For the past 18 months, I've been navigating through the ever-extending universe of X-Men. As I've gotten deeper into the X-Men world I've noticed that I've been making fewer and fewer research visits to Wikipedia and other comics to understand plots and characters. As an individual reader, this is a pretty pleasant development because the stories are finally starting to flow due to be me being knowledgeable about the X-Men. But as someone who likes to share things, it's incredibly frustrating because I'm unable to talk about the comics with anyone other than people who have also read 30 years worth of comic books, which is no one that I know.
The normal course of action would be to seek out people who have also read 30 years worth of comic books and I can kind of dig that. But honestly, that seems like the wrong approach because the problem isn't that not enough people read comic books. The problem is that not enough comic books are made to be readable by anyone other than people who regularly read comic books.
I know that this isn't a new observation. Feminists have been making it for years, frequently giving up on cape comics and opting for independently published graphic stories, or writing and drawing their own (which they've actually been doing since comics existed). But I'm bringing it up now because it's intriguing how transparent the effort has been to just give up on accessibility.
For instance, I just finished Uncanny X-Force, a series about a mercenary wing of the X-Men that tries to reconcile killing people with the X-Men's philosophy of preserving life. In "The Dark Angel Saga" story arc, X-Force attempts to save its member Angel from succumbing to his evil persona Archangel. Archangel exists because the X-Men villain Apocalypse once kidnapped Angel and brainwashed him into becoming his minion. To save Angel, X-Force recruits Dark Beast, a minion of Apocalypse and doppelganger of the X-Man, Beast, from the Age of Apocalypse parallel universe where Apocalypse has conquered the world. Dark Beast takes them to this parallel universe and then the real story begins in earnest, going on to span 8 more comics.
Since this story arc starts with Uncanny X-Force issue #11, it makes sense for the authors to assume the reader has knowledge of issues #1-10. But to assume knowledge of comics from over a decade ago is quite a stretch. Seriously, the mere scaffolding for the story, its basics, requires knowledge of the X-Men universe that extends to storylines from the 80's and 90's. For these comics, suspending one's disbelief is secondary, possible only after expending one's time and money. Even as someone who has paid these costs, I don't like this.
And it's not because I think there are inherent problems with learning curves or opacity or niche audiences. Barring governments, healthcare, the internet and parks, I don't think that everything needs to be easy and accessible and widely available to everyone. I think there's real value in rarity and mystery and exclusiveness, depending on the circumstances. I'm struck by these X-Men comics because the opacity never goes away. Despite different artists, writers, stories and characters, the learning curve never really smooths out.
In other words, I fibbed earlier. The comics actually aren't flowing that much better from when I first started; I've just learned to navigate the gaps. There are always more comics to be read, more Wikipedia pages to scour. Reading these comics is like having a daily commute over a street that's riddled with potholes: the gaps eventually just become a part of the street.
I once celebrated the fact that comics had slowly phased out advertisements because I always used to see those ads as "interrupting" the stories. I now realize that the stories themselves have become advertisements and that the product being sold isn't the comics themselves, but access to them. To put it differently, cape comics sell literacy of cape comics. Inaccessibility is built into this model. This doesn't mean that all cape comics are a scam or that all their stories and art are invalid. There are good stories and ideas out there. But they come at a steep price that probably isn't worth it.
Suddenly, the Marvel Cinematic Universe doesn't seem like such a cool idea.

It is now the Internet age and if you want you and your website to keep up with the rapid changes in the internet, you must integrate a mobile web design Perth into your website. With the world now mostly turning to mobile devices to access the internet, it has now become important to have a mobile ready website. This means that you would need to incorporate mobile elements into your website's design for it to be easily accessible from mobile devices.
Now why should your website be mobile friendly? First of all 52 percent of Americans own a smartphone and if you would think about it, that's about 165 million people with internet-ready mobile devices in their pockets. Additionally, there is 60 percent conversion rate for sites that are mobile ready in contrast to the 23 percent of sites that aren't. You should also know that only 50 percent of Fortune 500 companies and 94 percent of small-time businesses have mobile ready websites. This means, that you can still get ahead in the business game.
If you are wondering what makes a mobile friendly site, then you should first know that these sites' layouts and design will be able to fit a smaller screen with enough space for navigation for easy pressing of buttons or icons. A mobile friendly site will also have action buttons that are easily locatable and when transactions are involved, there will only be a minimal number of steps.
The images would also have to go in accordance with the site so that it does not affect the loading speed of the website.
It should specifically be made available for touch-screens, allowing the user to swipe, tap and scroll through the website with ease.
To have a mobile friendly site, you can either create a separate website that is specifically meant for a mobile audience or you can integrate responsive design into your website. Responsive design will allow your website to respond to the form of device that it is being accessed from, shifting and making adjustments so that it becomes compatible with the said device.

