Much of e-learning (or learning assisted with some technology) is moving towards social-networks. Platforms like Elgg that allow the integration of many of the new social-networking tools and technologies that allow building communities: FOAF, RSS/Atom, Blogging, etc. Such connection-based networks are finding increasing levels of adoption from users because they are largely informal and allow the users to build communities that aid their "learning" on their terms.

CASTLETON, Vt. – The nation's top-ranked pitching staff allowed just three hits over 14.0 scoreless innings, as the Castleton baseball team earned a pair of shutout victories over Thomas, 7-0 and 8-0, in a North Atlantic Conference doubleheader Sunday afternoon at Spartan Field. With the wins, the Spartans secured a season sweep of the Terriers to improve to 14-2 in NAC play and 23-6 overall. Thomas, meanwhile, fell to 3-15 in conference action and 3-29 overall.
Castleton 7, Thomas 0
The Spartan pitching staff, which ranks No. 1 in the country with a 2.09 ERA, was anchored by Michael LaBeau in the opener. The senior allowed two hits with seven strikeouts over 7.0 shutout innings to earn his third consecutive complete-game victory.
Castleton jumped out to an early 2-0 lead when Jonathan Lindau laced a two-RBI double in the home half of the first. Davis Mikell and Zach Bahan scored on the hit, who earlier reached base via walk and hit-by-pitch. The Spartans tacked on another run in the second, with Josh Rylant and Dylan Bailey working a double steal to perfection.
The game remained 3-0 until the Spartans broke it open with a four-spot in the bottom of the fifth. Bahan and Mikell each singled to start the inning, before Lindau was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Matt Jackson and Mitchell Caron started the merry-go-round with a pair of bases-loaded walks, before back-to-back sacrifice flies from Bailey and Rylant extended the Spartan lead to 7-0.
LaBeau was in cruise control through the final two innings, capping off his complete game with three groundouts in the seventh to secure the 7-0 victory.
LaBeau has now allowed one earned run over his last three starts, spanning 22.0 innings. In four conference starts on the season, LaBeau is 4-0 with four complete games, 22 strikeouts, and just two earned runs over 29.0 innings.
Bahan collected two hits and scored two runs on his way to a 2-for-3 performance at the plate. The bottom five in the order all produced an RBI, with Lindau leading the way with two on his first-inning two-bagger.
Brandon Hubbard shouldered the loss on the mound for Thomas, falling to 0-6 on the season with seven earned runs over 4.0 innings pitched. He struck out three, walked four, and scattered seven hits.
Castleton 8, Thomas 0
Luke Salerno was masterful on the mound in the nightcap, pitching a complete-game, one-hit shutout. A first-inning double was the only hit he allowed in the contest, as he retired 13 straight batters and faced the minimum the rest of the way. The only other Terrier to reach base, via walk, was doubled off on a lineout in the top of the sixth. The senior struck out a season-high 10 batters to improve to 5-0 on the season.
The Spartan offense took the wind out the Terriers' sails with runs in each of the first four frames. Rylant capped off a two-run first inning with a two-out, two-RBI single up the middle to give the Spartans an early lead.
The first three batters to come up in the bottom of the second reached base, and they all scored to extend the Spartan lead to 5-0. Bailey led off with his team-leading 10th double of the season, before Nick Patierne walked and Deagan Poland singled to load the bases. Dillon Benham drove in Bailey on an RBI-single up the middle and Bahan followed with a sacrifice fly to center. Mikell capped off the three-run second with an RBI-groundout.
After Caron worked a walk, stole second and advanced to third on a wayward throw by the catcher, he scored on a wild pitch one batter later in the bottom of the third. The Spartans delivered the final blow in the bottom of the fourth, as Bahan drilled a two-RBI single to left field to cap off the scoring in game two.
Salerno worked a perfect fifth and sixth inning, before putting a stamp on the best start of his career by striking out the side in the seventh.
Four Spartans recorded two hits in the contest. Bahan went 2-for-3 with three RBI, while Poland and Benham each went 2-for-3 with two runs scored.
Thomas starter Jonah Gorgone took the loss on the mound, allowing five runs on six hits over 2.0 innings. Jaicob Flores was tagged for two runs on three hits in an inning of relief, while Payton Kennison, Thomas Paola, and Ryan Jurgiewich each worked a scoreless inning out of the bullpen for the Terriers.
Castleton will continue its trek through the NAC with a home-and-home series against fourth-place Lyndon State. The Spartans will first travel to play the Hornets in a doubleheader Tuesday starting at 2 p.m.

