Full time travel in the digital age means we have an array of mobile apps at our disposal. With over four years of RV living experience under our belts, these are 11 of our favorite apps for RVing and travel. These mobile apps will help you save money, prepare for emergencies and make new friends on the road.
Best Apps for RVing
With the exception of the first app on the list, these apps are free to download. The one thing you should monitor is the cellular data usage of each app unless you have an unlimited wireless data plan.
1. Allstays Camp & RV
One of the must have apps for RVing, Allstays Camp & RV is great for planning your next trip and for when you're on the road. We paid $9.99 and the app has more than paid for itself. Allstays Camp & RV has helped us find truck stops, rest areas, free RV dump stations, free camping options and so much more. Instead of having separate apps for finding a Walmart or a Pilot, we only need this one. Read our full review of the Allstays app to find out if it's worth it.

Desktop & Other Devices: https://www.allstays.com/proamember
2. GasBuddy
GasBuddy is a free mobile app that displays user updated gas prices in the United States and in Canada. When you're driving an RV, finding cheap fuel is key to saving money. There have been many instances where we saved over $.30/gallon on fuel thanks to this app. The best part is, we can look up gas prices in other cities to compare prices. You can also filter results which we use quite a bit when looking for Costco gas stations.
Android & iPhone: http://www.gasbuddy.com/App
3. Google Maps
You may be surprised to learn that we're not recommending Google Maps for navigation purposes. We use the app to save all the great places we discover and new places we want to explore. Being able to save a location on the map helps us remember where we've been and figure out where we want to head next. When a fellow traveler offers a recommendation, all we do is pull up the app and save the location on the map.
Android & iPhone: https://www.google.com/maps
4. AccuWeather
A good weather app is important when you're traveling. We've used several weather apps and found AccuWeather to be the most reliable. Beyond hourly and daily forecasts, the app has information on air quality and provides severe weather updates. You can customize the app to show the data most relevant to you.
Android, iPhone & Windows: https://downloads.accuweather.com/
5. Twitter
When there is severe weather, Twitter can be a very useful tool (check out the video below). Follow @NWS for NOAA's National Weather Service tweets. There are also separate accounts for sever thunderstorms (@NWSSevereTstorm), tornados (@NWStornado) and specific regions and cities in the United States.
Android & iPhone: https://twitter.com/download
6. 5-0 Radio Police Scanner
Ever wonder what's going on when you hear sirens in an area? Turn on the 5-0 Radio Police Scanner app and search for scanner feeds by country/state/county. We've used it to listen to the highway patrol to find out about accidents on the road. Like the weather app, this can be used to help keep you safe when traveling. If you're in an area and there is civil unrest, you can get live detailed updates on what's happening and the areas to avoid.
iPhone & Windows: http://www.smartestapple.com/
7. Speed Test
If you work on the road, having access to good internet speed is important. The Speed Test app will show you the download and upload speed. Our average video file is over 2 gigabytes. A slow upload speed could mean taking hours for a video to upload. This app can also help save money if you frequent coffee shops for their complimentary wifi. Before paying for that cup of coffee, test their wifi speed to make sure it's usable for your needs.
Android & iPhone: http://www.speedtest.net/mobile/
8. Instagram
We love Instagram when it comes to connecting with people and making new friends. Many travelers we follow geo tag their location on Instagram. If we see they're nearby, it's as easy as leaving a comment or sending a message to see if they want to hang out. We've been able to meet some great people this way and look forward to meeting many more. Connect with us on Instagram.
Android & iPhone: https://www.instagram.com/
9. Yelp
In addition to meeting locals and asking them for recommendations, we also use Yelp. This mobile app is great for finding everything from a good veterinarian to the best happy hour in town. You can also save money by looking for check-in offers. Some businesses offer discounts to Yelp users and we've saved quite a bit of money on coffee thanks to the Yelp app. It's not just coffee discounts either, we've saved money at restaurants and on services.
Android & iPhone: https://www.yelp.com/mobile
10. RedBox
A popular question that comes up is, "what do you do for entertainment?" Many people ask if we have a satellite dish to watch television shows. The truth is, we watch less than an hour of television per week. When we do feel like watching something, we rent a movie from RedBox. The app makes it easy to find a RedBox location and reserve a movie for pick up. Somedays it's nice to make a bowl of popcorn and enjoy a movie.
Android: http://www.redbox.com/android
iPhone: http://www.redbox.com/iphone
11. Google Translate
We have met people from all over the world in our travels. This free translation app makes it easier to communicate with each other when we don't speak the same language.
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/
iPhone: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-translate/
Bonus. Harvest Hosts
For those of you who have a Harvest Hosts membership, the mobile app is the quickest way to locate hosts nearby, read reviews and access detailed information about each host in the network. Read our full review of Harvest Hosts to learn more about the RV membership program.
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/

Ben and I just finished the first draft of our joint Rails vs Django paper for OSDC2006. We are feeling extremely diligent, having submitted it an entire hour before the midnight deadline.
It turns out that, in many respects, Rails and Django are equivalent. Some things Rails does better, and some things Django does better, but overall, its hard to make the general assertion, "Django is better than Rails" or vice versa. As a result, our paper is fairly balanced, and unlikely to spark much controversy. For the presentation in December, though, expect something a little more dramatic.
Thanks for getting the paper in :) I'm really looking forward to your presentation!

