Official photos of the new leader of Kazakhstan have been met with criticism online, with accusations his appearance has been altered. Comparison photos appear to show him with significantly smoother skin, and less wrinkles.
RFE/RL were the first to point out the obvious differences, claiming the government-released photos showed a significant difference in interim president Qasym-Zhomart Toqaev's face, when compared with images courtesy of photojournalists at the event.
Amos Chapple, writer at RFE/RL, said:
The aim, it appears, is to digitally nip, tuck, and smooth the 65-year-old ex-diplomat and former prime minister's appearance — and possibly ease his path to a five-year term as the Central Asian powerhouse prepares for its snap presidential election in June.
According to RFE/RL, a Photoshop expert they spoke with said that he was "almost 100 percent" certain the official photos of Toqaev were retouched to change his appearance. He drew particular attention to skin smoothing, and what looks like a reduction in the size of the chin. It was also pointed out that other people in the frames remain untouched.
Many of the official photos released by the Kazakhstani government have since been spread by international media outlets, many of whom are likely oblivious to the photos being doctored.

You should see what they do with celebrities...... oh well......
Sitting here with half open eyes, reading whilst eating my breakfast.
I thought for a moment I was reading the Daily Mail. Not Fstoppers News.
Can this sort of post remain on Petapoxel or dippyreview please? Please..
I think they're just poking some fun at human vanity; some of my clients ask some really weird requests.
In today's digital age, fake images do play a powerful political and social ideology; just look at some of the British tabloid trash. I also think it's important to distinguish between art and propaganda. Just so that you know how bad it has become, look at this clip for example...
I agree with you. The OP missed the fact that if you are taking photos that have a historical value you shouldn't be changing anything more than color correction/contrast/brightness. Changing someone's face now will eventually lead to a more destructive type of editing later. Photography in sports have the same requirements: You aren't allowed to change/edit more than fixing lighting or color issues. You are a representative of that moment in time for history's sake. Apparently, due diligence of upholding those standards is severely lacking in the upcoming photog generation.
That's cute! In Romania they do this: https://www.digi24.ro/stiri/actualitate/politica/reactia-lui-tariceanu-l...
At some point it's not even the same guy... It bring an interesting question regarding overall likeness on political ads VS the real person and if it could be considered fraudulent...
Well, the photoshoped is the one on the left, right?
Isn't that called "retouching"?
The politicians lie so I don't see what the problem is. It fits.
Off with his head....only partially.
Wow, that is not subtle. Meanwhile, Rump gets bigger hands...

The first batch was delivered to Halmstad Airport on June 29th and was successfully uplifted by BRA when it refueled its ATR 72-600 aircraft. The fuel is available to all airlines that refuel at the airport. This follows Air BP's introduction of biojet at Oslo Airport in January 2016.
Air BP is growing its regional biojet footprint on an ad-hoc basis. In October 2016, Air BP was the first aviation fuel supplier to be independently certified Carbon Neutral for into-plane fueling operations at 250 Air BP locations. In November 2016, Air BP announced an investment of $30 million in biojet producer Fulcrum with the aim of distributing and supplying biojet into aircraft at key hubs across North America to meet growing demand.
Air BP presently fuels over 6,400 flights daily at more than 600 global locations in over 45 countries.

The American Opportunity Carbon Fee Act would put an initial tax of $49 per metric ton of CO2 equivalent and raise the tax every year by 2 pct above inflation. The tax revenue would provide $550 refundable credits to taxpayers, some to lower the corporate income tax rate from 35 pct to 29 pct , and some to provide grants to states for various programs. The bill would also create a border adjustment system that would tax imports from nations that do not have comparable carbon taxes and refund taxes on exports to those nations.
Former Treasury Secretaries Baker, Shultz, and Paulson; former EPA Administrators Ruckelshaus, Thomas, Reilly, and Whitman; and leading economists and former presidential economic advisors Arthur Laffer, Gregory Mankiw, and Douglas Holtz-Eakin, reportedly all support a revenue-neutral, border-adjustable carbon fee.

CCAC says the lack of a framework to prioritize policies, including a switch away from the private car, and an "absence of decisions" in the recently launched National Mitigation Plan is contributing to the problem.
The CCAC report also says
"It is urgent that effective additional policies are implemented to place the economy on an environmentally sustainable pathway to a low-carbon Ireland in 2050."
It also notes that while the National Mitigation Plan identified a range of options, "the introduction of, and commitment to new, cost-effective emission reduction policies and measures is essential."
It also recommends the removal of ongoing subsidies for power production from peat which, when co-fired co-firing with with 30pc biomass and 70pc peat, produce more emissions than coal.

