Lesson Summary
This lesson introduces elementary students to the fiery and explosive nature of volcanoes, using video segments from Nature. Students learn about various features of volcanoes and volcanic activity: what volcanoes are like, where they are found, how and why they erupt, and what happens after an eruption. Students begin by learning key terms about the earth's structure and plate tectonics, followed by a hands-on demonstration of plate tectonics. Students then view video segments to provide an overview of volcanic activity and the effects on the surrounding landscape. As a culminating activity, students explore the locations of volcanoes around the world.
Students will:
- recognize key characteristics of volcanoes and volcanic eruptions;
- define vocabulary terms relating to volcanoes and volcanic activity;
- understand how volcanic eruptions change the Earth's surface;
- identify locations of volcanoes around the world.

National Geographic Decade Volcanoes
This map highlights sixteen volcanoes that have been designated as Decade Volcanoes, due to both their potential activity and proximity to populated areas. There are photos of each volcano on the map, as well as information and statistics about its activity.
This map shows the series of volcanoes circling the Pacific Ocean that are known as the "Ring of Fire." More than half of the world's active volcanoes are in this region, which coincides with the edges of tectonic plates.
This image shows the basic components of a volcano.
Before The Lesson
Prior to teaching this lesson, you will need to:
- Make copies of the student organizers for each student in the class.
- Prepare chart paper or chalkboard/whiteboard by writing the vocabulary terms from the Introductory Activity: Crust, Mantle, Magma, Lava, Plates. Leave enough room to write the definitions as you cover them in the lesson.
- Prepare medium-cooked eggs for the Introductory Activity. These eggs should be boiled for approximately 5 – 8 minutes, depending on the size of the eggs, and should be thoroughly cooled before distributing to students.
The Lesson
Introductory Activity
1. Open the lesson by asking students what, if anything, they already know about volcanoes.
2. Explain to students that a volcano is an opening in the earth's surface, which allows liquid rock, ash, and gases to escape from inside the earth. Tell students that when these materials come out of a volcano, often unexpectedly and at high speeds, it is called an eruption.
3. Distribute the Volcanic Vocabulary Student Organizer, and tell students that you are going to discuss what makes volcanoes erupt. Give students a visual aid by drawing a simple picture of a volcano in the board, or projecting one on the screen. (A simple cross-section of a volcano can be found here: Volcano Cross-Section.) As you review the vocabulary terms, point them out on the image of the volcano.
4. Explain that the solid ground that we stand on is called the Earth's crust, and underneath the crust is a layer called the mantle, which is made up of liquid, or molten rock called magma. Volcanoes erupt when the magma escapes through the crust. Explain that when it is underground the molten rock is called magma, when it is above ground it is called lava. Write the definitions of crust, mantle, magma, and lava on the chart paper or chalkboard/whiteboard, and label them on your volcano image (if they are not labeled already.) Ask students to fill in the definitions on their organizer. Answers can be found on the Volcanic Vocabulary Terms and Definitions Answer Key.
5. How does the magma escape from the crust? Divide the class into groups of 3 or 4 students. Tell students that they are going to create a model of Earth using a boiled egg. Before distributing eggs to the group, demonstrate what they will be doing. Take a medium-boiled egg and roll it gently on a paper towel, so that the shell cracks but does not break off. Distribute 1 egg and paper towels to each group. Ask each group to roll their egg gently on a paper towel to crack the shell. Explain that the broken eggshell is like Earth's crust – it is not one solid piece, instead it is broken up into smaller chunks called plates. Write the definition of plates on the chart paper or chalkboard/whiteboard, and ask students to fill in the definition on their organizer.
6. Ask each group to gently squeeze their egg. They should see some movement in the pieces of the eggshell. Explain that the Earth's plates are in motion – they float on top of the liquid mantle. Now ask students to squeeze the egg harder. They should notice some material oozing out of the cracks. (For this part of the activity, it's all right if the students make a mess!) Explain that on Earth, sometimes when the plates move, magma escapes from between the cracks, and causes a volcanic eruption.
7. Have students clean up and wash their hands if necessary.
Learning Activity 1
1. Ask students if they know where Hawaii is located. If they say yes, ask one of them to point it out on a map for the class; if they don't know, point it out for them. (A world map is recommended for this activity rather than a U.S. map, to accurately reflect Hawaii's location.) Tell students that while Hawaii is often thought of as an island paradise, it is also home to some of the most active volcanoes on Earth.
2. Tell students that they are going to watch a video about a volcano in Hawaii. Frame the video by explaining that the Kilauea volcano has been erupting ever since 1983, and it is an attraction for both tourists and scientists studying its activity. Give students a focus by asking them to look and listen for three characteristics of volcanoes – how they look, sound, act, etc. Play Volcanic Views. Follow up by asking students to share their answers with the class.
3. Review the new vocabulary terms from the video. As in the introductory activity, write them on chart paper or the chalkboard/whiteboard as you define them, and ask students to fill in the definitions on their organizers.
- Vent: the opening through which volcanic material comes out
- Crater: a large hole formed by an explosion or collapse of a volcanic vent
- Lava Lake: pool of molten lava contained inside a vent or crater
4. Explain that the volcanoes on Hawaii are different than many of the volcanoes around the world, since they do not occur at the cracks, or boundaries, between the plates. Hawaii's volcanic activity is due to a hotspot.
5. Explain that hotspots occur when magma pushes through the middle of a plate, not in the cracks between plates, as if a hole was poked through the shell of an uncooked egg and liquid oozed out. (Demonstrate on an uncooked egg for the class, if desired.) Write hotspot on a piece of chart paper or the chalkboard/whiteboard, along with its definition, and ask students to fill in the definition on their organizers.
Learning Activity 2
1. Ask students if they think that volcanoes can change the way the Earth looks. Based on what they already know about volcanoes, what might cause the changes? Explain that when the hot lava stops flowing and cools, it can create rocks or new land that looks very different from the original landscape, and that volcanic activity is responsible for shaping much of how the earth looks today.
2. Tell students that they are going to see a video demonstrating how lava has affected the land in Hawaii. Frame the video by telling students that the lava flows from Kilauea and other volcanoes have been making changes to Hawaii's landscape for thousands of years. Distribute the Lava Landscapes Student Organizer to each student. Ask one of your students to read the first question on the organizer aloud: "Is lava a force of destruction or creation?" Provide a focus for watching the segment by asking your students to consider this question as they watch the video. Play the Lava Landscapes segment. Follow up by asking for student responses to the focus question. (Answer: lava is both destructive and creative.) Go through questions 2 – 4 on the Lava Landscapes Organizer and answering them as a class Replay the video if necessary.
3. Ask students what, if anything, can stop the flow of lava. Tell students that in Hawaii, the flow of lava can be stopped by the ocean.
4. Frame the next video by telling students that even though lava is cooled by the ocean, there is still some activity once the lava makes contact with the water. Give students a focus by asking them to think about what lava does once it meets the water that it does not do on land. Play Stormy Seas. Follow up by asking students for their responses. Go through the remaining questions on the Lava Landscapes Organizer and answer them as a class. Answers can be found on the
Lava Landscapes Student Organizer Answer Key.
If necessary, replay the video.
Culminating Activity
1. Remind students that even though they only saw videos of a volcano in Hawaii, there are more volcanoes in Hawaii and all over the world. Ask students if they know of any other places in the world where there are volcanoes, and to indicate where those volcanoes are on a world map with either pushpins or small sticky notes.
2. Project the Decade Volcano Map on a screen for the class. Explain to students that these volcanoes have been chosen for study because of their activity, and the fact that they are close to populated areas. By being designated as Decade Volcanoes, scientists and the public can work together to be prepared for a potential eruption.
3. Look at the map together as a class. Ask students the following questions, and click on the volcano that they choose as an answer. View the picture of the chosen volcano and invite student comments. As you review each volcano, ask a student to mark it on the world map with a pushpin or sticky note.
- Which volcanoes are on or near the Pacific Ocean? (Avachinsky-Koryaksky, Mt. Unzen, Sakurajima, Taal, Merapi, Ulawun, Mt. Ranier, Colima, Santa Maria, Galeras) Since there are many volcanoes, choose two or three to click on and look at.
- Which volcano on this map is located in Hawaii? (Mauna Loa)
- Which volcanoes are located in Europe? (Vesuvius, Mt. Etna, Santorini)
- Which volcano is located in Africa?(Nyiragongo)
- Which volcanoes are located in the United States?(Mt. Rainier, Mauna Loa)
4. Point out to students that the majority of volcanoes on the map areon or near the coasts of the Pacific Ocean. Project the World Atlas.com Ring of Fire map onto a screen for the whole class. Explain that more than half of the world's active volcanoes are in this "ring" that circles the Pacific Ocean. Explain that this has to do with the boundaries, or spaces, between continental plates. As students should remember from the egg demonstration, when the plates push up against each other or move away from each other, sometimes lava will come up to the surface and through the cracks between plates. Ask students if they can name some of the countries that contain volcanoes in the Ring of Fire. Ask students to mark these countries with pushpins or sticky notes on the world map.