The Croswell Opera House in Adrian will celebrate two milestones this weekend with a concert performance of the musical "West Side Story."
This year marks the 100th birthday of composer Leonard Bernstein, who wrote the score for the classic musical.
It's also the 50th anniversary of the Croswell's rebirth as a live theater. In the late 1960s, the historic building was in danger of demolition. After it was saved from the wrecking ball, the first show produced on its stage with local talent was an Adrian High School production of "West Side Story" in the spring of 1968.
The concert, which kicks off the Croswell's 2018 Broadway Season, includes a cast of 30 and an 18-piece on-stage orchestra.
Opening night, which coincides with the Croswell's annual fundraising gala, is at 8 p.m. Friday, May 11. Additional performances will be at 8 p.m. Saturday, May 12, and 2:30 p.m. Sunday, May 13.
Brian Hissong, an Adrian native who played Tony in the 2006 international tour of "West Side Story," will return to his hometown stage to sing the role. Hissong now owns a production company near Washington, D.C.
The roles of Maria and Anita will be sung by Hannah Sparrow of Ypsilanti and Alaina Kerr of Michigan Center. The role of Riff, leader of the Jets, will be sung by Casey Noce of Adrian, and the role of Bernardo, leader of the Sharks, will be sung by Rudy Gonzalez of Monroe.
The ensemble includes Erica Buechele, Rachel Cheng, Gabriel Ebeling, Emily Hribar, Justin Kohlruss, Natasha Ricketts, Xavier Sarabia, Lisa Schrock-Ohlinger, Brienna Scott, Crosby Slupe and Ja'Vaughn White, all of Adrian; Laura Metdepenningen and Virginia Rawlings of Brooklyn; Chloe Danley, Sarah Hodgman and Sarah Nowak, all of Tecumseh; Lauren DePorre of Erie; Pierce Mitchell of Hudson; Nina King of Jackson; Steven Kiss of Lambertville; Alexandrea McCarty of Muskegon; Alan Gibson of Ottawa Lake; Walter Book of Petersburg; Cordell Smith of Riga; and Sarah Hunter of Perrysburg, Ohio.
Jonathan Sills will lead an on-stage orchestra in performing Bernstein's classic score. The concert is directed by John MacNaughton, with choreography by Hailie Hagedorn.
Tickets for opening night are $50 and include a postshow celebration with the cast. Tickets for Saturday and Sunday range from $30 to $50.
The next installment in the Croswell's 2018 Broadway Season will be the musical "Mamma Mia!," opening June 15.
The Croswell is at 129 E. Maumee St., Adrian. For information or to order tickets, call 517-264-7469 or go to croswell.org.

Once you have successfully enabled Alexa Video Skill on your TV or video service, it is time to use Alexa to control that TV or video service by voice commands. You would love to change channels, find and play movies and TV shows, and control playback. Check this tutorial on how to control tv or video services with Alexa.
Note that Alexa controls smart TV or video service via Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, Echo Plus and Echo Show devices; hence, you can use your voice commands to enjoy the viewing experience on your TV.
How to Control TV or Video Services with Alexa from Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, Echo Plus and Echo Show
Simply remember a few voice commands to change channels, find and play particular titles, and control playback. Check the commands listed below.
|Voice Commands
|Change Channels
|You can ask Alexa to change a particular channel by the number of channel or the name of that channel for live TV services.
|"Go to [channel / network]"
"Tune to channel [number]"
"Switch to [channel / network]"
"Change the channel to [channel / network / number]"
"Change to [channel / network]"
"Turn on [channel / network]"
"Watch [channel / network]"
|Find and Play Specific Titles
|You can command Alexa to look for movies, TV shows, and other programming by title, actor, genre, or category. With your voice command, you can also initiate playback from search results.
|"Play [movie / TV show]"
"Search for [movie / TV show / program category]"
"Watch [movie / TV show / episode]"
"Show me [kids / news / sports / etc.] programs"
"Find [movies / TV shows] with [actor]"
|Control Playback
|Alexa will help you control video playback for live and on-demand content.
"Fast-forward [timeframe]"
"Rewind [timeframe]"
In case there are more than one ways to watch a specific title, Alexa opens the video details on TV screen so that you can choose from available viewing and/or purchase options using your remote.
If you have set up parental controls or restrictions on viewing for TV or video service, you should keep using the same process to circumvent those restrictions; for this, you can enter your PIN or password using your remote. You cannot ask Alexa to bypass those restrictions.
That's it!

