[private]Ryan Kelly has decided that he wants to play his college basketball for Coach Mike Krzyzewski and the Duke Blue Devils. Kelly is a 6-9, 210 forward who plays his high school basketball for Raleigh Ravenscroft, under former Duke player, Kevin Billerman.
Kelly took his time with the process, making visits with all of the teams on his final list while analyzing his ability to fit in and be comfortable. Kelly chose Duke over Georgetown, rival North Carolina, Notre Dame, Virginia and Wake Forest.
"From the beginning, my family made it clear to me that this was going to be my decision. To that end, after gathering a great deal of information, thinking through things clearly, I am ready to announce with confidence that I will look forward to attending Duke University," said Kelly.
Kelly went to the ESPNU Studios in Charlotte, North Carolina today to announce his decision on the Recruiting Insider.
"Although I have enjoyed meeting so many terrific coaches and players at each of the schools I have considered, I am ready to move forward and focus all my efforts on finishing out my senior year at Ravenscroft," said Kelly.
During his junior campaign at Ravenscroft, Kelly averaged 23.4 PPG and 8.7 RPG to go with 4.0 blocks. He played for Team USA U-18 team which won the silver medal this past summer and he started most of the games. Kelly also played his AAU basketball for D-One Sports where he was teammates with one of the nations top uncommitted prospects, John Wall. Kelly was also invited to the NBA Top 100 Camp last July.
Kelly fits the mold of past Duke big men like Danny Ferry in that he has the ability to go inside and out. The Blue Devil Nation saw several of Kelly's games over the past two summers and he consistently improved his game during that time. Kelly is the 12th rated player in his class according to ESPN Scouts Inc.
The strength of his game is his face up offense, where he is a very capable perimeter shooter. His ability to draw his man out will likely loosen traffic in the paint in college. Kelly has a cool demeanor on the court, never getting too high or low during contests. He has a drop back fade in close making it difficult for opponents to defend him. Kelly is also a very good ball handler for a big man and if described on one word, "versatile" would fit.
Kelly will have to work on his strength and his ability to be a force in the paint, but that should come with natural maturity. Kelly joins Mason Plumlee as the second player in the Blue Devils class of 2009. You can look forward to the match ups between their opposing schools Ravenscroft and Christ School of Arden the defending state champions.
Kelly has some basketball lineage in the family, where his Dad, Chris played his career at Yale. His family is big on education as well. In fact, Kellys Mom, Doreen is the head of his high school. Kelly is slated to attend next weekends Blue-White game where other Duke commitments will join him.
Coach Krzyzewski continues to reap the benefits of leading Team USA to the Gold Medal in Beijeng, China. Duke will now focus on Kenny Boynton, a scoring machine from South Florida.

The Year in Intelligence
And the most important national security story you missed in 2012.
2012 was a strange year for spy agencies. Between the government's secret drone program, David Petraeus's sex scandal, and a new Mao-suited, Disney-loving, nuclear saber-rattling North Korean dictator, intelligence news often seemed like it was right out of a Hollywood script. Meanwhile, film glitterati were busy insisting that "Argo" and "Zero Dark Thirty" hewed to historical reality. Except for those made-up parts -- like Argo's dramatic escape from Iran (not so dramatic in real life) and ZD30's misleading torture scenes suggesting the CIA's harshest interrogation methods led straight to bin Laden when they didn't. (I guess when director Kathryn Bigelow boasted that, "What we were attempting is almost a journalistic approach to film," she had a very creative view of journalism or a very heavy reliance on the word "almost").