My son is full of energy. It doesn't matter if it is 8:00 in the morning or 6:00 at night, he is always ready to run, jump, and play. I, on the other hand, get tired quickly by the afternoon and early evening. I don't want him to remember me coming home and being too tired to play with him. After all, I haven't seen him in over 8 hours and underneath my exhaustion, I want so badly to spend time with him too! There is a mental feat to overcome, knowing that I can make time to play AND still get dinner prepped and ready on time. The best way to overcome this is to let my son help. Involving my son, even though he is only a year old, in daily chores and activities occupies his time and attention and still allows me to accomplish the necessary stuff. He enjoys helping! I know it might not always be that way so I will let him help as much as possible while it's not a struggle!
Here are some activities and "chores" that a small child can do:
- Throwing things away. If I am chopping food and there are leftovers or scraps that need to be thrown away, I hand things to him one at a time. It turns into lots of trips to the trash can for him, and a happy and occupied baby for me! You can get a good 15 minutes out of the ends of celery stalks or potato peels.
- "Cleaning". I put this in quotations because a one-year old won't really clean anything well, but if they can use a tool like a small broom, they feel like a grown up. No toy is ever as satisfying as a real grown-up item. For my son, we have a small handheld broom that he sweeps the kitchen with. A clean rag or washcloth works well too to let him help wipe down surfaces. In fact, after meals he likes to "wipe" his tray, which is really more of him spreading the mess around, but you have to start somewhere!
- Sorting. If I have things that I want moved from one place to another, for example move the chopped vegetables from a cutting board to a bowl, a small child can do this. I set both the cutting board and the empty bowl in front of him, and demonstrate what I want done. He is happy to pick up and move things from one place to another. One tip for this though, keep an eye out because if he finishes, sometimes he begins to undo all his work by taking everything out of the bowl and putting it back on the cutting board!
- Putting things away. If there is something light enough for him to carry, I might give him a clean bowl to put away in the cupboard. He has opened and closed our cupboard doors so many times that he knows where to put things. Sometimes I do need to direct him to the right place, but he knows how to open the door, place the item, and close the door. (Warning: this has backfired a few times because he wants to take everything out of the cupboard instead of putting things in it!)
Make sure that after each task the child does, you have something else for them to do, or else they might undo whatever they just did!

You will really need a tool or perhaps a internet site which will be careful about your very own online personal details. You may come across many brilliant http proxy servers although you cannot ever be confident if they can indeed be using your documents for villainous needs or not. All right, you may want to declare that a VPN will likely complete the task for your situation, having said that you must realize that it really is high priced.
In today's world, anonymous proxies and additionally proxy servers will offer various type of secure surfing on the on-line. We realize that to have on line security and additionally to shield our personal details, we really need to guard our IP address from group of word wide web-site online hackers and id robbers. and additionally that's really the reason why many individuals at this moment are seeking for the most effective formula to stay safe on the web site. Now how you lock in your private on-line identification? Internet web browsers can have defense solutions and accessories that can protect most of us, on the other hand many of these types of not sufficient to guard us from hackers the moment they find out our very own realistic place.

