The National UDL Task Force works to incorporate the principles of UDL into federal policy and practice initiatives. For example, more than forty national organizations have joined together to recommend UDL legislative language for the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).
Task Force members will continue to work together as other federal education laws come up for reauthorization, including the Higher Education Act, the Perkins Career and Technical Education Act, and the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
In a letter sent to Congressional education leaders, the National UDL Task Force, a group of 40+ national general and special education organizations, recently called for the inclusion of UDL in the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).
To encourage Congress to adopt UDL as a key component of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), the National UDL Task Force developed recommendations for the reauthorization of ESEA (also known as No Child Left Behind).

Another year has passed, and we're continuing our tradition of supporting Open Access Week with a look at how open access research can be put into action.
Publishing open access means anyone, anywhere can access your research which means it can have an impact beyond academia. Access to research can help inform policy decisions, lead to medical breakthroughs, and improve our everyday lives. Open access can make it easier for policy makers, non-government agencies, the media, educators, and practitioners to put research into action.
Alasdair Rae, Editor-in-Chief of Regional Studies, Regional Science, explains:
"The research we do in universities is often complex, technical and abstract. However, it can also change the world, and the best way of making this happen is to open it up to anyone who wants or needs to read it. Open access publishing is the best way of making this happen and the best way of democratising knowledge. It is the first step on the road to truly transformative impact."
Promoting wider engagement with research
In its ninth year running, Open Access Week promotes the opportunities and benefits of open access research. This year's theme is Open in Action, looking at how individuals and groups can move open access forward.
We've worked with the following learned societies that Taylor & Francis partner with to highlight open access research with real world applications:
- American Planning Association
- American Statistical Association
- Diagnosis Press
- European Urban Research Association
- Institute of Atmospheric Physics
- Regional Studies Association
- Royal Town Planning Institute
- Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies (RUSI)
- Society for Educational Studies
- South African Society of Anaesthesiologists (SASA)
- Uppsala Medical Society
Our 'From Research to Action' collection brings together articles on planning, transport, defence, crime, education, migration, the environment, energy, government and politics, healthcare, international relations, housing, and employment, which have been selected for their potential to have impact beyond academia.
Xiaochun Liu, Executive Editor of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters highlights the impact that some of these articles can have:
"Some papers have shown exceptionally good performance in terms of views and downloads; and we can't help but notice these papers are also of wider societal interest, especially to policy-makers. For example, studies on extreme heat in China and urbanization-related warming are essential for building a well-informed early warning system; studies on drought in Southwest China and Arctic sea ice and haze pollution will help the public understand why natural disasters happen."
You can also read author introductions explaining the practical applications of some of these articles, whether it's mitigating climate change, creating jobs, improving education, making medical procedures safer, or creating government policy.
Open Access Week round up
Here are some of the ways we're encouraging the use of open access research in action during Open Access Week:
- Read the 'From Research to Action' collection
- Join our Twitter discussion – the 'Research to Action' Twitter discussion will be on Wednesday 26th October, 2-30 – 3.30pm (GMT)
- Read 6 steps to take your research from idea to action, with our Open Access Week exclusive cartoon and competition
- Listen to the public engagement podcast: 15 minutes to develop your research career

The Angry Video Game Nerd (abbreviated as AVGN, occasionally shortened to The Nerd) is the titular character of a series of farcical retrogaming video reviews by James D. Rolfe.
See Also: The Angry Video Game Nerd
Name: James D.Rolfe
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Occupation(s): Internet star,Gamer
Abilities: Power Glove,Sonic boom, Hadoken,Shoryuken
Relatives: Unknown Wife
Allies: Kyle Justin,Nostalgia critic (AcrhRival),Claire Forest,more...
First Appearance: Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest (The Angry Video Game Nerd)
Theme: The Angry Video Game Nerd Theme Song
The show generally revolves around retro game reviews that involve bitter rants against particularly low-quality or poorly designed video games. The series began as a feature on YouTube, and later joined ScrewAttack Entertainment, which would later have three of its features, including the AVGN, transferred to GameTrailers exclusively. The show was formerly known as The Angry Nintendo Nerd, a title that was abandoned to avoid legal issues due to the Nintendo trademark, and because the show started reviewing games on other consoles.
The titular Nerd character is an ill-tempered and foul-mouthed video game fanatic. He derives comic appeal from excessive and inventive use of profanity, frequent displays of explicit gestures, and heavy consumption of beer,particularly Rolling Rock or Yuengling, to "soothe the pain". A particular characteristic is his favorable comparison of extremely repulsive and painful, usually firmly scatological, acts to playing the games he reviews. Varying amounts of physical comedy are mixed into the verbal abuse.
The Angry Video Game Nerd show originated on YouTube under the JamesNintendoNerd Channel, where it was known as the Angry Nintendo Nerd show until November 15, 2006. The show was aired entirely on YouTube until James Rolfe joined with ScrewAttack, after which the YouTube account was used only for trailers and miscellaneous videos. On July 25, 2008, older episodes that were exclusive only to Gametrailers started being gradually uploaded to the JamesNintendoNerd Channel for the YouTube subscribers.

We are not being sidelined: Kit Siang
Posted on 17 July 2017 - 01:50pm

PETALING JAYA: DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang has given an assurance that his party has not been sidelined in the newly-announced Pakatan Harapan (PH) structure despite claims made by some Barisan Nasional's leaders.
The Gelang Patah MP said even Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Seri Salleh Said Keruak had demanded an explanation due to the absence of DAP leaders in the top positions of PH.
In a blog post, Lim also rebuked several allegations by government leaders after the announcement of the PH leadership lineup last Friday.
"Let me assure them that the DAP is not being sidelined in Pakatan Harapan, that no single political party can decide and dictate Pakatan Harapan's polices and manifestos, and that there will be no revenge binge by Pakatan Harapan when it forms the government," he said.
The Opposition coalition on Friday night revealed the PH lineup, placing jailed Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as the de facto leader, former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as the chairman while PKR's Datuk Seri Wan Azizah Wan Ibrahim assumed the presidency.
The absence of prominent DAP leaders, including Lim and his son Guan Eng, in the top posts had raised questions that the party was being sidelined by its political allies.
The highest post held by the party was as one of the four vice-presidents in PH, which is held by Bandar Kuching MP Chong Chieng Jien.