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created here at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!
Each week we will post a new Top Ten list that one of our bloggers here at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join. All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can check out other bloggers lists! If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment. Have fun with it! It's a fun way to get to know your fellow bloggers.
Dear Santa,
I've been very good this year. (Yeah, right!) How are you? I hope you've had a good year. How are Mrs. Claus, the elves and the reindeer? Did Rudolph like the carrots I left for him last year? Tell him there will be more, right beside the milk & cookies. Those will be in their usual spot on the dining room table.
Well, Santa. Check this out: I started a book blog. So guess what's at the top of my list this year. Yep, that's right. You're a genius. I want books. So here are my top ten choices. Tell the elves that if they have trouble finding them at Chapters to ask a clerk -- they're generally very friendly.
Okay, Santa. I don't just want this book. I need it. Why? Because I have this teensy little problem with being an impulsive shopper and I picked up the second book, Clockwork Prince, for 30% off at Walmart. Yes. I know, Santa. I haven't finished the books by Cassandra Clare that I have. I'll get on that. Just bring me Clockwork Angel, okay?
Okay, Santa, here's the deal. This book sounds extremely interesting and I'm dying to read it. On my last trip to Chapters I was there two days too early and couldn't buy it because it hadn't released yet. Yes, Santa, I know I'm obsessed with these kinds of books. No, Santa. Clarisse doesn't have to know -- I know she thinks these kinds of books are scary. And no, I'm not sure if there is an edition being released in Reindeer so Dasher can read it. I'll check.
Santa! When I went to Chapters specifically to buy this it was sold out! I hate that! So it's all up to you. I've heard such fabulous things about this book and I am dying to weigh in on the discussion. Care to help me out? Another one to have Clarisse avoid, although if you feel up to reading it to him, I'm pretty sure Comet would enjoy it from what I've heard. Seems to be a lot going on here.
I just finished The Forest of Hands and Teeth and really enjoyed it. So it makes total sense that I want to read The Dead-Tossed Waves (and The Dark and Hollow Places, but I'll let family get that.) What?! Don't go pulling at your beard like that, it might fall out. (Or off. Depends on if this is The Santa or a "mall" Santa... Nevermind.) At least I didn't ask you for Hushed by Kelly York -- I think Ms. Donner's fur would all fall off. Family can take care of that one too, I'm sure.
Finally, something you can relate to. What? Don't tell me you think it's normal for reindeer to fly. Anyway, back to the book. This sounds extremely interesting and I've been wanting to check it out for a while. I figure I'll need something contemporary to counter all of these crazy dystopian, postopocolyptic and paranormal books I want to get. This looks like it should be the ticket.
Oh, look! A fairy tale retelling. I love those, don't you? C'mon, admit it. Every time one of these gets released you and Mrs. Claus have had it pre-ordered for the last six months. Who can blame you? Is there anything more popular as a fairy tale / legend / myth / whatever then Santa Claus? Now, don't go looking all bashful. You know it's the truth. Admit it!
Fine. You don't want to be the hottest thing in town mythology wise? Lets give that to Destined, then. Yes, I'm sure you already know that it's about Eros and Psyche. What did Cupid say? No. I'm certain the character's name is Eros. Absolutely positive. You could always switch it for him, I guess? Anyway, back to the main point. I think I want this one for Kindle. So if the elves want to avoid hunting for some of these books a gift card will work. You're pulling your beard again...
This one sounds really cute and it's another that I think would be best picked up for Kindle. You *did* buy Mrs. Claus a Kindle, right? It's gotta be very boring waiting all night for you to get back, you know. Maybe you should grab this for her, too. It looks like something that could keep her busy while you're out doing the toy delivery thing. Just an idea.
Yes, Santa. I'm still here. The list is still going. You still awake? Good. Who doesn't love a story with an interesting and original idea. Touch looks like it has that going for it and more. (Another you might want to put on that Kindle I suggested for Mrs. Claus. Or perhaps she'd prefer a Nook?) Either way, I'm 98% positive that she likes things that are out of the ordinary and there's definitely some interesting stuff going on here. Worth a try.
Last one. I promise. No! Seriously. This really is the last one. Maybe ten books were a few too many? Anyway, I've wanted to get this one ever since I heard about it. I was going to get a physical copy but now I see that there is a version for Kindle and still no simple way to get the actual thing here in Canada. So yes, once again my Kindle needs some love. Oh, by the way, if you use my suggestion for Mrs. Claus I recommend getting the touch. The 5 way thing on my model might be hard for her to see.
Anyway, Santa, I think that covers it. I don't expect to get every book on this list, but I think I've done a decent job of giving you a wide variety to choose from. If the whole thing makes your head ache, you can do the gift card thing instead. No, really. I won't be offended. Anyway, I'm sure you have lots of other letters to so I will end this one here.
Have a safe and happy flight!
Until next year,

I am struggling for daylight here! It is impossible to photograph things at this time of year. I have tried but I'm afraid the results are pretty hopeless. This is a tote bag I have just finished, it's a gift for my mum's birthday (she has probably forgotten asking me to make her a new shopping bag as it was a LONG time ago- bad Sally!).
The colours look really odd here, especially the reds. But I basically selected mainly darker prints (mostly Liberty and Denyse Schmidt) and made 12 4.5" (finished) blocks for each side.
I then quilted and interfaced the panels, joined them together rounding the corners and added these lovely handles.
I then added a lining and bound the top edge like a quilt. I am really pleased with how it turned out... I might have to make one for myself too!

