October Revolution Day in Belarus and Kyrgyzstan Date in the current year: November 7, 2018
In March 1917, Nicholas II of Russia was forced to abdicate. The power was seized by the Russian Provisional Government. It was composed predominantly of former aristocrats and nobles. The government was unpopular and weakened by internal disagreements. The Bolsheviks used its weakness as an opportunity to seize power.
On October 25 (November 7 in the Gregorian calendar), 1917, a blank shot from the forecastle gun of the cruiser Aurora signaled the start of the assault on the Winter Palace in Petrograd (now Saint Petersburg). The Bolsheviks overthrew the Provisional Government and established Soviet Russia.
In Kyrgyzstan and Belarus, October Revolution Day is a public holiday. It is marked with parades, official ceremonies and other celebratory events and activities. In Russia, it was replaced with Unity Day (November 4), but some Communists observe it unofficially, organizing rallies and processions. Besides, November 7 is one of the Russian Days of Military Honor.Remind me with Google Calendar

Have you ever applied for a loan from a bank and wondered why you were quoted a certain interest rate? I remember when I applied for a loan to buy my first house. I had taken out a few student loans that had been paid off, but I was still making payments on my auto loan, and had a couple of open credit cards. Since I had never been late on a payment I assumed I would qualify for the lowest advertised interest rate.
After submitting my loan application, to my surprise, I wasn't offered the lowest rate. "But why?" I asked the mortgage loan officer. I had never missed a payment on any of my loans or credit cards, and isn't that what they should be concerned about? I was told my credit score wasn't high enough to warrant their lowest rate.
After doing some research I discovered that one of the most important factors lenders take into account when deciding whether or not to extend credit, as well as what terms and rates will be offered, is the quality of the applicant's credit score. And that a person's credit score is determined by the person's credit report.
A credit score is a numerical representation of your credit risk, which is essentially how likely you are to pay back the loan. Credit scores range from 300 to 850 (higher is better) and are used as a quick and easy way for lenders to objectively evaluate your credit risk. Most lenders require a minimum credit score before they will make you a loan, and create credit score tiers that are used to determine what interest rate they will offer. That's why it's important to have as high a credit score as possible before you apply for any loan, whether it is a private student loan, private student loan refinancing, or a personal loan.
The first thing to know is it takes time to improve your credit score. While you can ruin your credit score very quickly, it can take several years of good behavior to increase your credit score, especially if you have had a credit mishap like a missed payment. Below are six suggestions to help you improve (or maintain) your credit score.
Having a clean credit report and a high credit score can help you in many ways, including lowering the cost of borrowing, obtaining insurance, setting up housing utilities, getting a job offer, and more. If you are having trouble making your payments, be sure to speak with your credit card provider or lender before you miss a payment. It's in their best interest to work with you to find a mutually agreeable solution, so you may be able to work out an arrangement that meets your needs.

Wellness: Superfoods - Chocolate Healthy_Say What?
Say What?
As a chocolate maker, I began "infotaining" tourists and visitors to Guanacaste more than five years ago. One of my favorite parts of the workshops I give is about nutrition. We are all bombarded almost daily with news and information on the latest nutritional discovery when it comes to wonder-food properties. Chances are, they will be raving about some vegetable or root, and more often than not, consuming these foods can be a bit of a struggle as they tend to have a bitter or even foul taste.
So whenever my guests hear me pointing out that cacao is the healthiest food on earth, I immediately get their full attention! Roughly 90 percent of the population in the modern world eats chocolate at least once a week. That's why so many people are surprised to learn that what we've always considered to be candy may actually be good for us.
Important distinction: The healthy part of chocolate is not the milk, the sugar, the soy lecithin or any of the other additives. It's the cacao. If you want to eat healthy chocolate, you will have to focus on chocolate with a high percentage of cacao. There is plenty of packaging information to help to figure this out. Chocolate makers are required to state the percentage of cacao on every bar they sell, so just read the declaration and pay attention.
Dark chocolate with a low sugar content and a high cacao percentage is the healthiest. Or you can just eat the cacao all by itself! You may be surprised just how delicious roasted cacao nibs are. Try them in a smoothie, on your ice cream, tossed in a salad or as a healthy addition to your breakfast cereal.
So what is it exactly that makes cacao the healthiest food on earth? Amazingly, cacao contains most of the nutrients and vitamins we need on a daily basis. It's a very complete food — high in a number of minerals, high in dietary fiber, and contains a good amount of protein. And when it comes to magnesium and antioxidants, cacao is the best source in nature, hands down.
If I have awoken your curiosity – or if you just crave good chocolate – you can find me in The Beach Chocolate Factory in Brasilito Tuesday to Saturday 9am to 5pm.

