Day one of training is in the books - Four teams:
Chris and Dan: teaching youth (ages 15-20) who come from a nominal Christian people group in a nearby state. They had 24 in attendance today.
Suzanne and Matt: teaching leaders/new believers from a low cast Hindu people group who are the "tea pluckers" of this country. They had 40 in attendance.
Lynda/Jeana/Casie: teaching female believers from a tribal people group who live in bamboo huts on stilts. There were 25 in attendance today. We worshiped with one of their churches yesterday. Many experiencing persecution for their faith.
Brian and Ryan: teaching believers (many new) coming in from a long train ride; all from a Muslim background. There were 25 in attendance today.
Perhaps the highlight of the day was baptizing 9 of our students, 7 from one group and 2 from another.
The material we are presenting is quite a challenge for these students. They are excited and eager to learn, and yet learning these stories, plus the discover Bible study, is not easy. All have homework tonight and will have to present in the morning. Please pray for their strength.
Here's our prayer:
Like that Matthew 13:31-32 parable of the Mustard Seed, that through the teaching of the Word of God, this seed of the kingdom would grow and grow, to spread throughout this land. There are multitudes of unreached people groups here. So many have never heard the gospel, let alone the name of Jesus. One man who was baptized today is the only believer in his entire district.
Would you join us in that Mustard Seed prayer? The Word of God is living and active. May He use it to equip his saints and build His church.
Thank you.

Organisers of the 2019 Sungold Field Days offers a freebie first
For the first time in its 38 year history, organisers of the 2019 Field Days are offering freebies in a bid to draw newcomers to the annual three-day event.
Free entry on Wednesday and free daily parking at the Allansford site are hoped will attract community members through the gates in their droves.
Field Days chairman Tony Rea said this year's event would also include a full entertainment program for all three days.
"Entertainment will include a music stage with local talent Michael Ferguson, Kayla Dwyer and Ben Cross," he said.
"The Western District Axemen are returning by popular demand with wood chopping demonstrations three times a day in the food court.
"On our cooking stage you can learn how to prepare your favourite dishes from the Pavilion Cafe with local chef Chris Considine presenting daily, along with Mornington Penninsula chef Tim Hollands."
Mr Rea said this year's program would showcase the regions' agricultural talents.
"Over the years the Sungold Field Days has grown to become one of Victoria's premier agricultural events and we are proud to showcase such a vast range of agricultural machinery and the latest in dairy innovations," he said.
"The Western District of Victoria and South East South Australia have just experienced one of the best seasons ever.
"It is wonderful how nature works.
"Hay, silage, dairy, beef and sheep have had a great year.
"Thank goodness we live in this wonderful area of this great country Australia."
A positive season should offer a new sense of confidence within the farming industry, Mr Rea said.
"Farmers should be optimistic about the future and always be on the lookout for new technology that may assist their farming enterprise, many of which can be found at this event," he said.
"Our service industries are always there to support agriculture and the Field Days is a perfect opportunity for industry suppliers to speak directly with the farmers local to the region."
Field Days will be held February 13 to 15.
A free shuttle bus is available from Warrnambool's Lava Street bus stop and Visitors Centre daily.
The event will include a fundraising dinner at the Lady Bay Resort on Thursday with guest speaker Kenyan boxer Brian Agina and Warrnambool coach Rudy Ryan.
Proceeds from the dinner will go to the Leila Rose Foundation, raising funds to support local children battling rare childhood cancers.
Field Days is held behind Cheeseworld in Allansford.

"It is more fitting for a man to laugh at life than to lament over it."
Sometimes, you just have to laugh at the absurdity of it all. You can prepare, plan and strategise all you want – life throws you curveballs again, and again, and again. It always will. In a universe governed by entropy and decay, why expect order?
I'm not saying nihilism or apathy is the answer, though. We must take responsibility for what we can, do everything in our power to prepare, and move ourselves closer to our goals. But, when it all goes tits up – you just have to laugh. It's better than crying about how unfair the universe is, or wallowing in your misery.
Humour is one of the most valuable tools we have in the face of overwhelming odds. We're social animals: we've evolved this incredible coping mechanism over millions of years. The evidence is all around us: jokes exist across all cultures. Laughing has been empirically proven to reverse the harmful impact of stress on our bodies.
Just think about the young men in the trenches of Belgium in WW1, laughing and cracking jokes amongst themselves in the most horrific conditions, while death rained down upon them, as an example of this at it's extremes.
Do you have a fraction of their courage? Can you laugh in the face of your problems, refuse to let them overwhelm you – and forge on regardless?

