To paraphrase the late William Shakespeare, "Some writers are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have topics thrust upon them." Etiquetteer most decidedly falls into the latter category, and this week two decidedly uncomfortable topics are being thrust into Etiquetteer's face: President Trumps's serving fast food to a visiting sports team, and Gillette's new advertisement encouraging men to intervene when witnessing bad behavior. Etiquetteer would much rather chastise people who haven't written their Lovely Notes yet or explain how to use some obscure piece of silver . . . but no. Noooooooooo! All you readers, snatching Etiquetteer out of the Comfort Zone! Etiquetteer will only cover the first topic in this column.
First, let's talk about expectations, and how we react when expectations are not met. The father of the bride expects his daughter to wear a white wedding dress; what happens if she suddenly appears at the church door in red? The White House is "the Nation's address." Everyone has ideas about the kind of hospitality the House should extend to guests. It should reflect the style of the current occupant, to be sure, but it also has to befit the standard of one of the Great Nations. Etiquetteer remembers being outraged over the Obama "beer summit" in 2009. President Obama was inviting the two principals in a nasty dispute to the Nation's address to drink beer on the lawn in their shirtsleeves?! Can't you at least go in the Green Room and drink out of glasses?* Green is such a a calming color . . . and don't go throwing a red flag at Etiquetteer by pointing out that a lawn is green.
Now President Trump is causing a fresh uproar for serving fast food in the State Dining Room to the Clemson Tigers football team. The President is using this White House visit in a very political way, underscoring that many of the White House residence staff are on furlough because of the government shutdown.** With no cooks in the kitchen, what else is there to do?*** For those who have an expectation of what White House entertaining should be like, packaged fast food served on White House china and silver is just like seeing the bride in red when you expected white. Etiquetteer imagines this is especially painful for those who revere the memory of Jackie Kennedy, who truly revolutionized White House entertaining in favor of both elegance and enjoyment.
This event also symbolizes the Great Cultural Divide in our Great Nation, because let's face it, there are millions of people who think a Big Mac is [Insert Expletive Here] awesome and much better than any of that fancy [Insert Expletive Here] French food. And Etiquetteer can't help thinking that if the President had done this with irony everyone in Brooklyn would immediately be buying gold-rimmed china for fast-food dinners.**** it may yet start a trend. Who knows?
So, no, Etiquetteer doesn't really like this innovation in White House entertaining, but can't deny that it accurately reflects the style of the current occupant. Etiquetteer sympathizes most with the Clemson Tigers in whose honor the event was held. For most of them, this is likely to be their only visit to the White House.
*In fact they may have been drinking that beer out of glasses.
**Etiquetteer is not going to talk about the shutdown.
***President Trump also seems to be making a big deal that he's picking up the tab himself for this event. That's nothing. Until the Truman Administration, the President was expected to fund personally the running of the entire White House. Plus, it's really bad manners to talk about money like that.
****But this President has no irony.

The Petroleum Technology Transfer Council (PTTC) and the Environmentally Friendly Drilling (EFD) program, managed by the Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC), have joined together to develop and implement a research effort to address gas flaring and stranded gas by utilizing novel technologies to monetize gas at the wellhead. PTTC will organize and run various workshops related to problem identification and technology transfer/training. EFD, a nonprofit organization, will manage the program.
The overall objective of the Flaring Issues, Solutions and Technologies (FIST) project is to develop and demonstrate technologies to monetize stranded gas and to reduce or eliminate gas flaring and/or methane emissions associated with gas production in a manner that results in monetization of the valuable gases.
The FIST project team is developing a budget, program schedule & sponsor participation fees. The fees may scale in degrees of funding by Phase (4 proposed phases), participation levels, adding service providers, including levels for operator type (small independent/mid size/major) or by regions.
Phase 1 of the project will develop a prototype screening tool and begin the screening of technologies. A Technical Readiness Level (TRL) Assessment on each technology identified will be conducted. In addition a White Paper will capture regionally specific findings from various workshops such as gas quality, quantity, current amount gas being flared and wells currently shut for lack of sufficient infrastructure, proximity to infrastructure such as power lines, roads and liquid pipe lines, regional regulatory barriers, etc.
Update: November, 2014 - White Paper Now Available Here.
Phase 2 consists of performing an initial evaluation of various technologies and to refine the screening tool. (this is a stage gate for going forward). Outcomes of Phase 2 include documenting selection criteria, selecting field test sites and developing a detailed budget for Phase 2 and 4.
Phase 3 will include detailed engineering and design for field demonstrations as selected by the sponsors.
Phase 4 will include field trials, documentation and the continuation of the program to maintain the web site, additional field testing, provide training. There are various technologies that will be identified and screened as potential applications. Any of these technologies may be more applicable under conditions identified in our study. This will evolve as new plays are being developed, new regulations are passed, changes in the economics of the market and the technologies being applied.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Birthday Party Planning and other Birthday topics.
Brides have been doing it for decades: registering for gifts at their local department and specialty stores so that interested friends and family members could purchase gifts that the newlyweds really wanted. So, is this practice practical and appropriate for other occasions, like birthdays? Absolutely! As people get busier and busier -- and gifts for every occasion bet more and more expensive -- partygoers appreciate knowing what the birthday boy or girl wants and where to get it. The best way to communicate your wishes is in the party invitiation itself. After you list the traditional date, place, time, etc., simply note that the birthday person would appreciate gift cards to (retailer name here) for video games for his/her nifty new Nintendo! The partygoers still have the option to bring other gifts, but they know what your child would really like...and where to get it.

Changes to the rules on getting an Irish tax deduction for interest payments
What has happened?
Amid the somewhat chaotic passing of the Finance Act in January 2011, treasurers may have missed a provision that could have significant consequences for the tax deductibility of intra-group interest payments.
When income tax was introduced to Ireland in 1853 one of the main deductions was for interest on borrowings. Originally, all interest payments made by a person or a company were tax deductible. Older readers will recall the days when all mortgage interest could be fully offset against your income tax bill. As with mortgage interest, the tax treatment of the interest that companies pay has been significantly eroded.
In the past these restrictions have tended to focus on non-trading interest (so called, 'interest as a charge' provisions). Treasurers will be familiar with the requirements to obtain an interest deduction where their companies are buying new subsidiaries, for example. (And their rules also changed this year as well – see below.)
However, interest on monies borrowed for trading purposes resulted in no significant tax issues. This view has been supported by the Irish Courts in the Ringmahon case (2001). This has now changed with the Finance Act 2011. As would be expected when anyone tries to change over 150 years of tax and commercial practice, the legislation, although short, will have significant unforeseen and complex consequences for all Irish operations and for treasurers in particular. Some clarification has, however, flowed from a Revenue eBrief (11/11) that issued on 15 February.
This members' update is for general information only and should not be regarded as a substitute for tax, legal or other professional advice. Such advice should be taken before acting on or taking steps in relation to matters referred to in this document.Share

As some of you know I'm in the middle of reading Wizard of oz. I had hoped to finish it this month but I don't think it will be likely as I can't seem to bring myself to read anymore of it at the moment but who knows, I've set myself the challenge so I may still do it. I'm about 58% in to it so we will have to see.
A friend e-mailed me last week to tell me about a challenge she had come across and thought I would enjoy. Its the lettermo challenge which I've read about on a few blogs but decided it wasn't for me right now with the way my health is still quite shakey. I do hope to make 30-31 postcards and send them to children on Postpals when I feel up to it, I had planned to do make them over my Christmas holidays for January but it never happened. Hopefully in my next holidays (in 1.5 weeks) I will as I've already bought the stamps.
My friend however has taken part in the lettermo and I received that super cute postcard.
Do you enjoy taking part in challenges?

