Lebanese soldiers have been kidnapped by ISIS, Daesh and el Nosra for more than 60 days.
till now all we can witness is how the families of those kidnapped, can protest by going down the Streets and cutting roads.
No help, especially psychological help is offered for the families.
All I can think off is what those children, mothers, sisters , brothers and dads thinking while their relative are kidnapped on the hands of a terrorist branch?!
what might they think off after seeing one of the colleagues of their children beheaded and getting killed in a horrific and undescreptible manner!
the State must do something and help the families psychologically with a especial unit, but also medically and financially ….

this kind of support should have been come at the beginning to avoid these relatives demonstration. For example, in France, in each similar case, abductees families are regularly received by the foreign ministry and the president at L'elysee.
However, it's never too late to act responsibly and Tamam Salam and his government can react and settle a special unit to treat and follow up on this case.

The second annual MD Classic football game is still two weeks away but coaches, players and parents from Monrovia and Duarte high schools will kick off festivities with a barbecue today at Duarte High.
The mayors from both cities and other dignitaries are expected to attend as well. The event is closed to the public.
"I got the idea from FSN when they were talking up the Turkey Tussle," said Henry "Big Bob" Clark of Big Dreams Productions. "It's a way to get kids some exposure and hopefully an event college coaches will circle in their calendars so they can come out and watch the talent on this side of the valley."
Duarte is hoping to claim bragging rights after Monrovia beat the Falcons in the inaugural game last season, 14-6, and then, 41-21, in the quarterfinals of the CIF-Southern Section Mid-Valley Division playoffs.
The MD Classic trophy is named after Don Montgomery, a former superintendent of the Monrovia Unified School District. The MVP award is named after the late Edward "Tuttie" White, who played at Monrovia in the early 70s and went on to play at Cal State Fullerton.
Fans who attend the Sept. 11 game at Duarte may be eligible for parting gifts.
Kids coming through the gate are automatically entered into a drawing for a $300 Visa gift card.
Fans can also enter a drawing for a 32-inch flat screen TV to be sold for $1.

- Ghanaians to experience erratic power supply if government fails to as a matter of urgency address the debt situation at Ghana Grid Co Limited (GRIDCo)
- According to policy think tank, IES, GRIDCo reeling under pressure with huge debts
Ghana could soon face an erratic power supply if government fails to put in place measures to address the debt situation at Ghana Grid Co Limited (GRIDCo), policy think tank Institute of Energy Security (IES) has warned.
According to the IES, it is worrying that debts continue to pile up as a result of the inability of some state institutions to pay their bills to GRIDCo.
The Institute identified the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Volta Aluminum Company Limited (VALCO), Volta River Authority (VRA), Great Consolidated Mines, Asogli Thermal Station, Ameri Power Plant, NEDCo, Bui Power Plant and Karpowership as companies who currently owe GRIDCo.

Executive Director of IES, Paa Kwasi Anamua Sakyi, has warned that the country could soon experience erratic power supply if government does not immediately resolve the debt situation at the power transmitting company.
"GRIDCo is also reeling under pressure as a result so we are not surprised at the development," he told Accra-based Joy FM.
According to him, "because of the inefficiency in the distribution network, we have power losses of more than 8% currently. So, there is the tendency that we if they are unable to get their equipment right and retool then, of course, there could be a nationwide blackout."
"Knowing very well that GRIDCo has power challenges in terms of their outdated and inefficient distribution equipment, they will require enough funds to retool themselves and make their system of distribution more efficient," he added.
Mr. Anamua Sakyi further called on the Energy Ministry to take immediate steps to resolve the situation or risk seeing the country go back to the days of power outages, locally known as 'Dumsor'.

Information contained in GRIDCo's statement of account put out in August indicates that the ECG alone owes an outstanding amount of ¢957 million, whiles VALCO also has a debt of ¢29 million.
But whiles both companies have since been to make part payments, their debts still stand at ¢253 million at ¢2.5 million respectively.

Oh noooooo...someone agrees with users demanding a dark theme....we're doomed.
Did you think I was done with Marshmallow Android custom ROMs after my less-than-stellar experience with the latest CyanogenMod nightlies? Well, I'm not. Here's one more, the AOSP-based Pure Nexus Project. It's currently the most popular Nexus 6P ROM on XDA, and for the foreseeable future will be powering my own daily driver.
At first glance, the only unique thing about it seems to be an app linking to the developer's social media accounts. I wonder what would happen if I tapped on that hamburger menu?
Ah, there we go... all the little customizations that make a custom ROM so great. The ones I've come to expect are all present and accounted for, including a "close all" option in the recents menu and cursor keys in the navigation bar while typing. As an added bonus you also get a KitKat-style sound toggle between vibration and silent modea welcome change after having to put up with this dubious Lollipop "feature".
Battery life on Pure Nexus has so far been more than acceptable. Here you can see Doze doing its thing, while the phone's owner does the same. I can't brag about screen-on time just yet, as I've yet to fully deplete the battery. I'll keep an eye out.
No complaints about performance, either. Here are the AnTuTu benchmark results of my phone compared to a typical Moto Nexus 6my numbers are no doubt boosted by the fact that this ROM doesn't force full disk encryption.
In fact, on this particular test my 6P scored higher than both the Galaxy S6 Edge and Note 5, ranking just below the Huawei Mate 8. I'm definitely ok with that.
I'm likewise definitely okay with the Pure Nexus Project. It's been rock solid since installation, and the developer is planning a version that supports the CyanogenMod Theme Engine (it currently supports RRO Layers).
Download the Pure Nexus Project for the 6P on XDA, or find a download link for your device (sorry, Nexuses only) via the developer's Google+ Community.
My mobile memoirs free ebook available here.
My HoFo feedback... is that still a thing?
Oh noooooo...someone agrees with users demanding a dark theme....we're doomed.
How's that, exactly...?
"It's currently the most popular Nexus 6P ROM on XDA"
Where is your source regarding this statement?
The link that surrounds those exact words?
Here it is again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/development#romList
Pure Nexus is currently listed as having 71 followers, with Chromathe next one down the listhaving only 19.
Dont you think that is misleading by using "followers" and thanks" that as your source?
But anyhow, no point arguing..
That's the only source I have. Please explain to me how it's misleading.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Hope you change your shorts at least as frequently as your Roms.
Unlimited incoming and outgoing calls, Unlimited Canada-wide long distance
Unlimited text, picture and video messages from Canada to Canadian, U.S. and international wireless numbers
5 GB of Data, Call Display, Voicemail, Unlimited Circle Calling, Call Waiting, Conference Call
Gold Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge 32GB + 128GB SD Card
Maybe, maybe not. Without a quantifiable data set we'd never know.
You could look at the download numbers on Android File Host (for example) but again, what I wrote was "most popular Nexus 6P ROM on XDA". That ROM list I linked to is the only quantifiable data I can find for ranking custom ROMs on XDA.
If you can do better, be my guest...