Effective Healthy Eating
A lot of people sabotage their own diets. They know what they should be eating and they do eat those foods, but they don't often eat them properly or in the right quantities. They may feel they are doing right by their diet and themselves, but they are actually cheating in lots of small ways, and it isn't allowing them to achieve the results they want.
The Sin of the Sauce
It's mostly sauces and toppings where most people mess up their diets. They may have a salad, but then they pile on grated cheese, salad dressing, croutons and even meats. This turns the salad from a healthy food into something else entirely. It's not that these additions to the salad cannot be included in the diet in small portions so that they cannot be consumed in a healthy way, but a lot of people assume that because they are having the salad, they are able to do what they want to with it and still reap the rewards.
This applies to meats as well. People on a diet may know they need to stick to lean meats and eat cuts that have little to no fat, but then they put steak sauce or ketchup on their beef, gravy on their turkey and barbecue sauce ion their chicken.
All these sauces do have healthy variations, but that's not what most people are going for. It's okay to have sauce on your foods, but if you really want to stick to a healthy diet, you either need to use them sparingly or find healthier alternatives that have less fat and sugar. Fat-free sauces, skim toppings and "no sugar added" condiments can be great substitutes.
Cooking out the Nutrients
Another common mistake is to cook everything. You definitely don't want to fry up your vegetables or fruits if you are going for a healthy meal. Even using low fat or healthy oils can make frying a bit easier on your diet, but cooking these nutrient-rich foods at all deprives them of a lot of their value.
Instead of boiling carrots, broccoli, potatoes and other vegetables, it is always better to allow them to be eaten in their natural state. This preserves their nutrients and makes them much more beneficial to you. Remember that healthy eating isn't just about cutting out fat and sugar where possible but also about getting the requisite vitamins and minerals that your body needs. That will allow you to exercise more vigorously and feel more energized, which of course gives you what you need to be healthy and fit.
Don't Sabotage Your Diet
When it comes to dieting, you are your own worst enemy. It is you who decides what you eat and at what time you eat. You pick the portions and you choose where you will go to buy your food. You can choose between the fast food restaurant and a home-cooked meal. You can choose the full fat or sugar free varieties. You decide whether to super-size your meal, and you decide what you buy for your groceries each month.
If you are conscious of what is good and bad for you and what you are doing to yourself, then you can take more control. But knowing is only part of the battle. You also have to exercise control in your diet. No one else can do it for you, so you will have to take the initiative and be watchful at every meal. but don't; just watch the meals. You can ruin a diet on snack alone, as many people do. They allow themselves room to cheat, and that room gets bigger and bigger each time they cheat.
It helps to know your limits. If you are going to be tempted by salad dressing, sugar, sauces and snacks, just don't add them to your groceries. Write out your grocery list at home, when you are not hungry. Go shopping when you are not hungry and stick to your list. Then you will remove a lot of the temptation that drag you down and kill your diet.
Just because you eat healthy foods, that does not mean you are eating them in the healthiest way possible, so try to be aware of that.

So before I begin, I did not have the stomach flu this week…but my poor companion did. 😦 We aren't sure how she got it–because we eat the same things and do the same things, but she got it..and she got it pretty bad. We spent 3 days of our week inside while she was sick, (and I think she spent most of that time in the bathroom). For me, it was a good time to serve and help my companion, as well as do lots of the seemingly monotonous aspects of missionary work that often get procrastinated (such as organizing our member book, updating addresses and phone numbers, then adding addresses and bus routes into our phone). It may not seem like much, but I was busy doing a lot of those things for three days and I didn't even finish!! It was good though to have something to do, and now Sister T is completely better so that is the best thing!
Our miracle happened this week as we went to visit a lady that has been less-active for quite some time. I hadn't met her before this, but I know that lots of missionaries have met with her and there hasn't been much progress made. As soon as I met her, I just felt this giant love for her, and I knew that it wasn't just my love, but God's love for her, too. We had planned to teach a different lesson than planned, but because of time, we decided just to share a good scripture–2 Nephi 31:19-20.
19 And now, my beloved brethren, after ye have gotten into this strait and narrow path, I would ask if all is done? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; for ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ with unshaken faith in him, relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to save.
20 Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.
We read that together and talked about the importance of enduring to the end–how it can be difficult, but the blessings in store for us outweigh any of the difficulties we might face. We were talking about this, and she was nodding her head, but we weren't sure if she was really taking it in. As we were about to finish, I felt really strongly that I should testify about something. The Spirit didn't tell me what I needed to testify about, but I knew I had to.
The one thing I knew absolutely at that moment was that God loved her. It seemed so simple, but I told her that God loved her and I knew that from as soon as I met her. After that, she began to open up to us about how she felt like a bad daughter to our Father in Heaven because she hadn't been enduring to the end and doing the things He wanted her to do. She said she didn't know if God loved her.
Sister T and I were able to testify that God loves her and that love is there for her whether she thinks she deserves it or not. We told her it's like a parent (like her, since she has kids). Even though her kids may not do everything she wants, she still loves them. She will be sad when her kids make a wrong choice, but she will still love them.
After we told her that, she, not us, decided to make goals to begin reading the scriptures and praying daily. It was such a miracle! After the lesson, we got out and prayed, thanking our Heavenly Father for allowing the Spirit to teach her and touch her heart to choose the right. It strengthened my testimony that the Spirit is the one that teaches and changes people…not us.
I'm excited to see what miracles happen this week! Missionary work is the best! I know it is truly the Lord's work and I love being a part of it!

