New York, NY, December 10, 2014 – AdTheorent, Inc. has been named a Gold winner in Best New Product Feature of the Year category in Best in Biz Awards 2014, the only independent business awards program judged by members of the press and industry analysts.
AdTheorent was recognized for its Big Data-driven predictive advertising engine, the Real-Time Learning Machine™ (RTLM). AdTheorent's RTLM has made it possible for marketers to use predictive mobile advertising to reach their target consumers. RTLM uses a unique high-speed data enrichment process and advanced predictive targeting software to assess the conversion potential of each mobile ad impression, which AdTheorent uses, in real time, to deliver the right ad to the right person, at the right time. AdTheorent's RTLM doesn't target individuals based on past behavior or otherwise engage in privacy-threatening behavioral targeting; rather, using anonymous and aggregated statistics, it predicts future engagement outcomes. Additionally, RTLM ingests vast amounts of data to improve its predictive capabilities in real time. No other modeling methods are able to match the number of variables, record size and speed handled by AdTheorent's RTLM – which consistently performs over three-times better than industry averages in key metrics.
"AdTheorent's RTLM delivers increased engagement for brands and advertisers and helps inform media buying," said Anthony Iacovone, CEO and Co-Founder of AdTheorent. "Predictive is the future of targeting in mobile advertising and we are so pleased to win a Gold Best in Biz award for this groundbreaking solution."
Best in Biz Awards' fourth annual North American program was its most competitive yet. As in previous years, the fourth annual program in North America featured a large and distinguished judging panel comprised of members of the media who reviewed and scored the hundreds of award nominations. More than 550 award nominations were received this year in a variety of company, executive, team, and product focused categories.

Andrew Britt realiza doutorado em história da América Latina na Emory University, em Atlanta, Georgia, EUA. Os seus interesses principais são Brasil moderno, história espacial, e estudos comparativos de identificação étnica. A sua tese examina o desenvolvimento material e cultural de três bairros étnicos na cidade de São Paulo na metade do século XX: Brasilândia, Liberdade e Bixiga. O projeto de pesquisa para a tese é apoiado pelos programas Fulbright-Hays e Social Science Research Council. Ele participa dos grupos de pesquisa CAPPH e HÍMACO, na UNIFESP.
My dissertation examines the making of space and race/ethnicity in three prominent neighborhoods in the city of São Paulo, Brazil's multicultural megalopolis. The project combines conventional archival approaches with less common methods, such as historical GIS. I completed comprehensive exams in Modern Latin America, Colonial Latin America, and the Atlantic World. Some of my current thematic interests that cross those three areas of inquiry include spatial history, race and ethnicity, and Brazil in a global context. I moonlight as a web developer (front end) and incorporate various digital methods in my research, teaching, and the dissemination of my findings. Examples include a project on the history of two Atlanta neighborhoods, English Avenue and Vine City, a site profiling migrant stories produced by the "Hitchhiking the Atlantic" class I taught in the spring of 2015, and a site (in development) on the history of Brasilânida in São Paulo.
My research has been supported by the Social Science Research Council Mellon International Dissertation Research Fellowship, the Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Fellowship, the Brazilian Studies Association's Brazil Initiation Scholarship, a FLAS grant from the U.S. Department of Education, and Emory University's Professional Development Support Funds.