The 10th edition of Gulf Industry Fair 2017 (GIF) takes place at a critical time for the promotion of the economic diversification of the GCC's national economies according to the event organizers Hilal Conferences and Exhibitions.
Gulf Industry Fair 2017 takes place from the 7th – 9th February under the patronage of HRH Prince Khalifa Bin Salman Al Khalifa, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Bahrain.
"Despite a regional economic slowdown caused by low oil prices, ongoing investment in GCC industrial infrastructure remains strong. Notably, the announcement earlier this year of Saudi Arabia's long-term 2030 Vision blueprint is likely to be a key driver of the Gulf's industrial ambitions in coming years as the region's biggest economy accelerates diversification efforts." says Jubran Abdulrahman, Managing Director of HCE, organizers of GIF.
"Gulf Industry Fair is dedicated to promoting the economic opportunities arising from the march to diversifying the economies of the GCC "Adds Mr. Abdulrahman.
Gulf Industry Fair, has built its unique reputation as a one-stop shop for key sectors of industrial development. GIF has concentrated on the Aluminium sector, Energy and Environmental Protection, Industrial Metals, Industrial Processes and Manufacturing, Logistics and Industrial Facilities, Industrial Security and Safety, Ports and Maritime Industries as well as Training for Industry.
"In 2016, GIF proved to be a successful showcase for the both exhibitors and visitors . The event attracted 3,325 unique registered visitors. Analysis of the demographics of the visitors revealed that 15 % of the visitors attending came from Saudi Arabia and 43% of the total visitor numbers were decision makers." Says Ahmed Suleiman, Exhibitions Director. "For 2017 we will be looking to add to the large exhibitor participation from Saudi Arabia and build upon the Training for Industry workshops, seminars and conferences which provide an invaluable opportunity to exchange skills and knowledge between the participants" adds Mr Suleiman.
Gulf Industry Fair is supported by leading industrial giants in Bahrain, including the National Oil & Gas Authority (Noga) in association with Bahrain Petroleum Company (Bapco), and Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), both of whom are in the midst of major expansion projects

WH Statement on Trump's Remarks: 'Of Course That Includes White Supremacists'
The White House has put out a new statement this morning clarifying the President's comments on Charlottesville yesterday.
President Trump's statement condemning the violence included the phrase "on many sides" and set off a firestorm of controversy over what seemed like the suggestion of a false moral equivalence.
The White House statement today says "of course" his statement includes condemnation of specific extremist groups like the KKK and Neo-Nazis:

