A Place for Everything...
Over the past five weeks I've worked in a year 4 class full time. One of the things that is ongoing learning for me is the way learning and teaching is organised. Not just for my own sanity but so students feel like they have some control over their own learning.
One of the ways I do this is to have a digital home. I find it useful for organising learning and attempted to implement this into the class I worked with. While classroom blogs are great for this, I find a classroom site especially one built with the new Google Sites or similar easy to use platforms the best option.
HomepageThe buttons on the homepage or entry point for the site were links to those pages we accessed everyday and provided a more visual reference for those students that found navigating by words alone difficult. We had a group of international students visiting the classroom so a link to Google Translate for them and for the students helping them in the classroom proved really useful. This page also included links to the timetable and ready to learn pages of the site.
Those students that wanted to look ahead at what was happening in the week found having access to the timetable great. Although with the inevitable changes in a normal school week this wasn't always the most up to date. So the timetable site came with a bit of a disclaimer in the last few weeks that it wasn't always the most up to date. At this point in time I still find it easier to have a printed copy of planning to cross out, jot down group notes and make changes to rather than on the digital copy... I'm working on a digital solution for this though to ensure students also get access to that information. I've yet to find a setup that I like more than pen and paper but watch this space :).
I think if I design another site I'll add the buttons to the top of every page as they were really useful for students that found picture navigation easier than using the top menu navigation.
|Ready to Learn Page
Ready to Learn
The ready to learn page was the students first point of call and the one they jumped onto as soon as they entered the classroom in the morning. This included links to our class and team reminders, our monitors for the day and the start of day activities - Word study, Let's talk, Singing & Wondering.
The page also included links to get to our Grid Pals (Flip Grid class connection) grid and to get to anything that was specific to that week - like maths week.
|Bottom of Ready to Learn Page
Let's Talk
|Lets Talk Page
This part of the site was our oral language activities, students really enjoyed the difference to their traditional news book and it allowed a bit of variety in what we were talking about each morning. It also made it really easy to take advantage of news stories that weren't printed outside of school so things like our soft plastics recycling launch. I started implementing screencasts that read the days topic to students. I used Screencastify to do this. This meant students didn't need to rely on me to read the questions to them and allowed our internationals to listen and read English at the same time.
The what do we do during let's talk time was added a few weeks into the piece, this kind of image was also added to the literacy and numeracy pages as I felt I was repeating similar instructions each day to ensure everyone was on the same page. It was much better to direct students to the page and the image explaining what they needed to do. It still needs refining but it worked for us. I also added a video that explained how to get to each days Lets talk activity. The majority of students in the class didn't need any explanation for what to do but it was helpful to have this for our international students and those that needed a bit of extra support.
Google Classroom LinksI really love using google classroom but found it quite difficult for students to navigate as another place to go to find work, so I used the class site to link directly to the assignments they needed. If we had a literacy assignment to complete they could click on the button on the site and go directly to that assignment in Google classroom.
To get a link to an assignment
- Post the assignment to Google Classroom
- Click the 3 dot menu at the top right of the assignment while you're in the stream and select 'copy link to assignment'.
- Add the link to your class site or wherever you want students to access it.
I then use the link on the class site - usually in the form of a button the students can click on.
Literacy & Numeracy
Literacy and numeracy followed very similar lines to the Lets Talk page. Each page had a heading with what do we do during..? and then gave a brief explanation of what students needed to do each day. I separated out writing and reading to limit the amount of scrolling children needed to do but the headings at the top were both 'what do we do during literacy time'. I did this to keep the link between reading and writing for students and not have the two areas completely separate.
Each activity for these areas required a bit more explanation so that was added in the form of a slide deck and next to links/buttons if required.
Each student also had a reflection to do each day. This was linked using a button to a Google Classroom assignment. Students used the same document for the whole five weeks to keep track of their reflections. This was a means of tracking what they were doing and allowed me to then make connections with them if I didn't get to during class time using comments on the documents themselves or private comments via Google Classroom.
If I did it again I'd probably change the format a little to give more guidance at the start with what questions to answer for their reflection and give the students more scaffolding about why we're doing the reflection.
Having a digital home proved to be really useful for the students and definitely gave some students a chance to manage their own learning. It was by no means a perfect site and I would probably organise it a little better next time. However the comments from students and parents proved having this available 24/7 gave them a much better insight into how things worked in the classroom and the opportunity to continue their learning where-ever they were. Students liked being able to see what was happening and were always quick to talk to me if I'd forgotten to add something, they had a question about what was going on during the week or if there was an error in the site. It's well worth giving it a go!

Drone photographer charged with felony for allegedly interfering with medivac
Kele Stanley, a Springfield, Ohio-based videographer, has been charged with a felony after operating a drone near an accident.
Over the weekend, emergency responders in Clark County, Ohio arrived at a severe car accident and called in a helicopter to medivac an injured victim. Stanley also arrived at the scene, and deployed a remote-controlled hexcopter to film the scene.
According to police records, Stanley was asked three times by a township fire chief and a police officer to land his aircraft, so that a helicopter could land and transport a victim. In news reports, Stanley has denied that he was told a helicopter was en route.
On Monday, Stanley was charged with obstructing official business, which is a felony. Additionally, he is charged with misconduct at an emergency and disorderly conduct, which are misdemeanors.
"I don't want to lose my equipment and I definitely don't want to jeopardize someone else's life or care," he told the Dayton Business Journal.
In an interview with The Columbus Dispatch, aviation lawyer Peter Sachs saw the case as a first amendment issue. Sachs writes on the Drone Law Journal.
"If he did do something wrong, it should come out [in court]," Sachs told the Dispatch. "And if he didn't, that story needs to be told, too. Drones have an unfair, bad connotation surrounding them."
Stanley said he has been flying drones since 2010, and describes himself as a seasoned hobbyist. He said he will seek an aviation lawyer for legal assistance.
On Vimeo, Stanley has posted video under the username "Get Strange Entertainment." Below is an example of his aerial videography using a drone.