Eudyptes schlegeli
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Eudyptes schlegeli Finsch, 1876
Common Name(s):
|Taxonomic Source(s):
|del Hoyo, J., Collar, N.J., Christie, D.A., Elliott, A. and Fishpool, L.D.C. 2014. HBW and BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World. Volume 1: Non-passerines. Lynx Edicions BirdLife International, Barcelona, Spain and Cambridge, UK.
|Identification information:
|65-75 cm. Large, yellow-crested, black-and-white penguin. Black upperparts. White underparts. Pure white to pale grey cheeks from crest to throat. Long yellow, orange and black plumes project from forehead patch back along crown and droop behind eye. Similar spp. E. schlegeli and Macaroni Penguin E. chrysolophus are the only crested penguins with crests that meet on forehead. E. chrysolophus has jet-black to dark grey cheeks and throat, but light-faced birds are also reported at some sites.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Near Threatened ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|BirdLife International
|Butchart, S. & Symes, A.
|Alderman, R., Carmichael, N., Copson, G., Gales, R., García Borboroglu, P., Garnett, S. & Trathan, P.
|Ashpole, J, Garnett, S., McClellan, R., Moreno, R., Stattersfield, A., Taylor, J., Trathan, P.
This species has a large population which is currently thought to be stable, it is confined to just three islands all in close proximity and as such it is susceptible to the effects of human activities or stochastic events. However there are currently no obvious threats that could result in the species qualifying for Critically Endangered in a short time period. The species is therefore classified as Near Threatened as it almost meets the requirements for listing as threatened under criterion D2.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This species is confined to Macquarie Island and nearby Bishop and Clerk Islands, Australia. However, small numbers of similar-looking birds appear at other sub-Antarctic islands (such as South Georgia and Kerguelen Island [Duriez and Delord 2012]), indicating that it may breed elsewhere.
|Countries occurrence:
Vagrant:Argentina; Falkland Islands (Malvinas); South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands
|Additional data:
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|The species was heavily exploited in the 19th century, but has recovered and, in 1984-1985, an estimated 850,000 pairs were breeding on Macquarie, with an earlier count of over 1,000 pairs on Bishop and Clerk (Garnett and Crowley 2000). The population is believed to be stable.
Trend Justification: The population is thought to be stable, although there is no quantitative analysis to support this (Garnett and Crowley 2000, Garnett et al. 2011, R. Gales in litt. 2012).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|It nests in huge colonies on bare, level, pebbly, rocky or sandy ground. When breeding, it feeds on euphausiids, fish and squid. Its ecology and movements during the winter when away from the island are unknown (Christidis and Boles 1994).
|Terrestrial; Marine
|Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat:
|Generation Length (years):
|Movement patterns:
|Not a Migrant
|Congregatory (and dispersive)
|Major Threat(s):
|It has been argued that there is currently no plausible and serious threat to the species (Garnett et al. 2011), since rats, rabbits and cats were eradicated in 2014 as part of the Macquarie Island Pest Eradication Project. Breeding success can be reduced as a result of disturbance by researchers and tourists (Trathan et al. 2015). Marine pollution, particularly ingested plastics, kills some birds (Trathan et al. 2015). Fishing around sub-Antarctic islands may also adversely affect the species, however during the breeding season the species forages in waters near Macquarie Island and in the Exclusive Economic Zone where fishing is strictly regulated (S. Garnett in litt. 2011). The most likely long-term threat is the effect of climate change on food supply. Disease outbreaks represent another potential threat to the species (R. Gales in litt. 2012). Climate change and disease were recently identified as the only current threats to the species (Trathan et al. 2015). Oil spills may also be important at local scales.
|Conservation Actions:
Conservation and Research Actions Underway
In Australia the species has been evaluated as Near Threatened. Studies of foraging ecology and breeding biology have been completed. Monitoring of breeding population size and success is ongoing, including a planned population survey in 2016/2017. Feral cats were eradicated from Macquarie Island in 2001, and rodents and rabbits were eradicated in 2014 as a result of the Macquarie Island Pest Eradication Project (Parks and Wildlife Service 2014). Tourists on breeding islands are managed to prevent disturbance.
Conservation and Research Actions Proposed
Carry out surveys to obtain an up-to-date population estimate. Determine trends in numbers. Monitor rates and effects of marine debris ingestion. Monitor the effects of fishing. Establish demographic parameters, particularly survival of different age classes. Study the potential impacts of climate change. Implement a biosecurity plan for Macquarie Island (Parks and Wildlife Service 2014).

