I love your forms! My client is concerned about glitches popping up if many separate users try to submit a form via our website at the same time (i.e., they'd be using same form link). I don't think this would be an issue, would it? The form will allow users to upload up to 8 meg pdfs to a DropBox folder.
- BenAnswered on October 06, 2014 at 02:54 PM
First, that is a good question.
Now for the answer :)
A great thing about each jotform that you create using JotForm builder is that every time you do so you will be creating jotforms backed up by powerful servers all around the world.
What this means for you is that it does not matter how many users try submitting the jotform in the same time our servers are ready for it. In reality there are thousands of people submitting jotforms on the same server in the same time and no one sees any difference or experiences any issues because of that.
Our technicians are there to take care of that so that you do not have to. :)
The only thing that you should keep in mind is the space limit offered by the Free package. Please note that even if you connect DropBox, you will still have the same file on our servers that you will need to remove in order to not go over 100MB - I am only mentioning this because you say 8MB pdf files, which means that about after 13th file you will be at your limit.
If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us and we will be happy to reply.
Best Regards,

You are welcome.
Do let us know if there are any further questions that you might have and we will be glad to respond to them.

My first book, UnBlessed, now has thirty reviews on Amazon!!!! Whoohoo!
As if that wasn't awesome enough, Fire Blessed and Ice Blessed both broke the ten review mark!
I'd like to send a huge 'THANK YOU!' to everyone who helped me reach this incredible milestone. Here's to many more reviews (and books!) to come.

Many Indians wear copper bracelets. Both men and women wear them. Wearing copper seems to have a therapeutic effect on the body and that is why since centuries people wore copper ornaments.
If you are allergic to copper, you can skip using it but otherwise, copper seems to boost immunity and offer several other health benefits too.
Very less scientific evidence is available explaining the benefits. But still, there are no side effects of wearing a copper bracelet unless your skin is allergic or sensitive to copper. Here are some more facts.
Relieves Stiffness
The use of copper bracelets centers on reducing the joint pain and stiffness associated with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. For believers, this translates into more freedom of movement and joint flexibility. Although worn on the wrist, manufacturers report the bracelets are beneficial to stiff joints throughout the entire body.
Reduces Pain
In addition to easing joint stiffness, adherents wear copper bracelets to reduce the pain associated with arthritis. While theories as to why copper bracelets are beneficial vary, the "Gale Encyclopedia of Alternative Medicine" mentions that some advocates claim the copper emits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Although no scientific evidence backs this up, some bracelet wearers report feeling better after using the copper bracelets.
Helps In Mineral Absorption
A pure copper bracelet has micro minerals such as iron and zinc. When they combine with sweat on the skin, they are absorbed into the blood stream in appropriate quantities. This gives rise to mineral supplementation, a fact confirmed by Scientia Press researchers. Those who are anemic or have problems of iron and zinc deficiency can consider this simple and effective alternative treatment methodology. Theoretically, minerals absorbed through the body's sweat are absorbed better than minerals taken through supplements. When minerals are absorbed through sweat, they enter the bloodstream directly, without going to the liver. Copper ring benefits astrology advocates the same – wear copper and let the body absorb it rather than forcing the body to absorb it.
Cures Deficiency
Deficiency of copper and its properties may cause aortic aneurysms. Studies show that lack of copper can cause an imbalance in the body which leads to increased blood cholesterol levels. The cumulative effects of this are damage to the heart and arteries. Copper is known to cross-link fibers, collagen, and elastin to be specific, and without this cross-linking, the onset of aortic aneurysms is rapid. Considering that elastin fibers encapsulate major portions of the aorta and surrounding regions, copper is a bare necessity to ensure that these fibers remain intact. So shopping for a copper bracelet online and wearing it is a simple and long-term, slow but sure process to ensure long-term cardiovascular health.
Other Benefits
Copper has some other benefits too. It can reduce the toxic effects of other metals, it can trigger certain enzymes in the body to produce hemoglobin.
Copper bracelets also seem to make the person wearing them feel better. Copper can also slow down the aging process as it is high in antioxidants.

