Worried about all the US $$ in Chinese hands?
Not to worry America – the Chinese are starting to ship it back.
Oops, they're coming with it.
They're starting to buy America.
Ever heard of a 'self-sustaining city'?
The plan starts small – a few warehouses, living quarters for workers, a few small factories, shops and retail stores.
The China National Machinery Industry Corporation [Sinomach] plans that it will become a 50-square mile self-sustaining city – modeled after Shenzhen, China.
NOTE: in the early 1970s Shenzhen was a fishing village. Today it is a city of 14 million.
And who owns Sinomach? Try the Chinese Communist Party. Are you starting to feel all warm and fuzzy about this deal?
This is Boise – today…
Ask yourself – why haven't you been hearing about this in the news?
Why hasn't Obama been bragging about this 'new investment' in one of his daily teleprompter events?
WHY is this flying under the radar? Has the Press been obsessed with Weiner's weiner? Which story is more important?
Seems the Chinese have similar interests in Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania – all the rust-belt areas where cash-strapped states will look at the cash and not at the consequences. State governors and state legislatures will be acting like runaway teenage girls at the bus stop – easy prey for pimps flashing a roll of greenbacks.
Local and state officials will be all aglow with 'jobs-jobs'-jobs!'
Here's the Chinese trick:
The real money-making jobs will be done by Chinese.
The taxpayer-funded infrastructure jobs – the new roads – the new schools – the new hospitals – will all be paid for by – [drum roll please] – the US TAXPAYERS!
And since these 'Self-Sustaining Cities' will be in one of the 257 'foreign trade zones' – they WON'T have to pay taxes!! They will essentially be little pieces of Communist China – probably with a big degree of Chinese diplomatic sovereignty – right in the middle of the USA!
And you were worried about massive Mexican migration over our Southern Border?
China has a population of 1,332,000,000
Mexico has a mere 111,000,000 – just 1/12th of that.
Much of China is not very suited for human habitation. It's called the Gobi Desert. China's population is crammed along the coast, and even by restricting births China is running out of room for people. The vast unpopulated areas of the American and Canadian West are very inviting.
And since our current pResident really likes Socialism, and really doesn't believe in borders, and doesn't have a clue about how the world really works, – for the Chinese there is no time like the present. He even has a half-brother living in China. Perfect!
Remember a few years ago when they tried to buy a naval base in Long Beach? The Chinese plan in 100-year increments. Americans plan as far as the next election cycle, – or their next paycheck.
Imagine – a half-million Chinese workers here – suddenly allowed to have as many kids as they wanted . . .
Wouldn't your liberal Democrats want them to be instant US Citizens?
All those Chinese kids going through your school systems now – earning PhDs and getting good jobs in high tech – – you really think they're all just economic refugees? They're really all very friendly. Right?
They couldn't possibly be the advanced party. Nah!
See if ANY of the political candidates in 2012 will talk about this. See if they even KNOW anything about it. Remember – it's not getting any ink in the MSM.

EVIAN LES-BAINS, France – Majors may be tough, but it is tougher being left out.
Just ask Christina Kim.
She is relishing being back in the major championship mix this week at the Evian Championship. She opened with a 67 Friday and followed with a 73 on Saturday, leaving her 2-under for the championship.
After qualifying for every major championship the first nine years of her career, Kim failed to qualify for the Ricoh Women's British Open at the end of last year. She also failed to qualify for the Kraft Nabisco in the first major this year.
What did she do the week of Kraft?
"I burrowed myself in a hole in my bedroom," Kim, 29, cracked. "I wept for two days."
Through injury and a battle with depression that she has openly discussed, Kim's game slumped. A two-time LPGA winner, she missed the cut in all four majors in 2011. She slipped to 109th on the LPGA money list last year and found herself at LPGA Q-School looking to regain her status. Her climb back hasn't been easy. She missed five consecutive cuts before teeing it up at Evian, but there's something about this place that inspires her.
"I have some incredible memories at this golf course," Kim said. "I've almost won it a couple times, came relatively close, within a couple shots."
Kim tied for sixth at Evian in '07 and tied for fifth in '05.
With those missed majors behind her now, Kim is looking to build some new major memories.
"I'm back here, and that's all that really matters," Kim said. "Everything I went through just really helps me relish where I am now."

ELIZABETH — The CAU Community Players will launch their 2013 season with open auditions for this year's performance of Disney's musical "Beauty and the Beast Jr." beginning Saturday, Jan. 12, preceded by a general information meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 8 at 7 p.m. in Elizabeth. Both the open auditions and informational meeting are open to the public, in addition to members and staff of Community Access Unlimited.
Tuesday's hour-long information meeting will be held at 88 West Grand Street, Elizabeth. Learn about the auditions, show, rehearsals and performance schedule. Meet the director and horeography and cast members from the 2012 production of "Seussical Jr."
Auditions will take place at 88 West Grand Street, Elizabeth on the following dates and times:

Community Access Unlimited is a nonprofit serving people with disabilities and at-risk youth, providing housing and life skills support. The CAU Community Players is a collaboration between CAU members and staff and the public to jointly stage an annual theatrical performance. Last year amateur actors from seven communities and three counties joined with CAU members and staff to stage "Seussical Jr." at Jonathan Dayton High School in Springfield, the first such joint production in Union County.
This year the CAU Community Players will put on "Beauty and the Beast" and are inviting new participants to join in the production. Open roles include: the Beast; the Beauty, Belle; supporting characters, such as Gaston, Belle's father, Maurice, and Mrs. Potts, a cook who has become a teapot; villagers, silly girls, servants and wolves; and narrators.
"The CAU Community Players and the productions we stage are wonderful opportunities for our members to interact and collaborate with the community of which they are a part," said Alyson Monaco, CAU's community integration coordinator. "It also is an ideal chance for members of the community, including children and young adults, to interact with people with disabilities and to perform side by side with them, a wonderful learning experience."
For more information about auditions or to learn about volunteering behind the scenes, visit www.caucommunityplayers.com or contact Alyson Monaco at email@example.com or 1-908-354-3040, ext. 216.

