Russia and Central Asian countries are becoming more involved in the Afghan conflict. An international conference in Uzbekistan suggests the rise of IS in the region is a reason for alleged ties with the Taliban.
Uzbekistan hosted a two-day Afghanistan peace conference in the capital Tashkent this week. Attending were more than 20 countries – including representatives from Central Asian countries, the United States, Germany, China, Pakistan and Russia.
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, his Uzbek counterpart Shavkat Mirziyoyev and the European Union's top diplomat Federica Mogherini were among the high-ranking officials who participated in the meeting.
With Taliban representatives missing from the event, the scope of the conference was limited, but Uzbekistan and Afghanistan are hoping to strengthen regional consensus to end the 17-year-long violent conflict in Afghanistan.
Kabul has been seeking direct negotiations with the Taliban since 2010, but the militant group has never shown any real interest in talks with Afghan authorities. The jihadists, on the other hand, have expressed desire to talk to US officials, whom they believe hold the key to ending the protracted Afghan war.

Michael Kugelman, a senior associate for South and Southeast Asia at the Washington-based Woodrow Wilson Center for Scholars, believes that Uzbekistan saw the Afghan peace conference as less of an opportunity to demonstrate its willingness to be a key player in launching Taliban talks and more as a chance to gain recognition from the international community as a credible, peace-loving country.
"The previous government in Uzbekistan had a bad global reputation, thanks in great part to human rights abuses, and it was not particularly well received in the West," Kugelman told DW, adding that by taking on a leadership role in the latest effort to kick start peace talks with the Taliban, Tashkent hoped to reinvent itself as a more benign player on the global stage.
For Afghanistan, the conference was about building a stronger consensus around its latest peace offer to the Taliban, recognizing the militant group as a political party.
The peace offer has been received with concern and skepticism by the former Afghan Northern Alliance, which played a key role in ousting the Taliban regime during the 2001 US invasion of Afghanistan. The Alliance members have close ties to Central Asian states.
Analysts point out that the Afghan government wanted to convey the message to former Northern Alliance commanders that negotiations with the Taliban would be beneficial for all parties.

Uzbekistan's own militancy problem
Uzbekistan has been dealing with its own Islamist insurgency, aided by militants based in Afghanistan. The presence of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) in Afghanistan remains a major concern for the Central Asian country. The IMU wants to overthrow the Uzbek government and establish an Islamic state governed by Sharia Law.
"I think Afghanistan and Uzbekistan want to address each other's concerns with regards to groups that pose a regional threat," Wahid Muzhdah, a Kabul-based security analyst, told DW.
The IMU was formed in late 1990s. It fought alongside the Taliban, who in return gave the group sanctuaries inside Afghanistan to launch attacks in Central Asia.
Since the collapse of the Taliban regime in 2001, the IMU has moved its bases along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region and has been struggling to find allies. Its ties with the Taliban and Pakistani militant groups deteriorated after its longtime leader Tahir Yuldashev was killed between 2009 and 2010 in a US drone strike.
"The Taliban do not have any foreign agenda and are only focused on Afghanistan. This has pushed groups like the IMU towards 'Islamic State' (IS)" Muzhdah added.
The Uzbek government is now trying to reach out to the Taliban to isolate the IMU and IS, analysts say.
"Uzbekistan is aware that a major source for conflicts on its soil originates from across the border, and that Afghanistan is key to its own security," Siegfried O. Wolf, director of research at the Brussels-based South Asia Democratic Forum (SADF), told DW.

Taliban 'elements' interested in talks: US defense secretary Jim Mattis
'Trump administration has zero patience for Pakistan's terror policy'
Russia pulling the strings?
But any Uzbek move to deal with the Taliban needs Moscow's backing, experts underline.
Russia has increased its involvement in Afghanistan. For many experts, this is surprising, because Moscow had maintained an apparent distance from the Afghan conflict for many years. In fact, Russia even supported the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 and the subsequent toppling of the Taliban regime. At the time, former Afghan President Hamid Karzai rightly said that Afghanistan was probably the only place where the interests of Moscow and Washington didn't clash.
But a new geopolitical situation is emerging in the region, and it seems that Russia has decided not to remain "neutral" in the protracted conflict wracking the Asian country.
Read more: 'China and Russia want US out of Afghanistan'
Russia first established contacts with the Taliban leadership in 2007 to discuss the issue of drug trafficking through Central Asian countries that share borders with Afghanistan. Now there are reports that Moscow is again in contact with the Taliban. But this time the Moscow-Taliban contacts are not limited to talks on drug trafficking, according to analysts. Russia, they say, realizes the US policies in Afghanistan have failed, and therefore wants to intervene.
"Russia may have been chased out of Afghanistan several decades ago, but now it appears keen to re-enter the scene in a big way," Kugelman said.
Russia fears that Afghanistan may become another safe haven for IS after Iraq and Syria. Experts say Moscow wants to make sure that doesn't happen in close proximity to Central Asia.
Analysts say the Afghan conference hosted by Uzbekistan has Russian backing as Moscow does not want to be seen as directly involved in the conflict.
General John Nicholson, the commander of US forces in Afghanistan, recently said the US has evidence suggesting that Russia is supplying arms to the Taliban.
"Taliban have assured Russia and Central Asian countries that it would not allow any group, including the IMU, to use Afghan soil against any foreign state," Muzhdah said.
Despite the mistrust between NATO and Russia, Moscow still believes that a peaceful resolution of the Afghan conflict could make it easier to isolate and target IS militants.
"This is a case where Moscow may conclude that the tactical advantages outweigh the strategic disadvantages," Kugelman said.
At least 26 people have been killed and another 52 injured after a suicide bomber blew himself up during Persian New Year's celebrations in Kabul. The "Islamic State" group has claimed responsibility for the attack. (21.03.2018)
The president made the offer at the second "Kabul Process" peace conference in Kabul. Attendees are trying to find ways to end an insurgency that began after the US-led ouster of the Taliban in 2001. (28.02.2018)
Neither the Taliban nor the government in Kabul is in a position to win the war in Afghanistan. But a peace deal between the two would damage the already delicate rule of law in the country, says DW's Florian Weigand. (28.02.2018)
"Islamic State" has once again chosen to target Shiites in its latest Kabul attack that killed at least 26 people. Experts say the group is trying to create sectarian rifts in the country and use them to its advantage. (21.03.2018)
US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis has said he thinks victory is still possible in Afghanistan's long-running war. Flying into Kabul on a surprise visit, he said some Taliban rebels were signaling readiness to talk. (13.03.2018)
The US is aiming to impose aid restrictions on Pakistan. In an interview with DW, analyst Michael Kugelman says if there's one US administration likely to take a hard line against Pakistan, it's the Trump administration. (17.07.2017)
While Washington searches for a new Afghanistan strategy, Moscow has not been waiting for the Western coalition to get its act together and has been reasserting its geopolitical clout in the war-torn country. (05.05.2017)