It's Raining Data: How AccuWeather Drives Business Insights
It's no secret that weather plays an influential role in consumer behavior. Realizing this fact, businesses are increasingly turning to companies like AccuWeather for customized weather forecasts, data analytics, and other reporting to make more informed business decisions. In fact, the weather forecasting systems market is projected to reach $1.9 billion by 2020.
Furthermore, studies show that companies that deliver optimal customer experiences see consumers who increase their spending. Here, Rosemary Yeilding Radich, manager of business intelligence at AccuWeather, discussed growing uses of weather data and business intelligence trends with 1to1 Media Senior Writer Judith Aquino.
1to1 Media: How does AccuWeather collect data for its global weather database?
Rosemary Yeilding Radich: We have a team at AccuWeather that's dedicated to seeking out the most high quality data sources around the globe. There's temperature, precipitation, wind speed, sunshine, and things people don't think of like humidity that we know impact consumers. We want to get as much data as we can, but it has to be data that's meaningful and high quality. We also have extensive processes to check and validate the data to make sure what we're ingesting is high quality data.
What makes the data high quality?
It has to have a high level of granularity. There's a lot of emphasis on hyper local information. People want information that doesn't just cover an entire state or zip code. They want information that's granular and specific to them. Also, when we're looking at different types of data sources, there's a big difference between data from a government weather system versus crowdsourced measurements of rainfall. When looking at crowdsourced data there are a lot of techniques we can use to aggregate the data and make sure it's high quality and give us an accurate representation of what's going on.
How quickly can AccuWeather help a marketer change an ad as the weather changes?
We have a lot of clients in the digital marketing space [for whom] we can change ads for different locations every hour or minute by minute. If they're advertising on their own website or on accuweather.com, we can change those ads as the forecasts change. If it's pouring at 3 p.m. but by 4 p.m. it's sunny, we can trigger the ad to change as consumer behavior changes.
Marketers also want to know whether people will go to the movies if it's raining. And at what point will consumers be purchasing their seasonal wardrobes. Every day people are making decisions that are highly impacted by the weather. One of the things we do is figure out how to make weather contextually relevant.
AccuWeather is often compared to The Weather Company, which sold many of its assets to IBM. What differentiates AccuWeather's data assets and ability to help marketers from what The Weather Company offers under IBM?
We pride ourselves on having the most accurate and granular weather data out there. We also pride ourselves on the accuracy of our forecasts. You can have the best predictive model in the world, but if you get the forecast wrong, then your model will be wrong. So say you have a model that's dependent on predicting high temperatures for different areas across the U.S. If you're basing that prediction on high temperatures and you're consistently a degree off compared to your competitors, then you're losing out no matter how good your model is. Having good data and accurate forecasts help differentiate us.
How do you see data science evolving?
One of the interesting things about data science is that it's becoming a very integrated function. We have a very diverse group of individuals. We have people in our data science teams with social science backgrounds, meteorological backgrounds and people from other areas. It's not just someone who was a database administrator or a statistician. You need to have people who are flexible and understand the data as well as the business needs. So having people who can look through the data, model it, and understand the marketing perspective, that's where the real value is in data science. If you're going to be a good data scientist, you really need to have a vast array of skills.
What are some new ways of looking at weather information that are emerging among industries?
There's a very strong link between weather and health. We have a group that looks at the relationship between weather and health and medicine. As the medical community advances, they're looking for more data points where they can start to predict things like flu outbreaks and allergies. We're also just starting to get an indication of how diseases are affected by weather since there isn't a lot of in-depth analytics yet. That's one of the big fields we'll see more work on: how weather impacts health.

