Building Literacy for the Data Generation
A unique opportunity exists to develop data literacy education for children born into a world shaped by big data.
The question of how growing up with digital technology shapes a generation's outlook has fueled discussion since the description "Digital Natives" was coined in 2001. As commentators begin to weigh in on the experience of those born in the decade-and-a-half since then, Emmanuel Letouzé, director of Data-Pop Alliance, believes one milestone merits special consideration: The advent of Big Data.
"I say we are in the presence of a 'historical data generation' in two senses," says Letouzé. "Because data are being generated at a pace and scale never seen before, and because the children born around 2010 are the first 'data generation' in history; the same way those born between 1995 and 2000 were the first Internet generation." For Letouzé, this means that we have a unique opportunity to prepare this generation to navigate the major technological trends already shaping the era: "Most of them will learn to read and write code, but they should also be able to critically assess how, by whom, for what purposes data are collected and used. One need not become a 'data scientist' to have a voice in the age of data."
As we've covered previously, ensuring that not just data scientists have a voice in the age of data is key to ensuring that Data for Good lives up to the promise of its name. A major current in discussions of Data for Good this year has been the importance of engaging and empowering populations whose data forms Data for Good initiatives. Letouzé has stressed that such concepts may not be very meaningful if they are not grounded in helping communities understand what data are and how they are being used.
This underlies Letouzé's call for a robust definition of data literacy, combining both a grasp of technical fundamentals and critical reasoning about the ends to which they are put. He stresses that data literacy must be conceptualized in terms of "the desire and ability to constructively engage in society through and about data—that is, a conceptualization that isn't only about providing technical skills."
It's a view echoed by Daniel Pedraza, data scientist at the data analytics firm Quid. "To succeed, it's about developing the right mix of qualitative and quantitative skills. Teamwork, perseverance, the ability to conceptualize architectures and processes, along with statistical, inference and regression skills, are all critical."
If the promise of expanding data literacy is clear, what resources can be used to achieve this goal—and to do so in such a way that data literacy doesn't remain exclusive to a few? Today, the most readily apparent resources are those that address the technical side of what data literacy means. For children, there are even interactive toys, like Codie, a robot that teaches kids the principles of coding, offering a hands-on way to develop understandings of foundational technological concepts. While having fun, kids use real programming patterns, like variables, loops, conditionals and step routines, to direct Codie's behavior, thus giving them a basis on which to build understanding of the fundamentals of topics like machine learning.
Yet as far as fostering critical reasoning around the use of data is concerned, Letouzé argues there's currently a comparative dearth of resources—a situation that requires remedy. "That will require investing in basic, primary education. There are also huge needs at the academic level around the world. Evaluations of existing 'data science' programs—online and offline—point to their too-narrow focus on technical aspects at the expense of ethical considerations notably."
Still, Letouzé sees reason for optimism in building on the success of initiatives already under way. "Another last piece of the puzzle is raising awareness and building capacities among 'policymakers.' There is no simple fix; the recipe involves a mix of outreach and advocacy, trainings. One of the most effective means is to get diverse groups of professionals to meet and work together with data, 'hands-on.' It's a slow process but things have changed fast in the past couple of years—overall in the right direction I think."
This suggests that such gatherings can play an important role in building bridges between practitioners, policymakers and educators. It may well be that sustained dialogue among the three is critical to designing successful data literacy programs, given that data science and its social deployments are continuously evolving. "The field changes so quickly, it's important to adapt and be able to design your own solutions," says Pedraza. No doubt, an essential lesson for "generation data."

Today, art centers serve as a nucleus of a neighborhood and BACA -Bailey Contemporary Arts and Ali Cultural Arts in Pompano Beach are recent beneficiaries of Broward County Community Redevelopment plans.
Understanding the role culture plays in the larger sense of community, Broward County has identified at least thirteen cities for community redevelopment. This is nothing new, it is an age old model, build a court house or city hall and community theaters and opera houses will follow.
I was given a tour of the newly renovated historic Bailey Hotel by CRA Project Coordinator Victoria Vitale. Vitale grew up in Pompano Beach and remembers the dilapidated building once at risk of demolition, she was happy to see the 1920s hotel designated a historical site and receive a $1 million makeover.
Once known as the working mans hotel with a pool room and and a hardware store on the main floor, this classic 1920s building is now the home of affordable studio spaces, educational programming and three main floor gallery spaces.
The center's director Sarah Miller Benichou has fostered an exciting array of multidisciplinary artists and programming, bringing these abandoned empty spaces back to life.
On view now are photographs from the Inside Out project and works by Artist Virginia Fifield.
INSIDE OUT is a global art project that gives communities all over the world a platform to express themselves through black and white photographs.
Virginia Fifield is a long time animal rights advocate and artist. Working in black and white, Fifield creates large scale charcoal drawings that are so authentic, they captivate you before you are able to decipher the deeper message behind the beauty of the work.
Other Recent exhibitions at BACA have included works by Ruben Ubiera and Henning Haupt .
Ruben Ubiera's "skateboard-isms" and gorilla street murals were downscaled onto a variety of found objects for exhibition in one of the three gallery spaces.
Artist Henning Haupt's work focuses on the painting process, Haupt explores spatial compositions through color fields and gestural marks.

When two readers wrote separately to me about the Riversford Hotel near Bideford ("It's run by the Jarrard family with style and simplicity"; "Spent a few days here and would be interested to have your views") I had great expectations.
Family-run for 30 years, eh? Sounds the sort of hotel the readers might like. Why is it called Riversford? Simple. The River Torridge is just down the road.
When we arrive at dusk, it looks a dour place, rather uncared for. As we enter, our hearts sink still more. We're in a floral-carpeted hotel where time looks as if it has stood still. The staff are friendly, though. We're given a key and told that our room is two flights up.
It's not a pretty sight, our room. It has a cheapo wardrobe pushed back as far as the sloping roof allows, a bed that has an elaborate headboard and apricot-coloured sheets made of some synthetic stuff, plus the sort of pillows we threw out years ago.
So, what's the view like? We rush to look at the river, only to find, on pushing open the top-hinged window, that black mould caused by condensation has settled on the bottom of the frame.
More fun - if you can call it that - in the bathroom where the loo has one of those "sanitised for your protection" plastic strips over the lid, though perhaps its main purpose is to stop the seat falling off completely (yes, we do seem to have had rather a lot of "seat" problems recently).
This time, instead of just putting it down, you have to carefully arrange it so that the next person doesn't fall in - while flushing it is one of those "if at first you don't succeed" affairs. "Ballcock," my husband says confidently.
Oh, we've had enough of this, let's go down to the bar and continue the moaning over a glass of wine. The wine list is short - makes life easy - presumably because most of the clientele are drinking bitter or knocking back Bacardi and Coke. Everyone's smoking... most unusual nowadays.
We spot the owner, who looks quite nice, though does he realise what a tired hotel he's running?
Good. The menu's mercifully short. I "make" (how cruel) my husband have the steak Diane. "All right," he says, "I know my duty."
I "make" myself choose chicken Maryland - gosh, that's an oldie - with crispy bacon, pineapple and banana. So, off to the restaurant we go - all swirly Artex ceiling and crisp white-clothed tables - where I can't keep my eyes off a girl who's eating her dinner with her anorak on and the hood up.
My prawn cocktail is accompanied by brown bread and butter. I'm soon nicking some of my husband's garlic toast and listening to the talk about Tenerife at the next table.
My husband's steak is rare - "Just as I asked," he says. I've got a really huge breast of chicken, very nice, I like simple food, even if I can't eat it all, which makes me feel bad.
"To justify the price perhaps," suggests my husband. "No, I think it's because they're used to feeding people who would complain if they were given mingy portions."
"Would you like a dessert?" the waitress asks doubtfully. "Oh yes, please - the chocolate sherry cream." "You're mad," says my husband. "Clotted or double?" asks the waitress.
Upstairs, my husband sits on the Ercol lookalike chair to read the paper. How I laugh when he practically hits the floor. "No wonder," he says, turning the chair upside down, "there are only three straps of webbing."
At breakfast I realise that I'm being scrutinised by one of the two ladies sitting at a corner table. "I'm sure I know you from somewhere," she says. "No, I don't think so." She carries on staring. "Have I seen you on television, then?" " 'Fraid not." Eventually she turns to my husband. "Are you an actor?" she asks. "No," he says, smiling.
Riversford Hotel, Limers Lane, Northam, Bideford, Devon (01237 474239), has 15 rooms. Paddy Burt paid £90 for b & b and £52.10 including wine. Total: £142.10.