FOOTBALL: Star recruits will be out in force at PKCFootball  |
DETROIT - This week's 10th-annual Detroit Sports Commission Prep Kickoff Classic will be a treasure trove of riches for college football recruiting fans.
There are 18 Division I-commits and several more top-grade prospects garnering Division I interest set to be on hand on the eight-game slate (Thursday thru Saturday) being held for the third year in a row down at Wayne State's Adams Field.
Those in attendance to tip things off Thursday will get a small taste of the coming deluge of star-studded recruits expected to be on hand Friday and Saturday. West Bloomfield's Eddy Wilson, a big and athletic defensive lineman committed to Bowling Green and Dearborn Fordson's Jamil Sabbaugh (safety) and Abdlallah Jaffal (linebacker), committed to Ball State and Central Michigan, respectively, will all be suiting up for battle.
Wilson's West Bloomfield club opens the entire event at 1:00 p.m. against Dearborn, followed by Sabbagh, Jaffal and their Fordson squad squaring off with Temperance Bedford at 4:00 p.m.
The 4:00 p.m. game on Friday pitting Orchard Lake St. Mary's and Southfield and then the 7:00 p.m. nightcap between Detroit Cass Tech and Oak Park, features a cavalcade of elite prospects across the state's senior, junior and sophomore classes.
St. Mary's, coming off a rare missed-playoff berth last season, is captained by Michigan State-commit Tyson Smith, a fast and strong cornerback that also plays wide receiver. Sophomore linebacker Josh Ross might be the best player in his class and sophomore slot receiver K.J. Hamler has already picked up a scholarship offer from Michigan State without ever playing a varsity snap.
Southfield boasts possibly the most lethal secondary in the entire MHSAA. The Bluejays start a Division I-commit at every position in their defensive backfield. Minnesota-commit Ray Buford and Central Michigan-commit Jamar Antwine, are both lock-down talents at cornerback, while Wake Forest-bound Dior Johnson and Western Michigan-bound Davontae Ginwright are as deadly and diverse as any pair of safeties in the state.
Buford, Johnson and Antwine excel on the offensive side of the ball as well as wide receivers. After missing last fall with an injury, junior tailback Matt Falcon had a huge offseason and is being hailed by some scouts as the state's top rushing threat on the recruiting trail for 2016.
Defending Detroit PSL champ, Cass Tech is once again loaded, even with all-state senior quarterback Jayru Campbell on the shelf until at least September serving a jail sentence for assault.
Cass Tech running back and Michigan-commit Mike Weber is considered by many experts the best overall player in the state. Senior defensive end Josh Alabi is the state's top recruit at his position and is committed to Ohio State and senior linebacker Mike Oliver is committed to Central Michigan.
Juniors LaVert Hill (defensive back) and Mike Onwenu (offensive lineman) are both highly thought of on the national recruiting landscape, as is sophomore wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones.
Facing the stacked Cass Tech club on Friday, Oak Park will unleash its own contingent of high-grade talent, led by heavily-sought running back Johnny Kelly, Western Michigan-commit Junior McMullen (linebacker) and Central Michigan-commit Shahid Bellamy (defensive lineman).
On Saturday, fans will be treated to the state's No. 1 quarterback, as Birmingham Brother Rice and all-state senior field general and Michigan-commit Alex Malzone, begins its quest for a fourth-straight state crown (Division 2) against its namesake in the Windy City, Chicago Brother Rice, unveiling the Dave Sofran era (replacing the state's all-time winningest head coach Al Fracassa after more than 40 years at the helm) in the process. Malzone has a pair of speedy and reliable receivers he'll be throwing to this year in Western Michigan-commit Delano Madison and Division I- recruit Grant Perry.
Chicago Brother Rice's attack is spearheaded by Northern Illinois-commit Marcus Jones (running back).
The interstate Brother Rice-Brother Rice clash will bring the curtain down on the 2014 PKC at 2:00 p.m.
Detroit East English Village Prep and Lansing Sexton will get things started on Saturday at 11:00 a.m. in a game that will showcase EEV's Anton Curtis and Emani Mason and Sexton's Rayshawn Wilborn. Curtis (Western Michigan) and Wilborn (Central Michigan) are both rangy, playmaking wide receivers. Only a sophomore, Mason (offensive lineman) is being projected as the best prospect on the line in the state's Class of 2017.

LOS ANGELES --Inspectors from the Los Angeles City Fire Department are trying to figure out what caused a high-voltage fire at a downtown Department of Water and Power facility on Friday.The fire was reported just after 10 a.m. on North Main Street and was near several large transformers. However, the DWP says the fire did not trigger any power outages.
Fire officials said it was a receiving station and not a distribution station.
It took 40 firefighters about 25 minutes to put out the flames, and a hazardous materials team stood by as a precaution.
No injuries were reported from the incident.

Esperanza is fourteen when her life of El Rancho de las Rosas changes forever, as tragedy befalls her family. The story follows the riches-to-rags formula and readers follow Esperanza and her mother Ramona as they travel from Aguascalientes to the United States to work on a farm and live in a migrant camp. At first, Esperanza is not entirely a likable character -- she is not used to work, and doesn't even know how to sweep a floor, and this is one reason why I love the book: the protagonist is not immediately 100% likeable. The reader grows to like her though as her attitude shifts, and Esperanza (like the phoenix) learns to work, and encounters strikes and battles over the ideas and interacts with characters who are good, bad, and morally ambiguous. Perhaps another wonderful thing I should mention is the idea of moral ambiguity. When characters actively acknowledge the fact that there are sometimes no right/wrong side to issues, I find it quite refreshing (in YA lit most of all, perhaps because it's less of a trope in younger-person literature). In the end, Esperanza is able to be a working part of her new loving community, and has truly risen from the ashes.
The book covers such topics as the death of a parent, a parent with depression, migrant workers' historical conditions, strikes, poverty, and social justice.
The biggest impression the book made on me actually came from the author's note at the end of the book, believe it or not. I'm going to quote it at length. While the notes are speaking of the historical context of the book, I found myself saying to myself "Just like today" time and time again as I listened to the audiobook portion of the notes. Bolded sections are bolded by me, not the author.
"During the early 1930's there were many strikes in the California agricultural fields. Often, growers evicted the strikers from their labor camps, forcing many to live together in makeshift refugee camps, sometimes on farms on the outskirts of towns. The growers were powerful and could sometimes influence local governments. In Kings County, sheriffs arrested picketers for obstructing traffic, even though the roads were deserted. In Kings County, one Mexican man was arrested for speaking to a crowd in Spanish. Sometimes the strikes failed, especially in areas that were flooded with people from states like Oklahoma, who were desperate for work at any wage. In other instances, the strong voices of many people changed some of the pitiful conditions.
The Mexican Repatriation was very real and an often overlooked part of our history. In March of 1929, the federal government passed the Deportation Act that gave counties the power to send great numbers of Mexicans back to Mexico. Government officials thought this would solve the unemployment associated with the Great Depression (it didn't). County officials in Los Angeles, California, organized "deportation trains" and the Immigration Bureau made "sweeps" in the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles, arresting anyone who looked Mexican, regardless of whether or not they were citizens or in the United States legally. Many of those sent to Mexico were native-born United States citizens and had never been to Mexico. The numbers of Mexicans deported during this so-called "voluntary repatriation" was greater than the Native American removals of the nineteenth century and greater than the Japanese-American relocations during World War II. It was the largest involuntary migration in the United States up to that time. Between 1929 and 1935 at least 450,000 Mexicans and Mexican Americans were sent back to Mexico. Some historians think the numbers were closer to a million.
Even though my grandmother lived in this country for over fifty years, I can still remember her breaking out in nervous perspiration and trembling as her passport was checked at the border when we returned to the United States from a shopping trip in Tijuana. She always carried the fear that she could be sent back on a whim, even though repatriation had long been over" (Muñoz Ryan, para. 5-7).
This simply isn't something that people talk about today. People try to forget it happened. People try to forget these things happen. (People who aren't the affected persons, I mean.) And that's dangerous.
|Bridgeton, New Jersey. Seabrook Farm. Migrant's child working in bean field (Collier)
"Ryan's narrative has an epic tone, characters that develop little and predictably, and a romantic patina that often undercuts the harshness of her story. But her style is engaging, her characters appealing, and her story is one that—though a deep-rooted part of the history of California, the Depression, and thus the nation—is little heard in children's fiction. It bears telling to a wider audience" (Kirkus Reviews, para 1).
This book is an excellent teaching material for history lessons on agricultural history, Hispanic/minority studies, and young adult literature that touches on topics of depression (economic, that is, although Esperanza's mother Ramona also deals with depression in the book as well). This would be a wonderful book to use for a book talk on any of the themes mentioned above. If one were to plan a library fiesta celebrating Latino and Latina literature, this book should definitely be on the agenda (along with a little donkey piñata).

