The bathroom reader
Thursday, November 2, 2017
It was a normal Sunday in October.
The 22nd, to be exact. It was gorgeous out, but that's to be expected. October is the month of perfect weather. I know adults shouldn't have favorite colors and numbers and months, but mine are as follows: green, 8, October. I stole 8 from Matt. Evelyn and I both share green and, true to stereotype, Sophie loves pink and Theo's favorite hue is blue.
That day we went to the blue park, as the kids call it. We had spent the morning at a friend's house where they had climbed and jumped and swung for a solid hour and a half, maybe more. When you subject your children to apartment living, they become hyperactive when let loose in a real backyard. Evelyn, at eight years old, is starting to pick up on the fact that real families live in houses with dogs and their own recycling bins, while poor families live in apartments. But there are perks to apartment living. Besides the obvious things like less space equaling less stuff equaling less time managing and cleaning said stuff and space, there is the added benefit of more quality time with each other because we're always so, so close to one another. I've also become a pro at tip toeing and stealth drawer opening in early morning hours so as not to wake the kids a minute earlier than necessary. Lastly, our rental office has a hot chocolate machine. What's not to love?
Still, Evelyn keeps asking for her own room, complete with a desk for doing her homework. I usually point out to her that we have a perfectly capable and sturdy kitchen table, not to mention an island with four stools. If that doesn't fly, I remind her that mommy and daddy were barely legal and fully broke when we had her, so we are still playing catch up. I know I really need to stop griping about money though when she offers to pay for her own things at the store, but still, I suspect that is more out of desire to do the self checkout at Target more than anything else. Target is probably (definitely) the reason we never have money. I always end up with pink sweatshirts or floral kimonos or a wooden light up star to hang on the wall.
Target was actually our final destination that day, after visiting our friends, which was a last minute thing. I had originally told them we'd go to the park and then the store, but because we had played in our friend's backyard, I thought maybe they'd forget about the park. Nope. They had loaded their scooters and skateboard in the back of the car and were not about to let me off the hook. If I was going to be the type of parent who forced a two bedroom apartment existence on them, they'd surely be the type of kids to demand a park and a backyard in one day.
But it was, after all, October, so how could I complain? I brought a book and read sporadically between spotting someone on the bars and pushing someone on the swing. I'm the type of person who likes labels and schedules and structure, but I'm learning that life is not always neat and tidy. Sometimes, you've just gotta make it work with you've got. Sometimes I get an afternoon on the couch with a book and my feet in the sun and other times I get a sentence at a time at the park. Cry me a river, right? Feel free to roll your eyes. Anyway, I love Stephen King's advice in one of my favorite books (another favorite!), On Writing: "The trick is to teach yourself to read in small sips as well as in long swallows. Waiting rooms were made for books—of course! But so are theatre lobbies before the show, long and boring checkout lines, and everyone's favorite, the john." (p 145-46)
The bathroom really is the best place to read. I know this because I live in an apartment with three kids and sometimes I lock myself in there with my current read to get out of making everyone toast. It's calm and quiet and you're killing a few birds with one stone.
As our park time winded down, I found myself needing to use the facilities. I told the kids I'd be right back and headed to the public park bathroom. The front door was held open by a wedge, and the stall I chose was directly opposite that door, so I was able to see out of the crack in my stall door and out to the park. I saw my kids running towards the building with their skateboard and scooters, and as they got closer they started to slow down and whisper, as if they were trying to surprise someone. I realized they were trying to sneak into the bathroom to scare me. I watched Theo with a smile as he and his big helmet head crept into the stall opposite to mine.
I got up and opened my door and walked to the only other stall in the bathroom, feeling giddy and playful, anticipating Theo's face when I would jump up and hopefully scare his socks off. I paused for a second and then made the jump, grabbing the top of the stall so I could hold myself up longer and we could have a laugh together.
Except it wasn't Theo.
I really should've paused longer. That small voice in the back of my head was right—I should've looked under the stall before I jumped. Turns out Stephen King was spot on when he said everyone likes reading while on the toilet. Upon jumping the stall with a stupid grin on my face, I found an older lady sitting on the pot with a book in her lap.
"Oh my gosh I am SO SORRY. I thought you were my son."
Usually, leaving the park is a dreaded ordeal. Someone's shoe is off and everyone is whining and I give the two minute warning every five minutes for a half hour. This day was different. I speed walked out of that bathroom to find my kids, Theo included, positioned right outside the building in some bushes. They yelled "surprise!" and I kept on walking right past them, trying to contain my horror and amusement. They double timed it to keep up with me as I whispered to them my faux pas and hightailed it to the parking lot. They could see that if they weren't in our car in record time they'd be left at the park. The last thing I wanted was to have to make small talk at the sand pit with the woman I had just seen with her pants down. The poor woman! Me being the poor woman.
We sat in the safety of the car and laughed and said "oh my gosh" and I covered my face with my hands. The kids couldn't believe I did that. They loved it, thought it was the best thing ever.
As the waning October sun began to set we headed back to the comfort and familiarity of the picture clad walls and stained carpet of our little apartment—but not before a stop at Target, where I did not buy any kimonos.

