I'll to continue sharing my thoughts on bad tropes, but today, I'd like to talk about the ones that I like. Most are romance tropes, because I am a sap, and as always, there are exceptions to the rule: these tropes can be done badly or in a cliche way. But, usually, I love it when writers play with these ideas. Check it out!
Obviously, I want ours to be a world where this would never be necessary. I want our society to be one where women don't have to compromise their selves or their femininity to be respected. But sexism is an active reality. Women are still granted less power both over themselves and in society purely because of their gender. So when girls in stories use their wit and will to trick people into treating them with equality, it's a powerful thing.
I love the way this trope works to promote feminism and dissect gender politics. Additionally, it adds some delicious conflict, especially when it comes to romance. Disney's Mulan, Stacy Lee's Under the Painted Sky, and Sherry Thomas's The Elemental Trilogy are all good examples of this trope. This week's "Waiting On" Wednesday also uses this concept.
Sleeping Together Without "Sleeping Together"
I have what amounts to a very conservative worldview about sex, because I believe it should be reserved for marriage. Furthermore, I suffer from anxiety about rape and other abuses within a relationship. But despite that, or more likely because of it, I've always loved stories where romantic partners spend the night together without engaging in sex. This trope can be effective even if they're just in neighboring rooms.
I love the idea of having a loved one so close at hand. I love that it doesn't have to be anything else. I love the safe intimacy of that moment. I love cuddling! To be with someone and to trust them not to take advantage in such a vulnerable moment is, to me, ideal. I would love to feel like I could be that open with someone. In YA books, of course, it has the added bonus of being a secret, shush, because parents. Which in real life is a terrible idea, but it adds some fun drama to the story.
Many stories in the vein of "Beauty and the Beast" or "Hades and Persephone" play into this trope, as does Meg Cabot's The Mediator series and Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series.
Fake / Arranged Relationship
This relates to the previous trope and is so classic it's cliche, but I adore it. Let's be real: watching two characters who, while pretending to be in love, become so close they actually fall in love, is super fun. It involves a lot of emotion, a lot of intimacy, and is often an example of friendship as a basis for love, which I think is super important. An extension of this that I also enjoy is the "arranged marriage" trope. When presented in a non-abusive fashion where both parties have control and can offer consent within the established relationship, this can be a fantastic romance.
For examples of this trope, once again see the "Beauty and the Beast" or "Hades and Persephone" storylines, as well as Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games trilogy and Kiera Cass's The Selection trilogy.
I've never understood people who could date or fall in love with someone that they've only known for a couple of weeks. I don't really mind seeing it in stories, but it doesn't seem, in real life, like that could in any way be safe or legitimate. How can you be in love with someone you don't know enough about to even be friends with?
That's why I especially love the romances where old friends fall in love. I love the couples with history and background, who have long-term commonalities and a deep affection for each other. This isn't to in any way encourage dudes whining about the friendzone, because I'm 100% not here for that. But I want to be friends with my future husband before anything else. Friendship, to me, is the logical basis of love.
A few examples of this trope include J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, Marissa Meyer's Winter, and Leigh Bardugo's The Grisha trilogy. I'd also argue for The Hunger Games' Peeta being included here--although he and Katniss aren't friends at the beginning of the story, they have a positive history that goes back to kindergarten.
Magical Women / Witches / Goddesses
I'm a big believer in women having their own brand of magic separate from men, something deep and powerful and even wild, that others may fear and therefore try to stifle or destroy. I'm talking about witches, I'm talking about goddesses, I'm talking about gifted women who protect their families, love fiercely, and never falter in their beliefs while maintaining the power to utterly destroy at will. These women have incredible power because they are women, not in spite of it. Basically, I love feminine-coded magic.
My favorite examples include Scarlet Witch from the Marvel Universe as well as the women in Alison Goodman's Eon, Josephine Angelini's Worldwalker trilogy, Roshani Chokshi's The Star-Touched Queen, Kate Constable's The Chanters of Tremaris trilogy, and so many more.
Besides the above tropes, I'm also a big fan of empathic or telepathic powers, disability and mental illness representation, complex family relationships, examinations of psychological/social concepts, and unusual formats or points-of-view. For more details, check out this post!

**This is a previous post that was supposed to be posted ages ago. In lue of my pink eye (still pink!!), I'm not in any shape to post anything new yet. So just bear with me.
Since Friday was a holiday (Awal Muharam), we were supposed to go back to Melaka to see my in laws. However, my MIL called; everone there is suffering from an eye infection. My SIL is the worst, her damn eyeball is bleeding!! Uwaaaaa...
So we cancelled that plan and got the rare opportunity to just stay at home for a change. We didn't do much on Friday except for some springcleaning and the usual laundry marathon.
On Saturday, hubby decided to take the kids out. We had promised Dania a new bicycle since she got good results for her final exam. She got 2nd in class. Yeah, Dania. Since she got 2nd, she didn't get the scooter she wanted. Promises are promises. She was a bit dissapointed but I told her, if she still wanted one next year, I would consider using her own money to buy it.
We went to Sunway Pyramid. Daria was such an angel, only crying when she wanted some milk. We had lunch at Burger King and just enjoyed the sights and sounds there. There was a Miss Tourism pegant thingy going on so lots of people were checking that out. To be honest, the ladies weren't all that hot. Heee...
Dania and hubby tried out the new archery place. They had a promotion going on. Actually Dania tried for free while hubby only paid RM9 for 15 arrows or so. Dina was too small to try and Daria decided to wake up at that time, so maybe next time for me.
We walked some more and unfortunately for Dania, we couldn't find a shop that sold any bikes. In the end, the only shopping we did was some shower cream for Daria and some strings for hubby's badminton racket. But it was great family time for us all.