Meanwhile, film glitterati were busy insisting that "Argo" and "Zero Dark Thirty" hewed to historical reality. Except for those made-up parts — like Argo's dramatic escape from Iran (not so dramatic in real life) and ZD30's misleading torture scenes suggesting the CIA's harshest interrogation methods led straight to bin Laden when they didn't. (I guess when director Kathryn Bigelow boasted that, "What we were attempting is almost a journalistic approach to film," she had a very creative view of journalism or a very heavy reliance on the word "almost").
Below I've listed my picks for the top five most important intelligence stories of the year. I am also giving honorable mention to the most important national security speech that you probably didn't hear or read but should.
1. Cyber fail. Despite an ominous warning from Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta that the United States faces a "cyber Pearl Harbor," Congress failed to pass cyber security legislation protecting America's critical infrastructure. As Senators Susan Collins and Joseph Lieberman wrote in a December New York Times op-ed, a cyber attack "is not a matter of if, but when." Digital networks, from banks to dams to electrical grids to defense contractors and Internet behemoths like Google, are being hacked daily by a rogue's gallery of bad actors — including individuals, criminal gangs, and nations like Russia, China, and possibly Iran. Roughly 80 percent of America's critical infrastructure is privately owned and still frighteningly vulnerable. Why? Because the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other business leaders lobbied aggressively against even the watered down, voluntary cyber security measures proposed in the Collins/Lieberman bill.
2. Year of the drones. You know something has gone global when Libyan rebels can order one off the Internet and kids can make their own out of Legos. It seemed like every week this year, a drone strike was taking out al Qaeda's #3. Two key longer-term trends also emerged in 2012. The first was the Pentagon's massive expansion of drone bases around the world. The second was the Obama administration's halting first steps toward codifying its targeted killing policy. Together, both trends suggest that drones have moved from an interim band-aid fix to a permanent fixture in the U.S. national security arsenal. Refining the legal and policy architecture for lethal drone strikes (when, where, and how should the CIA vs. the military be in charge?) will be a major issue in the year ahead. So too will debates about domestic drone uses and international norms for targeted killing as the proliferation of drone technology accelerates.
3. Torture debate redux: Just when you thought those Abu Ghraib photos and waterboarding discussions were history, "Zero Dark Thirty" and a much lesser known, 6,000-page classified Senate report have reignited the torture debate. Most interrogation experts have long argued that torture does not work. And while social scientists cannot conduct torture experiments in a lab, related research on sleep deprivation finds that subjects are less able to think clearly and divulge accurate information even if they want to when denied sleep. Yet polling shows that Americans are decidedly more pro-torture now than they were in the Bush administration. Spy-themed entertainment appears to be the reason why. My August 2012 national poll (which surveyed a representative sample of 1,000 Americans) found that spy TV show and movie watchers are significantly more likely to approve of assassinating terrorists, waterboarding them, chaining them naked in uncomfortable positions, and transferring them to countries known to use torture than people who haven't watched fictional spies vowing to do "whatever it takes."
4. Petraeus's fall. The headlines were all about the former CIA director's extramarital affair with his fit and fawning biographer, Paula Broadwell. But the real story here is about the militarization of intelligence and the dangers of assuming that generals can run anything. Petraeus was never a good fit for leading CIA. He was a general used to giving orders in an agency that valued questioning and dissent. He came from the Army, which trains people to fight, and went to the Agency, which trains people to learn. He cultivated celebrity in a CIA culture that prizes secrecy above all. The CIA's yet-to-be-named next director comes at a pivotal moment: the agency has become more focused on killing and less focused on old fashioned human intelligence collection and analysis than it has in decades.
5. DOD's spy grab and congressional smackdown. Late last year, word leaked to the Washington Post that the Pentagon was planning a huge expansion of the Defense Intelligence Agency's clandestine service. But Congress stopped the madness and quickly put the kibosh on this turf grab, noting that the Defense Intelligence Agency was notoriously bad at training and managing the spies it already had — so bad in fact, that two former defense secretaries had recommended transferring recruitment and management of DOD's spooks to the CIA. Stay tuned. The Pentagon is designed to take and deny territory. Beltway bureaucratic turf is no exception.
Honorable Mention: The most important national security speech of 2012 you probably never heard of.
On November 30, outgoing Defense Department General Counsel Jeh Johnson delivered a provocative speech to the Oxford Union pondering how the war against al Qaeda and its associated forces will end. At its core, Johnson's speech was a plea to resist treating the post-9/11 counterterrorism war footing as the "new normal." War, he says, "must be regarded as a finite, extraordinary and unnatural state of affairs." Some day (presumably not far off), Johnson says the United States will reach a "tipping point" when so many al Qaeda and affiliate leaders have been captured or killed that the organization can no longer launch a "strategic attack against the United States." I don't know what strategic attack means other than something big and scary. (Does a cyber attack that kills nobody directly but cripples the U.S. economy count? What about foiled or failed plots? And isn't the crux of the terrorist problem that small bands of enemies can wield enormous destruction with little warning, making strategic attacks always possible?) Whatever it means, Johnson thinks strategic attack capacity is the key standard. When al Qaeda lacks it, it can be considered "effectively destroyed," our military approach to terrorism should end, and we will have to confront the fate of terrorist detainees being held without criminal convictions.
These are strong, if ironic, words from someone who helped forge "the new normal" counterterrorism legal policies in the Obama Pentagon. What Johnson said, why he said it, whether he was right, and why on earth he said it at Oxford instead of at home will be grist for counterterrorism policy wonks for years to come.