Independence Party of Minnesota Convention Elects New Leadership
June 8, 2015
Saint Paul – Delegates attending the 2015 Independence Party State Convention on June 6 at Metropolitan State University in St. Paul heard presentations from former U.S. Congressman Tim Penny, 2014 Kansas U.S. Senate candidate Greg Orman and from FairVote MN – an organization promoting ranked choice voting in elections.
On the business end of the day, Mark Meyer of Lake Crystal was elected State Chair succeeding Mark Jenkins who had served in that role for the past four years. Meyer served two terms on the Lake Crystal Wellcome School Board. He has been actively involved in the Independence Party since 2008 and served as Chair of the First Congressional District of the Independence Party.
"We are the party serving the political needs of centrists, moderates and independents," stated Meyer. "We are the party of reform, small business and the working middle class. Working together we will move back to major party status and beyond," he continued.
Phil Fuehrer of Saint Paul was elected State Party Director. Fuehrer has been with the Independence Party since 1995 serving in numerous party positions. He was most recently chair of the party's Fourth Congressional District.
"Mark Meyer and I are still fighting for the Independence Party," said Fuehrer. "Your presence shows that you are still fighting. We have a plan to develop an effective party organization and with your help we will implement it."
Meyer and Fuehrer acknowledged the recent hardships the Independence Party has experienced but noted that the party was still very much alive. They presented a comprehensive plan to revitalize the party including such items as party rebranding party image, leadership development and an increased emphasis on fundraising.
"I am excited to see the ideas and energy that Mark and Phil will bring to their new leadership roles within the Independence Party," said Mark Jenkins. "The number of new delegates and the commitment of our long standing delegates will keep the Independence Party a formidable challenger to the troublesome two party system in Saint Paul."
Delegates also re-elected Ben Thome as Secretary and Sally Paulsen as Treasurer.

In the near future, there may be a familiar addition to your doctor's office: a treadmill. This could be good news or bad news, depending on how much you love—or hate—the ol' dreadmill. (We vote for love, based on these 5 Reasons.)
A team of Johns Hopkins University cardiologists has found a way to accurately predict your risk of dying over a 10-year period based solely off how well you're able to run on a treadmill, using something they call a FIT Treadmill Score, a measure of cardiovascular health. (PS: the treadmill can also Counteract Alzheimer's.)
Here's how it works: You start walking on a treadmill at 1.7 mph, at a 10% incline. Every three minutes, you increase your speed and incline. (See the exact numbers.) While you walk and run, your doctor keeps tabs on your heart rate and how much energy you're expending (measured by METs, or metabolic equivalents of task; one MET is equal to the amount of energy you'd expect just sitting around, two METs is slow walking, and so on). When you feel like you're at your absolute limit, you stop.
When you're done, your M.D. will calculate what percentage of your maximum predicted heart rate (MPHR) you reached. (Calculate your MPHR.) It's based on age; if you're 30, it's 190. So if your heart rate reaches 162 while you're running on the treadmill, you hit 85 percent of your MPHR.)
Then, he'll use this simple formula to calculate your FIT Treadmill Score: [percentage of MPHR] + [12 x METs] – [4 x your age] + [43 if you're a women]. You're aiming for a score that's greater than 100, which means you have a 98 percent chance of surviving over the next decade. If you're between 0 and 100, you have a 97 percent chance; between -100 and -1, it's 89 percent; and less than -100, it's 62 percent.
While many regular treadmills calculate heart rate and METs, those measures aren't always accurate, so this is probably something you should do with your doctor's guidance. (See: Is Your Fitness Tracker Lying?) Still, it's a lot easier than a regular stress test, which also takes into account variables like electrocardiogram readings, and therefore is much more time-intensive. (Either way, you should definitely try some of our favorite treadmill workouts.)

7 Reasons to watch NEOZ School's Rowoon on DramaFever
After watching Click Your Heart and Cheongdamdong 111, I immediately became a Rowoon fangirl. The multi-talented idol has already shown the world that he excels in dancing, singing and acting through a romantic web drama and reality programs! While he and his boys in NEOZ School battle it out on Mnet's D.O.B (Dance or Band), I decided to list seven reasons why you should watch him on DramaFever right now.
1. He is the cutest cast member of Click Your Heart.
Even though I didn't choose his story first, his bright smile and self-confidence was very appealing. (I'm guilty of viewing Chani's storyline first, but he was second.)
2. When he covers girl group dances, it's beyond adorable.
You can't help but smile when you watch he and his boys' cute dance cover of AOA's song "Heart Attack." Who else loves Rowoon's aegyo here?
3. His humble beginnings on Cheongdamdong 111.
Episodes 2 and 3 of the 2013 reality series featured a young Rowoon as a hard-working trainee in FNC Entertainment. You get a glimpse of the charming singer and actor before stardom. I was surprised to learn that his real name is Kim Seoku. So cute!
4. His fierce dancing in NEOZ School's dance team.
Standing at almost 6' 3", he is a modern day Mr. Monument! Because he is the tallest member, it's not too hard to spot the model-like star in NEOZ School's dance practice videos
5. His looks and athletic ability make him SHINee's Minho on-screen rival.
They could be good friends in real life, but something tells me they both will be competing for the same roles in dramas and movies in the very near future. If you are a Choi Minho fan, you have to check out Rowoon!
6. He portrays an amazingly confident character on-screen.
His Click You Heart character was so positive about his athletic ability, he bet his personal life on it!
7. His coloring skills are out of this world!
Rowoon's coloring skills are better than yours! When he and his Click Your Heart co-star AOA's Mina had an artistic date, everyone's inner fangirl went wild.
What additional reasons do you have for watching the dreamy Rowoon on DramaFever?

