Hey Everyone!
My foot is just too angry lol. I don't know why, but it is more sore now than when I first decided to go "skiing" or "make snow angels" lol. The bruising is subsiding, and soaking it in warm water/epsom salts seems to really really help so hopefully it will be better sooner than later!
Last night David I went to bed SUPER EARLY. I had planned to watch some t.v upstairs on the roku, but by the time I drank some sleepytime tea I was like never mind! This morning after David left I was never asleep again though so that sucked! I got up around 8 or so and focused on working on grits-reviews for most of the day.
I also took a early nap from 1-3. I swear I think I could have just kept sleeping and I really kind of hope we go to bed semi-early tonight as well. For some reason ever since I fell I have been EXTRA tired.I think my subconcious tries to protect my foot all night long or something!
David called me and told me he got a $1.50 raise per hour today, so I was PRETTY excited to hear that!! That's what $120 extra per check?? I am not a math whiz, so if not..well it's something like that before taxes lol.
I don't have a lot to write about today, just wanted to drop a few lines. Hopefully i'll come up with something awesome soonest!

It is always "rare" for me to take on projects involving print because it is not really my forte but the number of people requesting me to help them with their design needs urged me to step in and do something about it.
One afternoon, I was having coffee with Fr JM and we were discussing about the possibility of collaborating on a project for his ministry. They are taking little steps in terms of enhancing their marketing materials to let interested parties know about their mission and their vision. My job was to create a brochure design that will communicate and grab the attention of its readers without losing the very essence of the ministry.
Work: Layouting | Role: Layout Artist, Consultant
* * *
The concept of this project is to show the readers the ministry, give them an idea of what it is, and provide useful program information if they are interested to participate. I am not well versed with the rules of proper layouting but I do trust my eye on this.
Most of the images in the design were blended with the colors to give it that subtle effect.
This is the Front Page (technically the brochure cover page and back page, plus the inline page)
The Brochure's inline page. This is a tri-fold brochure.
Over all, the design is very simple, very straight forward, but it's not boring. The pastel colors did wonders on top of the dark blue and green overlays on the photos. Mind you, the folding part makes it even more interesting because of the connecting lines.
Well, that's just my opinion.

Thank you for making the Ipod so that my boyfriend and I can lay on my bed and listen to hundreds of songs. He has one ear phone and I have the other. I sing to him and he smiles. (Sometimes he laughs at my singing, it's okay I don't blame him. I would laugh to.) And sometimes he sings and I really smile because he has a great voice. You should hear him sing Elvis songs. But I really love when we are listening to one of "our songs" and we lock eyes. It's the simpleness of it all that melts my heart.

National Service would give young people a "good starting point in life", Dame Kelly Holmes has said, as she argues it would help instil responsibility and discipline.
Dame Kelly, the Olympic medal-winning athlete, said she supported bringing back National Service to help teenagers find themselves.
Speaking on Radio 4's Woman's Hour, in an episode she guest-edited, she argued young people must be challenged, admitting joining the army at 17 was the best thing she has ever done.
When asked why she advocated National Service, by broadcaster Dame Jenni Murray, the athlete said: "I think it's a number of things.
"I feel that every young person should find themselves, and I think they should be challenged. Life is a challenge. We fail a lot, we can achieve a lot; we strive every day to learn new things.
"I think that for me - although it's very controversial probably - with National Service, if young people are put into that environment where they're meeting people from all over the country and the world, they're having to be responsible, they have to have an element of discipline, I think that's a good starting point in life."
Dame Kelly, who won a gold medal for the 800m and 1500m events at the Athens Olympics, added she attributed her own success to the encouragement of her PE teacher, who convinced her she was "good at something".
"When I really believed that I could achieve something, I put everything into it," she said of her early days.
"When I was very young and at school, it was only my PE teacher who told me I was good at something.
"I was rubbish at everything else. Sitting in a classroom just wasn't me, and I think you'll find that with a lot of children these days.
"Going out on the playing field put me on a level playing field; I felt good about myself."
She went on to join the British Army aged 17, competing in military athletics events before committing to her Olympic bid full time.
"It's the best thing I've ever done," she said of her time in the Army. "It made me feel good about myself, but equally the discipline, the respect you have to have.
"You have to grow up so quickly, it was a really good grounding."
Dame Kelly was the second of five guest editors for BBC Woman's Hour, following a slot from author J K Rowling on Monday.
The rest of the week, set up in conjunction with the show's annual Power List, will see writer Naomi Alderman examine women in science and public speaking, Dame Doreen Lawrence discuss her role models and DJ Lauren Laverne on feminism.
The government currently offers a voluntary National Citizen Service for 16 and 17-year-olds, who can "develop a social action project to deal with a local issue they're passionate about, and spend 30 hours putting the project into action in their community".

