Bird of prey trapped on Metro station escalator
Monday, December 14, 2009; 12:39 PM
It is the stuff of late-night horror movies, and for some it is a recurring nightmare. Somehow that escalator grabs a piece of you, pulling you into the depths. You are not alone. Everyone worries.
Hawks and falcons, perhaps, are an exception.
We can only surmise how a bird of prey got its foot stuck in the escalator in the Benning Road Metro station Monday, though we can report with some certainty that it happened, that a clamor of alarm was sounded, that fire and rescue units responded, and that through mechanical intervention the bird was freed.
Big birds rarely use Metro, but pigeons are not uncommon in the vast underground labyrinth. The stations are a bit warmer in the winter, a tad cooler in the summer and dry year-round. Most of all, however, for pigeons the stations are a source of food.
Before we go any further, it is important to note that consumption of food and drink is expressly banned on Metro, and there have been celebrated cases of enforcement when Cheez Doodle miscreants and their ilk have been arrested. Cracking down on pigeons, which usually are a hop or two ahead of the rest of us, has been deemed an unworthy pursuit for Metro Transit Police.
So, we can imagine that beady eyes were watching from above on Monday as a pigeon trailed along behind the crowd of morning commuters, grazing on bits and pieces of food spilling from pockets, pants cuffs and from the various postures people assume when trying to conceal edible contraband from the authorities.
As the pigeon ambled by the escalator, it's a fair guess that the falcon or hawk saw lunch and swooped down.
And then, oh no, your worst nightmare.
Commuters who might have watched in silence if, say, a small child got gobbled up in the escalator, shrieked and rushed to protect the bird.
Soon there were sirens. Rescuers swarmed down the escalator.
What will be remembered as a bizarre footnote to Metro's eventful year -- train crashes, bus accidents, tragic deaths -- was resolved fairly quickly.
A portion of the escalator was dismantled and the bird flew to a perch atop a gas station near the Metro entrance, perhaps with a slightly injured foot and certainly now wise to the treachery of the escalator.

Where Should I Live? - Seattle Area Real Estate Prices and Considerations
This will undoubtedly be one of the first questions you ask yourself. The Greater Seattle Area is a big place, although what constitutes the "Greater Seattle Area" depends upon who you're talking to. For our purposes here, I'm dividing the discussion into 3 groups: city of Seattle, the Eastside, and some nearby communities that are not part of either group.
Some Key Questions you need to ask yourself before even knowing what direction to point yourself in are:
Some Key Questions you need to ask yourself before even knowing what direction to point yourself in are:
- How much time do I want to spend driving to work? (check traffic patterns on Google Traffic)
- How much will I be spending for my property? (talk with a good lender first -- I can help with that)
- What am I accustomed to having nearby? (organic food, shopping, highway access, gym, parks & recreation, etc.)
- If you have school-age children, how do the schools vary from one community to another? What about Option schools?
- Am I going to want a view? How about a basement?
- How important is proximity to entertainment/restaurants? How about walkability?
City of Seattle
The city is divided into neighborhoods, each with its own special offerings. While everyone attends the Seattle Public School System, there could be differences that would be significant to you, such as a better chance at getting into a particular Option school, if that is your choice.The school's "report card" could also be of interest. Go HERE to learn a whole lot more!
I will be featuring communities from time to time on a random basis, but here's a partial list with average sale prices for the first half of 2011:
While the Eastside is also divided into neighborhoods, you will more than likely want to identify towns or cities or sections of cities (ie: Bellevue, east of I-405) in drawing classifications. One city's school district does not necessarily service all of that city, so it's important, if you're wanting a particular school district, to pay attention to both categories. Some of Sammamish attends Issaquah School District and some attends Lake Washington School District. Some of Bellevue attends Lake Washington School District. Some of Renton attends Bellevue School district.
Kitsap Peninsula & Vashon Island
Vashon Island and the Kitsap Peninsula are in the Puget Sound between Seattle and the Olympic Peninsula. Both areas include small, quaint communities offering great opportunities for a life that's slower paced, with the beauty of the mountains and Puget Sound at your doorstep. Residents commute to Seattle via water or air, and from Vashon Island, there's a ferry that goes directly to downtown Seattle.
North of Seattle
North of Seattle, there are towns that are still considered part of the Seattle area:

As announced on Saturday at SDCC, I'll be writing the ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK comic, coming out this December. More details (like who's drawing it, who's coloring it, who's lettering it and what exactly it is all about) are coming soon.
I've been a John Carpenter fan since I was a little kid hiding his eyes from heavily edited cuts of THE FOG on TV. I say with no hesitation that he's one of my most important filmmakers and his films have shaped me and my view of movies. So it goes without saying that I'm excited beyond the telling to be involved in this book. To have a hand in figuring out what happened to Snake Plissken after the events of the first film? That's some sort of insane fever dream I'm trying with all my might not to wake up from.

Original title: Cyberstalked and can't block them
I'm being cyberstalked by perverts sending me vulgar e-commerce. I go to the page where we can block them, but the very next day, I have emails from them again. Maybe they just change one letter, so they continuously stalk me, but it is annoying. This only happens on Hotmail. They even got into my other account at a school.

