Blur Midlife: A Beginner's Guide to Blur
Published Jul 23, 2009Celebrating both a 20th anniversary and a full reunion this year, Blur have compiled the requisite career-spanning retrospective to remind fans that they were the quintessential British band of the '90s. As the subtitle says, it's "a beginner's guide," not another "best of," meaning it's a celebration of Blur's music the way they see fit to present. Across the two discs are the obvious singles, underrated album tracks and even a few surprises. Missing are hits "There's No Other Way," "End of a Century" and "Crazy Beat," and in their place are examples of what made Blur such a commercial paradox. Alongside the publicly adored "Girls and Boys" and "Song 2" are wonderful examples of their art school upbringings: the beautifully melancholic "Sing," the overzealous "Advert" and wonky noise experiment "Trimm Trabb." More than anything, Midlife gives newcomers a better sense of why Blur were one of pop music's more sophisticated bands, thanks to the fertile characters drawn from Damon Albarn's imagination and Graham Coxon's fundamental guitar strokes. Unfortunately, if you have all of the albums Midlife is nothing more than a keepsake for collectors. But for younger generations, this is an excellent primer for, hopefully, more to come.

Post subject: The NFL power rankings for week 4 present a double bonus.
You have the Titans rising in the rankings while the Jaguars are falling. A lot of people had crowned them after beating the Patriots. Heck
Youth Ben Jones Jersey
, I moved them all the way up to 2 in my rankings. This week they are all the way down to 8...not in the contender range.The Titans are up to 12 for me. They will break into the top 10 next week if they can pull off a third straight upset this week against the Eagles. My week 4 NFL power rankings:Los Angeles Rams (LW:1)Philadelphia Eagles (LW:3)Kansas City Chiefs (LW:6)New Orleans Saints (LW:10)Carolina Panthers (LW:12)Minnesota Vikings (LW:4)Green Bay Packers (LW:5)Jacksonville Jaguars (LW:2) duvaLLL!New England Patriots (LW:7)Pittsburgh Steelers (LW:8)Atlanta Falcons (LW:9)Tennessee Titans (LW:15)Los Angeles Chargers (LW:11)Cincinnati Bengals (LW:13)Chicago Bears (LW:14)Baltimore Ravens (LW:19)Miami Dolphins (LW:21)Denver Broncos (LW:16)Tampa Bay Buccaneers (LW:18)New York Giants (LW:24)Cleveland Browns (LW:25)Washington Redskins (LW:29)Detroit Lions (LW:27)Seattle Seahawks (LW:28)San Francisco 49ers (LW:17)Dallas Cowboys (LW:22)Indianapolis Colts (LW:23)Houston Texans (LW:20)New York Jets (LW:26)Buffalo Bills (LW:32)Arizona Cardinals (LW:30)Oakland Raiders (LW:31)Here are where the Titans are ranked around the web:SB Nation: 18 (LW:21)USA Today (where they dont watch the games apparently): 20 (LW:19)ESPN: 20 (LW:20)Titans lose Marcus Mariota, Delanie Walker and Taylor Lewan to injuries in loss to Dolphins I felt so good about things this morning. I even took the Titans in a survivor pool that I was in. Good thing it was a free one on FanDuel. Anyway, after the longest game in NFL history the Titans are 0-1 and lost 3 of their best players to injury.
The one that will have the most long-term ramifications on this team this season is the injury to Delanie Walker. You can watch it here
, but fair warning, it isnt for the squeamish. He will go to IR.Taylor Lewan was knocked out of the game on this play. Is that legal? Sure doesnt seem like it should be in the same game where Malcolm Butler got an unnecessary roughness penalty for tackling a guy. He obviously had a concussion. We will have to see how he progresses through the protocol this week.Marcus Mariota did something to his elbow. Unfortunately, he just cannot stay on the field. We have no idea at this point what he did to his elbow or how serious it is. Blaine Gabbert came in and did what Blaine Gabbert does. If you have watched him you know exactly what that means.Welp
Tajae Sharpe Jersey
, this is not how I was expecting to feel after the opener. I have no idea what the rest of this season holds. As I said this morning, you cannot get too high or too low on the teams based on what happens in week 1, but man it is hard to not adjust the wins I was expecting from this team down a tick or two based on what the team looked like today...and the fact that Delanie is going to be gone for a long time
Authentic Ryan Succop Jersey
, if not the whole season.