184.108.40.206 Frequently asked questions about study funded through DVA
What type of education and training is considered by DVA to be 'study'?
For the purposes of rehabilitation policy, the following education and training options are considered to be 'study':
- secondary education, where the course of study is either an accredited senior secondary certificate of education (or equivalent) or a preparatory course for the purpose of enrolling in a related award course; and
- tertiary education courses within the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF);
- Training within the AQF includes Certificate level (Certificate I-IV), Diplomas, Advanced Diplomas/Associate Degrees, Bachelor-level degrees, Graduate Certificates/ Diplomas, and other post graduate qualifications.
- Institutions offering these courses include:
- Technical and Further Education (TAFE) colleges;
- Higher education institutions (eg, university); and
- Accredited Registered Training Organisation (RTO).
What types of study can be considered for funding by DVA as part of vocational rehabilitation?
All decisions about study funded through a rehabilitation program will be based on the outcomes of a comprehensive vocational assessment (see section 9.5 of this library for more information). This assessment is critical as it includes a breadth of information which will inform consideration of study being approved.
It is preferred that tertiary education courses of study approved as part of a DVA rehabilitation program are undertaken through an institution which enables access to Commonwealth assistance for the course of study. Commonwealth assistance is provided through the Higher Education Loan Program (HELP). More information about funding study through rehabilitation can be found in section 9.8.4 of this library.
What is the Higher Education Loan Program (HELP)?
This is an Australian Government loan program to help eligible students pay their student contributions (HECS-HELP); tuition fees (FEE-HELP or VET Student Loans); and/or student services and amenities fees (SA-HELP). These loans are repaid through the Australian tax system. For further information, the following table may assist:
|Type of tertiary study
|Institutions which provide Commonwealth assistance
|Vocational education and training
For further information visit:
University / Higher education
Why do DVA generally only fund further education up to the Bachelor Degree or Graduate Certificate level?
As a general rule, DVA will only fund up to an undergraduate Bachelor or Graduate Certificate level degree. These degrees can provide individuals not only with a formal qualification, but also a number of transferable skills and experiences relevant to the workforce. In most cases, Bachelor level degrees are sufficient to enable individuals to attain suitable and sustainable employment, however for a small number of employment roles a graduate certificate is a minimum requirement. For this reason DVA will generally not fund tertiary education for clients who already have an existing tertiary-level qualification at the Bachelor degree level or higher.
Requests must be considered on a case-by-case basis, and Rehabilitation Coordinators are encouraged to contact firstname.lastname@example.com for policy advice if they receive a request which they believe warrants further consideration due to the client's individual circumstances.
Can DVA fund study that a person is already undertaking?
If a client has commenced a course prior to approval being sought or given as part of a rehabilitation program, retrospective payment of the course fees cannot be considered.
If seeking funding support for the remaining elements of their study of the client is required to undertake an application for support of their study, as per other DVA rehabilitation clients. Steps outlined in section 9.8.3 of this library must be considered as part of the process of ensuring this study is an appropriate option for the client. Course fees can only be considered for funding once this process has taken place.
Can a client fund study themselves?
Where an objective and comprehensive vocational assessment does not recommend a specific further education course as an appropriate option to attain suitable and sustainable employment, clients may choose to pursue study at their own expense. This may occur for instance where:
- A client already has substantial experience, skills and qualifications which is adequate to secure suitable and sustainable employment in the civilian workforce; or
- A client can secure suitable and sustainable employment in the civilian workforce with more cost effective education and/or training options, but chooses to pursue their preferred course of study; or
- A client has already completed a Bachelor degree or higher, and can obtain suitable and sustainable employment in the civilian workforce without the need for further study, or with more cost effective education and/or training options.
Where a client chooses to pursue study at their own expense, and has capacity to participate in a DVA rehabilitation program, particularly when in receipt of incapacity payments, they are required to fully participate in their rehabilitation plan unhindered as part of the eligibility to receive this compensation payment.
Where a comprehensive vocational assessment indicates that further education and training is not required to attain suitable employment, and medical evidence indicates the client has capacity to work, they will be expected to undertake vocational activities as part of their rehabilitation program, and accept any suitable employment that is offered to them.
Where a client chooses to prioritise their self-funded study, and is not fully participating in their agreed vocational rehabilitation activities or does not accept suitable employment when it is offered to them as a result of their self-funded study, they risk being found to be non-compliant as a result of not meeting their rehabilitation obligations. This may result in suspension of the client's compensation payments.
Note: Clients can still access treatment for their accepted conditions, even if they are non-compliant in their rehabilitation program.
Similarly, where a client leaves suitable employment for the sole purpose of pursuing self-funded study, their circumstances would require review to consider if they have a deemed ability to earn. Further information about deeming a client able to earn, can be found in section 2.7 of this Library. Rehabilitation Coordinators are encouraged to discuss cases with their team leader and contact firstname.lastname@example.com for advice, noting that any policy advice received must be uploaded as an attachment to the client's R&C ISH case.
Can a client appeal study related decisions made by DVA?
If a client identifies study as a potential rehabilitation activity, but based on evidence available to the rehabilitation provider or coordinator, this is not considered appropriate for funding through a rehabilitation program, the reasons why study was not considered appropriate must be discussed with the client. As with all rehabilitation plans, discussions about rehabilitation activities should be a collaborative process between the client and the Rehabilitation Provider, with further advice sought from the DVA rehabilitation coordinator where required.
When a rehabilitation coordinator has considered all relevant evidence and has made a decision that study is not an appropriate activity to fund through a rehabilitation program, there are no avenues of appeal for the client. This is because a formal determination has not been made, and is not made as part of the process. Rather, the rehabilitation coordinator has considered all available evidence, and has made a decision that study is not an appropriate activity to be included on a client's rehabilitation program. Where a rehabilitation coordinator requires advice about the appropriateness of a request, they should discuss this with their team leader, who can contact email@example.com where further guidance is required.

