Serving as the president of a college or university has always been a demanding and challenging role. In the 21st century, it has only grown more complex, as schools navigate tight budgets, declining enrollments, evolving student demographics and a rising focus on student outcomes.
At the same time, colleges and universities increasingly are recruiting leaders from outside of academia. Recent research from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) shows that 40 percent of current college presidents began their careers outside of the traditional tenure track, including serving in corporate, military or government roles.
It's not surprising that presidents stepping into the role for the first time often seek out tailored training and development opportunities. Here are a few key considerations for new or prospective presidents as identified by experts in the field.
To start out, meeting the needs of higher education today requires both fresh perspective and some old-school leadership skills.
Dr. Jerry Sue Thornton, retired president emeritus of Cuyahoga Community College and Barnes & Noble Education board member, now works with first-time college presidents in the areas of higher education leadership, coaching and mentoring. In an interview with NEXT, she noted that she's seen both significant transformation and areas of consistency.
"The most dramatic change that I have seen in the role of a college president is the shift in funding patterns from enrollment-based to performance-based. This shift has led to an emphasis on outcomes like graduation rates — and a need for presidents to spend much more time fundraising and building up their foundations," said Dr. Thornton.
"However, high-performing leadership remains a constant area of focus for college presidents," she added. "They always need to engage in strategic planning and team building. As the chief leader of the college, they must motivate faculty, staff and administrators to be involved and invested in achieving the goals of the college."
A recent article in the Chronicle of Higher Education examined what a college president should do in the first year on the job. It featured a report from the Aspen Institute's Task Force on the Future of the College Presidency. The report recommends being "intentional" with plans and ideas, but also spending time on immersion and relationship-building. The bigger, splashy deliverables can wait until presidents have taken a deep dive into the college's challenges, established a presence on campus and set the tone for their tenure.
Joshua Wyner, vice president of the Aspen Institute and executive director of its College Excellence Program stated, "Coming into a presidency, you should have a hypothesis about where it is that the college needs to go. The key is to take that and really test and refine it."
The best way to test and refine? Engaging with as many audiences on campus and in the community as possible. That includes both participating in formal meetings of decision-making groups, like the faculty senate, student government and relevant committees, as well as informal interactions with students, faculty and staff on campus. Presidents should be visible and approachable at sporting events, in dining halls and even as a guest lecturer in the classroom. They also need to reach out beyond the campus community, getting to know local leaders and employers, and building mentoring relationships with board members and other college presidents.
Dr. Thornton pointed out that colleges may have specific leadership needs at different times — such as an institution facing pressing financial challenges. In those situations, schools may need greater expertise, though all college presidents should work to build experience in areas like funding formulas, maximizing revenue sources and developing and maintaining an efficient institutional budget.
However, she also asserts that, first and foremost, students and their educational outcomes must come first — before any other priority of the institution.
"The business of the college is the achievement of academic goals for students. That is the centerpiece around which everything else revolves: supporting teaching and learning," Dr. Thornton explained. "It is critically important that the college president be an advocate for student success and focus the entire institution on creating pathways toward achievement. That is why presidents must be able to not only create a strategic vision, but also lead and coalesce all members of the campus community toward fulfilling that vision."

4:17 - 4:23 "Dick extension". I already knew it looked fake, not because of the size, but because it just looked "off". From that period, it just proves it lol. I do like the "roleplay" though, very great deepthroating skills.
Is there a longer video of this
So, loved watching another redhead doing a sexy striptease as I'm told that I do a really sexy striptease myself!

> Chapter 16
Isaiah 16
American Standard Version
A Prophecy of Moab's Devastation
Send ye the lambs for the ruler of the land from Selah to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.
For it shall be that, as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so shall the daughters of Moab be at the fords of the Arnon.
Give counsel, execute justice; make thy shade as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; betray not the fugitive.
Let mine outcasts dwell with thee; as for Moab, be thou a covert to him from the face of the destroyer. For the extortioner is brought to nought, destruction ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.
And a throne shall be established in lovingkindness; and one shall sit thereon in truth, in the tent of David, judging, and seeking justice, and swift to do righteousness.
We have heard of the pride of Moab, that he is very proud; even of his arrogancy, and his pride, and his wrath; his boastings are nought.
Therefore shall Moab wail for Moab, every one shall wail: for the raisin-cakes of Kir-hareseth shall ye mourn, utterly stricken.
For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah; the lords of the nations have broken down the choice branches thereof, which reached even unto Jazer, which wandered into the wilderness; its shoots were spread abroad, they passed over the sea.
Therefore I will weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah; I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for upon thy summer fruits and upon thy harvest the battle'shout is fallen.
And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither joyful noise: no treader shall tread out wine in the presses; I have made the vintage'shout to cease.
Wherefore my heart soundeth like a harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir-heres.
And it shall come to pass, when Moab presenteth himself, when he wearieth himself upon the high place, and shall come to his sanctuary to pray, that he shall not prevail.
This is the word that Jehovah spake concerning Moab in time past.
But now Jehovah hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of a hireling, the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and of no account.

Hi crafty friends!
Stacey from Stacey's Creative Corner here to share with you a cute little card featuring the adorable stamp, Rae - Enjoy Simple Pleasures
I started out with a A2 white card base, layered some patterned paper on top and a white scallop die cut on top of that. I cut some cloud patterned paper & added some green patterned paper on top to create my scene. I stamped out Rae - Enjoy Simple Pleasures, colored her in with my Copic's and paper pieced her dress, bow and pinwheel. I added her to my outdoor scene and finished off my card with a die cut word, some crochet thread and a few sequins. I think she is so cute!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Don't forget about the Theme Week Challenge #22 going on in the Stamp Anniething's Stampers Facebook Group! Still plenty of time to play along.