The police believe they have dealt a major blow to the infamous drugs for gun trade with the seizure of approximately 4,000 kilograms of ganja valued at about $14 million yesterday.
The drug was recovered by the police at an abandoned guesthouse at Snow Hill in Portland.
Eighty jugs of motorised fuel measuring approximately 4,560 litres was also recovered by the team headed by Deputy Superintendent of Police, Wayne Cameron, shortly after noon.
DSP Cameron said the police think the guesthouse is a regular pick-up point for smugglers.
He said the police believe the ganja was transported to the location in trucks carrying sand.
DSP Cameron said the police have evidence the drug was to be loaded onto small fishing boats to be transferred to larger vessels and then transported to Haiti.
He further said investigations show that a portion of the drug was already removed by the drug runners, who he believes are carrying out their illicit operations along the North-East coast.
He said the police will be stepping up their operations along the coastal areas to further stem the illicit trade.

Chapter XIII
morning, Wilhelm started up with an unpleasant feeling, and found himself alone. His head was still dim with the tumult, which he had not yet entirely slept off; and the recollection of his nightly visitant disquieted his mind. His first suspicion lighted on Philina; but, on second thoughts, he conceived that it could not have been she. He sprang out of bed, and, while putting on his clothes, he noticed that the door, which commonly he used to bolt, was now ajar; though whether he had shut it on the previous night or not, he could not recollect.
But what surprised him most was the Spirits veil, which he found lying on his bed. Having brought it up with him, he had most probably thrown it there himself. It was a gray gauze; on the hem of it he noticed an inscription broidered in dark letters. He unfolded it, and read the words: F
He was struck with it, and knew not what to think or say.
At this moment Mignon entered with his breakfast. The aspect of the child astonished Wilhelm, we may almost say frightened him. She appeared to have grown taller overnight: she entered with a stately, noble air; and looked him in the face so earnestly, that he could not endure her glances. She did not touch him, as at other times, when, for morning salutation, she would press his hand, or kiss his cheek, his lips, his arm, or shoulder; but having put his things in order, she retired in silence.
The appointed time of a first-rehearsal now arrived: our friends assembled, all of them entirely out of tune from yesternights debauch. Wilhelm roused himself as much as possible, that he might not at the very outset violate the principles of diligence, which he had preached so lately with such emphasis. His practice in the matter helped him through: for practice and habit must, in every art, fill up the voids, which genius and temper in their fluctuations will so often leave.
But in the present case, our friend had especial reason to admit the truth of the remark, that no one should begin with a festivity any situation that is meant to last, particularly that is meant to be a trade, a mode of living. Festivities are fit for what is happily concluded: at the commencement, they but waste the force and zeal which should inspire us in the struggle, and support us through a long-continued labour. Of all festivities, the marriage-festival appears the most unsuitable: calmness, humility and silent hope befit no ceremony more than this.
So passed the day, which to Wilhelm seemed the most insipid he had ever spent. Instead of their accustomed conversation in the evening, the company began to yawn: the interest of Hamlet was exhausted; they rather felt it disagreeable than otherwise that the piece was to be given again next night. Wilhelm showed the evil which the Royal Dane had left; it was to be inferred from this, that he would not come again. Serlo was of that opinion; he appeared to be deep in the secrets of the Ghost; but, on the other hand, the inscription, Fly, youth! Fly! seemed inconsistent with the rest. How could Serlo be in league with any one whose aim it was to take away the finest actor of his troop?
It had now become a matter of necessity to confer on Boisterous the Ghosts part, and on the Pedant that of the King. Both declared that they had studied these sufficiently: nor was it wonderful; for, in such a number of rehearsals, and so copious a treatment of the subject, all of them had grown familiar with it; each could have exchanged his part with any other. Yet they rehearsed a little here and there, and prepared the new adventurers as fully as the hurry would admit. When the company was breaking up at a pretty late hour, Philina softly whispered Wilhelm as she passed: I must have my slippers back: thou wilt not bolt the door? These words excited some perplexity in Wilhelm, when he reached his chamber: they strengthened the suspicion that Philina was the secret visitant: and we ourselves are forced to coincide with this idea; particularly as the causes, which awakened in our friend another and a stranger supposition, cannot be disclosed. He kept walking up and down his chamber, in no quiet frame: his door was actually not yet bolted.
On a sudden, Mignon rushed into the room; laid hold of him, and cried: Master! save the house! It is on fire! Wilhelm sprang through the door; and a strong smoke came rushing down upon him from the upper story. On the street he heard the cry of fire; and the Harper, with his instrument in his hand, came down-stairs breathless through the smoke. Aurelia hurried out of her chamber, and threw little Felix into Wilhelms arms.
Save the child! cried she; and we will mind the rest.
Wilhelm did not look upon the danger as so great; his first thought was to penetrate to the source of the fire, and try to stifle it before it reached a head. He gave Felix to the Harper; commanding him to hasten down the stone stairs, which led across a little garden-vault out into the garden, and to wait with the children in the open air. Mignon took a light to show the way. He begged Aurelia to secure her things there also. He himself pierced upwards through the smoke; but it was in vain that he exposed himself to such danger. The flame appeared to issue from a neighbouring house; it had already caught the wooden floor and staircase: some others, who had hastened to his help, were suffering like himself from fire and vapour. Yet he kept inciting them; he called for water; he conjured them to dispute every inch with the flame; and promised to abide by them to the last. At this instant, Mignon came springing up, and cried: Master! save thy Felix! The old man is mad! He is killing him. Scarcely knowing what he did, Wilhelm darted down-stairs, and Mignon followed close behind him.
