UrbanTech's Dignity for All Program
Janina Casey is a New York-based financial professional with over 15 years of experience. She is currently involved in research and equity sales. An active participant in community-based programs, Janina Casey has been supporting fundraisers for Urban Tech, a non-profit organization in which she is a board member.
Founded in 1995, Urban Tech is a social corporation with a mission of revamping the education scene through several strategies which include digital storytelling, critical thinking, and social-emotional learning. The organization hosts several programs that aim to improve the educational experience, among which is Dignity for All (DFA), a bullying prevention program.
DFA is a part of the Safe and Supportive Schools program aims to build a more compassionate society. The program utilizes storytelling, role-playing, and even popular culture to instigate a collaborative effort towards breaking down the issues that accompany each step of the bullying cycle. DFA helps instill the necessary skills to sustain a safe and supportive culture in schools.
DFA is divided into three quests:
1. Knowledge acquisition - this is where students are made to understand the foundational elements of bullying, including the roles in the bullying cycle.
2. Attitude shift - during this quest, students are required to critically reflect on their own belief systems and their essential needs.
3. Behavior transformation - after a series of theoretical activities, students complete tasks that entail practical application of what has been learned thus far.

An angry St Michael resident is venting her frustration after a rock throwing incident involving students from the Combermere School damaged two private vehicles and a Barbados Water Authority (BWA) water meter close to her home.
The woman, who did not want to be identified, said the incident occurred in Leinester Road, Waterford, St Michael around 4 p.m. today.
She told Barbados TODAY neighbours in the community, located just to the back of the school, witnessed an altercation between two students that later escalated into a rock throwing incident involving other children, despite repeated appeals to the feuding parties to stop.
During the row, the rocks thrown damaged the cap of a water meter at one house, dented one vehicle and resulted in the second car being scraped.
The woman said a report had been filed with police and a complaint was also made to the school's deputy principal Monica Parris who promised to look into the matter.
Public Relations Officer of the Royal Barbados Police Force Acting Inspector Rodney Inniss confirmed that a formal report had been made and investigations were continuing.
The woman expressed concern about the increasing number of fights and other deviant behaviour occurring after school and said action should be taken to stop the bad behaviour.

RFID Antennas & Detuning - The RFID Tag Industry Advances
The job of a system integrator and RFID label manufacturer is to work as a team to deliver RFID labels and tags that best fit the customers application at the minimum total cost of ownership. A conflict can potentially arise if a sales person is tied too closely to one company and tries to bias the customer's decision by recommending a product they sell and that is not optimal for the customer's application.
RFID labels and inlays are designed for specific applications including mounting surface material, read range, chemical and abrasion resistance, adhesive and cost of ownership. If a label falls off the item being tracked, this increases the cost of ownership. If an RFID label doesn't read, this also increases the cost of ownership. If a life of 4 years is needed for an application and the RFID label is incorrectly applied in the wrong location and only reads sporadically, this increases the cost of ownership.
Metalcraft understands the range of rfid applications and works closely with the integrator and customer to test and develop unique labels that meet the customers tracking life expectations, read rate and cost/price criteria.
Examples of this are the sale of a traditional RFID tag based on a traditional dipole antenna Sold into an application where the tag is mounted close to metal, liquids or on glass. Metals, liquids and metalcontaining glass detune the tag's antenna and shift the frequency response of the tag out of the frequency bands the reader can read the serial number. The symptoms of this detuning by metal and liquids are shorter read ranges, lower read rates and possibly not reading at all.
Industry response to the metals and liquids in the early 2000's was initially to warn customers about this sensitivity and be careful where they place the RFID label. While this is still true today, new patch antennas were developed for UHF RFID tag's that are designed to specifically mount on glass with excellent read range and read rates. These tags were designed with a built in frequency shift to compensate for the detuning effect of glass.
As the demand increased for mount on metal applications, Metalcraft developed a unique non-symmetrical folded patch antenna that contains it's own ground plane, so it truly becomes desensitized to the material the label is applied.
Universal, Mini-Universal, for the North American market, and E-Universal tuned for 865 MHz to 868MHz European RFID frequency bands are UHF RFID tags are specifically designed to mount on metal and provide excellent read ranges and read rates. These tags are location and mounting material independent so they can be mounted anywhere; on cardboard, metal, liquids, plastics or glass and produce excellent results. Because these inlays include a built in ground plane, they are not detuned when mounted on or close to metals like dipole and patch antennas are. One characteristic of a Universal RFID tag is that it is a one-sided read tag because the ground side of the patch antenna is in close proximity to the glass, metal or liquid. The RF signal is reflected to the reader from the ground plane.
RFID is a wonderful technology; it is provides lower overall cost of owner ship for most applications but it requires a longer learning and testing cycle than barcode did in the 80's.

Wests Tigers v Sea Eagles preview
3 hours ago | Tim Costello
Sea Eagles press for top four finish
The Manly Sea Eagles and Wests Tigers will look to evoke the "Silvertails v Fibros" spirit on Thursday evening in a key matchup for both side's finals aspirations.
Returning from across the ditch after an unexpected 24-16 loss to the Warriors last Friday, the Manly Sea Eagles will be looking to continue a dominant record at Lottoland that has yielded six wins from eight appearances in 2019.
Dominating the Western Suburbs - Balmain joint venture on the northern beaches with eight wins from ten matches, coach Des Hasler will be stressing the importance of coming away with two competition points as the Sea Eagles look to secure their first top four finish since 2014.
With Brad Parker (knee) and Curtis Sironen (hamstring) sidelined in the aftermath of last week's loss in Auckland, Brendan Elliot and Jack Gosweiski come into the team at centre and second row respectively.
Left to rue a missed opportunity against the Bulldogs in last Saturday's 18-16 loss at ANZ Stadium, the Wests Tigers will need to win on Thursday night to remain in contention for the top eight.
Sitting one point outside the top eight in tenth position, coach Michael Maguire will be banking on the Tigers continuing a strong record against the Sea Eagles after recording wins in their past four meetings dating back to 2017.
Losing inspirational captain Robbie Farah with a knee injury that threatens to bring his career to a premature end, emerging hooker Jacob Liddle will start at hooker for only the seventh time in his career, while Tommy Talau - son of former New Zealand international Willie Talau - will make his NRL debut in place of Moses Mbye.
After being found guilty of a dangerous contact charge at the judiciary on Tuesday evening, Luke Garner will miss the vital clash with out-of-favour playmaker Josh Reynolds in contention to play his first match since Round 7 after being named on the extended bench.
Last meeting: Round 1 2019 - Wests Tigers 20 Sea Eagles 6
Who to watch: Enjoying a strong season after spending the past few years in and out of first grade due to injury, Jorge Taufua has provided the Sea Eagles with a hardened edge not seen since the retirement of Steve Matai. Missing just two matches in 2018 to reassert his status as a regular fixture on the left edge, the 27-year-old Samoan and Tongan representative has crossed for seven tries in addition to averaging well over 100 metres per game. Contracted to Manly for a further two years after penning a new deal back in June, look for Taufua to showcase his skills as a formidable opponent with a starring performance on Thursday evening.
Suffering the devastation of missing an equalising conversion on fulltime against the Bulldogs, emerging outside back Paul Momirovski will be eager to make amends with his actions on the football field. Joining the Tigers after making an important cameo in the Roosters' premiership success last year, the 23-year-old Alexandria Rovers junior has shown signs of promise in seven appearances under Michael Maguire, including four tries in his past three matches. Experiencing the heartache rugby league can conjure at its cruellest last Saturday, look for Momirovski to bounce back with resilience as he strives to keep the Tigers in contention for the play-offs.
The favourite: Despite going down in Auckland last Friday, the Sea Eagles are expected to bounce back in style at home.
My tip: Capable of finishing the round inside the top four should other results go their way, look for the Sea Eagles to make a big mark in front of a small crowd. Sea Eagles by 22.