The Curious Incident of the BOOM in the Night-Time
The other day, I woke up and checked my email (I wish I could rewrite this sentence as, I woke up and had sex, but I'm single now and this is what my life has become). There was an email from my ex-boyfriend. The email had no subject. It was sent at 6am. I debated opening it. Nothing good can come of this, I thought. The last time I opened an e-mail from this guy, he used the word cumdumpster in a sentence.
Curiousity got the best of me. I opened the e-mail. The e-mail said: BOOM.
That's it. BOOM. Not BOOM! My life is so much more awesome without you in it! Or, BOOM! I'm engaged. Or, BOOM! I'm drunk and listening to the Black Eyed Peas, BOOM BOOM POW, BOOM BOOM POW.
Just: BOOM.
I did a spam check. It was sent from his real email, and it was only sent to me.
What could this mean? I thought. Could this be a death treat? An apology? A secret code? Could he have been so drunk, he only got to BOOM, and then fell asleep, head first, unto the SEND button?
I fleetingly thought of calling him, but could I say? Did you mean to BOOM me?
I know what you're thinking. I'm spending too much time on this BOOM situation. But I'm a writer, and I want to understand motivation.
BDGS readers--any ideas???

Are you trapped in a relationship in which one party lives for the action of Super Bowl Sunday while the other doesn't give a damn?
Never fear, the clever folks of Kimpton hotels have a solution for an amicable (if temporary) split. On Feb. 4, send the football fan to Topaz Bar for an all-American Super Bowl party with "Lovie Dogs" chili dogs with sweet potato fries (two for $9), "Hail Manning" potato skins ($6) and "Dungy Dip" potato chips and French onion dip ($3), among other team-themed snacks and cocktails.
Quite a different scene will unfold at Bar Rouge's Super Bowl spa day, where reruns of "Desperate Housewives" will beat out the game for screen time and from 6-9 p.m., guests can get mini manicures and hand massages ($10 a pop). The bar will be shaking up discounted frilly cocktails, like the Liquid Revival (brandy, bitters, simple syrup and Sprite for $6). A full bar menu will also be available.
Both events will run from 3 p.m. to midnight.
Miss your honey during the game? Lucky for you, the bars are only a few blocks apart.

Seriously where did the month go? It can't be the end of January already, can it???
I did manage to finish 2 quilts this month. The first is a t-shirt quilt that's already gone to it's home and is for a boy who is graduating in May.
This was my inspiration -
This was my interpretation -
All of the t-shirts were about 15x15 so that's what I cut all of the big blocks. I only had a few small blocks to mix in, thus the reason for only 2 skinny rows.
I like how the top turned out. Definitely will give it a try again.
The pictures of the 2nd quilt are out of focus, so I will try again tomorrow.

Stanley Stupi
Stanley Stupi, Bud Stupi's uncle recorded November 15, 2013.
Excepts from the recording.
Bud Stupi: I remember the chemicals at that time, I have leukemia now, and I'm pretty sure I got it from when I worked at the Continental Oil Company with the benzene. But a lot of people down in Wagner's Point, died of cancer and related things. There was so many chemical places down there.
(29:09-35:10) Stanley Stupi: But in the evening the smoke, gas, you could see it yellow, yellow looking stuff, just like a yellow cloud. Spring time when wife was wanting to go wash the windows you had to use a razor blade to scrape the windows odd, that's how that stuff was.