Biomethane is a low-carbon transport fuel produced by anaerobic digestion (AD), a natural process that breaks down organic wastes and purpose-grown crops to create a biogas that can be upgraded to create a methane-based fuel. The UK AD industry currently has sufficient capacity to produce enough biomethane to power the UK's entire bus fleet, and the use of biomethane for buses and HGVs has increased in recent years in response to concerns over the cost of fossil-fuel-based fuels and their negative impact on air quality and greenhouse gas emissions..
"The use of biomethane derived from well-managed feedstocks as vehicular fuel can help to reduce the scandalous levels of air pollution we see in towns and cities across the UK, costing thousands of lives each year", according to ADBA CEO Charlotte Morton. "Long-term support for AD is crucial for reducing emissions from the difficult-to-decarbonise transport sector and for improving air quality in our cities and towns to save lives," Morton added.

The recent upgrades include two water chillers for District Energy Plant IV, an under-construction water plant that will produce chilled and hot water to cool and dehumidify campus buildings.
The chillers will hold 4,000 tons (1 million gallons) of chilled water that will serve Research Building 1 and be added to an existing underground infrastructure that serves nearly 75 pct of campus buildings. Over the lifespan of the presently under construction District Energy Plant IV the university is estimated to save $121,000 annually in operation costs.
The remaining $78,000 of the recent rebate is from automation controls installed in Student Health Services, Mathematical Sciences and Engineering II buildings. The controls use CO2 sensors that measure when more outside air is needed to balance the CO2 levels in the buildings.

According to the report, energy crops should only be cultivated on marginal land which is unsuitable for food production or housing, or has been degraded through deforestation.
The report also calls for a renewed focus on converting waste cooking oil, municipal solid waste, whisky production dregs and others into second generation biofuels.
On the downside, limiting bioenergy crop production could cause new problems. Vivergo Fuels, which converts 1.1 million tpy of feed-grade wheat into bioethanol, has previously said it could face closure if crop-based biofuels in petrol were to be restricted.
UK National Farmers Union (NFU) NFU combinable crops chairman Mike Hambly says: "This report clearly demonstrates the need for biofuels and we are pleased to see the RAENG recognise the role UK agriculture has to play in this.
The report focuses heavily on the benefits of second generation biofuels -- something the NFU has long supported -- but we caution investment into this next step will only be secured on the back of first generation fuels and the Government must recognise this in future policy making."

The report identifies the UK's greenhouse gas -- carbon footprint as: CO2, methane, nitrous oxide and three fluorinated compounds.
Critics have argued that while the UK's domestic emissions have fallen sharply in recent years as the power system has shifted away from coal and energy efficiency has improved, the country's overall carbon footprint has changed less due to global supply chain emissions.
Today's statistics confirm emissions relating to the consumption of goods and services produced in the UK have fallen sharply, dropping 27 per cent on 1997, the first year for which these annual statistics were collected. Meanwhile, the proportion of the total GHG footprint generated directly by UK households has remained at around 17 per cent between 1997 and 2014, according to Defra.
On the other hand, emissions related to imports used by businesses and directly by consumers have risen by 19 pct over the same period, reflecting the country's shift towards a service-based, import-reliant economy.
The latest estimates follow a report in April which found the UK's per capita greenhouse gas emissions fell 33 pct between 1992 and 2014, while GDP grew by 130 pct over the same period.

In the report, World GBC calls for all new buildings to operate at net zero carbon from 2030, and 100 pct of buildings must operate at net zero carbon by 2050. The report outlines how these goals can be achieved through concerted action by business, government and NGOs. Achieving these targets would help to ensure that the worst impacts of climate change are avoided, and bring about many other political and economic benefits.
The International Energy Agency estimates that the current global building stock is 223 billion square meters, and will almost double to 415 billion square meters by 2050. According to the Global Alliance for Building and Construction, current renovation rates amount to less than 1 pct of the existing building stock each year. In order to achieve universal net zero carbon in the building sector by 2050, renovation rates must increase by 3 per cent every year starting in 2017, and must accelerate for every year of delay.

"And even if the technology can be made to work for gas, it would come at a price that 'would make renewables and nuclear look cheap'. This is in part because of a lack of joined up policy, as Professor Hughes explains: 'Successive governments haven't thought their policies through. The focus on renewables is making CCS -- already a marginal technology -- even less viable.' A coherent strategy could reduce carbon emissions at a fraction of the current cost by switching to gas with the option to install CCS if/when it makes economic sense."