Complex laboratory modeling of the transfer processes between atmosphere and ocean in the boundary layers
The main quantitative characteristics of atmosphere and ocean turbulent exchange are fluxes of momentum, heat and moisture. These fluxes play an important role in many aspects of meteorological and oceanographic research, including climate modeling, weather forecasting, modeling of boundary-layer processes etc. Turbulent exchange of energy and momentum between the ocean surfaces and the atmosphere to a large extent controls the energy and water cycle and general circulation of the ocean and the atmosphere. The most important characteristics that determine the interaction between the atmosphere and the ocean are flows of momentum, heat and moisture. For their parameterization the dimensionless exchange coefficients (the surface drag coefficient Cd and the heat transfer coefficient or the Stanton number Сh) are used. The purpose of this study is the investigation of the effect of surface waves and foam on the turbulent exchange of momentum and heat within the laboratory experiment, when the wind and wave parameters are maintained and controlled. The effect of spray on turbulent exchange at stormy and hurricane winds is also estimated.
Laboratory modeling provides unique possibilities for investigations these processes for a wide range of wind and roughness parameters.
A series of experiments to study the processes of turbulent exchange of momentum and heat in a stably stratified temperature turbulent boundary layer air flow over the waved water surface was carried out at the High Speed Wind - Wave Stratified flume of IAP RAS (length 10 м, cross section of air channel 0.4 m by 0.4 m). The peculiarity of this experiment was the option to change the surface wave parameters regardless of the speed of the wind flow in the channel. For this purpose a polyethylene net (0.25 mm thick and a cell of 1.6 mm by1.6mm) has been stretched along the channel. The net does not affect the heat exchange, but the characteristics of surface waves depended on the position of the net: the waves were absent when the net was located at the level of the undisturbed water surface, and had maximum amplitude at the maximum depth of the net (33cm). To create a stable temperature stratification of the wind, the air entering the flume was heated to 30-40 degrees. The temperature of the water surface was maintained constant about 15 degrees. The air flow velocity in the flume corresponded to the 10-m wind speed from 10 to 35 m/s. The turbulent fluxes of heat and momentum were retrieved from the velocity and temperature profiles measured with Pitot and hotfilm gauges at the distance 6.5 m from the inlet of the flume and subsequent data processing exploiting the self-similarity of the temperature and velocity profiles. As a result the surface drag and heat exchange coefficients as well as roughness parameters were obtained. Wind wave spectra and integral parameters (significant wave height, mean square slope) were retrieved from measurements by a 3-channel array wave gauge by coherent spectral data processing. To estimate the amount of spray in the air flow, as pray marker was introduced using the effect of a sharp decline in hot film readings in contact with a droplet.
The dependences of the exchange coefficients on the winds speed, the wave parameters and spray marker were obtained. It is shown that the exchange coefficients increase with the wind speed and wave height. It was found, that a sharp increase of the drag and heat exchange coefficients at wind speeds exceeding 25m/s was accompanied by the emergence and increasing concentration of the spray in the air flow over water. The correlation coefficient between the drag coefficient and the spray marker was about 0.75.
The effect of foam presence on the transfer processes and the parameters of the surface roughness within the laboratory simulation of wind-wave interaction was also studied, using a specially designed foam generator. The parameters of air flow profiles and waves elevation were measured with scanning Pitot gauge and wire wave gauges respectively in the range of equivalent wind speed U10 from 12 to 38 m/s (covering strong winds) on the clean water and with foam. It was shown that the foam reduces the amplitudes and slopes of the waves in comparison with the clean water in the hole range of wind speeds investigated, and the peak frequency and wave numbers remain almost constant. The drag coefficient calculating by profiling method demonstrated similar behavior (almost independent on U10 for the strong winds) for case of foam and increased compared with clear water, particularly noticeable for low wind speeds. Simultaneously the investigations of influence of the foam on the peculiarity of the microwave radio back scattering of X-diapason was investigated. These measurements were carried for different sensing angles (30, 40 50 degrees from vertical) and for four polarizations: co-polarized HH and VV, and de-polarized HV and VH. It was shown that foam leads to decrease of specific radar cross section of the wavy surface in comparison with clean water.

With former player Todd at the helm, Barracudas off to one of best starts in school history.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH — Shatawna Todd, a New Smyrna Beach graduate, takes her volleyball program's turnaround to heart.
"I bleed red and black ... this is my life," Todd said. "These girls are my life, and I want nothing but the best for them and for them to succeed."
After years of struggling, the Barracudas are off to one of the best starts in school history.
New Smyrna Beach has opened the season with 11 consecutive victories. Perhaps more impressively, the Barracudas have won 33 out of 34 sets.
Senior Molly Day believes the team's on-court communication has been one of the keys to early season success.
"We've been talking it up on the court," Day said. "If there's no communication, there's slight chance of us winning and pulling through it."
The Barracudas entered the season with an experienced group of players coming off a 16-7 record. Day, Grace Crawford and Rachel Powers combined for 625 kills last season. Amelia Morey contributed 50 aces.
This season has been no different.
Entering Thursday, the power-hitting trio had notched 228 kills. Morey leads the team in assists. Four players, headlined by Delaney Freeman, have at least 20 aces.
"Everyone's doing their part on the court, knowing their position and doing their job," Todd said. "(We have been) playing consistent."
Perhaps the greatest achievement for NSB was a four-set road victory at Spruce Creek, a place where the 'Cudas had not won in more than two decades.
Despite dropping its only set of the season, NSB was thrilled to finally beat its rival.
"Nothing's better than beating Spruce Creek," said Todd, who was unsuccessful in three trips to Port Orange as a player. "When that happened, it was very special. It was huge."
The Barracudas prepare for a busy week ahead, featuring a district road game at Matanzas and home tests against both University and Seabreeze.
Last year, University swept two head-to-head meetings with New Smyrna Beach, taking all six sets.
Will the Barracudas remain unbeaten through another week? That remains to be seen. But, at least one player believes the best is yet to come.
"The exciting part is that we don't know how good we are," Crawford said. "These seniors, we've been together as long as we've been playing volleyball so we're going out with a bang."

text: October 2017 a movement began. Women and others began speaking out by using #MeToo in order to show just how many individuals have been affected by sexual assault. A Tweet on Sunday by Alyssa Milano read; If all the women who have been sexually harassed or assaulted wrote 'Me too' as a status, we might give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem", by Monday morning the hash tag had been used more than 200,000 times. On October 5th, the New York Times released an expose with claims of sexual harassment against Harvey Weinstein Over the years dozens of women have accused Weinstein of sexual harassment and rape, and today he finally faced charges for his crimes. The Manhattan DA's office charged Weinstein with first - and third-degree rape, as well as committing a criminal sexual act in the first-degree. The charges were filed as a result of two specific cases, one from 2013 and the other 2004. One case is allegedly from allegations form Lucia Evans, who says Weinstein forced her to perform oral sex on him in his Tribeca office. The name of the rape victim has not been released, and the grad jury expects there will be testimony from more women. Weinstein's attorney, Benjamin Brafman, issued a statement regarding the plea; "Mr. Weinstein has always maintained that he has never engaged in non-consensual sexual behavior with anyone. Nothing about today's proceedings changes Mr. Weinstein's position. He has entered a plea of not guilty and fully expects to be exonerated". This is progress for the #MeToo as many women have come forward and many men have stepped down form their positions of power but Weinstein is the first to be brought up on charges.

As you might be aware, a lot of people choose synthetic rattan furniture for conservatories since it's durable and appealing. These attributes make synthetic rattan items perfect for different areas in your yard and house. In reality, as soon as you start considering all of the gorgeous items which are produced from synthetic rattan, you're very likely to find dozens of uses for this kind of furniture. To get more info about rattan chair you may visit http://ncoutdoorthai.com/.
Artificial Rattan Furniture for The Home and Yard
If you believed synthetic rattan furniture has been perfect for a conservatory, you'll be really delighted with its capability to resist the rigors of being at a totally exterior atmosphere. At precisely the exact same time, a wicker couch chair or table will always be a lot more appealing than the plastic one.
You're also very likely to discover that wicker furniture is very comfy. Unlike vinyl furniture, you may always find decorative pieces which have attractive pillow and cushions. With no doubt, if you put in a synthetic rattan sofa on your own porch, you're guaranteed to discover it will be much more comfortable than a traditional sofa seat.
Dayroom and Function Rooms
When you reside in a home which has a number of men and women, you're certain to discover that the dayroom will constantly suffer with the effects of high traffic volumes. Because of this, you might not wish to put decent quality sofas, tables, or other furniture within the room. On the flip side, you will not need to purchase cheap items which will seem drab or unsightly.