Ancient baobab trees and lofty borassus palms provide the backdrop for this magnificent southern Malawi reserve.
Ancient baobab trees and lofty borassus palms provide the backdrop for this magnificent southern Malawi reserve. With its fertile floodplains, dense woodlands and lagoons sustaining over 400 species of birds, and harbours Malawi's largest remaining populations of elephant and critically endangered black rhino.
The biggest challenge facing Liwonde is the dependence on its natural resources by local communities surrounding the park. In the absence of an effective perimeter fence, high levels of poaching, illegal fishing and unsustainable deforestation had an adverse effect on the ecosystem prior to African Parks assuming management in 2015.
African Parks has completely overhauled law enforcement and out impact can be seen with fish poaching being largely eliminated and more than 16,500 wire snares removed that would have maimed countless wildlife. Conservation efforts include the historical elephant translocation and the reintroducion of cheetah to the park to help restore this iconic wilderness, in order for the local communities to benefit from the parks existence and ultimately ensure the park's survival.
While monitoring and managing existing elephant and black rhino populations remain a high priority. Improved access to water and electricity are an urgent requirement along with the construction of new staff accommodation and roads.
Malawi Department of National Parks and Wildlife is the statutory organisation in charge of national parks, wildlife reserves and sanctuaries as well as wildlife management on communal lands in Malawi. We began our work with the DNPW in Majete Wildlife Reserve in 2003 and in Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve and Liwonde National Park in 2015.Partners

ROBERT MOSKOWITZ: Window Shades, 1959–62by Barbara MacAdam
Back in 1959, Robert Moskowitz was making art that broadly and barely stood some place between conceptual, minimal, pop, abex, expressionistic, and new imagist. But in the subtlest of ways it belonged to no specific genre, and in that sense, was also very much a part of its time. More than ready-mades, the works here, in the familiar form of once-functional window coverings, can be considered art that makes itself, allowing the patina of time to alter its tones and internal shapes.
The eight paintings and two drawings in this tightly focused show, titled Window Shades 1959–62, are composed of discarded or found shades that, in one form or another, have been collaged onto canvas as is, torn, cut, or frottaged (that is, rubbed onto paper to create an impression).
Composed, as Constance Lewallen writes in her elegant catalogue essay, at a time when Moskowitz had a studio in London, the series was inspired by the artist's observation of a shade covering a skylight. He cut out a piece of it and glued it onto canvas, where the shape, she points out, resembled "the austere landscape-related abstractions of Clyfford Still." When he returned to New York, between 1960 and '62, he produced some thirty-five shade paintings.
Ostensibly non-referential, they nevertheless have a subtle beauty and the sense of alluding to whatever goes on behind lowered shades—blocking our view but letting in a bit of illumination. They can be sexy and, in that way, strangely narrative. Pulls that hang off the bottom of the shades or off the canvas invite us to look beyond and beneath, which we obviously can't do, while in a large (80" x 54") untitled work from 1962, a saucy fringe embellishing the shade's bottom edge seems to have been captured mid swing. The pattern on the shade uncharacteristically and improbably gives a sense of the object's biographical origins—more pattern and decoration than minimalist.
The installation moves from the most active of all—a large (54" x 119") untitled triptych from 1961 that manages to show action with the swinging pull that seems to oscillate like a metronome measuring time—to the stillest, black-and-white piece with an only barely perceptible cord. In the midst of such subtleties comes a weighty-looking image of the shade "sledding" in diagonally across the darker ground as if in a cartoon.
Some of the canvases are "framed" with pieces bearing rickrack stitching cut from the edges of the shades. In fact, such works, along with their Rauschenbergian smudges accidentally or intentionally take on the characteristics of landscapes geometrically hinted at by treelike verticals, while the finger smudges and the impressions from the frottaged pulls that are barely perceptible force a close reading and offer skewed entries into the work.
The tones are moody and neutral—cream and bedroomy-beige—conveyed by the rabbit-skin glue, which is applied as paint and assumes an aging process of its own, naturally tanning itself. The effect is reminiscent of the works of Dorothea Rockburne from the same period and Robert Ryman's seductive off whites. But Moskowitz's paintings are quite different—slightly talkier beneath their quiet demeanor and with their drips and rubbings and unexpected tears, they warrant close readings.
Unlike Moskowitz's subsequent more formal, more geometric, architectural-style paintings that are somewhat reminiscent of Frank Stella, these works have a softer, more poetic, spontaneous attitude that might well have autobiographical undertones
It's incidentally worth noting that the town-house installation allows for a satisfying intimacy that evokes the works' 1962 debut at Leo Castelli's cozy uptown gallery.

The Beautiful Brain: The Drawings of Santiago Ramón y Cajalby Taney Roniger
MAR 2018 | ArtSeen
When it comes to that distinctly human sensation we call awe, little can rival the complexity of our own brains to elicit it. Indeed, so staggering are the numbers— current estimates have it that each contains 100 billion neurons with 100 trillion connections between them—that the organ seems to founder before its own immensity. No less astonishing, though fortunately more comprehensible, are its structures—the cells' elaborate shapes and the byzantine networks by which they communicate— and this is exactly what we get to see in the exquisite drawings of Santiago Ramón y Cajal.

Early on Giorgio Morandi was a familiar, but marginal figure within Italian Futurism, who by the time of his death occupied only a modest place in modernist collecting culture. Thanks to important historical work by Janet Abramowicz in Giorgio Morandi: The Art of Silence (2005), we have a reliable account of Morandis life. To this growing corpus, we can now add the perspectives of other contemporary artists collected in Zwirner Bookss Giorgio Morandi: Late Paintings.

