Two weeks ago, Christie, Michelle, and the boys got home from Alaska. Couple of hours before she got here, Christie was texting me, and trying to get my attention, but the wifi had gone out at Melissa's, where I was babysitting Caroline since Melissa wasn't able to lift her yet. I got this hilarious text later on when the wifi came back.
"Please have my bedroom prepared with fresh flowers, the highest quality chocolates, lavender water, and sweet smelling candles. I wish to have my bath drawn for me when I walk in the door. Have my house slippers warming by the fire, and my robe laid out upon my bed. Don't let the dog in; I wish not to have dog hairs all over my freshly laundered sheets.
Oh, and the please was just a formality. I expect all of this to be done when I get home."
Of course I couldn't just not do anything....
I am so sorry I have taken so long to get back to you. The reasons are as follows.
The flowers died when I walked outside,
The chocolates crumbled when I stumbled.
The lavender water turned pungent when I tried to add some unguent,
And the candles decided to melt when I tried to add some felt.
The water ran out and I couldn't quite catch it,
And the slippers caught fire when I let the match to it.
I set the robe on your bed, as you wanted,
But the dog tore it up, and happily grunted.
He left the dog hairs all over your room,
And I couldn't start that blasted vacuum.
So you see, I tried quite hard,
But my work got ruined, charred!
The Butler"
The first thing I did when Christie got home was to give her a low bow. Oh, the love of two sisters.
The next week was filled with taking care of Patrick, Jacob, Caroline, AND Nathanael...Caroline and Patrick fought often, and Jacob and Nathanael just stayed cute.
Beforehand, when Caroline was smaller, Patrick would bully her and she couldn't do anything because she was too little. But now...oh now...
Patrick's first fight with Caroline was when he started poking her in the stomach and sticking his face in hers, giving her a 'whatcha-gonna-do-now' face.
She slapped him.
Then they started slapping each other until Christie intervened.
The next fight I saw (except for the constant bickering, which all kids do so that doesn't really count) was when Caroline saw my converses lying about and said "SHOE!" and raced to put them on. Patrick saw this and decided to get them first, so he put them on and started pushing Caroline away rather rudely.
So she bit his hand.
I ran up and spanked both of them, saying in turn, "Do NOT fight!" and "Do NOT bite!" while I tried hard not to laugh.
Melissa wondered if it was a bad thing to be glad your daughter was fighting back this time...
For fourth of July weekend, Michell and the kids went to see family with Michell's parents, and we spent the day at the LeBlanc's on Friday with the Morales'. It was a lot of fun.
We played soccer, fought with waterballoons and hoses, played ratchetball (which had the same principle as the British game Rhiannon taught us (I don't know how to spell it...but you SAY it 'bool', as in 'pool'), we rode the four-wheeler (and now I'm covered in poisons ivy but it was worth it) and finished the night off with sparklers and big fireworks, which were amazing.
I've been writing away, cleaning the upstairs library, and drawing a dream place of mine....and drinking lots of coffee.
To finish off today, I'll write and write and write and drink tea...and watch Doctor Who and Warehouse 13...and write and watch Doctor Who and drink tea...and watch MacGyver and drink coffee....
You get the general idea.
You get the general idea.
Happy 4th, y'all!

The Beach Lodge
Luxury log home with private sandy beach
Splendid views and a private sandy beach are among the many highlights of the Beach Lodge - the king of log homes.
If you've ever dreamt of the quintessential Canadian log home, the Beach Lodge is it. This 3500 sq. ft. home was built with spectacular hand-chiseled logs, some of which are 60 feet long and 2 feet thick. The design is open concept, with cathedral ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows. The log home is nestled amongst the trees, well above the high tide mark, and it enjoys picture-perfect views of St. Margaret's Bay and nearby islands.
The private beach, known locally as "Anne Murray's Beach", is shared by the occupants of only one other home. The sandy beach is protected, and perfect for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, and beach combing. And just around the corner, only a few minutes walk down the road, is Paddy's Head, widely considered to be one of the best scuba diving sites in Nova Scotia.
The property sits on approximately 6 acres of very private forested oceanfront land, and also features a large saltwater pond that hosts a variety of wildlife species and seabirds.
The open concept main floor boasts a large living room, kitchen, and dining area. The living room has an impressive fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the bay. The country style kitchen is a chef's delight, with granite countertops, a large island and all the modern appliances and tools you will need to cook up a storm. Two double bedrooms, and a full bathroom with a claw foot tub, make up the rest of the main floor plan.
A sizeable deck sits just off of the dining area and is perfect for enjoying a meal alfresco, or for simply enjoying the peace and tranquility of Nova Scotia nature at its best.
Upstairs, the open and spacious loft-style master bedroom looks down over the main floor and enjoys the most spectacular views of the ocean. The ensuite master bathroom offers an extra-large tiled shower, and enters into a large walk-in closet.
The finished lower level has a luxurious family room, perfect for relaxing or watching a movie on the large flat-screen TV. And if you're coming in from a swim in the ocean, why not jump into the tiled shower/steam room before heading upstairs. It's also worth mentioning that there is a utility room with a washer and dryer on this level.