Tesla Motors, always ahead of the automotive curve, is conducting a remarkable technological feat.
Starting this week and continuing in the coming days, the company is using the cellular network to beam new software to update the Autopilot driver-assistance system on approximately 70,000 of its cars. Tesla's ability to communicate with its vehicles to download major enhancements and fixes, much as Apple updates iPhones, is beyond the capability of other automakers.
But then, no other automaker has an on-the-road system as experimental as Autopilot, or perhaps the need to make midcourse corrections to such a fundamental feature of its vehicles.
The company has described the Autopilot update as intended to avoid the sort of errors that contributed to a Tesla owner's fatal crash in May on a Florida highway. The most evident change might be visual and audible reminders that drivers should keep their hands on the steering wheel.
It is an implicit scale-back of the company's original promotion of Autopilot, introduced last October, as essentially a self-driving car system. At the time, Elon Musk, Tesla's chief executive, said Autopilot was "probably better than a person right now."
But the company also acknowledged then that Autopilot was also only a beta system — a technical term for an experimental version. As such, the update now underway is a tacit acknowledgment that the self-driving-car experiment Tesla has been conducting on the public highways is still very much a work in progress.
"They're able to take a risk and put a system out that they admit wasn't fully baked," said Mike Ramsey, a research director at the Gartner Group. "But they have this ability to improve it. It's much more of a software mind-set. You get it out there and then you do software patches to fix the bugs."
The approach, Mr. Ramsey added, comes with some risk. "You have live human beings in there,'' he said, ''so you can debate whether that's the best way to do it."
Tesla declined to comment for this article.
The Autopilot update coincides with new policy guidelines for self-driving vehicles that the federal government issued this week. That policy, still subject to public review, gives the auto industry remarkable leeway in developing technology for fully autonomous vehicles. The main condition is that anything introduced for public use must be safe.
The policy guidelines do raise concerns about semiautonomous systems that — like Autopilot — are designed to perform many of the driving duties but still require human drivers to stay alert and be ready to take control at a moment's notice. Otherwise, the technology could be considered "an unreasonable risk to safety and subject to recall."
Anthony Foxx, secretary of transportation, said at a news conference this week that the new guidelines were not aimed at Tesla. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is still investigating the Florida accident.
The question now is how just how new and improved Autopilot actually is — and whether a software download is sufficient to address what Tesla's many critics say are the inherent shortcomings of the autonomous driving system.
One of those perceived drawbacks is Autopilot's assumption that an attentive driver can and will take over control of the car in the event of an emergency. Researchers at other companies at work on self-driving cars — including Ford Motor and Google — have concluded that this so-called handoff can never happen quickly enough to be fully safe.
Inside the Self-Driving Tesla Fatal Accident
After Joshua Brown, 40, of Canton, Ohio, was killed driving a Tesla Model S in the first fatality involving a self-driving car, questions have arisen about the safety of the car's technology.
A driver reviewing the updated Autopilot for The New York Times said the system required his full attention and he mentioned at least one occasion in which he would have had a collision had he not been poised to immediately hit the brakes.
The new Tesla software, called Version 8.0, also makes a significant change to the way Autopilot scans the road and recognizes objects. The previous version depended heavily on the forward-looking camera to sense surroundings. In the fatal Florida collision, the camera did not see a white tractor-trailer against a bright sky.
The new version of Autopilot relies more heavily on the car's radar to identify other vehicles and potential obstacles, and to decide when to steer to avoid a problem or apply the brakes.
The elevation of radar might seem a modest difference. But it runs counter to the widely held view that radar, while highly accurate in measuring distance, is less precise in determining the shape and size of objects.
"I'm not completely sure how Tesla is able to recognize and classify objects" with radar, said Jeremy Carlson, a senior automotive analyst at the forecaster IHS Markit. "I think it's clear there are changes in the new software in the radar sensor that are doing something in a very different way."
Other automakers argue that cameras are better at recognizing and classifying objects.
"Radar is good at telling the distance to an object but not very good at recognizing what it is," said Hideki Hada, general manager of Toyota Motor's integrated vehicle systems group in Ann Arbor, Mich. "Cameras can tell what an object is, but it's not so good at telling the distance. So you need both."
5 Things That Give Self-Driving Cars Headaches
Despite their multitude of sensors and processors, autonomous cars have a lot of trouble with some everyday aspects of driving.
Companies at work on fully self-driving cars contend that conventional cameras and radar are not sufficient to enable a vehicle to sense and respond to its surroundings. They plan to incorporate an additional technology: a laser-powered type of radar called lidar.
Tesla argues that its current technology is adequate for Autopilot's purposes. But in a Sept. 11 conference call announcing the upgrade, Mr. Musk acknowledged the challenge of using radar to identify objects.
The world, he said, looks "weird" in radar. Metal objects, because they strongly reflect radar waves, can appear larger than they are. Wood and plastic can appear "as transparent as glass." Radar sensors tend to give "false positives" — instances when they think the car should brake when it actually doesn't need to.
The new Autopilot software has algorithms to adjust for radar's distortions, according to Mr. Musk. And if the radar sees a large, dense, metal object — like a truck — the radar sensor can slow or brake the car, even if the camera system can't identify the object, he said.
Mr. Musk predicted that the new Autopilot system was "really going to be beyond what people expect" and would make the Tesla Model S sedan and the Model X sport utility vehicle "by far" the safest cars on the road.
Mr. Ramsey, the research director at Gartner, noted that Tesla was able to release Autopilot last year without having committed to a crucial engineering question — Is the radar or the camera the primary sensor? — knowing the company could modify and improve it later.
"They can take a risk like that," he said. "It's what makes them truly distinct from other automakers."
Whether public experiments are the best approach to highway safety is another matter. "I'm sure they are very confident the cars are safe," Mr. Ramsey said, "but they are kind of doing trial and error."

WANTED IN SPOKANE COUNTY — If you're thinking about throwing a party, you would be wise to not invite Joshua Elmgren.
Police say that one of several of Elmgren's convictions includes harassment — he was kicked out of a party because people were mad about how young the girl was that he was dating. He then threatened to come back and kill everyone, pointing his fingers — like guns– at the other partygoers.
Now, Elmgren is breaking probation in Spokane County on a drug crime and lying to cops.
Joshua Elmgren is 25-years-old.
Call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS, if you know where he is.