Boss, 30, was forced to retire late last year due to repeated concussions and takes over for longtime assistant Colin Clarke, who retired after nine years with the program. "We are excited to hire former player, Terry Boss, as a full-time coach," said head coach Tom McIntosh in a news release. "Terry succeeded both academically and in his soccer career while at Tulsa, and has played professionally since 2004. "He is going to help us address our goalkeeper training needs on a daily basis, as well as film work, recruiting and daily planning. Terry is a great addition to the staff with a work rate that is second to none, and he will be a great example for our players." Boss and his wife, Jessica, live in Tulsa. He has a USSF B coaching license and USSF goalkeeping license. From the release: "At Tulsa, Boss (2000-04) started in 20 of 23 games, logged 1,920 minutes in goal, picked up 96 saves and six shutouts, and earned a career 1.17 goals-against average. He earned his bachelor's degree in finance in 2004 from TU." Boss has been busy recently. A native of Philomath, Ore., he was a presenter at the Oregon Sports Award on Sunday with his brother, Kevin, and Kasey Keller at Nike headquarters. Comments

CAMP: Valleytronics in two-dimensional crystals
Main Content
In many crystals the Bloch bands have degenerate but inequivalent energy extrema in the momentum space, known as valleys. The valley index constitutes a well-defined discrete degree of freedom for low-energy carriers that may be used to encode information. This has led to the concept of valleytronics, a new type of electronics based on manipulating the valley index of carriers. In this talk, I will describe a general scheme based on inversion symmetry breaking to control the valley index, which is based on the Berry phase effect of massive Dirac electrons. A number of valley-dependent phenomena, such as valley Hall effect, valley-dependent optical selection rule, spin-valley coupling, optical generation of pure valley current, as well as Berry-phase induced energy splitting of valley excitons will be discussed.

text: I'm just a regular guy, I work for a living. I served my country in the US Marine Corps. I thank GOD that I never saw combat but I would have gone anyway. I love my country even though it is not perfect and I may not agree with everything that our president has done but I don't go around calling him a nazi either. It saddens me that there are groups that will say and do the most outrageous things supposedly to bring about "change". I think it has more to do with gaining attention and bringing in donations .

Letters to the Editor
Public not as stupid as president must think
It seems President Barack Obama likes to use the word stupid.
Two years ago, a professor was arrested at his home by a police officer, and Obama called the incident stupid before he had all the facts. He thenheld a "beer summit" at the White House.
At a fundraiser April 14, he made the comment, "You think we're stupid," in reference to repeal of the health care law. Well, the general public is also not stupid. For example:
Obama calls for bipartisan cooperation now that he doesn't control Congress. Yet for two years, he rammed his pet legislation through Congress.
He stated that it was OK for gas prices to increase, and they are. What does he think that will do to the recovery? With the right leadership, we can shed America's dependence on foreign oil and keep our money here.
He talks about the recent budget debate and the severe cuts approved. I'm sorry, but he has not begun to cut. What was cut was mostly low-hanging fruit and fluff. And why did he say nothing about the budget in 2010 when the fiscal year 2011 budget should have been passed?
When is he going to stop spending money that we don't have?
And finally, when is he going to stop blaming previous administrations for the crisis. He has been president for more than two years; it's his problem now.
Does the phrase, "it's the economy, stupid," ring a bell?