On the last steps, which led into the garden-vault, he paused with horror. Some heaps of fire-wood branches, and large masses of straw, which had been stowed in the place, were burning with a clear flame; Felix was lying on the ground and screaming; the Harper stood aside holding down his head, and leaned against the wall. Unhappy creature! what is this? said Wilhelm. The old man spoke not; Mignon lifted Felix, and carried him with difficulty to the garden; while Wilhelm strove to pull the fire asunder and extinguish it; but only by his efforts made the flame more violent. At last he too was forced to fly into the garden, with his hair and his eyelashes burnt; tearing the Harper with him through the conflagration, who, with singed beard, unwillingly, accompanied him.
Wilhelm hastened instantly to seek the children. He found them on the threshold of a summer-house at some distance: Mignon was trying every effort to pacify her comrade. Wilhelm took him on his knee; he questioned him, felt him; but could obtain no satisfactory account from either him or Mignon.
Meanwhile the fire had fiercely seized on several houses; it was now enlightening all the neighbourhood. Wilhelm looked at the child in the red glare of the flames; he could find no wound, no blood, no hurt of any kind. He groped over all the little creatures body; but it gave no sign of pain; on the contrary, it by degrees grew calm, and began to wonder at the blazing houses, and express its pleasure at the spectacle of beams and rafters burning all in order, like a grand illumination, so beautifully there.
Wilhelm thought not of the clothes or goods he might have lost; he felt deeply how inestimable to him was this pair of human beings, who had just escaped so great a danger. He pressed little Felix to his heart with a new emotion; Mignon too he was about to clasp with joyful tenderness, but she softly avoided this; she took him by the hand and held it fast.
Master, said she,(till the present evening she had hardly ever named him master; at first she used to name him sir, and afterwards to call him father)Master! we have escaped an awful danger; thy Felix was on the point of death.
By many inquiries, Wilhelm learned from her at last, that when they came into the vault, the Harper tore the light from her hand, and set on fire the straw. That he then put Felix down; laid his hands with strange gestures on the head of the child, and drew a knife as if he meant to sacrifice him. That she sprang forward, and snatched it from him; that she screamed, and some one from the house, who was carrying something down into the garden, came to her help, but must have gone away again in the confusion, and left the old man and the child alone.
Two or even three houses were now flaming in a general blaze. Owing to the conflagration in the vault, no person had been able to take shelter in the garden. Wilhelm was distressed about his friends, and in a less degree about his property. Not venturing to quit the children, he was forced to sit, and see the mischief spreading more and more.
In this anxious state he passed some hours. Felix had fallen asleep on his bosom; Mignon was lying at his side, and holding fast his hand. The efforts of the people finally subdued the fire. The burnt houses sank, with successive crashes, into heaps; the morning was advancing; the children awoke, and complained of bitter cold; even Wilhelm in his light dress could scarcely brook the chillness of the falling dew. He took the young ones to the rubbish of the prostrate building; where, among the ashes and the embers, they found a very grateful warmth.
The opening day collected, by degrees, the various individuals of the party. All of them had got away unhurt, no one had lost much. Wilhelms trunk was saved among the rest.
Towards ten oclock, Serlo called them to rehearse their Hamlet, at least some scenes of the piece, in which fresh players were to act. He had some debates to manage, on this point, with the municipal authorities. The clergy required, that after such a visitation of Providence, the playhouse should be shut for some time; and Serlo on the other hand maintained that, both for the purpose of repairing the damage he had suffered, and of exhilarating the depressed and terrified spirits of the people, nothing could be more in place than the exhibition of some interesting piece. His opinion in the end prevailed; and the house was full. The actors played with singular fire, with more of a passionate freedom than at first. The feelings of the audience had been heightened by the horrors of the previous night, and their appetite for entertainment had been sharpened by the tedium of a wasted and dissipated day; every one had more than usual susceptibility for what was strange and moving. Most of them were new spectators, invited by the fame of the piece; they could not compare the present with the preceding evening. Boisterous played altogether in the style of the unknown Ghost; the Pedant too had accurately seized the manner of his predecessor; nor was his own woful aspect without its use to him; for it seemed as if, in spite of his purple cloak and his ermine collar, Hamlet were fully justified in calling him a king of shreds and patches.
Few have ever reached the throne by a path more singular than his had been. But although the rest, and especially Philina, made sport of his preferment, he himself signified that the Count, a consummate judge, had at the first glance predicted this and much more of him. Philina, on the other hand, recommended lowliness of mind to him; saying she would now and then powder the sleeves of his coat, that he might remember that unhappy night in the Castle, and wear his crown with meekness.

Re: Help me improve my diet
Your wording was a little confusing. You are having trouble being able to eat all of it and you feel full all day because you are eating so much, or You are having trouble because you've been eating all of this food and aren't feeling full all day?

