Nearly a month has gone by and a lot has happened. I don't really want to talk about it though. Don't know what I am doing here today. I have had a good month though. A really good month. Shame really that things have to get all fucked up.
I think that if you have really strong and positive recent memories, that they can be pretty damaging when something bad comes along, like a damp blur creeping in from the corners of a photograph. You (I?) start to take these memories and rewrite them and rewrite them until they become something that someone else has experienced and they seem aspirational somehow, you are asking yourself "why can't I live like that?" and you forget that you did live that, that was you, you were so happy.
I had an evening where I was left knowing nothing at all.
I wrote this some time ago, seems real;
Jennifer has been in love before maybe. She is not sure. She thinks of love as a house which you move into and live inside of. You and another person are both inside the house and it is your house together, you both know that and that makes it precious and something tangible like you can touch the walls and curtains and believe that it will stand forever. There are times when one of you leaves but the other is still inside and at those times it can be cold and lonely and claustrophobic and the light switches stop working and you do not know what to do. There are times when one of you returns after a period of time and the house feels perfect again. Perhaps Jennifer has not been in love because she has never been in the same house as someone else in that way. Jennifer thinks that maybe you can only really know if something is love if they are in love with you also, or at least they know what you are feeling, otherwise it is something else with a different and less attractive name but still important in spite of the loneliness.

The existing Chapel based facility is in an appalling state and needs considerable investment. Test Lane was one site being considered as part of the study and residents were advised by the Council in the interests of openness. However, it has now been ruled out as land at Dock Gate 20 was considered to be more suitable and better value for money. The land has been acquired from the private owners and development will likely take place by 2011.
Due to commercial confidentiality the Council was unable to discuss Dock Gate 20 before now. Now the deal has gone through I am delighted that Council can now reveal that Dock Gate 20 rather than Test Lane is the preferred site.
The decision is a victory for local Councillor Paul Holmes who has been campaigning hard on behalf of the Old Redbridge community.

I am running IWP on a FP Pro Advanced 12 database via my local intranet. I can access the database fine, and begin a script that is supposed to go to a layout that asks for a name and date, then searches for those items, and then goes to a layout that has a chart on it to show the data. The script stops before it goes to the chart layout.
The chart and all layouts are in "Classic" Theme, so that's not the problem. Obviously an error is occuring- because the script never leaves the layout before the chart. Obviously, it works fine from within FM12 - there is something that won't let it work on either IE or Firefox. I looked, and Java is enabled. This is on a Windows 7 Enterpise machine. I haven't tried it on my Mac at home - that's next.
Any ideas? TIA!

I was however overjoyed to see my fab friend Jen from Pinkerjen and who now works for Rubybox at the door.
Hipstyler, Pretty & Ginger (yes again , and no it's not intentional ...tee hee) as well as the lovely Laura Jane from Whimsy is Forever and I also met the lovely Naeema from 'The Jam Jar' this young lady has me in stitches with her effervescent personality ... Fahbulous!
Before the crowds set in I was advised by the lovely Robyn of RUBYBOX to take full advantage of the #BeautyNightOut treatments, first stop Mangwanani Spa ....ahhhhhhh!
my therapist absolutely spoilt me rotten with a neck and shoulder massage and I am positive she sensed the tension in my shoulders and the sighs of pleasure ( I had been moving our office for the two days prior) ... It was heaven.
Mangwanani Spa's here , and the fabulous concept behind this brand.
Next up was a manicure at the Sally Hansen hand stations , the lovely Fatima had to deal with my horrible dry skin , frayed nails and applying cracks from the move ... Fatima was super gracious and using her unique magic and the Sally Hansen products she managed to make my hands look presentable ... Such a 'God send and blessing'.
The crowds started to gather and so I moseyed on over to the table to choose my gifts with the RUBYBOX 'Build a box' ... Here are the fabulous treats I choose:
- Tropical hand cream from Peppertree
- Sally Hansen nude nail polish in ...
- RUBYBOX Smooch Stick in a natural/nude shade
- DR M. Hydra Serum
Also available were STILA to have make-overs done , I put my name down but the queues just became unbearable with over 45minute waits ...Blegh!
Dermalogica were also on hand to do Face Mapping and recommendations , I would've felt a fraud to take advantage of this considering I had a face mapping a few weeks before so I left it to those who hadn't yet had the amazing experience.
Overall I had fun , I loved the treatments I had and enjoyed the great company of friends. I did find the lack of seating disappointing and the snacks weren't much to speak of so I was ravenous when I got home.
If you have never experienced on of Rubyboxes #BeautyNightOut do spoil yourself next time , but get their early and go go go ...