The Williams Formula 1 team will partner rookie Sergey Sirotkin with returning driver Lance Stroll for the 2018 season.
In a related move, veteran driver Robert Kubica has been named reserve driver for the oldest privateer team on the grid.
The 22-year-old Russian impressed the team during an Abu Dhabi tire test but is also believed to have brought a check to the organization. However, he also beat Kubica in a head-to-head test during the test before the season finale. Sirotkin, 22, and Stroll, 19, will form the sport's most inexperienced tandem.
Claire Williams, deputy team principal, said in a press release that the decision to hire one of the two drivers was the result of an extensive driver evaluation process.
"We have taken our time to evaluate all the available options, and I'm confident Lance and Sergey can deliver the best results for the team," Williams said. "The Williams philosophy has always been to promote and develop young talent and Sergey fits right into that ethos. Lance has had a record-breaking debut season, and with a year now under his belt, he will be ready to hit the ground running in 2018. We have a talented driver lineup for 2018, that we are confident will deliver some exciting results for the team."

Forthcoming books this year
2 comments:
Ah spit! A Game of Battleships is not available on Kindle. Though it looks like the series is a Flashman knock-off I thought it might be fun, but, like yours, my bookshelves are over-flowing, and Herself is still sticking to her "one in means one out" policy for proper books.ReplyDelete
As for your comedy, to which I am greatly looking forward, surely the title must be about the man not the place - especially if you are thinking of a series (as I hope you are). "Sir Edric goes forth" or perhaps "Sir Edric's Temple" has got to be more appealing than "Hornska"
For some reason this comment was marked as spam, hence the delay in its publication.ReplyDelete
Yeah, I think "Sir Edric does/goes X" may be the better way to go. Sir Edric's Temple could work [I like 'Go Forth' as well but that could be used for almost any book].