From Guernsey, Channel Islands:
My two and a half year old daughter was diagnosed 16 months ago and she is still not stable. She has been on Lantus and NovoRapid but recently been changed to Levemir as the long acting insulin. This seems to have made no difference and, in fact, her sugars are probably worse. I have also noticed that her hypoglycemia symptoms seem to have lessened, she has put on weight, and is more moody. I'm not sure if this is the correct insulin for her and would appreciate any advise.
I think that the major problem is that very young children are extremely variable in their activity, so getting the insulin regimen and dose right is tricky. However, I think that a basal-bolus (multi-injection) system such as you describe is very suitable. All I can suggest is that you discuss this with your daughter's diabetes team. I don't know what level of support you receive in the Channel Islands, but you may have to consider seeking a second opinion on the "mainland". Having said that, a regimen of Levemir and NovoRapid is state of the art.

The Best digital learning solution
in Finland 2016
"Evaluation guides studying and learning more than any other factor in the learning situation."
(Entwistle & Entwistle, 1992; Hodgson & Pang, 2012; Segers & Dochy, 2006; Struyven, Dochy & Janssens, 2005)
"Integrating formative evaluation into the teaching/learning process has huge influence on learning."
(Hattie, J. (2012) Visible Learning for Teachers.)
"A new approach to evaluations that enables self, peer, group and guardian
evaluations in an easily applicable environment. The innovative product has
huge potential to develop and be recognised internationally. In the school
world Qridi supports a learning centred approach, as well as, work related
to the new curriculum. "
Olli-Pekka Heinonen, director general for the Finnish National Agency for Education
Qridi has been developed together with innovative Finnish teachers and experts, based on the most recent results of studies into learning. Qridi has special interfaces through which teachers can manage their learner groups. It is a comprehensive digital tool for formative evaluation, providing an easy-to-use environment in which learners can perform self, peer and group evaluations and where evaluations can also be made by parents and teachers. There is a task list that helps teachers see in real time the progress that the learners have made in the tasks assigned. Teachers and learners can together set personal goals whose fulfilment can be monitored easily. When all of its features are in use, Qridi is an excellent school work organisation and evaluation tool for both teachers and learners.
Learners can use Qridi via a web browser or mobile application. Qridi has a clear, visual interface that allows learners respond to the self, peer and group evaluations assigned by teachers, self-evaluate the tasks assigned to them, and reflect on their learning in words and photos in a diary. Learners can set goals together with teachers and monitor the progress they have made towards achieving them. By monitoring their progress using versatile reports and setting goals, learners can better understand and direct their learning.
Qridi's superior feature is its reports for teachers, learners and parents. It is possible to prepare broad summaries about evaluations, which help teachers' work, create a good basis for discussions with learners and above all help learners develop a more in-depth understanding of their learning. With Qridi, it is possible to direct and monitor learners' individual learning processes in a variety of ways. Teachers using Qridi at work will undoubtedly see how evaluation guides learners in their learning. The topics that one decides to observe and document will be strengthened in learners' learning efforts.
Qridi can be used to evaluate and, at the same time, teach a broad array of skills (21st century skills): behaviour and the whole made up of knowledge, skills, attitudes and will. The tool has especially been designed for guidance and the evaluation of continuous learning.
Teachers have access to a wealth of tools: learner self, peer and group evaluations, evaluations by the teacher and parents, a learning diary and a task list.
There are separate user interfaces for teachers, learners and parents.
All evaluations are saved under the learner's name in the system. Qridi offers easy-to-read reports as trend lines and different graphs according to learner and group.
The diary, in turn, is an excellent place for learners to reflect on their learning process in words and pictures using the data saved in Qridi.
Task lists give learners and teachers a clear picture about the progress made by the learners in completing their tasks. This also allows learners to evaluate and understand their learning.
In Qridi, learners and teachers can set personal goals for learners and monitor their achievement in real time. The goals set can be for a short period or cover the whole school year. Versatile evaluation tasks assigned by teachers to learners help monitor the achievement of goals.
Qridi is great and handy to use. I would recommend using it because it eases the teacher's workload and increases learner participation. I want to carry on utilizing Qridi also in the future.
We are very happy with Qridi. It has made the daily evaluation processes faster and easier. The learners have happily taken into use the easy self evaluation tool. We will continue using Qridi daily, after each sports lesson.
Qridi has brought a new aspect into assessing group work. I have used it as a part of project work, to evaluate the whole process. Learners have evaluated both their own, as well as, their peers work several times during the project. This way I have been able to gain insight from all the participants included in the group.
I have utilized the data during evaluations and when meeting guardians. The different kind of summaries have been a demonstrative add-on while presenting individual learner's working manners and participation to parents and guardians in meetings.
The evaluations are fast and easy to create. Additionally, the learners can use the same evaluation criteria as the teachers, this creating a more unified evaluation regardless of the subject.
The tests, created within the assignments feature, are immediately checked this naturally eases the teacher's everyday workload.
Learners like Qridi and get excited about the assignments. It is nice to view the results together. The assignments also allow the teacher to check the progress of students to ensure that the taught topic has been learned or if repetition is needed. Qridi makes evaluations easier and enables versatile and comprehensive evaluations.
Using the Qridi-application made learning mathematics a more positive experience.
Student, Senior Secondary School
With the Qridi learning diary tool you can easily document the different phases of creating handicrafts, both in words and pictures. In the learning diary the learner can elaborate ones thought and ideas on the intended work, making it easier for the teacher to supervise and offer guidance for the learner to reach the wanted outcome.