So you're a nail-biter. Yeah, me too. I've been biting my nails for as long as I can remember. Despite my social butterfly exterior, on the interior, I'm quite the nervous nellie. How I became this way I do not know, but what I do know is, I cope with this nervousness by nail-biting.
I was bad when it came to this. I would bite, pick and peel them. When I drew blood I vowed to stop but it wouldn't last long. I was embarrassed by my hands, always hiding them. But it took one chance event that would change my nail-biting urge forever….ok, for the last 30 plus days.
How did I overcome my urge for nail-biting, and how can these tips help you?
I got a mani
This is how it started. I found myself in a pickle last month as I needed to get some professional photos taken of me for business purposes. The photographer told me, "Val get your nails done because your nails now are not gonna cut it." So I took my ass to a neighborhood spot over on Myrtle Ave in Brooklyn and got a mani.
While I wasn't feeling my mani at all that didn't stop something from triggering in me to decide from that moment on I would STOP biting my nails.
Listen, I've been making this same pledge for about 30 years and I only managed it once for my wedding in 2008. Sadly my newly grown nails wouldn't see my honeymoon as I clipped them off before the end of the night.
So why the sudden change now? For one, I overall liked the way my hands looked. I had grown woman hands and it completed the look of my hand with my wedding ring. Secondly, after two weeks with the silk wraps, I was able to overcome the feeling that comes along with having nails. It's a weightiness and the ability to feel the nail on the tips of my fingers. It's this feeling (along with that nervous inner voice) which causes me to peel and clip my nails. But because I had spent money to get my nails done I was less inclined to pick at them, although I did Google 'how to remove silk wraps'.
But I stayed the course and kept them for a full two weeks, and removed them as I saw it was time to let them go. Now the true test would begin. Besides mani's, what other ways could I keep my nail-biting tick at bay?
Paint my nails
The first thing I did after removing the tips was file my nails and paint them. I used Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Hardner (cause that's all I had), and they looked good. But something was missing. So I decided to shop for some nail color. It's fall so I chose Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy in two shades: Blackjack and Queen of Hearts and after a couple of applications, my nails looked fantastic! It's amazing how much growth one can get over 14 days.
With my nails freshly painted I knew I didn't wanna do anything to fuck them up. So I became more mindful of the activities I was doing so I wouldn't chip them. I had the urge to pick at them but how shiny and healthy my hands looked kept me from getting my clippers.
Keep my hands busy
If you're looking to keep your nails intact then you need to keep your hands busy. I have a fidget spinner that I keep at my desk and when I feel the urge to pick at my nails, which is all the time, I whip out my spinner and give it a whirl. It gives my hands the needed distraction that will deter me from focusing on my nails.
Keep my nails manageable
I plan on keeping my nails around this length. The shorter they are the less maintenance I will have. But if they get longer they'll become a distraction. I'm already finding myself obsess over how my thumbnail clicks against my phone screen. There's something about that sound that intrigues me. Also, by keeping my nails at a certain length means I can continue to do my own mani's in between salon visits.
Remember to take my vitamins
The day after I got the silk wraps I carried my ass down to Target for some Hair, Nail and Skin vitamins. I got the gummy kind as those are the only ones I will remember to take, cause candy. These 3 little gummy squares a day is giving my body the extra boost of vitamins it needs to keep my hair healthy, my skin clear and my nails super strong.
Take it one day at a time

These sound sooo yummy! Do you think i can substitute the maple syrup for a bit of honey (for taste) and stevia?ReplyDeleteReplies

could I use splenda instead of maple syrup?ReplyDeleteReplies

wanted to come back and update. I went ahead and used maple syrup, and they turned out DELICIOUS. I used my mini food processor (add on blender attachment) and it worked well, too. What I did is blend all the chickpeas first, then add all my wet stuff (maple syrup, vanilla, plus baking powder) and blend all that in to make it gooey. Then I did the PB, 1/4 cup at a time, dotted around the whole circle of the food processor instead of all in one place. It mixed fine! I pulsed in my chocolate chips which is the only thing that didn't go so well... the cookies ended up being chocolate peanut butter cookies with some chips, instead of peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips, because the processor shredded my chocolate chips. Oh well. Just wanted to let you know that with a mini fud processor, where there's a will there's a way! :) And the cookies were gone the same night I made them and I only ate TWO.... which means, my family are pigs. But, inadvertently healthy pigs. LOL. What they don't know won't hurt them.Delete