Man Killed in San Antonio Rollover Accident
A man was killed in a rollover accident in San Antonio, police said, after he lost control of his vehicle, causing it to overturn early Sunday morning.
Police identified the man as 26-year-old Alejandro Sanchez.
No other passengers or vehicles were involved in the rollover accident in San Antonio. Police are still investigating what may have caused Sanchez to lose control of his car on Joint Military Base Road at Lackland Air Force base.
After a rollover accident, it can be easy to look for details or factors that we could have done differently, in order to avoid the injuries and death accompanying such a tragedy. But while many factors can contribute to a rollover accident, sometimes, the very thing that was supposed to protect occupants can be traced as the cause of a rollover crash.
Although technology is transforming and creating much safer vehicles, some auto manufacturers choose to ignore emerging data and information about possible ways of protecting occupants, in order to protect their bottom line. Auto defects, including bad tires, lacking crashworthiness in regards to the roof of a vehicle and even inadequate glass are all just some of the culprits that can fail to protect and restrain occupants during a car accident.
In some circumstances, inadequate roof pillars can fail to protect the space between a passenger's head and the roof, causing serious head injuries and neck injuries as the vehicle overturns and the roof hits the ground, or other surfaces.
If you or someone you love has been seriously injured or killed in an accident, because of auto defects that failed to protect you, call our auto product liability attorneys in San Antonio, Austin, Waco and statewide Texas at 254-870-3621, contact our rollover accident lawyers online or visit one of the 11 office locations for our product liability attorneys in Texas for a free consultation today.
Our team of lawyers, investigators and medical professionals are experienced in compiling evidence regarding the safety failures of a vehicle that result in death or injury. We care. We can help.

Don't Run Out Of Propane This Winter!
We're in for a couple cold months ahead, so if you're looking to stock up on propane for your household needs, then now is the time to do it! At Modern Gas, we believe in propane. It works efficiently, saving you time and money, and it produces less toxins than other heating products in the market. It's also one of the cleanest fuels around and it's affordable, too!
As you can tell, we love propane, and we're excited we have the opportunity to sell and deliver it to countless homes and businesses throughout the Albany area. We urge you to buy now, so that you're set for any bad weather that may show up in the near future. Learn more by giving us a call today!
How To Check Your Tank
If you need to check the status of any tanks you currently have on hand, we can help you out with that. Each tank indicates how much the tank itself weighs and how much propane it can hold. Once you have that information, just weigh it on your bathroom scale, subtract the weight of tank, and there you have it – that's how much propane is left!
For example, if your tank is 20 lbs and it can hold 16 lbs of propane, then a full tank will weigh right around 36 lbs on a bathroom scale. If it's closer to 20, you're running low, and it's time to call on us!
Tips For Proper Storage
When it comes to storing tanks of propane, there are a few important things that you should keep in mind. First of all, never store your tanks indoors – not even in a shed or garage. It may seem like a more convenient and easy way to go about things, but doing so could put your home and family in harm's way, should a leak occur. Not only will loved ones be inhaling toxic fumes… you'll also be at a high risk for fire! It's definitely not worth taking any chances.
Also, be sure to cover your tank, then store it upright and off the ground. This will keep it free from moisture, which could cause rust to form, harming the tank and threatening its overall efficiency. Some worry about keeping the tank outside in extreme colds, but this shouldn't cause any issues. Just follow these tips, and you should be all set this winter!
Modern Gas Is Here For You
Like we said, when it comes to propane delivery and service, we're the team to turn to! Along with this, we sell and install countless gas appliances for your home, as well as firepits, fireplaces, outdoor spas, pergolas, and lots more. Stop on by our showroom for a closer look, and feel free to give our qualified staff a call today – we can answer any and all of your questions! What are you waiting for? Pick up the phone now!

A press release put out by Al Gore in the wake of the speech he gave:
The Administration's response to my speech illustrates perfectly the need for a special counsel to review the legality of the NSA wiretapping program. The Attorney General is making a political defense of the President without even addressing the substantive legal questions that have so troubled millions of Americans in both political parties.
Al Gore has already jumped out in front of any legal review of the President's actions by declaring the whole thing illegal. The details of this program, outside of a few generalities acknowledged by the President, are still a secret. We don't know who was spied on. We don't know what was monitored. Calling for a legal review of the program makes perfect sense. Declaring the program illegal before that investigation has even been started and before all the facts emerge is the action of a man who cares more about making political hay out of this issue than upholding the law.
There are two problems with the Attorney General's effort to focus attention on the past instead of the present Administration's behavior. First, as others have thoroughly documented, his charges are factually wrong. Both before and after the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act was amended in 1995, the Clinton/Gore Administration complied fully and completely with the terms of the law.
Second, the Attorney General's attempt to cite a previous administration's activity as precedent for theirs — even though factually wrong — ironically demonstrates another reason why we must be so vigilant about their brazen disregard for the law. If unchecked, their behavior would serve as a precedent to encourage future presidents to claim these same powers, which many legal experts in both parties believe are clearly illegal.
Nobody is claiming that the Clinton/Gore administration broke the law. What is being pointed out is that the Clinton/Gore administration authorized an intelligence gathering program very similar in method and scope to that authorized by President Bush. This program is called "Echelon" and it includes a keyword computer search of nearly every electonic communication made by Americans.
Gore would like us to believe that he holds the moral high ground in this debate, but he doesn't. The Clinton administration maintained that it had the authority to order warrantless searches, including physical searches, for the purposes of gathering foreign intelligence. CIA spy Aldrich Ames was on the receiving end of one of these searches and could certainly testify to the Clinton administration's broad use of these powers.
The press release continues…
The issue, simply put, is that for more than four years, the executive branch has been wiretapping many thousands of American citizens without warrants in direct contradiction of American law. It is clearly wrong and disrespectful to the American people to allow a close political associate of the president to be in charge of reviewing serious charges against him.
The country needs a full and independent investigation into the facts and legality of the present Administration's program.
Again I'd point out that the details of the program authorized by President Bush remain confidential. What basis does Gore have for saying "thousands of American citizens" have been monitored without warrants? There is no evidence to suggest that any citizens were monitored. The President has acknowledged that people inside the U.S. have had their communications monitored, but that does not neccessarily mean citizens.
Gore seems to be just making some of this stuff up, which is an entirely irresponsible thing for a former VP to do in a time of war. I applaud Gore for his call for a review of this NSA program and would like to see it performed sooner rather than later so that our intelligence agents can get back to their jobs without all this political distraction.
What I can't stomach is Gore's partisan point-scoring.
It might fire up leftist partisans, but it brings little to the debate over this controversy.
I believe that President Bush would be exonnerated by such a review owing to the fact that his actions (what we know of them thus far) are well within the scope of his Article II war powers. Given that he had the approval of the Justice Department, reviewed the program every 45 days and kept the appropriate Congressional leaders from both parties appraised of the program I really don't see much room for law breaking. And if comes out (or is decided by a court) that Bush did break the law then he did so with the approval of members of Congress (both Democrat and Republican) as well.

Can the earth be a 3d spherical shape in our current dimension yet be observable on a 2d plane from a higher dimension?

Through mediation and hallucinogens or just through mediation you can experience seeing the earth as a 2 dimension flat picture. It is a very deep state of meditation but it is achievable through practice. I've only experienced it one time and it blew my mind.

