The discussion about subtitling the posts in Swedish gave me an idea for some Monty Python-inspired Sticky Buns:
For those of you who have not seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail (Mønti Pythøn ik den Hølie Gräilen), the opening credits of this movie are subtitled in pseudo-Swedish, with the subtitles diverging more and more from the text of the credits.
After a few reasonable subtitles, the following lines appear:
Wi nøt trei a høliday in Sweden this yër?
See the løveli lakes
The wøndërful telephøne system
And mäni interesting furry animals
Including the majestik møøse
…and so on, the subtitles becoming more and more bizarre.
I have concluded from his remarks about "sharp, pointy teeth" that Betsy's and Gus's dad has seen Mønti Pythøn ik den Hølie Gräilen, so Betsy and Gus became my Sticky Buns companions in this adventure. I took the two little lagomorphs on a trip through the Swedish countryside:
See the løveli lakes (Betsy and Gus visit a nearby forest lake.)
The wøndërful telephøne system (Betsy and Gus visit a vintage rural telephone station still in use.)
And mäni interesting furry animals (Of course the little critters themselves, a closeup from the door of the telephone station)
Including the majestik møøse (…eh, NO. I did not find a moose to stick them to. This might happen in a follow-up posting though…:-)

I feel like being reflective today. About makeup, of course. In the last 18 months or so, I've tried a LOT of makeup, and reviewed most of it. But sometimes I'll love something when I get it, give it a great review, and then realize later that it doesn't wear well, is over-priced, or just isn't as good as another product. That's why I'm put together this list of stuff that I've had for a while and either love or hate.
The Good:
MAC Face & Body Foundation, $32 at maccosmetics.com, MAC 188 Brush, $34 at maccosmetics.com: This is officially the first foundation I've bought. I've had it for about 3 months and am about 1/3 of the way through, so I'm thinking it'll last me six more months, which is a good value for $32. The main thing that I love about it is that it's water-based, so it doesn't break me out. It's easy to layer, and it dries to a nice dewy finish. It's definitely not a heavy concealer--in fact, I'd say it's a light to medium coverage foundation, so if you have a lot of scarring/blemishes, a lot of redness, etc, it's probably not the best for you. I apply my foundation with this 188 brush. I'll be honest, it's not cheap at ALL. But it is a definite investment. I've had it since November, and it's still in perfects shape. I use it every day for my foundation, blush, contour, and highlight, and it does all of those things perfectly. It's more hygienic than using my fingers all over my face, and it lets me use much less product than I would with my fingers (which soak up everything). If you're like me and want one nice brush to multi-task with, this is it.
MAC Painterly Paint Pot, $16.50 at maccosmetics.com, MAC Shadows in, $14.50 at maccosmetics.com: I thought UDPP was my HG eye shadow primer. Oh, no. No, no, no. Painterly kicks UDPP's butt. The first time I wore it, I put on my makeup at 8AM, wore it all day, fell asleep in my makeup (bad Megan), and woke up the next morning to perfect eyeshadow. That's impressive. With UDPP I had to touch-up before dinner, and with Painterly I'm set for 24 hours. Plus, Painterly is cheaper, has more efficient packaging, and actually evens out the color of my lids. I'm totally hooked on paint pots. I'm thinking Bare Study's gonna be my next shimmer base. Out of all the shadows I've ever tried, MAC wins. Hands down. I'm not saying all MAC shadows are perfect, but they are pretty darn fantastic. My personal favorites are Wedge, a matte medium brown that's a great crease color, Satin Taupe, Femme Fi, my sadly limited edition HG highlight color, Mythology, this fab sparkling copper, Romp, a shimmer bronze, and Shale, a sparkly lavender. I've hit pan on four of those shadows, and that's something I've never, ever done before.
MAC Fun & Games Blush, MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer, $16.50 at maccosmetics.com: I am definitely not a blush person. My skin has a lot of pink undertones, and adding blush on top of that often makes me look sunburned or feverish. Not cute. But Fun & Games blush (limited edition from the Hello Kitty collection, yes, I am that mean), is perfection. It's a pale pinky-peach with gold shimmer that gives me a little pop of color but doesn't make me look ill. Plus, the packaging is SO CUTE. I've gone through 3 of these MAC concealers. I don't think I've ever gone through 3 of any makeup products before, ever. I've had tons and tons of conealers, even the famed MUFE one, but this is by far the best. It sticks around all day, matches my skin perfectly, and covers up everything without looking cakey. I've even caught my little brother stealing it, and if that doesn't convince of its awesomeness, well...I can't help you.