New report: Carbon impacts of biomass consumed in the EU
The report was commissioned from Forest Research by the European Climate Foundation (ECF) to clarify the findings of a project undertaken by Forest Research for the European Commission (DG ENER), known as Carbon Impacts of Biomass Consumed in the EU, and referred to as the "Bioimpact Project".
The ECF asked Forest Research (FR) to use the insights gained from the Bioimpact Project to deliver, amongst other things, a Statement of Risk of EU Bioenergy Policy. FR concluded that "unless appropriate policy measures are taken to support sustainable bioenergy supply (in terms of impacts on GHG emissions), particularly in the case of forest bioenergy supply, a significant increase in bioenergy use in the EU is likely to lead to a net increase, rather than decrease, in GHG emissions being contributed from bioenergy sources.
Whilst such a conclusion is reasonable based on the project findings, it should be clarified that, strictly, the results should not be interpreted to imply that the increased use of bioenergy in the EU must inevitably involve increased GHG emissions. Rather, the results strongly indicate that there are significant risks of increases in GHG emissions associated with greater bioenergy use, in particular forest bioenergy use, unless there are appropriate checks and balances on the supply and consumption of bioenergy sources with regard to associated GHG emissions. The researchers developed a list of 15 detailed sustainability criteria that, together, can ensure bioenergy reduces GHG emissions. Mapped against the RED II, as originally proposed by the COM in 2016, FR found that the RED II makes no specific provisions for 9 out of the 15 recommended criteria. For 3 of the 15 recommended criteria the RED II might be expected to deliver some indirect, but non-specific, support. In 3 of the 13 recommended criteria, the RED will deliver a direct policy signal.
It is important that those countries seeking to implement the RED II are aware of the status and relevance of the sustainability criteria within the RED II. If EU bioenergy policy is to meet its stated goal of reducing GHGs, these criteria will need to be strengthened on national and EU level.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Caterpillar Inc. shares dropped more than 8% Monday after the heavy machinery giant announced 20,000 job cuts and posted a lower fourth-quarter profit that was slammed by higher operating costs and an unfavorable foreign-exchange rate.
The stock CAT, -0.85%, a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, finished down $2.99 at $32.67 and has now lost half its value in the past year.
The worst has yet to pass, according to Caterpillar, which cast a shadow on 2009, saying it looks to be the weakest year for economic growth in the postwar period.
The 18% reduction in its workforce is aimed at helping the company cope with the tighter credit markets and recession, which are expected to lead to a 25% decline in sales this year.
"These are very uncertain times, and it's imperative that we focus Team Caterpillar on dramatically reducing production schedules and costs in light of poor economic conditions throughout the world," Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jim Owens said. "While it's painful for our employees and suppliers, it's absolutely necessary given economic circumstances."
He added that he expects to have most of the cost-cutting and job reductions in place by the end of the first quarter.
As for the fourth quarter, the Peoria, Ill.-based company, known for its excavating and earth-moving machinery, handed in a profit of $661 million, or $1.08 a share, down 32% from $975 million, or $1.50 a share, in the year-earlier period.
Revenue rose 6% to $12.9 billion from $12.1 billion last year.
For 2009, Caterpillar forecast earnings of $2.50 a share, far below the Wall Street consensus of $4.35 a share, as provided by FactSet Research. Sales are expected to come in around $40 billion, plus or minus 10%, compared to nearly $45 billion expected by analysts, on average.
"The financial and banking crisis accelerated in the fourth quarter of 2008 and has significantly impacted economic growth in general and the industries that we serve around the globe," the company said in a statement.
Caterpillar said last month that it would slash executive compensation, suspend merit pay raises and offer voluntary separation packages to cope with deteriorating market conditions. And clearly the headwinds haven't eased since then. See full story.
Last week, CNH Global CNH, +1.02% kicked off what looks to be a rough earnings season for the sector when it painted a gloomy picture of 2009 and said the first quarter would be particularly challenging. The construction-equipment maker reported a drop in revenue on flat fourth-quarter earnings and warned of lower sales in the coming year.

I've just hit page 145 of my novel draft of my ghost story. I'm guessing there's another eighty pages to go, maybe. My protagonist has just lost a useful ally (and sort-of friend) but he has managed to almost-complete his errand in Pyongyang, after which he'll be free to go back South and figure out why he was brutally murdered. And now he can at least speak and understand a little Korean, too.
I'm pleased, and conservatively guessing I won't finish the draft before camp starts on Monday, but that I may well finish it the week after camp finishes, meaning during the last week of January, or perhaps even during camp if I can keep my energy up enough to write a few pages a day.
It'll need a redraft, but first I'll be asking people for feedback.

During the course of the trial, the specific term "Browser Hijack" was never considered by our defense team and I did no research on it. The closest I had ever come was when Alexa hijacked my search bar and it took me awhile to get it back to Google but I really had no experience with all the nasty stuff a browser hijack can do.
Globally, there have been cases of people tried for kiddie porn and apparently porn browsers are another accidental way to get kiddie porn that could be as big as US Government Honeypots. The About.com article on Browser Hijacking identifies the capabilities of Surfbar to include changing the home page, adding hundreds of porn page shortcuts to the favorites and desktop and adding a tool bar which adds dozens more. Of course the item which drives most of these sites are profit, but if you don't give them a dime they are not above dumping illegal crap on your computer.
In an excellent commentary at a geek forum on homepage hijacking by a porn site, master geek, Raybay states "We are talking about malware here….There is no reason to get into definitions" which "allows the hotshot virus people such as McAfee and Norton to limit what they protect you against." he goes on to say that the most popular protection for malware, Adaware and SpyBot, do not work on the top 9 infestations and of the 83 different spyware programs, 1/3 are actually vehicles to infect your machine with more garbage. As reported by the BBC and from an occasional CERT warning, even completely updated and virus protected machines are vulnerable to Browser Hijacks.
According to Raybay, he "sees many infesrations every week on people who do nothing more than Geneology, History, Current Events…and huge amounts from people who Download music…" His belief is that malware writers download porn so people who feel guilty will purchase more of their fake porn removal tools.
A scathing review of NetBrowserPro by Chris Boyd, Director of Malware Research for spywareguide.com, points out how deceptive these pitches for protection can be. In any given year, Internet Explore is open to attack about 2/3 of the time and even the alternate browser Firefox is vulnerable the equivalent of a couple of months a year. So your malware writer tries to convince you that their browser, the xxxbrowser is safest. In reality, its just another porn downloader.
I beginning to believe that it's far easier to get kiddie porn dumped on your machine than it is to find it on purpose. However there is still one obstical to using this as a defense at trial and that is the following:
According to security experts, no one ever went to a honeypot by accident.
After all, Femalesex.com offered me the choice of clicking on "Sexual Child Abuse." Obviously, my choice was not to click the link but to rip the code and print the page to prove it once existed. Everyone who stumbles into a honeypot has the right to do nothing illegal.
We already know this is not true. When you type in teens18.biz you get hit with a shitstorm of abusive kiddie porn pictures which enter your cache memory and spawn scores of new browsers with even more porn. Now even a religious zealot would have to take a long leap of faith to link TEENS18 to violent pedophilia. But as we see next post there are even more ways to accidentally trigger a honeypot attack on your machine and end up with a download of illegal kiddie porn.

