Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly.
Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day.
Success is steady progress toward one's personal goals.
Success is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.
If you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree.
Character isn't something you were born with and can't change, like your fingerprints. It's something you weren't born with and must take responsibility for forming.
Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know.
Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live.
Work harder on yourself than you do on your job.
Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.
How long should you try? Until.
Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
Failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day.
Ideas can be life-changing. Sometimes all you need to open the door is just one more good idea.
Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion.
Make measurable progress in reasonable time.
Miss a meal if you have to, but don't miss a book.
The few who do are the envy of the many who only watch.
The major reason for setting a goal is for what it makes of you to accomplish it. What it makes of you will always be the far greater value than what you get.
Part of your heritage in this society is the opportunity to become financially independent.
Some people plant in the spring and leave in the summer. If you're signed up for a season, see it through. You don't have to stay forever, but at least stay until you see it through.
Money is usually attracted, not pursued.
Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying the basic fundamentals.
Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.

Key Stage 3
With the designation of The King's School as a Specialist Sports College, the opportunity for all children to achieve personal excellence in particular activity areas is greatly enhanced. We are offering an increasingly diverse programme within the curriculum to enable all students to foster a healthy lifestyle and develop a positive attitude towards fitness for life.
Years 7-9
All students follow a range of activities during Years 7 - 9 from the games, athletics and aesthetic curriculum areas. We will build on skills learnt in the primary schools, teach a range of new skills and also give the students the opportunity to refine more complex movements and sequences. Within activities, students will experience a variety of roles and be helped to plan, perform and appraise sequences of movement created by themselves and others.
All students are made aware of sportsmanship, fair play and the importance of team work. Students are also made fully aware of the safety requirements of each activity and the necessity for safe practice at all times. They will be shown how to prepare for particular activities and how to recover afterwards; the value of exercise in establishing and maintaining health and how to continue with a variety of sporting activities in local clubs within the community.
All students in Year 8 follow a leadership unit where they develop skills of communication, organisation, responsibility and safety awareness. Students under-go continual assessment in all these areas.
Lunchtime clubs & Extra Curricular Sport
At present the school offers a wide range of lunch-time and after-school clubs in 75 activities. This continues to develop as we seek to provide the very best provision for every student.
All students are encouraged to develop their skills by attending one or more of these clubs and gain representative honours by playing for a school team.
All students will represent their house in at least one activity.

Leisure magazine publisher Future has said it will keep up investment in both the UK and the US despite "challenging" trading conditions and a dip in revenue.
The group today reported a 2% year-on-year drop in revenue for the six months to the end of March and said trading profits for the full year would be about £2m lower than forecast.
In a trading update, Future said: "Trading has remained challenging. Profits continue to be affected by the structural shift to digital distribution, particularly in our largest segment, video-gaming."
However the board said it was seeing a strong return on investment from digital and would continue to invest in growing the business.
Future has announced two new UK launches in the past month – a quarterly car technology magazine called iCar which will launch on 18 May and a new monthly magazine on fabric crafts called Mollie Makes, which goes on sale on 12 May.

Anderson Silva returned to the octagon after a 13-month absence with a win over Nick Diaz at UFC 183.
Silva, whose clowning cost him his consciousness in his first bout with Chris Weidman, endured Nick Diaz's clowning throughout the fight but little else. Silva characteristically employed fists, elbows, knees, and feet to carve up his opponent and win convincingly. But the 39-year-old's performance, decisioning a semi-retired, blown-up welterweight tailor-made for the former middleweight champion's skillset, may not have convinced fans that a prime Spider will ever return after his horrifying leg break from a Chris Weidman checked kick in late 2013.
"This is a very important moment for me and for my whole family," Silva explained after the fight. "I've been through a lot of stuff in the past year, everything I went through. In the beginning, I didn't think I would be able to come back."
The judges saw the fight 50-45, 50-45, and 49-46 for the Brazilian.
The main card witnessed welterweight Tyrone Woodley edge Kevin Gastelum on the cards, lightweight Al Iaquinta extend his winning streak to three with a stoppage of Joe Lauzon, middleweight Thales Leites play sandman to Tim Boetsch via an arm-triangle choke, and Thiago Alves end Jordan Mein's night with a second-round body kick followed by punches.
"In the second round my coach told me to punch and kick at the same time so I could break that gap," Alves reflected after his eighth consecutive win. "He's a little bit taller than me, so I had trouble closing the distance in the first round. I know Mein is the number 13 ranked guy in the division, without a doubt I'm in the top ten. I've been with the organization for 10 years and the division needs to know I'm back. I'd like to stay a lot more active and fight at least two more times this year."