Tonight just after dinnertime I said to my daughter, who was dancing and singing loudly, "Sweetie, I just need some space right now."
Her reply was precious, "Well, you better get a space suit and space ship and fly into space then."

Welcome to a Fly on the Wall group post. Today 6 bloggers are inviting you to catch a glimpse of what you'd see if you were a fly on the wall in our homes. Come on in and buzz around my house.
Here's who you'll be hearing from:
And here we are, enjoying the beautiful fall leaves and some amazing weather!
As overheard at the Dinner Table
Daddy O: We need to take the leaf out of the table.
Big Sister: I don't see a leaf. (a leaf of the table to make it bigger)
Little Brother: I'm eating an army of grapes.
Daddy O. remarked one morning,"That's a bird in a blanket. (I had wrapped up a sausage in a pumpkin pancake) My reply, "What, I thought it was pigs in a blanket." Daddy O. explained, "No, it's turkey sausage, so it's a bird."
Highlights from the Kids
Little Brother while eating ice cream: Neck freeze! (as opposed to brain freeze)
We had a great time playing at Grandma and Grandpa's House with cousins. I made a comment on how nice they played with their cousins, and Little Brother set me straight, "They are not our cousins. They are our friends!"
At dinner recently, we were asking the kids about their favorite part of the day. My son chimed in, "My favorite part of the day was Mama." I asked, "Well, was it something you did with mama?" His reply was precious, " No, just Mama!" Melt my heart…I wrote about him still being my baby in this post.
Big Sister declared, "The older I get the funnier I get." Don't we all?!
Big Sister: Do you know what I call weeds? The flowers' mean neighbor.
New Level of Humor in our House
One of our toy magnetic board and decorative skeleton will never be the same.
What's Really Essential?
One evening I told him, "I declined to be part of a candle fundraiser." He replied, "Good, we don't use those." I added, "Yea, and some family members now use essential oils more." Daddy O. responded, "I've never understood for what or for whom oils were essential." I laughed, "Me too. Good one!"
Burn it Now
I had my super organized BFF over, and this time we attacked my closet (after organizing toys one other time she visited). To some of my clothes she said, "Oh my, burn it now!" I highly recommend having some adult beverages while enlisting the help of a good friend to downsize your closet. Fun times and lots of laughs! Here were some of the cast-offs from that night:

