What's a brand to do?
Hip Californian t-shirt purveyors American Apparel recently caught some attention with the display in one the company's NYC brick-and-mortars: mannequins complete with nipples, pubic hair and see-through lingerie—just before Valentine's Day. As you might expect, these realer-than-average mannequins generated some conversation.
At first glance, the move seems to be a not-so-subtle, attention-grabbing stunt (not unlike…err, some headlines you may have seen in the past). It's certainly a bit of that; the higher-ups at American Apparel surely knew this was a conversation-starter considering last week's holiday. But there's more to it.
It's worth thinking about this instance in comparison to the garishly pink and sugar-coated Valentine's Day displays that are typical of many retailers – walking into any big box store last week hurt my eyes. So loud. So bright. Gigantic, highlighter-pink banners, plush toys, heart-shaped boxes, and all of that good stuff. It's what we're generally conditioned to think of when someone mentions "Valentine's Day."
So it is that something so normal to the human form comes off as a "stunt"—and that's exactly what the brand had in mind. Per a statement released after the media took notice of the display:
"American Apparel is a company that celebrates natural beauty, and the Lower East Side Valentine's Day window continues that celebration. We created it to invite passers-by to explore the idea of what is 'sexy' and consider their comfort with the natural female form. This is the same idea behind our advertisements which avoid many of the photoshopped and airbrushed standards of the fashion industry."
Plenty of digital ink was spilled on the mannequins—and not without the encouragement of American Apparel itself. As noted by the Washington Post, it's certainly "more capitalist than feminist." But judgments on motives or whether the mannequins are in what one might consider "good taste" aside, it's a noteworthy example of a brand leveraging its identity to make a splash.
Because you're not going to find similar mannequins in Macy's. American Apparel hasn't shied away from risqué marketing in the past; portions of its online shopping portal are decidedly NSFW. The Valentine's Day display is adherent to American Apparel's established brand standards, and it bucks a couple of norms—both in terms of what you're used to seeing in storefronts around this time of year, and what you might expect from a mannequin selling lingerie.
What do you think? Are the mannequins a successful utilization of the American Apparel brand?

On nursing wear
Hello everyone! Did you invest in nursing top and dresses when your children were born?
During my last trip to Apso Bibi before my son was born, I tried on and almost bought a couple of nursing tops. As the bill was already substantial due to the other stuff I had to buy for the end of my pregnancy, in the end I put them aside. I thought about most people I know, and realized that I have never seen virtually any of them wearing nursing tops when they were breastfeeding. Plus I was not even sure whether I was going to need them, because with my son I had to start pumping and bottle-feeding shortly after he was born.
Since this time breastfeeding went well from the beginning and I'd like to continue until my baby boy is at least six months old, this time I really pondered the issue more closely. I ended up in the "against nursing top" court. Two main reasons. First, I am already not a big fan of maternity wear, and the latter is ten times prettier than nursing wear. Second, something gotta give -- I have to already invest some money in regular clothing because it will be a while before I fit back into my pre-pregnancy clothing. Third, I preferred to invest into a good nursing bra.
If you ever nursed, you know that you need at least a couple of those. I purchased them while I was still pregnant, because they seemed such a good investment at the time. Nonetheless, of the six nursing bra I own, I discovered that none of them was comfortable to accommodate my engorged breast when I started breastfeeding. Plus, have you ever tried to hit the road without a camisole when it is minus 20 degrees Celsius outside?
This is why I did some research about nursing camisoles. Let me tell you, the options are limited. Camisoles without support keep your "stuff" way too lose. Those with a bralette can be too tight. (And stay away from this one by Molly Ades because the bralette is actually too small to fit the cup size it is intended for! Tried and tossed.) I ended up falling in love with Thyme Maternity's Nursing Cami with Shaping Liner (pictured above). At 40$ a pop, it is very reasonably priced. The material is thick and it really does slim the tummy area. Plus, it is almost waterproof -- a blessing for those occasional leaks. Totally recommended!
P.S. For the best of me I could not find any pretty nursing top, but if you are interested to go down this road you may want to check out the exhaustive feature in The Guardian...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Statements in observance of the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech:
"My parents did their fair share and I feel like we have to keep the fight alive... This is hands-on history." —Frantz Walker, 46, a honey salesman from Baltimore, who attended the anniversary march with his son Nicholas, 10, and daughter, Malaika, 8, since his parents were active in civil rights movement.
"Whether it's protecting voting rights, providing equal rights to the LGBT community, or making sure that people with disabilities have the opportunity to live fulfilling lives, the work to complete Dr. King's dream is far from finished." — Rep. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill.
"He was a pastor, he was a prophet, he was a faith leader. It was that faith and the spirit of God that infused that movement." — The Rev. Bernice King, daughter.
"I thought we would be a lot further along than we are 50 years after hearing King's speech." —John Pruitt, 83, of Huntsville, Ala., a voter rights advocate who attended both the anniversary ceremony and 1963 march.
"In many ways, this singular event redefined the American experience and, to this day, Dr. Martin Luther King's dream of an America without the burdens of prejudice and discrimination remains an unparalleled vision of our county's potential." — Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla.
"Dr. King was on this Earth just 39 years, but the ideals that guided his life of conscience and purpose are eternal...There's still a need for every American to help hasten the day when Dr. King's vision is made real in every community — when what truly matters is not the color of a person's skin, but the content of their character." —President George W. Bush.
"The disability rights movement that I'm a part of that I dedicate my life to is actually an extension of the original civil rights movement. I wanted to do everything I can to school the boys in the ways of the civil rights movement and not just generally but how it effects them personally." —Ollie Cantos, 43, a lawyer from Arlington, Va., who attended the commemorative ceremony with his 14-year-old triplets, Leo, Nick and Steven.
"Today we honor the vision and dedication of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the hundreds of thousands of Americans who came to our nation's capital to demand an end to discrimination. We are forever grateful for their courage, commitment, and capacity to change the course of our nation's history." — Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla.
"It's a history lesson that they can take with them for the rest of their lives." —Jerome Williams, 57, a plumber from Washington, D.C., who attended the anniversary ceremony with his wife and two children.