DEPARTING fly-half Sam Windsor will be going on a trip to Portugal with Worcester Warriors and could yet feature in the club's promotion run-in.
But Warriors' director of rugby Dean Ryan admits the Ulster-bound Windsor is not currently at the front of the pecking order for a first team spot.
Ryan said: "Sam is going to Portugal with the younger group and if he plays there, he certainly could be an option for the run-in.
"It would take some injuries to do that but it could be an option."
Windsor, who linked up with Warriors in December, suffered a dislocated shoulder in scoring a try on his debut for the Cavaliers in an A-League match against Bristol.
The Australian three-quarter is leaving Worcester at the end of the season and Ryan believes the club paid the price for putting him in the shop window.
"Sam's taking an opportunity in Ulster which I can understand,"said Ryan.
"I am disappointed because he's somebody we wanted to maintain a relationship with.
"The way in which we managed him after a 10-minute trial I thought we would continue with.
"I don't hold anything against Sam for taking an opportunity but we were under the impression that he was going forward with us.
"I understand what it's like to be a player and you have make choices and you have to make those choices successfully.
"I looked to build something where we had a long-term relationship but he's chosen to go somewhere else.
"All I am trying to do is create a pathway at Worcester but we weren't successful in this particular situation."
With Tiff Eden, Ryan Mills and Ryan Lamb at the club next season and Tom Heathcote soon to join from Edinburgh, Ryan is content with his fly-half options.
"Tiff has progressed at a rate, while we've got Heathcote coming in and we already know Millsy and Lamby so I am not panicking.
"Sometimes you run contingencies to see where they go and Sam was one who we thought was travelling with us.
"By putting Sam in the shop window to travel with us we probably put him into somewhere else."

Yesterday saw the launch of the fifth edition of the Perodua Eco-Challenge, and for 2013 a total of 10 institutions of higher learning will be taking part. The challenge this year involves redesigning a Perodua Myvi into a totally different look, by December.
The institutions taking part in this year's Eco-Challenge are Universiti Selangor, Universiti Teknology Petronas, Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka, Universiti Malaysia Pahang, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Universiti Malaysia Perlis (NEW), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN) and Politeknik Ungku Omar.
Perodua president and CEO Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh said that the participating teams will not only have to make the car more fuel efficient, but also have to improve on its design to suit the needs and lifestyle of the Malaysian public.
A new 'Styling' category has been added and will be an integral part of the challenge, with each team having to make its car marketable in terms of both look and design. Other categories for this year's Eco-Challenge include 'Long Distance', 'Engineering', 'Time Attack', 'Marketing Challenge' and 'The Overall Champion' category.
"To make things even more interesting, each team must have the Perodua name in their finished product; such as the Perodua Dreadnaught or the Perodua Flash – for example," Aminar said.
He added that in conjunction with celebrating the company's 20th anniversary this year, Perodua will be increasing the total prize money by 23% to RM127,000 from the RM103,000 offered for last year's challenge. On the whole, the company has spent some RM6 million for the eco-challenge programme since it began in 2009.

Are you still buying antibacterial soap and other cleansers? Why?
Perhaps you think these products will keep you safe from germs and protect you from illness? The truth may surprise you. According to the Federal Drug Administration, there is no evidence that these over-the-counter products are more effective at preventing illness than washing with plain soap and water.
The Good Human has written about the dangers of antibacterial soaps before, but here's a refresher: Not only are there no proven benefits of using antibacterial or antimicrobial soaps, there could be harmful side-effects associated with the use of the chemical ingredients found in such products. Many liquid soaps contain triclosan, which has raised many concerns with environmental groups. Triclosan has been found to alter bodily hormones in animal studies. These studies suggest further investigation is needed to see how this ingredient affects the human body.
Because Triclosan is found in pesticides, the FDA is now working in tandem with the Environmental Protection Agency on science and regulatory issues related to the chemical. (Why would you willingly wash your hands with something found in pesticides?) The FDA announced recently that it is proposing a change that would require studies to test the ability of an antibacterial soap to provide a clinical benefit compared with washing with a non-antibacterial soap.
Now is the time to weigh in on this issue. FDA encourages consumers, clinicians, environmental groups, scientists, industry representatives and others to discuss and weigh in on the proposed rule and the data it discusses. The comment period is currently open. Submit your comment online at www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/ContactFDA.