The world is making progress but we are struggling to ensure the rights of freedom and tolerance for all.
At times it seems that the world is going backwards in terms of social progress and that our efforts are not making a dent in addressing our world's most complex problems. Fortunately, new data from the global Social Progress Index brings the welcome news that, on average, the lives of the people of the world are getting better.
The Social Progress Index is a comprehensive measure of societal performance based entirely on social and environmental outcome indicators. It is a holistic measure of the quality of life of 98% of the world's population. Looking at trends since the Index was launched in 2014, the 2017 report shows that there has been a small but significant increase in world social progress over that period from 63.19 to 64.85 (on a scale of 0-100). Moreover, the majority of countries – 113 out of 128 – have shown improvement.
Many of the biggest gainers were developing countries such as Nigeria and Nepal, where progress is most needed. Developed countries such as Norway, Spain and Japan also posted significant improvements. The biggest gains in world social progress in these years have come through improvements in access to information, through the spread of mobile phones and the internet, and through wider access to top-quality higher education.
More worryingly, we see little or no progress for the world in areas such as personal safety and tolerance and inclusion, and the world has gone backwards in this period on personal rights. It is deterioration in these factors that caused some of the biggest falls in social progress, notably in Hungary and Nicaragua.
Denmark topped the ranking this year. Indeed, the Nordic countries all made it into the premier league of countries with very high social progress. But they don't have a monopoly. Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand and the UK also made it into this top category.
Nor is Denmark, as the top ranked country a social progress paradise. The Index highlights areas where Denmark could and should be doing better, such as on life expectancy, the number of boys dropping out of school and religious tolerance.
Of the G7 countries, Canada comes out on top on social progress, with the UK second. But both countries have made no gains since 2014, although prospects for the UK with ongoing austerity and Brexit look more challenging. Germany joins Canada and the UK in the very high social progress category for the first time, thanks to a jump in performance on tolerance and inclusion over the past three years. Japan has also posted significant gains since 2014 although is still in the second tier (high social progress).
The news for the remaining members of the G7 is less good. Italy is the last placed member of the G7 on social progress (24th in the world) but it is also the poorest. France comes in a disappointing 19th in the world. The US, the richest member of the G7 in terms of GDP per capita, is seriously underperforming to come in 18th in the world on social progress. Lack of safety, school dropouts, and low life expectancy are part of the story but so too is a slump in performance on tolerance and inclusion since 2014.
Moving beyond the rankings, the Social Progress Index shows where each country is strongest and weakest, compared to countries of similar wealth. For even the best performing country in the world, Denmark, challenges remain around the number of boys dropping out of high school as well as life expectancy. By offering a rigorous and comprehensive assessment of country performance, the Social Progress Index can help countries to focus their resources on the biggest challenges, build collaborations, and, hopefully, have the biggest impact possible on citizens' real quality of life.

It is understood that you won't forget your passport, your visa, and your identity card. But before leaving, doubly make sure that they are in your safe custody. It is essential that you avoid keeping your documents along with your money, cash and other valuables. You understand that you will be required to regularly prove your identities during security checks, so you wouldn't like the onlookers to get attentive towards your cash, while you take out your passport/visa or identity cards.
While traveling, do not forget to keep tablets of aspirin, paracetamol, and vitamins like the B-Complex. If you have a history of feeling nauseated while traveling, consult your doctor for any medicines you can use while traveling. Keep a pack of glucose powder handy, as you or your fellow travelers might need it. Bandages and antiseptic creams or lotions are also essential. Do keep a pain-relieving balm or spray along in your first-aid kit.
Change of place, climate and food habits tend to make a throat sore, the cure for which is to gurgle with hot water with salt in it.
A good medicine for abdominal problems is the cheap and easily available Isabgol. It is a tasteless dry seed that can be taken with water, milk or yogurt and perform the miracle of holding one's insides intact while on the move. Foreigners often jeered at this native remedy but now that its properties have been acclaimed by science, you can buy a sugarcoated variety.
Medical kits must be attuned to your personal needs. Don't lug around on a trek medicines you know you will never need.
Invariably useful for a wide range of purposes is an old newspaper. You can open it under your sleeping bag on a cold pier waiting for the boat, or spread it on top of your sleeping bag as an extra blanket. It can help dry your shoes; folded it carries fruit and vegetables. It can stabilize a rocking table in a restaurant and enable you to survive a windy night by sealing a window that rattles. Newspapers are ideal to hide behind when you don't want to talk or when you can't find your trousers are big enough to preserve your modesty. They swat files, double up as blotting paper, provide crosswords, and will turn into paper airplanes.
A small torch is an essential equipment. Lights can go off at any time in India, especially in the summer months with the load on the power grid. A pen-torch of plastic or aluminum body withstands the monsoon mildew. It pays each morning to open the torch and turn around the top battery so that it doesn't light up accidentally while on the move.
Excellent advice to a trekker who has climbed to his objective is "cut your fingernails". If you don't, the descent can be excruciating and you may lose the whole nail from the bruising journey back down. If you can't dig out the expedition scissors, use a razor blade that you ought to have taped inside your diary. To have such small but lifesaving gadgets close at hand is the greatest art the traveler can learn.
It always pays to carry a small lock, but not too small. This should be used to double-lock the door of your tourist bungalow or budget hotel. If it opens to a number combination you must remember to carry a torch when you return at night. When carrying a key chain, tie it on a piece of brightly colored cloth or plastic that will enable its easier location if dropped. In India many doors are hinged at both sides and open at the middle in two panels. Make sure the first panel that closes is firmly bolted top and bottom, otherwise both panels will remain loose and offer a security threat.
If you are of the scientific mould and feel an urge to measure everything, an easy measuring rod to carry is a length of string with knots to indicate inches. You can use this to measure the size of a temple frieze or gauge the circumference of a Himalayan cedar. Some travelers consider string the most precious aid and use it to secure rattling windows and mend sagging deck chairs. Nowadays, a good substitute is a roll of scotch tape or plastic insulating tape, which can mend, patch, and close many unwanted openings.
One of the most valuable pieces of trekking equipment is an umbrella. It acts as a walking stick, can scare off dogs and can also do services as a tent support. However, beware of flimsy collapsible umbrellas that may not work in the cold when the oil in their joints freezes. Also, don't open an umbrella on a windy ridge lest you take off. To avoid ownership arguments (since most umbrellas look alike) either take a bright golfing model or tie strips of colored insulating tape around your handle. To avoid the nuisance of forever forgetting umbrellas and leaving them behind in banks and post offices, do what the canny villager does. Tuck the hook of the handle down the back of your collar. You may not look elegant but at least you'll stay dry.
Luxurious it may sound, but for answering the call of nature in wildness areas, nothing can beat a can of moisturized scented tissues. These are available at chemists in the bigger towns. Being moist they serve better than toilet paper in extreme situations, such as Ladakh or Jaisalmer. To be able to choose your own fragrance in unfavorable circumstance is another. (Eau de Cologne never smells better than in the heart of a desert at 15,000 ft nor lavender in the middle of the Pushkar camel fair.)