At the March 4 county commission meeting, two county road department employees each received a raise and a promotion after some debate.
At the request of Road Department Director Howard Nabors, Lamar Hardy and Thomas Sadler were promoted to the positions of working foreman.
Commissioner Noah Lockley moved to grant the promotions, and was seconded by Commissioner Smokey Parrish. The motion passed 4-1, with Commissioner Pinki Jackel opposed.
When Nabors made his request, Jackel asked if there was only one opening. Nabors said there was one opening for the position of assistant superintendent.
�What do you think you need to do the job?� Commissioner Cheryl Sanders asked Nabors. �That�s the main thing.�
Nabors said that instead of an assistant superintendent, Hardy could help handle prison work crews and fill in when the regular secretary was out. He said Sadler was experienced with roadwork and culverts.
�Lamar would be over the inmates and making sure the job is done,� said Nabors.
�Can Tommy (Sadler) supervise inmates?� Jackel asked,
Nabors said Sadler had not reinstated his inmate certification.
According to a May 2013 memo issued by former Road Director Hubert Chipman, Sadler was disciplined for wasting time that he should have been performing county work, and for using county equipment without authorization while he was assigned to be supervising an inmate work crew.
Several witnesses said they saw Sadler using a county truck to dump dirt on his own property in the Whispering Pines development in Eastpoint. At least one witness said there were inmates present at the time of the incident.
In his responding statement, Sadler said he had used a county truck to transport bed railings to his property and �left the inmates standing by the road� when he did so.
�I never had them on my personal property,� wrote Sadler.
Apparently referring to the dumping incident, Nabors, when requesting the promotions, told commissioners �all that mess took place before I took over.�
After commissioners agreed to the promotions, Nabors requested a $1,500 raise for each man.
Commissioner William Massey suggested the board wait until county labor attorney Lucy Turner of the Carson and Adkins law firm, was to make her presentation on job classification and pay scale at the March 18 meeting. Turner has been creating a plan to formally classify county employees and set standardized wage increases based on seniority and performance.
Nabors said money for the raises was already in his budget. Lockley moved to approve the salary increase. Parrish seconded.
�I understand that when people move from classification to classification, there is a difference in money but I agree with Mr. Massey about Lucy Taylor,� said Jackel. � I don�t understand why we would do reclassification and an increase today when we haven�t looked at those grids; when we�ve got other people that we�ve got on hold that.
�I don�t know what (Sadler and Hardy) make and I don�t know how they fit into that grid. This is kind of counterproductive for what we�ve been trying to do with Lucy Turner. One of these foremen can supervise prisoners and one cannot, so there�s some differences there. I don�t see how we can do this based on what we�ve been doing at prior meetings,� she said.
Sanders said both men had worked in the road department for roughly the same period. Nabors said each had more than 25-years of job experience.
The motion to increase the salaries passed 3-2, with Jackel and Massey opposed.
Sanders asked Director of Administrative Services Alan Pierce to add Sadler and Hardy to a list of names Turner is looking at so she could bring correct figures for their salaries to the next county meeting.

OMG was our first reaction when we saw this recreation of the Olympic Village in Beijing — yes, the Bird's Nest, Water Cube, the media tower and all — which took world record cardstacker Bryan Berg several days to build (in a Hong Kong shopping mall), 140,000 cards and NO super glue! We've seen the real Olympic Village, but this is awesome shit. Apparently some of Berg's works can even support up to 108 kg in weight: check out this other awesome vid of two ladies standing on four sheets of particleboard on his cards.
Bryan Berg first broke the Guinness World Record for the World's Tallest House of Cards in 1992 at the age of seventeen, with a tower fourteen feet, six inches tall, and has gone on since to build ever grander and more complex structures. Someone hand this chap a gold medal!

It's July 4th! And it all started here. This interesting map was in the The American military pocket atlas of 1776, printed in England, and undoubtedly carried by British Forces during the War of Independence. Luckily, it didn't help - the British lost, and today we get to barbecue some chicken and blow off some fireworks. Enjoy!