Memorable royal wedding dresses through the ages
Camilla Parker-Bowles, April 9, 2005
Camilla Parker-Bowles was in a unique position when marrying Prince Charles, as this was a second marriage for both of them. As such, instead of wearing a white or ivory gown, Camilla opted for a more understated cream chiffon dress with an oyster coat. "Keeping detailing to the minimum, this contemporary outfit followed the tradition of not wearing ivory or white for a second wedding and instead featured modern styling, including a cream coloured straw hat."
Memorable royal wedding dresses through the ages
Princess Alexandra, March 10, 1863
Long before Meghan caught the affections of the British public, Princess Alexandra of Denmark was the foreign bride crowds couldn't wait to see. This is the first ever photograph of a member of the royal family wearing their wedding dress, from her marriage to Queen Victoria's son Edward Albert in 1863. Whybro describes it as "an opulent and highly detailed dress, with an off-the-shoulder neckline and large floral motifs that dominated the design". Adorned with decorative lace depicting Scottish thistles, Irish shamrocks and English roses, plus a 21ft train that took eight women to carry, it was a particularly over-the-top gown.
Memorable royal wedding dresses through the ages
Sophie Rhys-Jones, June 19, 1999
Sophie Rhys-Jones' dress was a much simpler affair, when she married Prince Edward. However, Whybro says it echoes another royal gown from the past - Princess Margaret's. "Created from hand-dyed ivory silk organza and crepe, the dress featured minimal pearl and crystal beading around the neck and sleeves, with far less of a full skirt than previous royal gowns," she observes. "Rhys-Jones' gown had a more modern feel, with simple lines."
Memorable royal wedding dresses through the ages
Sarah Ferguson, July 23, 1986
Sarah Ferguson had the unenviable position of following Diana's wedding just five years later. "Sarah Ferguson's dress was always going to be compared to Diana's, and was understandably much less elaborate," says Whybro. "The gown was an ivory satin bodice with heavy beading, retaining some of the Eighties elements of Diana's dress in its puff sleeves, yet cut to a three-quarter length." Sure, not as elaborate as Diana's, but it still had a 17ft train.
Memorable royal wedding dresses through the ages
Princess Margaret, May 6, 1960
Princess Margaret's dress for her wedding to Lord Snowdon is often described as the simplest royal wedding gown in recent history. Whybro says: "Princess Margaret's dress was in stark contrast to her younger sister's, with the emphasis being on exquisite tailoring and beautiful fabrics. The gown was made from silk organza and featured much less detailing." Although simple, the dress still had a full skirt and was designed to show off the bride's petite frame.
Memorable royal wedding dresses through the ages
Princess Anne, November 14, 1973
Princess Anne married Mark Phillips in Westminster Abbey, with an estimated global audience of 500 million watching. "Princess Anne's 1973 wedding dress could not be more of the era, in terms of style and silhouette," says Whybro. "A Tudor-style high neck dress with medieval sleeves, this remarkably modern gown was sophisticated, simple and contemporary, while featuring detailing embroidery far removed from that seen on Princess Elizabeth's gown."
Memorable royal wedding dresses through the ages
Kate Middleton, April 29, 2011
As with Meghan, there were months of speculation as to who would design Kate's gown, in the run-up to her and Prince William's wedding day. In the end, the honour went to designer Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, who created an ivory dress with a classic silhouette, covered in delicate lace. Whybro says: "Changing wedding dress fashion for decades to come, in the same way Diana did, Kate's McQueen creation was a combination of tradition and modernity, with a classic shape evoking that of Victorian styling with its narrow waist and hip padding, long lace sleeves and a semi-bustle at the back. The floral motifs echoed Princess Diana's detailing and the full skirt with elegant train touched upon contemporary elements."
Memorable royal wedding dresses through the ages
Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, April 26, 1923
Long before becoming the Queen Mother, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon married the Duke of York (later King George VI) in a style that was classic for her 1920s wedding. Whybro contrasts her gown to Princess Alexandra's, saying: "Her dress had a much straighter skirt, created from deep ivory chiffon, moving away from stark white and embroidered with pearls. The gown is very Twenties in design, featuring short cap sleeves with strips of Brussels lace, making it contemporary yet elegant." It was a simple affair, heavily influenced by Coco Chanel.
Memorable royal wedding dresses through the ages
Princess Diana, July 29, 1981
For most people, chances are the words 'royal wedding' conjure the wedding of the century - when Lady Diana Spencer married Prince Charles. It's thought a whopping one billion tuned in worldwide to witness the fairy-tale event, and Whybro says: "Probably one of the most iconic wedding dresses of modern history, Princess Diana's extravagant ballgown-style dress featured ivory silk taffeta and antique lace, with an opulent 25ft train." The gown, she adds, "set wedding dress trends for years to come, with its large puffed sleeves, narrow waist & meringue style skirt". But having such a dramatic dress did come with its share of problems - too big for her glass carriage, Diana arrived at the ceremony slightly creased.
Let's face it – the frocks are often the star of the show. As Harry and Meghan's big day approaches, Prudence Wade leafs through the archives.
With royal wedding fever nearing boiling point, there's one question on everybody's lips: What will Meghan wear?
Will she choose an English designer to honour the country she's marrying into, or will she completely surprise us? Ever since Prince Harry popped the question, anticipation's been building.
This is nothing new, of course. It's been the same story for royal weddings throughout history – except fortunately, we now have social media and colour TV to ensure we can all see the big-day action unfold in real time.
Here, with the help of Karen Whybro, owner of designer bridal boutique Rock The Frock (rockthefrockbridal.co.uk), we take a look back at some of the most iconic and memorable royal wedding dresses through the decades, click the gallery above..