Donor, Dad, or…? Young Adults with Lesbian Parents' Experiences with Known Donors
By Abbie E. Goldberg, Katherine R. Allen
May 2013
Research suggests children of lesbian parents are satisfied with their current level of contact with their male donors. This study sheds light on how children are contributing to the redefinition and reconstruction of complex kinship arrangements. Participants in the study perceived their relationships with their male donors as strictly donors and not members of their family; as extended family members, but not as parents; and as fathers.Read more

An estimated 39 percent of individuals in same-sex couples with children under age 18 at home are non-white, as are half of their children. States with the highest proportions of same-sex couples raising biological, adopted or step-children include Mississippi (26%), Wyoming (25%), Alaska (23%), Idaho (22%), and Montana (22%).Read more
Adolescents with Lesbian Mothers Describe Their Own Lives
By Nanette Gartrell, Henny Bos H, Heidi Peyser, et al.
November 2012
Teens with lesbian mothers are academically successful and happy with their lives. These adolescents had strong family bonds, and they were nearly unanimous in describing their mothers as good role models. They also reported having numerous close friends—generally with same-age peers who were predominantly heterosexual. Teenagers were asked a series of questions about their everyday life experiences including academics, extracurricular activities, aspirations, friendships, family interactions, role models, health problems and wellbeing.Read more
Gender-Typed Play Behavior in Early Childhood: Adopted Children with Lesbian, Gay, and Heterosexual Parents
By Abbie E. Goldberg, Deborah A. Kashy, JuliAnna Z. Smith
October 2012
A study of young children of first-time adoptive parents found that the children of same-gender parents were less gender stereotyped in their play behavior than the children of heterosexual parents, which may translate to strengths that aid them later in life. How parents play, and what kinds of toys they let their kids play with, can affect child development. In the study, the children of same-gender parents were found to engage in more flexible play behavior, thus facilitating their ability to engage in a wide range of behaviors and activities.Read more

As it has now been established that you're suffering from diabetes, making a few adjustments to your habits can allow you to live a wholesome life. Diabetes is a disease which affects the glucose production within the body. It is a condition that is caused when blood sugar levels within the body becomes too high and can affect people of all ages. Type 1 Diabetes is very different from type two diabetes.
In case you have diabetes, you are more inclined to develop a rare glaucoma called neovascular glaucoma. There are a number of ways it is possible to see to your diabetes and the most common to eat a healthful diet. Type 1 diabetes depends on insulin intake, whereas type two diabetes isn't.
Blood test is the most commonly used test and is thought of as quite accurate. The blood test has to be carried out using good technique and the blood glucose meter must be correctly calibrated. The very first blood test is performed on the patients blood when he's fasting. Typically, a 2-hour postprandial blood glucose test is utilised to measure the standard levels two hours after eating a meal.
To assist you, there are many methods to lessen blood glucose levels. As a woman the very first thing you ought to do is to look at your blood glucose levels to determine if your levels are high in the very first spot. The blood glucose level is the quantity of glucose content in blood. Fasting blood glucose levels for men ought to be no different than they are for ladies. Normal blood glucose levels for men are not any different than they are for ladies.
With both conditions, the secret is to control your blood glucose levels. As soon as your blood glucose levels return to normal your pancreas is subsequently signaled to quit producing insulin because blood glucose levels which are too low are another issue. Abnormal blood glucose levels can negatively affect a lot of the bodys systems and functions.
Folks can control their blood glucose levels regularly according madhunashini Vati. How regulating blood glucose levels will be able to help you get rid of weight faster First off, as mentioned before, protein keeps the blood glucose levels stable and helps to stop more hunger and cravings. It should be checked regularly to avoid the consequences. The high blood glucose levels can get the lens inside your eye to swell, which provides a blurry vision effect. If you do indeed have high blood glucose levels then you have to take steps to lower blood glucose levels to prevent more damage to your entire body and a worsening of your affliction.

Game: part 9
I've had this one in my head for awhile. Possibly because of that, it went really quickly when I sat down to draw it.
That was a good thing, for I am phenomenally busy this month. I started a second job (hooray MONEY!... boo free time) I did two logo designs (hooray commission work!... boo free time) and I'm preparing for a big jewelry show at the end of July, so I'm making chainmail until my arms fall off. (hooray professional acknowledgment/money!...boo free time.)
Unfortunately, as all of the above is for pay, the blog is sort of my last priority right now. And no, I'm not about to beg for money. I'm not that desperate yet.
Hopefully, there will be no interruption of the blogular service you've come to enjoy. But if there is, take heart: things will be back to normal by the end of the month. They'll have to be. I'm running out of sleep-credit to pay off my sleep-deficit.

Section-1 of Tehran-North Freeway to Come on Stream in Summer
EghtesadOnline: The construction of Section-1 of the Tehran-North Freeway has made about 96% progress and the project is expected to come on stream in summer, the governor general of Tehran Province said.
"Section-1 is 32 kilometers long, which is nearly 60 kilometers shorter than the current route. This section of the freeway connects Tehran to the western cities of Mazandaran Province in the north," Mohammad Hossein Moqimi was also quoted as saying by IRNA on Sunday.
Preliminary plans to implement the freeway project, which consists of four sections spanning a total of 121 kilometers, were proposed about 20 years ago. The route is to connect Tehran to the city of Chalous in northern Mazandaran.
Sections 2 and 3 pass through mountainous terrain, are not easily accessible and will take longer to complete, according to Financial Tribune.
Iran's Islamic Revolution Mostazafan Foundation and China Railway Academy Company signed a memorandum of understanding in Beijing on Jan. 24 for the financing and construction management of the project's Section-3.
As per the MoU, the two sides are to survey different aspects and details of the project within five months and sign a contract if they reach an agreement.
Section-4, which is 20 kilometers long and connects Marzanabad in Kelardasht District to Chalous (both in Mazandaran), was inaugurated in March 2014, but closed later due to technical problems.
Mohammad Saeedikia, the head of Mostazafan Foundation, said last year that the protracted project will fully come on stream by March 2023.