as he himself says, he's got the midas touch – rock n roll energy, garage guitars and propulsive drums that recall oasis at their prime give way to George Harrison-esque songwriting, gentle and surprisingly profound and revealing lyrics plus more than a few perfectly crafted sing along choruses to boot.

aka Glorified Mac and Cheese or known even better at my house as "Congrats, you had a baby, do you mind if I come over and see your new bundle of joy, and I will bring you dinner meal?"
3/4 pound whole wheat pasta shells or penne
salt, to taste
1 small rotisserie chicken (you can also just use chicken breast)
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 bag fresh leaf spinach, chopped
1 cup almonds, coarsely chopped
6 ounces fresh mozzarella, grated (use the real stuff - not the powder stuff - just bagged shredded cheese)
4 ounces fresh Vermont cheddar (I use Vermont Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese, grated - I use the whole bar (because lets face it more cheese just means more deliciousness - right?)
Preheat oven to 375 F. Butter/spray a large, rectangular casserole dish
Boil the pasta in salted water per package instructions. Drain, toss with a two tablespoons of olive oil. Set aside.
Chop onion, dice up chicken (or shredded it if you prefer), and grate the block of Vermont White Sharp Cheddar Cheese (yes I said grate...)
Heat a tablespoon or two of oil in a skillet or wok. Saute the onions and a bit of salt for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic, then spinach, cooking for approximately 20-30 seconds.
Remove skillet or wok from heat and stir in almonds.
Combine spinach mixture with pasta in a large bowl and carefully stir.
When chicken is done cooking, slice and add. Set aside. (If you like to sneak in more veggies, I'd recommend sliced mushrooms which I have also added before)
Combine cheeses (Vermont Extra Sharp Cheddar and Mozzerella) in a medium bowl. Begin by adding a layer of pasta to the casserole dish, followed by a layer of cheese.
Continue alternating layers, finishing with a layer of cheese. Sprinkle just a dash of cayenne and paprika over the top.
Cover dish with foil and bake for approximately 30 minutes.

Liu He, a top economic adviser to Chinese President Xi Jinping, will visit the U.S. from Feb. 27 to March 3, to discuss economic and trade matters, the Foreign Ministry confirmed on Monday. This will be the second top emissary to visit the U.S. in a couple months.
Why it matters: Beijing is trying to figure out how to avoid a much more contentious phase of U.S.–China relations. If China is serious about difficult financial reforms, then it needs to avoid risking its cleanup with significant economic friction with the U.S. The U.S. has leverage but so far I am hearing that the Trump administration has been unable to craft and implement a coherent strategy to use that leverage.

Taiwan International Orchid Show is one of the orchid professional shows in the world. This annual show displays various decorative orchid plants and many rare orchid breeds. The purpose of Taiwan International Orchid Show is to promote the exchange of the domestic and international cultivating technologies and expand the export sales of Taiwan orchid industry. In 2011, 240,000 visitors from 34 countries were attracted to this orchid exhibition, including 3,000 foreign orchid importers. In addition, the value of the orchid export trade in 2011 reached 7,000 million NT dollars.
Taiwan International Orchid Show 2012 will be held on March 3rd to 12th at Taiwan Orchid Plantation (T.O.P.). During the exhibition period, the export quarantine service will be provided by Kaohsiung branch, BAPHIQ on March 3rd, 4th, 5th and 9th (open hours: 10AM to 5PM). The advantage of the quarantine spot set up within the orchid show is to reduce the damages of the orchids during repacking and transportation.

The Nintendo Switch has a fairly impressive launch lineup of games. This is mostly thanks to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but new owners will still have plenty to play once they're done with that. Outside of the launch though, Nintendo has key titles lined up for release, with Splatoon 2 hitting in the Summer. The game promises to be a hit, with the first title being a definite fan-favorite on Wii U. We've had relatively little news on Splatoon 2 since its announcement, but today Splatoon's Twitter account, via Nintendo Wire, unveiled a new map you'll get to play on when the game hits this Summer.
The whole post is in Japanese, so we're going off a rough translation here. Based on what has been shared, the new Splatoon 2 map is called Diadema Theater and is a "sacred place" for the Inkling population. This is because this amphitheater once played host to the Squid Squad, whose songs you likely heard in the background of your many Splatoon matches.
Diadema Amphitheater looks like a pretty traditional Splatoon multiplayer map, though the few screenshots that have been shared seem to show a much more open environment than we've seen in other maps. This could cause some definite chaos, as teams fight over who will control the middle area. Snipers might be a problem you'll have to focus on, and keeping the map covered in your team's ink will be a real challenge.
Spaltoon 2 was a bit of a surprise announcement when Nintendo made it. Sure, we all assumed that Splatoon was coming to Nintendo Switch, with the first game being one of Wii U's biggest hits, while also introducing a brand new IP. Still, most assumed it would just be a refresh of the first game, rather than a full blown sequel. It'll be interesting to see how much new stuff Nintendo has packed into this game when it hits Nintendo Switch later this year.

Eryn O'Neill's work is focused on urban settings, using both recognizable landmarks and more industrial spaces to create visually appealing images. Discovering beauty in urban settings has been a recurring theme in her work for the past few years. She focuses on how we navigate urban environments, and what we consider to be visually stimulating.
In urban settings nature can be overlooked in favor of density and development. In her most recent paintings, she has chosen sites that make a conscious effort to maintain a relationship with nature by incorporating it into the space, for example, the painting "Urban/Nature" is taken form the perspective of the Canadian War Museum's living roof, incorporated into the landscape and creating a visually compelling structure.
These spaces offer a visual balance between the manufactured landscape and the natural environment, and between unlikely combinations of shapes, forms and materials. Nature is determined to reclaim the land from man-made structures, which provides tension in the scenes. She has tried to emphasize this balance with creative perspectives that capture the intersection of these two themes.
Eryn holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design in Halifax, NS, as well as her Masters of Fine Art (MFA) from the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, ON.