How to remove (uninstall) News1free.com
The "virus" that we're going to talk about is known as News1free.com. If you already faced adware or browser hijacker - you might skip this part and go to the uninstalling advices and remove this undesired program. If you haven't experienced this type of programs earlier - believe, this program really isn't the one to keep on your PC. We are saying so because News1free.com not only brings troubles during web-surfing, but might call a serious viral infection of your computer. Do you mention the enormous quantity of advertisement on the Internet, or the switched homepage? Have you experienced the total retardation of computer's and browser speed, or suspicious results of search and frequent redirections to the malicious web-pages? These are the attributes of advertising programs working in the system and if you've seen them – your computer is in jeopardy.
What is News1free.com
The advertising programs aren't made for fun, and every adware has precise tasks. However, the true purpose of this program doesn't coincide with the stated ones. Commonly, the description of adware states that it will be very helpful. 90% of adware declare to help you to look for goods or information in the Internet. Help in the finding of new movies, games or music, search for discounts, deals and sales online and performing some functions in Twitter - that's the features that the majority of advertising programs state to carry out. The first thing you need to do if you're going to install some program - to think, is it really useful? Actually, the task of malware developers is to state that their program performs a function that can't be examined. The "safer", "better" or "faster" web-surfing is a pure example of suchlike functions, as these parameters are very indistinct and they're very to supervise. Does this mean that advertising software are completely useless, and just take up space in the computer's memory? No, they got one significant task and it is to trick the users and to earn thousands of dollars from online advertising.
It's hard to understand how it started but now there is an opinion that hackers create the dangerous programs without any particular reason. It's really reasonable, right? Web-scammer thinks about you, endeavoring to eliminate his virus, and it feels very good! You have to remember that all viruses perform some feature, and it is often associated with money. It is weird that adware displays so much banners, but when you realize it, the scheme appears really plain. All this advertisement is displayed to obtain money from clicks. Some users know that browser ads are paid on the pay-per-click system, which means that the client pays for each referral from the ad to the website. Thus, the more ads adware is showing you, the bigger is the chance that you will be interested and pass the link. Even if you are not interested in adware's propositions - you might click on the link, at least to close an unwanted irritating ad. Advertisers don't care how the clicks were made, and online-criminals will get their money both for the normal click and for the undesired one. Here we see how numbers defeat quality, as swindlers develop lots of substandard viruses that spam with annoying ads. Confiding user can take the ads shown by virus in earnest, and search for something interesting among adware proposals, doing tens of clicks each day. Based on our information, the quantity of victims of News1free.com is at least 50 000, and if all of them are making one to five clicks daily, the fraudster's earnings don't seem so insignificant.
Methods to remove News1free.com
Actually, News1free.com has another consequence which in the long perspective might bring serious damage to your computer. We speak about that News1free.com can change the controls of user's browser on purpose to distribute ads more efficiently which makes it highly vulnerable to all sorts of viruses. Adware wants to shift three parameters: the filtering of annoying advertising, home page and default search engine. These changes tangle with the basic regulations of computer security, and make user's browser very assailable to all sorts of threats. The perilous software will clog your system, because each referral on the link, provided by adware calls one more adware onto the computer. You have only one way to stop advertisement and save your system from adware danger - to delete News1free.com.
Method 1. Use special removal software
Method 2. Remove News1free.com manually
Step 1. Uninstall News1free.com from the operation system
Step 2. Remove News1free.com from the browser (Google Chrome/Mozilla Firefox/IE/Opera/Safari)
Adware being spread in different methods: via infected websites where the malware download might begin at each click, and via installation in bundles. Dangerous sites are very easy to know: they are on the last positions of search, and they intrusively suggest to download something. In addition, listen to the warnings that your browser and AV-tool show. The bundled installation technique isn't related to websites: you should be aware of it only if you during the installation of programs. Installation in bundles means that News1free.com is added to installers of free programs. You install some software and the pop-up window during installation emerges an offer to install some more programs. In some versions you just cannot uncheck the fields, and in some - there's no notification about extraneous installation. You have to know that: if News1free.com had penetrated your system through bundled installation, you, probably, have some more unwanted software or malware. So, if you see the choice between "recommended installation" and "partial installation" – pick the second variant. Remember about this each time you install new software - and your PC will be much cleaner.
News1free.com removal tool
The uninstall of News1free.com in manual mode needs nearly 7-10 minutes, and might be carried out even by not experienced user. In spite the fact that manual deletion is very easy, it has several weaknesses, compared to the software removal through AV-tool. The uninstalling in manual manner is very easy and totally toll-free, in case of really strong contamination you just can't remove the undesired software manually. If you have an antivirus software - it will grant you the defense for years. Spyhunter anti-malware is dedicated to remove such tools as News1free.com, and easily copes with other similar threats.

We are all worn out. We had a lovely day yesterday, but we did too much, we stayed out too long. That seems to be true of all long weekends — I think I always overestimate what is reasonable to do or accomplish and we end up finishing the weekend completely exhausted with little energy to get through the coming week. Rather than going into our week refreshed and recharged, we go into the week counting down the minutes until the next weekend.
That's what today was like. We all really enjoyed our long (4 day) weekend: we cleaned the house, we visited with friends, we took a day trip, we hunted for Easter Eggs. And today, we had no energy left. We got through our morning pretty well: B got to school, Dan got to work, Liam & I ran some errands. But then, nap time was a bust (very short for B and non-existent for Liam, which, oddly seems to be the rule rather than the exception on these days where we're all so tired) so I threw in the towel and decided that rather than attempt to have a stimulating afternoon of activities and playing together, we were going to have movie afternoon.
"Movie night" in our house is typically at whole-family Friday night affair. Today, it was just me and the boys, but I did it right — I made popcorn (Benjamin helped me) and then we all snuggled up on the futon together (still set up like a bed from Mina's visit). For our "real" movie night, we don't let the boys wander around or get riled up playing with toys, but today was just "movie afternoon", so none of the usual rules applied. Mostly, we got to snuggle together and eat popcorn while we watched "Cars" (which we all could recite from memory, so it doesn't require a lot of attention). When the kids played, they still needed a lot of my involvement — their energy levels are really low, which means their tempers are short and they are quick to frustration. But even so, it was a relatively peaceful day.
Even with an afternoon of no real activity, I'm exhausted. I hope tomorrow gives me a chance to recuperate. How long until Friday?

They clap and nod their heads to the beat and every now and then, somebody snaps his fingers to show his appreciation for the spoken and chanted words – just like in the times of the Beat Generation, even if the poetry community doesn't have to meet in the basements anymore.