Industry 4.0 is making its mark on many companies. We spoke to someone who works on the topic every day: Gerhard Baum, Chief Digital Officer at Schaeffler AG. Schaeffler is a globally-active German automotive and industrial supplier with around 85,000 staff and 170 sites in more than 50 countries. Its headquarters are in Bavaria. The company has started its own digitization offensive, with the development of intelligent products playing a key role. After all, acquiring data is not an end in itself – the data also needs to be interpreted correctly and turned into action. In October last year, Schaeffler entered into a strategic partnership with IBM.
Gerhard Baum, Chief Digital Officer, Schaeffler AG
Everybody is talking about Industry 4.0 – but how does digitization affect your sector?
Industry 4.0 means the intelligent networking of production, logistics, customers and suppliers. Schaeffler sees digitalization as one of the key topics of the future. One of the core goals is to link the physical and digital worlds together in order to increase value creation. Internally, people, machinery, buildings, production sites, logistics and much more are networked and digital twins created. In order to generate added value for the company and our customers, existing business models are being expanded and new digital business models developed and implemented.
Which benefits do you promise your customers from using digital production processes?
Schaeffler, as a supplier, wants to actively shape digital production processes for its customers. With a team of more than 1,200 staff, we are constantly developing production technologies to achieve greater efficiency and higher quality. Our production system is implemented in more than 70 plants worldwide.
Production today is being constantly further developed by digitally-supported people and networked machinery. Schaeffler will use this to further expand its leading role in the production and supply chain environment and to make this expertise available to the market. Digitization enables us to optimise product quality even further and deliver even more reliably to our internal and external customers.
The Machine Tool 4.0 at the Schaeffler plant in Höchstadt: Cognitive technologies from IBM help to develop Schaeffler's Industry 4.0 strategy for machine tools further.
The terms big data and Internet of Things (IoT) play an important role for Industry 4.0, which is the reason for the strategic partnership with IBM Watson. Which specific target are you pursuing with this?
As a technology supplier, consultant and development partner for a digital ecosystem, IBM is supporting Schaeffler in integrating its mechatronic components, systems and machinery into the rapidly-growing Internet of Things (IoT) and developing new business models based on digital services to market maturity. Our first milestone was the establishment of a digital platform, which has hosted all Schaeffler's data-based services since October 2016.
How does close proximity to IBM's international Watson IoT headquarters help you reach your goal?
We can only be successful in digitization if we work together not with just one partner, but with a whole system of partners. The ecosystem is the key. IBM is currently establishing an ecosystem like this with its research centre on the Internet of Things in Munich. The proximity of our headquarters in Herzogenaurach to Munich of course also gives us the advantage that consultation can take place at our own premises or at IBM.
You have also been collaborating on the innovation project "Machine Tool 4.0" with another partners since 2015. What have you been able to learn from the project so far and what progress have you made in this time?
With Machine Tool 4.0, Schaeffler shows that Industry 4.0 is not an abstract vision but is already helping to increase efficiency in our own value creation today. In the production environment, not only are machinery and material flows linked within the Schaeffler plants, but the individual plants are also linked along the entire supply chain. Schaeffler plans to optimise existing processes and procedures digitally, create new service-oriented processes and consistently promote digital interaction between people and IT systems. A clear goal is the constant optimisation of production and the supply chain. Machine Tool 4.0 was the first time that many Industry 4.0 technologies had been used in industrial series production at Schaeffler. During the installation of the machine tool, for example, digital connectors were developed that serve as prototypes for integrating further machines in the Schaeffler production group. All in all, it has become clear that the topics of data standardisation and interface description are very important and must be taken seriously. They are the difference between success and failure.
The interview with Mr Baum clearly showed how cooperation is driving innovation forward at Schaeffler. Bavaria already has a top-class cluster for the Internet of Things in particular. Companies like Google and Microsoft also invested heavily in Bavaria last year, moving their development centre and German headquarters to larger premises. Those considering setting up a site in Bavaria can contact Invest in Bavaria. The Business Promotion Agency of the state of Bavaria offers free and confidential support.

Follow my blog with Bloglovin Even though I've been on an on & off writers block, I still managed to post almost the same way I did before. So I decided to tell you my secret on how I find topics that I actually feel like writing. It might be quite obvious to some of you but, keeping lists is the best way to remember things.
I keep my 'blog posts to write' list on my phone since I always have it on me, whenever I have a new idea I just write it down. I also always read 'blog post idea' posts, because even though there might be a list of 50 post names, only a couple will fit my blog.
Whenever I feel like writing a post, but don't know what to write about I take a look at my list - I always find something that fits my mood or gives me inspiration for a similar post
If you feel like you really don't have anything to write about but still want to post, you can make a wish list, do a Q&A or make a list (example: books I want to read), etc.
How do you come up with blog post ideas?

UK web users at risk of cyber attack from criminals in Eastern Europe
UK WEB users are at risk of a serious cyber attack which has already allowed criminals in Eastern Europe to steal millions of pounds.
A "malicious" piece of software has allowed thieves to steal money from individuals and businesses around the world.
Britain's National Crime Agency (NCA) has urged members of the public to be vigilant and not to open documents or clink on links in emails if they are uncertain of its origin.
Mike Hulett, Head of Operations at the NCA's National Cyber Crime Unit (NCCU) said: "This is a particularly virulent form of malware and we have been working with our international law enforcement partners, as well as key partners from industry, to mitigate the damage it causes.
"Our investigation is ongoing and we expect further arrests to made."
"Our investigation is ongoing and we expect further arrests to made"Mike Hulett from the NCA
Executive Assistant Director Robert Anderson from the FBI said: "Those who commit cyber crime are very often highly-skilled and can be operating from different countries and continents.
"They can and will deploy new malware and we, along with our partners, are alive to this threat and are constantly devising new approaches to tackle cyber crime.
"We urge all internet users to take action and update your operating system.
"Ensure you have up to date security software and think twice before clicking on links or attachments in unsolicited emails."
"Cyber criminals often reach across international borders, but this operation demonstrates our determination to shut them down no matter where they are.
"The criminal charges announced today would not have been possible without the cooperation of our partners in international law enforcement and private sector.
"We continue to strengthen those relationships and find innovative ways to counter cyber criminals."
The NCA, along with the FBI and several other UK and international law enforcement agencies, are working to counter the criminal network.
At least one "significant person" has been arrested with more expected.
Concerned Internet users are urged to update or install anti-virus software on their devices to protect themselves from the Dridex malware, also known as Bugat and Cridex.