Meet Amundsen Special Education Teacher Benjamin Craig/
This is part of a continuing series of Q&A interviews with the people of Amundsen and Lake View high schools.
Q: What's something few people know about you?
A: Amundsen was not my first teaching position. I taught in Tallahassee, Florida; Kaohsiung, Taiwan; Marathon, Florida; and Ft. Myers, Florida, before returning to Chicago with my wife.
Q: What brought you to your current position? What do you like best about it?
A: I'm currently a special education teacher for Amundsen's cluster program. What I like best about teaching in the cluster program is the incredible students I get to work with every day. We have the opportunity to focus on community-based instruction, and this allows us to explore Chicago with our students.
Q: What was your own high school like? How was it similar or different to the school where you work?
A: I attended Glenbard South High School in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. It is a small public high school with a college preparatory focus and wonderful sports programs. It is similar to Amundsen in that it has incredible teachers who are invested in their students' successes.
Q: What's one thing you wish people know about your school?
A: Amundsen has one of the best and most dedicated staffs I've ever worked with. I've had the opportunity to work in seven different high schools throughout my career, and Amundsen is unique because of the support of your fellow teachers. We are a family here.
Q: Please share one of the best moments you've had working at this school.
A: One of the best moments I've had at Amundsen is getting involved with Special Olympics. The students, coaches, parents, and families that support the program at Amundsen are amazing. Starting in 2014, the program has grown every year and constantly reminds me of our remarkable students.
Q: What advice would you give to a student just starting out at your school?
A: High school is not a sprint; it's a marathon. Start out strong, stay organized, and don't be afraid to try new things.
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

What's going on in the blog world
Wonder what I've been blogging about? Well mainly I've been hanging out at Metroblogging Vancouver where I've been going on about dancing robot cars [mbv] and why I enjoy living in the big city after years getting by in Kelowna [mbv]. Also if you haven't been to the site in awhile there's a brand-spanking-new-design that's rocking the world wide web [mbv].
It's almost cool enough to make me want to re-design this site. If only I knew how to do something like that, as opposed to just using TypePad's templates.

For a Cheap DVD Purchase or Rental, Follow these Tips
Do you watch movies like bookworms devour books? If you do, then aren't you lucky! Cheap DVD is more accessible and affordable now than ever before. Check the following tips and be on your way to movie heaven.
If you are a serial downloader – wink – then you are in need of blank DVDs. Numerous retailers, such as Best Buy, usually have regular weekly special prices and promotions. Find out which days these promotions are usually carried out and time your blank DVD shopping on these days. Stock up on these cheap blank DVDs so you'll never run out.
If you are the rental type, I have even better news for you. You can actually rent a cheap DVD without leaving the comforts of your own home. Choose from tens of thousands of DVD titles, and keep these DVDs for as long as you want without paying overdue fees! This is possible with the right rental companies you can find online.
Netflix, Blockbuster, and DVD Avenue are just some of the many online rental companies that can offer you these amazing rental deals. You can choose from various options of rental plans that you can customize to match your movie preferences. You can receive the titles for as short as 1-2 days and you won't have to worry about shipping fees because these are already included in your monthly fees!
If you are a more traditional type when it comes to renting out movies, take a walk or drive around your neighborhood and check out local rental stores. Choose one that can offer the best possible deal on cheap DVD. Rental price is just one of the many factors you need to consider. More than the price, choose a rental store that has extensive title selections. Remember, cheap rental fees become insignificant if you find out that you have seen most of the movies in their collection. I always used Hollywood Video and I would sign up for their one month plan. Call me crazy, but I would watch 30 movies in one month for around 16 bucks. Then, I'd wait several months to buy the plan again after they had stocked up on new movies I hadn't seen. It may be hard to find one of these stores now days, because it seems everyone is going the online route.
Finally, if you are the serious movie collector type, there are online bargain sites that can offer you amazing deals for cheap DVD purchases. You can check out eBay for both new and used titles for less than $5 dollars. Amazon is also a popular choice, albeit more expensive. Columbia House DVD is also another excellent choice; if you are a member in Columbia's club, you will not only have access to its member's only selection, you will also enjoy big discounts to boot.

"Decision to Leave" Magnolia Plantation on the Cane River, Louisiana
"Wading Prior to Blackness" Grant Parish, Louisiana
"The Underground Railroad was America's first Civil Rights Movement," says photographer Jeanine Michna-Bales, who has spent the past ten years plus researching the railroad for her project Through Darkness to Light. Finding that there were few visual records of the secret stations along the escape route, she herself traced the steps taken by many of the 100,000 slaves between the Southern plantations of Louisiana to the border of Canada, where slavery was prohibited. Along the way, she creates an archive of historical sites both famous and obscure, discovered through academic inquiry at historical societies and oral histories passed down through generations.

As recently as last week, it was announced that a company in India was selling a smartphone at the unbelievable price of $4. Does this sound too good to be true? That's because it probably is.
The phone is called the Freedom 251 and it is a 3G Android with a 1.3 GHz quad-core processor, 1,450 mAh battery, 4-inch 960 x 540 qHD display, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage and a 3.2-megapixel camera. Admittedly these are not astounding specs, they are considering the price of the device: 251 rupees, or US$3.67.
But after selling around 30,000 units, the company that produced the device is being accused of fraud by congressman Pramod Tiwari. And he is not the only one who seems to think this way – another MP, Kirit Somaiya, called the entire thing a Ponzi scam and even asked for the government to investigate the matter further. Even Pankaj Mohindroo, founder and president of the Indian Cellular Association, believes that even if the company where to use the cheapest materials available, a phone like the Freedom 251 would still cost at least $40.
The device has been surrounded by controversy from the start, when the prototype they showed at the launch event turned out to be another company's phone, a Chinese phone called the Adcom Ikon 4. And this phone did not even look like the photos available on the website, with the company later claiming that this was just to give people an idea of what the actual phone would look like, and that the devices had Adcom branding because they were the ones who provided the screen. Moreover, the company does not even have a factory yet, although they promised to ship the phone by June. Put the government raid on top of that and it seems like this is starting to look like a scam by the minute.
As of recent, the manufacturer, Ringing Bells Pvt. Ltd., announced that is is not taking any new orders for this particular device.