Facilities & access
The visitor centre was designed with good access in mind. There's easy access parking on a hard surface in front of the building for disabled badge holders. This leads straight onto a paved walkway to the front door.
Getting around
We don't have wheelchairs but our buggy (golf cart) is available to visitors with limited mobility to help them travel around our farm (subject to staff, demand, weather and surface conditions).
Walking frames are not suitable on paths around the Stud Farm. However, in general, access is dependent on the mobility of the individual and underfoot conditions/weather.
Mobility scooters can be used in the visitor centre. Surfaces around the farm are uneven so some scooters may not handle the terrain. Please drive slowly around the farm, barns and stables, with due care to pedestrians and animals.
Disabled toilets
There is a fully appointed disabled toilet within the visitor centre. The outside toilet block on the farm does not have disabled access.
Prams and buggy access
These can be used in all areas of the visitor centre. All terrain buggies and prams are suitable on all farm paths and walks but small wheeled buggies/prams will struggle. Access is also weather dependant, especially on the dirt tracks on the longer walks.
Baby changing
All visitor centre toilets have baby changing facilities. The toilet block on farm does not.
We have a picnic area if families wish to bring their own food. In the cafe, we have high chairs and can provide warm water to heat baby milk and baby food if required.
We encourage visitors to arrive here by bike or foot, so cyclists and walkers receive a discount of £1 off their ticket price.
There are 4 cycle racks at the front of the visitor centre for cyclists to lock up bikes.
There is ample free parking on site for visitors and patrons of the cafe.
The gravel area in front of visitor centre takes 30 cars, plus there's space for a further 10 cars on other side of the front door on a hard surface (2 allocated disabled spaces).
Coach parking
Coaches are welcome with advanced notice. Coach parties can organise to visit as a group with rates and activities pre-arranged. Visit our days out for coach parties page for more info.
Overflow and event parking
We can accommodate 400+ cars by using the grassed meadow to either side of the entrance drive, in front of the visitor centre. On event days the car park is managed and all 10 spaces by the front door are for disabled use only.
Off-gravel parking may not be suitable for low-slung vehicles visiting on an event day - please contact us in advance.
Gates onto the site are opened at opening time and locked at closing time.

Why is postcard marketing so effective?
Using postcards to market your business can produce high impact results in a relatively short time. Why? Its natural when you receive a post card in the mail to turn it over and read who sent it to you. Unlike mailing out letters, which often times end up in the trash never opened, never read.

Ignoring autocratic practices and the export of Wahhabi extremism, Washington stubbornly dubs its ally "moderate." So tight is the trust that U.S. special operators dip into Saudi petrodollars as a counterterrorism slush fund without a second thought. In a sea of chaos, goes the refrain, the kingdom is one state that's stable.

5 Best Fish Scaler Reviews
1.Big Norm-Feets 88111 Magic Fish Scaler Review
Love to fish on the ocean and have caught a good number of fish? Tackle Factory has brought Big Norm Magic Fish Scaler to make taking your fish from the stream to your fork.
Just rub this device on the fish— without pressing hard, and the scales will instantly fall off very quickly. Note that to make the scales not fly and flick in every direction, go slow and they might stay below the scaler. Or you may scale the fish in a tub of water.
Relatively fast and lightweight, this kit is designed for scaling small to big fish- from sea bass, strip bass or red snapper to salmon. But it works better on the big scales like snapper and such. Only 3 or 4 swipes down the sides and the scales are gone.
This great tool doesn't cut the meat like some of the metal ones do. Again, it's all high-impact plastic. So, no rust, no corrosion and no slime. In fine, does a better job than any metal scraper. Cleaning it is also easy. Just rinse under water. You may use dish soap to get a hygienic wash.
This item is an affordable option to keep in mind if you're in the market for a cost-efficient fish scaler. Only 8 inches long, but works fine for larger fish scales also. While scaling a smaller fish (can be of 1 lb.), just keep your fingertips in mind a bit more.
The only drawback you may want to count is that it makes the scales do fly all over the place. But it also has a solution. Just spread out some newspaper and put on an apron to make everything go great. Another effective way to get rid of this problem is- before scaling, fill your kitchen sink with water, submerge the fish into it, and then no scale will jump.
Though it is intended for scaling the whole fish. you can use it on cut fish also. But You just need to be more cautious about your fingers while doing it.For washing this fast and reliable kit, use hot soapy water along with a stiff brush if you need.
7" Eagle Claw Scaler, one of the most feature-rich scalers, can be a great choice for the fishermen of any stage. Whether you are a beginner angler or a professional one, this scaler would make your cleaning session hassle free.
The neat thing about this product is that it features a rubber handle which you'll find comfortable even with fishy hands. With this soft foamlike grip, you'll be able to scale small fishes too.
Available in reasonable price, yet far superior to the metal stamped scalers, this tool is easy to use and helps you scale quickly and effortlessly.
So, upgrade yourself with this durable kit while you've got a mass of fish for dinner. Don't go on its less impressive look as the product is intended to be functional.
Best Electric Fish Scaler Review
Many of those old school tools are now gone old. Your hands become tired when you have to remove scales of fish one by one, spending bunch of minutes skinning and cleaning it.So, don't you think it is high time to stop wresting with the fishes before you bring them on your dinner plate?
You got to come back to the dock, got to take out your gear, wash down your boat and if you're lucky enough to catch fish, you've got to clean up.What an old-fashioned way it is that you're scrapping…. scrapping…and your arm is tired, your wrist is tired and you're making up your fingers!But let me tell you something right now.You can scale fish in a matter of seconds by using an electric fish scaler. It'll be easy, fast and fun to do.
4.Bear Paw EFS Electric Fish Scaler
While you wouldn't want to spoil the fun of scaling by using a manual scaler, Bear Paw EFS Electric Fish Scaler can a great option. It works quite well on all sized scales. So, you don't need to erase small fishes from your menu worrying about cleaning them.
Thanks to its cutting-edge extra hard Teflon coating that makes cleanup quicker and easier. It's rust-free and can be used in both fresh and saltwater. Outstanding performance is made more visible by the flexible cord that gives a good handling experience. You can scale without worrying about getting the fish-meat damage or your hand cut.
In 110 volts and 1 1/2-amps motor at 3000-RPM, it scales tough varieties of fish like, walleye, bream or bass. But it won't work without an adapter. Just be careful, because the scales tend to go everywhere when you start scaling with it. So, make sure you have a good place to do it in or put down some plastic like garbage bag and kinds of stuff so that you can catch a lot of it.Save your hours of time with this model and engross yourself on some more important tasks. In fact, it's obvious that after using it, you won't be tempted to try another type of scaler.
Best Automatic Fish Scaler Review
5.Open Country TD-6065-13 Tumble Drumm Sportsman Automatic Fish Scaler
High-end Open Country Automatic Fish Scaler may be very expensive, but you never have to worry about scales spraying all through your kitchen or cleaning area.At its very best it can scale your entire catch in just a few minutes. The large capacity, stainless steel drum will help you scale up to 50 fish at the same time.
Simply place your catch inside the drum, add water and turn on the device. The fish will automatically be scaled in 20 minutes or less while you're relaxing or preparing the rest of the meal.Portable and best for both indoor and outside use if you have access to AC power, Open Country Automatic Fish Scaler is built durable for a long life and the removable drum is easy to clean. You just need to hose out the inner area of the drum.
The components are designed to remove the scales gently leaving the fish washed, undamaged and ready for making them fillets.The quiet and powerful geared electronic motor is enclosed in a waterproof housing. To make it a complete pack, a sturdy polypropylene tub is featured that keeps the entire system odor and mildew free.
Tips to Use Electric Fish Scaler
Choose a light-weighted and self-contained fish scaler with a rubber handle to make your fish scaling experience nice and loveable.
Don't forget to consider the power outlet. Maximum brands come with their device workable at about 110 volts. So, you can easily plug it into the cigarette lighter on your boat or stick it to the RV inside your car. Just be careful about scales inside your backseat as that could be a problem.Make sure the electric scaler you choose cares about your safety. The combination of stainless steel and plastic construction can be a good scaler for your fillet.
Compare it to an old-fashioned aluminum fish scrapper. You don't need to give extra pressure on your wrist with it. No pain on your wrist, no pain on your arm and basically no pain to use. You can also clean such scalers only by a couple of wipes.
Now don't take my words for any electric fish scaler.
Go to the store or online and you'll find these kits comparatively easier to use, affordable, fast and safe. Once you try this, you'll never go back after picking the best fish scaler.

