If I was being court marshaled in the justice halls of Blogdom, I could, quite understandably be charged with dereliction of duty.
I plead guilty by reason of end of season exhaustion with a side of healing ankle.
The ankle is doing really great. Though I do nothing without caution right now when I'm out and about on it.
I've been indoors more than I should be since it has been glorious fall weather.
But I have a few things to show for it.
A clean house for one.
And a little art for another…
I've been making these little paintings to send to my grandson. I show them to him on Skype and then mail them off. I'm hoping that one of these days he is going to put two and two together and realize they are coming from me.
I'll let you know when the light bulb goes on.
I can't wait.

In my experience with tabletop gaming I've learned that there's a game out there for everyone. There's a game for the hardcore gamer, a game for the casual gamer, a game for the family gamer, and even a game that puts together the best from all those other games. There are plenty of different games on the market to choose from, which means that no matter who you're trying to get into gaming there will be something to use as a gateway game. Recently we received a copy of The Little Prince: Make Me a Planet from Ludonaute, a French game developer, and I'm fairly certain that, not only is it a really great game, it's one that will be a perfect gateway game to get your family gaming together.
What's It All About?
The Little Prince: Make Me a Planet game is modeled after a book called The Little Prince. In the game players take turns picking and choosing different tiles to place down in order to build their very own planet. Their planet will serve as a home for the wonderful animals of The Little Prince's world – the fox, the sheep, the elephant, and the snake – but players will need to avoid dangerous hazards like volcanoes a baobab trees!
Out of the Box and Setup
In the box you'll get 80 different tiles (split into four groups: characters, uphill, downhill, and center), 5 score markers, and one rulebook. The tiles are made out of study cardboard and have their own designated slot in the box, so you don't have to worry about storage solutions. The artwork on the tiles is minimalistic, yet it's a wonder to look at. It's simple enough to get what each tile has on it, but at the same time each tile is elegant in its own right.
When setting up the game each player takes a different score marker and places it on the score track at zero (Which is conveniently on the bottom of the box!). Each of the tiles are separated into their different category and placed in stacks that are set off to the side facedown. (You should have four stacks.) Depending on the number of players, you'll remove a certain number of tiles from each stack. Then, a player is chosen at random to go first. The final part of setup sees the first player choosing a stack of tiles, taking as many tiles as there are players, placing one facedown, and setting the others face up next to it. Now you're ready to play.
In The Little Prince: Make Me a Planet the goal is to create a planet that will score the most points at the end of the game. Each player's planet must be made up of 16 tiles total: 4 characters, 4 corners, 4 sides, and 4 center tiles. Once players have fully assembled their planets (it will happen simultaneously), you will score your planet according to the characters that you've got.
Here's a breakdown of the characters and how they score:
- The Geographer – scores 1 point for each tile on your planet with no volcanoes
- The Vain Man – scores 1 point for each snake on your planet
- The Astronomer – scores 2 points per sunset on your planet
- The King – scores 14 points if there is only 1 rose on the planet, 7 points if there are 2 roses on the planet, and no points if there are three or more roses on the planet
- The Lamplighter – scores 1 point per lamppost on your planet
- The Hunter – scores 3 points for each species of animal on your planet
- The Drunkard – scores 3 points for each tile that has been flipped because of baobab trees on your planet
- The Businessman – scores either 2, 3, or 5 points for each individual sheep of the color shown on his tile on your planet
- The Gardener – scores 7 points for each baobab tree on your planet (if you get three or more baobab trees on your planet, each baobab tree tile flips over and becomes worth no points)
- The Turkish Astronomer – scores 1 point per large star on your planet (even the ones on character tiles)
- The Little Prince – scores 3 points for each type of sheep and 1 point for each box on your planet
The game will take place through players taking turns. During each turn the start player chooses one of the four stacks of tiles and takes as many tiles as there are players. He/she will choose one tile and appoints another player to choose another tile. This new player takes a tile and starts building his/her own planet in front of him/her. Then this player will appoint another player, and so on, until each player has gone. The last player to go has to take the final tile that remains, and they will become the start player for the next round.
Play continues like this until each player has a complete planet in front of them. Once this happens, player score according to the characters they have on their planet, moving their score marker to the appropriate number on the score track. The player with the most points by the end of the game is the winner.
The Verdict
Though I consider myself a bit of a hardcore gamer who fancies things like miniature wargames and big name board games, I absolutely love The Little Prince: Make Me a Planet. From the moment we started playing it my group had tons of fun. There's just enough strategy to the game to make you feel like you've got to play smart, while at the same time the gameplay is simple enough that you could teach your kids how to play with little effort. If you want to take a look at the game's rulebook, you can check it out in English here. I think that this game is a definite must-have for your game room as it's something everyone can enjoy. Make sure to keep an eye out for when this game hits shelves in the U.S.

Check American Airlines' reward partners, transfer options
Transfers let you build points, partnerships let you use them
Ask a question.
Dear Cashing In,
I'm looking to keep accumulating American Airlines miles. I've got both the Citi and the Barclays AA cards. I know you can transfer Starwood points 1:1 into AA miles. The Starwood card from American Express is currently offering a 25,000-point sign-up bonus. I don't recall that there are many other options out there on cards that will allow 1:1 transfers to AA. Anything else I should look into before getting the Starwood card? -- Shawn
Dear Shawn,
You are right that Starwood points are valuable, since they can transfer directly to more than 30 airlines, including the three biggest U.S. airlines, American, United and Delta.
The problem, though, is that there's just one card that allows you to earn Starwood points, the Starwood Preferred Guest card from American Express (annual fee: $95, waived first year). Otherwise, you'd have to stay at a Starwood hotel, such as a Sheraton or Westin, to earn Starwood points.
You're correct that the current sign-up bonus on the Starwood card is 25,000 points, which you receive after making $3,000 in purchases in the first three months.
That might be a sensible card to apply for, if you are looking to accumulate American Airlines AAdvantage miles. But a lot of people probably don't realize that they also have other options, using reward programs of airlines that don't fly anywhere near their home airport.
Miles you collect in other airlines' reward programs aren't American miles. But they can allow you to take flights on American -- sometimes using fewer miles than the same award using American miles.
For instance, look at British Airways. It doesn't fly directly to many U.S. airports. But if you accumulate its frequent flier miles, called Avios, you can fly on American flights because of a partnership between the two airlines. Chase's British Airways Visa Signature card (annual fee: $95) offers 50,000 Avios when you spend $2,000 in three months, and 50,000 more if you spend a total of $20,000 in the first year.
The number of Avios you need for an American flight depends on the distance of the flight. Because of the way the Avios reward program works, Avios can make a lot of sense if you live near an American hub or fly nonstop frequently on American.
For example, a round-trip, nonstop coach flight in the winter (peak season) from Charlotte, North Carolina (an AA hub) to Montego Bay, Jamaica, is 20,000 Avios. The exact same flight booked with American miles starts at 35,000 miles (or 30,000, after March 22, 2016, because of changes to American's award chart).
Avios might not be best for big international trips or for trips with multiple segments, but the British Airways program is one to investigate if you like flying on American.
Another option: Alaska Airlines. Its website allows you to redeem Alaska miles on airlines including American and Delta. Bank of America offers an Alaska Airlines Visa Signature card (annual fee: $75), which gives you 25,000 Alaska miles when you are approved for the card.
One other thought: If you like American miles and already have American Airlines cards, it probably makes sense to call every now and then and see if any retention offers are available. Sometimes, banks will give you miles for meeting certain spending thresholds if they think you might cancel your card.
Depending on your situation, these other cards might not be superior to the Starwood card, which has the virtue of giving you actual American miles. But if you like flying on American, you should know about these other options, consider them, then make the right choice.