Have Yourself a Handmade Holiday!
The lovely and talented artisans from The Handmade Forum are having a little virtual holiday bash in the form of a blog hop. The theme is "Have Yourself a Handmade Holiday!" and is hosted by Tammy of Paisley Lizard Designs. Today we are highlighting handmade goods ranging from lotion all the way to organic tea. You should definitely stop in and check out the participating shops when looking for that perfect handmade gift. You can also follow The Handmade Forum and discover a great many more handmade shops on The Handmade Forum Etsy Pages, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Tumblr!
Without further ado, let's get this party started! See the first link in the beginning of each paragraph to visit that person's blog and participate in the blog hop. All photos have a link back to the individual artist's Etsy shop so you are a click away from being able to buy any of these lovely handmade treasures! I'll get started with a few of my favorite items from each participating artist... I hope you have a wonderful time checking out the blogs and amazing shops, and maybe find that perfect handmade gift.
First up is our hostess, Tammy Adams, of Paisley Lizard Designs. Tammy mainly creates original jewelry, but also has polymer buttons and gift tags. Tammy designs a lot of rustic, nature inspired jewelry and I absolutely love it. A few of my favorite Paisley Lizard Designs pieces are pictured below. You really must see her Etsy shop as this is barely a hint of what she has available!
Second is the lovely Dixie Cutler of Dix Sterling, the maker of, as you might have guessed, primarily sterling silver jewelry. This isn't just any jewelry, but beautiful hand forged metal work with lovely stones and always original designs. I am currently wearing a pendant made by Ms Dixie, so I can definitely speak to the quality and allure of her creations. A few of my favorite listings are this silver and jasper cocktail ring, the flint and quartz pendant and the tourmalinated quartz (tourmaline needles in the quartz) brooch. Be sure to stop by Dix Sterling on Etsy for so much more!
Next up is Kei-Hawk Rose of Desert Sage Natural, and I believe she is truly the mistress of teas. I have sampled a few of the delicious blends from Desert Sage Natural on Etsy, and I couldn't be more impressed. The short of it is this, if you even "kinda" like any type of tea, try Desert Sage Natural tea in whatever blend you prefer, and you will be hooked. They are well blended, perfectly balanced, and of extremely high quality. The spectrum of teas available in this shop is impressive, and they range from simply delicious to medicinal. Pictured here is Organic Chai, Organic Lavender Earl Grey, and the Whovian Sampler (green). Yum, yum, and yum... I'll take one of each please.
This brings us to Deb Flaherty of Flaherty Naturals, who happens to make natural skincare products that are absolutely worth trying. I've been using her Delicate Orange Organic Body Lotion for the last few weeks and I'm hooked! It's moisturizing without being greasy, and it smells lovely without being overpowering. As far as I'm concerned that's about as good as it gets with lotion. Oh, and it's organic! A few items on my current wish list are the Vanilla Brown Sugar Scrub, Lavender, Calendula, Comfrey Salve, and Lavender Lip Balm. Hint, hint, Santa!
And on to the lovely Jenn of Bracelets by Jen, the maker of handmade embroidery friendship bracelets that are so much cooler than you remember. Her Etsy shop has a dizzying array of bracelets ranging from downright pretty to festive, as well as awareness bracelets to support a cause that is near and dear to you. The awareness bracelets not only help show your support, but a portion of each sale is donated to the specified charity. I love the purple gradient bracelet on the left, but the Santa hats are pretty stinking' cute, too.
Last, but definitely not least is Kathryn of Lorraine Inspired! Ms Kathryn makes the most amazing pushpins, amongst other things! Her Etsy shop is filled with goodies, but I'm particularly obsessed with the pushpins as I use tacks all the time. To be honest, these would make me smile every time I touched one. My favorites are the ladybugs, acorns and flowers... perfect stocking stuffers!
Thank you for joining us for out Handmade Holiday blog hop! Stop by these blogs and/or shops if you have the time, you won't be disappointed!

This was neat, both content and the aesthetic. I keep thinking I should ask you for advice on 'Presentation of Blog.'
Awww! *blushes* I'm afraid there's no rhyme or reason to my blog...I just have an unnatural desire to balance and polish anything I do, so I move things around until they "fit".

I'm back. After 13 weeks of non stop, traveling, tailgating, shooting, editing and writing I had to take a week off. The Tailgate Tour is now complete and I want to thank all of you who followed it and left comments. I am working on the book proposal now, so I will keep you updated on the progress of turning this project into a book.
I have done a lot of traveling this year, and with the year almost over ( I can't believe it but it's almost 2011) I am finally getting to posts that I have been meaning to write for the last several months. Today's post is from a July (yes I realize that was a long time ago) trip I made up to Raleigh. This was at the same time that I visited Chapel Hill, but I am now getting to what I discovered in Raleigh.
Raleigh is the capital of my home state (North Carolina) as well as the home to North Carolina State University. I have several friends from high school that went to school there and they all advised I check out Sadlack's Heros. Sadlack's is located on Hillsborough St (the main drag of NC State's campus) across from the Memorial Bell Tower. Think of Sadlacks as sandwich shop by day and music venue/bar by night. Although the music line ups looked intriguing, I was there for lunch and their sandwiches. I was particularly fascinated by the Shut Up and Eat It. Yes thats right, the sandwich's name is "Shut Up and Eat It" In this hoagie creation the tables are turned. Instead of the diner telling the sandwich artist what they want, the sandwich artist gives the diner what ever they feel like making. Interesting concept. I was slightly skeptical until I saw it on the menu.
There it was at the bottom of the menu. Being told what to eat at a restaurant and paying for it? I had to give this a try. I ordered a foot long Shut Up and Eat It. Here is what was presented to me.
Looked interesting. Today, the sandwich artist decided to make me a Ranch Chicken Philly.
Ranch dressing, chicken, cheese, onions, and bell peppers. I did as I was instructed. I shut up and ate it. I can't say you will get this every time you order a Shut Up and Eat It, but I was definitely happy I decided to give this concept a try. The concept of being told what to eat and what I was presented with was definitely worth the trip, but it was what accompanied the sandwich that will definitely bring me back again one day. SWEET POTATO TATER TOTS! These were a first for me. I love sweet potatoes and love sweet potato french fries. I also love tater tots, but sweet potato tater tots? Well it should come as no surprise, I loved them as well. In fact, I would say I enjoy them more than plain old regular potato tater tots. The sweet potato ones were dusted with sugar and could have easily functioned as a dessert. Needless to say, they were quickly devoured.
Being told what to eat and eating sweet potato tater tots are two things that will definitely bring me back to Sadlack's Heroes. Next time I will have to catch a show and a beer.