Shine your chrome and grease your gears for the summer music series at Parilla Grill. By Annissa Anderson for Commute Options
Get ready to show your spokes at the annual Show Us Your Spokes concert series at Parilla Grill. The summertime concert series that benefits Commute Options and Rise Up International will be grooving one weekend night for each of the next six weeks.
Show Us Your Spokes celebrates musical talent in an outdoor venue with discounts for concert goers who pound the pavement or spin their spokes to get there. A $6 per person concert fee is discounted to $5 for anyone who bikes to the concerts at Parilla Grill, located on the Galveston and 14th roundabout on Bend's Westside. Parilla Grill serves global burrito-style wraps for lunch and dinner, as well as beer, wine and margaritas.
The concert series, which has been running for several years, incorporated its bicycling theme in order to reduce vehicle parking at the shows, said Jeff Dearing, owner of Parilla Grill. The concerts are held outdoors in the restaurant's parking lot. "It's fun to have an event that is about people riding their bikes," said Dearing. "It brings awareness that it is possible to get around on your bicycle instead of driving," he said.
"The Show Us Your Spokes concerts are quintessentially Bend summer lifestyle," said Jeff Monson, executive director for Commute Options. "Walking and biking to summertime concerts lets the fun begin the moment you leave your house. No traffic jams or parking lot hassles."
A portion of funds raised by the concert series over the last several years have helped to support a variety of Commute Options' programs. Commute Options provides year-round services to businesses, organizations and individuals to assist them in choosing alternate modes of travel for getting to work, school and around their community.
The series presents a range of musical styles, from rock to bluegrass and blues to hip-hop. "I try to have a lot of local artists present, to give them a local venue," said Dearing. Dearing works with several local business sponsors, like Boneyard Beer, and others who sponsor prizes for raffles between acts at the shows. He is also assisted by local musicians, like Mark Ransom (The Mostest), in getting the musical acts lined up.
"For great tunes in a festive outdoor atmosphere at a really reasonable price, grab your helmet and a few friends and head to Parilla Grill's summer concerts," said Monson.
Commute Options promotes choices that reduce the impacts of driving alone. For more information about Commute Options, contact Jeff Monson, Executive Director of Commute Options at 541-330-2647 or visit www.commuteoptions.org. Annissa Anderson is a freelance writer and PR consultant in Bend.

ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_Ì´å«Scandal.ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_ÌÎå´ That one word pretty much summarizes the Obama administrationÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇs second term ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´å from Benghazi-gate, to the IRSÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇs all-out war on hundreds of conservative organizations, to the Justice DepartmentÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇs ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_Ì´å«criminalization of journalismÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_ÌÎå´ through targeting, harassing and seizing the records of news reporters and editors.
And thatÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇs in addition to the many other Obama scandals, from his illegally waged war against Libya and his policy of targeted assassinations of Americans (both designated by a bipartisan panel of constitutional experts as ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_Ì´å«clearly impeachable offensesÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_ÌÎå´) to the Justice DepartmentÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇs disastrous ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_Ì´å«Fast and FuriousÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_ÌÎå´ gun-running operation which resulted in at least 100 deaths ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´å and countless other outrages.
Yet, the mother of all Obama scandals ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´å indeed, the root of all the rest ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´å receives little attention from the press. In fact, most Americans have never even heard an explicit reference to the primary scandal of the Obama administration. That is the sole focus of the June issue of WNDÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇs acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine.
As Whistleblower Editor David Kupelian says in the issue, headlined ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_Ì´å«OBAMAÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇS WAR ON CHRISTIANSÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_ÌÎå´: ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_Ì´å«Just scratch a little below the surface of all the current scandals, and the mother-lode comes fully into view.ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_ÌÎå´

ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_Ì´å«Who populates these organizations? What beliefs and values animate them? By and large, they are Christians and Jews who strongly hold to a traditional, biblical, Judeo-Christian worldview.ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_ÌÎå´
Continues Kupelian: ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_Ì´å«HavenÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇt you wondered why the Obama Department of Homeland Security warns law enforcement departments that the real ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_ÌÎÌ¥extremistÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇ threats to America are from pro-lifers, patriots, constitutionalists, amnesty opponents, gun enthusiasts and military veterans? HavenÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇt you scratched your head trying to figure out why the U.S. military recently threatened to court-martial Christian service personnel just for sharing their faith with others?
ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_Ì´å«The hard truth is: Barack Obama considers traditional, freedom-loving, center-right Christian America ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´å not Marxism, not Islamism, not a toxic culture nor a stagnant economy ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´å to be his biggest enemy, his greatest obstacle to fundamentally transforming America.ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_ÌÎå´

Diploma of Higher Education in Criminology & Psychology (DHCrP)
This program is aimed at providing the entry qualifications to a range of professions that involve preventing and investigating crimes and other deviant behaviors of people.
Both areas of criminal and forensic studies involve a great degree of understanding and predicting human behavior and thinking patterns.
Thus a dual qualification in criminology with psychology to facilitate and enhance your career is ideal for those who are interested to work with law enforcement to solve crimes, provide expert testimony in courts and do criminal profiling.
This is a well-established field in the other parts of the world and soon will become popular in our region with the tendency of making the criminal investigations more transparent and in line with international justice standards, making our prisons more humane with more correctional emphasis.
Students could either continue with the same combination for the final year or to switch the fields entirely in to psychology.

