Participants of the 2017 6-12 Mathematics Academy will work to (1) develop a deeper knowledge of the mathematics at the center of the middle or high school curriculum, (2) analyze, refine, and reflect on classroom practices, and (3) explore how to use this knowledge for the benefit of their students, colleagues, and profession. These goals will be reflected in Academy sessions and activities that challenge participants to think critically about the mathematics they teach, encourage exploration of meaningful tasks designed to promote critical thinking, and consider how students can develop an understanding of key mathematical ideas. The Academy faculty, featuring master teachers and teacher educators, will use current methods and appropriate technology across the content strands to provide a rich learning experience that participants can bring to their own classrooms.
The 2017 Content Teaching Academy sessions begin at 8:30 Monday, June 26 and conclude at noon on Friday, June 30. On Monday-Thursday, the daily schedule is set up much like a high school 4x4 block schedule, with two 1.5 hour sessions in the morning and two 1.5 hour sessions in the afternoon. Breaks with snacks and beverages are provided between sessions in both the mornings and afternoons. Participants who are enrolled in an Academy for graduate credit must attend two additional sessions scheduled from 6:30 to 8:00 pm on Monday and Wednesday evenings.
The primary check-in period is from 5 to 7 pm on Sunday, June 25. Late arrivals and commuters may check in early Monday morning between 7 and 8 a.m.
Academy Chair(s):
Dr. Leah Shilling is an Associate Professor of Mathematics Education at Longwood University. She received a B.S. in Mathematics from Slippery Rock University, a M.A. in Mathematics from the University of Pittsburgh, and a Ed.D. in Mathematics Education from the University of Pittsburgh.

New Yorkers are notoriously jaded, so it takes something pretty bizarre to hold their attention for an extended period of time.
But a naked, 20-year-old man screaming about Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for an hour Thursday morning did it.
The unidentified naked man climbed an outdoor red staircase in Times Square that is a popular tourist attraction, according to Det. Martin Speechley of the New York Police Department. He stood on the edge of it — about 15 feet from the ground — and started shouting repeatedly starting at 7:30 a.m.
"Donald Trump where are you, Donald Trump where the f--- are you?" the man said, according to the New York Post. Trump has a scheduled appearance in New Hampshire on Thursday.
He also said he loved fashion, that he's a virgin and he loves his mother.
You can watch the video below (warning: contains nudity).
LIVE: There's a crazy naked guy taking over Times Square: https://t.co/FNM0yoKjHD— Philip Lewis (@Phil_Lewis_) June 30, 2016
Speechley confirmed that the man was "acting erratically" but said he couldn't confirm any particulars that the man said.
The man appears to spit and shout at the officers in the video and continuously tries to avoid the giant airbag that has been blown up on the pavement below.
Speechley said the incident lasted about an hour. A large portion of Times Square appeared to be shut down in the video during the situation.
The man eventually runs past the officers and jumps off, landing on the pavement and not the airbag.
Speechley said he was taken to the hospital with injuries but is in stable condition. He said the man's mental condition will be evaluated and charges are possible.

In director Olivier Megaton's Transporter 3, mysterious courier Frank Martin (Jason Statham) is forced to transport Valentina (newcomer Natalya Rudakova), the kidnapped daughter of Leonid Vasilev (Jeroen Krabbé, a.k.a. That Eastern European Weasel from so many '80s and '90s films), the head of the Environmental Protection Agency for the Ukraine, from Marseilles to Odessa.
Frank's "employer" Johnson (Prison Break's Robert Knepper) guarantees his cooperation by fitting him with an explosive bracelet that will detonate should the Transporter venture more than 100 feet from his beloved car. But Johnson isn't the only one Frank has to worry about; there are also teams of armed agents out to intercept him. However, no one gives Frank more trouble than the hostage herself.
Valentina may be a spoiled child of privilege and a cynical party girl, and his code prevents him from getting involved with someone, but Frank soon finds himself falling for her. With only his old ally Inspector Tarconi (François Berléand) to lend a hand, Frank has to make sure that he and Valentina get to Odessa -- and then get out -- alive.
The Transporter was a dumb but fun action flick bolstered by the mystique of its hero and inventive action sequences that perfectly showcased Statham's badassery (no, that's not a real word but it works). The second one fell victim to the curse of most action sequels, which is to make action sequences and story elements bigger and more preposterous than before. But the worst thing about the watchable but forgettable Transporter 2 was that it wasn't a Transporter film; it was a half-baked Man on Fire retread and not a story about a cool man and his cool car.
Despite its many problems, Transporter 3 at least gets back to basics and is a Transporter film ... for the most part. The "human bomb" element is shamelessly reminiscent of Statham's recent Crank, so much so that there were moments when Frank Martin could have been replaced with Chev Chelios and no one would have noticed the difference(although that could be said of any Statham protagonist). While the movie has some fun with the explosive bracelet, the gimmick soon wears off. Thankfully, whenever things get too Crank-y for their own good there is a car chase or martial arts brawl thrown in to remind us that this is still a Transporter movie.
Many of the best action set-pieces are saved until the homestretch, with the climactic car vs. train sequence being the standout. Transporter 3 shows that Jason Statham can still kick ass six ways from Sunday, but that isn't enough to save the film from being done in by an annoying and contrived romantic subplot. Natalya Rudakova had never acted before she was cast as Valentina and, sadly, it shows. Transporter creator-producer Luc Besson discovered her in New York while she was working as a hairdresser and he gave her a few acting lessons before she started Transporter 3.
After watching this film, one wonders what exactly it was that Besson saw in her. Rudakova makes one of the most grating film debuts of all time, so much so that you can't help but hope that Frank will toss Valentina off the cliff during their first romantic scene together. Frank had resisted her "charms" until that point; perhaps that was because Valentina isn't particularly charming or sexy. Really, would an exploding bracelet have been as bad as getting stuck with her?
Transporter 3 gets some points for a few cleverly handled action sequences, but the romantic subplot and nods to Crank ultimately undermine the film. Here's hoping that if there is a Transporter 4, Frank will just stay in the car -- and unattached.