On Tuesday the 6th of February I was privileged to attend the 5th Annual Fatherhood Conference for the State of Michigan put on by the Michigan Fatherhood Coalition in conjunction with the Michigan Head Start Association and let me tell you that there were some things that took place there that the rest of the America could learn from!
First of all, the conference took place on a date that saw most of the Detroit area schools closed because of the extremely cold (-20) temperatures and yet the room was completely full of people who came seeking to make Fathers a more significant part of families all across Michigan! The fact that so many people braved the weather to attend the conference in itself was quite amazing because it showed the depth of the commitment of the people of Michigan. This conference was also a testament to the Head Start Communications and Meeting Coordinator, Jennifer Nottingham, and her extremely well planned and promoted conference!
Next, the conference brought together people from all over the state of Michigan as was evidenced when they began to give out some awards and do some drawings for door prizes… the most heated interchange came when they were attempting to give away some money for lunch to the participant who traveled the longest distance to attend to attend the conference. It became obvious that MANY of the attendants came from long distances to get to the conference! This wonderful and extremely educational conference truly was a meeting that reached out to people from all parts of the state and not just the Detroit Area, where the conference was held.
The next thing that hit me was the ratio of men to women at the conference. It would be my rough estimate that there were three times as many men at the conference as there were women! "Now, what is odd about this?" you might ask. Since the conference was called a "Fathering Conference", why is it odd to have men there? Well, I have some experience with conferences of this nature and it has been my experience that often the conferences held on Fatherhood are often populated by female workers who are trying to get men involved.
OBVIOUSLY, the State of Michigan has already reached the fathers! Yes, there many female Head Start Counselors and Social Workers in attendance, as well they should be, but it was so gratifying to see that those Head Start Workers, regardless of gender, had already reached so many fathers and had included them in the conference.
A few years ago I attended the New York State Child Abuse Conference and there was not one person out of the eight hundred in attendance, who had any history of child abuse! The conference was attended only by the people attempting to solve the problem and that struck me as odd. Should the conference not attract at least some of the people that they were attempting to reach?
Suffice it to say that I was impressed that the Fatherhood Conference had attracted many fathers and it was my impression that those men in attendance were learning the tools that they needed to become leaders and activists on their own behalf!
Next, and along the same line of reasoning, the Co-Sponsor of the Conference was a group called Michigan Fatherhood Coalition. Now, let me tell you, that group was unique in my experience. I don't know any way to say this other that to just share my personal experience as I travel and meet people from all parts of America. Unfortunately, it has been my personal experience that most of the fathering groups that I have come in contact with have had some kind of a chip on their shoulder.
Many of the fathering groups that I have come in contact with, have had as their goal a change in the child custody laws of America. This change may need to to take place and many of the agencies have some very good, and sound reasons for seeking those changes, but the Michigan Fatherhood Coalition seemed so different to me. As I met the men at this conference it seemed that they were there simply to learn how to become better fathers!
It became even more obvious to me what the Michigan Fatherhood Coalition was all about when I met with a group of their Board of Directors and members following the conference. While they too might see the need for some changes in father's rights in custody cases, that was certainly not their main focus! These men have formed their Coalition for the purpose of reestablishing the role of the strong father in the American home! Man, was that exciting for me to see! Strong men standing up and saying that they want to be leaders in teaching all fathers how to be strong leaders for their children! WOW!
I was invited to attend the conference as a keynote speaker... and I left feeling like I had learned a great deal from a bunch of strong men! I had come in contact with a bunch of strong fathers building positive change for the children of Michigan.
I left with an overwhelming observation… "Wouldn't it be wonderful if every state in the country had a Fatherhood Coalition of strong dads, just like Michigan, who were working to bring strong fathers back into every home in America?"

Front Rack Positioning
– beneficial to improve cleans, thrusters, front squats, start position on presses, and abilities in handstands. Strive for 10 minutes each day for this mobility work.
1. Shoulder Flexion
-The band is strapped in very low. Keep your elbow as close to your head as possible. Make sure the palm of your hand is turned to face behind you as much as possible. Try not to arch your back too much. Hold 1 minute each side.
2. Wrist Extension
-Wrap the band around your wrist and pull away from the rig so that the band pulls your wrist toward the rig a little bit. Use you opposite hand to secure your hand to the floor. Keeping your elbow straight, rock over your hand to increase the amount of extension. You can also go in angles to work the "corners" of the range of motion. Work this 1 minute on each side. Hunt around to find tight spots, do not just sit and hold the entire minute.
3. Thoracic Extension
-He has two lacrosse balls underneath his mid back. One on either side of the spine. Give yourself a hug and drop your shoulders to the ground (think mini sit-ups). Do 5 "mini sit-ups" at each thoracic vertebrae. You can also take your hands overhead or into a front rack positioning to work this again. For this one, think of it as 3 rounds. 5 mini-sit-ups at each thoracic vertebrae. Round 1 – give yourself a hug. Round 2 – arms overhead. Round 3 – arms in front rack positions as best as you can.
4. Foam Roll Inner Thighs
5. Pigeon Pose
– hold each side for 5 minutes. Roam around and find the tight corners of the movement.
6. Holding Air Squat
-Place your feet as close to the wall as possible. 3 rounds. Hold the position in the picture for 2 minutes. Rest 30 seconds.
-Goals… to keep your chest as upright as possible. Notice she still has a slight arch (almost like a reverse hollow rock position. THAT'S GOOD!) Knees over your toes. The weight on your foot is distributed evenly from right to left and overall weight is in your heels (AKA, don't let your foot roll in). Chin straight ahead.