Flintshire County Council has started a public consultation on the Integrated Network Map and Schedule, which is a 15-year vision to improve infrastructure for walkers and cyclists across the County.
The Integrated Network Map relates to the Welsh Government's Active Travel Act, which aims to encourage people to walk or cycle for short journeys to work, school and college or to access health, leisure or other services.
The consultation, from 3 July to 24 September 2017, is an opportunity for the public to have their say on the proposals set out on the Integrated Network Map. You can respond to these consultation proposals by emailing email@example.com
The proposals are a mixture of provision for walking, cycling and shared use facilities and are set out on Settlement Maps. There is also a schedule, which outlines the measures proposed.
Responses to the consultation will be considered and the maps amended where appropriate. A Consultation Report will be published and the Integrated Network Map will be submitted to Welsh Government for approval in November.

Jiminy Cricket and a live-action cast tell two tales
The first concerns Bongo the bear, who escapes from his cruel circus owners into the wild. Unfortunately the young bear finds the outside world a scary place and starts to wonder over his decision. Until he sees the lovely Lulubelle and falls in love. However, having never learnt the etiquette of his kind, he feels utterly rejected when she slaps him, which to a bear, is a show of affection.
The narrative then tells of a once beautiful land, laid to ruin after the magic singing harp that kept it alive was stolen by a giant. Three poor, desolate farmers: Mickey, Goofy and Donald, are forced to sell their cow for magic beans. After the night has passed, they find themselves at the top of a immense beanstalk, in the giants kingdom.

According to some sources, this film marked the last time Walt Disneys provided the voice for Mickey in a feature length film. Disney does contribute a few lines of dialog, but had ultimately been replaced at this point by James MacDonald, who would continue doing the voice until Wayne Allwine took over the role in 1977. Disney would, however, continue to voice the mouse for the introductions to the television series "The Mickey Mouse Club" in the Fifties.
The two shorts that comprise the majority of the films running time have both been released as separated entities from each other
For the Mickey and the Beanstalk segment. One version was re-dubbed over by Disneys popular edutainment character, Ludwig Von Drake (voiced by Paul Frees). In another version, the narration was done Sterling Holloway.

Fire in the TROX Anholt factory – Probably due to flying sparks
A fire in the TROX factory in Anholt, Germany, could easily have got out of hand. But, luckily, the TROX production workers and the local fire brigade prevented a disaster. Late on Tuesday evening, at 9.50pm, a fire started in one of the booths where multileaf dampers are manually coated with zinc to protect them from corrosion; the fire was probably caused by sparks flying off. The workers on the production line immediately started battling the fire with fire extinguishers, thereby preventing it from spreading further.The fire brigade from nearby Isselburg town arrived at the site only ten minutes later, at 10pm, and was able to extinguish the fire completely. To be on the safe side, three TROX employees were taken to the local hospital. According to the emergency doctor they showed signs of irritation of the respiratory system that had probably been caused by the dry powder from the fire extinguishers.'Yet the night shift could start as planned in the areas adjacent to the affected production line. The line where the fire started is not yet in operation, but we are working to clean up the space and expect it to be functioning again very soon', says Dieter Becker, Head of Production in Anholt.Press Release

Organizers: Stephen Paddison (University of Tennessee, Knoxville).
Relating atomistic structure, molecular architecture, and materials properties is an important and central goal in both hard and soft materials science. This endeavor includes correlating standard properties of the bulk materials and surface and interface aspects and also the relationship between structure and function in nano-dimensioned objects and molecular assemblies. Computer based modeling and simulation plays an important role in understanding materials properties on the diverse length and corresponding time scales, i.e. ranging from electronic (subatomic) to macroscopic. Multiscale modeling seeks to either simultaneously or sequentially model the different length scales (i.e., from Å to mm) efficiently and seamlessly.
This symposium will provide a forum to present recent progress in both the application and development of various modeling and simulation techniques to elucidate how local molecular, nanoscale, and larger mesoscale aspects determine the nature and energetics of ion transfer and transport in various materials. Specifically research into materials including: (a) ion containing polymers; (b) metal oxides; (c) composite materials; and (d) mixed conductors. Contributions on the effects of: density and distribution of fixed and/or mobile ions, confinement, and interfaces on conductivity are also sought. Applications will include electrolytes and electrodes for energy conversion and storage.
Abstracts are solicited in, but not necessarily limited to, the following areas:
In this Symposium are also welcome those contributions which cover the topics beyond the above-described areas. This is done to provide the audience with a comprehensive description of Solid State Ionics. If your contribution is difficult to host within the above areas, please do not hesitate to contact directly the Conference Chairmen at email@example.com for advice.

During my scientific career, I have remained extremely curious about how the Earth works, with a particular fascination for the dynamics of deformation, melting, and phase transformations in scenarios ranging from mantle flow, melting, and melt migration beneath ridges, hotspots, and arcs, to hydrothermal flow and reactions at ridges and trenches, to carbon sequestration-related fluid flow and reactions in terrestrial and subseafloor environments. I started by working on geodynamic models of mid-ocean ridge processes linked to the genesis of oceanic crust and uppermost mantle. This work also involved collecting new observations with marine geophysical techniques, and led me to spend almost two years of my life on deepwater research expeditions. In the 1990s I started to explore how ridge processes are linked to larger scale mantle flow, work that led me to try to build quantitative geochemical models for the evolution of Earth's mantle as a byproduct of plume, ridge, arc, and hydrosphere processes. This led me to start focussed work on plume-ridge and plume-lithosphere interactions, and study of the potential dynamics of a plume-fed asthenosphere that has continued to the present. In the 2000s I also started to work on subduction zone dynamics, in particular to study of the processes associated with plate bending and unbending, and, more recently, with the subduction channel that forms the plate interface region responsible for the generation of large earthquakes - and more! In the past 5 years, I have become heavily involved in the development of a better parallel-computing toolbox to model 3D Earth systems that involve highly non-linear interactions between the processes of deformation, fluid flow, and chemical reactions/transformations. This work has finally led to a set of much easier-to-customize code-tools written in parallel MATLAB/MPI that I expect will be a platform for many future projects that explore the fascinating dynamics of our planet.