Section 226.25 - Record retention.
Section 226.26 - Use of annual percentage rate
in oral disclosures.
Section 226.27 - Spanish language disclosures.
Section 226.28 - Effect on state laws.
Section 226.29 - State exemptions.
Section 226.30 - Limitation on rates.
Subpart D--Miscellaneous
Sec. 226.25 Record retention.
(a) General rule. A creditor shall retain
evidence of compliance with this regulation (other than advertising
requirements under Secs. 226.16 and 226.24) for 2 years after
the date disclosures are required to be made or action is required
to be taken. The administrative agencies responsible for enforcing
the regulation may require creditors under their jurisdictions
to retain records for a longer period if necessary to carry out
their enforcement responsibilities under section 108 of the act.
(b) Inspection of records. A creditor
shall permit the agency responsible for enforcing this regulation
with respect to that creditor to inspect its relevant records
for compliance.
Sec. 226.26 Use of annual percentage
rate in oral disclosures.
(a) Open-end credit. In an oral response
to a consumer's inquiry about the cost of open-end credit, only
the annual percentage rate or rates shall be stated, except that
the periodic rate or rates also may be stated. If the annual percentage
rate cannot be determined in advance because there are finance
charges other than a periodic rate, the corresponding annual percentage
rate shall be stated, and other cost information may be given.
(b) Closed-end credit. In an oral response
to a consumer's inquiry about the cost of closed-end credit, only
the annual percentage rate shall be stated, except that a simple
annual rate or periodic rate also may be stated if it is applied
to an unpaid balance. If the annual percentage rate cannot be
determined in advance, the annual percentage rate for a sample
transaction shall be stated, and other cost information for the
consumer's specific transaction may be given.
Sec. 226.27 Spanish language disclosures.
All disclosures required by this regulation
shall be made in the English language, except in the Commonwealth
of Puerto Rico, where creditors may, at their option, make disclosures
in the Spanish language. If Spanish disclosures are made, English
disclosures shall be provided on the consumer's request, either
in substitution for or in addition to the Spanish disclosures.
This requirement for providing English disclosures on request
shall not apply to advertisements subject to Secs. 226.16 and
226.24 of this regulation.
Sec. 226.28 Effect on State laws.
(a) Inconsistent disclosure requirements.
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (d) of this section, State
law requirements that are inconsistent with the requirements contained
in chapter 1 (General Provisions), chapter 2 (Credit Transactions),
or chapter 3 (Credit Advertising) of the act and the implementing
provisions of this regulation are preempted to the extent of the
inconsistency. A State law is inconsistent if it requires a creditor
to make disclosures or take actions that contradict the requirements
of the Federal law. A State law is contradictory if it requires
the use of the same term to represent a different amount or a
different meaning than the Federal law, or if it requires the
use of a term different from that required in the Federal law
to describe the same item. A creditor, State, or other interested
party may request the Board to determine whether a State law requirement
is inconsistent. After the Board determines that a State law is
inconsistent, a creditor may not make disclosures using the inconsistent
term or form.
(2)(i) State law requirements are inconsistent
with the requirements contained in sections 161 (Correction of
billing errors) or 162 (Regulation of credit reports) of the Act
and the implementing provisions of this regulation and are preempted
if they provide rights, responsibilities, or procedures for consumers
or creditors that are different from those required by the Federal
law. However, a State law that allows a consumer to inquire about
an open-end credit account and imposes on the creditor an obligation
to respond to such inquiry after the time allowed in the Federal
law for the consumer to submit written notice of a billing error
shall not be preempted in any situation where the time period
for making written notice under this regulation has expired. If
a creditor gives written notice of a consumer's rights under such
State law, the notice shall state that reliance on the longer
time period available under State law may result in the loss of
important rights that could be preserved by acting more promptly
under Federal law; it shall also explain that the State law provisions
apply only after expiration of the time period for submitting
a proper written notice of a billing error under the Federal law.
If the State disclosures are made on the same side of a page as
the required Federal disclosures, the State disclosures shall
appear under a demarcation line below the Federal disclosures,
and the Federal disclosures shall be identified by a heading indicating
that they are made in compliance with Federal law.
(ii) State law requirements are inconsistent
with the requirements contained in chapter 4 (Credit billing)
of the Act (other than section 161 or 162) and the implementing
provisions of this regulation and are preempted if the creditor
cannot comply with State law without violating Federal law.
(iii) A State may request the Board to
determine whether its law is inconsistent with chapter 4 of the
Act and its implementing provisions.
(b) Equivalent disclosure requirements.
If the Board determines that a disclosure required by state law
(other than a requirement relating to the finance charge, annual
percentage rate, or the disclosures required under Sec. 226.32)
is substantially the same in meaning as a disclosure required
under the act or this regulation, creditors in that state may
make the state disclosure in lieu of the federal disclosure. A
creditor, State, or other interested party may request the Board
to determine whether a State disclosure is substantially the same
in meaning as a Federal disclosure.
(c) Request for determination. The procedures
under which a request for a determination may be made under this
section are set forth in appendix A.
(d) Special rule for credit and charge
cards. State law requirements relating to the disclosure of credit
information in any credit or charge card application or solicitation
that is subject to the requirements of section 127(c) of chapter
2 of the act (Sec. 226.5a of the regulation) or in any renewal
notice for a credit or charge card that is subject to the requirements
of section 127(d) of chapter 2 of the act (Sec. 226.9(e) of the
regulation) are preempted. State laws relating to the enforcement
of section 127 (c) and (d) of the act are not preempted.
Sec. 226.29 State exemptions.
(a) General rule. Any State may apply
to the Board to exempt a class of transactions within the State
from the requirements of chapter 2 (Credit transactions) or chapter
4 (Credit billing) of the Act and the corresponding provisions
of this regulation. The Board shall grant an exemption if it determines
(1) The State law is substantially similar
to the Federal law or, in the case of chapter 4, affords the consumer
greater protection than the Federal law; and
(2) There is adequate provision for enforcement.
(b) Civil liability. (1) No exemptions
granted under this section shall extend to the civil liability
provisions of sections 130 and 131 of the Act.
(2) If an exemption has been granted,
the disclosures required by the applicable State law (except any
additional requirements not imposed by Federal law) shall constitute
the disclosures required by this Act.
(c) Applications. The procedures under
which a State may apply for an exemption under this section are
set forth in appendix B.
Sec. 226.30 Limitation on rates.
A creditor shall include in any consumer
credit contract secured by a dwelling and subject to the act and
this regulation the maximum interest rate that may be imposed
during the term of the obligation 50 when:
50 Compliance with
this section will constitute compliance with the disclosure requirements
on limitations on increases in footnote 12 to Secs. 226.6(a)(2)
and 226.18(f)(2) until October 1, 1988.
(a) In the case of closed-end credit,
the annual percentage rate may increase after consummation, or
(b) In the case of open-end credit, the
annual percentage rate may increase during the plan.