FBI video shows casino cash
BATON ROUGE, La. - Jurors in the Louisiana gambling license corruptio n case got a close look at what former Gov. Edwin W. Edwards apparently did with some of the $400,000 he allegedly received from then-San Francisco 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo in return for assurances that DeBartolo's company would be awarded a riverboat casino license.
In videotape presented by the prosecution Wednesday, a Baton Rouge politician is seen receiving a wad of cash. The person giving the cash cannot be seen in the videotape, but Edwards' voice is heard throughout the video.
"You need to make sure that everyone involved is careful about how that's passed out," Edwards is heard telling former Democratic congressman Cleo Fields, who had just run unsuccessfully for governor and said he had a $180,000 campaign debt.
Fields, who is now a state senator, lounged in a chair in Edwards' office, where a hidden video camera had been installed by the FBI and casually stuffed the envelope in his pocket, after first asking Edwards for a piece of paper to wrap it in.
The prosecution contends that the payoff to Fields - believed to be $25,000 - is part of the $400,000 in cash that DeBartolo paid Edwards on March 12 in San Francisco, allegedly for greasing the skids with the Louisiana Gaming Board for DeBartolo to win the state's 15th and last riverboat casino license.
On Wednesday, Fields told Baton Rouge TV stations he did nothing wrong, because he was a private citizen when he received the money.
Bank records introduced into evidence showed that someone had paid a visit to Edwards' safe deposit box not long before Fields visited Edwards' office.
Edwards, choosing his words carefully, conveyed the impression to Fields that he had not been paid
off by anyone but that he was giving him the money from his own funds.
Riverboat conspiracy
The 10-week-old racketeering trial of Edwards, his son Stephen and five associates involves an alleged conspiracy to manipulate the riverboat casino licensing process, with the elder Edwards masterminding the conspiracy.
In October 1998, DeBartolo, 53, who had run the 49ers for 22 years and built the franchise into one of the National Football League's finest, winning five Super Bowls, pleaded guilty to a charge of failing to report a felony - the alleged extortion by Edwards.
He was fined $250,000, put on probation for two years and agreed to testify against the former governor, an old family friend.
The National Football League fined DeBartolo $1 million and suspended him through 2000. In the meantime, he has lost control of the team to his sister Denise DeBartolo York.
DeBartolo has since moved from his Atherton home to Tampa, Fla.
Deputy U.S. Attorney James Letten said Wednesday the trial has moved slower than planned and that it now appears DeBartolo may not take the witness stand until Monday or Tuesday.
DeBartolo is a crucial witness for the prosecution, because he is the only one able to testify that he delivered cash to Edwards in exchange - he says - for Edwards' surreptitious help in delivering the license to the partnership composed of DeBartolo Entertainment and Hollywood Casinos Corp. of Texas.
Edwards says he did nothing wrong in accepting the money, because it was for legal services rendered after he was out of office.
When FBI agents seized $383,500 from Edwards' safe deposit box in April 1997, Edwards protested that it was from his gambling winnings, legal work and timber and cattle sales. Seven months later, he changed his story and acknowledged that the money came from DeBartolo.
Although Edwards insisted that his work for DeBartolo was on the up and up, a disclosure form signed
by DeBartolo in connection with the riverboat casino license application did not include Edwards' name, nor that of his son.
DeBartolo continued to do business with Edwards after receiving the casino license permit on March 13, 1997, because he had run into a political problem in Bossier City, where the riverboat was to be located, near the DeBartolo-owned racetrack Louisiana Downs.
DeBartolo enlisted Edwards' help in winning legislative approval of a constitutional amendment that he needed in order to make the casino operational - a move that fizzled when DeBartolo learned that he was the target of a federal grand jury investigation.
DeBartolo gave up his casino license in June 1997.
The FBI began tapping Edwards' home telephone in October 1996, and subsequently received court permission to tap the line at his law office as well.
More than 26,000 conversations were recorded, according to supervising FBI Agent Geoffrey Santini.
The prosecution has introduced 54 tape recordings of Edwards, DeBartolo and other key figures in the investigation, with Santini providing running commentary on their comments.
In one jaw-dropping piece of testimony, Santini admitted he was wrong in suspecting Shreveport school principal and Louisiana Gaming Control Board member Ecotry Fuller of being a participant in a scheme to get $250,000, plus a job for his daughter, out of the DeBartolo riverboat licensing action.
In fact, Santini acknowledged, his suspicions - conveyed to the court in an affidavit - were groundless. Fuller's daughter, a Texas pharmacist, didn't need a job, he said.
Santini's admission, based on what he said was a false assumption, may weaken the case against Fuller, who has been charged as a member of the racketeering conspiracy for allegedly furnishing a confidential summary of the Gaming Board's analysis of the bidders for the riverboat casino license.
Mary Olive Pierson, the attorney for state Sen. Greg Tarver,
D-Shreveport, who is suspected of giving the report to Edwards, who in turn mailed it to DeBartolo, chastised the prosecution and Santini for gross mischaracterization of the investigation. Tarver's defense is that he was just doing his job as a politician to bring business to the Shreveport area.
Even though he was out of office when DeBartolo began pursuing the riverboat casino license, Edwards still had friends in key places who were willing to tell him which way the wind was blowing.
Among them was his former financial director Ralph Pearlman, whom Edwards had named to the gaming board. In a taped phone call, Pearlman is heard assuring Edwards that the DeBartolo application looked good.
"You should be encouraged, but it won't be easy," he said five days before the vote was taken.
The gaming board's own rules prohibit discussion on pending license issues with outside interests. "I'm gonna do what I think is right. I'm gonna do what I think is best for the community - that ought to give you a hint," Pearlman told Edwards.
Louisiana gambling officials, untainted by the scandal, have said the DeBartolo application for the casino license was far and away the best and would have won on its merits even if Edwards hadn't interfered. <

Jonathan Klein: Photos that changed the world. In my industry,we believe that images can change the world.Okay, we're naive, we're bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.The truth is that we know that theimages themselves don't change the world,but we're also aware that, since the beginning of photography,images have provoked reactions in people,and those reactions have caused change to happen.
So let's begin with a group of images.I'd be extremely surprisedif you didn't recognize many or most of them.They're best described as iconic:so iconic, perhaps, they're cliches.In fact, they're so well-knownthat you might even recognize themin a slightly or somewhat different form. (Laughter) Well, I think what is far worseis man's destructive power over man.Samuel Pisar, an Auschwitz survivor, said,and I'll quote him,"The Holocaust teaches us that nature,even in its cruelest moments,is benign in comparison with man,when he loses his moral compass and his reason.
" And thank you to all the photographers. (Applause) Wrap text inside a shape - Publisher. You can place text inside a shape in Publisher. The text will retain its rectangular text box shape.