Decades and centuries ago, prisons were a far cry from the advanced incarceration facilities that make up the present-day facilities found all across our nation. It is exponentially more difficult today for a prisoner to escape a facility than it was years ago. The odds of a person in a maximum-security holding facility escaping are almost non-existent. Justification for capital punishment way back when was that a town or city would not be at ease knowing that a serial killer or even just a murderer was incarcerated, because of the small chance that he would escape and live to murder again. This would cause the town to live in terror of this possibility. Therefore, capital punishment may be the best solution. But what is the justification for capital punishment in our present day society?
The American Civil Liberties Union states that as of June 2002 (this is a dated figure, but still relevant) 108 people including 12 death row inmates have been found innocent through DNA testing. The number today is even higher. This statement basically ensures that some have been killed for crimes that they had no part in. How can we as an advanced society support laws that allow individuals to be sentenced to death? Human error is inevitable, as can be seen by the above statistic. There is no reason that we could not simply incarcerate those individuals for the remainder of their life. The death penalty takes away civil liberties. I do not believe that we as humans have the right to condemn others to death.
Lets look at it from a poor monetary standpoint, forget any moral or ethical cases against capital punishment; let's look at the money. It is more expensive to impose the death penalty than a life sentence. This is because of the number of appeals that must be heard, and the number of lawyers that need to be paid to argue these cases. The below quote is from the California Commission on the Fair Administration of Justice, July 1, 2008:
"Using conservative rough projections, the Commission estimates the annual costs of the present system ($137 million per year), the present system after implementation of the reforms ... ($232.7 million per year) ... and a system which imposes a maximum penalty of lifetime incarceration instead of the death penalty ($11.5 million)."
From simply a monetary perspective, why would you want to pay higher taxes to fund something when we can give someone life instead? Seems a bit odd to me. Factor in the fact that some have been found innocent after being sentenced to death causes it to really not make sense, as we pay much more to promote a system that kills innocent people.
Capital punishment has been abolished in 47 out of 50 countries in Europe. For many, it has been decades since the last execution. Why do we persist in something that simply makes no sense? Other countries have seen the shortfalls and moral issues surrounding capital punishment, and we as a free nation need to step up and recognize this as well.
For me: I will never support the death penalty, for any reason. I don't believe that it is ethical in any circumstance, and I will be a lifelong advocate for the abolition of capital punishment.
Please see the page below concerning executions that have taken place where there has been compelling evidence for innocence:

Generally, ornament can get very costly, and in such times, we are at a loss as to the way to go about the entire process. We feel the pocket pinch, we know that the financial institution balance is not too high, but we nonetheless need to make our homes look good. Listed here are some finances dwelling ornament concepts.
The main thing to recollect is that your house's magnificence isn't decided by the number of costly things inside it. Quite, it is good style and creativity that matter. It's essential to maintain the persona and concord in your house. Once you retain these fundamental ideas in thoughts, you're all set to go with finances adorning, when your finances do not permit in any other case.
One other great finances ornament concept is to add colourful cushions in and across the rooms. Cushion covers do not price much – buy completely different ones in numerous shades and sizes, and keep them in your sofa, in your mattress, and some even on the floor. This makes your house look much more informal and welcoming.

Taylor Swift's BFF Abigail Anderson Defends Her, Sends Prayer to Kanye West's Daughter
Taylor Swift's longtime BFF Abigail Anderson is showing her support for the singer in the middle of her controversy with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.
In a series of now deleted tweets, Abigail went on a Twitter rant about the couple and said a prayer for their three-year-old daughter North.
"Lord, hear my prayers…I pray God helps your daughter understand, that despite how many times she'll hear daddy reference all women as 'bitches,' she isn't one. I pray she understands her father actually IS faithful to her mother, despite all the adulterous comments she will hear her father making…I pray that she will understand 'adultery and bitches' are just daddy's form of art and not to worry because not every man thinks like him."
Abigail added, "Lastly, I pray for forgiveness. May God forgive you & your wife for doing to others the very things you pray are NEVER done to your daughter."
After receiving death threats, Abigail deleted the tweets but left behind a message about always supporting her best friend.
Guys…I will always stand by my best friend. There's no point in fighting over than. #BlessIt

Janis Roth Kester Life Coach
I recently retired from a local Community College, where I worked for 40 years! I held many positions over the years, from part-time front desk receptionist (when I was a student), Faculty Secretary, Word Processor, Admissions Assistant, Secretary to the Director of Admissions, and finally as the Events Coordinator. I worked with students, parents, professors, government officials, bridal parties and student activities administrators. I had to interact with a very diverse population.
I am happily married, have one grown son, an adorable 20 month old granddaughter and a Crestedpoo named Taz! We live in the country, which was always where I wanted to live, where we are surrounded by woodlands, corn fields, a horse farm and lots of nature! I love the outdoors – gardening, walking, camping, and bluegrass festivals. I have become very happy and content.
BUT it has not always been like this. I was a single mom for many years (15). I raised my son alone, so I know about working more than one job, stretching money to pay the bills, time management, being both mom and 'dad', and trying to stay positive. It wasn't easy, but I did it; and I feel it made me a stronger person.
I met my husband, Keith, 16 years ago and together we have built a very happy home. He plays upright bass in two Bluegrass bands. This keeps us pretty busy in the Summer; we go traveling and camping to different Mid-Atlantic Bluegrass Festivals. Of course, we have our struggles, just like anyone else, but we try to put things into perspective. We try not to be too serious about things. Being happy, content and comfortable is always our main priority.
Over the years, I have helped family members and friends with personal issues. I enjoy helping people. I have always had a 'knack' for dealing with problems. When I look back, I realize I was doing 'life coaching' for a long time! After I retired, I decided to go back to school and become a Life Coach. I was certified in January. With the personal knowledge I have and tools I have learned in my coaching classes, I would like the opportunity to help others. Everyone deserves to be happy!!!