Stila Smudge Pot in Black, $20 at sephora.com, Max Factor Volume Couture Waterproof Mascara: I've sure some of you remember that about 6 months ago I loved, loved, loved Bobbi Brown's gel liner. And then I got this Smudge Pot, and it all changed. The Bobbi Brown liner would get me through about 4 PM, and then I'd have to reapply because it would fade/flake/smudge off. The Stila stays pristine ALL DAY. Even the little cat-eye flick on my outer corner, which I rub at all the time, is perfect. It's easy to apply, and the mini version that I have has lasted me 7 months. And I'm only halfway done with it. Imagine how long the real version will last! I've noticed that in the 85+ degree LA weather, a bit of the liner will get into my crease by the end of the day, but it's barely noticeable. This last one makes me sad. It's my beloved Max Factor mascara, and it's been discontinued. I've tried Great Lash, Covergirl, Lancome, Dior, Chanel, Benefit, almost every mascara at Sephora, and they all pale in comparison to this drugstore find. I can layer it on for more or less drama, it never EVER clumps or flakes, and it's totally waterproof, but comes off easily. I'm totally going to resort to buying this from Europe on eBay. Darn you, Max Factor, and how you taunt me with HG mascara!!!
The Bad:
Urban Decay Primer Potion, $18 at sephora.com, Urban Decay 24/7 Liners, $17 at sephora.com: I'm sure most of y'all are shocked to see these two in the bad section. So am I. It's not that they're really terrible products, it's just that I've found significantly better versions of them. UDPP has been shamed by MAC's Painterly. UDPP doesn't last as long, the container is ridiculously wasteful, and UDPP doesn't conceal any lid perfections. It's just a crappier version of Painterly. The UD liners are well beloved, I know, and don't get me wrong, I love how they apply. They go on so creamy, and have a nice range of colors. However, the lasting power, especially on the waterline, is so subpar. I put Zero on my waterline at 8AM and it's gone by 11AM. Not cool. Not cool at all. I'm thinking of trying the MUFE liners instead. If you really love the shade of one of these liners and you don't mind reapplying 4x a day, then these are for you. If you're like me and like to apply your makeup in the morning and be done with it, don't bother with these.
MAC Nocturnelle Shadow, $14.50 at maccosmetics.com, Seche Vite Top Coat, $6.85 at amazon.com: It hurts me to hate on a MAC shadow, but Nocturnelle (which I incidentally bought during, and across the street from the LA IMATS last year), is not great. It's not even good. I really like the color, a warm medium purple, but the pigmentation sucks. I have to put in on wet to get it to show up. And it's not just me, I know other people have this problem. All of my other MAC shadows are like satin, and this one applies like chalk. Ugh. I know, I know, Seche Vite is "the best top coat ever." For about a month. And then it dries up, get's stringy, and completely stops working, and you can only thin it out again with special Seche Vite thinner. I just can't afford to buy a new top coat every month, even though it's fab for those first few weeks. I'd rather have a more consistent, longer lasting top coat that's not as shiny (it's so darn shiny), but actually functions for more than 30 days.
Anastasia Perfect Brow Pencil, $22 at sephora.com, Givenchy Mr. Light Corrective Pen, $32 at sephora.com: I've repurchased this Anastasia pencil twice, but I'm starting to think that it's not all that great. Why? The color range is quite limited, the pencil isn't that big, and $22 is a LOT for a brow pencil. I like this pencil in the morning, but it fades a lot throughout the day, and it's basically gone by nightfall. I've heard the MAC, Maybelline, and Rimmel make better, cheaper options that I'm gonna check out. Oh, Mister Light. How wonder you sounded on sephora.com. It's touted as a cheaper Touche Eclat. It's not. It's just a thin, milky concealer in a click-up pen. It's not terrible, but it's not illuminating and it's not very concealing. It's just kind of...blah. I'm using up my tube, but I would never spend $30 on this product knowing how it applied. I have a $2 pencil that does a better job at concealing under eye circles.