Delight for Canada on historic day
Delight for Canada on historic day
Canada was on the verge of elimination, two goals and just 45 minutes away from being ousted from its most important tournament, and on home turf.
Clearly the Canadians weren't willing to let it end.
Trailing 2-0 to Finland at halftime, Nichelle Prince scored the game-winner as Canada roared back to win 3-2 at the FIFA U20 Women's World Cup on Friday, breathing new life into the team's hopes of advancing. "It was a great atmosphere in the locker-room (at halftime) considering the score," said coach Andrew Olivieri. "They were just really clear of the objective in the second. We had to find a way to finally put one in and then keep the pressure on."
Janine Beckie and Valerie Sanderson, second-half substitutes, also scored in a thrilling final 45 minutes that Canada thoroughly dominated. Coming off a 1-0 loss to Ghana in their tournament opener, the Canadians needed at least a draw to have any hopes of moving on, but a victory looked far from certain until Beckie, who plays college soccer at Texas Tech, finally scored the team's first goal of the tournament in the 48th minute.
The 19-year-old, whose older brother is former Columbus Crew defender Drew Beckie, fired a shot off the post that curled in off a Finnish defender.
"Andrew (made the substitutions) to bring a little bit more energy to the game, we were in a little bit of a slump so I just wanted to come on and bring my own kind of energy and my game," Beckie said. "I scored the goal, thank god, it was a great ball in, and we were just really excited to get in there and make a difference."
Sanderson, a 19-year-old who plays for the University of Memphis, pulled Canada even in the 50th when she one-timed a low cross from Prince to beat Finnish goalkeeper Vera Varis. The 19-year-old Prince, a forward at Ohio State University, scored in the 80th minute, one-timing a cross from Beckie to the delight of the noisy fans at National Soccer Stadium — or BMO Field to its regular inhabitants, Major League Soccer's Toronto FC.
"It was an amazing feeling," Prince said. "We all worked hard to get back to the 2-2 tie, and we just had to push a little bit longer and get that extra goal in. I knew we were going to get it and I was happy I could be the one to score."
The game drew 16,503 fans to the lakeshore stadium. A large section of Ghana fans had stuck around from their 3-0 loss to North Korea in the early game, and spontaneously broke into "O Canada." "That's for sure the biggest crowd I've ever played in front of, and it was just incredible," Beckie said. "To have this World Cup at home in front of a 16,000-plus stadium is just an unbelievable feeling, and for them to be behind us the whole game, even when we were down, they really helped us get that win."
Earlier in the day, Ri Un-Sim scored twice as North Korea blanked Ghana 3-0 to take sole possession of top spot in Group A. Jo Son-Yon also scored a stoppage-time penalty for North Korea (2-0-0), which will face Canada on Aug. 12.
In Group B play, Sara Daebritz and Theresa Panfil each scored twice as Germany and China battled to a 5-5 draw. Pauline Bremer added the other for the Germans (1-1-0), while Zhu Beiyan led China (0-2-0) with a pair of goals and Jiali Tang, Zang Chen and Lei Jiahui each scored once.
Also, Lindsey Horan scored once to lead the United States to a 1-0 victory over Brazil. The Americans are 1-0-1, while Brazil is 0-1-1.

Pictured above is the Brown Deadstock Luggage Camera Strap. As you can see, unlike traditional narrower camera straps, Couch Straps can be comfortably worn across the shoulder "guitar strap style" instead of only looped around your neck. Notice that all of these pictures are of the same strap, and that these adjustable straps are, unlike our guitar straps, entirely reversible. Basically you can flip this brown strap to show vintage army green any time you like. Rock!
These reversible straps are made of the exact same 2 inch wide strapping material as our incredibly high quality and unique Brown Deadstock Luggage Guitar Straps. Because of this we can keep the prices of these down to about half of what some of our competitors charge for similar custom camera straps.