"It's nerve-wracking sitting on the sidelines,†Jordan says, as the rest of the House Guests play the HoH competition. The first player to drop 24 cans down their recycle tubes will win the coveted HoH key. It's no surprise who Jordan wants to see win this week—Jeff. "He is the only person in the House I trust right now,†she says. Kevin knows the win is important for him this week, too, since Natalie is his only remaining ally. Russell also sees this win as a "deciding point†in his game, because a win gives him the best chance of getting to the final four. But the HoH competition is not the only thing on Kevin's mind. He is sad that his House bestie, Lydia, has been evicted. Natalie had been trying to orchestrate Russell's departure but, with Lydia gone, this means that she now has to align with people she wouldn't otherwise want to be in business with. Jordan and Russell are both delighted to see drama queen Lydia gone, while Jeff continues to consider the possibility of sending Russell home. Initially, Kevin and Michele are tied with four cans each, followed by Jeff with three, Russell with two and Natalie with one can. Things get more complicated when a sliding board intermittently blocks the cans from being dropped into the tubes below. Jeff concentrates on his "precision,†which is difficult to pull off with Russell next to him. With all his stomping and shaking, Russell makes it harder for Jeff to aim and drop his cans. Even with this handicap, Jeff catches up to Kevin and ties his score with eight cans. Drop 'em Like They're Hot Jordan has an announcement: the two House Guests with the least amount of cans in their tubes at the end of the competition will become the Have-Nots for the week! That puts a fire under Kevin's feet, and soon he is in the lead over his closest competitors, Russell and Jeff. Jordan has another announcement: each House Guest has a shelf containing six gold cans and, if they drop one into their tube successfully, they can pause one of their competitors for sixty seconds. Michele decides not to use them because she doesn't want to make herself a target, but Russell sees the cans as an opportunity. He uses one to stop Kevin. Kevin hopes to use the time to "take a little breather and then still take this home.†Jeff uses the 60 seconds that Kevin is paused to really get into the groove, which only increases when Kevin uses a gold can to stop Russell. With the lack of shaking from Russell, Jeff cruises into the lead. Suddenly, Jeff and Kevin are tied and need only one more can to win the game. Jeff drops his final can and wins Head of Household for the week! Once the cans are tallied, Russell and Michele find out that they are the Have-Nots for the week. Jeff and Jordan are excited, while Kevin and Natalie are worried. Russell admits that he should be happy, but he knows he's a target because he is such a strong competitor. Russell has reason to worry. In the diary room, Jeff reveals that it just may be time for an unexpected move in the game. Later, in the red room, Natalie and Kevin go over just how close Kevin was to winning the HoH Competition. Natalie thinks it sucks for Kevin, but she loves the fact she was able to beat Russell. Kevin says that, if he won, he would be nominating Russell. Natalie suggests that they go to Jeff and Jordan and try to hammer out a final four deal. Natalie says that she and Kevin can sell themselves as loyal as opposed to the sketchy Michele and Russell. Can they pull off such a tight turnaround? Jeff's HoH Suite When everyone finally sees Jeff's suite for the week, most of the House Guests are stunned by his childhood bowl haircuts. Jordan does not think it's a good look, and says that he looks like a character out of the movie Dumb and Dumber. Kevin thinks it is cool to see Jeff at various stages of his hotness. Jeff reads a letter from his parents, and tells the House Guests that he is not scared to be emotional about his mother and father. Jordan likes how close Jeff is to his family, just like she is. "We're like two peas in a pod,†she says. Later that night, Jeff, Jordan and Michele chill on the patio. Jordan brings up the trip to Hawaii that Jeff won in a recent HoH competition, and not so subtly hints she should be his guest. "If I'm there for seven nights I'm not just gonna make out,†Jeff warns Jordan, who has resisted most of his romantic advances thus far. Michele tells Jordan that she's a tease, while Jordan retorts that she just prefers to wait. "Wait until a Hawaiian trip,†Jeff shoots back. Jordan explains that her mother always told her that men think with their penises and not their heads. She believes this 100 percent. She sees herself kissing and cuddling Jeff on the trip, but that's it. "Maybe it will be Jordan,†Jeff says of his Hawaii trip mate. "Who knows?†Jeff's Final Four? A few hours have passed, and Michele and Russell decide to make a pilgrimage up to the HoH Suite to see what Jeff is thinking. Jeff takes the opportunity to ask Russell if he and Michele talked about getting him out. Russell doesn't know it, but Jeff is still operating under the assumption that what Kevin told him last week is true. Of course, it isn't, but Jeff doesn't know that! Russell denies this and asks what would be the advantage of doing that? Jeff says he doesn't know, which is why he is asking. Michele can only say that they chatted about lots of stuff. Jeff says it's obvious that everyone is playing the game, while Russell assures him that he is playing straight with them. After they leave, Jordan tells Jeff that she doesn't trust Russell or Michele at all, and she's inclined to believe Kevin. They decide to go downstairs and confront Russell and Michele again. "Oh boy,†Jeff says, "here go the fireworks.†Out in the yard, Jeff gives Russell the third degree, and he again defends himself. Russell says that he knows that Jeff is a stud in the game and that Russell doesn't stand a chance against him in the finals, but he wants the four of them to get to the end so they all have a 25 percent chance. Jeff grouses that he didn't get the answers he wanted from Russell, and that is definitely going to come into play when he chooses his nominees. The Constant Gardener Besides being HoH, Jeff busies himself by watering the BIG BROTHER garden. Jordan says that she likes to sit back and watch the shirtless Jeff tend the garden, noting that he is her "garden boy.†Kevin enjoys the view as well and claims that, if he needed a gardener, "Jeff would be the type of gardener I'd want mowing my lawn.†After the watering is done, the House Guests come inside to find what foods America has picked for the Have-Nots. A grand display of churros and chitlins greets them in the dining room. While chitlins gross out everyone, Michele is pleased to find the churros, which are pretty good. That night, Jeff, Russell and Natalie play a game of poker. As a poker tourney veteran, Natalie feels that she can school anyone in the house. When Russell wins a game, Natalie complains that he couldn't play like that for real and win money. This annoys Russell, who says that Natalie always has an excuse ready when she loses something. Russell knows that Natalie is one to easily push his buttons, while this incident is a sign to Natalie that Russell has to go. Checking in Again At Russell's urging, Michele goes and checks in with Jeff about the final four plan. Jeff tells her that he and Jordan are on board with Michele and Russell. Jeff later confesses that he told Michele what she wanted to hear but, as HoH, he reserves the right to do what is best for his game. "The decision is mine,†he says. Outside, Michele tells Russell what Jeff said, but Russell isn't buying it. He feels that he could very easily go up this week. Natalie and Kevin Make Their Case Natalie and Kevin make their play for Jeff, telling him that they would be more loyal than the shady Michele and Russell. Natalie and Kevin continue to play up the lie they fabricated about Russell and Michele wanting to get Jeff out of the House as soon as possible, which Jeff continues to buy. Jeff finds the idea of working with Natalie and Kevin intriguing, and tells them that he will put both of them up as pawns to back door Russell. Jeff then makes a beeline to Jordan in the recycle room. He explains what he told Natalie and Kevin, but then wonders if he should just put up Russell and Michele. Jordan says that she wants Russell out now. But can they trust Natalie and Kevin? Time for Nominations Jeff calls everyone into the dining room for the nomination ceremony. He congratulates everyone on making it to the final six before pulling out Russell's key. Michele's key is next, followed by Jordan's. Kevin and Natalie are nominated. Natalie hopes that Russell is walking out the door this week, while Kevin complains that his non-nomination streak has finally come to an end. Russell is excited that he's escaped yet another nomination, but could that all change with the Veto? Find out Tuesday, August 25 at 9pm ET/PT on BIG BROTHER on CBS!