A consultation giving people the opportunity to share their views about proposed new charges for the county council's older people's day centre services will begin today (Monday 25 March).
People who use the centres, their families, day centre staff and partner organisations have until Monday 20 May to share their views.
Lancashire County Council runs 13 day centres that offer support for older people and people living with dementia. Activities at the centres include everything from mobility exercises and independent living support, to crafts and discussion groups.
The proposal to increase the fees has been made as the current rates do not cover the cost of providing the service.
This proposed change will apply to people who pay for the day service themselves.
Tony Pounder, director of adult services, said: "The county council faces a tough financial challenge, which means we have to look at all services.
"The current day centre fees for people who pay for services themselves were set in 2014 and have not kept pace with the actual cost of providing care which has risen considerably over the past five years. This is largely due to the increased and sometimes complex needs of people who attend our day centres. It is vital we staff to a level to keep people safe and well cared for.
"The new rates cover the actual cost of providing the service including the extra staff needed to support people with dementia.
"These proposals have been considered by county councillors but they now want to ensure people who use these day services have the opportunity to share their own views about the increases.
"Once the consultation has finished, the results will be considered by the Cabinet before it makes a final decision.
"The rates for people whose day centre care is funded by the county council itself will not be affected by these proposals."
If the proposals are approved, day centre charges would increase:
• From £31.30 to £37.45 per full day for older people to use the council's day services
• From £35 to £41 per full day for older people to use the council's day services with transport to and from the centres (where transport is available)
• From £54.75 to £65.50 for older people who have dementia to use the council's day services. These costs reflect the additional staff support needed
• From £58 to £69 for people who need additional support for dementia to use the council's day services with transport to and from the centres (where transport is available)
If these new fees are agreed, they will then be reviewed and adjusted each year to ensure they cover the council's costs.
Anyone wanting to take part in the consultation can return their completed printed questionnaire in the prepaid envelope supplied or fill in the online consultation at www.lancashire.gov.uk/consultations.
Anyone with questions about the consultation can contact their day centre, call us on 01772 535899 or email email@example.com.

So you have purchased an AirPort Extreme Base Station. Now, you need to start reading the below guidelines. So without any delay, let's get started. AirPort Extreme is a brilliantly-designed and completely-featured Wi-Fi base station. It offers dual-band wireless networking facility on a simultaneous basis by using the 802.11ac specification. Once set up the AirPort Extreme device, it generates two high-speed Wi-Fi networks.
- A 2.4 gigahertz (GHz) network is meant for 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n devices, including iPod touch, iPhone, and earlier computers.
- A 5 GHz network is meant for 802.11n, 802.11a, and 802.11ac devices, including iPad, iPhone, Apple TV, and the latest computers.
Wi-Fi devices are capable of connecting to the network (automatically) that offers the best compatibility and performance. AirPort Extreme also shares its users' broadband Internet connection with devices and computers on the respective network.
AirPort Extreme Ports:
The AirPort Extreme device exhibits six ports on its backside:
|One Gigabit Ethernet WAN (Wide Area Network) port is meant for connecting a cable modem or DSL. And it is also meant for making a connection to an existing Ethernet network.
|Three Gigabit Ethernet LAN (Local Area Network) ports are used for connecting Ethernet devices, including computers or printers. And it is also used for connecting to the specific Ethernet network (existing).
|One USB port is present to connect a compatible hard disk, USB printer, or hub in order to connect multiple devices.
|The power port is meant for connecting AirPort Extreme to a source of an AC power.
A reset button is present in the adjacent location of the power port and meant for troubleshooting the AirPort Extreme device. And the status light, present on the front part, displays its present status.
Plugging In the AirPort Extreme Device:
Before plugging in the AirPort Extreme device, first, you need to connect the suitable cables to the respective ports that you prefer to use:

While in Wisconsin, you might enjoy a visit to:
Roscoe, Illinois: Historic Auto Attractions
Much more than cars. Probably the largest collection of JFK assassinationabilia on the planet, in a massive mix of pop culture and you-are-almost-there history. Also: Bonnie and Clyde's death hats!
Janesville, Wisconsin: Bessie the Cow
A "Cowlossus of Roads" - larger-than-life fiberglass rendering of a rural milk machine. Local landmark restored to prominence among stores and development along the highway.
Oregon, Illinois: Black Hawk, the Rock River Colossus
Dedicated in 1911 as "The Eternal Indian," but the locals call it Chief Black Hawk. At 48 feet high, it's the second-tallest monolithic concrete statue in the world. It cracked in the brutal Winter of 2014 and is currently wrapped like a mummy in black plastic.
Mount Morris, Illinois: Illinois Freedom Bell
Cherished version of the original Liberty Bell in Philadelphia is centerpiece for local July 4th celebration. The sign reads: "Let Freedom Ring!"

