WASHINGTON — Alexandria, Virginia, is among the top "digital cities" in the nation for using technology to connect with people and improve citizen services.
Digital cities winners "leverage technology to enhance inclusion and solve social challenges," according to the Center for Digital Government, which conducts the survey. In the nationwide rankings for cities in the 125,000-to-249,999 population category, Alexandria tied for 10th place with Hampton, Virginia. Also in that category: Norfolk, Virginia, is ranked third.
"Alexandria is very proud to have been ranked among the top 10 cities of its size in the 2017 Digital Cities Survey," said Craig Fifer, spokesman for the City of Alexandria.
Two factors that helped Alexandria earn its ranking involve social media and traffic.
"We have a project to dynamically adjust traffic signal timing based on vehicle volume," Fifer said. "As the volume on a route increases during rush hour, for example, the traffic signal would weigh the traffic on the main road versus the feeder roads, so we keep as much traffic moving as possible."
One example of citizens being served by social media engagement would be a major snow storm. When more snow is coming down than can be removed within a few hours, Fifer said, that's considered an emergency, because it affects people's ability to move throughout the city.
In that case, Fifer said, social media can be used to both distribute and collect useful information.
"This incorporates geocoding, hashtags (and) keywords in terms of finding out what is going on in the community during an emergency," Fifer said. "And it involves the city using text and photo and video on social media during emergencies to inform the community about what's going on and any actions that might need to be taken."
The survey also took into consideration city expansion of customer account and payment portals, allowing people to manage accounts and electronically pay for things such as fines, personal property and real estate taxes.
Alexandria has made the top 10 list for digital cities of its size for 13 consecutive years. In part, Fifer said, because long-term financial planning considers information technology systems and projects to be capital projects, much like new buildings or facility improvements.
"Alexandria was actually only the second city in the country that used its capital improvement program for information technology projects," Fifer said.

So, I got this super cute jeans and red dotted fabric from my little brother- I was so excited that I started to sew right the next day!
I cut out back and front from the jeans-fabric, I chose a length of 65cm and sewed the two parts together on the right side.
Afterwards, I sewed a broad band of the red fabric and added it to the inside of the mini-dress.
Now,it is ready for my next day in the city!!!

