Fire Tablet vs Samsung Galaxy Tab E Lite Comparison Review
Samsung released a new 7-inch Galaxy Tab E Lite a couple weeks ago. Initially it was priced at $119 but it's already on sale for $99, which makes it the lowest priced Samsung tablet ever. It's still not nearly as cheap as Amazon's 2015 Fire tablet, however. At $49.99 the entry-level Fire sells for half […]Read more

Today is my third measurement update in the BarreAmped Transformation Challenge. As you can see from the last episode that my inches haven't changed. Now, I don't know if that is necessarily good or bad. I'm actually feeling sort of down about my progress. I guess I expected that working out 4-5 times a week and eating clean would be enough to cause drastic changes in my body.
This is not a pity party. But a reality check. I am not in this challenge to be skinny. Screw skinny. I want to be strong. I want to be the chick that can do full form push ups. Not just one. Like TEN. Ok, maybe FIVE....
What am worried about? I have clothes in my closet that fit and look somewhat coordinated. So who cares that I'll never be the same weight that I was in high school. Truly, who is? It is just a stupid number. That doesn't define me. I am a woman, no longer a girl [cue the Britney Spears...]. And how rude am I if I diss the body that God has blessed me with. Truly, all I can do is treasure and take care of it while it is mine.
What I must do is stay true to my goal to be a healthier version of myself. I've started recording my calories on My Fitness Pal. My username is To Be Mrs. Collier if you want to be friends and follow me or whatever it is called on there. Here's to not having any expectations for my next measurement date four weeks from now!
Day 4: I am so thankful for my church family. I love these people. They are my family away from family! Every Wednesday and Sunday that I get to see these people, it makes me happy. They are seriously the most random group of people that I've know but they have taught me so much just by being in their presence.
Double goes for my youth friends. As I've mentioned before, if Mr. Collier and I aren't working [and I'm not obviously blogging] we are with our youth group. These 25 young men and women are so dear to me. At first, I rolled into the youth volunteer position thinking that I was a hot shot adult going to drop some serious knowledge on these kiddos. But you know what? They have taught me more about myself than anyone. I am a more aware and patient person. They trust me. Like really TRUST me. They look to me for guidance and approval. And I am up to date on all the latest like snap chat and probably know way more about One Direction than I would ever want to. But I love them. Each one of them.

Within the expanse of a certain crag, beneath a certain door in a stone house, I once certainly, quietly, assuredly spied a man in a room that had one window that was permanently and firmly shut on principle alone, and many drapes hung high up to the rafters. They hung dead without the breeze like summer sails pulled down for winter, and a pair of them draped every one of the stone house's octagonal walls. White, they fell from the ceiling and onto the floor, puddling at the man's feet as he stood in the very middle of the room.
The man was neither tall nor was he short, and neither handsome nor plain, but rather frumpy indeed with shoulders both narrow and round. He was wearing a simple tan overcoat and hung his orange umbrella from his trouser pocket. The man was not wearing any shoes at all. He sighed and turned himself round and round, and spinning in slower and slower circles, with his eyes closed, just clutching and clutching at his chest. He was clutching at his heart. Upon closer inspection, I noticed the hole, or rather a square, on the man's left breast where his heart should have been. He sobbed never lifting a lid, and turned his slow circle once again. It was then, I decided that the man needed help, so pulling my eye away from the key hole, I tried the knob of the door to see if it would open.
No budge. No creak. No Give.
I tried again.
No luck.
I twisted, wrenched and pulled, and fought with the knob, my desperate need to help the man becoming greater and greater by the moment. Until, no longer thinking about whether or not the man would hear me, I cried out to the door, " OPEN!"
In response, a great gust of hot air knocked me completely over casing me to fall forward, the door flew ajar like a hatch in a vacuum, and though I could hardly see a thing for the ferocious gust, I tumbled into the room and became tangled with a drape.
The curtains lashed against the unwanted currents. A window previously hidden, opened on both latches and came apart, banging against the exterior stone walls. The man face down on the floor was still clutching, and clutching at his heart, looking winded and anguished.
But why?
Was it because of the hole, err, square?
The man lay on the floor, splitting at the seams of what had previously been a perfect square hole. It tore with the wind, and grew larger, and larger still. I watched, cringing, waiting for the moment he'd be wrenched in twain, but the moment wouldn't come. Instead, the wind sucked the halves of his tan coat right off his body, and the man still made no sound.