When I Grow Up http://kimberlyyavorski.com/whenigrowup/
Wanting to Regress, I Guess
In past Fly on the Wall posts I have talked about growing older, mostly as it relates to my kids. In a unique twist, I heard my kids say, "I wish we were babies, and you had to change our diapers."
Daddy O. replied, "Babies don't earn coins for doing jobs. They can't buy things with money. They can't go swimming by themselves." At age 6 Big Sister can be in the water by herself with an adult on the pool deck. Little Brother still needs an adult in the water with him at age 5.
Little Brother explained, "We would just swim on you. You do all the work, and we do all the relaxing."
Me lamenting to Daddy O., "That's parenting in a nutshell." Sigh.
Camping / Outdoor Quips
While we were hiking, we had to double back to reach the correct trail. I was able to say, "Turn by the floating caterpillar!" It did appear to be floating, suspended on a thin line of a spider's web. It was cool!
Both kids asked on our hike, "Are there wolves in the woods?"
I replied, "Just make your annoying noises and they'll stay away."
Big Sister was a big discouraged after fishing, saying, "I know why we didn't catch any fish. It's because we SUCK!" Wow, I didn't realize she knew that phrase. I explained that they didn't suck, but they just needed to find a better fishing spot…and the fish don't always bite, blah, blah blah (I'm sure she just heard the voice of Charlie Brown's Mom.)
Wedding = Kid Free Time!
Daddy O. and I attended a beautiful wedding of an extended family member, while our kids went with their aunt and uncle and cousins. At the end of the weekend, Big Sister explained, "At our aunt's house, you get points for sleeping in." Hmm…maybe we should do that at home!
On our drive to the wedding we were enjoying some 80's music. I heard the station identification and said, "Wait, is this the oldies station?!" Daddy O. remarked, "Yeah, we are oldies."
While up north we saw a few "Man's Sale" signs. My sister and I laughed, wondering if men were for sale. A few miles down the road more signs gave a few more clues as to what a "Man's Sale" was – fishing, hunting, clothing for men, but it was a good laugh!
Little Brother's New Game
At the step in our garage that leads to our home there were four water bottles lined up. Daddy O. asked, "What's with these water bottles here?"
Me: It was a game. Little Brother would ride his bike around the garage and would deliver me a water bottle that he pretended was a bottle of wine. Then he'd ride around again and pick up another bottle and deliver it to me. I think it's a good game.
Daddy O: Okay then…
Now shoo fly, and go check out all of these other posts!
Welcome to a Fly on the Wall group post. Today 14 bloggers are inviting you to catch a glimpse of what you'd see if you were a fly on the wall in our homes. Come on in and buzz around my house.
Little Brother Highlights
We recently said happy 4th Birthday to my baby boy! On his actual birthday, when I told him I loved him, he said, "I love you more!" So sweet!
While we were driving in the car, my son explains,
Owly (his stuffed owl) doesn't like things that are boring.
Big sister chimes in, "Grown-ups are boring!"
My reply, "Hey kids, I heard that." Sigh!
Since I'm home with him most of the week now (save for two mornings a week when he's in preschool), he is around while I do most of our housework. He took an interest in folding one day, and showed me how it's done. In the upper left image, he instructed, "And now you give it a hug!" There is his "finished product" in our linen closet. A few lessons: find the joy in the mundane, and take whatever help you can get, even if it's the work of a four year old!
Big Sister's Highlights
I'll lead with my favorite thing I heard since last month from my kindergartner:
I miss you, mom, and dad when I'm off at school!
She was explaining this to her brother, saying what a long day it is, and YES, I have to agree! We miss you too big girl!
Other things she's asked,
Is this syrup from the log cabin? (Reading the brand on the label)
Do bananas talk?
My reply, "What do you think? I think they can talk in your imagination."
Little brother says quickly, "They don't."
Big sister, "Yes, they do."
Little brother, clarifying, "They whisper."
Almost every night or every morning, she has been commenting that people in China are waking up or going to bed (basically the opposite of what we're doing). I asked her how she knew this, and she said, "I was just born knowing that."
One Last Camping Trip
We enjoyed one last camping trip in late September, taking our two kids and nephews camping at a nearby site. Everyone had a great time, especially our oldest nephew. As we woke up in our tent early Saturday morning, he asked us earnestly, "Are we going to cook the old fashioned way?" I think he meant over a campfire, but it just sounded so cute! We broke out our propane camp stove and cooked breakfast that way.
Later that morning we did some hiking. I had my hands full with my purse and several bags for the "treasures" that the kids found as part of the nature scavenger hunt, so I turned to Daddy O. and, much to my own embarrassment said, "I kind of wish I had a fanny pack!" Do cool, water-bottle holding type fanny packs exist??
This was our view from the trails – kids running on ahead of us! We all enjoyed the beautiful views and fantastic weather.
As you will only hear up north
Earlier this month, I went up north for a girls' weekend to celebrate my sister's birthday. We went to a small dive bar and took over the jukebox to play some dance music. During the night, I heard a guy say,
I got so hot that I took off my long underwear.
And to one guy wearing a blaze orange hat, a girl in our group said,
Did you think you were going to get shot while golfing?
Only in a bar up north will you encounter long underwear, camo, and blaze orange! Good times!
A Morning Observation
Daddy O. is typically the last one to wake up in our house. He likes to sleep in when he can, but this doesn't happen often. Over the weekend, he commented
Our son in extra loud this morning.
My reply, "Little boys only have one volume!"
A Little Distracted
As many parents will agree, I've found it's difficult to carve out my own time when my kids are vying for my attention. I came across these pictures, when my kids climbed on my lap and shoved their heads in between my face and my smartphone. THAT got my attention.
Similarly, my son climbs on my lap when I'm on the computer, saying, "Mom, get off the computer!" Jeez – it's tough to blog these days!