Right before debating with regards to covering your private IP address, lets talk a little bite regarding the benefice of making use of a proxy server, It can absolutely let you activate a stopped webpage whenever you would like and additionally irrespective of where you are living. These kinds of blocks are subject to your own IP address so once you surf to them utilizing a proxy server from a new nation then you'll be able to sign in. I use a United States proxy host to get into certain tracks online websites inside the United States by way of example that are commonly stopped to non US locals.
Let me enlighten primary precisely what can be an anonymous proxy? it is just a proxy server working under the web-site form principle, it would be PHP program or even a CGI software. Rather than configuring the web server address on the browser, internet users simply just will have to browse to the homepage of the CGI/ web-site proxy, where proxy ability is then allowed for every single surfing session.
We realize that the Internet web browsers are upgraded continuously given very new safety attributes. and after that that they will make new updates to protect us totally from absolutely new trojans and weaknesses. then again all these alone will not sufficient to hide from being hacked. We necessitate alot more protection that is well furnished by covering your very own IP to surf anonymously.
With Regard To private proxies, the web site browser is related to the host, which in turn relates in direction of the on-line host. Using this method the domain requested through out the proxy will never view your confidential IP address. Will probably see in exchange the proxy server IP. then again here once more do keep in mind that your very own exact IP address is literally acknowledged by your own web proxy, and also that is why you really need to only go with safest proxy host like ProxMe service .
Obviously you can easily notice that concealing you online personal identity is not hard by using proxy servers. Proxy servers are definitely oftentimes assorted laptops or computers regarded as servers living in different places through out the entire world. Together With utilization of software just like Private Proxy programs you are able to route your on-line connection throughout most of these multi proxy servers. Surfing online when our very own IP address is certainly switched often may keep the cyberpunks totally from finding our very own exact location. This will be a practical solution since people know that the internet internet browser would not shield us from online cyberpunks right after they get our actual IP. As Soon As you will want to surf carefully & invisible from most of these hateful individuals, it's usually the most appropriate technique in order to hide out your own online position. If you need to go invisible in the On-line, opt for utilizing an anonymous proxy software along with proxy servers.

The purpose of this study was to learn about students' learning through cross-cultural online education. The participants were students involved in the course qTeaching and Learning about Africaq at the University of Illinois and the University of Pretoria, South Africa. Students were able to participate in their native country while interacting with others abroad. The course explored various topics related to education in South Africa, the United States, and the world. The research questions were: What do students learn in a cross-cultural online environment? and What does an online environment add to or detract from cross-cultural education? Data from the interviews were coded into categories, and later as broader themes emerged, these were linked to the two research questions. Online survey data were analyzed using statistical methods. The theoretical framework for the study included both sociocultural (Dewey, 1902, 1915, 1916) and critical pedagogy perspectives (Freire, 1970). The discussion explored how challenging the students' worldviews through online chat sessions, assigned readings, and assignments cultivated a problem-posing and authentic educational atmosphere, which offered students the chance to think critically, learn, and grow both academically and personally. In addition, an interpretation of how the development of trust, openness, and textual communication influenced the students' participation in this course was explored.The course took place online using WebCT and met synchronously one-and-a- half-hours once a week on Thursday. ...

Clegg 'convinced' by Hunt's Leveson evidence
Nick Clegg has offered a surprisingly strong defence of Jeremy Hunt in his evidence to the Leveson inquiry.
The deputy prime minister has ordered Liberal Democrat MPs to abstain from a Labour vote calling for Mr Hunt to be referred to the independent adviser on ministerial behaviour, Sir Alex Allan.
But when asked about the way he thought Mr Hunt had handled himself during his period of responsibility for the BSkyB bid, he told court room 73: "I think he's given a full, good and convincing account to this inquiry."
Mr Clegg said he was aware that Mr Hunt was sympathetic towards News International's goal of securing a controlling stake in broadcaster BSkyB.
Opinion Former News
He said his "strong political instinct" was to protect Vince Cable's job after the business secretary was exposed in a Telegraph sting as having declared "war" on Rupert Murdoch.
The deputy prime minister talked with David Cameron at length about the government's options, he explained.
Mr Clegg said: "I remember asking questions of [civil service chief] Gus O'Donnell about whether I could be sure that the bid would be dealt with objectively and appropriately by Mr Hunt by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, and he assured me it would be."
He later added: "I was very ready to accept assurances that the process would have to be conducted in a quasi-judicial manner and in that sense his views were irrelevant."
Mr Clegg offered a different approach to chancellor George Osborne to the intensive lobbying members of the government faced about the BSkyB takeover bid.
Mr Osborne had told the Leveson inquiry earlier this week that he would "listen politely" to submissions and not act on them.
Mr Clegg said an email sent by one of his advisers telling Lib Dem politicians to avoid commenting on the issue reflected his own views. These were that "everyone should just pipe down instead of just having these endless conversations which were entirely irrelevant and immaterial to the process in Vince Cable's office".
In the three-hour evidence session the deputy prime minister made clear he did not support "any means" by which the government could seek to legislate or regulate the press.
"I would be very wary indeed of going down the slippery slope of trying to intrude from the outside between fact, opinion and comment," he said.
"They blur constantly and you couldn't legislate to unravel them."

By Nick Carey and Joseph Lichterman
DETROIT (Reuters) - After a testy exchange between the judge presiding over Detroit's bankruptcy and a Michigan official, attorneys for the state agreed on Tuesday to drop a challenge to a request by creditors' lawyers to depose Governor Rick Snyder on the city's eligibility for bankruptcy.
Citing executive privilege, the office of the state attorney general had filed a motion late Monday arguing Snyder should not be deposed. Creditors' attorneys had said they wanted the governor's deposition to determine his motivation in approving a request in mid-July from Detroit's state-appointed emergency manager, Kevyn Orr, to take the city into Chapter 9 bankruptcy.
If Detroit's bankruptcy goes ahead, it will be the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history. The city owes some $18.5 billion in long-term debt, and public sector unions have challenged the bankruptcy filing on grounds that it violates protections for worker pensions and benefits enshrined in Michigan's constitution.
Some unions have also argued in filings that Snyder and Orr arranged the bankruptcy filing specifically to target worker pay and benefits.
Clearly annoyed, U.S. bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes took issue with the lateness of the filing on Monday and said he had half a mind to waive the Tuesday hearing.
Assistant state Attorney General Margaret Nelson, who appeared in court to make the governor's case, argued that the issue of deliberations on Snyder's part were not relevant to the case.
But Judge Rhodes responded that as creditors had objected to the bankruptcy based in part on Snyder's motives, it was too late to cite executive privilege.
"It's hard for me to imagine what you thought they were going to ask the governor in a deposition other than that," the judge said. "That has been clear from the start."
"What else is there to ask him about?"
Attorneys for both sides agreed that Governor Snyder, a Republican, will be deposed for three hours and that creditors' attorneys may also depose Michigan's state treasurer, Andy Dillon.
After the hearing on Tuesday, Sharon Levine of law firm Lowenstein Sandler LLP, counsel for the union American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), said the agreement was "a victory for transparency."
"We want to understand the motivation behind the filing," she told reporters outside the courthouse.
Rhodes also delayed until October 15 a hearing to begin oral arguments surrounding legal challenges to the bankruptcy filing. The city's labor unions and other objectors said the process was too swift, so Rhodes tentatively rescheduled the beginning of oral arguments from an original date of Sept 18.
An attorney representing a committee of city retirees said the group would file its formal challenge to Detroit's eligibility for bankruptcy later on Tuesday.
The trial on Detroit's eligibility for bankruptcy will begin on October 23. The city plans to submit a restructuring plan by the end of the year.