Trump's nominee for the forthcoming vacancy is Brett Kavanaugh, a United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Unless Republicans cross the floor to block the appointment, Kavanaugh will be sworn in before mid-term elections. Before that happens, he will have to face what is likely to be hostile questioning from Democrat senators.
The nomination comes after Anthony Kennedy, a moderate and 'swing voter' on the bench announced his plans to retire.
Trump insisted the decision was an apolitical one. "In keeping with President Reagan's legacy, I do not ask about a nominee's personal opinions. What matters is not a judge's political views, but whether they can set aside those views to do what the law and the constitution require," he said.
"I am pleased to say that I have found, without doubt, such a person.
"Judge Kavanaugh has impeccable credentials and a proven commitment to equal justice under the law — he is considered a judge's judge, a true thought leader among his peers.
"He is a brilliant jurist, with a clear and effective writing style, universally regarded as one of the finest and sharpest legal minds of our time."
His son Donald Jr. was less circumspect in trumpeting Kavanuagh's conservative credentials. Before the announcement, he took to Twitter to predict that "Liberal tears (would) be flowing" over the choice.
.@realDonaldTrump: "Tonight it is my honor and privilege to announce that I will nominate Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court." pic.twitter.com/5jrIvuUVxa
— The White House (@WhiteHouse) July 10, 2018
Kavanaugh was not initially considered one of the frontrunners for the vacancy in recent discussions although he did appear on the list of 25 potential Supreme Court justices Trump made available last year. He has strong connections to the Republican party however and worked in the Solicitor General's office during George H.W Bush's presidency. He was also involved in the Flordia recount in 2000 and was a prominent member of Lawyers for Bush-Cheney.
The nomination can be seen as the culmination of a lengthy process where Trump worked behind the scenes to assure Kennedy his legacy was in safe hands if he chose to retire. Kennedy knows Kavanaugh well; the latter had previously clerked for the retiring justice. Neil Gorsuch, Trump's previous Supreme Court appointment, had also clerked for Kennedy.
*Flash Flood Warning Tonight at 9PM EST*
This is not a joke. Liberal tears will be flowing like Niagara Falls when #POTUS announces his second #SCOTUS pick.
Please take all necessary precautions & bring an inner tube or boogie board to ride this blue wave. 😂🇺🇸😂🇺🇸😂#maga
— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) July 9, 2018
Trump had also worked closely with a group of conservative and libertarian lawyers called the Federalist Society to make the decision.
It is expected Kavanaugh's appointment, when confirmed, will have a pronounced impact on cases hinging on abortion access and LGBTQ rights. When campaigning for the presidency, Trump promised to appoint Supreme Court judges who were determined to overturn Roe v Wade, the monumental case which affirmed the legality of abortion.
Kavanaugh has also advocated conservative positions on immigration, gun control, business regulations and oversight of the finance industry.
Who is Justice Brett Kavanaugh?
Thr 53-year-old Kavanaugh was appointed to the Federal bench by George W. Bush back in 2003. The Democrats saw him as partisan and held up his appointment.
Former US President George W. Bush hailed Kavanaugh as a "brilliant jurist who has faithfully applied the Constitution" during his tenure on the D.C Circuit.
"President Trump has made an outstanding decision," Former President George W. Bush says in a statement on Judge Brett Kavanaugh being nominated to the Supreme Court. https://t.co/uRPKIrJlQo pic.twitter.com/XplxNEzbWx
— Fox News (@FoxNews) July 10, 2018
At today's announcement, he said he had been influenced by his mother, who started out as a school teacher and later become a trial judge.
"Her example told me the importance of equality for all Americans," he said.
"My mum was a trailblazer. When I was 10, she went to law school and became a prosecutor.
"My introduction to law came at our dinner table when she practised her closing arguments.
"Her trademark line was 'Use your common sense. What rings true, what rings false?' That's good advice for a juror and for a son."
Kavanaugh studied law at Yale. Remarkably, every current justice of the Supreme Court completed at least part of their legal education at either Harvard or Yale.
After his clerkship with Kennedy, Kavanaugh worked for Associate Counsel Ken Starr on the impeachment of Bill Clinton. He was one of the principal authors of the Starr Report to Congress. He has since changed his position on presidential impeachments and now believes presidents should be exempt from civil prosecutions while in office.
Kavanaugh as a circuit judge
Kavanaugh has been characterised as a textualist, meaning he views the language of the relevant statute(s) as the primary interpretive tool. Under this approach, the project of the judge is to determine the objective meaning of the legislation as written rather than attempting to ascertain the intention of the law's drafters.
In 2015, he wrote a dissenting opinion stating that provisions in the Affordable Health Care for America Act mandating insurers cover contraception infringed on religious freedom.
The same year, he wrote a brisk opinion rejecting a challenge to the constitutionality of the government collecting metadata without a warrant. The practice had been exposed by whistleblower Edward Snowden.
"The Fourth Amendment allows governmental searches and seizures without individualized suspicion when the Government demonstrates a sufficient "special need" – that is, a need beyond the normal need for law enforcement – that outweighs the intrusion on individual liberty" he wrote.
#ScotusPick "On behalf of our six million members, the NRA strongly supports Judge Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court. We will be activating our members and tens of millions of supporters throughout the country in support of Judge Kavanaugh." – @ChrisCoxNRA pic.twitter.com/SeC3bcjXVK
— NRA (@NRA) July 10, 2018
The National Rifle Association (NRA) welcomed the announcement. "We will be activating our members and tens of millions of supporters throughout the country in support of Judge Kavanaugh," it wrote on Twitter.
Critics of Kavanaugh's appointment
Kamala Harris, a Democrat Senator for California (and possible 2020 presidential candidate) said on Twitter she would oppose the appointment.
Whether or not the Supreme Court enforces the spirit of the words "Equal Justice Under Law," is determined by the individuals who sit on that Court. Brett Kavanaugh represents a fundamental threat to that promise of equality. I will oppose his nomination to the Supreme Court.
— Kamala Harris (@SenKamalaHarris) July 10, 2018
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer also said he would vigorously resist Kavanaugh's nomination. "In selecting Judge Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court, President Trump has put reproductive rights and freedoms and health care protections for millions of Americans on the judicial chopping block," he wrote in a statement.
Women's health advocates were also concerned about the nomination of Kavanaugh. Planned Parenthood said his appointment could threaten access to legal and safe abortion.
The American Council of Civil Liberties (ACLU) also voiced its opposition. On Twitter, it described Kavanaugh as potentially "the decisive vote the president needs to ensure that his concerted campaign to undermine civil liberties and civil rights has long-term impact."

One thing I'd like to underline: the Cuban players have the right to switch nationality if it's the only way to compete at the Olympics. The methods might not be ethical, but it's not their fault if Cuba refuses to let compete in the biggest event of an athlete's life. Anyone in this forum would switch nationality in a heartbeat if it meant competing at the Olympics, even more with chances of winning a medal. Let's not blame national federations for it, we're still far behind Qatar and Bahrain.
Wilfredo Leon in NT Poland 2019
And for the unlucky who missed it in tv, where can we find it?
I keep crossing only with news like this: http://www.federvolley.it/news…izzazione-il-tesseramento
Here it's clear the Federation worked to have him playing in Italy, but not in the Italian NT...
I have no idea. I remember during the Serie A1 matches they used to talk about him and how wonderful would be having him in NT since at the time Italy was going around the world with people like Birarelli and Beretta... But according to them he always said no because he's cuban and doesn't want to play against his country.
Ok thanks
Good luck bro'. I just hope that things turn out well for him personally.
I hope so - I like Leon as a nice person/excellent player and ... as I remember he also refused to accept invition from Russian NT.