Meet the Ministry Team
Volunteers of America is a faith-based organization that honors the diversity of all religious and non-religious folks. As a church, we seek to meet the spiritual needs of clients, staff, and volunteers. Any staff member may become a minister. Our current ministry staff includes:
Ministry Team
Al Boyce, Chaplain
After 35 years as an evangelical minister, Al attended Harvard Divinity School and became a Unitarian Universalist minister. Before coming to Volunteers of America, he served as parish minister in Chester Depot, Vermont; founded a Unitarian Universalist parish in downtown Miami, Florida; and served the Plainfield, New Jersey Unitarian Universalist congregation. Today, when not chaplain for Volunteers of America, he serves as clinical Coordinator for a mental health agency, while pursuing a Phd in Psychology. He and his partner live between Vassalboro and Camden. Al's son and 3 grandchildren live in Northern Maine.
Michael Coon, Vice President External Relations
Michael, who is a commissioned minister, started in the IT field in 1979, when a "smart phone" was considered one that didn't tangle the cord. After working for Fortune 500 companies in the New York City area for most of his career, Michael decided to change gears several years ago and move to Maine when he became part of the VOA family. He feels he was called to serve as a minister for VOA through his experience as a parent.
Nancy Ives, Vice President Clinical Services and Ministry
Nancy, who is a licensed clinical social worker and commissioned minister, has been working with Volunteers of America since 2003. As a chaplain at heart, she feels her spirituality empowers the work she does as Vice President of Program Operations, and feels blessed to work in a "church without walls." Personally, she loves to cook and travel, and has a passion for rescuing dogs in need of homes.
Michael Merrill, Manager Veterans Programs
Mike has been with Volunteers of America since 2007 and believes his strong faith brought him to Volunteers of America as a way "to pay forward the kindness God has so graciously bestowed on him." He is a former U.S. Marine and church youth group leader, and was commissioned as a minister in 2013 and ordained in 2015. He currently serves in the Maine Army National Guard. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with family and friends, cooking, and playing musical instruments.
Tom Kircher, Assistant Chaplain
Tom is a non-denominational interfaith chaplain at Volunteers of America Northern New England. His academic training and ordination is through the Chaplaincy Institute of Maine (ChIME), and his clinical training was done with the College of Pastoral Supervision and Psychotherapy. He supports programs throughout the affiliate, but most of his work is done in the southern part of the state. He is a regular visitor at Volunteers of America's group homes and residential communities, facilitating small group discussions and meeting with individuals as needs arise. Tom has been working at Volunteers of America as chaplain intern, clinical trainee, and currently Assistant Chaplain for approximately two and a half-years. Tom lives in Biddeford with his wife, where you can find them most mornings walking with their dog on one of the town's beautiful beaches.

Hi, I'm interested in slimming down my formulas. Is there any OOP approach to storing column names into a variable? Something like storing [SPOUSE_AGE] into variable x and calling if-statements on that x (which would be simply calling [SPOUSE_AGE]. This would allow me to use x interchangeably for multiple fields.
An example of the snip-it of code I'm trying to slim down is below. I could reduce the amount of lines in this code by half if I can have a conditional if-statement to store [SPOUSE_AGE] or [SELF_AGE] into variable x, and just running x against the conditional statements rather than repeating such statements twice for both fields.
Go to Solution.
Go to Solution.
Hi,To my knowledge the closest thing you can do to storing a column name as a variable would be to create a new column [X] as the first formula in a formula tool, and setting it as the appropriate data type, with a formula of [SPOUSE_AGE], or whatever your field would be.
Then you could use that field in future formulas. You would want to use a Select tool after this point to clean up that variable by deselecting [X].
EDIT:A little more specifically to your use case, a formula for field X with the following expression:
And then writing your IF categorization statement against column [X] instead of SPOUSE_AGE and SELF_AGE
Then you can deselect [X] in the next step.
This is potentially less efficient than the programmatic aliasing you reference here (I can't speak to the inner workings and optimization of the Alteryx engine in cases like this), but especially if the data is only used for this one step I doubt it would impact performance in a significant way.
Could you do something like:
Max([SPOUSE_AGE],[SELF_AGE]) < 30 THEN '<30' ELSEIF
Max([SPOUSE_AGE],[SELF_AGE]) < 35 THEN '30-34' ELSEIF
Max([SPOUSE_AGE],[SELF_AGE]) < 40 THEN '35-39' ELSEIF
Max([SPOUSE_AGE],[SELF_AGE]) < 45 THEN '40-44' ELSEIF
Max([SPOUSE_AGE],[SELF_AGE]) < 50 THEN '45-49' ELSEIF
Max([SPOUSE_AGE],[SELF_AGE]) < 55 THEN '50-54' ELSEIF
Max([SPOUSE_AGE],[SELF_AGE]) < 60 THEN '55-59' ELSEIF
Max([SPOUSE_AGE],[SELF_AGE]) < 65 THEN '60-64' ELSEIF
Max([SPOUSE_AGE],[SELF_AGE]) < 70 THEN '65-69' ELSEIF
Max([SPOUSE_AGE],[SELF_AGE]) < 75 THEN '70-74' ELSEIF
Max([SPOUSE_AGE],[SELF_AGE]) >= 75 THEN '75+'
ELSE 'Error: Invalid Age Date'