____ft = 4 yd
34 oz = _____ lb
14 m = _____ cm
300 g = ______ kg
6 m ≈ ______ km
When temperature is measured in both Celsius (C) and Fahrenheit (F)
it is known that they are related by the following formula:
9 ´ C = (F 32) ´ 5. What is 50 degrees Fahrenheit in Celsius?
Suppose that one British pound is worth $1.50. In London a magazine
costs 3 pounds. In San Francisco the same magazine costs $4.25.
In which city is the magazine cheaper?
Begin each problem by identifying the units that are being converted to determine which table of measures to use to solve a given problem. There are three types of equivalents: customary to customary, metric to metric and customary to metric. On each table there are three types of measurements: length, capacity, and weight/mass. The table of measures will give unit equivalents. Customary measures are the measures we're used to seeing in the U.S. (i.e. inches, feet, miles, gallons, pounds, etc…). The common measures used for length are: inch (in.), foot (ft), yard (yd) and mile (mi). Normally, the ounce (oz), pound (lb) and ton (t) are used for units of weight. When measuring capacity, liquid/dry measure, the most common units are: fluid ounce (fl oz), cup (c), pint (pt), quart (qt) and gallon (gal). So, as table of measures comparing customary measures for length will have 1 yard = 3 feet, for example. Most countries of the world use the metric system and its measures. In this system, the meter (m), liter (L) and gram (g) are the basic units of length, capacity and mass. The metric system is designed using the powers of 10, as you will see when you look at a metric table of measures. Conversions can be made between customary and metric measures of length capacity and weight/mass by using a table that shows the relationships between customary and metric measurements. However, the equivalents between the measures are approximate. For example, 1mi ≈ 1.61 km.
When you use a table of measures to find equivalents to make conversions you will always multiply or divide. When you are converting from a smaller unit to a larger unit, you will always divide. When you are converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit, you will always multiply.
Relationships among units in the metric system are uniform. In this system, ten units always makes the next (larger) unit. For example, 10 cm = 1 dm. This makes conversions from one metric unit to another easy. You have two choices on how to solve these problems, either multiply or divide by 10 or a power of 10 or move from one place value to another. The table below shows the relationships between the metric measures. The measures on the left are the smallest, the right are largest. So, if your moving from left to right, you'll divide or change the place value by moving the decimal to the left. However, if you're moving from right to left, you'll multiply or change the place value by moving the decimal to the right.
basic unit
millimeter (mm)
centimeter (cm)
decimeter (dm)
meter (m)
dekameter (dam)
kilometer (km)
To use this table to convert milligrams to grams, you can see that you would move to 3 boxes to the right or divide by ten three times (10 x 10 x 10 = 1,000). So, to change from milligrams to grams you divide by 1,000. This would mean that 3,000 milligrams = 3 grams. Changing the place value is another way to solve this problem. To do this, you will move the decimal point. Remember, if you have a whole number without a decimal point, it is behind the last number (3,000 = 3,000.). Now, as stated earlier, to get from milligrams to grams you move 3 boxes to the right. Since milligrams are the smaller unit, you need to divide to find how many grams. Instead of dividing, you can move the decimal 3 spaces to the left, one space for each box. If you choose to use place value just remember to count your boxes moved. If you move to the right, you'll move the decimal to the left. If you move to the left, you'll move your decimal to the right. So, if I want to change 3,000 grams to centigrams, I move 2 boxes left. This will mean I move the decimal 2 places to the right. So, 3,000 g = 300,000 cg.
One easy and consistent way to solve all conversions is to use a proportion. To do this, you will need to set up a word ratio for the units you're comparing. For the problem, 54 inches = ____ feet. Your word ration would be in./feet. You would then use numbers from the table of measures and from the problem to write your proportion. The table of measures says that 12 in. = 1 ft. This equivalency should be used to write the first ratio of the proportion. It would look like, 12in/1ft. The information from the problem should be used to write the second ratio. It is important when writing the second ratio that you keep each unit of measure in the same place as it was for your word ratio and your first ratio. So, for this problem, it will be very important that you keep inches as your numerator and feet as your denominator. Also, you will use a variable, such as "n" for unknown terms. Your second ratio will then be, 54 in/"n" ft. The next step is to write the two ratios as a proportion (12/1 = 54/n). To solve a proportion you need to cross cancel opposite terms across the diagonal, as shown below.
12 = 54
1 n
12 x n = 1 x 54
12 n = 54
n = 54 † 12
n = 4.5
54 inches = 4.5 feet
When converting measures from different systems (i.e. miles to kilometers) you will see the ≈ symbol. This symbols means that equivalents are approximate. This is because the relationships between customary and metric measurements are one exactly equivalent for inches and centimeters. All other measures relationships are approximate.
For a more visual/kinesthetic approach, use a ruler, yardstick, or meter stick to make real world comparisons. To begin with, compare the inches on the ruler to the entire length of the ruler (most rulers are one foot in length). You can do the same thing for feet and inches in a yard stick. On a meter stick, you can compare millimeters to centimeters and both of these to the meter. You can have your child find commonplace objects around the house or on his/her arms and hands that are about the same length as a given unit. Some examples could be: a key is about one inch, when looking at the top of your fingernail sideways it's about a millimeter, etc… Flashcards can be made with the items found drawn on one side and the name of the approximate unit of measure on the other. The next step would be to make comparisons against objects. For example, you could find out how many keys fit in a one foot frame. This will help children get used to the idea of relating different measures. As you compare items, make sure to talk about if you'd need to divide or multiply to change into a given unit. Finally, many rulers have both customary and metric measures. Children can use this type of ruler to visually see the relationships between the different systems (i.e. centimeters and feet).
56 oz. = _____ lb.
______ t. = 2,500 lb.
3 mi = ______ ft
______ yd = 180 in.
9 c = ______ pt
2 qt = ______ c
168 oz = ______ lb
How many inches are in 7 ½ feet?
1,600 m = _____ km
2.4 L = ______ cL
11.25 kg = _____dag
2 L = _____ kL
50, 278 cm = ________ m
.2 g = ______ mg
450 m = ______ hm
2.3 m = _______ km
4 m ≈ ______ in.
12.7 cm = _______ in.
5.5 t ≈ _______T
6 gal ≈ _____ L
When converting gallons to liters, do you multiply or divide by 3.79? Explain your answer.
(Multiply, you're converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit.)
The formula to convert Celsius (C) and Fahrenheit (F) is
9 x C = (F - 32) x 5. Use this formula to find the temperature in Fahrenheit if it is 10 degrees Celsius.