Sarah Àlainn
Biography Sarah Àlainn
Sarah Àlainn
grew up in Sydney, Australia to a father, a diplomat, and a musician for a mother. At the age of five she began playing violin, and by the time she was six her talent was discovered by Australian violinist Perry Hart, the star pupil of Szymon Goldberg, the legendary violinist who at the young age of 20 became the concertmaster for the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. After winning a number of national contests, Sarah enrolled at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music where she studied under Polish violinist, Wanda Wilkomirska.
From childhood she also demonstrated a talent for singing, her vocal range spanning over 3 octaves. At 14 she auditioned for an operetta at the conservatory, where she was cast as the leading role of Mabel in The Pirates of Penzance. From that moment she began formal singing lessons under Australian soprano, Paula Clarkestone.
In 2006, Sarah enrolled at the University of Sydney under BA Arts Languages degree, where she studied linguistics and music (performance, composition and music theory). In the same year, she was inducted into the Golden Key International Honour Society, offered only to students demonstrating excellence within the top 10% in the world. In 2007, she was awarded the Sarah Theresa Makinson composition prize from the music department, as well as the Walter Reid Memorial Award for academic achievement. For two consecutive years, she was awarded the academic merit prize for the highest performing undergraduate, and in 2010 Sarah graduated with a High Distinction average.
While eagerly pursuing her studies, Sarah was active as a violinist playing at the Sydney Parliament House, as well as the Sydney and Brisbane town halls alongside world-famous opera singers such as Yvonne Kenny (Soprano) and José Carbó (Baritone). Her performance as a guest musician in the documentary feature film on Charles Billich was aired on SBS.
In 2008, Sarah was among 25 students selected from all over the world to participate in an exchange program at the University of Tokyo.
Alongside her studies, Sarah made use of her talent for languages (including fluency in English, Japanese and Italian) for translating children's picture books as well as working as a freelance copywriter for international advertising agency, M&CSaatchi Japan. This activity included the publication of a translation of the Japanese picture book 'Ore Dare' (by Kodansha Ltd) under the title 'Who? Me!'. The picture book is distributed by Mitsubishi Corporation who delivers books to children across the globe. The book was then releasesed as an audio e-book in China as well as an interactive storybook app for ios with Sarah narrating on both these items.
In Japan, Sarah performed the much talked about vocals in the ending theme 'Beyond the Sky' of the Nintendo Wii game "Xenoblade", composed by Yasunori Mitsuda. Other notable works include the theme of the Square Enix iPhone game "Chaos Rings Ω", and her contribution as both lyricist and vocalist for the main theme of the game "Time Travelers" produced by Level 5 and composed by Hideki Sakamoto.
In 2012, Sarah signed a record deal with Universal Music Japan. Her debut album Celeste was released the same year and reached #1 on the iTunes Japan Vocal chart. Sarah has also been involved in the music for various TV commercials including SONYα7, Mitsubishi Corporation and Sunwa Shutter where she acts as a singer, violinist, lyricist and composer.

Submit a Workshop: The process of selecting workshops for the weekend begins in the Fall of 2018 with the Workshop Submission Process. There are two online forms to submit a workshop. The first form covers information about the workshop, and the second form covers information about the presenter/s. Presenters submit just one presenter form but may submit as many workshop forms as they would like to offer for consideration. Submissions will be accepted until 12/16/2018.
Workshop Review: After the closing date, a team of reviewers read and score each workshop application (see criteria below) individually and submit their scores. The review committee meets, discusses their ratings and creates a recommendation list of their top picks for the 2019 IMsLBB Weekend. The recommendations are reviewed by the Education team for final selection, which includes a stand-by list.
Invitation to Present: Presenters will be notified in early January by the Education team if their workshops have been accepted, if they would be willing to be put on a waiting list or if their workshops were not accepted. When you accept the invitation from the Education Team, your workshops and you, as the presenter(s), will be added to the IMsLBB.org website. Scheduling should be final by 2/6/2018.
This email will request any additional information on your workshop and provide details on how to use your complimentary basic registration for the weekend (see benefits for more details). If you are returning top presenter, your email will also include details on how to use your complimentary hotel night in which case, you will be required to send in your hotel confirmation number. As such, be sure to register for the IMsLBB Weekend and book your hotel room as quickly as possible.
Presenter Webinars:
· Workshop Submittal Information Webinar - If you have never submitted a workshop or just want to learn more about the process, join the Education team for an information call on 11/6/2018 that is open to everyone. During the hour call, we will review this process and provide some suggestions and insights on what the reviewers the Education team are looking for in the submissions. This session will be recorded in case you can't attend or for later reference, and the link posted on the workshop page.
· 2019 Presenter Webinar – For all confirmed presenters, an informational webinar will be held on 3/20/2019 to discuss what to consider when presenting at the IMsLBB Weekend and to ensure you have all the information you need to be successful. The webinar will be recorded, and the link will be sent to you after the webinar if you can't make it.
Please review the guidelines in the Selection Criteria section before you begin the submission process. Thank you in advance for being part of the education process!

NSWNA committee of delegates gave the green light for a statewide strike by public health system nurses and midwives.
The NSWNA committee of delegates (COD) unanimously voted for a statewide strike by public health system members on Wednesday, 24 November.
At a COD meeting on 16 November, more than 250 workplace delegates, representing nurses and midwives from hospitals, health services and aged care facilities throughout the State, passed a resolution (see box) giving the go ahead for strike action.
Delegates voted that on 24 November nurses and midwives would provide life-preserving services at all times, but would reduce services to current night duty staffing levels at each facility for the period generally between 7am and 5pm.
NSWNA General Secretary Brett Holmes told delegates, 'After numerous meetings, the NSW Government is still rejecting the NSWNA claim for mandated nurse-to-patient ratios.
'We have no choice but to escalate our action,' said Brett Holmes.
In the days following the delegates' meeting, NSWNA members at NSW public hospitals and community health services voted on whether their facility would join the statewide strike and, if so, for how long.
The following resolution proposing strike action was passed by NSWNA delegates on 16 November.
'This meeting of the NSWNA Committee of Delegates representing nurses and midwives from across NSW asks the Council of the Association to call a Special General Meeting and strike of public health system members (excluding Affiliated Health Organisations) on Wednesday 24 November.
'Our industrial action is a last resort in response to the State Government's refusal to implement mandated minimum nurse-to-patient ratios, which will provide safer patient care, and its refusal to provide a pay and conditions offer without unfair strings attached.
'We condemn the Government for its intransigence during months of negotiations and its refusal to employ enough nurses and midwives to provide safer levels of care for NSW residents.
'Unlike the Victorian Labor Government, which last week announced improvements to its mandated nurse-to-patient ratios, the NSW Labor Government refuses to guarantee nurse staffing levels.
'Our Government is also refusing to employ 1,000 Registered Nurses who will graduate from NSW universities this month and forces hospital managers to restrict recruitment of nurses and midwives to meet budgets rather than patients' needs.
'On 24 November nurses and midwives will provide life-preserving services at all times, but will reduce services to current night duty staffing levels at each facility for the period generally between 7am and 5pm. The Special General Meeting will hear a report back from the Association leadership on any developments in negotiations for safer patient care and recommend the next steps in the campaign.'
You'll automatically become a member of the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation

Health Systems Impact Fellowships
On October 2, 2017, Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor announced $5.8M from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and partners to support 46 new PhD candidates and postdoctoral fellows through the Health System Impact Fellowship (HSIF) Program during an event at Rekai Centre in Toronto, Ontario.
The HSIF Program is a core component of a three-pronged multi-year training modernization funding initiative that stems from the Canadian Health Services and Policy Research Alliance's (CHSPRA's) Training Modernization Strategy.
The Fellowship provides highly qualified individuals with a doctorate degree in health services and policy research, or related fields, a unique opportunity to apply their research and analytic talents to critical challenges in health system and related organizations outside of the traditional scholarly setting (e.g., public, private for-profit, not-for-profit, and Indigenous health organizations that are not universities or research-focused institutes), and to develop professional experience, new skills, and networks. Fellows will be exposed to how the health system and related organizations work, how decisions are made, and how research and analytic skills can contribute to an organization's performance. These awards provide fellows with a paid experiential learning opportunity within such organizations where they will dedicate between 70-100% of their time. Flexibility in the time commitment will enable fellows to make meaningful contributions to an employer's program of work, become immersed in the culture and operations of the organization, and benefit from mentorship by executive leaders, while also making it possible to set aside a portion of their time for academic research. Fellows' experiential learning will also be enhanced through three unique training opportunities:
- Professional development training in an expanded set of competencies (e.g., leadership, negotiation, project management, change management) designed to accelerate their professional growth and better prepare them to embark on a wider range of career paths with greater impact;
- Participation in a national cohort of fellows and leaders from academic and health system and related organizations; and
- Networking and mentorship opportunities with health system and academic leaders from across the country.
The program gives PhD candidates and postdoctoral fellows the chance to undertake experiential learning opportunities in health care organizations across Canada and is sponsored by the CIHR Institute of Health Services and Policy Research (IHSPR) in collaboration with the Institute of Aging (IA), the Institute of Aboriginal Peoples' Health (IAPH), the Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory Health (ICRH), the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR),the Institute of Infection and Immunity (III), the Institute of Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes (INMD), the Institute of Population and Public Health (IPPH), and CIHR's Science, Knowledge Translation and Ethics (SKTE) Branch in partnership with the Fonds de recherche du Québec –Santé (FRQS), the New Brunswick Health Research Foundation (NBHRF) and Mitacs.