The death of a loved one is one of the most difficult experiences any person may have. Losing a close family member can have tremendous ramifications, including emotional trauma and long-lasting grief. In addition, a person's sudden death by negligence can add to a tragedy via the fact that the death may have been preventable. Families are likely to feel angry, frustrated and even outraged. In such situations it is very helpful to have a strong and capable ally.
Camden County wrongful death attorneys Marmero & Mammano are experienced in dealing with unexpected loss and its consequences. When a person dies unexpectedly, there are often huge costs that the surviving family members must suddenly deal with. There are funeral expenses, often many medical bills and other costs associated with a person's passing. A well-prepared wrongful death case can help a family pursue compensation for these and other expenses.
A wrongful death suit doesn't "put a price" on a person's life. Rather, it acknowledges that the deceased cannot be brought back and their irrevocable absence carries a financial cost. When a person's death is caused by the negligence of another person, such as in a car accident, it is possible to hold accountable the negligent party. Still, this may be a complex task requiring knowledge, experience, assertiveness and thorough scrutiny of the death itself.
The counsel provided by Marmero & Mammano serves multiple purposes: to guide a grieving family through the system of seeking compensation, to hold a negligent party responsible for the calamity it caused, to resolve cases in an appropriate manner and many more. The attorneys are always prepared to go to trial and fight for families inside the courtroom or at the negotiation table. From fatal medical errors to workplace deaths, tragic situations deserve the utmost care and experience in handling.

This is an exterior doorway, reusing what was formerly the priest's doorway in the S wall of the chancel. Limestone.
Of one order: two courses of plain plinth, a plain and chamfered course. The first course of the jambs begins a narrow chamfer after a short length of plain-and-square; no chamfer stop is identifiable. The jambs and arch are continuous and the arch is round-headed. The label is only partial, at the top; it has a rather heavy appearance, but the usual chamfered and plain profile.

text: Although it's a newer product, we actually found quite a few reviews for Alpha Testosterone Booster. We're thinking there are so many because of the amazing, yet exclusive trial the manufacturers are currently offering. But, more on that below. Most customers experienced a range of benefits within just the first week. Many claimed having more energy and motivation to work out and stay healthy. While others focused more on the sexual benefits, saying they lasted as long as their partner needed in the bedroom. Some others noticed longer-lasting and bigger erections even. All in all, we're very excited for this product, because it is already changing many men's lives.

Any other wires attached to your receiver can also make good noise antennas, especially the power cord, which is attached to your home's wiring, and coupled to all the noisy stuff running on it. Get some ferrite beads designed for EMI control, and start snapping them on any wire attached to the receiver. Keep snapping them on until you stop getting improvement.
If you have cooperative neighbors, do the same to their noisy electronics. Ferrite beads work for keeping EMI out of your receiver, and also for preventing it from leaving the source in the first place.
Once that's done, the next thing is to get the antenna as far away from other noise sources as possible. Powerlines, neighbors, etc. Put it on the tallest tower allowed in your neighborhood. In urban areas, your options are limited, but do what you can.
The rest is just trying to null the noise based on its direction, or it's polarization, or something else. Every antenna has a particular polarization and radiation pattern. You don't know the same of your noise sources, but just by playing with the orientation of the antenna you might by chance find an arrangement that works well. Try not to be parallel to power lines, etc. A directional antenna helps, but is probably impracticably large at HF.
At this point, you are running out of options. Some of the noise is in the far field of the antenna, and there just isn't much you can do about this besides move.
Other noise is in the near field, which at HF, can be quite big. In this region your antenna isn't acting as an antenna, but rather one winding of a transformer, or one plate of a capacitor.
There is one additional game you can play here that might help. Remember that electromagnetic radiation is made of two fields: an electric field and a magnetic field. In the far field, these two are inseparably linked, related by the impedance of free space. However, in the near field, you can have a strong electric field and a week magnetic field (capacitors), or vice-versa (transformers).
You can build different antennas which, at some distance in the near-field, have a different sensitivity to one type of field or the other. W8JI has a good article on small loop antennas, and describes this in some detail. In particular, there's this great graph:
A high impedance means the antenna is more sensitive to electric rather than magnetic fields. So, you can see that if your noise source is very close (less than 10 meters for this antenna) and is largely E-field noise, you'd want a loop.
However, keep in mind:
- the impedance of all antennas are identical and equal to the impedance of free space (377?) in the far-field. This only makes a difference for noise sources in the near-field, which couple to your receiver by mutual inductance or capacitance, not EM radiation.
- the impedance changes up and down in the near-field with distance, and if a particular antenna seems to have less noise, it's due to chance and your particular noise source's characteristics, not some magical "noise immunity" intrinsic to some antenna design.
That said, most people already have dipoles, so if they find them noisy, sometimes they have luck switching to a loop, which provides a complementary near-field impedance, and just might be better in a particular environment.