Kumaon or Kumaun is one of the two regions and administrative divisions of the Indian state of Uttarakhand, the other being Garhwal. It includes the districts of Almora, Bageshwar, Champawat, Nainital, Pithoragarh, and Udham Singh Nagar. It is bounded on the north by Tibet, on the east by Nepal, on the south by the state of Uttar Pradesh, and on the west by the Garhwal region. The people of Kumaon are known as Kumaonis and speak the Kumaoni language.
Historically ruled by the kings of Katyuri and Chand Dynasties, the Kumaon division was formed in 1816, when the British reclaimed this region from the Gorkhas, who had annexed the erstwhile Kingdom of Kumaon in 1790. The division initially consisted of three districts, Kumaon, Terai and Garhwal, and formed the northernmost frontier of the Ceded and Conquered Provinces in British India, that later became North Western Provinces in 1836, United Provinces of Agra and Oudh in 1902, and United Provinces in 1937.
It is home to a famous Indian Army regiment, the Kumaon Regiment. Important towns of Kumaon are Haldwani, Nainital, Almora, Pithoragarh, Rudrapur, Kichha, Kashipur, Pantnagar, Mukteshwar and Ranikhet. Nainital is the administrative centre of Kumaon Division and this is where the Uttarakhand high court is located.[1]
Kumaon is believed to have been derived from "Kurmanchal", meaning land of the Kurmavatar (the tortoise incarnation of Lord Vishnu, the preserver according to Hinduism). The region of Kumaon is named after as such.
During the time of the British control of the region, between 1815 and 1857 it was also known as Kemaon.[2][3][4]
The Kumaon[5] region consists of a large Himalayan tract, together with two submontane strips called the Terai and the Bhabar. The submontane strips were up to 1850 an almost impenetrable forest, given up to wild animals; but after 1850 the numerous clearings attracted a large population from the hills, who cultivated the rich soil during the hot and cold seasons, returning to the hills in the rains. The rest of Kumaon is a maze of mountains, part of the Himalaya range, some of which are among the loftiest known. In a tract not more than 225 km in length and 65 km in breadth there are over thirty peaks rising to elevations exceeding 5500 m.[6]
The rivers like Gori, Dhauli, and Kali rise chiefly in the southern slope of the Tibetan watershed north of the loftiest peaks, amongst which they make their way down valleys of rapid declivity and extraordinary depth. The principal is the Sharda (Kali Ganga), the Pindari and Kailganga, whose waters join the Alaknanda.[6] The river Sharda (Kali Ganga) forms the international boundary between India and Nepal. The pilgrim route currently used to visit Kailash-Mansarovar goes along this river and crosses into Tibet at Lipu Lekh pass.
The chief trees are the Chir Pine, Himalayan Cypress, Pindrow Fir, Alder, Sal and Saindan. Limestone, sandstone, slate, gneiss and granite constitute the principal geological formations. Mines of iron, copper, gypsum, lead and asbestos exist; but they are not thoroughly worked. Except in the submontane strips and deep valleys, the climate is mild. The rainfall of the outer Himalayan range, which is first struck by the monsoon, is double that of the central hills, in the average proportion of 2000 mm to 1000 mm. No winter passes without snow on the higher ridges, and in some years, it is universal throughout the mountain tract. Frosts, especially in the valleys, are often severe.[6]
In the ancient period between 1300 and 1400 AD, after the disintegration of Katyuri kingdom of Uttarakhand, eastern region of Uttarakhand (Kumaon) was divided into eight different princely states i.e., Baijnath-Katyuri, Dwarhat, Doti, Baramandal, Askot, Sira, Sora, Sui (Kali kumaon). Later on, in 1581 AD after the defeat of Raika Hari Mall (maternal uncle of Rudra Chand) with the hand of Rudra Chand all these disintegrated parts came under King Rudra Chand and the whole region was as Kumaon.
The Katyuri dynasty was of a branch of Kunindas origin and was founded by Vashudev Katyuri. Originally from Joshimath, during their reign they dominated lands of varying extent from the 'Katyur' (modern day Baijnath) valley in Kumaon, between 7th and 11th centuries AD, and established their capital at Baijnath in Bageshwar district, which was then known as Kartikeyapura and lies in the centre of 'Katyur' valley. Brahmadev mandi in Kanchanpur District of Nepal was established by Katyuri king Brahma Deo.
At their peak, the Katyuri kingdom extended from Nepal in the east to Kabul, Afghanistan in the west, before fragmenting into numerous principalities by the 12th century. They were displaced by the Chand Kings in the 11th century AD. Architectural remains of the Katyur dynasty's rule can be found in Baijnath and Dwarahat.
The Rajbar dynasty of Askot in Pithoragarh, was set up in 1279 AD, by a branch of the Katyuri Kings, headed by Abhay Pal Deo, who was the grandson of Katyuri king, Brahma Deo . The dynasty ruled the region till it became part of the British Raj through the treaty of Sighauli in 1816.
The Chand kingdom was established by Som Chand, who came here from Kannauj near Allahabad, sometime in the 10th century,[7] and displaced the Katyuri Kings (? ?), originally from Katyur valley near Joshimath, who had been ruling the area from the 7th century AD. He continued to call his state Kurmanchal and established its capital in Champawat in Kali Kumaon called so, due to its vicinity to river Kali. Many temples built in this former capital city, during the 11th and 12th century exist today, this includes the Baleshwar and Nagnath temples.
They had brief skirmishes with the Rajput clans in Gangoli and Bankot then predominant there, the Mankotis of Mankot, the Pathanis of Attigaon-Kamsyar, Kalakotis and many other Khas Rajput Clans of the region. However they were able to establish their domain there.
One of most powerful rulers of Chand dynasty was Baz Bahadur (1638-78) AD, who met Shahjahan in Delhi, and in 1655 joined forces with him to attack Garhwal, which was then under the King Pirthi Sah. Baz Bahadur subsequently captured the Terai region including Dehradun, which was thus separated from the Garhwal kingdom. Baz Bahadur extended his territory east to Karnali river. In 1672, Baz Bahadur started a poll tax, and its revenue was sent to Delhi as a tribute. Baz Bahadur also built the Golu Devata Temple, at Ghorakhal, near Bhimtal,[7] after Lord Golu, a general in his army, who died valiantly in battle.[8] He also built the famous Bhimeshwara Mahadev Temple at Bhimtal.[9]
Towards the end of the 17th century, Chand kings again attacked the Garhwal kingdom, and in 1688, Udyot Chand erected several temples at Almora, including Tripur Sundari, Udyot Chandeshwar, and Parbateshwar. To mark his victory over Garhwal and Doti, the Parbateshwar temple was renamed twice, to become the present Nanda Devi temple.[10] Later, Jagat Chand (1708-20), defeated the Raja of Garhwal and pushed him away from Srinagar (in Uttarakhand, not to be confused with the capital of present-day Indian Kashmir), and his kingdom was given to a Brahmin.[11] However, a subsequent king of Garhwal, Pradip Shah (1717-72), regained control over Garhwal and retained Dehra Dun till 1757, when Rohilla leader, Najib-ul-Daula, established himself there, though he was ousted soon by Pradip Shah.
Niranjan Malldeo was the founder of Doti Kingdom around the 13th century after a fall of Katyuris Kingdom. He was the son of Last Katyuris of united Katyuris kingdom. Kings of Doti were known as Raikas. Later on Raikas, after overthrow Khas Malla of Karnali Zone, were able to form a strong Raikas Kingdom in Far Western Region and Kumaon which was called Doti. So far, the historical evidence of following Raikas have been discovered; Niranjan Malldev (Founder of Doti Kingdom), Nagi Malla (1238 AD), Ripu Malla (1279 AD), Nirai Pal (1353 AD may be of Askot and his historical evidence of 1354 A.D has been found in Almoda), Nag Malla (1384 AD), Dhir Malla (1400 AD), Ripu Malla (1410 AD), Anand Malla (1430 AD), Balinarayan Malla (not known), Sansar Malla (1442 AD), Kalyan Malla (1443 AD), Suratan Malla (1478 AD), Kriti Malla(1482 AD), Prithivi Malla (1488 AD), Medini Jay Malla (1512 AD), Ashok Malla (1517 AD), Raj Malla (1539 AD), Arjun Malla/Shahi (not known but he was ruling Sira as Malla and Doti as Shahi), Bhupati Malla/Shahi (1558 AD), Sagaram Shahi (1567 AD), Hari Malla/Shahi (1581 AD Last Raikas King of Sira and adjoining part of Nepal ), Rudra Shahi (1630 AD), Vikram shahi (1642 AD), Mandhat shahi (1671 AD), Raghunath shahi (1690 AD), Hari shahi (1720 AD), Krishna Shahi (1760 AD), Deep shahi (1785 AD), Prithivi pati Shahi (1790 AD, 'he had fought several wars against British & Gokha attack on Doti Kingdom. The Kingdom finally defeated and became a part of Gorkha the present Nepal in 1814 AD') [12] One of the biggest names among the Raikas of Doti is the name of Dr.K.I.Singh (from Dumrakot in Doti) who became one of the most famous Prime Ministers of Nepal had led the popular revolt that overthrew the autocratic Rana Regime. He is a national hero and TIME magazine in its obituary had referred to him as 'Robinhood of Nepal' and New York Times (NYT) and world media had carried news item when he breathed his last.