5 Best Party Favor Ideas For A Boy's Birthday Party
As someone once wrote:-"A boy is Truth with dirt on its face, Beauty with a cut on its finger,
Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair, and the Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket".
Little boys bring so much joys and excitement into our lives. Their birthdays surely deserve a grand celebration. After all, the birthday boy gets a lot of gifts while getting to enjoy time with his friends and loved ones. While it is a chore, the parents also love having parties. After all, it gives them the opportunity to have a get together while loving the fact that their son is having a great time.
Of course, a party is never a party unless there are guests. As the host, you will surely have planned out the various aspects of the party to make sure that the guests have a good time. This includes making the right dishes for the guests, planning the activities and decorating the venue. However, you should also take some time to think about the party favors. After all, they are a great way to show your appreciation for the presence of the guests at your home.
On the other hand, it can be extremely confusing to choose return gifts from the wide range of options available. It is quite difficult to find something that everyone will love. Here are some of the best return gift ideas that you can use.
1. School Stationery
If the kids at your boy's birthday party are all young and of school-going age then this is an excellent choice. Of course, you will have several choices. A good idea would be to choose an affordable pencil box and fill it with pencils and erasers. These days, you can get all kinds of pencil boxes and pouches featuring cartoon characters, superheroes and more. The children at the party are certain to love them.
2. Books
As a return gift, books can be a fantastic choice. There are quite a number of books that you can get. You can easily get some ideas by going through reading lists for children. You are sure to find several inexpensive but interesting books in any list. If the children are particularly young, you should get them picture books with interesting illustrations.
3.Action Figures
Nearly all boys love action figures. However, this can be a little tricky. You will have to find out the characters that the boys are currently fond of. After all, their likes tend to change every time a new movie or TV show comes out.
4. Watches or Clocks
If you have the budget to spare, you can consider getting watches for the kids or cute little clocks they can keep in their room. Boys love wearing watches since they make them feel older and more mature. As with other return gifts for kids, you have lots of options when it comes to these.
5. Colors and Coloring books
Kids of all ages love to color. It is something that can keep them engaged for hours and also give a boost to their creativity and imagination. Crayons and coloring books are available in a lot of sizes and price points. So you can choose the one that suits you best.

Why my tulips and daffodils did not come up, no foliage

Almost all flower bulbs need to be replanted every year. At the end of each growing season, dig up the bulb, place in a cool dry place to dry out. Store for winter; replant in the spring

New Human Growth Hormone products available for saleRead More »
We are starting our Steroids Summer Sale today. It will last till july 31, 2016 so hurry up to take advantage of these low prices on all steroids products we have for sale.Read More »
Substance: Testosterone Suspension
Manufacturer: Balkan Pharmaceuticals
Packing: 5 x 1 ml amps (100 mg/ml)
Aquatest is an injectable androgenic anabolic steroid made by Balkan Pharmaceuticals. Testosterone suspension is a water based steroid which contains the hormone testosterone with no esters in it. This makes it a very powerfull anabolic agent since 100 mg actually contains 100 mg of steroids unlike esterified tetosterones like enanthate in which we can find only 72 mg of testosterone and the rest is the enanthate ester. Although Aquatest is a rather raw compound, it proves to be very effective. The same like injectable stanozolol, testosterone suspension does not easily disolve in water.
The steroid will separate from water if the bottle is left to sit for a while. This is why the vial should be shaken before use to ensure an even distribution of the active substance. Most of the bodybuilders consider testosterone suspension a particularly potent anabolic androgenic agent esspecialy when it comes to mass increase. The main reason for it's potency is that this steroid starts acting in a few hours after injection unlike with long ester testosterones when the gains will be seen in a few weeks. The fast entery in the blood stream of Aquatest requires injections every day or every other day.
It still acts after 2-3 days but for best rezults bodybuilders should keep blood leveles elevated all the time, that's why injections must be done every day or at least every other day. One more distinction between Aquatest and other esterified testosterones, as stated above, is the amount of pure steroid. The same as with winstrol some believe that it will provide a certain level of gain to the area it was injected. This also contributed to the increase of popularity of this product.
First of all I would like to say that Aquatest is not the best choice for a newbie in the steroid world. Using this product safe requires some skills and experience due to the side effects which will probably occur at a higher rate then with other esterified testosterones. Another difficulty is the site injection and rotate injection sites. The average dosage is 50-100 mg, depending on the needs of the person, and in most cases it is injected every day. Some individuals might use this steroid for cutting cycles but for this porpuse there are better choices and Aquatest will be more useful as a bulking agent.
For better results in the matter of gains and side effects ratio, testosterone suspension should be used in a stack with other less androgenic steroids such a nandrolone decanoate or boldenone undeclynate at a dosage of 300-400 mg/week. Like with testosterone enanthate or cypionate one can add an oral bulking agent like dianabol or oxymetholone in order to feel the gains from the very beginning. But since Aquatest starts having effect a lot more sooner then other esterified testosterones and the results will be realized from the beginning the need in this steroids is not that big. Due to the high risk of side effects to occur, an anti-estrogen like nolvadex should be kept at hand all the time.
More sensitive to estrogens or prudent individual might want to include in their cycle such ancillaries as proviron or arimidex. This products are aromatase blockers and will help with keeping the estrogen level as low as possible. Proviron should be enough to use for post cycle therapy with all kinds of testosterones but for those predisposed to androgenic side effects a better choice would be armidex which is stronger but at the same time more expensive. One more point that needs to be discussed here is the testosterone's feature to supress the endogenous testosterone production.
Those concerned of these side effects must use HCG and clomid or nolvadex to restore body's natural testosterone production. The best cource for this proved to be 3000-5000 iu of hcg for the last 2 weeks of the cycle and the next 2 weeks after the cycle is finished injected once in 5-6 days. Clomid should be started at day 4-5 after the last injection with Aquatest at a dosage of 40-50 mg/day for 2 weeks and for the next 2 weeks at a dose of 20-25 mg/day.
Please log in to write review
From these four types of steroids, the most usually used are oral and injectable anabolic steroids treatments. Steroids are also called AAS (anabolic-androgenic steroids) and some of their street or slang names are juice, roids, fakes or basement drugs – counterfeit or fake steroids. This types of drugs are typically used by the professional or non professional athletes and young persons in order to develop and grow their muscle mass or increase testosterone production.Read More »
Despite the fact that buying steroids online and using them is illegal in most of the countries, this is becoming more and more popular every day. Anabolic drugs are the easiest and fastest way to obtain a lot of strength and muscle gains and also it is the way to obtain bigger results then if you'd been gaining muscles the natural way.Read More »
Growing popularity with athletes and those who are interested in body building has lead to more men seeking to buy anabolics. The proliferation of Internet sites that sell steroidal drugs allows men to buy them online with assurance. The purchase of such hormones online continue to increase, particularly amongst athletes, body builders and weight lifters. For teenagers with a strong desire to be perceived as muscular and strong, the incentive to purchase juice is overwhelming in three or four out of every one hundred males.Read More »