In 2010, a few businesses - including an animal hospital, a dentist and others - decided to get together and challenge Yelp in court on the perceived understanding that Yelp alters business ratings in exchange for money. They filed several class actions against Yelp at this time - all of which were dismissed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on September 2, 2014.
Their ruling in this case, known as Levitt v. Yelp, was determined after examining the businesses' best facts through many attempts - and the court found no extortion or any other wrongdoing by Yelp. As explained in a blog post on the Yelp official site on September, 2, 2014, the "Court also dismissed as implausible some plaintiffs' claims that Yelp authored negative reviews about them as part of a plot to obtain ad dollars. Instead, the Court noted that the facts only showed that the reviews were likely from actual customers". Additionally, the Court noted that "Yelp is a forum for consumers to review businesses, and huge numbers of consumers do just that."
Why Yelp Matters
As a small business owner, there is always concern over what your reputation is and Yelp has certainly positioned themselves as a leader in identifying consumer thoughts and experiences while featuring businesses to help educate consumers on where to go, what to do and who to spend their money with.
Darnell Holloway, Yelp's Senior Manager of Local Business Outreach, shares the below insight on why business owners need to use Yelp.
"If you own a business, there are three key reasons why you need to be on Yelp for Business Owners:
With 138 million people on Yelp each month, it's hard to argue that Yelp isn't a destination to have your business represented - especially when 4 out of 5 of these visitors are preparing to spend money. And while not every review will be favorable for every business owner represented on Yelp, what they can trust is that Yelp is connecting businesses to consumers - something most small business owners can't do alone. And when you consider the value loss Yelp would put themselves in if they were to alter their online reviews, you can assume they would never do this since Yelp's platform for reviews to be shared is build around the idea of trust. Or at least now you can... after a court proved so.

新年快乐! 我不是新年决心迷,可是有的年我做决心。三年以前我退出了咖啡因。几年以前在工作我经常正常喝了咖啡。因为周末我不喝了咖啡,星期天我平常有了头疼。退出咖啡因以后我少有了头疼。
Another semester, another Chinese class. This semester at IUPUI I'm taking EALC-C 301, Third Year Chinese 1. Classes started last week and I can already tell the class is going to be interesting. This is the first Chinese class I've had where I feel like I'm in the bottom-half of the class. Granted, it's a small class, with only seven students, but some of the students have set a high bar. Two students are Chinese, so I'm not sure why they're taking the class. Maybe they hope to test out of it. Another student taught English in China for a year. I'm under the impression he hasn't been there for awhile, but he definitely has more practice.
Still, I'm resolved that the high bar isn't insurmountable. I just have to work harder.
A Chinese coworker, who's always good for telling me different chengyu (成语), told me about a saying of Mao that appears in classrooms over there:
Hǎohāo xuéxí, tiāntiān xiàngshàng.
Study well, make progress everyday.
I take it to mean I should study everyday, including weekends, to make progress. To help me in my Chinese studies, I've also bought a year-long Chinese course from Transparent language. I'll let you know how it goes.
We just started working on Chapter 19 of Integrated Chinese last week, and part of the homework had us practicing the phrase 不得了 (bùdéliǎo), which means extremely or exceedingly. It usually follows this pattern:
noun + adjective + 得 + 不得了。
Noun is extremely adjective.
Nuówēi lěng de bùdéliǎo.
Norway is extremely cold.
Lǐ Yǒu yònggōng de bùdéliǎo.
Li You is extremely hardworking.
This sentence pattern is very useful. In fact, I've even been able to use it with one of my coworkers. If they receive a suspicious email, I encourage the users I support to send the email to me to see if it is legitimate or if it's a scam. This morning, a 中国人 coworker sent me an email that was suspicious, and I replied:
I think it's extremely bad.
Maybe it's overkill to describe a spam email, but it was a good chance to practice, and she complimented my Chinese 🙂
In Chapter 18 of Integrated Chinese, Dialogue II has a section which describes the duration of an action, and it shows two sentence formulas for it. One of the examples they give is:
She listens to recordings for an hour everyday.
Both of the Chinese sentences say they same thing in slightly different ways. The first one uses verb repetition, and the formula is something like:
Subj + (how often) + verb + object + verb + (how long).
The second sentence doesn't repeat the verb, but does put a duration of time between the verb and the object. Its formula is something like:
Subj + (how often) + verb + (how long) + (的) + object.
De (的) is apparently optional in the second type of sentence. Our teacher didn't have much of an explanation for it, other than saying that it sometimes sounds right, and sometimes doesn't. I guess that is something that comes with experience.
Now for some practice sentences of my own.
I walk for an hour and a half every day.
I review Chinese for 30 minutes every day.
Wang Peng plays basketball for two hours every Saturday.
Li You studies Chinese for twelve hours every weekend.
Verbs are kind of tricky in Chinese, because there are verbs and there are verb-objects. They are tricky because while some verbs are only one character, some are two characters, which means they can get confused with verb-objects, which will always have at least two characters. I guess it's another one of those things where it will become easier to understand after I've learned more.
I have a test in Chinese class later today, so this post and the next are a couple of things the teacher told us will be on the test.
Chapter 18 of Integrated Chinese*, page 231 (运动 – Sports), the Dialogue I section describes the
following formula:
Time expression + 没 + Verb (+ 了)
It's used to describe an activity that hasn't been performed for a certain amount of time. They have several examples, one of which is:
He hasn't gone online for three days.
On Page 232 it offers a counter example, showing how long something has been happening:
I have studied the Chinese language for two years.
Really? I haven't studied the Chinese language for two years.
The point of these practice exercises is for me to come up with come of my own sentences using the formula they described, so mine are below.
I haven't studied French for five years.
I haven't drunk coffee for the past day.
It hasn't snowed for a week.
I haven't been to Norway for two years.
Gao Wenzhong hasn't called Bai Ying-ai for four days.
* Integrated Chinese, Level 1, Part 2, Third Edition
This morning I was awoken by a fire alarm. Today is Sunday, so I wanted to sleep in. However, I heard people talking in the hallway outside my apartment, and I smelled smoke. I got up, put on some shoes and a winter jacket, grabbed my cell phone, and went outside. I saw many firemen. My neighbor's apartment door was open. I knew I wouldn't be able go back inside for awhile, so I walked to Starbucks.
学习中文我觉得我可以放假中国,可是我不知道哪里。我有一些中国人同事,一些从北京,和一位从吉林。我也有一位老师从广州和一位从四川。中国有很多地方,我不可以决定。有的时候我想去北京,深圳,广东,香港, 和台北。
我想一个中文俱乐部是很念。学生们可以听说中文,聊天中文问题, 和互助学习。
One of the things I've struggled with in Chinese is finding Chinese songs I find interesting. Most of it is just pop music. It's OK (no pun intended), but it's usually not very interesting. There are a lot of ballads (boring), but some dance songs which are at least more energetic. What I've been trying to find is Chinese rockers and rappers. Who are the Chinese equivalents of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, or The Clash? Are there punk rockers who sing in Chinese?
Yesterday, I found a website (www.chinese-forums.com) and there was a thread in there about Chinese rock music. One of the posts linked to a Chinese rock video on YouTube, and I found the video above in the Related Videos section.
I can pick out phrases here and there, but nothing more. I've found the lyrics somewhere else on the web, so I'll probably go over them and try to figure out what they mean. Musically, she reminds me a bit of MIA.