Sheridan claims that Cherry lost his temper and allegedly hit her after she complained about the lines in a scene, and later killed off her character, Edie Brit, in retaliation.
"I am grateful to have my day in court," Sheridan said outside the courtroom.
But inside, she was visibly agitated on the stand. The defense pursued her in questioning, suggesting that she was difficult, pestering the big boss for better lines. Sheridan said she was just trying to make the show funnier. In an attempt to dispute Sheirdan's retaliation claims, Cherry's attorney's showed a montage of clips from the show in which 47 other characters were shot, whacked, or stricken with a fatal heart attack.
Cherry and Touchstone Pictures contend that Sheridan had a recurring role in the show but that she was not contracted as a series regular. Under questioning by defense attorneys, Sheridan acknowledged that the main women on the show received awards or nominations for best lead actress. But Sheridan received only one nomination, for best supporting actress.
While the defense spent 12 minutes questioning Sheridan about the degree of the alleged battery, Sheridan's attorney, Marc Baute, maintains there is no difference between a hit and a slap under the law, saying "a hit is a hit."
The defense declined comment Friday but said they look forward to Cherry's testimony.
"We believe strongly in the merits of the case and we're looking forward to an airing of the evidence," said Cherry's attorney, Mark Levin.
Cherry said he "lightly tapped her [Sheridan's] head in giving her direction for a scene." His defense team showed the jury a scene Sheridan shot after her continued demands for a better line in the dialogue and after the confrontation.
Sheridan's attorney said a request for script changes is part of the business.
"Your collaborative goal is to improve the show, the women on the show should not be conditioned to be afraid to raise that view point and share that viewpoint at the risk of getting hit in the face," Baute said.
Next week, both sides will bring in experts. Sheridan's witness will say producers never kill off key characters, Cherry's expert is expected to say just the opposite.
Disney is the parent company of ABC7 and Touchstone Television Productions.

There are 118 elements on the periodic table and 3-year-old Brielle can name them all.
She recently appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and not only does she know the name of every single element, she can list off facts about them. We saw her adorable performance on BuzzFeed first.
Host Ellen DeGeneres quizzed her on a few elements during the live show. Brielle got every single one right and even knew that potassium helps our nerves function, iodine kills bacteria, and white phosphorous burns underwater.
It's safe to say that Brielle schooled "Harry Potter" actor Daniel Radcliffe who merely sang the periodic table of elements on The Graham Norton Show a few years ago.
"You're 3 years old how do you remember all this?" DeGeneres asked Brielle.
"My little brain just remembers!" Brielle said.
Brielle revealed that she also knows all the states and capitals, and all the US presidents.
She even named her dog after the element Copernecium — "Nikki" for short.
We're embarrassed to say we had to look that one up.
Here's the whole clip:

Woman Injured in House Fire Expects to Be Back in VC This Weekend
Heidi Harris
Wednesday, January 27, 2016
Arlene Kirschenman, who was injured in a house fire in Valley City Sunday, told the Times-Record she is recovering well and is expecting to be back in Valley City this weekend.
Kirschenman, 82, is being treated at a Fargo hospital for smoke inhalation. Her husband Art, 85, died.
Valley City Fire Chief Gary Retterath said it appears a gas water heater caused the fire, but there will be further investigation into that.
Firefighters fought the blaze from just before 3 a.m. Sunday until noon.