Horse Feathers: Enigmatic And Artfully Slurred
Curs in the Weeds
Tuesday's Pick
- Song: "Curs in the Weeds"
- Artist: Horse Feathers
- CD: House With No Home
- Genre: Folk-Pop
Horse Feathers' songs may have words — enigmatic, artfully slurred words — but in many ways, the band might as well play instrumentals. Its two excellent albums, 2006's Words Are Dead and the forthcoming House With No Home, offer up rustic, vaguely doomstruck atmosphere more than they convey discrete hooks and distinct messages. But it's always beautiful atmosphere, and the group incorporates enough evocative turns of phrase to keep its music from turning into mere window dressing.
House With No Home opens with "Curs in the Weeds," the meaning of which often seems as elusive as its string parts are haunting. A closer listen — or, more to the point, a glance at the lyric sheet — reveals a grim cautionary tale about an overlooked middle child in a household "where the son is the darkest seed." As if the overarching sense of alienation weren't already looming in the minor-key arrangement, singer Justin Ringle notes, "It's like marrow without bone / to live in a house with no home." It's grim stuff, to be sure, but those strings are gorgeous enough to sweep the song's entire generation of tragedy under the rug.

Supporting Syrian refugees - Counseling Lebanese women
Since the beginning of the war, Syria's neighboring countries have provided shelter to millions of refugees. Relative to its population, Lebanon is currently hosting the largest number worldwide. Living conditions are disastrous. Refugees are not officially registered but rather tolerated as "guests". Many are traumatized, and support structures of any kind are lacking. Women in particular are at a high risk of experiencing violence.

Wow. Have I ever been slacking. It has been 68 days since I last wrote anything on this blog.
Sixty-eight days.
That dear friends is what I like to call pathetic.
Fortunately I've been keeping myself busy. According to some1 probably too busy. All I know is that I've been busy enough that writing here has fallen by the wayside. Whether that's too busy or not remains to be seen. What I do know is that I need to get back to writing for several reasons.
First, I forget everything. Writing it down here is my way of keeping track of all of the crazy-stupid things I do. And I do a lot of crazy-stupid things.
Second, writing keeps me focused on my goals; it keeps me in check and on track. While I'm always working on my Not-So-Bucket-List list, I've done a really poor job of actually checking in.
Third, did I mention I forget stuff?
Fourth, it helps keep me balanced. It forces me to take some time out of my otherwise busy day so that I can stop, reflect, unwind, and just breathe. Given how busy the last four to six months have been, I really should have been writing more.
As such I'm going to do my best to start writing on a regular basis again. The good thing is that I have a slew of things to write about – especially given all of the amazing things that have happened in the last 68 days. But I don't want to give away all of the secrets yet, so you'll just have to check in again to find out more.
1 Where some equals my mom, and several friends.

Newspaper reports suggest that Yes Bank's board is likely to suggest the name of one internal candidate, Executive Director Rajat Monga and Rajesh Sud (former Managing Director of Max Life Insurance), to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) as a replacement to MD Rana Kapoor who will step down on January 31. The board is likely to suggest at least three names, but the third name is not yet in the public domain.
Two internal candidates, Monga as well as Pralay Mondal (Senior Group President of Retail & Business Banking), were in the race for the top job. Recent reports also suggest that Mondal is joining Axis Bank, thereby paving the way for Monga as the preferred internal candidate.
In short, recent events may pave the way for Kapoor's trusted aide to claim the coveted role. Of course, a lot depends on RBI's stance and the much-anticipated audit report of RBI for FY18 that hasn't come out yet, contrary to its usual timeline. Should Kapoor's legacy continue, investors of the beaten down Yes Bank stock may have reasons to cheer.

Just a few things that I want to remember:
Sam asked me to draw a bunny for him so I quickly sketched out a shape. He looked at it and then asked with great sincerity, " mommy, do you know what a bunny looks like?"
He so obviously didn't mean it in any other way, just a genuine question. I laughed so hard, which confused him. I explained I did know what a bunny looks like, I'm just a really bad artist.
A couple weeks ago over spring break we were driving to Karate and Sam said he didn't want to grow up to be anything, not a fireman, or a worker or anything. I felt a little jolt of concern and gently asked why. He said, " cuz I'd just miss you too much being away from you all day."
Oh my heart! I told him he might not always feel that way but I was happy to hear him tell me that now.
Later after karate as we drove home the twins were saying that not every grown up has kids and Rachel said she was glad to come into my tummy so I didn't have to wait anymore. Sam said he was glad to come out of my tummy so I could be his Mommy and I didn't have to be sad anymore.
I was a little shocked. I don't recall ever saying that I was sad before when we were waiting for them. Although I have definitely said I Would have been sad if I didn't have them.
We all have so much to be grateful for.