Wearing: Blending In To Blue Chambray
shirt: jcrew factory // vest: jcrew factory // jeans: lucky brand // boots: lucky brand // necklace: jcrew (similar style) // sunglasses: warby parker
If you opened the doors to my closet, you would be met with a sea of blue. I can't help it! I have a thing for any shade of blue and that bodes well when you wake up late and need to get out the door in a hurry. Not that I have that problem. Not at all.
If you happen to be the kind of person who runs short on time (my new duvet is just too cozy!) then invest in a blue chambray shirt. Super comfortable, easy to style with anything, and can be dressed up or dressed down. I have three different ones on rotation. Also since #teacherstyle is casual but professional, chambray works with skirts and dress pants. It's also perfect for when a whole box of cornstarch explodes on you. True story. TGIF.
Don't be blue, you can wear chambray too; different ways to style a classic chambray shirt:
the fall blues // gardener chic // snow day sweater leggings // the blues // cozy like a snow day morning

According to Michael B. Oren, in July 2000 Bill Clinton spent nearly two weeks trying to get Israel's Ehud Barak and the Palestinian's Arafat to come to a peace agreement. Israel finally agreed to give away the farm: 95% of the West Bank, all of Gaza, the eastern half of Jerusalem and part of the Negev. Arafat refused (Oren, Michael B. Power, Faith and Fantasy; America in the Middle East; 1776 to the Present. New York : Norton, 2007, 579).
Palestinian leaders didn't (and still don't) want peace. They want to push the Jews into the Mediterranean Sea. Unless our politicians clearly understand this, we will always be at a disadvantage in negotiation.
One such totally clueless Democrat is Jimmy Carter who is now in the Middle East kissing Hamas terrorists and paying his respects to Arafat's grave!

Clinton, Carter and Hamas

I believe President Carter is basically a good man, who has, over the years, developed a rather high opinion of his own self-worth. Maybe he is continually trying to make ammends for his botched effort as President to free the Iranian hostages. I don't know. But his trips to North Korea (as a negotiator) and his trip to Nicaragua (as an election observer) proved to be counter-productive, at best. I strongly suspect his "Nevil Chamberlain" approach to Hamas will likewise prove futile.

Equality is main goal of county valuations
Staff reporter
Telephones were ringing off the hook this past week, as they are this time every year, at the Marion County Appraiser's office after county residents received their annual property valuations.
County appraiser Cindy Magill already had warned property owners at a recent Marion County Commission meeting that some property values were increasing.
And some did.
Contrary to some beliefs that it is a way for the county to receive more tax revenue, it actually is more complicated than that.
The county appraiser's office is governed by the Kansas Department of Revenue. State statutes are implemented and followed that require the local county appraiser to follow a specific protocol when it comes to determining the fair market value of properties.
Per K.S.A. 79-503a, fair market value is the "amount in terms of money that a well-informed buyer is justified in paying and a well-informed seller is justified in accepting for property in an open and competitive market, assuming that the parties are acting without undue compulsion."
"For residential property, we look at the past three years of sales," Magill explained.
For the 2008 values, which were received by taxpayers this past week, appraiser's office personnel reviewed sales in 2005, 2006, and 2007.
"We compare the age of the homes with the number of rooms and bathrooms, square footage, basement, etc." Magill said. "We compare sales of properties with each other to determine if property values need to increase or decrease."
Through a computer program, the particulars of houses that are sold are compared, processing the sales prices and the values.
Information is obtained from the register of deeds office, including a sales validation questionnaire that is required to accompany all valid property sales — residential and commercial.
For typical sales of properties, the questionnaires are required by state law that divulges information about transactions, including the sale prices of properties. There are exceptions to the questionnaire that include sales between family members, foreclosures, and inheritances.
The sales price data is computed with other comparison information with like properties in the county to help determine fair market values.
Reappraisal began in the 1980s, Magill said, as a result of a railroad company claiming an inequity in property values. Property values at that time were based on 1966 or 1967 values. Through a court hearing, a judge ordered a reappraisal. Since that time, efforts have been made to determine a fair and equal way to appraise residential properties so property owners are taxed in the same manner.
Each year the county appraiser is required to re-inspect 17 percent of county properties. This year, properties in the cities of Peabody and Lincolnville, and townships of Clear Creek, Liberty, Logan, and West Branch were re-inspected.
"Sometimes these inspections can dictate value increases," Magill said, which are based on remodeling and other projects that increase the property value.
Are properties selling?
Despite national trends, Magill said sales in Marion County have remained steady.
"Sales may be slower with properties setting on the market longer than before but sellers are getting more than they originally paid for their properties," Magill said.
In 2007, there was a slight decrease in "true" sales — non-family, foreclosure, etc. — from the year before. There was a total of 462 total sales transactions in 2007 and 528 in 2006.
Reasons for increases
Besides the sales of like-residential properties, other reasons property owners may see an increase in property valuations is when improvements are made on the individual properties.
Those improvements may include the updating of a kitchen or bathroom, and/or installing new windows or central heating and air conditioning units.
"Whatever improvements are made that will enable the buyer to turn around and sell the property for more money can increase the value of a property," Magill said.
County residents are required to acquire a building permit if the footprint of the house is changed.
During the re-inspection process, field appraisers are required to measure at least two sides of each structure to determine if the buildings have been expanded. Interior inspections are not conducted.
Magill said valuations for commercial properties are done differently. Replacement costs in like-condition or income potential through a lease agreement are considerations for property values.
Vacant land values are based on true vacant land sales, Magill said.
Agricultural land is valued by the state and based on use and soil type.
Marion County is not alone in seeing an increase in property values.
"Many counties are experiencing the same increases," Magill said, and cited one Kansas county commission even considering a mill levy decrease to offset property value increases.
Appealing process
Every taxpayer is entitled to a hearing if he thinks his property has been unfairly appraised.
If a taxpayer wants to file an appeal, he must do so within 30 days of receiving the valuation notice in the mail.
An appointment is set for hearing by calling the appraiser's office. When contact is made, the taxpayer will receive a packet of information that includes tips to prepare for a hearing, inventory content sheet, and comparable sales information that determined how county personnel determined the value of the property.
The packets of information are available to any taxpayer who requests it, even if he does not want to appeal the value.
"Our goal is to find equity and to be fair," Magill said.
For more information, call the appraiser's office at (620) 382-3715.