I showed you a picture of a lovely Persian kitty last week but I didn't post much about her.
Most of you don't know about Kelly my black and white kitty I had for almost 19.5 years. She was black and white and such a good girl. She loved people and cuddling and purrings and even though she was 20.5 years old she loved to play and run around and jump all over the place.
Last fall I discovered she had a tumour in her right jaw. She continued to do so well but in December I had to put her down. That was a very hard thing to do. It seemed she had always been with me forever and I loved that little girl so much. My boys were only 7 and 11 when we got her and she loved playing rough with them. I miss my pretty Kelly so much still.
Where I work we have a Veterinary Technician Program and twice a semester they bring in cats and dogs from a local pound. The students learn to become technicians by working with the staff and vet learning their skills with the animals. The animals are so well cared for by the students and mostly they are able to find homes for them and if not the animals go back to the pound for another chance.
Last week I found out about "Angelica". She is a beautiful dilute, calico Persian about 3 years old. On Tuesday I went back to the clinic to play and become more familiar with her. The students had called her Angelica…and now they have added Pickles to her name, Angelica Pickles now isn't that a name for a fluffy Persian? She is such a purrrrreer…and loves to be carried and loves to have you pet her and being brushed.
She is in fantastic shape so she did live with a family where she was cared for. We don't know what happened next in her life…. I have to make a decision in the next couple of days…
I am a little concerned because I have some leather furniture and she has claws. I know she loves to use a scratch post but….it only takes one scratching session on the sofa. I'm looking into perhaps having her declawed. She would only be an inside kitty. Is your kitty declawed? Does your kitty scratch your furniture?

Physicist: Idea That Universe is a Computer Too Anthropomorphic
Useful idea not being critically evaluated scientist says
One of the driving forces in modern science is the idea that the Universe "computes" the future, taking some initial state as an input and generating future states as an output. This is a powerful approach that has produced much insight. Some scientists go as far as to say that the Universe is a giant computer.
Is this a reasonable assumption? Today, Ken Wharton at San Jose State University in California, makes an important argument that it is not. His fear is that the idea of the universe as a computer is worryingly anthropocentric. "It's basically the assumption that the way we humans solve physics problems must be the way the universe actually operates," he says.

With a nod to Kind of Blue and Plugged Nickel, this just might be my favorite Miles album.
Now playing:Just received this one yesterday - listened to it last night before bed and now listening again.Brilliant!
One of my faves! Love that cover as well!
You would not have to work very hard to convince me! But, have you seen the film?
Terrific film and the music is no less.
I have not. Good?
I'm a bit less enthralled by "L'Ascenseur" ... it's a stylish, very moody film, Jeanne Moreau is stunning as only she could be back then (beauté amère) and the music is a perfect fit ... but my favourite french movies (and they're amongs my favourite of all movies of course) are the more adventurous ones by JLG, Resnais etc....
I do moody. But quite agree it's no match for most of Godard and Resnais. Or Clément. BTW: do you like L'Atalante? Prob. watched it more than any other French film, over and over and over. ma petite obsession.

Hina and Her Family Return at James B. Castle High SchoolPosted on Dec 17, 2018 in Art in Public Places Collection, Art in Public Places Program, Blog Post, Commissioned Works of Art
"Hina and Her Family Return" by Solomon Enos
"Hina and Her Family Return," a glass mosaic mural by artist Solomon Robert Nui Enos, was dedicated last week at the Ronald E. Bright Theatre at the Castle Performing Arts Center of James B. Castle High School in Kāneʻohe. The oli and blessing were performed by kumu hula Frank Kawaikapuokalani Hewett, a graduate of Castle High School.