I recently experienced opposite ends of the spectrum on procuring tasty foodstuff in the DC area. Not from a restaurant, but from a market or grocery store where you can pick up something that calls for finishing/easy cooking at home.
The worst is first: literally the wurst. The shortrib franks at Glenn's Garden Market on 20th above S St, NW are $13 for ten franks. I tried two ways to heat these things: once in a microwave and once in a pan. Either way, the texture is like clumps of sawdust and lacking in flavor. I had visions of the great shortrib franks at Lyon Hall, but these are inedible. I tried a couple and threw the rest away.
After years of misplaced hope that Safeway can actually do something right, I have to say that their unorthodox samosas are a shining light. They use a beet-tomato tortilla as a wrap and are stuffed with vegetables bursting with flavor. I avoid samosas at most restaurants because they are too doughy and the filling indifferent. These are fresh tasting, crispy, and light.
If you could name a recent success and/or failure at procuring good food, please list it here!

text: The Coniston fells form a separate geographical unit. They are almost entirely severed from the adjacent mountains by the Duddon and Brathay valleys. The best known and highest, by only a few metres, is the Old Man. A walk should take in some of the other fells in the range – perhaps Dow Crag to the west, or Swirl How to the north and then onto the huge whaleback fell Wetherlam. The western slopes of the Coniston range are comparatively dull and the appeal of these fells lie in their eastern-facing slopes leading down to Coniston Water and the village. The fells have been scarred by copper mining and quarrying. The most popular Coniston Old Man walk starts from the village of Coniston and ascends via the Miners' Bridge and Low Water, where man's exploitation of the mountain's riches can be seen at first hand. To avoid the crowds it is worth considering the route up along Walna Scar Road and then by the shores of Goat Tarn beneath the cliffs of Dow Crag and the steep ascent to Goat's Hawse. Alternatively, there is Wainwright's preferred route via Boo Tarn and Bursting Stone Quarry. The summit provides fine views of Morecambe Bay to the south, isolated Black Combe to the south-west, and on clear days, the Isle of Man and the Pennines. By far the most appealing views are to the north where the vast panoply of the Lakeland fells is spread before you. These impressive views, as well as the route up from Low Water, can continue to be enjoyed by taking the broad ridge to Swirl How, the geographical centre of the Coniston fells. It is just over a mile onto Wetherlam, via the wonderfully named Prison Band, with a detour to Black Sails en-route if you are peak bagging (not a Wainwright).

Selected readings on US charter schools
The U.S. Department of Education announced today that its Office for Civil Rights has entered into an agreement with Virtual Community School of Ohio to ensure compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act for students with disabilities at the school. This first-of-its-kind resolution promises equal access to educational opportunities for students with disabilities in virtual charter schools.
Virtual Community School of Ohio is an Internet-based, public charter school that serves approximately 1,200 students who reside throughout the state of Ohio.
"Students with disabilities who attend online public charter schools are entitled to all the protections of the federal civil rights laws that their peers receive at traditional public schools, including the right to receive a free appropriate education. Online schools also must take steps to ensure that the websites and online classrooms they use to promote their services and to educate students are accessible to individuals with disabilities," said Catherine E. Lhamon, Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights. "Online education environments such as this in which students reside across the state and go to school together in a totally on-line environment, may present unique challenges. Nevertheless, these online schools must comply with the civil rights laws. I commend Virtual Community School of Ohio for agreeing to address these issues as part of its agreement with OCR."
OCR initiated a compliance review in 2011 to assess whether the school discriminates against students with disabilities by failing to ensure that they receive a free appropriate public education (FAPE). OCR also examined whether individuals with disabilities are provided an equal opportunity to access the school's website and on-line learning environment.
OCR's investigation identified compliance problems with the evaluation and placement procedures used by the school to identify students with disabilities under Section 504 and to determine their individual education needs and the services necessary to provide them an appropriate education.
OCR also found that the school did not provide procedural safeguards for students with disabilities relating to identification, evaluation and placement under Section 504; did not publish contact information for the employee designated to coordinate its efforts to comply with Section 504 and Title II; and did not adopt and publish disability grievance procedures, as required under Section 504 and Title II.
The office also determined that the school utilized a website and an on-line learning environment that are not accessible to individuals with disabilities, particularly those who are blind, have low vision, or have other disabilities, such as learning disabilities that substantially limit their ability to access printed materials.
Under the agreement, the school committed to take specific actions to ensure that it is providing a FAPE to students with disabilities, as well as an equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities to participate in the school's web-based education program. The agreement provides that the school will:
OCR will closely monitor the school's implementation of the agreement.