I find the Bernie or Bust crowd infuriatingly irrational.
I've argued before that a Hillary Clinton presidency would be a boon to the progressive movement. I think my argument was well-reasoned and well-supported. But Bernie-or-Busters -- or simply, BoBs -- seem impervious to reason and evidence. Bernie or Bust is a religion, one in which Hillary Clinton plays the part of evil itself, while Bernie is some demigod sent to earth to save humanity.
I'm hardly exaggerating. Here's what one BoB says about Hillary: "We are not going to vote for the demon named Hillary just because you are threatening us with the devil named Trump." I have BoB Facebook friends who speak as though there is absolutely no difference between Hillary and Donald Trump: "I despise both of them. They are both disgusting and appalling beyond description. I have no answers."
And here's a sampling of Bernie worship. "You give me hope and strength to keep living, Bernie Sanders." "Bernie, from where I was standing yesterday in Madison, you looked Olympian...I'm not much of a religious man by any stretch. But I promise you this: the almighty has smiled on you." "You have restored my hope in good and it gives me strength to fight for another day." "I get goose bumps just looking at you."
I like Bernie. I respect Bernie. Had he won the nomination, I'd have a Feel the Bern bumper sticker on my car right now. But Bernie is not Christ incarnate. In the Bush years he cast a significant vote for the gun lobby. In an interview with the New York Daily News he couldn't explain how he would carry out his plan to break up the banks. PolitiFact has rated a higher percentage of Bernie's statements as being false than it has for Hillary.
And Hillary really isn't as bad as BoBs believe. She might be to the right of the Vermont socialist, but she's solidly left of center, and there's every reason to expect her to continue pushing the Obama agenda if elected. Obama, of course, is no dyed in the wool progressive but a left-leaning pragmatist. But for some reason BoBs have not demonized him. Although Obama would certainly fail any progressive purity test, BoBs nonetheless praise him for advancing important progressive policies.
BoBs, it seems, can only be explained in psychological terms. I don't intend to deliver some smug psychoanalysis here, but I don't know how else to explain their jaw-dropping irrationality. I'm reminded of Ernest Becker, who eloquently argued that humans can't help but engage in transference, a term traditionally used to describe the process in which therapy patients unknowingly transfer the feelings of dependence and awe they once felt for their parents onto their therapist. Becker broadened the definition of transference, writing that deep down we're all essentially scared children, scared by the many uncertainties and cruelties of existence, and so we unconsciously go around adopting new transference figures.
That is to say, in order to assuage our existential anxieties, we basically endow certain people with an exaggerated sense of goodness and power. We then put our trust in these figures, depend on them, and in so doing have our deepest anxieties relieved, just as children lean on their parents to relieve their deepest anxieties. Some people deal with their anxieties by leaning on the divine, others by leaning on romantic partners or celebrities or politicians.
So I think many BoBs have done something like this. They've unconsciously made Bernie into a super-human. For them, Bernie really does approach moral perfection, and of course when you're on the side of pure goodness, you necessarily view your enemies -- e.g., Hillary Clinton in the primaries -- as manifestations of evil. And so now that the great Bern has fallen, BoBs can't help but continue seeing Hillary this way. Even though -- to repeat myself -- she's a solidly left of center candidate who would further the progressive cause.
Sadly, the casualty of this holy war might not just be Hillary Clinton but the progressive movement itself and consequently the millions of Americans whose well-being depends upon this movement's success.