Can you "BranchOut" or "LinkedIn" your way to a new career?
Facebook, and LinkedIn are now part of our common social media vocabulary. But wait…there is a newcomer to the scene, BranchOut, the Facebook application for professional networking. You should leverage the power of this FREE technology to beef up your social media presence and increase your visibility to potential employers.
Employers more than ever are checking out candidates prior to interview and hire; in some cases employers are using social media as a screening tool to narrow their pool of applicants. Even though there is debate over the potential liability with these employer searches, its use is on the rise.
Let's take a look a couple professional networking sites and how they might be used to support your Internet job search:
- Career Networking on Facebook: BranchOut– This application is new to me; it's the Facebook version of LinkedIn. The power of this app is your connections; when your friends join your network, you gain access to your friends (and their friends) network of people and their employers. The sales pitch for BranchOut is "It's not what you know, it's who you know!" Branch out also allows you to "endorse" people (provide references), post notices to your network, follow companies and contains a job board as well. When I accepted the BranchOut app, all my stored Facebook information about work history/titles/employers transferred over to my professional profile, which made my profile set up a snap.
- LinkedIn– If there is one social media site more closely related to job searching online, it would be hard to find. Not only can you pile up recommendations from relevant professionals, but you can also craft effective headlines and status updates that reflect your current status or your background. Potential employers can also search connections/candidates by a skill set to find a sub group of registered professionals. In my opinion, the real powerhouse of LinkedIn lies with joining "groups;" there is a group for everything and anything professional. By joining groups, you are connected to hundreds/thousands of professionals who provide sound advice, job leads, discussions threads, best practices, up to date tekkie knowledge and breaking industry news. Job postings are becoming more and more prevalent on LinkedIn as well.
Professional Social Media Rules of Thumb
- Be consistent – make sure the information from each social media site and your resume match. This is a "red flag" for employers if information is inconsistent.
- Be current – make sure you have the most current information on each site at all times. You never know who is looking.
- Use all the tools at your disposal – each site has different options, applications and widgets available to showcase your skills. Take advantage of these features to show your uniqueness and versatility.
- Especially during times of employment search, your social media sites need to be clear of vulgarity, alcohol consumption, partying, nudity and other fringe behavior. You may wish to remove religious and sexual preferences off your profiles if you feel they may lead to purposeful or accidental discrimination. These sites MUST remain professional – an interview or potential job offer may hinge on it.
According the BranchOut page – 85% of employers say a positive online reputation influences their hiring decision; give it a try today, let your social media profiles work for you!

End of a Diary.
When I was first requested to start a blog diary for my sport training, I had no problem adding here to A Turquoise Lining. My first thought: It will make things easier to keep up to date. And while this was true at the start, my little corner of the internet feels 100% dedicated to CrossFit -- and I kind of didn't like it. I dream of this space being an expressive outlet for me, a place to let out those random confessions and quirky thoughts. I also think of it as a way to connect with others and inspire them to live amazing, powerful lives. In the future, it would be amazing to connect my coaching business here. With my CF Diary on here, I felt it was taking away from the authentic feel I wanted. Yes, CrossFit is a big part of my life. A huge part, as I just accepted an invite to our comp class. And I wouldn't change that for anything. I believe things happen for a reason in our lives, and at the right time for our lives as well.
But after meeting with Coach Ryan a month or so ago to talk goals (not just gym-related - it was all-encompassing), I spoke of my blog as being a pastime, a hobby to hold outside of my gym life. And by mixing the two, it has led to a little unhappiness with how A Turquoise Lining has developed over its short existence. As of August 16, that was my last update for the CrossFit Diary -- the era of keeping it on here? Done. I am committing to using my WOD book, and may just start another notebook to track how WODs feel and my sleep/nutrition for the day. If we still need to have a live blog, I'll find a resolution once the conversation happens.
Wowza - glad I got that off my chest.
Sometimes you don't realize what you are holding in until you let your fingers take over and the words form on the screen. I noticed in the past few weeks my inspiration and desire to write was gone. You may have recognized my creative presence as I slipped into a bit of a hiatus. And I didn't like it. But at the same time, I was confused on how to get out of it. I was even more confused about why ATL wasn't inspiring me like the day I bought the domain. As I thought more and more of the direction this blog was going, the light bulb went on - I knew it was because I was putting all of my blogging energy into the CrossFit Diary; there was no room for me to document and share my creative thoughts.
Let's document that being the easiest and most obvious "a-ha" moment of the year. Along with figuring out my lack of focus during lifts was throwing me all off.
So I'm back. *inserts hallelujah hands emoji*
And more focused on giving to this space as much as I can; I mean, two posts already this week, and this being a third? Totally killing it. As I always hope to post multiple times a week, I'm going to start my post quota low at one post per week. More than one in a week? We'll just call those extras bonus posts. And as time goes on, and I get in the swing of making sure one post goes up, we might up the quota to two. It is all about the progress, right? The good news - linking up with Amanda's ToL on Thursdays will always be a good catch if I haven't had time to draft a post. Since the content = ramblings, it makes it easy to just let the mind go. BUT, I want to challenge myself, so my hope is to head in to the draft folder and get some of my ideas, thoughts and feelings published.
Again, thank you to those who have taken the time to follow (especially those 7 special souls on Bloglovin'!) me through my blogging journey. No one ever said it was going to be easy, but they also never tell you how much of an impact it can have on your life.
Preach it, Amy.
What is the last "a-ha" moment you had?

The Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC)
Certain kinds of questions can be answered only through animal studies
The University of Miami, like every other major research institution developing treatments and therapies to combat disease, conducts biomedical research involving animals. Health research institutions depend upon animal-based research because they need to understand complex biology and the impacts of new treatments in living systems that mirror human physiology, development, and disease.
Animal studies remain critical in developing treatments for injury and disease in both animals and humans
Animal studies have played essential roles in the development of therapies to combat AIDS, several forms of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, paralysis and other medical conditions. While numerous advances have led to new or improved clinical treatments and prevention strategies, there are many diseases where few, if any therapeutic options exist. These include leukemia, breast and pancreatic cancers, Alzheimer's disease, traumatic brain injury, and stroke.
A fundamental necessity for continued progress
As health researchers, we believe it is our moral imperative to use the proven and effective research process – which involves animals – to continue to make innovative discoveries that positively impact human lives.
We believe in the "Three R" principles of animal welfare – reduction, refinement, and replacement
We understand the tremendous responsibility that comes with animal-based research. We conduct studies with animals only when necessary and provide them with outstanding care. Substantial effort is made to ensure that all procedures are continually refined to minimize pain and distress to the animals. In addition, the number of experimental animals is reduced to the minimum necessary. The personnel who provide our animal care consider it a privilege to work with animals, and demonstrate this commitment daily by treating them with the utmost care and respect.
Internal and external oversight of our animal studies
The University's Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee reviews and approves all research protocols and procedures that the animals experience. As additional safeguards to the animals, our research program is inspected annually by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and triennially by the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care International (AAALAC), the highest standard of accreditation for US animal research programs. Oversight of our animal research includes not just routine reviews and reports, but also unannounced visits to research and training units, aiming to ensure that animals are treated humanely and with the utmost care. If there is ever a lapse in any process, it is self-reported, and appropriate and timely corrective actions are taken. Actions taken for any non-compliance can be severe, and range from official warnings to fines being imposed on the institution, with the possibility of suspension of work or the revocation of research licenses
We comply with federal laws and regulations including the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) regulations overseen by the USDA. We also closely follow the Public Health Service Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (PHS Policy) administered by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW). Our country's comprehensive animal care oversight systems require regular communications between research institutions and federal regulators to ensure that animals are treated well and adjustments take place as needed. This system works rapidly and effectively to ensure that animals are well cared for.
Animal studies at the University of Miami have already led to innovative therapies
Animal-based research at the University of Miami continues to contribute to advances in the treatment of serious human medical conditions—examples include:
- Researchers at UM's Miami Project to Cure Paralysis performed animal studies that led to the demonstration that "therapeutic hypothermia", a slight lowering of the temperature in areas of the central nervous system, can lessen the severity of deficits suffered by people with neurodegenerative conditions like traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury
- Animal studies performed by researchers at UM's Bascom Palmer Eye Institute have led to a novel gene therapy that is highly promising in initial human studies to treat Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy—a previously untreatable disease that causes progressive and devastating loss of vision
- Researchers at UM's Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center and Department of Microbiology and Immunology performed animal studies that led to development of a unique monoclonal antibody that is now part of a novel drug used successfully to treat cancer
The University of Miami ensures that all faculty and staff comply with federal and state guidelines concerning the use of animals in research and teaching through the Institutional Animal Care & Use Committee (IACUC). Working in conjunction with the Division of Veterinary Resources (DVR), the IACUC is accredited by the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC) and meets monthly to review protocols. IACUC members include participants from all University campuses and the general community.

