M5 Mile Artists: Bryan Hancox
MADE is delighted to announce the M5 Mile team have now commissioned 5 artists to work on our special takeover day on July 16th.
The aim of the commission is to give the smallest of flavour of what a place which is 'taken-over' by creative communities may look like, it will temporarily enliven and animate the space, be an exemplar, an inspiration, a curiosity which will provide a snapshot of potential of forgotten, neglected and unused spaces.
The artists brief is simply to respond to the site. On the day their work will be documented through photography and video and this will be exhibited around the region at a later date.
We will be featuring each of the artists in turn. Here we look at Bryan Hancox:
Bryan Hancox is a recent graduate from the University of Worcester with a BA Hons in Animation, his main practice being an Animator and Story Artist with a background in Illustration and Graphic Design. Aspiring to be an Animation Director, he is inspired by such people as Genndy Tartakovsky, Mike Mignola, Ryan Gillis, Alex Toth and much more.
Animation is a technique in cinema that spans many different styles and ways of which to bring forth the illusion of life, so he uses varying techniques to what suits the project. As frontman of a heavy metal band, he has also been commissioned to illustrate, design for other bands that he has encountered during gigs and more recently been commissioned for music videos. At university, he has been able to work on a variety of live briefs with some extending to CAMHS.
Bryan will be utilising the space to its full potential, he would like to use his skills as an Animator to create a short story through the techniques of stop-motion and pixilation, inspired by the experimental animator Jan Svankmajer, the more contemporary illustrator Kristián Mensa and 2d Animator/Story Artist Hombre McSteez.
The outcome will be a short animation of a minute to 2 minutes in length dependent on the time made and possible scenes cut. The initial idea is to use the motorway as a set to a story about a Troll that lives under the M5, giving a fantasy element to a modern day setting.

Things are definitely looking up in my recovery. I feel like I turned a corner this week, and that there is light at the end of this tunnel I've been in. Doc said everything "looks good" and I'm cleared to return to work on 9/11 (that date always makes me stop in my tracks!). He gave me a low dose of estrogen to take, and I am happy to say that I have had no hot flashes since, thank God. I still have tinges of pain, especially when I twist the wrong way...it feels like I'm pulling stitches internally-yikes!
The thing I am battling now more than anything is insomnia. I can't fall asleep until 11:30pm. Then every night, without fail, I wake up at 2:30am. I watch tv for an hour, and then go back to sleep. It seems like my deepest sleep is between 5 & 7am...which isn't helpful when I am soon to be getting up at 5:30am again. grrrr! Now I know why there is so much marketing of sleep aids, because there are probably millions of people in the extremely frustrating position of not being able to sleep. It is not only an inconvenience, it is a major health issue.
I still have to take it easy and off my feet so much, hence the multiple blog posts...not much else I can do yet. Oh, and I no longer have to use the Wal-Mart motorized scooter to shop! Progress...yipee!
I am amazed at how the body heals itself. In one month, I have experienced going from being cut open to now walking and functioning again. I am experiencing the miracle of healing, and I am grateful for it.

The Boston Red Sox's lineup is intimidating from top to bottom, but what they're doing out of the No. 9 spot in the order actually is better than any team in Major League Baseball.
While the last batter typically is a team's worst hitter, the Red Sox's definition of "worst hitter" just happens to be great. And with Andrew Benintendi becoming the latest player to slot into Boston's No. 9 spot, that fact still remains true. Boston's ninth hitters have accumulated a .286 average and .782 OPS, both the best in baseball and well above the league's .208 and .574 averages.
Red Sox manager John Farrell talked about this Sunday before Boston's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Fenway Park. Check out what he said on "Red Sox First Pitch" in the video above.