What a week and what a month! September soared by, but we "gathered" a lot, so I feel I atleast touched my goal.
Goal for October. To be more Artistic. I am ready to unleash my creativity in many different ways. Painting, crafting, mix media class, parties, costumes, Blog look, Halloween.
I am EXCITED!_________________________
Other News: Laila informed my Dad-- her Grandpa Lye-- that he isn't that old. " Just remember how Old Noah was when he built the Ark!" This didn't necessarily make my dad feel better.
I raced up to Park City to sing the National Anthem and "I am Proud to Be an American" last Wednesday. It was for the Hospital Volunteers Organization of Utah. Many older volunteer type people filled the grand ballroom at the Marriott Hotel. I seriously, ridiculously forgot all about this until it popped up on my computer screen with a 15 minute advance notice. Talk about frantic. I had no music. I hadn't practiced. It hadn't crossed my mind. Good thing I had showered and dressed for the day or my franntic could have turned into an "I am sick, and I can't sing" experience. As it was, I flew out of my house, missed the I-80 exchange, which added to my hectic, drove like a crazy person until my mom called me and said the event wasn't going to start til 4. This helped me breathe easier. I showed up, like I had prepared all along. Sang acapella like I had planned to all along. And drove back down the mountain. The other upshot is.. I forgot all of my mom-after-school-driving responsibilities. Oh well...Laila was ticked, Dallas was left...and I get a second chance to make this right, this Wednesday.
I am enjoying thinking about and making my Friday Fave 5's........... Some lists are more difficult to whittle down than others, but it's a pretty good experience to put myself through each week. I am going to try and do it til the end of the year.

Air Pressure: Romance or Pain
It is recommended that you play the game here first before reading.
At first glance, Air Pressure seems like a fairly standard choose-your-own-adventure centered around your relationship with a girl named Leigh. The two of you have been together for several years now, and she's been close to your side the entire time. This particular day is the anniversary of when the two of you first met, but it seems as if you are unsure about how things are turning out in your life. A part of you believes that you were happier before meeting her, but another part can't imagine life without her. As you talk to her throughout your day, your choices determine how the relationship will continue. The next day, your relationship with her will either stay the same, get closer, or break apart. It seems like a simple relationship story, but then you notice something, something that appears to hint at a deeper meaning. In all three endings, she'll start to appear "glitched", with parts of her body flickering back and forth from existence. And in the "get closer" ending, you inevitably wake up in a hospital, with a nurse telling you that, "You're lucky this time. You didn't hit any nerves or arteries." Clearly there is something more to this story than a simple relationship.
Many players, including myself, believe that Leigh is not an actual person, but the personification of some sort of pain. The type of pain, however, varies on the player. Some people believe she is the personification of an addiction to drugs. Others believe her to be the personification of self-mutilation or harm. There is plenty of evidence to support both theories. For example, the second line of the game states that "From the second we met, she wrapped herself around my left arm, and has stuck there ever since." In the drug addiction theory, this would be a reference to the protagonist injecting his left arm with some sort of drug, and him continually doing so later on. In the self-mutilation theory, this would be a reference to a scar on his left arm caused from his first attempt. As the day progresses, many other hints are thrown around that could fit either theory. This includes the protagonist thinking his life was better before meeting her, his uncertainty surrounding whether or not he can survive without her, and his inability to be rid of her for good. But then there are clues that seem to only really fit one theory or the other.
One of these one-sided hints would be when the protagonist is talking to Leigh in town. He mentions that the noise of the crowd is giving him a headache. This by itself doesn't mean much, but he only gets this headache when he is trying to get away from Leigh. If he tries to walk away, but eventually stops and talks to Leigh, he comments how his headache is going away. For the drug addiction theory, this makes a lot of sense. It can be interpreted that the protagonist is trying to get away from the addiction, and is experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Headaches are typically among the common symptoms for withdrawal sufferers. When he gets the drug again, he no longer experiences the withdrawal symptoms. For the self-mutilation theory, this headache doesn't really fit.