Is your industry cutting corners to cut costs?
The bottom line is a reality for all business. Even those in industries that are ostensibly "Mission Driven" still must keep an eye on that thin line at the bottom of their balance sheets. It's not because business owners and managers are greedy, or corrupt, its because a capitalist system is driven by a single fundamental reality. You need money to operate. Employees like getting paid to work, vendors like being paid to supply you with goods and services, landlords like getting paid for the use of there building and Government, Well they really like getting that sweet Tax revenue. This means that regardless of your higher mission, and no matter how altruistic your companies goals at the end of the day your ability to do what you do is still depended on that bottom number being green rather than red.
It is that singular reality that has driven Health care costs up while service has gone down. Its why we pay more for air travel while being squeezed into ever smaller seats, and it is why Our tuition costs keep rising along with class sizes and the student to instructor ratios. Inflation and rising costs of just about everything from a carton of eggs to the rents paid by business has been going up and this has led a lot of companies to be forced to make some very difficult decisions in order to keep operating. after all, you can only raise prices so high before you price yourself out of the market. To make up the difference many companies are cutting costs where they can to try and stay competitive, this generally means cutting staff, cutting services, in short, cutting corners.
The Truth is that this is often not necessary. The issue is not with the cost structure but with the companies processes. If work intensive, repetitive processes can be improved upon or eliminated altogether the cost savings generated by the improved accuracy, reduced error rate, and lowered labor costs can then be reinvested to improve your companies services. This then leads to a competitive advantage and ultimately to higher incomes to counter the increasing costs. This, of course, is a simplified explanation of a rather complex topic but the point I am trying to make is that investments in proper processes and improvements in how a company operates represent a much more beneficial alternative to cost-cutting, labor reductions, and elimination of value-added services.
Let me use an example to illustrate my meaning. The healthcare sector happens to be an industry I am intimately familiar with so I will use that. Healthcare is also a big topic right now since the rising costs of healthcare are largely responsible for causing something of an epidemic in this country. So Imagine you are a Healthcare facility or even a single provider. If you know anything about the healthcare business you know that there are several metrics your accountant is looking out for. These are the Total Cost Per Patient (TCPP) and the Total Revenue Per Patient(TRPP). Now any first-year economics student can point out that the way to turn a profit and continue to service and help your patients is to ensure the former (TCPP) is lower than the later (TRPP). As the cost or labor, rent, medications, lab equipment, bandages and so on go up your TCPP slowly starts to go up. Since there is only so much money you as a provider are going to convince insurance companies, or better yet the government (in form of Medicaid) to fork out for a patient you are limited in how much you can reasonably charge. That means you are left with reducing cost. This often takes the form of downsizing nurses and doctors, cutting extra services such as outreach programs, and uninsured patient services, and possibly reducing the quality of equipment by buying cheaper (perhaps sub-par) alternatives. This, of course, has the downside of increasing wait times lowering quality of care, stressing out the employees who remain, increasing turnover, and burnouts and that is to say nothing of all the people who can't afford insurance who now cannot be seen due to cuts in the programs that would have previously given them access to health care.
This scenario sounds a little bleak but it is playing out at doctors offices and hospitals nationwide. The key to reducing costs without all this corner-cutting is to look at what processes are actually involved in operating a medical practice (big or small). Aside from the healthcare professional's salaries, of course, Healthcare is a business like any other. And like any other business, there is HR, Accounting, Billing, Facility management, Sales, Marketing and so on, all of the departments we would label as "Back office". It is on these parts of the business I want to focus. In my last blog post, I spoke of an example where we (Lysi Data Labs) automated the billing audit process of a healthcare provider (you can read more about that here). The cost saving in terms of labor cost and the increased revenue due to more accurate billing resulting in more accurate invoicing and Medicare reimbursements allowed the company to invest in a new service offering for mobility challenged patients. There are many similar processes that can be found in most business. From intake to record keeping to Billing and invoices, many of these functions require labor-intensive repetitive work. These functional parts of a business are also often overlooked as "necessary cost centers". By properly investing in up to date methods, education, and technology these back-office departments can be streamlined. Taking a look at some of the let's call them "time-honored" process and implementing New technologies such as automation and machine learning can help improve the accuracy not just of billing and accounting but most other back-office departments.
Using system integration and a little data intelligence, for example, we can reduce the amount of time and labor in the invoice and accounting cycles. If we automate the intake process with a simple webpage that patients could be allowed to access via a tablet while sitting in the waiting room and input their own information which would then be automatically sent to the facilities EMR (electronic medical record system). (It is at this point that I could go into a whole digression about also letting patients access media and games via those tablets and how that would reduce the annoyance at long wait times, but I'll save that for another post). Anyway, the system would look at the EMR to make the decision if the patient is new or an existing patient and either update only the new data or generate a new record in the EMR. Then once the patient has received service the system can quickly pull up a patients payer information at the time a service is rendered and pass that information to the billing system to automatically generating invoices to the insurance company and if there is a co-pay an invoice for the patient. that invoice could then be sent to the accounts payable system where it can pull the patient's email (or physical) address and generate an invoice. Meanwhile, the accounting software is updated with the new outstanding invoice and a corresponding amount due. This entire process can be record and reports generated for it. It also requires minimal input from employees and since the software has access to so many different sources of data it can run audits and sanity checks automatically to ensure all the information is correct.
This is just one simple example of how a limited investment in updating an old process with a little modern technology a dab of automation, and a sprinkel of integration, could help considerable lower the TCPP by reducing labor while improving accuracy and therefore improve income, all without compromising patient care or cutting corners. I know because I have had the pleasure of working with people to do exactly this sort of thing over the course of my carrier. The challenges companies face these days are real. And I for one do not blame managers, executives, and business owners for making hard choices to keep their companies doors open and serving their clients, customers, and patients. But I believe there is a better way. Instead of laying off employees, and skimping on the little niceties in an effort to reduce overhead a company can invest in the right technologies and the right processes. Reducing costs does not have to mean reducing service quality, you can, in fact, improve the quality of your products and services while reducing your costs and increasing your revenue. You just need to have an open mind and take a critical look at those parts of your business that may not have gotten the "update" treatment in the past few decades.