Panic (1982)
WRITERS: Story and screenplay by Jaime Comas and Victor A. Catena
DIRECTOR: Anthony Richmond
STARRING: David Warbeck as Captain Kirk
Janet Agren as Jane Blake
Roberto Ricci as Professor Adams
Jose R. Lifante as Sergeant O'Brien
Jose Maria Labernie as Colonel Rudridge
Franco Ressel as Mr. Milton
QUICK CUT: When a professor gets lost on a fishing trip, a man is called in to find him, as an entire community worries and unravels because of his absence.
Kirk - A military man, who knows how to get things done, but also an understanding sort, and not willing to sacrifice people for the greater good.
Jane - An assistant in the lab where things go wrong.
O'Brien - A local policeman who gets dragged into things.
Adams - Very little is known about him before he gets turned into a zombie. He likes fishing!
THE GUTS: Welcome back, Triskelions! I'm taking it easy in September, and grabbed something randomly from the pile of 50 pack movies, called Panic. And bonus, if that doesn't ring a bell, you might know it as one of the many "Zombie" movies. Heck, you might know it as one of the many movies named Zombie 3! Take my bit of advice, don't look into the "Zombie" series. The numbers are made up and make no sense.
Anywho, Panic kicks off with mice getting into a fight, but despite all their rage...ahem. This is apparently bad, and Jane calls in an alert to clean things up due to risk of contamination.
Men in suits rush in to take care of the potential outbreak or whatever, but not before we see some guy screaming with a melting face.
After the accident, Jane and Vince present their report to the administrators, and everyone more or less agrees to sweep it under the rug. No need to *ahem* Panic the populace with their unregulated experiments, and it was contained, so let's just cover up the whole affair and keep quiet! That can't possibly come back to bite us in the brain!
Since that's all well in hand, we follow a young couple, sneaking off to have an affair of their own, but that gets shortly interrupted when Zombie Adams bashes into the car window, drags Lucas out and kills him. Betty tries to escape, but the cameraman makes her scream and we cut away. It's later confirmed she's dead.
So yeah, great job at containing that infection guys, top notch!
Apparently the infected dude was Professor Adams, and he's gone missing...but that's not unheard of, as he likes to pull a Jack O'Neill and go fishing all the time.
The government wants to make sure everything is fine at the chemical plant, and send over Captain Kirk to check things out and look for Adams, because he is responsible for 430 crewmembers aboard his ship, mister!
While Kirk starts investigating, the local cops find the dead bodies of the couple, so this is gonna get out sooner or later...
Kirk and Jane head over to Adams' home to see if he might be there, because logic. But all his fishing gear is still there, but they do point out his military jacket is missing so if this was in better quality, you could identify him...and they also find a dead body.
Back at the lab, Kirk is thinking the disappearance, Henry doing his best impression of the hanged man, and the random murders are all connected. No real reason, save for why not?
Kirk is then introduced to Sargeant O'Brien and oh come on, how do you not expect me to make Star Trek jokes??
The group meet to discuss their findings, and the movie cuts RAPIDLY from face to face to face and back. SLOW DOWN! Editing bad. Here, have a gif of it, in just as close to real time.
One of the other scientists comes in with a report that the computer churned through with all their available data to tell them the results of Adams' experiments are...inconclusive. Thanks for telling us NOTHING.
So they decide to start a manhunt for Adams, since there isn't much time what with him being infected and all, and this could spread rapidly. I guess. Things being inconclusive allow them to be pretty damned vague.
Elsewhere in the city, Adams is crashing into someone's house to pull a Psycho on a poor girl in the shower. So, he's largely gonna be a faceless, personalityless killer who kills randomly. Great.
Fortunately, Adams is leaving 'green stuff' at the various crime scenes, so they can connect them that way. Also, there's hardly any blood at either of the crime scenes. So either the killer is a neat freak or...or...HE'S A VAMPIRE WITH A HEAD COLD!
With all the weirdness with the green stuff, the wounds being animal like, and there being strange burns that could be a reaction to the snot, or maybe radiation, the medical examiner concludes the killer must be a mutant.
Sigh. Once again, mutants getting a bad rap by a world that hates and fears them.
A group of doctors meet to confer about their own findings, and report back to the head of the Colonel Rudridge. They've found a virus, and they declare it to be indestructible and very dangerous. We don't know WHY it's dangerous, since no one ever says. I mean, yes, Adams is melting all over town and killing people, but it seems pretty handleable so far.
Once the doctor reports his findings and buggers off, the colonel and friend discuss things further and decide they must scrub the Floromer plan, and enact PLAN Q!
NO! NOT PLAN Q!! ...What's a Plan Q?
The military starts rolling into Newton, and I start to have flashbacks to A*P*E. Fortunately, it's nowhere near as long or repetitive. For now, it looks like the town is going to be placed under quarantine, to stop anything from spread. Which it has completely failed to do, so no worries.
With the military moving in, they start to clamp down on everything, from the media, to taking out the phone lines, and making sure no word spreads. Which is spreading better than the virus, I must say...
Also, Kirk gets authorised to use his gun, if need be, to stop things from getting worse. There is a LOT of talk about the lethality of this virus, but I just am not seeing it. For a zombie apocalypse, this is pretty tame. It's one guy!
Kirk and O'Brien track Adams into the sewers, which makes sense for him staying out of sight. Adams isn't too far ahead, and comes up in a theatre to wreak some havoc.
Adams is behind the movie screen, in the stage area, and as the music gets annoying, he starts trashing the place. Look, dude, if you don't like the movie just leave, no need to make a scene!
He finally tears through the screen, causing a *ahem* Panic at the theatre, and everyone runs out, save for the one woman he grabs and kills.
The cops arrive, too late, and after all this talk of how deadly and dangerous the virus is, Kirk points at one of the theatre seats with a smear of blood on it and goes, "Look, blood! *touchtouchtouch!" And then makes it worse when they poke and grab the dead girl in the back.
Outside, the panicked theatre goers are demanding an explanation, but the cops are just doing their usual, nothing to see here, move along, head home, la la la!
The noose tightens more around the city, so now the citizens are trapped in their with the killer, and eventually Adams heads over the church to make his confession, or kill more people.
As the priest does his best to protect the children and keep them safe, Adams brays like a donkey outside, and smashes the occasional window. Eventually Adams breaks in, and grabs one of the escaping kids. The priest grabs a candle and burns the monster, and gets killed for it, sacrificing himself to buy the children time.
Meanwhile, the people are getting restless and dangerous, getting ready to go at the soldiers maintaining the roadblocks and...sigh.
This seems like an awful big to-do over one guy killing a handful of people. There doesn't seem to be a viral spread, like a zombie outbreak. I get wanting to stop him, but all this talk of the unprecedented Plan Q, going on about the virus, worried about panicing the townsfolk...it all seems largely unwarranted. Maybe have him infect a few others, you don't need much! Just enough to get the idea that yeah, this is gonna spread.
Also, it would've been nice to meet the pre-infected Adams, so maybe we gave a crap about who he was and what he's become. The movie so far is largely missing chunks of stuff that would make a perfectly fine idea better and make sense.
We get a confrontation between the military and the townsfolk, and you can assume where that goes, as the roadblocks stay intact.
Adams busts in on the government official we've been following most of the movie, gets shot at, and keeps on a-comin' so he kills the Milton.
Back at the lab, they're doing experiments on the guinea pig that was also infected during the accident, and they even outright say, "Isn't Adams the only person infected?" Then what's the worry?? He's been growling and killing for a few days now. I know there's incubation periods, but c'mon.
Kirk decides the only solution is to kill Adams, which...duh. Kill the only one infected, and stop Plan Q.
He tracks the doctor back to the theatre, and finds the body of the British Buck Flower he killed...er, drunk wino. Kirk also finds the mutant as they have a bit of a fight.
But now that they've found his sewer subway system, they start to close off all the entrances, blocking him in, and limiting his avenues of escape. "There's no way he can get out of here, you can be sure of that!"
Mmm, tasty tasty hubris.
Meanwhile, a plane is taking off to take care of the town and...NUKING THE TOWN FROM ORBIT SEEMS OVERLY EXCESSIVE!! As I have laid out before. If you're gonna go THERE, you gotta earn it. This is the equivalent of bombing Boston because of a strangler.
So they have a cure, but it won't be ready before the bombs drop, and Kirk heads off to take care of the doctor.
Down in the sewers, Adams is getting angry at all his doors being bricked up, and he wasn't even promised a cask of amontillado for it.
As the plane draws closer and gets ready to dive into the town, Kirk and O'Brien stalk around down in the sewers as gas is used to flush out Adams.
The gas is starting to get to be too much for most of the cops, leaving only the two guys who got credit in the opening titles to remain. Even though one of them was JUST shown smoking, so you'd think he'd have a harder time!
And surprise! Jane snuck down there too, since she's sure she can help the doctor without killing him, despite being told to stay at the lab. She offers him the cure, and he begs for her to kill him, and then help him once she explains she can try and help him.
Oh, and the radios the cops are using to coordinate in the sewers are having trouble all of a sudden, just so they can ramp the tension up that tiny bit more when they kill Adams and try to contact the plane before it destroys them all.
Which is exactly what happens when Kirk shows up to bugger the attempts to cure, and angry, crazed Adams attacks. O'Brien barges in, sees the attack, assumes the worst and fires. They blast the guy with a fire extinguisher a few times and...that works? Okay.
As the movie nears its conclusion, it actually puts up a ticking clock, and it's one of the worst ones. Because it's the time, and all you see is hours and minutes. I can see where the seconds SHOULD be, just off the screen, so this might be more effective in widescreen.
But knowing things are going to go to hell at 4:50 when the pilots bail out so the plane can crash and destroy the town...it kinda neuters any tension when the only thing you see moving is the minutes.
However, Kirk gets to a phone, and calls in that the doctor is dead Jim, and the pilots are notified. They laugh in relief that they won't be murdering an entire town. I understand that kind of reaction, but at the same time...
The only way that could have gone worse is if they freeze framed the laugh. This WAS the 80s, after all.
Video: Well, it's a 50 Packer so it doesn't look great. The blacks are grey, the colours are washed out, and if this had been widescreen, the tension might have been more effective in the end.
Audio: Not great. Half of it sounds overdubbed, and probably is, on top of being a cheap transfer.
Body Count: For one guy, Adams does a fair job, although still not a big enough one to sacrifice an entire town.
1 - Eight minutes in and ascot man Lucas gets killed and yanked out a car window
2 - Betty dies off screen
3 - Dead Henry dangling around
4 - Woman dies in the shower.
5 - Dead body at the theatre
6 - Dead priest on some spikes
7 - Kills the government dude.
8 - Kills the bum
9 - Professor Adams gets extinguished. FIRE extinguished.
Best Corpse: I'm kinda partial to the sudden randomness of yanking Lucas out of the car at the start.
Blood Type - C: It's got some blood here and there, but a lot of it is hidden or off screen, and the creature effects are okay.
Drink Up! Every time Adams kills someone.
Video Nasties: A short bit of the final confrontation, with some fun pulsing makeup effects.
Movie Review: I can see the germs of a good idea or two in there. I mentioned a few times how they needed to do MORE. They really needed to sell the ideas better, to really make things work. It's not terrible in the ideas department, but it needed a lot more work, and more meat to the idea. Even just one more infected. Warbeck is pretty good in his role as Kirk, and he makes the most of the role. Adams is largely an unknown with no rhyme or reason to his actions. A lot of missed opportunities, that could have been much more with minimal effort. Not even being a hasty Italian/Spanish cashin creation could save it. Two out of five melting faces.
Entertainment Value: It's not the most entertaining movie, but it has its moments. The overdubbing is fun as always, the low budget nature, the kills are fun, the jump from "someone died...DESTROY THE TOWN!" is mind bogglingly sudden, and I love it. The worst thing is, other movies do almost every bit of fun here, better. Three out of five crashing planes.