Delta warning sends shares down
Even though the US airline revenue figures to the end of May are strong according to the US Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), going forward matters for the US majors are not so clear cut. Domestic traffic growth is expected to fall back to 4.5% year on year for June 2014. Even so US economic output figures are strengthening and thus one would hope the domestic airline market will be able to absorb additional capacity at speed. The international market however looks set to continue is weakening trend on the back of overcapacity.
At the beginning of July 2014 some US carriers saw shares fall in value the most in three weeks after Delta Air Lines reported that excess capacity in some international markets forced fares down more than had been expected. Delta essentially reduced its profit-sharing guidance for the year, which indicates a more cautious outlook for the third and fourth quarters of 2014. This news follows that of Lufthansa, which in May 2014 warned that there was significant excess capacity on Atlantic routes at this time. If this is the case across all airlines on the Atlantic routes then we should see this coming out through Virgin Atlantic and British Airways figures, not to mention American Airlines.
On the news from Delta traders with short options were quick to cash-in as shares fell, United Continental Holdings Inc. shed 7.1% to $39.27, Delta fell 5.1% to $38.24 and American Airlines Group dropped by 4.4% to $41.95. The reason for the Delta share price fall was because the investor update implies Q2 EPS in the $0.96-1.11 range with midpoint at -$1.03, while passenger revenue missed most forecasts by about -50 bps and PRASM looks set to come through at the low end of the 6-7% guidance range. Although all of this is more than offset by higher cargo/other revenue ($0.01), lower fuel ($0.01) and lower non-operating expenses ($0.01). This could be reflecting better equity earnings contribution from Virgin Atlantic, which would dispel the theory that all airlines are suffering on Atlantic routes at this time.
Information released by Delta indicated a second-quarter operating margin of 14-16%, said Jamie Baker, a JPMorgan & Chase analyst in a note, in which he also reduced his second-quarter profit estimate to $1.01 a share from $1.04, with a 14.9% operating margin.
American is now starting to catch-up with Delta. Operating margins in 1Q 2014 were above those of both Southwest and United at 7.3%, while operating margins at Delta were 7.7% for the same period. Most analysts expect American's 2014 full year operating margin to be 11.7%, while Delta is expected to return a 12.6% operating margin for the full year, well within its 11-14% range set by management.
The US international airline market is seeing huge upticks in capacity during 2014 as the Middle East majors, European low costs and APAC airlines all increase services to US cities exponentially – it is this that is starting to drive down fares for the US majors. As such the US majors have a very stark choice with regard to international services. They can either cut capacity and risk losing more business to foreign competitors or they can cut their ticket prices. The logical answer seems to be to unbundle fares on some international routes and see what the reaction will be.
Either way, 2014 presents a significant test for the US majors and they will need to find answers to these difficult problems.

Ireland's Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar
To this end the EU's chief negotiator, Michael Barnier, met with Northern Ireland's First Minister, Arliene Foster, in a possible attempt to circumvent the UK negotiations and strike a deal directly with the Northern Ireland leader.
Democratic Unionist Party leader Arlene Foster said after the meeting with the EU's chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, that there can be no division between Northern Ireland and the rest of the U.K. to accommodate for a soft border with the EU. The DUP fears that as the EU seeks to keep the Irish border as transparent as possible, it is at the same time erecting obstacles between Northern Ireland and Britain.
"What we're concerned about is to have a barrier between ourselves and the rest of the United Kingdom. That is the critical point for us," Foster said, adding that 72 percent of Northern Ireland goods go to the rest of the U.K. "The single market that matters to the people of Northern Ireland is the U.K. single market," she said. "It would be an economic catastrophe if we allowed a border between ourselves and the rest of the U.K."
Barnier assured her that all constitutional rules of the U.K. would be respected. "The EU is looking for practical solutions to avoiding a hard border, in full respect of the constitutional status" of Northern Ireland, he later tweeted.
As I see, and I am no expert, there is probably no need for a hard border between the North and South of Ireland as far as the UK is concerned.
- Free movement of Irish people between the South and North of Ireland will continue as per other agreements and will not be affected by Brexit.
- It is not the UKs problem if goods produced by the UK, post Brexit, for export to the Rest of the World, are smuggled into the EU.
- Most EU goods apart from alcohol drinks will cost more and consequently there will be little incentive for smuggling. As for alcoholic drinks, this frequently occurs now so no change.
- The movement of non-Irish people from the EU to the UK via the Southern Irish border will present a small problem for the UK. However, with no legal status to be in the UK any such people could quickly be dealt with by the robust implementation of out immigration laws.
The hard border would in effect be required by the EU to:
- Prevent cheaper goods, produced / imported by the UK, being smuggled into the EU without paying the EU required Tariffs.
- Prevent non-Irish British passport holders entering the EU without authority.
If there is to be a HARD border is will be a requirement of the EU and the UK Government should insist it is the responsibility of the Southern Ireland government to manage it and take any flack as a result.

There are serious vulnerabilities in Intel Security's McAfee Application Control product, researchers said.
Intel is still working on patches and saying the vulnerabilities are low risk issues.
Flaws Found in Security Providers' Wares
Avast Patches AV Zero Day
Fortinet Fixes Antivirus Vulnerability
Zero Day in FireEye Antivirus
IT security services and consulting company SEC Consult analyzed McAfee Application Control last year as part of its extensive research into critical infrastructure environments, particularly smart grids.
McAfee Application Control is an application whitelisting solution designed to block unauthorized files from executing on servers, corporate desktops and other devices. Intel said the product is a solution for critical infrastructure protection.
During his analysis of McAfee Application Control, SEC Consult's René Freingruber uncovered a series of vulnerabilities he said can end up exploited to bypass the application whitelisting protection. Whitelisting is a solid solution for the industrial control environment because it only allows approved applications to enter the network, which usually remains fairly consistent with its programming.
Freingruber said the security holes he found can end up exploited to bypass whitelisting protection and achieve arbitrary code execution through various techniques.
He also identified multiple kernel driver vulnerabilities that can end up leveraged to cause denial-of-service (DoS) conditions and possibly for privilege escalation, and insufficient file system read/write protections that can end up exploited to overwrite whitelisted applications once code execution occurs.
The researcher also discovered that McAfee Application Control ships with a ZIP application from 1999 that contains vulnerabilities, including a buffer overflow that can end up leveraged to bypass application whitelisting. However, he said exploiting the flaw is not easy and there are no public exploits available for it.
The vulnerabilities ended up reported to Intel Security this past June. Following an analysis of the issues, the vendor determined they are either not vulnerabilities or low risk bugs.
SEC Consult, which usually gives vendors 50 days to provide a fix, published an advisory disclosing the existence of the vulnerabilities in late July, but proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit code did not release at the time.