Mark Twain, besides his ear for colloquial metaphor, had the talent of losing astounding sums of money on others' inventions. After a few warm-up debacles in earlier decades, he capped his investing career in the 1890s by losing $190,000 on a mechanical typesetter.
Through it all he retained a fondness for tinkering with his own frivolous consumer products (a self-pasting scrapbook, a game to help remember historical dates) and a fascination with Yankee ingenuity and its cultivation. In ''A Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur's Court,'' Twain wrote: ''A country without a patent office and good patent laws is just a crab and can't travel anyway but sideways and backways.''
At a time when almost every American industry is scrambling to innovate, the patent system should act as an encouragement for change. But some troubling statistics have many patent-holders worried. Over 50 percent of the patents challenged in court are struck down. In certain circuit courts of appeals, over 80 percent of challenged patents are ruled invalid.
For six years, Congress has considered creating a single patent court of appeals, to simplify patent adjudication. The idea is now closer to reality than it has ever been. Passed by House and Senate, it awaits clearance through a conference committee before becoming reality. But some fancy parliamentary footwork may delay the bill's passage.
At present, there are 12 federal appeals courts. The Court of Appeals Act of 1981 would create a 13th appellate court by merging the existing Court of Claims with the Court of Customs and Patent Appeals. Unlike its 12 brethren, the new court would have a specialized area of jurisdiction: It would hear appeals concerning patents, government contracts, trademarks, and international trade.
Claims against the government - which would have landed in the old Court of Claims - would be handled by another new forum, the US Claims Court.
For one thing, proponents of the move say, a 13th federal appeals court could help carry the growing burden of cases. Between 1962 and 1979 the number of appeals quadrupled, from 5,000 to 20,000.
Those who argue against the system say that right now the validity of a patent depends on geography, not law. Some appeals courts look kindly on patents. Others, such as for the Eighth Circuit, consider patents a mild form of monopoly, and strike down over 80 percent of the patents challenged in their jurisdiction.
But the main good would be increased uniformity in patent law - ''one of the most far-reaching reforms that could be made to strengthen the US patent system in such a way as to foster technological growth and industrial innovation,'' said Rep. Robert W. Kastenmeier (D) of Wisconsin, in introducing the measure in the House.
''We strongly support the creation of a new court of appeals,'' said patent commissioner Gerald Mossinghoff in a recent interview. ''What that will guarantee is that for the first time you'll have a single court telling the patent office what the standard of patentability is.''
The Reagan administration, carrying on a tradition of strong executive support for patents (Thomas Jefferson called patents ''a spring to invention beyond my conception''), has provided funds for increasing the number of patent examiners. But as Joseph Allen, director of Intellectual Property Owners, points out, ''As long as the courts can't agree, any administrative change is just dust in the wind.''
Most groups involved with patents support the change. ''I'm definitely in favor of it,'' says a Washington patent attorney. ''Most of the (patent lawyers) I've talked to are for it.''
But, like most things in life and all things in Congress, the bill has its critics. The American Bar Association is against it. Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner Jr. (R) of Wisconsin thinks it would open the door to a flood of unnecessary, specialized appeals courts. Since only 191 of the 20,000 appeals cases filed in 1979 dealt with patents, he points out, the new patent court wouldn't spread the workload much. And he believes the problem of 12 courts with 12 standards of patentability shouldn't be solved this way.
''That's a criticism (the problem of contradictory decisions by separate appeals courts) that has been leveled against our whole federal appeals process, '' an aide to Mr. Sensenbrenner says. ''It should be addressed in a national way.''
The House and Senate need to reconcile differences in their bills before the court can be established. And one difference is gumming up the works. Sen. Bob Dole (R) of Kansas attached an amendment dealing with grain elevators to the Senate version. The House, angered, may drag its heels on calling the final conference.

Java is cool.. but it's purposes are totally different than C/C++.
I wonder how much substance Stroustrop's distaste for proprietary langauges has. I think it would be fair to credit Java's huge class library on the fact that it is proprietary... standardized annual (or even less frequent?) meetings simply will not yield results that fast.
Also, I don't really think Sun is in a position to entrap users like Stroustrop believes. They have a free compiler for multiple platforms. They sued Microsoft for a similair act with their own implementation of a Java compiler.
Prove you can code in C++ or C# at TopCoder, referrer rrenaud
Read my livejournal
I think there is some overlap (probably more C++) in what they are being used for and with quite a few universities switching their primary focus from C/C++ to Java I reckon it may become more dominant.but it's purposes are totally different than C/C++.
I think it makes a lot of sense. Java's association
with Web programming makes it an ideal startup
language for new programmers, with a lot more
possibilities publication-wise and job-wise. I
also think that those new programmers will eventually
migrate to C/C++ with a view toward long-term goals.
But right now Java==instant gratification, while
C/C++==1,000,000's of lines of code.
rick barclay
No. Wait. Don't hang up!
This is America calling!
do not be fooled by this and yes i have known about this for about 6 months...
Java programmers may out number because of the INTERNET what java scripting was built for is expanding and there is a greater need for java for web developement hence growing number of java users...
but as i said the capabilities of C/C++ will soon outmatch java(eg. C++ will have virtually ALL the capabilities of java) hence java will lose its grip...
i agree with rick so far as potential, and no-one so far as why it's widespread as it is...
personally, i still think that the capabilities of C++ far extend those of JAVA just as i was always given the preconception, in spite of this...

My husband and I have ydkj that we played on the Wii. We love your games. We currently have a Wii, xbox360, and a Mac computer. Is there any of these games we can play?? This would make an awesome Christmas gift, but I'm unsure if we can play any of these games with or operating systems. Thanks!
Evan on December 16, 2014 at 5:28 pm
Right now we don't support any of those systems, unfortunately. We are unable to self-publish on Wii or Xbox 360, but we are looking into a Mac version.
sunee on December 16, 2014 at 5:33 pm
If we have a smart TV, can we download steam, and then download your games to the TV? Sorry, I'm a little technologically challenged. That is my husbands expertise, but I want to surprise him. Thanks!
Evan on December 16, 2014 at 7:14 pm
No, you can't install Steam on a smart TV. If you have a Windows PC with an HDMI output, however, you can plug your computer into your TV and play that way. That works for some people.

The first major legislation to define Internet privacy rights and limit what data marketers can collect from children won what may be a swift ticket toward congressional approval last week.
As expected, the bill's sponsors agreed to limit its impact to commercial sites reaching kids under 13.
Approved unanimously and sent to the Senate floor by the Senate Commerce Committee, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act would bar Web sites from obtaining information from kids for marketing purposes without parental permission.
As revised, marketers could respond to a request for information and even send out regular newsletters to kids, as long as the e-mail addresses and any other information obtained wasn't used for marketing and parents were notified about the newsletters requested.
Attempts to use information gathered for marketing would trigger a requirement for "verifiable" prior parental notification and consent. That same notification would be required for any listing of a child's name or e-mail address on a home page, pen-pal service, message board or chat room.
The legislation, which calls for Federal Trade Commission enforcement, also would prohibit marketers from requiring kids to provide additional personal information in order to participate in a game or to win a prize.
The bill not only substantially narrows the sites covered but also bars states and localities from imposing different rules. It also gives the FTC the option of choosing to certify industry codes and then letting compliance with the codes show compliance with the law.
Co-sponsor Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) said he believes Congress still needs to go farther on privacy, especially with older kids, but that can wait until next year.
"We will be addressing in the future more and more serious issues, but I am glad we were able to do children," he said.
Kathryn Montgomery, president of the Center for Media Education, which had been pushing for children's privacy legislation, said she wished Congress would act this year on older children, but called this legislation a "good first step."
"It is important to get things moving at the FTC," she said.

Cubs' Milton Bradley under microscope, says ex-manager Ken Macha
By Dave van Dyck
When Milwaukee's new manager Ken Macha was in Oakland during 2006, Milton Bradley was also there, hitting .276 with 14 homers and 52 RBI in 96 games.
Asked what he knew about Bradley, Macha replied Thursday:
"He doesn't like water coolers, how's that? I could have told you that before he got here."
Macha remembers that Bradley might have thrown some helmets around in the dugout and that "he is an extremely tense guy and demands a lot out of himself. You don' come across too many guys that have that type of intensity about the game."
Macha was asked if he is surprised Bradley is hitting for such a low average and having trouble driving in runs during his first season with the Cubs after signing a three-year, $30-million contract.
"There's a lot of guys who go through frere agency and in their first year they're trying to justify the contract," he said. "You get put under the microscope and a lot of attention comes to you because [they] want to win and you were brought over here to kind of balance the offense, [the player who] was going to be the left-handed bat. So you get put under a microscope."