Michael's first roadblock came in the fall of first grade.
He had performed poorly on his MAP reading test and when I asked his teacher what Michael should focus on at home, she answered "sight words. " I immediately went to the store and purchased the traditional box of Dolche sight word flashcards (pictured above). I was energized, motivated and confident we would conquer these sight words in no time and have his reading up to grade level. We began working the flashcards a few at a time. The first day, Michael knew 4 words within 5 minutes. I am not one to give up so that night I scoured the internet searching for a tool that could help us. Keep in mind this is not a cure-all, end-all tool. I thought it was worth a try so I ordered their sight word flashcards. Within a month, Michael jumped from reading level C books to reading level F books. Tagxedo - Word Cloud with Styles. Dancing With Dragons: Teaching the Visual Spatial Learner: When Your Child Thinks in Pictures.
Visual-spatial learner. Whole-to-parts learner. FRUSTRATING. All fabulous synonyms. ;) Do any of these situations sound familiar? Douglas can figure out complex geometric ideas in his head, but struggles to remember 6+2. Kathy can spend hours every day building complex structures out of Legos, but can't spell "Lego." Leila knows every species of frog by name and can tell you various characteristics from memory. Marcus can read very well and explain what he reads. Mya has been working on subtraction for a year and still gets upset when given 10-8.
Connor writes amazing inventive stories with interesting plots and rich characters. Dee spends hours outside catching bugs, waiting for spiders to emerge and catching dragonflies by their tails. Welcome to life with a VSL. I Think in Pictures, You Teach in Words. My introduction to visual spatial learning was a walk around the Melbourne zoo with Linda Silverman many years ago when she handed me an article she'd written and said "Here, you may be interested in this".
Three months later I saw my first gifted visual spatial learner and I learned a lot from him. Since then I have worked and studied with Linda in Denver and have seen over 400 such children and adults. Gifted visual spatial learners keep coming to see me and I am still learning. Dr Linda Silverman, the pioneer of the Visual Spatial Learner concept identifies two types of gifted visual spatial learners. The first is children identified as gifted who score extremely high on an IQ test because of their great ability both with tasks using visual spatial processing and those requiring auditory sequential thinking processes.
This paper will concentrate on the second type of gifted visual spatial learner who is ? The visual spatial style appears to be hereditary. Identification Is distractible. Text - How can I arrange words into a shape to make a "word cloud" design?

About life, love, time and god
Since ever had existed, exists and will exist the question: "Is the life a bless or a curse?". We usually answer "…it's a bless".
However, when wesuffer a lost or something really terrible happens to us we feel miserable and this question starts to roam on our mind.
To me, it's just not fair to say it's a curse, but neither is saying it'sa bless. The life goes further, the life is a challenge. A challenge we face and confront since we born, and only ends when we die.
"The life is one and only", a challenge and, as longas we keep alive, an infinite war where is posible to win, lose and teach. Sometimes we wish it ended but when we imagine the end, the death itself, our legs tremble.
In life, the most extremefeeling is, with no doubt, the love. There are no rules in it. We could try guiding by a manual, try to control the heart, have a behave strategy, but all this is foolish. Who decides is the heart, andwhatever it decides is what matters.
At some point in our lives, alls had said between tears: "i'm suffering for a love that not worths this sorrow". Alls had felt that, we suffer because wediscover that we give more than what we receive. We suffer because our love is not recognized. We suffer because we can't input our rules.
We suffer with intensity, because from love depends ourdevelopment as human beings. The love is the escence of life, the more we love, the more we get close to the spiritual greatness. The souls in contact with it know that the true love means an act of totaldevotion, act that most of us don't understand neither do and is the reason for wich this world is falling down.
Since we are kids we are taught that: "life and love passes, the days form weeks,the weeks months and the months years".
We also are taught that days are formed by hours, hours by minutes, minutes by seconds and so on. We live, thus, in the time, while time passes our lives...

We arrived at Uncle Jim's place in Bend the Friday evening before Christmas. He had a small tree, but still pretty big for Vroni.
Finally, we ushered in 2018, which is off to a running start.

What's on my iPad/iPhone: Listening to White Silence by Jodi Taylor. Still nothing on the Kindle app.

Thanks, Barbara. I'll still be "here," even after we move.
I think it looks like you had a great time! And, Happy Birthday!Somehow I missed the part involving you moving.
Looks like a wonderful Christmas, and birthday. Time goes by too quickly when you have family.
Our grands need a lot of structure, so they don't get away with much. Soren is a special needs child and Johan is hyperactive, taking after our son. I admire the parents' patience! Cats...you pretty much have to adjust to them.
LOL I hear what your saying about kids being a handful today. My two boys were thirteen and a half months apart but they didn't get away with the things kids do today. I notice today kids are allowed to do anything they want to. I agree that dolls are much easier to take care of. My cat? Well he fits in with the kids today. lol
Irene, you're right on all counts, but the boys are also a handful. I don't know how mothers survive two so close to the same age. Dolls don't behave that way.
Looks like a fun time for all!
Lovely post Peggy. How nice for the brothers to get together for the holiday. It was nice your hubby was on hand to help your son install that beautiful new microwave. I'm glad you and hubby had a safe trip and it looks like the pups had a good time as well. Beautiful church. Looks inviting. And the grand kids are adorable.
LOL! She will need help from her friends. She can't reach the pedals.

Board edgy over building tax hike
Board edgy over building tax hike
By JILL DENNING GACKLE
There was a minor case of cold feet at a recent Garrison School Board meeting.
Board member Steve Seidler asked, "Is the community ready for a $5 million, $10 million bond issue?" Seidler asked the question when board members discussed the preliminary plans to add to and remodel the two schools.
Seidler said he spoke to McLean County Auditor Les Korgel and learned that a $5 million bond issue over 20 years could add about $100 a year to a house valued at $100,000. He said a 25-30 mill increase would mean about $55 a year on a quarter of farm land valued at about $50,000.
Seidler, who has publicly expressed enthusiasm for the project, said, "Five million dollars is a large sum of money and $100 a year is a large sum of money."
He suggested that the board nail down estimated costs on proposed remodeling and addition plans to the two schools as soon as possible.
"We need to let the public know what it is going to cost them," he said.
He suggested the board invite Korgel to a future meeting to explain bond issues, mill levies and how the bonding process works. He said Korgel told him the county hoped to be able to build a new courthouse without additional property taxes, which the board members agreed would help them on this proposed school project.
Other board members seemed to understand Seidler's concerns.
Karla Scheresky, board member, said, "That was the first question that was asked of me: how much will it cost me?"
Bonnie Nygard said education of the public will be critical.