So I was randomly on Twitter the other day and one of the people I follow had RT'd a picture with the hashtag #StopBlackGirls2013
I cannot bring myself to download and put a picture accompanying this post, so if you are curious, you are going to have to check Twitter yourself.
The short version:
It was open season on black women on Twitter Sunday night. The tweets in the ugly trending topic compared black women's bodies w/ animals, furniture & food. Black women's existence was a joke. The topic trended for hours & reached the #2 trending topic spot. Post-racial America? Um, OK. [Storify]
I think that it is important to historicize, of course. American history, for the most part baffles me, but I understand at least one thing about feminism and America: that the early feminists like Elizabeth Cady Stanton fought primarily for the right to vote. And that, black women of the time had two wounds to heal: that of being a black person and that of being a woman. I point these out because they are the only things that give race a place in feminism.
Before I came across #StopBlackGirls2013, I had seen #SolidarityIsForWhiteWomen (there's a Storify post of it from August) which only made sense after I had read this interview with Mikki Kendall that started it.
#solidarityisforwhitewomen does not exist to position mainstream feminism in a better light. It exists to serve the marginalized.

How does a movement that seeks for equality end up in these fights!?

West Chicago, Illinois: February 1 , 2019 - Frigid temperatures notwithstanding, West Chicago is embracing 2019 with sights set on celebrating the beauty and wonder of a small winged creature which will shortly be waking from its months-long hibernation in warmer climates and begin its journey to the western suburbs.
The Monarch butterfly's wondrous migration and subsequent transformation has become something of a metaphor for the diverse community of West Chicago itself, which will be celebrating The Year of the Butterfly through an exciting calendar of programs and events. Thanks to the support of the West Chicago Cultural Arts Commission, the West Chicago America in Bloom committee, and the many community partners including the West Chicago Garden Club, People Made Visible, the Green Disciples of the First United Methodist Church of West Chicago, Community High School District 94, the DuPage Monarch Project, Community School District 33, residents and Master Naturalists Michael and Judith Horsley, and many others, the City will provide education, art and greater awareness for Monarch conservation.
The cross-pollination of these group efforts will yield the following for the enjoyment of everyone in the community and beyond:
• A free public screening of The Guardians, a Spanish-language documentary film with English subtitles, will be available on Friday, May 17, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. at Gallery 200, 103 West Washington Street as part of Artéculture. The film is a visually dazzling meditation on the balance between humans and nature. The Guardians poetically interweaves the lives of the threatened Monarch butterfly with an indigenous community fighting to restore the forest they nearly destroyed. Shot over three years, this cinematic journey through the butterfly dense mountaintops of Michoacán Mexico, tells the intimate story of a unique community at the front lines of conservation. Additional showings at Gallery 200 of The Guardians may be arranged for interested groups over the course of the year. Also, the film will be made available to students and faculty of Community High School District 94, as they explore the subject in related Science classes, as well as at an evening showing for the general public on a date and time to be announced.
• Blooming Fest, scheduled on Saturday, May 18, 2019 in downtown West Chicago from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m., will feature several opportunities to learn more about the Monarch from various environmental groups which will have booth spaces. Also, a special craft for children to create their own paper butterfly will be available at the City table on Main Street, and people of all ages will delight in becoming the center of larger-than-life butterfly wings. The photo opportunities of these interactive activities will provide great memories of The Year of the Butterfly.
• The opening of a citywide public art project that celebrates the Monarch, also takes place in May. Its chosen title, The Butterfly Effect, is a reference to chaos theory and the phenomenon which occurs when a minute localized change in a complex system has large effects elsewhere. The concept holds a special significance for the Cultural Arts Commission, which sees a strong symbolic connection between Monarch migration and the migration of diverse immigrant populations that traveled to West Chicago, adding beauty, value and history to the community. Through a collaborative effort between the West Chicago Cultural Arts Commission, the West Chicago Garden Club, People Made Visible and the West Chicago America in Bloom Committee, 29 artfully designed wooden butterflies will be installed in public gardens throughout the City, with an additional seven at the Kruse House Gardens. The butterflies, approximately three-feet high by four-feet wide, will be designed by local artists and members of the Garden Club. An interactive map will be designed for use in locating each installation, making it easy for residents and visitors to spend a delightful afternoon visiting each site from May through the month of September.
• Community arts not-for-profit People Made Visible will be coordinating a residential component of The Butterfly Effect for those wishing to create their own artful butterfly for use in the home garden. Smaller templates, priced at a reasonable cost, will be available for purchase at Gallery 200, 103 West Washington Street during normal hours of operation, Thursdays from noon - 6:00 p.m.; Fridays from noon - 8:00 p.m.; Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.; and Sundays from noon - 4:00 p.m.
• A new exhibit titled Home, which is scheduled to debut at the City Museum, 132 Main Street, on Saturday, May 18, 2019 and run through Saturday, April 18, 2020, will focus on an exploration of community, specifically as told through histories of people who currently call, or who have at one time called, West Chicago home. Additionally, select artifacts from the Museum's collections will be incorporated in the exhibit. Chosen artists will work with Museum Director Sara Phalen and exhibit co-curator Anni Holm to create compelling original artwork that will be inspired by the stories of those journeys to and in the community. Like the indelible imprint of the Monarch population to the West Chicago environmental landscape, the unique stories of people who made a home in West Chicago will illustrate the profound ways in which they have contributed to the cultural landscape.
For more information about any of West Chicago's The Year of the Butterfly events, programs, or activities, please contact Rosemary Mackey at email@example.com, or (630) 293-2200 x139.

I believe regular visits to your dentist together with regular brushing & flossing is crucial for healthy oral hygiene. It is important that you monitor your oral health to control & prevent bacteria levels, infections, tooth decays, gum diseases & replace any missing teeth. Replacing your missing teeth preserves your bone & helps with your chewing.

If you follow me here or twitter, pinterest, or goodreads, you might have noticed a little change. "Kindle-aholic" has made way for "Kathy", which I already use for Stellar Four and SF Signal.
To be honest, it was mostly laziness that prevented the change before. However, as time went on, the old moniker that I originally used on Amazon and just carried over to the rest of the internet made me sound more like a pro-Amazon blogger than what I am, a book lover who doesn't care where you buy your books, so long as you are reading.