Spider-Man's nemesis Venom is to appear in his own standalone film, due in cinemas in October next year.
Variety reports that the enemy of Marvel's web-slinging superhero will be brought to the big screen by Sony Pictures. There's no word on who will play the sharp-fanged villain, but screenwriters Scott Rosenberg (High Fidelity) and Jeff Pinkner (The Amazing Spider-Man 2) will write the script. The film will be released on 5 October.
Venom first appeared in the Spider-Man comics in 1988. An alien symbiote, the creature requires a human host to survive. The character was initially conceived as a supervillain but has since become an antihero in the manner of Deadpool, who appeared in his own film adaptation in 2016.
A Venom movie has long been rumoured. In 2008, Variety reported that a spin-off was in development, with Gary Ross (The Hunger Games) in talks to direct. However, the project stalled. Sony, which now owns the film rights to the Spider-Man franchise, is said to be keen to expand the Spider-Man universe in the same way that Marvel has with The Avengers. Sony has also been interested in making a film featuring a collection of Spider-Man villains in the manner of Suicide Squad.
Meanwhile, Sony is refreshing Spider-Man himself. This summer will see the release of Spider-Man Homecoming, a new reboot starring Tom Holland that will focus on the superhero's high-school years. Holland is the third actor to don Spider-Man's red and blue costume in recent years, after Tobey Maguire, who played him in a trilogy of films between 2002-2007, and Andrew Garfield, who appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014).
Venom has appeared in film before. He was the primary antagonist in Spider-Man 3 and made a brief cameo in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Moms, I'm here to tell you from experience.... life is short, time flies. I know you will come up with 27 reasons why you don't want to be in front of the lens or why the timing is'nt right to get those pictures taken. I'm here to tell you NOBODY is ever going to look back and regret getting TOO many pictures and moments captured!!
Your children will not remember how flabby skin on your tummy squished out over your jeans, or how you spent days trying to find a flowy top to hide it. They wont even think about why you wore those leggings for basically 7 months straight. They want the images that spark the memories of moments, to flood back to the warmth of your embrace, how your skin felt as you held them, how you sounded as you read those bedtime stories or how silly you made the car rides with those songs. You won't remember the sleepless nights, the constant spills or tantrums. You will want the images that spark the memories of those kicks you felt in your tummy while anxiously awaiting your bundle, that newborn flaky skin and fresh baby smell, the big gummy smile all the way up to them walking across the stage at graduation or that moment she walks down the aisle and your heart is racing. We want to capture images for you that take you Right. Back There.
Consider booking a mom and me session WE DO THESE YEAR ROUND..any ages, include grandmas too!!

Use Barbell Bulgarian Hack Squats and Lunges To Crush Your Quads, Glutes, and Hamstrings
Dr. Joel Seedman, Ph.D.
Over the past several months I've showcased several variations of the barbell hack lunge and split squat describing why it's such an effective lower body lunge movement. Fortunately the same principles can be applied to the Bulgarian squat making it one of the most physically demanding yet growth inducing lower body exercises you can perform. Here's one of my national level NPC figure athletes Leslie Petch demonstrating it with a brief eccentric isometric pause in the stretched position.
This specific hack barbell loading protocol (with the legs straddled over the barbell) provides several benefits.
1. These force balance and stability to be spot on as any deviation will make it very difficult to re-gain your balance without having to drop the bar. In fact most of my athletes find hack lunges and hack Bulgarian squats to be the most difficult variations of the stride pattern to maintain balance and stability on. As a byproduct the feet and ankles must work overtime resulting in greater neural drive and recruitment up the kinetic chain particularly in the hips and legs. This is one of the reasons why you'll experience metabolic stress and hydrogen ion buildup (burn/lactic acid accumulation) almost immediately.
2. The barbell Bulgarian hack squat/lunge keeps constant tension on the muscles. That's because the lifter will be unable to lock out the movement by going too far at the top as the bar hits the legs towards the top end of the movement. Many lifters use the top of the lunge to release tension and provide temporary rest for their lower body. This also results in overextending the lumbar spine at the top and losing core tightness and spinal stability. The hack variations of Bulgarian squats and lunges provide an immediate remedy for this.
3. The barbell Bulgarian hack squat teaches proper stride mechanics and hip activation as the straddled position with the bar hanging between the legs teaches individuals to lean over slightly with the hips set back. In fact a proper Bulgarian squat and lunge involves a significant hip hinge and forward lean throughout. By keeping the hips set back this helps to eliminate anterior forward knee drift. This represents optimal mechanics for any Bulgarian squat or lunge. Unfortunately most individuals perform lunges and Bulgarian split squats with excessively upright mechanics. The barbell hack variations of split squats helps to resolve this almost immediately.
4. Finally having the bar directly under the center of gravity absolutely crushes the glutes. If you've never tried this you'll be stunned at the level of constant intramuscular tension and burn you'll feel in your entire posterior chain as well as the quads.
As usual you'll also notice I have my client performing these in an eccentric isometric fashion to improve body mechanics, enhance kinesthetic awareness, and aid in proprioceptive feedback.
Won't the Smaller Range of Motion Sacrifice Size?
The smaller range of motion used during the Bulgarian hack squat and hack lunge will not compromise strength and size gains. In fact keeping contact tension by staying in the bottom half of the movement only is one of the most effective techniques you can use to elicit strength and hypertrophy in the lower body as you're essentially staying in a semi stretched position the entire time (constant eccentric overload) which produces incredible levels of muscle damage for maximal growth.
Also anytime a lifter begins to fatigue on Bulgarian squats they will inevitably rest in the top position not the bottom as the top regardless of how hard you squeeze the muscle provides very little tension to the targeted musculature. With this movement there's simply no rest for the targeted musculature. That's one of the reasons this exercise produces incredibly high levels of metabolic stress and mechanical tension both of which further trigger hypertrophy gains.
Finally this variation eliminates momentum as you can't power your way through to the top by relying on rapid motions. Instead the lifter is forced to slow the movement down and minimize momentum to stay locked into the bottom. Balance and stability are also heavily taxed by staying in the bottom half particularly when holding a barbell. Finally, emphasizing the bottom half does wonders for improving mobility and stability due to the fact that the stretch is emphasized while maintaining high levels of motor control. As a result this does wonders for improving joint health and quality of movement.