In previous articles, we've delved into the meaning of Whole Person Development or the concept that individuals are made up of a blend of multiple components. To become successful, we must nurture all these components within ourselves to ensure self-actualization and fulfillment. The six components are emotional intelligence, physical, spiritual, social, psychological, and professional. However, it's not enough to know what the six components of Whole Person Development are; we must also understand the function of each component and how best to nourish each one.
What is Emotional Intelligence?
Emotional intelligence (EI) pertains to your emotional leadership. In other words, how you affect others and as a result, how others perceive you. Emotional intelligence isn't necessarily something you can learn. You can, however, train yourself to become more aware and encourage EI growth by trying new things and leaving your comfort zone. In other words: get comfortable with being uncomfortable. It's these situations that awaken our mind and help us learn. In turn, as we learn we strengthen and expand our emotional leadership.
So how does one grow their emotional leadership? Here are two ideas to get you started today:
Step Outside of Your Comfort Zone
Try something new and eye-opening. Immerse yourself in a different culture, by forgoing a resort-style vacation in favor of an exotic exploration. Experience a different lifestyle by volunteering at a homeless shelter. Anything that will help open your eyes to the world around you and make you more aware of the various circumstances in which people live.
From a business perspective, consider engaging in some networking activities. Take the time to chat with co-workers in different departments at work. Approach your boss about learning a new skill, or taking on a project that scares you. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
Listen to Understand
Understand before you're understood. As humans, we're conditioned to listen with the intent to reply, rather than listening to understand. Changing this habit takes time and practice, but results in far better emotional leadership. Allow yourself the chance to connect with someone, rather than rushing to respond. Ask yourself questions about the conversation, to better receive the message: why is this person talking to you? What are they saying? What are they not saying? What do they want? What do they need you to know?
Your goal is to understand their perspective. The next time you're in a conversation wait until you have a complete understanding of the context before responding. If you don't understand right away, ask for clarification and elaboration. Remember, an emotionally intelligent person is capable of entertaining someone else's ideas and perspectives, even if they don't agree with what's being said.
Challenge Yourself
Now it's time to take what you've learned here and apply it to your daily life. Challenge yourself to ask two or three more questions than you would usually during a difficult conversation. In all likelihood, this exercise will make you uncomfortable at times, but it will also help you learn and expand your emotional intelligence. You'll be surprised how much easier these conversations will become over time.

I had this lovely lighthearted post all set in my head for today's word – organize – but then I got home and went through my social media feed and … I just can't. Life, as any other show, must go on and, while I absolutely can't lose sight of the finals I need to prepare for / write up or the to do list a zillion items long for the competition one week from today, I just can't bring myself to focus on those things in this moment.
My heart is bleeding and broken, for sure, but mostly I'm angry – I'm fucking furious – and I need a constructive outlet to channel that force. The energy that each of us carries inside is an incredibly powerful tool when directed with intent. All that remains is to decide on my path.
None of us has the option of pretending this isn't our fight. None of us has the option to request deferment because Reasons. None of us has the option of resting on our laurels. The critical piece isn't so much what each one of us does to bolster the fight / fighters –> it's just that we each do what we can.
Some have been fighting this fight for ages on the front lines. Right now it feels like the front lines are everywhere and that's because it's true. Some have stepped up alongside to solidify those lines. Some have joined the impromptu rallies this evening to support. Some have used the power of their dollars to support. Some have used the power of their calling and others the power of their art.
Starting by acknowledging, then analysing, then adjusting your own attitudes and assumptions and activities is a necessary step. It's where we all begin. When you've fought tooth and nail for what you've managed to carve out, the idea of someone calling out your privilege is painful. I'm not saying you should pretend that pain isn't there –> I'm saying you need to recognise it and let it go. Move past it. If you get caught up in the reactionary viewpoint that you worked hard and are therefore somehow exempt, you've missed the point. For all that the challenges that have shaped you are important –> this isn't about YOU. Acknowledging privilege isn't a defamation of your character or a questioning of your integrity or a devaluing of your work ethic.
No one is asking you to give up your seat at the table. You simply need to scoot the fuck down and make room for others to join –> even and ESPECIALLY if those others don't look like you, think like you, talk like you, dress like you, love like you, fuck like you, etc. Don't worry, the table has magical properties and adjusts to fit the size of the group. Your share isn't going to be smaller because there are more people. In fact, you're likely to get a better piece of whatever deliciousness is being served at this gathering.
That said, you are being asked to understand that you aren't the best choice to sit at every single table on the planet and to realise that you don't have an inherent right to sit at any and every table you may come across in this life. You also don't get to weigh in when other people are selecting the tables that are right for them. You may well have an opinion about the size, colour, and shape that might best suit the specific table for the space under consideration but so the fuck what? Remember how opinions are like assholes? Well, in this case –> it's entirely possible that you're the asshole.
I keep coming back to the idea that if people could just actively choose NOT to be assholes as they move through their lives, we'd go a long way toward peace and understanding.
- Don't assume you're not an asshole because you consider yourself a nice person. Lots of nice people are assholes on a regular basis.
- Don't assume you're not an asshole because your social circle contains one token "other" on the fringes that you've said 'hi' to more than twice. Vaguely knowing one person that's not part of your demographic identifiers doesn't count as diversity.
- Don't assume you're not an asshole because you're a member of a marginalised group. Turning this into a melee where people are actively fighting against each other for the same meagre scraps tossed negligently by those in power isn't a viable solution.
Work actively to find and root out your personal, internal assholery. Because this infection of homegrown terrorism isn't going away. The time for the yummy bubblegum flavoured antibiotics has passed. It isn't going to be resolved quietly and calmly. Quiet and calm is what has allowed bigotry and hatred to fester and spread. Now we're mired in pus. So work to clean the wound and excise the damaged tissue. Choose to be a part of the solution.
And, at the end of the day, don't be an asshole.