North-western Pennsylvania Yields Up a Prehistoric Secret
Patience is one thing that geologists and palaeontologists need plenty of and when it comes to excavating and putting together one of the most ferocious marine predators known from the Palaeozoic fossil record, the patience of even the most dedicated scientist can be tried.
Monster Fish Awaiting Discovery
In a secret location in Erie County (north-western Pennsylvania, United States), Scott McKenzie, assistant professor of geology at Mercyhurst University (Erie County), is returning to a site where the fossilised dermal armour plating of a giant Placoderm is slowly eroding out of a stream bed gully. The landowners are reluctant to permit a full excavation in the heavily wooded area so the assistant professor and his team have to wait for nature to do its job and slowly erode the fossilised pieces of dermal head shield from out of the sandy shale matrix. For Scott, visiting the site at regular intervals to inspect the fossil bearing rock can be quite a depressing business. With luck, he might be able to obtain enough material within a decade or so to make a presentable exhibit within the University's Sincak Natural History Collection, where assistant professor McKenzie is the curator.
What were the Placoderms?
Placoderms were primitive jawed fish. They are named Placoderms "plated skins" after the wide, flat bony plates that covered the head and the anterior portions of the body. They share a number of anatomical features with sharks and rays, for example they had a body skeleton made of cartilage. Most forms were relatively small, growing to less than sixty centimetres in length, but others were giants and the Erie County specimen represents a specimen of one of the most ferocious of all marine animals known to science – Dunkleosteus.
Top Predator of the Late Devonian
Dunkleosteus was an enormous, prehistoric fish with an armoured head made up of several interlocking bony plates that covered up to thirty percent of this predator's total length. The Placoderms (armoured fish); evolved in the Silurian geological period from ancestors that had no true teeth. Instead this group of fish developed a pair of sharp bony plates that hung from the top jaw, whilst the edges of the lower jaw were also bony and extremely sharp. The jaws could be closed together like a pair of self-sharpening shears and were powerful enough to cut a two metre long, primitive shark in half. Most specimens of Dunkleosteus (D. terrelli) come from Ohio, so the discovery of a specimen in Pennsylvania might lead to the establishment of a brand new species of this type of armoured fishy carnivore.
The strata from which the dermal armour of this fossilised fish is being eroded from has been estimated to be around 365 million years old (Late Devonian). During this period in Earth's History much of the eastern part of the United States was underwater, this marine environment would have been a dangerous place to visit with the likes of Dunkleosteus in the water, an apex predator of the Late Devonian.
Spring Thaw Brings Hope of New Fossil Discoveries
With the spring thaw Scott and his team are hopeful that more pieces of the body armour will have been revealed. It is very unlikely that elements of the cartilaginous skeleton will have been preserved, but with the jaws and armoured head potentially being the size of a small car, the specimen once prepared and assembled will make a fine addition to the University's natural history collection.
Scott commented that Dunkleosteus was arguably the most terrifying creature on the planet in the Late Devonian. Scientists have postulated that this large, marine predator could open its huge jaws so fast that they created a suction force that pulled any unfortunate fish or sea scorpion into the mouth. Once in the mouth the sharp, shear-like bony plates would have sliced and diced up the victim. For the moment the field team are restricted to surface collecting as the landowners have ruled out the possibility of a formal excavation and in any case, digging may damage some of the fossil pieces that remain buried.
Specimen May Have Been Eight Metres in Length
Although, the Erie County specimen is not as big as some of the fossils of Dunkleosteus found in Ohio, it is no tiddler. The geologist calculates that the fossils represent an individual between five and eight metres in length and it probably weighed more than 1,000 kilogrammes. He remains unsure whether this fossil material represents a specimen of D. terrelli or a new species. This does represent the largest fish of its kind found in the Erie County area and an animal that could have given the legendary beast of Lake Erie, affectionately known as "Bessie" by locals a run for its money.
Hoping to Make a Museum Display in the Future
The assistant professor and his team, kindly put on display at the University a number of pieces of the fossil specimen that they had already found, the bony plates although fragmented are an exciting discovery and the team are eager to see what the winter weather has managed to erode out of the matrix so that they can add to their collection. At the moment the disarticulated and disassociated fossil pieces represent a 365 million year old jigsaw puzzle.
A true inspiration to students and other scientists the dedication of Scott and his team as they try to piece together the county's very own prehistoric monster is to be admired. Fingers crossed for them, let's hope that the wintry weather and the spring thaw provides them with yet more fossils for them to study as they continue their quest to prepare and mount their very own Dunkleosteus museum exhibit.