I would like to express my gratitude to Doctor Hakan Eraslan. Myself, as well as my whole family, are very thankful to You, beacause Your professionalism, skillful hands and Your kind heart made it possible for me to get rid of a serious condition. I wish You health, hapiness and a lot of succes in Your difficult job!
Valentina Postolatii
I do not know how other patients, but I'm a super mega thank you. A hospital in which I'm afraid and only with good hopes.
I recently made a appointment to the gynecologist, Maxim Calaras. I want to thank him for the care and attention he consulted me every time. He's really a doctor of 10 who deserves to be doctor. I recommend it to all the ladies who are afraid of consulting with the gynecologist. These doctors in Moldova can count on their fingers and I'm glad I was lucky to meet my doctor to go back and again with great pleasure.Irina
IVF isn't an easy ride but somehow we have found the whole process quite enjoyable thanks to the team.
"I can't fault how everyone at the IVF Department has treated us. Even after our third attempt, I think it's important to share an opinion from a different point of view - one where it has not been successful… yet.
A special thank you to Diana, Victoria, Marina, Janna and Iren for that unbelievable support they always are giving me and, of course, for answering many (MANY :D) questions. Dr. Diana always gets back to me very quickly.
From the first time I met Diana I could tell how passionate she is about what she does and how much knowledge she has as a doctor and as an individual. From the start, Diana has been honest about what I did and didn't need. In fact, she stopped me from paying for different needless blood tests.
I honestly believe that had I not had the incredible loyalty I received from you, I would have given up a long time ago… Thanks for believing in me.
Also I want to thank other staff and doctors at the hospital who maybe have not directly been a part of my treatment… but have always made sure to stop and say hello to me. Little things like this really make all the difference to someone going through such a tricky journey.
Yeah, IVF isn't an easy ride but somehow we have found the whole process quite enjoyable thanks to the team."

Carciumaru Petru - a very, very, very, very good general surgeon.
Almost all the Imago agency has been treated by him ... and appendicitis and "it hurts but nobody understands what". A surgeon who thinks in depth each case, who does not start to cut if it is not necessary. And in general - a mega man.

Семья Максименюк благодарит администрацию клиники Medpark, а также врачей которые професионально произвели сложную операцию нашей дочери по исправлению сколиоза.
Являясь Свидетелеми Иеговы мы высоко ценим жизнь, а также библейские принципы, один из которых велит "воздерживаться от крови". Особенность этой операции в том, что она была произведена без использования крови как донорской крови, так и собственной. Благодаря этому не было никаких осложнений связанных с переливанием и после неё. Наша дочь быстро пошла на поправку не получив ни одного антибиотика после операции и на седьмой день была выписана.
Благодарим врачей – Кондрашева Дмитрия, Унгуряну Виктора, Балтага Руслан, Гузун Алена.

|Wow what a ride!
Victoria Wood once told this joke about how you lavish so much attention on your first child, that you go so far as to score the wall recording for all eternity your firstborn's height with wonder and awe (since my 13 year old son is already clocking 6ft 3' we are adding a soupçon of morbid fascination in to the mix now too). Anyhow she went on to remark that by the time you have your third child, you merely note their vertical progress by the rising tide mark of nose smearings on your coat sleeve…
And so it is for freelancing. First year I had a cocktail party and people came from miles around, Second year I at least opened a bottle of champagne and shared it with those that happened to be passing. Third year, Feb 10th completely passed me by. Writing this, with a vodka and tonic in hand is as much as I can muster to commemorate the occasion. Just like a third child - it's not that I love the freelance life any less, far from it, but just that I'm really busy - new clients, new projects, new sectors, new territories and I got accredited. Even the dog behaves pretty good now.
So as is now customary, sharing a few random lessons learned this year:
|That's me that is
Cautionary tale – Be careful how much time you allocate to individual pitches. I have a strong agency background so I like pitching, the smell of the chase, and all that. But it is easy to get carried away, do some sums on the back of an envelope look at the potential gain and then assign a realtive cost to winning it. I completely lost it over the summer chasing a big account but where my personal gain was quite insignificant. I blame the heat.
Motivational moment – As you get busier you may feel inclined to focus on just the high value projects or to really specialize. For example, in line with the industry's increased appetite for credible content, I have seen a surge in demand for copywriting skills this year, but if I just did that all the time I'd burn out. Much better to have several diverse projects on the go, it keeps the mind agile. And even when you are busy, don't' forget to fill your boots with psychic income – my work with the Taylor Bennet Foundation continues to be the most fulfilling aspect of my freelance career.
Cautious tale – So I'm still working at 2011 mates' rates for my early retained clients and now I know them so well, asking for an increase on the day rate feels kind of #awkward. But the nicest client in the world is unlikely to suggest you take a pay rise. I'm just going to have to man up - distasteful as it is. Suggest to avoid getting into this situation in the first place any day rate deal you agree comes with the proviso 'to be reviewed in six months', ample time to prove your salt and get you on more equitable terms.
Motivational moment – When pickings get plentiful, share the spoils, share the stress, share the funds, share the love, keep delivering above and beyond. Officially forming the collective was the smartest thing I did this year.
|that's us that is!
Cautionary tale – Now it's seven days a week 11-7, and that's normal. The weekends have become the time to do the behind the scenes stuff, the banking, admin, marketing etc. So to make sure you don't lose sight of why you turned freelance in the first place, in my case - to spend time with that gargantuan boy of mine – take enforced breaks, ( I'm averaging about eight weeks leave a year). Anywhere that is a Wi-Fi black spot will do nicely.
Motivational moment – Three years ago I turned my back on the security of an established and respected career, with the attitude of how hard can it be? That was the wrong question. I should have asked, 'how intense can this be?' Flipping intense actually. But it turns out, when you learn not to measure your worth by your job title, not to value security above freedom and control, you become infinitely richer, eventually!