American Horror Story Recap: The Queen of Candyland
Forward in time, then back, then forward again.
Get the american horror story recap delivered every week.
Before we get started here, let me just apologize if I lack pep. I've got whatever horrible illness is going around, and I'm NyQuil-ed to the gills. Side note: Did you know that if you turn off the sound to American Horror Story and play Sophie B. Hawkins's "As I Lay Me Down," the whole things syncs up perfectly? It's true.
This wasn't my favorite episode. It didn't go full-bore insane, and it was falling all over itself to try to get things wrapped up for the finale, which meant flashing forward, then back, then forward, then back again in a way that would have wearied even the most Bakula of Scotts. Perhaps that's because we only have one more episode to go and lots of unanswered questions. Like, for instance, "What?"
I got about four seconds into this episode before the first "Oh, come on," which I think is a new record. What got me was the photograph of Kit sitting gleefully between his two ladies and two babies. God, to be a fly on the wall at that Sears Portrait Studio.
Before the titles, it appears Kit has axe-murdered someone, but afterward we (in the first flashback of many) are in happier times with out our extra-extra-extra-nontraditional family. It's actually kind of like The Wonder Years, if you'll remember that Kevin's parents were alien abductees and a murderer and Wayne was the child of the mean dad's first wife who lived with them. Or something.
They're talking about what kind of vegetables to plant in their nontraditional garden, so when Kit comes home and says, "This mache is going to be amazing!" I really think he's talking about the lettuce, but it's just his accent, and he's trying to go to some civil rights event where they can be with people "just like us." Yes, Boston certainly seems like the city that would welcome a polygamous multiethnic family with open arms.
Alma doesn't like that Grace is an alien-worshipping axe-murderer, and Grace is worried that she'll axe-murder again, so I think maybe … don't keep an axe in the house? Seems logical right? It quickly becomes apparent that the assailant from the opening scene is Alma, who attacks Grace because she's afraid the aliens will come back. This is the worst episode of HBO's Real Sex ever.
Back in Briarcliff, Jude is playing board games with Pepper when the monsignor asks for a word with her. "I'm the queen of Candyland," she slurs, which I like to imagine her shouting during a drunken rout with Sam Shepard.
Monsignor Tim has been appointed cardinal of New York, and he's releasing her because he doesn't want her to be subjected to any abuses in the asylum, which is being turned over to the state. Oh, no, not the government. What if they do a bad job running this place?
Then we have a great scene where all of the inmates party with Pepper and Jude in the asylum bakery while this episode continues to flaunt its impressive musical budget with a little "All Along the Watchtower."
Frances Conroy shuffles in, dressed in Briarcliff blues and not her usual death-bringing burlesque finery. She says she's an inmate from another institution, but Jude isn't buying it. I am, though! Wow. Frances is bringing some postmenopausal Caged Heat realness. She hits on Jude and Alma (who is now in Briarcliff, too) and shanks a guy who I'm 90 percent sure is Ben Folds. It seems Jude might be legit crazy now, having lost two whole years, during which Pepper allegedly died in 1966. (Pepper! NO!)
We flash-forward to 1969, where Lana is being fêted at a bookstore that looks suspiciously well attended. Apparently, she's Sedaris-ed her memoirs a little, and in a strange little reverie, the dead come back to nitpick her fact-checking. Just shelve it in fiction! Also — does a story of being wrongly imprisoned and repeatedly raped by a serial killer who offed your lesbian lover need embroidering?
Kit shows up and they get coffee, and she can't stop talking about herself. The literary world! It's awfully tiresome. When he does get a word in edgewise, he tells her that Alma died suddenly and that Jude is alive, still in Briarcliff. She doesn't care anymore because she's a huge media celebrity.
Then, because this episode is willfully trying to confuse me at this point, we're in the same bookstore in the future, where Johnny is unsuccessfully haggling with the aged proprietress over an autographed copy of Lana's book. He's all, "It's my fate to have this book, rarrrrrrr," and she's like, "Ugh just go on Amazon!"
We have ONE episode left in which to kill off everybody else we've grown attached to and marvel at how well preserved Dylan McDermott is. Do you think he's vegan? You guys have a good week, and I'll see you next time.

Been getting a lot of questions about directory listing in Sun Java System Web Server 7.0
I have setup a Sun Java System Web Sever 7.0. I am not able see directory contents. I get a popup saying "Authentication Required". Under "Content Handling"->"General"->"Directory Listing", I tried setting "Listing Type" to 'Fancy' & 'Simple'. But that did not help (I saved and re-deployed the server instance).
Here is the solution. Check in obj.conf configuration file if "index-common" service SAF is present:
Service method="(GET|HEAD)" type="magnus-internal/directory" fn="index-common"
Directory listing is not enabled by default. If you look at the default ACL file default.acl, (assuming you do not have any other other VS specific ACL file)
version 3.0;
acl "default";
authenticate (user, group) {
prompt = "Sun Java System Web Server";
allow (read, execute, info) user = "anyone";
allow (list, write, delete) user = "all";
That shows "list" right is allowed to "all" (authenticated users only). And for directory listing, you need "list" rights. That means only authenticated users can see directory lists.
You can move this "list" right to "anyone" so that even unauthenticated users can see the directory lists.
So here is what the changed ACEs should look like :
allow (read, execute, info, list) user = "anyone";
allow (write, delete) user = "all";
Two more minor tips I would like to add
1. If you want to change the width of the columns of filename, last modified time, size, description in directory listing, add "cindex-init" directive in magnus.conf. For example
Init fn="cindex-init" widths="50,5,5,20"
2. If you want to change the directory listing to "simple" style where you will only see the list of filenames, you can change "index-common" to "index-simple" as shown below
Service method="(GET|HEAD)" type="magnus-internal/directory" fn="index-simple"