The station opened on May 30, 1920.[1] It is located in the Bronx inside Hugh J. Grant Circle, where East 177th Street (the Cross Bronx Expressway service road), Metropolitan Avenue, and Westchester Avenue intersect. It is served by the 6 train at all times and the <6> train during weekdays in the peak direction.

|Street Level
Parkchester is an express station with three tracks and two island platforms. There are 1950s-style mushroom-shaped lights at the end of the platforms and the staircases to the mezzanine are sheltered. Just north of the station is a signal tower which was used until the late 1990s, when a new master tower was created in Westchester Yard. This station was rehabilitated in 2010.
When <6> express trains operate, 6 local trains terminate here. <6> express trains always stop on the center track and 6 local trains always stop on the outer track, even when they terminate there. Trains use the switches north of the station to get to their respective track. Terminating trains use the center track past those switches as a pocket track to relay.
The IRT Pelham Line north of this station is served by a local train at all times except rush hours when <6> trains make local stops between this station and Pelham Bay Park. During this time, trains switch designations at Pelham Bay Park for the return trip to Manhattan.
The station's only exit is a mezzanine in the center of the Hugh Grant Circle, a traffic circle. It has a crossunder and windows in a simulated 12-pane pattern similar to those at Whitlock Avenue. The fare control is at street level and the room features a painting entitled Live The Dream. There is an escalator from fare control to the southbound platform, bypassing the mezzanine.[4]

A decades-long quest to shoot an Ohio bowfishing-record-breaking buffalo sucker ended in a big way May 21st for Westerville's Josh Bowmar.
Bowmar has taken the new Ohio state record buffalo sucker- bowfishing category - by arrowing a 43-pound female buffalo sucker from Hoover Reservoir north of Columbus, a fish that also measured 43.5 inches with a girth of 28.875 inches.
Coincidentally, Hoover Reservoir likewise holds the title for the Ohio hook-and-line state record buffalo sucker: A 46.01 pound specimen taken Juky 2nd, 1999 by Tim Veit of Galena.
His fish beat the previous state record buffalo sucker of 40.80 pounds, taken from Lake Erie on October 11th, 2013 by Brent McGlone.
Bowmar's new state record – as was McGlone's fish and all other Ohio state record hook-and-line as well as bowfishing category entries – are determined by weight only.
Also, they are certified by the Outdoor Writers of Ohio with fish species identification assistance provided by the Ohio Division of Wildlife fisheries biologists. The Ohio outdoors writers group began the state record fish program several generations ago, and is the only such journalism organization that maintains an official list of state record fish.
In achieving his long-sought goal, the 28-year-old Bowmar said he's been targeting Hoover for a decade, the 2,218-acre impoundment being only 10 to 15 minutes from his home.
"The thing is, the buffalo sucker spawn is so short on Hoover – just one or two days – you have to be there at the right time or you'll miss it," Bowmar said. ""My wife and I went to Hoover for a full week to see if we could meet the spawn."
Bowmar said that he and his 29-year-old wife, Sarah, visited Hoover the day before he shot the sucker, saw fish spawning and decided to return to the same spot on May 21st. The couple also returned May 22nd to try and see if there might be an even larger buffalo sucker "but by then the spawn was all ready over," Bowmar said.
"Being there at exactly the right time is hard, and there is an element of luck," Bowmar said.
The Bowmars are dedicated archerers who spend up to six months traveling and videoing their exploits, including the taking of the new Ohio state record bowfishing record for buffalo sucker. This 4-minute/13-second long video can be seen on YouTube by accessing "Bowmar Bowhunting" and scrolling through the various entries.
Bowmar said as well that following his taking of what would become the new Ohio bowfishing state record buffalo sucker, Sarah arrowed the 25-pound male consort to the female he had just shot.
"I just happened to have shot the female and Sarah shot the male, but if there was a woman's state record division I am certain Sarah would now hold it," Bowmar said.
Both fish were taken in water considered somewhat deep for such bowfishing activity; about four or five feet and located off a point in Hoover Reservoir and not in some weedy or muddy bay, Bowmar said.
Shooting the fish demanded attention to details even before hitting the water. Bowmar has set up a Hoyt 60-pound draw weight recurve bow for instinctive shooting, and also employs an Easton FMJ bowfishing arrow comprised of a carbon core sheathed in an aluminum tube.
"The arrow is designed to penetrate deeper into the water than most other bowfishing arrows," he said.
That point was a key factor in the Bowmars' duel success as the buffalo sucker spawning pair was about three feet below the water's surface.
"I drew back and gave it everything I had," Bowmar said.
To further underscore the seriousness with which the Bowmars attach to bowfishing, the couple was first line to buy a specially designed and built bowfishing Tracker Marine Grizzly boat with "all of the bells and whistles," Bowmar said.
Bowmar intends to have the new state record mounted, a fitting trophy, he says.
"I absolutely knew it was a monster fish and that Hoover had a potential new state record," Bowmar said. "And as you can see from the video, it lost a lot of eggs on the deck of the boat. I'm guessing that had I plugged it and the fish had not lost all of those eggs, it would have gone 46 pounds."