We loaded our super-intelligent ape friend into a shuttle, offering him 20 bananas if he'd fly us to an uninhabited planet nearby. When we arrived, we suggested he bury some "private items" for us - namely some pirated DVDs we no longer needed. The plan was, once he was involved in the task, we'd kosh him on the head and fly off home, leaving us back at a crew of two.
It seemed like a foolproof plan. As such, I'm still not sure why I'm now recording this from the surface of said planet while I watch the ape fly off in our shuttle... with me wearing nothing but my underwear...
"He is super-intelligent..."
Shut up, Gort.
The Liability is essentially a British retread of Collateral. An amoral hitman pressgangs an everyman into driving him between hits and the two form a strained bond. Of course, Kent is never going to quite match NYC for grittiness or stylishness, so The Liability takes the same route previous UK attempts to compete on Hollywood's home turf like Severance and Hot Fuzz did. If there are just two things England does perfectly, it's knowing humour and great performances.
Our everyman here is a layabout chav, spending his days playing Call of Duty and scoffing Twix in one gulp. His dodgy step-dad decides it's time for him to learn a trade and sends him out to drive the mighty Tim Roth's ageing assassin to his next job. Once the duo fall foul of St Trinian's Talulah Riley, however, our anti-hero discovers that the target may not be who he thought it was.
We'd watch Roth (or Riley in a see-through shirt and no bra) in anything.
While The Liability has some similarities to new-lad cinema such as Paul Tanter, Noel Clarke or Danny Dyer's movies, it's a much more old-fashioned beast at heart. Make no mistake, the film moves slowly, unravelling inch by inch during long, uneventful scenes of motorway travel. When it speeds up, the film actually manages to exude its own quirky style and it works very well - such as a particularly appealing and amusing bag drop in a diner car park, one of the few scenes with background music - however, the movie is more interested in subtly hinting at the motivations and backgrounds of its characters. When this kind of thing is done well, it can be a sign of genius, but here you're left feeling like you've missed some dialogue somewhere that would have clued you in on what the hell is going on. Some of the twists are profoundly unlikely and characters regularly do things purely to advance the plot.
All that said, the film is dynamic, keeping its own pace on its own terms, and its wonderfully dark edge is balanced by a pleasant line in witty humour that manages to make you laugh out loud without resorting to cheap slapstick and gurning at the camera. Likewise, the characters manage to be complete scumbags without making them difficult to spend 90 minutes with... bringing us nicely to the film's other attribute - its length. If you're a regular Gort fan, you'll know that we applaud any movie that clocks in at under an hour and a half, and The Liability manages to wrap up all its threads into a neat little package long before it's outstayed its welcome. Not perfect, but memorably promising and we'd watch Roth (or Riley in a see-through shirt and no bra) in anything.
The Liability is out in UK cinemas tomorrow and hits DVD on the 27th.