Okay, Guylty issued this awesome new challenge last week and most of the participating bloggers have been posting daily and I swear I intended to do that but then I didn't and now I'm cheating by answering all the questions at once. Yes, this is going to be long because there are fifteen questions so make a snack or something, I'll wait. Ready?
If you haven't run into this before, this is what Guylty came up with. I know she intended introspection but I'm not planning on going too deep here because, well, have ya met me?
1. What made you start blogging? Encouragement from Judiang and pi mostly. Oh, and Servetus because she had to Google Soundgarden and I decided that was wrong. It started out as a music and general goofiness blog.
2. The significance of your blog's name? I am funky, my favorite color is blue, and the original blog layout had a graphic of dandelions blowing in the wind, which reminded me of Bloom County.
3. What's your (usual) blogging process? I start snickering about something and then start writing in my head. When I have a paragraph or two I write it down. Sometimes I publish it and sometimes I don't.
4. What's your favorite post? Um…I think it's still the Magic 8 Ball one, Signs Point To Oh Hell No
5. Which post got the most views? The Many Loves of Lucas — What Were The Writers Thinking?
6. Which post continues to give? A Moron In A Tizzy, which I wrote about Joan Jett in late fall 2013. It sat unread and uncommented upon because, well, it wasn't about RA. A week or so later something happened that really threw me. While I was dealing with the emotional fallout from that thing, an anonymous commenter left a very kind note on my Jett post. I don't know what moved that commenter to encourage me at that moment but I needed it more than I can express. Anonymous, if you're reading this, thank you. You have no idea what those few words meant to me right then.
7. Which post has the most comments? Not sure and don't feel like looking.
8. Which post was the most difficult to write? In My Life, which is about the way my grief for my mother has changed over the years.
9. Which post do you regret writing? At this moment, none of them. Some are definitely crap but I at least learned something from each one.
10. What do you find most difficult or challenging about blogging? Self-doubt, same as with other writing.
11. Your favorite aspect of blogging? Not the pay, for sure. 🙂 Um, just hanging out with you all mostly.
12. How — if at all — has blogging changed your life? It's given me a place to put all of those ridiculous bits of trivia that have been rattling around my pea brain.
13. What have you learned from blogging? That I remember more about The Chicago Manual of Style than I thought I did.
14. Any plans for your blogging future? Write more stuff. Be funny sometimes.
15. Any blogging role models? I don't know if I'd say role model. I learn from everybody I read, though, so everyone? Everyone is good.
Okay, so, on that note, I'm spinning some Bangles. You all have a great night.

National Epilepsy Week - volunteer speaks out
Epilepsy Society volunteer Moira Copeland's life hasn't always been easy. Developing epilepsy aged 13, she's experienced bullying, abuse and prejudice. Now older and wiser she is happy to share her experience of epilepsy and urges others to do the same to raise awareness of this often hidden condition.
Together with people from all over the UK, Moira has joined forces to appear on an Epilepsy Society video, poster and magnetic card to mark National Epilepsy Week (May 19 -25) which can be viewed at our youTube channel.
Amanda Cleaver, Epilepsy Society's communications and campaigns manager, said; 'We have had so many people sending in their photographs for our "many faces of epilepsy" project - it's been quite overwhelming! We're really pleased with the video made up of a compilation of their faces
and hope people will use it to raise awareness and educate others about epilepsy.'
Moira lives in Newcastle and helps man Epilepsy Society's information point at her local hospital. You can listen to her story here.

The Second Colorway of Nike's Self-Lacing Adapt BB Drops Today
Brand: Nike
Model: Adapt BB
Key Features: A Flyknit shroud covers the upper and auto-lacing system for breathability and flexibility. A padded tongue and flexible collar provide easy entry, while the external heel counter keeps you locked in. The midsole is made using Nike Cushlon foam. An oversized Swoosh and two light-up buttons on the lateral side of the midsole complete the look.
Release Date: April 19
Price: $350
Buy: Nike and select retailers such as Dick's Sporting Goods (Cerritos LA and Lombard Chicago)
Editor's Notes: The first Nike Adapt BB was launched in February, and now Nike is adding a second colorway on April 19. The "Dark Grey/Multi Color" Adapt BB features a dark gray, almost silver upper with hits of red on the inside of the tongue tag and a translucent gray outsole.
Highsnobiety tested the Adapt BB before release and reported a generally impressive experience. There were, however, some issues when the sneaker came out. Some users reported problems connecting or reconnecting the app with the sneaker after disconnecting Bluetooth. There have been no other reports since then and, with firmware updates possible, this new release should prove whether Nike has been able to fix those early issues.
Check out the official product shots above and watch for the Nike Adapt BB in dark gray to drop on April 19.
For a deeper look, watch the video below.

From a Playstation perspective 2012 yielded few gaming accomplishments, with sparse quality content, 2012 was a lesson in mediocrity. But 2013 is already shaping up to be an exceptional, and possibly penultimate year for this generation of consoles. DMC attempting to obtain lost credibility, Aliens: Colonial Marines eventual release (maybe), Bioshock: Infinity dealing with its staff departures and potentially attenuating, internal strive to release a third in the series that suitably satisfies expectations, as well as Quantic Dream continuing further defining work, that follows the success of the accomplished detective drama, Heavy Rain, with the deeply inquisitive IP Beyond Two Souls, where the manipulation of the physicality of the natural world, clashing with engaging consequences with the supernatural entity, which compliments one another intriguingly. The Last Of Us, GTA V, Castlevania, Metal Gear Rising, it's an exhilarating time for our respective, potentially omitted consoles, but conversely an impediment to my financial stability. But 2012 also highlighted that though gaming is still financially sustainable, often reasonably lucrative industry, it's far from recession proof.
The durability of the industry has hardly been called into disrepute, but with the collapse of both HMV and now Blockbuster joining the rather congested list of high-profile casualties, it's the availability of console games that perforate my considerable concern. We are becoming solely dependant on the internet to provide gaming satisfaction, and with independent as well as fully established brands going into administration, our dependency on virally accessible gaming is becoming substantially increased, and materialistic copies are becoming an escalating liability. I personally like to embark into the delicate world outside and purchase my titles with a minimum of human interaction, but assured in my possession, because its real, I can touch or caress the smooth contours of the plastic that securely shields my game from harm (if your into that kind of thing), but without access to a tangible establishment, I'm wholly inclined to entrust my purchases to some ambiguous presence and hope that the postman delivers to the appropriate address, at a desired, specified time without practicing his/her frisbee skills or to satisfy that persistent irritating itch, centered on the left buttock, with my package!
I'm hardly opposed the intermittent accumulation of games via the internet, especially considering my penchant curiosity to obtain almost every PS3 game ever conceived, but I like to know I have alternate means for acquiring games. It's a sensitive but never the less evocative situation, one that can be attributed to various causes and have damaging repercussions for us all. The future of gaming as well as retail entertainment industry as a collective, is as assured as my Grandfathers vertical ascent from the sofa after a bottle of whisky; faltering, tentative and increasingly unstable, but a strong resolution to defy muscular dystrophy, and proudly stride to the toilet with ambitious intent to vomit (well there's a twisted analogy in there somewhere). But the labouring fiscal ascension that has crippled the economic world has still sadly not alluded many of us, causing many proprietors to terminate business. Though I'm confidant that companies such as Rockstar will have little to fear from closures, with GTA V likely shift more copies than secretly attained footage of Scarlett Johansson embraced in intimately, provocative persuasions with Sasquatch, but gamers who have limited or no internet resources could soon be missing out.
How often do you buy games from stores? And is it becoming harder to do? Let me know your thoughts.