I tried to stand and released myself from the strangling fabric as the wind blew me further into the room and almost out the window. Fortunately, I had gotten caught on something. It was the orange umbrella, still clung to the man's trousers and he had taken a hand off his square heart hole to grasp it, and as he did, he looked me square in the eyes.
They were magnificent.
Like a storm his eyes glowed with blue lightening embers. They crackled with energy and pain and seemed to change the colour of the room to a deeper more violet hue. Distracted by my own sudden realization of the man's beauty, my grip on the orange umbrella slipped, and I was sure to be sucked out the window, when the man let loose his square holed heart entirely, and grabbed onto both of my hands with his.
"Hold fast." He ordered, not in the desperate tone I had imagined, but in a deep and growling thunder. The air sizzled and whizzed by our faces. He was heavily anchored to the floor, but my whole self was quite airborne.
All of a moment, but seemingly much longer than that, a square of iron slowly began to rise from the man's square heart hole. It oozed and slid with an efferent ache from the man's chest and rose promptly into the air.
He looked at me again, and Shuunk! We were lifted off the floor and out of the window. The second the iron hit the floor the weightlessness had caused us to be rendered from the stone house and into the air.
My eyes fastened to his like a harness, and forever we flew onward, tumbling over until we gained some composure above the thermals.
Over the city streets the wind carried us. Beyond the walls of the town we were blown; past hills, farms and fields, and rivers, to the very edge of everything I knew, until we landed upon a cliff.
The sky grew to a deep purple, it was so dark with clouds. The cliff-side rolled and edged off to the sea.
It was endless.
Everything was endless.
I simply gazed out to my left and scanned over the vast aubergine endlessness until my eyes alighted on the man's eyes. They shocked me once more, though the lightning was gone from them. The crackling had ceased. The sparking violet storm had calmed itself within the soul of the man.
"I-," I tried to begin.
"I know who, and what you are, Girl," he said to me.
Taken aback, I glanced at the place on the man's left breast. It was healed, and he had transformed. He had grown taller and more graceful, with silver curling hair pushed back from his face by the wind. He had become broad shouldered and strong, yet slight, with a handsome face and sharp dark eyes. His serious mouth had said something to me I just realized, but I hadn't caught it.
"What, was that you just said?" I inquired.
But before I could gain my answer from him, everything began to rush around me, so I closed my eyes, trying to clear my head.
When I opened them, I was back in the stone house, lying outside the door of that certain room.
I stared at the ceiling, trying to grasp whether or not what had just happened, had indeed happened, so I quickly flipped over and peered within the expanse of that certain crag, looking for, but not finding any billowing curtains, nor the orange umbrella, nor the man who held it. "
No, I would not have found them for they would have been sucked out too, but how-" I thought.
The room was still, simple, and dark. The window once closed, was now ajar, and lightly tapping against the outside of the stone house's wall as the curtains billowed promisingly.

NEW YORK (PIX11)-- Season one of 'The 100' saw the human race return, after a 97-year exile in space, to a wildly transformed Earth...only to discover that the human race had never truly left. Clarke found herself forced to lead a band of disposable juvenile delinquents as they faced death at every turn: from a world transformed by radiation, from the fierce Grounders who somehow managed to survive in it, and, perhaps worst of all, from themselves.
Eliza Taylor plays Clarke, one of the 100 juvenile prisoners sent to test the Earth`s surface 97 years after nuclear Armageddon decimated the planet. Isaiah Washington stars as Chancellor Jaha, first-in-command on the Ark, on the CW`s sophomore drama 'The 100.'

Welcome to the Eighth Grade!
This document is intended to outline the academic goals for the eighth grade, identify some of the primary resources that are used to instruct your child, the duration and frequency of instruction, and the outcomes that are targeted to be developed by the end of the year.We recognize that students learn at different paces and occasionally in developmental "spurts". With this in mind we focus on each child's individual progress. This progress is monitored through periodic skills assessments, teacher observations and classroom assessments (an inventory of these assessments is available if you are interested). Instruction is regularly augmented by the classroom teacher, differentiation teachers and, if necessary Special Education teachers, for students that would benefit from additional instruction.
