Scott TenBroeck served as a local expert in the 2013 Best Senior Living Communities awards program in the Charlotte Metro.
About Scott
Elder Options was founded by Scott TenBroeck who had the honor of caring for his grandparents in Florida. As he watched his beloved grandparents decline in health, he noticed people were starting to take advantage of them. Solicitation calls were more frequent and seemingly trustworthy individuals were trying to take their hard earned money.
After talking with others, Scott realized that older adults were very vulnerable and needed someone acting in their best interest. He decided to gain experience as a director in assisted living, adult day care, home health, memory care and nursing homes. He also became a county ombudsman, investigating complaints within assisted living homes. In addition he obtained his Master's Degree in Health Administration.
After 10 years of working with all different types of older adults, Scott has taken his passion for care to each individual who needs help navigating the confusing elder care system. He finds the resources that are the best fit for them. Each client is someone's beloved family member and they need an advocate.
Growing older presents many transitions. Elder Options is here to walk with you through every step.

When Jerry Browning was given a choice four years ago, it didn't take him long to make a decision. His wife was going to be out of town for the weekend, but with autumn rapidly approaching, Browning wanted desperately to get out to the family farm in central Pennsylvania to work on his food plots. The problem was that he had to watch his two young boys, and the farm was an hour from his home. His son Kyle was 11, and Matthew was just eight — too young, Browning figured, to be much help.
"I ended up taking them with me. I wasn't real sure what to do with them at the time, so they mostly just played in the creek while I disked the four fields I wanted to put into food plots," he said.
That turned out to be a life-changing decision. Since then, the three Brownings have been actively planting and maintaining food plots together on the family farm. They spend weekends in spring and fall working the fields, and they hunt those plots every chance they get. The boys have not only increased their labor input, helping move heavy equipment and bags of fertilizer, they have become nearly as knowledgeable as their father, who started food plotting five years ago. In other words, involving your children in all aspects of hunting, including planting and maintaining food plots, is a great way to spend quality time with them. Not only will it benefit the family as a unit, it will help children learn about all aspects of nature, including how plants grow and why they flourish in some situations and flounder in others. What they learn depends, of course, on what you teach them, so it's up to you to use every opportunity to impart some sort of lesson they can use later in life.
The first steps to involve children in food plotting should be simple ones, especially if your children are young. They can include anything from chucking rocks out of the food plot itself to spreading seed and helping gather samples for a soil test. You can also include young children in planting wildlife-friendly shrub seedlings along field edges and you can have them offer input into what plants to include in the plots. Even if you are new to food plots, including your children will help you both learn valuable lessons. Browning figures that's one reason his children are so involved now. "I wasn't sure what I was supposed to be doing at first. I think one reason this has worked out so well is that we were in this together from the beginning. Even though my boys are still pretty young, I think they feel like they own the food plots just as much as I do," he said. Older children can take on more responsibility like actually spreading seed. The simple act of handing a sack of Imperial Clover and a hand spreader to a child gives him not only a sense or responsibility, it gives him a reason to stay involved. By planting the seed himself and watching it grow, a young boy or girl will have a vested interest in the plot even before deer season rolls around. In fact, as Browning learned, a child who starts a food plot will feel a sense of ownership of that plot and will likely continue to work on it. Of course, children might lose focus on a food plot just as they might on like any long-term project. It's up to you to keep them interested and involved. You can do that by assigning them various tasks as the season progresses.
What tasks a child performs depends entirely on his age and maturity level. You certainly don't want to turn the keys of your tractor over to a 12-year-old. Many children drive heavy farm equipment, but many tractors, especially older ones, have little in the way of safety accessories. Browning won't even allow his children to ride on his tractor while he's driving it. He understands the importance of granting children small tidbits of responsibility, and driving a tractor is indeed a major step toward adulthood. However, safety should always trump any other decision. That's not to say his sons stand by while he does all the work. The Brownings also use an ATV to tend two smaller plots and he will allow his older boy to use the four-wheeler to tow a disk or spreader. He not only gave him a stern lecture about safe ATV operation before he took the keys, Browning carefully monitored his son's handling of the machine before he turned him loose. He won't allow his boys to handle or spray herbicides. Although herbicides available through farm supply stores and through Whitetail Institute are approved by the Environmental Protection Agency, they can be unsafe if handled improperly. That's why it's wise to handle all chemicals yourself. "I'm very conscious about wind drift onto non-target plants and I certainly want to avoid getting any type of chemical herbicide on myself, so I think it's just better to do that work myself," he said. "I do set an example by wearing eye protection, rubber gloves and long pants and a long-sleeve shirt whenever I handle any chemicals. Hopefully my boys will understand the importance of safety when they are on their own."
Building and maintaining food plots doesn't just demand physical labor. It requires plenty of mental work, as well. Although the science of a soil test is conducted by a high-tech machine at some distant lab, it's up to you to implement the recommendations printed out on the results. Instead of making the necessary calculations by yourself at the kitchen table, why not turn the effort into a math lesson, along with another great excuse to spend time with your children? Gather your children, a pencil, some paper and a calculator and then head out to your plots to sketch and measure them. Have your children make a rough drawing of each plot while you pace off the measurements. Then help your children determine the area of each plot and the amount of fertilizer and lime you'll need to spread based on the recommendations of a soil test. Lessons can be extended to the field by examining the science behind fertilizers and lime. Truth is, it's a lesson many of us could use ourselves. Do you have a concrete understanding of the role of various fertilizer ingredients and lime on food plots? Spend time with your children on the Internet researching not just food plot plants, but farming and gardening in general. You'll not only spend more time with your kids, you'll learn some useful information along the way. There's no telling how much knowledge children will actually absorb, but even if just a little, it will be time well spent. Browning, an avid naturalist, insists food plots shouldn't be just about drawing deer into bow or gun range in the autumn. Instead, they should provide food to a wide variety of wildlife all year. That's why he and his boys planted shrubs around the edges of their food plots. He also incorporates some sort of conservation lesson whenever he can. "For instance, we'll identify different plants and try to determine if they provide food for birds or mammals. I don't want my boys to think we are simply growing a bait station for hunting season, because that's not what food plots should be all about," he said.
There's no question food plots are grown primarily by deer hunters for deer hunting. That's why hunters put so much time and effort into creating high-quality wildlife habitat. But as Browning learned four years ago, a food plot can be so much more than a great location to hang a tree stand. It can be a place to build a strong bond with your children. A
Plot Of Their Own Turing children loose on a patch of ground with a sack of seed is a great way to give them a direct connection to their very own food plot. Set aside a strip or a corner or even an entire field and let them work up their own plot. However, it's critical they have the proper foundation for a successful plot or they may get discouraged when it doesn't grow well. You'll need to help them get rid of unwanted plant growth through the use of herbicides and/or disking to help them loosen and expose soil for good seed germination. You can do that with a rake or a disk pulled behind a tractor or ATV. No matter how much help you give, you'll be doing your children a favor by starting them with a bag of easy-to-grow seed like Whitetail Institute's No-Plow, Secret Spot or BowStand. All three of these products germinate well on bare soil, making them excellent choices for a young boy or girl.