NORWICH Three representatives from the New York State Office of Real Property Services were repeatedly questioned about Chenango Countys dropping equalization rates during a Nov. 13 presentation before the Chenango County Board of Supervisors.
They were invited to explain where rates come from and to educate town supervisors about the roles played by their local assessors in determining them. Several town assessors were also invited and attended.
The Office of Real Property Services (ORPS) sets equalization rates across the state by measuring the relationship of locally assessed values to the regions real estate market. The assessed value divided by the market value equals the equalization rate.
The rate, which is certified every year, is whats used to calculate school and property taxes. In order to maintain equality amongst taxpayers and to abide by real property tax law the states office urges towns to keep assessments as uniform as possible.
One third of New York is reassessed in any given year, and half of the state maintains a 100 percent equalization rate. Chenango Countys towns range from 100 percent (New Berlin) to 47 percent (Pitcher). Most towns have dropped over the last five years and are somewhere in the 60s percentile. All but the Town of Norwich (currently at 53 percent) saw there rates drop from 2006.
Through their questions, a handful of town officials complained that the rising number of real estate sales in Chenango County - the buyers of which have been paying much higher prices than assessments - should be tempered by its under-populated, rural and poor character.

text: Does being in a good marriage make you healthier? Researchers in Ohio have been looking into the correlation between wellness and relationship quality, finding out, among other things, that couples in negative or stressful relationships have lower immune-system response than those in stable, supportive relationships. Marital conflict and hostility, in particular, has been shown to take a profound toll on the body.

Last week GPS giant TomTom apologized publicly after it was revealed that the company had sold user's data to police in the Netherlands. The GPS data was then used to help police set speed traps for motorists.
Because sales from TomTom's GPS devices have really slowed down, the company has been looking for other ways to maintain revenues. The company has been selling users' GPS data to several different places, not just the Dutch police.
Chief Executive Harold Goddijn said that he was not aware that the GPS data would be used in the battle against speeding motorists and said the company would change its licensing agreements to stop the practice.
Unfortunately this news comes as no surprise to most people. There's money to be made from knowledge about where each of us is at any given moment. A lot of money. That data can be converted into contextual advertising revenue, used to create compelling new services or improve the value of existing products.
Recently corporate giants such as Apple, Google, and Microsoft have all been taking heat for the way they handle users' GPS-based location data. Lawsuits have been filed and now the US Federal Government is thoroughly investigating the way these companies are using their customers' data.
Most people believe that citizens should have the right to know who owns and has access to our personal GPS location data. At what point has an individual's rights to privacy been violated? The line has to be drawn somewhere, so we are waiting for lawmakers to make a decision.

In Metro Manila, no matter what you do, pollution, stress, fast food, the wrong toothpaste, hormonal imbalances and lack of sleep will lead your skin to have breakouts. They are painful, stinging and itchy and can cause hardship annoyance. There are many myths and old-wives tales. Sabi ni Mommy, soap and water lang maka-tuyo ng tighyawat mo" ["All you need is to wash it soap and water"] to "Huwag mo na pansinin lalong lalaki" ["Don't mind it otherwise it'll grow much bigger!"]. We've tried just about everything except peel our very skins! There are many cure alls in the market. We've even tried toothpaste, I tried that, all I did was end up burning my skin L During my day it was a famous astringent endorsed by a movie legend was what most of my ate's used to dry out their zits. Nowadays our options are almost limitless from the over the counter to having your own personal line of medication advised by a derma. Recently though, Doctor Belo and her medical group has once again released a line of anti pimple skin care to take care of the Filipina skin in Philippine weather with the power of bee venom.
Product brief from the Belo Group:
- "BeloEssentialsAcnePro is a range of scientifically-formulated products, each with a distinct benefit for smoother and pimple-free skin.
- This powerful anti-acne line is infused with Purified Bee Venom clinically proven to treat mild to moderate acne and reduce inflammation"
Step 1: Cleanse with AcnePro Pimple-Fighting Gel Face Wash
• Thoroughly cleanses without over-drying the skin
• Removes acne-causing bacteria & excess oil to prevent future breakouts
• Anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial
• Oil-free
• Hypoallergenic
• Non-comedogenic (won't clog pores)
The facial wash retails for PhP99.75
Thus I start using the entire line by using the AcnePro Pimple – Fighting Gel Face Wash
Everyday, at least twice a day, makeup or no, we wash our face. It's almost instinctive as soon as we get up from bed. Besides it really shows if you don't wash your face in the morning, don't it? And even for lunch, after P.E. it's really hard not to wash even just your face just to freshen up! This facial wash you can bring with you in your gym bag, even if you accidentally squeeze it out of the tube the facial was is a clear gel and won't spread on your stuff with milky white muck. It smells quite soapy yet mild which I appreciate. So yeah it doesn't smell like grandma's perfume J It is not as foamy as other facial washes though.
The product description and the ingredients are below in the pictures. The bee venom is a major part of the ingredient list. This bee venom is the major ingredient in this line to help clear but not dry out your skin.
Product brief from the Belo Group:
"Step 2: Tone with AcnePro Treatment Toner
• Unclogs congested pores & dries up pimples
• Reduces inflammation and red marks
• Soothes skin from irritation
• Oil-free
• Fragrance-free
• Hypoallergenic
• Non-comedogenic (won't clog pores)"
The toner retails at PhP79.75"The toner has a slight scent of denatured ethyl alcohol it does sting upon initial application of pimples. The toner also dries up pretty quickly so the drying stinging sensation does not last. What I like about these toners is that you can also use these on simple cuts and scrapes. I use some of these toners to simple cuts because they have alcohol anyway. The product description is also on the bottle and the ingredients are listed with bee venom as one of the top on the ingredient list.
After rinsing off the facial wash a cotton ball with a good amount of the toner to wipe across my face is the next step. I often warn people about using products that contain ethyl alcohol frequently on their skin. I will continue to do so. But if you feel that the use of a product whose major component is ethyl alcohol is not drying on your skin, then this is the gentle toner for you. This step is the step that makes my skin feel squeaky clean.
I do feel a sting when swabbing over the cotton bud or cotton ball over my pimples new or old. This pain does not last.
And for really rough days where you develop pimples you can spot treat them with Acne Pro Pimple Gel:
"Step 3: Repair with AcnePro Pimple Gel
• Dries up pimples
• Calms inflammation while promoting wound-healing & anti-bacterial action
• Lightens blemishes that pimples leave behind
• Oil-free
• Fragrance-free
• Hypoallergenic
• Non-comedogenic"Retails for PhP149.75
This one comes in a box where you can also see the product description and where the ingredients are listed.
And much like the facial wash this spot treatment is also a clear gel.
Every month I do develop pimples every month due to my period. This month I got one at my left temple. As luck would have it. I'd get these breakouts in these outlying areas right at the tips or areas that you don't normally apply a decent amount of skin care. L
I must admit, this is an overnight pimple. You know the type, the ones that suddenly erupt overnight? Well unlike the toner, applying the pimple gel does not sting. The pimple gel dries and gets absorbed by my skin in less than a minute. I believe that my pimple as shown in my picture was already 'ripe' and is already easy enough to open with just mild touch upon applying the AcnePro Pimple Gel. Given this fact, this allowed the ingredients of the AcnePro Pimple Gel worked well in and around my wound and dried my pimple overnight. Even I was skeptical, but results do not lie.
A pimple's life cycle is pretty long and it takes quite sometime before the 'eye' develops and eventually pops out or is absorbed by our skin's inflammatory process to clear out the cause of the pimple. I suggest taking the advice to heart, do not pop zits. You will just end up infecting them L So far and based on my experience, with the bee venom and or ethyl alcohol, the Belo AcnePro Pimple Care line has helped my skin heal itself. It is quite effective in drying out my gross zits. For the price, availability and effectivity, I highly recommend the AcnePro Pimple-Fighting Gel Face Wash and the AcnePro Pimple Gel to ladies and gentlemen with acne or a few pimples. Say GOODBYE PIMPY!