In what was becoming a recurring pattern in my life, I was down in the dumps in January. But even by my standards, this was a bad time. So I headed out to the record store for sustenance.
When I put on
---------------- Now playing: Arcade Fire - In the Back Seat via FoxyTunes
I was expecting more from Rilo Kiley's "More Adventurous", but that happens sometimes. Jenny Lewis has a very pleasing voice, and writes good tunes, but the very dark lyrics provide too jarring a contrast. And the band is too intent on making a hit. Which is ironic given that the
---------------- Now playing: Rilo Kiley - It's a Hit via FoxyTunes
At my job, the closest thing we had to a compulsive liar was the guy who kept using phrases like "keeping it real" and "G-unit" and such. I thought he'd be impressed when I told him that I got a record by "Kane West". Never heard of him, he said. Then I put on my reading glasses I saw that it said Kanye. Not my coolest moment.
Well, even us lame fifty-year-olds can pronounce his name now, and not necessarily because of his music. Kanye West has a habit of saying asinine things. Isn't that the sign of genius? Kanye thinks so. But I quibble. Here's a great couplet from "We Don't Care" which is on The College Dropout:
"We weren't supposed to make it past twenty five
The jokes on you, we're still alive."
And good for him. This is a good record - funny, if a little too reliant on sampled and sped up vocals. But if you want to hear an entertaining rap record, this is not a bad place to start.
---------------- Now playing: Kanye West - We Don't Care via FoxyTunes
By now I was at an all-time low. I put the new records away, and took out Wilco's depressing, insular "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot". ---------------- Now playing: Wilco - Radio Cure via FoxyTunes When I got it the previous year, I listened and shrugged. Now it was all I could deal with, except at night when I'd put on Aphex Twin's "Select Ambient Works, Vol. II", which is about as low impact and alienated as you can get.
Father's Day:
The Shins' "Chutes Too Narrow" coincided with me getting over myself, and my job. Things were looking up, and James Mercer helped by writing at least two songs that are amongst the best of the decade. The rest of the record is energetic and tuneful and as tight as a drum.
---------------- Now playing: The Shins - Mine's Not a High Horse via FoxyTunes
After my daily replays of Aphex Twin, I wanted to revisit an old joy - Eno's "Another Green World", now on CD, would save me the trouble of getting my lazy ass off the couch to flip it over. Considered one of the first "ambient" records, it marks a halfway point between pretty but empty Pure Moods/Enya/New Age and austere to the point of comatose Aphex Twin. One of my all timers. I was feeling better now.
---------------- Now playing: Brian Eno - Everything Merges With the Night via FoxyTunes
Herbie Hancock's "Maiden Voyage" is a perfectly pleasant, if not very challenging, jazz record. No complaint here – it's good for company – but it's not going to make you a fanatic.
We used the excuse of my sons growing interest in the Beatles to pick up "For
"Magical Mystery Tour" is a so so Beatles record. In other word, it's not amongst their very best, but is still better than 98% of what's out there. Okay, so "Blue Jay Way" and "Flying" aren't great, but just about everything else on it is.
The Musical Heritage Society struck again with A Night at the Opera. Not a Marx Brothers soundtrack, but rather overtures from famous operas, done on acoustic guitars. No singing, thank god. Good for early mornings.
And what's a music collection without a record by Igor Stravinsky? How could I turn down the two CD "The Essential…"? Damn you, MHS! This is a great example something that was once not considered music at all, but that is now thought of as quite tame.
Overcoming my reluctance to buy records I've already heard big chunks of, I finally broke down at the bargain bin, and got The Grateful Dead's "Workingman's Dead". When your musical tastes go through a change, it's tempting to be dismissive of your earlier enthusiasms. But if anything, I'm even more impressed with this record now. I'd call this the seminal
---------------- Now playing: Grateful Dead - Black Peter via FoxyTunes
Mule Variations is my first Tom Waits record. What do you get by the man who's done everything? If you're lucky, a record that balances his weirdness and his songwriting. But really, what do I know? They may all be like this. The sound on this record is crystal clear, so there are no excuses for the cacophony. No apologies, either. More music to get rid of company with. Seriously, it's quite good. "Come on Up to the House" is the great one here.

For the longest time, I hated Bjork's "Post", but now I think she's been a victim of low volume, which happens to the music I play at home from time to time. I finally played this electronica extravaganza in my car, and began to notice the overall sound, which makes the band sound like an artillery division advancing on you. Which helps a lot when she starts to woop and holler in that Bjork way of hers. The bass could knock you over, by the way.