Life In Legacy - Week ending
Saturday, April 6, 2019
Hold pointer over photo for person's name. Click on photo to go to brief obit.
Click on name to return to picture.
Art and Literature
Vonda N. McIntyre
(70) science fiction writer whose tales featured female protagonists—among them the healer in a postapocalyptic earth who cures the ill with snake venom—and wrote five
Star Trek
novels. When McIntyre began reading science fiction as a young girl, male writers dominated the genre. By her 30s, she was one of the category's leading women, following a path established by Ursula K. Le Guin, Kate Wilhelm, and Anne McCaffrey. McIntyre then became an inspiring mentor to many younger female writers. She died of pancreatic cancer in Seattle, Washington on April 1, 2019.
Dan Robbins
(93) artist who created the first paint-by-numbers pictures and helped to turn the kits into an American sensation during the '50s. Robbins' works were dismissed by some critics but later celebrated by the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History. Robbins was working as a package designer for the Palmer Paint Co. in Detroit when he came up with the idea for paint-by-numbers in the late '40s. He said his inspiration came from Leonardo da Vinci. He had been in good health until a series of falls in recent months. He died in Sylvania, Ohio on April 1, 2019.
Business and Science
Sydney Brenner
(92) South African-born biologist who helped to determine the nature of the genetic code and shared a Nobel Prize in 2002 for developing a tiny transparent worm into a test bed for biological discoveries. Brenner was a central player in the golden age of molecular biology, which extended from the discovery of the structure of DNA in 1953 to the mid-'60s. He then showed, in experiments with a roundworm known as
C. elegans,
how it might be possible to decode the human genome. That work laid the basis for the genomic phase of biology. Later, in a project still coming to fruition, he focused on understanding the functioning of the brain. Brenner died in Singapore on April 5, 2019.
Jean-Louis David
(85) French hairdresser who created looks for women that emphasized practicality and style. David founded a worldwide chain of salons that bear his name. The first two Jean Louis David salons—without the hyphen—opened in Paris in the '60s. Unlike more traditional salons, which tended to specialize in stiff, heavily coifed styles that required regular upkeep, his salons aimed to appeal to a contemporary customer: a busy modern woman who wanted hair that felt less rigid, was easier to maintain, frequently looked slightly tousled, and had pronounced sex appeal. By the mid-'90s there were nearly 1.000 Jean Louis David salons in North America and Europe. David died in Épalinges, Switzerland, a suburb of Lausanne, of complications from shingles, which he contracted last spring, on April 3, 2019.
David Fechheimer
(76) flower child of the '60s and aspiring English professor who was inspired overnight by fictional gumshoe Sam Spade to switch careers and become one of the nation's leading private investigators. By dint of personality and practice, Fechheimer was inconspicuous compared with many of his colleagues and most of his clients. He handled cases involving the Black Panthers, Kobe Bryant, Angela Davis, Robert Durst, John Gotti, Daniel Ellsberg, Patty Hearst, Timothy McVeigh, Roman Polanski, and Martha Stewart, among others. He died in Redwood City, California after open-heart surgery, on April 2, 2019.
Natalia Fileva
(55) Russian airline operator S7 Group co-owner, one of Russia's richest women. Fileva was killed in the crash of a small plane in Germany. She was aboard a single-engine, six-seat Epic-LT aircraft that crashed in a field on approach to the small airport in the town of Egelsbach in southwestern Germany. German police said there appeared to be three people aboard the plane, including the pilot of the flight, which originated in France. German aviation authorities were probing the cause of the crash. Fileva's fortune was estimated at $600 million when she died on March 31, 2019.
Dr. Richard Green
(82) one of the earliest and most vocal critics of psychiatry's classification of homosexuality as a mental disorder. Also an advocate for gay and transgender rights in a series of landmark discrimination trials, Green became aware of the marginalization of people because of their sexual and gender identities while training to be a doctor at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, a leader in the study of sexuality. In 1972, shortly after completing his specialty in psychiatry, he defied the advice of colleagues and wrote a paper in
The International Journal of Psychiatry
questioning "the premise that homosexuality is a disease or a homosexual is inferior." In 1973 the American Psychiatric Association sided with Green and other influential figures and decided to drop homosexuality from its diagnostic manual. Brooklyn-born Green died of esophageal cancer in London, England on April 6, 2019.
David J. Thouless
(84) shared the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics for discoveries that used mathematics to explain strange states of matter like superconductivity and superfluidity. Born in Scotland to English parents, Thouless had taught at Cambridge but received his Nobel while affiliated with the University of Washington. His research dealt with condensed-matter physics and specifically with what happens when matter changes phases—as, for example, when ice melts and becomes a liquid or water boils and becomes steam. Although phase transitions seem deceptively simple, the mathematics turn out to be exceedingly complex and important—particularly when one looks at such a transition at the microscopic level using quantum mechanics. Thouless died in Cambridge, England on April 6, 2019.
Jacob A. Stein
(94) Washington lawyer who won the only major acquittal of a Watergate defendant, gained immunity for former White House intern Monica S. Lewinsky to testify against President Bill Clinton, and, as an independent counsel, cleared Edwin Meese 3rd to become attorney general in 1984. A rare second-generation Washington lawyer, Stein rose to become unofficial dean of the District of Columbia bar. He seldom left a courtroom without earning the respect of his colleagues, the judge, the jury, and even his client, the defendant, win or lose. He successfully defended Sen. Bob Packwood (R-Ore.) against criminal charges of influence peddling. But the senator said he would have been impressed with Stein's legal advocacy regardless of the verdict. Stein died of multiple myeloma in Washington, DC on April 3, 2019.
News and Entertainment
Kim English
(48) singer whose vocals and spiritual perspective anchored more than a dozen house-music hits that reverberated in dance clubs beginning in the '90s. Dance music's euphoria and church music's rapture have been conceptual relatives for years, but English's joyful 12-inch singles often made the connection explicit, speaking plainly about her Christianity and soaring with the fervor of gospel music. Like house music itself—a form of electronic dance music that emerged in the early '80s—English was born in Chicago, but she became best known through her relationship with New York garage, a strain of dance music that embraced production and melodies more amenable to gospel and soul. Her breakthrough was "Nite Life," a 1994 12-inch disc given a luxurious mix by the New York garage producers Masters at Work and a harder-edged remix by Armand Van Helden. It became an enduring club staple. English suffered kidney failure and had been on dialysis for years. She died in Chicago, Illinois on April 2, 2019.
Nipsey Hussle
(33) rapper fatally shot outside the clothing store he founded to help rebuild his troubled South Los Angeles neighborhood, cutting short a career that earned him a Grammy nomination this year for his major-label debut. Hussle was one of three men shot outside Marathon Clothing, his store in South LA. The other two were in stable condition. Detectives were canvassing the area for witnesses and looking to see if any surveillance video captured the shooting. Hussle, who had two children and was engaged to actress Lauren London, was Eritrean-American. He was born Ermias Asghedom in 1985 in the same Crenshaw neighborhood where he died and where he had been working to provide youths with alternatives to the hustling he did when he was younger, in Los Angeles, California on March 31, 2019.
Marilyn Mason
(93) concert organist who championed living composers and shaped generations of organists over a record-breaking 67 years on the faculty at the University of Michigan. Mason's concert career took her to churches and halls on five continents. In 1957 she was the first American woman to play an organ concerto at Westminster Abbey. By then she had established herself as a performer of new music, thanks in part to her 1951 recording of Arnold Schoenberg's Variations on a Recitative (Op. 40). Mason, who had taken lessons with Schoenberg in 1949 in Los Angeles, became one of the most prominent advocates for that piece. She commissioned more than 70 works from new composers. Mason died in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on April 4, 2019.
Sam Pilafian
(69) virtuoso tuba player who performed an eclectic mix of classical, jazz, pop, and rock music and brought exuberance to teaching young tubists. As a busy soloist, a founding member of the influential Empire Brass quintet, and a partner to acoustic guitarist Frank Vignola in the jazz group Travelin' Light, Pilafian expanded the musical possibilities of his lumbering instrument. He played with Broadway singers Bernadette Peters and Barbara Cook; the Duke Ellington and Lionel Hampton orchestras; the ensemble on the Philip Glass album
(1982); the New York Philharmonic and the Boston Symphony Orchestra, as a substitute or soloist; and Pink Floyd, on the 1979 album
The Wall.
Pilafian died of colon cancer in Tempe, Arizona on April 5, 2019.
Jim Rissmiller
(76) for a generation of southern California music fans, the phrase "Wolf & Rissmiller Presents" was synonymous with live performances by the cream of the crop of rock and pop music superstars, from the Rolling Stones to Elton John. As one of the region's premier concert promoters, the team of Steve Wolf and Jim Rissmiller helped to usher in the era of "arena rock" as pop music blossomed and moved out of the clubs, theaters, and concert halls into sports arenas and stadiums, establishing practices and traditions that continue to play out in the concert business decades later. Their partnership came to an abrupt end on November 20, 1977, when Wolf was killed after apparently surprising burglars at his home. A 19-year-old man was later convicted of second-degree murder in his death. Rissmiller died of a stroke in Cleveland, Ohio on April 3, 2019.
Politics and Military
Ernest F. ('Fritz') Hollings
(97) Democrat who helped to shepherd South Carolina through desegregation as governor and later served six terms in the US Senate. Hollings, whose long and colorful political career included an unsuccessful bid for the Democrat presidential nomination, retired from the Senate in 2005, one of the last of the larger-than-life Democrats who dominated politics in the South. He had served 38 years and two months, making him the eighth longest-serving senator in US history. Nevertheless he remained the junior senator from South Carolina for most of his term. The senior senator was Strom Thurmond, first elected in 1954. Thurmond retired in January 2003 at age 100 as the longest-serving senator in history and died five months later. In his final Senate speech, made in 2004, Hollings lamented that lawmakers came to spend much of their time raising money for the next election. He died on the Isle of Palms, South Carolina on April 6, 2019.
Ly Tong
(74) South Vietnamese Air Force veteran who dropped anti-Communist leaflets over Vietnam from hijacked planes long after the war's end, playing out the fantasies of many defeated soldiers of the south. A man who never accepted defeat, Ly Tong considered it his personal mission to take back his country from the Communists, who have ruled it since winning the Vietnam War in 1975. He became a hero to many Vietnamese refugees in 1992 when he hijacked a commercial airliner after takeoff from Bangkok, ordered the pilot to fly low over Ho Chi Minh City—known as Saigon, South Vietnam's capital, before the Communist victory—and dumped thousands of leaflets calling for a popular uprising, then strapped on a parachute and followed the leaflets down to certain capture. He was released six years later in an amnesty and returned to the US, where he had become a citizen after the war. In 2000, under the guise of taking flying lessons in Thailand, Ly Tong made a second trip over Ho Chi Minh City, sending down a new cascade of leaflets, which he had signed "Global Alliance for the Total Uprising Against Communists." He was arrested on his return to Thailand and spent another six years in prison for hijacking. He was not armed, and no one was hurt on either of his flights. He died of lung disease in San Diego, California on April 6, 2019.
Society and Religion
Joan Jones
(79) crusader for racial justice and equality in Nova Scotia, whose black population has faced discrimination and hostility for centuries. American-born Jones went to the province in the mid-'60s with her husband, Burnley Jones, and the two set about galvanizing black residents on housing, employment, and other issues. Racism was entrenched. Although the black population had roots going back centuries—some people were the descendants of slaves who had fought with the British during the American Revolution and had resettled there—the black community was never large and had never had much political power. School segregation persisted into the '50s. Black residents (there are about 22,000 today out of a population of 965,000) had disproportionately high dropout, incarceration, and unemployment rates. Over the years Jones held several jobs with Canada's public works department, was a consultant to the provincial government, was a co-owner of two boutiques, and worked for Nova Scotia Legal Aid, retiring from that agency in 2008. She died in Halifax, Nova Scotia on April 1, 2019.
Rabbi Yisroel Avrohom Portugal
(95) Hasidic grand rabbi who had no more than a few hundred followers and no cavernous synagogue or prestigious yeshiva as his base. Yet Portugal, grand rabbi of the tiny Skulen Hasidic sect, was revered throughout the growing ultra-Orthodox world. Portugal may have been the last of the Hasidic grand rabbis who survived the ordeals of both the Holocaust and the Iron Curtain and rebuilt their communities in New York and Israel. He died in Baltimore, Maryland, succumbing to an infection he had had for months, on April 1, 2019.