Use 2 ripe bananas instead of the honey or maple syrup. Healthier and just as sweet.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 23, 2015 at 10:46 PM
These cookies are great! I'm eating them right out of the oven, so good! They have just the right amount of sweetness and they're so warm and gooey and delicious. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
These were a hit with my preschooler (and me). Thanks!ReplyDelete

Just made these! substituted maple syrup for organic agave nectar, and skipped the chocolate chips (I ran out and didn't want to go shopping for more). They were absolutely amazing! Gooey and delicious! I am adding banana for more sweetness next time... these are officially becoming a regular! Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
cake looks very tasteful, I so want to makeReplyDelete
Thanks for informationReplyDelete
Tried to make these late Saturday night, make the mistake thinking my blender could handle it :( The 'dough' was soft and hard to make into balls, not sure if this was from too much moisture in the batter (wet chick peas, moist pb) or the blender doing a half ass job. Cooked them and ate them all anyways. Love that this recipe doesn't call for artificial sweeteners! Although might try this again using PB2 and maybe bananas to get the calorie count down a little. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete

PCB sets BCCI deadline on Asia Cup
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has set a June, 2020, deadline for the Indian Cricket Board to confirm its participation in Asia Cup scheduled in September, next year.
"We need to see if India agrees to come to Pakistan for the Asia Cup. There is still some time till next year's September but by June, we have to know where we are going with this and if it can't be hosted here because of a lack of involvement of India," PCB CEO Wasim Khan said in an interview.
However the final decision to shift the tournament will be Asian Cricket Council's prerogative. "But that is a decision for the Asian Cricket Council and ICC to make. We are ready to have India in the Asia Cup," Khan said.
Khan however acknowledged the practical problems in having any bilateral cricketing ties with India in the prevailing strenuous relationship between the two neighbours.
"Board to board level, we share a good relation with India but they have a lot of government interference and we can't keep on running after them to play a bilateral series. If they want to play they will have to tell us and give us a firm commitment. We have no issues playing at a neutral venue," Khan said.

Committee for Colorado's Shared Heritage and Colorado Farm Bureau Statement on Amendment 74
This statement is attributable to Chad Vorthmann, Executive Vice President of Colorado Farm Bureau and the Committee for Colorado's Shared Heritage:
"While the Colorado Farm Bureau is disappointed with the electoral outcome of Amendment 74, we are content knowing that our system of government worked as it should. Coloradans clearly support private property rights protections, but ultimately Washington D.C. opposition groups were successful in creating enough doubt to prevent the amendment from passing.
"Groups and individuals can, and do, disagree on matters of public policy, but it's a shame that the majority of opposition to our measure came from shadowy groups in Washington, D.C. And unfortunately, going forward, governments across Colorado will still be able to remove almost all of the value of private property without repercussion.
"We took up a cause that was very unpopular in some circles because it highlighted an unfair standard many were unaware of, and upset the established order that kept this in place. Sometimes a position needs to be taken regardless of its popularity. That's what real leadership looks like. Our members have been aware of this problem for years and we're happy to have brought more focus to the issue of regulatory takings in Colorado through our grassroots process.
"Colorado Farm Bureau is committed to protecting property rights. This is the first step in a process to pursue takings reform in Colorado. We will continue to bring as much attention to this issue as we can in the coming months, and plan to bring this issue to the voters again."