We hope that this document adequately introduces you to what you can expect over the next 10 months, but does not replace the opportunity to discuss with you directly the specific questions you might have in greater detail and specificity.
Eighth grade follows the Math Thematics series, which promotes student success and engages students in learning by using a thematic approach that connects mathematical concepts to real-world applications and students' interests. Students engage in active learning as they explore, model, and communicate mathematical ideas using a variety of tools with partners and small groups. We meet five times per week: four times for 50 minutes and once for 90 minutes. The essential skills for eighth grade are based on the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) focal points.Our goal is that students exiting eighth grade be able to:
The essential skills of eighth grade mathematics are:
Algebra in Lyme is a high school level class. Students must meet several requirements to qualify for this class, including teacher recommendation, a passing score on the Iowa Algebra Aptitude Test, organizational skills, and the desire to work above and beyond the eighth grade curriculum. Although high school credit is not awarded, any student passing this class may be eligible for the next math class in his/her high school's mathematics sequence. This would likely be Geometry or Algebra 2. The text for this course is Algebra, published by the Wright Group. Additionally, there will be extensions on a regular basis that require write-ups using the four steps to problem solving. The class meets four days a week for 50 minutes and one day for 90 minutes. Homework is typically assigned on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and is recorded as complete or incomplete. Assignments are approximately 30 minutes or less. Notebooks are collected weekly and some homework assignments are graded.
Class typically begins with a teacher presentation, with time then allowed for individual or group work. Students who are unable to maintain a B average will meet with the teacher and parents to reexamine appropriate placement. It is the school's philosophy that this important foundational course be manageable and enjoyable so that students will be excited and prepared for future courses in the areas of math and science.
Our goal is that students exiting the course will be able to:
Essential skills covered in algebra:
Eighth grade Humanities is an integrated exploration and study of language arts and social studies. Class meets five days a week for 90-minute sessions. Throughout the year, students use multiple print and online resources including, but not limited to
World Book Online, Britannica Online, and the textbook series A History of Us. Students also explore literature and its relationship to world history, diverse cultures, and society. As part of their studies, students read and analyze Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, William Golding's Lord of the Flies, George Orwell's Animal Farm, and Eli Wiesel's Night.
In addition, students gain an understanding of the importance of reading and writing in their individual lives and develop skills in the areas of spelling, vocabulary, mechanics, and grammar. Students also have the opportunity to engage in asynchronous discussions in an online forum, where topics related to whole class readings, lessons, or ongoing units are posted intermittently throughout the marking period. This is a fun and engaging way for students and their teacher to academically interact, ponder, hypothesize, communicate, and draw opinions and conclusions about important topics from their studies.
Some of the "essential questions" explored in eighth grade Humanities include:
I: Ancient Civilizations
II: Creating a Nation/Foundations of Democracy
III: World War II/Holocaust
IV: Civil Rights
V: Yearlong Expository Writing Focus
Our goal is that students exiting eighth grade be able to:
The eighth grade science program uses the Glencoe Earth Science Text. This is a hands-on program that integrates process skills and problem solving, centered around the topic of Earth Science. Classes meet daily for 50 minutes. Homework is assigned Monday through Thursday nights and occasionally on the weekend. Instruction occurs as an entire class, in small cooperative groups, and in laboratory groups. In the spring, the entire eighth grade participates in the Solar Sprint competition which involves the design, building, and racing of a solar powered car. Grades are based on 30% homework and classwork, 35% labs, and 35% exams. Topics covered include:
Essential skills covered in eighth-grade science:
The eighth-grade French curriculum builds upon the prior two years of middle school French instruction. This course is a high school French I class and upon successful completion of this course, students will proceed to French II in the freshman year of high school. We use the Discovering French Blanc series, which is coordinated with DVD and CD resources. The class meets three days a week for 50 minutes and one day for 45 minutes. Students should expect 20 minutes of homework for each day of class.Our goals are to teach students:
Our goal is that students exiting eighth grade will be able to:
The eighth grade Spanish program is designed to teach students a variety of phrases, vocabulary, and grammar that will be encountered in a Spanish I program at the high school level. Class meets for 50 minutes three days per week, and 45 minutes one day per week. Homework is assigned approximately 3 times per week. Instruction focuses on student participation and interaction, with a variety of games and activities designed to encourage students to use newly acquired language in meaningful ways. Instructional materials are gathered from a variety of sources, including textbook series and internet resources. Our goal is that students exiting the eighth grade Spanish program will have studied
Our goal is that students exiting the eighth grade Spanish program will be able to:
In sixth, seventh, and eighth-grade classroom settings, as appropriate with grade level and developmental expectations, students should be working to develop and/or displaying the ability to:

Anyways, how is everybody? I'm really looking forward to decorating and getting busy with html codes and stuff with my blog but I guess I need more time to really be able to do that. How's school and work, you guys? School for me right now is really boring, just kidding. Well, studies really puts me to the edge where I might really suffer from neurological exhaustion from just staring at my textbooks everyday and even during night time which are really thick and heavy. #medicalstudentproblems enough whining for today because I'm kinda happy tonight. ♥
Well, it's 8:45 PM from where I am and the weather is on the cold side, which is really delightful but nowadays, I get cold easily and that shouldn't happen because I'm leaving for somewhere and that country is REALLY REALLY COLD. There's snow and I hope my body can adapt to that since it will be just a couple of days so...