AKRON, Ohio – Defending champion Keegan Bradley is trying to recreate everything he did at last year's WGC-Bridgestone Invitational en route to the victory.
That includes eating at the same place for dinner every night – even though, as he pointed out, "I don't always order the same thing."
Bradley hasn't been shy about how much he likes this event – and it showed once again in a second-round 68 that left him at 6 under entering the weekend, seven shots behind leader Tiger Woods, but tied for second place alongside Chris Wood.
"This could be my favorite tournament all year," he exclaimed. "I love it here. This golf course and history, I really look forward to this golf tournament every time I come."
Following an opening 66, Bradley carded four birdies against just two bogeys on Friday. Even so, he believes there is still room for improvement over the weekend.
"My game feels really sharp right now, so everything that I've done this week so far has felt really good -- putting, driving the ball, irons," he explained. "I haven't gotten the most out of both my rounds, so hopefully [Saturday] I can do that."

Jeremías O'Leary Burke [?],
ca. 1835
(Catálogo de Miniaturas, 1993)
miniatures of Jeremias and Daniel O'Leary are of more than
passing interest. [32] They are described as being of the
'English school' and while that may be so, it is this writer's
belief that they are the work of the prolific Cork miniaturist
Frederick Buck. [33] Buck was renowned for 'the famous pink
complexion […] in its worst manifestation, this is an overall
pinkness, not merely rosy cheeks, and can be bestowed on man
or woman.' He was a 'man of habit. Having found his ideal
background, he stuck to it. He also stuck to his favourite
pose, which was three-quarter face, with the setter looking to
the right. He used this position whenever possible, sometimes
even when painting husband and wife as a pair […] He eschewed
profiles, in contrast to his brother Adam who specialised in
them…' [34] All of these characteristics are clearly evident
in these three O'Leary miniatures. Buck may well have painted
Daniel Florence O'Leary when the latter visited Cork in 1834.
O'Leary family is an interesting one. Daniel Florence married
Soledad Soublette, the sister of Bolívar's Chief of Staff, and
the future president of Venezuela, General Soublette. They had
a large family of five sons and four daughters. Four of the
children were educated in Europe and a grandson, also named
Daniel Florence O'Leary, settled in Great Britain and
established a branch of the family there.
[35] Some of
O'Leary's letters were at one time on display at the Museo
Nacional in Bogotá. On returning to Colombia after living for
a time in Jamaica and at Puerto Cabello in Venezuela, O'Leary
lived quietly with his wife and children at his estate 'El
Chocho' near Fusagasuga on the savannah of Bogotá.
[36] In
March 2005, Michael O'Leary of Cork, his cousin Peter O'Leary,
a great grandson of Daniel Florence O'Leary, accompanied by a
five-member group from Cork, gathered at the Panteón de los
Heroes in Caracas to lay a wreath in honour of the memory of a
revered hero. [37]
Vawell, [38] a Cambridge graduate from Cork, is a chronicler
who did not possess O'Leary's talent. O'Leary's memoirs are
the best contemporary account of the South American
revolutions by Latin American or European authors such as
O'Connor, Millar or Cochrane. Varwell has however left one
marvellous description of an unexpected encounter with a
compatriot. 'El propietario de la plantación era un irlandés
de nacimiento, llamado FitzPatrick, establecido desde hacía
mucho tiempo en el país; estaba casado con una criolla que le
había dado numerosa descendencia. Era la primera visita que
hubiese recibido de compatriotas, en aquel país, y pareció muy
asombrado del singular azar que se le procuraba. […] y era
ostensible su mucha satisfacción al conversar con nosotros en
su lengua materna, que no hablaba hacía años. (The owner of
the plantation was an Irish-born man named FitzPatrick who had
been settled in the country for a long time; he was married to
a Creole woman with whom he had many children. It was the
first visit of compatriots that he had received in that
country, and he seemed quite astonished by the singular chance
which had resulted in the meeting. [...] and his deep
satisfaction was evident in conversing with us in his native
tongue which he had not spoken for years.)'
British Cemetery, Bogotá
British Cemetery in Bogotá
[40] is located on Calle 26, next
to the sprawling central cemetery.
[41] In 1825 the British
community was given a burial plot on the road to Zipaquirá.
Two years later this plot was exchanged for another at San
Victorino and finally the existing property located in the
suburb of San Diego was obtained in 1829. In 1835 this land
was surrounded by a wall. The first burial registered at the
British Embassy is dated 1830. Some soldiers of the British
Legion and their descendants are buried in the cemetery. The
British Consul was responsible for burials and for maintaining
the relevant registers. In 1994 responsibility for the
operation and maintenance of the cemetery was passed from the
British Consulate to the resident British community.
inside the gate from the street and close to the main entrance
there is a bungalow-style gate lodge with listed building
status which has been declared national patrimony. A resident
caretaker lives in this house. The gate from the street is
kept locked and access is restricted to prevent theft,
vandalism and desecration of graves. The front garden section
is separated from the inner burial area by metal railings made
from canons and bayonets from the Colombian War of
Independence. [43] A tree-lined avenue leads to a formal
gateway and the actual burial area.
[44] There are identical
engraved stone plaques on both pillars and among the three
inscriptions there is one which reads 'Captain Charles Smith
of Ireland, who died at Bogotá on 3rd April 1853 aged 63
years.' Among the tombs and gravestones, some with faded and
illegible inscriptions, there are two further inscriptions of
Irish interest: 'Agnes Conley, Lissnafillan,
[45] Ireland 1868
- Bogotá 1945' and 'Marie Carrick O´Connor, 26 March 1912 - 10
March 2003.'

ACMC Lessons Management
The ACMC is responsible for the management of whole-of-government lessons learned from civil-military-police coordination in conflicts and natural disasters overseas. The Lessons Program focuses on the inter-agency level of decision making and coordination. The program does not drill down into individual agency performance (which is the prerogative of agencies themselves), but draws upon individual agency experience, to identify inter-agency lessons against international best practice.
Our objective is to deliver a coordinated and collaborative approach to civil-military-police lessons management across Australian government agencies, supported by a methodology for design, monitoring, evaluation, dissemination and implementation.
The lessons process captures the entire lessons life cycle—or 'lessons learning loop', which comprises information collection, analysis, identification, decision making, implementation, validation and importantly, dissemination of lessons.
To support the Lessons Program, the ACMC is developing:
- an applied action research and lessons capability to undertake real-time observation, information collection and analysis during a crisis event or preparedness exercise
- the capability to undertake lessons-focused research following a whole-of-government response to a conflict or disaster overseas, and
- a whole-of-government collective approach to identification, evaluation, dissemination and implementation of civil-military-police lessons, insights, findings and recommendations.
The ACMC applies measures of effectiveness and performance to collect and analyse data. These measures ensure continuous improvement in conflict and disaster management through organisational learning and knowledge management.