Thanks, you guys that is a great explanation. keep up the good work..ReplyDelete

I too struggle with the use of images that belong to photographers, other bloggers, designers, based on the controversy over copyright ethics AND totally agree that there are a lot of recycled images out there. I remember reading a post by Grace Bonney suggesting that if you credit whenever you can, even if you see images on other pinners' boards, where you know the source or the photographer/designer - and doing so in the comments field. The "do unto others" mantra, so to speak. I did this early on, and limited what I pinned (thus my lack of pins!!) but have not been as diligent about doing this and have found myself pinning more, just so I don't forget "where" I originally found the image - and also as you, to help with clients' inspiration.
I think Pinterest does help define your style! and plan to get pinning. I'll still try not to pin an image that's been shuffled around too many blogs or social media outlets. And if I don't credit properly - please help me out by commenting on my pins!!
This was a great post! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and your STRIPES!!
Thanks Cecilia! I look forward to seeing your boards :)ReplyDelete
I was and am also pinterest fanatic... Good luck to us!ReplyDelete
Wow! We need this post. It gathers everything a mom/woman should know. Thanks for this author!ReplyDelete

Fight Your Insomnia the Natural Way through Choe's HapKiDo Johns Creek!
Our Choe's HapKiDo Johns Creek is a Natural Remedy for Insomnia
According to research, 1 in 4 workers in the USA suffer from chronic insomnia, while 30% of Americans have experienced symptoms of insomnia at some point in life. If you have ever felt fatigued, sleepy, irritable, or trouble with concentration throughout the day, and it is affecting your life, there are ways to naturally fight this condition. But first, before reading on, make sure to discuss any concerns with your doctor before proceeding with any treatment in general!
Did you know? There are two main types of insomnia. While Primary insomnia is unrelated to a health condition, secondary insomnia is the result of preexisting health conditions. But the good news? Training at Choe's HapKiDo Johns Creek can help with both.
4 Reasons for Insomnia, and How Choe's HapKiDo Johns Creek Can Help!
1) There is a lot of stress in your life.
Life constantly throws us so many curve balls, that sometimes they get the best of us. Work, school, family schedules, our own schedules, and relationships are some of the biggest contributors to our stress levels. As a result, the stress keeps us awake at night. It's hard to sleep well with everything on your mind.
Training at Choe's HapKiDo Johns Creek reduces stress. With the combination of physical and mental training, martial arts helps us unwind and release all tension from a long day. With lessons on deep breathing, meditation, and focus, your mind will be super relaxed and will let you sleep.
2) You're having problems finding a comfortable spot while trying to sleep.
If you're moving around your bed trying to find a comfortable spot, it may be due to tight muscles. Places like your back, shoulders, and hip can set off anyone's sleep. That's why we recommend increasing your flexibility.
At Choe's HapKiDo John's Creek, we can help you feel like a kid again. With practice in stretching daily, you will be able to run around and move more freely. You will even notice how playing with your kids and running errands is a lot easier with stretched out muscles!
3) You're affected by environmental factors.
Sometimes a room can keep you up at night. The room is too hot, too cold, too noisy, or even too quiet.
Martial arts training teaches you how to block any distraction. For centuries, martial arts has been an excellent teacher in learning how to take on any circumstance, while remaining cool.
4) A lot of thoughts on your mind.
After a tough week, or a build up of months, the weight of everything catches up. Similar to having stress keeping you up at night, having a bunch of angst and worry will too.
Martial Arts shows you how to take charge of life. It will help you to feeling great again. The exercises will have you relaxed, and your muscles will be free of all the toxin build up. And some of these exercises can be done right before bed so to assure a solid night of sleep.
Additional Benefits to Choe's HapKiDo Johns Creek:
- The ability to defend self and loved ones from harm
- New found strength and tone for the entire body
- Faster, more flexible, and more agile
- Healthier heart and lungs all around
- And much, much, MUCH more! You have to experience it for yourself!
A good night's sleep is important to your health.
Choe's HapKiDo Johns Creek would like to help you with your insomnia. Through energizing exercises and an opportunity to relieve stress, your whole mind and body will be relaxed, distraction free, and much more happier. Plus, it helps having a community on your side who cares about your well-being.

I don't think I've blogged on this before, so I thought I would share it; it periodically resurfaces in my memory, sometimes with shame , sometimes to stiffen my spine.
As a boy I was a rapacious reader. There was no love like the love of books. I enjoyed reads about weather and science. History books were also exciting. However what I loved most were story books, particularly those that took me to faraway lands and alternative worlds. I think I was in fourth or fifth grade when I discovered Pippi Longstocking. For those unfamiliar with her, she is a little girl who lives by herself with her monkey and she does what she pleases. She was absolutely delightful; I could not get enough of her.
In order to get to the elementary school we had to cross a street which was patrolled by an adult crossing guard who would stop traffic with a hand sign. This corner was supervised by a woman, whose name I no longer remember. She was probably in her 20s or 30s, a mere volunteer, but at my age she seemed a behemoth of authority, Justice incarnate. I had just purchased "Pippi in the South Seas" in which Pippi takes her friends to the South Pacific on the Hoptoad to visit her father the cannibal king. My emotions were as high as having received the latest Harry Potter book. As I waited for MissGuard to approve my crossing she spied my book and exclaimed " Pippi? What kind of book is that? It looks like a girl's book! What are doing reading a girls' book?" or words of that effect. I don't recall the exact words but I recall her emotions, which were surprise, disgust, and contempt. I immediately assumed she was right and I felt horribly ashamed. I turned red and tried not to cry. I hid the now horrible book in my coat lest someone else see it. I did not read the book for a very long while and when I did I did it behind closed door, lest someone see me doing it.
Later in life I realized the crossing guard was a total bitch and what she said and did was shockingly wrong on many levels. Yet out of this humiliating experience I extracted some good: the courage to read anything without shame or guilt.
The irony of this vignette is Pippi Longstocking isn't cowed by the yoke of custom and convention. When adults try to get her to behave 'as she should' she either takes no care or she runs rings around them. On a few times she shows enormous strength and stands up to the worse of adult bullies.
I am a proud member of the Friends of Pippi. We stand up to the manky crossing guards of Life who like to tell us to stop don't cross and what to do and read.