British firms are being encouraged to set up shop in the Philippines in order to take advantage of this up and coming Southeast Asian country, which will have one of the region's highest GDP growth rates in 2015. Last week, in a recent sign of the growing business relations between the two countries, British Ambassador to the Philippines, Asif Ahmad, hosted the Great British Festival in Manila.
The festival sought to promote British brands and improve their name recognition in, and market access to, the Philippines. These brands included companies from the food and beverage, trade, retail, and automotive industries, with participants ranging from Waitrose and Diageo to Hamley's and Jaguar.
Additionally, this June, the Philippines' Department of Trade and Industry and the Public-Private Partnership Centre will hold a roadshow in the United Kingdom pitching for investment into the Philippines's infrastructure and retail sectors.
Mr. Ahmad is currently helping to organize the upcoming roadshow by arranging to bring government representatives, Philippine investors, contractors, and British companies already operating in the Philippines to the UK in order to advertise the opportunities available for British companies. Ahmad aims to have at least 250 large companies and 50 small and medium-sized enterprises participate in the two-day roadshow, matching speakers with invited guests.
"There are so many opportunities," Ahmad commented, "This an exciting market because the population is a spending population." He drew particular attention to the expansion of Costa Coffee into the Philippines market, adding, "All the retail brands are here. If you look at cars, you already have Jaguar, Land Rover and Mini Cooper. Aston Martin (Lagonda Ltd.) is expected to come this year, while Morgan Motor Co. came in last year."
Matt Kenley, international operations manager for Costa Coffee SEA and India, has said the British multinational coffeehouse is aiming to have 80 Costa Coffee shops in the Philippines within five years. These shops will partner with established supermarket and retailers.
Alongside business to customer investment opportunities for the retail sector, the roadshow will also be promoting infrastructure development. The Philippines' Department of Public Works and Highways has committed to paving all national roads and concretizing all bridges by 2016, which will add up to over 32,000km of new construction.
Infrastructure development has been high on the agenda for the Aquino administration since it came into power in the Philippines three years ago. The quality of the Philippines' infrastructure still compares unfavorably to other countries in the region, particularly in comparison to Singapore, but it is hoped that the upgrades will make the country's business environment more attractive and competitive.
Michael Rodriguez MD of Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets has affirmed that "the [Philippine] government today has made infrastructure development, particularly through public-private partnerships, a priority – this is the first time after a few administrations that this has happened."
A key area that is slated for development is Mindanao, the second largest and southernmost major island in the Philippines. In order to uncap the potential in the area's agriculture and tourism industries, the government is encouraging private and public investment to link airports and seaports to production centers and tourism destinations.
With robust broad-based economic growth, and a positive appraisal of the Philippines' budget deficit and inflation targets from the IMF, British investors are likely to be grateful for Ambassador Ahmad's efforts in securing improved commercial cooperation between the two countries.

Macedon Gas Plant
The Macedon domestic gas facility commercialises natural gas from an offshore lease located in the Exmouth Sub-Basin. Gas from the plant is exported to the Dampier-to-Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline for sale into the Western Australian market.
BGC Contracting was involved in the development of the on-shore facilities being constructed 16km south-west of Onslow in Western Australia. The initial contract saw BGC complete the construction of a 13km access road to site, including the installation of signage's, road marking, storm water drainage, single seal for the 13km, and asphalt in the intersections. During the final months of this project, the BGC team worked closely with the client to construct the access road in half widths. This allowed traffic bringing the gas plant equipment to continue undisturbed. BGC was able to achieve all the key completion dates in time without any delay.
In September 2011, BGC began working on the site preparation after securing a second contract for bulk earthworks. The site preparation works included the construction of two evaporation ponds, stormwater pond, ground flare, concrete ditches, fencing and gates. A total of 50 variations were added to the initial contract, increasing the contract value by $20 million.
The repeat business aspect of this project stands testament to BGC's commitment to maintaining strong and mutually beneficial relationships with its clients.
Two months after the site preparation work commenced, BHP Billiton Petroleum contracted BGC to establish a mobile ready mix concrete plant under a third contract, as well as construct concrete foundations and ground pavements for the Macedon Gas Plant (both insitu and precast). All underground services such as storm water drainage, fire water service, potable water reticulation and electrical earthing was completed for the concrete plant.
Key parts of the third contract were handed over early to allow the structural mechanical and piping contractor to start work early on critical foundations. BGC were required to meet seven key dates, all of which BGC achieved in time.
The repeat business aspect of this project stands testament to BGC's commitment to maintaining strong and mutually beneficial relationships with its clients. The combined project value for these contracts was in the region of $110 million.