Happy Chinese New Year, everyone! Living in China certainly has its challenges, but it also has its perks, among them being that my children get Chinese holidays off from school, allowing us extra time to travel and explore. This week my children were off from school as China welcomed in the year of the monkey.
As a family of four, we can't always leave Beijing to travel somewhere far away and exotic, but we don't really need to. Beijing is a huge and fascinating city with lots of family-friendly sights and activities. Our home is in the suburbs of Beijing, quite far from the city center—far enough that it makes getting downtown (to the real Beijing) a bit prohibitive when we are on our normal schedule. As any mother knows, even the weekends can be easily filled—soccer practices, Skype calls back home, church, and what-not makes the weekends seem even busier than the weekdays. Add that to Beijing traffic, where what should be a twenty-minute drive can easily become a two-hour commute, and we don't usually choose to venture very far from home unless we have a lot of time.
With the extra week off from school, we were thrilled to do a staycation and use the time to go downtown and see the sights here. We stayed at a hotel for a couple of nights to allow us easy access to the city sights. While there, we discovered a few duds and a few gems. Here are the gems.
Chair skating at Houhai Lake
Houhai is one of three interconnected lakes. It's a popular location to walk around and has a pleasant atmosphere all year round. In the summer, you can expect to see boats on the lake. In the winter you can go chair skating. There are plenty of chairs and ice poles, but the bikes are much more fun (you will probably have to look around and wait for one of those though).
It looks a lot easier than it is, I can assure you, but we had lots of smiles and giggles trying to figure it out. My five- and three-year old were too little to try it on their own, but they loved making a train or just riding behind Mommy and Daddy and cheering us on as we chased each other.
We paid 80 RMB per person (including the kids) to get on the lake. This is the holiday and weekend price. Weekdays are a bit less. We could spend as much time as we wanted there, but could not re-enter after leaving.
Wandering around the Hutongs
Hutong refers to the the narrow streets and alleys that are formed by the lines of the traditional courtyard-style houses. The Hutongs have been around for generations, but have changed throughout China's history. Many hutongs have been demolished to make way for wider avenues and modern high-rise apartments, but others have held on. Though some hutongs are still under threat of the wrecking ball, it seems that Beijing has recognized the value of preserving this historical piece of Beijing, at least in certain areas.
Each Hutong has its own history and atmosphere, but my family spent some time exploring the Hutongs in the area around Houhai Lake. This is what I love—more than spectacular views or fancy hotels, I'd rather (discreetly) peek into a doorway that might allow me to glimpse someone else's life. I spent a nice afternoon with my family wandering around the narrow alleys, getting a peek at the grassroots history of the city, and attaching an image to the history I read about in books.
Unfortunately, when money can be made, commercialization changes things. In this case, we saw others taking tours on rickshaws and plenty of other tourists wandering around the hutong like we were. Many of the old residences have been converted to bars or restaurants, but it didn't steal away the value of visiting. In fact, I plan to go back in the spring when the leaves are on the trees.
Kerry Hotel
Always looking for ways to make travel more family friendly, we decided to stay at the Kerry Hotel for the couple of nights that we stayed downtown. The club rooms include breakfast at a large, excellent buffet and also happy hour drinks and food in the smaller club lounge. With two meals included, it made for a convenient place to stay with kids.
The real attraction, however, in our choosing the Kerry Hotel was the Adventure Zone in the hotel's sports center. The Adventure zone is a large, clean play zone for kids ranging in age from toddler to pre-teen. There is a zone for children under five that has a smaller climbing zone, houses for pretend play, and cars to ride in.
There is also a larger, three-story structure for older kids (though my three-year old didn't have any trouble joining in the fun there with the big kids). The biggest attractions in the Adventure Zone are the large slides. My three year old liked the bumpy slide. I liked the red free-fall one—which is probably the best part about the Adventure Zone . . . parents are welcome to join in the fun.
As guests of the hotel, the price to enter was 100 RMB for each kid for two hours. Each child can have a parent enter with them free of charge.

Here are six tips to make sure your property sale succeeds
Despite the enormity of the task, with the right help, a flexible approach and a few tricks up your sleeve, you can achieve a great result every time.
Don't feel pressured to pick the first agent you meet.
Pick the right real estate agent
The one decision that could have the biggest impact on the success of your sale is the agent you select.
Here are some of the key requirements:
- Considerable experience in your specific area with homes similar to yours
- A quality listener who's willing to meet your needs, instead of imposing their own
- Several good references from ex clients
- Honesty, good communication skills and reliability
- The support of a large real estate agency with considerable resources
Don't feel pressured to pick the first agent you meet – interview several and select whoever best fits the above criteria.
Consider staging
If your home looks the same or worse than all the other options buyers are considering you'll receive a lower sale price, or you won't sell at all.
Your best bet to make your property stand out from the crowd could be home staging. This targeted method of styling is different from renovating in that it aims to highlight your property's strongest attributes and make it easier for buyers to imagine themselves living in it.
The cost of furniture hire and staging packages varies considerably depending on the size of your home and your location. However, it's important to look at the cost as an investment as it could fetch you a higher sale price.
Focus on making changes that will improve your property the most for the least investment.
Make cosmetic fixes and clean
Before the real estate agent photographs your property and buyers start inspecting, make sure your property is looking its absolute best.
Clean all those spots you've forgotten for years so that nosy buyers aren't put off by mould, muck or dust when they peek in cupboard doors. Then consider the cosmetic changes that could transform your property.
Small things like having a professional carpet cleaner remove all the stains in your carpet, putting down fresh bark in the garden or a lick of paint on the walls can make all the difference. Focus on making changes that will improve your property the most for the least investment.
Price your home well
You want the best price for your property but buyers want to get value for their purchase. If you price your property too low, buyers will see the value, interest will be through the roof and you could miss out on money. On the other hand, if you price your property too high, buyer interest will be low and you may not sell at all.
Research similar sales in the area and get an understanding of how the market is behaving.
Finding the ideal price can be difficult but it's well worth the effort. Research similar sales in the area and get an understanding of how the market is behaving at the moment to get a rough idea of what your property's ideal price is.
Then speak to your real estate agent for further advice – they should have considerable experience pricing property like yours.
Listen to the right feedback
When you sell your property everyone will have an opinion. Your neighbours and friends may think you're selling for too little or that now's not the right time. Buyers who are interested may say the price is too high. Know that feedback from those invested in the sale of your property should be taken with a grain of salt and that you should trust in the research you've done and the agent you're working with.
You should, however, take notice and speak with your agent if buyer interest is extremely high or extremely low overall. That's because you should always listen to the market and your price can always be adjusted to achieve the result that you want.
If you're ready to go speak to a real estate agent in your area in the near future to start moving towards a successful sale.