När Naturen frigör sina oerhörda krafter får det konsekvenser som kommer att påverka oss alla.
Ett revolterande gensvar. För Naturen svarar an på hur vi behandlar henne.
Inramad med en vit passepartout i en svart Nielsen trä-ram. Storlek: 50x40cm.
Abstract Painting dominates my artistic expression. In my paintings the Energy and Forces which are immanent in Nature are visualized. Forces at work in maximum self-sufficiency. Primary, undiluted, full of tension. Never at ease always in the moment. A pulse in rhythm and rhyme. Emerging from a Void, an emptiness and silent space which is the source of its origin.
The theme, the allegories and concepts form the basis of my creations and for the technique I will avail myself of. There are no rules. Any preconceived image are dissolved for that particular artwork to emerge. Installations are made when the theme and work calls for it.

The City that Never Sleeps
Manila. The city that never sleeps. As we drove in from the airport after midnight there was still much activity for a Friday night. Traffic looked like Buckhead rush hour, young children walked the streets alone, and plenty of establishments were still open well into the night. Upon arriving at KKFI everyone was a little too awake to find sleep immediately. The constant car honking, dog barking, and the 4:00 am rock band playing nearby didn't help.
So after what felt like a quick nap, it was morning. Our crew consists of 17 students, one professor, one pastor, and two laity from North Georgia. After breakfast David lead us on a walking tour of the city to point out the basics we'll need during our time here as well as some points of interest…laundry, ATM, Jollibee fast food, and the University of Santo Tomas, which has a huge wall wrapped around the entire campus and guards at each entrance gate. As we passed by street vendors, we saw three and four-year olds watching their newborn siblings while the parents sold drinks and snacks. Children here, especially the females, quickly become caretakers. The oldest sibling is called Ate (Ah-tay) meaning "Aunt," and has many responsibilities in the family. We walked past a hog dealer, with a truck full of live pigs in the back, on its way to make a sale. Then an ambulance with siren wailing caught our attention when the back was filled with abundant passengers leaning out the window and waving. It turns out they were leading the parade of the Festival of the Black Nazarene. Truck after truck, decked out with flowers and decorations, 30+ people and a giant statue of a black Jesus carrying a cross on his back, sped by with an air of celebration.
The LaGrange students got a taste of the culture as we adjusted to our new environment, time zone (13 hours ahead), and January heat. With a high of 88 today, it's a different world from the snow day that Atlanta is preparing for back home. Later today we'll get an introduction to KKFI, start prepping for our work projects, and experience more of the culture. It's a good start.

cure for obsession, they say, is getting a new one. And that has certainly been true of the bond market's approach to debt-ridden Eurozone countries. The market's focus has swung like a searchlight from troubled country to country, sending the euro plummeting until its finance ministers ask for a bailout. On Monday, the market's dreaded eye shone on Portugal. Most now believe that it will be forced into accepting a bailout by the end of the week, despite its government's current objections.
Currency traders will be asking what this means for the euro? The lead up to the Irish bailout certainly provided them with plenty to trade on.
The trouble for volatility-seekers, however, is that the Japanese may have – temporarily – saved the day. Yesterday they pledged to buy up European bonds in an effort to stabilise the currency. And indeed it did, the euro gained 0.1 per cent against the dollar to $1.2966, from $1.2951. The dollar rose 0.4 per cent to ¥83.05 yen, from ¥82.71 yen. This could mean that a re-enactment of the euro's path in the week prior to the Irish bailout is off the cards.
Strengthening the single currency against the yen is very much in Japan's interest. Despite the Japanese finance minister's declaration that: "To raise trust [in the EU bailout fund] is appropriate for Japan as a leading nation," they want to ensure the euro is as strong as possible so that Europeans keep buying their cars and technology. Keeping this in mind – and noting that further bond purchases have not been ruled out – could reap profitable trades later on.
But until that prospective injection, Duncan Higgins of Caxton FX doesn't think the effect will last: "Given that Japan looks set to make the bond purchases using its own euro reserves we're not expecting to see any sudden pick up in euro demand."
Neil Mellor of the Bank of New York Mellon agrees, but adds that: "The market seems to be becoming numb to the negative news."
But he warns that the EU's efficient crisis management of the Irish situation last year has led the market to expect a speedy bailout: "The euro will be hit hard if they don't." So, should the Portuguese government keep fighting the bailout calls, there could be an opportunity for bearish euro traders to get ahead of the crowd and go short at the end of the week.
If not, this picture of potential calm will disappoint traders hankering after volatility. Particularly since tomorrow's Bank of England and European Central Bank rate announcements are widely expected to be held still. Traders keen for movement need to look back to learn from how the market dealt with its last indebted obsession.

Killing time is the new way forward
"Self-expression is life. What gives more satisfaction to one's being than to have expressed oneself. One builds a house and expresses himself, another writes a poem and expresses herself, another begets a large family and expresses himself – and looking back, they can say "Vixi": I have lived." – from The Gentle Art of Tramping, Stephen Graham
I set off this morning for day 2 of my latest project, which I'm loosely naming the lost art of wandering. My daily routine is a 5am wake up, followed by a couple of hours of reading and thinking. I like early mornings because nobody wants anything from you at 5 o'clock in the morning. No phone, no wife, no demanding kids. Silence. Bliss. The world feels all my own. Once the house crew wakes up, the cacophony of noise makes it nearly impossible to think straight. That's when I abandon the house to the inmates and head to the gym.
But today, a change in routine – a morning walk to replace the gym. This, of course, is in line with the revelation from yesterday about using walking and wandering as a unifying theme for the blog.
To get myself in the proper frame of mind, I began the morning re-reading Merlin Coverley's book, The Art of Wandering. Reading is a journey in and of itself. Thoughts collide with thoughts and spark other thoughts, sending one off into different directions, chasing clues to the big puzzle that is us, who we are and what we are about and why.
In this instance, Coverley turned me onto Stephen Graham and his book, The Gentle Art of Tramping. In the first paragraph I read, Graham threw out the challenge for the reader to examine their tacit assumptions about their everyday life.
So that's the question I took with me on my walk, what are MY tacit assumptions? Kind of a heavy question for a Friday morning, but then I did promise you that this wasn't going to just be about walking. I struggled with the question for a bit and had to abandon it to the rhythm of the walk.
If walking is indeed a spiritual practice, then I had my first insight within a kilometre of the start. Whenever I begin something new, I feel compelled, first, to buy a bucket-load of books and read up the subject. I've bought three books in the space between yesterday, when I decided that walking as a metaphor was a good direction to take for the blog, and today. The second thing I feel compelled to do is create a set of rules and structure and outcomes to the new venture. I want know where it's all going before I get there, throwing away any notion that it's about the journey, not the destination. One of my habits of thinking, I discovered, is propensity to attach myself to the outcomes of the venture.
How is that a problem?
Well the moment you attach yourself to the outcome of anything, you give away your power to forces beyond your control, better to focus on the doing and let the results take care of themselves. Something I learned from T.S. Eliot, but as they say, there's a difference between knowing and doing, and despite knowing this I still get myself caught in the outcome trap. So suddenly, my ideal about walking – getting out, following the flow and the rhythm of the walk wherever it may lead – was getting overshadowed by my craving to know that the outcome would be worth the commitment.
Better to relax and enjoy the walk and whatever happens after that happens.
One of my tacit assumptions is that industrial time, the 9 to 5 shuffle, is right and proper and if i'm living and working counter to that concept, then somehow that equates to being a slacker. Case and point. Instead of being totally in the moment with this walk, I found myself glancing at my watch and hearing that silly little voice in my head crapping on about needing to be inside, behind a desk, shuffling papers to prove I'm working, when in fact my work is being out and doing exactly what I'm doing.
I have to kill my present relationship with time. You would have thought after 10 years of being self-employed, this wouldn't be an issue anymore, but it is. I guess when your friends and family are towing the party line, it's easy to feel like I'm some kind of vagrant because I'm not doing the 9 to 5 shuffle every weekday like they are. Especially during times like right now, when I'm in-between contracts and spending large tracts of my day reading and researching, my friends and family think I'm loafing. Not the case at all, but it doesn't fit the pattern, so people make assumptions. And I feel the pressure to conform. My success, however, depends on doing the opposite.
Today's Walk:

Michigan golfer Nick Carlson hit one of the best shots of his career Tuesday, and it landed him on a program he grew up watching.
Carlson, a sophomore on the Wolverine men's golf team, holed a 75-foot chip during his round in match play at the U.S. Amateur. The sensational shot boosted his round and was good for No. 9 on Sportscenter's Top 10 plays.

I used to watch top ten plays everyday before getting on the bus for school… never thought I'd be on it
— Nick Carlson (@CarlsonNickJ) August 17, 2016
The U.S. Amateur is being played in Carlson's home state this year in Bloomfield Hills, Mich. Carlson won his match against Zach Foushee on Tuesday and will tee off against Scott Gregory in the round of 32 on Thursday.

|It's possible to be allergic to water. Sort of. Maybe.
Specifically, there's a very rare condition called aquagenic urticaria (water-related hives) that causes a person's skin to react to water with rashes and blisters.
Supposedly, there was a famous case of this some years ago, where a girl named Heidi Falconer was diagnosed with the problem; she had to be treated with a Swedish foam product that created a waterproof barrier for her skin, so she could do everyday things like taking a shower.
This smells a lot like an urban legend, and there's very little reliable medical information on this condition out there on teh Internets. So I'm not really sure how real this all is. "Aquagenic urticaria" is more of a symptom description than an actual disease, and some suspect that hypersensitivity to chlorine is a more likely cause of the problem than water itself. Also, it doesn't appear to be a histamine reaction, like most allergies. So "allergic to water" might be stretching the truth a little bit.

Sending 'water allergic aliens' to a water-based planet to harvest the bodies of a water-based species.
Luckily, they must have checked the weather report to make sure it didn't rain during their invasion...that could have dampened some spirits.
Or maybe instead of investing so much time into cloaking devices for their spaceships, they could have spent a little more R & D on rain jackets...
I know I've discussed this before...but it's worth mentioning again. The people need to know! Pssshhh...alergic to water....

Audio – Senator Keith Ingram Reporting News From 91st General Assembly
September 21st, 2017 • News
September 21, 2017- Senator Keith Ingram audio report of news from the 91st General Assembly.
- Arkansas has 238 separate school districts and many of them held elections this week to determine the membership of their school boards. Traditionally, school elections in Arkansas have been held in September. However, because of a new law that will go into effect in January, this is the last year that Arkansas voters will elect board members in September.
- Beginning in 2018, school board members will be elected either in the May primaries or the November general election. This change will create some problems for county clerks. One reason is that school district boundaries rarely coincide with other political subdivisions, such as legislative districts, municipal wards and districts for county quorum courts.
- That means preparing ballots will require more time and expense for county clerks. That's one reason I voted against the bill changing the school election dates. School boards must notify county clerks in advance if they intend to hold elections in May or in November. In 2018, the deadline for notifying clerks will be February 22, which is the first day of the filing period for candidates.
- The change only affects election dates for school board members. When school boards need to schedule an election on millage rates and bond issues, they will not have to coincide with primaries or general elections.

For a Top Loader:
- Water Level HIGH
- Only add 3/4 washer Full of diapers, too many and they won't get clean
- 1/4 of the recommended amount of Detergent (If the instructions say to use to the 1 line, only go up 1/4 of the way to the 1 line. It's not the detergent that gets your diapers clean, it's the water. If you are washing often enough(every 1-3 days), and not using too much detergent(detergent acts like a magnet to bacteria and can cause leaks or rash), your diapers will never get stinky.
- Wash on WARM or COLD (warm if your detergent has enzymes), with detergent
- Wash a Second time on HOT, with No Detergent
- Dry PODS in dryer on Med, hang dry Shells(for first time, dry Shells in dryer for 20 min or more to seal holes)
For an HE Front Loader:
It's very important to make sure there is enough water in the washing machine. That's usually the problem with HE washers. They don't add as much water as top loaders and therefore don't rinse the diapers as well, and don't get them as clean as top loaders. So you have to trick the washer into adding as much water as possible.
These settings are for the "LG Front Loader". Your washer may vary but this is the best combo we have found :
- Fill wetbags up with cold water before adding to washer(this will saturate your diapers and make them heavier to the sensor making the washer add more water. The more water the better and since you cannot manually adjust for a Frontloader, this is the best solution.)
- Wash twice.
- 1st Load - ADD 1/4 or less(if you have a softener, or soft water please use even less detergent if you are having stink issues) of recommended Detergent - Pem press Cycle - extra rinse- prewash - low spin - heavy soil - COLD(if your detergent contains enzymes you HAVE TO use warm on the 1st cycle, otherwise they won't activate and clean properly)
- Add 1/4 - 1/2 cup of washing soda if you think you might have hard water, (or are already having any stink problems)
- 2nd Load - high spin - heavy soil - Permanent Press - HOT - NO Detergent
- Dry Pods, and hang dry Shells to prolong life