It's objectively unprecedented for the Senate to be provided such a small fraction of the documents related to a Supreme Court nominee's past work, as in the case of Judge Brett Kavanaugh. During Wednesday's confirmation hearing, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) caught Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) in an apparent lie about why that is.
Durbin began his questioning of Kavanaugh by highlighting how conspicuous it is that the Senate has been deprived of so many documents from Kavanaugh's time working for the Bush administration and that so many more have been unilaterally classified. More than 100,000 documents from Kavanaugh's time in the Bush administration have been held back under the claim that they are protected by "executive privilege." Bill Burck, a private attorney and longtime friend of Kavanaugh, has personally controlled what documents can be shared, instead of the National Archives and Records Administration as is the standard process.
Durvin told Kavanaugh that Burck has "some magic power to decide what the American people will see about your role in the White House." He implored Kavanaugh to himself call for the proceedings to be suspended so there wouldn't be "a cloud over this nomination."
Grassley interrupted a moment later, however, to insist that the committee had been handling the documents in proper accordance with the Presidential Records Act.
As Durbin pointed out, that is not true.
Durbin noted that the Act requires coordination with the National Archives to arrange for the documents. The committee had not done this — instead procuring the documents directly from the Bush library.
Grassley declared that he was prepared for this accusation and read a prepared statement:
They have accused us of cutting of cutting the National Archives out of the process, so this is where I want to set the record straight. President Bush acted consistently with federal law when he expedited the process and gave us unprecedented access in record time to Judge Kavanaugh's record, but we have worked hand in glove with the Archives throughout this process and the documents this committee received are the same as if the archives had done the initial review. […] The National Archives was not cut out of the process.
Again, this was flagrantly untrue, and Durbin immediately called Grassley out. Indeed, the National Archives put out a statement last month clarifying that neither President Bush's actions nor the Judiciary Committee's decision to publish some of those documents represented the National Archives. It also said that because the volume of documents related to Kavanaugh's tenure was so high, its review would not be fulfilled until late October.
Durbin entered the Archives' statement into the committee's record.
The way Grassley rushed to get the documents outside the normal procedure and then tried to cover it up shows how desperate Senate Republicans are to rush this confirmation process. They want Kavanaugh on the Court in time for the next session, so the entire reason the documents aren't available is because they simply didn't want to have to wait for the Archives to process them.
Grassley may have claimed they worked "hand in glove" with the Archives, but the truth is that they didn't work together at all.

California Dreamin...
This month's Cars & Coffee in Woodland Hills, CA and Aliso Viejo, CA were tremendous, both in car and spectator turnout. Maybe it's the desire to cram as many outdoor events into the fleeting January schedule or the chance alignment of the free time of Southern California car enthusiasts, but whatever the case, both meetings were packed to the gills this month. The huge attendance didn't deter from the show and I saw many car owners excitedly discussing their cars with interested attendees.
The Cars & Coffee staff also put in a great effort in organizing cars transiting through the crowd and managing managing vendor displays.
My highlights of the show were mostly engine swaps and the various displays of aero-dynamic efficiency employed by various owners, although it's hard to discount the first Konnesegg Agera R I've had the pleasure to see in person as well as a Rezvani Beast to boot. The Rezvani Beast is an interesting model, this particular model boasted 315 horse power in a svelte 1700 lb.
The Rizvani Beast caught the eye of many car enthusiasts at the Aliso Viejo Cars and Coffee. This specific car was model #3 built for a lady in Ohio. This was specifically designed based off the Ariel Atom.
Getting the sense of a huge crowd forming again at the Aliso Viejo Cars and Coffee, we headed toward that direction, we were in awe at what had arrived. The Koenigsegg Agera Hyper Car from Sweden!
Here are a few more pics of the stunning cars seen at the Aliso Valejo and Woodland Hills Cars and Coffee!

Bus on hire in Delhi
Are you planning to go on a family picnic? If yes, you need to consider certain factors that help you in taking a well-informed decision. Remember, right information leads to right decision. Some of the factors are-
- You need to decide the bus you need to take on hire. The latest tour coaches come with features like Air Conditioning, DVD Players and more; hence costlier than other options.
- Another option that needs to be considered is the time. As soon as a bus is hired, the drivers need to be paid from that precise moment. Thus, one need to decide the exact time of hire and dropping off your passengers.
- Another factor that needs to be kept in mind is the distance that is expected to be travelled. Remember, heavy vehicles are slightly costlier to operate and with every kilometer, more money needs to be spent. It is thus important to work out exact routing so that money is not wasted unnecessarily. Take a direct route to the destination as much as possible so that additional money need not paid.
- Take sundry costs like driver meals, road tolls, accommodation, etc., into consideration.
When all these costs are added together, it will give you an idea of the cost of Bus on Hire in Delhi. After considering all these factors, a proper bus hire service can be acquired. Having best services available will help in enjoying the trip with the family or friends without any problem, tension and stress.