In the latter half of the 18th century, the power of Kumaon was on decline, as the king Mohan Chand was unable to properly administer the country. After the fall of Doti, the Gorkhas decided to invade over Kumaon. The Gorkha forces, under the leadership of Amar Singh Thapa crossed the kali river, and reached Almora via Sor and Gangoli. Mohan Chand fled to the plains, and Kumaon was easily annexed to the Gorkha Kingdom.
The Gorkha rule over Kumaon lasted for 24 years, and has been termed as "Cruel and Oppressive" in a number of texts. The only architectural advancements during the period was a road connecting kali river to Srinagar via Almora. Almora was the largest town of Kumaon during the gorkha period, and is estimated to have about 1000 houses.
After the Gorkhas started meddling in the territories of Oudh, the Nawab of Oudh, who was then a suzerain of the British Empire, asked for their help, thus paving way for the Anglo-Nepalese War of 1814. The British forces under Colonel Nicholas, consisting of about forty five hundred men and six ponder guns, entered Kumaon through Kashipur and conquered Almora on 26 April 1815. On the same day, Chandra Bahadur Shah, one of the principle Gurkha chiefs, sent a flag of truce, requesting to end hostilities in the region. A negotiation was brought up the following day, under which the Gurkhas agreed to leave the Country, and all its fortified places. The war ended with Nepal signing the Treaty of Sugauli in 1816, under which, Kumaon officially became a British territory.
Later, the region was annexed by the British. In 1815 the Kumaon region was joined with the eastern half of the Garhwal region as a chief-commissionership on the non-regulation system, also known as the Kumaon Province.[13] It was governed for seventy years by three administrators, Mr. Traill, Mr. J. H. Batten and Sir Henry Ramsay.
There was widespread opposition against British rule in various parts of Kumaon. The Kumaoni people especially Champawat District rose in rebellion against the British during the Indian Rebellion of 1857 under the leadership of the members like Kalu Singh Mahara.[14]
In 1891 the division was composed of the three districts of Kumaon, Garhwal and the Tarai; but the two districts of Kumaon and the Tarai were subsequently redistributed and renamed after their headquarters, Nainital and Almora.
Gandhiji's advent sounded a death knell for the British in Kumaon. People now aware of the excesses of British Raj became defiant of it and played an active part in the Indian Struggle for Independence.
Gandhiji was revered in these parts and on his call the struggle of Salam Saliya Satyagraha led by Ram Singh Dhoni was started which shook the very roots of British rule in Kumaon.[15] Many people lost their lives in the Saalam Satyagraha due to police brutality. Gandhiji named it the Bardoli of Kumaon an allusion to the Bardoli Satyagrah
Many Kumaonis also joined the Indian National Army led by Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.
After India became independent in 1947, United Provinces were converted into the newly formed Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. The princely state of Tehri Garhwal joined the Indian Union in 1949, and became a district under the Kumaon division. Three new districts viz. Pithoragarh from Almora, Chamoli from Garhwal and Uttarkashi from Tehri Garhwal were created in 1960. A new revenue division, named Uttarakhand division was carved out from these 3 districts of Kumaon division.
The year 1969 saw major administrative reforms in these hilly regions of Uttar Pradesh, and a new Garhwal division, with its headquarter in Pauri, was formed with the districts of Tehri Garhwal and Garhwal from Kumaon division, and Uttarkashi and Chamoli from Uttarkhand division. The Uttarakhand division too was disestablished the same year, and the remaining district of Pithoragarh was brought back to Kumaon division, hence giving it its present size.
Three new districts were created in the 90's, taking the total number of districts in the division to 6. Udham singh nagar from Nainital in 1995, and Bageshwar from Almora and Champawat from Pithoragarh in 1997. Two new districts, Ranikhet from Almora and Didihat from Pithoragarh were announced in 2011 by the then Chief minister of Uttrakhand, Ramesh Pokhriyal, but the districts never came into existence because no official notification was ever released.

Kumaonis have been famous for their valour, their courage was legendary, their honour indomitable. The Kumaonis were never fully subjugated by the powerful Muslim dynasties of Delhi. Kumaonis were observed by the British, their valour was thus given recognition by the British and was included in the British Army. The 3rd Gorkha Rifles was known as the Keemaon battalion when it was formed and it included Kumaonis as well as the Garhwalis along with the Gorkhas. The Kumaonis, once accepted as a martial race, were themselves to be recruited in the Hyderabad regiment and displace the native troops, ultimately becoming the Kumaon Regiment after Independence of India. The Kumaon Regiment is one of the most decorated regiments of the Indian Army. The regiment traces its origins with the British Indian Army and has fought in various campaigns including the two world wars. After independence, the regiment has fought in all major conflicts involving India. They showed their exceptional courage in the Indo-Chinese War, the Battle of Rezang La has been proverbial for valour.
Their Kumaoni language forms the Central subgroup of the Pahari languages.
Kumaoni is one of the 325 recognised Indian languages, and is spoken by over 2,360,000 (1998) people in Uttarakhand, primarily in districts Almora, Nainital, Pithoragarh, Bageshwar, Champawat, Udham Singh Nagar as well as in areas of Himachal Pradesh and Nepal. It is also spoken by Kumaonis resident in other Indian states; Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Delhi and Madhya Pradesh.
UNESCO's Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger designates Kumaoni as language in the "unsafe" category and which requires consistent conservation efforts.[16]
Although dialects of Kumaoni do not vary as greatly as neighbouring Garhwali dialects, there are several dialects spoken in the Kumaon region. There is not single accepted method of dividing up the dialects of Kumaoni. Broadly speaking, Kali (or Central) Kumaoni is spoken in Almora and northern Nainital. North-eastern Kumaoni is spoken in Pithoragarh. South-eastern Kumaoni is spoken in South-eastern Nainital. Western Kumaoni is spoken west of Almora and Nainital.
More specifically:
Scholars believe that Kumaoni has heavily influenced the Palpa language of Nepal. There are also several unrelated Tibeto-Burman languages spoken in the Kumaon region which have had some influence from Kumaoni.
These languages are typically spoken in Upper Reaches of Kumaon Himalayas.
With the aim to create a common platform for local communities of Supi in Uttarakhand, TERI launched 'Kumaon vani', a community radio service on 11 March 2010. Uttarakhand Governor Margaret Alva inaugurated the community radio station, the first in the state. The 'Kumaon Vani' aims to air programmes on environment, agriculture, culture, weather and education in the local language and with the active participation of the communities. The radio station covers a radius of 10 km reaching out to almost 2000 locals around Mukhteshwar[18]

Apple puts all kinds of functionality into OS X and then doesn't bother to update or improve it over the years. Take screen captures. Please.
There are keyboard shortcuts to capture a screen image (if you can remember them). And, there's the Grab app in the Utilities folder which seems more a remnant from the last century. Otherwise, when it comes to capturing elements on a Mac's screen, what has Apple changed?
App developers to the rescue. If you really want an easy way to grab a screenshot, or an image from an app, and get a few more useful features Apple doesn't provide, use my favorite– SnapNDrag Pro.
What you get is a dedicated Mac app which blends the basics of screenshot capture with features you want. Change the file format. Adjust the .JPG quality. Add a border. Resize. Change the file name.
Oh, and SnapNDrag Pro uses drag and drop to send an image from Apple's Mail.
One click captures a section of the Mac's screen. Saved screen captures can be organized in folders however you want, all from within a single, familiar app window that saves every capture; or just drag and drop to another Mac app.
Wait a minute. Doesn't that SnapNDrag screen look ominious and clumsy? Never fear. There's an even easier way to snap screen shots.
Use the Mac's Menubar to capture just what you want to capture; nothing more, nothing less.
Instead of worry about keyboard combos, or a dialog box, simply setup SnapNDrag Pro with the options you need, and use the Menubar to capture screenshots. Captured screenshots can be email, sent by Messages, or uploaded to Twitter and Facebook. Keyboard shortcuts area easily customized by Mac power users. And SnapNDrag Pro can run as a background app so it doesn't take up valuable icon space in the Dock.
SnapNDrag Pro captures images and stores them by date which makes it easier to find screenshots and easier to manage the files. Not bad for a few bucks. I just checked the Mac App Store and with over 800 reviews all but a couple dozen are five and four star reviews.

Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT)
Kate Waring
RTT is a hybrid therapy that has been developed by Marisa Peer over the past 30 years. It combines the beneficial principles of Hypnotherapy and talk therapies.
RTT can help you to break bad habits, free you from anxiety and help you be more successful in business and the performing arts. It can help increase focus and motivation, overcome fears and addiction and improves well-being overall.
Why is RTT so effective?
It works with the subconscious mind which enables us to get straight to the root cause of your issue. Using regression techniques I will guide you back to the moment those negative and limiting beliefs were formed.
Very often it begins in childhood when we are like sponges soaking up everything that is happening to and around us but without the experience to filter those events.
The subconscious is an incredible, and in comparison to your conscious mind, an extremely vast resource. It's like a vault where everything we've ever learned is stored. Experiences and thoughts can become embedded in the sub-conscious and turn into beliefs which shape how we feel about life in general and be the reason why we react to certain things in particular.
These feelings, habits and beliefs from a logical standpoint seem to make no sense to you but in spite of that your subconscious still drives them on regardless, causing you emotional, psychological or physical pain.
We are taught to navigate the world with our conscious mind. However change directed by the conscious mind can have limits. Using willpower alone makes it extremely hard to break the chains of bad habits or fears, anxiety and depression that are rooted in the subconscious mind.
To be able to make significant changes we need more than willpower and logic because emotion will override logic at every turn!
In order to create lasting change we need to connect with the subconscious mind and this is where Rapid Transformational Therapy excels.
During RTT we access the subconscious using hypnosis. Hypnosis is a completely natural state of inward focus. It is similar to the experience of a flow state much like being totally absorbed whilst watching a movie. Hypnosis induces an alpha brain wave and this optimal state allows you to bridge the gap between your conscious and subconscious mind which is the place that holds all the answers.
This heightened state of focus gives your mind more control – not less. The critical, chattering mind is bypassed giving us access to the moments those beliefs were formed, often many years ago. Using RTT I work with you to re-frame those old disempowering beliefs leaving you empowered and free to live life on your terms.
RTT helps you change perceptions and thoughts at the subconscious level. It also allows positive suggestions, like seeds, to be planted in the subconscious mind so new beliefs are able to take root.
RTT uses language that sparks and inspires the imagination. The words are customised just for you and the recording I make for you during our session is essential. You'll listen for at least 21 consecutive days after our session. This lays down pathways or connections between neurons and as new pathways are strengthened with repeated listening, new empowering behaviours become second nature.
In summary Rapid Transformational Therapy can help you:
- Break free from anxiety.
- Relieve stress, anxiety and fears.
- Perform at your very best.
- Ease pain and illness.
- Say goodbye to discouragement and guilt.
- Step into your brilliant future.
- And many more things…
Law of Attraction (LOA) Coaching
In addition to RTT I also offer law of attraction coaching which can be applied as stand-alone sessions. It is also incredibly effective when combined in a program that begins with an RTT session. During the program we first of all address the limiting buried subconscious belief with RTT then I walk with you through the process of learning about and applying the principles of law of attraction in your life. If you don't feel there are any limiting beliefs holding you back we'll just jump straight to the law of attraction and you'll learn how to manifest the life of your dreams.
LOA is based on a simple concept which is 'like attracts like' or 'thoughts become things'. Simply put what this means is you can learn to harness the power of your thoughts to improve any and every aspect of your life.
Thoughts are at the root of everything we create. Without thought, nothing would be created. So thought is the first step in the chain of events that create our reality, meaning the power to create comes from within us.
Science has proven just how powerful the mind and the imagination actually is, it has shown us that the thoughts we think wear 'grooves' in our brain. Or to put it another way, every thought we think fires and wires neurological patterns in our brain which if held and thought often enough will ultimately become beliefs.
A belief is just a thought you have called to mind consciously or unconsciously many times.
These patterns then determine how we see the world. Dr Wayne Dyer puts it succinctly, 'We don't see the world as the world is, we see the world as we are'. That means that if we think the same thoughts we'll only ever get the same results.
- If you always think the same thoughts you'll always make the same choices.
- If you always make the same choices you'll always do the same things.
- If you always do the same thing you'll always have the same experiences.
- If you always have the same experiences you'll always feel the same emotions.
- If you always have the same emotions you'll always think the same thoughts.
You can use LOA to learn to choose to turn your thoughts towards how you want to feel and be. This in turn leads to you living a healthier life, achieving more goals, building better relationships, improving your financial situation. It helps you to do all of that as quickly or as slowly as you want. LOA is not just about creating a great future life it can also improve and enrich your life as it stands right now.
I will guide you through the theory, principles and practices of law of attraction to help you understand how it works, the science behind it (Quantum Physics) and how to make it work for you and your circumstances.
You will be learning and applying practical tools and techniques that will help you move towards and achieve all of your goals.
If you would like to learn more about the science I can highly recommend The Field by Lynne McTaggart and Mind to Matter by Dawson Church.
About Kate
I was personally trained by Marisa Peer as a Rapid Transformational Therapist and Hypnotherapist and by Carolyne Bennett as a Law of Attraction teacher.
Having been on my own healing journey I am 100% of the belief that we humans are here to truly immerse ourselves in the enjoyment of living and to find and fulfil our life purpose. As babies we all came onto the planet knowing that we were loveable, enough and that everything was available to us. The negative beliefs that hold us back are acquired along the way and therefore not part of who we truly are.
With this in mind I see all my clients as being intrinsically healthy, happy and whole. It is my most sincere wish to help you shed the beliefs that you have acquired in order to help you re-discover the truly wonderful and limitless human being that you are.
If your thoughts and inner self-talk stay the same then so does your reality. It is my mission to use Rapid Transformational Therapy and to teach the principles of the Law of Attraction to help you step back into your power and start living the life you want.