text: Looking Back at This Summer August 1, 2017 SD Allen My name is McKenzie Lee. I'm a biology major, and I'm pre-med, so science and numbers are sort of my thing. So here are some statistics for y'all: in 2005, 4% of licensed lawyers were 29 years old or less. In 1900, only 4% of American men were six feet or taller. 4% of newlyweds spend their honeymoon in Europe. And only 4% of people who live in government housing attend a church.But I've learned this summer that percentages can't explain how it feels when Ms. Summer's kids run up and tackle me with hugs. There are no numbers that define the love I feel in my heart when Alex and Landon call me sister. Stats don't do justice to the joy of watching the faithfulness of God as the number of our kids double each day of our first week.The experiences that I and my co-workers have had this summer just can't be simplified to numbers. Jeff asked us the other night if it was worth it and why, and I think the answer to that question comes in the small moments. In hearing Jerrell regurgitate almost perfectly the story he learned that morning over Zaxby's. In our early morning jam sessions. In knowing that these kids are loved and get to learn God's love through us.Grey often says, "We GET to do this," and I think that's an incredible way, and the best way, to describe this summer. We've been provided an opportunity that others might not understand and might be skeptical of, but that we're so incredibly thankful for. I am thankful everyday that I got to do this, and I'm thankful that it doesn't stop here. Summer Hope may have ended, but the love I have for these kids won't go away.Here's another fact for you: I had never taken a step a day in my life into Rosedale or McKenzie Court before this summer, and after this summer any day not spent at these places I'll miss.-McKenzie Lee