Labor Secretary Tom Perez, one of the more ideological and also annoying members of the Obama administration, attacked Ronald Reagan for his prediction that Medicare would lead to socialized medicine and, indeed, socialism.
Here's some of what Reagan said.
Now, I know everyone likes their Medicare. But Reagan had it absolutely right.
With health insurers now effectively government utilities whose business practices are dictated by Uncle Sam, and with everyone required to have insurance, we are well down the road to socialized medicine. As Obamacare becomes increasingly unworkable and Medicaid expands, the Left will begin increasing the pressure to simply move toward a single-payer, government-run system.
Also, BTW, Medicare is broke and will require sweeping changes or massive tax increases to save it.
And with half of all Americans receiving government benefits today, we already are living under a form of socialism. Perez, of course, wouldn't recognize it, because for him government control of the means of production is market capitalism.
But Reagan understood, and events are proving him right, not wrong.

What can we do to support National Teen Driver Safety Week?
This week (October 19-25) is National Teen Driver Safety Week. As adults, it is so important that we serve as a good role models for teen drivers. Motor vehicle crashes are the number one killer of 14 to 18-year-olds in the U.S. In 2012, there were 2,055 teen drivers involved in fatal crashes and 859 (42%) of those teen drivers were killed in the crashes. Let's use this week as an opportunity to reduce those numbers.
The theme this year is "5 to Drive" and I hope every single parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, or anyone who knows a teen driver, will reinforce the message and take a pledge on our Jaffarian Facebook page to honor the tenants of the "5 to Drive" campaign, sponsored by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA).
According to a recent survey quoted on the NHTSA website, only 25 percent of parents even take the time to talk with their teens about the dangers of driving. Parents are the most important part of the solution. Speak to your teens not only about the dangers of driving and following the "Five to Drive," but also as a passenger. Most people know that passengers are generally at higher risk of death in traffic accidents than drivers. Most teens have cell phones. Make sure your teen knows to call you for a ride rather than get into a vehicle when they don't feel safe. Commit these to memory for when you have the opportunity to speak with a teen driver:
1. Alcohol: Teen drivers are at a greater risk of death in alcohol-related crashes compared to drivers in all other age groups, even though they're too young to legally buy or drink alcohol. In 2012, 28 percent of the young drivers (15 to 20-years old) who were killed in crashes had a high blood alcohol level.
2. Seat belts: Wearing a seat belt is one of the simplest ways for teens to stay safe in a vehicle. Whether it's immaturity or a false perception that they're invincible—teens aren't buckling up. In 2012, of all the young (15- to 20-year-old) passenger vehicle drivers killed in crashes, more than half (55%) of those killed were not wearing seat belts.
3. Texting: Texting or dialing while driving is more than just risky—it's deadly. In 2012, among drivers 15 to 19-years-old who were distracted in fatal crashes, nearly 1 in 5 were distracted by phones. This age group had the highest percentage of drivers distracted by phone use. In Massachusetts, it is again the law for anyone to text and drive and it is against the law for drivers under age 18 to use cell phones at all.
4. Speeding: In 2012, speeding was a factor in almost half (48%) of the crashes that killed 15- to 20-year-old drivers.
5. Passengers: Teens may be very social, but the car isn't the place to socialize. Extra passengers for a teen driver can lead to disastrous results. In fact, according to a recent survey by the Allstate Foundation, half of all teen drivers even admit that they are safer drivers without their friends as passengers.
Parents – please be part of the solution by talking to your teens and setting a good example for them.
Let's use the week of Teen Driver Safety Week to start the conversation and also acknowledge that driving distracted is not just a teenage issue, but a national issue. Take the pledge now to not drive distracted and to follow the "5 to Drive" points of this year's theme. As role models, we can make a difference, and together we can change driving habits and save lives. Many auto schools recommend that you contract with your teens as they start to drive. If you have never tried this with your teen, this is a great time to make that happen. Keep it visible and remind them of how much you care and that you want to remind them to return home safely.
Other things we can do as parents is to write your teen a letter, leave notes in the car before they drive off, or use social media to message them and remind them of the "5 to Drive" points.
Just like when they were little, they will mimic the behaviors they see. This is a great reminder to be good role models as drivers and to have open and honest conversations about the importance of driving safely.
Best wishes to all parents and teens and safe driving!

Disease is #1 on Wattpad in Featured Horror!
It's like a dream come true. Back in November I threw Disease up on Wattpad. I figured I had nothing to lose, but lots of readers to gain. Back then I never imagined that it would quickly become a featured novel, and that after that I'd be watching it skyrocket in the ranks. Today I'm please to announce, nay, estatic to announce, Disease is now #1 on Wattpad Featured Horror!
Check out this screenshot from my laptop.
That's Disease right there, in the number one spot. I've been watching it fight for space in the top three for a few days now, holding breath and hoping it wouldn't drop back down. I couldn't be more happy to see this happen.
This is really pretty amazing! I think it's time to crack open the champagne.