My life's dreams are rooted in what I want to contribute to the world, my core values and what I am excited to accomplish. Although my dreams are considered to be rather large and ambitious; they are very simple. However, discovering my dreams took a lot of self-discovery, soul searching, and reflecting over the last seven years (plus my entire lifetime). But since this isn't a post on how to find your dreams, I'll leave it as that for now.
The journey of following my dreams has been thus far, both: the biggest struggle of my life, and the most amazing experience of my life. Of course, that is, what one should expect, right?!?! Well, the thing is, I somehow thought it would be much easier. After all, it was such hard work just to figure out my dreams…once I knew them, I just readily assumed following through would be a snap. But, I digress…
Anyway, if asked the question: "Ann, what did you come here to learn" My answer would be "To learn how to trust and to learn patience". I've known this for many years, but never really did anything about it, until I decided to follow my dreams and my calling as an entrepreneur.
I have entrusted my life into the hands of fellow Marines and never thought twice about it because I was entrusting my physical body, not my mind, heart, spirit, and ability to make or shatter my dreams. Okay, I'll give it to you, it's a little hard to follow your dreams if you're not alive and I don't mean to belittle the value of life…I want to make a distinction between the physical trust we give people like when we get into a vehicle or an airplane and we trust the driver/pilot to get us to our destination safely--compared to the trust we give someone when we fully expose ourselves, our dreams and vulnerabilities.
I had not, in my adult life, until now, placed my trust in anyone person. I never believed it was a safe or wise thing to do. Be it from my childhood or past experiences, I was programmed to always take care of my self, by myself and not rely on anyone for anything. I simply didn't fully trust anyone and nor was I willing to find out if I could…that is, until the road ahead for my dreams counted on it. I came to a head on collision with the decision to trust the people I needed to make my dreams come true or to prolong the process and potentially end up having to give up. Here was something I had been deadly afraid of all my life staring at me right in the face saying: "It's either you trust others explicitly and let go, or you forget all about your dreams and ambitions." Pretty intense huh?!?! I can still feel the shock wave it sent through my body as it sank in.
What did I do?? I took a nap!! I was so absolutely drained by the realization that I just had to lay down and then, when I woke up, I decided to stepped into the world of giving trust and letting go. It's one scary place, let me tell you, but it's also a very rewarding place. Here I am, finally doing the one thing I was never, ever, able to do before and knowing that it excites me, because I know it's bringing me closer to my dreams and being all that I am meant to be.
Patience is a whole other ball game...especially in a start-up business. My impatient ways cause me a great deal of unnecessary stress and disappointment. Being in a start-up is absolutely a waiting game. You do all you can, continuously and aggressively, but it still doesn't curtail the waiting and having to start over once you are done waiting and things didn't go your way.
I'm developing patience…while balancing not becoming complacent or too detached. Sometimes you want to throw the F-word around and lose your cool…and that's when I go to the gym. Being impatient and getting upset or angry never brings about anything worthwhile. This lesson I have to relearn everyday, if not, a few times a day.
I've gone through a lot since I've engaged myself head first, eyes wide open into the journey of following my dreams. I have felt more frustration, pain, heartbreak then ever before and it's pushing me out of every comfort zones I've ever had and requiring me to be more then I've ever been. That is the real power of dreams—they propel us to entirely new levels in every way.
This is also why you are never a failure when following your entrepreneurial dreams…because even if the venture itself were to fail, YOU will have IMPROVED and GROWN!!
Meet the Team, Follow Progress and Enjoy the Ride

The Real Power of Our Life's Dreams
My life's dreams are rooted in what I want to contribute to the world, my core values and what I am excited to accomplish. Although my dreams are considered to be rather large and ambitious; they are very simple. However, discovering my dreams took a lot of self-discovery, soul searching, and reflecting over the last seven years (plus my entire lifetime). But since this isn't a post on how to find your dreams, I'll leave it as that for now.

Hey Ann, it is good to see that following your dreams has allowed you to trust other people and develop more patience. Based on the size of Whygosolo and all it's potential, you'll have no choice but to continue to be tested. If we were starting a hotdog stand (nothing wrong with that business), we would be up and running no questions asked. But something this large (simply a concept as it may be) will take time to develop and for the right investor to come forward.
It is important to note that Ruth and I trust you as well. Otherwise, we would not be part of this pursuit. Keep plugging along and surrounding yourself with people worthy of your trust and all will work out.

Harrison and Chloe started school last week. It was the single greatest day of our lives.
It looks like they're doing something weird here, but that's only because they're doing something weird. The other day Harrison was playing the air violin and he looked ridiculous. So, naturally, I imitated him and turned it into our new favorite hilarious dance. They miss me so much.