Alcohol and Drug Policy :
MeriPustak has adopted this policy which is designed towards a positive approach so as to achieve a workplace free
from substance abuse of any kind such as alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, tobacco etc.
A. How it affects the workplace :
We are all aware of the grave consequences which arise due to the consumption of illegal substances, alcohol and the
like. It affects a person's performance, judgment of work, co-ordination and hence leading to poor co-operation,
absenteeism and inefficiency. It makes the employee unreliable increasing the possibility of mishaps, problems and
disturbances thereby endangering the safety of their co- workers. Use of such substances contributes to crores of
rupees of lost productivity and thousands of work mishaps in the workplace every year.
B. Principles of the policy :
The company strictly prohibits the use of alcohol, drugs and cigarettes and no employee shall be tolerated if found
under the influence or possession of such in the library premises during working hours. The company takes alcohol and
drug abuse as a very serious matter as it affects the well-being of an individual and its surrounding and most
importantly because it is a counter productive work matter.
Reasonable suspicion may include
Under this policy,
C. Why it is important
Employees are considered the most important resource and it is crucial that a safe and healthy working environment is provided for all the employees. This policy therefore basically aims towards the promotion of safety , good health and welfare of the entire workforce.
It promotes a healthy lifestyle by encouraging the employees to refrain from abusive substances for their overall development.
It aims to
D.No Employee Support
MeriPustak will not support those employees who get caught or are found involved in the use, possession, sale or transfer of such illegal substances. Adverse employment action will be taken and they will be forced to temporarily refrain from work whilst taking help from the general practioner to ensure their own safety and the safety of others.
Contravention of this policy is gross misconduct and the company will take disciplinary action for breaching of these rules which may lead to termination of the employees or summary dismissal. They may be asked to temporarily refrain from work and get help from outside. In case of possession of illegal drugs, it shall be reported to the police for criminal prosecution.We expect all employees to co-operate on this policy and these rules are to be followed while you are on work premises and while conducting work matters.

FINRA has suspended a former J.P. Morgan rep for 18 months and fined him $10,000 for allegedly engaging in a check-kiting scheme.
The regulator accused Jon DeBow of writing 38 checks totaling $46,280 from two personal J.P. Morgan bank accounts that it claims did not have sufficient funds to cover the checks. DeBow allegedly wrote the checks from one of the accounts, deposited them into the other account and then immediately withdrew a portion or the entire amount of the deposited checks, according to FINRA's recent disciplinary filing.
"DeBow knew at the time the checks were deposited that he did not have sufficient funds to cover the checks, and he acted to obtain funds from the bank," FINRA charged.
The regulator noted that shortly after the checks were returned for insufficient funds, DeBow deposited funds into his bank accounts to cover the deficit.
DeBow did not return a voice message left at Ramirez Asset Management, where he works as a senior vice president of marketing for the firm's institutional fixed income business. In his settlement with FINRA, DeBow neither admitted nor denied the charges, but consented to an entry of FINRA's findings.
DeBow worked for J.P. Morgan Investment Management in New York from October 2002 to April 2015, when he was discharged, according to his BrokerCheck report. He was also simultaneously employed by and registered with J.P. Morgan Institutional Investments.
Michael Fusco, a spokesman for Chase Wealth Management, declined to comment.

Telecommunications in its simplest form is the transmission of messages over significant distances with the intent to communicate. Since the revolution of wireless communications in the first decade of the 20th century, telecommunications now plays a huge role in the global economy. Telecommunications revenue reached $1.7 trillion dollars in 2008 and is expected to reach nearly $3 trillion by 2013.
Whether it is on a micro or macroeconomic level, a strong telecommunication infrastructure has a lot to do with the level of success. Mobile telecommunications has enabled people to be productive and stay in close contact with co-workers regardless of location.
The city of Dubai is a developing city with major construction projects that include tourist attractions, business complexes, and a manmade island. With the large amount of real estate development and a massive increase of the general population, the need for a solid telecommunications infrastructure in Dubai is critical to its future success. Telecommunications jobs are readily available in Dubai because of the nature of the city and the basis of its economy. Dubai's vision of being a progressive city on the cutting edge goes hand in hand with the need for a strong telecommunications platform. Business and civic leaders have made it a priority, which has lead to many job opportunities in the field being available.
The current state of the job sector is strong with the outlook seemingly brighter. As the local and global economy improves additional resources to create more telecommunications jobs will be available.