MIAMI >> Shelby Miller's no-hit bid ended with two outs in the ninth inning Sunday when Justin Bour singled sharply up the middle, and the Atlanta Braves right-hander pitched a two-hitter in a 6-0 win over the Miami Marlins that completed a three-game sweep.
Miller (5-1) retired the first two batters in the ninth before Bour singled on the first pitch, a 95-mph fastball. Dee Gordon then reached on an infield single before Martin Prado popped out, ending the game.
Two hits weren't enough to satisfy Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria, who fired manager Mike Redmond shortly after the game. The Marlins are off to a 16-22 start after a busy offseason.
Redmond's replacement will be announced Monday, the Marlins said. Bench coach Rob Leary was also fired.
Henderson Alvarez (0-3), pitching for the first time since April 12 after recovering from shoulder and elbow inflammation, allowed six runs in 5 1/3 innings. Jace Peterson hit a two-run single in a five-run second.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. >> Edinson Volquez (3-3) threw three-hit ball for seven innings, and Salvador Perez homered and drove in two runs as Kansas City won for the second time in the three-game series.
Chis Capuano (0-1) made his season debut after rehabbing a quadriceps strain sustained in spring training. The veteran left-hander gave up four runs, four hits and two walks, and left New York in a big hole when he was pulled four batters into the third inning.
New York lost for the fifth time in six games and was shut out for the first time this season.
BALTIMORE >> Mike Wright (1-0) allowed four hits, struck out six and walked none in 7 1-3 innings in his major league debut. Brad Brach struck out the last two batters in the eighth, and Zach Britton worked the ninth for his eighth save.
Adam Jones scored on a wild pitch in the fourth inning and added a two-run double in the eighth to help Baltimore stop the Angels' five-game winning streak.
Garrett Richards (3-2) gave up two runs and five hits in 7 2/3 innings.
CHICAGO >> A.J. Burnett (3-1) worked around five walks while allowing three hits in seven innings, and Pittsburgh stopped a four-game losing streak.
Jake Arrieta (4-4) gave up one run and five hits in seven innings, losing for the first time in five career decisions against the Pirates.
Francisco Cervelli had a hand in Pittsburgh's first two runs after the catcher was shaken up in the fourth when he was hit in the groin by a foul tip. He had an RBI single in the fifth, and then singled and scored on Neil Walker's two-out double in the eighth.
PHILADELPHIA >> Sean O'Sullivan (1-2) allowed five hits in six innings for his first win in four years. He had been 0-9 with a 7.19 ERA in 13 starts and five relief appearances since winning at Yankee Stadium for Kansas City on May 12, 2011.
O'Sullivan was hit on the throat by a throw from his own catcher, Cameron Rupp, in the sixth and retired Aaron Hill on a flyout with his next and final pitch of the day.
Maikel Franco homered, tripled and drove in two runs for the Phillies, who have won five in a row for the first time since July.
Josh Collmenter (3-5) gave up four runs on six hits in six innings. Arizona has lost four straight.
LOS ANGELES >> Mike Bolsinger (2-0) pitched three-hit ball for six innings, striking out six. Kenley Jansen, who returned from the disabled list Friday after left foot surgery in February, pitched a perfect ninth for the save.
Yasmani Grandal had an RBI single in the fourth off Kyle Kendrick (1-5) as the Dodgers salvaged a split. Each team had three hits.
CINCINNATI >> Brandon Belt homered for the third time in three games, Nori Aoki drove in three runs and Hunter Pence homered in his second game back from a broken forearm.
The World Series champions, who built a 6-1 lead, won three straight games in Cincinnati for the first time since 2005 and at 20-18 moved two games over .500 for the first time since
Yusmiero Petit (1-0) allowed one run and three hits in three innings, and Santiago Casilla struck out the side in the ninth for his ninth save. Anthony DeSclafani (2-4) gave up six runs, six hits and three walks in three innings.
ST. LOUIS >> Kolten Wong hit a tiebreaking home run in the sixth inning and Lance Lynn got his fifth career RBI to back his dominant pitching as St. Louis avoided a three-game sweep.
Miguel Cabrera's RBI double in the first was the only damage against Lynn (3-3), who gave a weary bullpen a break before walking the last two batters he faced at the end of his 7 1-3 innings. Seth Maness' only pitch got a double-play ball to end the eighth and Trevor Rosenthal finished for his 13th save.
Matt Carpenter added two hits and Peter Bourgos tripled and scored on Lynn's single in the third. The Cardinals improved to a major league-best 25-12 despite having two players thrown at the plate.
Alfredo Simon (4-2) gave up two runs in six innings for the Tigers, whose three-game winning streak ended.
NEW YORK >> Noah Syndergaard (1-1) earned his first major league win, allowing one run and three hits in six innings.
He hit Carlos Gomez on his helmet's left earflap with a 96 mph fastball in the sixth. Gomez said he did not sustain a concussion and hoped to play Monday night at Detroit.
Curtis Granderson hit a leadoff home run, Lucas Duda doubled twice and Michael Cuddyer drove in two runs to help the Mets win their second straight after a five-game skid.
Wily Peralta (1-5) gave up five runs and nine hits in five innings.
HOUSTON >> Collin McHugh (5-1) struck out nine in seven innings, allowing two runs and six hits as Houston won its fifth straight. He is 14-7 with a 2.80 ERA in his last 27 starts dating to last May 27.
Luis Valbuena and Colby Rasmus homered, and Luke Gregerson pitched the ninth for his 10th save.
Mark Buehrle (5-3) gave up four runs and six hits in a season-high eight innings, his first complete game since July 25, 2013, against the Astros.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Evan Longoria drove in three runs and had two of Tampa Bay's season-high 18 hits.
Chris Archer (4-4) allowed one run and four hits in six innings, and Kyle Gibson (3-3) gave up three runs and eight hits in five innings.
ARLINGTON, Texas >> Mitch Moreland had a two-run homer after an earlier hit off the top of the wall as Texas avoided a three-game sweep.
After Moreland lined a double off the top of the right-field wall in the second that produced the first Texas run, his drive estimated at 407 feet in the sixth just cleared the wall in center and made it 4-1.
Nick Martinez (3-0) allowed one run in five innings for his first victory in six starts. Carlos Carrasco (4-4) struck out nine in eight and gave up seven hits in Cleveland's first complete game this season.
SAN DIEGO >> Stephen Strasburg (3-4) rebounded from a rough start to beat his hometown Padres for the fourth straight time, allowing three runs and five hits in five-plus innings,
Bryce Harper and Danny Espinosa hit three-run homers, with Harper raising his league-leading, home-run total to 14, as Washington won for the 15th time in 19 games.
Justin Upton homered twice for the Padres, raising his season total to 10. Ian Kennedy (2-3) gave up six runs, three hits and four walks in five innings.
SEATTLE >> James Paxton (2-2) allowed five hits in eight innings, stretching his scoreless streak to a career-best 20 innings, and Carson Smith pitched a perfect ninth.
Brad Miller homered for the third time in two games, and Kyle Seager added a two-run drive in the eighth.
Steven Wright (1-1), starting in place of injured Justin Masterson, gave up three runs — two earned — and five hits in five innings.
OAKLAND, Calif. >> Avisal Garcia hit a two-run homer, Alexei Ramirez had two hits and two RBIs, and Jeff Samardzija (3-2) allowed three runs in eight innings as Chicago swept a series in Oakland for the first time in 18 years.
Jose Abreu and Gordon Beckham also drove in runs for the White Sox, who won their sixth straight for their longest winning streak in two years and reached .500 for the first time this season.
Oakland lost its fourth straight and fell to 1-12 in day games. Scott Kazmir (2-2) gave up five runs — three earned — and seven hits in 4 1-3 innings.