Studies show that telehealth services are beneficial and can reduce costly acute care interventions for patients with chronic lung disease
A telehealth system combined with care management has the potential to improve health outcomes in Medicare beneficiaries with COPD. (1)
Telehealth for COPD patients appears to have a positive impact on quality of life and the number of times patients are admitted to the ED or hospital. (2)
Patients with more severe asthma managed predominantly in secondary care settings with telehealth interventions had a significant reduction in hospitalizations. (3)
Home telehealth (HT) in elderly, severe COPD patients with multiple comorbidities is safe and efficacious in reducing healthcare resources utilizations. (4)
Implementation of a tele-ICU intervention in a single academic medical center was associated with reduced adjusted odds of mortality and reduced hospital length of stay, as well as with changes in best practice adherence and lower rates of preventable complications. (5)
Tele-assistance (TA) in chronic respiratory failure patients on oxygen or home mechanical ventilation prevents hospitalizations while it is cost-effective. (6)
The preponderance of evidence from studies using rigorous research methods points to beneficial results from telemonitoring in its various manifestations for chronic diseases such as COPD, congestive heart failure and stroke. (7)
Spirometry self-testing by asthma patients during telemonitoring is valid and comparable to those collected under the supervision of a trained medical professional and can be implemented in a group of patients with no computer background. (8)

#24 Traversing Lord of the RealmDecember 9, 2016
Gheralf says:
Even though keeping your role as the Lord of the Realm is really hard if you leave the throne unattended, there are many who have successfully done so. Citizens have seen numerous Piffs taking strolls on the streets, and adventurers report seeing them once or twice as far as at the volcanoes.
The more cautious Piffs just settle for walking in circles on the roof of the tower.
Vayandil says:
It is a fact that some of the Piffs have relatively loyal followers helping them to stay in power. Loyalty is usually earned with money, but some of the followers actually are just good friends who want to aid their Lord. Either way, having followers does not seem to prolong an individual's reign by much.

Drinks, music, and art are the Friday night special at the San Diego Museum of Art. With Art After Hours every Friday, you'll have the run of the galleries until 8:00 PM and can hang out in the cafe after for drinks and music.
The museum's collection is enormous, with more than 18,000 works of art, so don't plan on seeing it all in one evening's visit. Choose one collection to focus on, either by geography (perhaps the arts of Africa and Oceania, Asia, or the Americas), time period (European Art before 1859, or Contemporary), or media (paintings, sculpture, or decorative arts). Maybe decide to view something unfamiliar to you; the museum's app will help you make sense of the works' meaning. Besides the permanent collection, you can explore the museum's special exhibits.
After enjoying the artworks, head to the sculpture court. That's where you'll find Panama 66, the cafe, which will be featuring local food accompanied by draft beer, cocktails, and live music. The restaurant stays open until 10, so you can savor your food. The museum shop, Bibliotique, is a great place to pick up unique San Diego crafts.
Then head back to the Days Inn San Diego Hotel Circle near SeaWorld. We're just 4 miles from Balboa Park, where the art museum is located, and near all of San Diego's other attractions. You can stay out as late as you want Friday night or every night and but get back to our hotel and your bed without any hassle.