Button, Button - January 20, 2019
State Representative David Perryman
What do Louisa Mae Alcott's "Little Men," "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory," David Bowie in "Labrynth," and Walt Disney's version of "Alice in Wonderland" all have in common? They all contain a reference to the age old children's game, "Button, Button, who's got the Button? Over the past 150 years, very few of us made it past elementary school without confronting the task of attempting to locate that evasive, hidden button.
Over the past decade, Oklahoma's education budget has given Button, Button a whole new perspective. With daily attendance being a primary factor in the "game" of school funding, the concept of whether a student is "present" or "absent" can literally shift millions of education dollars from some schools to others. With that much money in the balance, it is inevitable that rules are stretched, twisted and sometimes broken.
For brick and mortar schools, the concept of being present or absent at school has remained constant for a hundred years or more. At the beginning of a school day and at every class period throughout the day, a student is either present or absent or tardy. With the advent of "virtual" schools facts get a little fuzzy.
According to a 2016 Oklahoma Watch article by Jennifer Palmer, "With no seats to fill and no roll to call, 'attendance' in virtual education takes on a different meaning." In fact Palmer reported that in the previous year, every single one of the state's virtual charter schools reported near perfect attendance with two, including the state's largest, reporting 100 percent attendance for the entire school…FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR!!!!
Now we're not talking a drop in the bucket. Last year, virtual charter schools reported a statewide combined K-12 enrollment of nearly 12,000 students.
The natural question is, why should Oklahomans care? Fact is, so long as funding of our public schools is based at least in part on daily attendance and so long as virtual charter schools are allowed to establish their own method of counting attendance, schools that are able to use it for their benefit will, all to the financial detriment of those public brick and mortar schools who will consequently receive a smaller piece of the same funding pie.
While proponents, like the Epic Virtual Charter School Superintendent have been quoted as saying, "When they're enrolled in an online course, they are considered in attendance; we just follow the law," holding virtual charter schools accountable by changing the law may be more difficult than it would seem. In November 2018, Palmer, in another Oklahoma Watch article, reported that supporters of the state's largest virtual charter school had "ramped up" political contributions to elected officials to the tune of at least $145,000, arguably to keep in place status quo policies that harm "brick and mortar schools" across the state.
For instance, the founders of Epic made donations that included "a combined $23,800 for State Superintendent Joy Hofmeister and more than $11,000 to State Attorney General Mike Hunter." Other recipients included Governor Kevin Stitt and more than 50 legislative candidates.
This session, Sen. Ron Sharp, a former teacher from Shawnee has filed Senate Bill 56 in a push for more transparency in the truth behind attendance numbers. The Bill would require virtual charters to submit attendance records of enrolled students to the student's resident district. Sen. Sharp hopes to eliminate the current situation where hundreds of kids are falling through the system and no one knows where they are.
How far his bill will go remains to be seen. Much depends on whether virtual charter schools will be made accountable regarding attendance numbers or if their generous and well placed political contributions will allow them to perpetuate a costly and wasteful version of Button, Button, Who's Got the Button?