About the artwork
Hina and Her Family Return depicts Hawaiian akua (deities) Hina, Lono, Kū, Kāne and Kanaloa returning to Moʻokapu Peninsula, now called Mōkapu. The akua are metaphoric of nature and reinforce the harmonious familial relationship that exists between humanity and the natural environment. As we witness the great changes happening to our climate, weather, land, resources and shoreline, we must prepare to greet them and make the best of our future together.
About the artist
Solomon Robert Nui Enos is a Native Hawaiian artist, illustrator, and visionary. A self-described "intelligent optimist," Solomon's art expresses his own aspirational vision of the world at its best, which is, at times, deployed through poly-fantastic (science fiction) narratives. His work touches on themes of ancestry and identity, the human relationship with the Earth, and the future of Hawai'i, its people, and its resources. He has exhibited in Biennial X (Honolulu Museum of Art), 6th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (Queensland Art Gallery), CONTACT art exhibitions, and others. His work is held in private collections and in the public collections of the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center and Hawai'i State Art Museum.
Solomon was born and raised in Mākaha Valley on the island of O'ahu and is a proud father of four. He credits much of his artistic inspiration and drive to his family, the Enos 'Ohana.
About the Art Advisory Committee
The Art Advisory Committee for this work of art included Karen Meyer (chair), Sarah Wade, Casilda Rippard, and Cory DeJesus. The role of the Art Advisory Committee is to make recommendations to the SFCA regarding the development and design of a given art project, including location, medium, distinguishing features of the artwork, and selection of the artist. The SFCA appoints members of the Art Advisory Committee from users of the facility and representatives from the community in which the facility is located. The committee chairperson is a representative of the state department, division or agency to which that state building or space is assigned. Others from the committee who serve as a resource or advisory member may include some or all of the following: the project architect, representatives of the state comptroller, representatives of state departments that are responsible for the construction or renovation, representatives of the APP Program, and as appropriate, SFCA-appointed artists or technical experts. The SFCA determines the method in which the art project should be commissioned.
About the Location
The James B. Castle High School is located in Kāneʻohe, on the Windward Side of Oahu, and serves grades 9 – 12.
The Castle Performing Arts Center (CPAC) at James B. Castle High School is a learning and entertainment center, serving hundreds of students in grades 5-12 in Windward Oʻahu.
The glass mosaic mural was funded through the Art in Public Places Program of the SFCA, which receives one percent of the construction and renovation costs for state buildings to integrate art into the built environment of Hawai'i.
The Art in Public Places Program (APP Program) was created to strengthen the Hawai'i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts' capability to stimulate, guide and promote culture and the arts through the field of the visual arts. The APP Program seeks to: enhance the environmental quality of state public buildings and spaces throughout the state for the enjoyment and enrichment of the public; cultivate the public's awareness, understanding and appreciation of visual arts in all media, styles and techniques; contribute toward the development and recognition of a professional artistic community; and acquire, interpret, preserve and display works of art expressive of the character of the Hawaiian Islands, the multicultural heritage of its people, and the various creative interests of its artists. Artwork in the Art in Public Places Collection can be viewed online in the Art in Public Places online catalog as well as the Public Art Archive (www.publicartarchive.org).

With vote to protect Dreamers, Dems discredit key GOP attack
The House-passed bill would protect from deportation and provide a pathway toward citizenship for young migrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children. Many would-be "Dreamers" currently safeguarded by the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, which only the federal courts have thwarted Trump from dismantling.
It would also shield others here temporarily because their home countries — chiefly in Central America, Africa and the Middle East — have been ravaged by wars or natural disasters.
The bill passed 237 to 187, with unanimous Democratic support, and the backing of seven House Republicans. Nine years earlier, when the chamber took up the original Dream Act, three dozen conservative House Dems balked, while eight GOP members voted for it.
All of which suggests that Democrats have grown more unified and progressive on the issue, while Republicans' hostility toward the mainstream proposal has managed to get slightly more intense. (The official House GOP Twitter account condemned the proposal yesterday as a "mass amnesty bill.")
After the 2010 bill passed, it died in the Senate at the hands of a Republican filibuster. This year, the filibuster probably won't matter, because Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is unlikely to allow the chamber to consider the bill at all.
It's against this backdrop that GOP leaders, including Donald Trump, are pushing a disjointed message: Republicans are asking the public to believe the bills Democrats keep passing are misguided, while simultaneously arguing that Democrats aren't passing any bills.
Indeed, the president has been almost hysterical on this point, tweeting before leaving for the U.K., "[T]he Dems are getting nothing done in Congress. They are frozen stiff." It came on the heels of a series of related missives, one of which insisted, "Democrats … don't want to do anything."
His allies have been quick to echo the talking points. Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) argued last week, "It's going to be pretty hard to pass legislation when that's all the House is really doing [focusing on investigating White House scandals]. I warned voters ahead of the 2018 election that if you put Democrats in front of the House, all you're going to be talking about is investigations, talk of impeachment and it won't be about governing."
The evidence proving these claims wrong is hard to miss.
In every Congress, the House majority leadership, regardless of which party is in control, sets aside the first 10 available bill numbers. As regular readers know, it's intended as a symbolic way to signal a party's top legislative priorities: H.R. 1 through H.R. 10 will reflect the leadership's most important goals.
We haven't yet reached the half-way point of the first year of this Congress, and already the House Democratic majority has passed its democracy-reform package (H.R. 1), the Equality Act to expand civil rights to LGBTQ Americans (H.R. 5), the Dream and Promise Act (H.R. 6), the Paycheck Fairness Act to address pay disparities between men and women (H.R. 7), a bill to expand background checks on gun purchases (H.R. 8), and a bill to address the climate crisis (H.R. 9).
House Dems have also passed a bill to lower prescription drug costs, a couple of other health care bills, and an expansion of the Violence Against Women Act.
On the other side of Capitol Hill, the list of major legislative breakthroughs in the Republican-led Senate is effectively blank. By some measures, the Senate GOP's leadership has effectively given up on legislating altogether.
One of Trump's principal political goals in recent months has been to make the case that lawmakers can't walk and chew gum at the same time: Congress can either focus on governing or they can scrutinize his many scandals. To try to do both, the White House has said, "can't work."
Reality is telling a very different story. Democrats can credibly claim they're focused on governing and oversight. Can Republicans say the same?