Who's safeguarding your credit union's reputation?
If you perform the public relations function for your credit union, this is not the summer to coast on auto-pilot. Unfortunately, the grim fallout from negative national financial news is leaving credit unions needlessly open to unfounded concerns regarding their own safety and soundness.
With staff and budget constraints a given nowadays, you have to work smart to effectively position your credit union's continued good financial health with your members and community. And that means avoiding "one-off" communications in favor of a well-built and orchestrated communications plan.
In fact, a thoughtful, well-targeted communications plan addressing the issues of summer 2008 can serve as a case study for you to put on the shelf and tap into for guidance when similar public relations challenges arise in the future. No need to "reinvent the wheel" when you have effective and efficient processes in place that you know have worked well.
Here are seven savvy steps to safeguarding your credit union's reputation, as you turn the spillover from negative national news into positive positioning for your credit union:
1) When crafting your press release and supporting member communications, time really is of the essence. Fannie's and Freddie's woes may seem geographically remote from you, but in this cyber age, your local community and members are absorbing those TV sound bites and drawing their own, often erroneous, conclusions. To get in front of that situation, you need to get out the good news about your credit union's fiscal health sooner rather than later.
2) As you prepare to move your message out the door, always double-check your local media contact list for accuracy. You don't want your message to arrive in the wrong contact's mailbox, where it may not be promptly forwarded to the correct recipient. If possible, give your key contacts a head's up that a timely release is soon to follow.
3) When briefing your customer contact personnel on your messaging, plan to give them brief Question & Answer takeaways as an overview of the key points of the message. If, for example, you are addressing member concerns over the federal insurance coverage for their accounts, a printed recap of NCUA's insurance coverage could come in handy at teller windows or other areas of customer interaction.
4) And do pay equal attention to your webpage. Be sure your messaging on your home page is robust and front-and-center, for those members whose preferred point of contact with their credit union is electronic.
5) Following the rollout of your initial communications, develop follow-up messages to drive the message home a second time. A statement stuffer or lobby placards, for example, could reiterate for members the NCUA insurance coverage.
6) Integrate safety and soundness into your marketing to new members. A brief feature piece on your website could spotlight new members who have sought out the safety and soundness of your credit union, as they turn away from more volatile financial markets.
7) When you feel you have now made your best effort, debrief yourself while your work is fresh in your mind. Review your communications plan and make notes. What worked really well? What could you refine for more effective implementation next time?
The sometimes unsettling events of this spring and summer bring to mind that old familiar saying, "when given lemons, make lemonade." Because the saturation media coverage of the sour financial situation nationally is, oddly enough, a great opportunity to get the good word out that credit unions, built on solid financial ground, continue to thrive and serve their members well.

Happy Thanksgiving
This year I just happen to be reading America: A Narrative History Brief Edition by George Brown Tindall and David Emory Shi. This is for my oldest's history this year, but I am reading it as well. I am really enjoying this book. Recently reading about the Revolution and the founding of our nation has made this Thanksgiving even more meaningful for me. I think we all need reminders of our history to keep it fresh in our minds. I am thankful for so much.
I wish all my fellow bloggers and readers a very Happy Thanksgiving. And happy reading! The long weekend for me is the perfect opportunity to get in lots of reading time.

Engineering Approach to Treatment of Diabetes With Dr. Katarzyna Radecka McGill University Faculty Host: David Castanon Refreshments will be served outside Room 339 at 12:45 p.m. Abstract: Diabetes is a chronic disease reaching epidemic proportions worldwide. Its treatment requires the administration of insulin several times a day. However, unlike other chronic diseases, in this case the dose of medication varies with each application due to factors such as exercise, current blood glucose level, carbohydrates consumption and variations in personal metabolism. This talk will present the progress in our research at McGill University aimed at the development of hardware and software solutions for better management of diabetes by tracking exercise, food and blood glucose levels. In particular, we will discuss the multi-sensor embedded processor platforms, and their integration with a continuous glucose monitoring system. Further, we will describe metabolism modeling and a microfluidics platform testbed implementing the model. Finally, methods for improving accuracy and the precision, as well as the self-calibration of continuous blood glucose monitoring system will be outlined. The talk will conclude with an overview of the undergraduate design projects at McGill's ECE Department. About the Speaker: Dr. Katarzyna Radecka received her Ph.D. from McGill University in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Before her doctoral studies, she worked for Lucent Technologies, working on design and testing of communications hardware. Following her Ph.D. work, she joined Concordia University as Assistant Professor. She subsequently rejoined McGill as Lecturer and Adjunct Professor. She is co-founder and Principal Technology Officer of ExerMeta Inc., a company that develops distributed sensors systems for the management of diabetes.