Arithmetic Series
The sum of an indicated number of terms in a sequence is called a series. The series obtained by adding the terms of an arithmetic progression is called an arithmetic series.
For example, the sum of the first seven terms of the sequence is the series,
The above series is also called the partial sum of the sequence .
If the number of terms in a series is finite, then the series is called a finite series, while a series consisting of an unlimited number of terms is known as an infinite series.

We are having a snow storm, so I won't be uncovering the yard and letting the girls out today. I went out a little later than usual this morning with the daily scratch and cleaning implements. I could see immediately that the gals had been busy. There were four eggs in nesting boxes, the area in the northwest corner had been scratched down to shavings for dust baths, and the straw around the door was beaten flat by big chicken feet.
While I unbolted and unclipped the door, I could hear them inside scolding and making excited "give me scratch" noises. Their dear beady little eyes dilated when they saw the other object I carried: baked pumpkin in the half shell! I put it in a white plastic tray I keep in the coop for serving such delicacies and put it down among them. They fell to at once, greedily slurping up the squash.
This distraction gave me time to clean under the roosts and clear the water font of waterlogged feed crumbs. It wasn't long before a couple of the girls were looking for scratch and tugging at my trousers with their naughty beaks.
This is my cue to throw some scratch (a couple handfuls each of oats and cracked corn) into the straw/hay and wood shaving bedding that covers the floor of the coop. The girls will spend a good part of the afternoon pecking every atom of corn they can find, and it takes them a little extra time to hull the oats before eating the kernel.
The bedding itself is also a source of nutrition and distraction for the gals. I occasionally put a few flakes of seedy hay or straw in for them to tear apart. They eat the weed and oat seeds, mummified bugs, and green parts of the grasses. What is left breaks down and insulates them from the cold floor of the coop during extreme winter weather. When the bedding becomes really poopy and chopped up, I use it as a carbon layer for my winter compost system, which makes room for fresh bedding and the cycle begins again.
I sometimes bring them a treat of a few crumbled bread heels while they are out in their yard. They will seek out every crumb, digging very energetically. They are such energetic diggers that I don't feed bread in the coop because they kick up geysers of bedding and dust, totally fouling (ha!) their water.
I leave a little bit of scratch in the plastic coffee container and turn it so that the scratch falls into the handle. The hollow handle is too small for them to get their heads trapped in, (this might not be the case if your birds are a bantam or smaller variety, so be careful), but it does trap some of whatever dry treat I put in it. It acts as a kind of chicken Kong, making them work to get that last bit of feed out. It is quite entertaining to watch them scratch and knock the container around the yard or coop, excited by the delicious rattling sounds.
Sometimes I will put a handful of dry feed into a brightly colored Frisbee disk. They seem to like the contrasting colors and the tapping noises their beaks make on the hard plastic. Our first chicken, The Budge, enjoyed the larger bright, crinkly Mylar ball cat toys. She was a tiny hen and would push them all around her portable coop. My present flock of big birds were absolutely terrified of the same type of toy! (We always make sure we never put any nonfood item in with the chickens that they can pick apart and swallow.)
I also have a large, square suet feeder that I fill with cabbage and hang in their coop from time to time. It swings around as they peck, and they have to calculate the swing of the cage in order to feed. A new suet feeder is pretty cheap. I wouldn't advise using a used suet feeder; wild birds carry a ton of viral diseases that you wouldn't want to pass on to your flock.
You're probably thinking that my hens are some of the most spoiled chickens in the United States of America. You may be right. They are working pets that give me eggs and manure for My Little Farm in Town. I figure that the least I can do is give them a good chicken life. Begonia

Offering a very good seasonal performance for Hertha Berlin, Serbian international midfielder Marko Grujic (22), playing for German club as a loanee, from Liverpool, is being pondered over by Hertha leaders for a new seasonal course together. While Reds are unlikely to discuss a full-basis move, at the time at least, a new season-long loan might be arranged, after which Premier League giants might make him again part of the main plan.

Outdated equality laws must be strengthened to meet Australia's human rights obligations under international law/
Australia's anti-discrimination laws must be amended to comply with international human rights standards and contribute to a fairer, healthier, more inclusive and prosperous community. In a major submission to the Commonwealth Attorney-General, who is reviewing the laws, the Human Rights Law Centre has called for the Government to use this critical opportunity to address gaps in the laws and strengthen existing protections.
The HRLC's Director of Policy and Campaigns, Rachel Ball, said there are a number of federal anti-discrimination laws in Australia and the Government's decision to consolidate them into a single Act should be welcomed. However, Ms Ball warned that without updating the substance of the laws being consolidated, existing flaws would continue to hamper Australia's efforts to eliminate discrimination and continue to put Australia in breach of international law.
"There's not much point if the process is simply going to result in all the old outdated laws being rolled into a 'new' Act. This opportunity to weed out existing problems should be used to also modernise and strengthen Australia's equality laws to ensure they meet our international human rights obligations," Ms Ball said.
The HRLC urges the Government to make certain the new Act includes a positive duty to eliminate discrimination and promote equality, similar to the current laws in Victoria and the United Kingdom.
"To create a society free from discrimination, you need your equality laws to be proactive. So as well as providing more accessible and user-friendly remedies for individual cases of discrimination, laws needs to adress structural inequalities if they are to bring about substantive equality," Ms Ball said.
Specifically, the HRLC recommends equipping the Australian Human Rights Commission with investigative and compliance powers allowing the commission to issue compliance notices to organizations and enter binding agreements with them.
The HRLC's submission builds a case for expanding protections to cover all areas of public life and additional attributes, including a person's status as homeless or a victim of domestic violence.
"Research has shown that discrimination is a major causal factor of homelessness and can systematically exclude people from access to goods, services, the justice system, health care, employment and housing. This is something that improved equality laws could help to address," Ms Ball said.
The HRLC also calls on the Federal Government to reconsider its position regarding permanent exemptions for specific areas of public life – including the exemption for religious organisations which the Government has indicated it will not be altering.
"Current exemptions for religious bodies are arbitrary and outdated. Religious bodies should not be above the law, yet current laws effectively give them a free license to discriminate. This needs to be overhauled," Ms Ball said.
The submission provides an overview of how existing technical and legal barriers to the elimination of discrimination could be removed. For example, sharing the burden of proof between a person making a complaint and the respondent along with reforming the problematic comparative tests for discrimination, would make equality law more accessible and therefore tangible for general members of the public.
The Government is due to release an exposure draft of the legislation soon.