Reading is defined as a multifaceted process that involves recognising words (identify), understanding the meaning of the words and sentences (comprehend) and doing so in a fluent manner (coordinate). The aim is for the reader to extract meaning from print.
This post will focus on the act of reading - the 'identify' step. So, how can we support children who are learning to read? We can do so by having a basic understadning of the skills that are required…
Phonemic Awareness
This takes us back to the previous blog post. Can the child break words apart?
Letter - Sound Knowledge
Can the child match letters to sounds, for example, the letter 'r' makes a /r/ sound and the letters 's' and 'h' can be put together to make the /sh/ sound.
Can the child use letter-sound knowledge to read unfamiliar words. This is the act of sounding out, or decoding.
Sight words
Can the child store words (sight words) and then identify those words automatically and quickly, such as 'and' or 'the'.
At SubiSpeech we use a number of resources to support literacy goals, here are few of our favourites…
Little Learners Love Literacy - "The Little Learner decodable books have delightful stories that children can read using their phonic knowledge; the letters and sounds that they have been explicitly taught using the Little Learners Love Literacy approach." - Little Learner's Love Literacy
SoundCheck - "SoundCheck is designed to let children experience success in spelling, by teaching the skill of segmenting words, or breaking words into sounds." - Little Learner's Love Literacy
Reading bookmarks - these are fun to make and are easily accessible. Grab some coloured paper and some Textas and you're ready to go! They are most effective when they include the main goals that the child is working on with their reading.