The traditional celebration feast at the Khan Market and Cyberhub, Gurgaon outlets till August 27
Pronounced nau roz, 'nav' (means new) and 'roz' (means day), the August 18 Navroz is not be confused with the Zoroastrian Jamshedi Navroze celebrated on March 21, 2015. On August 18, it's the Pateti '(day) of penitence' (from patet 'confession', hence also repentance and penitence). This is the day Parsis celebrate their arrival in India and the acceptance of their new homeland, says Chef Anahita Dhondy.
While the big guns such as Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted celebration wishes, and legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan went around wishing friends, we 'commoners' or food bloggers enjoyed the feast at SodaBottleOpenerWala with Chef Anahita giving us the flavours and fragrances of Parsi cuisine.
On offer here are both veg and non-veg thalis. And this is actually a traditional thali, matching the celebration mood with all that's possible to stuff into your stomach and make it full for two days. There was badami chicken, mutton pulao, machhi patrani, semolina dessert, Irani kulfi falooda and more with brinjal pickle and aam chutney. On offer are also some innovative cocktails and mocktails.
The mood being feisty and feasty, Chef Anahita told us that brinjal is the king of vegetables in countries such as Afghanistan, Iran, Persia of yore and treated us to a new layered brinjal dish. This you find in the veg thali!
Navroz style, drinks flowed, conversation glowed and the feast carried on till late, until we decided to vacate for more diners to partake their celebration meal.
Navroz Platter Cost: Veg – Rs 700++ and Non-Veg – Rs 800 ++
Venues: Gurgaon: SodaBottleOpenerWala, Cyber Hub, Shop No 3, DLF Cyber City, Phase II, Next to Building no 8, Gurgaon, Haryana. Contact No: +91-124-6518801
New Delhi: 72, Khan Market, New Delhi 110073; Contact No: +91-11-43504778/ 43504878
Navroz celebrations include
- Spring cleaning to invite fresh beginnings
- Dressing up in new and traditional clothes with prayers at the Fire Temple.
- Breakfast to dinner with friends and family.
Traditional table
The number seven is considered magical, symbolising the seven elements–fire, earth, water, air, plants, animals and humans.

Please follow all rules of FAG! If you ignore the rules, I will ignore your request!
I will not link the memorials I created to unknown burials.
Please do not send me information from US Census to be placed in their bio section. I will not place this in the bio section of the memorial. It is not their biography.
Why have Findagrave if you know not what & where the cemetery is? Findagrave means exactly that. Here is the grave. I have several ancestors that I know are buried in a general area, but I refuse to create a cemetery and place them in it, until the cemetery or burial location is actually found.
I do not deliberately create a duplicate, However I have found, with proof, that backdating is occurring, so from this point on, please refer all duplicates that you believe I have created to FAG admins and they will know if backdating has occurred and will delete or merge the two memorials. (all notifications of assumed duplicates will be ignored.)
Posted March 13,2018
We ask that duplicate memorials not be added to Find A Grave. When the case of duplicate memorials falls to administration, the first memorial in the correct location or disposition will be the memorial that is kept. We encourage members and applaud their efforts to find the correct location or disposition before adding the memorial to Find A Grave.

Find A Grave
I do a thorough search before creating any memorial. I can't control it when someone places the surname Smith (and only Smith) as a memorial and then later go back and change the name to whoever and and move it into a cemetery. That is one way it is called backdating. Sad people are doing this.
Do not add obit photos to memorials I create. Obit photos are against FAG rules unless you made the photo yourself. If this was not the case, I would have placed the photos on myself. Thank you in advance!
Please ask before using my photos. You may do this by using the edit tab on any memorial I have created.
Be nice or I will ignore!

• We help our young people to come to a personal knowledge of God and his love for them.
• Our approach is experiential, informative and practical. Our school Oratory is a place of quiet, where students, staff and members of the local community can find an atmosphere for personal prayer, or reflection on life.
• Experience of different types of prayer (meditation, communal, reflection) are provided for all classes. Students find quiet meditation particularly helpful.
• We try to provide a Retreat for all year groups each year – the style and format depending on age the group involved.
• We provide opportunities for different types of liturgical and sacramental celebrations – emphasising the particular seasons of the year (New School Year, Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, Graduations etc.). Students particularly like small group liturgies, which they themselves prepare.
• Education in global awareness, human rights and social justice, and the Christian's response to these issues is a major part of our school ethos.

Photography tips: Shooting square
As a photographer that shoots for a living I'm a big fan of always going back to why I started this in the first place and that's because it's something that I enjoy doing. Practice not only makes you better but more importantly it keeps the passion alive and with that work never feels like work. My favorite form to practice is with my Polaroid camera or pulling out my iPhone and using Instagram.
Shooting square is nothing new and has been around since 1929 with Rollei. As for the purpose of it, there isn't one really its just different. Strong composition happens by making things simple and a square image places your subject dead center usually and thus fills in that negative space and makes everything simple.
So why shoot square? Essentially you're taking cropping one third of your image and leaving the strongest two thirds. This is something you'd do when shooting in a rectangle anyway but now you're taking that strong image and really bumping it up a few notches. Now keep in mind an image with poor composition will not suddenly be great because you went back and shot it square, a poor image will always remain a poor image.
When shooting square look for shapes that are consistent and line them up so that the viewers eye follows through the image. Also if you're shooting a flower place the flower dead center and now the stem becomes a line for the viewer's eye to follow to the flower itself.
Another thing to consider is keeping the colors in your image to a minimum. To keep things really simple try shooting square in black and white. Now you'll really start looking for strong lines and shapes and you'll really start looking for shadows.
Finally there are also toy cameras such as Holga and Diana that also shoot square but now you'll be shooting exclusively on film. Not entirely bad and my favorite medium but if you're raised on digital just keep in keep mind there is no photo shop and getting it right the first time is key.
As for me I like to shoot portraits square and still life objects that I find when I'm out. Below are some images posted to my Instagram account that just caught my eye. So try going square and see what you to can come up with. Happy shooting.