Tomoko Suzuki ( Juri Ueno) is spending her summer in a remedial math class. As her teacher, Ozawa (Naoto Takenaka), continues droning on, Tomoko peers out the side window and notices the schools Brass band gearing up and heading out to support their baseball team. As the bus leaves, the Brass bands catered lunches show up. So Tomoko and the other girls volunteer to take the lunches to the game. While on the way, the girls dine on one of the lunches. When they finally arrive, everyone receives a lunch except dorky Nakamura (Yuta Hiraoka), whose lunch was eaten. Due to a little carelessness from the girls, all the lunches were spoiled due to the heat, and in turn, makes the whole Brass team sick...everyone except Nakamura, who wanted to quit the team anyway. So with the Brass team out, Nakamura holds open auditions to get a new Brass team together, because the school still has to have a band. Tomoko and her friends show up, along with a stream of wannabes, but there are only sixteen of them, making the team far too small to play as a complete Brass band, but just enough for a jazz group. Now that they're together, can Nakamura really teach these girls to play anything?
When an idea as simple as Swing Girls presents itself, there can only be one thing that makes it stand out and that is it's execution. As for Swing Girls, it has a shine and charm that makes it very enjoyable to watch. You get to see the girls come together and learn the music, the instruments and rhythm, make a band and keep the band, all the while feeling like you're on the journey with them. It's not something that feels forced. The girls all take turns with their different traits, the shy one, the boy crazy one, the chubby one and so on, but it really doesn't get in the way or become over played. Swing Girls just turns into a story about the girls themselves and their love for the music. So just smile, laugh and enjoy the simple, yet entertaining ride that happens when these girls discover the beauty in jazz. (Converter)

Schooling & Subjects
Posted on August 14, 2017 in articles about art
Yeats, thinker, as soon as said, Education will not be the filling of the pail, but the lighting of the fire (www.quotations ). Lecturers are the important thing to our kidss future, they are those who will ignite their love for learning. In a 2003 report, "The Complete Curriculum: Guaranteeing a Place for the Arts and Foreign Languages in American's Colleges," a examine group from the Nationwide Association of State Boards of Training famous that a considerable body of analysis highlights the advantages of arts in curriculum and known as for stronger emphasis on the humanities and foreign languages.
Practically each school now provides at least some arts instruction and cultural programming, yet in 2007-08, only 45 percent of elementary colleges and 33 p.c of middle faculties provided education in all 4 required art kinds, in keeping with an analysis by the New York City Division of Schooling , and solely 34 p.c of high faculties supplied college students the opportunity to exceed the minimal commencement requirement.
From the Nineteen Sixties, art historical past underwent an unlimited expansion, particularly throughout the academy, as, for instance, artwork historical past departments have been established at the new universities (together with the Universities of East Anglia, Essex and Sussex), at polytechnics (akin to Middlesex) and other establishments of higher and further schooling.
In a very unique examine combining a number of visible, music, motion, and expressive writing modalities, Garland et al. 102 examined the positive outcomes of a pair of psychosocial interventions aimed at cancer patients, mindfulness and therapeutic arts, with respect to posttraumatic progress, religious effectively-being, stress, and mood.
There is additionally evidence that use of artwork and music reduces hospital stays, with studies showing earlier discharges among patients collaborating in visible and performing arts interventions than among those not doing so. sixty nine , 70 In 1 research, surgery or important care patients who participated in guided imagery or had a picture of a landscape on their wall had a decreased want of narcotic pain remedy relative to their counterparts and left the hospital earlier.

Woman arrested in mobile home fire; 8-year-old girl died
The Associated Press
December 24, 2018 06:35 AM
SUNLAND PARK, N.M. (AP) - Sunland Park police have arrested a 30-year-old woman on multiple charges stemming from a mobile home fire in which an 8-year-old girl was killed.
Jocelyn Ontiveros was booked into the Dona Ana County jail Friday night on suspicion of multiple charges, including arson with intent to commit a violent felony and child abuse resulting in death.
Ontiveros' arrest stems from the Dec. 13 fire in which Marisa Munoz was killed and two other children were hospitalized with burns.
New Mexico State Fire Marshal investigators found evidence the fire was set intentionally.
Court records don't list an attorney for Ontiveros who could comment on the allegations.