Days 43-45: Visiting Odd Spot, Miagen, and WindfallJuly 25, 2013 at 10:04 PM | Posted in AC:NL | 18 Comments
Tags: AC:NL WiFi, Citalune
« Previous in AC:NL Journal | Days 43-45: Visiting Odd Spot, Miagen, and Windfall | Next in AC:NL Journal »
- Monday, July 22 (Day 43):
Lyra's fairy-tale house so far, with its new wall. All I "need" is the fence, but like I mentioned in the last post, I'll probably be moving her house's location, so I'll have to start over in collecting house parts. At least I haven't spent much on expansions yet!
I've been getting lots of boring, not-so-useful emotions lately, and this new sighing emotion aptly expresses my feelings about it. -_-
- Tuesday, July 23 (Day 44):
It's beautiful when the sky starts to lighten in the mornings and there are still some stars visible.
It looks like Estel's hedge will be short-lived since this fancy fence I've been wanting has finally showed up!
A new SpotPass house arrived in the HHA showcase 😀
Her house is probably my favorite so far, it has so many things I'd like to order! I haven't focused much on room-decorating or setting up exhibits in the museum's second floor because I figured my catalog was too limited to do it properly (and I don't like starting projects when I feel I can't do them properly), but maybe I can start working on those things now. ^_^ This room of Lindsey's will be especially helpful for the Astronomy exhibit I want to make. 🙂
My first bridge request… not one I plan on using.
- Wednesday, July 24 (Day 45):
I do like the new fancy fence more than the hedge, I think 🙂
I ordered an aurora screen from Lindsey's HHA house the day before, thinking it might make a good addition to my sky-themed room. The bottom of it is black, though, which bugs me since the room is white. I tried to hide the bottom of it by putting it behind this table, but I'll probably just take it out… it'd be more fitting for a nighttime sky-themed room, anyway.
I can match Melba now, haha 😛
It's starting to feel like my neighbors are trolling me with all these modern requests. xP Not that there's anything wrong with modern projects — they just wouldn't work in my town! In fact, later on I visited someone who's made great use of the modern clock in their town ^_^
I went to three different towns, and all were first-time visits! 😀
First I went to Courtney's town of Odd Spot to do a trade, and then I got to look around. 🙂
She gave me the cat tower DLC I missed out on, and I gave her the rolling suitcase DLC, which she wasn't able to get when she went to Best Buy. I was pretty bummed when I realized I'd forgotten to pick up the cat tower, so it feels great that I was able to get it after all, thanks a lot Courtney! ^_^
I couldn't help but go admire this statue fountain right away, ahh, I love it! 🙂
It's hard to get it all in one picture, but the town tree plaza is well-decorated with brick patterns, hybrids, and orange trees, creating a warm, sunny effect:
Estel's first cup of coffee of the day 😀 (got 2 more later :P)
Wish I had a lighthouse! I've heard that animals of any personality type can request one, so I'm surprised no one has yet.
I love the design of Courtney's house, like a cottage in the woods 🙂
And the mixed-and-matched pink and blue customizations on Pinkie's house look so pretty together!
Meeting and chatting with some of the charming residents of Odd Spot:
It was O'Hare's birthday! ^_^ He didn't have the party decorations set up while I was in town, but I wished him a happy birthday all the same.
Before I left, Courtney let me buy this regal bookcase, previously belonging to Kitty. I'm collecting the regal series and it'll be nice to have this piece with a bit of history from a resident of another town. Thanks for letting me look around, and for the cat tower and bookcase! 😀 Odd Spot is such a lovely cozy town. 🙂
A bit later on I had a WiFi set up with Cassidy in her town Miagen. 😀 We'd WiFied a few times before, but I hadn't been to her town yet.
A little gift exchange: I gave her an arched window because I thought it might look good in her haunted Rococo room (at least while waiting for something better to come along), and she gave me a star projector (for my Astronomy exhibit, how thoughtful!) and a stained glass lamp I'd been eyeing in a SpotPass house (but couldn't order >_<). Thanks so much! 😀
She has gorgeous paths set up in her town, and coupled with the surrounding trees and flowers, it gives such a lush atmosphere.
Ah, it's the villager who has the same name as one of my characters. 😛 Hope she never turns up in Citalune, that would be confusing!
Random tidbit: Back when I created a character for Violet and typed in her name, it actually wouldn't accept the name. I got the impression that the censor for curse words caught something? I just found it strange since there's an actual AC character by the name of Violet. I had to use a different character for the "o" for it to work.
Aww, Bluebear! She's such a cute peppy villager 😀
While looking around, the first house I came across was this log cabin. Very cozy!
I loved this little kitchen inside with the log cabin wall! Now that we can change the exterior of our houses so much, it's fun to try to get a unified feel to the entire house, inside and out, and for all the rooms — makes it feel more realistic. 🙂
The next one I found was a cute cabana house, again with a matching interior and exterior:
I've heard that you can customize cabana furniture with gold ores, and I wonder if that's what these are? Not sure, but they seem brighter than what I remember.
This wall radio is actually one of my own personal favorite items so far! It plays all these different clips of music (some unfamiliar and some familiar, like once I heard K.K. Ragtime) with a fuzzier quality than most music players, and there are often voices and laugh tracks in the background. It just gives off a nice atmosphere, I think.
This stone one with an impressive garden is the mayor's! 🙂
And inside I found the haunted Rococo room — the eerie blue lighting and Hypno K.K. really complete the mood!
Pic together by the town tree 🙂 For a lot of us, our town trees have been stuck at this size a while, hope it grows again soon!
She's got an illumination park started, so pretty ❤ I love that it's illuminated even though it's not nighttime yet, it looks beautiful in the sunset.
Posing in the heart 😛
We went to the island and managed to do one tour before WiFi crashed, and then decided to eat dinner instead of resuming the WiFi. Thanks for having me over, Cassidy, I enjoyed exploring your town! 😀
Later in the evening I visited Windfall, the town of Jasper, a new 3DS friend I made recently through Cassidy. Shortly after, Cassidy arrived in Windfall as well.
Jasper and I at the entrance 🙂 He was kind to offer a tour of his whole town, and gave me lots of K.K. songs, thanks so much for those! 😮
I really like this wisteria arch and its placement near the waterfall, and how he's used the stream patterns all around.
A fun neon area 😀
This is probably my favorite spot in Windfall! It's hard to get all in one picture, but it's like a modern park you might find in a city, with the fountain and its garden as the focal point, street lamps all around, a modern clock nearby, and the Resetti Center incorporated into the street. In my town I also have a fountain with paths wrapped around it in a square (though it's in front of my train station), and I was planning on putting some street lights and bushes around it, so this was cool for me to see. ^_^
After finding out my lucky item from Katrina, Jasper offered to give the cap he was wearing so that I could fulfill it! Thanks so much, I'd been tripping all day and it stopped when I started wearing the cap 😀
Another awesome area in Windfall was this mini-mainstreet with the cafe, town hall, and police station just two spaces apart from each other.
I met some of the residents of Windfall and especially liked Beau:
He wanted to know how long it would take to run to Windfall, which is hard to say since we just take the train everywhere 😛
At the turn of the hour, we made sure to head over to the modern clock 😀 There were some futuristic noises and glowing, shifting rainbows across the screen. I remember reading about this on Cassidy's blog, and I think her word to describe it (uncanny) fits pretty well. 😛 It's neat, though! I wonder if any of the other clocks do anything.
Ooh, the regal wall looks nice in the modern structure, it gives the impression of a hotel.
The last place we visited (before WiFi crashed) was the museum's second floor. I loved this exhibit called the dream hotel, it's very creative and makes great use of the aurora screens! 😀 Thanks so much to Jasper — and to Cassidy and Courtney as well — for having me over and letting me look around your towns! It was such a pleasurable day of WiFi visits