When is a hairstyle not a hairstyle?
Up can be down, left can be right. Cats and dogs, living together...we say NEVER!
Style is style whether it comes in the form of a Sassoon coif or one of Shaun McGrath's meat wigs. We found an (older)(upcoming) trend that brings a whole new meaning to the term 'weave' and takes style into the hybrid world of hair + 1: Hair Tapestry.
Sometimes image searching on the net can be dangerous; today it brought us to the doorstep of Tiffany Decaux, the amazing hairstylist who contributed to the world of Hair Tapestry big time.
Ruthe Roche has said that hair is like fabric. Just like fashion designer work in different textures like silk and wool, hairdressers come across a wide range of hair types that run the gamut of color and wave pattern (or lackthereof). Each texture, type, and density have different needs and respond differently to haircutting or coloring techniques. Hairdressers live this concept every day. If hair is like fabric and fabric can be manipulated like hair, a tip of the hat goes to innovative hairdressers like Tiffany who combine the two elements. The fashion techniques of embroidery, crocheting and knitting are being translated by hairdressers.
Another Master who combines fabric and hair is Tippi Shorter, Global Director of Texture for Aveda. Her use of yarn and other wool fibers in the Master Jam series was genius. Instead of hair extensions, a model's look was created with a latch hook and alternative yarns. The end result is so similar to hair that it reinforces the hair is fabric | fabric is hair trend of Hair Tapestry.
How will you combine fabric and hair?

NHTSA team to review 3rd Tesla vehicle fire, according to The Detroit News.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is sending a team of investigators to review a charred Tesla Motors Model S electric vehicle in Tennessee — the third battery fire since early October.
"NHTSA is in close communication with Tesla and local authorities gathering information about the incident to determine if additional action is necessary," the agency said in a statement.
Safety advocates on Thursday called on the government to investigate the third fire in less than two months involving a Tesla Model S luxury sedan. NHTSA hasn't yet opened a formal investigation.
The electric car company, co-founded by PayPal co-founder Elon Musk, reported the most recent battery fire Wednesday, after photos were posted on a website. Similar fires were reported in early October in Kent, Wash., and in Mexico. The company believes all three fires were the result of crashes, not spontaneous events.

How about a little Romance?
Everybody needs a little romance and now you can buy it! It doesn't get any better than that.
My latest release is soft and feminine with several wear options. I went for more fruity summery colors and a light delicately patterned fabric. The mini and long skirt are both sheer but not bare and you could even wear the top and bottom as a one piece swimsuit if you were so inclined.
I matched the dresses up with some simple slide sandals on blonde wood soles made in the same color matched fabrics so if you want shoes that match exactly you can purchase those as well.
The entire outfit is simple elegance, not alot of distractions, just cool, feminine lines. I think this is the dress for all those romantic summer evenings and dresses up or down very easily.

About 20% of Americans are currently on a diet according to NPD's National Eating Trends. In these times of changing health insurance guidelines, the question is often posed as to whether or not insurance carriers will reimburse consumers for their participation in weight loss programs. The quick answer is that "it depends upon your carrier and the health incentives provided by your plan." You didn't really think it was going to be a "yes" or "no" answer did you? Let me explain.
It would certainly make sense that a lifestyle based on a healthy diet, good nutrition, and an exercise program are all elements that contribute to better health, increased stress reduction, and greater longevity . In addition, the medical community touts preventative medicine in combination with diet and exercise as a means of thwarting major diseases such as cancer, heart disease, type two diabetes and other serious illnesses.
Since most weight loss programs require a doctor's permission before starting, the introduction of a plan for good nutrition, counseling and monitoring of food intake, physical activity and a food plan during, as well as a maintenance plan afterward, it would make sense that every insurer should assist the consumer in paying for their chosen weight loss program. However, this is not a standard practice and varies depending upon your insurer, your plan and the yearly allowances for healthy lifestyle incentives. Some insurers do actually pay toward health club memberships while others offer discounts per plan year and still others provide a single lifetime benefit.
While commercial weight loss programs such as those seen advertised on TV can be accessed online, at work or via attendance at weekly meetings, some carriers have their own online portal which provides resources for assisting their members in his or her efforts at weight loss.
Regardless of the specific plan providing your health insurance coverage, and the program you chose to support a healthy lifestyle, to find out what reimbursements are available to you, it is always best to consult your policy before you make the choice.
However, even if your individual health insurance coverage may not cover this, don't let that affect your determination to participate in a weight loss program because you are definitely worth it!

Looking to jazz up your home for Hanukkah? Here are a few pieces of Judaica that make me smile. The first candle of Hanukkah is Saturday, December 24th. Pop Art Dreidels I discovered Rabbi Yitzchok Moully's pop art collection at a recent URJ convention. What struck me immediately is the strong use of bold, vibrant colors. Several of the pieces are specifically holiday-themed, including the dreidel art (with a stack of gelt in the lower right-hand corner), hamentashen art (with one bagel half in the lower right-hand corner!), and apple art (with honey in the lower right-hand … [Read more...]

Two Memorable DIY Hanukkah Gifts
At his 5-year-old birthday, Jake shared with us that he did not love getting clothes as presents. Duly noted. So when we bought him and his brother back-to-school clothes, I promised that their Hanukkah gifts would not be mostly clothes! Make a personalized calendar Of course, toys are high on their wish lists, especially as they get older and know what Sam and Ben and their other buddies have at home. But our boys also love the photographic calendars I make for them. They make the perfect Hanukkah presents – because they last all year, they're unique, and they help with reading, … [Read more...]
The Dot – #JewishBookFun4Kids – #6
The Dot, written by Peter H. Reynolds, was a discovery for me that sparked an instant passion. Thanks to our reading specialist daughter, Laura Pajor, for knowing that I'd totally groove on the idea. And I've been saving it to share until before Rosh Hashanah, because there's a great tie-in with the holiday. In this story, little Vashti was sitting glumly in art class, with a blank sheet of paper in front of her. She was sure that she could not draw. At first, her teacher tried to jolly her along. Then she said something that made all the difference: "Just make a mark and see where it … [Read more...]