"Who's Next?" – 2K Announces Bill Goldberg as WWE® 2K17
Pre-Order Offer
WCW® and WWE® legend, film and television personality and former NFL defensive tackle
featured as two playable characters in upcoming edition of flagship WWE video game franchise
Sydney, Australia – June 1, 2016 – 2K today announced legendary WCW® and WWE® star Bill Goldberg will make his virtual return in WWE® 2K17, the forthcoming release in the flagship WWE video game franchise. Best known for his unprecedented 173-0 singles competition win streak in WCW from 1997 to 1998, Goldberg will appear in WWE 2K17 through two playable characters representing his WCW and WWE personas. The playable characters, along with two playable arenas – WCW Monday Nitro and Halloween Havoc – will be available on launch day for those who pre-order the game at participating retailers for the PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment systems, as well as Xbox One and Xbox 360. WWE 2K17 is currently scheduled for worldwide release in October 2016.
"After 12 years away from the business, I'm incredibly honored to work with WWE and 2K while following in the footsteps of such greats as Ultimate Warrior, Sting and Arnold Schwarzenegger," said Goldberg. "My son was a big part of this coming together, and I can't wait for him to see his dad kicking ass in a WWE ring through the magic of video games. I encountered the likes of The Rock, Triple H, Brock Lesnar and Ric Flair during my WWE career, and now through WWE 2K17, I'll be taking on the biggest and baddest Superstars of today – showing them once and for all that I am still 'Da Man!'"
During his WCW and WWE career, Goldberg held several notable championships, including the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, WWE World Heavyweight Championship, WCW United States Heavyweight Championship and the WCW World Tag Team Championship alongside WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart. In 1998, as a result of his in-ring success and growing popularity, WCW began counting Goldberg's consecutive wins on television. In addition, his popular catchphrase, "Who's Next?" quickly caught on with fans and in part defined his career.
Following his WWE retirement in 2004, Goldberg appeared in a number of films, including The Longest Yard and Universal Soldier: The Return. He also remained a national television fixture, joining the ninth season cast of the popular NBC reality series, The Celebrity Apprentice, and serving as host of Garage Mahal for two seasons on DIY Network. In addition to his film and television endeavors, Goldberg served as a color commentator for several mixed martial arts promotions and developed his own podcast, Who's Next with Goldberg, via PodcastOne. Goldberg was inducted into the Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in 2010.
"Goldberg's return to WWE action through two WWE 2K17 playable characters, along with the WCW Monday Nitro and Halloween Havoc arenas, collectively delivers a unique opportunity to experience one of WWE's true living legends," said Chris Snyder, Vice President of Marketing at 2K. "Fans can now relive many of their favorite Goldberg moments, as well as create brand new ones, as they decide 'Who's Next?' in the virtual ring."
Developed collaboratively by Yuke's and Visual Concepts, a 2K studio, WWE 2K17 is not yet rated. WWE 2K17 is currently scheduled for worldwide release on the PS4™ and PS3™ systems, Xbox One and Xbox 360 in October 2016.

Happy New Year to all of my lovely readers! I hope you have had a nice time over the holidays and ready to see 2019 in with a fresh look as it is after all a new year with new challenges and experiences; hopefully more good than bad. Although saying that we learn and grow from the not so pleasant things in life. This is NOT a "new year new me" post as in reality I have started to see myself in a less negative light in recent weeks. But I wanted to talk about a revisited challenge I am wanting to embark upon with regards to my mind and body being healthier.
"It always seems impossible until it is done" – this quote from the late, great Nelson Mandela really hits home when we start out on any new endeavour. This is not a new thing for me and it is definitely not a new years resolution as I never really keep them. This is something I have been trying to do on and off since I recovered from my ostomy surgery in 2016 and one thing after another put a halt to it or as I'm now trying look at is as it was just postponed.
For the first time in a long time when I look at myself I don't see someone who is fat; I am trying to see the word fat as just a describing word not a negative word as we all have it and need it to survive. No I am not entirely happy with the way I look but the way I am currently looking at it is:
- I have had two children
- I have had two surgeries to have my children
- I have had two major bowel surgeries
- I have limitations on what I can currently achieve but the goalposts will move as I progress
- I will never be societies version of perfect but I am 00Steve's
- I have a lot of scar tissue which may never flatten out
I am being kinder to myself than I have done in a very long time and I have decided to become healthier and fitter rather than focus on the numbers on the scales or on a tape measure. Each part of me that I am not so keen on my plan is to see it in a softer view by remembering what my body and mind has endured to get where it is now. I refuse to take part in diet culture and fads, it is incredibly bad for my mental health and just feeds into my eating disorder. I am using some old exercise plans that weren't too hard going or difficult to build me up slowly and I am using some old meals I used to enjoy that were well balanced and healthy. My current goals for the next two months at least are:
- Tone up my stomach, arms and back
- Have a healthier relationship with food
- Be an active mum again
- Regain my fitness like I had in 2014/15
- Exercise everyday even if it is just a walk
- Be happier about me again
- Don't focus on weight or measurements
I think these little goals are attainable in the long run and aren't feeding into any negativity that surrounds body shapes. I would like to tone up my stomach more for my ostomy as when my stomach is more rounded the appliances don't stick as well and are more likely to let leaks happen. So that is more of a practical thing than a weight loss issue as I am aware due to how my body has healed from surgeries it probably won't ever get flat. Also in clothes I don't look as bad as I sometimes think I do wearing just my underwear. But it is most definitely not the end of the world and I think that is the first step to getting healthier.
I have set myself two months to be at least a bit stronger and fitter to the point I find some of my exercises easier and as by then the weather is due to turn to spring I may be able to look at running again. Now that is my ultimate goal but due to the hypermobility in my knees and hips it may never get to the point I do 9/10 mile runs again but I would like to remain optimistic about it all. Especially as I walked to the shop this morning and the high street was full of runners ready to do the turkey run and I was overwhelmed with sadness as in 2014 I did it slowly and came last but I did it and loved it. Trail running and I were good friends once upon a time.
I also started my exercises last week so it didn't feel like it was a new year new you thing. So far I have done either a walk or a workout so I am quite proud of myself. Are you thinking about exercising or eating healthier this year? Do you have an ostomy or hypermobility?

Swans - the '80s
Swans destroyed rock music. They took it apart, disseminated its innards and then reassembled it, all in the span of 6 years. The debut album is worthy of its title, undeniably one of the ugliest records ever made. But by the end of the decade, Swans produced some of the most beautiful music. And thus has been the duality ever since.

Gas is nearly $3 a gallon, so if you're planning a dining day trip, it better be a place where the prices are more 1986 than 2006. How does a one-third–pound grilled Angus burger on a challah bun for $5, stuffed shells with four cheeses, fine herbs, and sweet tomato sauce for $9, or roasted pork tenderloin rubbed with fennel seeds, Dijon mustard, and served with caramelized onions, green apples, a vegetable, and mashed Yukon potatoes for $17 grab you? I thought so. Then wind south on scenic Wisconsin 35 and end up in the Mississippi River town of Alma. There you will find Kate and Gracie's, a little gem named after the mothers of owners Ed and Laurie. The name might be small-town quaint, but the place is not—warm moss tones, a James Wrayge painting on the wall, and ample booths. The menu, supported by a full bar and well-chosen wines, runs from cheese-stuffed pasta shells with sweet tomato sauce to a toothsome steak with pungent tarragon butter, and ends with scratch desserts, all made by Laurie (raspberry cheesecake, please). Linger over an after-dinner drink and gaze west over the Mississippi at Lock and Dam 4. Once in a while, freight trains go by to remind you that sometimes life really is that simple. For a minute or two, it will make you forget that you have to go back.