Radioactive was a heavyweight robot which competed in the first season of ABC's BattleBots reboot. It was built by Team Make Robotics, a British team most well-known for their Robot Wars entry Behemoth. Radioactive was designed to look like the trefoil symbol for radiation, and featured an overhead swinging axe, plus adjustable drive pods that acted as a clamp. It performed well, although it was mostly built out of plastic, which made it especially vulnerable against Tombstone.
Robot History Edit
In its first battle, Radioactive was drawn against the all-girls team of Sweet Revenge. However, Sweet Revenge suffered from technical issues, leaving it with no weapon and little mobility. This allowed Radioactive to hit Sweet Revenge with its axe several times. After this, however, Radioactive begun to lose mobility, and started to move very slowly, also losing power to the weapon. According to the team, Radioactive finished the battle immobilised. The time ran out, and Radioactive won on a unanimous 3-0 judge's decision, despite being unable to move at the end, as it had earned more damage and aggression points with its initial attacks.
In the round of 16, Radioactive was given the lowest seeding possible, No. 16, despite arguably outperforming robots such as Chomp in the first round. This meant that Radioactive would be drawn against the top seed, Tombstone. Radioactive attempted to play a defensive match, by applying extra plastic to the robot, and stabilizing its adjustable drive pods. At the start of the match, Radioactive mostly spun on the spot, while Tombstone taunted it by driving around without using its weapon. As soon as Tombstone started to use its weapon on Radioactive, major damage was sustained, and Radioactive was quickly knocked out at 1:09. Later, the Radioactive team signed a piece of their robot broken off by Tombstone and gave it to Hardcore Robotics.

The Email that Scorched My Inbox
Like most of us, I've received my share of hate mail.
But I don't share it here on my blog, because it's usually directed against single mothers in general. I know that I can deal with it, but my readers don't deserve to have their feelings hurt, so the flamers usually go right into the trash.
But today's hate missive was directed to me and me alone, so without further ado, here it is, copied in all its glory!
Subject line:
Here is what I think of your blog as a woman
Body of email:
you're an utter disgrace to all of the women in this whole country. This is the top 10 things you are.
- not a strong woman
- a mom whose son will be embarrased someday by by what you write about him on the internet for money. He is young now but he will grow to hate that you put his life out there over the internet for anyone to read about him. And thanks to you he probably won't ever try and have a relationship with his dad
- vindictive
- not a strong woman
- not a strong mother
- someone who sounds like an idiot on every video you post…they are amacher and you sound lost, illiterate, and stupid. Your son who thinks he's funny pickig his nose but it's actually disgusting. You obviously have failed in teaching him his manners which contributes to his rebellion against you. He is rebellious. So are you.
- a prideful woman who perpeutates only hardships and disgrace towards women. I am a feminist, and all I see you doing is contributing towards the factors that make women weak.
- selfish. You have earnings from this blog, but you only shair stories of loss, pain and hardship for the readers of the gender of a woman.
- egotistical. (not sure why?)
- stupid. And a disgrace to women everywhere. Of this country.
I'll add a bonus one,
- THE STEREOTYPICAL HURT WOMEN (who can't grow passed it or learn from it or get over it). MOVE AND ON ALREADY AND STOP PLAYING THE VICTIM. BE A ROLL MODEL FOR WOMEN IN THIS COUNTRY!!!!
Oh, I'm so happy that I get to share my response with you all!
- Okay.
- If Liam ever asks me not to write about him anymore, I'll stop. Immediately. But it won't even matter by then, because by then this blog will look like it belongs in a museum.
Also, I make about $25 a week on this blog (if it's a good week). If I was doing this for the money, I would have given up after the first year, when I didn't earn even a dime. I share my thoughts and write my story here because if I can help even one person – just one – avoid the mistakes I made in my past, it's worth it. If I'm able to inspire even one person to enjoy every moment, then I've accomplished something worthwhile.
- Wait. To you?
- Um, oka-a-ay… Should we settle this out back?
- See #4.
- I find it funny that you think a 3-year-old kid picking his nose is disgusting. Your children must be great fun. And we're rebels? Yeah, I've been thinking about talking to Liam about all that. He's been so rebellious with the nose-picking lately. Maybe that's because I let him drive us home that day last week while I watched Robin Hood on my iPad. Ugh, such rebels. Now that you mention it, he and I are making plans to start a revolution. About public nose-picking. There, shot fired. I just started it.
- You need to look up what "perpetuate" means (and how to spell it), because that one doesn't make any sense at all.
- See #2.
- That hurt. (not sure why?)
- Seriously, that one did hurt. Now you're just trying to make me angry.
Added bonus.
- I don't recall that I ever called myself a victim. If I did, please show me when. The only way I can think of that I'm victim it's due to my poor choices in men. I blame only myself for the decision I made to choose my ex-husband. But if I had to do it again to land where I am, with my son, I would.
My bonus:
- You need to find a more constructive way to spend your time… You should start blogging.
No, learn how to spell first.