If you don't know your closet tracker from your bond fund, here's a back-to-basics guide to common financial terms and phrases used in investments.
Back to top
Annie Shaw
/ 23 October 2015
If you don't know your closet tracker from your bond fund, here's a back-to-basics guide to common financial terms and phrases used in investments.
Beat the jargon with our beginners guide to investing
From builders to dentists, every profession uses its own expressions or language within its world. Fair enough, but it can be baffling if you don't know what they mean.
Simple language is best, but when it comes to investing, it's hard to avoid some words and labels in constant use across the board.
So just follow our handy guide to some of the financial terms you may come across if you're thinking about investing some money, or currently managing existing – but confusing – holdings.
If stocks and shares are not your thing, read about some fun alternative investments.
These are basically financial stakes in a company, also sometimes called equities. When you buy a stock or share – they are the same thing – you become a part-owner of the company, along with all the other investors. As you acquire more stock, your ownership stake in the company becomes greater. Rather than buying individual shares, which can work out to be both expensive and impractical for the small investor, many people prefer to invest in funds.
When companies or governments need to raise money they issue bonds, which are basically IOUs. In exchange for your money, the bond issuer typically promises to pay a fixed amount of interest on a regular basis until the end of the agreed term. UK Government bonds are called Gilts, while those issued by companies are known as corporate bonds.
Bonds are generally considered a less risky investment than shares (unless, of course, the company or government goes bankrupt or cannot repay the loan). Many bonds can be traded, so you don't necessarily have to hold them until the end of their term but can sell them to other investors.
The interest rate on a bond is known as the coupon, a legacy of clipping off part of the bond certificate when each interest payment was made.
If the interest rate is good, expect to pay more than the face value of the bond (known as par) for the privilege of acquiring the income stream.
Read Annie Shaw's guide to investment mistakes.
This is pooled money from a range of investors held as a single collective investment and managed by an expert. If you're looking at investing in a fund, the words get tougher! You may well not need these as a beginner, but just so you know, funds come in a few different forms:
How much risk you are prepared to take will be key to where you place your money. Risk is closely related to reward, with riskier investments bringing the chance of greater profits, but also the possibility of greater losses if things go badly.
An individual's risk profile can be tricky to determine because people's attitude can change over time and in different circumstances. Financial advisers use questionnaires and tools to determine their clients' attitude and you can find examples on the internet.
The key test for someone who says they are happy to take risk in the hope of greater reward is how they feel if the value of their investments falls. If they do anything other than take a market fall in their stride, then they are probably a more cautious investor than they have been letting on.
The other side of attitude to risk is tolerance for risk. People of limited means or who have dependants are, unsurprisingly, less likely to be able to stand losses than their wealthier neighbours without their standard of living being seriously affected. Even when people feel confident about having an adventurous investment strategy, an adviser may suggest a more cautious path.
This is the foundation stone of your investment strategy. Your risk profile will determine what proportion of your money you are prepared to devote to each asset class – shares, fixed interest, cash and other investments. The proportions you choose will also depend on your investment goals and your time frame.
The act of spreading investments across a range of assets to suit the investor's risk profile. Essentially it means 'don't put all your eggs in one basket', and is a vital part of asset allocation.
You should regularly re-examine your attitude to risk, your goals and the performance of your investments so far. You may find that if some of your investments have done particularly well, your asset allocation needs adjusting.
Let's say you have invested in overseas shares that have done very well; you may find that they now make up a bigger proportion of your portfolio than your risk profile suggests is wise, leaving you exposed to big losses should the market fall. Bank some profits and move some of the money into a lower-risk area.

This powerful short animation was created by Joost Jansen, a film-maker from Belgium.
Just 60 seconds long, it is part of an imaginative project marking the centenary of the First World War. 12 Minutes About Peace, a collection of 12 one-minute animated shorts on the theme of peace. They were made by both emerging as well as established talents in Flemish animation.
See Also:
888,246 Ceramic Poppies – Tower Of London, WWI Memorial [Video]
Daddy What Did YOU Do In The Great War? (Animation) [Video}
This film was inspired by the following ideas:
'A soldier goes to the front during World War I, whose horrors make him realise that the enemy is actually war itself.
The testimony of this soldier stands as a methaphor for the terrible cruelty of war and the desire for peace.'
The Project
Peace was chosen as a theme in order to encourage contemporary perspectives and also to accentuate the positive, rather than focus exclusively on the negatives of war. Nevertheless, animators were allowed to address the theme in the way they wanted and with a free choice in form and technique. Films could benarrative or abstract, with or without dialogue, and draw on the widest range of animation styles. However, each film could only be one minute in length[More Information: Joost Jansen ]

Mar 7, 2012Just as Eufloria impressed us with its incorporation of naturalistic aspects into an RTS shell, Waking Mars has built its science fiction adventure around creating and cultivating plant life to reinvigorate the fourth rock from the sun.
Mar 5, 2012Waking Mars is a smart, well-crafted game whose smart complexity means it won't appeal to everyone.
Mar 1, 2012Captivating, elegant, and fiendishly clever, Waking Mars delivers a science-fiction epic that's a delight to explore, and rewarding to play.
Games Master UKJun 25, 2012The detail is astounding. [Aug 2012, p.86]
Apr 21, 2012Despite some shadows and a not-so-deep game mechanic, Waking Mars is an amazing adventure game, with great atmosphere and wonderful sound design. A top notch experience from the developers behind Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor.
Apr 11, 2012Even with this failing, there is still a lot going for this game. The game is still a joy to play. The controls are intuitive while the graphics and music combine to form a claustrophobic, lonely atmosphere. In addition, the narrative is intriguing enough to keep you playing. Who would have thought that horticulture would be this much fun? Waking Mars is a game worth playing for its immersive and refreshing gameplay.
Mar 21, 2012There's corny dialogue, and you'll probably get stuck several times, but Waking Mars' positives far outweigh its negatives, making it a cool space exploration game to have on the go.