P.S. I'm currently infatuated with Chris Daughtry's songs! How come I only came across these just this afternoon? Rona, do you live under a rock lol
Good idea; I should really explore more and find real, good heart-clenching musics from now on.
Comment and tell me what you've been up to! Try to fill me in for almost three weeks of being away. Tell me about your day because I'm really interested and also what you're up to because I'll definitely encourage you! :)
If you also have problems and you need someone to lend an ear, I'm here for you. I will pray for you so that you can overcome any hurdles in your way. Remember, nothing is impossible with God! ♥

"Ahimsa." What is it, why does it matter, and how can it help us? I first heard the word "ahimsa" in a yoga class.

Sky lanterns are used a lot in various celebrations. Birthdays and sporting events are among the top events where Chinese Hanging Lanterns are used. Weddings, however, remain the single most popular event where sky lanterns are used. They are often released by the couple first and then those in the wedding party or even many of the guests. It creates a wondrous display in the night sky that is stunningly beautiful. This tradition has been around since ancient times and continues to this day. Just as weddings are a great time to launch Chinese lanterns, anniversaries are equally enjoyable. So, if you are celebrating an anniversary soon, consider incorporating flying lanterns into the celebration.
How to use flying lanterns in an anniversary celebration
A great idea for anniversaries is to create a similar ritual to a wedding celebration. The happy couple can each release a Chinese paper lantern into the sky, followed by the guests releasing theirs. Or, the couple can release one Chinese lantern to symbolize their union such as the large sky lantern available at http://www.nightskylanterns.co.uk/sky-lanterns/2-x-large-sky-lanterns/prod_27.html. Then, the guests can follow with the traditional sky lanterns shown athttp://www.nightskylanterns.co.uk/sky-lanterns/white-traditional-sky-lanterns/prod_8.html or even the heart shaped Chinese lanterns like the ones found at http://www.nightskylanterns.co.uk/novelty-sky-lanterns/heart-shaped-sky-lanterns/prod_17.html. Any combination and any colour of sky lanterns is ideal for the celebration.
How many flying lanterns are needed?
The number of sky lanterns you will need for the celebration is really a matter of personal preference. You could, for example, allow one sky lantern to be released per guest. If you choose to do this you can opt to use one of the packages such as the wedding package found at http://www.nightskylanterns.co.uk/lantern-packs/wedding-packages/prod_13.html. The number of sky lanterns you will need will depend on the number of guests you will have attending the party. Or, another great idea for an anniversary is to release the number of Chinese lanterns that correspond to the number of years the couple has been married. Imagine how lovely the sky will look, alight with the glow of many sky lanterns.
Personalize the sky lanterns for added interest
Another great idea for sky lanterns at an anniversary celebration is to have each of the guests personalize a lantern before releasing it. Each person can take a sharpie marker and write a personal message to the happy couple. While gathering to release the sky lanterns, each person can read aloud their message to the couple and then release them one at a time. Or, the couple can write new vows on each of their own sky lanterns as a symbol of their renewed love and commitment to each other on their anniversary. Similarly, the couple can recite their vows or special message to one another before releasing them to float into the air.
Anniversaries are a great time to incorporate sky lanterns into the celebration. They can be personalized to add a bit of depth to the ceremony and then released. The sky lanterns make a lovely addition to any celebration and anniversary parties are no exception.