I've been here a few weeks, looking around and starting to post in a few places.. it's good to find somewhere that feels safe, and where I can be me (though at the moment I don't know what that means.)
I've been suffering PSTD for about 18 months, since my past resurfaced, and have just been diagnosed with DID... and don't understand much about it.
It's great to be somewhere i can ask questions and get to know people without being afraid of how they will react.
Thank you to all of you for making it such a welcoming place.

Yummy Mini Watermelons
Here is a recipe (well, more like instructions) for making some really adorable mini-watermelons from baby cucumbers and watermelon hearts. They are great for lunches or as hors d'oeuvre. This recipe makes four, the perfect number for a box lunch.
- Begin by trimming the ends of the cucumbers, then cut a 2″ piece off each end.
- Set the middle section aside for other use (salads, etc).
- Stand each half-round piece on its end and use the small end of a melon baller to scoop a half-sphere out of each.
- Use the same technique to carve identical pieces out of the watermelon heart, and fit them into the cucumber, flat side up.
- If it doesn't sit flush, you can carefully trim the excess with a paring knife.
- Finish by pressing a moist finger to the black sesame seeds and using it to scatter them on the surface of the melon.
- You will need a melon baller and sharp knife.

Tamagozake in winter white
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Traditionally, tamagozake is a Japanese warm sake, raw whole egg and sugar drink thought to help cure a cold. It is a Japanese egg nog. My version adds fresh grated ginger, lemon, and honey while using only the egg white. I also have added spices to my version. This looks like a whole snowy mountain top in a glass, worthy of a haiku. I really like the way it tastes, too. —Sagegreen
Serves: 1
farm fresh egg white, beaten until very fluffy
tablespoons milkweed honey (or other varietal of your choice) to taste
tablespoon Meyer's lemon juice
cup warmed sake, heated below boiling
teaspoon peeled, grated fresh ginger
Meyer lemon peel twist wrapped around a cinnamon stick for garnish
optional dried ground ginger or grated nutmeg and cinnamon sprinkled on top
- After beating the egg white until fluffy, mix the honey and lemon juice with it.
- Whisk in your heated sake to the egg white mixture. Stir in the fresh grated ginger.
- Pour this into your glass. Garnish with lemon peel twist wrapped along a delicate cinnamon stick. You can tuck the lemon peel at one end into a crease of the cinnamon. Sprinkle optional dried ground ginger or grated nutmeg and cinnamon on top.

Hold Off On Putting Names To Those Tasks
Often times in iteration planning teams task out the stories, put people's names on the tasks and have them estimate the tasks. Each person gets an understanding of what they're slotted to take on in the iteration and can then determine if it is reasonable to commit to the iteration content. While the names are often "in pencil" and subject to change based on how the iteration goes, there are good reasons not to put them on there at this point.
The first reason has to do with iteration planning itself. Once someone else's name is put on the task, others will tend to focus less on making sure they understand it. Similarly, the estimate is often done just by the person slotted to do it. Both of these become an issue if someone else needs to take on the task. Even if the original person does the work, it can mean the rest of the team is less aware of its implications.
Secondly, the commitment tends to be a bunch of individual commitments rather than a team commitment. People commit to what they've been slotted to do. This encourages focus on individual success rather than team success. It doesn't matter if that person gets their tasks done or not. It matters whether the team is successful in the stories for the iteration. By not putting names on the tasks, you force a more team oriented commitment.
Just as important is the behavior that holding off on putting names on the tasks encourages within the iteration. If a person finishes their first task, they'll move on to the next one with their name on it even if that task is less important than others not being worked yet. By not putting a name until someone is working on it, you encourage people to take on the most important one that they can help with. This reinforces team behavior and keeps the team focused on the higher priority items.
Once you start deferring name association, you can start refining it a bit. People should take on the highest priority task that they can help with. They shouldn't take on more than 1 or 2 tasks at a time. Etc. This helps to establish flow. You can track it in your agile tool of choice or on a kanban board.
How do you determine how much to take on? You can do so by totaling up the hours and comparing to previous iterations or you can skip task estimates and simply go with story points vs. velocity.
Some times little things can make a big difference. With one of the teams I've been working with recently, simply deferring putting names to tasks definitely fell into this category. It helped a lot with team work, focus and productivity. Give it a try.