Ironic that the leading argument against the President's Executive Order 13768 on Sanctuary Cities is none other than the states' rights / coercion arguments that convinced seven Justices to make the Medicaid expansion voluntary. Backstory on this element of National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) v. Sebelius from 2012 here, with the abstract below:
Of the four discrete questions before the Court in National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius, the Medicaid expansion held the greatest potential for destabilization from both a statutory and a constitutional perspective. As authors of an amicus brief supporting the Medicaid expansion, and scholars with expertise in health law who have been cited by the Court, we show in this article why NFIB is likely to fulfill that promise.
For the first time in its history, the Court held federal legislation based upon the spending power to be unconstitutionally coercive. Chief Justice Roberts' plurality (joined for future voting purposes by the joint dissent) decided that the Medicaid expansion created by the ACA was a "new" program to which Congress could not attach the penalty of losing all Medicaid funding for refusing to participate. NFIB signals the Roberts Court's interest in continuing the Federalism Revolution. The Court relied on, seemingly modified, and strengthened at least two existing elements of the test for conditional spending articulated in South Dakota v. Dole. Clear notice and germaneness now appear to be folded into the newly fashioned yet undefined coercion doctrine, which relied on quantitative as well as qualitative analysis to determine that the Medicaid expansion was unconstitutionally coercive. The Court is now actively enforcing the Tenth Amendment to protect states from federal spending legislation. Continue reading

NORTHEAST OHIO Campaign gives rabies vaccine to wildlife
People are asked to keep pets inside or on leashes for at least a week after their area is baited.
YOUNGSTOWN -- Beginning today and running through Sept. 30, local, state and federal health and wildlife officials are conducting a campaign in Northeast Ohio to immunize wild raccoons against rabies.
The oral vaccine is distributed by low-flying aircraft in rural areas and by ground teams in vehicles in more urban settings, said Rick Setty of the Mahoning County Board of Health.
Pet owners are asked to keep dogs and cats inside or on leashes for at least a week after their area is baited. Dogs, in particular, find the baits attractive, as the shell is made of fishmeal. Although eating the baits is not harmful to dogs, they may bring them to the attention of their owners, who then might have contact with the vaccine liquid.
Safety tips
Do not handle the baits with bare hands, but should a human touch the vaccine, wash the exposed area thoroughly with soap and water. Direct questions about the vaccination or baits that have been found to the Ohio Department of Health rabies information line at (888) 722-4371.
Here are tips to protect against rabid animals.
U Do not feed, touch or adopt wild animals, and be cautious of stray dogs and cats. Rabid animals do not always appear vicious.
U Teach children to leave wildlife alone. Be sure your children know to tell you if an animal bites or scratches them.
U Have your veterinarian vaccinate your dogs, cats or ferrets against rabies, and keep the vaccinations current.
U Tightly close garbage cans. Open trash attracts wild or stray animals to your home or yard.
U Feed your pets indoors; never leave pet food outside, because this attracts wildlife.
U Call your doctor for advice if an animal bites you. Report the bite to your local health department.

Mark King
Title: Chief executive and president of TaylorMade-Adidas Golf
Age: 52
Education: Attended Northern Illinois University for two years on a golf scholarship. Transferred to the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and graduated in 1981 with a bachelor's degree in business administration.
Career: Joined TaylorMade right after college as a territory sales representative. The firm had three employees at the time. He later served as regional sales manager, national merchandising manager and vice president of sales at TaylorMade. After a brief stint at Callaway Golf, he returned to TaylorMade in 1999 as president and added the CEO title in 2002.
Activities: Serves on the board of directors of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Sits on the board of the V Foundation and the board of Solutions for Change, a San Diego-based nonprofit that works to solve family homelessness.
Family: Father of two daughters
Golf handicap: +1, plays about twice a month
Golf has been a stagnant business for years, with few new players taking up the game to spark growth. So when TaylorMade-Adidas Golf of Carlsbad announced that first-quarter sales surged 32 percent to $508 million compared with the prior year, it raised a few eyebrows.
The club maker, which posted $1.5 billion in revenue in 2011, likely benefited from a mild winter, which led to a 22 percent increase in rounds played through March in the U.S., said industry research firm Golf Datatech.
But TaylorMade wasn't simply riding a warm weather wave. If it was, then top rival Callaway Golf also would have reported higher first-quarter sales. Its revenue was flat compared with the prior year at $285 million.
TaylorMade has clearly been gaining market share against its rivals. A division of German shoe giant Adidas, the company declined to reveal its profit for the quarter. But Chief Executive Mark King said TaylorMade's earnings increased 100 percent over the same quarter last year.
TaylorMade's RocketBallz metalwoods have been the backbone of its sales surge, King said. In February, TaylorMade-branded metal woods achieved monthly market share of 52 percent. But other categories of products also posted increases, including irons, apparel, footwear and golf balls.
TaylorMade employs 900 workers in Carlsbad and 1,600 worldwide. King sat down recently to discuss the company's record quarter, its purchase of Adams Golf, what's next for the golf industry and his recent appearance on the CBS television show "Undercover Boss." In an episode that aired in April, King shaved his head and worked several jobs at the company. Here are some excerpts his conversation with U-T San Diego.
Q: What has led to TaylorMade's market share gains?
A: I think one of the things we have done since the fourth quarter (of) 2008 when the whole world became kind of afraid, we have gotten more aggressive. While a lot of our competitors and a lot of industries are contracting and cutting expenses and doing those types of things that make your business shrink, we have been investing because we believed we could steal market share and grow.
Had we invested and not grown, you would probably be talking to somebody else. We have a great parent company. That allowed us to be creative and aggressive. So it's the combination of their support and our ability to create new and different products.
Q: What are the advantages of having Adidas as a parent company?
A: They let us do things that maybe you wouldn't do if you were a stand-alone company. And now we're gaining confidence so were taking more risk.
RocketBallz in and of itself was a risk — the name. A lot of people when they heard it said, "Well, it's not conservative golf, and it will offend touring professionals.' It did just the opposite. They loved it.
We had a parent company for many years, the Salomon Co. That was a great company. They had passion for products. But they were from the ski business and wanted to be very involved in making critical day-to-day decisions on running a golf business. That didn't work. Decisions were slow and many times the wrong decisions.
Adidas bought the company in 1998. They since sold off Salomon. They kept us. We run completely autonomous. They support us as much as they can financially when we want to make an investment like the purchase of Adams Golf.
Q: What does Adams Golf bring to the table?
A: Our company talks about really focusing on the zero to four handicap — the best of the best golfers. Now we sell a lot of products to people who aren't zero to four, but the voice of the company and the inspiration for products comes from zero to 4 handicap golfer. Adams Golf, although they make products for tour players, the focus of their company isn't the top of the playing pyramid. It's the middle of the playing pyramid.
So when we put these brands together, we going to talk about how we have the number one brand in golf, TaylorMade, and we have the No. 1 friendliest brand in golf, Adams.
Q: What's the future of golf look like?
A: The first spurt of growth would be from people who come into the game from a nontraditional way of entry, and once they get hooked on it, they move over to more traditional golf.
There is a (public) golf course in Minneapolis. It has an 18-hole course and a nine-hole course. They just converted the nine-hole course to a 15-inch cup for everybody. The feedback already is people are loving it. They're shooting lower scores. The pace of play is faster — all of the issues that have plagued new entrants to the game. Once you get hooked on the game, at some point you're going to say, "I want to play on the big course."
Q: What was it like appearing on "Undercover Boss"?
A: I learned that the people who work at our company and really at any company, they work really hard without a lot of appreciation. Even at a company like ours — and we do a lot of things to try to make people feel like we know who they are, we recognize them as human beings, we recognize what they do — the pace of work today is so fast, these people who do all the hard work. They need to be appreciated more.
And I definitely found out that when I say something, by the time it gets down to the guy doing the work, it doesn't even resemble what I originally said. So on the key message points we need to find a better way to communicate to people so they understand where we're going, how we're going to get there and what role they play in it.Copyright © 2018, The San Diego Union-Tribune