What a thrilling day of Test match cricket as wickets fell throughout, momentum swung from team to team and moments of brilliance deserved to be savoured.
Either side could win in Barbados. If England do, they will win the series 2-0, but West Indies will believe they can draw it 1-1 after reducing England to 39-5 at the close.
Eighteen wickets fell on the day, a record in the West Indies for a Test.
It was mostly a day of two swing bowlers. Jerome Taylor was brisk, moved the ball and took wickets in both the morning and evening sessions. In between James Anderson, slower in pace but more skilled and shrewd, topped and tailed the West Indies first innings with three wickets in the opening overs and three more to finish the job to record figures of 6-42 as the home side were bowled out for 189.
It gave England, who hit 257 in their first innings, a crucial lead of 68 and, at that stage, they looked dominant. However, Jonathan Trott did not last long in England's second innings, as has been his recent wont, and he was soon followed by both Alastair Cook and Ian Bell.
Poor old Trott, his rehabilitation has not worked and nor will his idiosyncratic technique while all and sundry around the globe know he cannot face the short ball. It was Cook and Bell, though, both lbw to Taylor, that really opened the game up in the final hour of play. The lead was creeping towards 100 but any position of strength was tenuous at best.
The pitch has been mostly blameless. The odd ball has gripped and there is some turn and a bit of bounce. Batsmen have been found out by wonderful swing bowling or poor execution.
Oh, what a joy Anderson's dismissal of Marlon Samuels was in the morning. He set him up beautifully with a series of well-directed outswingers. Samuels elected to leave as much as possible but he failed to pick the disguised inswinger that rattled into his pads. It was the most artful bowling but also enjoyable as Samuels is an antagonist on the pitch and was thoroughly stunned by the ball.
It is now worryingly obvious that Anderson's continued fitness is paramount to England. He will need to be equally good in the second innings here and throughout the summer against New Zealand and Australia.
There is a match to win, though, and if England do it will make Cook's first-innings century more valuable than simply breaking the hoodoo of not scoring one since May 2013. He just did his basics well, which is attack the short ball hard, leave outside off stump and push spinners into gaps. For West Indies, the talented Jermaine Blackwood did similar, although he failed to reach a century as he was running out of partners and was dismissed for 85. They may not be huge scores, but they were earned the hard way and are worth more in a low-scoring game.
One moment could change the result of this match, a moment like Chris Jordan's one-handed catch at slip to dismiss Shivranine Chanderpaul. He may have questions to answer about his bowling, but he is one of the best slip fielders in the world.
This nailbiting Test match is likely to be over in three days, a chief executive's nightmare of the sort no ground would want in England this summer. By then, though, Adam Lyth or Alex Hales should be opening instead of Trott. They should come into a side regaining confidence after a reasonably successful Caribbean tour and an opening partner in Cook who is rediscovering his mojo after a poor 15 months.
Because of all the things learned on this tour it is that England are much stronger with Cook performing with the bat and Anderson performing with the ball. Add in the likes of Joe Root, Gary Ballance and, who knows, maybe Kevin Pietersen and England do not look as abject as initially feared. Whatever the result here, at least the rebuilding process, for so long unnecessarily delayed, has started in earnest.

Simon Childs is a member of the Green Party and as well as writing on his own blog regularly contributes to Newcastle University newspaper, The Courier and the Fresh Politics blog. He also founded and edits the left-wing Newcastle newsletter; The Grey Matter.
I would recommend that everybody read John Pilger's inspiring article in the New Statesman. Railing against the "fossilised spivs", David Cameron and George Osborne, he encourages us to get angry and get active, declaring; "only one political course is left to those who are disenfranchised and whose ruin is announced on a government spreadsheet…There is no other way now. Direct action. Civil disobedience… do it".
Compare this to the utter bilge of Polly Tonybee in the Guardian. On the student demo against cuts to higher education on the 10th of November, she implores protesters to ask themselves, "exactly how angry should we be about graduates paying more? Where on the indignation-o-meter does this belong?" explaining that, "There is a limit to how many protests can be heard as jobs, valued services and the whole public realm comes under mortal assault, the effects felt worst by those who make least noise."
Essentially she's asking students to hold back in case we are successful in defending our education, which in her view would simply mean more cuts for other public services.
While Pilger links the public spending cuts together, understanding that none of them are 'necessary' as the government suggests and declaring them the manifestation of "a vicious, antique ideology, albeit served as economic snake oil", Tonybee completely caves to this vicious, antique ideology, telling us we are in "a world of scrimp and pinch".
As chief apologist for the Labour Party, no matter how low it sinks, she showcases Labour's total lack of a genuine answer to the Tories' economic medicine. By buying in to neo-liberal economic ideology, they have no solutions to when that ideology is biting their own supporters in the arse. Or rather, they have no solution when the Tories are doing it and they want to mount something that looks like an opposition.
Cutting public services and turning a blind eye to an historic transfer of wealth from poor to rich is not an alternative to cutting public services and encouraging an historic transfer of wealth from poor to rich.
This is what happens when you fail to make arguments on your own terms, invoking your own values. If you try to make left-wing arguments on right-wing terms you inevitably lose the argument and shift further and further rightwards because right-wing arguments do tend to be more logical if the starting point to the debate is an economic system that puts a price on everything and a value on nothing.
So rather than marching for free education as a right not a privilege, to defend universities' ability to continue their work as unique civilising institutions that enrich our society and to make them places where people from all backgrounds can have the opportunity to learn and better themselves, Tonybee suggests that we students who will march in our thousands should "demand back the right for everyone to have a second chance with a free level 2 course, and give back the free Train to Gain opportunity for the low-skilled to climb the ladder out of the minimum wage".
If she could just look, as Pilger does, across the channel, she would see what can be achieved when people act together in solidarity with each other, where students occupy buildings to defend pensioners' rights. What's happening in France doesn't come about by the disenfranchised refusing to stand up for themselves in case they make it worse for other disenfranchised people. It happens when people come together to fight as one against big business, the government, and those who would rather the poor suffer than give away a fraction of their billions.
What Tonybee is suggesting is exactly what the Tories want- divide and rule. Benefit claimants demanding students take the brunt of the cuts and students demanding that benefit claimants take the rap.
Instead, we need to fight not just for our own rights as individuals, but for the rights of others too. As Pilger says, "there is no other way now".