BETTI (Best Educational Training Tool Innovation), designed to solve industries current training obstacles is an automated training solution for industrial applications. Generally, when a student graduates, they do not always possess the necessary skills needed within the workplace to succeed on the spot. Therefore, they need to undergo training within their new environment leading to unnecessary expenses and time consumption for the company.
BETTI aimed to replace this process. The device would take up the training role autonomously and prepare the new entrant for the work required on the factory floor using advanced simulation and step-by-step tutorials. BETTI was bundled with advanced features such as person tracking, tool recognition, automated drawers, quality control, obstacle avoidance, a motorized base and voice control. The overall system was bundled onto a standard toolbox that was re-designed to fulfil its' purpose to ensure the technicians tools were always at arms length.

Watch: Marie Osmond pees her pants on stage, wipes it up with a towel
We don't know whether to laugh, cringe or puke after watching this clip of Marie Osmond's very public little "accident".
The singer was performing on a cruise ship in the Bahamas with her brother Donny Osmond recently, when she literally "p---ed herself" laughing.
Shortly before the video footage starts up, Donny cracks a joke that causes Marie to collapse on the floor with laughter … And then the poor woman has no choice but to stay where she is once she realises she's wet herself.
To her credit, the 52-year-old manages to laugh her way through the whole nightmare, even the cringeworthy moment when she tells the audience, "I peed my pants!" and a stage hand brings her a towel.
Oh gawd. This has got to be a star's worst nightmare!
If it's any consolation, Marie, you're not alone. Black Eyed Peas singer Fergiehad a similar little accident on stage back in 2005.

Ten Thousand Skies Above You By Claudia Gray
The second book in the Firebird series
My Rating – 5*/5*
"Ever since she used the Firebird, her parents' invention, to cross into alternate dimensions, Marguerite has caught the attention of enemies who will do anything to force her into helping them dominate the multiverse—even hurting the people she loves. She resists until her boyfriend, Paul, is attacked and his consciousness scattered across multiple dimensions.
Marguerite has no choice but to search for each splinter of Paul's soul. The hunt sends her racing through a war-torn San Francisco, the criminal underworld of New York City, and a glittering Paris where another Marguerite hides a shocking secret. Each world brings Marguerite one step closer to rescuing Paul. But with each trial she faces, she begins to question the destiny she thought they shared. "
It feels like it was forever ago that I read the first book in this series which was A Thousand Pieces of you, so I did have to do a little recap and read a few reviews to make sure I remembered the world and then the memories came flooding back and I remembered just how much I enjoyed the book and I was even more excited to start Ten Thousand Skies Above You.
Firstly I want to state that this book was amazingly written and full of suspense and I was practically on the edge on my seat the entire time needed to know what was going to happen to Marguerite and the people she loved.
After my little recap of the first book Ten Thousand Skies above you pretty much sets off where the first book left off and we are once more thrown into the firebird world. Marguerite has been reunited with her parents but as always it isn't long before Triad once again interferes and she once again finds herself travelling through dimensions looking for Paul.
Now I don't know about you but I can get easily confused when reading books about parallel universe but Claudia Grey manages to keep it easy and simple with only have a few main rules that are pretty easy to follow (if I can follow it and not get confused so can you!).
The three main character in this book are Marguerite, Theo and Paul and I love each of them, it's amazing how much more the develop in this book, there strengths and weaknesses were much more fleshed out in this book rather than the first one. I like how Marguerite questions things like fate in parallel worlds. Theo is trying hard to break away from the reputation that he got in the last book which wasn't entirely his fault, as for Paul he isn't in this book a great deal but his "other versions" are which was interesting to see.
I guess this may put some people off but romance is a big part of this book. Although I do like both Paul and Theo I do think I'm team Theo even though I can figure out the outcome of this book since Marguerite is in love with Paul. In this book, we meet a lot of other versions of Paul so it was nice to see Paul not always be the person that Marguerite believes him to be.
The reveals in this book was great but it was also nice to see some things wrapped up nicely, we learn more about the Triad and about the Marguerites in different worlds. I did find that whenever I thought things were finally working out for these characters something else was thrown into their path and they were pushed further back from there happy ending.
Ten Thousand Skies Above You left us on a terrible cliff-hanger and I can't wait to read the next book.
Have you read this book?
If so I'd love to see in the comments what you thought about it ?