Becoming Stone
Sometimes I wish I didn't feel emotions at all.
Sure, the good ones are great; who doesn't want to feel joy, hope, satisfaction, or delight? But the bad ones terrify me. Grief, fear, regret, loneliness… no, thank you. In the Song of the Sea, Ben begins his life as a happy child with a loving father, Conor, and a gentle mother, Bronach, who loves to teach her son stories and songs. One of her many fantastical tales is about the Owl Witch Macha. Long ago, Macha's son endured a great tragedy, plunging him into despair. Because Macha couldn't bear to see the pain in her son, she turned him into stone. However, she didn't stop there. On Halloween night, she sent out her owls to cleanse faeries and humans of their emotions.
Soon after telling her son this story, Bronach dies while giving birth to Ben's younger sister, Saoirse.
Years later, Ben has grown bitter and jealous of Saoirse. Negative emotions surround him—from his own jealousy and terror of the sea that surrounds their lighthouse home, to a grieving father, to a cynical granny. I imagine there were many times he wished he could be turned to stone like the faeries in his mother's story. It is when Granny takes Ben and Saoirse to the city that he learns his sister is a selkie and that she has the ability to play a shell that releases faeries from stone prisons. His mother's story is true.
After Macha captures Saoirse and Ben, he confronts her. The Owl Witch feels that she needs to rid the world of "nasty emotions" because "nobody needs them," that they make everyone "feel awful." So deep are her ideals, she even draws the good and bad emotions out of herself with her enchanted jars. She tempts Ben to rid himself of his emotions too, but he refuses, saying, "It won't help. It will only make things worse."
Ben is wise. He declares something here that I sometimes don't want to admit to myself.
When I've encountered bad circumstances, I know I've wanted to harden myself like stone, so I don't have to feel the pain of emotions. I usually go through a period where I let my emotions take control, and then I push them aside and try to ignore them. However, trying to squash them down means they will be even more out of control when they do come to the surface.
In some stages of my life, I would have taken Macha's offer.
But as Ben said, bottling up emotions and hardening my heart only makes things worse. It's only a temporary fix. Become stone means I lose my happiness and joy along with my negative emotions. Emotions can be beautiful things and they are a part of my life. My pain can make me stronger, despite how much it hurts. In fact, suffering shapes me more than happiness. The dark moments make the bright moments shine brighter.
I believe Saoirse's "Song of the Sea," the song she sings to revive those who have been turned to stone, doesn't represent happiness or joy, but peace. This peace can free me from the chains that my negative emotions have put on me or that I have put on myself. Happiness isn't always a cure for sadness, but peace, understanding, and closure are what can be. There is nothing wrong with experiencing negative emotions. It's partly what makes me human. Dwelling on them too long or attempting to pack them up and ship them off to Neverland without dealing with them is what becomes a problem. This is what Ben comes to discover as he faces his fears, jealousy, and pain to save his sister and free the faeries.
My "Song of the Sea" is ultimately Christ. Many times it is hard to trust in Him. It is hard to listen to that Song and let my negative emotions crumble away, but in the end it's the only thing that can set me free.

As politicians go, does it get any better than this?
This guy loves people, and they love him back.
He's never taken a bribe, though he'd probably do anything for a treat.
He's quite fetching with all that snow-white hair.
And he appears to be in good health, though honestly we haven't seen a letter from his vet.
Yes, Duke the dog is the perfect pol, so it's no surprise that over the weekend his hometown of Cormorant, Minn., elected him mayor for the third straight year.
Only about 1,000 live in the township, surrounded by lakes about 180 miles northwest of Minneapolis. People paid $1 to vote for him at the town's annual Cormorant Daze festival over the weekend.
The fix was definitely in for the 9-year-old Great Pyrenees. He's got sky-high approval ratings, and his face shows up on billboards around town.
"I don't know who would run against him," resident Karen Nelson told WDAY 6 in Fargo, N.D. "He's done such great things for the community."
Duke was elected sort of by accident by write-in vote at the festival two years ago, according to his owner, David Rick. That year he beat out local store owner Richard Sherbrook, who had no hard feelings losing to a dog, Sherbrook told ABC News. He even voted for Duke.
Duke is not the first animal to hold office. Others have gone before, including Stubbs the cat in Alaska and a famous beer-swilling billy goat named Henry in Texas.
Duke won in a landslide this year. "Everybody voted for Duke, except for one vote for his girlfriend, Lassie," Rick told WDAY.
Lucky for him the job is ceremonial only. But this year it seems that Duke missed out on a particularly timely campaign slogan.
It would have looked great on a red cap.
Make America Great Pyrenees Again.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Talent District Curriculum
The elementary Language Arts curriculum brings together the key components of reading and writing for students to become familiar with. Students develop their comprehension skills and learn to identify the conflict and resolution in various literary genres. They write narratives and reports using correct capitalization, punctuation, verb tense, pronouns and learn how to use adjectives to describe nouns and conjunctions to connect longer phrases, or two complete sentences into one.
As students advanced, Language Arts skills require a continued increase of reading fluency and strengthening of comprehension skills, which include fact and opinion, and finding evidence that supports the conclusions they draw. Students also identify imagery parts, and analyze character traits in the stories they read. In high school, the level of analytic work becomes more rigorous and students are expected to respond critically to the fiction, non-fiction and works of media they are presented with.
Testimonials and Case Studies from Our Parents
SchoolTutoring Academy has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was very self-conscious about her difficulties with the math section of the SAT. SchoolTutoring Academy's Academic Directors created an action plan that boosted my daughter's score and confidence level.
SchoolTutoring Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades. Test Prep Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades.
SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son's math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.