We had a wonderful, fun and relaxing vacation here. Our young children (ages 5 and 2.5) loved exploring the beach and rocks for sea glass, shells and crab legs!

What hasn't already been written?
Eh bien disons-le une fois en Acadien.
Merci chers Huyen and Roger pour avoir revé ce lieu, puis réalisé votre rêve. Merci de le partager avec nous.
C'est de loin le plus beau et le plus harmonieux de la région.
Nous apprecions particulièrement les fenêtres qui invitent sans cesse l'exterieur à l'intérieur; l'abondance e la vie végétale et animale.
Les quilts sur les lits, les tableaux, les meubles et les lampes soigneusement choisies. Le feu de bois après la baignade.
L'ordre helvétique de la cave. Les variations d'éclairage au cours de la journée et de la nuit pleine-lune.
L'absence de moustiques ... et d'humains. Le bercement des vagues, l'odeur de la mer.
- Chi et Fredy Quenard, Genève, Suisse
Testimonials 2015
First impressions as we drove down the driveaway on a friday evening were fantastic and then moved to a new level as we moved through the house and took in the amazing views.
We had a sensational week here, with superb weather, stunning sunsets and a menagerie of wild visitors - squirrels, two families of geese on the bay and deers in the garden.
We felt really comfortable throughout our time here and have really enjoyed the surroundings inside and outside.
- Stuart, Karen and Samantha P., Edinburgh, Scotland
We had a relaxing time at the Beach Lodge; what a wonderful place to call home! Thank you for sharing.

So sorry to be leaving; we feel so much at home here. This is our second stay in this beautiful house and we have enjoyed every minute (even the foggy and rainy ones).
After our first stay, we knew that we would have to return. This is the perfect spot to appreciate the beauty of N.S. Several red deer sightings on the beach, Osprey, humming birds, a seal; all from the beautiful spot we have called home for two weeks. Many thanks for sharing with us.
- The R.'s, U.K.
Our third summer with two weeks at this wonderful spot. We are enormously grateful. A delight in so many ways.

Summer 2013
Dear Ballmer Family,
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. As we sit here in the colourful beachside chairs, I am starting to feel the sadness of saying goodbye. Tonight will be our last sunset over the ocean, the last lobster feast and the last night we go to bed listening to the waves crash against the shore.
Thanks again and we hope to come back soon.
- The P. Family, Ontario
Summer 2013
Another great family vacation at the Beach Lodge! This time with our 3 children. Our oldest son remembered some things and it was great watching our youngest son discover the cottage for the first time.
We absolutely love the cottage - it is a great place to spend quiet days at and to explore N.S. from.
- R.,A.,N.,C. and M.C., Calgary
Summer 2013
Dear Ballmer Family,
We would like to thank you for the use of your beautiful home. This was our first trip to N.S. and we could not have chosen a better place to stay. Your home made us feel very comfortable and hopefully we will have the opportunity to return.
Thank you very much.
- T., C. and S.W. and K.R., Saskatchewan
Summer 2012
The Beach Lodge has been a home away from home for us. With two small children it was nice to have a home base after day trips to Lunenburg and Halifax.
The house is so nicely decorated and comfortable. The view of the ocean is amazing and we enjoyed the beach numerous times.
We wouldn't hesitate to return and stay here again.
Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!
- N.K., Kingston, Ontario
Summer 2012
What a wonderful house and setting to relax and explore the South Coast!