Editor: Aister
Olga Marie: ---
Dr. Roman: I felt the pressure even on the other side of the monitor. The director has a short fuse as usual.She goes 0-100 in no time. Why is she always mad?
Mashu: Oh, but I understand how the director feels.
Mashu: Sorry to say this, -senpai, but you are too ignorant towards all things Chaldea.I-Is that so...? It's true I arrived without knowing anything...
Mashu: You're really troublesome. Almost comparable to a good-for-nothing cat.
Mashu: ---Not that I'm any better...
Mashu: Even after two years of effort, I still know nothing. It's as if I've been lazing around instead. Almost comparable to a slow crocodile.I, I see. Crocodiles do seem clueless...
Mashu: Indeed. What I know is limited to what's written in the catalog. I will try to recite it for Senpai.
Mashu: Human Logic Continuation Security Engine, Finis Chaldea, commonly referred to as simply Chaldea.
Mashu: A laboratory-observatory wherein talented scientists and magi are gathered without bias, with the ultimate goal of preserving humanity's long history and guaranteeing it's continuation.
Mashu: Observing both sides of the world: one where nothing else matters besides magecraft, and another where everything is analyzed scientifically.
Mashu: It is a covert agency founded and funded globally to ensure mankind's continued progress.Ooh. You sure are smart. Yeah. I know that part.
Mashu: Indeed. Well, that's how it is.
Four: Four!
Mashu: Though Chaldea's funding is sourced from all over the globe, seventy percent of it comes from the Mage's Association in London---
Mashu: Those funds are from Animusphere, Director Olga Marie's house.
Mashu: Chaldea may be a research and observation organization, the internal management is more befitting of a military organization.
Mashu: Extremely strict rules have been laid down. In fact, director's tyranny is a cake walk compared to those rules.
Mashu: The director may not be downright evil, but she's still nasty, anybody that gets on her nerves will be laid off, no questions asked.
Mashu: Oh, er, hold on. I guess that qualifies her as "downright evil", doesn't it?
Mashu: ...I apologize. I was trying to cheer Senpai up, but I'm not used to telling jokes...
Four: Kyuu. Nkyu, kyu!
Olga Marie: Kyaaaaaah! W-what are you doing!?
Olga Marie: Behind, behind you! Isn't that the enemy!?
Olga Marie: Battle formation, hurry!
Mashu: ! Since when have they gotten this close..! Senpai, instructions please!

Woman Can Sue Over|'American Idol' Dust-Up
(CN) – A 68-year-old woman can sue for false arrest after he was kicked out of an "American Idol" concert, a New York appeals court ruled.
Pauline Guntlow was attending the concert at Pepsi Arena in Albany, N.Y., when she was ejected at the request of fellow concertgoer Marc Barbera. He told police that Guntlow had hit his wife, Alicia.
Guntlow said that Alicia and the Barberas' 4-year-old daughter stood up during the concert, blocking their view. Guntlow said she only tapped Alicia on the shoulder and asked her to sit.
When security arrived, Barbera screamed at them that Guntlow had "assaulted (his) wife," and after Barbera showed the security guards his state trooper badge, they arrested Guntlow for harassment and endangering the welfare of a child. The charges were eventually dropped.
Guntlow then sued the Barberas and the Albany police department for false arrest, assault and battery, and malicious prosecution.
The trial court dismissed Guntlow's lawsuit, but Justice Thomas Mercure of the Albany-based Third District New York Appellate Division disagreed, ruling that the police lacked probable cause to make the arrest.
"Under these circumstances, it cannot be said that, as a matter of law, there was probable cause to arrest plaintiff and, thus, her claims of false arrest and imprisonment should not have been dismissed," Mercure wrote.

If the thought of splashing vivid colors all over your walls makes your heart skip like an old record, we've got a way to dip your toes in the pigment pool without getting completely wet. One of the best tricks for refreshing a room is switching up the accessories. So go upscale or go budget-conscious—there's no lack of choices when it comes to exuberant pieces.
For this bathroom—in Annie's own house—the sleek, modern cabinets and hardware and the steely tones of the shower tiles and countertops are given an infusion of sock-it-to-me color. Pink takes center stage on the towels and in the bright, wide stripe of the rug—which, in turn, is echoed on the cosmetics bag displayed on the counter.
Fresh flowers aren't just for the dining or living room, so here we've leaned a couple of butterfly-bright gerbera daisies against a contrasting green glass vase. Since soaps and shower gels often come in an array of Magic Marker hues, we suggest taking this as a divine sign that you should buy as many as you can fit in your cabinets. After all, who ever wanted less of a good thing?

River Oats – Chasmanthium Latifolium
River oats will do well in very moist soils. River oats are ordinary in wet areas. You will find them in a lot of ponds and lakes. This sedge prefers moist to dry soil conditions.
River oat plants are a perennial grass that can provide ample ground cover in your garden or backyard. The plant grows well in a variety of different conditions. It can grow in moist soil, dry dirt, and in partial shade. It thrives best in acid sands or clay with plenty of sun exposure. The ornamental grass is also frequently used to prevent soil erosion near streams and river banks, hence its recognizable name. Gardeners often utilize the plant's height and clustering characteristics to generate shade. It's a low-maintenance option that reseeds itself yearly. It's also capable of spreading over time to achieve a fuller and more robust appearance. Fully grown, the grass can reach a height of up to four feet. However, this height is manipulated by one of the plant's most defining features.
At the end of each branch of grass is a cluster of seeds. The resulting spikelet is reminiscent of oats. The panicles grow as a translucent green color in early spring before maturing into vibrant ivory in mid-summer. In the following months, the seeds will dry up to a brown color before dropping off and reseeding the plant for a new life next year. The seed clusters weigh down the slender green branches to create an attractive arch that sways in light breezes. Blue-green leaves complement branches. The leaves and their accompanying branches can take on a bright yellow-gold color during the autumn season.
During their time at the plant, seeds will attract wildlife to your property. They're a favorite treat to numerous bird species, rodents, and even deer. Deer will eat the seeds right off the branch. River oats can bring life to wherever you choose to plant it. They're easy to establish and require little care. They're capable of providing you with a beautiful backdrop from Spring to Fall. The single seed stalks can also be preserved in beautiful flower arrangements.