Transmitting particles from Earth to a satellite is a bit more difficult than sending them back, because they start out in the turbulent atmosphere.
This means that any slight deviations in their course will have a greater effect over the entire distance.
I have proofread this set of documents extensively, but should you find any typographical errors in it, please let me know.
Chinese researchers have successfully transmitted quantum entangled particles from a station on earth to a satellite orbiting far overhead.
Transferring these so-called "qubits" allows information to be relayed securely and instantaneously.
When a particle is entangled with another, everything that happens to one affects the other.
It relies upon chronometry, which is also known as timekeeping, and historiography, which examines the writing of history and the use of historical methods.
The Epic of Gilgamesh is, perhaps, the oldest written story on Earth.
takes an in depth look into one of the seven wonders of the world, the Great Pyramids of Egypt.
Mystery has surrounded these epic structures for centuries with theories varying from the scientific to the bizarre.
From a mountaintop station in Nepal, they transmitted a beam of photons to the satellite as it passed directly overhead, a distance of some 300 miles.
They kept the other half of the entangled pair on earth, and by measuring them both, confirmed the quantum link held.
The experiment is part of an ongoing effort by researchers using the Micius satellite to achieve long-distance quantum communication, a feat that would yield hacker-proof information networks.

What is anemia and what typically is the cause pertaining to anemia? There have always been various types for anemia, but throughout general, anemia definitely is a blood health issue. First, let everybody explain the position of the oxygenated blood and how that will works. The blood flow has several very important functions: 1) to make sure you carry oxygen anywhere from our lungs to make sure you tissues in the best body; 2) and carry waste choices from the produce we eat; 3) to regulate each of our ability to clot; 4) to get a grip of our body temperature; 5) to manage the amount connected water and electrolytes in our body; and 6) of protect us coming from harmful organisms thanks to antibodies and the best white blood cellular structure.
There are usually 3 designs of blood flow cells: lilac blood cells, white blood vessels cells not to mention platelets. Some red physique cells lug around oxygen, caucasian blood materials fight down infection, but also platelets clog our circulation. Aplastic anemia is when your bodily stops earning enough maintain cells. Where your whole stops providing enough maintain cells, that is when you are already at concurrent risk of blood loss to the demise (hemopheliacs knowledge from this) or customers are on risk at getting ailments (AIDS customers are predisposed to this). https://catatanmini.com/penyakit-anemia/
When the actual body is probably suffering from the Anemia unquestionably the kidneys can't seem to send an adequate amount of of a complete hormone branded erythropoietin with the bone tissue marrow merely because of a new lack most typically associated with red the blood cells. Their bone marrow cannot cultivate red oxygenated blood cells seeing that of these lack linked with the hormone imbalances. Red blood cannot have enough air flow to some kidneys needed for the erythropoietin hormone growth.
Because created by this round-robin effect, Anemia can evolved into life threads quite in a flash. Anemia may be really hard to define during the product's early development because your current symptoms might just be benign and the game can quite possibly be easily erroneous for difficulties of many diseases or alternatively the doors effects associated with medication.
Some from the difficulties of anemia are fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, dizziness, one rapid body beat, suffering cold, depression, and soft skin. when the psyche does not really get required oxygen so it can happen to be hard as a way to read, be able to write or conduct basic every single day activities.
It definitely is important to help you see that physician in a case where you can be experiencing hefty fatigue or possibly a any coming from all the different kinds of symptoms quoted above.
Some most typically associated with the trigger of Anemia are plasma loss, illness such by means of kidney health issues or navicular cancer. Anemia can aside from that be a person's side affect of medication, poor died, and vitamin products or the form of iron deficiencies.
The the vast majority of common sign is low. We mostly get tired, from moment to time, but the type of fatigue underlying cause by anemia is just one of disproportionate dead weakness.
Sometimes golf iron deficiency anemia can leading cause extreme urges such due to a extremely hungry appetite for the purpose of ice. Particular woman consumed a five-pound block connected ice as well as a her groom took your spouse to often the doctor like her bashing of snowfall all daytime kept jacob awake.
Anemia would be noticed by a functional standard hematocrit blood push. The hematocrit blood analyze measures ones percentage towards blood is paid up related with red retain cells.

When people consider estate planning, the first thing that may cross their mind is often a simple will they purchase online. But maybe you have now begun to give some thought as to how you would like your assets distributed to your heirs, and perhaps you are now considering memorializing your intentions as it relates to those distributions, etc. Regardless of where you are in life or the planning process, I can help you make all necessary arrangements to protect your interests and the well-being of your family.
You can sit down with me at my office in Fishkill to ask questions regarding wills, trusts and other estate planning documents during a free informational meeting.
By Planning Today You Will Be Prepared For Tomorrow
At the Law Office of Rachel Flanagan Frost, I understand that planning for the future can be unsettling. Making after-life arrangements and other considerations is unpleasant for many. However, it's important to address these difficult issues early and often. If questions regarding nursing home arrangements, powers of attorney and the distribution of your estate are left unanswered, you are leaving your family with emotional and financial burdens and hardships that could have been avoided with some advance planning.
Some of the most common types of estate planning instruments I help people implement include:
- Wills;
- Irrevocable and Revocable Trusts, including, Minor Trusts, Special Needs Trusts and Medicaid Trusts;
- Health Care directives and Living Wills;
- Powers of Attorney
In many cases, we will want to use these and other estate planning tools to construct a comprehensive plan that can adapt as your needs change. Perhaps you have recently gone through a divorce, remarried, or a loved one has suffered a disability and his or her needs have changed; these and other life events often necessitate adjustments to your estate. To ensure your documents are up to date, join me and let's work together to protect your family's future.