Riding your fatbike on ice just got even better with the redesigned Dillinger tread pattern and tubeless compatibility. 240 carefully positioned studs allow you to rail icy off-camber singletrack with confidence and control, while taller side lugs bring improved cornering in snowy conditions. Dillinger's center tread is tightly spaced for speed when you need it so you can power up an icy climb and rip down the other side as the studs claw into the slick surface.

Oct 2010Handgun deer hunting
October 1st, 2010
Hey all thought I would ask if there are any handgun hunters here? My question, looking for load suggestions for deer hunting using a 357 magnum? I will be using my 357 magnum ( 6 1/2″ revolver) for deer hunting this season. Some say that the load is too light for deer but the longest shots would be 45 yards at best, and my red dot scope does well out at that range.
Looking for load suggestions,

Sixty-two percent of health care executives responsible for making investments in and managing facilities expect to make new capital investments in energy efficiencies during the next year, according to a recent survey.
The percentage of those planning new energy efficiency investments in health care is 10 points higher compared with survey respondents across multiple industry sectors. Milwaukee-based Johnson Controls, which sells a range of facilities management technologies and services, commissioned the survey in March, polling 2,882 executives across industry sectors worldwide.
Seventeen percent of 288 North American health care survey respondents have implemented personal computer and information technology power management systems during the past year, according to the survey.
Other energy efficiencies undertaken during that time include installing energy efficient lighting (73 percent), adjusting heating and air conditioning systems to reduce run time (57 percent), upgrading building automation systems (56 percent), replacing inefficient equipment before the end of its useful life (41 percent) and installing energy efficient windows (23 percent).

It's amazing how much farther you can see when you get up high. But just because you can see more doesn't mean you'll like the view.
I was on a ridgeline 800 feet above my camp when the source of the diaphanous haze that flowed around the ridge top came into sharp focus. It was a small but heavily involved wildfire working its way up a hillside three ridges south of me. Underbrush and standing timber were all burning briskly and through the foreshortened view provided by my 10-power binoculars, the blaze seemed remarkably close.
The fire was a surprise to me. I'd searched carefully for a spot well removed from the many fires burning in the Oregon Cascades, and thought I'd actually found a place I could hunt deer without choking through smoke or worrying about a fire itself. It hadn't shown up on fire maps the day before and I hadn't noticed any indications when I'd driven in. But there it was and though the wind was negligible, it seemed to be feeding greedily up the hillside toward me.
I don't want to be melodramatic here. I was more than a mile away, there was no wind and no involvement by either firefighters or Forest Service aircraft, leading me to believe the fire was not a threat to expand in any direction.
There was almost certainly no risk to me but I had a couple of small concerns: First, the road I'd driven on my way in passed considerably closer to the fire than my present location. Second, there was no other way out. A large tree had fallen across the road a few hundred yards past my camp and without a chainsaw I had no chance of driving out in that direction.
So, although I was safe where I was, my ability to actually depart the area was somewhat less certain. If the fire reached my escape route I'd have to reverse course, get my vehicle as far from the fire as possible and then think about walking out. Even this was not a major issue; the fallen tree was no impediment except to the vehicle, so I could hike on Forest Service roads for 30 miles or so to civilization. No problem.
Well, there was a minor problem, which was this: I'd never been near a forest fire before and I was just slightly uncomfortable. Not that I was afraid, you understand, just a titch north of concerned. Because I might have been wrong about the number of ridges between the fire and me. Maybe there were only two, not three, and maybe the canyon between them was very shallow. And maybe the timber between us was particularly dry. And maybe the wind would pick up.
Intellectually, I knew I was safe. But intellectual musings weren't much help. There's something visceral about wildfire, even through 10-power glasses and even two ridges away. Plus, I was still 800 feet above my camp. I felt some urgency to return, pack up and to be perfectly frank, get the hell out.
So I turned my sights downhill and took a direct path back, covering in less than two hours a trip that had taken me more than five hours on the way up. My camp was packed in record time and I headed down the road. The return trip was uneventful, and somewhat deflating. I never even saw the fire on my way out.
No problem. I knew there was no danger. Knew it. And yet … it might be a while before I hunt the High Cascades again while fires are burning.
Correction: In my last column, I mistakenly identified pikas as rodents. They are not. They are lagomorphs, close cousins to rabbits. I compounded the mistake by stating that mountain beavers were related to rabbits. They are not. They are rodents. Not my best work. Sorry.

35 weeks pregnant
Your child resembles a newborn baby, who is still a bit smaller. But all the time your child is gaining adipose tissue.
Your Baby
Now the movements of ababy may be more rare than earlier. The reason is the size of the child, who doesn't have enough space to move. At the moment the length reaches almost 20 in. The child may weigh even 250 g more per week. Moreover, sleep takes around 95% per 24 hours.
Research shows that children prefer to listen to calm music with rhythm resembling mother's heart beating. It soothes them and makes they feel safe. They can benefit from listening to this kind of music, since at this stage, the brain is still developing. Extra stimuli influence development in a positive way.
Guidelines for Mother
Your belly is very high what causes digestive and breathing problems. You may feel dyspnea, because the baby squeezes the lungs. In addition, you can fell a backache and have swollen legs. If you tend to this kind of problems, you should change the position and lie with your legs lifted up.
If you suffer from the heartburn and other problems, associated with the gastrointestinal track, you should follow an appropriate diet. You ought to avoid such products as brown loaf, sauce, sweets, spicy dishes, sparkling water and yeast.
Sometimes thoughts about delivery cause that women fell anxiety and have mood swings.
Some of them worry about health condition of the baby. There are also many pregnant women who have been dreaming about a child for a long time and now they are afraid that they won't be able to deal with a newborn baby. This kind of fear frequently appears when you are pregnant for the first time. If you have children, you know that taking care of a baby requires good organization, because it is not only a great happiness but also a great challenge.