Flamingo (Yes! That's a sillhouette of a flamingo inside the Speech Bubble!) =
The FoxLoft describes the symbolism of a Flamingo best: "Social, Community, Heart. Flamingo as a totem teaches us the importance of relationships, that we are much stronger when part of a group, both giving and receiving support. Flamingo medicine can teach us the healing power of a rich emotional self, strong interpersonal connections, and being true to our deepest passions. Flamingo energy is rooted in the social; a sense of fun, the balance of a strong individual self, with a sense of community. Flamingo can teach us to filter our emotions, learning to manage and recognize what is fleeting versus what is truly central to ourselves. Flamingo people tend to be open, affectionate, flamboyant personalities and despite their tendency to be taken lightly, are wellsprings of inner strength. They are able to weather great travails and accomplish amazing things, confident in their own abilities and support of their family and friends."
Whether you connect with all of the above or just a few of the above, CVA in a nutshell is... SOCIAL, COMMUNITY, & HEART.
What's Behind the Name & Logo?!
A Creative Visionary (CV) is someone who creatively envisions the future by planning and elaborating on one simple idea. Always thinking ahead and outside-of-the-box, a go-getter attitude, and a brilliant imagination, ready to take on the world! (Well, maybe not the WHOLE world, but we usually think BIG!)
"Put simply, a creative visionary is someone who uses his/her creativity in service of a vision for something different. Creative visionaries are first and foremost grounded in the possible–as opposed to the likely or 'business as usual'–it is from there that they envision and then actually create solutions, projects, art, and ways of being. I believe that we're all innately creatively powerful people. Creative visionaries just feel more comfortable owning that power to actually make good on their visions for a life less ordinary." ~ Life Coach, Lauren Russo
In the event, activity and recreational programming industries, it takes a certain UMPH, PASSION, ENERGY & CHARISMA to do the jobs we do and to LOVE every bit of it! Making us CREATIVE VISIONARIES!
Here's the symbolism behind our CVA Logo...
Speech Bubble = Networking
Colors = Bringing together a variety of colorful personalities

I'd like to share how one document saved the day for a franchisor. Before implementing myStaffingPro, each franchise had a manual, chaotic hiring process. Documents weren't completed, steps were skipped, etc.
The applicant tracking implementation manager used the tools in myStaffingPro to create a universal application process and hiring workflow, but that still wasn't enough to rein everyone in. To close the gap, the implementation manager created a simple, one-page reference guide with the complete hiring workflow.
The workflow included:
- What needed to be completed at each step in the hiring process and its associated phase
- The "qualified" and "unqualified" status for each step of the hiring process in myStaffingPro
Once completed, the workflow was then set as the new hiring guide for all franchisees. This simple, one-page document enabled them to get all of their franchisees on the same hiring process, cut down on user support, and improve compliance. We've since used this document to assist other clients in defining their hiring process during their applicant tracking implementation.
What do you use?

Breach of Contract Dispute
Breach of contract is one of the most common business disputes handled by our Chicago breach of contract attorneys. Ordinarily, a party (whether it be a business, executive, entrepreneur or an individual) must perform pursuant to his or her business agreement unless both parties to the business agreement consent to a change in contractual terms. Any deviation from the specific terms of the business agreement could be deemed a contractual breach. The breaching party is often liable for damages incurred by the non-breaching party. A breach of contract could occur in regards to a written contract or an oral contract. Intentional interference with contract (intentionally damaging contractual relations of another) is a related breach of contact claim.
Several situations may give rise to a breach of contract claim. For example, a party to the business agreement may do something that violates a term of that business agreement; a party may refuse to perform its obligations under the contract (such as delivering product or making payment); or a party may act (or fail to act) such that it makes it impossible for the other party to perform under the terms of the contract.
In general, to prevail on a breach of contract claim the following criteria must be shown:
- The existence of a valid business contract;
- Knowledge of the business contract on the part of the defendant or that it was readily apparent to the defendant;
- An intentional interference that causes a breach of the contract; and
- Economic damages suffered by the non-breaching party as a result of the breach party's business contract interference.
Most often, the fundamental issue in breach of contract dispute is ascertaining the intent of the parties, which is the court's primary objective. The intent of the parties sets out the parties' expectations to the business agreement, the extent of the parties' duties and obligations, how the parties have allocated the risks of the transaction, and what the consequences of the breach of contract will be. Learning the true intent of the parties, as understood by the parties involved, is generally reflected by the four corners of the business agreement. Thus, it's crucially important to always have a well written business agreement in place that properly reflects the business transaction and the parties' duties and responsibilities.
Some of the most common types of breach of contract claims involve:
- Asset Purchase Agreements
- Shareholder Agreements
- Partnership Agreements
- Vendor Agreements
- Promissory Notes
- Joint Venture Agreements
- Trademark License Agreements
- Patent License Agreements
- Noncompete Agreements
- Confidentiality Agreements
- Employment Agreements
- Independent Contractor agreements
- Commercial Lease Agreements
- Supply Contracts
- Manufacturing Contracts
- Reseller Agreements