Noting that factors like globalisation, economy and technology have changed the entire landscape of legal education in the country, Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today said super-specialisation in law would be in vogue in times to come.
Noting that factors like globalisation, economy and technology have changed the entire landscape of legal education in the country, Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today said super-specialisation in law would be in vogue in times to come.
"Between three-pronged factors — globalisation, economy and technology — the entire landscape of legal education has changed, and hence you no longer have to concentrate on the traditional concepts of legal education like criminal and civil suit law," he said.
"To become a successful lawyer, one has to improve upon the traditional legal educational concepts. In coming days we may find the traditional concepts hardly being used and super-specialisation will be the order of the day in legal field," Jaitley, himself a noted jurist, said.
The minister was speaking during the inaugural ceremony of the new campus of the Law College administered by Karnataka Lingayat Education Society here.
Jaitley said globalisation has impacted the landscape of legal education and it will be counterproductive to de-globalise it.
"As I was on my way to the venue here, I read in a newspaper about Brexit (Britain's exit from the European Union). Brexit itself has contracted and narrowed down the economy. So, the consequences will be far more difficult to imagine today," he said.
Noting the contribution of the Services sector in India's economy, he stressed the need for training people to ensure the country's growth.
"The Indian economic resources extend from agriculture to industry but when one actually breaks up the Indian economy, 60 per cent is services. And globally, India is a bigger powerhouse as far as services sector is concerned," he said.
"Therefore, if India has to grow in services sector, the human minds need training to succeed," he added.
Earlier, the Union minister inaugurated the new campus of KLE Society's Law College. About 1,200 students from across the country are trained by 36 qualified and well experienced faculties at the college.
The campus is wi-fi-enabled with internet access facility is provided to students and faculty.

"[The students] get immediate feedback. They are able to go back online and take a look at why they missed the question or how they can work to get that question right the next time."
– Mr. Kelley
Since Mesa Public Schools introduced the 1:1 initiative, teachers and students at Red Mountain have begun to rely on online testing. Testing online saves materials by cutting down on the paper and pencils usually needed for traditional paper tests, is more flexible and gives students more immediate feedback than traditional testing.
"There's not as many hard copies," Beginning Computer Maintenance student and junior Raylen Bartlett said. "And you have the Internet at your disposal to all the students."
With online testing comes quicker grading for teachers. The computers can grade the material faster than the teachers are able to, they can get the answers back to the students in seconds. This, in return, allows the teachers and students to move faster in their subject areas.
"[The students] get immediate feedback," AP Computer Science teacher and RMTV director Mr. Kelley said. "They are able to go back online and take a look at why they missed the question or how they can work to get that question right the next time."
However, there is one major disadvantage to testing online, dependence on an Internet connection. Without reasonably fast Wi-Fi, nothing online can be done, and it is the biggest problem students and teachers have when it comes to online testing. If the Internet is down, then teachers are forced to adjust their lessons for the day.
"What happens when you go to the copy machine room, and it was broken?" Mr. Kelley said. "It's a rare enough entity where you need to modify instruction. That's the teacher's job, to monitor and adjust curriculum on a daily basis."
The adjustability of online testing is another reason it has become popular with teachers. It's easier for teachers to change the test or instructions on an online test compared to a paper test where it must be reprinted.
"To be able to look at the data, that's the biggest benefit of online testing. The second is the speed of it," geometry teacher Mrs. Witting said. "Students are getting feedback a lot faster."
The future will determine if the benefits outweigh the cons, but for now online testing is here to stay.

The price of vainglory
I just finished reading "Gems of Divine Mysteries" by Baha'u'llah. This was one of the required reading for a class which also includes study of the "Kitab-i-Iqan". The Gems is similar in style to the Seven Valleys and it describes severals Cities of God as stages of spiritual development. These Cities are, of course, metaphors and are not limited to physical aspects they imply. Thus traveling between them, as well as the distance between them, is not limited to physical measures. Reaching a station is the result of detachment. Loosing this station is the result of pride and vainglory:
Know, moreover, that should one who hath attained unto these stations and embarked upon these journeys fall prey to pride and vainglory, he would at that very moment come to naught and return to the first step without realizing it.
– Baha'u'llah, "Gems of Divine Mysteries", paragraph 109, page 74

Stewart in Arts for the Parks Top 100!!
"Room After Room" receives the Judges Award of Merit at the 2005 National Arts for the Parks Competition.
Mark's painting Room After Room received the Judges Award of Merit at the September 17 Annual Awards Gala of the 2005 National Arts for the Parks Competition. The painting will now tour the country with the National Arts for the Parks 2005 Top 100 Exhibition. One of the most prestigious art competitions in the nation, Arts for the Parks was established 20 years ago to focus attention on the beauty of America's national parks. Thousands of artists from all fifty states enter paintings of every size and medium depicting National Park wildlife, water features, rock formations and landscapes.
As an interior scene, Mark' s entry, Room After Room, is something of a departure from most of the Competition images, which are generally landscapes or wildlife. The painting presents a succession of intricately carved interior doors in the Mission Concepcion in San Antonio, Texas.
See the in-depth study of Room After Room or find out more information about Arts for the Parks.
About the National Park Academy of the Arts
The Arts for the Parks competition was created in 1986 by the National Park Academy of the Arts.
The program is designed to celebrate representational artists, to enhance public awareness of the National Parks and to contribute to programs benefiting the National Park System.
It is an annual competition honoring artists who have best captured the spirit of our National Park System.