Don't replace inheritance tax – just get rid of it altogether
Finally, a proposal to abolish inheritance tax. Polling shows that it is the least popular tax in the country. It is unusual in that regard: often particular taxes are disliked by those who have to pay them, but liked by those who do not. With inheritance tax, however, the majority of the population is against it even if they will never have to pay it themselves.
People simply think it is unfair. It is inhumane, too, hitting families at a difficult time when they are grieving. It is a tax on aspiration – on the urge to provide a better life for one's children – and it punishes prudence, discouraging people from saving for future generations.
The proposal to abolish it, unfortunately, is not all...

University of Colorado at Boulder
FROM: Denver International Airport (DEN) TO: the Mathematics Department (or Hotel):
By Bus. If you are willing to walk a little, the RTD SkyRide can be a convenient way to get from the Denver International Airport (DEN) to the Boulder mathematics department. Catch the AB bus from the Transit Center below the Westin Hotel at the south end of the terminal. Exact fare in cash is required. The schedule is here.
To get to the math department, ask the driver to let you off at the Broadway and Euclid stop. This leaves you on campus. Then walk to the math department (this is about a ten minute walk).
The hotels are also a short walk from there, so this can be convenient for getting to your hotel as well.
By Shuttle. You can also take the Super Shuttle to the hotels or the math department (if the shuttle asks for the street address of the math department, it is 2300 Colorado Ave, Boulder, CO 80309). There is a counter in the terminal where you can buy a ticket, or you can make a reservation online in advance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will $250 even cover 1% of the cost of college?
With the enormous cost of higher education, we would not expect a low-income family to save nearly enough to cover the full cost of postsecondary education. These funds will be invested and over time have the ability to grow. And even small amounts of money saved can make a difference in whether a child eventually ends up attending and graduating from college.
Research indicates that children from low-income households with savings for college of just $1-499 are three times more likely to attend college and four times more likely to graduate than low-income children who do not have savings accounts for higher education. Having savings for college helps build children's expectations and fosters a college-bound identity, in which children see themselves as someone who will go to college. And, research shows that children and young adults' expectations have a strong impact on whether they do, in fact, attend college.
Is this College Savings Account just like a regular savings account at a bank?
No, this College Savings Account (CSA) is called a "529 Plan" which are versatile savings accounts that offer federal, and sometimes state, tax benefits, while minimizing impact on financial aid. They are operated by a state institution, and are designed to help families set aside funds for future college and K-12 education costs which get invested in a diversified portfolio to maximize growth potential based on the age of the student beneficiary.
CSAs are long-term savings or investment accounts that provide incentives (e.g., initial deposits or savings matches) to help children and their families—especially those from low-income households—build dedicated savings for postsecondary education. They are a concrete way for communities to invest in the future of every child.
What is a 529 Plan?
A 529 plan is a special savings account designed to encourage early, affordable and consistent saving for college or any other form of postsecondary education. While a person can save money for college in any type of account, 529 plans provide certain advantages for those who intend to save money for higher education.
There are many benefits of a 529 plan. They include:
Upon graduation from 12th grade at Healdsburg High School, each student will be able to request funds from their individual 529 account as long as they maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA and complete a FAFSA or similar application. The funds are only allowed to cover qualified post-secondary education expenses such as college tuition, trade school, apprenticeship, and more.
Why do we need to work with the families?
The family is where any true expectations of college and its financial reality exist. K2C streamlines the process for families to start a college savings account through enrolling at Healdsburg Elementary and Healdsburg Charter Schools. The ease of enrolling school removes some of the biggest barriers for families. During school events, teachers and school staff can reinforce the message that they believe every child has a bright future and families should be looking forward to the day when their elementary student will graduate from high school and continue to pursue their educational goals.
K2C helps overcome other barriers families may face, such as a lack of funds to establish an account, by giving the initial deposit that is typically required to open an account and securing the seed funds for the accounts with up to $250 to spark future saving.
Do I or my student have to have a Social Security Number (SSN)?
No you do not need a SSN to open an account. If your student does not have a Social Security Number or Tax ID Number (ITIN), before your student graduates from high school, he or she would need to obtain a Social Security Number or Tax ID Number.
How can I contribute to my child's account?
Parents, employers and extended family members are encouraged to participate in donating to their student's account. Options for deposits include mailing a check or cashier's check, direct deposit from a paycheck each month or wiring funds. For more information on how to make a deposit, please contact the Healdsburg Kinder2College office.