10 tips for copyediting
Is that text really ready to go to the designer?
You've been typing away, busily writing your report, leaflet or poster copy and you're keen to send it on its way but is your text ready to go to the designer? Probably not! You'll want the best end product so here are some simple tips to help you achieve this:
1: Take a break.
Set your text aside for a while after you've finished composing, and then proofread it with fresh eyes. Rather than remember what you meant to write, you're more likely to see what you've actually written.
2: Take it one stage at a time.
Don't rush yourself or try to do too much too quickly. Read through your text several times, concentrating first on sentence structures, then word choice, then spelling, and finally punctuation.
3: Double-check facts, figures, and proper names.
Get your facts straight, even if it means re-visiting your research. It's not just about correct spelling and usage; make sure that all the information in your text is accurate. For example, don't assume someone's name is spelt the way you think it should be.
4: See your text in print.
By printing out your text, it's easier to review it line by line and reading your work in a different format may help you catch errors that you previously missed.
5: Hear your text.
Read aloud or ask a friend to read it to you. You may hear a problem (for example, a missing word) that you haven't been able to see.
6: Make the most of spellcheck.
The spellcheck facility in your wordprocessing package can help you catch common errors, but don't ever think it's foolproof.
7: Trust your dictionary.
Your spellchecker can tell you only if a word is a word, not if it's the right word. For instance, if you're not sure whether sand is in a desert or a dessert, your dictionary can tell you.
8: Read your text backward.
Another way to catch spelling errors is to read backward, from right to left, starting with the last word in your text. Doing this will help you focus on individual words rather than sentences.
9: Create your own checklist.
You'll soon see what type of mistakes you commonly make, so list them for future reference.
10: Ask for help.
Invite someone else to proofread your text after you have reviewed it. A new set of eyes may immediately spot errors that you've overlooked.

Consumers are more likely to turn to influencers who have specific expertise in their areas of interest, rather than say celebrities, today's consumers are not stupid and will not fall for gimmicks such as paid-for celebrity endorsement.
The web is a busy place, making it difficult for both consumers and brand to know who is credible and trustworthy. Brands therefore need to find a strategy to identify and engage with online influencers who can communicate to the target market effectively.
The first step in identifying these influencers is to define exactly who the customer is and then determine the influencing factors such as their consumer habits, meaning where they live and how they buy their products. Drawing up a pen portrait of the consumer is a useful discipline during this process. Once you know whom your consumer is, inside out, you can then figure out who they trust and listen to.
It's important to remember that whilst focused experts may not have as many followers as some other online influencers or celebrities, the followers that they do have will be dedicated and interested in the relevant areas of topic, allowing the brand to latch on to this useful following.
The next step is to engage the focused expert that your consumer listens to the most. It's important to build a credible relationship with this person, one that consumers believe and trust.
It is likely that your influencer will require some kind of payment for their endeavours, but it doesn't have to just be a cash sum. You you could offer to boost their brand awareness by featuring them across all of your content, or you may offer them non-cash rewards with your brand. Therefore the use of brand influencers is not just limited to those who have money to burn, smaller firms can receive help by lending a hand to assist the influencer by utilising the resources that they have.
For instance, you could provide an experience for your influencer to be the first to try a new product / service offering and in turn allow for them to create content (and buzz) about your products and services. This would create excitement not just from your existing followers but from the influencer's followers too, lending to your traffic and building a credible brand image in the eye of the consumer.
Using credible, trustworthy influencers who have expertise in your industry to spread the message delivers better Return on Investment than a huge celebrity influencer with little relevance to your chosen industry. This is really a less is more approach, and allows your brands message to cut through the congestion of the internet in an efficient manner, whilst staying relevant to the consumer.
Independence is a powerful asset to look for in an influencer, consumers perceive focused experts to be objective, to state their mind and to be impartial. We are so used to advertising campaigns pulling the wool over our eyes as consumer that we are often now sceptical of brands. Gaining the respect and backing of an independent influencer means product reviews from someone who is not afraid to point out flaws and will do the product / service justice if it up to scratch.
This influencer could be a Youtuber or blog writer, they might be a columnist in a newspaper, or a popular local figure on social media. It doesn't matter the size of the following or their status, rather just that their opinion is respected and that alone will sell itself.

Although more than 250 people applied to head Palm Beach County`s revamped computer department, officials are finding it hard to get someone to take the $70,000-a-year job.
The county spent $6,762 to bring in seven candidates for interviews in February, but the three top choices all turned down the job once it was offered.
The latest decline came on Tuesday, after the county flew in its third choice this weekend -- at the candidate`s request -- for one more look at the county. The cost of the extra trip was about $600, Personnel Director Brad Merriman said.
``Maybe I wasn`t so bad after all, guys,`` Property Appraiser Rebecca Walker said at an earlier meeting when the problem first surfaced.
Walker had managed the department until September, when officials questioned having an elected official supervising the county`s information center. Walker resigned her position and threatened to remove her office and the Tax Collector`s Office from the system.
Members of the Information Systems Services board, which includes county constitutional officers and two commissioners, asked Merriman to come back next week with the top 10 names from the remaining candidates.
In the meantime, the board recommended commissioners approve a 90-day extension of a contract with Noe Santamarina, a private consultant who has been managing the department since October.
Santamarina is being paid $75 an hour, which amounts to $156,000 on an annual basis. Santamarina has been on board six months, meaning he has already earned $78,000.