As of September 2nd, 2018, I am…
Relieved by: so far being able to manage work, board memberships, volunteer efforts, and graduate school requirements. It's not neat and tidy, and I have never felt my life so full, but so far I've tightened everything down and tried to awaken every ounce of discipline and keep myself on task. It's working. Perhaps I'm a little bit surprised–but only because I've never had this many balls in the air. I won't waste too much time bragging on myself, lest I drop one.
Grateful for: the last week of open pools. This swimming season has flown by. We switched our pool membership this year, opting for the local club pool instead of the rec center water park. Fewer of Kel's students show up–not that it's a bad thing, but just that it's less relaxing when you're mobbed by little people incredibly excited to see you. Looking back at what I'd written just a couple of months ago, it's remarkable to see how far our kids have come as swimmers. Julia and Thomas have both earned their own passes; both jump off diving boards and into deep ends with nary a flotation device nearby. And Annie gleefully jumps in and doesn't want to leave. I'll be sad (especially since the weather's still hot) to not have this as a destination.
Also grateful for: the lurking autumn ahead. This weekend I mowed the lawn, and I gave it the fast-cut, not the careful, baseball stadium outfield job. In the next week or two, they'll plug it and sow new grass, and it'll be time to water and water and water, waiting for the new sprigs to appear. Hopefully all in time before the leaves all fall.
Enthused with: re-identifying myself as a student. It's been a looooong time since I've sat on this side of the desk, but so far, I've enjoyed engaging with our reading and exploring new ideas. It's nice to be in a classroom full of grown-ups (even if many of them are younger than me), and the discussions are welcome.
Working hard to keep: my exercise regimen. Next week it all spins into action: Jules and Thomas will be in school, and Annie starts back to preschool. I'm protecting the half hour I get each morning to jump on the machine and get sweaty. It's good for me. I drink one less cup of coffee when I work out, and I feel inspired to drink a lot more water than usual.
Keeping an eye on: my need to take a Z-Quil. None of these "gentle sleep aids" are supposed to be habit-forming, but I'm the kind of person who resents having to take anything with regularity. I've found when I work on grad school stuff–reading, writing, thinking, etc.–deep into the night, my brain has a hard time turning itself off and going to bed. It's in a productive mode. I take half a dose, and that's usually more than enough to send me off and give me a good night's rest. But I don't like it. This weekend, I haven't stayed up late doing work, and I haven't had any problems.
Excited about: Labor Day Weekend. I needed this long weekend. Kel and I are going to dinner tomorrow night, and I'm excited to have the one-on-one time. During the summer, it was easy to take for granted all of the family time we shared. Now, even just two weeks into the craze of the academic year, it's clear to see how little time we have to spend together and how important it is to make it worthwhile. We also started the new Jack Ryan series on Amazon with John Krasinski. Looks entertaining enough.
Testing sanity by: deciding to coach soccer again. WTH am I thinking?

A Victoria Primary School pupil was the winner of Carrickfergus College's open night brainteaser competition
Demi Bennett, a primary seven pupil, received her prize from maths teacher Mrs Bowers, Maths teacher when she accompanied the rest of her class to the college's taster day.
Congratulating Demi, Mrs Bowers said: "At the college we run brainteaser competitions every month, they are a way of getting a bit of healthy rivalry going between classes and to remind pupils that maths can be fun!".

As part of the escalation over islands built by China in the South China Sea, the country will begin training missions for its H-6K bomber. The plane, China claims, makes it a force in the strategic bomber portion of the weapons race. It is a formidable weapon.
The H-6K is one of a series of bombers originally based on a Russian model and built by the Chinese military. It has long-range capability and is made to, among other things, attacked U.S. ships at sea. It also ups the stake in proliferation of nuclear weapons.
A snapshot of the plane from some experts:
From Military Today:
The Xian H-6K is an updated version of the H-6 medium-range bomber. It made its first flight in 2007 and entered service in 2009. Other sources report that this bomber entered service in 2013. China operates at least 15 of these new bombers. Some sources report that China plans to replace the previous H-6D bombers with the new H-6Ks on a near one-to-one basis.
The H-6K is designed for long-range attacks and stand-off attacks. It is considered as a strategic bomber. It is capable of attacking US carrier battle groups and priority targets in Asia. This aircraft has nuclear strike capability.
From SinoDefence:
The H-6K is the latest member of the H-6 bomber family first flying on 5 January 2007. This variant features some radical modifications, including six under-wing pylons to carry an unknown model air-launched land-attack cruise missile; two Russian-made D-30KP turbofan engines; a solid nose replacing the original framed glass-in nose; and a completely refurnished 'glass' cockpit featuring six large multifunctional displays (MFD). XAC hopes that these modifications would significantly improve the performance of the 40-year-old design, thus extending its service life well into the next decade. (Note: The The Xian Aircraft Company (XAC) produces the bomber)
According to China-Military:
Among China's domestically built bombers, the H-6K features the longest range and maximum bomb capacity. It will play a significant role in safeguarding China both at sea and in the air. Because of its long flight time, it can fly over the Nansha Islands for reconnaissance, surveillance and patrols. During wartime, it is capable of dropping bombs and launching missiles, according to Cao Weidong, a military commentator.
If China want to menace it neighbors, it has picked a good weapon.

This chapter opens with setting and world-building, with much on the vastness of Rohan and the shortened lives of regular men.
Rohan itself has become defensive and insular, not just thanks to the corruption of their King but in a growing atmosphere of fear and separation. Middle Earth has many cultures and kingdoms, but by and large they exist spread out and distant from each other. I do like Tolkien's explicit acknowledgement of a common tongue here, the members of the fellowship and those they meet certainly have their own languages, yet largely speak the same. Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli have already met suspicion and distrust based on their outsider status, but here are met with guards deliberately using the language of Rohan to filter friend from foe. This is not an insignificant action in creating division between us and them, and is one that regularly causes us issues in modern life.
The continuing suspicion of Gandalf as a spy of Saruman is both logical and hilarious. The facts as known to the people of Rohan are that Gandalf and Saruman are of similar ilk and before now have always stood as allies. With the trouble seeping out from the White Tower, even mild paranoia suggests that Gandalf's presence is a ploy. Add in an agent such as Wormtongue bending the King's ear, and well none of this stands as shocking.
What does shock me is the fact that someone openly going by the moniker Wormtongue wormed his way into the King's confidence. There is nothing subtle about either his name or his nature. In Middle Earth people tend to bear names that with significance, be it inherited or earned. The name Wormtongue catches Gandalf's attention immediately, but my guess is that this is not due to familiarity with the individual, but with the weight of the name.
They definitely aim for shock and awe when making an entrance to the heart of Rohan. Yes, the traditional giving of names tends towards acknowledgement of lineage, but in context it feels as if there is a stress on their prestige, especially in conjunction with the speaking of the value of their weapons. I've spoken repeatedly about Gandalf as a Trickster, but his whole shtick with his staff makes me laugh every time.
Theoden first appears to us as an old man, worn down, suspicious, and afraid. It is heartening to see that the people of Rohan herald his restoration with joy, but the cynic in me doubts that Grima was the only bad seed. On the other hand, Tolkien tends to write his characters with strong alignments and nobility. Through stages, Gandalf brings Theoden back to himself, first by silencing Wormtongue, then through exposure and consultation, ending with an reintroduction Eomer who lays his sword at Theoden's feet.
In my mind, Hama is the unsung hero of this. He let Gandalf bend the rules and then fetched Eomer from his imprisonment.
Even when the tables are turned, Grima tries to talk his way out of it, and honestly makes a good show. He does have a gift with words and a turn of phrase, but his allegiance to Saruman is declared by Gandalf and Eomer confirms Grima's desired prize of Eowyn, which takes away any creedence given to Grima's words. They not only let Wormtongue go free, but they offer him a chance at redemption, similar to the mercy shown to Gollum again and again in this story.
For their services the party is gifted from the armory, though they needed little in way of armaments, and they make preparation to ride out in defense of Rohan. The placing of Eowyn as steward in absence of both Theoden and Eomer strikes me as a particularly striking decision. The Lord of the Rings (and The Hobbit) both have been noted for their distinct lack of women, hence why it's so easy for me to describe the different groups by phrases such as "the men of ____." But it is worth also noting that what women he did include are by and large quite notable in their strength. Galadriel may be the single most powerful elf in Middle Earth, though I do not know how she matches against those who have crossed to Valinor, Elwyn's story may be largely secondary in this trilogy but she still plays a significant role in Middle Earth, and Eowyn has her biggest moment yet to come.
There are some big diversions in the film from the text, starting off with a significantly earlier display of Grima's powers over the King of Rohan and an all-around effort to make him appear generally aesthetically unpalatable. He not only pulls Theoden's strings, but goes full creeper mode on Eowyn (which generally makes me go "ugh," but not nearly as bad as if he'd attempted sexual assault which is the all-to-common way of showing someone to be a lusting villain). There's also the addition of the death of Theoden's son (Eomer I believe is his sister's son), used as a prop to show how bespelled the King is when he fails to recognize the weight of the news.
I think Grima Wormtongue was done well, but part of me wishes they hadn't strove to make the character physically unattractive - all the book states is he has pale skin, and as Frodo says on meeting Aragorn, agents of the enemy are more likely to "seem fairer and feel fouler." What they did was effective, but wasn't a challenge.
The transformation of Theoden is very dramatic, and done to good effect. However, if Saruman is controlling Theoden as a puppet... what purpose does Wormtongue serve? Though I guess he does stand in as a puppet master for when Saruman has other things to do.
The real notable difference regards the actions of Theoden in the face of looming war. This Theoden does not appoint his niece steward and ride off to battle with his armies to defend his land (ultimately leading to a conflict at Helms Deep), but instead evacuates the city population for fortified stand against their enemies. I forgot about this difference, and had to re-read the relevant sections of the book to make sure I read correctly. The comic relief of Gimli with the too-large chain mail is no more than that - Tolkien explicitly writes that Gimli had no need of chain mail, having his own, and his time in the armory took place before they rode out.
I find Jackson's interpretations of Tolkien's women problematic. I greatly enjoy that he expands their rolls, but the downfall for Elwyn, Eowyn, and Jackson's own creation Tauriel, is his focus on the romance. Until significantly later, Eowyn's roll in the film is that of a fiesty but love-struck girl. Her unrequited feelings for Aragorn do play a roll in the story, but that's not the full story of who Eowyn is and what she achieves. I think Jackson missed a golden opportunity.