The Three Delays of Maternal Mortality
"Most people aren't even aware about how to identify complications, and men as heads of households aren't aware of the importance of referring their wives, or they are too poor and don't have the means."
Approximately 560,000 women die in pregnancy and childbirth every year. These deaths are preventable. There are many factors affecting whether or not women will be able to access the treatment necessary to save their lives. This photo essay explores the 'three delays' approach related to maternal death.
In the 1990s an important article by D. Maine was published entitled "Too Far to Walk: Maternal Mortality in Context". By looking at cases of maternal death, the researcher was able to identify three delays that often determine life or death for a woman experiencing complications in child birth. This conceptual framework has been important in understanding why women die of treatable pregnancy related complications.The delays are determined as:
- The delay to seek care
- The delay to reach proper medical services
- The delay in accessing quality care at a health care facility
A man pushes a pregnant woman in a wheelbarrow on an emergency visit to a clinic in Zambia.
It is recognized that the faster each delay is dealt with, the greater chances that mother and baby will survive and be able to live free of any long-term injuries.
Making the decision to seek medical care when complications arise during childbirth can be more complicated than it seems. First, the birthing mother, attendant or family member must have the ability to recognize an obstetric complication. Knowing that there is help and treatment for problems that arise may also pose a challenge.
Even if the birthing mother or attendant acknowledges the need for medical attention, accessing care outside the home may not be the birthing woman's choice to make. Cultural and societal factors may complicate the process. A woman may not hold much power in the family; she may need the permission of her husband, mother-in-law or senior co-wives to access care. There may also be deeply engrained societal norms or expectations about childbirth, for example, women are expected to be silent during labour.
"She can't decide herself to come to the hospital because of family pressure," Sadou said. "Her parents might refuse to listen to her when the contractions are underway. Traditionally, she must not show the pain, and her babies die, and she is injured."
Dimol's Director, Salamatou Traoré
The second delay is the delay to reach proper medical services. Once the decision has been made to access quality care, arriving at a location or contacting a skilled health provider can present an enormous challenge. Communication and transportation are significant barriers in enabling women to access life saving care.
"I tried to get together enough people to carry her to the clinic, but there was no one around," her husband said. "After she died, I felt sad for a long time. I could not work. The children suffered too. We survived on handouts from the church."
It may be night time; roads are often treacherous with limited transportation options. Weather is also a factor, particularly in countries that experience monsoons, heavy snow fall and extreme heat. Horses and donkeys, bicycles with attached carts, walking, and being carried by family and friends are all common ways that women in low-resource countries, particularly in rural areas, may arrive to receive medical care. Financial constraints can also make it difficult for a family to obtain the necessary transportation to reach a medical facility.
Buwenge Health Center in the Jinja District of Uganda
"She started pouring blood late in the evening just after evening prayers [5:00 pm]....we took her to the main road [tarred road] to look for transport. We were there [main road] up to twelve midnight but couldn't get transport. All the vehicles that came were full. We went back home and woke up early morning the following day to catch the first transports".
After deciding to access care and arriving at a medical centre, accessing quality care at a health care facility is another life threatening delay. This depends on a number of factors, such as the number and skill level of staff; the availability of drugs, supplies and blood; and the general condition of the facility. Women have also reported prejudice and maltreatment on the part of medical personnel; this contributes to their reluctance in visiting medical centres.
Other delays may be due to an overworked staff that is unable to treat the woman in a timely manner and a delay in accessing the appropriate medical care. Staff may not know the proper treatment; there may be a lack of hospital protocols. In resource-poor settings and in conflict zones, hospitals may not have regular access to clean water and electricity. Many patients in rural settings would need to be transported to an urban area for procedures such as blood transfusions or caesarean sections. Upon arrival they may find the medical centre closed, a lack of personnel, or a lack of blood or other essential medical supplies. Patients are often expected to purchase their medications and blood. This may be impossible for a family that has spent what little savings they have on arriving at a medical centre. Even when a family has the funds, they may find shortages or that the pharmacy is closed when the supplies are needed.
"She was pouring blood at home so we took her to the health centre. There we were told she urgently needed blood but blood bags were not available. She was then transferred to the hospital [60 km away]. At the hospital blood bags were finished. She was in the hospital from mid-day up to the following day in the evening but had not received blood. Late at night she died".
"We took her to the health centre in the village... she was examined by the nurse who later transferred her to another health centre [44 km away]. There she spent the night and the following morning she was again transferred to the hospital [36 km away]. On our way to the hospital we had to cross the river at two different crossing points. Immediately after we reached the hospital she died".
The patient came to the health centre at around 4:00 pm... she cannot be managed here because she may need an operation [caesarean section]. We planned to evacuate her to the hospital but our ambulance had a breakdown a week ago. We looked for transport in the village throughout the night but could not get one. The following morning we went to the agricultural department to look for transport but their vehicle had already left for trek. It returned around 11:00 am and thereafter it came to transport the patient to the hospital".