Carson Wentz has a hard time describing some of his most impressive plays. They often involve an athletic move, or moves, in which the Eagles quarterback's instincts take over. He doesn't have time to overthink, and so explaining something that he hadn't consciously considered – however split the second — becomes a difficult task.
Wentz thrived under pressure in college, which is why his failure to close the deal in several late-game scenarios last season surprised those who followed his career at North Dakota State. But he started to turn the corner in Baltimore last December, and even though he came up short against the Ravens and the Redskins the following week, it seemed only a matter of time before he would lead the Eagles to a comeback victory.
While he was credited with a game-winning, fourth-quarter drive against the Falcons last November, it wasn't until Sunday's 27-24 victory over the New York Giants that Wentz truly delivered down the stretch in the traditional sense.
It took only one pass for him to set up Jake Elliott's 61-yard, game-winning field goal, but it was a clutch throw, and it came after Wentz directed two drives over the previous seven minutes that twice knotted the score. He completed 6 of 9 passes for 68 yards over that span and checked the Eagles into several run plays that netted chunks on the ground.
Wentz managed the game, which isn't typically how the Eagles' offense is going to win games, but on a day when the run game was effective, it sufficed.
He did miss first-half opportunities, however, that would have put a Giants comeback further out of reach. And the two most egregious occurred late in the second quarter.
On first down at the New York 45, Alshon Jeffery had gotten behind cornerback Ross Cockrell. Wentz had a clean pocket and plenty of time to throw, but he overthrew his wide receiver by about 3 yards.
"Just missed it," Wentz said after the game. "We were moving the ball kind of with a quick passing game, checking to a number of different runs. They gave us a different look on the beam shot. He had it, and I just missed it. It's one I definitely want back."
It's the type of deep pass Wentz had worked exhaustively on this offseason, both in terms of his mechanics and in developing rhythm with his new receivers. But he put too much air under the ball. It's unclear whether his delivery was the issue, but when intermediate-deep passes sailed on Wentz last year, it was often because he would overstride.
And he almost always had time and space – as he did on the Jeffery overthrow — which suggests that maybe there is a mental element. Wentz appeared to also throw high and wide of Torrey Smith on a late sideline route in which Giants cornerback Eli Apple was penalized for pass interference.
Wentz attempted only three passes that traveled more the 20 yards against the Giants – the third was a jump ball to Smith that also resulted in an Apple pass interference flag – but his 16 "deep" passes this season are tied for fourth most in the NFL, per Pro Football Focus. He has completed four for 157 yards and a touchdown.
While his accuracy on deep tosses (31.3 percent) is 23rd out of 28 qualifying quarterbacks, his passer rating (88.8) is 14th. Wentz completed 32.7 percent and his 36.8 rating was 25th out of 27 quarterbacks last year.
He is by no means the only passer to struggle on the long ball, and PFF's numbers don't differentiate 20 air yards from, say, 60. But Wentz has clearly been inaccurate down the field when the additions of Jeffery and Smith — who have gotten open — were supposed to improve his deep ball success rate.
"We've got to keep repping it in practice. We've got to keep getting better," Eagles coach Doug Pederson said on Monday. "Going back to college … [Wentz has] been a very accurate down-the-field thrower on those types of throws."
If there's been another area in which Wentz has struggled it's been holding the ball too long when under a heavy rush. There's a give and take in his tendency to extend plays. He is nimble and athletic enough to evade defenders and either throw downfield or run. Wentz's 11-yard scramble in the second quarter was exceptional.
He also avoided a sack when he threw with his left hand at Zach Ertz's feet before being dragged down later in that quarter. But two of the three sacks Wentz took were as much his responsibility as anyone's, especially when Pederson gambled on fourth-down-and-8 three plays after the quarterback missed Jeffery deep.
Wentz's first read was covered, but rather than switch off to an open Nelson Agholor or to LeGarrette Blount short of the sticks, he held the ball and was sacked.
"They just had good coverage and we were playing aggressively," Wentz said. "Unfortunately, I held on to the ball too long."
There were a few other plays Wentz likely would want to do over. He checked down to tight end Trey Burton for a 1-yard loss after a play-action boot when he had Jeffery open farther downfield.
But Wentz remains a work in progress 19 games into his young career. It's still too early to make any declarations about his development, particularly this season vs. last after just three games. But his late-game performance and the 19-yard pass he squeezed into Jeffery that set up Elliot's heroics suggest improvement.
"I knew 7 seconds was definitely pushing it with the route, which I think was 15 yards," Wentz said of his sideline pass to Jeffery. "But in those situations, you just have to take some chances."
Wentz had a clean pocket, but time was of the essence.

Are degrees paying off?
Often a university degree is as much about our parents as it is about us. Our parents invest enormous amounts of time, money and immeasurable support into our education.
According to the 2015 HSBC Learning for Life Report 92 per cent of parents surveyed in the United Arab Emirates see an undergraduate degree as an essential step to achieving life goals.
But more often than not parents and students alike struggle to pay off the enormous expenses involved with higher education in the UAE.
Twenty one-year-old Shereen Mir started her Bachelor of Business Administration at the American College of Dubai in September 2012 but started part time work to help her father pay the fees.
"I have been working since April 2014 to pay off my fees - that was the primary reason for me to start working. Because we already have so many expenses at home, I thought I would start working and pay off me fees on my own," she said.
But even with her additional contributions the expenses were too high and Mir had to stop her studies in July last year.
"I have just paused it for a little while but I am hopeful that when things settle down I will return," she said.
Mir said it is essential that she finishes her degree.
"Yes I definitely will have to go back and study, it is really difficult right now to survive without a degree. There are times now where even a masters isn't sufficient to get a job. I do want to at least have my bachelors completed."
Mir is currently working at the front office at a school in Dubai and said that she looks forward to saving up enough to return to her studies.
For Sakina Kesariya the expense was made easier through a full scholarship offered to her by Amity University where she has completed her first year in a Bachelor of Science.
But her father Munawer Abbas said that if she is not offered the full scholarship for the next year he might consider moving her to Amity College in India.
"Because it is more than double the cost here compared to India," he said.
Abbas, who has lived in the UAE since 1988, said transferring his daughter would be an absolute last resort.
"There are of course better opportunities here in the UAE because it is an international market, and she can showcase her talents internationally. I definitely prefer the UAE, because I want to keep my children in front of my eyes," he told Gulf News.
Single mother Daizy Khan said she struggled to pay her daughter's fees after losing her job last year.
"I had to borrow from friends for her tuition and accommodation as I had to leave for a few months when I lost my job last September," she said. She now has a job.
"She is my child. I don't want her to struggle. I want her to concentrate on her studies and on learning experience. I personally feel that education is what is worth spending on in the long run."

Syllabus Rules and Pre-requisites
Curriculum Design: Outline Syllabus
The Part 1 programme for students taking History is designed to extend and deepen the students' knowledge of the past and to introduce you to some major historical topics and themes from classical antiquity to the present day.
Students will also become more familiar with the wide range of primary sources used by historians (including yourself) in the writing of history. They will gain insights into how historians (including yourself) conduct research and interpret the past, and you will therefore better understand the reasons for changing historical interpretations.
In the process, by undertaking directed reading, by using electronic resources, by independent research, by attending lectures, by participating in seminar discussions and workshops, by working sometimes in a team, and by producing written assignments, meeting deadlines, and receiving constructive feedback on what you have written, students will develop your study techniques and other transferable skills.
The long chronological range and types of history covered by the course will extend your intellectual and historical interests and enable you subsequently to make informed choices from among the many historical options available to you in Part 2, either as a History Major student or as a Minor.
The course is divided into three main blocks
1. Core (Week 1-15): this block of the course will provide students with an overview of major historical themes throughout the centuries, enabling them to (a) appreciate the distinctive features of different historical periods; and (b) appreciate continuity and change over time by inviting comparisons across a range of key areas (e.g. society, daily life, conflict, religion, power/authority). This block is divided into three chronological segments: ancient/medieval (Week 1-5), early-modern (Week 6-10), and modern/contemporary (Weeks 11-15)
Topics covered in this block will typically include:
- Identity, self and society
- Religion and the sacred
- Kingship and empire
- Conflict, war and peace
- State formation
- Global economies
- Science and the idea of progress
- Space, movement and expansion
- Revolutions
- Urbanisation
2. Disputed Histories (Weeks 16-20): this block will introduce students to a broad historical topic that has divided historians and caused controversies. This segment will have a distinct historiographical element, familiarising students with different interpretations and historical debates over time. It will also complement the programme of study offered by the 'core' segment, by maintaining focus on key themes already developed in preceding weeks but also introducing new perspectives and historical methodologies.
3. 'Dates' (Week 21-23): this block, offering student choice from a menu of options (typically 4-6 per year, depending on the size of the cohort; this will be reviewed at the end of each year), will provide students the opportunity to work in an intensive workshop format to deal with a more narrow historical topic in depth, using predominantly primary sources. In this way, students will acquire a taste of the more advanced historical learning that is practised in Part 2.
Topics/options offered for this block will typically include:
- 410 (Sack of Rome)
- 800 (Crowning of Charlemagne)
- 1066 (Norman invasion of the British Isles)
- 1492 (Meeting the New World)
- 1649 (The execution of Charles I)
- 1893 (The myth of the American West)
- 1933 (Closing of the Bauhaus School)
- 1947 (Partition of India)
The themes covered by the course reflect the interests and expertise of the department's many academic staff. Topics covered will include:
- Rank and Race—Identity, Self and Society in the Middle Ages
- Religion in the Middle Ages—Sin and Salvation
- Kingship, Government and Empire
- Settlement, Space, Movement—Who Travelled and Why
- War and Peace—Conflict and Conflict Resolution
- State formation and war in the early-modern world
- Overseas expansion, migration, and imperialism
- Science and the idea of progress
- Revolutions
- Modernity and the 'modern world'
- New global economies
- Urbanisation and governing population
- The 'violent 20th century'
- Postwar world: modernity, progress and the 'end of history'
- People without history (Disputed Histories)
The programme of lectures (two per week) and of seminars (one per week) runs throughout the Michaelmas and Lent Terms and the first half of the Summer Term. The seminars will require the students to study set texts, most of which are accessed in digital form. Assessment is by coursework (essays and other exercises, plus seminar performance) and by an end-of-course examination.
Students will spend at least twelve hours a week on their History studies, equivalent to one-third of their Part One studies at Lancaster. The other Part One subject(s) that students will study - some of which, especially in the Arts and Social Sciences, have historical content or are in allied disciplines - will take up the rest of their working week.
Curriculum Design: Single, Combined or Consortial Schemes to which the Module Contributes
The new course has similar aims and intended learning outcomes as the History Part 1 course, and therefore constitutes an acceptable replacement.