Welcome to The Fierce 50
I am thrilled to introduce you to a new movement. It's a new force in the social media, blogging, and the fashion industry, The Fierce 50 Campaign (#thefierce50). TODAY, 50 fabulous women, fashion, style, and lifestyle bloggers, all in their 50s are coming together. We're collaborating, highlighting, and honoring each other as we celebrate and raise awareness about our impact in the world. Why today? Because it's the 50th day of the year. 😉 So advertisers, brands, and the world it's time to wake up and take notice!
As women in our second life we're all about rebirth and rejuvenation. We, The Fierce 50, through our lived experiences have tremendous strength and power. We represent a collective wisdom and grace that's too often overlooked. I talked about this in my Huffington Post articles 50, Curvy & Fabulous and The Return of the Invisible Woman. Now the movement is here.
Meet Fashion, Trends, and Friends!
To reinforce our collective spirit our organizer paired us up to connect and introduce each other to our readers. I have the privilege of introducing you to the ladies behind Fashion Trends & Friends – Lori McCaffrey, Julie Augustyn, and Cindy Thomas. You'll WANT to get to know the force behind Fashion Trends and Friends. FTF was created by these three life-long friends who love to shop together and follow fashion. Their mission was to create an online community of friends. A place for women to find clothing options, outfits that are on trend, flattering, age appropriate and minimize problem areas. They provide women stylish fashion inspiration featuring the season's trends for all body types – all in one spot. A needed voice and perspective in the world of fashion particularly in today's busy, fast-paced world. Fashion Trends and Friends is a GREAT resource for quickly finding that perfect outfit for any season.
Julie, Cindy and Lori met at Northern Illinois University their freshman year in college and quickly became "forever friends." I went to school not too far from these beauties at Loyola University of Chicago on the North Shore of Chicago, Illinois. Now powerhouse women in their 50s, the FTF crew have successful careers in business and education. They're married with children and stepchildren and live full and very busy lives. Julie and Lori live in suburbs of Chicago while Cindy now lives in Tucson.
Although the ladies at FTF love their day jobs, after a discussion around the challenges they, and so many other women were facing around aging, they decided to start a blog. Wanting to remain fashionable, hip, cool and on trend and age appropriate while dealing with thickening middles and varicose veins, they created Fashion Trends and Friends.
FTF The Movement
For a little under one year, these ladies have been diligently growing their followers, engaging their fans, and building loyalty among their tribe. The key they believe to their instant success…relatability. Like the lives of their readers, the ladies lives are hectic as they often find themselves running around constantly trying to do it all and get it all done in 24 hour period.
The FTF blog gives women a place to go to learn about current trends and receive help in finding those things that are both flattering to and camouflaging those problem areas. They also provide great tips on where to buy them! Since Julie, Cindy and Lori represent three different body types and have three distinct styles, all with curves, they're able to provide a variety of insight that will appeal to a variety of women.
The key to the FTF blog is first and foremost friendship. It's clear that the ladies love each other and genuinely enjoy spending time together. They're pretty funny and easily crack each other up particularly when shopping together, which with their current living situation they don't get to do as often as we'd like. In the end, FTF desires to share their friendship and love of fashion with others while building an online community of women who want to do the same. I say brava to these beautiful and dynamic women!
You can find them at their website Fashion, Trends, and Friends as well as their social media channels Facebook, Instagram , or Pinterest.

Our skilled dentist, Dr. Smith, originated the "Male Smile" to provide the men of our community with increased confidence and healthier teeth. To ensure our patients receive the results they desire, Dr. Smith and Dr. Carrell listen carefully to their needs and preferences.
First impressions can go a long way in helping you build your career and navigate social circles. Men with white, aesthetically shaped smiles have an increased advantage when interviewing for jobs and seeking promotions. With the assistance of our dental office, your first impression can be lasting.
Dr. Smith developed the "Male Smile" to improve teeth and facial appearance. A strong, attractive smile can be more effective than a facelift for many patients. During your personal consultation, our dentists will evaluate your current state of health and address any risky habits, such as tooth grinding, that could affect your results. Some physical aspects our dentists will consider are:
- Bone structure of the cheeks and jaw
- Soft tissue structure of the gums, lips, and complexion
- Teeth grinding that could result in short teeth and a collapsed jaw
- Turned up and turned down smiles
- Tooth color in relation to the complexion
- Translucency for a natural smile
- Appropriate tooth length
The philosophy at the practice of Bruce W. Smith, DDS is to plan your treatments with individualized care to encourage the best possible results. We include your opinion in each phase of treatment and promote patient education so that you can achieve a healthy, attractive smile for a lifetime.

Will Raising Tuition Scare Families Away?
Vol. 16 No. 6
When asked if increasing tuition scares away current and prospective families, many school administrators might be tempted to respond with a resounding "Yes!"
But our latest findings show that's not necessarily the case. ISM, Measuring Success, and the National Business Officers Association (NBOA) recently collaborated on the third iteration of a study initiated in 2006 to study the impact of tuition increases on private-independent school enrollment.
The collaborators examined data from 259 schools of all types, grade levels, sizes, locations, and affiliations in North America. The findings from this study echo those found in 2006 and 2011—There is no measurable relationship between increases in tuition and subsequent changes in enrollment.
In fact, the study found quite the opposite. If a school can demonstrate increased value to students and their families through better delivery of the school's mission, a tuition increase is seen as a worthwhile investment.
For schools on the higher and lower ends of the spectrum (more than $25,000 per year and less than $15,000 per year, respectively), increased tuition had no effect on enrollment or retention.
Mid–range school enrollment showed inconsistent outcomes, ranging from flat enrollment to 3% increases in enrollment and retention, depending on how much tuition increased. And there was no correlation between how much financial aid a school offers and the effect of tuition increases on enrollment.
There will always be outliers and your school may have experienced something different than what these results found.
But the overall trending data shows that focusing on the quality of the education provided and what the school needs to do to deliver that quality should be the primary concern of today's private-independent school, even if that means slight tuition increases.
Read the report, Effects of Tuition Increases on Enrollment Demand, for the complete findings.