Our Greer Optometrist Helps You With Myopia
When you or your child are not seeing things quite the way you should, it may be time to go see a Greenville or Greer Optometrist. One of the most common vision problems that bring people to see an eye doctor is nearsightedness, otherwise known as myopia. If you suspect or know that you or your child has myopia it is time to schedule an eye exam at Blue Ridge Vision in Greenville as soon as possible.
What is Myopia?
Myopia is a refractive error of that causes nearsightedness. In other words, someone with myopia can see objects that are close up normally, however they are unable to focus on objects far away as well as a person with normal vision. Fortunately, in most cases corrective lenses, either eyeglasses or contacts can change the way the eyes see distant objects so that that person can see much better.
Myopia is a form of nearsightedness that normally occurs in people under 40 years old. It happens because the eyeball is too long, or because of the cornea or lens of the curves too much.
Although you may suspect you have myopia, it takes a professional comprehensive exam to determine how much of a refractive error exists, and the exact prescription that is necessary to see properly.
Greenville or Greer Optometrist For Myopia Treatment
The most common treatment for myopia is eyeglasses, but contact lenses are also a popular choice. The greater the degree of myopia you have, the more likely it is that you will need to wear your glasses or contacts all or most of the time. In some cases, people with myopia choose to have refractive surgery, such as LASIK in order to correct vision permanently.
Call Blue Ridge Vision Today To Learn More About Myopia!
At Blue Ridge Vision, we serve both Greer and Greenville, SC and the surrounding area and provide comprehensive vision screening and exams that can not only determine if you have a refractive error like myopia or farsightedness, but will also check for various eye conditions such as cataracts and glaucoma, and can also help identify health issues such as high blood pressure or diabetes. Not everyone's myopia solution is the same, and since prescriptions and eye health can change, it is important to get back to the eye doctor on a regular basis. To learn more about all your options for myopia treatment, contact us at Blue Ridge Vision in Greenville, SC at 864-877-3031 to schedule an eye exam.

The May 2005 National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) Conference on English Education (CEE) Leadership and Policy Summit brought together over 75 past, present, and future leaders of CEE from across the United States to Georgia State University to rethink issues related to the preparation and continuing professional development of English language arts teachers and teacher educators (see the Leadership and Policy Summit home page). [Editor's note: URLs for hotlinks can be found at the end of this paper in the Resources section.] The goal of the working meeting was to assemble a collective knowledge base and a series of written position papers to guide future policy efforts of English teacher preparation and development in this country.

Local journalists urged to effitively use Kinyarwanda language, reflect the culture in their reporting
By Elias Hakizimana.
Rwandan journalists are called on to use Kinyarwanda language in their daily reports as efficient as possible and respect the culture of the country to avoid whatever can backward the country's benefit due to negative reporting.
The call was made on November 14, 2018 by Rwanda Media High Council (MHC) in partnership with Rwanda Academy of Language and Culture (RALC) while introducing a five-day training of journalists on Rwandan Culture reporting in media content creation- theoretical phase in Kigali.
The training embarked on Rwandan values, social norms and 'Kirazira'/myths and positive use of Kinyarwanda language in news reporting.
When officially opening the theoretical training, Peacemaker Mbungiramihigo, the Executive Secretary of MHC said the training was organised in line with MHC responsibilities.
"We wish that media work by reflecting professionalism and be catalysts of culture and language preservation to lighten the audience and be the bridge that links leaders and citizens," Mbungiramihigo said.
This training followed the recent one on the usage of Kinyarwanda language in media content held in Musanze District in May 2017.
"Our recent research revealed that culture space in media is still low. By then MHC and RALC took a decision to help media improve on Kinyarwanda language used in articles and talk shows by highlighting also the culture. This training will help us build partnership with your respective media outlets. We want to boost our language and culture and I believe after this training you will be more skilled and give impacts," he added.
Shami Aloys Rukizangabo, a professional culture journalist reminded journalists that they can create innovations and challenge those who negatively report on culture such as Miss-Rwanda by rethinking and help the community know about who can be a beautiful Rwandan girl.
Dr.James Vuningoma, Executive Secretary of RALC recommended journalists to use available opportunities for the country's benefits, arguing that whatever they can report should be constructive and serve the common interests.
Journalists' feed back
Aisha Umukobwa, a freelance journalist who was among the trainees said that the training is a great contribution to help journalists bridge the gap of their current Kinyarwanda use and and culture reflection while reporting.
She said that there is still a long way to go to improve on this situation.
"For one to give a hand, it is pre-requisite to have an arm, which means that for a journalist to report with respect of Kinyarwanda language better use and culture framework, he/she should have skills in that regard and at higher level. Our current level in Kinyarwanda use does not give a hope and even our past education from families weakens our language use, some of us still mix Kinyarwanda with other languages. I request RALC to continue training journalists to uproot the disability we have in enriching our local language use," Umukobwa said.