A systems engineer interviewing for a position was given 15 minutes to document the requirements for a peanut butter sandwich. In the systems world "getting it right" is vital to the success of a software project. It also helps in many other facets of life. When George Eastman, the great industrialist who founded Kodak (remember film?), did not like the shape of his conservatory situated in the middle of his grand 35,000 sq. ft. home, he spent over $20 million (in todays dollars) to have his house cut in half and reshaped by 15 feet. Talking about Feng Shui!
The fact is, not "getting it right" up front can lead to expensive backtracking. "There is never enough time to do it right, but there is always enough time to to do it over". More than half the IT development projects undertaken in the United States come in late and over budget, and this is largely to due to not getting a clear idea of what is being asked for (1).
Communicate? To get things right you need to be a great listener, and this means listening with an open mind, especially when you are an expert in your field and have already done twelve projects "just like this one". Edward de Bono writes of a 60 second test to see if you are genius. How would you divide a cake into eight pieces with just three cuts of the knife? The answer (email me ) demonstrates how sometimes we need to break out of our "thought ruts" to see what is really going on around us. As Mark Twain put it, "To a man with hammer, everything looks like a nail".
On your next project, be it upgrading your company's database or planning your daughter's wedding, make the investment to get a clear picture of the requirement before you begin. Here are a few things to consider in defining the requirements for your next project:
- Start with getting a clear picture of WHY you are doing what you are doing.
- Next try to define the objectives of the project. What needs to happen for us to consider this project a success?
- Distinguish between Needs and Wants. Not everything is critical. Identity those results that are most important.
- Knowing you can always add more functionality (complexity), identify core objectives and eliminate anything that can be addressed later.
- Spend more time thinking about what results you want rather than getting bogged down into the details of HOW to achieve them. You can worry about that later.
- Identify time, money, quality and other constraints. You may need to tailor your objectives in light of these.
- One technique used in software engineering is to create "Use Cases". Use Cases describe a sequence of events or a scenario that conveys how the system should interact with the users (called actors) to achieve a specific goal or function. One use case for a wedding may be: Band plays "Its Only Just Begun", Groom and Bride proceed to dance floor. Components required: Band, Song, Groom, Bride, dance floor...
- With most projects there is a lot of information to pull together and make sense of. Using a MindMap will help you manage all the details while still getting a fix on the big picture.
- Don't worry about getting a complete picture at the outset; just worry about knowing that there is a picture. An iterative approach is commonly used these days, because it is inevitable that as the project moves forward and more is known, new requirements will be discovered and priorities will change.

bestwebdesignagencies.com Partnered with Mobile+Web DevCon Announces All New IoT Talks
Naples, FL, January 27, 2017 --(
)-- Mobile+Web DevCon is excited to announce for its 5th annual event, it will be hosting a full dedicated track for IoT talks. Back in San Francisco, March 1-3, 2017, the conference is a must attend event for any developer or engineer looking to expand their skills in iOS, Android, IoT, UX, web and cross-platform development. Attendees will leave with key takeaways and solutions for mobile app and web creation and design essential to their business strategy.
The IoT talks featured help attendees considering opportunities in IoT development to explore what's available to them, as well as see what top companies, including GE, Amazon and Google, are working on in the space and how to harness these technologies.
Speakers include Jack Mannino, CEO of nVisium, who brings over 15 years of experience in software security. In his IoT talk, he'll explore MQTT - a popular messaging protocol used in IoT applications and telemetry and sensor networks - attacks against the protocol as well as common implementation flaws. He'll demonstrate how attendees can identify issues within their code and MQTT infrastructure, and how to mitigate these issues within their own code.

Hey friends, in this post, I decided to write down a bit about my mix making process. I wanted to do this to order a few of my own thoughts, as well as share my process in the hopes that others would share theirs. I want to know how you differ. To start, click play on the mix and keep reading.
1) My process is visual
My process around making music and mixes is very much rooted in the visual. I imagine a place or a scene, and I try to reflect that in the music. While I was making this mix, I pictured a long, sunset walk through the snow, with occasional reflections of light. I think I did a decent job of capturing what that could sound like.
For the album art, I look for photos that either match my mixes' mental image or can add to it in some way. I pick images with a variety of objects in the depth of field for two reasons: 1) So I can weave the text between photo elements, 2) So the words "Parkcast" exist within the context of the image.
After picking the image (usually from Unsplash), I like to apply a series of textures and overlays to it. I'm aiming for the photo to take on a semi-illustrated effect. This photo was too monochrome for me so I applied few colour layers and a sunset background to give it the sense that it's dusk. I darkened/burned some central mountains so the white text doesn't get lost so much. I don't care too much about perfect legibility. The added benefit of this is if I post the image to Facebook, the text scanner is not likely to flag the image. FYI - images with more than 20% text get less reach than photos without text.
2) Picking Tracks
Typically over the course of the month, I collect between 50-100 new tunes (or tunes that are new to me) that typically fit the "vibe" of a Parkcast and place them in a folder. I'll also go back into my music library and pick a few older tunes that I think should see the light of day again. All in all, I had a folder of about 200 songs to choose from for this mix. When I decide on an image that I'm trying to represent, I make a secondary playlist and pick tunes that fit that specific vibe from the overall Parkcast folder. This way I limit my options to only those that fit with what I'm going for. From there I treat it like I'm DJing and try to pick songs in sequence based on a rough flow. I always like to start and end with songs that are more melodic or unconventional. Stuff that sets the stage and closes things well.
I always make sure to include one or more of my songs. It's a good way to get use out of songs that haven't been released yet or to see how they flow in the course of the set. Plus it's a nice bonus for listeners. I also edit quite a few songs for length and flow. This mix includes a tune I wrote in November that is tentatively called "Feel Alive", though I might change that.
This episode is definitely influenced by artists like David DK, Kiasmos, Stimming, and other artists that walk the line between emotional, shimmering electronic music, and dancefloor friendly stuff. I think the very first track perfectly captures the "shimmering snow" vibe that I was going for.
I'm currently traveling to visit family for Christmas, so I didn't have any access to DJ gear. I made this mix using Ableton and a set of headphones. Some purists get grumpy over mixes not made the old-fashioned way (aka with turntables), but I don't have an issue with it. If I'm traveling, Ableton is a great option to still get mixes out there.
3) The podcast description
"In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer." - Camus
I always start my mix descriptions with a quote. I tend to pick quotes that speak to either where I'm at mentally and emotionally, or where I'd like the listener to be when they are listening to the mix. I started doing the quote thing because I believe that what a person believes in is a bit like a DJ mix. You mix other people's ideas and concepts to form your own unique viewpoint. The quotes are my way of trying to add an additional concept or idea to your "mental DJ mix" to keep in mind while listening.
Some DJs don't put their track listings for fear of people stealing the track or because they then feel like they can't play that song out any more. I take the opposite view. I wan't you to explore the artists I feature. I want you to become a fan of them. I want this music to grow and reach more people because I think it adds something unique to the electronic music world. Also, there is the added benefit that a featured artist may repost the mix or people looking for music by that artist may stumble on the mix. All good things.
Plus if you listen to the mix and then hear me play a song you recognize while I'm DJing, it's a nice little moment for both of us. It's nice to dance to music you know sometimes.