After a near-record deluge that shut down Chicago-area train lines and expressways--overwhelming streets and sewers as far away as DeKalb County--thousands of residents spent Saturday bailing out flooded basements and poring over damage that officials estimated to be in the millions.
The rainfall, reaching as high as 7.89 inches in Oak Park in less than 24 hours, created gridlock on normally quiet suburban streets, prompted the evacuation of a nursing home and caused several public safety scares, though no fatalities, officials said.
Areas of Westchester and Hillside along Roosevelt Road appeared to suffer the most damage. Westchester officials declared a state of emergency Saturday while rescue workers waded door-to-door and traveled the streets by boat to rescue nearly 60 people from stranded cars and waterlogged homes.

St Mary's is a Fairtrade Church.
What is Fairtrade?
The FAIRTRADE Mark is an independent consumer label which appears on products as a guarantee that disadvantaged producers are getting a better deal. The first Fairtrade certified product Green & Black's Maya Gold Chocolate made with cocoa from Belize was launched in 1994, shortly followed by Cafédirect coffee and Clipper tea.
Today, more than 5 million people - farmers, workers and their families - across 49 developing countries benefit from the international Fairtrade system. The Fairtrade Foundation is an independent certification body that awards the FAIRTRADE Mark to products which meet international Fairtrade standards.
An ever-growing number of retail products now carry the FAIRTRADE Mark, including coffee, tea, cocoa, chocolate, snacks and biscuits, sugar, honey, fruit juice, fresh fruit, wine and sports balls.
Find out more about Fairtrade
What is a Fairtrade Church?
The Fairtrade Churches movement started in May 2004 and the idea has quickly gained popularity among churches of different denominations across the country and there are now over 1000 churches signed up to the scheme run by the Fairtrade Foundation.
Becoming a Fairtrade Church involved successfully fulfilling the three essential requirements of serving Fairtrade tea and coffee at all our meetings, making a commitment to using other Fairtrade products such as sugar, biscuits and fruit, and promoting Fairtrade during Fairtrade Fortnight and through other activities.
What does St Mary's do to support Fairtrade?
In addition to the essential requirements above we run regular fairtrade stalls after church services and at our events. We hold Fairtrade Breakfasts where we offer a range of breakfast cereals, fruit and juices to raise awareness of the Fairtrade options available. We take an active part in Fairtrade Fortnight and promote Fairtrade.
Would you like to get involved?
Nicola Simpson co-ordinates our Fairtrade work. Helpers are always welcome. If you would like to get involved in any of our Fairtrade work, please contact Nicola on 01904 763405 or email Nicola Simpson

Year's end comes on the wings of a chattering jay and a cawing crow, and a wind that rustles the sere oak leaves in the star-glimmered night. The jay chatters of short Winter days, and the crow caws of the long Winter nights. And the wind's song is the song of time, of the years, the endless round of years. ~Hal Borland (1900–1978), "The Song of Time," 1945 December 31st

Bubba Starling turned 21 last August. He has played in only 178 games as a professional baseball player, and taken only 730 at-bats. The Royals cannot even determine his timetable for a major-league arrival, general manager Dayton Moore suggested on Monday, until he receives 800 to 1,000 more at-bats. That means two more seasons of evaluation — if Starling can avoid injury and the other pitfalls awaiting young players.
"He's still a puppy," Moore said. "He's very young."
But a trio of factors make Starling prominent for the fanbase: He grew up in nearby Gardner. He was a three-sport star who turned down a football scholarship to Nebraska. After the Royals picked him fifth in the 2011 draft, Starling received a $7.5 million signing bonus.
Of course, you know all this. But Moore would like the fans to remember the team placed a long-term bet on Starling, one they don't expect to cash in on any time soon. He will begin this season in Class A Wilmington in the Carolina League. In the lower-level South Atlantic League in 2013, Starling batted .241 with 13 homers, 21 doubles and a .727 OPS. He struck out in more than 25 percent of his at-bats.
The Royals understood this might happen. Starling did not play the game full-time in high school. A hitter can only rise to his level of competition, Moore explained.
But Starling's profile around the game has taken a hit. In 2012, Baseball Prospectus ranked him No. 27 among the game's top 101 prospects. In 2013, he fell to No. 49. This year, he was not on the list.
For now, Moore indicated the club has little worry about Starling as a defender.
"He can play center field as good as anybody in the game, right now, today," he said.
In that vein, Moore threw out an interesting name as comparison.
"What, did Torii Hunter spend six years in the minor leagues?"
Indeed. Hunter rose through the Minnesota system during that amount of time. He also made his professional debut at 17. Starling played his rookie season as a 19-year-old. He is still several years away. But the Royals front office has yet to lose confidence in him.
"He's going to have to go through a lot of the challenges, and face some good pitching," Moore said. "We'll have a better feel for Bubba's timeline after about 800 to 1,000 more at-bats."