Terribly sorry for not posting for the past few days. It has been a bit of a hectic week, to say the least. Is it just me, or did this week just fly on by? Well, as the saying goes, Time flies when you're having fun.
Anyway, last night I was at a Fashion event held by Lily's Jewellery & Accessories, so I have plenty of picture from that to come, so prepare yourselves. It was a great evening, and I shall discuss my experience tomorrow. I'm currently sifting through all the photos, and editing them, so it's quite a lengthy process. Hopefully, I'll have everything done for tomorrow.
Anyway, isn't there just something absolutely incredible about laughter? Even capturing someone in the midst of their chuckling, capturing them emanating such joy. This is a little throwback to the Fashion Showcase in March, but I still can't help but admire the photograph. Photographing people in their element, has become my new favourite thing. It's a joy, and a privilege. This particular model really stood out. She was so comfortable, and enjoying herself. I suppose, when you're surrounded by those whom you cherish, you'll smile brightly. So, in other words, laughing can make your day better. I can't help but smile at this image. A genuine smile speaks volumes.
My Photography journey is gradually progressing to something great. In the next few years, I'm hoping to have my own little business up and running, and I honestly cannot wait to share so many more Portraits or landscapes with all of you.
A shorter post today, but bear with me. There's only so many times I can ramble, without exhausting myself. Rambling takes a lot of effort. (Also, recently I have become obsessed with wearing quirky fake nails, and it is an absolute struggle to type. Even now, I have to go back and spell check. Oh well, at least I look fabulous.)
Stay tuned, so much more to come.
Have a fab weekend!

Hall's volunteer service covers 60 years, numerous agencies
May is Older Americans Month
Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz was joined by Erie County Commissioner of Senior Services Randy Hoak and members of Senior Services department as well as family members of Ms. Rose Marie "Ro" Hall as he recognized Hall as Erie County's Senior of the Year for 2015.
An active volunteer in numerous agencies and capacities for 60 years, Hall is the immediate past chairwoman of the Erie County Senior Services advisory board, the current chairwoman of the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) advisory council, a volunteer receptionist for Meals on Wheels of Western New York, and an active leader within her church parish. She has served on the governor's advisory committee on aging and as a board member and committee co-chair of the Network in Aging Inc. of WNY.
"Ro Hall is a terrific example of an individual who constantly looks for ways to give back to her community and helps to build a better Erie County for all. She has touched countless lives through her many volunteer positions and has been a constant force in whatever endeavors she undertakes," Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz said. "It is an honor to recognize her as the 2015 Erie County Senior of the Year, and I want to thank her for her years of volunteerism. She has truly made a positive difference in our community."
Professionally, Hall has worked as volunteer coordinator for Erie County's Senior Companion Program, manager of the McLaughlin Center for Senior Wellness/Kaleida, a HUD housing manager in Buffalo and Blasdell, and as a Catholic elementary school teacher.
Born and raised in Buffalo, Hall brings a solid South Buffalo enthusiasm to all she does and has been a tireless volunteer throughout her life, even while raising five children and earning a Master's degree.
"I volunteer because I have time, some talents, and it's my way of giving back for all the good in my life," she said. "Because I have diversity in my volunteer efforts, I'm never bored. I meet interesting people. I have discovered many interesting things about this community and myself. I receive a certain amount of satisfaction in knowing I'm helping society in a small way."
Commissioner of Senior Services Randy Hoak added, "It has been an honor to work with Ro and even more so to recognize her as Senior of the Year for 2015. Ro is a true leader in the field of aging. Ro has been a source of inspiration to fellow older adults, aging services professionals, and government leaders. Ro always looks for ways to give of her time and talents, and she is greatly deserving of this recognition."
Hall is now in her eighth year as a member of the Senior Services Department's RSVP advisory council, and has served as chairwoman of that body since 2009, advocating for the program's strategic planning process as well as the "University Express" program. RSVP's continuing education program, "University Express," enriches the lives of older adults by recruiting retired teachers and elected officials, college professors and local professionals who lead seminars on a wide array of topics of interest to seniors. The seminars are open and free to everyone at senior centers across Erie County.
As a member of the advisory board, Hall was actively involved in the "Safe Streets" movement, which grew out of state and local "Complete Streets" legislation, advocating for walkable and safe streets for seniors to stay healthy, actively engaged in their communities, and to avoid social isolation.

Q: What is fiber optics?
A: Fiber optic cable is made up of thin strands of glass that carry information by transmitting pulses of light. An all-fiber network offers far more bandwidth, reliability, flexibility, security and longer economic life than copper, even though its price is comparable. Fiber can handle any bandwidth demand with ease. In fact, one bundle of fiber cable can carry all of the world's current communications traffic.
Q: What is bandwidth?
A: Bandwidth is the ability to carry information. The more bandwidth a network has, the more information it can carry. Networks with high bandwidth also tend to be more reliable because fewer bottlenecks disturb the flow of information.
Q: How much bandwidth do we need?
A: The amount of bandwidth we need grows every year. The biggest growth has been for video – traditional TV, Internet-based video streaming, and video communications (Skype). This trend is expected to continue at least for the rest of this decade. Video requires not only extra bandwidth but also extra reliability. The smallest delay in data transmission can result in distorted views.
Q: How much will installing fiber to my home cost?
A: Nothing! As part of our initial rollout, we are offering free fiber installation and connection to our all-fiber network.
Q: All providers seem to claim they have fiber networks. What's different about yours?
A: Don't be fooled! It is true that most cable and DSL networks use some fiber. In these networks, the fiber carries the signal close enough to businesses and homes so that copper can carry it the rest of the way. The available bandwidth is far less than an all-fiber network.
Q: Will getting fiber installed to my home tear up my yard?
A: It is our policy and practice that any damage is restored to its original condition.
Q: What services does LightStream™ offer?
A: Over our fiber optic network we offer very high-speed internet. Very soon you'll also be able to receive digital voice. We are working to bring you video (television), too! We also offer long distance, computer repair, and more!
Q: When is fiber coming to my neighborhood?
A: That's a good question! Right now, LightStream™ is engineering a new communications network in phases. Check back on our website for updates or call us at 574-278-7121.
Q: How will I know when fiber optics is available to my property?
A: As LightStream™ moves into a neighborhood to build fiber optics, we will go door-to-door on foot and also send direct mail to the effected properties. If you think you've been missed, please contact us.