Abstract for:
Employment, Family Union, and Childbearing Decisions in Great BritainArnstein Aassve, Simon Burgess, Matt Dickson, Carol Propper, April 2004
Paper No' CASE 084: Full paper
Tags: employment and income; employment and the labour market; tax, benefits and pensions; pensions; wealth and social mobility; intergenerational and social mobility; children, families and education; children and child poverty; demographic transitions; marriage; divorce; birth; employment
Abstract:The paper investigates the relationship between work and family life in Britain. Using appropriate statistical techniques we estimate a five-equation model, which includes birth events, union formation, union dissolution, employment and non-employment events. The model allows for unobserved heterogeneity that is correlated across all five equations. We use information from the British Household Panel Survey, including the retrospective histories concerning work, union, and child bearing, to estimate this model. We obtain well-defined parameter estimates, including significant and correlated unobserved heterogeneity. We find that transitions in and out of employment for men are relatively independent of other transitions. In contrast, there are strong links between female employment, having children and union formation. By undertaking a detailed micro simulations analysis, we show that different levels of female labour force participation do not necessarily lead to large changes in fertility levels. Changes in union formation and fertility levels, on the other hand, do have a significant impact on employment rates.

How much more American can we get! Well, try not only serving the food at 4th of July gatherings on patriotic place settings, but dress for the role, and serve red, white, and blue food. Here are five cool ideas that are so neat they're hot!
1. Serve Bomb Pops for dessert positioned on classic red Fiestaware plates: Bomb Pops, red, white, and blue popsicles shaped like weaponry have been an American staple for over 62 years. Bomb Pops are the creation of James S. Merritt and D.S. Abernethy who came up with the idea in Kansas City, Missouri, July 30, 1955. If you want to make your own, check out this article for homemade Bomb Pop inspired treats!
2. If frozen treats aren't your thing, try a poke cake. One terrific recipe involves white cake laced with strawberry or cherry Jell-O and frosted with whipped cream. The top of the cake, which is usually baked in a rectangular pan, is decorated with blueberries and sliced strawberries to look like the American flag. Serve on ruby glass, vintage plates, or Depression glass plates in shades of blue or crystal clear. BettyCrocker.com has a great recipe for strawberry poke cake.
3. Red, White and Blue Slaw is a great recipe for Pinterest that would look amazing served in vintage serving pieces that feature the flag or patriotic scenes from The American Revolution. Look for dishes that feature the American eagle, presidents, Betsy Ross, The Statute of Liberty, or Martha Washington. The slaw recipe consists of blueberries, apples, and red peppers as well as cabbage slaw. The recipe comes from Sammi {Grounded and Surrounded Blog}.
5. Dress the part when you serve these treats. Wear red, white, and blue milliners' flowers in your hair, or combine red and white roses with bachelor buttons or blue hydrangeas. Flag printed vintage clothing and flag jewelry are very popular. Look also for hostess aprons and barbecue aprons in patriotic themes and flag prints.
Don't forget to dress up your table, either, with red, white, and blue linens, vintage salt and pepper shakers, and serving pieces. Dept. 56 made interesting 4th of July pieces that are now vintage, including a tiny, very detailed fireworks stand.
Uncle Sam became the United States' nickname in 1813, just after The War of 1812, which inspired The Star Spangled Banner. According to History.com, Sam Wilson was a meat packer who supplied beef to the U.S. Army. The name "Uncle Sam" was linked to him because the food he supplied was called "Uncle Sam's grub." Now you know "the rest of the story." Wave those sparklers, wave the flag, and take out those patriotic dolls.