MeNow eye and pencil set comes in a very simple plastic beg and includes 12 pencils 1,1 g / 0,038 oz each. It is a regular pencil, which you need to sharp manually. I actually prefer to use them, because I can decide by myself how sharp and what shape I want for my pencils :) Though some girls find regular eye and lip pencils not economical. Also MeNow's pencils have a very tight cover, which is a great con for those who are as clumsy as me. I'm sure I will never loose any of these covers :3
Each colour of eye/lip pencils has it's number and here is my little description for every shade:
001 - matte black;
006 - middle brown (red undertone) ;
016 - light brown (yellow undertone)
019 - fuchsia color;
022 - dark terracotta;
028 - bright red (pink undertone) ;
033 - matte white;
034 - grey silver (frost finish);
035 - navy blue;
036 - sky blue;
038 - fresh green with frosty finish;
040 - goldish olive with frosty finish.
So most of the pencils are matte, I have just few frosty shades in the set. They are all well pigmented and I can say they are easy to work with. The only problematic pencil for me is white, I just wish it was more creamy than hard, so I can use it on the waterline. On the other hand hard pencil stays longer on it's place and don't smudge during the day. I also like that all of these pencils have triple function. As I understand they are suitable for eyes, lips and eyebrows. You can use them anywhere you want. The only thing I would change in this pencil set is color selection. I would substitute few browns with purple or baby pink shades.
I think MeNow eye and lip pencils set is a very good budget variant for beginner makeup artist. So many different pencils to play with for a very cheap price. Unfortunately I didn't find a link to buy exactly the same pencil set as I have, but you can buy almost the same colours here in travel size or in automatic pencil design. Thank you to stay with me ladies, I wish you all to have a good time. Kisses!
Lots of love,

Hey, language teachers. You probably know it already, but do you want to know what the biggest well-known secret about foreign language learners is? They all want to be fluent!
Do you know who else wants language learners to be fluent? Employers! Not to forget universities and colleges where fluency in a language is often a basic requirement. Yes, fluency is important, and it can be incredibly frustrating for teachers if their students do not understand its importance.
So, how do you motivate a student to learn the importance of fluency in a target language? If you're unsure, here's a little activity you might find helpful.
Fluency Circles
Fluency Circles is an entertaining activity that involves moving around and interacting, while utilizing the target language classmates and improving their fluency skills.
To prepare, create a list of questions, photocopy them and cut them into sentence strips.
When ready, divide the class into two equal groups. Then instruct the groups to form two concentric circles with one inside the other. Students in the inner circle are given the sentence strips and stay put, while students in the outter circle rotates and answers the questions. This process is repeated four times. The group answering gets to add extra information each time they are asked a question, enabling students to be creative, gain confidence speaking and listen to the tones of voice of different people. The groups then switch places, so all students get a chance to ask and answer the questions.
You can explain the instructions by using a diagram, so students clearly understand they need to form the circles, or you could even ask some of your students to help demonstrate the activity before the start of the class.
Ultimately, the questions you choose depend on the topic you cover in class, but you can also use it to practice grammar, punctuation or vocularly. As we were covering health, I used questions, such as:
- What are you doing to stay in shape?
- Do you and your friends care about your weight?
- How much water do you drink every day?
- What is a good sport to keep in shape?
For more advanced students, you can get students to create questions beforehand, and then have a competition to vote on who had the best answer.
This activity has proved very successful. Students enjoy the interaction, but also understand the importance of practicing their English to develop fluency. The activity, therefore, fulfills the class objective.
If you want to practice your English fluency, try out ACTIVATE ENGLISH on the Laureate Global Portal. You can learn more about the Laureate Languages products by visiting the Laureate Network Office website. Mario Rodriguez, an EFL teacher at UNITEC Honduras in San Pedro Sula, will soon be "profiled" on Laureate Connect – watch this space!