Building a Home, Building a Family
There is no wedding dress hanging from the doorway. Instead, a gold romper made of velvet shimmers softly in the mid-morning light. I sit at my desk, a cup of tea steeping between my palms. Outside the window, snow coats the fluffy branches of big, old evergreens.
"Marriage," I speak the word aloud to myself, rolling it around on my tongue and letting it dissolve like a lozenge. My thoughts drift to the closet, where two boxes sit on the top shelf. They are empty of the yellow-gold wedding bands that came in them. On my left ring finger, a thin and dainty ring glints as I type.
Five months ago, I met Nik through mutual friends at a dinner party. The moment he walked into the room, I knew I needed to know him. When I finally spoke to him, he leaned in close to my face and a warm wave of calm washed over me. I would go home and think of him and that feeling of comfort all night. Several days later, we would meet beneath twinkling fairy lights. We were falling madly in love before we even realized that we were.
We've spent nearly every day together since. We've seen seasons pass, we've shed tears, we've learned to drop our defenses and lean on one another as partners and co-parents.
I left for Pennsylvania to spend Thanksgiving with my larger family. I wrote Nik a letter for each day I was away, to read one by one. In the final letter, I asked Nik to marry me. I proposed a summer solstice wedding. When the peonies and hydrangea bloom. I imagined something intimate and private. Perhaps my grandmother could marry us barefoot in her backyard. I looked at lacy, bohemian wedding dresses and engagement rings sparkling with golden stones.
But, when I returned home, something about that dream wasn't sitting right with me. I felt selfish, and like my envisioned wedding wasn't as equal and reciprocal as my relationship with Nik is.
"What if we get married on the winter solstice?" Nik asked me one night in the kitchen, over a pot of cooking coconut rice.
"This month?" I asked, slightly skeptically.
I thought for a moment, biting my bottom lip. "Yes," I said. "Of course."
Nik and I began unfolding plans. We learned that in Colorado we can self-solemnize our marriage; meaning that we do not need a witness or officiant present when we exchange our vows and bands.
In three days, we will drop our girls off at preschool, apply for our marriage license, go on a hike to exchange the vows we've written and the bands we're already wearing (because we're too excited to wait), and complete our paperwork at the clerk and recorder's office to start the new year as husband and wife.
The night of our marriage, my mother will host a big winter solstice party, which I'll wear my golden romper to. There will be good food, drinks, and live music to enjoy. Nik and I will announce our marriage and highlight our journey with photographs and framed stories that we've each written about each another.
The love I share with Nik is pure and simple, childlike even. Over the past five months, we haven't only fallen in love, but we've built a home and a family.