The 11th Edition of FTTH Council MENA Conference highlighted the importance of fiber optic infrastructure and its role at 5G deployment to homes, businesses, and institutions. In return, this will significantly contribute to fostering the economic environment, adopting emerging economies, and setting up successful regional plans for the 5G technologies.
This year, the 11th Edition of Fibre to the Home (FTTH) Council MENA Conference was held in Cairo. The event witnessed the presence of 12 international companies operating at FTTH and ICT industries in MENA; they also participated in the exhibition that was held on the sidelines of the conference. The exhibition showcased the latest technologies such as FTTH/x, 5G, and Internet of Things (IOT). This is in addition to the participation of Corning as platinum sponsor and Sterlite as gold Sponsor, as well as more than 25 speakers and attendees from over 30 countries.
The 11th Edition of Fibre to the Home (FTTH) Council MENA Conference was held in Cairo during the period from October 21st till October 22nd. Many influential people and international companies contributing at developing ICT infrastructure in the Middle East and all over the world participated in the 2-Day conference.
President of FTTH Council MENA, Juan Colina, expressed his pleasure about the success of the 11th edition of the conference in Cairo and the level of the interactivity and attendee engagement during the sessions within the two-day event.
"FTTH Council MENA has been focusing on encouraging the adoption of fiber as the preferred medium of choice across 5G technology, wireless and smart city applications.", said Juan adding that holding the conference this year in Cairo reflected the council's increasing interest towards transforming the Egyptian cities into smart ones. Besides, the council is keen on exchanging global experiences at the Fiber optics industry, revealing the new opportunities at such vital sector. The Council also shows interest at presenting business models and operational models to serve Egypt's recently-adopted targets towards digital transformation. At the closing session, Colina announced that the council's plan to held the next edition at the Saudi capital, Riyadh, in November 2020.
During the opening panel discussion, Vodafone Egypt CEO, Alexandre Froment- Curtil, delivered a speech, highlighting the importance of engaging private sector and international institutions in the State's efforts towards enhancing the 5G technology. This is to be achieved through the major cooperation for developing fiber -optic infrastructure in order to be accessible to a vast-array of customers.
Froment added that the 4G network users in Egypt represent only 25% of the total number of customers. Hence, Egypt has a slight chance towards adopting 5G technology nowadays, explaining that Vodafone Egypt is working annually on developing the 4G technology to ensure the widest internet coverage with faster speed across Egypt.
From his side, Mohamed Shamroukh, Chief Financial Officer, Telecom Egypt noted that since 2015, his company has invested more than USD 3 billion to accelerate efforts to develop and improve the national infrastructure and network capacities, aiming to install optical fiber in 20 mn homes by 2020
On the other hand, Roland Montagne, Principal Analyst, Director Business Development at IDATE, stated that FTTH deployment ratio has reached 94.6% in the UAE, 83% in Qatar, 40.8% in Bahrain. He pointed out that governments are looking forward to apply FTTH technologies.
He added that FTTH will ensure the wider internet coverage, especially as mobile internet services are more widely used, compared to the fixed internet services in MENA. For example, In comparison to fixed internet services, mobile internet services are widely used 11 times higher in Tunisia, 24 times higher in Jordan, 35 times higher in Kuwait.
Regarding 4G service, Roland Montagne stated that number of 4G sim cards reached 190 million in 2018, expecting to reach 800 million by 2020.
He added that 5G services have been launched in the Arab region, which is poised to be the first region to apply the 5G technology.
He highlighted that the UAE started adopting 5G technologies in May 2018; this is in addition to other Gulf countries, such as KSA, Bahrain, and Qatar that already launched the 5G technologies.

As previously mentioned, girls are put at a natural disadvantage when it comes to learning spatial skills and pursuing STEM careers. Aside from the fact that boys are advantageously wired for visual-spatial processing and girls aren't, girls also face societal and psychological issues that must be dealt with in order for learning to take place.
For instance, girls' confidence can be negatively affected by false beliefs, such as the idea that they can't learn spatial skills beyond what they already possess, or that STEM jobs are "for men". The importance of educators dispelling these beliefs through encouragement is secondary only to avoiding instilling these false beliefs in the first place.
Teachers can help build confidence in their female students by setting reasonable expectations of what types of improvements they can expect as a result of spatial skills development, and then measurably producing those results in their students through spatial skills training.
Activities for Developing Spatial Skills in Girls
Construction Systems
Traditionally, boys are seen as the "building" gender. But why should boys have all the fun? Girls love building and creating just as much as boys, and encouraging girls to play with construction systems fulfills this desire in a way that challenges gender norms, serving to open girls' minds. After all, if they can play with and enjoy toys that are traditionally seen as "for boys", then what's stopping them from growing up to have STEM careers that would be traditionally be seen as "for a man"?
Brackitz is working to build a brighter future for girls interested in the STEM fields by providing the only construction system available that's versatile enough to support the boundless creativity of the girls who will be using it to develop their spatial skills. Through the use of variable length attachments, and rotational and odd angle capability, Brackitz gives young girls an endless variety of ways to design and create so they can express their own unique individuality as they learn.
Check out our Curriculum geared toward STEM Learning
Video Games
Another activity forimproving spatial skillsin girls is through playing video games. Playing certain video games in moderation has been shown to decrease the discrepancy in spatial aptitudes between girls and boys (Subrahmanyam & Greenfield, 1994). Some good video game options include games involving shapes such as Tetris, and 3D exploration and creation such as Minecraft.
Like construction systems, these games immerse girls in a world that requires them to flex their visual-spatial capabilities. A downside to video games, however, is that the worlds are pre-built. This means that, while games like Tetris and Minecraft may offer spatial problem solving challenges, they fail to stimulate the same level of visual-spatial creativity that open-ended construction systems like Brackitz inspire.
Aside from construction systems and video games, other activities for developing spatial skills in girls include the use of spatial language, open-ended puzzles, and more.
For more information, check out this article,
12 Easy Activities To Boost Kids' Spatial Intelligence / Reasoning
While boys may possess an innate aptitude in the realm of spatial cognition, there are manyways to improve spatial skills that work for both genders and could serve to narrow the STEM gender gap. Helping girls build their confidence in their ability to learn spatial skills and dispelling limiting beliefs about gender roles establishes a solid foundation on which girls can begin developing their spatial skills. Through activities such as video game play and construction systems such asBrackitz Complete STEAM Center an abundance of opportunities exists to prepare girls with the skills they need in order to excel at STEM careers.