With the four-set victory over Principia on Tuesday night, the Greenville women's volleyball team collected its sixth straight regular season conference championship and third consecutive outright league title.
They have become the first volleyball program in SLIAC history to win six straight league titles, bettering the previous record of Fontbonne who won five straight from 2000-04.
The unprecedented run began in 2010 and included co-championships from 2010-12 before titles alone from 2013-15.
Over the last six seasons, Greenville has compiled a record of 139-47, a winning percentage of .747, and a 94-8 record in league competition for a winning percentage of .922
Greenville has hosted the conference tournament five times over that six year span, and this will be the fourth consecutive year of playing the tournament in Greenville.
The Lady Panther program qualified for the NCAA tournament as conference tournament champions in 2010, reached the SLIAC tournament finals in 2011 and 2012, and were SLIAC tournament semifinalists in 2013 and 2014. The 2010 team was the only women's team in school history to qualify as a team for the NCAA tournament.
Led by four-time SLIAC coach of the year Tom Ackerman, this year's squad has put together a record of 10-1 at home, only losing to Washington University who has spent time at No. 1 in the AVCA national poll. This was their sixth straight season of 20 or more wins.
"The shift in our culture started with our 2007 freshman class," said Ackerman, who is second among Greenville women's volleyball coaches in all time wins with a record of 255-148. "They were a special group of kids who were very driven to succeed from day one. They improved every year in their time here and they were able to get other players and coaches on board."
After a third place regular season finish in 2009, the team reached the championship match of the SLIAC tournament and lost by two points to Webster in the fifth set.
"That loss sparked even more determination and drive, and that is when the culture shift happened," said Ackerman. "Winning became the expectation, and the coaches and players have passed that tradition on over the years, leading us to where we are now."
The last six seasons of Lady Panther volleyball have seen numerous women gain all-conference honors. Ten women earned first team all-conference honors, seven were on the second team, and five were honorable mention/third team selections.
Of these 22 all-conference recipients, two women earned the SLIAC player of the year awards – Jessica Dothager (2010) and Corinne Coon (2011) – and two were newcomer of the year – Coon (2010) and current student-athlete Allyson Mitchell (2014). Senior libero Jamie Schollenbruch was defensive player of the year in 2014.
The volleyball program has become the third program in school history that can boast of six or more straight conference titles. The men's cross country program picked up 11 from 1995-2007, and the women's cross country program won eight from 1995-2002.
With this accomplishment in their back pocket, Greenville prepares to host the conference tournament on Saturday, Nov. 7. They face Fontbonne at 2 p.m. in a semifinal, and a win places them in the championship match at 7 p.m. against the winner of Westminster and Webster.