MJ O'Shea is on tour with her latest book, Family Jewels. She stopped by to share with us some information about cat burglers – totally fascinating!
Title: Family Jewels
Author: M.J. O'Shea
Publisher: Dreamspinner Press
Cover Artist: L.C. Chase
Length: 200 Pages
Release Date: 27th April, 2015
Blurb: Corbin Ford, aka the Nightwatchman, named for the antique pocket watches he leaves behind at jobs, has been in the cat-burgling business for years. His father was. His grandfather was. His mother is still one of the most renowned thieves. Corbin likes his high-profile heists, priceless paintings from private collections, artifacts from museums, but his favorite? Jewels. Sparkly, beautiful jewels. If they're famous, better yet.
Interpol agent Luke Eldridge has one goal and one goal only: to catch the Nightwatchman. Luke's been after him for months, but getting the slip time and again is getting embarrassing. Luke has never even laid eyes on the bastard, but he'd happily strangle him. And then arrest him.
When Luke meets Corbin, the man of his dreams, he falls hard and fast… only to catch Corbin red-handed with his hand in a jewelry case at the scene of the highest-profile murder that's rocked the international world in years.
The Guest Post
Hey there, It's MJ O'Shea:)
Soo… for the past few books I've been able to do some really fun research. The kind of research where I start to hope nobody, official-like has been snooping on my browser history. True story. Some smart-ass in my neighborhood named their wifi "FBI Surveillance van". Even truer story. It was only around for about two weeks in the list of options and then it disappeared.
I was only a tiny bit creeped out.
Anyway, lol, back to what I learned for this book, Family Jewels. I got to look into Interpol and how far they're allowed to go to track a case, I got to look into Scotland Yard (squealll!!!), and my favorite was reading page after page about famous jewel heists and cat burglars…
Here's a couple of them:
Charles Peace — no fun press moniker, but Charles Peace was one of the most prolific cat-burglars in history (at least the ones who were caught). He was small and slight, which made sneaking much easier. Peace lived in England in the 1800s and would steal from the rich at night while they were sleeping. He was very wealthy, bought multiple houses with his takings, and was finally caught and executed at the age of 47.
Doris Payne — her name came up again and again when I was doing my research. She's still alive, that I know of, but her mode was very different. She was good at going into stores while they were open, asking to see a number of items (usually jewelry) and confusing the employees until she managed to sneak a few of the pieces out with her. She wasn't caught until she was in her 80s.
The Pink Panther Gang — seriously. It sounds funny, but these guys are pretty serious business! Interpol named them after the famous detective films, and there's even been a movie made about them (Smash and Grab). The most recent theft that I found took place in 2013 in Cannes and was worth about 135 million dollars US.
I compiled some of the details and made up some of my own (of course!!) and made my own thief called the nightwatchman, who likes to leave watches and a verse of poetry at the scenes of his crimes. Corbin has one weakness…Luke.
I've put more info and some links below! Thanks for having me stop by:)
MJ O'Shea
London, March.
"We've got something you need to see, Luke. You'd better get over here now."
Luke Eldridge sighed into his phone. He glanced at the slices of pizza he'd just picked up from a food cart down on the Camden Lock. Looked like there was more cold pizza in his future. Typical. Irritating, but typical.
"Where are you?" Luke asked. He dragged himself off his soft leather couch. It made a disgusting squelching sound. Luke turned and halfheartedly wiped the seat off. He was tired from the run he'd forced himself to take, wet, and starting to chill as heat escaped through his damp T-shirt. The last thing he wanted to do was get back into a suit and go out in the cold he'd just escaped from.
Rob, one of his oldest friends from his days in the FBI academy, rattled off a very upper crust Kensington address.