When a despot king discovers ancient technology that could help him destroy his enemies he is outsmarted by an old digital human that invades his mind with a plan to conquer the real world.
So…. what's the plot? What's the script about?
And who is the protagonist? Who is the audience supposed to identify with and root for?
And who is the antagonist/nemesis?
What is the objective goal that frames the plot?
What are the stakes?
>>>>with a secret plan
As Blake Snyder (of "Save the Cat" fame) might say were he still in the land of the living: that's hiding the game ball. A logline shouldn't give away the ending, of course, but it has to show the game ball, the object or objective that everyone is fighting over.
This sounds like the setup to the story, not the story itself.
Agree with Richiev and dpg.
A logline should ideally be under 35 words or so. You've used 31 just on the inciting incident. It's never easy, particularly with some of the world building you are trying to do but, in my opinion, the following things are unnecessary – "Golden Kingdom", the fact it's a "metal" cave, actually… the cave itself is irrelevant too, the technology comes from the "Old Ones", that they're fighting a "sacred war". This could reduce the inciting incident down to "When he discovers ancient technology that could destroy his enemies"… you can then leave the character description for the next bit… "a (insert characteristic) Emperor…".
While we're on the inciting incident, this should be an event that upsets the balance in the protagonist's life thus creating his goal to correct it. The inciting incident here is about this ancient technology and the goal… well there's not really a goal at the moment but it's either something to do with destroying his enemies or to do with this digital human. I imagine it's more likely something to do with the latter and, if that's the case, the inciting incident should line up with this and be about the digital human invading his mind.
He shouldn't be sending a search party, he should be going himself. Otherwise the action for the audience is simply him waiting for them to return… that's not visually interesting. Send him out – a protagonist should be proactive.
Basically, strip this back and work out what is essential information that the reader needs to know to understand your story. Find an inciting incident and a goal that are on opposite sides of the same scales and tie it all together.
Thank you.
Before: When the emperor of the Golden Kingdom finds out there is a metal cave filled with ancient technology from the Old Ones that could destroy his enemies in the sacred war, he sends a search party to retrieve everything, but he is surprised by a digital human with a secret plan who invades his mind.
After: When a despot king discovers ancient technology that could help him destroy his enemies he is outsmarted by an old digital human that invades his mind with a plan to conquer the real world.
Still a work in progress. There are two other characters besides the emperor/king that I think could be protagonists. It's possible I will change things to have a more proactive protagonist.

The realization that the beaches of my childhood on the New Jersey shoreline are gone is sinking in. The magnitude of the big black hole in my heart is almost unbearable after viewing the images of the devastation.
As I sat in quiet thought a few things become clear in my mind this morning. One, although many of the people I know are suffering through this, they are safe and uninjured and have the chance to help someone who has been less fortunate. Two, this is another opportunity to care for each other and show what a strong sense of community this nation has and three, with every ending there comes a beginning. The reset button has been hit hard and the big guy upstairs is giving us a chance to rebuild not only our homes but our hearts.
This is actually a blog I posted a while back and for those of you reading that have never been to the New Jersey coast I think you will relate to the sweet memories that are created when a family vacations together wherever that may be…
Much Peace, Love and Light is being sent to the whole East coast today.
Ahhh, it's the week I've been waiting for…vacation in Wildwood, New Jersey a place I haven't been since senior week in high school. Wow, how things have changed!
The very first morning I got up early to walk the boardwalk and take in the view. I'll admit at first sight I was very disappointed. This place I loved as a child was no longer the same in any way, shape or form…or so I thought.
Many of the quaint little places I remember have been torn down and condo's stand in their place. The stores on the boardwalk still sell beachy items like shovels, buckets and hats should the mood strike you to build a sand castle with a moat. I was saddened by the many shops of the past that have been replaced by establishments offering tattoos, body piercings and adult theme T-shirts. Rooftop miniature golf places were converted into bars. What I once remember being a family environment left me struggling and questioning society's values once again.
When our children walk down the boardwalk they are bombarded with lewd posters and t-shirts with images of the local sports mascot flipping the finger at them rather than a fudge maker exhibiting his craft, or a salt water taffy machine churning out the sweet confections we would never think about going home without.
I think the most shocking revelation for me was that there was no reaction from children or their parents as they were passing by these sights. Have we become so callused by our surroundings that we just accept what is dished out to us as acceptable? Do we not use these experiences as a tool to teach kids anymore like our parents did? "Holy Mother of Manners" people! Whatever happened to teaching our boys to hold a door for the elderly and the ladies? And teaching our girls to expect it and respond with sincere gratitude?
I returned to our room wondering how to make the best of my time on this vacation. Certainly some of the things in my memory still existed. Not everything changed, right?
By 10:30 that morning Joe and I were on the beach at the point. With our umbrella set up and a beautiful breeze blowing, we headed towards the water with fishing rods in hand. After twenty minutes or so of "catching and releasing" I felt a calmness drapped over me, the feeling of peaceful oneness with your surroundings that we always hope to attain on a vacation. I wandered back up to sit in the shade of our umbrella for a bit.
After a few short minutes of taking in the view I watched as a crowd formed around a man with something on his line. Everyone was smiling, pointing and talking with each other discussing all the possible sea creatures he might reel in. I felt myself pulled into the mix with camera in hand ready to capture the "money shot" of his prize. Waiting in anticipation of his catch, I looked around at everyone gathered there…all strangers joined by one common wish. We wanted him to reel in the catch of his life. We all wanted to be a part, to feel his accomplishment and happiness. My thought bubble was suddenly burst when his line broke and a loud gasp burst forth from the mouths of all those watching him. We all laughed and discussed all the possibilities one more time before retreating back to our places on the beach.
I found a great deal of joy in thinking that this was just a ploy by the big guy upstairs to gather us together, all unknowingly for the benefit, support and happiness of another human being. My guess is…he had an "ANGEL FISH" on his line that was now swimming out with the tide to reappear somewhere else further down on the beach for another group of people who needed to feel the same joy of being a part in something good and connecting with each other.
As I laid in my chair mulling over this happy thought, I realized that regardless of our surroundings and external influences we have the opportunity to find happiness in so many little things. The sinking sensation in my gut of feeling buried in the unavoidable change happening in this world was starting to subside. It was then I heard it!
The caw of the "Fudgie Wudgie" guy! (a.k.a. The ice cream man) He was here on the beach in the flesh, I had forgotten about him. I was in awe of his ability to draw the young and old. My heart smiled wide as I watched the little ones run to his side like the Pied Piper. His cry was music to my ears. I yearned to be brought back to my childhood on this trip and to share that journey with my kids. Since they had not yet arrived to join us, I snapped a few pictures to show them. I sat back in my chair wondering how many more things would bring me back.
I awoke to the sound of the rest of our family plunking down their chairs, coolers and towels and the giggles of my two young nieces kicking off their flip flops and running to the water. Without missing a beat my own two teenagers with their cousins buried their cell phones in beach bags and starting digging a hole, building castles and burying anyone that would stay still long enough.
Not very long after mermaids and messages appeared in the sand all to be wiped away with the incoming tide leaving only the memories of our day together on the beach to remain…just like when I was growing up. All was not lost.
My mood lightened as the minutes/hours ticked by quickly. The day became night and I looked forward to spending time on the dock with family having cocktails and dinner together. It was my turn to cook and I decided it was Asian night. Joe would grill Teriyaki chicken and I would whip up pasta salad and my friend Melanie's fabulous Asian garden salad.
There was no pool at the cottage where Joe's family was staying and since the boys had taken off for the day to another friend's house on a jet ski I decided to take my daughter Haley and my niece Erin over to the pool at our hotel for a while before dinner. As I watched them splash and dunk each other in the water I heard what sounded like a bicycle bell behind me. I assumed it was the ice cream man making his way along Surf Avenue. As I stood up I realized it was a "Huckster" selling fresh fruit and vegetables! This was a pleasant blast from the past that I have written about in previous blog entries. These Hucksters used to come into City neighborhoods during the summer selling their goods that had been picked fresh from the farm that morning. I quickly jumped up and snapped a picture trying to explain how cool this was to the girls. I do however think that Haley and Erin would have preferred the ice cream truck!
Midweek we took a ride to Cape May, an old Victorian beach town about 30 minutes outside of Wildwood. I remember staying in Cape May only a handful of times as a child. It amazed me that all the historic homes still remained and had been maintained so beautifully.
We had lunch at Fisherman's Warf, a well-known landmark, before returning home for my niece's 8th birthday party that evening.
My oldest sister Mary was the only one of my seven siblings that had a summer birthday. I don't really remember ever celebrating her birthday while on vacation but what a wonderful and exciting time that would have been to do it at the beach.
I am happy to say my future sister-in-law Jaime recognizes the importance of celebrating her children's birthday by decorating their rooms after they are asleep. I have always done this for my family and walking into a kitchen in the morning that is filled with streamers and balloons is always the highlight of their day. This small gesture validates their existence as being a necessary and joyful part of other people's lives.
As we enjoyed eating cake and watching Victoria opening her gifts, I felt honored to be present for her special day and grateful that I had finally opened my eyes to witness the real gifts I was being given on this vacation. It was then I had a moment of clarity about my expectations for this trip. I realized that my memories were mine alone to share, not to recreate for my children. Their memories will come from times like this when family is gathered to spend time with each other.
Later Joe and I walked down the dock in the moonlight and noticed a sign on the light pole about a "dock party" on Saturday evening, our last night of vacation. I asked Joe's sister about this and she explained that every year this small water community called "Grassy Sound" celebrates one night during the summer season for no other reason than fellowship and getting to know each other. Some of the homes in Grassy Sound have been there since the 1800's and though most have been updated, there was something quaint about those that showed their history through warped wood and peeling paint.
All the homeowners plan a theme and decorate their docks keeping it a secret until that night. Our theme was the Philadelphia Phillies of course because it would be an understatement to say Joe's family are the biggest sports fans ever. The excitement for the kids was building all day as we decorated our dock with lights, streamers, flags and banners. We dressed up to show our Phillies spirit and tattooed our faces.
Our dock neighbors created other themes like Luck of the Irish, Halloween in August, Pirates, Chinese New Year and Super Hero's (the best one other than ours of course! ;0)
We spent the next couple of hours walking up and down the docks talking, eating, listening to music and socializing with everyone. I met several new people like a lady from England who coveted my hillbilly wineglass all night, LOL and asked me to send her three of them for her friends, and there was Chris, my nephew's friends Mom with whom I had the pleasure of talking to for quite some time about "what truly is The Good Life".
To my amazement the people that seemed to enjoy the festivities the most were the teenagers who smiled, looked us in the eyes as they asked how we were doing…and they really wanted to know. They were not on the expensive commercialized boardwalk that night trying to be cool. No, they were fishing off festive docks, playing games and hanging out with their families. The pleasure showed on their faces and they gleamed with tremendous pride to be a part of this small community celebration.
This experience was the epitome of what I talk about here on this blog, Friday Night Family fun! Memories for my kids were being created right here in Wildwood, New Jersey where I vacationed as a child more than thirty years ago creating memories of my own. Some things have changed, yes, but Angelfish and the Fudgie Wudgie guy still exist…in everyone of us.
You don't need a vacation at the beach to throw this type of Friday Night Family celebration. All you need is a gathering place where there are other people, a few driveways in your neighborhood or a common area in your apartment complex. If you do decide to do this, please send me some pictures to post and share with all my readers.
Remember "treat your friends like family and your family like friends".
Thank you for reading my blog, I hope that while everyone digs themselves out of this mess you will ponder the memories of your childhood vacations with gratitude in your hearts for the experience and look forward to the rebuilding of all the communities along the east coast. Take care of each other, better memories are yet to come…