Houston • Dennis Lindsey and his sister sold the old house when his father died four years ago. He happened to be in the neighborhood Monday.
Dennis and his wife, Becky Lindsey, took the drive south down Route 288, 30 minutes to where Dennis' grandmother lives in a nursing home in South Houston, and they drove by the house in Clute, Texas, where he was born and raised.
The outside of the place has a new coat of paint, and the trees have been trimmed — by his admission, it looks nicer than when he lived there. But something of the Lindseys remains, affixed by the two-car garage: a basketball hoop.
His father wanted to make sure Dennis and his sister never could rip it down. It's been bolted in place going on four decades.
"Armageddon will come, and this basketball goal will still be standing," Lindsey said. "I still have neighbors that I kept up late at night by dribbling the ball."
Dennis Lindsey, who is wrapping up his sixth season as the general manager of the Utah Jazz, is well-settled into Salt Lake City. But there's a piece of him planted in Houston — as firmly as that hoop.
He was born in Freeport, a small town flung 60 miles south of Houston on the Gulf of Mexico coast. He floated closer to Houston through incremental moves inland as time went on. He got his first NBA job there with the Rockets, where he worked for 11 years.
Houston is where he made his name as a young, ambitious front-office man, and it's where Becky Lindsey had all four of their children, at Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital. The greater metropolitan area is flocked with family members — too many for Dennis to count.
He ate a pastrami sandwich on Monday afternoon at a Lake Jackson restaurant called The Local. Aside from his visor bearing the Jazz note, Lindsey easily could be mistaken as the namesake.
Somewhere in a box in his basement is evidence of his high school playing career at Brazoswood High School, where Lindsey earned a scholarship to play at Baylor, where his son Jake now plays. He thinks he last watched the video five years ago, in part to prove a point to his sons that their dad had game back when he was their age. It was true: Dennis Lindsey was a good player. But he came to regret digging up the footage.
"It was such an ugly era of hair and short-shorts," he said. "It's kind of hard to watch. The shorts may be coming back, but I don't think the mullet is."
Utah Jazz GM Dennis Lindsey has strong Texas roots that have greatly shaped his career in basketball:
• Born in Freeport, Texas, and attended Brazoswood High in Clute, Texas.
• Attended Baylor University in Waco, Texas, where he was a guard on the basketball team and graduated in 1992.
• Hired by the Houston Rockets in 1996, where he rose to vice president of basketball operations and player personnel.
• Served as vice president and assistant general manager for the San Antonio Spurs from 2007 to 2012 before being hired by the Jazz.
Something that won't be as obvious on the tape: At each of his home games up until he graduated in 1987, Lindsey had a cheering section that included 10 to 12 kids of different ages, races and backgrounds whom his parents were watching. They had no obvious connection, except that they were cheering for him.
Besides raising him and his sister, Dennis' parents fostered children and served three stints in Brazoria County Youth Home in nearby Oyster Creek. At the Youth Home, the Lindseys were the designated "parents" of up to a dozen children at a time, and Dennis lived with them, opening his eyes to what it meant to serve kids in need.
Many of the children found it difficult to shake themselves free of desperation in the youth home. Dennis saw some of them grab food off the table at family dinners and hoard it away, driven by instincts they had formed when they were rooting through dumpsters to eat.
"You realize that the kids aren't being rude — they're trying to survive," he said. "It's been ingrained into their nervous systems."
Since he also lived in the youth home, Lindsey was labeled as a "youth home" kid by other students in his school. That led to schoolyard scuffles, and Lindsey said he and the youth home kids became fiercely protective of one another. He still keeps in touch with several to this day.
The home had many happy memories, too. United Way was a sponsor, so the kids had access to a gym, a baseball field and other outdoor activities on campus. Each child had a personal counselor. Lindsey loved to see the piles of presents around the holidays waiting in a back room, destined to go to a child who may not have gotten a Christmas gift before.
"It was a true haven," Lindsey said. "The house parents tried to make it a home."
He credits the experience for helping him break barriers with people of different racial and cultural backgrounds. Not many white boys growing up in small Texas towns had the opportunity to negotiate relationships with as many kinds of people as he did, and he believes it gave him a clear-eyed ability to see past stereotypes and quickly earn good faith when he meets new people, which are tools he's used as an evaluator in the NBA.
It also taught him that he has a responsibility to help others. When Lindsey was in high school, he would feel embarrassed when his parents showed up with a huge crowd of children. He asked himself: Why can't we just be a normal family?
But even then he understood how much good his parents were doing and recognized it was the right thing to do. And while his parents since have died, he and his family have tried to keep the values that were threaded into his upbringing.
The Lindseys support a number of causes. They give back to homeless and women's shelters in Salt Lake City. They've made sandwiches for underprivileged children during the summer when they don't receive school lunch. Becky Lindsey has spearheaded a program that offers tickets to Jazz games for teachers, which has brought an estimated 6,000 fans through Vivint Smart Home Arena.
But while the Lindseys have settled into the Salt Lake City community, they've also dealt with heartbreak back in Houston in the wake of Hurricane Harvey.
Dealing with storms has been branded in Lindsey's blood as well. Warm air streams in the Gulf of Mexico flow directly through Houston, and storms have a tendency to linger over the city. The Lindseys always were quick to leave town if a hurricane was coming and drive upstate until it passed.
When he was an executive for the Rockets, he and then-GM Carroll Dawson once were trapped in a Houston airport, surrounded by flooding. Lindsey witnessed firsthand people ransacking the airport's businesses for food and water — much like the kids he had seen at the youth home.
Those memories leapt to mind when he saw Harvey sweep through in August last year.
Lindsey described feeling "helpless" as he called relatives and family, checking to see who was safe and who still had homes. His old neighborhood in West Houston, where he lived when he worked for the Rockets, had been flooded when the city released overstressed dams. Chuck Hayes, who played for the Rockets when Lindsey worked there, had his house hit by tornadoes, which were common in Harvey's wake.
Even this week, during Utah's series with the Rockets, a bus driver pointed out areas to Lindsey where homes still are flooded nine months later.
"People forget: There's this mad rush of love and concern right away," he said. "A few weeks after, things dissipate."
Lindsey has not forgotten. The family donated to "a few crucial organizations" to help relief efforts in Houston, and he's stayed in touch with family and tried to help them. This offseason probably will see him in Houston again, supporting a community where Lindsey grew his own firmly rooted values.
The Brazoria County Youth Home still exists, too, even though its ownership and mission have changed. It's been years since he lived there, but Lindsey keeps what it meant to him often in his thoughts.
"If we can't run a youth home shelter," he said, "maybe there's a few other small things we can do for the community."

When pioneer Nat St Croix's father is killed by a bear while they are out trapping along the Canadian border, Nat is in a turmoil. What should she do? The war is raging between the north and the south, so Nat decides to carry on with the plans they had already made. Nat and her animals are going to spend the winter in the small north west town they usually went to.
On Nat's arrival in town, she checks into the hotel. She decides to eat in the dining room. It's here that Nat's life is turned upside down. But will she find her home?
Another excellent heartfelt story from one of my favorite authors. This book is a romance written in the historical time of the American civil war. One of my favorite periods in history.
All the characters are well developed and multidimensional. Gyp the dog plays a main part and is equally as loveable as his mistress, Nat.
The story is all about choices. But I had to question myself as to whether we actually have a choice when we meet our soul mate. Nat has to make a choice, the big outdoors or love. What will she choose?
As with previous Ali Spooner books I've read, I couldn't put this down. It's a page turner from the first page through to the last page. I love her easy to read, comfortable style of writing. There are a few typos, but nothing that pulled me out of the story, far from it. For the very reasonable price and the pleasure I got from this book, I can overlook those.
I have all of Ali's works and I haven't read them all yet. But believe me when I say, this is going to be a great pleasure.