Editor's note: This post has been updated to reflect that an event previously scheduled for Friday has been canceled due to winter storms. It will be rescheduled at a later date.
Representatives of Gov. John Kasich's Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives are planning to come to Toledo to discuss with community leaders ways to reduce the area's infant mortality rate.
This meeting will be an opportunity to invite and educate leaders of Toledo-area religious organizations to take action in reducing infant mortality, said Sandy Oxley, chief of maternal child and family health for the Ohio Department of Health.
Celeste Smith, pictured in 2016, is the coordinator of Minority Health at the Toledo Lucas County Health Department.

"We know that the faith community can reach individuals in a way that governmental entities can't," she said. "They can serve as credible messengers [of information]." Representatives from the Ohio Department of Medicaid and Ohio Department of Health will also participate in the discussion.
Infant mortality rates, or how many babies die before their first birthdays per 1,000 live births, have been persistently high.
Lucas County's black infant mortality rate was 14.2 in 2016, compared with 5.0 for white infants, according to the Ohio Department of Health. Premature birth, birth defects, and sleep-related issues are the top three causes of infant death in Ohio.
The Toledo-Lucas County metro area was one of nine identified by the state for increased intervention because of high infant mortality rates. The Ohio Equity Institute is a partnership between the Ohio Department of Health and nine local health departments in Butler, Cuyahoga, Franklin, Hamilton, Lucas, Mahoning, Montgomery, Stark, and Summit counties.
In Lucas County, those efforts are headed up by the health department and the Hospital Council of Northwest Ohio.
Bringing faith-based organizations into the conversation about infant mortality is crucial, said Celeste Smith, community and minority health supervisor at the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department.
"We have done a really good job, involving professionals, social service agencies, and the hospitals," she said, but have not yet engaged clergy on a larger scale. "The community looks up to them, and we need to use them to help decrease disparities."
The event, originally planned for Friday, has been canceled due to winter storms, though a make-up date has not been announced. .

Features of a Good Backpack Leaf BlowerGardening 14/04/2018, 0 Comment
When looking for a leaf blower, it is important to consider all the features that you need. A backpack leaf blower is carried on the back, and it is important to look for a good leaf blower. When looking for a leaf blower, efficiency should be your priority.
You need to make sure that the leaf blower can effectively do the job. Here are the essential features of a leaf blower:
Volume and power
It is important to look for high volume and power when looking for a leaf blower. The high volume will help you in accumulating as many leaves as possible when collecting leaves. On the other hand, you also need to look for high power.
The high power will make it possible to remove small branches and even the wet leaves in your garden. You need to remember that the role of a leaf blower is not just to remove the dry leaves in your garden. It is supposed to remove anything that is not needed in the garden.
Comfort of the backpack
When using a backpack leaf blower, you will be required to carry it on your back. It is important to make sure that you are comfortable when carrying the backpack. For backpack leaf blowers, comfort is essential. When buying the leaf blower, make sure that the back and the shoulders are well padded. The padding will offer support and avoid any stress when carrying the leaf blower.
A backpack leaf blower should be lightweight. Since you will be carrying the backpack on your back, the last thing that you need is to have something heavy on your back. Carrying a lightweight back will increase your productivity and help you do more work in your garden. Always consider buying a lightweight but rigid leaf blower for your garden work.
The noise level of a leaf blower is always a big concern. You need to make sure that you consider buying a leaf blower that is quiet when using it. With a quiet leaf blower, the noise will not affect the neighbors or other members of the family when you are using it.
When it comes to efficiency, the main concern is always is the speed. You need to consider a leaf blower that will do the job in the fastest method possible.

Cake Mix and Oats Cookies
Chef's Note
"Using a cake mix and quick oats, you can have a few dozen cookies in no time flat! Yummy, moderately healthier, and so simple and quick! The possibilities are endless! Modified from a Duncan Heinz Dessert cookbook. Originally a no-cholesterol recipe."
READY IN:12mins
YIELD:36-48 cookies
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (18 ounce) box cake mix (Devil's Food or Swiss Chocolate is a favorite in my house to use, original recipe calls for Spice Ca)
- 1 3⁄4 cups quick oats
- 3 eggs
- 3⁄4 cup vegetable oil
Add-in suggestions
- 1 cup raisins, chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit
- Preheat oven to 350*.
- Mix all ingredients thoroughly in a bowl by hand with spoon/spatula. A whisk of any kind does not work well. I prefer to add the oats last, and slowly, mixing after each little addition. Batter will be stiff; not cake like.
- Drop by rounded spoonful onto greased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 7-9 minutes, until set and slightly brown on top, careful not to over bake.
- Upon removing from oven, let sit for a minute or two on cookie sheet. Then remove to wax/parchment paper for cooling.
- Store in an air tight container and enjoy!

BEIJING – Bo Xilai, the charismatic former Chinese Communist Party boss of Chongqing who was purged last year and whose wife was convicted of poisoning a British business associate, has been charged with bribery, corruption and abuse of power, authorities said Thursday.
The announcement by Jinan City People's Procuratorate in Shandong province, reported by the state-run New China News Agency, did not say when Bo would go on trial, but close followers of the case expect the proceedings to begin in mid-August.
Bo was fired from his post as Communist Party secretary in Chongqing in March 2012 and was stripped of his position as one of the 25 members of the Politburo. He will become one of the highest-level party officials prosecuted in years.
The son of one of Mao Tse-tung's closest comrades, he was until last year considered a rival to Xi Jinping, who took the reins of the Communist Party in November and became president in March. Many had expected Bo to go on trial last October, ahead of the party's leadership transition, so that Xi and his new team could take office with a clean slate.
In Chongqing, Bo had spearheaded a revival of dancing and singing of revolutionary songs and a Cultural Revolution-style crackdown on crime. He became a hero to many Chinese nostalgic about communism as it existed before China's reform and opening.
In announcing Bo's ouster from the party last fall, the news agency said that Bo had "received huge bribes personally and through his family ... and maintained improper sexual relationships with a number of women."
He also was accused of helping cover up misdeeds by his wife, Gu Kailai, who was convicted of murder in the poisoning death of Neil Heywood last summer and received a suspended death sentence. Bo has not been seen in public since last year.