So I'm watching this introduction video for Xamarin Live Player, https /youtu.be/Pz47uh7DukU which states having to grab the Xamarin Updater from Visual Studio Marketplace https /marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Xamarin.XamarinUpdater
I click on the Download button but the page merely keeps reloading itself and nothing else happens. Anybody else encountering this problem?
Alternatively, I installed Xamarin Updater from within Visual Studio itself with its Extensions and Updates interface. Initially when I tried that, I couldn't find Xamarin Updater, but subsequently I did find it.
Although, right now I don't see anything special > No Live Player target device to deploy to.
I think you only need the Updater if you want to switch to the Beta or Alpha channels. You don't need it if you're on the latest version of VS 2017, but you do have to go into the Tools > Options and enable Live Player.
Good luck getting it to actually build and work on a real app
This is no longer needed at all, just standard install and tools > options enable it via docs.

Before Birth
Even though they aren't visible, a child's baby teeth begin forming before they are even born.
4 Months Old
At around 4 months old, the primary teeth begin pushing through the gums. Even before your baby's first tooth erupts, you can use a warm clean washcloth to gently swab the gums clean after every meal.

It seems that Blogger has a problem with their ATOM. It didn't get updated, even though i have post something or "touch" it by updating the post. I have had this problem before and i can solve it by updating the post, but not today. It has happened in the last two days. I noticed it because none of my posts were displayed in Planet Terasi. I hope they will solve this problem ASAP
Update (19:36 PM): I hope it's fixed now as i can see the updated atom file from my Slackware system.