The end of the first season of the X-Men TV show The Gifted saw the Mutant Underground split in two very different directions. It's the type of idealogical difference that we've seen play out in various iterations of the X-Men for years but this one is with different characters. Entertainment Weekly has shared a first look at the second season of the Fox and Marvel TV show. Polaris aka Lorna Dane (Emma Dumont) is pregnant and the baby was making her even more powerful. Now six months have passed and she's getting ready to go into labor.
"We saw at the end of last season that the baby really affected her powers and made her stronger," Dumont says. "We don't know what this labor will do."
Labor is bad enough without throwing super powers and lack of proper medical care but Lorna has a new friend looking out for her.
At least she's got Reeva Payge (Empire's Grace Byers), a new mutant introduced this season. Reeva, who can produce sonic blasts that scramble minds, reigns over a group called the Inner Circle and is hell(fire)-bent on making sure Polaris survives. "They have big plans, and Polaris is a big part of those plans," creator Matt Nix explains.
While Lorna might have people around her that want to help make sure her and the baby survive that doesn't mean that they are looking out for Lorna's best interests either.
"When you get two alphas in the same space, there will be tension," Dumont teases. "Reeva makes Polaris look mild."
This isn't just with the new characters but with the Frost triplets (Skyler Samuels whose been bumped up to series regular) as well. She does, however, still have Andy Strucker to fall back on as he really looks up to her.
"The triplets and Polaris are not friends," Dumont says — but Andy Strucker (Percy Hynes White) and his new hairdo has become an unlikely ally. "Polaris has actually grown really close with Andy," Dumont explains. "They see each other as the only people they can trust in this situation… Polaris definitely takes on a mentorship role with Andy."
Dumont went on to say that we haven't seen a mutant give birth in any of the television shows or movies yet so this is sort of a big deal.
"We've never seen in any Marvel media, and sort of show or TV, a mutant pregnancy and then a mutant delivery," she says. "This is kind of a pinnacle moment. I feel very honored to be part of Marvel history in this way. It's super cool!"
Lorna's pregnancy wasn't exactly beloved by fans who were worried that this was an easy way for the writers to sideline a powerful woman but it sounds like they're jumping right into the baby being born in the second season. Whether or not the baby turns out to be a new iteration of a familiar X-men character has yet to be seen.
Summary: In a world where mutated humans are treated with distrust and fear, an institute for mutants battles to achieve peaceful co-existence with humanity.
The Gifted, created by Matt Nix, stars Stephen Moyer, Amy Acker, Natalie Alyn Lind, Percey Hynes White, Sean Teale, Emma Dumont, Jamie Chung, and Blair Redford. It will return on September 25th.

In Brazil, Father's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of August. On this day, it's common to see crowded stores, family reunions and gift shopping. But most children give a much more valuable gift to their fathers: health.
Many studies have demonstrated that, in general, men do not take good care of their health. Compared with women, men do not eat properly and do not exercise enough, and they also smoke more and go to the doctor less, according to the National Survey by Household Sample of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and the Health, Welfare and Aging Survey of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). As a result, men have more health problems and shorter life expectancy.
Some studies have demonstrated that children can play a crucial role in their fathers' health. Having children brings a lot of change to the lives of everyone around them, and because of them it's common for parents to rethink the future – from financial planning to questions regarding their own health. "The simple fact of having children makes you think more about how you behave so you can be there for them until they learn how to walk with their own feet," says Luciano Paladini, medical analyst, Evidências - Kantar Health. "Besides, today a lot of information is just a click away for even the youngest kids, and thus our children are often aware of healthy and unhealthy habits, such as driving while talking on the phone, smoking, high-fat diet, and so on... And they can be very 'nagging' in this respect."
Setting a good example can help the child to develop healthier habits and can bond fathers with their kids, receiving affection when they remember to perform regular checkups, take care of their health or exercise. "It is scientifically proven, for example, in relation to smoking: parents who smoke are more likely to have a child who also smokes in adolescence or young adulthood. For me, this goes for all habits: smoking, diet, physical activity... The point is that the affinities of the parents are not necessarily the same of the children, and we have to be careful to not force them to follow a pattern that can, later, make them feel repulsed," Paladini says.
In 2009, the Brazilian Ministry of Health created the National Men's Health Policy to highlight the number of male deaths related to bad habits. In addition, some states promote "Blue August," taking this opportunity to perform actions for care and information regarding men's health. According to the Ministry of Heath, men live a mean of seven years less than women, and they are more likely to have heart disease, cancer and diabetes and higher cholesterol and blood pressure.
Being a father is not only to teach but also to learn from those who want to have you around more: your children. "Setting an example is key; in the end these healthy habits lead to being able to perform more demanding tasks (even mentally). Your child may not understand it very well at first, but he/she will certainly thank you when he/she gets to 40," Paladini says.