Social Media: Do You Really Need To Have A WordPress Blog?
So you're wondering if you should go to all the trouble to set up a WordPress blog on your website. Is it worth the bother?
Are you just going to get sucked into some blog quicksand that is the suck hole for your time and doesn't produce any real monetizable leads?
Well if you're wondering whether or not you should put a WordPress blog on your site my answer would be:
Yes. You should put a WordPress blog on your site.
Many of us were hoping this whole social media thing would just go away, but it's here to stay. Google is now basing more and more of its rankings on social media and that is going to continue to be the trend in the future.
So, if you want to rank well in the search engines, you should go ahead and get that WordPress blog set up on your site.
Put at least several informative blog posts on your blog, and if you never do any more than that, at least you have a blog in your site and you won't be a dinosaur anymore.
I would recommend setting up a Google alerts for keywords in your industry. Google alerts is a free service provided by Google that lets you know when people are discussing things that are of interest to you. You can select the blog option.
This will tell you who is blogging in your industry and what they are saying.
Then you can quickly join in the conversation if you like. Make some friendly educational comments. Don't try to sell anything, just be conversational and helpful.
When you make these comments, you have a chance to enter in your website address, and you get credit for a link back to your website.
As you do this for say, 1 to 3 hours a week, these links start to add up and you start to get better social signals for your website with Google.
This will help Google like your website more and rank it higher in the search engine rankings.
Another good idea is to use Google's free keyword tool (https://adwords.google.com/o/KeywordTool).
You can use this keyword tool to research what the popular keyword phrases are for your potential customers. Type in your favorite keywords and find out what people are actually typing into the search engines.
Take several of these keyword phrase results (preferably the most popular ones) and use them as your blog post titles if you can.
It's not uncommon for Google to rank blog post titles on their first page of search engine results.
This can give you some nice free traffic from potential customers to your website.
So I've given you two good reasons for you to start your WordPress blog (better rankings for your website and possible free first page of Google rankings for your blog posts). And that doesn't even take into account the potential networking aspect of blogging.
You might be surprised. Blogging may just end up being fun and profitable.

Wednesday, June 18, 2008
There is some good news in my life. My Mom got released from the hospital yesterday. She is expected to make a full recovery. I try to take comfort in that, but I can't. I try to be grateful for what I do have, a wonderful husband, my family, my dogs, my job, etc., but I can't. I feel nothing but despair, and I hate that.
You ladies have all been so wonderful and supporting and I know I'm lucky to have you, even if I don't feel particularly lucky right now.

Normal is going to be hard to come by for a little while, but you'll start feeling better soon. Remember, a lot of this is emotional, and you've had a big shock. But some of this is hormonal as well. The hormone crash after a miscarraige is no joke. So when that eases off, you'll feel better even though you're still grieving.
If you can afford the leave, I would take the whole week off. Take time to do things you like, like seeing movies, or driving through some pretty areas, or going to museums. Something low-key, where you can stop and cry when you want to without worrying what anyone will think.
I know you want this to be over. Believe me, I really do know. But try to give yourself some time. You need it more than you can imagine. Be kind to yourself, and let yourself heal at your own pace.
Take care, honey. I'll be thinking about you.

When I want to escape a movie really does the trick. Also, it's so early to be trying to get back to normal. I know what it is to wake up and suddenly remember..I know what to is to hate being in your own skin. Do what you have to do right now to get through the day..the hour even. What happened is totally horrible, unfair, devastating. Take care of yourself and don't push yourself to be over it so fast. Thinking of you.

Both Babychaser and Amber make great points and I agree with everything they said. I know what it's like to grieve; it is the hardest thing I've ever done. There's a famous saying that goes something like, "The quickest way to the other side is through" and I think this is so true when it comes to grief. There's just no getting away from it. We'll be here with you the entire way, though.
Big hugs to you.

I was totally shocked after my ectopic too. I was numb for days. I couldn't shake out of the depair I was feeling - I just slept for 2 days. And then I went to work the next week - I was a wreck.
It's totally normal. Your rational mind is telling you that this happens to everyone. But your heart yelling THIS SUCKS! And it does. Take the time to heal. The sadness, while normal, will pass... and remember, your hormones need to stablize too. I know once my HCG was back to zero - I really did feel better.

I am so glad your mom's recovering nicely. But you are still hurting, and normalcy probably won't re-enter your life for awhile. Know that we are all here for you. I'm sending you lots and lots of hugs!!
- June 20, 2008 at 9:46 PM
- Baby Step said...
You need to let the natural process take place -- don't be so hard on yourself if you don't feel "normal" right away. Even someone strong like yourself needs to give in to the grief and emotion you are going through. Take it slow. It is going to take some time. I am so sorry you have to go through this. ((((HUGS))))