The video below shows how different physical objects can be combined together to create a music piece. By looking at the video, I find out the changes of sound is similar to what we have today in the music industry. Those club music or even "Dubstep". This might be the start of our music generation.
A field Recording created inside Plymouth University. The audio includes a variety of sounds such as elevators, students, doors and stone kicking sounds. I have combined and recreated these recordings into a new soundtrack. Field recording sounded like a recording should be made with nature noises but I took a different approach and converted the idea into using sounds from indoors activity.
By archiving this soundtrack, I have discovered how indoor sounds could be as divergent as nature sounds. Sounds such as the elevator beep in 0:04 created the music note of A#. This is really interesting because we never think of indoor sounds could be a key in the piano. Also if we listen closely to the stone kicking noise at the end of the soundtrack, we can hear 2 beats every time stones were being kicked. This creates a rhythm as the snare drum sound in a drum kit. These findings are very fascinating as we find out that sounds around us could be created into a musical.
The sounds of students also tell us immediately that the soundtrack was taken in the university.
By comparing my soundtrack to the video, it is indeed not as fluent due to the limitation on objects. Sounds in my creation is generated by object inside a building and are mostly been built where sound in the video are more focus on movable objects such as bottles.

Peerless Battle Spirit - Chapter 109
Chapter 109 - Fighting The Tigers
Everyone at the dojo was startled.
Among the outer disciples, the Five Tyrannical Tigers were ranked sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth;everyone knew who they were, and they had a bad reputation due to their cruel manners. Those who were targeted by them would be severely injured at the very least.
Most importantly, even Nangong Cheng who was ranked first among the outer domain disciples would be hesitant to face the Five Tyrannical Tigers.
This caused many in the crowd to inhale deeply, as they glanced toward Qin Nan with a hint of pity, before discussing amongst themselves.
''Who is this guy? How did he offend Nangong Ershao and the Five Tyrannical Tigers?''
''I know him, he is Qin Nan who came first in the Trial of Versatility, and made history by achieving a thousand steps in the Mind-Seducing Ancient Bamboo Woods. Rumors said he even defeated a super genius!''
''So it's him. Looks like he's in trouble.''
''Why is that? Didn't he kill a super genius? Why would he be afraid of the Five Tyrannical Tigers?''
''First of all, it was just a rumor. Well, at least I don't believe that he's able to eliminate a super genius who has a higher rank than him. Although he is currently ranked fifth and has the ability to defeat any of the Five Tyrannical Tigers one on one, the Five Tyrannical Tigers are at their strongest when they fight together Qin Nan is mismatched against them.''
Despite discovering Qin Nan's identity, most of the disciples shook their heads as they assumed that Qin Nan was not strong enough to face the Five Tyrannical Tigers.
Only those who witnessed Qin Nan killing Ling Zixiao remained silent, and observed the event calmly.
Qin Nan frowned his eyebrows;he did not expect Nangong Ershao to join forces with the Five Tyrannical Tigers and find trouble with him at that instant.
Qin Nan was not afraid of them, but Li Hing's speech had caused his Martial Heart to change slightly;thus he was determined to return to his place and go into seclusion, and had no intention of wasting any time.
''I'm busy today. Let's talk another time.''
Qin Nan blurted out the words, before he turned around and started walking away.
Upon seeing this, Nangong Ershao burst out laughing cheerfully;in his eyes, Qin Nan was trying to escape as he was frightened.
The smiles on the Five Tyrannical Tigers' faces turned more hideous;with a flicker, they all landed before Qin Nan and surrounded him, blocking his way.
The leader of the Five Tyrannical Tigers, Da Hu, said in a gloomy tone, ''Trying to escape from our palms? Qin Nan, I heard that coming first in the Trial of Versatility has granted you incredible benefits. If you're smart, hand over the hundred thousand Xiantian Pills, the Nine-Rotation Golden Pill, and the storage bag at once. Although we are not allowed to kill anyone, a friendly duel is still acceptable as we are now at the dojo a severe injury would not be a problem!''
The other four tigers laughed ferociously, as their fists emitted cracking noises.
The reason they had agreed to deal with Qin Nan was first because of the benefits Nangong Ershao promised them, and secondly because of the rewards Qin Nan had received from the Trial of Versatility.
A hundred thousand Xiantian Pills, a storage bag, and the Nine-Rotation Golden Pill were considered a great fortune.
After hearing this, Qin Nan held his breath as his expression began to change and his mouth twitch.
He did not want to waste any time, but outside of his expectations, these Five Tyrannical Tigers planned to rob him of his pills, which reminded him of the nightmare that happened not long ago.
Qin Nan took a deep breath, and glanced toward the Five Tyrannical Tigers, before saying with a calm expression, ''I don't have any pills left;it looks like a friendly duel with you five is the only way.''
Following this, a ninth-layer Body Tempering Realm aura and the Saber Intent of the Minor Success Stage of the Arcane Realm burst out from Qin Nan's body.
At that instant, it felt like Qin Nan had turned into a giant with an overwhelming aura.
The crowd was astounded;they did not expect the rumors to be true, that Qin Nan had mastered the Minor Success Stage of the Arcane Realm. The aura he emitted caused their hearts to feel cold.
The Five Tyrannical Tigers straightened their faces;their gazes were no longer filled with disdain.
''So you've really mastered the Minor Success Stage of the Arcane Realm.'' Da Hu's eyes flickered with a hint of fury, as he said in a cold tone, ''But does it matter? Us five joining forces is enough to crush you!''
The words served as a signal, and they all unleashed their tenth-layer Body Tempering Realm auras and their seventh-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirits at the same time. Not only that, Da Hu also emitted his Greater Success Stage of One with the Weapon, while the other four had mastered the Minor Success Stage of One with the Weapon.
In just a moment, the Five Tyrannical Tigers had entered into their strongest state.
As Da Hu let out a roar, the other four moved swiftly into positions, gradually building a formation.
As the formation finished building, their auras and strength were merged together, turning into a huge mountain with a power greater than the tenth-layer Body Tempering Realm.
Many of the disciples were stunned as they blurted out in panic.
''Five-Elemental Mystic Radiance Formation, I remember it now!''
''When I was being targeted by the Five Tyrannical Tigers, they used the same formation to heavily beat me up!''
''Damn it, I too was defeated by this formation. After that, I found out from the books that only Xiantian Realm experts could break the formation with brute force;even those who had reached the half-Xiantian Realm could not do it.''
''This formation is terrifying indeed!''
These people who had voiced out were the top ranked of the outer domain disciples, with at least ninth-layer Body Tempering Realm cultivations. Despite that, they were still utterly terrified looking at the Five-Elemental Mystic Radiance Formation executed by the Five Tyrannical Tigers.
The Five-Elemental Mystic Radiance Formation was their unforgettable nightmare!
At that instant, Nangong Ershao, who stood at the side, could not help but raise his head and say in a mocking tone, ''Qin Nan, do you see that? This is what you get for offending me! Let me tell you that, apart from beating you up today, I'll rob you of all of your pills, and beat you up whenever I see you from today onward!''
''Is that so?'' Qin Nan did not even look at Nangong Ershao, as his eyes were locked onto the Five Tyrannical Tigers as he said, ''Today, I'll show you how to crush your Five-Elemental Mystic Radiance Formation!''
Qin Nan's eyes flickered and he immediately unleashed his Eyes of the divine Battle Spirit.
As his Eyes of the divine Battle Spirit had finished evolving, he was able to see through anything. He was able to discover the secrets of the Five-Elemental Mystic Radiance Formation with his eyes, instantly exposing the weaknesses of the formation.
The Five Tyrannical Tigers laughed disdainfully upon hearing Qin Nan's words.
Trying to crush their Five-Elemental Mystic Radiance Formation?
Only in his dreams!
''Stop wasting our precious time. Brothers, let's engage!'' Da Hu let out a huge roar, and the five tigers advanced forward while gathering a mountain-like aura which crushed down onto Qin Nan. Even the surrounding ground started to tremble;it was extremely intimidating.
''This is it!''
Qin Nan's eyes flickered as he lashed out with his attack at that instant.
Immeasurable Saber Intent arose and formed a huge saber;Qin Nan then grabbed the huge saber and executed his Mystical Eight Steps. Like a ray of thunder, he dashed forward and attacked with the virtual saber in his hand, emitting an incredible force onto one of the weak points of the Five-Elemental Mystic Radiance Formation!
A loud explosion could be heard. Following it, the Five-Elemental Mystic Radiance Formation that the crowd thought was invincible crumbled instantly like a fragile dead tree.
The Five Tyrannical Tigers' expressions changed rapidly;before any of them could react, the explosive aura caused by the crumbling of the Five-Elemental Mystic Radiance Formation was like strong lashes of a whip striking their bodies, causing them to let out cries of pain as their bodies were thrown into the air with pale faces.
Everything happened so quick that the crowd failed to react in time.
When the crowd finally gathered their thoughts, they could only see the Five Tyrannical Tigers moaning in pain on the ground, like they were daydreaming.
The previous, utterly scornful expression on Nangong Ershao's face froze, as his eyes were filled with shock.
The Five-Elemental Mystic Radiance Formation was destroyed?
The Five-Elemental Mystic Radiance Formation was destroyed with a single attack?
At that moment, the entire place fell into a dead silence.