This study proposes a novel electrically doped tunnel field effect transistor (ED-TFET), which combines thermionic emission and band to band tunnelling by using an additional metal source (MS) of appropriate work function (WF; 3.9 eV) by forming an ohmic junction between metal and silicon. The ohmic junction is created below the channel region near the source channel junction by depositing of appropriate workfunction metal (lower than silicon) which injects extra electrons through over the barrier along with band to band tunneling (BTBT) in the channel of the device. Therefore, a drastic improvement in the ON state current is observed which is numerically about 107 times greater than conventional ED-TFET. Furthermore, the radiofrequency figures of merit such cut-off frequency, gain band width product, and maximum oscillating frequency are enhanced by ∼, 20 and 1000 times, respectively, however, intrinsic gain and transconductance generation factor have nearly 66.66 and 14.28% improvement compared to conventional ED-TFET. Furthermore, the concepts of drain underlapping and dual metal gate have been used to checkout OFF-state current and negative conductance as a final proposal. In addition, this study has also investigated the performance variations in the proposed structure due to the WF change of CG2, length of and position of MS.
This work deals with a distinct concept to realise the junction-less tunnel field effect transistor (JL TFET) by creating the plasma of charges. The crux of this study is to reduce ambipolar conduction and to improve high-frequency figure of merits. To construct a JL TFET, initially silicon film is considered and then metal electrodes are used to form drain and channel region. The drain electrode is separated into two sections and the work function of section adjacent to channel is selected higher than the other section. This provides a non-uniform doping profile in the drain region creating large barrier at the drain/channel junction to prevent the ambipolar conduction. Ambipolarity is reduced to from at . The selection of work function and length of drain electrode adjunct to channel is crucial for optimising device performance. This optimisation provides information that work function >4.0 eV and length = 10 nm completely suppresses the ambipolarity which is around with little degradation in ON-current. The high work function for the section of drain electrode adjunct to channel provides lower gate-to-drain capacitance () and superior high-frequency responses. Furthermore, performance assessment at circuit level is done by implementing primary digital circuits as inverter and NAND logic with lookup table based Verilog-A model.
In this work, the performance estimation of polarity controlled electrostatically doped tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) is reported. The proposed device exhibits heavily doped n-type Si-channel with two distinctive gates, namely control gate (CG) and polarity gate (PG). First, the CG and PG work functions of 4.72 eV are considered to convert the layer beneath CG and PG of intrinsic type. Next, the PG voltage of −1.2 V is used at source side to induce a p+ region, so that, it follows the similar trend as like a n + –i–p + gated structure of conventional TFET. Silvaco ATLAS simulation of the proposed device shows I ON/I OFF ratio of ∼7.8 × 1010 and OFF current is less than 1 fA, with high-k dielectric of gate material at V DS = 0.5, V. Finally, a minimum point subthreshold slope of 12 mV/decade at 300 K is achieved, which indicates that the proposed TFET has the potential to achieve better than ITRS low-standby-power switch performance.
Abruptness at tunnelling junction is a vital issue with doped tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) to achieve improved electrostatic characteristics. This task is more problematic for charge plasma TFET (CP-TFET) because of large tunnelling barrier at the channel/source interface. In this regard, an effective approach has already been employed through implantation of a horizontal metallic splint (HMS) inside the dielectric region near channel/source joint for improved electrical behaviour of CP-TFET. However, placement of a vertical metal splint (VMS) provides contact for HMS and gate electrode, which gives magnificent analogue/DC characteristics for newer structure. Combination of HMS and VMS (i.e. double metal splint (DMS)) increases electron density at channel/source junction for improved electron tunnelling rate compared with only HMS structure. In this regard, a complete comparative analysis of DMS CP TFET (DMS-CP-TFET) is performed between CP-TFET and HMS-CP-TFET. Furthermore, consequence of length and work-function variation of DMS and HMS on DC/RF parameters is investigated in device optimisation part of this work.

Filmmaker Prakash Jha says he and actress Priyanka Chopra were very keen to work with each other for years, but when he was working on "Jai Gangaajal", he felt she wouldn't have time for the project, given her busy schedule.
Jha said: "We were talking since many years that we should be working together. And when I started developing this idea, there were discussions and I told Priyanka that she would not have the time for it since she was doing 'Bajirao Mastani' and 'Quantico', and might even go to the moon for a new film. "
Ultimately, Priyanka signed up for the film in which she has essayed a furious police officer.
"When I narrated the script to her. in 15 minutes she said that she will do Abha Mathur's role and also said that no one else could play it. I asked her to take out dates. . . So, she took the 30 - day period between the two films and we completed 'Jai Gangaajal' in that period, " Jha added.
The 63 - year - old filmmaker is known for his films "Apaharan", "Raajneeti", "Aarakshan" and "Satyagraha". He is also making his acting debut with "Jai Gangaajal", which revisits the dusty heartland of central India and examines the society - police relationship.