text: Based on the true story of the Von Trapp Family Singers, this play captures a personal tale of growth and hope amidst the horrors of World War II. The Sound of Music tells the tale of young postulant Maria Rainer, whose free spirit has trouble fitting into the rules and regulations of Nonnberg Abbey. Commissioned by the Mother Abbess to serve as the governess. Maria transforms the Von Trapp family home from a place of dour rules and regulations to one filled with joy, with laughter, and with music. In the process, Maria wins the hearts of all seven children--and their widower father, Captain Von Trapp. With the Mother Abbess' blessing, and to the children's delight, Maria follows her heart, and Maria and the Captain marry. Upon returning home from their honeymoon, Maria and the Captain learn that their beloved Austria has been taken over by the Nazis, and the retired Captain is asked to report for immediate service in the Nazi Navy. When the Nazis show up at their door to take Captain Von Trapp away, it is a family singing engagement that buys the family time to make their narrow escape.

We hope that you all enjoyed your extended summer break this year and got to spend time doing the things that make you happy and refreshed. Hopefully, the summer months provided you and your family time to reconnect and relax.
August 12, 2019
Hello to the Seymour Public Schools Community,
We hope that you all enjoyed your extended summer break this year and got to spend time doing the things that make you happy and refreshed. Hopefully, the summer months provided you and your family time to reconnect and relax.
Summer is a great time to reflect and recharge and we sincerely hope that each and every one of you took the time necessary to do that. However, as you also know, summer time is also a time for a lot of hard work to get things prepared for the upcoming school year. We want to thank our wonderful custodial staff for their hard work throughout the summer. We appreciate their commitment to getting our facilities ready on time even though there was a great deal of activity going on at some of the buildings this summer. Our buildings look amazing and are ready to welcome back our students. We also want to thank Mr. Dyer and his staff for getting all of the technology throughout the district updated and ready to go. Their hard work is to be commended. Another group to thank is our building Administrators, who along with the Central Office Team have worked hard in order to properly screen, interview, and hire needed staff. We would be remiss if we did not thank all of the members of our staff who did a phenomenal job during summer school. During the summer, our teachers assembled to work on and improve current curriculum across all grade levels and this work with continue throughout the year in order to enhance the learning experience for all students.
As educators and fellow parents, we too know the anxiety and excitement that come along with the start of a new school year and while this can at times be unsettling and cause some students and parents to lose some sleep, we encourage you to remember that all of us here in Seymour have your children's best interest at heart. It is our mission to help each and every one of your children to learn and grow as individuals both intellectually as well as socially. We once again say THANK YOU for your hard work as a parent and as an advocate for your child and we are happy that you choose to share your children with us and we look forward to assisting them throughout this new school year. As professionals who chose this wonderful educational career pathway, we get to see firsthand the direct impact that learning has on your child and we are here to watch your children flourish and mature with every passing day.
As you have heard me say many times, our students are always our number one priority and we will continue to build and cultivate our partnerships with you in order to help your children succeed. We will continue to work together for all of Seymour's students during the 2019-2020 school year.
Last year, our students did very well on the various assessments (MAP, SBAC, SAT, and AP) administered to them and we have continued to see growth across the K-12 spectrum. This growth is a direct result of your student's hard work and effort as well as their teacher's hard work and dedication in getting them prepared. My team of administrators and teachers are confident that this growth will continue this year and beyond because of the support that you give to your children and to our schools. Please always remember that true learning happens as a team, and as such, you are an integral part of this process. As parents, you are to be commended for being your child's biggest fan and educational advocate. It is that support of your children as well as your support of their teachers and the learning process that we can and truly will succeed at the highest possible level.
Seymour is a great learning community where academics and extracurricular activities flourish. The amount of time and dedication that your children place into learning as well as into extracurricular activities and community events is beyond amazing. Our students know what it means to be well rounded because they are so heavily engaged and involved. Their hard work and dedication is impressive and this will truly carry them far in life. My team and I are fortunate and honored to serve your amazing children and to serve a community that values education and supports our school system.
Our expectations are very high for another great school year where our students shine in the classroom and in the community. We are excited to greet your children on our first day of school on Wednesday August 28, 2019. Please remember to visit the district's website at: http://www.seymourschools.org as well as our Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/SeymourPublicSchools in order to keep up to date on all activities and events.
With great pride,
Michael Wilson, Superintendent
Go Wildcats!