I always tone my canvas with a burnt or raw sienna acrylic tone. I always squint a lot to see the overall shapes and values and do so even more when the image is more complicated.

C.I.B.P., C.I.B., CZ CH, CZ GR CH, ČMKU CH, KCHaPB CH, DE CH (VDH), SK CH Aprelka Lenel Slovakia
21. 11. 2013
Aprelka was born in kennel Lenel Slovakia belonging to Lenka Hůževková and she is daughter of very succesful parents, Brasletka Mraja andJeronimo Primus z Bilmy. She comes from litter of 5 very beautiful puppies. One sister lives in Italy, the second one in Czech republick and two sibling ale living in the kennel - both are very succesful on shows. Her brother Agent C. Lenel Slovakia - CH SK, BOB, CACIB, res.CACIB, 5xCAC, 2x res.CAC a Ava Alexeievna Lenel Slovakia - CH SK, 5xCAC, 3x res.CACIB, 3x res.CAC, BOS, Winner of Slovakia 2016
Borzoi generally usually have very nice character, they are calm, friendly and steady, devoted to their master and tolerant to children. Aprelka is merry and playful, but when she is not in the mood and she doesn´t want to be bothered, she just walks away to another room. In one word - aristocrat. She is very self-dependent, especially outdoors, because borzois were breeded to make their own decisions during the hunt. Aprelka sleeps a lot, and than she wants activity, but she does´nt need to walk for many kilometres like some other breeds do. Borzois are sprinters, not endurance runners. They are very inteligent and quick at learning. It is not a breed for anyone, who wants 100% obedience, it is not a german shepard. They cannot deny their hunters heart. Especially, when you have at home also irish seter, it is a recipe for "fun" outside.
She has coursing and racing licence.