RE: "Sabine Lake likely up for debate," The Advocate, Aug. 28
As a member of the oyster community whose family has been involved since 1876, I believe many of your readers may not understand the natural life cycle of an oyster reef or what influences Mother Nature and man have on them.
I disagree with Advocate writer Joe Macaluso's article stating the oyster reefs in Sabine Lake hadn't been touched for so long the reef is the only structure of its kind in Louisiana, or possibly in North America and the Western Hemisphere.
That assertion makes good headlines, but it is just not accurate. There are many oyster reefs, both public and privately built by oyster farmers in Louisiana, that are equally if not more vertically developed than that in Sabine Lake.
To name a few: Southwest Pass in Vermillion, Camille Reef, Diamond Reef, the Shell Keys, Four League Bay, Shell Island Bay, Tin Can Reef, Telegraph Point, the shallow reefs in southern Black Bay, Lake Borgne near Shell Beach, Point Au Fur, Mussel Pass, Scowl Pass, and the "king" of all vertical reefs in Louisiana, Cabbage Reef.
I understand how the Louisiana Wildlife Federation, National Wildlife Federation, Coastal Conservation Association of Louisiana, Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana and The Nature Conservancy have lined up to oppose opening Sabine Lake for its stated purpose as one of Louisiana's public oyster grounds, but that doesn't mean they are right.
The Public Trust Doctrine and the laws of the state of Louisiana clearly denote that the oysters in Sabine Lake are to be harvested and consumed by the people of Louisiana, both commercially and recreationally. It's wrong that it's taken these groups more than seven years to object to the opening of Sabine Lake for commercial oyster harvest again.
The Louisiana Oyster Task Force had been working with the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, Department of Health and Hospitals, and Food and Drug Administration since 2004 to test the water quality and gain enough historic water samples to reopen Sabine Lake for commercial oyster harvest.
Oysters are filter feeders and a big reason why the water quality in Sabine Lake is now good enough for oysters to be consumed raw.
But if environmental quality laws had not been passed more than 30 years ago eliminating or reducing polluting discharges into Sabine Lake, all the oysters in the world would not have cleansed Sabine Lake. And if not for oyster farming in Louisiana, there would be fewer oyster reefs spread across the state filtering pollutants from the estuaries.
Please don't let politics determine if Sabine Lake should be open for commercial harvest, but let the laws of our state help the Wildlife and Fisheries commissioners make the decision.

KATHMANDU, Nepal – Stores reopened and traffic was returning to Nepal's capital three days after the Himalayan nation was shaken by a second major earthquake.
But thousands of people were still sleeping in tents scattered across the city on Friday, afraid that aftershocks might topple damaged homes.
Schools and colleges remained closed after Tuesday's magnitude-7.3 quake, which killed 117 people and injured 2,800. It struck just 2 1/2 weeks after the country was battered by a magnitude-7.8 quake that killed more than 8,200 people.
Government office buildings in Kathmandu have been badly hit, with many buildings developing cracks or collapsing altogether. Government officials from the National Planning Commission were working from a tent erected outside its building.
Outside Kathmandu, many roads linking the capital to outlying areas were heavily damaged.

Pune, India, 18th August2017: WiseGuyReports announced addition of new report, titled "Data Center Infrastructure and Cloud Computing Considerations in Retail: Gaining competitive advantage through better understanding retailers' business and".
This IT strategic insight report "Data Center Infrastructure and Cloud Computing Considerations in Retail", analyzes the challenges and opportunities regarding data center upgrades and the usage of cloud computing in retail.
GET SAMPLE REPORT @ www.wiseguyreports.com/sample-requ…ing-competitive
Retailers are highly dependent on IT infrastructure for running key business applications and creating a competitive customer experience through innovative technologies. Since they are under a growing pressure to keep operating costs at bay while also launching various innovative solutions for maintaining competitiveness, retailers require updates to their IT infrastructure.
Outdated servers, storage, networking and software need to be refreshed so that higher capacity, agility and scalability can be achieved at a lower or comparable cost.
- Most retailers look to implement a hybrid cloud solution that integrates on-premises and hosted environments in order to take advantage of scalability and cost-efficiency while also meeting data compliance requirements Although vendors tend to focus more on advances on the software side, retailers are still heavily hardware-focused and aim to maintain their own datacenter resources so that they can remain in control over their IT and meet compliance requirements
- Retailers continue to invest in server and storage infrastructure, however the ongoing shift towards public cloud services leads to a gradual decline in hardware spending
Reasons to access
- Gain insight into retailers' data center infrastructure and cloud computing priorities. This reports helps you to structure your retail specific infrastructure strategy, and is especially useful for vendors that offer servers, storage, networks or cloud services.

OK magazine has defended its decision to publish a "tribute" edition to Jade Goody even though she is still alive.
This week's copy of the magazine carries a black border, the banner: "Jade Goody Official Tribute Issue 1981 – 2009" and the strapline: "In Loving Memory".
The 27-year-old reality TV star, who has terminal cancer, is spending her final days at home with her family.
Her friend and publicist Max Clifford said the star was "very weak" but that she had "put her house in order".
OK said the family had been in contact to say they thought the edition was "very kind" to Goody.
In a statement, the magazine said: "OK's tribute issue is a celebration of Jade's amazing life.
"Jade's family have spoken to OK today to reiterate that they understand the tribute issue and view it as being very kind to Jade.
"They would like to also state that they are extremely grateful for the support that OK has provided during this distressing period."
Goody has been open about her desire to use media interest in her illness to secure the financial future of her two sons and it is understood OK paid her in the region of £700,000 for rights to her recent wedding to Jack Tweed and the boys' christening.