Digital Security While Traveling
August 22, 2018
Categories: Safety, Travel Tips, Security and Intelligence
Both your safety and your vital digital information can be compromised when you travel. As a responsible traveler, it is important to understand the risks and learn how to protect yourself when you're in a foreign country with unknown digital threats. Doing your "digital diligence" in advance can save you from some major headaches, including compromised private data, theft of personal information and even stolen identities.
Global Rescue's security and intelligence personnel recommend travelers take these precautions to help protect their personal information:
While traveling in a foreign country, it is generally safe to assume that government organizations, criminals, or both could be targeting your private information and monitoring your online behavior.
While this may not always be the case, it will help establish a security-conscious mindset and make you more aware of what you're doing on your phone or your computer. It is rare that authorities will confront a traveler regarding their online behavior, but you should still be concerned with protecting your privacy and preventing the compromise of any sensitive information, including personal identity, bank account information, family relationships, etc.
Be aware of the political climate in your destination country.
Conditions can range widely in terms of privacy of electronic communication. In some countries, comments made on social media can result in fines or arrests, or may result in additional questioning or scrutiny during customs screening. It is always safer to avoid making any political, social, religious, or other controversial comments online while traveling and in some cases, even before travel.
Understand your unique risk profile.
For instance, if you are a journalist traveling to an illiberal country to report on a controversial topic, you may be more susceptible to hacking attempts or monitoring. You may need to take more precautions, whereas if you are a tourist going to a Western or democratic country, the risks will be significantly less.
Maintain a low electronic footprint while traveling
Limit or avoid social media activity while in-country, which can reveal personal information, location and other sensitive information. Avoid sharing itinerary information. Maintain private settings on all profiles. Ensure any location tracking mechanisms on your phone are disabled.
To the greatest extent possible, maintain positive control over all electronic devices (cell phones, tablets, laptops, etc.) by keeping them with you at all times.
If this is not practical, use a safe in the hotel room to store electronic devices while not in the room. Password protect all electronic devices. Utilize a different password for each device. Consider storing all work files in an encrypted container located on a removable storage device that is secured when not in use, or store data on the cloud rather than on your device.
Utilize a hardline internet connection whenever possible
Wi-Fi connections are easily monitored or hacked by third parties. Use of a virtual private network (VPN) can also reduce this threat when using Wi-Fi.
Do not send any emails while overseas on any private or personal issues that can wait until you are home.
Alert friends and family of your trip before you leave and make sure they do not send you any sensitive or private information while you are traveling.
Never plug an unknown USB flash drive into your computer or other device.
Do not charge a phone or other device with a USB unless it is connected directly to an electric outlet. Consider an external battery charger so you do not have to connect your device to outlets.
Ensure Bluetooth and all wireless functions are turned off when not in use
Do not connect to public or unsecured Wi-Fi networks, including at airports, train stations and other public areas. If wireless connectivity is essential, utilize a virtual private network (VPN) and do not conduct sensitive business, such as online banking. Consider utilizing a "clean" device for typing purposes that never touches the internet. Erase all unneeded documents and personal photos from devices before travel.

Game of Thrones has its Highgarden, but more and more landscapes are becoming spotted with high gardens of their own. The 20,000 or so plants growing on top of Chicago's City hall help to reduce the urban heat island effect, conserve energy, and mitigate storm water run-off. Green roof building is exploding over airports, factories, retail spaces, schools etc.
In 2016 San Fransisco became the first US city to legislate that 30% of the budget of new construction needed to account for green roofs or solar panels.
Ford's Dearborn Michigan plant is covered in 454,000 sq ft of sedum.
It serves as nesting ground for some birds and is estimated to conserve about 10 degrees of energy costs in summer cooling and winter heating.
Because many succulents are such low-maintenance plants, their use in green roofs is popular and growing more so daily. Prepackaged carpets of sedum have been used to cover the roofs of some very large industrial buildings. The Rolls-Royce Motor Car plant in England boasts the largest green roof in the UK, with a 242,000 sq ft roof of these flowering succulents.
The five rounded drops surrounding the center star are the flower of this sedum. We can only collect this piece in late March when the plant flowers. That gives us only a couple weeks to cast pieces for the rest of the year.
The depth in this plant makes it too intricate to mold. So each piece is an original. It's August as I write this and we're down to our last few pieces of this variety of sedum in bloom. Below is a photo of my sister's lawn after the bloom- around May when the plant is starting to mature.

We need to find our compassion
The monsters who commit unspeakable crimes by killing their partners or children were once children with good, innocent hearts.
Our society lacks love, compassion and empathy.
We are psychologically damaged and are not aware of the gravity and insidious consequences of this.
I am shocked when I hear people say I can relate with what the victim is going through because I am a woman, or because I am raising a girl-child.
We must go back to the basics of humanity that demand that we do not hurt others. And that is what we must inculcate in our children.
We must teach them love, compassion, empathy and respect.
The last thing we need is polarisation. We have a moral obligation to fix all this by getting together as humans.