Question: a deformity in my daughters throat
|Melissa Washington - Sat Aug 14, 2004 9:53 pm
When my daughter was born I brought her home from the hospital though I was uncomfortable with the way her breathing sounded. The doctor assured me that she was fine. That night I had to rush her to the hospital. She was crying and the more she cried the more she seemed to not be able to breath. To make a long story short they ended up doing a test putting dye through her veins. They found that she has an artery going across her throat instead of up and down. After learning CPR I did bring her home with a breathing monitor. I was told that her throat would get stronger as she gets older and she would be able to handle the problem. She is better though I think it does seem to affect her when she cries hard or gets upset. Her throat will sound funny. I have a questions, She is now 8 and the word they used for this condition was long and I never documented the name. I'm trying to find out so that I can make sure I have it in her medical records. I'm also wanting the name so that I can see if there are any problems that can come from this. Thank you to anybody that can help me out
|Dr. Tamer Fouad - Sun Aug 15, 2004 2:23 am
Several abnormalities can cause the picture you have described. These abnormalities are generally referred to as vascular rings. They lead to compression of trachea and esophagus due to abnormalities in development of the great vessels including:
1) Right-sided aortic arch
2) Double aortic arch
3) Anomalous right subclavian artery
4) Aberrant left pulmonary artery
Do any of these terms ring a bell?
|Melissa Washington - Sun Aug 15, 2004 2:52 pm
I am going to look these up and see if it describes what my daughter went through though they had a long name for the problem. But after looking these problems up i will probably come across the name. Thank you very much. You have been a help.

I am 56 years old. I have five children, three girls and two boys. I also have seven grandchildren, who I love to spend some Sundays with. I love spending time with my family, but I am also a very independent and outgoing person. I live on the west side of Cleveland in a senior citizen building, where there are different activities for us including Bingo. I love spending time with my family. I am a very outgoing person
I am also legally blind. I started losing my sight from my left eye when I was about 30-years-old, and gradually became totally blind over time. The hardest thing for me was getting around outside by myself, and at first, it was kind of scary traveling and walking alone.
I started losing my sight from my left eye at 30 years old and gradually became totally blind over time. It was thundering and lightening one night, when the power in my house went out. I fell asleep. When I woke up, I told my daughter to turn the lights back on. She told me that they were already on, but I was in darkness. We went to the emergency room.
Over the course of one year, I head a series of injections to my eyes, and my vision returned slowly. When the doctor suggested surgery. I agreed. If I had to go through the surgery again, I wouldn't because, when I came out of the recovery room, my vision was almost totally gone again! I can detect shadows and light with my left eye, but can't see anything with my right eye. If I had the option to
Learning how to get around on my own within the neighborhood has been my goal for the past 5 years since I became legally blind.
I go to the Cleveland Sight Center, two days a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am learning how to walk around, cook and use the computer and many other things I can learn, to help myself stay independent to do. The staff at the sight center is excellent to work with. They help me with everything I need to do, in order for me to maintain my independence.
One day at the Sight Center, my GED teacher read an article about advances in treating people with various levels of lost vision. When I thought about it, I realized that I had experienced two of the procedures highlighted in the article: the stem-cell injections and the gene therapy (the surgery). The other procedure, the Argus II or "bionic eye," I had not experienced. This procedure is covered by Medicare in some, but if you don't have insurance it costs $145,000.
It's amazing what resources that are out there to help people with vision problems, especially blindness. I'll keep looking for the doctor and the procedure(s) that can best help me to regain some of my sight.
I am not giving up!

I used Winsor and Newton watercolours and brushes from WHSmith. The watercolours went on very smoothly with no crinkling of the paper at all. It was an absolute pleasure!
Please enjoy a relaxing 4 minutes, just enough time for a nice biscuit and a small cup of tea.