Ryan Tannehill threw for a season-low 149 yards Sunday. He couldn't care less.
"I just want to be the type of football team that finds a way to win," Tannehill said after the Dolphins' 27-23 triumph over the Jets. "This team is willing to do whatever it takes to win, and you play to win the game, so I am more than happy to be a part of that."
The identity of the Dolphins has come into focus, and the ascension of Jay Ajayi (who had another 111 yards Sunday) the last month has meant less of Tannehill. The Dolphins quarterback has thrown no more than 32 passes the last three games; he had 113 attempts in the Dolphins' first three. Not coincidentally, two of those three early games were losses.
Tannehill completed 17 of his 28 attempts without a turnover Sunday and hooked up with tight end Dominique Jones for a one-yard touchdown pass.
But he's on pace for the fewest passing yards, completions and touchdowns since his rookie year, and fewest attempts of his career. He's averaged just 202 passing yards in the Dolphins' three-game winning streak.
No Dolphins player had more than three catches or 42 receiving yards against the Jets. The Dolphins had just two offensive touchdowns Sunday and might have lost if not for Kenyan Drake's 96-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.
"Obviously, there were some frustrating points in the game," Tannehill said. "We didn't make plays when we should have."
Still, the Dolphins have their first three-game winning streak since 2014, and Tannehill has made timely winning plays during the run. In the process, they've climbed back to .500 and into the playoff conversation.
"We have some momentum," Tannehill said. "I think we're playing some good football right now. Obviously, today wasn't as clean as we'd like it offensively, but we're on the right track."

Plot based on real life
Better than Sci-fi
Part 20 – Lakshman wins at the games
The Sunday evening saw most of HEGT, and even people from Tukawadi, with passes given out to them, converge at the Recreation Centre for the big game of the year. There was a very festive atmosphere. There were food stalls selling wada-pavs and burgers, and plenty other fast food on the grounds. Excited children walking with cotton candy, and wearing matching team t-shirts with their parents were all over the place. There were face and body painting stalls, and people were flocking to get themselves painted green and black, and red and white, in their team's colours. Everybody was out to have a good time.
The game was Love-key. It was a spin on HEGT's novel intra-campus ferry system – the love-kits, and hockey. What some enthusiastic HEGT employees had done is that they took the levitation technology in the ferrying baskets and miniaturized it, and integrated it into the shoe soles, elbow pads, belts, and helmets of the players. Then the field creating material that was drawn out on the paths for the love-kits ferry was painted all over the hockey ground. The players were given controls on their palms to adjust the field created from their gear that interacted with the field from the hockey ground. Thus they were able to adjust how high they wanted to be from the ground. Thus by using the controls on their palms, with their fingers, which took them some practice to get used too, they could take off from the ground or get back to it. To move forward, or side-ways, the player would throw their weight in that direction.
Part 16 – Moonlight trek – all freshers
The whole group was pretty excited about their weekend trip. They were going on a special trek, and it was a one that the locals often did, and was suggested by them. There were going to go to a place a little away from Tukawadi, and trek from there across the range of hills to culminate in the devraai on the hill in HEGT. The special thing about this trek is that it was an overnight one, on the full moon night of Guru Nanak Jayanti.
Come Saturday, the group, largish for a trek, 19 of them, reached the starting point at the base of a hill around 7 in the evening. They were accompanied by Mahesh Mali kaka's teenage son, Vishwa and 2 of his friends, who were local residents of Tukawadi and going to play the role of guides today.
It was a cool evening, and the group was in high spirits. Many of them had got along packets of snacks for the way. Moni and Bethany had come together with some volunteers, which included Bulbul Singh, and put together a nice spread, which included methi parathas and payasam, among other yummy treats.
Suraj had had a busy week, and a busy day that day as well. He was kind of tired and was in two minds about joining this trek, but eventually tagged along. He was enjoying sitting around in the group, nibbling at snacks being passed around, cracking jokes, laughing. He half-jokingly suggested that they spend the night there – sitting, snacking, snoozing and get back home in the morning. He was eloquently supported by Shirisha and Kamal, but generally booed down.
Shortly, they started up the hill, with a big, rich, copper moon looking on them from a clear sky. It was magical. There was moonlight enough to read in, and many of them exclaimed how thanks to electric lights they didn't know a full moon was so bright.
At the top of the hill, Vishwa pointed out a very faint light, like a star, out in the distance. "That" he said "is a light on the tower in the HEGT campus. And is roughly the direction we will go in".
'This can't be so bad then' thought Suraj to himself. "If we can actually see HEGT, then we'll be in a few hours – half way through the night." Continue reading