Months have flew by, again. Just flew. Where did the time go? I feel like I have been holding my breath all this time. Have I just been frozen in time.... like the days have become? I am getting sick of this weather by the way. I miss the green in my Elsewhere.
A lot has happened...........................
Was I sacrificing myself for someone who wasnt worth my sorrow? Was I crying for someone who didnt deserve my tears? Was I always bleeding for someone who didnt want my blood? ....I was.....So much for living for someone who wasnt even living for themselves. It felt like all of my bones were broken...He was turning all of my dreams to dust. It was like, he didnt believe in the places I went to when I was sleeping or writing....It felt like he was devouring my soul.....Was Adam doing those things to me on purpose? Was he slowly trying to kill me or was he waiting for me to take my own life. He almost won. He almost had my blood on his hands. I almost did it. Almost went for a very cold, very dark swim. I cant believe I havent admitted that, until just now. Please dont judge me. Please dont hate me for almost making that choice. It is just easier to run.......I would have taken all that shame to my grave.
So much has changed over the past 9 months. I am no longer beaten down and bruised.
I had a strange journey down a path that I tucked into the back of my mind for almost a decade. I was lost. Screaming. He found me. Again. He pulled me into his arms on one dark spring night and held me. Close. I looked up into his eyes, the eyes I have always know...and I felt safe. He is real. I was shown the way to live. After all this time, I am able to sleep at night. The Dreams only plagued me every so often. Maybe I am not as broken as I always thought, or maybe I just was able to be fixed. I believe in the Elsewhere again. I believe that I am worth everything that Erich gives me. Why did I wait so long? Why couldnt I get off of my knees? Why couldnt I find the way to breathe sooner?? I am not perfect....but in His eyes, I am. He is the one that has always caught all of my tears. The reason has always been Him. But I was bound. Wrapped into something I never ever want to feel again.
I didnt replace anything if thats what you are wondering. There isnt a way to "replace" something that was always there. Nothing was able to keep us away from each other and thats all that matters. No one ever could take away what we have always had. I was just filling in the void when He wasnt able to wrap me into his world. It took so long. I waited for a long time. I cried, a lot. but just knowing that he will always be there when my next chapter begins....it is a feeling that I wish everyone can feel one day.
Satisfied. Happy. The first time I have felt alive.....in years.
And in only a few short months, I will be walking down an aisle to meet Him in matrimony...I am going to grant Him my body and soul.....I will take His last name and honor it with everything that I have inside of me.....I will give Him my vows that will last a lifetime. I should have done this years ago. But I find it absolutely amazing that we basically picked up right where we left off. He fell in love with me once......and then, 10 years later....He did it again. He woke me up. Saved me.
From myself.
And for that I owe Him my life.
I love you. Until the last beat of my heart.
Until next time,

Our lives are full of 'firsts'.
Our first day at school.
The first real friend we make.
The first time we fall in love.
Some we remember, like our first kiss, and some we don't (no one remembers what their first word was but we know it, thanks to our parents telling us), but they're all milestones that occur at some time or other in life.
Aunt Flo
One that happens to all females is the day their first period arrives. I had just turned 12 when I got mine (or as my friend still says, Aunt Flo came along). I'd started an all-girls secondary a few months earlier and there had been minimal, if any, chat about periods. There wasn't much among my classmates and PSHE had just about covered the basics. I discovered Aunt Flo had arrived when I went to the loo just before home time. Caught totally unprepared for this visitor, I stuffed some tissues in my knickers and just wanted to get home as quickly as possible.
Mum knows best
I met my mum on the way home from school. She was the first person I told and I'm so glad it was her. 'It's a good thing your period has come,' she said. 'It means your body is working the way it should do.'
I wasn't so sure the accompanying stomach and back ache were good things but having her react in the completely calm way she did made me feel everything was ok. We went home via the chemist so she could buy me some pads and showed me where she kept hers when we got home. The rest of the day carried on completely as it should, the rest of the world oblivious to a new first for me.
Upon reflection
That was 20 years ago now. Periods soon become a monthly occurrence that all females get used to, however annoying, inconvenient or damn painful they might be. As more of my classmates got their first period, it became a topic that was easier to discuss.
There's no wrong or right, no normal or abnormal. Some girls get their first at 9, some not until they're 16. Normal is whatever is normal for you.