Squeeee! Thank you for such a kind report about Miagen! I'm glad you like what I've done with it. 🙂
I think my favourite part of town renovation in everyone's towns so far is seeing what people have done with their mayor's estate. 😉 Like I've said before, I ADORE what you've done with Estel's entrance! (And I also think the castle frame would look perfect with your decor!)
Comment by mau5girl— July 28, 2013 #
Hey! It was great Wifi'ing with you yesterday! Sorry I had to leave so soon…and leave you for five minutes. I was in a horse-riding competition today, so I had to do all the preparations yesterday. My poor planning skills. Sorry! But I guess we ARE Wifi'ing next week…unless I've forgotten something else. But it was great to see Citálune, and meet Jasper, and thank you so, so much for all the cherries and persimmons! I planted them when I got home and all of them lived! Oh, and thanks for letting me catalog those Rococo and Sleek items. I had a few of the Sleek ones, but the thought counts. I'll look for stuff to bring as a present for you next time, but, as I said, my T & T're useless. Do you have TIY? I could bring some bushes or something over, if you need them, but you'll probably unlock it in the next few days. Anyway, thanks, and I'll keep looking!
Cool post! I love hearing what people think on other people's towns, even if I'd never visited the one they did themselves…That just got really complicated at the end. But I loved the look of all the towns! Odd Spot has my 2# favouite neighbour ever: Cookie. It reminds me of one of my dogs who was named Cookie by his breeder's kids before we got him, even though he looks nothing like a cookie. Plus, she's just adorable! I have a soft spot for AC dogs. I think (On the topic of clocks doing things) that the Zen clock has a cuckoo which pops out every hour, or else just has pointless little doors on the front. I'm thinking its the first.

I'm really, reaaaaaally sorry, but I can't Wifi on Saturday, cause I have to go to my cousin's house that has no Internet connection. But I'll be free sometime in the future…dunno when, though, my life's really busy this month.
Aww, your cat sounds like he was gorgeous! I have a partially black cat, but he's so unlike and AC character that I can't connect him to one. I love Kiki too – she was my first-ever friend in AC. Even if she's not particularly beautiful, she has one of the nicest characters, in my opinion.
Great, you have T.I.Y.! I wish there was more bushes for sale : I've got huge plans but a measly two bushes a day is just…just…GAH.
Yeah, the fruit was really helpful, and as my town doesn't have things such as Re-Tail of the town hall strewn all over the place, I didn't run out of them, either, and finally got to give the overwelming amount of my villagers who asked for cherries what they wanted. They're really annoying me now, because they're always asking for modern PWP. They come up, all, "Hey, mayor! You know what I think this town needs?" (And I get excited – a fairy-tale item at last) *Presses A* "I think this town needs a modern bridge/lamp/bench! Isn't that great?"
I'm able to work at my café now, but it's frustrating. All the villagers keep being really vague about what they want!

What time do you get up, Amy?! It seems that you're going to bed so late that when you decide to hold a PWP ceremony, nobody comes, and then you're up so early to get beautiful shots of your dreamy town! How is this possible, I mean, I need like 11 hours of sleep to feel fully rested, haha! 😉
I have Lindsey and DY from the HHA Showcase as well – they must be Nintendo people!
LOLL, Violet is such a creep! She was always creepin' in Cassidy's garden all day, running around with her purple, little monkey bum! She recently moved, though, if you haven't already heard. 😛
Jasper's, like, too kind! He's always offering me stuff when I go to his house, aww. 🙂
Comment by Sophiestar— August 4, 2013 #
Ahh, right! I was going to try swimming around and then going to talk to my neighbors for projects! Do you do it in the morning because Melba is the only one up and she has all the good PWPs? 😉
That's right! Cuz usually the people I meet on Club Tortimer like rip down the trees and shed down the flowers on the island, and I'm like "Yikes! I don't want them in MY town…" Ikkr! It's going to take a while to find that stuff, it's kind of unfortunate, actually! 😦