Each parent and prospective student should examine what they want from their education experience from an objective view. Weigh all the factors such as campus size, student to teacher ratio, academic standards, post graduation job placement, post graduation graduate school placement, strong programs vs. weak programs, etc. At the same time considerations for the surrounding community environment should play a role in the decision as well. Will the prospective student be distracted by off campus activates that will detract from their principal purpose of attending college? Are there strong support systems in place on campus such as counseling services, academic advising, spiritual/religious outlets, and a healthy social environment? Each of these elements and perspectives should be considered when looking at the need of each individual prospective student. The choice should be arrived at by a mutual decision making process with the parent and prospective student to avoid the misplacement of such said prospective student into a university which will not be suitable. Ultimately, the future success and happiness of the prospective student should be considered as the compass in navigating through all the elements of the decision making process. It is their future!
Out of my college experience I have received the knowledge to enhance my abilities in my future career, the cultural diversity to help me understand others, and created very dear friendships. Each of the reasons alone is enough to explain why Walsh University has been such a valuable school to attend. From the start of my freshman year frantically searching what classroom I needed to be in up until now where I have built a home, I have gained the comprehension required by workers in my future field. Through dedicated professors, I have struggled and triumphed over ideas which were necessary to understand. The knowledge Walsh has helped me obtain is not only valuable but a true asset. In addition to knowledge, I have a broadened awareness of cultural diversity. Walsh allowed me to study abroad for a semester and experience life and notions far different from my own. The experience proved to be a significant turning point in which I assessed my values and ways of thinking tremendously. Finally, Walsh has also helped me create bonds with friends I cherish every single day. Through programmed activities, I have met friends that encouraged me to be the best I can.
Before choosing the right college, it is important to review your interests and consider a major. It is important to choose a college that is highly specialized in your major and future goals. Advice I would give to a college seeking student would be to find a college that is the right size, contains campus resources, and is in a convenient location. It is also important to know the degrees offered, accreditation, test success, and most importantly the schools reputation. A student should choose a college that is economically suitable for their family's income and offers financial aid. Student's need to be comfortable with their college surroundings and be able to express themselves. College is about learning, new relationships, and joining activities and clubs. School and studying should be your main priorities, however college life needs to be enjoyable as well. Therefore, a college student must have good time management skills. College can be very stressful at times so don't be afraid to seek help or counseling if you are having problems. Last but not least, it is normal for students to be home sick, so don't give up on yourself, you'll get through it!
Advice that I would give to students and parents about choosing the right college and about making the most out of their college experience would include a few things. In choosing the right college I would encourage students to look at a lot of different types of colleges. After narrowing your choices down to about three or four, visit those a few times. While on campus, make sure that they have your major of choice and that it is a good program. Also ask about class size, student teacher ratio, accessibility of the professors, campus police quality, and extracurricular activities are offered. Also ask about other things available to students including counseling and tudoring. Parents should attend these visits and talk about their concerns as well. I also would encourage parents to have an open mind to what their son or daughter chooses as their college of choice. Making the most out of your college experience includes being open to meeting new people and making friends, get involved with campus activities, finding a balance between school and your social life, and taking advantage of everything the campus has to offer to help students in any way.
The transition from high school to college life can be a drastic change for many. If I had the opportunity to go back and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would advise myself to be more courageous, equipped, and adaptive. Courage can come in many different forms and is essential in the college experience. I would tell myself to be more courageous in meeting people and not missing out on the wonderful activities the campus puts on for freshman. Many other individuals are homesick and experiencing similar difficulties, just waiting for someone to make the move for a life-long friendship. I would instruct myself to be ready and equipped with the materials necessary for success. These include not only material items, but strength, knowledge, and preparation. I would also inform myself on the importance of being adaptive. College surrounds students with new opportunities and ways of life that people must be ready to take on. By adapting to everything from new freedoms to new study habits, the college experience can be much less shocking and much more inviting. The keys to a successful transition are a positive attitude and open arms.
The advice that I would offer regarding the selection of a univeristy would be directed to students. While parents should be involved in reviewing potential schools, the final decision should be up to the student. A college education is vital in today's society and the decision to attend college should not be taken lightly. Students should choose the most qualified university relevant to their career choice and lifestyle. Too many schools focus soley on academics and not extraciricular activites that help make a student a well-rounded individual and help prepare them for the challenges in life. The school that is chosen should fit aspects of the students personality, financial status, religion, ethics and morals. If a school is chosen that does not fit these categories, the student may find completing their education in a timely and successful manner challenging. Overall a college education is earned and well respected. It is something only the student and commit to and complete. With so many challenges and obstacles in today's world, students should pick the right school for them that will enhance their adulthood, not hinder it.
My advice in finding the right college is simple, choose a school that fits you. If you want a small enclosed campus with one-on-one professor interaction, excellent facilities, and a private education, then a small private school would be a good fit. If your interests lie in a large campus with a vast student population, big classrooms, and a wide range of extra-curricular activities and academic organizations, then choose a state school. After determining the size of school the next step is easy, just simply visit different schools and choose the one that makes you feel the most comfortable. You will know just by listening to what each one has to offer, which one is right for you. Go with your gut instincts. My advice on making the most of the college experience is get involved. Join campus clubs, participate in intramurals, and go to school sponsored activities. Do not be afraid of leaving your dorm room to meet new people living around you, or turning to your neighbor in class and introducing yourself. Your studies are the most important focus, but developing friendships are key in your college experience, too.
After viewing all of the possible components, finding the right college should ultimately be the student's decision. I would strongly advise visiting any perspective college to get a feel for its atmosphere and to examine whether or not that college can meet the student's expectations and provide a solid education and career opportunities. I would encourage students to visit multiple sites in order to find that perfect fit because one college is not for everyone. Finances are also a large part of chosing the right college and can weigh heavily on a student's decision. I would look into how much financial aid a school can offer and whether or not it is within the student's and/or parents' budget. Housing, availability of resources, and the quality of the education are other important areas to consider. Once a student finds a college the feels right for them, they should put their studies first but need to leave time to discover and develop into the person that they desire to become. Each individual has their own idea of what they want their college experience to be and it is up to them to make the most of it.
From picking the right school, to saying good bye on that first day, emotions are running high for both the students and the parents. When picking a school, it is important for both the parent/guardian and the student to make the decision together. It is normal for students to be feeling fearful and confused, but it is important to not allow these emotions take over. Parents can minimize this anxiety by listening to what their child wants from a school, weather it is size, or any other specifications they may have. And parents, share with your child what is important to you, such as student to teacher ratio, or most understandably, the price of tuition! Then compromise, but parents, please remember, this decision affects your child?s life much more then it does your own. The greatest thing that a parent can do for their child is to give them time and space to sort out new feelings and emotions, and to remind their child that on their first day, each and every student around them is feeling very similar emotions, so they my as well branch out, make a new friend, and share in this new endeavor together!
I am currently a sophmore in college, and choosing the "right" or "perfect" college wasn't too difficult. First of all, i knew i wanted to attend a college that was in-state, for tuition purposes. Secondly, i wanted to attend an University that provided a small and peaceful campus atmosphere. I receive a little financial aide, only from scholarships from highschool, the rest receive from my parents and i pay for some as well, by woking at a fast food restaurant, if you want a good education you will learn to do what you have to do! Personally, i love the college choice i made. It fits me just right, it is small, it is close to home, and provides many opportuniites to have that one on one time with your proffessors. Can you picture being in a class with 200 students, there is not a chance that your professor is going to know who you are, let alone care about your personal problems and troubles that might come up during your college experience. So in conclusion, it just comes down to you choosing the college you want to attend! Choose the university that best fits your personality.