This was originally written for Progressive-Economy.ie
The Government may be hiding up to €800 in austerity measures in their recent Medium-Term Fiscal Statement (MTFS). I use the term 'may' because documents prepared by the Department of Finance can sometimes be frustrating exercises in ambiguity. However, on any logical reading of the document, it appears there is under-the-counter austerity which the Government is not admitting to. Indeed, there may be €800 million more spending cuts than is necessary to achieve the Government's new €3.8 billion fiscal consolidation target.
The potential sleight-of-hand occurs in the category described variously as 'Carry Forward' or 'Carry Over' or 'Additional Impact'. This refers to the amount of money – from a tax measure or a spending cut - that only comes on stream in the following year. Two examples will help clarify this:
- Taxation: in Budget 2011, cutting personal tax credits was projected to raise €585 million. However, it will only raise €435 million in 2011; the remainder - €150 million – will not be realised until next year. This is because tax is collected in arrears. There's nothing under-hand about this, it is part of the budgetary process.
- Current Spending: similar to tax, there are some spending measures where the full 'savings' is not realised until the following year. For instance, in Budget 2011 the 4 percent cut in Student Support Scheme grant rates was projected to 'save' €51 million in a full year, but only €22 million in 2011; the remainder, €29 million, will be realised in 2012. Again, there is nothing unusual in this.
Accounting for this is pretty straight-forward and is done every year in the Summary of Budget measures. The Government simply states the amount of tax revenue or spending cut it will achieve in the year in question, and put the carry-forward amount into the following year. That gives us the total amount of 'consolidation' that takes place in any particular year.
This is where the Government may be hiding up to €1 billion in austerity measures. Let's first look at current spending, stepping carefully through this statistical forest. Fianna Fail's National Recovery Plan gives a fairly transparent accounting of the consolidation they planned.
In 2012, Fianna Fail planned to cut €1.3 billion. However, there is the 'Additional Impact', or carry forward from Budget 2011 amounting to €400 million. This gives a total of €1.7 billion in current spending cuts. This €400 million carry forward estimate is confirmed in Budget 2011, where the carry forward of all spending cut measures is more precisely projected at €457 million. But the point is that while the total current expenditure cuts come to €1.7 billion, only €1.3 billion is 'new' for 2012.
Now let's turn to the current Government's MTFS. Here the issue is not so straight-forward.
In the row entitled 'Current', the Government intends to cut €1.45 billion. That also seems straight-forward enough. However, there is no mention of a carry forward or 'additional impact' that was referred to in the National Recovery Plan and projected in Budget 2011.
So is the €1.45 billion in current spending cuts inclusive of the €400 million carry-forward from Budget 2011? If so, then the Government only intends to cut €1,045 million this year. However, if it does not include the carry forward, then the Government's total current spending consolidation is actually €1.85 billion.
I suspect it is the latter, for the Government has used the carry-forward category for Tax measures as the table indicates. That it doesn't use it for current spending suggests they will cut €1.45 this year and pocket the extra €400 million from last year, hoping that no one notices.
When we come to taxation, the sleight-of-hand becomes more obvious. As seen in the table above, the Government intends to raise €1 billion in 2012. There is a carry forward of €600 million from Budget 2011. This comes to a total of €1.6 billion tax consolidation for 2011. It seems straight-forward, right? Well, no. And the Government partially admits to the statistical trickery.
Footnote 5 in the final row beside the carry-forward of '0.6' in the 2012 column reads:
'The Universal Social Charge is also expected to deliver an additional €0.4 billion in revenues in 2012. While this is not part of the €3.8 billion consolidation package, it is captured in the budgetary projections.'
This is an incredible statement. Translated, it reads: 'the €400 million carry forward in the Universal Social Charge has been included in the budget for 2012. But we're not going to include it in this table.'
Why not? It is a carry-forward, the same as any other tax. You can see that in the Summary of 2011 Budget Measures where it was projected to be €435 million (Page B.6).
Even the EU Commission, in its 2nd quarterly review of the bail-out deal (Table on page 11 of the text), listed the total tax carry forward from 2011 at €1.1 billion. It saw fit to include the USC. But not the Government.
The reason why they did not include the USC in their table– and this is my speculation – is that it would raise the amount of total taxation consolidation to €2 billion, rather than €1.6 billion. And the optics of this would be bad. So to make the taxation measures look less than what they actually are, they just consigned part of the carry forward tax revenue to a footnote.
Here is my reconstruction of the Government's consolidation package inclusive of all carry forwards.
The austerity package for 2012 appears to be €800 million more than what the Government is admitting to. If so, there are €800 million more cuts in current and capital spending than are actually needed, even to reach the Government's new consolidation target of €3,800 million. €800 million less cuts is something to consider – more hospital services, more education services, and more capital investment (which means more jobs today and down the line). Is Labour aware that the Fine Gael Minister for Finance is trying to cut €800 million more than is necessary even by his own benchmark?
However, the Government may dispute all this. If so, then it should clarify the situation. They only have to answer two questions:
- Do the current spending cuts for 2012 include the spending cuts carry forward of €400 million from Budget 2011?
- How much is the total tax carry forward (including the USC) from 2011?
Answering these questions would settle the matter raised here. However, if they choose to obfuscate and ignore then it will be a sign that the Government is not committed to an open and transparent budgetary process.
And when people ask, why does it feel worse than what we were told, the answer will be simple: because they weren't told the whole truth of the matter.

The owner of a shared internet connection isn't obliged to ensure others aren't committing copyright infringement on it, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled Monday.
The court ruled that the owner of an adult foster home could not be held liable because someone downloaded pirated copies of the movie "The Cobbler" there.
Cobbler Nevada obtained the IP address of the infringing computer and traced it to Thomas Gonzales, the operator of the home. The company then charged Gonzales with infringement, either directly for downloading the copies personally or contributorily for failing to prevent either workers or residents from downloading, despite being sent more than 400 notices of infringing activity. Cobbler Nevada never determined who downloaded the movie.
"The registered subscriber of an infringing IP address, standing alone, does not create a reasonable inference that he is also the infringer," McKeown wrote in Cobbler Nevada v. Gonzales. As for contributory infringement, without allegations of intentional encouragement or inducement of infringement, "an individual's failure to take affirmative steps to police his internet connection is insufficient to state a claim."

I just realized I had never posted anything from my flatbook. Well here it is. I'll be graduating in 2 weeks! That also means I will be relentlessly creating new content, so before this version gets scraped I figured I'd share it. I'm pretty happy with the overall design, but crits and comments are always appreciated. Let me know what you like and don't like about it. I can take it. Really. I want then next one to be better so rip it apart!
Oh Yeah...the phone number on the bottom of the cover is not mine anymore, so I really don't care if you crank call it.

Please tell me you're going to have more than two pages. lol. I take it you'll be adding some of the content from further below?
Hmmm, well I like your designs and the new border on the pages are cool too. I'm not so thrilled about the last page though. Not that the design is bad, I think the layout is a little boring. The Toro's page is a bit confusing too. I know I said that I liked the border around the pages, but no one else is going to care. You may want to take it out, but that's completely up to you. Right now, I don't think it's hurting your work. I was told by people in the industry that they want to see your process. Not sure how you would do that in modeling, but there you go. Ok I'm going to stop now.