- K.B. & F.C., Kingston, ON
Summer 2011
We have had a lovely time here at the Beach Lodge. Our two sons loved the beach and the calm sea. The home is very comfortable and we have felt very much at home.
We would have liked warmer and less foggy weather but it has been a very quiet and relaxing end to our month long trip to Canada and Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia was a great place to end on. Thank you for the lovely place to stay.
- L., K., I. and M. M., Bristol, England
Summer 2011
What an amazing two weeks we have spent at your beautiful cottage. It's been so nice to have a place that feels like home to spend quiet days at, as well as explore all N.S. has to offer. We found the place very child friendly an our two young boys will certainly miss the beach in their backyard.
We hope to return and to create more wonderful memories in years to come.
- R., A., N. and C.C., Calgary, Alberta
Summer 2011
We completely enjoyed our stay in this home. It had anything we could ask for in comfort and scenery. The relaxing sounds of the water will be missed.
- T. and C.S. Moline, IL USA

What a beautiful spot. The sunsets were absolutely breathtaking. We enjoyed every part of our vacation. You have an amazing home. Thanks.
- The S. and the G., Ontario
June 27-July 3, 2010
This was our first extended visit to Nova Scotia, and we had a wonderful time! Everything about the house was terrific - it was an excellent base for day trips. We went into Halifax on several days and saw the Navy Centennial events - loved the Tattoo! Also headed south to see Mahone Bay & Lunenburg. We attended a Ceilidh in Hubbards celebrating Canada Day on our way home.
We really loved the "Beach Lodge". The sunsets were beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed the natural beauty surrounding it. The bay birds were interesting to watch. And, even the fog was amazing to watch roll in and out. We had one truly rainy day. Which made us appreciate the sunny ones all that much more. Besides that, our kids have reported that we are having a "heat wave" at home ( ), so we are thrilled to be savoring crisp, cool days here.
This has been a memorable week in so many ways. We will recall, our time here with great fondness. Thanks!
- L. and E. R, J. and E. M, Maryland
June 3-10, 2010
Had a wonderful and fantastic 1st half of our annual summer vacation. Amazing vistas from the cottage while drinking wine/coffee were out of sight. Great sea kayaking to Dover Island & much wild life Mink, seals, Pilot whale, rabbits etc. Really enjoyed Peggy's Cove. Kids had a blast climbing the huge rock out cropping of boulders.
We eventually braved the water and swimming was actually enjoyable. Cold, but as the say "once you get used to it, it's okay".
Enjoyed Fish and Chips at the "Finer Diner". Racing and cooking our own lobsters from "Ryers". Also try Pizza, Fish and Chips from Re Cardos.
Excellent location: Lighthouse Highway/Route, close to Halifax, Lunenburg, Mahone Bay, Hubbards. Great Golf Glen Arbour: 25 minutes away.
Cannot think of a more enjoyable holiday than here at the Beach Lodge. Amazing Fog rolling in daily, dazzling sunsets and crashing surf visible beyond the point as shut in island. I am sure we will return. Too bad we cannot take the lodge and transplant it back to P. (Ontario). Memories of summer 2010 will have to do for now. Many thanks for a great week of fun, sun, surf and relaxation.
- The S. Family, Ontario
July 24, 2010
We had a fabulous week relaxing at your beautiful cottage. The setting is fantastic and we had some amazing sunsets. We enjoyed the local lobsters a couple of times and ate fabulous seafood all week. We were lucky to have great weather - hot and sunny with not one day of rain. Having the beach was great for the kids and they spent a lot of time exploring and finding the seashells. It was a wonderful holiday and we hope to return to Nova Scotia soon to explore more of its beautiful coves and villages.
- The R., Ontario and the V. , Austria
August 7, 2010
We had a wonderful time in your beautifully furnished house - we especially loved the Asian touches and the antiqued pieces. Our grandsons, aged one and three, loved "blooping" rocks in the water: the beach was terrific.
Like everyone else, we enjoyed sunsets and generally beautiful views. Rock-scampering at Peggy's Cove was a big bit. The Swissair Memorial was moving. We remember when it took off from JFK 12 years ago.
You have a gorgeous home on a gorgeous site. What wonderful aesthetic elements. Our son played the bass downstairs overlooking the water.
- A. and A. R. , NYC ; T. and J. S., Massachusetts and Y.B., Israel
August 7-14, 2010
Our time here has come to a close far to quickly. We have spent the entire day enjoying this gorgeous cottage and beach. This was our first visit to Nova Scotia and have been extremely happy to have stayed in this little gem!
Peggy's Cove is such an amazing spot and we visited almost daily. The sunsets Wow!
To the next family We hope you have as much fun here as we did.
- Cheers! The C. Family
August 12-20, 2010
We have had a wonderful time here in this beautiful house. It has been a fantastic introduction to Nova Scotia for us and we hope to return soon!
Our boys have loved the beach and clambering over the rocks. The sunsets and sense of peace here have been good for the soul!
Thank you for sharing your house with us. What a perfect base for exploring the region.
We recommend the "Finer Diner" for a relaxed meal. Great fish.
- The R. Family, U.K
August 26, 2010
OMG. If you can't relax and enjoy the beauty and wonderful peace here seek medical help!! We have had an unbelievable time and so much fun. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy. (it's a dry heat!!)
- S.M. and A.J., California
August 21-28, 2010
Words cannot convey how beautiful this place is! What a stunning house and what a breathtaking location. From the moment we walked through the door, all the pressures of everyday life melted away.
We've had the best time staying here with friends and exploring the area with them. The weather has been fantastic, sunshine every day, apart from one morning when it rained, and even that did not diminish the experience!
There are some great places to eat, notably at Shining Waters, the marina up the road, and the Trellis Café in Hubbards.
The only negatives were that the week went by too quickly, and that we don't own this wonderful house!
Thanks for a great stay!