Nov 19, 2012Waking Mars ends up feeling too long for the number of mechanics included, and without an excellent story to carry it, its shortcomings stand out more and more as the levels go on.
May 9, 2012Waking Mars is an original take on the puzzle game genre, where you will be required to regulate and create a balance in ecosystems. The atmosphere and Retina-friendly visuals are superb, and the concept an innovative one. Too bad the characters clearly lack charisma and the mechanics are sometime frustrating.
Mar 29, 2012Waking Mars is more of an experience than a challenging game. If you are setting yourself up for an adventure after reading rave reviews at other sites, and the App Store you might be in for a disappointment. I know I was, as I actually got a bit bored.
Mar 1, 2012If you are looking for a relaxing adventure title with a distinct mood, Waking Mars will scratch that itch you've had since finishing Ghost Trick and Sword & Sorcery. Just take my advice and shut the game off once you start getting frustrated, because things don't get any better after that point (including the uneventful endgame).

The life forms are portrayed as several individuals in a complex ecosystem, a feature that I particularly note for it's creativeness. I feel like this game could be used to engage students in biology classes, at least in the respect that it would give them a (rough) idea of how lifeforms arise and how evolution provides a process for competing organisms to arise, which in turn creates ecological balance. I also feel that it provides a nice counter-point to standard sci-fi video game and movie fare which generally seems to portray nature as a violent, mystical, inexplicable and seemingly always opposed to the existence of man.
If you are looking for a unique experience amongst the myriad of (often mediocre) independent video games produced for the iOS and Android operating systems I would give this game a try. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.… Full Review »

X-Men Origins: Cyclops Prt. 5
Prt. 4: Toad
- May 15, 2009 04:40 AM (GMT)
Cyclops and Mystique stood ready for an attack. Mystique then got ready to pull the trigger of the gun. Cyclops shot out an optic blast, and Mystique got blasted back through a door. She got to her feet, but ran to hide in the shadows. Cyclops ran to find her, and started looking in every direction. Walking around looking for Mystique, something came from up above. Mystique jumped from the ceiling up above, and kicked Cyclops back on a wall. Cyclops tried to get up, but he was knocked back down. Mystique unloaded a series of kicked onto Cyclops. Cyclops finally grabbed one of Mystique's legs, and threw her back on the ground.
Mystique jumped up, but Cyclops blasted her back onto a wall. Mystique started climbing on a pipe into darkness. Cyclops slowly got to his feet. He started to make his way through a long hall. Trying to get back with the group. He found an experimental lab. On the other end of the lab was a large wall of glass leading off of a cliff into the ocean. Cyclops started walking through the lab, but he heard something behind him. Something fall on the ground. Cyclops spun around, and saw Mystique holding a gun. She shot out, but Cyclops jumped over an experimental lab table. Taking cover behind the table, Cyclops started think quickly of a way to stop Mystique.
Gun shots rang out. Cyclops crawled away to get to a better cover. Mystique jumped on top of a lab table, and leaped through the air firing the gun. Cyclops rolled underneath a metal table. Mystique leaped on top of the table, and was about to shoot through the table. Cyclops blasted the table through the air, and Mystique hit the ground. She tried to reach for the gun, but Cyclops shot another blast at her, and she went through the wall of glass, and into the ocean below. Cyclops pushed himself off the ground. He started to run through the base. Trying to find the rest of his team, he finally caught back up with them. Cyclops gave them the orders to retreat, and get out of there. Before they could all leave, he was told that Toad was setting up explosives to detonate the entire base.
Cyclops told them to get out of there as fast as possible. Running through the base toward the exit something came out. The Toad jumped off from the ceiling, and stabbed Storm in the stomach with a knife. Cyclops roared out no, but the Toad leaped through the air, and knocked both of them down an elevator shaft. They both hit the elevator, and Cyclops tried to get up, but his legs were kicked out from under him. Toad then broke into the elevator, and stopped it, and ran out of it. Cyclops then followed behind him. He then saw him with a metal pipe in his hands. Toad was smiling, as he saw Scott in pain from the fall, and from his fight with Mystique.
"Well well well, look at Mr. Boy Scout himself" - Toad
"Why? Why are you doing this?" - Cyclops
"Human are pathetic. You are pathetic for protecting them, and you attacked Mystique. What will I tell my leader. Hmm that are little shapesifter fell into the ocean, and decided to take a swim. I don't know if she is even alive!" - Toad
"Well I won't give you the chance to talk to Magneto!" - Cyclops
"How much time do you have left before this whole place goes up in flames?" - Toad
"As much time as it takes to blow your damn head off!" - Cyclops
"Bring it!" - Toad
Toad jumped onto the ceiling with the metal pipe, and crawled into the darkness. Scott now as to find Toad, and stop him for good.