Love can be the only thing which can teach you in your life many things which you can't learn from anywhere else.
It can teach you both aspects of life GIVE & TAKE.
Greater is one who gives & doesn't tell any other about his givings.
It will give a lots of pain in your heart which can't get cured from any medicine.
The medicine of time also can't fill up this wound.
One will get relief after his death only.
A hole in which one should never fall.
Anything can get well with period of time but a broken HEART can never.

Assessing the effectiveness of intervention strategies for mitigating drought effects in Kenya's pastoral livelihood: case of Garissa county
Sahal, HA
MetadataShow full item record
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the intervention strategies for mitigating drought in Kenya's pastoral livelihood, case of Garissa County: so as to document the best mitigation practices which can be employed in other similar climatic livelihood zones. Five research objectives were formulated to guide the study. The study applied descriptive survey research and administered questioners to collect data from the sampled cluster comprising of 20 government officials, 20 NGOs officials and 10 community chairpersons. Data was then analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The research findings revealed that the drought effects mitigation intervention strategies assessed under this research are effective. Based on the findings of the study, it was concluded that destocking influenCed drought mitigation in livestock among the pastoral communities. Destocking is Carried out by both the government and NGOs in the area. The destocking carried out was rated as effective by most of the respondents in the study. The destocking benefited the community since it was able to salvage animals. The study also concluded that veterinary interventions had influence the mitigation of drought on livestock in Garissa County. The community received drugs, vaccination and treatment of animals; they also received Para-Veterinary services to ensure the livestock did not die of diseases. The veterinary and provision of drugs services were rated as effective by the government and NGO officials who are the service providers. This study also contions that water provision influenced mitigation of drought on livestock based pastoral livelihood. However, from the research data water provision is inadequate. The community leaders reflected overcroWding in water sources as the major challenge during drought. Supplementary livestock feeding as well influenced mitigation of drought on livestock. From the data for example the government provided financial resources for supplementary feeding during drought. The cornmunities also participate in complementing supplementary feeding through preservation of hay and other alternative feeding approaches.

A personal Christmas gift
This past year, I've spent a lot of time reflecting on life, trying to figure out where I fit in and what my purpose is. I think we all go through that process from time to time and it's a good time to look at what we've been blessed with, appreciate what we have and think about how we can be better.
Last Christmas, I watched as my sister and her family all struggled with the thought of losing her brother in law. He was in his 30's and had been diagnosed with cancer. They weren't sure if he would make it through Christmas and it was such a hard and sad time for them. My heart hurt for all of them! He was married and had a teenage daughter and some younger kids. I can't imagine the heartache and emotions they were dealing with.
He was determined not to let it get him down and pushed through for his family until after the first of the year.
Get your handmade holiday started by joining our 12 weeks of Christmas crochet blog hop!
Hey there! Thank you for joining my blog here at Crafting Friends Designs. Grab your hook, some yarn and get comfy as we crochet some fun, unique and beautiful projects together.

Dai Francis
Vocalist Dai Francis, a former principal member of the hugely popular television programme The Black and White Minstrel Show, was best known for his solo renditions of songs by US perfomer Al Jolson.
Born into Welsh mining stock in Swansea, South Wales on February 23, 1928, Dai was tutored into minstrel type singing at an early age as his father knew over 200 Dixieland songs.
As a boy Dai was already 'blacking up' and taking part in jazz band processions at village carnivals. At 14 he began work for the National Coal Board, where he was employed as a wages clerk serving several collieries in the Neath Valley. In 1946 National Service called and Dai joined the RAF and was stationed at Gloucester. While there, Dai continued with his minstrel interest by singing and playing trumpet in the station band. His fellow service man Barry Took once complimented Dai as "being the ace in every pack" when it came to presenting RAF shows.
After perserving with his Jolson act in the forces Dai appeared in a Carroll Levis Talent contest in Cheltenham. This resulted in him being placed in a tourist show called Zuyder Zee, where he met his wife Elsie Monks, who was the Hammond organist in the same show. They later married in 1952 and had a daughter, Cheryl Maria.
Dai went to London after deciding that if no entertainment work was forthcoming within two weeks there he would return to his native Welsh Valley to continue working at the colliery. In the event Dai landed a residency at the famous Pigalle Restaurant, appearing as the featured vocalist with Woolf Phillips Band. About this time Dai met George Mitchell, which resulted in him being chosen as principal soloist with George Mitchell Glee Club for a period of two years.
In 1957 Dai performed with Mitchell's Minstrels in a one-off special entitled the 1957 Television Minstrels at the Radio and TV Exhibition at Earls Court, which led to the television debut of The Black and White Minstrel Show in June 1958. Featuring the three lead singers Dai, John Boulter and Tony Mercer, the show included song and dance routines, with medleys from America's deep South, or of country and western origin. It became enormously successful, averaging an audience of 16 million, winning the prestigious Montreaux Golden Rose award in Cannes in 1961 and remaining on air for more than two decades.
A stage production of the show at Victoria Palace proved equally popular. From 1962-72, with a break of only a few months, more than 6,500 performances were given. Two of these were Royal Command Shows.
Dai's tribute to Al Jolson was a highlight of the show and he became established as Britain's foremost Jolson impressionist. After the show was taken off air in 1978, Dai filled the title role in The Jolson Show for the summer season at Great Yarmouth in 1984.
In his own right Dai has starred in variety, pantomimes and summer season at home and abroad. More recently he appeared regularly in Bournemouth and Eastbourne. His last summer season was in Scarborough in 1994 at the Opera House.
In 1999 Dai's health began to deteriorate and after a spell in hospital he decided to leave his house in Esher and retire to Eastbourne to be near close friends.
He died peacefully, aged 75, on November 27 in the Conquest Hospital Hastings, with his partner Rita by his side.