Range bar charts
Range bar charts are the relative newcomers to the charting world, and are composed of bars that are based only on price activity, thereby eliminating time, number of transactions and volume from the equation. Each bar represents a specified price movement, such as 10 cents or 50 cents, and once price has moved the specified amount, one bar will close and a new will open. The three governing rules of range bars are:
Each range bar has a high/low range that equals the specified range;
Each range bar opens outside the high/low range of the previous bar; and
Each range bar closes at either its high or low.
Unlike time-based intervals where an equal number of bars print each trading session, any number of range bars can appear during a session depending on the volatility of the given market.
Range bars can help traders view price in a consolidated manner. A lot of the noise that occurs when prices bounce back and forth in a narrow range can be reduced to one or two bars, helping traders distinguish what is happening to price. Because much of the noise is eliminated, range-bar charts make especially ideal charts on which to draw trendlines to point out areas of support and resistance, as shown in "Home on the range" (below).
Chart views
Determining the best chart interval requires practice and screen time. The chart should match the trading style and the time frame in which the trader operates. It is important to remember that time and activity chart settings are relative to the market being traded, so no single setting is appropriate across all markets or trading styles.

Mogul Energy is a privately held oil and gas exploration and development company and operator in Houston, Texas with producing wells in the state of Texas. Mogul Energy has an experienced management team with senior exploration & production team members having produced and operated in the US and internationally, onshore and offshore, for an average of 39 years each. Mogul's mandate is to explore and develop highly prospective lands adjacent to producing oil and gas properties. The many shallow exploitation prospects, currently in inventory or producing, all offset existing or previously producing wells. Mogul selected these "in close proximity" grouping of primarily Frio sand prospects to have multiple opportunities to save money on drilling and production costs along with daily operating costs. The Company currently has several operations within the State of Texas: Stafford Prospect – Jackson County, Texas, where the Stafford Well #2 and Well #3 are producing; Alkek Prospect – Goliad County, Texas, where Mogul operates the Swickheimer Well #1; the East Mathis Prospect – San Patricio County, Texas, where Mogul operates the Kieschnick Well #1. Additional development opportunities exist for Mogul and its partners to offset existing production in several other prospects in Brazoria, Goliad, San Patricio, Jackson and Victoria Counties, all along the Gulf Coast area of Texas.

Whether it is because of how you look, who you like, your taste in music, hobbies, or anything (like embarrassing a bully who was picking on your friend and ticking him off like I did).
I want you to know that I know the pain of being bullied. I was horribly bullied by my entire grade in junior high. People I had known since I was in first grade or earlier. I felt like I had no one. It was awful.
I'm not going to tell you that I grew up and everything became easy and perfect for me, because life isn't just like the movies.
However, I have developed tight friendships with people who would put themselves in harms way for me if it meant protecting me. People with just a look know how I feel and seem to have the perfect response. People who I call immediately when bad things happen — who celebrate the smallest bits of excitement that I have.
But, I know that alone feeling. I know that feeling of, "I just have to make it through this year and leave these jerks behind forever. " I know the feeling of "not sure I can handle it anymore."
I wish I had told my parents sooner. It would have been much better for me.
But I didn't. I thought it would make it worse.
So, if you're out there — I hope you have parents as wonderful as mine who would do anything for you. And I hope you tell them. But if you don't tell them, if they aren't people who would understand — I want you to know that I am here for you. This Tumblr community is here for you.
There is so much in the future. So much better than this. I don't want you to miss it.