Where We Call Home
Part 1: The Affordable Housing Crisis Across The U.S.Resume
Want to check out the entire "Where We Call Home" series? Visit our landing page.
With Meghna Chakrabarti
Housing prices are through the roof across the country. We take up the affordable housing crisis in Part 1 of our series, "Where We Call Home."
Mike Rosenberg, reporter covering housing and real estate for the Seattle Times. (@ByRosenberg)
Mollie Fitzpatrick, managing director of Root Policy Research, a national community housing and research firm.
Christiana Foglio, founder and CEO of Community Investment Strategies, a low- and moderate-income housing development firm. Former executive director of the New Jersey Housing & Mortgage Finance Agency (1992-1995), where she was credited with creating the Housing Policy for the State of New Jersey.
Results From The 'Where We Call Home' Survey
From The Reading List
Seattle Times: "Microsoft pledges $500 million to tackle housing crisis in Seattle, Eastside" — "Blessed with a balance sheet that allows for sweeping gestures, Redmond tech giant Microsoft is responding to the region's widening affordability gap with a $500 million pledge to address homelessness and develop affordable housing across the Puget Sound region.
"Most of the money will be aimed at increasing housing options for low- and middle-income workers — workers who "teach our kids in schools, and put out the fires in our houses and keep us alive in the hospital," said Microsoft President Brad Smith — at a time when they're being priced out of Seattle and parts of the Eastside, and when the vast majority of new buildings target wealthier renters.
"Microsoft officials say it's too early to say exactly how much affordable housing will ultimately result from the $500 million. Smith, also Microsoft's chief legal officer, said the company hopes to leverage the fund to help create 'tens of thousands of units,' although to accomplish that it would likely have a small role in many projects.
"The pledge is the largest in the company's 44-year history, and, according to the company, is one of the heftiest contributions by a private corporation to housing. In comparison, it dwarfs the $100 million in annual funding for the state's Housing Trust Fund.
"The initiative comes as Microsoft and other tech giants that have driven the region's economic boom face increasing pressure to help mitigate affordable-housing shortages. Microsoft is coupling its contributions with a call for other companies to step up, and for Eastside cities to facilitate more housing."
USA Today: "Will Google, Amazon and Facebook fix the affordable housing crisis?" — "From atop his gleaming new headquarters, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff has an inspirational view of mountains, the bay and an endless Pacific Ocean.
"But when Benioff looks down, he's not so happy.
"Some 60 floors below his Salesforce Tower offices is what he calls 'an inequality train wreck,' city streets 'out of control' with thousands of homeless and often infirm citizens who have rendered sidewalks a landmine of feces and drug paraphernalia.
"Many have been destitute for years, but others are newly minted refugees of a housing crisis created in large part by the very technology boom that has made Benioff and other tech entrepreneurs billionaires many times over.
"That's why Benioff, along with some of his tech peers and civic leaders, say it's time for corporations in general, and tech companies specifically, to contribute financially toward fixing a problem that looms large from Seattle to Boston.
"Activists, meanwhile, warn that housing stock has lagged so severely in some cities that even huge infusions of cash will struggle to make an impact.
"San Francisco's woes are particularly acute. Its housing stock is a quarter of its need, which has led to real estate prices that are among the highest in the nation. Some 15,000 tech positions were added in the city in 2016 and 2017, according to a report from brokerage firm CBRE."
The Architect's Newspaper: "Chan Zuckerberg Initiative pledges $500 million for Bay Area affordable housing" — "Hot off Microsoft's announcement that it would be creating what is essentially a $500 million affordable housing bank for the Seattle area, the founder of Facebook has unveiled a similar fund for California's Bay Area.
"Through a group of businesses, nonprofits, and philanthropists, the Partnership for the Bay's Future, which was established through the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, will invest $500 million to preserve and build affordable housing. That pledge from the Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan–led charity extends to San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda, and Contra Costa counties.
"The move, which the fund estimates will add 8,000 new units of affordable housing while preserving an existing 175,000 units over the next five-to-ten years, comes at a dire time. As Fast Company points out, only 58,000 new units were built in the Bay Area from 2012 through 2016 even though the region added 373,000 new jobs. From that perspective, it looks like the fund won't make much of an impact, but the backing groups are hoping that they can lay the groundwork for long-term tenant protections, rent reform, and future investments."