The management consulting firm BCG has a very informative annual Innovation survey. The results of the sixth survey were published recently. The study provides very informative results and may help with benchmarking your organization.
The fraction of executives being satisfied with the return on their R&D investment went up from 43% in 2008 to 52% in 2009. I wonder what has caused the change. May be because the budgets have been cut enough to drive the return or the executives are working harder to drive focus.
Another interesting result is that everyone believes that innovation should be measured rigorously and less than 50% of the organizations actually do so. I have found that measuring innovation requires defining what is innovation. Many of the companies I have worked with have no clear definition of what is innovation and how it is different from R&D in general.
What is your experience?

About half of new TEFL teachers complete their first year contract and then head home, illuminated by a year of enjoyable new experiences.
Others make an entire lifetime of teaching English abroad, often becoming a Director of Studies for a language centre after gaining a few years of experience in the profession. Studying towards the DELTA qualification or an MA TESOL is a good way of demonstrating to potential employers that you are in it for the long run. It also opens doors to a career in TEFL teacher training, whether at home or overseas.
There are also related management and publishing opportunities within the education sector that some TEFL teachers move into. These include being in charge of hiring new teachers for a large chain of language centres and working in curriculum or textbook development. Based on your experience, you may even be offered the chance to manage the expansion of a language centre brand in an entirely new country.
Some TEFL teachers go on to open their own language centres. This is especially common in Europe, where large number of teachers from the United Kingdom make contacts over the course of a couple of years before launching their own, more profitable, business. This usually begins when a teacher has success as a freelance tutor and, as the success grows, decides on opening a centre or two. This can be done with or without other partners, but certainly involves employing several full-time members of staff to take care of the day-to-day running of the language schools.
Teachers who stay in one country for several years often become married to local partners and this can make arranging necessary paperwork for starting a new school much, much easier. Different countries have very different rules in regard to both opening a new business and longer-term residency rules. It is, of course, essential to conduct thorough research at the time to ensure that nothing important is overlooked or forgotten.
Another possibility for many TEFL teachers is that of returning to their country of origin and working within the English language training sector back at home. There are numerous opportunities to teach English to foreign professionals who have arrived to work in a given industry and wish to improve the level of their English language skills. The kinds of courses normally fall into the category of English for Occupational Purposes (EOP). There are also vacancies to teach asylum seekers who need to know elementary English to accomplish their daily tasks.
Some TEFL teachers return home and decide to become fully-qualified teachers in their own country. This usually requires a year of further study followed by an NQT (Newly Qualified Teacher) year. Should the travel bug bite again there are countless opportunities to work in International Schools around the world. Contracts with bona-fide International Schools usually come with an impressive salary, accommodation, pension and other benefits previously out of reach.
It is also reasonably common for teachers to return to the profession after a year or two working in totally different employment sectors. The great thing about TEFL is that it is remarkably flexible. There are always thousands of new opportunities across the world and you can hop back into teaching English as a foreign language remarkably easily.