Blue Runner Foods for decades fixed red beans for cooks who didn't have the time or impulse to simmer beans from scratch.
The cans in the distinctive blue and white labels provide an easy solution, just heat and eat. But now the company is expanding not by selling convenience but by harkening back to traditional Louisiana cooking. Blue Runner wants not just to be the canned bean company but also the choice for consumers who buy and cook dry beans.
"We would like to be the red bean company, whether cooked or dried," said Katie Thomas, vice president of operations, whose father Richard Thomas purchased the company in 1993.
In getting into the dry beans business, Blue Runner is pushing into a market many associate with another company that has as established a south Louisiana pedigree as themselves: L.H. Hayward and Co. of New Orleans, with its familiar Camellia beans.
"We always take any type of competition seriously," said Jessica Wilson, sales and marketing coordinator with L.H. Hayward, who also noted that the company has been selling dry beans to consumers since 1923.
Poppy Tooker, the New Orleans-based host of "Louisiana Eats!" the National Public Radio member-affiliated weekly show, called the new entrant into the Louisiana dry beans market a fascinating development.
"It's almost like going back into the future," Tooker said.
In New Orleans, where the Camellia brand is the top dry-bean seller, "nine out of 10 people are still cooking dry beans" and Mondays are still "red beans and rice days" for home cooks and restaurants, Tooker said.
But Tooker also gave props to the Blue Runner product, saying the beans are "absolutely the best way (for home cooks) to serve red beans and have everybody think they've been cooking all day."
Wilson, of L.H. Hayward, said that over the company's 90-year history, it has helped build the Monday red beans and rice tradition.
"We're a huge staple" in the Gulf South, she said.
Blue Runner is initially keeping the dry beans distribution — which includes both red and navy beans — to stores in southeastern Louisiana, Katie Thomas said.
"We have to order our beans six to seven months out before (the growers) even plant" so the initial rollout was conservative. Blue Runner sells canned beans throughout the Gulf South and in parts of the East Coast and the Midwest, she said.
But the Gonzales company expects its dry line business to grow.
The business in fact recently came before the Gonzales Planning and Zoning Commission seeking site plan approval for a 15,000-square-foot storage and distribution building going up at its facility, a $2 million investment driven by its expanding lines.
The commission has recommended that the City Council approve the plans.
The Blue Runner company, which sells 15 different varieties of canned beans, has roots back to 1918, and its blue and white buildings on Burnside Avenue in Gonzales are well-known landmarks.
The addition of dry product lines to its canned items is the second time the company has added something to its plate in recent years.
In 2011, the company rolled out a line of Creole meal bases — to which home cooks can add rice and meat or seafood — that includes gumbo, jambalaya, étouffée and bisque.
Richard Thomas and Luis Ramoz, vice-president of production, worked for about a year on the recipes in the Blue Runner test kitchen.
"We started in gumbo pots, then went to 10-gallon, then 300-gallon" kettles to tweak proportions and spices, Ramoz said.
After the Blue Runner Creole bases appeared on grocery shelves four years ago, Katie Thomas said management named 2011 the year "we put every Louisiana dish in a can" and said, "What's next?" "We do an annual managers' meeting and someone said 'dry beans,' " she said.
Thomas said the company has expertise in dry beans going back many years and with the same growers.
"We were always buying them, we know what makes a good dry bean. It's something we've always done," Thomas said. "It's just a matter of selling them to the consumer instead of cooking them ourselves."
Part of the decision to add the dry beans lines was something else new at Blue Runner — a $250,000 computerized machine that sorts, cleans and polishes the beans. The company purchased the machine last fall and got up and running in December.
"We were sorting by hand. With the machine, we can sort 18,000 pounds (of beans) an hour versus 16,500 per day with six employees," Ramoz said.
No employees lost jobs with that switch to automation, and the company has hired two more employees, for a present total workforce of 32 people since it began processing and selling dry red beans and navy beans, he said.
The company's increasing move to automation has been a plus for employees, Ramoz said.
"With technology you have to invest in a lot of training with employees," he said.
"We do a lot of cross training. It's not, 'This is going to be your job the rest of your life,' " Ramos said. "If you're happy, you're going to enjoy your job."
Blue Runner canned red beans have always been the company's No. 1 item, Thomas said, but the company has seen a little decline there, "almost a move away from red beans being a Louisiana tradition."
" 'How can we keep that?' " company leaders asked themselves, she said.
In response, Thomas said Blue Runner has started to market "red beans in general, the memories."

Description: Johan Gustafsson is famed for creating some of the most detailed Damascus found anywhere -- and this is an exceptional example of his work.
The blade was forged to shape from Johan's multi-bar mosaic Damascus. Separate bars of mosaic Damascus were combined into one of the most dramatic and complex blades that I have seen to date -- the Damascus becomes all the more complex upon closer examination. Johan has spent years developing a complex heat coloring technique to bring out colors rarely, if ever, found in other makers' work. A firecracker pattern edge completes the blade.
The handle incorporates mosaic front and rear bolsters with amber. The natural amber is a brilliant yellow tone with darker and lighter veins. The bolsters are dovetailed to the amber for a perfect fit. The bolsters incorporate Damascus matching the blade. The scales sit on fully fileworked and anodized titanium liners. Full Damascus backbar. Gold plated screws finish out the presentation.
The blade has silky-smooth action and is easily opened using the damascus thumb stud which holds a ruby. The adjustable stop, unique to Johan's knives, allows the angle at which the blade is closed to be changed. Exceptional fit and finish throughout.

ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- As parents we hope we'll notice the warning signs if our kids are hanging out with the wrong crowd. Now Rockford Police are acting as our backup, sometimes noticing things we may not.
"I made some really bad decisions as a teen and nobody stopped or looked to see what I was doing," Cindy Taylor, a mother of teenagers, said.
It's a pain Taylor still lives with today. At 17-years-old she checked herself into rehab. Her life is different now, passing along the lessons she learned to her teenage daughter.
"I've been there. I talk to my kids openly about it," she explains.
It's those life experiences that have her praising a new plan by Rockford Police. When cops see a teen hanging out with the wrong crowd or turning to a life of crime they'll go straight to the parents.
"Sometimes parents let you in and you go to their room and say, well this is gang graffiti and they look at you and go really? I thought he was doodling," Rockford Police Chief Dan O'Shea said.
When asked if she thought most parents recognize gang graffiti and drug paraphernalia, Stephanie Stark said, "no. I think either they know or they're naïve about it. They think kids are perfect and our kids are not perfect."
This comes as Rockford Police continue to fight youth crime. A group of teens crashed this stolen van a few months ago. Chief O'Shea says auto thefts and strong armed robberies are the most common crimes they commit.
Just a few weeks ago a Rockford man was hit so hard by some teens, he had a broken nose and had five stitches over his eye.
Taylor's daughter is in with the right crowd, but finds peace in knowing police are also watching.
When officers do those home visits they may also have a pastor or someone from a community organization with them to offer services to the teen and their family.

Evan stared intensely at his mother across the kitchen table. "Eye-juh-fuh-JALL-uh-juhhh—"
"AY as in 'say,' Audrey said. She glanced at her open laptop. "AY-yuh. Yuh, not juh."
"Yuh. YUH-juh-fuh-JALL…juh. Yug. Ugh." Evan looked at the Icelandic word in the headline: Eyjafjallajökull fills European airspace with ash. "How do you get yuh out of a J?"
"Don't look at the word; it'll yust confuse you. AY-yuh."
"Ain't-a 'fraid tuh YO-del," Joe said behind them. He scuffed into the kitchen, still in his sweats and flip-flops. "What's all the pressure, Ev? You going to Iceland or something?"
"No, I'm not going to Iceland," Evan said. "I'm going to school." He went down the hall, mumbling, "Ay-yuh. Fuhd-luh. No, AY-yuh-fall-uh—"
Audrey said it as fast as she could: "AY-yuh-FYAHD-lah-YOH-koodtl."
"Mom, am I mistaken or are you showing off?" Joe was getting out some ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, buttermilk, eggs.
"Yo' mama is remembering when we were at the mercy of whatever yokel we watched on TV. Now I can sit here and listen to a native Icelandic speaker on my little computer. I can even tell you what it means."
"Because I'm at the mercy of whatever—"
"Eyja means island," Audrey said. "Fjalla means mountain. Jökull means glacier. Eyjafjallajökull."
"Island… mountain… glacier. Islandmountainglacier. Volcano. Huh. It's called exactly what it is. Mount St. Helens could be—"
"Forestrumbledome," Audrey said, then shook her head. "No, I can do without the compound words."
Joe pulled a skillet off the pot rack. "You want some pancakes?"
"Love some. This says there's a whole national effort to keep the Icelandic language pure, so they adapt their own words to stay current without bringing in foreign words."
"Like "global warming"?
"Yeah, they hate that. They make up a lot of words, too, by merging them—oh, listen to this! They banned the letter Z in 1974."
"Banned it? Why?"
"I don't know," Audrey said. "I can look it up. There's a lot going on here under the surface."
Evan burst into the kitchen and halted.
"Ho, it's Brotherrunswithwheeliegirl," Joe said.
Evan fought to avoid Joe's eyes. He spoke slowly to Audrey: "Ay. Yuh. FYAD. La. YOH-koodlt." He got a thumb's up from his mom and rushed outside. "Ay-yuh-fyad—" The door banged shut.
"What was that all about?" Audrey asked.
"It's about language, mom." Joe adjusted the flame on the big stove and flicked butter into the skillet. "Turns out I speak Viking."