Root Canal Therapy
Why do I need a root canal?
Teeth have nerve tissues that comprise the inside of the tooth chamber and travel down each of the roots. When the nerve becomes damaged due to excessive stress or large cavities, inflammation and pain can occur.
What is a root canal?
Root canal therapy remove infected nerve tissue and seals the canals and chamber with a material meant to protect the tooth from further injury. Since the nerve tissue is completely removed, this weakens the tooth structure, often necessitating a crown.
If I don't proceed with the recommended root canal, what can happen?
If you don't proceed with the recommended root canal, your tooth may become more injured or infected, causing extreme pain. If the decay is too deep, your tooth may need to be extracted.

If you know me, you know that I think that EVERY holiday deserves it's own DIY tee – right?! Halloween is no exception. You've been waiting for this post! I got some great idea from you followers for what Halloween Tees you were looking for and put together a whole set, whoop whoop!
Vinyl tees are one of my favorite things to make – so fun to be able to personalize a t-shirt! I'm excited to share these FREE Cut files for this year's Spooktacular Series (I even have a couple of "spooktacular" cut file options!)
Making a Custom T-Shirt
For these tshirts, I used heat transfer vinyl and a cutting machine. Sometimes you can hand-cut vinyl, but these are more intricate designs so you'll need a cutting machine. If you've never cut vinyl on a cutting machine, I have a video tutorial for that here: How to Use Heat Transfer Vinyl.

The WHAM-O Toy Company is credited with creating the Hula-Hoop but if not for Joan Anderson, who was visiting her family in Sydney, Australia, in 1957, the craze may never have begun.
Offered to the American public in 1958, it was soon exported but was outlawed in some other countries for reasons such as "contributing to traffic accidents" in Japan; "pain in the neck, back, and abdomen" in England; and "awakening sensuality" in Indonesia.

Rush: Hillary Just Accidentally Exposed Media's False 'March For Our Lives' Narrative
Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh expressed a surprising wish during his "open-line Friday" show. Unlike many on both the Right and Left who want Hillary Clinton to just go away, Rush wants her to stay around for as long as she can continue to figure out a way to get people to pay her to talk. His reason is that the more she speaks, the more she helps the conservative cause. The latest example is her accidental exposure of the false media narrative about the "March For Our Lives."
Limbaugh's comments about the much-ballyhooed gun control rally were prompted by Clinton's latest paid speaking gig during which she lauded the pro-gun control student activists at the March For Our Lives, but then drew a revealing connection. Here's the quote from Clinton's considerably less lucrative than the past speech at the Eagleton Institute Forum Thursday night:
Clinton: You think, well who's against these things? You're advocating for climate change or you're advocating on behalf of those brave young students from Parkland for common sense gun safety measures. (cheers) And you find out that there are a lot of people who don't want that to happen because they have other interests, they see the world differently, they make money from it. The biggest challenge we face is keeping up our momentum of sustaining the energy that I have now seen across our country. And we just saw in the march the day after the inauguration and (cheers) now we've seen it on the March for Life.
"Now, that's an interesting connection, the march the day after the inauguration was the Women's March where they're wearing the vagina hats; and she correlates that, relates that to the so-called March for Life," said Limbaugh. "And it was. It was the same people. I don't know if you were here yesterday, but all kinds of information now has been learned about the March for Our Lives protest. Fewer than 10% were teenagers. Over 50% were women, and I think around 50% of the people there had voted for Hillary.
"It was just the latest resistance-to-Trump rally, and it was undertaken under the auspices of the kids from Parkland and the save our lives gun control thing," he continued. "But that's not what it was. It was your average, ordinary, run-of-the-mill Trump resistance March that is generally led by women who voted for Hillary, who are still ticked off and upset about it."
Limbaugh is referencing a study published by The Washington Post that found that only 10% of attendees of the March For Our Lives rally in Washington, D.C. were under 18 and only 27% were "first-time protesters." A stunning 89% of the attendees voted for Hillary Clinton and 79% described themselves as "left-leaning." The survey found that only 47% of all attendees were motivated to be there for the issue of gun control, and only 12% of the young people were there for the issue. "So what were the other motivations? Nearly four times as many (42%) were there to protest Donald Trump, while 56% were there for 'peace,'" The Daily Wire noted.
Limbaugh then played the comment from Clinton that has caused the most stir: her claim that men are "never" told to "go away" like she is:
Clinton: I was really struck by, um, how people said that to me, you know, mostly people in the press, for whatever reason, like, "Oh, you know, go away, go away." They never said that to any man who was not elected.
Limbaugh led off the segment by underscoring that he, unlike basically everyone else, wants Clinton around as long as possible.
"You know, there are a lot of people on our side that wish Hillary Clinton would go away. I'm not one of them," he said. "You mention Hillary Clinton's name and people groan. 'Aw, come on, can't that woman just realize it's over and kind of slink away.' And I understand the sentiments. But I hope that she doesn't go away. I hope the Democrats keep paying her somehow to appear in public."
"I hope she keeps showing up in walking boots," he added later. "Now she's got a big cast on her arm, on her right arm, the right wrist. I hope she keeps showing up in these Coke bottle glasses, and I hope she keeps whining, and I hope she keeps complaining and blaming and rambling on about whatever it is that's on her mind. Because Hillary Clinton perfectly represents a party of victims. Man, if there's ever been a prototype and an icon for a victim, a Democrat Party victim, Hillary Clinton is owning it."