If you're already hungry when you're choosing your lunch, how much harder is it for you to choose a healthy option? As adults, we constantly hear that grocery shopping or choosing food when we are already hungry is a recipe for unhealthy eating, so it is really surprising that kids react to food choices in the same way? In fact, studies have shown that when kids pre-order their lunches online, almost 30 percent of them will choose a healthier lunch option on their own. This is as opposed to just 15 percent when they need to make a choice in the line.
What does this tell us? That by encouraging students to pre-order their lunches, we don't just reduce waste, control costs, and enable our cafeteria to plan ahead, we also foster healthier eating habits in kids.
Keep your cafeteria waste-free
There are several reasons to push for pre-ordering school lunch:
● Reduce waste by giving the staff a realistic idea of how much of each choice to prepare
● Control costs by helping students know when they are choosing items that will result in extra charges on their accounts
When a cafeteria is cooking the right amount of food, keeping budgets in line with goals and expectations, and serving their kids well, everyone is happy! Pre-ordering can help make that happen.
Encourage better financial management
While pre-ordering school lunch definitely helps control the waste aspect of a cafeteria, it can also benefit the financial side of the equation for both kids and schools.
● Pre-ordering can prompt parents to keep their child's lunch account balance positive
● Students receiving free or reduced-price lunches can see when they're making choices that will incur charges
Keep the line running smoothly
Kids don't get a lot of time to eat lunch in most schools. When they pre-order their meals, they will move through the line more quickly: they've already made their choices and paid for their meal. Kids get to spend their lunch time eating, instead of waiting to eat.
Pre-ordering can be incorporated in your district through a variety of methods: paper, mobile devices, or classroom engagement are a few of the possibilities. Whatever method is easiest for your school, when you help kids make lunch choices before they're so hungry they can't think, they'll make better choices. Pre-ordering is a step for greater physical and financial health for the entire institution.

From the triumph of
Sometimes it gets personal.
"I got a onesie as a gift that I gave away on principle," said Dr. Twenge, 41, a professor of psychology at San Diego State University and a mother of three girls under 7, in an interview at a diner on the West Side of
"It said, 'One of a Kind,' " she said, poking at a fruit salad. "That actually isn't so bad, because it's true of any baby. But it's just not something I want to emphasize."
At least not at home. In public, Dr. Twenge has used her knack for cultural criticism and an innovative but controversial approach to cross-generational data analysis to propel the narcissism debate into the mainstream. By comparing decades of personality test results, Dr. Twenge has concluded, over and over again, that younger generations are increasingly entitled, self-obsessed and unprepared for the realities of adult life.
And the blame, she says, falls squarely on America's culture of self-esteem, in which parents praise every child as "special," and feelings of self-worth are considered a prerequisite to success, rather than a result of it.Continue reading the main story
"There's a common perception that self-esteem is key to success, but it turns out it isn't," she said. Nonetheless, "young people are just completely convinced that in order to succeed they have to believe in themselves or go all the way to being narcissistic."
The message has hit a nerve. Since the 2006 publication of her first book on the subject, "Generation Me," which sold more than 100,000 copies, Dr. Twenge (pronounced TWANG-ee) has become something of a celebrity psychologist, appearing on the "Today" show, "Good Morning America" and MSNBC, among others, to comment on topics as varied as
In 2009 she published another popular book, "The Narcissism Epidemic: Living in the Age of Entitlement," with a frequent collaborator, W. Keith Campbell, a psychologist at the
But as her media profile has risen, so has the volume of criticism from her colleagues.
"I think she is vastly misinterpreting or over-interpreting the data, and I think it's destructive," said Jeffrey Jensen Arnett, a research professor in psychology at Clark University. "She is inviting ridicule for a group of people about which there are already negative stereotypes."
Critics like Dr. Arnett see a number of problems with Dr. Twenge's work. They say the test on which much of her research is based, the Narcissistic Personality Inventory, is inherently flawed — better designed to measure feelings of confidence and self-worth than actual narcissism. They also accuse her of focusing too much of her work on students at research universities, who they say are not representative of their generation.