UPDATE: The 49ers officially announced Patricik Willis' retirement on Tuesday.
49ers CEO Jed York released a statement saying, "Some of the greatest memories in the history of our franchise have come from his passion, dedication and sacrifice. Patrick epitomizes everything you could ever want in a San Francisco 49er... I consider myself very lucky to have grown up around some of the greatest players in the history of this franchise, and Patrick has certainly secured his place among that elite group of men."
Willis is expected to hold a press conference later Tuesday to discuss the decision.
From Monday:
San Francisco 49ers star linebacker Patrick Willis will reportedly retire, according to Yahoo's Rand Getlin.
Early Monday morning, ProFootball Talk's Mike Florio hinted that the 49ers had some surprising news coming later in the day, though he didn't reveal any details.
Willis, 30, has had a decorated career with the 49ers since being picked 11th in the first round of the 2007 draft. He was named First-Team All-Pro as a rookie and is a seven-time Pro Bowl player.
In 2014, Willis played only six games before missing the rest of the season with a toe injury.
According to spotrac.com, Willis would have earned more than $7 million in salary this season with about $800,000 in bonuses. His salary is not guaranteed for 2016, but if he were to keep playing, he would earn almost $8 million in salary with almost $2 million in bonuses.

Week In Review
The Chinese banking regulator mandated that at least a third of new loans must go to private firms (two thirds of new loans from smaller banks). This move is meant to address the difficulty firms are having obtaining financing in the face of an economic slowdown and large numbers of corporate defaults. Shares of Chinese banks dropped sharply and dragged down the broader Chinese market.
This mandate indicates that the Chinese government is pushing aside all other concerns in an effort to stem the ongoing economic slowdown. Forcing banks to make loans that they otherwise wouldn't make is likely to lead to even more defaults and bad debts, and this increases the risk of a Chinese financial crisis.
As expected, the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) announced its decision to maintain the federal funds rate at the current target of 2% to 2.25%. According to the Fed statement, the labor market continued to strengthen, unemployment declined, and economic activity has been "rising at a strong rate." The committee noted that household spending continued to grow strongly, while business investment moderated from its rapid pace. The committee also stated that inflation remains near its 2% target.
There was no meaningful change in the statement from the previous meeting. Nothing in the statement hinted that Fed officials plan to deviate from the stated gradual path of rate increases. An increase in the fed funds rate in December remains likely.
Voters across the country approved at least $24 billion of new bond sales this week to be used for various school, transportation, and infrastructure improvements. However, California voters rejected the $8.9 billion water infrastructure measure and Colorado voters did not pass the $6.5 billion and $3.5 billion measures for transportation and road projects.
The number of bond measures on the ballot this year reached the highest level since 2006. Many municipalities are now willing to start spending money on infrastructure and improvements, as the economy has improved. Even though voters passed certain measures, supply may not immediately increase. It may take years before some bonds are issued and the infrastructure projects occur.

It's one thing to give someone a surprise. It's quite another to surprise them with a herd of reindeer.
Ms. Kerce has an incredibly descriptive writing style that pulled me into every single scene. From the taste of lasagne to the sight of reindeer adjusting to their new home, I felt like I was standing next to the characters and experiencing everything through their eyes from the beginning to the end. This was the first time I'd ever read one of this author's stories, but I will be keeping an eye out for what she comes up with next.
While I was amused by the idea of Cherry delivering reindeer to Chaz instead of the horses he was expecting, I would have really liked to see more time spent developing this plot twist. Chaz's reactions to the big surprise weren't always consistent with how I would have expected this character to behave based on what the narrator shared about his personality previously. It would have been helpful to spend more time on this so that I could have a better understanding of whether or not he was acting like his normal self. If not for this issue, I would have chosen a much higher rating for this book.
The saucy dialogue made me grin. Both of the main characters were witty and intelligent, so they were always ready to say cheeky things to each other when the mood was right. What made their conversations even better was that Chaz and Cherry were so equally matched intellectually speaking. I liked seeing how their banter carried over into the sex scenes, too.
Give Christmas Cowboy a try if you're in the mood for something playful.

Meet Chloe Sanchez, JLL Intern
For our third annual Summer Internship program, we're fortunate to welcome 19 talented, high-performing interns to JLL in SoCal. These students have been very busy, immersed in real-time real estate projects, and preparing for their final presentations. We're happy to introduce you to each of them… one at a time.
Meet Chloe Sanchez
Chloe is interning with real estate brokerage professional Bart Reinhard, based in our Burbank office. Her main focus this summer has been to create a prospecting list for Bart. She has been canvasing, cold calling, and organizing the data she has received into a prospecting tool to connect with high-value potential clients.
What school are you attending?
What is your major?
Liberal Studies
What is your dream job?
I would love to be on the US National Soccer team and play in the World Cup.
What is your favorite past time?
Game nights with my family (boys vs. girls – it gets intense)
What app can you absolutely not do without?
Waze – without it, I don't know how I would get to work on time.
Who is your favorite band/musician?
I am recently a big country music fan (Florida Georgia Line, John Pardi, Luke Bryan, etc.)
What is the best advice you've ever received?
"You either get bitter or get better."
Who is the biggest influence in your life?
My parents – they are my most prominent motivators and supporters in my life.
What is a unique adventure or hobby people would say "wow" to?
I love water sports (single and double ski, wakeboard, wake-surf) and am an extremely average ping pong player (still enjoying playing though). I also recently was hit by a car while on a run…I don't think this qualifies as a hobby, but it was definitely adventurous.
What are you enjoying most about your internship experience?
The people – everyone I have met has been charismatic, honest, and insightful. They have made this internship so much more enjoyable!
What are you hoping to take away from this internship experience?
I hope to leave with a greater understanding and knowledge of commercial real estate – the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Describe yourself in three words.
Hardworking, respectful, and authentic.
Tell us something most people wouldn't know about you.
I don't sleep with a pillow. I don't think it's a big deal, but everyone seems to be appalled when I tell them.
Connect with Chloe on LinkedIn
The JLL Summer Internship Program provides students a head start into the real estate industry. They receive the support from our broker sponsors and professional staff, and the full depth of our corporate resources to achieve their personal and professional ambitions.