To do a job right, sometimes you need to believe in yourself. And never has that been truer than with Samir Carruthers.
The 23-year-old is quickly becoming one of the first names on Karl Robinson's team sheet as his tenacious attitude and heart-on-his-sleeve style can single-handedly drag Dons into the attacking third.
Particularly away from stadium:mk, Carruthers has taken centre stage in the middle of the park as he looks to get his side onto the front foot, bringing the best out of Josh Murphy and Rob Hall in recent weeks while shying away from the headlines himself.
Stepping into the enormous shoes left by Dele Alli hasn't been easy for the former Aston Villa man. Having struggled with confidence and form early this season, Carruthers found himself in and out of the side as Darren Potter and Diego Poyet made the central midfield zone their own. But without an attacking mind in there, Dons were often stifled, and Carruthers has become more of a regular feature again.
While he does give the ball away, and yells an outburst of child-like frustration when he does so, his manager believes it is what sets him apart and could see him play in the top flight.
Robinson said: "Sometimes his errors are his own downfall because of how hard he tries. I don't mind that.
"Samir never makes an error like the errors we were making on Saturday before he came on. Samir is fantastic. He could go for millions."
While few doubt his footballing ability, it's his mental game that needs the most nurturing. Scoring just four times in his 60-odd appearances for the club hasn't had the Cowshed roaring his name with much gusto, but his impact, ironically, is felt more now when he isn't there - take the game at Sixfields on Saturday as a case in point.
Given a driving force in midfield when Carruthers was introduced on the hour mark, Dons were the better side after going 2-1 down to Ricky Holmes' second of the afternoon against Northampton.
But without constant reassurance, Robinson feels his midfield maverick can lose his way, both on and off the field and is the key in his own downfall.
"Samir is weak mentally," Robinson explained. "I don't think he realises how good he can be. But he needs to believe in that. If he believes in himself as much as I believe in him, he'll play in the Premier League.
"He's a top, top player. He doesn't get as much recognition from that fans as he should. He puts his body on the line, and he comes off a physical mess. He gives us everything he can. I haven't seen a player put as much into our shirt as he does.
"He needs the support from the fans because he's on the crest of being a top player. But if he doesn't believe it, he won't achieve his goals. I have to make him believe he's the best."

Review: Pretty in Plaid by Jen Lancaster
Title: Pretty in Plaid: A Life, a Witch, and a Wardrobe, or the Wonder Years Before the Condescending, Egomaniacal, Self-Centered Smart-Ass Phase
Author: Jen Lancaster
Genre: Nonfiction Memoir/Essay; 384 pages
Publication Date: May 5, 2009
Publisher: National American Library (NAL)
Rating: 4 Bookmarks
If you're anything like me, you have a Santa Claus-sized ledger in which you record book titles that other bloggers recommend. If this is the case, please add Jen Lancaster's Pretty in Plaid to the top of the 'Nice' list.
Lancaster has been likened to "David Sedaris with pearls and a supercute handbag", and her latest memoir weaves a hilarious retrospective highlighting fashion highs and lows over the last four decades. Entire essays are devoted to size-5 Jordache jeans, odious Brownie uniforms, and the edgier Girl Scout uniforms. (I donned both and can attest to the faux pas that was the Brownie Beanie.)
Lancaster takes the mundane and spins it into a giant, literary confection of equal parts humor, hubris, and habiliment. This book should come with a Surgeon General's Warning printed on it–Reading this book should be done only in private and may induce:
- laughing until your mascara runs down your face in twin, black rivers
- laughing until you snort (Swine flu be damned!)
- laughing yourself into a wheezy, cartoonish fit
- laughing yourself into hyperventilation (as your husband frantically dials 9-1-1 for help)
Maybe you're in need of a good laugh or you've been meaning to pick up some nonfiction for a reading challenge–either way, here's the perfect vehicle!
Lest you think I'm being paid to write such a glowing review, I will say that the book starts off with a few missives I wasn't barking mad about. Additionally, the footnotes may get a bit tedious for some readers–having to glance down two or three times on one page–but beyond those minor quibbles, this book has already become one of my favorites.
You can catch Jen on her nation-wide book tour, kicking off tomorrow. She'll be in New York on Thursday and I hope to be there (with pearls on). Thanks to Kate and Melissa for the galley!

Sounds like a great read! I'm definitely going to add it to my To Read list. Thanks! 🙂

This sounds like it could be a fun read. But every time I see the cover it bugs me because those socks are not plaid, they're argyle!!

I am always looking for a book that will make me laugh out loud. I will definitely add this to my Santa Claus-sized ledger of TBR books!

Already on my list, but moving up it as I write.
First, thank you for the Megan McCafferty series giveaway. I never win anything! This book sounds like it could really make me laugh. I don't read very much non-fiction but I'm starting today. Off to Amazom to order it. Thank you again!!

This sounds like fun – great review! I'll obey and put it at the top of my "To read" list! 😛 It definitely needs more fun books, I've been on a thrillers and paranormal books buying spree lately.

Great review! I can't wait to get around to this one!
Jen Lancaster has such an easy sense of humour, and her books are always of the laugh-out-loud-and-embarrass-yourself-on-your-commute types. She has caused many snorts and guffaws in my group of friends, and we find ourselves quoting the Jen-isms regularly!
Bright Lights, Big Ass was definitely my favourite, and the first Jen-ography that I read. I'm looking forward Pretty in Plaid, despite my dislike for the 80's!!! She's that good 😉
Omigod Jen Lancaster's Bitch is the New Black was the best book I read in 2007. HILARIOUS. Love that she's spotlighted here.

I had never heard of Jen Lancaster until I started book blogging and I just got "Bitter Is the New Black." I think she will be good match for me and I'm sure I'll be picking this one up too! : )
At 2009.05.06 14:04, Citizen Reader said:
Oh, gosh, I wonder if I should give Lancaster another try. For some reason her "New Black" book annoyed the crap out of me, but maybe I was just in the wrong mood when I read it.
Great review!