I sometimes make out to Sports Center ( I wonder what my dad will think when he reads this title)
We're ranked 7th right now... I KNOW I am not on the team, but I LOVE this team, I've loved them since I was a little girl, I love them so much, I actually catch my breath every time they go to the line for a free throw, that's right.. I hold my breath and hope with all my might that , that ball goes in..I mean hello " Winners make free throws! " my blood pressure goes up, and my head aches the whole game...I need my cushion (that means a lead by no less than12) please let me have a cushion...For the love of Pete, let's not lose at home...if you trail at the end of the first half, you better come out strong in the 2nd half....What's that? a player wants to leave early for the NBA, no on this team (well not that often)
The ACC tournament started last night...and then March Madness starts...you don't know what March Madness is.. hmmm The BCS should take note...it's a college basketball tournament...this determines the best of the best and anything is possible, (i'll explain this more on sunday, now is not the time) Right now, before the madness, it's conference play time, who's the best in the conference, and the Atlantic Coast Conference is the strongest of them all...which is why my heart is pounding and I can't seem to catch my breath.. I want Duke to win so bad!! Please let us win, please! WE had a hard year last year, and this year we've done so well, with such a young team..we've come so far...Winning the conference will prove that you should NEVER underestimate how are you far can go if you REALLY want it, and I really want it for them...
I'm going to miss the game tonight because I have to work, but no worries Charlotte will text me the play by play as told to her by her husband...and I will check my phone every two minutes for that update and holler if I don't get one...cause I panic when I don't get one...
if they lose, bless those that bring it up, cause it won't be pretty! and for my family's sake, let them win so they don't have to put up with my bitterness...they love me so much they feel bad for me when Duke loses (except for Joe who will tease me relentlessly , until mom makes him stop)
and if they do win....I love to watch the highlights on sports center....

You need to switch to Carolina, who did win, by the way! (sorry had to rub it in a little!)
In other news though, this week because the ACC was here in Charlotte, and G has a barbershop at the Hilton Hotel, where the Duke players stayed, he got to meet two of them and cut their hair, and got their autographs;Number 55 Brian Zoubek and number 14 David McClure!

When Albert Einstein was making the rounds of the speaker's circuit, he usually found himself eagerly longing to get back to his laboratory work. One night as they were driving to yet another rubber-chicken dinner, Einstein mentioned to his chauffeur (a man who somewhat resembled Einstein in looks & manner) that he was tired of speechmaking.
"I have an idea, boss," his chauffeur said. "I've heard you give this speech so many times. I'll bet I could give it for you." Einstein laughed loudly and said, "Why not? Let's do it!" When they arrive at the dinner, Einstein donned the chauffeur's cap and jacket and sat in the back of the room. The chauffeur gave a beautiful rendition of Einstein's speech and even answered a few questions expertly.
Then a supremely pompous professor asked an extremely esoteric question about anti-matter formation, digressing here and there to let everyone in the audience know that he was nobody's fool. Without missing a beat, the chauffeur fixed the professor with a steely stare and said, "Sir, the answer to that question is so simple that I will let my chauffeur, who is sitting in the back, answer it for me."
"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed."