Chalk Talk: What Is Bloom's Taxonomy?
Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning Domains, or Learning Objectives, is a structural approach to teaching and learning. The learning goals in the taxonomy, which is a framework, cover the mental, emotional and physical (cognitive, affective, and psychomotor) development of students and defines the stages by which learning is accomplished. In the taxonomy, the first stage of learning is attaining knowledge and then, in order to reach the highest levels of learning and understanding, students pass through the stages of comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. This is a stage approach whereby basic learning develops into the ability to evaluate and discern the validity in information. Many standardized assessments, which are designed to cover students from elementary through high school use this approach and are designed to measure a students development through these stages.

There are many national and local tools that together help paint the picture that culture is a significant economic driver both nationally, and Utah. Below are a number of helpful data resources.
If you are aware of any additional resources that we should list, please contact us.
Arts Education in Utah
Arts Education Symposium as this useful list that details what Utah currently offers for arts education for grades K-12.
Utah Creative Vitality™ Index
The Creative Vitality™ Index (CVI™) is an annual measure of the economic health of the arts-related creative economy in Utah. In the CVI™, creative economy is defined as including for-profit and nonprofit arts-related creative enterprises, and the key support and service activities that sustain them. The Index is the result of research that was designed to develop a more inclusive and robust diagnostic tool related to the economic dimensions of the arts elements of the creative economy. Starting with 2013 reports we have one-sheets by county.
Thank you to the Utah Division of Arts & Museums for compiling this info. For more information, and reports to the zip code level, contact David Wicai, [email protected], 801-236-7547. Download the CVI™ below:Utah 2014 Creative Vitality™ Index State and County Summaries

The NEA is a important collector of data to measure the economic impact of culture. A few useful resources:
- Creativity Connects: Trends and Conditions Affecting U.S. Artists
- State-Level Estimates of Arts Participation Patterns (2012-2015) // Utah is #1 in many categories!
- Results from the Annual Arts Basic Survey (AABS)
Americans for the Arts Art and Economic Prosperity Study
Americans for the Arts has launched four major studies of the nonprofit arts and culture industry's impact on the economy.

The Chinese government is censoring media and citizen coverage of the deadly explosion in Tianjin. Reports are circulating of Weibo accounts critical of Chinese media being shut down, and CNN's Will Ripley was forced off the air by angry alleged relatives of victims.
During a live broadcast, Ripley was forced off air by a group of loud bystanders while broadcasting outside of a hospital in Tianjin, apparently using his phone or a small camera. Men can be heard yelling at Ripley to stop recording before the feed cuts off.
CNN then tweeted that upset friends and family interrupted Ripley, not government officials.
Correction: CNN Correspondent interrupted in a live report by upset friends and relatives of victims killed and injured in the China blasts.
— CNN (@CNN) August 13, 2015
But China's pervasive censorship leaves room for doubt. In addition to the incident users on Sina Weibo, a China-approved social network, are claiming their posts on the disaster disappeared. Users even found that "the number of searchable posts on the disaster fluctuated, in a sign that authorities were manipulating or placing limits on the number of posts."
Free Weibo captures all messages censored or deleted on the social media platform. The company found that the words "Tianjin" and "explosion" "have also become the most censored."
All journalists, including Chinese, must stay six miles away from the blast. One journalist took pictures inside a hospital, but security guards demanded he "delete the images." Another station could not interrupt normal coverage since reporters "waited for permission to start covering the story."
"I was watching Tianjin TV at 8am and they were still showing 'First Wives' Club' – I could barely breathe! I feel as though this country's media… shows an inhumane response to emergencies," user "Xing zhi a fei" posted on Weibo.
Last September, the government blocked the photo-sharing site Instagram due to the massive pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong. Protesters used the social app to post pictures of police using tear gas on demonstrators. In January, the government banned media from interviewing family members and friends of those who died in a stampeded on New Year's Eve. Just last week, the Chinese Ministry of Culture banned 120 songs due to "obscenity, violence, crime" and potential to "harm social morality."
Warehouses filled with chemical materials exploded late Wednesday night in the city. It started in a building owned by Tianjin Dongjiang Port Rui Hai International Logistics. State media reported officials took the executives into custody. Over 50 people are dead, including 12 firefighters, and 500 are injured. No one knows exactly what caused the explosion.

Is The Grand Canyon From Las Vegas A Good Idea?
If you are in Las Vegas and you are considering a trip to the Grand Canyon, you'll want some basic information to help you plan your trip. Check out the next few pages and you should get a good idea on just what to expect on a Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon trip.
It is hard to imagine just how much weathering and erosion had to take place and over how much time it took to create the Grand Canyon. However, when you stand there and look out at the horizon you'll question the possibility of it even occurring. The Grand Canyon is a very popular attraction for people visiting Las Vegas and rightly so, it is a natural wonder that should be on your Las Vegas bucket list.
Stand at the edge of the Grand Canyon and look down to the Colorado River and you will quickly realize that there is a reason why this is one of the natural wonders of the world. Fly over it and you get a good idea of just how massive the space between the edges is. Hike down and you will be baffled by just how much time... it will take you to get back to the top. Weathering, erosion and a lot of time has made this area of the desert in Arizona such a sight that it will be difficult for you to comprehend that this was flat land over 2 billion years ago. Hike to the bottom and you'll drop down about 6000 feet.
Yes, it is impressive and it is not that difficult to get to from Las Vegas. Read on for ideas for planning your trip.
Check TripAdvisor for deals on Grand Canyon Tours From Las Vegas
Don't forget that there are 7 National Parks to get to from Las Vegas just in case you are looking for more ideas for day trips from Las Vegas.Continue to 2 of 11 below.