This technology was originally envisioned as a sustainable way to desalinate ocean water to create fresh water for human and agricultural use.
This novel technology works by mixing air and water which lowers the fluid pressure at depth, and thus the temperature required to boil water. High Ground temperature availability is the limiting factor in the current application of geothermal energy, meaning Triton Technology can be located in almost any location around the world.
In addition economic feasibility is increased, as the drilling depth of the system is reduced by three times, lowering the cost substantially.
With today's oil well drilling technology this technology can be put to immediate effect. A 6500 Acre-Foot per year system can be implemented for $40M, providing water and food for 5,000 people on 8,500 acres of land. In addition to nutrients the system also provides enough power for people to live with many modern conveniences.
Triton systems can terraform arid uninhabitable places like North Africa. This space can be created for refugees from wars, climate change, and overpopulation.
There are few clear upper limits to this technology. Man made rivers are entirely possible with vast capacity providing food and water to all.

Why the PokerStars Mobile App is Worth Downloading and Playing
We thought to take a different tip this time, by assuming you're already pretty familiar with PokerStars, either on your computer or mobile. What we will do is take closer looks at some finer points in this fine system. The result will be a few very good reasons indeed to take PokerStars seriously.
Play Texas Hold'em for FREE Now!!
Our overall impression of the PokerStars website? It's tastefully low-key with an elegant, dark-toned colour palette. The polish and sophistocation of this gaming provider is rather obvious as soon as you begin looking around or registering.
This is the company that just made an agreement with the US government to take over its rival, Full Tilt, and so scored a pole position in online gambling's legalization in many parts of the USA.
Without further ado, let's dive into some finer points about playing at PokerStars, which should save you some time in the near future, while highlighting the graces of this major online-poker source.
Your Avatar
If you've been searching around in the PokerStars-mobile app to find a way of uploading a new or first picture of yourself … yes, you can do it, but you must do it using your computer. Keep in mind that it's necessary for PS to moderate new photos, so that its playing environment stays high-class — you'll have to wait up to five days.
Computer vs Mobile Device
In a nutshell, PokersStars is the same whether you play online or with your phone or tablet: you play the same Hold'em and Omaha games. The main differences in the mobile app are that:
- there is no cashier
- the Home Games feature is absent
- you cannot call up a chat moderator
- you canot jot something down with player notes
You are, however, potentially playing a huge number of poker stars because the online-computer and online-mobile players are pooled together, all having the same rights and standing. If you like poker and are on facebook, this could be the game for you.
Search? Huh?!
The mobile app has a search field that you may have been wondering about. What does it search, exactly? Well, if you're one of those clever players who notes or memorizes tournament numbers then you can dart straight to them using this search. Or, if you're looking for fellow players, that's the direct tool to find them at whatever tables are striking their fancies.
How Does 'Play Now' Work?
The prospect of getting lumped in with some weirdos or card sharks may not sound too good if you were considering a kind of instant or random play function, which is what 'Play Now' sounds like. Take a look at some excellent slot games here.
It does take you straight into play. But, you're not just thrown in, friends! You will be found a table just like the last one you sat at, according to your own table-selection filters.

Where Should Your Students Begin?
On their journey to becoming proficient and confident writers, your students experience many different moments that impact how they see themselves. One that happens to many new student writers goes something like this: they're handed a blank sheet of paper and the directions, "Write."
How can that possibly make them feel as writers?
In many cases, they're going to feel overwhelmed. What are they supposed to write about? Where do they start?
With Writing with Design, we encourage teachers to provide students with just a couple choices. Sometimes it's simply two pictures or maybe it's two choices such as 'Would you rather have to wear clown shoes or a clown nose all day?'
By giving students only a couple of choices to pull from, it not only allows them to have a more solid place to begin, it also allows you, as the teacher, to not feel overwhelmed too! Instead of getting 27 different topics for every assignment, you'll get 2 or 3 that you can grade much easier!
Ready to try Writing with Design in your class? Give us a shout!

The reporting requirements imposed by the new law go beyond the legitimate need for transparency and seem aimed at constraining the activities of these civil society organisations working in Israel.
Israel enjoys a vibrant democracy, freedom of speech and a diverse civil society which are an integral part of the values which Israel and the EU both hold dear. This new legislation risks undermining these values. We call upon Israel to continue to promote its active NGO sector and to refrain from actions which may complicate the space in which civil society organisations operate and which may curtail freedom of expression and association.

Just 14 seconds into the Missouri Comets' highly anticipated matchup Saturday with powerful San Diego, the Sockers' Kraig Chiles capped a three-on-one breakaway and slapped the ball past Missouri goalkeeper Danny Waltman.
"Talk about a wakeup call," Waltman said, "that was it. When they scored that quickly, it was 'Game on!'"
The Sockers then scored another quick goal to take a 2-0 lead.
That's when Comets coach Vlatko Andonovski called a timeout.
"No one was panicked, but we weren't playing the way we are capable," said Andonovski, whose 9-0 Comets scored the next three goals and went on to claim a nail-biting 10-7 victory before an appreciative crowd of 4,200 at the Independence Events Center.
The Comets' Big Three – Brian Harris, Leo Gibson and captain Vahid Assadpour – scored first-period goals to give Missouri a 3-2 lead going into the second period.
Alain Matingou and Assoadpour kept the pressure on Sockers (6-2) goalie Chris Toth as the Comets padded their lead to 5-2, but Chiles scored his second goal and Nick Perera added a goal to make it a 5-4 game at the half.
"We knew the Sockers would be one of the toughest opponents we would face, and we were ready for the challenge," Assadpour said. "We know we can score goals and we have so much confidence in Danny. Even when they scored those early goals, we knew Danny was going to be strong in the net. But we also knew we had to keep scoring in the second half."
The Sockers came out strong in the third period as Mardney Ney Almeida and former Comets forward Jeff Hughes scored goals to give the visitors a short-lived 6-5 advantage. That would be their final lead of the night as Max "The Haitian Sensation" Touloute scored at 10:45 to knot the score at 6-all heading into the fourth.
"We had to maintain our composure and do the things that allowed us to enter the game with an unbeaten record," Andonovski said, when asked about the fourth-quarter strategy. "I told the boys to go out and have some fun and to play with intensity – which they did."
Gibson gave the Comets the lead at 2:45, and Harris and Mantigou gave Waltman some breathing room with their second goals of the night to make it a 9-6 game. The Sockers' Chiles recorded the hat trick when he scored a sixth-attacker goal, but Assadpour answered with his own hat trick as he closed out the scoring with a late sixth-attacker goal for the Comets.
"This is a big win for this team, for this organization," Assadpour said. "I couldn't be prouder of the way we played tonight."
Harris was named the Borden Player of the Game as he finished with two goals and two assists. Waltman finished with 10 saves and remained undefeated in the net.
"It was fun and exciting to watch our confidence level grow throughout the game," Waltman said. "They had the early lead, then we came back and led at the half. They regain the lead in the second half and we come out and score those three goals in the fourth quarter and win. I've never been a part of a team like this. The brotherhood, the bond, the talent – it's pretty special."