Music Reviews: The Measure [SA] – Songs About People… And Fruit 'n Shit
The Measure [SA] have been attracting a fair bit of attention in the world of punk rock of late, and deservedly so. While it's a lazy comparison and one I probably wouldn't be making if it weren't for the frontwoman's gender, when you first hear this band it's almost inevitable that you'll think of Discount (possibly Fifth Hour Hero if you're reeeeeeally young and dig the French-Canadian scene). That said it doesn't take long for the Measure [SA]'s grittier late-00s edge to make itself known, so let's ditch that lazy reference point and look at what this record has to offer.
The honest and casually-titled Songs About People… And Fruit N' Shit is the Measure [SA]'s first 12″ EP, although they've already had three prolific years that have seen one album, four singles and 7″s as well as a half-dozen splits with the likes of Off With Their Heads and O Pioneers!!! (not to mention other bands I'm not mentioning because – shameface time – I've not even heard of them). The band's songwriting chops are already clearly established and it shows in the confidence permeating this EP. Strong melodies underpin each song the band offers up, and the dual male-female vocals make for quality punk rock singalongs.
Standouts have to be the already-classic 'Revisionist' (which has surely already appeared on umpteen compilations, blogs and music sites – I know I've already managed to download the sucker three times without realising) which sinks its hooks in deep, and 'Hello Bastards' which nails the band's colours to the wall with the repeated chorus vocal "I want to be the song you never let go", alternately singing and screaming passionate sentiments in a love song to punk rock.
Pop punk is in a good place right now and bands like the Measure [SA] are cementing that position. Come play a basement in Brighton sometime soon, huh?

PublicInvest Research positive on VSI's rights share subscription
Posted on 23 July 2017 - 08:40pm

PETALING JAYA: PublicInvest Research is positive on VS Industry Bhd's (VSI) plans to take up 43.5% of the rights shares to be issued by its Hong Kong-listed subsidiary V.S. International Group Limited (VSIG).
"We are positive on this development, with the group also having the opportunity to potentially increase its shareholding in the China-based operations, which are set to record stronger growth numbers ahead," it said in a report last Friday.
It remained affirmed of VSI's prospects and maintained its "outperform" call on the company, with an unchanged target price of RM2.36.
Last week, VSIG announced a rights issue on a one-for-four basis to raise between HK$105.8 million (RM58.1 million) and HK$114.5 million (RM62.8 million) for expansion in China operations.
VSI's 43.5% stake in the company will see it forking out about RM25.2 million to subscribe for its entitled portion based on the subscription price of HK$0.23 (12.6 sen) per rights share.
"This will be of no issue given its huge RM301.2 million cash pile as at April 30, 2017, though it has indicated that it will be financed entirely via borrowings. VSIG is reportedly in discussions to secure multiple large contracts from new customers, hence this exercise in preparation for the potential likelihood," said PublicInvest Research.
Besides VSI's full subscription for its entitled portion, other key shareholders in VSIG namely Datuk Beh Kim Ling, Datin Gan Chu Cheng and Datuk Gan Sem Yam who collectively own 9.7% in VSIG have also undertaken to subscribe for their respective portions.
From the proceeds, HK$35 million will be used to repay short-term borrowings taken previously to fund construction of new warehouses and for working capital, HK$9 million will be used for the purchase of a new dual-lane Surface Mount Technology assembly line, HK$12 million to purchase new high-tonnage injection machines, HK$23 million to enhance automation and the balance for working capital.
VSI's share price rose 4 sen or 1.95% to close at RM2.09 last Friday with a total of 7.44 million shares traded, giving it a market capitalisation of RM2.47 billion.