"Jesus. Is this one going to make the morning press?" Luke asked. People who lived at addresses like that tended to make the news. His job was always harder when he had a ton of panicking socialites breathing down his neck guarding their beloved possessions. He didn't need them or the news vans outside his crime scene.
"Probably. I'll try to put it off as long as I can, but you know how it works. Just get your ass over here. Waterman's on my dick already."
"Sounds unpleasant." Luke chuckled under his breath. "Does that surprise you?"
"Not really."
Didn't surprise Luke either. Their division chief within Interpol Art Crimes was all about the high profile cases. Art, jewelry, anyone with a Lord or Lady attached to their name. Even the odd Sir here and there. Cases like that were good press for the agency, he always said. Probably more like good for getting his face on the camera. Waterman was a media whore extraordinaire. Usually Luke didn't care, but when they were in the middle of trying to open a case, it kind of pissed him off.
Luke felt it would be better to deal with the press after they had some solid leads, or, you know, someone in custody, but far be it for him to correct Waterman. He'd spent the last eight years trying to overcome the hereditary American-ness Waterman deemed a deep character flaw. If he started correcting the guy now, he might as well sign his own pink slip.
"I can be there in fifteen minutes. Waterman won't even be done fixing his hair for the cameras," Luke told Rob. He was already in his suit pants and shaking out his dress shirt. It felt a little stale from a long day, but he wasn't going to put on a new one for a late evening call. If all went well, Luke would be back in his sweats and on his couch in less than an hour.
"Try to make it ten. I'm not in the mood to get my skin pulled off a strip at a time."
He sounded like his typical sarcastic self, but the tone of his friend's voice was different. Worried, maybe. "What's going on, Rob? What are you leaving out?"
"There's something weird about this one. Might cause us a lot of shit in the near future if I'm right."
"Are you going to tell me or play guessing games?" Luke wasn't in the mood to play anything. All he wanted to do was eat some still-warm pizza, crawl into bed, and sleep for days—or at least until his alarm went off at six. He'd gotten way too little sleep lately. He hadn't gotten enough sleep in years.
Rob cleared his throat nervously. "You need to see this for yourself. Just get here, man."
Luke disconnected the call. He finished dressing, shoved one piece of his pizza on a paper towel, and grabbed his keys. He could eat it on the way without ruining his suit. Even if he spilled, fuck it. Luke wasn't going to sacrifice one more decent dinner to the cause.
It had rained earlier, and the London streets were still slick and dark, half frozen in the early spring chill, but at least it was quiet. The air was close to freezing, too. Unseasonably low temps, but sadly not by much. After all the years he'd been in London, the winters still got to him, cold and wet, the kind that seemed to creep all the way into the center of his chest—nothing like his childhood home in South Carolina or even Virginia, where he'd lived and worked his first few years out of the academy. Sometimes Luke missed the old optimistic years at Quantico. These days it seemed like the cold was impossible to shake. It seeped into his bones and camped out until nothing he did could warm him through.
I'm getting old.
The stone row houses slipped past, nestled together, dark on the outside like everything else, interiors shining and cheery against the insidious, creeping chill. Everyone who knew better was inside somewhere, enjoying dinner, relaxing with the people they loved. They didn't look alone. He'd figured long ago his hopes for being one of them had probably passed. Luke loved his job, it was his life, but some nights he wouldn't mind a break. Luke bypassed their unit's Westminster offices in favor of going straight to the scene. He didn't need anything but what he had on him. Hopefully he'd be in and out in time for the late news.