I said goodbye,
and your blink never happened.
You missed it as my face closed,
and the shadows within my heart,
shuttered over it, inflamed
by your indifference
and your missing awareness.
I remember the moment that
my goodbye became final,
when I realized that no matter
how hard or how long I knocked,
you simply
did not have enough
for me and
for what I needed to chase
these shadows holed up in
this heart.
So, goodbye.
When you wake,
I shall be gone
into the shadows.

After a busy school year, it's natural to ease off the academics over the summer. However, I find that by the end of the summer I always crave academic stimulus.
Then, when I get back to class, I find it hard to adjust to more concentrated thinking for the first couple of weeks. Luckily, there are some great resources to help you stay in the academic groove over the summer. Best of all, they don't cost a cent!
Now, before you accuse me of trying to trick you into doing homework over the summer, hear me out. I'm not suggesting you write a thesis or redo all your WebWorks (unless you're into that), but rather to explore your academic interests and passions, at your own pace.
It's learning for love—no marks or grades involved!
1. Open Collections
UBC's Open Collections is a broad database of photo archives, educational material, and UBC-related content accessible to everyone.
Take a look at newspapers dating back to 1859, read theses and dissertations written by UBC students, or watch lectures on quantum theory. There's an indelible wealth of information, and truly something for everyone!
2. Class Central with UBC
Class Central is a collection of free, self-paced, online courses.
Dreaming of writing a novel? There's a course for that. Have a great idea for an app, but lacking the coding credentials? There's a course for that, too. Class Central has an incredible range of courses related to a variety of fields—check it out.
3. Criterion on Demand
Who said watching movies wasn't a rigorous academic activity?
Criterion on Demand is a streaming platform much like Netflix, but it's available free to UBC students. There's all types of content: documentaries, instructional films, classic comedies, and dramas. For the film buffs, much of the coveted Criterion Collection is available on this platform for free—so, take advantage of it!
You can watch anything from new hits like Moonlight, or classics like 8 ½—my personal favourite film.
It's like a Film Studies course in the palm of your hand!
4. Open Yale Courses
Imagine taking a course on Modern Poetry while sitting on a sunny patio—Yale Online Courses makes this possible.
Hosted by Yale University, the program offers dozens of full courses, from Biomedical Engineering to Ancient Greek History, with video recordings of each lecture. The syllabi are published online so you can keep up with the readings.
5. Artstor
While a trip to the Louvre might not be in your summer schedule, Artstor is the next best thing.
This digital library hosts thousands of images of artworks and photographs, from Da Vinci to Damien Hirst, and promises to offer "the most extensive image resource for educational and scholarly use." Virtually stroll through galleries such as the Baltimore Museum of Art or the Metropolitan Museum of Art, or meander through curated collections of work by artists like Andy Warhol.
The website also features blog pieces to help keep you up to date with everything happening in the art world. It's never been so easy to brush up on art history!
6. Academia.Edu
Academia.Edu is an always-changing, always-fascinating collection of scholarship!
I originally discovered Academia.edu while researching for a paper. The resource allows users to upload their own academic work, which can then be viewed by other users. It also tailors a reading list and offers suggestions based on previous content that you've read.
I subscribed to their mailing list and now I receive fascinating papers that are relevant both to my studies and my interests. Give it a try.
Learning, no classroom required
These are just 6 ways to stay in the academic game over the summer months. But it's no sweat—there's no test at the end of the line. It's all about exploring your interests and learning something along the way.
With these resources, you can learn philosophy, poolside, or botany at the beach—all for free.
So stay sharp this summer and have fun doing it!