I have a strange love of oatmeal. I know there are a lot of people who are not fans of the stuff, but I really enjoy the chewy, heartiness of it. You add in the fact that oatmeal contains a ton of good for you things in it and it is a win-win food. All that said, the last thing I want to eat after a hot, humid, 5:30 a.m. run in Florida is a hot bowl of oatmeal.
This problem lead me on a quest to find a creative, yet still nutritious way to have my oatmeal. I wanted something that picked up on the satisfying chewiness of the oats without adding a lot of sugar or fat. After searching on the interwebs, I found two interesting options that seemed like what I was looking for.
I started with these pumpkin oatmeal cups from Green Lite Bites. I pretty much followed the recipe, but added cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and allspice instead of the pumpkin pie spice. I tend to go a bit heavy on the spices, because in my house there is no such thing as too much cinnamon. These were delicious and super easy to make. I love all things pumpkin and these are a great mix of oats and pumpkin.
Then I made these baked oatmeal snack bars from Kath Eats Real Food. I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk instead of the regular milk because it was in the house. I also upped the cinnamon (surprise, surprise). I used cranberries, golden raisins and sunflower seeds in mine. These were also very good. The fruit gave them some sweetness, but was not overpowering.
Overall, both recipes were good. I like the oatmeal cups because it makes them really portable. This also makes it easier for me to have my oatmeal in the car on the way to work, which happens more often than it should.
I know oatmeal is a strange food to love. What are some of your unique food favorites?

Heavenly Father,
As I wake up today may you grant me eyes to see as you see.
May I see children that are treasures from you on loan to me.
May I handle their tender hearts with gentle care.
May I smile at their mistakes, laugh at their jokes,
Cry with their tears, and hug their fears.
May the words that I speak build them up and not tear them down.
May my touch declare Your love.
Help me to Choose joy and not criticism,
Peace not strife.
Today may I teach children and not curriculum.
Seek the completion of your will and not mine.
Seek the transforming of their minds not only the filling.
Seek heart connection and not simply knowledge retention.
May all that I teach and all that they learn be single in purpose--
To impart a love and passion for You.
May we do our best in all things not for our own pride but for Your Glory.
Tonight as I tuck them in,
May I know that as I have required their best, I have given mine.
I am so grateful for, yet humbled by the responsibility entrusted to me.
By the constant filling of your Holy Spirit,
May I be worthy of the calling you have placed upon me.

Hey NicoleReplyDelete
Just writing in to say, I love your blog. And this poem is a real inspiration, brought a tear to my eye. We are HSers 3 years in with SL too; so lovely to find a like-minded but much better organised (not to mention far more creative) person . Our year begins mid Sept (in the Middle East right now). So blessings on your year and thanks for a really beautiful blog.Replies
Thank you so much for your kind words! My dh would laugh at the organized comment. I am super creative, and the only thing organized by me in our home is our homeschool! ;) He is the organized one and I look like a mess compared to him! lol Blessings on your school year, and I hope you "stop by" often!Delete

|Feeling myself right now, ijs lol! 9months being pregnant
has that effect on a person lol...
I told y'all I've been productive, right? One would think that with a newborn and two boys that life would be no more, right? WRONG!!! Y'all, I am still getting my life and maintaining as normal, as that's the only way to stay normal, I think.. My creative, sewing juices are through the roof, and I'm not complaining one bit. I even stopped by my local Hancock's for the new fall Vogue patterns. But, I'll talk about them a wee bit later, let's get back to this top shall we!
|Vogue 8821
I fell hard for this top when I seen Kelly's version, and knew I had to have one myself. It took me a minute to get to it. I mean with carrying life and all for nine whole long months (insert eye roll from my husband) lol! This top was ridiculously easy on the ease factor, which was a major score for me.I believe the pattern for view A, the view I made has three pieces, yass! I used a new to me fabric, a Rayon Challis from Fabric.com... I will say not one of my favorite fabrics to work with, but maybe one of my favorites to wear, especially in this Texas heat!
I didn't make any alterations to the top, but should I make this top again and I shall! Then I will lengthen the front an inch, just my personal preference, not really trying to show off my tiger stripes, but dang it I earned them lol! For reference I'm 5'7 and have a long torso. I also sewed the back straight up the middle, and I didn't find this to be too tight.. So, if you don't own this pattern and this is your style, grab this one because it's such a stylish top..
Well, I hope you ladies are enjoying your weekend and getting plenty of sewing in! I'm off to get my sewing plans together for fall.. Be blessed and nothin' less and continue to stay fearlessly fierce!