Maysak Intensifies to Super Typhoon Over Pacific
Published: 2015-03-30 23:00:00
Topics: Weather
Countries: Federated States of Micronesia , Philippines
Read full report by AccuWeather.com
Maysak will continue to strengthen during the next 12-24 hours as it moves westward across the Pacific Ocean. Though passing to the north of Yap, flooding rain and significant damaging winds will still be possible.
Maysak first developed into a tropical storm on Friday while located across Micronesia, southeast of Guam. The storm has continued strengthening since and will remain a large and dangerous typhoon as it tracks westward toward the Philippines this week.
Maysak slammed the island of Chuuk over the weekend with damaging winds and torrential rainfall as the core of the storm moved directly over the island. More than 250 mm (10 inches) of rain was reported, most of which fell in under six hours.
Andrew Yatilman, director of the National Emergency Management Office of the Federated States of Micronesia, reported to Radio New Zealand that there was severe damage across Chuuk with roofs completely torn off homes and possible casualties.
Yap will be the next significantly populated island to be affected by Maysak. The close encounter will occur from Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, local time, with lingering impacts into Wednesday afternoon.
Maysak will be close to peak intensity at this time with sustained winds expected to be 285 kph (180 mph) or greater, equivalent of Category 5 hurricane. Gusts as high as 350 kph (220 mph) are possible. Fortunately with the storm passing about 100 miles to the north wind gusts of 160 kph (100 mph) will be more likely.
Major wind damage across the islands is expected, along with flooding rainfall. The powerful super typhoon will bring life-threatening conditions to the islands for a period of 12 to 24 hours. Conditions will improve Wednesday night as the storm moves away from the area.
After passing Yap, Maysak will soon begin to feel the influence of increasingly strong wind shear as it tracks across the western Philippines Sea. This wind shear will begin a weakening trend as the typhoon approaches the Philippines.

The economic devestation of the Dust Bowl during the Great Depression is pretty well known. What is less well known are the underlying causes that enabled the severe drought to do such widespread economic and environmental damage. You can read more details here, but in a nutshell, the farmers planted crops that were immediately profitable and did not plant crops that replenished the soil or grew deep roots to maintain the topsoil. The result was depleted soil that was easily kicked up by the winds when the drought came along.
I can't help but notice similar behaviors in companies in their pursuit for quarterly profits. The news is full of Wall Street darling companies that have milked their current products and processes to realize short term profits, at the expense of investing in longer term initiatives. These companies have no ability to withstand a disruption when it occurs in their industry which, like a drought in the weather, will inevitably occur at one time or another.
It seems that it would make sense to valuate companies based on their ability to strike a good balance between near term profitability and investment in longer term ways to provide their value to the market. On the surface, most people will tell you that they actually do this. But when you look deeper, this assessment is often made by superficial accounting of things such as R&D spending as a percentage of company revenue or profit. What is usually missing is a clear understanding of the actual value a company provides to its market (as opposed to just the products it sells to its market), and a deliberate investment in new ways this value could be provided by either evolving current offerings or disrupting them.
This type of assessment is not easy to do, therefore, it's not often done. As the pace of macroeconomic and technological chance increases, I expect to see more companies being lost in the wake of market disruption. Most will blame the market conditions at the time - just like those who blamed the dust bowl on the drought. Precious few will recognize the fact that it was their own actions that enabled the disruption to wreak such havoc on their business.

It's become part of the daily ritual: get home, plug in your phone, wake-up to a full battery, repeat. Our poly-gadget lives depend on our batteries having enough juice for the day and, depending on how we use them, they're usually good for just about one workday of use. However, a new nanochemical innovation from an 18-year-old California teen may throw this whole ritual on its head.
This weekend, Eesha Khare of Saratogoa, California took home a US$50,000 scholarship from this year's Intel International Science and Engineering Fair for her supercapacitor battery that can fully charge a smartphone in fewer than 30 seconds. Additionally, the tiny technology can last for 10,000 charge-recycles, compared to only 1000 cycles for traditional rechargeable batteries. (Apple, for example, claims its iPhone battery is designed to be able to maintain 80 percent of its original capacity through 400 full recharge cycles.)
Manufacturers are surely taking note that in addition to its extreme efficiency, Khare's charger is also flexible, which would make it an ideal component for the coming wave of wearable tech making its way to our wrists and faces.
Aside from mobile, the technology has obvious applications in all-electric cars. Tesla's all-electric Model S recently scored Consumer Reports' highest car rating ever: a 99 out of 100. The only reason it didn't score a perfect 100 was because of the time it takes to fully charge – around five hours, even when using Tesla's proprietary high power wall Connector. Hopefully, Tesla CEO Elon Musk is watching.
The Intel Fair also recognised 17-year-old Henry Wanjune Lin of Shrevesport, Louisiana for his new cosmological mapping data and awarded him a US$50,000 scholarship. Nineteen-year-old Romanian Ionut Alexandru Budisteanu took home the fair's Gordon E Moore Award and its US$75,000 scholarship for his new take on autonomous car navigation tech that costs around only US$4000 to implement.
A quick Google search turned up the fact that last year Budisteanu was awarded a US$10,000 scholarship for inventing a technology that enabled the blind to 'see with their tongue'.
This should stand to shame all of us for what we failed to accomplish when we were teenagers.