Happiness box (Blouse)
When she was a little girl she would believe in angels and fairy tales. She would attentively listen to her grandma's stories and came to believe that the princess always had a secret box of miracles hidden somewhere in her closet. If anything ever went wrong she would run to that secret place, open up the box and relieve all her problems. She would instantly be filled with hope and joy and dreams and visions assuring her that everything will be alright. Little did she know that those bundles of reassurances were kept there by her mom and grand mom and replenished whenever their little princess got upset or frightened. She still carried it with herself everywhere she went. What did the box contain? Guess we'll never know...❤

DocsPlus for Chrome gets an Exam Upgrade
DocsPlus for Chromebook – use in exams Read more here.
It's great to see that the excellent DocsPlus Chromebook app has been updated to incorporate the DocReader and customisable 'Exam Mode' settings introduced earlier in the Windows and Mac versions of the software. These exciting additions will facilitate the use of the app in exams for those students who qualify for additional access arrangements.
If you are already using the app, then it will automatically be updated. If you don't yet have the app and would like a free copy, please email us at email@example.com.
DocsPlus for Chromebook trial success
The ASN team at Cathkin High School, a mainstream secondary school in South Lanarkshire, supports students with a wide range of needs. including learners with dyslexia, ADHD and autism. The team has been trialling the DocsPlus Chromebook app.
Lorna Jensen, Principal Teacher of ASN, describes the difference that DocsPlus has made to the students' literacy output in a short space of time:
"There's no doubt that DocsPlus had a massive impact on the pupils during our trial. It improved their self-esteem, confidence and motivation with writing tasks. Certainly in the English department we found that their level of writing improved significantly. The letters the pupils wrote were comfortably at level three – before this, these pupils would have been producing work at an early level two, so there was definitely a tangible improvement in the quality of their written work."
There were some lovely comments from the students too:
"The spellchecker really helped. It helped me believe in myself, and gave me confidence with my writing." You can learn more about the trial here.
Prediction Software for Chrome
WordQ for Chrome from Quillsoft is a great tool for helping struggling writers. This app (deliberately not an extension) is robust, works offline, and integrates well with Google Drive. It's the best low-cost solution we've come across during our extensive sweep of available tools.
More details from Quillsoft about the app here.
Good prediction software allows the user to augment the core lexicon with personal and/or topic vocabulary.
The WordQ text editor is clean, and easy to use without over-complicating matters for users.
Features and facilities are all useful and easy to access.
Highland schools can contact the Assistive Technology Support Service (ATSS) for a demonstration or a trial of the software.
Text to Speech with ClaroRead for Chrome
If you're needing to offer your students simple, free text to speech to support their reading of web pages or PDFs – or any other digital text for that matter – ClaroRead is a really good tool. It's unobtrusive, and, once it's set up for your student, it doesn't require much attention.
You can download the extension from the Chrome Web Store and once installed this icon will show at the top of your screen.
Clicking it will open the discreet Control Panel which allow you to configure the tool to suit yourself or your student.
e.g. If you tick the settings like this your student can simply highlight text to hear it read aloud.
Experiment with the settings to suit your user – e.g. switching on Click and play will change the control panel accordingly. Watch a demo video here.
Using ClaroRead text to speech to support writing.
e.g. Students can also hear what they're writing as they type.
The prediction option in this free version is poor and not recommended. See here for a recommended prediction option.
There's also a full Help Guide to making use of the extension here.
Clicker 7 – Closing the Attainment Gap
Clicker Communicator for Chrome
Here's another option on another platform in the AAC market.
A new access device from Ablenet.
Despite iPads being touchscreen devices and having switch access built in, they remain inaccessible to many for a wide range of reasons.
The new Sidekick device from Ablenet promises access via mouse/joystick devices which should bring usage within the scope of many more users.
Book Creator – Significant Update
We at ATSS have always loved Book Creator and have suggested its use and trained numerous folks to use it and embed it into all sorts of curricular areas over a number of years. Book Creator has continuously developed over time onto different platforms and to offer additional tools and features.
This most recent development opens up an new world of possibilities for teachers to create interactive resources for their students while providing pupils with a fantastic work space in which they can showcase their work no matter (almost) what format it exists in.
Strictly Come Signing!
This is FAB-U-LOUS. Definitely gets a 10 from Len. Topical, high interest communication opportunity/support.

C. S. Lewis, described by some as the "patron saint of American evangelicals," is a very quotable writer, and evangelical Christians love to invoke him in sermons, social media posts, and casual conversation. However, you cannot always believe what you read. Expressions credited to him on social media or through google searches aren't always actually found in his writings. Over the last several years, William O'Flaherty has collected a growing list (over 70 at last count) of quotations attributed to Lewis that will be the focus of an upcoming book, The Misquotable C.S. Lewis, to be published by Wipf and Stock in mid-2018.