Growing annual flowers offers two advantages over growing perennial flowers. First, annuals bloom profusely throughout the growing season. Secondly, many favorite annual flowers freely self-sow and weave their way through your garden year after year. Self-sowing flowers are what we refer to as "volunteers". They do the work for you and no flowers do it better than annuals.
Only open pollinated and heirloom varieties of any plant will grow true from seed, meaning the seedlings will be... exactly like the parent plants. But there are many open pollinated, self-seeding annuals to choose from and even if you do get some unexpected seedlings, who's to say you won't like them? That's where new plants come from.
When growing self-sowing annual flowers, you will need to allow the late season blooms enough time to go to seed. If you've been deadheading all summer to keep the blooms coming, stop deadheading by the middle of August. The seeds need to ripen and that usually means the flowers must dry completely. That's about all it takes. They don't call them self-seeders for nothing. Hopefully, you'll have plenty of other fall bloomers to distract from the browning annuals. If nature cooperates, you'll be seeing volunteers in and about your gardens next year and for years to come.
Sowing Seeds Yourself
Annuals that have self-seeded give your garden a natural look. However, sometimes they seed too enthusiastically or plant themselves where you wish they hadn't. Luckily self-sown annuals are easily transplanted to other spots in your garden or potted up for friends. Or you could take matters into your own hands and simply save the seeds and sow them yourself. You can do this by scattering the seeds directly into the flower bed or by starting the seeds indoors next spring.
If you choose to direct seed your own annual flowers, be sure you know and provide the conditions the seeds require to germinate, including:
- Light: Some seeds need light to germinate and should not be covered with soil. Scatter these seeds and lightly press them into the soil with the back of a hoe or a board. Other annuals require darkness, which can be easily achieved with a top layer of soil.
- Scarification: There are several annual flowers that protect their seeds with hard coverings. To improve the odds of these seeds germinating, scarify or nick the outer covering by rubbing with sandpaper or chipping the coating with a sharp knife. Use caution with the knife method. These seeds are hard and tiny and it's so easy to miss... It's easier to soften the seed by soaking it overnight.
- Cold: Besides moisture, there are annual flower seeds, like poppies, that require a period of cold before they are triggered to begin germination. Nature takes care of this for us, when the seeds are left on the ground during winter. If you are starting seeds indoors, place the potted seed in the refrigerator for the recommended amount of time.
When to Sow Seeds Outdoors
When to sow annual flower seeds outdoors depends on the type of seed and your climate. The best indicator is nature. If certain annuals reliably self-sow in your garden, you can bet they prefer being sown in the fall. Annuals that disappear after a season could simply be sterile hybrids or they may prefer warmer germination conditions. You can save seed from many marigolds, but it is rare for them to self-sow in cold climates.
USDA Hardiness Zones 5 and Lower
Short season gardens stand the best chance of getting a lot of self-seeded volunteers during winters with good snow cover, for insulation from cold, drying winds. Obviously, only seeds that can handle a period of cold are going to self-seed in your gardens and you will need to ensure that you have allowed the seed heads to mature before your first frost. The option of saving seed and direct sowing it in the garden in the early spring, just before you expect the frosts to subside, might work best for gardeners in colder zones.
USDA Hardiness Zones 6 - 8
You moderates have the best of both worlds. You have a longer period in fall to allow seeds to ripen and drop. You also probably get enough of a cold spell for seeds that need a chill to germinate.
USDA Hardiness Zones 9-11
Gardeners in zones 9 and higher can also allow seeds to self-sow in the fall. But your annuals will likely grow and flower in winter, rather than waiting for spring. Unless your weather is very dry, you will probably get several seasons of volunteers.
01 of 26
Alyssum makes a lovely low growing mat that is perfect for edging paths, the front of a border, or containers. Most varieties have a sweet vanilla-like scent. Some of the recent hybrids do not come true to seed.
02 of 26
It's hard to beat the blue color of Bachelor's Buttons. It got the name "cornflower" because it grew as a weed in corn fields, but you will welcome it in your garden. It does spread, but it is easy to pull out extras.
03 of 26
Blue Woodruff (Asperula orientalis)
Unlike perennial woodruff, Asperula orientalis has small, deep blue flowers. It is often considered a wildflower and the volunteers will look good poking through other plants in the garden. A word of caution: rabbits love to munch on the new, tender plants.
04 of 26
You'll find the seed of California poppy in a lot of wildflower mixes, but you will have better luck growing it on its own. The delicate orange blossoms sit on airy fern-like foliage.Continue to 5 of 26 below.
05 of 26
The annual Candytuft comes in more colors than the white perennial variety. These are cool weather plants that should be seeded early, so they can bloom before summer's heat.
06 of 26
This cottage garden plant can grow 1 - 3 ft. tall, with long stems of flowers. USDA Hardiness Zones 7 and above can seed them in the fall, for blooms throughout winter, Cooler climates should seed in early spring.
07 of 26
The annual Coreopsis, also known as Calliopsis, is even more free-flowering than the perennial varieties. If you have problems with perennial Coreopsis spreading and taking over your garden, this is a good option.
08 of 26
The variety of cosmos flowers available grows larger every year. You can find delicate pastels and brilliant, bold reds and oranges. They are profuse bloomers and will all be frequented by bees and other pollinators.Continue to 9 of 26 below.
09 of 26
Flax (Linum)
Although technically a perennial plant, blue flax is short-lived, at best. However, it readily re-seeds itself and stays in bloom for weeks on end. The vivid blue flowers blend well with most other plants.
10 of 26
Forget-Me-Nots (Cynoglossum)
Forget-me-nots are among the most enthusiastic self-sowers and you may need to do a bit of editing. But the cheerful and abundant blue flowers are a great cottage garden addition.
11 of 26
There are enough varieties of black-eyed Susans for everyone to have a different favorite. The annual varieties bloom even more abundantly than their perennial cousins, often with larger flowers.
12 of 26
Larkspur (Consolida)
Tall larkspur prefers cooler climates. When starting your first patch, you may have better luck with germination if you stratify your seeds, before planting. After that, winter will take care of it for you. All parts of the plant, including the seeds, are poisonous if ingested, so use care around children and pets.Continue to 13 of 26 below.
13 of 26
Love-in-a-Mist can be direct sown very early in the season and then succession planted throughout spring. Its blooms don't last long, but they are gorgeous and soon followed by their quirky seed pods.
14 of 26
Malope (Malope trifida)
Malope is an annual mallow and the flower resemblance is strong. You can direct sow or start some seeds early, to transplant after danger of frost. As a bonus to their beauty, the flowers are edible.
15 of 26
Melampodium is a relative of the sunflower, although considerably shorter. It forms a short mound that is great for the front of the border or containers. Melampodiumhis is a good choice for dry areas of the garden.
16 of 26
Mignonette (Reseda)
Not everyone is impressed with the yellow-green, spiky blooms of Mignonette, but the intense honey scent will win you over. Mignonette does best in a sunny spot with rich soil. If you are starting from seed, don't cover it; Mignonette needs light to germinate.Continue to 17 of 26 below.
17 of 26
Portulaca seed will travel. You can plant it in one part of your yard and find it growing all over the place. However, the plants are small and not aggressive. Choose a sunny spot, because moss rose flowers only open with the sun shines on them.
18 of 26
Nasturtium seeds are large and easy to handle. They are also edible, as is the rest of the plant. The seeds make great substitutes for capers. If you can resist eating them and allow them to fall off the plant, you will have nasturtium plants popping up year after year.
19 of 26
Pot Marigolds are also edible. The flowers have a mild floral fragrance, but the leaves are quite tangy. Allow some flowers to mature and set seed and you will have volunteers the same season and many seasons to come.
20 of 26
There's purple everywhere you look, with these hyacinth beans; the flowers, the stems, the seed pods, and the undersides of the leaves. The beans are edible when fully cooked, but many gardeners grow them as ornamentals. Let some seeds fall and save some, to plant elsewhere.Continue to 21 of 26 below.
21 of 26
Snow-on-the-Mountain (Euphorbia marginata)
The flowers on this annual Euphorbia are not much to look at, but the white bracts make it appear the plant is always in flower. This plant stays colorful all season and those nondescript flowers obligingly drop their seeds, so you can enjoy the show all over again next year.
22 of 26
Spider flower doesn't start blooming until midseason; after it has grown 3 - 4 ft. tall. Then it sends out loose balls of blossoms that bloom over several weeks. You will get volunteers the following season. However spider flower does cross-pollinate, so if you planted more than one color, you will get a whole new mix of colors next year.
23 of 26
Sweet peas do not self-sow everywhere, but if you are lucky to be in an area where they do, be prepared for some surprises. The plants will cross with other sweet peas, or hybrid varieties may revert to one of their parents' features. But have you ever seen an unattractive sweet pea?
24 of 26
Tall, or Brazilian, verbena sends up long, branching stalks of 2 ft. more, with tight clusters of purple flowers. Be prepared to see butterflies taking over your garden. The self-sown seeds are late to emerge, in the spring. Hold off mulching until you see them.Continue to 25 of 26 below.
25 of 26
Thimble Flower (Gilia)
Gilia thrives in dry, sandy soil. The small, globe-shaped flowers look best in a large planting, so allow them to set a lot of seed, at the end of the season. Gilia is a heavy nectar producer. You will have to share the flowers with the bees.
26 of 26
There's been a lot of breeding done on Tobacco plant, but it is the tall, fragrant Nicotiana sylvestries that are most likely to self-sow for you. The sprays of tubular, white flowers are most fragrant in the evening.