These standards have been adopted state-wide and ensure that students in all districts receive similar instruction in the following seven areas: social studies, science, 21st Century life and careers, visual and performing arts, health and physical education, technology and world languages. The Common Core Standards also provide guidance for curriculum development.
In order to help students understand the complexities and inter-connectedness of life on Earth, the district has adopted a comprehensive life sciences curriculum. Students in elementary school study the essential functions the human body must undertake in order to survive, including respiration, digestion and circulatory functioning. The middle school curriculum focuses learning on how various systems in the human body, such as the central and peripheral nervous systems, are interrelated. High school students learn about the structure and function of cells and how they undertake the processes of growth.
Testimonials and Case Studies from Our Parents
SchoolTutoring Academy has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was very self-conscious about her difficulties with the math section of the SAT. SchoolTutoring Academy's Academic Directors created an action plan that boosted my daughter's score and confidence level.
SchoolTutoring Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades. Test Prep Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades.
SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son's math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.
Work with our Secaucus tutors to help your student succeed! Contact our Academic Directors Today at 1-877-545-7737.

Chalk Talk: How to Write a Better Essay
A well-written essay requires a lot of time and effort. But there are a few easy steps you can take to make the process easier on yourself and to ensure you get a better grade. First, try not to use the word "very." It's a dull and overused word that doesn't really say much. Rather than saying, "Vietnam was a very long war," just say, "Vietnam was a long war." It's cleaner and easier to read. Second, when writing your conclusion, never use the phrase "I hope you liked my essay." Saying something like that gives the impression that you aren't sure if you've made your point or been persuasive enough. The conclusion should instead end on a final, strong point that supports your argument. Finally, never use acronyms like LOL, OMG and IDK. Not only are they completely inappropriate in a formal essay, to many readers they are vague and meaningless. Keep your writing professional and save the LOLs for texting your friends!

Today's guest blog post is by Mr. Chris Hill, our Director of Administrative Affairs, College Advisor, and International Student Advisor.
ESOL at Oak Hill: A Focus on Support, Academic Progress and Individual Growth for International Students
The ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) department at Oak Hill Academy offers students whose first language is not English a dedicated time to hone their English skills. With this daily support, students are able to establish a valuable foundation that will be needed on their academic and personal journeys. English proficiency also is key in preparing for a college or university education in the United States.
Our approach to ESOL is direct. While incorporating a standard ESOL curriculum, we strive to support students with their entire academic schedules. Reading and writing are core components of our ESOL program. Focusing on organization, communication, and effective study skills, we help each student set goals for the year, and work hand in hand with teachers to make sure students make progress in attaining those goals. Along the way, English grammar and vocabulary is emphasized.
Oak Hill Academy is a boarding school, and this provides students with a full immersion environment. As students branch out into the wider Oak Hill community, they begin to experience personal growth as well as academic growth. ESOL students can expect not only to become successful communicators, but also to evolve and challenge themselves to do new, exciting things. The best gauge of success for any ESOL student is academic achievement and a new self-awareness that comes with personal growth, leading to confidence and competency.
Perhaps the best part about our ESOL program is that it's seen by most of the students as just another class. They don't feel as if they are separate from the student body in a special classroom. It's part of their day and not an all-consuming factor of their life at Oak Hill. If they do need extra support, the department is always willing and able to work with each student individually outside of the regular school day. Many come to view their ESOL teacher in the same light they would an academic counselor or tutor.

Score: Angels 15, Cubs 3.
Spring record: 0-2.
At the plate: Facing a polished pitcher like Jered Weaver was a good test for Javier Baez as he works on his timing.
On the mound: Left-handed reliever Jonathan Sanchez's control problems surfaced with two walks and a wild pitch.
In the field: Third baseman Kris Bryant looked smooth in handling Brandon Boesch's grounder in the eighth.