The footnotes are my favorite part! They remind me of the missives I wrote in college (letters to my poor unsuspecting friends and family) where I would launch into lengthy asides to explain things. More likely they were just tangents of my random mind, and on more than on occassion a whole page would end up inside ( ) .

I love Jen Lancaster and can't wait to read this one.
At 2009.05.07 22:17, Rebecca said:
I have this one on my TBR list, as is Bitter is the New Black. I look forward to getting them and devouring them!

I agree. A fun, whirlwindy read. Jen Lancaster isn't bitter so much as acerbic, which is A-OK with me. Especially since she's funny as heck.
My biggest criticism is that the sartorial theme is a little wispy, disappears almost entirely for the middle of the book but is reasserted, rather clumsily, towards the end. Lancaster and her editor lost focus and crammed for the final. It might have been better to have abandoned the clothing conceit and draped some other motif over the proceedings.
Also? Melissa, not only are the argyle socks on the cover, but the pattern is a design element for the chapter headings. From the body of the text, Ms. Lancaster definitely knows the difference between argyle and plaid and has worn her share of both. Blame that one on the book designer and JL probably not having enough clout (yet) to nix it.

Alright we gave a little bit of extra time since we barely put this kit up yesterday. There were 313 followers when we posted the link information for the kit. Whoo Hoo! So now here are your instructions on how to go and get this great kit if you were one of those 313. There was some confusion last time we gave a free kit away to the followers so I will see if I can explain it better this time so everyone who wants it can go and get it.

People We've Met: Danielle
by Anjelica Jardiel
Sometimes you meet someone and you're at equal but opposite crossroads. Danielle Burgess and I met in New York City through mutual friends and decided to spend a day together when we were both in Los Angeles. She had just started to make a home for herself there, and I was helping my mother move from my childhood home. Over time, this shoot became about going through changes and synchronicity. In our separate but equal transformations, we were fortunate enough to cross paths. This is Danielle, new in town, photographed as I'm leaving town.
Name: Danielle Burgess
Age: 26
Occupation: Actress, Model
Tell us about your hometown.
I was born in New Braunfels, a town between Austin and San Antonio in South Texas. I spent the rest of my time at home between Oklahoma and Texas.
Where do you live now?
I have just recently moved to Los Angeles. It's so magical, falling in love with a new city—like the right lover, it's all new, but you feel as if you've known it all along at the same time.
What are you currently doing with your life?
I am an actress. That's my primary pursuit at the moment. I model from time to time as well. I write, and am currently working on a poetry book and a few scripts. I also sing, play, and write music. I was a dancer growing up, and still take class—it feeds me, it feels so fucking good to express so fully! My newest (and most expensive) hobby is film photography. I love to paint and draw, it's super therapeutic. I have the tendency to try to make everything into a "career". I struggle with perfectionist tendencies—as many of us do— and have this idea I have to be the best at everything. I'm working on releasing that as much as I can. That pursuit of perfection blocks the joy of it, the pleasure of the process. So it's finding the balance. Striving to push myself, reaching towards a certain standard, but remembering everything can really just be fun too.
What inspires you and makes you feel?
I feel that click when a new, bigger perspective comes into focus. Especially when it's a very tangible sensation in my body—sensation drives me. Magic, kismet, synchronicity—those moments that affirm the feeling that I'm in the right place at the right time. I love spending time with people I love, meeting new people, having really meaningful and challenging conversations, feeling open and present with others, and creating with like-minded people.
What has been your biggest victory?
I like to think of life as a series of small victories that add up. Any time I am able to break a pattern or cycle, make a new choice, a conscious one rather than a reactive one, that's the biggest victory to me.
What's your favorite place in the world you've been?
England and Ireland. The veil feels very thin there.
Where are you dying to go?
Everywhere! Really, as soon as I start to plan a trip somewhere, I get distracted and end up researching about 15 other places. I've always kept extensive lists of countries, and all the cities and towns within them I want to visit.
What do you think the world needs now more than ever?
Love. Consciousness. Tolerance. Compassion. For others, and for ourselves too. There's a lot to say on the subject, but I think it is that simple in a way.
What are you most grateful for?
The present. The past that has led me to the present. The promise of the future. The many beautiful, loving, inspiring people I know. The infinite possibilities of experience in the world.
What is "beauty" to you?
There are so many incarnations of it. I am a lover of things glamorous, sensual, and pleasurable. I'm a big proponent of creature comforts, But beauty really is all about perspective. Anything can be beautiful if you look at it from the right angle.
What do you say to yourself to stay optimistic and encouraged?
I remind myself to breathe, to drink water, and that this, too, shall pass.

Hi Carole,
Hope your holidays are turning out nice & Christmas/New Year's will also be a blessed time for you & your family.
Here are a few pictures of the dogs they are getting their Christmas cut next week so right now they look pretty hairy & I will only let my groomer cut so much off because with winter @ the back door I hate for them to shiver but they really do need it…I brush them but when we go for walks on trails they get everything in their fur…Hey hope all is well with you & your family…& Schnauzer family too J
Jazz has put on some weight because the lady that walked them has moved to Florida & I only have a girlfriend that comes to walk twice a week then on the weekends I try to do the walking on nice weather days…I think the first of the year I am going to do a weight management food on her but she loves to eat & I don't want to stop her from enjoying anything so we will see… I was hoping the walking would keep her weight down because I don't want her to get any heavier!
They still have access to the doggie door during the day so that helps…Well, enjoy the pictures I was going to try a video if it's not too big…

Certified, official, gonna be foster parents, apparently.
My stepfather found our blog by Googling so:
1) Pretty sure that means we are famous
2) I guess it is time to share the blog with family and friends
I mean, like 3 or 4 people have read it already so we are well on our way to going viral but maybe we'll circulate the link just in case our peeps are not on the cutting edge of blog coolness and haven't heard about us yet.
Also, the more I think about the blog, the more I like the idea of someday being able to share all these thoughts and adventures and misadventures with a somewhat grown up foster wee.