Karin Klein: Instructors must own up to role in grade inflation
At the small private university where I teach a course in opinion writing, one of my students challenged his final grade, a B-minus. He had missed enough classes for a grade reduction. Some of his papers had been well-crafted, others less so. But overall, the grade depends on progress through the semester, and despite back-and-forth on his final writing project, he stuck to a conclusion without backing it up.
Yet here he was, wondering whether his grade was arbitrary. So I replied that while his writing had shown some good improvement, he and I could probably agree that it had not been excellent improvement. And a B-minus grade reflects good, not excellent, work.
But that's not how grades happen these days, as I was reminded when a report came out last week chronicling grade inflation at four-year colleges. Nearly every academic I know talks about student expectations that they will get an A, even after handing in a six-page report rather than the assigned eight pages.
"I got straight A's in English through high school," they protest. "I showed up to every class! I handed in my assignments on time!" That's nice, but it's not excellence.
An A has become the default grade, and students take anything below that to mean that something is wrong with them. What was once a bell curve now looks like a steep uphill climb toward the right.
The question is why college instructors are going along with it.
The study, by Stuart Rojstaczer, a former professor at Duke University, can't answer that because it measures grades, not the story beneath them. But one finding is telling: Grade inflation is much higher at private universities than public ones, and much higher at four-year schools than community colleges.
Rojstaczer says this might be because private schools attract more entitled students, and because ever-more expensive colleges see students as customers to be pleased, rather than as academic supplicants who must meet a certain bar.
But I wonder whether there's another factor: the increasing numbers of adjunct professors – non-staff who are essentially outside contractors – as well as non-tenure-track lecturers and those who still have a ways to go for tenure or promotion.
Tough graders, or even just realistic graders, tend to be downgraded themselves in student evaluations. And the academic life is hard these days, with many highly educated people making a living commuting from college to college, raking in a few thousand dollars for each course taught. Bad student evaluations can mean no tenure, or for adjuncts, no job at all.
Even some tenured professors I know hold off on giving any grades until after the student evaluations are filed, usually the last day of class. In addition, the poorly paid adjuncts and lecturers I've talked to don't want to fight about grades. It's a painful process that can mean dragging out every paper, exam or participation grade for the semester. They're already paid inadequately for the teaching, planning and grading they do; they'd rather give in than make more work for themselves.
Fortunately for me, I teach as an adjunct as a change of pace, not to make a living. But I wonder if students, parents or even college administrators are aware of how education is shortchanged when instructors feel they can't afford to uphold standards. Or is everyone happy as long as undeserved A's keep rolling in?

Accessing the Library Catalog:
To access the catalog, simply click on the "MEI Library Catalog" button on the left side of the screen.
Please note: the catalog records for the Middle school library are linked with the Secondary school so select "MEI Secondary Library" before you log in.
You can now search the library catalog, but you will need to login to your account to use features like Destiny Quest, Resource Lists, and to place holds or check your personal information. Also, be sure to check the "Copies" tab or the "Available" link (to the right of the item you want) to see which school it is located in ("MID" or "Sec" under "Sublocation")
Accessing Your Account:
Once you have accessed your account, use the "My Info" tab to view your personal information. This screen allows you to see the items you have out, renew items, check your fines, and view your holds. ***Items with the due date in RED under the "Items Out" section are overdue and will NOT show up in the "Fines" section until they have been returned or renewed.
Fines are 25 cents per day per item so please check your account regularly to avoid fines!
To renew items, make sure you have selected the "My Info" tab. Select the "Renew" button beside the title of the item you wish to renew. If the item is on hold for someone else you will be unable to renew it. You can renew certain items up to 5 times so only press renew when necessary to avoid fines.
It is very important that you return or renew any overdue items to avoid large fines! If you have lost a book please come to the library so we can mark it as lost so fines do not accumulate.
To place a hold on a specific item, begin by searching in the catalog. Once you find the item you want, click on the title and you will see a "Hold It!" button on the top right of the screen, click on this and it will add the item as a "hold" to your account. Please make sure to come to the library to pick up your hold when the status says "Ready". You will be given a message at the time the hold is placed that will let you know when that hold will expire or if it is unavailable. If the item is out when you press the Hold It button, the status will say "Pending". Please check your account to see if the item you put on hold is ready to be picked up.
When placing holds on books, please keep in mind that the catalog records for the Middle school library are linked with the Secondary school and the content of some Secondary school library books may not be suitable for students in the younger grades. Please do not place holds on Secondary Library fiction unless the Middle Library also has a copy.
Another feature you will find useful is the "Resource Lists". For example, if you are doing a research project, you can create a list to keep track of the books and websites you used. This will be helpful when you create your bibliography. You can view your lists by selecting the "Resource Lists" link on the left side of your screen and selecting the "View" button beside the list you want to see.
You are also able to edit a list by selecting the icon with the pencil on it. To place items on your list, begin by looking them up in the catalog. Once you are viewing the item you want, choose the list you want it to be recorded in. There is a drop down menu beside the "Selected List:" for you to choose which list to add the item to. Once you have selected the list, click the "Add to this List" button.
Students, please DO NOT make all your lists public. This is for teachers or librarians to share lists with the students. For example, I have added a "MID Fiction 2014-15″ and "MID Graphic novels 2014-15" etc. If you are working with a partner you can make your list public to share the information but MAKE SURE to delete it as soon as you are done with it!

Sound City announces initial lineup for 2018 event
Sound City, one of Europe's leading metropolitan festivals of music and arts, has unveiled the first ten acts confirmed to appear at the 2018 event.
Peace, Slow Readers Club, Ibibio Sound Machine, Baxter Dury, Idles, Jaws, Low Island, Cassia, The Orielles and Zuzu will all play across Liverpool's Baltic Triangle and Cains Brewery during the May bank holiday weekend.

Over 250 new bands and headliners are due to perform at Sound City with intimate stages, pop-up shows, warehouses, and more planned. The festival will return to its roots for its 11th year, welcoming iconic acts alongside the best new music talent from home and abroad.
Becky Ayres, Sound City's COO, said of the announcement: "We are all immensely proud and happy to reveal our first artists for 2018. We wanted to lay down a marker for what everyone can expect from our festival's return to its roots, and we hope that the range and dynamism of these opening ten names reflects where we are taking Sound City for next year and far beyond. Seeing these guys performing up close and personal across a wide spectrum of locations is going to be really special. And of course, there is plenty more to come too as we enter the new year – this is just the beginning!"