This is a 3D printed dial. It is a revision of Markla's which he's put a couple different sizes of onto his control mechanism of death. Seriously, I haven't sailed his boat since it was installed purely because it will cause significant bleeding if you hit it.
The dial though is great, can't believe how much better the control is over the boat with a working dial. The actual part was easy to model (rhino), cheap to print (shapeways) and fit perfectly over the existing turnbuckle that was previously only used on land or when stopped on the water.

These cleaning pellets do a pretty fair job scrubbing metal foulings from barrel of my. 22s. I used 2-pellets per each time I shot them from my rifle(s). It took 5-shots..10-pellets to clean each rifle. The only downside to these RWS Cleaning Pellets is that 8-pellets out of 80 pellets were mis-shapen, short, or had a notch out of the side of the pellet. I did not use these for fear of damaging my rifle. Also, at 10-cents per pellet the cost is considerable..especially if there are mis-shapen/unusable pellets. Too bad as I like what I shot for cleaning. In addition..at 1/4" long they seemed short in length to me.
ProsUsable ones did good job.
Cons10% of pellets were unsatisfactory due to mis-shapen, short, notched. Cost-per-pellet (10-cents) would recommend to friend and advise him/her of pros & cons.

These work nice for a quick clean. Still follow normal routine for a complete cleaning periodically.
ProsFast and not overly priced.
ConsWish they were made heavier so you could fire only one at the time, instead of requiring two to prevent gun damage. Hard to load two at the time without other cleaning tools.

ProsPellets fit the bore well They do a good job of cleaning They are good to keep on hand
By Charlie
Nice to have but a bit deceiving
March 7, 2007
Realistically, you're supposed to have a rod of some sort to properly use these as stated in the instruction manuel found inside the packaging. I simply shot a few of them out like normal pellets so I'm not sure how good a job it did but I'm sure it did something...hopefully.

If you are like me, you are constantly trying to maximize your productive time each day.
But with a busy toddler running around, with serious needs like rescuing his dinosaurs, this is not always easy! Aside from encouraging independent play and having a toddler "help" with chores, I've learned that if I want to get stuff done I have to be creative. These are 5 unconventional ways you can maximize your productive time with littles at home.
Swap childcare with a friend.
A good friend of mine is also a work-at-home mom. Neither of us are full time, which gives us some flexibility. Sometimes nap time and post-bedtime is just not enough time to get our work done and take care of everything else we have to do. So we developed a schedule where we swap off childcare two hours a week. She takes care of my son at her house one afternoon and then her son comes to play at our house for two hours another day. Having two hours of uninterrupted time to get stuff done is life-changing. Plus our kids love having the extra playtime with friends. It's a win-win for sure.
Organize a craft day.
During the colder months of the year when occupying young kids can be challenging, a group of my friends and I organize a craft day. Usually on Wednesdays the four of us rotate between houses. One mom organizes a craft while another mom prepares the snack. The other two moms have the hour and a half to tackle their to-do lists or take some time to relax (I don't know that we have ever really done that! But it's definitely an option).
Find a gym with childcare.
The YMCA has been a valuable resource to me as a mom. At first I didn't realize how amazing the childcare aspect would be, but I quickly learned how 30 minutes on a treadmill can reset your day. Sometimes I utilize the café and write while Ezra plays with other kids under the watchful eyes of trained professionals. And other times my mom friends and I sip cheap coffee with powder creamer and pretend we are at a posh coffee shop.
Make some busy bags.
I'll admit, when I first saw these on Pinterest I thought, "No way. NO way will my busy boy be entertained with a bag of stuff." Busy Bags are little bags you make ahead of time with an independent activity inside. You just give your kid a few simple instructions and let them tackle it on their own. Although I was skeptical, I decided to make one just to see. I started with a super-easy one that didn't require many supplies or time from me. And guess what! My child sat at the dining table and played with the busy bag for 10 minutes straight. Now, this might not seem like a big deal to you, but for MY kid, 10 minutes of independent play is an accomplishment. If you are curious, I've put together 3 of the easiest Busy Bags on the planet for beginners so you can try them out. I also have a whole board of them on Pinterest + activity boards for Babies , Toddlers, and Preschoolers.
Find a "Mother's Helper."
Ever feel like you just need an older sibling for your little ones? Lucky you, if you have one hanging around, but if you don't maybe ask an older neighbor or family friend to help—someone who isn't quite old enough to babysit alone, but wants to start practicing. Pre-teens will love the extra $10 and you will discover you can get a lot done at home if you have someone entertaining your kiddos under your watchful eye.