York Quay Neighbourhood Association covers Toronto's iconic Central Waterfront, with members in every building. YQNA is actively engaged in what shapes our neighbourhood – traffic, transit, planning, cultural and social events, policing, environment, noise, businesses, and the great urban renewal transforming Queens Quay. YQNA welcomes all residents to participate, share their ideas and enjoy our events.
Sail Ahoy
The Disabled Sailing Association of Ontario (DSAO) helps the disabled get out on Toronto Harbour in specially-designed sailboats all summer. It's a great charity in the middle of YQNA's neighbourhood. Come visit DSAO at the Harbourfront slip at Queens Quay and Rees Street.
There are lots of programs for both adults and kids. They are run by students, and supported by lots of enthusiastic volunteers, many from our neighbourhood.
Thanks to the generous support of donors and sponsors, the cost to a disabled person is only $15 per sail, plus a $50/yr membership.
But paying the staff and maintaining the boats costs money! The DSAO is grateful for any contribution. You can make a secure online donation to DSAO through CanadaHelps.org. A tax receipt will be issued to you from the Canada Helps website.
The DSAO also needs volunteers. You don't have to know how to sail; the association needs helpers on land too. To find out how you can help, please visit DisabledSailingOntario.com.
Say NO to the World's Biggest Nightclub
YQNA is at the center of a city-wide protest against a Waterfront nightclub that would be the largest in the world with a capacity of more than 15,000 people. That is if the Powerhouse Corporation is granted a liquor license from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO). Lengthy upcoming hearings at the AGCO Tribunal start February 9 and are open to the public.
Powerhouse Corporation's Licence Appeal Hearing starts February 9, 2017 at 9:30 am in the Tribunal's Offices in Toronto at 20 Dundas St. W., 5th floor. Hearings will continue if necessary on February 10, 13 and 14 and March 20, 21, 30 and 31, 2017.
The co-chair of YQNA, Edward Hore, is working pro bono as our lawyer and is submitting written protests to this outsized club — from city councillors, neighbourhood associations, condo boards, Waterfront developers and businesses. Residents on the Islands near the site are represented by lawyer Robert Tanner. Ken Greenberg, prominent urban designer of the Port Lands, says this monster club is the biggest threat to the Waterfront so far, exceeding others that residents fought off, such as a jet airport, casinos, box retail stores and a Ferris Wheel.
This club application — which would top the world's largest nightclub in Spain for 10,000 people — almost went unnoticed by the public. The club is currently called Rebel and is where the former Docks club lost its liquor license years ago in a similar imbroglio with the public. When YQNA learned the application details through councillor Pam McConnell from club owner Charles Khaboult of the Powerhouse Corporation, we started a successful campaign to engage the media. CBC TV and Radio gave extensive coverage as did The Globe and Mail. People were shocked at this news, to say the least. This mega-club would put Waterfront renewal plans for the Port Lands at risk and cause serious social, traffic and noise issues.
The enormous scale of this nightclub is not just a local Waterfront issue. It concerns millions of people who use the Waterfront as their "cottage country." The Waterfront is also home to a growing mixed-use community that comprises North America's largest urban renewal project under the auspices of Waterfront Toronto. To protect our precious Waterfront, you can sign this petition from the newly formed Waterfront For All — and spread the word to your friends!
Waterfront for All
YQNA is among the founding members of the new umbrella organization Waterfront for All. The proposed naturalization and flood-proofing of the Don River mouth was the focus at the launch of Waterfront for All on Oct. 20, 2016. The flood protection will unlock 75 acres of natural habitat — wetlands, uplands and aquatic habitat — and protect 600 acres of land from flood risk.
"The revitalization of Toronto's waterfront is not complete without a naturalized Don River mouth and the transformation of the Port Lands," says Ed Hore, chair of Waterfront for All. "Waterfront Toronto, the leading agency, makes a compelling case for all three levels of government to finally move ahead with secure funding the Port Lands flood protection."
The new umbrella organization is growing as groups from across Toronto are invited to join. Any individual or group can sign up on the website www.waterfrontforall.ca and get news about Toronto's Waterfront, the largest urban renewal project in North America. Ideas and support from all over the city are needed to grow new neighbourhoods and public spaces from Etobicoke to Scarborough.
Waterfront Toronto (WT) successfully leads the revitalization, winning many international awards for completed projects. Queens Quay on the Central Waterfront, for example, is a huge attraction for residents of the GTA and visitors. CEO of WT, Will Fleissig says: "Everyone in Toronto has two neighbourhoods, their own and the Waterfront." Another good reason to be part of Waterfront for All!
Farewell to John Campbell
John Campbell is stepping down after 12 years as CEO of Waterfront Toronto (WT). He has navigated many beautiful projects through choppy waters on the Waterfront, and has prepared for new developments as far as the Port Lands. John's tremendous business skills and diplomacy made him a perfect leader of what is North America's largest urban renewal project. His popularity reached into the Waterfront communities, where he engaged residents and businesses in the planning of parks, streets, WaveDecks, Queens Quay redesign, boardwalks and new buildings in precinct plans. Our ideas were welcomed, as we soaked up lots of knowledge during hundreds of hours in committees and public and private meetings.
YQNA decided to throw a farewell party for John on a warm September evening on the pool deck of the Radisson Admiral Hotel overlooking the lake. Five other neighbourhood associations joined as hosts – from Gooderham Warts, West Don Lands, St. Lawrence, Toronto Islands and Bathurst Quay – as well as the Waterfront BIA. A large crowd of residents, business owners, planners, civil servants, politicians, architects and developers paid tribute to John.
Among the gifts was a new song, "T.O. the Waterfront," created by local artists Michael Colgrass and Anna Prodanou. It was dedicated to John and performed by the WBIA's Singing Ambassadors. Hear the song with Waterfront clips on YouTube. Another gift from residents was a one-of-a-kind book of images, collected from many sources to capture the Waterfront transformation under John's tenure. The party was a heartfelt send-off for a person who is well-liked and will remain in Toronto's history as an important city builder. The new CEO of WT was not yet announced at this writing.
Intelligent Community of the Year
CEO of Waterfront Toronto John Campbell (left) has reason to smile, as he receives the prize for The Intelligent Community of the Year in New York City. He shared the stage with Cristina Verner, director of Intelligent Communities, which awarded the prize, and IBM executive John Longbottom. The prestigious honour was based on our own neighbourhood and lands extending east to the Port Lands, getting Canada's most advanced broadband Internet service. Every home and business will have access this super fast one-gigabyte network — for video conferences to film editing and emailing your grandmother. It will open the Waterfront to unparalleled economic opportunities and competitiveness. This is yet another international prize for Waterfront Toronto, and we will all be winners.