WARRINGTON South MP Faisal Rashid challenged Prime Minister Teresa May during the statement in the House of Commons on her draft Brexit deal.
During the debate, many MPs criticised the deal, slamming the Prime Minister for negotiating a worse deal than our existing deal with the European Union.
Throughout the day the Prime Minister was plagued with resignations, as it became increasingly clear there is no support from the majority of MPs for this deal to be passed.
Speaking after the Prime Minister's statement, Mr Rashid said: "Over the past two days it has become clear that the Government has failed to achieve a Brexit deal that delivers for working people in this country.
"I have said from the start that I would judge the Prime Minister's deal once all the plans had been fully revealed. Having now seen the deal, I am disappointed that we have been presented with what is clearly the result of a miserable failure of negotiations.
"Only 7 out of the 585 pages of text that make up the draft agreement focus on the UK's future with the EU. The deal does not include a permanent Customs Union, it fails to protect manufacturing, offers no firm protections for services and fails to protect workers' rights and the environment.
"What is increasingly clear is that the deal we are being offered will leave us in a worse situation than we are currently in. This deal is bad for the United Kingdom, and it is bad for Warrington.
"Whilst I respect the result of the Referendum in 2016, the deal that has been presented to us is not one that anyone voted for – regardless of whether they voted to Leave or Remain.
"I understand that individuals across Warrington South are deeply divided on what our future partnership with the EU should look like. But this deal will have catastrophic consequences for the lives of the people I represent, and therefore it is not a deal that I can support.
"This is an incredibly difficult time, and there are many difficult decisions to be made.
"As the Member of Parliament for Warrington South, I will do my best to make the right decisions for my constituents, and for the country – with the information that is available to me."
You can watch Faisal's question to the Prime Minister below.

The computer systems that manage the Rockies' online ticket sales for the World
Series, run by Irvine, Calif.-based Paciolan, crashed after a huge initial surge
-- 8.5 million hits in the first 90 minutes. They sold several hundred tickets
before they had to shut down. Paciolan and Rockies reps expected to have the
ticket sales site back up by Tuesday afternoon.
This is a big deal, because the only way to get tickets for World Series games
at Coors Field will be online, which the Rockies' management feels is the fairest
method of distributing the 20,000 or so tickets up for grabs (the other 30,000
seats are for season ticket holders and the teams). Those who don't have access
or quick enough connection weren't about to be denied. There was reportedly
a small crowd of people lined up outside the Denver Public Library in the freezing
pre-dawn waiting to use the library's computers to nail down tickets. You've
got to admire that level of fanaticism.
Is the system crash a harbinger of their decline? Do you think it was really
a systematic, malicious attack or just hordes of crazed baseballs fans trying
to score a ticket? How does your organization handle spikes in Web traffic?

Microsoft Takes RIM Shot
Earlier this week, Microsoft announced software that lets you use
Windows to manage mobile phones as if they were desktops. System Center
Mobile Device Manager 2008 lets you deploy applications to phones, control security
settings and carefully manage these notoriously tricky mobile devices. Microsoft's
CEO Steve Ballmer made the announcement at the CTIA wireless exposition going
on this week in San Francisco.
This is a direct shot at the market currently dominated by Research In Motion
(RIM), makers of the insanely popular BlackBerry device and software. Part of
Microsoft's goal for this fiscal year is to sell more than 20 million licenses
to its Windows Mobile operating system. There will be new phones that support
SCMD Manager 2008 coming out early next year from Palm, Motorola and others.
For its part, RIM has been incessantly boosting what the BlackBerry can do
beyond simple voice and text messaging and e-mail. The mobile landscape is shaping
up as the next big battleground.
Do you use Windows Mobile? Do you use a BlackBerry? How will you reconcile
using both once it becomes more feasible? What's your mobile strategy overall?
Catch up with me and let me know at [email protected].
One in Six Computers Infected
That's the grim
word from Derby, England-based malware researcher Prevx. That stat is based
on checks made for active spyware and malware on nearly 300,000 desktop systems
over the last 30 days.
Of the 290,647 PCs scanned with Prevx's Computer Security Investigator tool,
45,251 (or 15.6 percent) had an active infection with one or more instances
of spyware or other malware. The results of this recent widespread system check,
published earlier this week, also revealed that 59.5 percent of businesses running
the CSI tool discovered at least one infected PC within their network.
It seems like there's always some new threat against which we have to defend
ourselves. How often do you check your systems, and how? What's the general
status of your network security? Check in with me at [email protected].
Vermont Gets Cyber-Crime Funding
The state of Vermont is getting some help from the feds to fight computer crime
– specifically, crimes targeting children. According to the U.S. Attorney's
Office, the state's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force will receive
a $250,000 grant from the federal Justice Department.
The task force was formed to address increasing Internet use by children and
teenagers, and the extent to which child predators use the Internet to conduct
their crimes. The multi-agency Vermont task force is charged with public education,
law enforcement training and prosecution. The group plans to use the grant to
continue its effort and fund a new computer forensic lab. Good news for kids
and parents, bad news for the bad guys.
Do you think this type of anti-crime funding should be a federal or state-level
responsibility? Do you think law enforcement is doing enough to protect kids?
What safeguards do you use at home? Let me know at [email protected].

Is Clem OK?
Telltale Games' The Walking Dead Season Two is drawing to a close, and you have to wonder whether Clementine's going to survive this one. We're about to find out, as the penultimate episode, Amid The Ruins, is due next week.
Exactly when next week will depend on your device of choice. Those of you on iOS - like me - get it on the 24th. The Vita, PC, Mac, and PS3 version comes to the US on the 22nd, while those in Europe have to wait till the 23rd for their fix on PS3 and Vita. The North America Xbox 360 version is also due on the 23rd. No word on the Android version.
"Hunger, violence and death have taken their toll," says Telltale. "Simmering conflicts and inevitable changes within the group remind Clementine that danger can come from within, as well as without." So who will she stick with, and who will she abandon?