Green is one of those colors that's easy to crush on because it's so versatile, timeless, and trendy. As such, it's no surprise our Notion Appletini fabric is a favorite choice for Joybird furniture.
Green is an enduring color in the world of home decor. A favorite in colonial design, prevalent through the Victorian era, cropping up again in mid-century stylings, and maintaining its prominence through today, shades of emerald, lime, avocado, and grass are commonly seen in paint colors, wallpapers, and upholstery. The reoccurrence of this shade is a testament to it's versatility and timelessness. When it comes to designing a space, green is one of those hues that seems to please everyone. Depending on how you style it, green can be sophisticated, edgy, reserved, or playful – its really up to you!
The best thing about a rich green shade like our own Notion Appletini, is that it provides a bright pop of color to your space without seeming too bold or over the top. It almost serves as a colorful neutral – a tone from which you can build your color palette by mixing with a wide variety of complementary and contrasting colors.
It works with citrus yellows and oranges if you want to create a bright, vibrant space. But it can also transform a room into a calm, natural-feeling sanctuary when paired with muted whites and browns. Pair it with blush pink for an instantly retro Palm Springs vibe, or jazz it up with rich jewel tones of purple and teal for a glamorous statement space.
It is also perhaps the best color when looking for a fabric that will transition well through the seasons – it's bright and cheery in spring, cool and relaxed in the summer, elegantly cozy come fall, and seasonally festive in the winter. This versatility makes Notion Appletini a safe choice for anyone on the fence about how colorful a sofa or chair they want. Neither too feminine, too masculine, too punchy, or boring, we think you'll find that Notion Appletini is always just right for any space.
Browse our customer gallery for a glimpse at even more gorgeous green stylings, and shop a few of our Notion Appletini favorites…

Second Drafts Are A Way Of Life

One of my Jams & Preserves entries for the Royal show is: Two products featuring apples. I'm not totally sure what I will enter just yet, so I have been experimenting a bit, this time I made apple butter. Never having made apple butter before I'm not exactly sure what it is supposed to be like. I followed a recipe from this book here and it seems to have worked all right, it does taste really nice, especially slathered on some hot, buttered toast.
The apple butter on toast didn't really appeal to this basking feline, I think all he was concerned about was whether or not the heater would be turned off any time soon, in which case he would have to move to somewhere warmer (the bed).

This is a special 3-part blog series focused on helping you better understand the best practices for identifying key drivers of your mainframe costs, using the most efficient technology available today.
Choosing a single flavor of ice cream on a hot day can be a tough choice, especially since there are so many choices. Finding ways to save on mainframe Monthly License Charges (MLC) can be even harder given how IBM charges for sub-capacity licensed software products and the complex nature of workloads running on the mainframe. IBM calculates the "peak" Rolling Four Hour Average (R4HA) of MSU utilization for a LPAR or combination of LPARs as the major charge factor when billing for MLC. Identifying work that can be rescheduled to run out of that peak, thus lowering the MSU count, can be a chore. What if the answer was a simple as Neapolitan ice cream?
Neapolitan ice cream contains three flavors in a single box. Comparing this to MLC, the box is your R4HA, and the ice cream is all of the workloads, or groupings of Jobs/STCs, which contribute to the hourly MSU count. Jobs/STCs have a MSU volume that contributes to the hourly MSU count and once the peak R4HA is identified, a cost can be associated to each of them. So the question really becomes are Jobs/STCs running in the peak R4HA worth what you are paying for them?
In my household, a box of Neapolitan ice cream would mysteriously be emptied by preference; chocolate first, followed by vanilla, and lastly strawberry. In the world of Jobs/STCs, the importance levels defined in the WLM service classifications frequently have very little bearing on if they can be rescheduled or not, tending to be more of a factor of SLA's and dependencies. Movability coupled with cost makes it much clearer which would be more appetizing than others to reschedule from a cost savings standpoint. If we equate the workloads (Jobs/STCs) into ice cream flavors we have:
- Strawberry – least likely to be moved, very little value
- Vanilla – possible but not the first choice to move, somewhat valuable
- Chocolate – easiest to move, most valuable
Obviously the Chocolate Jobs/STC would be the first place to look, but don't be surprised if additional cost savings are found in the other flavors. This type of classification requires understanding, at a detailed level, what specific jobs/STCs are running in the peak, their cost-savings potential, and feasibility of rescheduling. The technical and business teams should work together to identify the Jobs/STCs to target and take scoop out of the peak R4HA!