Churchill Downs increases purses again
Churchill Downs announced Thursday its second purse increase in two weeks.
The track will raise purses by 15 percent, an average increase of $5,126 a race, for the final three weeks of the spring meet. This follows a 10 percent increase June 3 that was fueled by strong Kentucky Derby Week betting.
Track president Kevin Flanery attributed the most recent jump to more strong betting.
"Horse racing fans have responded positively to our racing product this season, and wagering levels over the last two weeks in particular greatly exceeded our projections," he said in the announcement.
Total overnight purses for the meet are projected to be $13.3 million, up $1.2 million from original forecasts.
But Flanery warned that the surge in betting and the increase in purses are temporary.
"We've been fortunate this season, but as we've said before, these positive purse adjustments aren't long-term solutions to the problems we face in Kentucky," Flanery said. "The commonwealth's signature horse racing industry still isn't on a level playing field with states whose racetracks have an immense competitive advantage by having their purses fueled by slot machine and casino revenues, and our purses remain well shy of their highest levels of recent years."
The purse increases come as Ohio Gov. John Kasich announced a deal Wednesday that will expand gambling at three Thoroughbred and four harness racetracks.
The casino agreement will let the seven tracks put in video lottery terminals to compete with four planned casinos. Tracks will have to pay $50 million for a 10-year license and at least $150 million for facilities. The tracks could keep 66.5 percent of the revenue but would have to share that on purses, breed development and other programs.

"Animation is a unique medium through which to express your ideas. There is really no limit to what you can do with animation," he said.
Suponwich started his animation career with Academy Award-winning company Rhythm and Hues in Los Angeles in 1991, after gaining a master's in computer graphics from The School of Visual Arts in New York.
While at Rhythm and Hues, the company won three Academy Awards for Best Visual Effects for "Babe: The Talking Pig" (1995), "The Golden Compass" (2007) and "Life of Pi" (2012).
In 2007, he decided to move back to his hometown, Bangkok, and founded The Monk Studios.
The company has come a long way since its first day in business, when the studio had only three employees.
The Monk Studios on Wednesday celebrated its 10th anniversary and now has around 120 employees, with two offices in Bangkok and Chiang Mai.
"Over the past 26 years in the field, I've seen the medium evolve from analogue to digital, from the practical to the virtual world. At the beginning of my career, we still used the traditional hand-painted frame-by-frame method, but now in 2017, we are experiencing the excitement of the world of VR [virtual reality]. Technology combined with good story-telling is, for me, the key for successful animation.
"Apart from the business side of things, I also enjoy seeing the growth of the local talent we work with. Thais are very creative and by giving them the chance to develop with the right training and good coaching, they can blossom.
"Animation is relatively new in Thailand and the majority of those in the workforce are still quite young. I really enjoy seeing them following their dreams to become someone special," he explained.
The market for animation is in fact quite large, he said, adding that when most people think of animation, they think of big movies from Pixar or Disney, whereas the medium is everywhere.
From small licensed characters to mobile emoji graphics, there are niches and regional markets that the big international houses are not interested in, and the spread of technology, know-how and the growth of talent in this region is tremendous, the managing director stressed.
"If we have a good idea, a good story, there will always be room to market it, and with a good story idea, we can compete with big-budget films," he said.
"Our plan as an animation studio is always focused on creating our own films and characters. So far, we have launched two short films and a bunch of our own characters. We are now focusing on launching our own films for the APAC [Asia-Pacific] market. Our goal is to be able to tell a story the way we see it, with Asian charisma," he pointed out.
"Absolutely, the last couple of years we've seen a lot of growth in the Chinese market. Our goal is to be able to position ourselves between the Asian and Western markets. We worked on high-profile US films like 'Rango' [2011], and also the biggest Japanese animations like 'Final Fantasy XV' [2016]. We're looking forward to an exciting future with more unique projects of our own coming up," Suponwich added.
Meanwhile, the local market is very small compared to the global scale of the animation sector, the MD said, with most Thai studios surviving by doing work for overseas clients – and the majority of them doing well in that regard.
His company has seen big growth in the industry in the past five years, with Thai studios delivering high quality at a competitive budget on the global scale.
"Thailand is the primary outsourcing partner for Japanese animation studios, and I foresee that we will be doing a lot of work for the Chinese market in the near future. I believe we are just at the beginning stage of the industry here in Thailand. There is so much potential growth for Thai animation, and it is starting to show. I am excited and looking forward to the next 10 years," he said.
"I am also chairperson for the computer-animation festival, 'Siggraph Asia 2017', to be in held from November 27-30 in Bangkok. This will be an important event for folks in computer animation, CG VFX [computer-graphics visual effects] for movies and the academic research field.
"We are looking forward to hosting such a special event in Bangkok and welcoming talent from around the world," the animator-businessman said.