Italian, like Spanish, is a language filled with passion and heat. So it is only normal that women originating from these countries are likewise filled with passion and heat. Like this Extreme Porn Videos vixen, Phoenix Marie. She is an Italian export, or should I say sexport, who boasts some of the most perfect big tits and taut legs anywhere around. Added to her great rack and perfect ass is her stunningly beautiful face, while all this is well and good, her true appeal is the fact that she is a horny little Porn XXX pornstar. She loves to get fucked, and every scene in which her tight wet pussy gets pounded, her ecstasy shines through. Not everyone loves their jobs, but she does. She loves to blow hard cocks for the whore cam masses and loves to both watch and feel cocks in asses. The verve with which she takes to her co-stars is akin to a fish taking to water; this Italian vixen was born for porn.

This one isn't done yet but there's too much paint on the canvas to dry properly with the heat gun, so I'll finish it tomorrow.
This entry was posted on March 17, 2016 by jasminyeg. It was filed under 366 Days of Art and was tagged with 366 Days of Art, bright flowers, neon, paint, painting, pink.
I'm totally LOVING the neon flowers – those turned out really cool! I especially like the contrasting thin, long black and white stems – it really pops against the bold, colorful background. 🙂

Thanks! The flowers are fun, but the stems are the best part, to me anyways!

LaRue - Fine Dining RestaurantFood ★★★★★ Ambiance ★★★★★Service ★★★★★Creativity ★★★★★ Value ★★★★★meal for 2 $50-70 plus drinks
bookmarkInformation card
Update June 27th 2016.
La Rue is closing on Saturday July 2nd. They will be opening in a new, much larger location around August 2016 at
403 N Elm St, Greensboro, NC 27401 in the previous location of Ganache Restaurant.
I am looking forward to dining at their new location which will have a much larger and modern kitchen which will really showcase their culinary expertise!
LaRue is a modern/French style restaurant with a very small menu that changes monthly. 4 appetizers and 4 entrees and 2 salads. That's it, small simple, and very creative menu. However, this simple menu is a fantastic idea. Do 4 dishes right, no not right, perfect! Concentrate on a small number of great dishes and perfect them. There is nothing worse than a huge menu where most of the dishes are so-so.... At LaRue, everything was perfect.
The menu changes at LaRue once a month so you have a reason to come back at least 12x per year.
I think I have a new favorite restaurant!
LaRue is located in downtown Greensboro a block off of the main drag. The location has lots of parking around it including several lots and a parking garage, so it is fairly convenient.
I have a hard time giving a restaurant this many 5 star ratings, but I truly feel LaRue deserves this. The food at LaRue is VERY creative and delicious. The restaurant has an upscale, yet very comfortable atmosphere where you would feel comfortable in a suit or in jeans. The service was perfect. It is hard to find anything wrong with LaRue. I also feel for the quality of the meal, the prices are very reasonable.
LaRue is a very narrow and long restaurant with about 15 tables and a bar area for dining. The kitchen is very small and located at the end of the bar so if you are seated at the bar you would have a great view of the kitchen and the prep/cooking of your meal. The main dishes are available in small plates or large plates. I recommend trying the small plates with a salad and an appetizer to allow you to try several different dishes in one visit. The main dishes we had tonight at LaRue were small plates.
Tonight we started off with the beets and berries salad. A very simple plate of beets, fresh berries, chevre, pistachios, oil, and vinegar. This was a great combination of flavors and a great salad to start off the meal. Sweet, sour and savory/funky/ earthy notes of the Chevre Cheese (Goat Cheese). Simple yet delicious.
Next was the moules raclette mussels gratine, smoked shoyu (Smoked soy sauce). We should have ordered 2 of these! Really good. Slight smoke flavor combined with the carmelized cheese notes and the mussels was a fantastic combination. Nicely done! Next was the main course of Squab (small pigeon) with lardons (salted pork fat) swiss chard, juniper berries, and foie gras. The Squab was slightly tough and probably could have used a few more minutes under the heat, but the swiss chard and the sauce with the foe gras was fantastic. The lardons were a bit on the salty side. This dish had lots of intense flavors that worked well together. We also had the Veal with fresh caper tagliatelle (thick egg noodle) and beurre blanc. Beurre blanc is a butter sauce made with a white wine, shallots, and cold butter is blended into to create an oil in water emulsion. The Beurre blanc has a delicate flavor that blended well with the delicate flavors of the veal and the sour notes of the capers. Perfect combination. The service at LaRue was fantastic. Servers are friendly and made you feel very comfortable. Plates were brought out in the proper order with enough time in between to enjoy them and not feel rushed. Their timing was perfect. The servers did what they should do, perfectly. I really enjoyed this restaurant due to the comfortable atmosphere, creative dishes cooked perfectly and great service. We will be coming back and I suggest you to try them too.