On the establishment of the Russian version of the operating system[/[t:tag slug=sistema]system (OS) Tizen was announced on 2 June. Tizen is an independent operating system that is not tied to the "cloud" Apple or the Google, and so it can be adapted to the local markets, said the president "Tayzen.ru" Andrei Tikhonov Association. The main feature provided by the operating system - in its security, said Tikhonov.
To develop the OS for a year working members "Tayzen.ru 'Association, which includes 11 companies, among them -" Samsung Electronics Rus Company "(Russian" daughter "the Samsung), Research and Testing Institute of complex security systems (SRI SOKB) Group T1 (GK "Renova"), a developer of software for law enforcement agencies, "Sphere", "New cloud" and other means to develop -. this membership fees of participating companies association. The total investment exceeded $ 1.5 million, Tikhonov said.
"We took the international system, have removed" layer "of security and finalized it," said Tikhonov. According to him, the association is ready to share their experience in the field of security with the international consortium of Tizen. SOKB Research Institute has developed for the OS security requirements (they are made in the document) based on Russian legislation, said Igor Kalaida Institute. After that, the organization finalized the operating system itself, in accordance with these requirements, he added. At the moment, the operating system has a security certificate FSTEC noted Kalaida.
The first smartphone, which installed the Russian version of Tizen, became Samsung Z3, Tikhonov said. This is the most secure smartphone on the market, he insists. Tikhonov expects that before the end of 2016, the association will be able to sell up to 50 thousand. Units. At the moment, there are negotiations with several partners, but do not call them. About 2 thousand. Tested devices are now employees of the Research Institute SOKB, he said.
Under the Russian version of the mobile Tizen their applications already developed by "New cloud computing" - Mail and document viewer, the director of product "MoyOfis" for the mass market and education Peter Shcheglov. In the next three months the company will release a full-fledged text editor for Tizen, he added.
Another product is adapted for the Russian version of Tizen- Russian search engine "Sputnik". Companies interested in creating a secure system for the user, because there is a desire to be present in such products as safe smarfton, secure operating system and security of corporate services, said the representative of "Sputnik" Dmitry clean. "We made a Tizen browser - it's the first product focused on enterprise customers for us," he added clean.
Russian Developer processor - the company "Baikal Electronics" is currently working on adapting its product Baikal-T1 for OS Tizen, said the representative of "Baikal Electronics". Specific terms for the production of a product he did not name.
Tizen will be used not only as secure mobile operating system, but also as a platform for the Internet of things, cars, TVs, security systems, etc., Tikhonov said. For example, a person insures a car. The insurance company can give customers a discount if he gently leads. In the presence of a vehicle within the OS with a certificate FSTEC, the company is confident that it is impossible to hack and rig data, Tikhonov said. In the future, he plans to develop Tizen for these platforms.
For Samsung Tizen operating system was the second product that the company is developing in the global market. In 2010 the company produced a cheap and popular in Russia phones based on Bada OS. In 2013, Samsung announced Bada merger with Tizen. "Programming is like a branch of a large tree, and at some point it became clear that it is growing in the wrong direction. And instead of it to rebuild, it was easier to grow a new tree, getting rid of the problems encountered during the growth of the first" , - he explains the reasons resigned from Bada head of Samsung Mobile in Russia Arkady Graf in an interview with RBC.