I'm Mj O'Shea 🙂 I grew up, and still live, in sunny Washington state and while I love to visit other places, I can't imagine calling anywhere else home.
I spent my childhood writing stories. Sometime in my early teens, the stories turned to romance. Most of those were about me, my friends, and our favorite movie and pop stars. Hopefully, I've come a long way since then.
When I'm not writing, I love to play the piano, dance, cook, paint pictures, and of course read! I like sparkly girly girl things, own at least twenty different colored headbands, and I have two little dogs who sit with me when I write. Sometimes they comes up with ideas for me too…when they're not busy napping.

AARP Saved My Relationship - A post for the future me

Damn I don't know what to say about that as I ain't there yet (keeping the spark thingy...uh...sparking). But I have now begun to wonder about the sanity of people writing articles on the net. Damn. I depend on these people for advice...

Are you sure the "continue to date..." advice didn't mean "continue to date the person you're have a relationship with"? Dating someone else sounds way too energetic for the over 55s.

I think this is what led me to humor writing. When I tried to be serious, I was just as full of shit as when I wrote humor. All writing is bullshit, from The Today Show all the way down to . . . well . . . me. I love it. Takes the pressure off.

26 years together 14 of them married I put the success down to
1) Lot of laughing together
2) No children
3) a lot in commom
4) still retain our own interests
5) No children
6) resepect for each other
7) No children
8) making good use of our time at the weekend - beacuse did I mention no children....
Ok it's not for everyone and it probably helps that Mrs B has a good career but in an already over populated world it's a shame that more people don't buck the pressure of society to reproduce like rabbits....

No kidding! My tenant gets things from them all the time and he just turned 29. I am a little jealous really.
Having kids isn't necessarily for everyone that's for sure. I think you'll see more people choosing not to have children as the economy continues to worsen.

every time ive read one of those Cosmo-like "keep the spark alive" articles (not that i read those mags, mind you... i'm all MAN, baby!), i cant help but notice what a general load of crap they all are. no real useful info at all.

Where are the tips on spanking? Where are the tips on bondage? Where are the tips on where and how to apply that sparkly body make up? Where is the discussion of the best toys in the business and how to use them? AARP is being ridiculous. Keep dating.
- August 12, 2011 at 12:24 PM
- Angie said...
I KNOW! Ok so I'll help you out. With spanking other S&M practices... pick a safe word. Try to avoid using the word "more". Best toys, Eden Fantasys. Sparkly body makeup- Tell him to use his hands. Bondage- Might I recommend scarves, nylon rope, and ankle/wrist cuffs. (Or so I'm told... I read a lot ya know).

Full spectrum lighting is creating a buzz in the sewing community. It is the best simulation of daylight available, reducing eye fatigue. It is also known as true color lighting because it is true clear light which does not distort color.
I am a 46 yr old mother and grandmother who sews. I have a room, fabric, and machine, but can't seem to get organized enought to produce, I have colorectal cancer, and am on chemo. I am alone and my children do not live close. Could you please help me with some ideas that do not require money, I am doing this to try to make money for my medicine and other daily needs.
Thanks charlotte

It appears as if our old friend, Nintendo, is trying to jump ahead of the competition. Many online sources reference "Project Cafe" as the codename for Nintendo's next gaming system. IGN is reporting of a new CPU that is superior to that in the Xbox 360, and a GPU superior to the PS3's.
Project Cafe, or the Wii 2 as some call it, is rumored to have two different kinds of controllers. One of which is supposed to have a 4" touch screen display in the middle of it (other sources say up to 6.2"). The folks over at IGN have made a concept design of the controller. The other controller is to be in the same style of the Wii.
With the hardware advances we're looking at, we should expect the console to cost somewhere in the $350 to $400 range. Nintendo may be trying to break away from some of the pre-conceived notions that people have about them nowadays. Most people refer to the Wii as being a casual game console. Nintendo may be trying to win back some of the fans that left them for a more "hard core" gaming experience.
The earliest we could see Nintendo's next console could be by the end of this year. It may be more likely that we see it sometime early in 2012. Only time will tell. Old-School Nintendo fanboys rejoice!