Of course, you didn't. The media is too busy obsessing over Russiagate fake news.
According to the Washington Examiner (via Newsmax) officials are looking into multiple proposals, site studies are ongoing, and money is available to work on the project, according to Byron York, writing in the Examiner.
The work on the wall is under the auspices of Trump's Jan. 25 executive order, which put forth the Trump administration policy for "the immediate construction of a physical wall," the Examiner report said.
The order also cited the Secure Fence Act from 2006 that called for fencing and barriers for up to 700 miles of the 1,954-mile border. In 2015, the Department of Homeland Security reported that 1,300 miles of the 1,954 miles of the border have no coverage. Only 2 percent of the border has the amount of fencing that the Secure Fence Act requires, the Examiner said.
"The executive order calls on the authority in the Secure Fence Act for us to begin immediately," a senior administration official said, according to the Examiner. U.S. Customs and Border Protection has gotten more than 100 proposals for full-scale prototypes of wall designs, the Examiner report said.
"We are evaluating what started out as a solicitation to industry and request for proposals—18 to 30 feet high, impenetrable, hard-to-scale, the correct aesthetics," the official told the Examiner. "We've tried to capture the intent (of Trump's order) in the requests for proposals, and those proposals are being evaluated now."
The 2017 budget resolution provided "in the neighborhood of $900 million" for proposals and prototypes, the official said. He added, however, that the $900 million figure would provide upgrades to current fencing and engineering, design, and real estate work.
What's more, President Donald Trump said he's going to ask Congress to write legislation that will bar those coming to America from tapping into taxpayer entitlements for a period of five years. ALL THOSE WHO COME HERE.
All hail the Trumpster.

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), working with the Ministry of Health, is organising intensive care training for local doctors in Gaza from 25 to 27 June 2013. The course will be run at the Al Shifa hospital. Owing to the Israeli blockade in place since 2007, Palestinian doctors find it very difficult to leave Gaza to receive specialist training.
The blockade, set up when Hamas came to power in Gaza in June 2007, imposes tight restrictions on people's movements and access to goods. In addition to its economic impact, with the rise in unemployment and poverty, the blockade also affects the health sector. Patients who cannot be treated in Gaza have to ask for authorisation to leave the territory and travel to foreign hospitals, or Palestinian hospitals in the West Bank, for treatment. Delays in exit permits granted by the Israeli authorities often cause patients' health to deteriorate. Doctors living in Gaza are also affected by the blockade. Since it is very hard for them to leave Gaza, they are unable to receive training to update their medical knowledge and thus improve the way that they treat the pathologies that affect the people of Gaza.
In response to this situation, MSF is making efforts to meet the needs of the Palestinian people, particularly by providing access to certain treatments. "Although the medical system in Gaza is functional, the support and training that medical staff need to treat patients in intensive care situations has now become an issue that MSF wishes to tackle," explains Tommaso Fabbri, head of mission in Gaza.
Patients in intensive care units are the most at-risk patients in the hospital environment. In January 2011, following a series of assessments implemented in partnership with the Ministry of Health, MSF decided to set up an intensive care programme with several facets. In addition to the training courses for Gazan doctors offered at the Al Shifa hospital, MSF will be sending specialist medical equipment technicians to the Nasser de Khan Younis hospital in southern Gaza. They will provide the hospital with technical support so that it can optimise its use of intensive care equipment. An MSF nurse has been giving staff at the Nasser hospital intensive care training since March 2013, using a bedside teaching approach. MSF also plans to develop its intensive care support programme by offering physiotherapy training in the near future.
MSF will use the 25 to 27 June training programme to offer a group of around thirty doctors clinical teaching with a focus on technical support. The goal is to develop the medical staff's knowledge, skills and attitude so that they are better equipped to treat seriously ill patients.
The training offered by MSF draws on a programme developed by the Chinese University of Hong Kong, a recognised training programme supervised by a group of international specialists. Training modules address comprehensive treatment of patients suffering from reversible serious illnesses. The programme has been approved by the International Pan Arab Critical Care Medicine Society (IPACCMS) and the World Federation of Societies of Intensive and Critical Care Medicine. Trainees will take part in sixteen modules spread over three days. At the end of the programme, participants will validate their training with a test and receive a certificate from the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
MSF has been active at the Nasser de Khan Younis hospital in Gaza since 2010. It runs a specialist hand surgery programme and secondary reconstructive surgery for domestic burn victims. Patients at the MSF clinic in Gaza receive post-operative care in the form of physiotherapy and wound dressings. In Nablus, on the West Bank, MSF runs a psycho-social and health care programme. MSF has been working in the Palestinian Territories since 1989.