SEC prop bets for Week 5: How many players get tossed from Alabama/Arkansas?
The conference slate may be a little thin with Hurricane Matthew postponing LSU/Florida, but that doesn't mean you should let a little rain and wind ruin you Saturday (and Sunday) afternoon.
For the games kicking off as scheduled this weekend, enjoy these prop bets.
(All times ET)
Auburn at Mississippi State (Noon, ESPN)
Higher completion percentage — Auburn QB Sean White or Mississippi State QB Nick Fitzgerald
White -200
Fitzgerald +250
Fitzgerald is the focal point of the Bulldogs offense as he also leads the team in carries and rushing yards by a sizable margin, but he's completing just 60 percent of his passes this season. As for White, he's improved dramatically since an opening-week stinker against Clemson and has a completion percentage of 68.4. Fitzgerald could have a greater impact on the game with both his arm and legs, and just maybe, he'll put together his most efficient game yet.
No. 9 Tennessee at No. 8 Texas A&M (3:30 p.m., CBS)
When will Tennessee take its first lead?
First quarter -115
Second quarter +200
Third quarter +150
Fourth quarter -200
Not at all -135
The Volunteers have a knack for making Saturday way too stressful for their fans, so if they put up the first points of the game, look for them to put up the last and bring Jones to his knees once again. However, the luck has to run out at some point, right?
Vanderbilt at Kentucky (4 p.m., SEC Network)
More rushing yards — Vanderbilt RB Ralph Webb or Kentucky
Webb +200
Kentucky -150
Before you jump at what appears to be easy money with Kentucky, remember Webb is just about all Vanderbilt has on offense. This could play against him as the Wildcats may make Kyle Shurmur beat them with his arm (which he likely can't), or head coach Derek Mason won't care and give Webb the ball 30 times against a defense ranked 67th in yards allowed per rush attempt.
No. 1 Alabama at No. 16 Arkansas (7 p.m. ESPN)
Number of ejections
Over/Under 0.5
These two teams don't like one another, and this is Arkansas' big chance to prove it's a real contender in the SEC West. The home crowd and national stage will have the Razorbacks fired up, and the chances are one player will take things too far. Bet on one of Bret Bielema's boys to get the hook, because we all know Nick Saban's only get in trouble off the field (zing).
Georgia at South Carolina (2:30 p.m. Sunday, SEC Network)
Which South Carolina QB gets more snaps, Perry Orth or Brandon McIlwain?
Orth +150
McIlwain -110
Will Muschamp hasn't announced a starter for Sunday but did say both guys will play. McIlwain had a brutal game agent Texas A&M last week (9 of 15, 34 yards and an interception) before Orth came in and went 11 of 18 for 138 yards. The Gamecocks have lost three of their last four, but a win over the Bulldogs would do wonders for Muschamp the rest of the season. If McIlwain, a freshman, struggles again, don't expect Muschamp to wait until the fourth quarter to make a wholesale change at QB.

Washington State University history graduate students studying the oral histories of the Hanford Site have created an exhibit of its labor force and residents, running through May 16 in the Terrell Library atrium exhibit case.
"Hanford's Voices: Exploring Labor at Hanford Through the Stories of its Residents" pulled together students from the Vancouver, Tri-Cities and Pullman campuses enrolled in History 528, "Seminar in Public History," according to course participant and history master's student Robert Franklin.

For today's information seekers, who can find answers in minutes with a few keystrokes, it's hard to imagine a time when rural dwellers were cut off from knowledge for the most fundamental reasons. No electricity. No car. No phone. No nearby expert to explain why a cow gave birth to her calf prematurely.

Studies show that professors overestimate students' abilities to locate, assess and legally use information resources, and students often misjudge their own searching and evaluating skills.
Two college librarians will discuss ways they teach information literacy skills in English composition, science and nursing programs during a free talk 10-11:30 a.m. Friday, May 9, in Terrell Library 103.

Get a free book at the Washington State University Libraries on Wednesday, April 23, and be part of an international event to promote reading.
The giveaway is part of World Book Night 2014. During the daylong event, 25,000 volunteers from across the United States each will give away 20 copies of a specially printed book they have read and loved, chosen from a list of 35 titles selected by a panel of librarians and booksellers.
An anticipated half million free paperbacks will be handed out, some to people who may never have owned a book.

One of Lorena O'English's favorite poems from her "misspent youth" is a cautionary tale about two maiden sisters, one of whom falls under the spell of goblin merchants selling fruit too good to be true. Only the strength of her sister's love saves her.
Creepiness factor aside, "Goblin Market," composed by English poet Christina Rossetti and published in 1862, is partly why O'English, social services librarian at Washington State University Libraries, has helped to organize events that celebrate National Poetry Month every April for eight years.