I didn't put it all in one post because Blogger wouldn't let me, but I think 2 pages is almost excessive. I mean it took, like, a half hour to make them both. It's just too hard to do more.
Thanks for the crit. I do plan on reworking most of this. I see what you mean about the Toros page. I guess I could add early versions of the models to show process. Blocking and mid res versions. I'll consider that for the next version. Thanks Emmett.

Trip recap, part I of many.
Tuesday, July 29, 2008
TTA (or "Triangle Transit Authority"). Bus 23 minutes late. Not unusual. Come on, guys. When you're that late, why bother having a schedule? Jesus Frickin' Christ. And nice of you to charge $2 for the pleasure of waiting in 95 degree weather for your chronically late buses. Nice job. Keep up the good work.
Bank of America. Big, honking megaloconglomorate of a bank can't even get its sh*t together to have a database big enough for all of its customers; apparently accounts opened in California are on a different database and thus said Bank tends to treat its CA-account-owning customers in a ridiculous fashion, as if both arms of the same bank can't communicate with one another. If you call yourself Bank of AMERICA, my guess is that you should configure yourselves to serve residents of the WHOLE ENTIRE COUNTRY in the same way, not to mention since people in AMERICA tend to move frequently and hence might have the need to easily and without 18 kinds of idiocy access their own accounts, which they opened in California, which last time I checked is still part of AMERICA.
Rant over. Good night.

Morning Routine re-defined
Drink warm lemon water first think when you wake up. Don't eat breakfast or wash your teeth for 15 to 30 minutes after this. Lemon water has anti-inflammatory effect and serves as a great liver and digestive system cleanser. Besides that, it refreshes the breath, provides antioxidants benefiting our skin and facilitates weight loss.
Stretch to help your body to wake up. Simple 10-minutes stretching improves blood circulation, oxygenates brain, and when performed regularly improves our physical condition. Yoga or stretching, often overlooked part of the morning routine, has a massive impact on our mental and physical condition.
Meditate for another 10 to 20 minutes to relax your brain and organize your thoughts. Meditation, often perceived by those not practicing as a purely religious ritual, can benefit anyone and should be viewed as a spiritual tool. It helps to achieve inner balance, focus, clarity of thoughts and aids stress management.
Get protein rich breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. High in protein and healthy fats will boost body metabolism. On the other hand, breakfast high in carbohydrates causes insulin levels rise and activates fat-storage mode in the body (therefore hinders efforts of those striving to reduce body fat level).
Read in the morning to stimulate your intellect. Be it your favourite book, a piece of news, or an article you've been putting off reading for a couple of weeks. Reading as long as 20 minutes every weekday morning gives you an extra 1 hour and 40 minutes a week spent on development.
Sport performed in the first half of the day boosts your metabolism even further and gets your body into state of burning calories throughout the day. Endorphins being released during exercise improve your concentration and mental condition, keep you energized throughout the day and regularly performed rewards you with a lean body.

James A. Lake
James A. Lake (born August 10, 1941, Kearney, Nebraska) is an American evolutionary biologist and a Distinguished Professor of Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology and of Human Genetics at UCLA. Lake is best known for the New Animal Phylogeny and for the first three-dimensional structure of the ribosome. He has also made significant contributions to understanding genome evolution across all kingdoms of life, including discovering informational and operational genes, elucidating the complexity hypothesis for gene transfer, rooting the tree of life, and understanding the early transition from prokaryotic to eukaryotic life.