EndNote Online (Web) is a web-based tool for managing and citing references in papers and creating bibliographies. This tool complements the EndNote X8 (desktop version) nicely.
Below are some simple visuals that will help you use the Handout above.
Please go to ENDNOTE Online to set up your account. The screen states to please sign in or create an account. Click on create an account to begin the process. Recently, EndNote has added additional screens you have to maneuver to get to the home page.
Once your account is open, you need to set up your database list. Click on the Collect Tab. Click on Import References. Click on Select Favorites. Highlight the databases you would like to use to import citations. If you plan to use Google Scholar, make sure to include EndNote Import in this list.
Very similar to the step above. Click on the Format Tab. Click on Bibliography. Select customize this list. Highlight the citation styles you use. Click the Copy to Favorites button. This works with the Cite While you Write option if you do not have this set up then Cite While you Write does not work.
Find citations in a database that you would like to add to Endnote Online. Important if you are given the option to select the EndNote Web option, use that option. Do not use the option Endnote it is separate from Endnote Web. Then follow the steps a. through c. If you do not have the option of Endnote Web skip over a. through c. and follow the paragraph below:
a. Click on save or export depending on the database you are in. You may want to gather in a folder before
b. You may have to unblock pop ups in your browser, then the sign in page for Endnote Online will come up, sign in.you export, but not all databases have this option. If needed please contact your librarian for additional help.
c. You should see a screen that tells you X number of records imported.
Export the citations from the database into a text file. Since there is no EndNote Web option, always select generic bibliographic management software and save the export document as a text file, which is .txt. Save the text file to the computer you are working on in a location that you can find. (I usually select the desktop, as it is easy to find the files there.) Open Endnote Online. Click on the Collect Tab. Click on Import References. Browse for the text file you have created that you saved from above. Next, select the filter, which is the database that you just were searching from the first dropdown list. Then, decide where you would like the citations to be filed in the "TO:" which is the second drop down list. Next, click Import button. You should see X number of files have been imported.
Set your Google Scholar Bibliographic Manager settings. From the homepage of Google Scholar, click on setting in the upper right. Now look towards the bottom of the page, see Bibliographic Manager, and use the arrows to select EndNote. Click save.
Find citations in Google Scholar. You should see – Import into EndNote – below the citations. Click on this for the citation you would like to add to your EndNote Online account. I know that I have made it clear not to use EndNote while working with EndNote Online but Google Scholar is the exception. When you click on the – Import into EndNote – link below the citation, it will automatically download a file to the computer. You can find this file either in downloads or in documents area on your computer. Open EndNote Online. Go to the Collect Tab and then Import References. Click on Choose file button and select the file that was downloaded to your computer from Google Scholar, click open. You should now see the file name on the screen in EndNote Online. Next use the first dropdown list to select the Import Option; you need to select EndNote Import here. Then using the second dropdown list, select where it is going "To", which folder you want the citation loaded. Now click the Import Button. You should see 1 file has been imported.
Find citations in PubMed. Mark references you want to import to Endnote Online, by using the checkmark boxes on the left. Under Send To (top of page on right) select File from the pull-down menu, then choose Format MEDLINE. Save the pubmed_result.txt file to your computer. Open EndNote Online. Select the Collect Tab and then Import References. Click on Choose file button and select the .txt file you saved. Click Open. Next use the first dropdown list to select the Import Option; you need to select PubMed (NLM) import filter. Then using the second dropdown list, select where it is going "To", which folder you want the citation loaded. Next, click Import button. You should see X number of files have been imported.
Cite While you Write is an add-on offered by Endnote Online to work with Microsoft Word. To locate Cite While you Write hover over format tab, then click on cite while you write link. Follow instructions listed for your system. This add-on insert citations from inside Word interface and allows you to edit to include page numbers to in-text citations.
Open Word. Make sure you have downloaded the Cite While you Write plug-in from Endnote Online. Click on the EndNote ribbon in Word. This will prompt a pop up for logging into EndNote Online. Now the ribbon is visible, click on insert citation. Find the citation you want to insert, highlight it, click insert.
Click on the citation you want to edit. Now choose Edit Citation(s) in the ribbon in Word. Adjust the page numbers and if needed author and year depending on your citation style.
Click on the Format Tab. Click on Bibliography. Next, select the group of references to format from the first drop down list. Highlight the bibliography output style that you want to use. Next select from the third drop down list the file format: Text, HTML, or RTF (Rich Text Format). Then use the save, email, or preview/print buttons as needed.
Click on the Organize Tab. Manage My Groups allows you to share groups with other's by entering their email address under Manage Sharing. Other's Groups allows you to see groups others have shared with you.
First open your EndNote Web account. Click on the format tab, then Export Reference. Use the dropdown menu to select the references you want to export. Now use the export style dropdown menu to select RefMan (RIS) export. Now click on the Preview & Print button.
This will open a popup window that has the citations in RIS format. You will then need to right click on the mouse to get to the "save as" tool. Click on save as, and a save as window will popup. See next figure.
Now you must save this file as a .ris file. To do this, change the .html to .ris. Make sure you give it a name you can remember and put it someplace where you can find it. I usually label mine as endnote citations.ris and put it on the desktop of my computer.
Note for some reason web browsers are not able to complete the Direct Export from Databases when using the radio button option - Direct Export to EndNote Web. Please follow the steps below as a work around until the Direct Export is fixed.
Only works on FireFox.
Please note this product has several names most commonly it is referred to as Endnote Web but you will see Endnote Basic and EndNote Online used as well.

Wow! I was so sick for the past week and I am still recovering from a nasty virus. The 5 days I spent in bed gave me some time to really think about the blessings of God. What a blessing it is to be healthy. When we are sick it is hard to do the simplest of tasks. Even getting yourself food can be a daunting task. It is easy to take our health for granted when we are well. So I just want to thank God for giving me the last week to reflect. I thank God for all of the days that he has given me and for the comfort that he provides me. I thank Him for loving me and for showing mercy. I thank Him for sending his Son for us. I thank Him for his promises of the future and the hope that it brings. As Mary said in Luke 1:
"Oh, how my soul praises the Lord.
How my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!
For he took notice of his lowly servant girl,
and from now on all generations will call me blessed.
For the Mighty One is holy,
and he has done great things for me.
He shows mercy from generation to generation
to all who fear him.
His mighty arm has done tremendous things!
He has scattered the proud and haughty ones.
He has brought down princes from their thrones
and exalted the humble.
He has filled the hungry with good things
and sent the rich away with empty hands.
He has helped his servant Israel
and remembered to be merciful.
For he made this promise to our ancestors,
to Abraham and his children forever." Luke 1:46-55
Praise the Lord!