- 50% Exam
- 50% Coursework
Assessment: Details of Assessment
COURSEWORK (50% of total)
- a bibliographical exercise (Week 3 - formative);
- two short essays (1500 words; 20% each of CW total, due in Weeks 8 and 16);
- one longer (2,000-2,500 words; 30% of CW total) reflective essay on a topic of historical controversy (corresponding to the 'Disputed Histories' segment) due in Week 21;
- a gobbet-style exercise (three gobbets of 500 words each, making up 20% of CW total; due in Week 24);
- a seminar grade (10% of CW total): determined by seminar tutors on the basis of student attendance and contribution to classroom over Week 1-20.
Thus, coursework assessment will be made of two short essays (20% each; total 40%), one longer essay (30%), the gobbet-style exercise (20%), and a seminar grade (10%).
- three-question three-hour unseen examination (Summer Term). Students will be asked to answer two questions from Section A (core component) and one from Section B (Disputed Histories).
Educational Aims: Subject Specific: Knowledge, Understanding and Skills
The principal subject specific aims are
- to make students better informed about the historical past from the ancient to the modern, and aware of the history of different geographical areas;
- to make students aware of how historians (including themselves) study the past and how in their research and writing they 'create' history and therefore why interpretations of the past develop and differto alert them to historical inquiries which principally concern political, economic, social and cultural forces and practices, and the relationship between them;
- to make them sensitive to issues concerning continuity and historical change, allowing them to appreciate and study the forces that shaped the history of Europe and the wider world;
- to make them aware of the distinction between primary and secondary sources, some of the forms (and not just written text forms) they take, and how historians (including themselves) use them or should use them.
This Part One module will also make History students better able to choose their Part Two programme on an informed basis from among the range of specialist modules available.
With regard to the individual components of the course, the specific aims are:
- CORE: coherent chronological coverage, providing students with a strong sense of historical context in the long term; appreciation of historical change over a long period of time with a focus on key thematic areas; thematic structure offers opportunity to also address historiographical and theoretical/methodological questions about history as a discipline;
- BLOCK 1 (Disputed Histories): notions of 'historical truth'; awareness of methodological and theoretical issues regarding the discipline of history; engagement with historiography; ability to praecis and critique; relationships to own argument (inspiration; foil etc.); referencing conventions;
- BLOCK 2 (Dates): awareness of significance of genre; different types of sources; close analysis of historical evidence; how sources are used as evidence; how evidence is used to create an argument.
Educational Aims: General: Knowledge, Understanding and Skills
The principal general educational aims are to make students:
- more informed and also more skilled in acquiring information, for example by library searches, by the use of Moodle sites, by web searches, by using multimedia resources, and especially by reading;
- more skilled in critically and constructively analysing information as it is being acquired and by engaging in discussion, presentation and written work;
- more skilled, persuasive and confident in presenting their knowledge and understanding.
Learning Outcomes: Subject Specific: Knowledge, Understanding and Skills
- On successful completion of this module students will be able to:
- exhibit knowledge and understanding of a range of historical topics and issues from the ancient to the modern;
- explain how historians (including themselves) 'create' history when writing up their research, and of the importance and value of interpretation and debate;
- identify historical meta-narratives and why and how they have been created, expressed and criticised;

Reprinted from The New York Times by
After two false starts on President Trump's promise to repeal the Affordable Care Act, Trump administration officials are pressing the House to vote on a revised version of the Republican repeal bill this week, perhaps as soon as Wednesday, administration officials said.
And Trump insisted that the Republican health legislation would not allow discrimination against people with pre-existing medical conditions, an assertion contradicted by numerous health policy experts as well as the American Medical Association.
"Pre-existing conditions are in the bill," the president said on CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday. "And I mandate it. I said has to be." …
"Health status underwriting could effectively make coverage completely unaffordable to people with pre-existing conditions," the American Medical Association said in a letter urging members of Congress to oppose the latest version of the repeal bill. …
NY Times 5/1
Reprinted from The Washington Post by Amber Phillips on May 1, 2017.
Health-care policy is incredibly, unbelievably complicated. (Who knew, right?) But if you only learn about one issue, let it be this: whether insurers should charge people with preexisting conditions more because taking care of those people's medical expenses costs more.
It's the perennial sticking point in almost any health-care-reform bill, and House conservatives and President Trump might be at an impasse about it now.
"I want it to be good for sick people. It's not in its final form right now," Trump told Bloomberg News on Monday of House Republicans' health-care bill. "It will be every bit as good on preexisting conditions as Obamacare."
In an interview with CBS's "Face the Nation" that aired Sunday, Trump promised to "beautifully" protect people who have preexisting medical conditions: "Preexisting conditions are in the bill — and I mandate it."
Except, what Trump is promising is the opposite of what House Republicans are considering doing. …