|University of California, Los Angeles
Jim Lake graduated from the University of Colorado, Boulder with a BA in physics in 1963. In 1967 he was awarded a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Wisconsin, Madison on the structure of tRNA. Following postdocs in Molecular Biology at MIT and Harvard Medical School, an Assistant Professorship of Cell Biology in George Palade's Department at Rockefeller University (1970–73) and an Associate Professorship of Cell Biology at NYU Medical School (1973–76), he became a Professor of Molecular Biology in Biology at UCLA in 1976 and is currently a Distinguished Professor of Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology and of Human Genetics.[1]
Lake's research focuses in four areas: prokaryotic ancestors of eukaryotes,[2] evidence for early prokaryotic endosymbioses,[3] genomic analyses, and rooting of the biological tree of life.[4]
Darwin-Wallace MedalEdit
In 2011, Lake was presented the Darwin-Wallace Medal by the Linnean Society of London for elucidating the new animal phylogeny.[5] The Medal is awarded to individuals who have made major advances in evolutionary biology. Lake has made a number of highly significant contributions toward understanding diverse aspects of genome evolution across all kingdoms of life. These include discovering informational and operational genes,[6] developing the complexity hypothesis for horizontal/lateral gene transfer,[7] and rooting the tree of life,[8] topics on which he has published over 160 papers.
In the mid-1980s it was becoming clear that ribosomal RNA sequences could be used to determine metazoan relationships. Interpretation of the trees was complicated by the problem of Long branch attraction (LBA). By developing new algorithms that were less sensitive to these LBA artefacts, Lake was able to show that the Annelida-Mollusca lineage is the sister group of an arthropod subgroup.[9] This finding was contrary to the Articulata hypothesis that grouped arthropods with annelids, and was nearly universally endorsed at that time.[10]
With the advent of PCR and increased ease of sequencing rDNA in the 1990s, Lake focused on the bilateral animals, and recognised that there were questions over the placement of the lophophorate animals, such as bryozoans, phoronids, and brachiopods. Lake provided clear DNA-based evidence indicating that the lophophorates were not deuterostomes as had been widely believed. In fact, they were most closely related to the mollusc – annelid clade. The result of this research was the creation of a new super-phylum, the Lophotrochozoa containing molluscs, annelids, lophophorates, and other animals.[11] Lake recognised that long branch attraction was a severe problem for the mostly rapidly evolving nematodes and was able to provide rDNA sequences from a number of slowly evolving nematodes in order to bypass this difficulty. This sampling showed that the moulting animals form a clade, called the Ecdysozoa, a second protostomian superphylum sister to the Lophotrochozoa.[12]
Endosymbiosis researchEdit
Lake also explored concepts concerning the deep phylogenetic origins of the eukaryotic cell.[13] In the eocyte hypothesis, Lake and colleagues proposed that eukaryotes (animals, fungi, plants, and protists) evolved from a specific group of thermophilic prokaryotes, the "eocyte" archaebacteria.[14][15][16][17]

I've been wanting a digital version of my much-loved film 3D camera for ages.
For those who don't know, I'm not new to 3D. I've used an old, and rather weighty, 3D camera, which used 35mm slide film.
The Camera was a reconditioned Realist, from the 50's, which I bought from a bloke whose hobby and business was to find old 3D cameras, repair and sell them to enthusiasts… The camera cost a little over $200, but was a great investment.
With that, I soon learnt that 3D was much more than a mere gimmick, I soon had absolutely beautiful photos of my family.
Yet, it was a bit of a pain, because I had to have film developed, and then cut it myself to add into special 3D slide mounts, two slides side by side, one for each eye.
This was tricky and took a while to do, it was also easy to ruin a particularly good photo while cutting up the slide reel.
Fuji offers this tantalising little camera, which I've been sorely tempted to run out and buy… but I have just read a review which mentioned that although the 3D is fairly good, the image quality of it's photos is less than impressive… if I'm going to spend a lot of money on a new camera, then picture quality is a big concern.
There's a bit of "I really really want this" mixed in with "but but but" which is rather depressing.
Now why I'm writing, I would like to dream a bit, and tell you what I think a perfect pocket camera should have.
Firstly, if you have a big screen on the back, why not have a camera which is both camera and PDA?
Because I think the time of having fixed, and limiting, built-in programs is over.
If the camera had wi-fi, and we could download new apps similar to Pano, Autostitch or the very popular Histamatic, well, wouldn't that be cool?
The option of downloading camera apps would be very appealing to the buyer, many who are already used to downloading new apps to their phones.
I think all cameras should have wi-fi capability as standard, the ability to send your photos directly to anyone in the world, or upload them to Flickr or Facebook would be great.
What about a 3D photo site similar to Flickr, where photos can be browsed and enjoyed by everyone, directly on the back of the camera.
As soon as a proper 3D pocket camera comes out which presses all my buttons, trust me, I'll be shelling out for it… and I hope it's soon.

How majestic is God?
"When I observe your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you set in place…" ∼ Psalm 8:3
- When we look at the stars at night, we are reminded of how majestic God is.
- As we look to the heavens we see how BIG God really is. Notice in verse 3, it's the work of His "fingers."
- We also see how small we really are.
God's word helps us see God clearer, and ourselves clearer too.
Pray and thank God for all of His creation and how, even though He created the heavens, He also created us to know Him.

According to Cynthia Winston, assistant professor of psychology at Howard University in Washington, D.C., We really don't know much about how blacks are influenced. Most of the research focuses on perceptions related to skin color. Foe most African-Americans, perception can be shaped by their environment. For example, an African-American woman growing up in an all-white neighborhood in Nebraska may be more likely than an African-American woman raised in inner-city Detroit to compare herself with white images of beauty.

Vets were required to perform the world's smallest ever amputation when a mouse was run over by a wheelie bin.
Mickey the mouse was rushed to Westway Veterinary Group surgery in Houghton-le-Spring, County Durham, after Debra Tuck accidentally ran him over while putting her rubbish out.
And despite initial misgivings that he might not survive such a procedure, Westway Director and senior vet Jason Atherton authorised the amputation of Mickey's front leg – and the tiny rodent made a full recovery.