First, How Much Will A Trip To The Grand Canyon From Las Vegas Cost?
Because there are so many different tours and options the prices vary from $99 to $3,000 dollars. Don't worry, unless you want a fine dining experience and Chamber music played deep inside a canyon you won't pay a few thousand dollars.
I'll suggest that you check with a few outfitters for the various prices into the Grand canyon. Your options vary from bus and helicopter rides to motorcycle and small planes. Of course, you could also rent a car and drive yourself.Continue to 3 of 11 below.
03 of 11
Grand Canyon By Helicopter
The views as you hover high above the canyon floor are adrenaline pumping. The rim of the Grand Canyon is at eye level and the ridges fall off way below the rotors of the helicopter. Papillon Helicopter runs tours of the Grand canyon as does Maverick Helicopters.
Compare prices on flights and see if you can get a better deal before heading into town.
Excerpt from Grand Canyon by Helicopter:
Slicing through the morning air with the Grand Canyon falling off below my feet and the sun slowly creeping over the edge of the tree tops my heart raced slightly as my finger jammed the shutter button over and over to get the perfect shot. The chop chop of the helicopter was barely audible and the slowly banking turns allowed me to get a complete sensory experience.Continue to 4 of 11 below.
04 of 11
Grand Canyon By Airplane
You'll fly directly to the airport in the Grand Canyon from either Las Vegas airport or from Boulder City Airport. Either way, the trip is significantly shorter than you would get from a drive to the national park.
Check on prices on a tour to the Grand Canyon and do your best to compare options. Remember, if you found a good deal once you can find it again so a little patience can go a long way.
Excerpt from Grand Canyon Tour:
Looking down on the dessert the landscape transforms from sand and brush to spaces devoid of matter. The years of weathering and erosion sculpted the scene and the alluvial deposits and stratigraphic columns are what remain in a landscape that changes daily albeit in such a small way that it appears cemented in time. Millions of years and more water than you can imagine raced through this area and created canyons, gulleys and mesas, meanwhile rivers and tributaries continue to shape the desert and change the depth, clear the beaches and expose the rocks. If you... can appreciate the patience of geologic time, the Grand Canyon depicts the ultimate hourglass sand timer only that it allows a pebble by pebble narration of time. It takes a lifetime to see the hour hand move but it does and it has been for at least 6 million years and some say for as many as 70 million.Continue to 5 of 11 below.
05 of 11
Grand Canyon By Car
The views are fabulous if you like the desert landscape. Southern Nevada and Northern Arizona are quite arid so your highlights might only be Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam or you could be fascinated with the expanse of desert in this area of the Southwest United States.
If you decide to drive I would suggest making it a two-day trip so as to have enough time to recharge before driving back to Las Vegas. In the summer, carry plenty of water and in the winter make sure you have warm clothing. It may sound like common sense but plenty of visitors don't always think the desert can get cold.
You can choose a Grand Canyon South Rim Bus Tour and let someone else do the driving. The comfort level is higher and you can recuperate from your previous evening's indiscretions in Las Vegas. This tour includes stops at the National Geographic Visitors Center as well as two spectacular lookouts, Mather Point and Bright Angel Lodge. Take a hike along the various trails to lookouts such as Mather... Point and visit the historic El Tovar Lodge. There are approximately 1.25 hours at each look out point and 1 hour at the Grand Canyon IMAX Theatre. The bus is a luxury coach and lunch is included.
Getting to the Grand Canyon from Las Vegas
The Grand Canyon is located about 250 miles from the Las Vegas strip. Taking highway 93 south from Las Vegas to Interstate 40 east to highway 64. The trip takes about 4 1/2 hours and takes you right over Hoover Dam.Continue to 6 of 11 below.

Grand Canyon By Motorcycle
The motorcycle tour explained from an excerpt in Tour of Grand Canyon:
The tour includes a motorcycle ride with Eagle Rider Motorcycle Rentals and they put me on a Harley to ride through the Grand Canyon. The rest of the people on my tour opt to ride along with one of their guides. I take my control issues and opt to ride alone. As long as you have a license you can rent a bike and tour the Grand Canyon from a motorcycle with or without a guide. I'm not sure you get to see as much from the motorcycle simply because you do have to pay attention but I can tell you that the smell of the pine trees as you move through the canyon is uplifting. You peek through the trees to see the Grand Canyon fall away. You stop to get a good view and you have a little snack. Every aspect of the motorcycle ride is enough for me to already want to do it a second time. If you are already going to drive around the Grand Canyon to get a better view you might as well do it on a motorcycle.
This experience is not... for everybody but it is a great way to immerse yourself in the Grand canyon experience.Continue to 7 of 11 below.

Why People Go To The Grand Canyon
Once you start talking about the Kaibab formation or stratigraphic columns you'll realize that you have been in the Grand Canyon for longer than you need to be. However, when you look across the top of the canyon it seems to go forever. You think you could just stand there and take it all in for as long as physically possible. The river flows way down deep below and the birds soar high overhead. It is a wonder to think that so much soil, rock, and water has moved through this canyon over millions of years. If you have the opportunity, take a tour by helicopter or airplane and see the canyon while hovering over the giant hole in the ground. It is impressive and it is one of those places that must be on your list of things to see.
The Grand Canyon is visited by approximately 5 million people each year. The park consists of 277 miles of the Colorado River and its massive erosional effects on the surrounding landscape. The Grand Canyon can be enjoyed from either the south or the north... rims.
The Southwest of the US is a vast and beautiful place to explore and Las Vegas is the perfect place to use as your base of adventure. Check out more National Parks less than a day's ride from Las Vegas.
Finding things to do in Las Vegas is not difficult. With so many options you could also consider day trips closer to your Las Vegas hotel.Continue to 8 of 11 below.