- Hello again. However, not this time from Canada but from sunny old England. Yes, you read right, I've returned back home. In fact I've been back at home for just over a month and trying to adapt to life back with the family.
The past month has flown by and I've been reticent to write a blog because it means contemplating that my Canadian adventure and amazing year away has come to a close. The past few weeks have been a mad assortment of visiting relatives, catching up with friends and eating my favourite foods I had missed.
Looking through my suitcase and the items I had brought back provided a snapshot of the differing experiences I have had whilst on exchange in Kingston. The random collection as follows:
- My paint and mud-splattered coveralls – basically mechanic-like overalls saturated in bright coloured paint and mud stains from the mini-Olympics I took part in during Frosh Week. reverting to a little kid was so much fun with around 100 other exchange students.
- Suncream- a reminder of the temperatures when I first arrived of plus 28 degrees and lazing on the grass by Lake Ontario, and being part of a scene from an American High school programme where all the students hang out in bikinis and trunks, swimming in the lake and playing music loudly- surreal
- Canada Goose Coat, a vey very wooly hat and mittens lined with wool that look like oven gloves – A reminder of the FREEZING cold temperatures (down to minus 40) that meant I needed to be bundled up like a very bundled up thing. Trudging through the 4ft high snow to get to class and seeing people wearing balaclavas as a daily necessity.
- Pumpkin seed butter and sunflower seed butter – oh how I love this stuff! An ode to the many new foods I tried in Canada. My first impressions of Canadian cuisine were disappointing to say the least. There didn't seem to be many new things to try my tastebuds with, how wrong I was. Needless to say my Canadian stay became a mini culinary experience in trying new fruits, veg and random products. Beef jerky anybody?! Kabocha Squashes, goji berries and pancakes drizzled with maple syrup to name a few.
- A First-nation dream-catcher – a reminder of my travels to Quebec City and the products made by the First-nation people of Canada and a reminder of the history that Canada does have despite being a young country.
- 2 pens decorated with images from Australia – given to me by my Australian friend Rabia who was on exchange for the Winter term (first term) at Queen's. She exemplifies the great people I have met and will keep in contact with.
- The Queen's university flag – students are proud of their uni and rightly so, the flag now takes pride of place in my room. The flag functions as a reminder of the camaraderie between students and the relaxed atmosphere.
- Books, books and more books – the heavy proportion of my suitcase was filled with books from my course and notes – detailing the hard work and way in which my brain has been seriously bent and challenged over the year. Studying abroad was by no means an easy option but definitely an enjoyable one (even if at times I wanted to tear my hair out!)
- A wooden photo album embossed with a maple leaf – given to me by my Canadian housemate Shira as a leaving gift to add my photos to. I have far too many to fit into the album, however.
- A black beret with a bright orange pom-pom, trimmed with orange and yellow tartan – the height of fashion! I could maybe start a new trend back in Edinburgh with this, more likely not though. The "Tam" as the hat is called is integral to your inauguration into Queen's life. Each new student receives a tam which is worn with pride at every sporting event or university service.
- A comforter – a blanket/duvet -like pillowy creation that goes on your bed and over the top of a sheet – a reminder of my first few days in Canada trying to sort everything out and buying the essentials.
- tickets from ice-hockey matches, baseball-games, the "Maid of the Mist" at Niagra Falls, plays, laser-tagging, trips to Quebec, the maple syrup bush etc. – just a few of the varied activities I have taken part in this year.
The odd collection of bits and bobs sums up my eclectic experience in Kingston. Unpacking was hard but I've left some of my things in the case ready to escape back to Canada at a moments notice (wishful thinking!) It's good to be home but I've left my heart in Kingston!

According to the Army Values, the definition of integrity is to do what's right, legally and morally. It continues to say that integrity is a quality you develop by adhering to moral principles and that it requires that you do and say nothing that deceives others. Integrity is something that is instilled in us in the beginning of basic training. As we grow in our military career, we learn that all Army values, including integrity still apply during off-duty hours and when not in uniform. We are Soldiers always; twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Integrity is not solely based upon the actions of an …show more content… As a Supply Sergeant, I work directly for the Commander maintaining and managing the various property books. Every piece of equipment and its components are required in order to complete the various missions of my unit. The Commander is overall responsible for the equipment but delegates to me the task of ensuring all items are properly accounted for and maintained at the lowest level. The Commander has to trust that I am able to fulfill the responsibilities inherit in my role as the Supply Sergeant. Even if I fail to do my job, the Commander is greatly affected and both of our jobs become more difficult. The Commander would then begin to micromanage the Supply section as a whole to ensure his property is being taken care of. I don't like to be micromanaged and know that I am more than capable of doing my job well so that makes for a tense professional relationship between the Commander and I. Hostile work environments, regardless whether mine or not, are unhealthy and cause added stress. In addition, if the Commander does not trust that I am capable of fulfilling my duties as his Supply Sergeant, I could be removed from my position. Removal from my current position would result in a negative NCOER and would also damage my professional reputation. What Commander would want a Supply Sergeant that was unable to successfully do their job at a unit working for them? My own personal definition of integrity would be that it should go hand-in-hand with Show More