'My husband and I love wildlife and we wouldn't hurt a fly so we couldn't have left a tiny injured mouse to die outside in the freezing cold,' Mrs Tuck, an admin worker, said.
'Even though I'm petrified of mice, I was mortified when I saw that I'd hurt him and there was blood coming from his leg.
'Jason thought he might not come through the operation, but then I got a call saying he had pulled through and I was so relieved.

'He has thrived ever since and is so full of character, with the brightest eyes and the loveliest coat.'
Dr Atherton explained that major surgery on a small animal was a big decision as his changes of survival were already slim.
And he said he would only operate if Mrs Tuck agreed to keep him as a pet – which she gladly did.

President Barack Obama responded to a petition demanding that the White House officially designate "Black Lives Matter" as a terrorist organisation.
"[T]errorism is defined as 'the use of violence and intimidation in pursuit of political aims'," the 6 July "We the People" petitionreads. "This definition is the same definition used to declare Isis and other groups, as terrorist organisations."
The petition cited demonstrations in Ferguson, Baltimore, and "even at a Bernie Sanders rally" as reasons for the designation.
"It is time for the pentagon (sic) to be consistent in its actions," the petition continued, "and just as they rightfully declared Isis a terror group, they must declare Black Lives Matter a terror group on the grounds of principle, integrity, morality, and safety."

|Me yesterday on our back deck with my planters of color - my arrangement folks!
"Your plants are lovely." That was the comment one of my Facebook friends made when I posted this picture that Bill took of me yesterday on our back deck.
Both Bill and I love flowers. We love the color.
My last blog post I ranted about Bill turning off our irrigation system thus depriving my plants of much needed water during our current hot spell. Bill didn't realize that he was drying out our flowers, he was concerned about overwatering our lawn. I am not. I said "Let the mushrooms grow!"
Bill has since turned on the irrigation system and will let it run three times a week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) as it is currently programmed. We do have a rain meter which disables the irrigation system if the skies open and our lawn receives rain from Heaven. No worries there.
After a wet spring, we have been enjoying some really spectacular summer weather here where we live in southern coastal Delaware. In my previous life when I lived in Philadelphia, PA I would wish I lived "at the beach" so I could enjoy those ultra violet cancer causing sun rays on the beach. How ironic that now I live near the beach, I never go there in the summer. The main reason is that Rehoboth Beach (and Lewes Beach) is just way too congested. And besides, my laying in the sand days are over, since I contracted with my dermatologists over thirty years to ago to visit semi-annual to check for pre cancerous skin lesions (actinic keratosis).
|Me at Herring Cove, Provincetown, Mass circa 1976 - in my pre visit the dermatologist for skin cancer days
Flowers are my passion. All my life I wanted a home where I could grow all manner of plants, almost all flowers and herbs. I rarely grow vegetables, there are too many local options for buying fresh vegetables. I do have a few cherry tomato plants but that's about it. I lost my taste for growing vegetables the year I grew broccoli. I steamed my freshly picked broccoli al dente, just the way I like it. Prepared to savor the taste of my own freshly grown broccoli I ate my first bunch. Bitter! What was that taste? I looked and lo and behold I discovered that I had eaten "broccoli caterpillars" that were the same color as the broccoli. That was my last time growing my home grown veggies (with the aforementioned exception for cherry tomatoes).
Tomorrow is the first day of summer. I am prepared folks!
The only thing on my agenda this summer is a colonoscopy (always a "fun" time) coming up at the beginning of July. Do I know how to celebrate the Fourth or what?
I made my call for jury duty Saturday not and the good news is that I didn't have to report. One more call next Saturday then I'm home free. In a way I would like to do jury duty (never have) but at my age and my Morning Bathroom Issues, I don't know if I would be the ideal candidate to sit in the jury box. Especially since I couldn't have my iPhone with me.
|I didn't know Bill took this picture but here it is anyway. A good way to end this blog post (I guess)

Is spending more hours in class better for learning?
OECD. Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development

Regardless of the type of school attended (public or private, advantaged or disadvantaged), 15-year-old students spent more time in mathematics lessons in 2012 than in 2003. The average amount of time spent in mathematics classes varies by more than a factor of two across countries and economies. The more time spent in mathematics classes, the better students perform, on average; but giving students more work in class is often not enough to improve learning outcomes.

Central Park surrounded
Shortly after arriving in New York, Set is brought for a walk around Central Park by Vincent Finnegan and John Haltigan.
The route is the same one followed years earlier by the publishers of Ulysses, Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. Cerf described how their partnership in business was sealed:
"Donald and I went around Central Park, over Fifth Avenue up to 110th Street, over to Central Park West and down 59th Street just talking. And when we finished that walk, we were friends for life, even though I was four years older than Donald, out of college and down in Wall Street."