Everyone who lives in Boston knows Patriots Day. Kids get the day off from school, the Red Sox play an 11 a.m. game and the Boston Marathon takes place.
In fact the organizers of the marathon and the Red Sox management coordinate so that when the Sox game finishes the crowd will be leaving Fenway Park at about the time the frontrunners in the marathon pass by close to the end of the race.
And then about a half a million people — or more — line the 26-mile route and cheer on the actual competitors, the hobbyists and those running for a variety of charities and special causes, like the team from Newtown, Connecticut running for the families of the victims in the mass murder that took place in that town December 14, 2012.
The Boston Marathon — it's been going on for 116 years and is one of the biggest single day sporting events in America, if not the world. It is actually the first marathon to be organized outside of the Olympics. People come from around the world to compete or to just get in the spirit of the event. I have friends here in California that go or have gone just so they can say they ran in the Boston Marathon. It's a huge event and defines Boston as much as the Red Sox.
For many Americans the Boston Marathon is as American as apple pie and John Wayne. But in anti-terrorism circles the Boston Marathon is called a "soft target," and it's a really soft target at that.
Hundreds of thousands of people packed into a small area paying attention to 20,000-plus runners in a race. On top of that, the runners, for those who don't know, leave their backpacks at the finish line so when they complete the run they can get their things; water bottles, clothes, etc. and carry on with their day. Nobody thinks twice about unattended backpacks at a marathon because there are literally thousands of them.
An unattended backpack at any other event would have the police and first responders responding with bomb-sniffing dogs and all the other paraphernalia that goes along with the local bomb unit. But not at a marathon or other such running event. If Grandma sent you a box of cookies and you took the bus to pick it up from the post office—and then forgot the package on the bus, well you'd first have to explain it to Grandma, but it would get reported and that bus would be stopped, the package searched and removed and if they saw you on surveillance video leaving it, you would then be a target of the investigation. But not at the Boston Marathon. There, a backpack sitting on the ground is common.
About four hours into the race, after all the frontrunners had crossed the finish line and during that period when the non-competitors would be packed in the tightest and there would be the largest crowds of the day waiting for friends and loved ones to finish the race, two bombs exploded near the finish line, killing Krystle Campbell, 29, Martin Richard, 8 and a 23-year old Chinese graduate student.
A person or persons unknown with equally unknown motives had violated this once happy-go-lucky holiday. As of 27 hours later, authorities are still looking for the suspects. The questions of who and why may take a while to answer, but with thousands of cameras in the area, both still and video, the FBI and local law enforcement are hoping to get some leads from the three terabytes of photos and video they have collected since Monday.
The question is: how will this change Boston and its famous marathon? How will it change America? Will future marathoners be able to leave their things unattended, like they have been doing for decades? We hardly notice the changes that have taken place since the attacks of September 11, 2001. We calmly accept the beefed up security and those of us that bristle at how our civil liberties are being whittled away with unwarranted wiretapping and eavesdropping, among other assaults on the Bill of Rights. For the most part our complaints fall on deaf ears. We live in a post 9-11 world now.
How long will we remain angry over this event? The bombs were constructed in pressure cookers, the ubiquitous kitchen appliance that can be found in millions of home, just in America. What's a salesperson going to think, or say, when people buy pressure cookers from the local Wal-Mart or Target?
Pressure cookers … who knew? We all know now. It's like box cutters. Who would have considered a box cutter a weapon before the attacks of September 11, 2001?
Because the information to make these and other bombs is readily available on the Internet, just about anyone can make one — or two. Which means the suspect list could include just about any domestic or foreign person or group. In fact it does, although law enforcement might have whittled down the list a little, considering all the advancements in forensic science.
The average American just wants to know who would do this and why?
Of course we have the nut cases weighing in. On Monday one of those nuts, Dan Bidondi of InfoWars, had the temerity to ask Governor Deval Patrick of Massachusetts if this was a case of a "… another false flag staged attack to take our civil liberties and promote Homeland Security while sticking their hands down our pants on the streets?"
Where would someone get that crazy idea? Radio talk show host Alex Jones. On his radio show Jones said the evidence proving this bombing was staged by the federal government was overwhelming. This is the same nut case who is pushing the conspiracy theories that that government staged the mass shootings in Aurora, CO and Newtown, CT.
That wouldn't be such a big deal, but Jones gets airtime on FoxNews so his crazy talk gets picked up and spread through social media like Facebook and Twitter.
This only serves to prolong and deepen the grief of those personally touched by these tragedies.
Yes, the crazies crawl out of the woodwork when these events take place, but most people recoil at the nonsense they spew, almost as much as the event itself. It will go unnoticed for the most part as we focus our attention on the victims. There are candle light vigils taking place and people all over the country, the world even, are paying their respects to Boston as best they know how.
We will get past this, as we usually do, but we may never look at the Boston Marathon the same way, maybe for a few years anyway. But we're Americans and we like to enjoy ourselves, to do what the Declaration of Independence says we can do: pursue happiness. We've never let these tragedies destroy our spirit and this bombing of the Boston Marathon won't do it either. We need to be vigilant for the perpetrator(s) of this act and future attacks.
We also need to be vigilant so we don't over-react by treating everyone that seems different like suspects. And we need to resist the urge to whittle away at our civil liberties even more than has already taken place. Nothing says "they" won like turning our nation into a police state.
Most of all we need to remember all the victims of this horrific crime. The rest of us may bounce back from this, but for the families of the three people killed in these blasts, as well as all those injured, will spend a lifetime reliving Monday's events. We just don't get over the loss of a loved one, especially a child, to these kinds of tragedies. Victims and their families learn to deal with it, although some don't.
As we go about returning to life as usual, let's remember these victims and their families. Their lives will never be the same again.