And some critics are even more emphatic: they say the data, if collected and read correctly, simply show no generational difference in narcissism. "We calculated self-esteem scores from 1976 all the way up to 2006," said Brent Donnellan, a psychologist at
Dr. Twenge, who defends her work fervently, says the only reason she chose to focus on narcissism in the first place was that she followed the data. "The truth is I just started studying generations and tried to get my hands on as many scales and as much data as possible," she said, "and that's the theme that emerged."
A Change Over Time
"Fifty percent of the women were scoring as masculine," she said, far higher than the test manual considered normal. After repeating the study at the
Dr. Twenge decided to dig up as many old studies using the Bem survey that she could find, average out their scores by year and chart them over time. "I found that across all the studies from the '70s to the '90s, there was a very clear upward trend in women scoring higher on this measure of stereotypically masculine traits," she said.
Thus a method was born. By analyzing the results of a survey that had been administered regularly to college students for decades, Dr. Twenge had found a novel way of tracking personality changes across generations — an elusive metric among social psychologists. She would eventually term her method "cross-temporal meta-analysis."
Intrigued by the approach, she began to focus on studying generational changes in personality. The more research she did, she says, the more the themes of increasing self-focus and individualism began to emerge.
In 2008, she and some colleagues performed such an analysis using the Narcissistic Personality Inventory, a questionnaire developed in the 1980s that requires subjects to choose between statements regarding their self-image. ("I don't particularly like to show off my body"/"I like to show off my body.") The test is a tool commonly used by psychologists to identify both clinical and borderline narcissism.
Dr. Twenge's analysis found that narcissism scores among college students had risen significantly, with 30 percent more scoring above the mean from the 1970s. The study was seized upon by the news media, and became the basis of her second book.
"I had absolutely no idea how much press it was going to end up getting," she said. "It just exploded." She updated the study in 2010, finding that narcissism scores continued to rise through 2009, though not as sharply. A study she published last month in Social Psychological and Personality Science also found that the number of students who consider themselves above average continued to increase during the recession, even as the focus on materialism has ebbed.
That most recent study did not rely on the narcissism inventory, and neither have several others she has conducted.
Much of the disagreement between Dr. Twenge and her critics comes down to interpretation. She believes that questions like "I am assertive" and "I like to take responsibility for making decisions" are indicators of narcissism; Dr. Arnett calls them "well within the range of normal personality," and possibly even "desirable traits."
But critics have also taken issue with her data. In 2008, Dr. Donnellan and Kali Trzesniewski, a psychologist at the
Dr. Twenge, who grows noticeably irritated at the mention of the paper, calls the analysis invalid because it takes its earliest scores from just two
Encountering Controversy
But she does not rely on personality tests alone. In 2010 she performed a study on work attitudes finding that "millennials" (people born roughly after 1982) expressed a weaker work ethic than Generation X, born between 1965 to 1981, and put a higher value on leisure time. In 2012, she published a study finding that book authors' use of first-person-singular pronouns (I, me) had increased while the plural forms (we, us) had decreased. (In June, Dr. Twenge wrote an article for The Atlantic that gave hope to women over 35 who are trying to conceive. Like her third book, "The Impatient Woman's Guide to Getting Pregnant," it had nothing to do with narcissism and was instead based on her experiences conceiving in her 30s. )
It is with this sort of evidence that Dr. Arnett — a passionate defender of the socially networked "iGeneration," which he says is more thoughtful and civic-minded than its predecessors — raises his loudest opposition. In the March issue of Emerging Adulthood, he used a combination of the Donnellan and Trzesniewski studies and a barrage of cultural statistics to suggest that the dire warnings of a rise in selfishness were baseless.
Crime rates have fallen, he notes, as have incidents of
Dr. Twenge agrees that such statistics might seem to contradict her results. But ultimately she dismisses them. "I know of no study linking narcissism and car accidents," she said, and "nobody knows why crime goes down."
Ask Dr. Twenge to defend her conclusions often enough, and you are bound to elicit a reminder. "People think I'm saying all millennials are selfish," she said. "Of course I'm not saying that. I'm saying here's on average what the data show. This is a problem that anybody who does research on group differences runs into."
She will also remind you not to shoot the messenger. "Some people just want to be positive about the future and about young people, and I understand that," she said. "But that means sometimes they just want to cover their eyes and ears and don't want to listen to anything negative, and I think that's misguided."Continue reading the main story

Los Angeles County Assessor John Noguez said Friday that he is taking a leave of absence amid a district attorney's investigation into allegations his office reduced property taxes for campaign contributors.