An Interview with Chris Sun
Christopher Sun serves as an associate research analyst in CNA's Education Division. Sun has more than eight years of quantitative and qualitative analytical experience, as well as program management and facilitation expertise in the field of education. He has worked directly with education stakeholders at all levels, including state board of education members, state education agency staff, state and district superintendents, and school-level staff.
Q: What made you want to become a researcher?
A: Throughout my life, I have always had a natural curiosity to identify root causes of observations and behavior in measured and reliable ways. These curiosities coupled with the scientific method pointed me to research. I've spent much of my time as a researcher developing a variety of tools to be able to answer complex questions that couldn't be easily addressed through simple observation.
Q: Through your work, what is the most interesting/unexpected/important finding you have discovered?
A: I think most every research project that I have worked on has had at least one important moment. As you dig deeper into particular research areas, there are always a few key pieces of information that make you rethink the totality of the findings or see the findings in a different context. I vividly remember a moment a few years ago when I was examining a network of schools that were virtually sharing advanced math and science courses. The data alone told a very specific story where schools simply weren't partnering but there wasn't any glaring reason for why this was happening. However, we took a step back and began interviewing a few of the schools to see what was going on and the schools simply didn't have compatible school schedules during the day and the weather they experienced even a few miles away from each other was vastly different – leading to differing school closures during winter months. These kinds of moments always make me place an emphasis on context when examining any issue using outcomes data.
Q: What is your least favorite part of research?
A: For me, I think finding the right approach to a research study is always a challenge. Research continues to play a key role in the decisions of educators and policymakers across the country. However, the timelines for high-quality, rigorous research methods sometimes are too long for these stakeholders. I am encouraged by the use of some of the rigorous but expedited methods such as rapid-cycle evaluations. I think it gives stakeholders continuous feedback on progress of an initiative while continuing to work to longer-term goals of an evaluation.
Q: If you were not a researcher, what would you do for a living?
A: If I was not a researcher, I think I might be doing something in the healthcare field. Both of my parents come from that field and they use research every day to treat symptoms for illnesses that might not be easily explained or observed. Maybe that's why I had a proclivity for research in the first place, as well.

The Collateral Damage of Lebanese Sovereignty
by Jim Quilty of Middle East Report Online
Syrian officials and their allies in Lebanon label Fatah al-Islam as al-Qaeda operatives. It is not an imaginative accusation. Though Fatah al-Islam has denied any institutional links to al-Qaeda, the global Sunni militancy 'Absi advocates echoes that of al-Qaeda and Fatah al-Islam's statements have appeared on salafi websites. In a Reuters interview in March, 'Absi said Fatah al-Islam wanted to implement shari'a law among Lebanon's Palestinian refugee community before confronting Israel. The Saudi-owned al-'Arabiyya channel has advanced a theory that 'Absi is just the front man for an even murkier cabal of multinational Islamist conspirators including one 'Abd al-Karim al-Saadi, aka "Abu Muhjin." This fierce-looking Palestinian bogeyman was cast as the mastermind behind the criminal activities of the Lebanese-Palestinian salafi group 'Usbat al-Ansar before disappearing into the "security island" of 'Ayn al-Hilwa.

BENEFITING: New York City Ballet, Inc.
ORGANIZER: New York City Ballet, Inc.
As many of you bore witness to the highs and lows (and some of the really low lows) from what I've lovingly dubbed the "Grandpa Trot Deluxe of 2015", I am hoping that I can count on your support as I take on this (possibly/probably) insane idea of running another marathon for New York City Ballet this November.
Even in the >2 short years since I last ran this thing, NYCB has continued to be an important part of my life, and I can't think of any other organization that could convince me to do this (again). (Also, if you needed any further proof, just go to my instagram... I think NYCB occupies a solid +50% of my feed... with shibas, 90s movie stills, and tennis occupying the other 50%.)
All this said, I'm writing with the hope that I can count on your support as I again try to raise money for NYCB and its Dancer Wellness Fund. Thank you for your support!
PS. For banana fund details, please inquire within... ;)

The weather was very good, hot and sunny, and there was a lot to see, with 2 or 3 marquees of crafts, a selection of boys toys, eg: Radio controlled planes and boats, small scale live steam locos and tractions engines, some marvellous Meccano Models.
The bigger stuff included Steam engine demonstrations such as log sawing, threshing, and stone crushing. Surprisingly there was not a large amount of the big Traction Engines and Showmans engines, it was mainly the smaller road engines, however what was there was interesting, I do like the smell of steam and hot oil. There was a couple of sections for cars, one for vintage pre 1960 cars, a lot of Wolselys, Rileys, Humbers, a couple of Jowetts, and an area for post 1960 cars with a fair few Triumphs on show belonging to East Anglia Practical Classics Club.
I have never seen as many classic tractors as at this event, lines and lines of them, they dont do anything for me, but there was a lot of old farmers swarming over them, all saying "thats right boy"
Also on show where a large amount of hit and miss engines, early static semi diesel engines, all powering pumps, generators, etc.
I also looked around a selection of military, classic bus and commercial vehicles.
Heres a few pics.
Ransome and Jefferies Road Tractor.
Vintage Section.
Mk1 2000, Big Rover, and Yank Tank.
Steam Lorry.
Aveling Steam Tractor.
Southend Albion Bus.

Ryukyu Village
plus a little sanshin and drums.
my friend Jane and I were able to attend Ryukyu Village, a tourist trap with traditional Japanese folk music, clothing, gift shops etc. It was like a greenhouse with a remake of an old Japanese village inside. It turned out to be a neat experience.
The guy on the left is playing a sanshin, which is an Okinawan musical instrument. It's covered in python skin, has 3 strings, (or in this case his had 2 necks making 6 strings), and it sounds like a Japanese tweaked banjo...take the folk out of the banjo and add some Asian flare. I must admit, this concert was entertaining for the first 2-3 songs...by the 5th I was about to fall asleep in my chair...the plucking of those sanshin strings was like a lullaby. But every now and then the girl on the right would BEAT on the drum and I'd be jolted back into the present.