We recently moved offices using crates and found them to be fantastic. Packing and unpacking was easy, our equipment and belongings were safe and secure and the skates made the whole experience so much easier for everyone.
There were no strained muscles or tired backs, and we could all easily move our crates into our new workspaces ourselves to unpack them.
It was very convenient to have the crates delivered and removed for us, and we were all quite shocked at how cheap the whole exercise was. It was much, much better than using cardboard boxes, it cost less and was less hassle. We have no hesitation recommending Premier Crate Hire to anyone who is moving, they're great!

Period 5
Ghost Story
The Panteon of Belen, located in Guadalajara, Mexico is considered to be one of the most historic cemeteries in Mexico. After the Independence War, Guadalajara faced a large number of famines and epidemic diseases during the 1800's. The Cholera killed a large percentage of the population and the city was faced with the necesity of building a new hospital as well as a Cemetery in order to bury the bodies. Today the hospital is still in use with the cemetery right next to it. Over the years the cemetery has been considered to be haunted. Surrounded my numerous stories about ghosts sightings that have been recorded along with massive hysteria. There has been many myths throughout the years surrounding this infamous cemetery, stories from ghosts to vampires, but the thing is that I never new about this cemetery until I unexpectedly experienced it for myself.
Last year our family was faced with a tragic devastation surrounding the welfare of my aunt. We had traveled to Guadalajara that very same day to visit her. They had found a tumor in her head and where examining thouroughly. After they took x-rays, they moved my aunt to another room, while the nurse helped moved all her information and belongings, but she had acccidently taken the x-rays with her. By that time, it was about two in the morning and that's when we realized that the x-rays where missing. My mother along with my cousins were taking care of my aunt, so I decided I had to go seek help in order to retrive the x-rays, especially since the doctor needed them. I asked the nearest nurse for directions to the emergency room. As she was giving me the directions I tried to remember eveything, but at times it was difficult for me to understand, although I am hispanic and I do understand spanish, I am no expert, and it made it even more difficult for me to understand since the nurse was using words I didn't quite understand. I thanked her for her help and I went along...


text: IEM and HRTF 2006-09-28 18:47:30 Hey guys,Ok heres my dillema, i hope you don't mind helping.I am getting my HRTFs measured and therefor when i use them i need to use canal phones that have a frequency response that is flat at my ear drum, as this is where the hrtfs will be measured from. I noticed the etymotic er4b are designed from the er1's that are equalized to the "soundfield." there er2's are equalized to the ear canal. So why did they develope the er4b from the er1's if you want to use it for binaural recordings??what does equalizing it to the soundfield mean anyway? Is this diffuse field equalizing? in this case isn't the headphone equalized to a random soundfilled room?My second concern is this. because of highend loudspeakers frequency response, CD's have a high end frequency rise. the er4s etymotics compensate for that, do the er4b? and how am i going to find flat responding (at the ear drum) canalphones with that compensation?Also, wouldn't all canalphones be equalized for flat since they are in the ear canal? except for the cd higher frequency compensation? Or is it that manufacturers choose to modify the sound a little to what people will like?I think the er4s must be flat "at the ear drum" except for a little roll off for the cd compensation. This is what i want, so the er4b is the same without the cd compensation then right?thanks for the help guys and sorry for my ramble but those are my thoughts.ps. i would rather not equalize my hd650's as there is good chance of making it worse than flat due to the difficult to equalize spectral qualities, i've been told by the hrtf system designers.

News that the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) is considering redirecting $313 million from light rail to state highways because of the Government's bungled delivery of the Auckland light rail project, is positive, but needs to go further and faster, National's Transport spokesperson Chris Bishop says.
"Minister of Transport Phil Twyford has received five papers since February about reallocating money from light rail to highways and admitted in Parliament on Tuesday the NZTA is looking at $313 million being reallocated. This can't happen quickly enough given the infrastructure crisis created by the Government's inept handling of the transport portfolio and broken promises around light rail.
"While Kiwis have been paying more at the pump through increased fuel taxes, critical roading projects around the country have been delayed or cancelled. Some of them were already ready to go when National left government in 2017.
"Instead, the money has been piling up for light rail to Mt Roskill which was meant to be complete by 2021 but which Cabinet will not even start making decisions on until 2020.
"The Prime Minister's so-called 'Year of Delivery' has been a joke when it comes to transport. Not a single major project has started under this government and the Prime Minister's own hand-picked Business Advisory Council says we are facing an 'infrastructure crisis.'
"Infrastructure companies are warning we are on the edge of a construction cliff.
"Is a transport 'reset' coming, a la KiwiBuild?
"Mr Twyford has made a hash of this portfolio, just as he did with Housing. He has an ideological aversion to building new roads and is incapable of delivering on his and the Prime Minister's promises on light rail."