I've been incredibly fortunate lately in receiving requests from very wonderful and dedicated sites all wanting to be featured in my Writer's Resource section. Some requests haven't meshed well with the message of my site (writing/publishing) and I've had to respectfully decline, but I hadn't even thought about offering information on the ins and outs of blogging until I received a request from firstsiteguide.com.
After spending a little time on their site, I couldn't remember why I hadn't included blogging in the first place. One of the most informative and user-friendly sites I've had the pleasure of encountering, it's my great honor to make them the first official blogging resource. If you're considering blogging, just starting out, or even a seasoned veteran, they have a wealth of information they can offer. Check them out, you won't regret it. I've spent the past 30 minutes getting to know them, and I already feel like I've learned a couple of things. A great resource and partner, you can reach them here:

Hear from some of our clients
Zac and Brist have made our lives so much easier. We tried other custom manufactures in the past, but nothing has come close to the quality of product and customer service of Brist. They made it possible to develop products and materials specific to our needs that exceeded our expectations. We feel that clear communication is the key to developing new products and Brist makes it extremely easy to bring what we envision to life.
Jeff Ladra – Pladra
They're true professionals in every sense of the word. They are helpful throughout the design and ordering process, dynamic and flexible with order adjustments, reasonable and open to conversations surrounding pricing options, and (most of all) VERY friendly and helpful. If you're looking for a PARTNER for your custom softgoods/apparel needs, instead of a supplier, look no further. Huge Thanks to Sophia and the entire Brist crew!
Sam Warren – Bumbershoot
- We work with multiple merchandising companies for our various product needs; Brist surpasses them all in customer service, product originality, production time, quality control, and overall communication.
Shannon Runion – 7 Seas Brewing Co.
- From our first meeting until we had their custom flannels on our shelves, interactions with Brist were friendly, collaborative and, ultimately, profitable. Aaron and Brendan were instrumental in the design process, and bent over backwards to realize a beautiful shirt with unique details.
Abil Bradshaw – Pike Brewing Company
- From start to finish Brist was great to work with, helping us navigate a product category that isn't the core of our business, and making it easy to produce a high quality products that we're happy to finally have in our lineup.
Chris Pascucci – Transition Bikes

|"Helping" Daddy fix a broken TV
I was going to write another post specifically for you until 18 months, but 17 months will have to be close enough. I have so much to say to you that you can't really understand yet. This is my way of jotting it down so eventually you will find it.
|You're not going to like when you find this picture on the internet, but come on. Your face is awesome.
You constantly are making Daddy and me laugh. We were told since the wedding that we would have weird kids because both of us are silly, but you definitely broke the mold. Daily we glance over at you playing by yourself and can't help but ask "What are you DOING?" You growl when you get frustrated, squeal and run when you are happy, and sometimes when you get super excited you bonk your head repeatedly on the floor (or back of your chair). You carry toys around in your mouth, particularly sort your puzzle pieces and legos with some unexplainable system, and you surprise us with your antics all. day. long.
You go to bed like a champ. We just give you a pacifier and a burp cloth and your head drops to our shoulder for some sweet snuggles. You're at the point now that when you want to sit on our laps, you just climb on up and plop your cute little behind down. Your absolute favorite is to sit with Daddy when he's at his desk. I think because he's working during the day, you do your best to soak up every minute with him when he comes home.
You have exceeded my expectations when it comes to loving on Monica. She is only 3 months old, so even though she can't play with you yet, you still coo at her in the morning from your crib, take breaks from playing to wave and tell her "hi," and you kiss her head just as much as we do. You've even started bringing her toys and books when she's on the floor near you. I know it's not likely that you'll always be best friends, but I hope you stay close and always have her back. She lights up when you are around her and she loves to watch you entertain.
It's crazy to think that Daddy and I know you better than anyone else in the world right now. Thank you for tolerating my constant kisses and snuggles and hugs... and thank you for giving them back to me now. I hope you always stay weird, even if it's not cool. You are original, special, and 100% unique. I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us. Stay goofy, sweet girl.
...and you're supposed to be napping right now. Please stop yell-singing in your crib and go to sleep.

I am a college student, wife and mother of one pretty amazing toddler. I'm a little ashamed to admit that after high school I completely stopped reading for a couple years… and then my husband was TDY and I was on bed rest. So after exhausting my Netflix queue I decided to give into the hype and read The Hunger Games.
I haven't stopped reading since. After a three-day Hunger Games marathon I realized how much I missed reading and immediately picked up another book, and another and another…. and, yep, you guessed it, another.
So when I'm not playing spending time with my amazing family, or studying or playing housewife my nose is in a book (or nearly pressed to my kindle app on my iPhone- whatever.)