"Try to become not a man of success, but try rather to become
a man of value."

and feel with their own hearts."

- United Nations radio interview recorded in Einstein's study, Princeton, New Jersey, 1950.
"Bear in mind that the wonderful things you learn in your schools are the work of many generations, produced by enthusiastic effort and infinite labor in every country of the world.

"It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he does not really need a college. He can learn them from books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks."
- 1921, on Thomas Edison's opinion that a college education is useless; quoted in Frank, Einstein: His Life and Times, p. 185.
"Science will stagnate if it is made to serve practical goals."
- Quoted in Nathan and Norden, Einstein on Peace, p. 402.
"After a certain high level of technical skill is achieved, science and art tend to coalesce in esthetics, plasticity, and form. The greatest scientists are always artists as well."

"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us the "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

When Einstein died and arrived at the gates of heaven, St. Peter wouldn't let him in until he proved his identity. Einstein scribbled out a couple of his equations, and was admitted into paradise. And when Picasso died, St. Peter asked, "How do I know you're Picasso?" Picasso sketched out a couple of his masterpieces. St. Peter was convinced and let him in. When George W. Bush died, he went to heaven and met the man at the gates. "How can you prove to me you're George W. Bush?" Saint Peter said. Bush replied, "Well heck, I dont know." St. Peter says, "Well, Albert Einstein showed me his equations and Picasso drew his famous pictures. What can you do to prove you're George W. Bush?" Bush replies, "Who are Albert Einstein and Picasso?" St. Peter says, "It must be you, George, c'mon on in."-0+

"Imagination is more important than knowledge."
"Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love."
"I want to know God's thoughts; the rest are details."
"The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax."
"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."
"The only real valuable thing is intuition."
"A person starts to live when he can live outside himself."
"I am convinced that He (God) does not play dice."
"God is subtle but he is not malicious."
"Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character."
"I never think of the future. It comes soon enough."
"The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility."
"Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing."
"Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind."
"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."
"Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds."
"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler."
"Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen."
"Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it."
"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources."
"The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education."
"God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically."
"The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking."
"Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal."
"Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding."
"The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible."
"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."
"Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school."
"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing."
"Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater."
"Equations are more important to me, because politics is for the present, but an equation is something for eternity."
"If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut."
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."
"As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality."

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."
"In order to form an immaculate member of a flock of sheep one must, above all, be a sheep."
"The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead."
"Too many of us look upon Americans as dollar chasers. This is a cruel libel, even if it is reiterated thoughtlessly by the Americans themselves."
"Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism -- how passionately I hate them!"
"No, this trick won't work... How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?"
"My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind."
"Yes, we have to divide up our time like that, between our politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever."
"The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking... the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker."
"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence."
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
"A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death."
"The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge."
"Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."
"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."
"One had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examinations, whether one liked it or not. This coercion had such a deterring effect on me that, after I had passed the final examination, I found the consideration of any scientific problems distasteful to me for an entire year."
"... one of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought."
"He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."
"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
"Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts." (Sign hanging in Einstein's office at Princeton)
Albert Einstein used to go to dinners where he was invited to give a speech. One day, on his way to one of those dinners, he told his chauffeur (who looked exactly like him) that he was dead tired of giving the same speech, dinner after dinner.
"Well," said the chaffeur, "I've got a good idea. Why don't I give the speech since I've heard it so many times?' ' So Albert's chauffeur gave the speech perfectly and even answered a few questions. Then, a professor stood up and asked him a really tough question about anti-matter which the chauffeur couldn't answer
"Sir, the answer to your question is so easy that I'll let my chauffeur answer it!"