When Taylor Wicks joined the Centennial High School football team as a freshman in 2007 after having little previous experience with the sport, he never dreamed he'd end up falling in love with it.
When Taylor Wicks joined the Centennial High School football team as a freshman in 2007 after having little previous experience with the sport, he never dreamed he'd end up falling in love with it.
It's that kind of attitude that he's seen among many of his teammates the last two years, even through what has become one of the darkest periods in the program's history in terms of wins and losses.
After beating Linden-McKinley 31-20 on Oct. 13, 2006, the Stars have suffered back-to-back 0-10 seasons and take a 22-game losing streak into their opener Friday against visiting Hartley.
The season Centennial had a year ago was even worse than its winless 2007 season in terms of margin of defeat.
The Stars scored only 42 points all season, and four of the losses had a margin of defeat greater than that total, including a 96-0 loss to Beechcroft in week eight.
"It's definitely hard to keep the morale and keep our spirits up," Wicks said. "But it comes down to do you truly love the game. I'm a firm believer that if you keep working hard, it can't get any worse."
Pat Sergio, who has coached the Stars to a 48-172 record in 22 seasons, never gets tired of watching his players grow as athletes and students despite the struggles of the program.
"As a coach, you see the progress they make in the course of a season," Sergio said. "You also get to see them graduate and become successful people. Do you like to get the snot knocked out of you every night? No. But it's kind of out of our control. We're put in a situation that's not a very good situation. We're a very strong academic school. These kids are good students and they want to be athletes, and I give a lot of credit to all of my high school players because they give up close to all of their summer."
The Stars, who are one of five City League-North Division schools competing in Division II, Region 7, will have just six seniors.
Anthony Aulette (5-foot-11, 191 pounds) is the only senior among the team's four captains and is in his fourth season with the program. In addition to being the starting fullback, he will be the middle linebacker of a defensive that will alternate between a 3-5-3 and a 3-3-5 look.
Wicks (5-9, 201), who also is a captain along with juniors Di'Andre Harrison (6-3, 204) and Richard Lee (5-9, 195), will be the free safety.
Harrison and Lee will be at defensive end, senior Tyresse Fobbs (5-7, 178) will be at tackle and senior Josiah Steward -- who is the team's largest player at 6-4, 295 -- also will fill a key role on the line.
Juniors Anthony Jackson (5-7, 163) and Raymond Sessley (5-10, 189) should join Aulette at linebacker, with junior Dan Neutzling (5-11, 151) and sophomore Keenen Smith (5-11, 140) at cornerback. Junior Victor Trego (6-0, 152) and junior Wesley Russell (6-1, 168) also will be regulars in the secondary.
"With Taylor and Anthony (Aulette), we should always have somebody back there who can make a tackle and fill the gap," Sergio said.
The Stars experimented with the single-wing in 2007 and a spread offense last year but likely will show a tradition I-formation offense this year, with Russell likely to return at quarterback. Junior Paul Goble (5-8, 160) also could see time at that position.
Wicks and Aulette should be the primary running backs, with Neutzling, Smith and Trego the wide receivers and Harrison at tight end.
Steward and senior John Jones Jr. (5-8, 243) should be the offensive tackles, with Lee, sophomore Angel Leeman (5-9, 193) at guard and senior Justin Mathews (5-8, 255) at center.
Goble is expected to be the kicker and Trego and junior Jerome Lacey (6-0, 171) are battling at punter.
"We're pleased," Sergio said. "We feel we're ahead of where we were last year at this time. We've got quite a few sophomores and juniors and a lot of them last year were starting when they were first-year football players."

The ECB and Bank of Japan's first "Project Stella" Report: How will this impact FinTech and financial market infrastructure in the EU-27 and the Eurozone's Banking Union?
On 5 September 2017, the European Central Bank's (ECB), acting in its central bank and not its supervisory role, together with the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) published a joint research report: "Payment systems: liquidity savings mechanisms in a distributed ledger environment" (the September report). This publication is timely in as much as it is forward-thinking in its findings and proposals. This Client Alert provides an evaluation of the September report and how "Project Stella", a joint research project that was set up by the ECB and BOJ in December 2016 might shape the future of financial markets. Whilst promising, Stella's September report tempered any prospect of immediate replacement by stating that: "Given the relative immaturity of the technology, DLT is not a solution for large-scale applications like BOJ-NET and TARGET2 at this stage of this development." As Stella continues to progress and FinTech comes of age, this initial conclusion might change.

Ed's snoozefest about local government infrastructure reorganisation in Birmingham today has not set the world on fire, despite the protestations of his adoring fans:
There is one interesting thing to note though, this is yet another nail in the Ed Balls coffin. As Rawnsley deigned to tell us a week or so ago, Balls has been fighting the local devolution policy, which he described as a "profound and important fault-line with big implications for how Labour might govern". On one side of the fight was Cruddas, Andonis and Byrne with opposition "coming from more conventionally-minded types on both left and right". Like Balls:
"Ed Balls is regarded as a key figure in this debate. There is a traditional Treasury objection to loosening the reins of control, which is almost invariably shared by chancellors and would-be chancellors."
Well Miliband sided against Balls. Again…

Intellectual piracy, censorship on agenda
Seattle Times business reporter
Talk About It
How should the U.S. treat China's rising economic and political power? Add your views — and read what others have to say — in our forum.
On a white board inside a nondescript conference room on the Microsoft campus, the names of visiting Chinese dignitaries and Microsoft executives are lined up in a sketch of a receiving line, along with notes about presentations and translators.
It's testament to the painstaking detail the company has considered to ensure its meetings with Chinese President Hu Jintao today go smoothly.
Protocol is always important to the Chinese. It's even more so on this occasion: Microsoft is the first foreign company Hu will visit as president.
"We've been working very hard day and night to try to get everything nailed down," said Fengming Liu, general manager of corporate and government affairs for Microsoft China. "We'll continue to work on it until show time."
The visit comes at a time when tensions between Washington, D.C., and Beijing have increased over trade issues and concerns about Chinese censorship of the Internet.
Pulling it off will require a delicate dance. On one hand, his hosts have to bring up topics that matter here, among employees and the public. On the other, they have to be careful not to offend their first-time guests.
Both Microsoft and China have a lot at stake in their relationship.
The visit fits in with China's aims over the next five years to move beyond low-wage, resource-intensive manufacturing and become a more technology-driven economy, said Tim Chen, Microsoft CEO for the Greater China Region.
Microsoft executives will accompany Hu on a tour of the company's Home of the Future and may talk about some projects under way in Microsoft's Beijing research lab.
"For him it's important to look at newer technology," Chen said. "Software is very critical to the knowledge economy."
Chen said he expects Hu to focus his scheduled policy speech Wednesday on U.S.-China issues, including intellectual property, the main thorn in Microsoft's side. Gates will introduce Hu before the speech. Last week, as a prelude to Hu's visit, China announced rules requiring that new computers be sold with legal, not pirated, software.
But Internet censorship has been, in some ways, a tougher issue. U.S. companies want to offer e-mail, blog sites and other services to a growing Chinese market. They've had to comply with onerous censorship laws within China at the same time they face increasing pressure from Congress and the U.S. public not to do so.
After years of difficulty, Microsoft and the Chinese government have finally found some common ground on intellectual-property protection, said Pamela Passman, vice president for global corporate affairs. They'll try to do the same on the censorship issue, one of a range of topics expected to come up during discussions in Redmond.
"We think there's opportunity for the Chinese government, the U.S. government and Chinese and U.S. industries to have a dialogue," she said.