Here is an easy pattern to follow when creating lesson plans for reading texts in reading class as well as other content areas.
The ABCS will help you remember what to include.
ccessing prior knowledge
Help students draw upon what they already know about the topic to be studied
uilding vocabulary
Teachers preview the text and select important vocabulary words and present them to students prior to reading
onstructing Meaning
Students understand the literal meaning of the text and can also infer meaning from what is not written
ummarizing and Starting new ideas
(see next page)
ABCS of Reading
Group Summarizing
A strategy to help you plan for the S in the ABCS of Reading
(adapted from Billmeyer 2006)
Practical Ideas
Here are some ideas for using the Group Summarizing strategy in your IE Time
Summarizing and Starting New Ideas
Students are asked to find main ideas in a text. When learning to do this, the teacher will need to help students determine what is important in the text.
Starting New Ideas
When appropriate, students are also given a task to react to the text personally. They can think about what they have read and what that new knowledge means to them. For example, students could relate the text to an experience they had or they could share an opinion of an idea found in the text.
focus on
Group Summarizing
The ABCS of Reading
Simplified instructions
for teaching reading.
1) Read the text yourself
2) Choose 2-4 important categories that you want students to learn about as they read
3) List the ideas on a class chart
4) Students read the text alone or with a partner
5) Along with class discussion, students write ideas on the chart in the appropriate category
6) As a class write a summary of at least one of the categories in order to model how to write a summary
7) Students write their own summaries of the remaining categories and share them with the class
Use this strategy on the same day each week. Students will become proficient with the strategy when used consistently but too much use may lead to lack of engagement.
Find texts that can be connected over several weeks. Summarize the information each week and also show how they connect as a whole. See examples below:
Find texts on major events in American History. Use Group Summarizing each week and also build a timeline in your classroom so students can place the events on a timeline and see how each event relates to the others.
Find texts on different parts in the body. Use Group Summarizing each week and also display a drawing of a human body and add the organ you read about each week to the drawing.
How about you? Can you share a way you could incorporate this strategy into your IE Time?

Good summary
Honeybees pollinate flowers when they are collecting nectar. They use the nectar to make honey. They also build honeycomb. Different honeybees have different jobs.

wear clothes that protect
pump smoke
Beekeepers put up a hive. They pump smoke and wear clothes that protect them when they are taking out the frames from the hives. The frames go into machines that separate the honey from the beeswax. Beekeepers then sell the honey and wax.
Further Resources for Summarizing and Reading
Why Teach Summarizing?
We know high schools and colleges are seeing students plagiarize.
If we teach elementary students how to summarize, we will hopefully combat cheating in higher education.
As early as first or second grade, students need to know that the word for stealing another's words and ideas is plagiarism, and it's wrong (Mitchell 2007).
Common Core Standards for Reading include the following for 2nd grade:
Identify the main topic of a multiparagraph text as well as the focus of specific paragraphs within the text (Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction 2011).
Have You Been Listening?
What should the teacher do to prepare for the Group Summarizing strategy?
What errors should teachers look for when students are summarizing?

Dehydrating rhubarbFriday, June 26th, 2015
I'd acquired a dehydrator earlier in the year and this is the first time I've used it.
I picked some very thin stems and bought them in as well as a bigger fatter stem. I tried to get all pink stems. Washed and sliced thinly they were laid out on the trays and the machine was switched on. I left it for about 6 hours. The pieces were all dry apart from some much fatter pieces I'd left deliberately larger. These were very soft on the outside and juicy and reminded me of a caterpillar to be honest. They wouldn't store long. Unlike the small pieces that were dried rock solid.
It is like eating flavoured bark. It does soften after a moment and exuded the intense taste of rhubarb.
I will try it early spring with forced rhubarb which will be more tender and sweet.