Today, I am grateful for antibiotics.
Having spent the past several days in an uncharacteristically miserable physical state, I finally went to the doctor, got a quick diagnosis (strep! I thought only children — and my dear friend Jocelyn — got strep?), and came home with a lovely little packet of pills. I feel better already. On the rare occasions I get sick, I try — in the spaces between melodramatic flops on couches, hyperbolic complaints, and sniffles — to remember how lucky I am to be generally healthy. I try. Today, I feel it: from my throat that no longer feels engulfed in flames, to my brain that today can concentrate on more than the subject of healing, to my feet that might be back in running shape tomorrow. Yahoo.
I'll be back to my regularly scheduled programming this week, but today I'll tell you about the two books I read this week (tearing a page from Megan at Sorta Crunchy's book, this is a half-hearted attempt to share what I am into):
1). The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins — I had absolutely no desire to read this series, despite receiving recommendations from respected friends. Hmmmm… a young adult novel about a post-apocalyptic teenaged death match? The combination of science fiction, violence, and fantasy was so far out of my wheelhouse I dismissed it immediately. No thank you very much. But something made me pick it up at the library last week, and I couldn't put it down thereafter. The character development, the suspense of the story, hooked me from the start. Go figure. Now that I am well enough, I'll be stalking the library today for the second book.
2). Beautiful Boy by David Sheff — I've wanted to read this father's account of his son's descent into meth addiction since I heard Nic and David Sheff interviewed on NPR (harrowing family dramas like this, the description of which made my husband literally recoil in horror, are right up my alley, by the way). The honesty and depth with which Sheff recounts his experiences parenting his "beautiful boy" stunned me. If you have any interest in addiction and its effect on family dynamics, I highly recommend you read Beautiful Boy. This line from the book keeps ringing in my head: "… living with this over time, I am now being allowed — allowing myself? — to crawl up out of the pit and lift the veil that covers it and to witness, with visual and aural and tactile acuity, a slightly altered world, slightly brighter, richer, and vivider. I well up with tears for it." Nic Sheff has also now written two books of his own, Tweak and We All Fall Down, about his own addiction and recovery.
And now, back to my own recovery. Thank goodness it is all downhill from here.
If you are reading this today, I hope you are doing so in good health that you don't take for granted. Thank you, always, for showing up.
Kris permalinkDecember 1, 2011 1:04 pm
Feel better soon and enjoy books 2 and 3 of the trilogy. I did. Oh and it looks like you are finally getting some blessed rain? Miss you!
Deb Cayer permalinkDecember 1, 2011 4:26 pm
Anne, the Hunger Games series just keeps getting better; I stayed up all night reading them. It's a sci-fi apocalyptic world, but the author says she also wrote it in light of knowledge that her father had insisted she and her sibs learn about modern history. I'd love to figure out a way to do this as a teen/adult discussion group. Feel better soon!

Please help us find Karen Scott say locals in hunt for missing pal
Woman with special needs has been missing for five days
An entire community has rallied to help search for missing woman Karen Scott, who has Down Syndrome.
Karen's friendly nature and enthusiasm for meeting people ensured she was one of the best-known residents of the Barnamore area of Finglas.
The Den Youth Centre on Saint Helena's Road has a large room dedicated to the search, where a co-ordinating team of local people carefully file each possible sighting, dispatch volunteers, follow up on information and keep gardai informed.
"Teams of volunteers have been travelling into the city centre late at night to search the streets," said search co-ordinator Robert Burke (35), a next-door neighbour of the Scott family.
Karen's disappearance on Friday has spurred neighbours, friends and acquaintances to join the search teams determined to find her.
During a visit by the Herald to The Den, Robert was getting ready to travel to Dun Laoghaire Shopping Centre to follow up on a claim that Karen had been seen there.

- Read more: CCTV emerges of missing woman with Down Syndrome hours after last sighting
"The report said the woman who was seen had flowery trousers," said Robert, who liaises with the gardai on behalf of the volunteers.
Many of those involved in the search grew up with 44-year-old Karen, who has lived with her mother Kathleen and brother Eddie all her life.
Beverley Gannon, a base manager for the volunteers, said the careful recording of every possible sighting and the organisation of search teams owes a lot to experience – valuable lessons were learned from searches carried out for a missing woman and a missing man in recent years.
Neat piles of incident sheets and team allocation records are placed beside maps of urban areas.
"We had 72 volunteers signing in yesterday to take part in searches. We're encouraging people to sign up instead of doing their own thing. That way, we can avoid overlapping our efforts," said Beverley.
"All the volunteers wear high-visibility vests with photos of Karen attached to them."
Another possible sighting only minutes before the arrival of the Herald caused hopes to soar.
"Some volunteers going into town to put up posters at Luas stops were on a bus on Whitworth Road when they thought they saw Karen going into a house," said volunteer Joe Lynch.
"They got off the bus and called the guards. We're waiting for the guards to check it out."
Half-an-hour later, word arrives that gardai entered the house and confirmed the woman was not Karen.
"I've known Karen all my life. She's very sociable. She loves ballad music and loves dogs and would talk to anyone," said local resident Caroline Aaron.
Tom Carey (67) said: "I've known her for years and years. Karen has been like a daughter to me.
"I would be bringing my own grandson to the zoo or the cinema and Karen would ask to come along. I'd bring her along and she would be great company. She could be quite humorous.
"She also came on outings to Dun Laoghaire and Wexford.
"I perform at cabarets in Dublin, and Karen would often travel to the Red Cow Inn to see me sing. Everyone is worried. My grandson is devastated."
Several local people said Karen would sometimes cause concern when she would not be seen for hours, but for her to be gone overnight was "completely against the grain."
"She is so well-known in Finglas. Everyone knows her," said a volunteer.
Local businesses have been helping out by supplying food and refreshments for volunteers. The teams are also grateful to Crosscare and the centre's management for the use of the room.
Karen's mother, Kathleen, made a television appeal for help, speaking movingly about how her family were sick with worry.
"Karen is very independent and knows her bus routes and everything and she has gone out before on her own, but she has always come back that night. This time it's different," said Kathleen.
"We're very concerned for her. There have been no sightings since Friday.
"I had been up in Finglas village with her doing some shopping earlier, and when we got home she said she was going upstairs for a lie down.
"I dozed off on the couch myself for a while and when I woke up she was gone."