So, I'm building a plastic model of a Humvee similar to the one used by the Hunters in The Last Of Us. It's not the exact same, as the Hunter Humvee is a mix of real-life variants. It's based off of this, a 1/35 scale plastic kit by Academy. In this scale, a person would be about 1.5 inches tall.
This model is fairly easy to build, but it's not for a beginner. There are ejector marks (how the parts trees are removed from the mold) all over the place, that's why you see green dots (auto body filler) on most parts. The fit of some parts is not great, so it's hard to tell exactly where some of them go. The fit of the hood to the body is especially bad, and I had to do a lot of filing to make it fit right. The detail on the shock absorbers is ra…

Overall, I would have to say that the story of The Last of Us is pretty awesome. There are just a few minor things about it that drive me nuts.
- The lack of motorcycles. Motorcycles have been pretty much ignored by post-apocalyptic fiction, except for The Stand and Falling Skies.
- When Bill tells Joel that he can get gas out of abandoned cars. The stuff that they make now degrades after a year, so it wouldn't work after 20. Not even old-formula gas would hold up that long.
How did David's group eat human flesh and not get kuru?Never mind, Klock101 explained that there has only been one documented case of kuru. Didn't Joel know that chickory can be used as a coffee substitute?Apparently, chickory only enhances the flavor, it doesn't have any caffeine i…
Everyone check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doteMqP6eSc It's for a new short film called Ruin. I can see some similarities with this game. Any thoughts or observations? I know that there are some innacuracies with the motorcycle; it's a customized Harley V-Rod, by the way.Read more >

DeConcini Federal Court, a criminal, not immigration, court (1:30-3:00)
Magistrate Bernardo Velasco
U.S. Federal Prosecutor: Weiss
Two Public Defenders
Samaritans: Roland, Judy & Scott Van Es, Sara Busey, Two Tucson Samaritans,
Visitors: a large group of Tucson high school students from Teen Court.
Of the 70 migrants today, 7 were dismissed without criminal charges to return to their country as they could not comprehend either English or Spanish. Twenty-six migrants were first time crossers and forty-four re-entry. The former were convicted of a criminal misdemeanor and released to return to their country. The re-entry migrants were also convicted of a criminal misdemeanor and will spend 1335 days in mainly private prisons at a cost to taxpayers of $214,935. A majority were from Mexico, 12 from Guatemala, six from Honduras and one from El Salvador. Most crossed near Sasabe.
Celestino Reyes-Martinez (18-20054MP) is a diabetic. Attorney Geuenevere Nelson-Melby said Border Patrol took his pills at his apprehension and he needed to take them that day. Velasco said he would instruct the Marshalls to see that he gets his medicine.
Cristobal Garcia-Mancia (18-20039M) requested asylum. According to his attorney Nelson-Melby, Cristobal's brother was murdered in Honduras and he has a credible fear of returning there. She plans to give him an asylum packet from the Florence Project and send a letter to Immigration alerting them that he needs an asylum interview after he completes his 75 day sentence.
Magistrate Velasco spoke to our small group after the short court session:
Asylum: It is very difficult to get. No one crosses the border bringing witnesses. The US is required to seek specific witnesses and information about each asylum seeker, but because Immigration is a civil court, the migrant is not eligible for a pro bono lawyer. Only those with financial resources can afford to hire their own.
Medical Issues: The Marshalls have been known to not accept any migrant with serious medical problems when the bus brings them from Border Patrol head quarters the morning of OS. Velasco said treating the migrant may be more expensive than the Marshalls want to spend and they send him back to Border Patrol to pay.
Prosecutor's Discretion: Velasco said the Border Patrol has migrant's records and has the discretion to decide where they go after apprehension: released at the border, to Immigration for deportation, to flip-flop courts to be tried or to Operation Streamline. Using guidelines, they assign the number of days each migrant must spend in prison. At OS, the federal prosecutor may, and often does, change the sentence, especially when OS lawyers plead for shorter sentences for their clients.
Who goes to Streamline? If the felony courts are backed up, a migrant may go to OS instead. Two of today's migrants probably should have gone to flip-flop court. One had a charge of 8 USC 1326 (b)(1) which meant he had a serious prior conviction eligible for 10 years in prison. Another had an 8 USC 1325(1)(2) charge which qualified him for 20 years. The charges may have been old or the felony courts may have been full. They were lucky, said Velasco.
Immigration Reform: It is badly needed—one that comprehensively looks at all current conditions and future consequences. But when we do legislate a better immigration system, it will have a strong security component. We have the latter now, not the former. Today "tough on security" is popular. Even a candidate in Texas running for civil court who will only deal with divorce law, uses that as a call for support.