GEO-Location by RoamingAround is Stimulating Mobile App Use and a Quick ROI
September 23, 2014 9:50am
BOSTON, MASS. - SEPT. 23, 2014 -Hoteliers looking to enhance their current mobile strategy and increase guest engagement with their branded mobile app are turning to GEO-Location. Through targeted hotel-to-guest messaging based on location (indoor or outdoor), hotel marketers are finding that mobile app use is on the rise. This not only drives incremental revenues and provides a faster mobile app investment return; it simultaneously increases guest satisfaction, builds loyalty and improves the hotel's bottom line.
GEO-Location provides hoteliers with the latest in technology - GPS, Latitude/Longitude positioning, Bluetooth BLE 4.0, NFC and WiFi - to locate guests and send them personalized messages by SMS, Push, or via the hotel's Mobile App. The GEO-Location component can easily be added to any existing app by use of our software development kit, or it can be included in a full Mobile Engagement Solution by RoamingAround.
"RoamingAround's new GEO-Location is ideal for hotels that have committed to building an app or already invested in app development but need to revive/revamp it to make it relevant," said Michael Garvin, RoamingAround president. "Why leave mobile app engagement to chance? By adding our GEO-Location component, hotel marketers can send targeted, personalized messages, offers or incentives based on timing and location. This will increase mobile app use, as guests look forward to receiving their next custom offer that is sure to enhance their hotel experience.
"In the late 90s, hotel owners and operators began buying hardware and software for the sake of automation with little regard to its return on investment; they rarely used the technology to its full potential, didn't know how to analyze the data the systems provided, and disregarded system compatibility," he said. "Today, hoteliers are experiencing much of the same confusion now knee-deep in the mobile age. They are building mobile websites, developing mobile apps, and buying mobile guest-service solutions because they have to in order to remain competitive. But now what? Knowing how to make these mobile services known to guests is tricky, and getting them to actually use the tools efficiently is equally as difficult. This is where GEO-Location by RoamingAround can help."
Proximity marketing drives impulse purchases by accurately pinpointing where a guest or group of guests is on property. This ensures that all triggered messages can be personalized to each individual or group, and it increases the likelihood that the guest will accept the offer and engage. Properties and brands decide the areas and rules of when and who gets hit with these messages; different content is shown to different users based on proximity and preferences. Messages can even be triggered in multiple languages for a multi-cultural experience.
"On the back end, GEO-Location tracks each guests' whereabouts to personalize their experience using the hotel's mobile app," Garvin said. "A simple plug-in component quickly breathes new life into a hotel's potentially outdated app while reviving its investment. It also offers a new level of mobile engagement with travelers while becoming a fun, new use of mobile technology. RoamingAround provides analytical tools that track conversion rates and guest traffic patterns greatly increasing success ratios. The system supports social media check-in and is TCPA compliant, preventing guests from reporting SPAM allegations."
Indoor/Outdoor Engagement
To facilitate indoor geo-fencing, RoamingAround works with each hotel to identify the best indoor access points (iBeacon, Bluetooth BLE 4.0 and WiFi) throughout the property. Being able to detect a guest's movement vertically between floors or levels of a space greatly improves the accuracy of sending relevant messages. These messages can be discounted deals, complimentary offerings or luxury incentives, such as a private booking. RoamingAround's GEO-Location enables marketers to manage automated triggers that contain hyper-personalized messaging to ensure they are not only gaining incremental revenue, but also engaging each customer with different experiences, based on their personal preferences, habits and history.
RoamingAround's outdoor geo-fencing solution tracks customers as they explore the surrounding areas and entices guests to take immediate action within "fenced" locations, such as hotel outlets, partnering businesses, transportation hubs and even competitor locations. The technology combines individual customer profile data, business intelligence rules and uses latitude and longitude coordinates, GPS or Bluetooth 4.0 capabilities, to automatically streamline each scheduled or event-driven trigger.
"The key to successful GEO-Location engagement is knowing each guest; who they are, what they want and when they want it," Garvin said. "When the information being sent is relevant and timely, guests will be eager to engage. RoamingAround will work with hotels to craft messaging that will trigger impuse offers and incentives that visitors simply can't refuse."

Independent wrestler Leva Bates, who is a good friend of Ricardo's, made a post about him being suspended for using fat burners. Her post was quickly deleted. Another indy wrestler, JD Maverick, made a reference to fat burners in a Facebook post he made:
"So weird that some WWE Superstars get arrested for DUI's, pot, and other illegal activity AND don't get suspended…yet fat burners from GNC get you 30 days? GTFO.