After a decade of hearing desperate pleas for another album, Reflection Eternal has finally orchestrated another musical opus to quench the public thirst. On May 18, Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek are scheduled to release their sophomore effort as the one emcee and one producer duo. The album, titled Revolutions Per Minute, boasts guest features from Bun B, Mos Def, Estelle, and J. Cole.
On a hectic press day, VIBE was granted access to tag along with the fellas as they hustled through Midtown Manhattan tackling media interviews before wrapping up the day with a sold-out show at the Nokia Theater with G-Unit's Lloyd Banks.
Even with journalists and fans coming left and right with inquires about the album, the reoccurring topic of the day seemed to be Talib's thoughts on hip-hop's involvement in the Illuminati. During an interview on Siruis Radio, Reflection Eternal's leading mouthpiece revealed that he was once also a believer in the existence of the scared society.
"We believed everything that we read without checking the history of the author or anything. It was in a book so we believed it, that's the ignorance of youth," Talib explained. But we found out later that a lot of those books are written by right wing Christian organizations because they don't like how religion is portrayed in secular society and don't like seeing symbolism used."
Talib concluded by alluding to the fact that hype and mindless public perception are the only reasons that stars such as Kanye West and Jay-Z have been recently accused of being a part of the Illuminati.
Check out the video clips to get the full picture of a day in Talib and Hi-Tek's world. — Mikey Fresh

Macbeth is one of Shakespeare's finest plays, and presents a man's conscience and the effect of guilt on his mind. A dark and bloody play, Macbeth explores reality and illusion; witchcraft and the supernatural; ambition and kingship; the natural order; light and life, darkness and death; blood and dead babies.
Written just after the Gunpowder Plot, and at a time when people were often tried for treason, Macbeth makes much of the beliefs of an extremely superstitious age. King James 1 believed in demons conjured by devils and wild women who could fly through the air, raise storms and tell the future. Whether or not Shakespeare shared these beliefs, all are featured in Macbeth to spine chilling effect.
Our ideas are different, today, of course, on good and evil. However, the play is one of Shakespeare's finest plays and one of his great tragedies. It is a play about driven ambition and evil, fate, deception and treachery. The play opens with an ominous scene - three witches decide to confront Macbeth, the great Scottish general, on his way from a victorious war between Scotland and Norway. The Scottish king, Duncan, decides that he will give the title of Thane of Cawdor to Macbeth.
Macbeth and another General – Banquo meet the witches on their way back from the war when the witches predict that that Macbeth will become king. To secure the prophecy, Macbeth decides to murder Duncan, and his wife, Lady Macbeth, imagines the future with Macbeth as king and helps him out of expedience and loyalty in his hideous action. Once Duncan is dead, Lady Macbeth smears the guards' daggers with Duncan's blood, and Macbeth then kills the guards once the nobleman Macduff finds Duncan's body.
When Macbeth argues that the bloody daggers are proof the guards committed the murder, Macbeth inherits the crown. More murders ensure and the bloodied ghost of Banquo appears to Macbeth. Lady Macbeth is now tortured by her conscience, and she imagines her hands are covered in blood. Driven by guilt, she commits suicide. Macduff kills Macbeth and Malcolm becomes king.
This edition includes the complete text with explanatory notes and a full introduction that describes the setting, summarises the plot and profiles the main characters. It discusses Shakespeare's language and the play's themes, and it gives the typical essay and test questions to help students prepare for exams.
The book contains the following subjects:
Trimmed Page Size: 193 x 124mm; Paperback; 208pp; Spine: 14mm: Weight: 130g
About the editor:
Angela Sheehan, who introduces the play, is a Shakespeare enthusiast. She has had a distinguished career editing encyclopaedias, educational texts and reference books for children, and published The Best-Loved Plays of Shakespeare and the Shakespeare for Everyone series.