White House shocked to hear about AP's phone records being investigated
It's a good thing the White House holds those press briefings, because how else would the President of the United States and his staff learn what's going on in the world? Obama doesn't get to watch TV during the day, so he learns about breaking scandals the same time the rest of us do, and sometimes much later. It's no surprise, then, that White House Press Secretary Jay Carney claims the White House didn't know anything about Eric Holder and the Justice Department pulling the phone records of AP reporters.
The Department of Justice? That's just another independent organization, like the IRS or the State Department or the Vice President or @barackobama.
Jay Carney says WH had no knowledge before today's press reports of Justice Dept attempt to obtain seek phone records of the AP reporters.
— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) May 13, 2013
Carney further says WH "not involved in decisions" involving Justice Dept criminal investigations which "are handled independently" by DOJ.
— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) May 13, 2013
President's spokesman Carney tonight: "other than press reports, we have no knowledge of any attempt by Justice Dept. to seek (AP records)"

Carney: "Other than press reports, we have no knowledge of any attempt by the Justice Department to seek phone records of the AP."

Smart Power!™ MT .@jimacostacnn: Carney: we have no knowledge of any attempt by the DOJ to seek phone records of the AP
— ChampionCapua (@ChampionCapua) May 13, 2013
Can u ask Carney what decisions the WH is INVOLVED in?Sounds like NONE. EVER. @markknoller " WH not involved in decisions" involving DOJ"
— DinahLord (@DinahLord) May 13, 2013
"The buck stops, uh, over there." MT @jimacostacnn: Carney: we have no knowledge of any attempt by the DOJ to seek phone records of the AP

Carney Re: DOJ/AP: "we know Nothing". I'm shocked.
— Pistol Pete (@Petemoss51) May 13, 2013
So is Jay Carney now distancing the WH from the DOJ? Doesn't matter, no one believes anything that liar says @presssec
— gary grams (A) (@garygramscom) May 13, 2013
Jay Carney knows nothing about anything…what an embarrassment
— PAG (@AgingRepublican) May 13, 2013
It seems the White House is involved in nothing.
— Brendan Buck (@Brendan_Buck) May 13, 2013
… and that's the way they'd like to keep it, thanks.

SANTA ANA — Sometimes when he's behind the microphone, the world turns to gold for Bud Young.
"Last Saturday was so beautiful," the silver-haired entertainer enthused. "When I finished singing, the entire place stood up and applauded. I felt like I'd just stepped out of the United Nations or something. Tears almost come to my eyes from the appreciation they show me. I always hit them with my best shot and I walk off the stage satisfied, happy. And I share it all, too, because if they don't applaud I wouldn't have anything to share with anybody."
That said, Young gets back up to sing, not on the stage of an opera house or even a jazz club, but at a far-from-crowded karaoke bar. He launches into "Mack the Knife," accompanied by a canned, taped band backing and TV monitors rolling off follow-the-bouncing-ball lyrics.
Six nights a week Young haunts the karaoke bars, waiting his turn to be a momentary star alongside amateur saloon singers, tipsy office workers and on-a-dare kids. The waitresses and regulars all know him in a string of karaoke bars stretching from Fullerton--where he lives--to the Newport Peninsula.

One of my granddaughters came to say 'hello' recently and shared that she had been looking at the passage in Matthew 6 where Jesus tells his listeners to 'consider the lilies of the field'. She knows it is a favourite passage of mine, but she wasn't sure that she had the same idea, the same concept, as I had in my 'mind's eye'. The conversation caused me to think of ways that could help her to envisage God 'clothing' the lilies of the field.
I had to 'consider' very carefully just how to present a picture in her 'mind's eye' of God 'clothing' the lilies. After all, it is a privilege to have such a discussion with one of my grandchildren. I couldn't let such an opportunity pass me by.
Question: How many people just skip through the Bible passage and are left with a mental image of humans being 'clothed'? That is not what the passage is on about.
The passage in the King James version of Matthew 6: 26-30 reads:
"Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
And yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?"
Ah, thought I, … time-lapse photography would do the job. Whilst not of lilies the New Scientist has a time-lapse film of an acorn growing into a sapling oak. Youtube has many videos of lilies budding, opening up and blooming, but the acorn video is in more detail.
Science may use different terms to that of Religion but both disciplines are referring to the same things in the world we inhabit.
Dorothy L. Sayers says in "Creed or Chaos" (p. 43)
"She, (i.e., the Church) must insist strongly that the whole material universe is an expression and incarnation of the creative energy of God, as a book or a picture is the material expression of the creative soul of the artist. For that reason all good and creative handling of the material universe is holy and beautiful and all abuse of the material universe is a crucifixion of the body of Christ…"
Strange words indeed to those who haven't encountered them before today, but not to those who are familiar with the Christian Creeds in particular the Athanasian Creed.
Sayers continues:
It is not true at all that dogma is 'hopelessly irrelevant' to the life and thought of the average man. What is true is that ministers of the Christian religion often assert that it is, present it for consideration as though it were, and, in fact, by their faulty exposition of it make it so.
The central dogma of the Incarnation is that by which relevance stands or falls. If Christ was only man, then He is entirely irrelevant to any thought about God; if He is only God, then He is entirely irrelevant to any experience of human life. It is, in the strictest sense, necessary to the salvation of relevance that a man should believe rightly the Incarnation of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Unless he believes rightly, there is not the faintest reason why he should believe at all. And in that case, it is wholly irrelevant to chatter about 'Christian principles'…"