Back by popular demand, Washington State University students will have round-the-clock access to Holland and Terrell libraries during the last two weeks of the semester.
The libraries will open at noon Sunday, April 27, and remain open 24/7 through 10 p.m. Friday, May 9.
"We heard from quite a few students who were grateful for the extended hours last time," said Susan Shipman, Access Services manager at WSU Libraries.

Lotus Development Corp. founder Mitch Kapor spoke for the majority of uninitiated Web users when he said, "Getting information off the Internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant."
Washington State University Libraries and the Office of Undergraduate Education are bringing back a class this fall that will teach university students to moderate that flow of information – and to be more effective researchers in the process.

A faculty author's road to publication may only be fully appreciated by the librarians who, whether offering information or an ear, walk the same road to bring that book to light.

It is a perfect day for adventure, so we adventured! Here are some things we saw when we explored the forests around Pleasant Hill Outdoor Camp.
1. Really cool people! (These guys, Doc and Shadow, went on the hike with us)
2. A slimy salamander. At first, it made us jump because we thought it was a snake! But we got ourselves together and took a closer look.
3. A friendly turtle. We almost stepped on him, but Shadow saw him at the last second, and he was safe.
4. Super tall trees with sun shining through. They were particularly pretty in the morning while the forest was still misty.
5. Rock formations to climb on at Little and Big Lion Falls.
What's the best part? Well, we're planning for summer, so you could have some of these cool experiences too!
See you in June!

Municipalities in developing countries are increasingly producing solid and liquid wastes. The management of those waste are relevant because of their impact to the environment and health. For instance, disposing waste in surrounding areas become vectors for the development of diseases, and they contribute to produce lixiviates which are already infiltrating into the water table. In addition, solid waste accounts for 5% of the total GHG emission. This becomes an environmental issue that has to be resolved.
Recovering energy from waste can power Africa
Production of electricity from waste has the potential of providing up to 83.8 TeraWatt hours, which is about 20% of the electricity needed in Africa by 2025. This is according to a study co-authored by the European Commission Joint Research Centre. However, this requires stringent waste management policies to be put in place, and today Africa lacks the adequate infrastructure needed to install these environmentally friendly methods.
Ambient water on Mars?
Keith White is the founder and CEO of Ambient Water, an atmospheric water generation technology company providing solutions that produce water from the humidity in the air. Its flagship systems include the Ambient Water 400, which is capable of producing up to 1,500 liters of clean water per day. Angela McClowry from Cleanleap, recently interviewed Keith to discuss atmospheric water generation and its role in a cleanleap.
'Liters of light' shining in Cameroon slums
A common characteristic of informal settlements in Cameroon is the lack of indoor lighting during the day. To carry out any productive activities, households have to turn on the lights – for those who can afford electricity - or use kerosene lamps or candles adding to their electricity consumption and accompanying energy-related expenses as well as indoor air pollution. This gadget is an innovative passive lighting technology based on a transparent plastic bottle filled with clean water. It is fitted into the corrugated iron roofs of houses without ceilings.
Sustainable Steps in Sierra Leone
Orphfund is a small hardworking NGO where 100% of funds given go directly to their projects within Africa and Asia. Their focus is on helping children who are in the most need, orphans with no-one to care for them. They do this by building and developing Children's Villages which offer housing, schooling, water, sanitation, and training facilities. Working in areas like Sierra Leone Orphfund employ a number of cleanleap technologies to provide basic services like water and sanitation, through to solar power used to teach the children computers and sewing, through to farming to generate food and income.
Fireless cooking with the sac-marmite
Sac-marmite is an insulated bag into which the food in a pot heated on a stove, continues to cook, while the stove is no longer in use. It is made from poly-cotton fabric and polystyrene balls, rice peels or cotton as an insulator. People can cook anything from meaty stews or vegetable curries to simple rice and soups. Cooking with sac-marmite is easy and simple.
Do large dams still fit in the sub-Sahara energy and water agenda?
Huge dams have been touted as effective in providing drinking and irrigation water, all cheaply and sustainably. Recent studies reveal otherwise as most of these projects in sub-Sahara turn out to be more costly than planned. A recent study has quantified claims that large dams also lead to more malaria being spread in the sub-Saharan, thus adding more weight to concerns on whether these projects should be pursued actively in favor of the alternatives.
Solar Hot Water for Emerging Economies
Solar power is about more than lighting your home… Regular access to hot water for bathing, cooking, and cleaning is something that most of us in the Western world take for granted. However, people in rural communities throughout the world struggle to safely and economically heat their water on a regular basis. Solar hot water systems offer a sustainable and low cost solution to this widespread issue, with the potential to bring hot water to those who do not currently have it.
Turning Poop Into Power
Long Sokhon is a small-scale farmer in Cambodia's Pursat Province. Like 85% of Cambodians, she makes a modest living off the land. She used to cook for her family of eight over a wood-chip fire by night. Sokhon lived the way most do in rural Cambodia—one of the poorest countries in South East Asia with a population of 15.8 million. Then, she was given the opportunity to have a 2,000 litre slate-grey tank installed in the vegetable patch. Long Sokhon was chosen as part of a biodigester pilot project run by Engineers Without Borders Australia and Live & Learn Environmental Education.
Sanitation in Challenging Environments - Engineers Without Borders Project
Nick Boerema is the Facilitator for Engineers Without Border's Sanitation in Challenging Environments project and is based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Nick's role includes providing technical advice on sanitation solutions and facilitating collaborative efforts to promote knowledge dissemination, innovation and adoption of best practice for sanitation in challenging environments. Nick previously worked in Australia as a project engineer for Vast Solar, managing the development and demonstration of low-cost concentrating solar thermal technology for power generation. Cleanleap's Angela McClowry recently interviewed Nick to better understand some of the challenges in sanitation and ways in which we can 'cleanleap' over existing issues.