Are you a mom of boy or boys? Finding it difficult to strengthen your bond with your child? Here are seven simple ways to strengthen the bond you have with your son
You may not know all there is to know about Spiderman, but you can still be the coolest mom in your son's eyes. Many moms worry that they can't build a strong and lasting bond with their sons as they might with their daughters, but this simply isn't true. Boys often want to connect more with their moms because they look up to them as role models and heroes.
It may not seem like sons with strong relationships to their mothers are any different than other boys, but studies show there are many benefits to strong mother-son bonds. Boys that are close to their mothers often have an easier time adjusting as they grow up, they excel in school, experience less anxiety, and often stay out of trouble. Don't these benefits sound too good to pass up?
So, how do you live up to your son's idea of a hero? No, you don't have to dress up as Spiderman or buy him ice cream every night, you can do some other simple things to spend more time with your son and be more involved in his interests. There are some simple ways to increase the bond you have with your son.
1. Be The One He Feels Comfortable Talking To:
As our sons grow up, they always have more questions than we thought possible. One way you can encourage your son to come to you when he needs someone to talk to is by answering his questions honestly and thoroughly. This may even mean you explain to your son why he may not be ready to learn about certain things in life. Make sure you take the time to listen to your son.
If you start building trust with your son when he's young, he'll feel more comfortable coming to you as he gets older. As moms, sometimes we just deliver information in a softer, more patient way. Let this be what your son comes to you for, and you won't regret it.
2. Become a Team Parent:
If your son brings his football wherever he goes, you may want to consider engaging him through his interest without the pressure of being a coach or assistant coach. You can be part of your child's team by becoming the team parent or team manager. This will ensure you see all of his games and cheer him along every time he steps onto the field.
You can even enjoy some travel with your son if his team competes in tournaments. As team mom, you can research and book some of the most exciting tournaments. Find fun things to do nearby the tournament venue and encourage team bonding through outings.
3. Share Your Memories With Him:
Kids love to learn about their parents. This is even more exciting when they learn their mom used to be a silly kid just like them. Sharing your favorite childhood memories with your son will help him see you through a different lens. It will encourage him to think of you as a human which will remind him that nobody is perfect and that even you messed up from time to time.
4. Don't Be Afraid to Be Silly:
It can be hard to find the time to just let loose and let go of being a model parent, but you should! When you let down your guard and have a pillow fight with your little one, you are creating memories that will last into his adulthood. So, don't hesitate to get messy, muddy, and even jump on the bed.
Sometimes we think too much about the laundry and taking out the trash to remember that some fun and irresponsibility are acceptable. Finding the time to release some of your energy will show your son that he's a priority in your life.
5. Teach Him to Cook:
The days of mom cooking every meal and sons having a wife that will prepare dinner every night are gone. Many great chefs begin cooking alongside their grandmas and moms. Let this be a special way to bond with your son. Cooking with your son is a great way to bond when you have household obligations you have to do.
Your son will appreciate that he can cook as he grows up and can share the love of food with his own family.
6. Embrace His Boyish Habits:
You may not love that your son comes home with a new scrape or bruise every day, but don't fuss over the small boyish things he gets into. This may mean that it's okay for his room to smell like socks and grass from time to time. By not sweating the small stuff, you're telling your son that it's okay to be who he is and enjoy what he likes to do.
You may even want to partake in a good game of tag or hide and seek on a Thursday evening. You can even earn a few scrapes along the way, but you will surely gain some memories and smile more than you thought possible.
7. Plan a Mother-Son Outing:
If you go shopping with your daughter, find a special outing or adventure to take your son on. You can try playing laser tag or go on a mini fishing trip. You will learn so much about your son by giving him his own special time where he's your center of attention. You can even let him plan an outing to see how creative he can be.
Next time you see your son, give him a huge hug and ask him about your day. Taking the time to bond with your son will enrich your life as a mom and provide your little one with a strong support system. If you need even more encouragement to start building that long-lasting bond with your son, check out these amazing mother-son quotes!
As moms, we have a big responsibility to keep our kids happy and safe, but don't forget to have fun while doing it. Bonding with your son will help him grow into a well-balanced and successful young man and eventually a strong adult and father.

Social Skills
Individuals on the autism spectrum, by definition, exhibit challenges in both understanding and participating in meaningful social interaction. Impairments in social functioning include: initiating and responding to social interaction, engaging in joint attention and sharing enjoyment with others, understanding and demonstrating non-verbal social communication i.e. the "unwritten rules" of social interactions. These difficulties are often compounded by the communication deficits seen in students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Students with ASD also have difficulty in an area termed Theory of Mind, defined by Uta Frith (1989) as "the ability to predict relationships between external states of affairs and internal states of mind". This results in difficulty making inferences about another person's state of mind (their beliefs, intentions, emotions, imagination) and to interact based on those inferences. This is often referred to as "mindblindness". The emergence of some level of awareness of mental states occurs typically at age 3-4. Children with autism lack the early foundations of social cognition and awareness, which in turn impacts social communication, social play, and imagination.
It may seem that students with ASD lack interest in social interaction. In fact, our students do want to have social contact and interaction but lack the skills due in part to the impairments just discussed. Some students may actively seek interaction but in ways considered unusual or inappropriate by others. Therefore, our students need a carefully planned and individualized social skills program. Specific teaching strategies and interventions are chosen based on the individual profile and observed social needs of the student. There are many well-documented intervention strategies from which to choose. These videos will offer brief examples selected from a wide range of social interventions.