Reveal your radiance
Discover a transformative new ARTISTRY range.
Boost your beauty sales with training from Amway Academy! Learn to integrate ARTISTRY Ideal Radiance with other beauty products, and receive relevant training to help you retain – and gain – customers.
The Amway Academy anti-ageing skin care course is relevant to all skin-related issues, and the valuable knowledge you'll gain can have a direct impact on your sales of beauty products.
Experience the Power System
The Ideal radiance power point presentation-pdf can be downloaded from Amway Academy; once you have logged in on www.amway.co.za.
ARTISTRYTM research and development has reached a new milestone with the ARTISTRY Ideal RadianceTM Collection. This exciting new advanced skin care system combines ground-breaking technology with special botanicals to help deliver 3D radiance that's noticeable within weeks.
The three dimensions of radiance – luminosity, translucency and an even skin tone – are all made possible with ARTISTRY Ideal Radiance. Innovative 3D technology can help reduce the appearance of dark spots and other skin discolourations, quickly reaching all three layers of the skin's surface.
At the heart of the collection are scientifically selected natural ingredients chosen for their ability to enhance, moisturise and protect the skin. Soothing flower blends, chia seed and a concentrated, luxurious form of pearl protein have been carefully combined to make the skin more radiant and protect it from further hyperpigmentation. These hydrating formulas are gentle enough even for sensitive skin.
The ARTISTRY Ideal Radiance Collection contains three products: Illuminating Essence, Spot Corrector and Illuminating Moisture Cream. Together, they form a powerful system to help eliminate dark spots and discoloration, revealing beautiful, glowing, younger-looking skin.
With the highest concentration of active ingredients, the Illuminating Essence (1) is absorbed rapidly and helps add an instant glow to your complexion. The Illuminating Essence significantly reduces the production of melanin, helping to prevent future dark spots and areas of uneven skin tone.
Ideally, the Spot Corrector (2) should be used directly after the Illuminating Essence, to target troublesome dark spots. This highly concentrated treatment helps diminish stubborn age marks and leaves the skin looking even-toned and radiant. Massage it twice a day into spots, freckles and other skin discolourations.
The ultra-rich Illuminating Moisture Cream (3) is intensely hydrating and helps to rebuild the skin's natural moisture barrier. At night, it helps to reduce dehydration; by day, the skin looks more radiant and evenly toned. Use it twice daily after the Spot Corrector.
Discover this remarkable new collection today – and reveal your radiance!

None of the dishes taste fresh, everything seems like they threw it in a microwave. Pizza is OK if you are drunk. Please make something fresh, and there kitchen looks like a dumpster.
If you want really good fresh pizza try Pizza Plus or Rubino's in Bexley

I've been going there with my family since 1960 and the food taste the same as it did then. I always have a good time there and good service. I've been to Italy a few times and the food in Lido's is comparable.
09/25/2008Provided by Citysearch -
I ate there for lunch one day during work. I had previously eaten there before with family and had great service and food. However, this lunch time was horrible. If you're by yourself or just with one other person, forget about being noticed by the waiters. They only catered to those in large groups (probably for a larger tip). Ironically when I was out with my family the previous dining experience the waiter we had (and I had this solo time) encouraged me to come on my lunch hour when he found out I started a job near by.
I had an hour lunch, arrived 5 minutes after I started my hour. I didn't get waited on until 20 minutes later and then, only after I checked with the waiter when I was able to get his attention (he was ""annoyed"" by my wanting to check to see if he even did place my order) did I get my food....with 5 minutes left to eat it. I watched others who were by themselves and they had the same treatment.
Needless to say I will never go to Lido's again for lunch. My tip: Only go in large groups - that way you won't be ignored. I would've left to go somewhere else but I guess I was just astounded by the blatant ignoring from the servers for everyone there solo and that by the time I got my order, it was too late to go elsewhere.
The food is great (try the stromboli) but the service there is highly lacking. Go for the food but don't expect much for service.

I went there on the day after Christmas, and none of my Christmas wishes were granted. I had the choice of three types of pizza, only one of which I would ever eat, plain cheese. The salad bar, by far the second best thing they offerred, and I am not normally a herbivore or, or realistically an omnivore. I much prefer meat, and the only thing on the buffet that had plain meat was some gristley calzone with no extra sauce on the side. Props to the hot wings, number 1, they blew everything else out of the water.
Then just before I was ready to leave a family came in and made one of their children crawl around on the floor and act like an animal to be fed ( I have pictures of this incident), needless to say I was disgusted, and I had no desire to eat more. Apparently no one else in the restaurant noticed this behavior including the wait staff, or they were worried about the tip they would get from the 7 person group acting like nuts versus the one person professional out for lunch by themselves the day after Christmas because their co-worklers were on vaction. Who knows? i will not be back for some time, and I am letting the owner/manager know what happenned.

Lido's makes their own dough, which is a huge step above most thin-crust pizza joints. The service was good, servers were friendly and helpful. We ordered a large 'House Special' which had pepperoni, sausage and mushrooms which we enjoyed - but don't miss their dough toes - little bits of dough covered in parmesan and served with a flavorful marinara.
12/29/2005Provided by Citysearch -
Lido's could never be described as romantic, and the booth seating is among the most uncomfortable I have ever encountered. Having said that, Lido's is a pretty decent place to eat if you are in the area. Their Ravioli Parmesan is tasty, and the Chicken Marsala is good value for money. Though we haven't tried their pizza, it is extremely popular, and it looks pretty good too. Lido's is not a place we would go out of our way to visit, but it's good if you're unlucky enough to be on Sawmill.

One of the better pizzas in NW Cols (which isn't saying much since most of the pizza in that area of town is mediocre). The pizza is quite tasty, but igreasy... so take some tums. The ""doe toes"" are also an interesting appetizer. In sum, while not the best pizza in Columbus, it is a lot better than the big chains.