Illegal mining of sand and boulders near the Ganga is quite rampant in Haridwar and the neighbouring areas of Uttarakhand despite a crackdown by the authorities. Experts feel this could cause serious consequences for the river as well as the people whose livelihoods are dependent on it.
The issue has been raised several times in the past. Swami Nigmanand of Matri Sadan, a social activist, was on a hunger strike over the issue which led to his death about four years ago. The Union Environment Ministry had sent a team earlier this year to Haridwar, which gave an adverse report, following which the National Green Tribunal (NGT) banned illegal mining along the river. However, the administration has failed to take effective steps to check these activities which are taking place unabated in connivance with the builders' lobby.
Despite the orders to shut down mining activities, unauthorised mining still continues in the wee hours of the night till early morning in the district. "The mining usually starts late in the night nowadays and continues till early morning. By that time, all the mined sand and boulders have already been transported by tens of trucks that frequent these mining sites," Bidha Ram, a social activist and resident of Haridwar, told this newspaper.
He said: "The flow of the Ganga has been affected so much. The river's ecosystem is being harmed for the sake of money. Large scale mining is carried out in Haridwar. The mining activity in fact starts from Rishikesh, where the illegal miners excavate boulders from the riverbanks and the riverbed."
This correspondent, while visiting the unauthorised mining sites, found mining equipment lying near the riverbed in Raiwal near Haridwar; and at some places he found trucks that were being loaded to transport the mined sand. Boulder mining was also seen near the low depth stretches of the river in Rishikesh.
"You can see the actual situation on the ground. The authorities are not doing anything. In any case, it is not possible to monitor the whole stretch of the river day and night. These people who are violating the holy river should be punished severely. It is important to understand that the river supports the life of more than 40 crore people in the country," Swami Dayanand told this newspaper.
"Destroying its ecology is going to harm many people. This kind of abuse is irreparable and we all need to realise that any kind of short term profit cannot outweigh the relevance of the Ganga and its value in our lives. We have been fighting for this cause for so many years. Our own Swami Nigmanand lost his life for this cause. People took notice for a few days and then forgot about him. The sand mafia are destroying this region," he added.
A massive amount of sand is required by the construction industry for its projects. Despite a legal framework in place in some states, the industry digs up a huge quantity of sand by dredging earthen materials from riverbeds beyond sustainable limits.
"In every river, the 'sand mafia' purges the depths for profitable sand. The yearly turnover from sand mining from rivers is over Rs 1,000 crore.
Sand mining can be held responsible for various social and economic dilemmas as well. It brings revenue to the panchayats and also the state government. This gives rise to corruption and conflict of interest. So a certain kind of relationship emerges between local political leaders, contractors and bureaucrats creating a strong power nexus. This nexus is very capable of countering community-wide resistance," said Jaideep Gulati, a Haridwar-based environmentalist.
Till now authorised mining was being carried out in Uttarakhand on 1,380 hectares near the Ganga and its tributaries like Ganga Bhopur, Ganga Vishnupur, Kotawali, Rawasan and Rawasan-II, which flow through Shyampur and Chidiyapur ranges of Haridwar Forest Division. State authorities have, for the time being, shut down all kinds of mechanised mining near the Ganga.
Earlier, S.T.S. Lepcha, additional principal chief conservator of forests and managing director of UFDC, had said that mining will be carried out on 1,380 hectares of land near the Ganga and its tributaries like Ganga Bhopur, Ganga Vishnupur, Kotawali, Rawasan and Rawasan-II.
Lepcha had said that it is important to have regulated mining along certain designated stretches of the Ganga, covered by the Shivalik Hills. The sand and boulders that the river currents wash down from the higher areas need to be removed regularly to clear the river path and prevent flooding in some flood-prone areas.
In March this year, a team from the Union Environment Ministry had visited different areas in Haridwar to ascertain in which places illegal mining was taking place. The team submitted its report on 27 March. In April, the National Green Tribunal had banned all illegal, unauthorised and unscientific mining.
The Union Ministry of Environment, Forests, and Climate Change (MoEFCC) in its report "Mining of minor minerals in Dhobighat, Misserpur, Ajeetpur, Bishanpur, Sajjanpur, and Raighat Aithmal on the riverbed of the Ganga in Haridwar" stated that hundreds of tractors were engaged in transport of the minor minerals (sand, bajri and boulders). The report had further stated that no government official was found in the area and recommended that illegal mining in the area be immediately stopped.
"The NGT gave regular orders to shut down illegal mining in the region more than six months ago but there seems to be no strong response from the local authorities. The people involved in mining need some moral introspection as well," Bidha Ram said.
Harish Semwal, district magistrate of Haridwar, told The Sunday Guardian: "The SDM of Haridwar gave orders recently to close down all mechanised mining activity across the stretch of the Ganga and opened a dialogue process with all stakeholders. I have written to the director of mining and geology seeking direction for shutting down mining from Raiwal to Bhogpur in the light of the orders of the High Court and the National Green Tribunal wherein directions were given to not issue permits for riverbed mining to people who have less than five hectare land lease."