As we work on recovering from our holiday sweets overdoses, one of the ways we can get our little chefs off the stocking stuffers is by packing them healthy lunches to bring to school. While sandwiches can be filling, they can also get pretty boring day after day. Here are a few ideas to change things up for the new year, while still keeping your little chef's lunches healthy and satisfying.
That's a Wrap
Bread can be one of the largest contributors to our consumption of sugar, even those that are whole wheat or whole grain. To cut down on these sugars and add variety to your little chef's lunchbox, consider making wraps instead. Tortillas come in a range of flavors, from whole wheat to sun-dried tomato, and they can often be filled with many of the same ingredients. Turkey and ham slices work well with slices of cheddar or Swiss cheese, and a few leaves of spinach provides an important boost of vitamins and minerals. Your little chef can select his or her condiment to vary the flavors from day to day: honey mustard on Mondays, mayo on Thursdays, and jelly on Fridays. If you want to go veggie, you can fill the wrap with carrots sticks, lettuce, red peppers, cucumber and hummus. Some days you can cut the wrap in half on a diagonal (a la your favorite sandwich shops) while other days you may want to cut them into inch-thick coins. Making the wraps look different will help your little chef feel like they're eating something new and exciting every day.
Be an Ant-Eater
Sodium is another constant creeper in our foods that we try to eliminate. If you would like to cut back on chips in your little chef's lunches, try other foods that still provide a crunch in her lunch, without the salt and fats. Ants On A Log is a classic snack staple, but there are other varieties to the standard celery-peanut butter-raisin combo. Your little chef may prefer celery-hummus-raisins or celery-peanut butter-craisins. Using organic peanut butter will cut down on the added preservatives and sugars. If your little chef detests celery, consider using large bell pepper slices instead.
Sweet Berry
It's human nature to want something a little sweet at the end of a meal. Our taste buds like to send a reward message to our brains in the form of something sugary. However, we also know not all sources of sugar are equal. Processed sugars are not good for our bodies as those complex sugars that occur naturally in fruits. You can satisfy your little chef's sweet tooth by packing a berry mix or homemade fruit roll ups. If your little chef has a thermos, you can also make smoothies with fresh fruits and Nutella as a special surprise. Another option is to make rolled oat granola bars with chunks of dark chocolate in them. These can be made in big batches, so extras can be frozen and stored for other times.
Drink To That
The healthiest drink for your little chef is also the simplest: water. If you want to spruce up your little chef's water, try various ways of flavoring water naturally. You can infuse mint or cucumber, or you can make flavored ice cubes that will slowly melt into to the water during the day. But of course there are days when he may want something different, like juice. Unfortunately, many kinds of store-bought juices are loaded with unnecessary sugars. You can take control over the amount of sugar in your little chef's juice by actually making the juice yourself. Fresh squeezed orange juice is an easy option, as is fresh squeezed lemonade. Pour these drinks into your little chef's favorite water bottle, toss a fun straw into her lunchbox, and you will get a big squeeze at the end of the day.

Nosound return in September 2016 with their fifth studio album Scintilla. It ends three years of since the release of 2013's Afterthoughts. The album is rounded off with guest appearances by Anathema singer Vincent Cavannagh and Italian singer Andrea Chimenti. Cellist Marianne De Chastelaine returns once again for the new album.
Scintilla contains the hallmarks for which Nosound are known for; dream-laden audio landscapes with a mixture of fine rock and melancholy as demonstrated by Emily. It is also one of the few songs which highlight the contribution of Marianne De Chastelaine and impact her instrument and playing has on the atmospherics.
The music in general sounds effortless and works through passages with little to no effort. As if Giancarlo Erra is the vessel by which the music passes into existence. In Celebration of Life and The Perfect Wife, featuring Anathema's Vincent Cavannagh, touch more onto the band's Pink Floyd influence. It strikes a little close to the source material but are both superbly performed with Cavannagh contributing a thoughtful and excellent display.
The first half of the album is perhaps the weakest portion of the album. Last Lunch, a good song in its own right, robs the album of its well-roundedness. Its unforced delivery and length sitting like the cruise liner amongst the yachts, with leading single Short Story and Little Man being much shorter. Its a small but noticeable oversight given the rest of the album seems well adjusted to an effortless delivery and seems peculiarly out of place and not at the same time.
Scintilla is a fine album with some excellent and complimentary guest singing appearances, with In Celebration of Life being the stand out of three main songs. With Sogno e Incendio, the sole Italian worded song on the album, being a very close second. Fans of the ambient and progressive rock, which is easy to listen to will find much to enjoy from Nosound as finer examples of this type of rock.
Where to buy :
Track Listing :
- Short Story
- Last Lunch

Leadership skills are not for granted,we believe that we need to be trained to be good leaders of God's people. This September 24, we had an amazing training for cell leaders. We are being trained to be servant leaders as our Lord Jesus was with his disciples. Understanding GBU ministry and what is a small group of bible study (cell) in GBU are the topics covored.
We have come to understanding vision and mission of this ministry, for cell leaders this is the best way to know where to take their cells and how to work together to achieve that vision which is namely to produce an agent of Godly transformation at the end of the day.
We have also discovered what is a small group (cell) in GBU, mainly a group of 6 to 10 persons for a further understanding of the word of God, each and every member participating actively in the process.