CareOne At Livingston Expands Advanced Memory Care Assisted Living Program
CareOne at Livingston is expanding the Harmony Lodge Community, a unique assisted living wing housed within the skilled nursing facility for those living with advanced memory impairments. The current program is home to 24 residents and the expansion will include 20 new private rooms. Construction of the new private rooms is expected to be complete by mid-June. "The goal of our Harmony Lodge program is to enable residents who have advanced memory impairments to get the support and assistance they need while still maintaining their independence wherever possible," said Michael Daichman, Regional Director of Operations for CareOne's assisted living communities. "While the Harmony Village program located in our assisted living communities offers tailored programs and services to those whose memory impairments are in the earlier stages, Harmony Lodge provides an increased level of care for those who need it within our skilled nursing centers under the assisted living umbrella, including 24-hour nursing care as the patient's disease progresses," he said.
For more information about Harmony Lodge and to schedule a tour, please call (973) 758-9000 or visit us online at www.careonelivingston.com.

Rhythms of the Liberation of Consciousness. Part 1.
We get attached to the world around us with our consciousness and with our feelings. Human logic is material and it is related to the assessment of the situation. Consciousness is in a constant attempt to lead, to control everything that happens. But Divine logic is linked to the soul and for the soul to become fully alive, we must stop our consciousness. There was a saying in ancient India: "The main enemy of a man - is a thought". Jesus taught, "Blessed are the poor in spirit", i.e. those who are able to set free from attachment, from the constant control over the situation, those who rely on the divine will, not their own ego. "Rhythms of the liberation of consciousness" are intended to help to get rid of the thoughts and affections. Our feelings are the higher consciousness. Love gives rise to feelings and they in their turn generate thoughts. In order to experience love, you need to tune in to the Divine rhythms, to stop the regular course of thoughts and feelings. The external consciousness should sleep, as the soul wakes up. "Rhythms" help initiating this process.

Chamber welcomes SBA boss to the Valley
BOARDMAN — Attendees at the Youngstown Warren Regional Chamber's annual "Salute to Business" at Mr. Anthony's on Thursday morning celebrated the impact small business has on the Mahoning Valley while learning how such businesses are being represented in the nation's capital.
Linda McMahon, the administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration and a member of President Donald Trump's Cabinet, delivered a keynote address lauding the president's actions on the economy and their effects on the 30 million American small businesses.
"It's great to have a president who understands business," said McMahon, who noted that unemployment is the lowest it has been in 18 years.
McMahon also said optimism abounds among entrepreneurs these days, evidenced by the $48 billion in loan guarantees to small business owners since President Trump was inaugurated in January 2017. Thanks to President Trump's tax cuts, McMahon said, most small businesses can deduct more of their income than before the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed last December.
McMahon, who was co-founder and former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, spoke briefly of her experience as a small business owner. WWE began as a small, regional company with 13 employees and has grown into an international, publicly traded organization with offices all over the world.
McMahon recalled a time when she had to clean an arena bathroom by herself in order to show an employee how to do so properly.
"CEOs have to get into the mix sometimes," McMahon said.
Following her address, McMahon toured City Machine Technologies, Inc., a Youngstown-based industrial machine maintenance facility that repairs electric motors, generators, steel mills and power plants.
"This is what America's about," said McMahon. "Small businesses doing hard work."
She said President Trump is very dedicated to helping grow skills needed to work at places like City Machine Technologies, Inc. McMahon said it is important to use vocational and technical education opportunities.
"We need to train workers," said McMahon. "Those jobs are ready."
Owner Mike Kovach, who displayed an industrial magnet at the White House's Made in America showcase last month, said he received SBA support to start his business in the 1980s.
"To say the SBA was a part of our success would be an understatement," said Kovach.
In the wake of the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Kovach said he increased wages. With 65 employees, Kovach said he is looking for 20 more hires.
But finding those new employees may prove to be a challenge. Kovach said at least 50 percent of new employees fail drug tests.
"We need good skilled people," said Kovach. "But we definitely need to get youth to stop using marijuana and other drugs."