RockSolid MAX = Efficiency
RockSolid MAX® POS software is specifically for hardware, home centers, and convenience lumber operations. Learn how it improves the work day for every team member.
I provide top-notch customer service at point of sale because of RockSolid MAX™
With RockSolid MAX, I check out customers quickly because I can:
- Easily find established customers in our system
- Quickly process items by scanning, entering SKUs, looking up or importing
- Create template transactions to build future orders, speeding up check-out
- Email or electronically fax transaction receipts to customers
- Process charge-backs and track rebates right at the counter
- Set up delivery when sale is made
The checkout counter is where I can provide customers that extra level of service. I like going the extra mile to help customers with special orders, set up delivery, or look up past invoices. Our system makes it easy since it stores every transaction and links all associated documents. RockSolid MAX lets me do what I'm best at—serving customers!
Taking physical inventory is a whole lot easier with RockSolid MAX®
We used to close the store in order to do cycle counts on paper, and then we manually changed the quantities for each item in our database. Now, when we do a full inventory, all we have to do is go out on the floor, scan the items and enter quantities into the system. And we don't need to close the store to do it! RockSolid MAX gives us the tools to stock the right amount inventory all year long:
- Tight integration with vendors making purchasing easy and fast
- Automated ordering saves time
- Order stock based on the previous POs
- Special orders are simple and seamless
- Improve accuracy by reconciling shipment charges on receipt
- Leverage vendor catalogs with item images
Since inventory is much easier, I can spend more time with my customers and on growing my business!
Using RockSolid MAX®, Invoicing takes less than half the time it used to!
It used to require an entire morning to print invoices, stuff envelopes, apply postage, and mail. Now we're done in two hours! We can efficiently manage the receivables process because RockSolid MAX lets us:
- Email statements and invoices, saving on photocopies and postage
- Track customer payment/purchase history
- View information in real-time
- Automatically allocate payments to the proper account
Today I'm back out on the floor helping customers and selling merchandise in a couple of hours rather than losing half a day stuffing envelopes, and the company spends far less on paper and postage. RockSolid MAX is a winner in my book!
With RockSolid MAX® we use data, not guesstimates, to place purchase orders
Before we switched to RockSolid MAX, I would have to visually count what we had on hand to see what we needed or go with my gut feel. That set us up for lots of errors. It would take hours to put together an order—I'd have to count what we had, figure out what we needed, look up the pricing and then call it all in. RockSolid MAX has improved our ordering because it:
- Tracks inventory in real-time, eliminating guesswork for purchasing
- Automatically sets re-orders based on the previous history
- Electronically interfaces with most major wholesalers and suppliers, making ordering seamless
- Emails POs to supplier, creating a paper trail for our records
- Easily rectifies wrong deliveries and other potential issues
It's given us a much better idea of what's selling and what's just gathering dust on the shelves. Our buying and overall purchasing processes are so much more efficient and profitable with RockSolid MAX!
Using the RockSolid MAX® business management software, we can focus on growing the business, not running software
We've got customers to serve and a business to run; RockSolid MAX helps us operate smoothly with tools like:
- Inventory tracking and management so we stock the right amount of product all year long
- Built-in accounts receivable that automatically creates invoices from purchase orders and emails them to the customer
- A document management system that provides easy access to contracts, orders, customer information, and more, and makes any transaction easily retrievable
Additionally, RockSolid MAX software for hardware stores has helped us reduce costs by eliminating manual tasks and redundant data entry. We can also mail invoices directly from the system, which saves a lot in both time and paper. RockSolid MAX gives us insight into our workflow, inventory, and financials. We now make better decisions based on real-time data and our business works smarter overall.
The best thing is that we manage our entire business using one software. RockSolid MAX has not only improved our business, it's given us our lives back!

In mid February I attended the 21st Century Learning Conference at West Island School in Hong Kong. It was a well run and well patronized conference designed for teachers and school leaders. Everything from dig tools for school leaders, to changing learning dynamics, to examples teachers could take to their classrooms was showcased.
Keynote speakers were Stephen Heppell and David Warlick. As can be seen from the following quotes, they are very much into the changing dynamics of learning and teaching:
Keynote speakers were Stephen Heppell and David Warlick. As can be seen from the following quotes, they are very much into the changing dynamics of learning and teaching:
- "our business should be making students future ready …. Not about the shoulders but the team" (David Warlick)
- "21stC learning is about value of questions asked and accepting failure as part of the process… purpose of school too often to not get caught being wrong" (DW)
- "21stC teacher must be a master learner" (DW)
- " problem of /met before' learning; only good for 'met before problems'" (Stephen Heppell)
- "assessment is now about whether it works or not" (SH)
- "there is no cap on how far children can go" (SH)
- School visits which enabled comparison to approaches in comparable schools
- 10 Tech Tools PD session by Tim Carroll (Vice Principal of Show Tin College) who reported on a Moodle-based pd approach to Web 2 tool use for teacher development
- Stephen Heppell's report on his BVA (Being Very Afraid) student annual showcasing of student digital work.
- The opportunity to present to and discuss with the Leadership stream on Strengthening the 21st Century Learning Fabric in a school. See a webcast intro here
- David Warlick's keynote on new relationships with content points to need to move beyond traditional perceptions of content value
- Importance of maintaining and progressing student voice and active involvement in digital learning and IB curriculum
- Schools at a wide variance re 1:1 laptops. No "best way". Should be seen a journey towards an undisclosed future. But inevitable that new relationships, requirements and opportunities for valued learning are appearing and will appear as journey proceeds
- Consideration of Specialist and Generalist teaching / learning spaces. Are 1:1 a general tool or incorporating specialist tools. If latter, where does teacher specialisation come from? Is there a need for dedicated technology spaces with specialist teachers?

Every day, the Rich Hill R-IV Transportation Department delivers students safely to and from school and to school activities. Today, the Missouri Department of Transportation has delivered the news that all buses in the Rich Hill School Fleet have passed inspection and are certified as safe to operate and safe for students.
This could not have happened without the hard work and due diligence of a few of Rich Hill R-IV's finest employees. Our school route bus drivers–Threasa Coonce, Paula Coonce, Susan Kelly, and Brenda Diehl don't just drive the buses. They inspect them daily in pre- and post-trip routines which ensure safety and maintenance needs are met. Our trip drivers–Rayanne Swarnes and Wendell Jones–also do those inspections. Our bus mechanic, Kenny Kassner, is excellent at his job and keeps the buses running (among his other maintenance duties). Brian Gillis, our transportation director, has done will in that job in his first year.