After filing 5 FIRs related to Vyapam scam case, Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) moved Supreme Court today seeking direction for Special Task Force (STF) so that the central agency can keep filing chargesheets even in the cases where investigation are over. The apex court has agreed to hear the concerned plea of CBI on 20 July (Monday). Chief Justice HL Dattu headed three judge bench has also asked the central sleuth agency of serving application copies of the concerned parties. Maninder Singh, CBI's Additional Solicitor General (ASG), told the Supreme Court that it will take them time in transferring over 185 cases from SIT to Central Bureau of Investigation and therefore the state investigating agency be allowed in filing charge sheets in cases where probe is already complete.
With repeated ceasefire violations by Pakistani Rangers at the international border in Jammu and Kashmir, India has lodged strong protest with Pakistani envoy (Pakistan High Commissioner Abdul Basit) in New Delhi. The move comes after a civilian was killed and six injured (including two soldiers) along international border in Jammu which Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit tomorrow. Pakistan has also summoned Indian envoy for lodging protest against alleged 'spy drone' of India in their territory, which Pakistan claims to have shot down. India has rejected the claims and said that they will respond through appropriate diplomatic channels. Intelligence sources claim that police may have shot down Pakistan's own highway patrolling drone (Chinese made DJI Phantom 3) used in their Punjab province. Sources also say that ISI and Pakistani Army are reportedly putting pressure on Nawaz Sharif government for not going ahead with discussions with India.
A panel of Department of Telecom (DoT) has recommended upholding of "the core principles of net neutrality". The panel has made twenty four recommendations and added that the main objective is to make internet free and fair in India. While stressing upon the requirement of adhering to the international best practices on net neutrality, the panel stressed upon formulating an indigenous rational approach that suits specific needs of Indians, keeping in mind the exponential application as well as content growth on internet. DoT panel recommended simultaneous promotion of infrastructure and innovation; facilitating "Universal Broadband", "Quality Broadband", and Affordable Broadband" for Indians; ensuring users' rights; need of separating "network layer" from "application layer"; legitimate traffic management practices; no regulatory oversight for OTT application services, and many more.
Infosys co-founder N R Narayana Murthy has criticised Indian scientific and research community, along with the entire research set up in India, by saying that there has not been any significant "earth shaking" invention in the last 60 years in India that became a household name on a global scale. He went on say that in spite of having intellect as well as energy at par with the students studying in Western universities, the young researchers/scientists have not been able to do "much impactful research work". The legendary industrialist said this while delivering his speech during Indian Institute of Science's convocation at J.N. Tata Auditorium. He highlighted the inventions (Bionic Prostheses, Global Positioning System, Microchip, and others) achieved by the students of MIT and went on to say that they achieved these because of their ability to walk the "untrodden path".
Rajeev Shukla, current Indian Premier League Chairman, has told media that governing committee meeting of the multi-crore cricket league will be held on 19 July 2015 for discussing as well as analysing the verdict given by Justice Lodha Committee. It is learnt that during the coveted meeting a decision may be taken whether to form a group for studying the report and at the same time the ways of implementing it. He also told media that he is currently consulting with the different office bearers on the report given by the concerned committee. Shukla went on to add that he is "in conversation with BCCI Secretary Anurag Thakur" and also met BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmiya to discuss the issue. Reports say Dalmiya is in favour of protecting the cricket league and at the same time protect interests of BCCI as well as the players.
While addressing a summit in Kolkata on "Combating Earthquake Disasters", Shailesh Nayak (Secretary of Ministry of Earth Sciences) said that seismologists, geophysicists, and scientists of India are working on an ambitious project along with the likes of 27 other countries for developing an early-warning system for predicting occurrence of earthquakes. He also said that India is currently planning launch of a satellite by 2019 for tracking the changes that occur on surface of earth, up to the accuracy of few centimeters, before earthquakes. Shailesh Nayak also said that the total number of human casualties can be decreased substantially if a model can be developed successfully through this collaborative approach of 27 countries. He went on to add that deep bore-wells will be dug in seismically-active regions of India and filled with sensors for advanced experiments. Speakers stressed on adherence to "Building Structure Codes" for making buildings quake resistant.
Renowned social activist, Anna Hazare, has announced his plan of launching an indefinite hunger strike on Gandhi Jayanti (2 October 2015) to protest against two main issues. While one of the protest issues will be the new land acquisition bill (which Narendra Modi government is planning to implement), the other is delay in implementation of One Rank One Pension (OROP) scheme for ex-servicemen. Reports say that he will stage his hunger strike programme at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan. The septuagenarian activist had also written to PM Modi earlier, urging him not to pass new ordinance on land acquisition. Hazare also met ex-servicemen at his residence in Maharashtra's Ralegan Siddhi village and reportedly discussed about the ways of taking up the OROP issue with the central government. Hazare's announcement is likely to give impetus to the ongoing protest of ex-servicemen, who are on relay hunger strike since 15 June.
Supreme Court has found the Union Government's Drug Pricing Policy for essential medicines "unreasonable and irrational" and asked the central government to re-examine the concerned policy. Justice TS Thakur headed Supreme Court bench has observed that prices of some medicines are significantly higher (sometimes to the extent of 4,000 per cent) than the prices fixed by certain state governments. SC has categorically asked chemicals and fertilisers ministry to analyse and at the same time explain the reasons why essential medicines' controlled prices have been fixed at higher levels, depriving poor people from accessing essential drugs at affordable prices. Ministry has been asked by SC for passing a reasoned order in coming six months. The SC bench has also asked the NGO - All India Drug Action Network - which filed petition against Drug Price Control Order (DPCO), for making representation to the government.
Arun Jaitley, Union Finance minister, has said that available figures show that manufacturing sector, compared to that of 2014, is reviving currently. He also said that the manufacturing sector will witness higher revival signs in the coming days, owing to the incessant campaign of "Make in India" initiative. Jaitley also pointed out that Indian service sector is growing at double digit figure and vouched for converting surplus manpower into resource. He went on to regard Indian economy as a "bright spot" among global economies in the ongoing modest global growth environment. Finance minister also vouched for the cost advantage India has over other countries, especially the other competitive economies including China where wage rates have more than doubled in the recent past due to shift in their national policy from export led economic growth to consumer goods driven domestic demand growth.
Merchandise export figures of June 2015 show 15.82 per cent contraction when compared with the same period a year back. During June 2014-15, merchandise export (accounting for around 1/5th of $2 trillion Indian economy) was $22.29 billion. National Institute of Public Finance and Policy's economist N.R. Bhanumurthy has regarded 15.82 per cent export contraction, on a year on year basis, as a "sharp decline" and went on to say that continuation of this trend may lead to lower GDP growth rate. June 2015's export figure is the seventh month in a row for export to fall. In spite of import figure falling 13.4 percent in June'15 in comparison to June'14, trade deficit widened from $10.41 billion in May'15 to $10.83 billion in June'15. PM Modi's expectation of reaching 8 per cent this fiscal may witness uphill task if the current sluggish export trend continues, analysts believe.
Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) has said that they have received approval ("Letter of Award") from Kerala Government to develop multi-crore Vizhinjam International Deepwater Seaport project. Reports say that Kerala Government has earmarked the project cost to be Rs 4,089 crore. Gautam Adani-led APSEZ, which has the experience of operating busiest port of the country in Gujarat's Mundra, is expected to commission the project in four years. Adani Group Chairman has said that due to strategic placement of the concerned Kerala port along with closeness to international route, Vizhinjam International Deepwater Seaport has the potential of becoming region's biggest trans-shipment hub. Reports say that currently around 1 million TEUs of Indian cargo are trans-shipped from foreign ports and development of the deepwater seaport in Kerala will help Indian trade by bringing down the cost of shipment significantly.