Hi guys,
Due to the new requirement from Apple I have look into an old app to make it 64-bit compatible. My app uses Cocos2d v2.0.0-RC2. Knowing you guys just released an update v2.2 with 64-bit support, I pleasantly downloaded the release and replaced all files under Cocos2d, CocosDenshion, Box2d, and kazmath folder. My app compiles without errors under arm64. (Great.)
Now here comes the problem, whenever I start the game, no visuals can be shown. It's just black. After a few blind test I can confirm that it still detects touch and plays sound.
One weird behaviour is that, if I exit the app (without killing it) and go back in again, the visuals come right back and everything is normal again.
The error I can see from my console is: OpenGL error 0x0506 in -[CCES2Renderer resizeFromLayer:] 140
OpenGL error 0x0506 in -[CCES2Renderer resizeFromLayer:] 140
I'm totally new to Cocos2d so any guidance or hints would be very helpful.
Thanks a lot!
I started looking into what the app does when the app enters foreground again because that's where everything goes back to normal. All I see is that the app simply calls [[CCDirector sharedDirector] startAnimation]
[[CCDirector sharedDirector] startAnimation]
I went ahead checking where else that is called and then I discovered something interesting. The runWithScene: method from CCDirector does call startAnimation but this is not the case for its subclass CCDirectorIOS. The method is being overridden like below:
- (void)runWithScene:(CCScene*) scene
NSAssert( scene != nil, @"Argument must be non-nil");
NSAssert(_runningScene == nil, @"This command can only be used to start the CCDirector. There is already a scene present.");
[self pushScene:scene];
NSThread *thread = [self runningThread];
[self performSelector:@selector(drawScene) onThread:thread withObject:nil waitUntilDone:YES];}
The startAnimation method isn't being called there, and that is why openGL fires error and no visuals can be shown. When I added 'startAnimation` back, everything works normal.
Does anybody know why the override is there?
Sarahthian, thanks for this information. You saved my life! I was having the same problem and this fixed it. Thanks