(PARMA, Ohio) -- Marine Jon Trommer, adorned in his dress blues, surprised his girlfriend, Mandy Wehe, on the snow-covered doorstep of her parents' home to pop the question.
She had no idea he was home from being stationed at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in California, let alone with a diamond ring.
"With my unit, we only get vacation or leave twice a year," Trommer, 22, told ABC News. "They usually tell us a few months in advance."
He believed he would have time off to get home in January, but "then we got word from our command that we can come home earlier," said Trommer. So he used the unexpected good news to his advantage for the surprise proposal.
"Her siblings and her parents knew, everyone except her," he said.
The lovebirds had arranged to have a Facetime date at noon, as they often do to appease their long-distance relationship.
"I wanted to make sure she was ready enough," said Trommer, who had hired a professional photographer to capture the big moment. "I didn't want to come to her house and have her not be there so I said, 'For our Facetime date, let's get dressed up really nice and do something fun,' and she's like, 'OK.'"
He flew home the night before with the ring in his backpack, nervous to travel with it. As he arrived at her parents' house in Parma, Ohio, Wehe, 29, almost didn't open the door, but her sister insisted.
"She didn't want to answer the door and of course her sister knows it's me," Trommer recalled.
As Wehe locked eyes with her soon-to-be-groom, she got weak in the knees before running outside barefoot in the snow to reply, "Yes," said Trommer.
"It went really smoothly," a relieved Trommer said. "It was so hard to keep the secret from her."
The happy couple plan to wed on Aug. 12 at American Wilderness Campground in Grafton, Ohio.

text: Our toddler rooms are designed for children ages 15 to 36 months. The rooms are very bright and cheery and contain educational decorations and toddler artwork. The toddlers are given adequate "free play" to express their own individuality and learn from their peers. We have a young toddler room for our one year olds and an old toddler room for our two and young three year olds. Toddlers are invited to participate in circle time, exercises, arts and crafts, and games. At this age, participation in such activities are encouraged but always optional. In early morning and late afternoon, our toddlers are combined in one classroom to allow for peer interaction. Weather permitting, the children play outdoors daily. We also take them for walks. The toddler tuition rates are based on age and not by classroom placement. Our classroom placement is based on development and not always age, so we often keep our young two year olds in our one year old classroom, and our young three year olds in our two year old classroom.

Increasingly, the engineering sector across the board has been suffering from a shortage of skilled engineers and technicians coming into the industry. This has been exacerbated by the well- documented ageing workforce problem in the engineering sector. Larger companies, such as Bentley, BMW Mini, Jaguar Land Rover, and many others are able to attract a large number of high quality applicants due to the attraction of their brand and success of their product and manufacturing facilities. Many suppliers to these well-known brands find it harder to attract candidates for their vacancies and apprenticeships.
For any organisation wishing to recruit, the time commitment, processes and HR support – and therefore investment – can also present a challenge. It can take months to find the right candidate – if they are found at all, which can leave businesses unable to build their current and future workforces.
As a result;
The solution
The Automotive Apprenticeship Matching Service was established by the Automotive Industrial Partnership (IAP) www.automotiveip.co.uk to help develop a skilled workforce for the future.
The aim is to redirect high quality talent from over-subscribed automotive apprenticeship programmes to other companies within the sector that have similar opportunities.
By actively working with both employers and candidates, our mission is to ensure that talent is harnessed and retained within the automotive and engineering industry. We do this through our dedicated team; working with businesses to help guide them through the wide range of high quality programmes and providers as well as supporting their specific recruitment needs.
The Process
We are a social enterprise and must be able to demonstrate positive social impact as a result of our work. Here are the benefits we aim to achieve,
Increase skills and future talent for UK engineering
Reduce supply chain recruitment costs and HR resource demands
Greater cross-industry collaboration and stronger links with supply chain
Retain talent within the automotive & engineering sector
Maximise career opportunities for young people
Streamline and improve candidates' experiences
Create a self-sustaining system with potential to benefit wider skills priority areas
Benefits to employers of apprentices
Employers should be able to recruit an apprentice easily and with confidence. We are here to make that process as simple and effective as possible. We will support every step of the way, from job description, to choice of programme, recruitment of the best candidates and guidance during the apprenticeship programme.
Save time – time frame reduced due to our well refined recruitment process and easily searchable database of potential engineering apprentices.
Easier – Consultation and advice on taking on an apprentice and choosing the correct training programme and provider
Quality applicants – Access to high calibre of applicant through the matching service.

The company has refused to give details about whether the event will address reception problems that some users have reported with the phone, launched just last month. Apple has faced mounting criticism from analysts and consumers over its handling of the issue.

In recent years, the eternal topic of aging and the concern that people have around this natural process has gained increased attention from the media, entrepreneurs, and scientists. This topic was even included in the HBO TV series "Silicon Valley," where one of the characters undergoes a blood transfusion from a younger individual to replace their "old" blood with new blood full of youthful energy. While, this might only seem like a work of fiction, a startup called Ambrosia is actually offering these "young blood" transfusions at $8,000 each. In fact, during the past five years, a number of companies and projects have emerged intending to battle the process of aging. For instance, an Alphabet subsidiary, called Calico, intends to use biotechnology to understand aging-related health conditions and develop "interventions that enable people to lead longer and healthier lives."