In a letter sent to the Board of Supervisors, Noguez said he was making the move to help restore public confidence in the office.
"My interest has been, and continues to be, the health and well-being of the office, which I am proud to have served for over twenty-seven years," Noguez wrote. "I do not take this decision lightly. Rather, I do this with the solemn hope that my leave of absence will allow the professionals at the Assessor's Office to continue to serve the taxpayers and citizens of this county."
He has not been charged with any crimes and has denied any wrongdoing.
Noguez asked the supervisors to appoint someone to the now-vacant deputy assessor position, at which point his leave would begin.
He would normally choose the deputy himself, but Noguez said he passed the decision to the board "to remove any possible concerns" over his influence.
Noguez will continue receiving his $192,000 annual salary during the leave, the Los Angeles Times reported.
District Attorney Steve Cooley called the move "a step in the right direction" but said it will have no influence on the criminal investigation of Noguez and his relationship with donors and a tax consultant.
"Hopefully, this will help get the Assessor's Office back on track," Cooley said in a statement.
Several county supervisors also issued statements saying they believed the leave of absence was a good idea.
A former appraiser from Noguez's office, Scott Schenter, was charged last week with 60 felony counts that allege he falsified records and unlawfully reduced property values by more than $170 million while he worked for the assessor's office from 1988 to 2011.
Prosecutors said he secured campaign contributions for Noguez from the owners of multimillion-dollar homes and businesses.
Schenter has pleaded not guilty to all 60 counts.

Pte. Peter Piper (1896 – 1916)
Peter Piper was born on 22 December 1896 at Roughway Farm in Plaxtol, the youngest of ten children (four brothers, five sisters) of Henry Joel Piper, a labourer from Heathfield, and his wife Emma Diprose. He probably attended school in Plaxtol, and in 1903, when he was six, tragedy befell the family when his mother died. His father eventually remarried two years later to Alice Ann Banfield, and a half-brother named Herbert John was born in 1907. In 1910 Peter left school and found a job as a farm boy, by 1914 his family had moved to Crouch, and he was working as a quarryman. His older brothers Joel and Thomas enlisted at the outbreak of war, and perhaps keen to do his bit, Peter also signed up as soon as he turned 18.
Like Joel, Peter joined the Royal West Kent Regiment, enlisting in Maidstone on 2 January 1915. At the time he was recorded as being 5' 7" in height, weighing 130lbs with blue eyes and dark hair. Following attestation, Peter was posted to the 3rd (Reserve) Battalion – a training battalion based in Chatham, however four months later on 30 April he found himself being discharged from service, having been deemed 'not likely to become an efficient soldier.'
Undeterred Peter re-enlisted in Maidstone on 15 July. At this new medical, the examining officer makes note that he had a history of fits, with two occurring during the preceding 12 months (perhaps the reason for his previous discharge.) Despite this, he was again passed fit for service and returned to his old unit.
G/8979 Pte. P Piper was eventually sent overseas to France on 8 March 1916, and on arrival in Calais at the 12th Infantry Base Depot, was assigned to the 6th (Service) Battalion. On 13 March he wrote to his sister:
My Dear Sister,
I am writing these few lines hoping they will find you quite well and I hope you got the other letter safe. I find it a little different from Chatham out here and we are having some nice weather. I found some of my old mates here so I am not all alone but I've not found Tom yet. I would rather have my old feather bed than these tents but still I have to put up with it. I am stopping at a place called the base but I must not tell you the name of it. I think this is all the news this time. Will write again when I get the chance.
With love from Peter.
A week later Peter was sent with a draft of 48 other men to join the battalion, who were billeted at Annequin, and on arrival, he was assigned to 'D' Company. He wrote again to his sister:
Dear Sister Jin,
In answer to your letter I am writing these few lines hoping you are keeping well. I have been shifted from the base to another place. It is about two miles from the firing line. We can see the shells bursting when they are fired at the aeroplanes, but that don't make me downhearted. Hope I can find Tom now I am here. When you answer the letter don't put A.P.O.J.B.B.S.17 but put all the other and No. 13 platoon now I think.
I must close. Hope you get it safe with love and kisses from Peter.
P.S. Please can you ask Flo to write to me and then I will send her a card.