Last week I met with all high school teachers who teach my children. There are many reasons why I wanted to meet them but the primary reason was to show my children I am invested in their education and that I will advocate relentlessly for them in times of need. I leave the day-to-day business of communication and problem solving with my children and only step in if they have exhausted all means to resolve matters on their own with no success. One of the secondary reasons I meet with teachers is to get to know the individuals who spend much of the day with my children. Teachers tend to use these meetings to discuss academic status, challenges, and strengths….which is good stuff on its own…but I personally come away knowing a little more about the teacher as a person….the benefit here is when I discuss school with my children I get to utilize the connections I have made with teachers to better assist needs that pop up at home.
If you're unable to make it in to your child's school have an advocate, a friend, or other family member make the connection on your behalf.
Keep it real Folks and happy connecting!


text: Max 7 Posted April 11, 2017 Hey guys! I decided to host my first fun run! The track will be Anaheim 2015 FS1. We will be using .4. Rules: Qualifying: Hitting the middle ramp won't result in a penalty as hitting in the first place is penalty enough. If you cut the track, however, there will be a 5 second penalty added to your time. Timing will start as soon as your tires move. Racing: Once you and your opponent give me "R" or "Ready" I will put "GO" in the chat. If you fail to go when that happens there will be no redo. If I cannot decide who won, I will look back at the screenshot. If I cannot decide who won, then I will call for a redo. No redos will be allowed if you make a mistake. There will be qualifying, only to determine the bracket. Anyone who qualifies will be able to participate in the racing bracket. Freestyle: There will be a full 2 minute clock for freestyle. Be realistic! If you do an unrealistic move, an RII will be called and the move will not be counted as part of your performance. Scoring will be out of 40, and once your freestyle is finished, you will be asked to leave the server once you've received your score. No hacksaves. If you do a hacksave, it will be an automatic done, no exceptions. Here is the sign up format: Name: Discord: Truck: Truck Link: Maximum amount of competitors will be 16. If we surpass that number, the rest who sign up after sign up #16 will be back-ups for the Fun Run! Server will be provided by Jon Cannon for the Fun Run! Here is the link to the truck that I will be using for the event: Track Link: Remember, this is a Fun Run. No arguments, no being mean to each other. I'll let good-natured barbs slide. Discord Link: https://discord.gg/n6rR76S The event will occur on April 15th. Qualifying will open at 5:00 PM EST and close at 6:00 PM EST! The Fun Run will start at 6:15 PM EST!

It's time to get back to your childhood roots, quite literally, beginning with your locks. The S/S '16 runway report is looking equal parts sweet and sassy on the beauty front, and it's filled with ponies and pigtails to make your inner kid squeal — if only for the ease of execution. You already mastered most of these simple hairstyles in grade school, which means you'll spend less time in front of the mirror primping and more time actually out enjoying that long-awaited spring sunshine.
Lead the pack with these mirrored hairstyles and you'll be the spring style envy of everyone around you.
4 Easy, On-trend Hairstyles
Low pigtails gave the straight strand and middle part trends we've seen for the past few seasons new and sophisticated life, without teetering too far into babydoll status. Marni dressed up their smooth styles with tiara headbands, and at Mui Mui it was all about two sleek pull-through ponies accentuated with some statement earrings.
These two options are polished go-tos on mornings where you're running a little late or working with dirty hair. Simply split your tresses into symmetrical sections and grab two plastic bands for some catwalk-approved confidence.
Kristian Aadnevik had dual braids trimming the crown for a romantic half-up/half-down style, while the models at Giles rocked flirty Dutch plaits secured at the nape of the neck for a braid-meets-pony combo.
Both French and Dutch braids are having a revival moment, but the best part about these 'dos, is that a few hours in plaits and you'll be rewarded with wavy, lived-in locks for your night out or next morning. Two beauty looks with half the effort? Now we're talking convenience.
Things got topsy turvy at Paul Smith where stylists took a more intricate route to the trend, working pigtail segments into taut and glossy twists. This take was surely made with the warmer weather in mind, as it sweeps longer lengths up and off the neck for a cool respite. It can be quickly recreated by halving your pigtails and securing the twists with a couple of coordinated color bobby pins.
Each DIY-ready hairstyle is undeniably more stylish than the perky piggies chronicled in your old yearbooks. The only question is which duo are you most excited to try first?

A Wells Fargo home mortgage consultant and a Guarantee Real Estate agent are working together to help more Native Americans buy a home.
A little known Native American Home Loan Program, allows eligible borrowers to buy, refinance, rehabilitate or build a home, said Cameron Hubbard, a mortgage consultant at Wells Fargo.
The loan is guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Borrowers only need a minimum credit score of 600 and a 2.25% downpayment. There is no mortgage insurance and the borrower can take advantage of low Federal Housing Agency mortgage rates.
The program was created to help Native American borrowers buy land in tribal communities where it is often hard to get financing because the land is held in trust by the government, Hubbard said.
Borrowers in this program can use the loan to buy property anywhere in California. It is not restricted to tribal land.
For more information, call Hubbard at (559) 287-8086 or Guarantee Realtor Teresa Norman at (559) 213-2090.

As part of its ongoing research collaborations with leading tech innovators, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) will be working with Alcoa, the world's leading producer of primary aluminum, fabricated aluminum and alumina. The goal? To lower the cost of solar concentrators.
Current Concentrator Solar Power (CSP) systems make use of glass mirrors used to reflect and concentrate sunlight onto receivers that collect the solar energy and convert it to heat (which is then converted to electricity with the help of a steam turbine.) Instead of glass, Alcoa's mirrors are–of course–aluminum: highly-reflective aluminum surfaces that, according to a statement, are more durable and eco-friendly than fragile glass-based mirrors (presumably because they last longer).
The NREL and Alcoa recently installed a new CSP parabolic trough at NREL's test facility in Golden, Colorado, where it will undergo a series of tests to measure its efficiency and structural performance. The Alcoa CSP design leverages high volume manufacturing and assembly approaches used in the aerospace and automotive markets as well as the company's materials–all of which promise to lower the cost of CSP trough systems, bringing 'super solar' closer to commercial and residential applications in the near future.