Kybella® (Nonsurgical Chin Liposuction)
Kybella is a revolutionary way to decrease moderate to severe amounts of fat under the chin without surgery. Commonly known as a "double chin," excess submental fat can be reduced with Kybella injections by renowned New Jersey plastic surgeon, Dr. Evan Sorokin without the time, expense, and pain of neck liposuction.
Patients will need multiple Kybella treatment sessions to achieve their desired results, but the change is lasting. Get started today, request a consultation.
Call Us Today at 856-797-0202 or Request a Consultation Online
Surgical Neck Liposuction
Kybella is an alternative to surgical neck liposuction for patients who only need fat removed from the area under their chin. If the patient wants fat removed from the rest of the neck, surgical neck liposuction is the best option. Dr. Sorokin will help every patient determine their best treatment plan after listening to their concerns and goals in the initial consultation.
Procedure Technique
In clinical trials, 79% of patients were satisfied with the results of their Kybella treatment in improving the appearance of their face and chin. Additionally, patients in the trial reported that they felt younger, happier, and more confident after their Kybella treatment session.
Before/After The Procedure
After cleaning the area, Dr. Sorokin will inject Kybella into multiple sites under the patient's chin. Most patients will begin to see visible results in 2 – 4 treatment sessions. Patients can have up to 6 treatment sessions with less than a month in between each session. After the treatment, patients may have temporary swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, or redness.
Kybella FAQs
Other Areas?
While it is being researched, Kybella is not currently approved to eliminate fat in any other areas of the body and Dr. Sorokin will only inject Kybella into the area below the patient's chin. The uses of Kybella will hopefully be expanded, but for now, patient can enjoy getting rid of their double chin with Kybella.
Before receiving Kybella injections, Dr. Sorokin will ask about the patient's current medications and medical conditions during their initial consultation. Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding may not get Kybella injections. Kybella is also not available for anyone under the age of 18.
How It Works?
Deoxycholic acid, the active ingredient in Kybella, is a naturally-occurring molecule that can be by the body to breakdown and destroy fat. Once destroyed, these fat cells cannot return.

Kitsap Humane Society transforms the lives of thousands of homeless animals yearly – such as the 6,391 animals we rehomed in 2016. Our emphasis on individualized care, enrichment and treatment (including specialized medical or behavioral rehabilitation or foster care placement) gives each animal the best chance to thrive, and helps KHS achieve a 'save rate' of 96%. We perform over 5,000 spay/neuter surgeries annually, including nearly 2,000 fee-reduced procedures for low-income pet owners. KHS appreciates the more than 1,000 Bainbridge Islanders who help make this possible by adopting pets, utilizing our Animal Control services, serving on our Board, volunteering, or donating.