A well-known technology that has long been used in biomedical imaging also serves as a natural test-bed for quantum computing. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) manipulates the quantum states of nuclear "spins" in molecules. Because the nuclei behave like tiny magnets, they can be controlled and manipulated using magnetic fields and radiofrequency pulses — and thus serve as qubits. So far, NMR has been the most successful system in implementing quantum algorithms.
A team of researchers led by faculty at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) Raymond Laflamme and David Cory hold the current record for the most well-characterized qubits harnessed in a single experiment (12).
Other IQC faculty including Jonathan Baugh, Joseph Emerson, Debbie Leung, and Michele Mosca have also made numerous critical contributions to the development of spin-based quantum computing.
Future research will require a platform that can be scaled up to harness an increasing number of qubits. Trapping and controlling single electron spins in nanoscale devices (such as point defects, quantum wires or semiconductor quantum dots) is at the heart of research done by IQC researchers Jonathan Baugh and David Cory. Creating a viable system with many qubits is key to realizing the full power of quantum information processing.
Spin-based systems can be used not only as quantum computer prototypes but also as sensors. IQC faculty member David Cory's research in this area has included the improvement of neutron interferometry, in collaboration with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Maryland. The development of interferometers inspired by quantum error correction techniques has already resulted in greatly enhanced robustness and permitted the design of special purpose NI for new applications to magnetic and soft matter. Quantum actuators currently under development in Cory's lab include electron spin control of nuclear spins, electron spin control of transport, optical control of electron and nuclear spins, and electron spin control of superconducting circuits.
Ultimately, this research aims to integrate quantum sensors and actuators into more complex systems and achieve higher levels of functionality. These complex systems could be used, for example, to detect single spins or even serve as building blocks for the development of practical quantum information processors.

Q: What about the new Enterprise version MySQL?
Its our first [enterprise version]. It was launched a month ago. The initial reactions have been very positive. But note here that we launched the Enterprise version with [release] 5.28, which is a new version, but it was not a major new feature release. And the monitoring service that we discussed earlier is as a release candidate so it will come out as GA in about one month.
Marten Mickos, MySQL CEO
So the announcement happened a month ago, the product was immediately available, but in typical open source fashion we add new functionality all the time. Its release early, release often. We dont sit and wait it for it, to make some big bang announcement.
Q; What does MySQL have planned for 2007?
It will be the growth into the modern enterprise. And I say modern specifically to show that we are not trying to get the migration deals from Oracle. Were trying to get the new applications that are being deployed. And thats the part that is growing much more rapidly than anything else.
And we just won a big deal in Sweden. The Swedish police decided to build all their new applications on Linux, JBoss and MySQL.
Q: What will your main focus be in the years ahead?
We think we are powering the new online world. And we learned this trade in Web 1.0 and Web 2.0, but it stretches into the enterprise today. So its online in terms of data marts, its online in terms of departmental, data warehousing, and e-commerce. And its online in terms of telephony and telecom applications. So thats our focus very much.
We just see that with one billion people on the Internet today, and companies being more and more Internet-enabled, thats where the big, big growth will be.
Q: So the new growth will be powering the online world. In your view, is this a different world than the enterprise world?
I think there will be an old part of the enterprise world that refuses to see the new stuff and they will continue to run on mainframes and old Oracle databases. But the new ones are the ones being built now that follow the new scale-out architecture and service-oriented architecture, and they will run on us.
|Tech Quotes
There will be an old part of the enterprise world that refuses to see the new stuff and they will continue to run on mainframes and old Oracle databases.
Marten Mickos
Q: What are the challenges for MySQL?
For a growth company its important to stay focused and just have your internal things in shape. Just managing growth to focus the organization, keep it running very fast, and fix the problems quickly. There are always things that go wrong and then you need to fix them quickly.
I dont want to sound too arrogant or anything, but I think out in the marketplace were just enormously popular. We have so many passionate customers who are just loving this.
How many complaints per year do I get elevated to me? I think Ive had four this year four customers whove had situations they had to raise to my level. And with millions of users I think its just amazing how well weve been able to serve them.
And keeping up with that takes a lot of internal work. We have a fantastic support team and we need to make sure they have the training and the manpower they need. And all that happens behind the scenes, but thats what weve been spending a lot of time on.

Thanks! I never remember to check my Vocalpoint account until you mention it.
I got notification of this when it first came out but I was at work and didn't know if it was mail/print or what so I said "I'll get it when I get home" which all means it's not going to happen between trying to get kids on homework, checking up on the roast I had in all day, taking care of some chores then spending all night with the kids out at the park since my oldest had charity work she was doing down there. Sadly today they are out of coupons… just my luck. Sadly Vocalpoint has gotten so popular there are very few promotions I get to participate in.

text: I downloaded the Flatmii Software from Flatmii's website, it comes in the form of a RAR. However It will not let me extract the file or run it. Any ideas? I have tried downloading it many times. ! Cannot execute "C:\DOCUME~1\......\Flatmii_v1.0.exe" thats all she tells me... I am not overly familiar with WinRar so any any advice would be good. I searched the forums but found no answer or issues of the same sort.. I am so close to trying this i can taste it. Mahalo! HuskermanAZ