Melbourne Victory coach Kevin Muscat says it is now easier for A-League clubs to compete in the AFC Asian Champions League (ACL) compared to his playing days.
Muscat was involved in three ACL campaigns as a player and recalled the difficulties regarding the congestion and clashes with the A-League fixtures.
It was announced earlier in the year that the A-League would have two split rounds to better accommodate teams competing in the tournament.
Victory's clash with Brisbane Roar in Round 20 and the Melbourne Derby in Round 22 are part of the split rounds.
Muscat said he was pleased with drawing Kawasaki Frontale and Ulsan Hyundai in their group.
"Back then (when I played), the competition was hard enough as it was and there were so many other obstacles that made it an unfair fight," Muscat said on Thursday.
"The FFA have given it a lot of thought in meetings we've had in the past and I'm glad they've got to the point now where it's a lot better than it has been in the past.
"Now we've got to the point where the football has improved dramatically and we're getting a lot more support with the logistics.
"It's not perfect, but if we compare it to what has been dealt up in the past, it's a significant improvement.
"If we look at other competitions, some of them get the weekend off and they cancel games if it's too tight to give them preparation.
"We've got a couple of those opportunities where we don't have games on the weekend, so it's beneficial and evens things up a little bit."
It will be Victory's sixth appearance in the competition after they broke their own record in their last campaign in 2016, where they reached the Round of 16 for the first time.
The Victory boss said he hoped there would be more interest in the ACL, which has struggled to attract crowds in the past.
"I don't think people discriminate on the actual competition, I think midweek football has been a tough sell and that's even when the A-League games were on," he said.
"This is our sixth attempt and we feel we've got to the point now where we really want to give it a good crack.
"Hopefully there is enough media and people educated on the competition that we'll be supported well this time round."
Victory may well need to get the ball rolling in the A-League before the ACL as they sit sixth on the table with no wins at home this season.
They lock horns with Adelaide United on Friday night at Etihad Stadium and welcome back Mark Milligan from suspension.
Victory came back from two goals down to beat Wellington Phoenix 3-2 away last week.
"Adelaide had some issues as well keeping people fit and having the same XI out," Muscat said.
"They had a good run in the cup, from what we saw at the start of the season, they were fairly direct in their approach and had some good structure around.
"In recent weeks they've tried to keep the ball and play out a bit more and be a bit more patient. They've certainly got some threats and good structure when they get the ball into your front third."

The King has finally returned to kick ass and chew bubblegum…and he's all out of bubblegum! Celebrating the anniversary of the revolutionary first-person shooter, Gearbox Publishing have announced Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary Edition World Tour alongside a first teaser trailer.
This anniversary edition will feature all the glory of the 1996 classic game with additional, never-before-seen content. An all-new episode will feature, containing eight original levels created by original Duke Nukem 3D designers Allen Blum III and Richard "Levelord" Gray. Players will be able to toggle between the original 1996 graphics engine or in real time play with the original content, rendered to high fidelity and frame rates with the new "True3D Rendering" mode.
"When I first moved out to Texas to join the Duke Nukem 3D development team in the mid-nineties, I could not possibly predict that we were all going to be part of the emergence of the 3D First Person videogame genre that would ultimately impact the entire videogame industry," said Gearbox President Randy Pitchford. "Making it possible, for Allen, Richard, Lee and Jon to all come back together 20 years later to bring a whole new episode to the classic game is just one of those rare and incredible things that I hope will bring joy and happiness to hardcore videogame fans new and old."
"So what are we waiting for? Christmas?" Hell no! Prepare to come get some on October 11, 2016 when Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary Edition World Tour releases on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. Ready yourself for the upcoming alien invasion, and as Duke would say, "Nobody jacks with our independence!"