Peter's first taste of life in the trenches came on 27 March when his battalion took over a section of the line in the Quarries Sector from the 7th Royal Sussex Regiment. There was little in the way of trouble from the enemy, however whilst he was there melting snow flooded the trenches. On 25 April the battalion was withdrawn to Allouagne where they began a two-month period of training prior to the summer's 'Big Push'.
On 7 April he wrote:
Dear Jinny My Sister,
I am writing a few lines to you in answer to your letter which I received quite safe. Glad you like the card which I sent and I've sent Flo one as well. I have sent them all one now excepting Doll and I won't not before I hear from her. Glad to hear that the Zeps did not do much damage and I wish I were at Chatham again, it would be better than out here, but still I shall have to put up with it until I get sent there, and the sooner the better. I am sending these two stamps back as we are not supposed to use them out here and I cannot do anything else with them. I don't suppose you will mind Fancy Harry coming home after all this time. I bet Dad was surprised when he saw him as a sergeant. I have not seen Tom yet and Flos letter found me alright. Now I think this is all this time. With love from
He wrote again on 3 May:
My Dear Sister,
Just a few lines to you hoping you are quite well. Glad to say I am going on very well, excepting a boil on my neck which I've had to have lanced. We are having some very nice weather here and it is very hot some days. Better than a lot of rain. I have not seen anything of Tom yet but I have wrote home for his address so I can write to him and then perhaps I shall be able to find him. Did you get my other letter, which I wrote I sent those stamps back because we do not use them out here. Have you seen or heard anything from Dolly lately? I don't know wether (sic) to write to her or not because she don't write to me when I do. I had a letter from Lizzy a few days ago and it was a nice long one to. What a rough time out there has been in Dublin these last few days.
At the end of June, The Queen's Own began moving south towards the Somme area. They were now up to full strength and following the extended period of rest and training, were in good condition and ready for the imminent battle.
The battalion was in reserve on 1 July 1916 – which was the first day of the Somme campaign, however the next day, while at a position just west of the ruins of Ovillers, his battalion received orders to resume the attack in the early hours of 3 July. In the assault, 'A' and 'C' Coys were to take the first line, while 'B' and 'D' were to pass through and attack the second. Unknown to the battalion, and in a replay of events two days before, much of the enemy wire had escaped destruction by the pre-battle bombardment which would prove fatal for Peter's company.
At 3:15 a.m. the barrage lifted off the German front line and the two attacking companies in the first wave advanced under heavy enfilade machine-gun fire towards their objective. Despite the immense danger they bravely pushed forward and successfully took the line, and cleared it of any remaining Germans.
Next came Peter's company who, under covering fire from the two advanced companies, made their way over the captured enemy line and charged towards the second, where they were scourged with a hailstorm of enemy bullets and bombs. Anyone who made it as far as the German trenches found themselves blocked by the uncut wire, and were mercilessly mown down in front of it.
By the end of the day, of the 617 men who had gone into action, 375 were killed, wounded or missing. Peter was among the latter, and his body never recovered for burial. He was just 19 years old. Also killed in the attack was Richard Haxon Andrews from Wrotham Heath, who was in 'A' Coy.
In addition to the Platt War Memorial, Peter is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial and was awarded the British War and Victory medals.

3D scientific animations are used to accurately convey complex information. They are particularly useful in trials, where, in this visual age, jurors have come to expect sophisticated technical animations to help them understand the expert's testimony.
Scientific animations are not cartoons, they are visual representations constrained by physical laws. Our forensic experts create high-quality animations that accurately show how an accident occurred. Our experts have used animations of accidents involving products, motor vehicles & shootings in jury trials and have provided them to counsel for use in mediation. 3D scientific animation is more affordable than ever and our experience has proven that technical animation is an extremely effective communication tool when it's time to describe complicated events in mediation or trial.

We used quantitative genetics to test a controversial theory of heat stress, in which animals overheat when the demand for oxygen exceeds the supply. This theory, referred to as oxygen- and capacity-limited thermal tolerance, predicts a positive genetic correlation between hypoxia tolerance and heat tolerance. We demonstrate the first genetic correlation of this kind in a model organism, Drosophila melanogaster. Genotypes more likely to fly under hypoxic stress (12% O2) were also more likely to fly under heat stress (39°C). This finding prompts new questions about mechanisms and limits of adaptation to heat stress.