The past two years have been brutal for the Liberal Democrat brand.
It is understandable.
Liberalism is rooted in a clear set of principles, and yet as the coalition has become established we have discovered that we have either been forced to abandon key elements of our agenda- such as the tuition fees fiasco- or have discovered that we have not sold our ideas well enough to the electorate- the fiasco of the AV referendum. The result is that we have lost about half of the voters who supported the party in 2010.
The party has assumed a grimly determined approach to repeated setbacks. It has been the only realistic response to the battering that we have taken. Yet we have also lost many fellow travellers and and long term supporters. The party is clearly weaker than we were.
Only the creation of a proportionally elected House of Lords may keep the Liberal Democrats in a position to retain influence at the national level. That is clearly why the party leadership is investing so much into the process of House of Lords reform- it may prove to be a lifeboat for the Liberal Democrats at the national level- ans as a result it will come under renewed challenge from our political opponents, who would dearly like to return to the old two-party system.
Yet while much or our agenda- Europe, Human Rights- remains scornfully rejected by the mainstream of both left and right, there is an area where the party should now be speaking up, since our ideas seem set to become the basis for a major reform. That area is the solution to the crisis of Scotland.
The Liberal Democrats has always supported Home Rule for Scotland- it still does so today. Yet that support was also bound up in a vision of wider reform of the whole of the British State. We argued that all of the people of Britain should be able to get control of their own affairs. Increasingly as the implications of the Scottish referendum sink in across the rest of the United Kingdom, it is becoming clear that a Federal reform of Britain is now a critical part of a solution that will keep the four nations of the common state together.
We have argued for a flexible system- similar to that of Spain- where different areas take on the decisions that are right for them. This goes well beyond the simple creation of a unified English Parliament, which Conservatives now advocate, and to be honest the creation of such a Parliament renders the British State simply Greater England rather than Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The time has come to inject the decades of Liberal discussion on the subject into the national debate.
Constitutional reform, for the Liberal Democrats, is not just about electoral reform, it is about addressing the increasingly real concerns of the different nations and regions of the UK- and the Liberal Democrats have a well-thought out agenda for change. The legislation that Tony Blair enacted for devolution for Wales and Scotland (and later, Northern Ireland) was always going to be destabilising if the issue of English government was not address as part of a wider British settlement too- and we said so at the time.
If Nick Clegg and the Ministerial team want to recover distinctive Liberal Democrat ground- then they would be best putting forward the Lords reforms as part of a wider settlement of the British constitution.
Not only is Right, Not only is it Liberal, it may even be popular.

This Fall, Gwen Stefani will debut Harajuku Lovers, a collection of five new fragrances. The perfumes will be bottled in "dolls" designed by Stefani, based on herself and her backup dancers, The Harajuku Girls – Love, Angel, Music and Baby.
Love is a sensuous floral with notes of bergamot, pink pomelo, peach, bamboo leaf mist, watery peony, living hydroponic lace rose, jasmine sambac, nectarine blossom, creamy paperwhites, Egyptian jasmine, ylang ylang, vanilla orchid, musk and blond wood.
Lil' Angel is a fruity floral with notes of raspberry, cranberry, blackberry, pineapple, pear blossom, candied violet, sugared rose, lollipop accord, hinoki wood and crystal amber.
Music is a delicate floral with notes of clementine, sparkling pear, jasmine sambac, sweet pea, honeysuckle, vanilla, skin musk and sleek woods.
Baby is a powdery musk with notes of freesia, bergamot, white rose, orange flower, tiare flower, jasmine petals, white musk, soft woods, heliotrope, vanilla and violet.
G is a modern gourmand with notes of mandarin, fresh coconut, apple skin, jasmine sambac, freesia, magnolia vapor, coconut cream, white sandalwood and cottonwoods.
"I didn't think this project would actually come to life," Stefani said. "The idea that Coty would let me do five different fragrances for Harajuku Lovers was a fantasy. But it really had to be five, because that's what the world is. Each girl has her own personality and sense of style. We're all saying something different with unique personalities."
Though her new fragrances haven't yet been released, Gwen is already thinking about the future, and how she will continue to build her empire.
"I would love to have a full L.A.M.B. beauty line one day," she told WWD. "It makes sense. I've always loved doing my hair and makeup and getting all dressed up. When I have a party or an event to go to, getting ready is just as much fun as actually going out."
In the U.S., the collection will be sold in some department and specialty stores, including Macy's, Nordstrom, Dillard's and Sephora. The lineup will also be sold in 17 international markets, including Japan, the U.K., France, Australia, Germany and China.
Harajuku Lovers will hit stores in September, and each scent will be available in two sizes: $45 for 30 ml. and $25 for 10 ml. A coffret, which includes solid perfume versions of all five, will be on counter later this fall as a permanent addition to the collection, and will retail for $60. "They're value-priced to encourage multiple purchases," said Catherine Walsh, senior vice president of American Fragrances for Coty Prestige.

Bubblewrap was created by former students from the IT-university in Denmark. We all have different technical backgrounds, but got together with one sole purpose: to push the game medium and create games driven by narrative.
SKYLD is such a game, dealing with heavy themes such as guilt, letting go, and confronting and accepting sadness as part of every human life. SKYLD aims to be a manifestation of the emotional complications that we face as humans. The player takes on the role of Silja, who is trying to save her father from a depression that she thinks is her fault and features gameplay that revolves around exploring and puzzles. Currently we are prototyping a vertical slice of our first level.

Classic Persian Kashan run with tomato red field, central medallion, and floral corners and borders. A bit of abrash (color variegation due to different wool dye batches), which lends a rug painterly qualities. The abrash is in the red field as shown in photo 2. Definitely woven in Iran — not a Pakistani or Indian copy.
Excellent overall condition for a vintage rug. Minor repair on the side cord, which is not even visible. Wool on cotton warp. 1960s. The last photo shows the back of the rug and you can see that it is a very dense and finely knotted carpet. Exact size is 6 ft. 11 in. by 4 ft. 5 in.
Extremely solid and you could place it in a high foot traffic area if need be.
Click here to purchase this rug in the Shop.
Price is $385. Shipping is $35 within U.S. continent.
Please email me with questions or to arrange a purchase. Thank you.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Zimbardo' tag.
In his comment on my last post, Matt Langdon correctly points out that Zimbardo, in The Lucifer Effect, doesn't just focus on evil. He also devotes some ink to the antidote: heroism. Zimbardo's Lucifer Effect website has a section on heroism that goes into some detail explaining what he means. For Christians looking to see how this relates to Jesus and his sacrifice on the cross, Zimbardo's definition of heroism sounds closer to Peter Abelard's moral theory of atonement than Anselm's substitutionary theory. But whichever you prefer, I think it's safe to say that for Christians, Jesus is the ultimate hero.
Speaking of theology, on taking a closer look at Zimbardo's website I noticed that there is a link to a Lucifer Effect Theology Blog.
If you took Psych 101 in college, you learned about Philip Zimbardo's famous Stanford prison experiment of 1971. A group of students were randomly divided into two groups: "guards" and "prisoners" and told to act accordingly. Within five days, the guards were committing morally repugnant acts and five of the prisoner group were on the verge of mental breakdown. The point of the exercise was that given certain circumstances, roles, and influences, people who seemed to be good, moral, and virtuous would act otherwise.
Zimbardo, author of The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil is speaking today at TED 2008, a conference of "technology, entertainment, and design." His topic: Abu Ghraib. In an interview on WIRED magazine's website, Zimbardo says:
The situational forces that were going on in [Abu Ghraib] — the dehumanization, the lack of personal accountability, the lack of surveillance, the permission to get away with anti-social actions — it was like the Stanford prison study, but in spades.
Zimbardo was a defense witness for Chip Frederickson during his trial relating to Abu Ghraib. His argument was not that Frederickson wasn't responsible for his own actions, but that the conditions Frederickson and others were put under created a perfect storm of conditions – the type of conditions under which good, moral people commit evil acts.
Evil is a fascinating topic – one that we tend to avoid in the mainline church or explain only in supernatural terms. And while I don't think that science – behavioral or otherwise – can fully explain evil or tell us everything we need to know, studies like Zimbardo's are worth paying attention to. Otherwise Christians are stuck wringing our hands over events that happened decades ago, exclaiming "never again!" yet not able to name it (or do anything about it) when it occurs in our own times.
Of course I have mixed feelings about throwing the term "evil" around too loosely – i.e. "Axis of Evil" pronouncements after 9/11 that were not helpful. But how do we in the mainline church find the language to talk about evil again?