Your account
Whether you're on a monthly contract or SIM only, you'll usually be agreeing to a data allowance each month. If you go over that data limit you could be hit with extra charges. Understanding how much data you need is key...
Data is the information you send or receive when you use the internet. Whenever you access the internet on your phone, you're using your mobile data allowance.
Mobile data packages are usually sold in bundles of megabytes (MB) or gigabytes (GB). How much you need depends on your usage. One MB is 1,000 kilobytes (KB) and 1GB is made up of 1,000 MB.
Whether you're on Facebook, sending an email or downloading an app, it all adds up. But by how much? To give you an idea of how much everyday tasks eat into your data allowance, here are some examples:
Users tend to be classed in one of three groups.
Most network providers let you see how much data you've used via customer-account apps. Check these out to discover how much data you use each month or contact them to ask.
The number of mobile customers paying too much for their phone contracts is huge. 74% of people can save an average of £172 a year on their bills according to Billmonitor, a website company that analyses customer bills and offers the best deal according to usage. They claim that mobile phone networks overcharged UK businesses and consumers approximately £7.6bn last year.
Most people want protection from expensive extra charges from mobile phone operators, which kick in when they go over their data allowance.
As well as getting the right data allowance for your phone, here's some advice to avoid those nasty extra charges if you're not on an unlimited package:

Streamlined or personal?
What is it that makes a wine feel personal, as if it has a special character? It really has nothing to do with the price. Sometimes I get the impression that some winemakers have magic fingers. Or is it simply a question of good soil and micro climate, and clement weather? Having the right technology and technique?
Winemakers often speak about all the small details that are important to make the wine taste as it should. But there is no simple recipe for how to make a wine with character. Two growers can have totally different methods and yet both will get characterful and expressive wines. While other neighbours make streamlined unexciting wines.
We met many winemakers in Champagne recently when we were doing research for our forthcoming book (keep your eyes open). Some said "you can't age a wine with zero dosage [added sugar]". Others said " I make my champagnes non-dosé [no added sugar] because that makes them more long-lived". The exact same things were said about with and without malolactic fermentation. And in both cases the result was excellent.
Fortunately there are buyers for all sorts of wine, so variety is a good thing. And perhaps not all consumers agree on what is a characterful wine. For some certain traits can be off-putting whereas others go looking for exactly that. Who is right? Both.
We drink a lot of wine from the Languedoc and the southern Rhône Valley. It is rarely the top cuvées that are the most interesting, but rather the cheaper, "simpler" wines. Perhaps not the entry level, but the mid-register, before it goes to "prestige". The wines that have been spared too much new oak and too much Syrah (which does not always work well here). Where instead carignan, grenache, and cinsault get to prove their worth. Grapes that are well-adapted to the region. Luckily more and more producers go looking for old, almost forgotten, varieties. That is often where the unique characters can be found.
Sometimes winemakers say that "it is easy to make a super-premium, prestige cuvée". Very low yields, high concentration, lots of oak etc. That makes for impressive wines, but not always pleasurable.
But it is more difficult to make a really good and interesting "normal" wine.
The best answer is probably what also many winemakers say: "I want that when you taste my wine you will want to finish the whole bottle, not just taste a glass and say 'wow, impressive' and then leave the bottle to the side because it was overwhelming".
Wine that you really want to drink, in other words!
Wine travel
Finally a few words on travel. We are just about to leave for this year's first wine tour, to Chile and Argentina. Later this spring there are still some spaces available on the Bordeaux tour.
We have just finished the autumn program where we have a few new things: Alentejo in Portugal, and Piedmont in Italy. Plus of course Bordeaux and the Douro Valley. More info below.

I would love to see a dark chocolate recipe that uses sunflower lecithin....mostly for measurement purposes....not to repeat someone else's recipe. I would be ultra grateful for any info on using this ingredient. My purpose is to improve fluidity and absorb some atmospheric moisture. (I live on a coastline that is normally around 90% humidity indoors and out.
Comments (1)
No. 1-1
@[Luminous Culture -
Most recipes that use lecithin call for no more than about 0.05% (one-half of one percent) lecithin in the recipe. How much you need will depend on how much fat is naturally occurring in the bean and how much (if any added cocoa butter is in the recipe). There is no real difference between soy, sunflower, and canola (rapeseed lecithin) in practice though some products have a distinctive taste.
If you are having humidity problems - are you looking to solve it environmentally using a dehumidifier? Either standalone or as a part of cooling the space you're in?

About 2 months ago, I released a song called "Pride and Ego" which addressed the behavior of a number of aspiring artists in the NYC underground circuit. It also was a blanket statement to all artists who act 'Hollywood.' So, what is Hollywood? Acting Hollywood is acting full of yourself, putting yourself on a pedestal, blowing off your peers, etc. Someone will get a little buzz and begin to act Hollywood. This is my theory as to why there aren't more NYC hip-hop artists who are making major moves in the music industry. There are the movements (Rebel Diaz, Brown Bag All Stars, etc) that are the exceptions and they're, of course, doing well. Of course, I'm only speaking of my experience but I see this Hollywood behavior a lot. Many folks don't realize that they are hindering their chances of reaching their goal by their behavior.
For example, there are many artists that I know with little buzz who have managers. Most of these managers do little for the artist and also provide these artists with less control over themselves. For a minor showcase, people will say "speak to my manager" to the booker and the manager handles something the artist can easily handle. Its' funny because this same manager will give the green light to these showcases that have the "record executive" that turns out to be an intern.
The moral of the story: we need to act less Hollywood and more humble
Until next time…

Rutledge filed a consumer-protection lawsuit on March 23 in Pulaski County Circuit Court against Treatsie, LLC and its owners, Keith Hoelzeman and Jamie Walden.
Rutledge alleges Treatsie continued to sell and advertise monthly, quarterly and yearly subscriptions for their gourmet candy boxes, but failed to deliver hundreds of the boxes or, in some cases, delivered the orders months late.