Probability and Statistics > Regression Analysis > Standard Error of Regression Slope
Standard Error of Regression Slope: Overview
Standard errors for regression are measures of how spread out your y variables are around the mean, μ.The standard error of the regression slope, s (also called the standard error of estimate) represents the average distance that your observed values deviate from the regression line. The smaller the "s" value, the closer your values are to the regression line.
Standard error of regression slope is a term you're likely to come across in AP Statistics. In fact, you'll find the formula on the AP statistics formulas list given to you on the day of the exam.
Standard Error of Regression Slope Formula
SE of regression slope = sb1 = sqrt [ Σ(yi – ŷi)2 / (n – 2) ] / sqrt [ Σ(xi – x)2 ].
The equation looks a little ugly, but the secret is you won't need to work the formula by hand on the test. Even if you think you know how to use the formula, it's so time-consuming to work that you'll waste about 20-30 minutes on one question if you try to do the calculations by hand! The TI-83 calculator is allowed in the test and it can help you find the standard error of regression slope.
Note: The TI83 doesn't find the SE of the regression slope directly; the "s" reported on the output is the SE of the residuals, not the SE of the regression slope. However, you can use the output to find it with a simple division.
Step 1: Enter your data into lists L1 and L2. If you don't know how to enter data into a list, see:TI-83 Scatter Plot.)
Step 2: Press STAT, scroll right to TESTS and then select E:LinRegTTest
Step 3: Type in the name of your lists into the Xlist and Ylist. For example, type L1 and L2 if you entered your data into list L1 and list L2 in Step 1.
Step 4: Select the sign from your alternate hypothesis. For example, select (≠ 0) and then press ENTER.
Step 5: Highlight Calculate and then press ENTER.
Step 6: Find the "t" value and the "b" value. You may need to scroll down with the arrow keys to see the result. For example, let's sat your t value was -2.51 and your b value was -.067.
Step 7: Divide b by t. For this example, -0.67 / -2.51 = 0.027.
The standard error of regression slope for this example is 0.027.
That's it!