What To Do At The Grand Canyon
Visit Grand Canyon Village to get oriented with the National Park. The visitors center is located in the village and offers lectures, videos, and rangers to assist you. From the Village, you can get on the Bright Angel Trail which will take you to the bottom of the canyon. You should realize that it is a good 9 miles to the bottom.
However, after a visit to the visitors center, you will get information on easier, less strenuous hikes and trails that work for most visitors. You will also get information on spectacular lookout locations and seasonal activities around the National Park.
There are numerous tour groups out of Las Vegas that lead trips to the Grand Canyon.Continue to 9 of 11 below.

Is A Trip To The Grand Canyon From Las Vegas Worth It?
Are memories important to you? Do you need more building blocks in the process of getting to where you want to go? The Grand Canyon is one of those places you need to see once. If you have children they will remember it for any number of reasons. As an adult, the site of this massive canyon is one you appreciate more as you mature.
Is it worth a 4-hour drive? That is a hard question to ask when Zion National Park is much closer to Las Vegas.
Why Go to the Grand Canyon?
The drive can definitely make the trip worth it. You drive directly over the Hoover Dam and take a very scenic route through the desert. While you shouldn't get there and immediately attempt to hike to the bottom of the canyon, you can take a brisk walk about a quarter of the way down and take in the great views of the expansive canyon.
If you have an extra day and you want to see a national landmark this is a good trip. The summer time will bring the crowds and pleasant temperatures. Peak season is May through November.
T...he Grand Canyon is a geologist dream, where rock that is a billion years old is exposed through weathering and erosion.
So when should you visit the Grand Canyon from Las Vegas? Check the weather in Las Vegas first and then you'll get a better idea of when to go. Winter in the Grand Canyon is impressive. If you are lucky enough to be there when snow has fallen you get a dramatic view of the canyon.
Summer in the Grand Canyon brings more visitors and international feel to the trails and scenic spots.Continue to 10 of 11 below.

The Hoover Dam
This giant stack of concrete in the middle of the desert is very impressive and it deserves a day trip even if you decide not to visit the Grand Canyon. The Hoover Dam is about a 30-minute drive from the Las Vegas strip and offers tours and sightseeing opportunities.Continue to 11 of 11 below.

East Rim of the Grand Canyon Drive
The drive along the East Rim takes you past Yaki point and Grandview Point and gets you to the Tusayan Ruin Museum. It is a 25-mile drive that will give you a good look at some ruins of a population of pueblo Indians that lived in this location around the 13th century. You can witness the widest point in the canyon as well as buy Native American artifacts on the drive.
Use these resources to find prices but take your time and don't book immediately. Patience is key to finding the best price.
- Find a tour into the Grand Canyon as well as prices and descriptions with Best of Vegas. They offer quite a few options.
- You could rent a car and drive to the Grand Canyon from Las Vegas. It's a long drive but you'll see the desert and the wide open space of the Southwestern USA.

Edgar Allen Poe was best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre. Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is generally considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre. He is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction.[1] ~~ Wikipedia
There are many classes that utilize Edgar Allen Poe's work to educate new writers. If there is something you're struggling with in your writing, Poe is a great place to look for examples of chilling prose, brilliant characterization and setting with great impact.
Through the use of plot, setting, symbolism, and character development and diverse word choice, Poe achieved the effect of shocking insanity. All these techniques flow seamlessly to engage the reader in a frightening tale.
Setting & Word Choice:
In "Fall of the House of Usher," the protagonist describes the house and its surroundings with statements like, "white trunks of decayed trees," and "vacant, eye-like windows." Poe possessed such a gift of using setting to chill the reader to the core, utilizing unique and engaging word choices to describe the dungeon, mansion and brick walls. All the while, we feel for the narrator traveling into a house to help a childhood friend who lost his sanity. Of course, reading the opening of this story, we pause and reflect on the narrator's own sanity.
Symbolism and Characterization:
In "The Masque of The Red Death," a tale about a prince and his followers trying to escape the plague, there are several major symbols. The first is the name Prince Prospero. It represents a person of great wealth and high prestige. This name gives the reader valuable information about the prince's lifestyle without having to waste precious time with details. Prospero represents a good life, untouched by troubles or pain. With just a name he reveals so much without using up precious real-estate.
Following examples of my all-time favorite writer I've attempted to utilize many of his techniques. In Escapement, the monsters of the Wasteland, implants and gifts are all symbolic of the greater issues plaguing their war-torn world.
Are you ever inspired by Classics? If so, how? If not, do you think you might ever give them a go?
Ten years after the great war of 2185 the queen's reign is threatened by uprisings and fear. In celebration of my sixteenth birthday it is my duty as princess to sacrifice a slave to be initiated into the ruling council, solidifying my mother's empire. When my own erratic powers surface I'm captured and tried for treason. Slaves hate me, my mother wants me executed, and my only chance of survival rests in the hands of a young man, Ryder Arteres, whose sister I sentenced to death.