Kirklees Council will offer millions to developers in a bid to fast-track the regeneration of Huddersfield town centre.
Private firms behind the revamps of the Co-op building and Kingsgate are set to be the first to benefit from a £25m investment fund available over the next three years.
The developers will be offered State Aid to get on with the schemes more quickly than they would if they had to arrange private finance.
The amounts each will get has not been disclosed.
The council says it will make money on the loans and benefit from the boost to the economy.
Kingsgate already has permission for a huge expansion – set to begin next year – which includes a new cinema, restaurants and more shops.
The council says it has developers interested in the eye-sore Co-op building on New Street, which it bought in 2007 as part of the Queensgate revival plans, which never came off.
Council officials say lending money to developers could save the council potentially large repair bills in the future, if no development begins.
Clr Peter McBride said the fund would have a "catalytic effect" as once one project was completed it would boost the fortunes of neighbouring premises.
He said: "Anything we can do to make these things happen will in turn impact on neighbouring properties in terms of making them more attractive for investment.
"It will have a catalytic effect on some developments, which otherwise wouldn't take place."
He added: "This isn't the case of 'here's £25m, how can we spend it?'
"It's a tool that enables us to deal with possibilities we currently aren't able to deal with.
"Some councils have used this kind of money speculatively but we will not be going as far as that."
A council report says the loans will often be used as "short term cover" during construction of developments, with companies asked to re-pay the debt to taxpayers soon after.
The plan requires an injection of capital into the council's budget of £5m this year, £15m in 2018/19 and another £5m in 2019/20.
It is thought the money will be found from re-assigning existing cash and none will be borrowed.
The plan must be voted through by a majority of all councillors.

Infosys recalls Murthy to head the company in challenging days
Bangalore: Grappling with a string of disappointing results and loss of market share, IT services firm Infosys on Saturday recalled founder and former chairman N R Narayana Murthy and appointed him as its executive chairman.
Murthy, poster-boy of India's IT success, will replace current chairman K V Kamath, who will become lead independent director, effective today.
The current executive co-chairman S Gopalakrishnan will be re-designated executive vice chairman while S D Shibulal, who was one of the seven engineers to launch the company in 1981 by pooling together USD 250, will continue as Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
Stating that is was "very unusual" for him to be back at Infosys, Murthy, who will turn 67 in August, said the company faced challenging times but did not elaborate.
He said he would "add value" to Shibulal's role and that the company should focus on large application development, maintenance and independent validation services.
Infosys board re-appointed Murthy, who retired from the company in August 2011 to become chairman emeritus, for five years from June 1.
"The board has taken this step keeping in mind the challenges that the technology industry and the company faces," Kamath said acknowledging calls from shareholders to strengthen executive leadership of the company.
Murthy said his son Rohan will have no leadership role in the company.
India's second-biggest software-services provider has struggled in the past two years as its big customers in the US and Europe cut costs and has lagged behind Tata Consultancy Services and smaller rivals HCL Technologies and Wipro in competing for orders.
The company in April posted sales that fell short of its own forecast amid a spending slowdown in North America and Europe.

Speaking at an Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) summit on the subject of athlete well-being earlier this month, multiple Olympic gold medalist and Australian swimming legend Ian Thorpe shared his thoughts on national-level medal goals made publicly by Olympic Committees heading into a major sporting competition such as an Olympic Games.
"I don't think it's beneficial when sporting organisations are talking about how many gold medals we'll win at a competition and that will be the highest number we've ever won," long-retired Thorpe said.
"It puts an immense amount of pressure on athletes around something they have no control over." (Reuters)
The Australian Olympic Committee has set a target of a 'top 5' medal table finish at the last 3 Summer Games, while individual sporting federations down under also have their own targets.
And, the nation of Australia isn't alone in setting medal-driven targets, however. Japan, host of the next Summer Olympics, has announced a medal target of 30 golds for 2020. The British Olympic Association also targeted an overall 3rd place finish in the medal table when they hosted the Olympics back in 2012, partly due to the nation's record-breaking performance in 2008 that resulted in a 4th place finish overall.
Shortly after Thorpe voiced his opinion, AOC President John Coates issued a statement supporting the Olympic swimmer. "We actively stepped away from setting targets for the very reasons that Ian has rightly raised in recent days. In November 2016, the AOC executive fully endorsed the position that no targets be set in our programme and funding guidelines for both Tokyo 2020 Summer Games and also this year's Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games."
Coates said,"Our focus should be on Australians engaging in sporting activity and seeking to fulfill themselves through sport." (Straits Times)

A TOP children's doctor who vanished without trace three weeks ago has been seen in Liverpool.
Dr Richard Stevens's family have been shown CCTV footage taken at John Lennon Airport - and his daughter is "100 per cent" convinced it is him.
After standing outside the airport entrance in the early hours, the doctor from Sale took a taxi to the city's Lime Street railway station.
Sgt Julie Connor, of Greater Manchester Police, said: "The CCTV followed him out of the airport entrance to a taxi rank.
"He appears to be quite confused and is looking up at the sky.
"He is wearing a cream-coloured anorak, white long-sleeved shirt, black trousers and black lace-up shoes.
"He is carrying a black laptop-type case.
"One of the airport staff spoke to him. He was well spoken, but seemed nervous and agitated. The member of staff asked him where he was going and he said to Lime Street.
"He was later picked up in a silver-coloured taxi cab which took him to Lime Street.
"The taxi driver told him there would be no trains at that time, but he insisted he wanted to be taken there and was dropped off at the Bolton Street side.
"He paid the driver with a £20 note and entered the train station.
"We have shown the CCTV footage to his wife and daughters - and his daughter is 100 per cent sure that it's him."
Sgt Connor added: "We are overjoyed that he has been identified.
"He looks anxious and dishevelled, but considering the amount of time that he has been missing, his health seems to be OK. He was wearing glasses and his hair was a bit flatter.
"His family just want him to get in touch and come home safely."
Dr Stevens, 54, left his home in Sale on July 21 and arrived at the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital in Pendlebury 20 minutes later.
He was filmed on CCTV as he entered the hospital and left his jacket and briefcase in his office.
But until the Liverpool sightings at around 1.00am yesterday, there had been no definite trace of him.
Officers are continuing to investigate reported sightings of Dr Stevens and are also monitoring any mobile phone activity and his bank accounts.
Sgt Connor added: "The man in the footage appears confused and disorientated and we are concerned that Dr Stevens may have suffered some sort of breakdown and does not know where he lives.
"He was wearing a beige-coloured coat and one of the lenses in his glasses had cracked. He told airport staff he was heading north.
"These images suggest he is so confused he may not know who he is or that he has a family who love him."
Anyone with information should call police on 0161-856-5143.