This unique and disturbing work concerns the events of 1997, a tragic year in the history of post-communist Albania. After the world's most isolated country emerged from Stalinist dictatorship and opened to capitalism, many people fell prey to fraudsters who invited them to invest in so-called 'pyramid schemes'. At the start of 1997, these pyramids crumbled one after another causing wide-spread demonstrations and protests. The conflict became increasingly violent, leading to the collapse of the state and of the country's institutions. Prisons were opened, crowds stormed arms depots, and the country was abandoned to anarchy and gang rule.
Lubonja has chosen to tell this incredible story through a narrative technique that operates on two levels: a third-person narrator, who describes the large-scale events that made international headlines, and the narrative of Fatos Qorri, the author's alter ego, who describes his own dramatic experiences in a personal diary. The book begins with the synopsis of a novel entitled "The Sugar Boat" that Fatos Qorri intends to write about the spread of a small pyramid scheme luring people to invest supposedly in a sugar business. However, as the major pyramids collapse, real events overtake anything he has imagined and Fatos Qorri finds himself in the midst of a real-life tragedy.

Relayr innovates the way companies do business and go to market with a distinct combination of technology, delivery, finance and insurance capabilities. The company was recently named one of the Top 10 IoT Solution Providers for manufacturers by Manufacturing Technology Insights magazine.

"The complexity of integrating hardware, software and services has impeded many organizations from fully realizing the enormous growth potential of the Industrial IoT," said Lou Lutostanski, Avnet's vice president, Internet of Things. "This alliance will significantly reduce these obstacles, enabling our customers to accelerate their IIoT adoption."
"relayr's comprehensive technology stack includes device management, scalable data management, middleware, analytics and machine learning integrated with third party IT systems," said Guneet Bedi, vice president sales and general manager, Americas, relayr. "Avnet's expertise in IoT Design and Build and innovative Supply Chain of Things will help relayr's customers make the leap from connected to empowered."
The collaboration between Avnet and relayr has already yielded success for customers grappling with the challenge of defining and realizing the business value and ROI of IIoT. For example, Aric Pryor, vice president of technology vision for family-owned Flanders Inc., noted, "The consultative approach and real-world experience of relayr and Avnet enabled us to identify tangible business value and outcomes through IIoT that we had not previously considered." Flanders, based in Evansville, Indiana, specializes in electric rotating machinery for high-demand applications across mining, mills and heavy industry. "The assessment provided a clear roadmap to accelerate a risk-free MVP (minimum viable product), through relayr's guaranteed business outcomes offering, so that we can go to market quicker and realize the benefits that IIoT can provide our organization and, most of all, our customers," Pryor stated.

I decided to try a 360 project this year. I didn't mention this in my resolution post because I didn't decide this until after I had already put it up. :)
I want to take one photo every day. No specific kind of photo...not self portraits or anything. I basically just want to get back in the habit of using my camera for more than just pictures of finished craft projects. :) Though to be honest, there will likely be lots of crafty photos involved. I'm not a photographer by any means...so don't expect anything spectacular. But I'll be posting the pictures each week here to hold me accountable. :) So here's my first week.
{1} Working on my badger wristwarmers. I knitted the main part first and then went back to add the picture with duplicate stitch. They're finished now- more pictures coming soon.
{2} My new reading journal for the year. I love that you can get cute, cheap notebooks at Target.
{3} Taken during my walk on Thursday.
{4} Winding some of my leftover bits of yarn into balls for easier storage. I'm saving them because I'm toying with the idea of starting this sometime this year.
{5} TARDIS decal in the mail! I am ridiculously in love with this. :) I'm also ridiculously bad at putting stickers on my car straight.
{6} Starting my Jane Austen rereads with Sense and Sensibility.
And a little bonus...my cat Ollie learned how to do two obnoxious but also cute things this week. First, how to open my closet door by himself. Second, how to pull my meticulously organized DVDs off the shelf and climb inside. I offer this proof:
Have you ever done a 360 project before? Are you doing one this year? Do you ever come home to find Annie and That's Entertainment DVDs scattered across the floor, or is that just me?
Until next time,

Well, I got the quilt completely pieced and to Sandy yesterday afternoon for her to long arm quilt it. She called this afternoon to tell me it was done so here you have it. The quilting looks like a puzzle. T'is a shame I cannot go outside and hang it on the square foot garden fence, but it is just too darn long. The floor will have to do. The finished size is 64" X 74", and all I have left to do is sew on the binding and WASH IT!!! That's the best part because then I get to see it all puff up and really look like a quilt. You will see I could not resist putting in one red bordered block. The next time you see it, it will be bound, washed, and ready to give to my wonky 43 year old son...Eloise's daddy. What you wanna bet Eloise claims it??????? His birthday is the 18th of March.
I had some blocks left over so am toying with the idea of adding them here and there to the backing. I used some of the chicken fabric to add width to the back so was thinking the 3 chickens might add a bit more whimsey. Let me know what you think.