Horton Hears a Who!
They finally get it right! With this latest animated Dr. Seuss adaptation, Horton Hears a Who re-creates all the endearing Seussian qualities we've come to cherish.
Horton Hears a Who may not be as high-profile as, say, The Cat in the Hat or How the Grinch Stole Christmas, but it is equally beloved. Thankfully, the script doesn't overcomplicate things but rather keeps to a basic theme of acceptance and staying true to yourself, no matter what the consequences. The story centers on one particularly sweet and imaginative elephant named Horton (Jim Carrey), living in the jungle of Nool, who hears a faint cry coming from a tiny speck of dust floating through the air. Since only he can hear it because of his super-giant ears, Horton quickly finds out it's an entire city called Whoville, nestled deep within the speck. And because "a person's a person, no matter how small," this gives Horton the justification for transporting said speck, now resting on a clover, to a safer spot, despite the ridicule and threats from his fellow Nool denizens. Meanwhile, the mayor of Whoville (Steve Carell), in constant communication with Horton, is having difficulty convincing the town's people they might be in danger of being squashed--or eaten, or blown away into the far reaches. But the mayor shouldn't be worried; Horton's motto--"an elephant's faithful 100 percent"--means the kindly pachyderm will stop at nothing to accomplish his task.
Jim Carrey as a childlike, wildly imaginative elephant? Steve Carell as a furry figurehead who likes being everybody's friend? Imagine that. They both probably could have played it straight, without the animation, and it would have worked--but the CGI certainly adds to their performances. As a Seuss regular, Carrey's usual manic behavior is well-harnessed within the extra folds of elephant skin, and Horton's optimistic outlook is infectious. For example, he doesn't exactly know what 'ASAP' means, but he's pretty sure it means "Act Swiftly, Awesome Pachyderm!" That might just be a better acronym. Carell, as Mr. Mayor of Whoville, is also an upbeat fellow who cherishes his job, his cute wife (Amy Poehler), his 96 daughters and especially his only son, Jo Jo (Jesse McCartney), but when it comes time to save the town, the mayor is all action. Also included in the A-list cast is Seth Rogen, as a hyperactive rodent-type and Horton's BFF; Will Arnett as a molting evil vulture; and Carol Burnett as the snooty Kangaroo, Nool jungle's resident naysayer and mob instigator. It's just another collection of eclectic voices that work well together.
Animating Dr. Seuss is a definitely the key to a successful big-screen adaptation, which up to this point hasn't been done before. One has to wonder why. Yes, seeing Jim Carrey decked out in green fur as the Grinch was quite a spectacle--even Mike Myers as the Cat in the Hat took some initiative. But seriously, what better way to re-create Dr. Seuss than with CGI? Veteran Pixar animator Jimmy Hayward (Monsters, Inc., Toy Story 2) and newcomer Steve Martino take the helm with Horton Hears a Who and paint us all the wacky and wonderful sights and sounds of a Seuessian world. The animals in the jungle are certainly different, with stripes and spots and colors not generally found in such an environ, while Whoville finally looks like the real thing rather than a set design straight from an amusement park. There's even an homage to standard 2-D animation, particularly Japanime, when Horton fantasizes himself a martial arts hero. Classic stuff. Simply, there's really no way they could go back to live-action Dr. Seuss when there are no limits to the imagination he inspires with animation.
Bottom Line

Last week Tyler the Creator accused Tidal of rigging the Billboard music charts by making Tidal exclusives available for free to non-subscribers to increase their streaming numbers [click here if you missed that].
Billboard responds to the controversy...
From Billboard
We're getting questions around whether Billboard is suddenly counting free streams for this coming week's Billboard 200, seemingly due to some misinformation posted online. We'd like to take a moment to clear up any confusion that misinformation may have caused.
Free streams -- with "free" defined as streams a listener has accessed without having a paid subscription or as part of a trial period subscription -- have counted towards the Billboard 200 since it changed to a consumption model in 2014 where the ranking is determined by blending album sales, track equivalent album units and streaming equivalent album units.
Nothing in our process has changed for this week.

Sixth Form
We are one of the few comprehensive schools in the area that also has its own sixth form. The sixth form is part of the main school and students appreciate the level of pastoral care that is maintained through their two years with us. We take pride in knowing our sixth form students well and in turn they feel comfortable in their environment. The sixth formers have a brand new purpose built common room within 250m of the train station. This is opposite our new sixth form Coach House computing suite, one of several purpose built sixth form areas around the school site.
The excellent transport links make it straightforward for students in our rural community to reach us. We attract students from all the local 11-16 comprehensives; 50% of our sixth form cohort previously attended other schools. Every year we also welcome international students who stay with host families in the area and spend an academic year with us. These students add to the excellent mix of students that we have and we pride ourselves on our friendly, welcoming atmosphere and how effortlessly they settle in and make new friends.
Academically we are very strong and many students are attracted by our reputation particularly in Mathematics (our specialism), Physics (we are a regional centre of excellence for the Ogden Trust) and Music (our bands have a national reputation and are the only school band affiliated to the band of the Royal Marines). As a result our sixth form has grown in size from below 200 in 2008 to over 280 in 2017.
The majority of our students move on to undergraduate courses at universities. We have a very good record of the percentage of students achieving places in the most prestigious universities such as those in the Russell Group. For those students who choose not to go to University there are opportunities to gain higher apprenticeships with firms such as BAE, Forge Europa, JF Hornby Accountants and GlaxoSmithKline.
This year's record A Level results saw an overall value added performance that is significantly above the national average. All our students are encouraged to involve themselves with the wide variety of extra-curricular activities on offer ranging from volunteering in the school and the local community, sporting activities including our British Championship winning orienteering team, performing arts, Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award, extended project and a large number of clubs and societies such as the Vic Medics, Law Society and Model United Nations. Students can also take advantage of our very own climbing wall in the school gym.