You always have a special occasion dress for gracing a special occasion. However, there are so many styles, designs, types an collections present so making the selection of a compatible outfit really gets very difficult. But things can be simplified and you can make an appropriate choice it all about following some basic steps to get the desired and wedding gowns with sleeves. Let's put a look at some important points, which can help you in selecting a good dress.
• First of all it is important you need investigate about a fabric's quality. Special occasion outfits are normally made using cotton, linen and silk etc. but you need to understand that your selected fabric should be in accordance with prevailing season. In simple words you need to wear thicker fabrics during winters and thinner fabric should be selected during summers and springs.
• Next comes the length of fabric and this is something really very important for picking the dress of right length. For informal occasions you need to wear short dress. On the other hand if you are invited to a highly formal dinner party, then prefer to go with outfits will longer lengths, which should be touching ankles.
• The style followed by neckline and sleeve's length is also important aspects, which are often ignored. Well toned arms look pretty decent with short sleeves. However, if you think that your arms are too long or not in proper shape then go with long sleeves they will not only cover your flaws, but also look elegant with stylish wedding gowns with sleeves.
• Color of dress is another important factor because we all know that color can bring radical changes and some of these changes can bring many strong influences. If you prefer to wear an outfit, which can look good not only during days, but also night, then prefer to go with neutral colors. Pastel colors are considered as ideal for special occasions and for winter parties the ideal strategy is to go with dark colored dresses. However, for cheap wedding dresses you need to follow some different strategy.
• Most importantly your selected dress has to show compatibility with special occasion that you are attending. It is simple to understand that an outfit, which is appropriate for a dinner is simply not going to look good at a wedding ceremony. Like cheap wedding dresses related options are not considered for college reunions. Therefore, one has to make the selection in a wise manner like the dress of a bridesmaid and bride has to be very different.
These are some important points, which you need to consider and if they are followed then making an ideal selection really gets easier and quick. In case you have financial limitations, then finding an appropriate outfit further gets harder. However, if you will prefer to find a wedding gowns with sleeves with online options, then there are many choices capable of entertaining you requirements. Simply explore your options and visit dressilyme. Here, you are going to find an ideal collection of outfits.

Chakra meditation is a type of meditation that is done to help bring balance and relaxation to the chakras. Our chakras are the energy vortexes or wheels in seven different sections of our body that help to guide and control the flow of energy through our different systems. Each of the chakras commands a different area of not just the physical body but the spiritual body and the psyche as well. When our chakras are balanced, neither blocked preventing energy from flowing easily nor over-active and forcing too much energy out too quickly, our body is in harmony with itself. If a chakra is out of balance we will fall ill, feel sluggish, and may have problems with our mental health such as anxiety and depression.
Different Types of Chakra Meditation
Each of the different chakras has colors, scents, essential oils, foods, sounds and even mantra's that help to open and balance them. But there are some general steps in chakra meditation that you can take that will apply to all the chakras. First, you will want to get into a comfortable sitting position with your spine straight but not stiff. You want to be able to relax and channel that relaxation through your whole body. It's best to start with your feet and work your way up to the crown of your head, waiting until each section of your body is fully relaxed before trying to move on to the next one. Once you are relaxed, focus your attention on your breath. You want to naturally move into a steady and deep breath, but don't force yourself. Forcing yourself to achieve a 'meditative' breath will simply tense your body back up again. Your mind may wander. Do not judge the thoughts that come to you. Allow them to pass on and bring your mind back to focus on your breaths as you steadily breathe in and out.
Practicing Meditation
As you work on your breaths and become more focused you will want to start visualizing the oxygen as it comes into your lungs. Visual its journey as it passes into your bloodstream and nourishes your body. See it as it helps your body remove toxins and then visual exhaling those toxins as you breathe out. When you are ready, begin visualizing your heart as it beats, pulsing your life giving blood through your body in a perfect circuit. See the connection between your breaths and this critical part of your existence. When you are ready, begin to allow yourself to see the air you breathe as energy. Picture it as a light yellow color. Allow it to surround you and seep into your aura, as it does so visual your aura as it grows stronger and brighter. Control the infusion of this energy in your aura, let your aura's strength grow slowly and steadily rather than in a big, unsustainable rush.
Chakra Energy
Once you have established this foundation for your body, begin visualizing the swirling centers of energy, your chakra's. Begin with the root chakra in your lower back. As you breathe in, picture it's clockwise flow of energy, feel the energy from the very earth rising up and infusing the chakra with a steady, grounding supply of energy. Allow this ground energy to move up, chakra by chakra, in a steady and connected stream of energy. Do not rush through them. Allow each chakra to fill up with energy before moving on to the next. Each of them should be able to energize the chakra above while maintaining their own energy and not being depleted by the exchange. When you are ready, open your eyes and continue to remain seated and relaxed. Pay attention to how energized you feel and thank your body for working with you.

YouTube is rolling out a standalone app for its new TV service, but people hoping to stream content on Amazon's Fire TV device are out of luck.
After debuting YouTube TV in April, YouTube announced today that its $35-per-month streaming service will also be available on a new YouTube TV app for Android TV devices, Xbox One devices, smart TVs, and Apple TV. It was previously available on mobile, desktop, and Chromecast.
One popular device that won't have the app is Amazon's Fire TV.
As Recode reported Monday, this is seems to be the latest in an ongoing spat between Amazon and Google, which have a "funny relationship with each other," as Android Authority noted.
Last month, Google dropped support for YouTube on the Echo Show, Amazon's first Echo device that features a touchscreen and debuted this summer. Google said that Amazon's "implementation of YouTube on the Echo Show violates our terms of service, creating a broken user experience." YouTube is still unavailable on the Echo Show.
Amazon, meanwhile, does not sell Google's Chromecast device on its retail website. Amazon Prime Video also does not include support for Chromecast.
Asked about a YouTube TV app for Fire TV, a YouTube spokesperson told GeekWire that "we're starting with the devices mentioned, and we'll continue working to expand the list of partners."
We've reached out to Amazon for comment and will update this story when we hear back.
Amazon has dealt with similar disagreements with Apple — it stopped selling the Apple TV on its website in 2015, for example — though Apple did announce in June that the Amazon Prime Video app would be available on Apple TV.

Students can access the ANZAC activities and information via a computer with an Internet connection. However if you are short on computer access, you'll be looking for another pathway. Try one of these:
Print out the activities and make these available to the students in a learning centre. Students could access information on the computer.
Print out both activities and information to have available in a learning centre. Children could still access the information via the computer, however having printouts available, as well as a selection of books - will keep everyone busy and happy!
If the above option was put into action, computers could be used as an option for a presentation tool when completing some of the activities.
Encourage your students to e-mail Brainways Mouse with your class's ideas. In order to know how to fill out the e-mail message box and send the e-mail, the following 'help sheet' could be handy! E-mailing Brainways mouse. This could be printed out and displayed beside your classroom computer.