Buddy Guy is cited by just about every good white guitar player, so who am I to say no? And from the Musical Heritage Society no less! This one's "The Very Best of Buddy Guy". The guitar playing is so raw that you can feel his fingers on the strings. He sings good too.
---------------- Now playing: Buddy Guy - Man of Many Words via FoxyTunes
The Essential Bessie Smith - I suppose when you've heard one of these double entendres you've heard them all – sugar in my bowl, trombone cholly, do your duty - but why do I keep going back? Because Ms. Smith just won't be denied.
---------------- Now playing: Bessie Smith - Aggravatin' Papa via FoxyTunes
The Shins made such an impression over the summer that I jumped at "Oh, Inverted World", their first record. It's not as impressive as "Chutes", but that's partly because it's a bit slower and fuzzier. Once you give it a chance, though, the pretty tunes really catch up to you.
---------------- Now playing: The Shins - New Slang via FoxyTunes
The Streets
Time for another dip into what is arguably not hip hop. Like I'd know one way or the other. I find this Brit very funny and quite tuneful.
---------------- Now playing: The Streets - Dry Your Eyes via FoxyTunes
Husker Du
---------------- Now playing: Hüsker Dü - Powerline via FoxyTunes
Hank Williams Gold:
Like Neil Young and John Prine after him, Hank's songs are simple, but you can't get enough of them. One would think that two CDs is a lot to take in at one time, but in fact it goes by quite easily.
---------------- Now playing: Hank Williams - Cool Water via FoxyTunes
The Beatles simply don't count.
The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
The Streets - A Grand Don't Come for Free
Tom Waits - Mule Variations
Was the music really any better than any other year? No, but I was feeling better, so it just seems that way. So, there's a happy ending.
For now.

Student Ambassadors are students carefully selected by coaches at the end of the tournament season and have an active mandate of 1 year. Their responsibilities include helping coaches with logistics in terms of attending tournaments, being leaders within their BEST teams, and working on a series of projects dedicated to improving their community.
Selection process for 2017-2018 Student Ambassadors is outlined on this page.
Timeline (deadline for nomination – May 26)
- Coaches nominate 2 SAs to represent their team during the 2017-2018 tournament season – by May 26.
- SA selection is autonomous and entirely at the coach's discretion. It can be conducted in a number of ways such as: voting within the team, a structured application process, or directly nominated by coaches.
- After the coach has made their selection, they must nominate their selected SAs with an e-mail to BEST (firstname.lastname@example.com). The e-mail must include the students' names, grades, e-mails, as well as a reference letter from the coach explaining why they have selected those exact two students.
- When we receive the nominations from the coach we will contact them and the students with their first assignment – a survey so we can gauge the SAs' commitment and motivation for the program during the upcoming year.
- Students must be in grades 9 through 12 during the upcoming 2017-2018 tournament season.
- Students should have participated in at least one BEST tournament to date.
- We recommend that you pick students who have not been SAs previously, but understand that finding suitable students might be difficult, so it is allowed for a student to have been an Ambassador over a previous tournament season
Desirable SA qualities
- Hard-working, devoted, committed
- Responsible, proactive, willing to lead and be held accountable
- Motivation to work for their local community and the global BEST community
- Vivid interest in BEST outside tournament activities
- Creative, organized, adept at problem-solving
- Willing to commit to multiple projects throughout the year
We're looking forward to receiving coaches' nominations until the deadline on May 26!

Availability: Semester module, Autumn
Course Prerequisite: MAT912
Credit Value: 22 (I module)
To provide techniques for the solution of some differential equations, to extend the theory of differential calculus to functions of more than one variable, to consider the approximation of arbitrary functions by polynomials, and to develop an understanding of infinite series. To acquaint students with the theory of probability, to illustrate some of its applications to solve real world problems, and to demonstrate its relevance to statistical analysis.
Students should be able to differentiate functions of several variables, solve certain types of differential equations, obtain Taylor approximations of arbitrary functions, and determine whether infinite series converge or diverge; use counting techniques, calculate basic and conditional probability; derive the mean and variance for a range of discrete and continuous distributions, use these distributions in real-life situations; and understand and implement simple hypothesis tests and confidence intervals.
A1: Optimisation, solution of differential equations
A2: Partial differentiation
A3: Taylor's theorem - the approximation of functions by polynomials; sequences and series; Taylor series
B1: Basic probability, conditional probability, random variables
B2: Probability models using the binomial, Poisson, exponential and normal distributions