NEW YORK --Two pit bulls were fatally shot by police executing a warrant at a Queens home Monday morning.
The dogs charged the officers as they executed an arrest warrant on 111th Avenue in Cambria Heights just after 6:30 a.m.
The officers fired their weapons in defense, police say, and the dogs were shot and killed.
The officers were not injured.
Three people were arrested as a result of this incident.
One of the suspect had a gun and is facing in charges in relation to that.

"We like Ike!" went the chant, led by Ike Turner's guitarist from the stage, and it was hard to argue. After the Chicago Blues Festival headliner spent an hour hugging people on stage, giving raspy little chuckles and apologizing because his emphysema means "my wind ain't that long," he seemed like the cuddliest legend in rock 'n' roll history. Many in packed Grant Park knew better, of course.
Although his hourlong Friday-night set with the impeccable nine-man Kings of Rhythm was a stellar display of boogie-woogie piano, electric Chicago blues and jumping '40s R&B, Turner couldn't resist a bitter crack about his tainted past. At the end of the prototypical blues line "I worked 18 years for one woman/she had the nerve to kick me out," Turner ad-libbed, " ... and do a movie." (The reference was to his ex-wife, Tina Turner, who in a 1986 autobiography and subsequent film alleged domestic abuse.)

Today Miss H was over as my sister is poorly.
She was asking for sweets (figures that just after Halloween she is on a sugar craving high!) but we don't have any - mainly because I can't be trusted with them!
So I decided to try out the Betty Crocker brownie mix I got as part of the Insiders campaign I am taking part in (read more about it here)
Brownies are most definitely not my strong point - like seriously I have tried in the past and had to throw out the whole pan I tried to bake them in so I have to be honest I did not have high hopes of this mix.
However, in the interest of stopping a 3 year old from nagging me to go buy her "cho-cat" from the shop we gave it a go.
The mix calls for 3 additional ingredients - 1 egg, 5 tablespoons of water and 3 tablespoons of oil. Whilst Miss H was washing up ready to get to grips with her role as chief stirring and spoon licker I got the extra bits together into our cute Mickey Mouse measuring cups.
Miss H then poured the water, the oil and with a bit of help the egg into the mixing bowl and set at them with a whisk to make sure they were all frothed up.
I opened the brownie mix bag and helped her pour it into the bowl and handed her the spoon and off she went stirring like a dervish for about a minute - the mix mixed very well - with the previous cupcake mixture I had to do the mixing to get the batter to the right consistency (I dont have a posh kitchen aid type mixer - half the time I just use a fork!) - however the brownie mix is definitely easy for little hands to whip up.
Prep and mixing took around 5 mins and then it was a case of pouring the mix into a tray and smoothing it over.
H insisted that we needed to add something extra to the mix - all I had in the cupboard was some mini marshmallows which she pushed into the mixture on half of the tray
I popped the tray into the oven on gas mark 4 and checked on it after 20 mins - it was little gooey so I put it back in the oven for another 10 mins.
The it was a case of leaving it on the side to cool for 20 mins before cutting into squares and trying.
Now the marshmallowy side looks a bit gross but the marshmallow themselves had kinda crystalised into a chewy toffee like topping which was actually really good. The brownies were slightly crunchie on the top and a little gooey still in the middle - they prob could have done with another 5 mins in the oven but Miss H was demanding her sugar fix by then!
The brownies were a big hit with everyone and my entire home smells of chocolatey baked goodies which is always nice.
I think this brownie mix is great - super easy to use, great results and tasty to eat - deffo something I will look at keeping in the cupboard as its a great quick and easy activity and it has a long shelf life too and the additional ingredients required are basically an egg and some sunflower oil both of which are normally in my fridge/cupboard.

While gift baskets for your out-of-towners are not absolutely necessary, they are excellent gestures that let them know how grateful you are that they came. Although, I know, it sounds like one more detail that you don't have time for; gift baskets are often easy and very much appreciated. If all your creativity has been absorbed by the wedding planning, this is a nice task to ask for suggestions for from friends and family who have offered to be more involved.
There are a few very popular types of gift bags. They include:
Practical - Give baskets that include things that you anticipate your guests may need, but might have forgotten to pack. Summer outdoor wedding? Give them sunscreen, a fan, and a bottle of water. Outdoor wedding in a cooler climate? Pack them handwarmers and a hot cocoa packet in a thermal mug. Planning to have a raucous reception? Be a great friend and offer them aspirin, a gift certificate to the nearest coffeehouse, and hangover foods.
Local Showcase - Show them why you love the town you chose to have your wedding in. Married in Manhattan? Buy them a map with your favorite tourist spots highlighted, a bag of candy from Dylan's Candy Bar, and a shiny red apple. No matter where your nuptials are, be sure to share any tourist tips you can pass along, such as suggestions for local transportation, restaurant recommendations, and, even what tourist traps should be avoided.
Snacks - Most welcome bags are simply a collection of treats. Do you and your groom have a sweet tooth? Combine your favorite candies in small cellophane bags and clear plastic boxes. Tie them with ribbons matching your wedding colors. Not having a brunch the morning after the wedding? Give them scones, tea, and jam.
Whatever you give your visiting friends and family, they will be delighted!