A Taxonomy for Innovation in Sleep
Last month, Fitbit unveiled its new smart watch, the Fitbit Iconic. The company plans to utilize the device's new blood oxygen saturation sensors (relative SpO2) for sleep apnea diagnosis. For Fitbit, the new functionality in the Iconic is a natural progression from its previous work; but from a broader perspective, Fitbit's recent innovation represents yet another data point of a bigger story: sleep is hot. Today, sleep has already become widely accepted as a primary pillar of wellness (even the Apple Health Kit will vouch for this), and sleep tracking has become ubiquitous in consumer wellness solutions; yet recently we've witnessed an uptick in innovation of sleep-specific solutions. Below, we use Lux's Tech Signal to uncover spikes in interest in sleep innovation, which primarily took off in 2013:
Release of EU Sugar Quota: A Sweet Opportunity for First-Generation Sugar Users
On September 30, 2017, the European Union's sugar quota system will be abolished to allow greater market orientation among European sugar producers. The sugar quota system was established in 1968 to set a price floor, production limits, and import limits to insulate European sugar producers and end-users from price volatility on the global sugar market. With the abolishment next month, sugar producers will be able to ramp up production and exports, resulting in a variety of implications for downstream industries. Continue reading
Closing the Loop on Diabetes Care: Focusing on the Value-To-Price Ratio for Success
Diabetes has long been an epidemic, but with increasing prevalence and rising cost, solving for the condition is now more pressing than ever. Patient empowerment and self-care have been deemed the keys to effective diabetes management, however gaps in education and ability exist. Developers—big and small—are buying into the self-care idea and are using digital to deliver on this vision. There are four primary pillars to diabetes management: blood glucose monitoring, diet, physical activity, and insulin delivery. Most hype has been dedicated to the revolutionary "artificial pancreas," or closed-loop insulin delivery system, which automates insulin therapy. Yet, in most other aspects of diabetes management (e.g. physical activity and nutrition, which also apply to diabetics not dependent on insulin therapy), the patient cannot be fully taken out of the equation. Still, innovation is reshaping all four primary aspects of diabetes management, and while solutions other than the "artificial pancreas" still require human intervention, they do address some aspects of the feedback loop, ultimately equipping the patient with the education and means to self-manage their own condition. Our analysis reveals that select solutions – for example, genetics and microbiome-based food recommendation engines – hold an especially big promise, as they address multiple aspects of the feedback loop and come at a reasonable price. Readers should look to invest in high-value solutions that come at a reasonable price while approaching solutions that provide a fairly small value-to-price ratio with caution. In cases where a solution is lacking, readers should look to marry two or more existing solutions deemed complementary by the "flow of data in diabetes feedback loops" framework, which we establish by building on Lux's IoT system data flow framework.

What GMO Crops Can Learn From Papaya
What do bananas, citrus, coffee, and cocoa have in common? A few things actually, all of these crops are huge contributors to the global agriculture, food, and beverage industries, they are primarily grown in developing countries, each crop faces impending threats of disease and environmental stress, and all of these crops could learn a few things from the papaya.
Farmers have always selectively bred their crops for the most desirable and hearty traits. This process used to take years even decades to yield genetically superior fruits and vegetables, but now just when the technology and the need have reached a tipping point – the tide of public opinion has squelched the ability of farmers and geneticists to save their crops.
What can other crops learn from Papaya? Continue reading
The Value of Biometrics in the Health Space
Biometrics are gaining in popularity, from the standardization of fingerprint sensors in smartphones, to use of facial recognition in airports. While the hype today is in those two markets, there is still a lot of interest and activity in other spaces including the health sector. In the health sector, biometrics add new valuable use cases including improving identification of the patient, which leads to better access control, better clinical trial studies, and improved medication adherence. Below we go into depth of these three use cases to show the value of biometrics in the health space. Continue reading
Governments Take a Stance on Telehealth
Telehealth regulation has become a trending topic since U.S. legislators introduced the Medicare Telehealth Parity Act of 2017, but internationally, governments are taking mixed positions on regulation. Telehealth has grown in the past decade into a global industry that extends care across borders, and is driving innovation in areas like triage and disease management. Yet despite its proliferation, national policy remains disjointed and poses a major hurdle across the industry. Continue reading

Blockchain in Health: A Survey of Emerging Use Cases
Earlier this week, healthcare IT firm Change Healthcare became the newest member of the Hashed Health Blockchain Consortium, a distributed ledger consortium whose goal is to advance the use of blockchain protocols in healthcare. The expansion of this group and the quest for the establishment of standards for implementation of blockchain in healthcare are not surprising – the last year has witnessed a sharp uptick in developers looking to bring blockchain to the industry. However, while the number of companies starting to apply blockchain – a distributed ledger technology that claims to offer several benefits over traditional databases, such as improved trustworthiness and automated smart contracts – to healthcare is growing, and while there certainly is a lot of hype surrounding this activity, there still remains confusion on the specific challenges these companies are looking to tackle and on the value they promise to deliver. In the table below, we synthesize currently sought-after use cases for blockchain in health, outline tech developers' claims, and highlight players in each solution category.
Replacing Sugar: More Than Just Sweet
Reducing and substituting for sucrose has been the heartache of food and beverage companies for the past few decades. There are many products trying to do what sugar does, but landing slightly left of ideal, at best. Sugar possesses unique properties in combination that are difficult to replicate with just one product. We have grouped sugar substitutes into categories of origin. Each replacement category includes a variety of options for sweeteners and comes with its own advantages and disadvantages. Continue reading