(This is part of a special series on Hawkeye Olympic medalists.)
Our next Hawkeye medalist is Frank Cuhel, a speedy hurdler who raced to fame in 1928.
Frank Cuhel
Frank Cuhel was born in Cedar Rapids in 1904. He was a track star at Cedar Rapids Washington High School, setting a high school national record in 1924 in the 220-yard low hurdles at a meet held at Iowa Field. The highly touted prep star decided to keep running at Iowa Field by joining the Hawkeyes after graduation. He began his eligibility as a sophomore in 1926, and he participated in football and track. Cuhel actually lettered for the Hawkeye football team twice, in 1926 and 1927. But his real fame came on the track.
Cuhel made an immediate impact as a sophomore in 1926, finishing sixth in the 220-yard low hurdles at the NCAA championships. He improved upon that finish as a junior, placing second in the national championship meet in both the 220-yard low hurdles and the 120-yard high hurdles.
By his senior season, Cuhel had reached his athletic peak. In June 1928, he went to the national championship meet at Soldier Field in Chicago. Not only did Cuhel win the NCAA championship in the 220-yard low hurdles, he had an NCAA record time in the event. That same month, he beat the world record time in the 400-meter low hurdles during a practice run, which gave him confidence going into the 1928 Olympics.
The 1928 Olympics
Frank Cuhel faced a real challenge at the 1928 Olympic Games. At the USA National Trials, he qualified for the Olympics by running the 400-meter hurdles in 52.1 seconds, which was better than the world record at the time. Unfortunately for Cuhel, it was only good enough for second place at the meet. Frederick Morgan Taylor bested both the world record and Cuhel at the National Trials, finishing in 52.0 seconds.
Cuhel and Taylor both went to Amsterdam for the 1928 Olympics, and Taylor was a heavy favorite in the 400-meter low hurdles. Taylor was the defending champion in the event, having won gold at the 1924 Olympics in Paris. Another runner to watch was Great Britain's David Lord Burghley. As a college student, Burghley's fame spread across the UK after he sprinted around the Great Court at Trinity College within the time it took the campus clock to strike 12 o'clock. His feat became such a legend that it inspired a similar scene in the movie Chariots of Fire.
In the 400-meter low hurdles final at the 1928 Olympics, Burghley pulled the upset, outrunning the heavily favored Morgan Taylor for the gold medal. Finishing just 0.2 seconds behind, and just ahead of fellow countryman Taylor, was Frank Cuhel, securing the silver medal for the USA.
Cuhel became so popular in the Netherlands after his silver medal performance that he was hired by several Dutch firms to serve as a business envoy overseeing their exports to the United States. His business ventures eventually led him to Java, where he later joined Mutual Broadcasting Systems to serve as a war correspondent when World War II broke out. Cuhel relayed radio reports of actions or other newsworthy items back to the United States. He soon had to flee Java, escaping the Japanese invasion there by mere hours.
In 1943, he was being transferred from the Pacific to the North African war zone, where he could continue his war correspondence. Tragically, his plane, the "Yankee Clipper", crashed into the Tagus River just outside Lisbon, Portugal, on February 22, 1943. Although there were 15 survivors (including actress Jane Froman), twenty-four passengers were killed. One of those 24 fatalities was Cuhel, whose body was found three weeks later. Frank Cuhel was 38 years old.
Fifty years after his death, Cuhel was inducted into the University of Iowa Hall of Fame. It's a worthy tribute for a man who brought so much pride to Iowa in 1928.

our first christmas in our new home yay! really can't believe we're here and doing this! so yesterday we put our tree up and Rue was just so so excited! this is the first year when he understands about Father Christmas and its such a joy to watch (although trying to explain how the advent calendars work fifty times a day is a bit exhausting!)
i took a mini time lapse of WM putting the tree up and Rue and I decorating it, we did this last year too. i tried to take some photos but we didn't start decorating until 4pm and you all know what i'm going to say …. theres just no daylight then plus our lounge is really long so the middle bit is darker as its further from the window. so yes the quality isn't printable but still perfect for adding to here for us to look back at, last years decorating the tree post is HERE – when Ridley was still in my tummy!
as WM was putting up the tree we both looked at each other and said we definitely need a bigger tree next year, this tree was perfect for our last home but now we have more space the tree looks a bit diddy. We're still keep it and maybe put it in our huge hallway ♥

Ranbir Kapoor is said to be quite choosy when it comes to signing his films but everyone tends to make mistakes sometimes. Check out this list of Movies Rejected by Ranbir Kapoor and decide for yourself whether he missed out on some good ones or made the right choice?
1. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
Zoya Akhtar wanted Imran Khan and Ranbir Kapoor to play the roles of Abhay Deol and Hrithik Roshan respectively but things did not work out (maybe for the better!)
2. Delhi Belly
This Aamir Khan production is one of the few hits given out by Imran Khan but the movie was initially offered to Ranbir Kappor!
3. 2 States
You would be surprised to know that Arjun Kapoor's role was first offered to Saif Ali Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and then to Ranbir Kapoor. Thankfully, we will get to see Ranbir and Alia together in Ayan Mukherji's Dragon.
4. Phantom
Kabir Khan wanted Ranbir Kapoor to play the lead in his action flick plus he had Katrina Kaif roped in as the female lead. But things did not seem right to Ranbir Kapoor.
5. Bang Bang
This was the second movie offered to Ranbir that gave him a chance to work with then girlfriend Katrina Kaif but he refused it anyways.
6. Fitoor
Sushant Singh Rajput rejected his mentor Abhishek Kapur's Fitoor and the movie was also refused by Ranbir. But both of them definitely made a wiser decision.
7. Dil Dhadakne Do
Ranbir Kapoor let go not one but two chances of working with Zoya Akhtar. He was also offered the role later played by Ranveer Singh in the movie.
8. Dilwale
Not many actors would have liked to miss out on a chance to work with Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol at the same time but Ranbir passed it on to Varun Dhawan.
In your opinion, which of these are the worst choices among all the movies rejected by Ranbir Kapoor? Tell us below in the comments section.

This week, Dave is as absent as Manchester United's defence (though not as missed) as Leicester come back to win 5-3, while Chelsea's defences get unlocked from the inside (sort of) in a 1-1 draw with Manchester City. Liverpool continue their impressive run of playing terribly, while Ozil and Arsenal end theirs. It's all here and with or without Dave, it's still rubbish. Enjoy!

Outdoor stain fence and cabana project
Decks review in Toronto
Lince's painting team had painted our entire 2-storey house a few years back and did an incredible job. Clean, professional and timely. Of course when we had our backyard project almost complete, it was no question we would have Lince's painting back to make our backyard special. We needed an 8 yr old wood fence, a brand new wood fence and a cabana stained for protection, but also for design, Lince's helped us pick a dramatic look using 'teak' for the fence a 'wrought iron' colours for the cabana. Stunning! and I would recommend services.