CHICAGO -- It was a morning of cancellations and delays for those traveling to and from southeast Texas due to Hurricane Harvey.
The major airlines like United, American and Southwest are citing 10 different airports that are affected in major cities like Houston, San Antonio, Corpus Christie and even parts of Louisiana.
But there were those who managed to get out of dodge.
"They were telling some people to leave. Telling them to be ready to leave. Be ready to evacuate. It was kind of scary," Soraya Hovell, who was returning from San Antonio, said.
Hovell managed to get on an early morning flight out of San Antonio, after spending two weeks there, visiting her mother.
"I was just trying to get ahead of the storm. If I can get on the flight and get home, I will be okay," she said.
That flight, full of turbulence for the first 45 minutes, as her pilot worked to get above harvey's fierce winds and rains.
"I've never been scared because of a storm, but I was a little scared this time because of the wind and the news and them saying what we needed to prepare for," Hovell said.
"They're running out of gas. I went to the gas station with my fiancé last night and I tried to get premium. They didn't have it. I tried to get mid grade, they didn't have it so I went to another and it was the same thing," Rubye Coleman said.
Coleman was on that same flight.
The Chicago native is now stationed in San Antonio, came home to visit family and said hurricanes are not something she's used to.
"Now I'm more concerned about returning since San Antonio area is going to be effected Monday, Tuesday," Coleman said.
"It was coming down really hard rain. Sheets of rain from up in the air, in the airport too, it was just pounding on the roof of the airport," Robert Sawyers, who was flying in from Houston, said.
Sawyers was returning from brazil and had a layover in Houston. He said he was glad to know he made to Chicago, on-time at that.
"I was thinking I was going to be stuck in Houston for days," he said.
Many major airline are waiving those change fees as well as those fare differences for anyone effected by the hurricane.
Many airlines are offering these amended policies through Tuesday.

Pasta and Vegetable Frittata
How to Make It
Preheat oven to 425ºF. Warm oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and zucchini; cook for 2 minutes, stirring. Add garlic, tomato and spinach and cook 2 minutes longer, stirring, until spinach wilts. Season with salt and pepper. Toss in spaghetti and mix thoroughly so vegetables and pasta are evenly distributed.
Whisk milk, 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper with eggs. Pour into skillet and swirl to coat vegetables and spaghetti with mixture. Cook 1 minute, stirring just until eggs begin to set on bottom. Sprinkle cheeses on top and place skillet in oven. Bake until eggs have set in center, 10 to 12 minutes. Preheat broiler to high and set a rack 4 inches from heat. Broil frittata until golden brown on top, 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent it from burning. Sprinkle frittata with basil. Cut into 4 wedges and serve.

"A Handbag?!!" Notes on "Earnest"
Oscar Wilde was a glorious comet across the literary night sky of Victorian England. His parents were Anglo-Irish, but his mother wrote fiercely pro - Irish poetry ("The Famine Year") He was highly-educated and moved easily, wittily and flamboyantly through London society. He was a champion of the "Aesthetic Movement", a reaction to the Utilitarianism of the Industrial Age, and best summarized in the motto "Art for Art's Sake." Beauty is its own reason for being, and needs not be tied to moral or socio-political themes.
After "Lady Windermere's Fan" and "A Woman of No Importance", Wilde hit his comedic stride with "The Importance of Being Earnest". Unfortunately his triumph coincided with a scandal that took London by storm - the accusation by Lord Douglas, the Marquess of Queensbury, of Wilde's alleged seduction of Douglas' twenty one year old son.
The opening night audience of "Earnest" in 1895 was a "who's who" of the upper class and literati, yet, unfortunately, it marked the zenith of his illustrious rise. Although Lord Douglas, who threatened to assault the playwright with rotten vegetables, was turned away, the scandal grew over the following weeks. Society was embarrassed. Wilde's best play would close after 86 performances; he would be dragged through a humiliating trial for his homosexuality, sent to prison ("The Ballad of Reading Gaol"), and die penniless in Paris within five years, at the age of 46. He is buried at Pere Lachaise.
There are many ways to explore Earnest. Beneath the razor wit, a "piece a clef" about secret relationships and double lives. An attack on the excesses of gentility. A full out expose of prevailing thought on fashion, marriage and aristocracy.
"The Importance of Being Earnest" is the work of an Irish rebel, a verbal swashbuckler battling Church, Society, Fashion, Elitism and Morality with the best de Bergerac panache. Join us. Reservations strongly suggested. - LD

One more week/
The best and only way to photograph a family is to choose a good spot and then follow. Other than the occasional indignantly barked order of NO TICKLING, NO GIGGLING, NO BUTT-DANCING or NO BELLY-POKING (which *always* gives you the tickling, giggling, butt-dancing, and belly-poking that you're looking for), there's nothing to pose, nothing to orchestrate.
Other than the occasional DON'T YOU DARE MAKE ME GO INTO THE WATER! (which *always* gets them into the water), I don't want them to look at me. I want them to look at each other. I want them to interact with the place and the moment as if I'm not there at all.
Change is cooking, sweet little muckabout kid. You jump on and cling more than usual. You know something's up.
Angus and Finn look up, shout, run over, check in. Always registering once again at the side of mama or dad with a Did you see that! or a Can I!? or just for a wipe and a sigh. It's a touching-in that we all get used to, kid and parent alike. Watching it in others makes me thoughtful. Will it end, or just change? Will there be a last time that one of mine climbs onto me? Will something, somewhere, notice it when I don't? Will I shake them off, looking at the clock, anxious to start supper?
Focus, Kate. He's a big kid. Get low.
To think! The sandy feet—those painted toes—of a scrambling, feisty girl began inside a round belly. This round belly. I photographed them three years ago, when Angus was inside. Now we're here again, sneaking a beach play in with just one week to go until baby three appears. It's a very pregnant moment, you know? Pregnant beyond a woman. It's a taut, bursting roundness and joy that's about all of us. Time slows for friends and loved ones watching anxiously from sidelines, and these days, time doesn't do that often. It only slides downhill and in blinks, decades passing on great big gulps while we're fussing over supper. That's why it's a pregnant moment. Everyone slows, watching and waiting.
One more week until a new human arrives. Marvels. And I get to play inside that slowed moment, all of them hanging on to each other, holding my camera high up over waves and salt.

REVIEW: Sabayon 6 (Xfce) and a look at my migration away from Gnome.
It's no secret that Gnome 3 (and Gnome-shell) are not being well received by everyone. Canonical is going with its Unity and for many other Gnome users, the future is Gnome-shell.
