The Federal Pell Grant Program provides need-based financial aid packages to low-income students in the form of grants. Pell Grant funds may be used by students to cover any aspect of their expenses related to attending Iowa State University.
Federal Pell Grants are direct grants awarded to students with financial need who have not received their first bachelor's degree or who are enrolled in certain academic programs that lead to teacher certification or licensure. More information is available on the U.S. Department of Education Federal Pell Grant Program website.
The amount of Federal Pell Grant funds you may receive over your lifetime is limited by federal law to be equivalent to six years of Pell Grant funding. Since the maximum amount of Pell Grant funding you can receive each year is equal to 100%, the six-year equivalent is 600%. For more information on lifetime Pell Grant eligibility, visit the Federal Student Aid website.
Pell Eligible
'Pell Eligible,' as mentioned in the requirements of other grants, means that the applicant must meet the eligibility requirements of the Federal Pell Grant as determined by filing the FAFSA. For more information on Pell Grant eligibility, visit the Federal Student Aid website.
Annual Award
The maximum Federal Pell Grant award for the 2017-2018 year is $5,920.
Application Process
All eligible students will be considered for the Federal Pell Grant by filing the FAFSA.

I tend to hibernate in the summer, which means a lot of missed social events on account of the sweltering heat and/or rainstorms. This past Saturday, I decided to get off my lazy ass and head downtown for White Linen Night, an annual art event. As the name suggests, patrons don white clothing while traipsing through art galleries. I dressed the part by wearing a white button down with a blush chiffon bottom, paired with my favorite pair of cream colored jeans. I fit right in, but looked a little more creative than just buying a white linen dress and calling it a day. Wearing jeans to an outdoor event in August? Not the smartest idea, but at least I complied with the dress code- sort of.

Anton Chigurgh's life, interest,hopes,strengths,weaknesses,achievments, and failures.Chigurgh's life seems to be interesting in the way that people hate him.
- print Print
- list Cite
His life is interesting in the sense that people hate him because of his penchant for unbridled brutality. He's hated because of the life he's chosen for himself and the focused way in which he carries out his abominable acts. Chigurgh's interest is money and his is a lifestyle that concentrates on getting significant money by illegal means. His hope is to make a substantial amount of money without working for it in an ethical way. In essence, he's looking for easy money; however, his path - in the book and in the film - to attaining wealth turns out to be not such an easy way to riches.
His strength is his relentlessness in pursuing his goals. His weakness is his lack of morals, which in the end, will eventually be his undoing, albeit in another time in this fictional life. His achievement, in a perverted way, is his winning his battle with Llewellyn. His failure is his inability to see that what he's doing is wrong. He's convinced himself he's doing what is right according to his weird set of values.

Yesterday, in conjunction with Apple's launch event, Ikea announced the launch of "the world's first" AR shopping app. It's called Ikea Place and will roll out globally on the Appstore, starting September 19th.
"We are reinventing furniture shopping. Physical and digital worlds are now meeting in a new and natural way. [Ikea Place] will elevate the [shopping] experience and inspire our many customers, and make it easier for them to find exactly the right product," says Michael Valdsgaard, Leader of Digital Transformation at Inter Ikea, the furniture giant's business development and technology unit.
Ikea Place enables shoppers to see through their iPhone or iPad how sofas, chairs, bookshelves and other furniture fit into their homes.
Ikea hopes the app will not just reinvent hundreds of millions of shoppers' buying experience, but also boost sales to an extent that will help it reach new revenue and profit records. Ikea Place, which has been developed using Apple ARKit technology, will initially feature some 2000 products, and supports in-app purchases.
Valdsgaard lauds Apple's advanced AR-technology, which has "finally caught up with our ambitions." Ikea cites the app's "98 percent accuracy", enabling users to view furniture in its exact scale, "see a fabric's structure, and experience how light and shadows are reproduced around the [objects]."
Valdsgaard is convinced the app shows the way to the future of retail:
"AR and VR will change the playing field for retail. The difference [compared to internet and e-commerce] is that it will happen a lot faster this time," he says.
Ikea Place will launch in Sweden and the rest of the Nordics one week after the official launch, on September 26th.

Well, on top of this, today really was the straw that broke this camel's back. You might remember my bizarre neighbor I caught kissing one of my horses over the fence? That's been several years, and after I asked her at that time never to do anything like that, she didn't come by here. Her home is back-to-back with ours. Several months ago, I was driving David to a medical appointment, and we met the couple out walking their dogs. They stood in the road to stop us, told us they'd heard about David's cancer, and asked if they could pray for him. Well, we'd never turn that down, but it was still uncomfortable because she knew we were headed to a doctor but still went on and on in the middle of the road. A few minutes after we got home, her husband zoomed to our driveway to give us some church CDs about healing, and he was so nosey. He's a policeman, and I'd think he would be a little more aware of respect for people and property. I had zero time to hang out and visit this whole last year. He wanted to know why I block the long driveway, and I said for security. He said, "So you're afraid?" I said, "Only that I might have to kill someone in self-defense."I've only seen these folks close-up one other time in the past several years, and that was one morning when the woman and their son were out for a bike ride and stopped to ask if they could pet my dog I was out walking. We only talked for a couple of minutes, then they were on their way. Today, I was putting out the evening feed, and the horses were out enjoying the sunshine and tender shoots, and I wondered why they weren't coming when I called and whistled as they always do. I walked out of the barn and saw this couple leaning on the pasture gate, which is loaded with liability and trespassing and other signs, trying to get the horses to come to them. The more sensible horses saw me and ran in for feed. My squirrel, er, "different" mare was quivering with indecision. This girl is a one-woman horse at this point, and they are compromising my work with her. I had to call out to the people, "Please don't! I don't want them talking to strangers. They're just like children." Yes, I felt like an idiot, but I thought they'd understand that concept. They also walk their dog without a leash, and he occasionally walks himself without them. His tracks are all through my machine shed, and don't let me own dogs wander there. It is not a dog-proofed, kid-proofed place in general. These folks are giving me nightmares.The thing that bugs me most about this is the absence of asking if it's ok to visit before doing it. This winter, I bought several loads of huge round bales from the only seller who would/could deliver it and unload inside the pasture in winter conditions. I really needed the time this gave me. The first two rounds (2 loads each) of deliveries were ok. By the third, I wished I could have found someone else. He brought his daughter, maybe 8 or 9, and let her get out into my horse bunch while he unloaded, but I didn't know about this till it was over. Then he walked into my outbuildings from the pasture, something I would NEVER allow a stranger to do. I also bought one load of heavy square bales from this guy, and he didn't unload them where I asked him to, plus he stacked them over my head despite my request he not do that. A nearby house for sale was briefly occupied by a young family doing some fixup work for the owner. They enjoyed short walks with their toddler. We'd exchange waves and "Hi" now and then. One day, I was mowing the barnyard. The dad let the boy come running down the driveway at me while I was walking away. I spotted him out the corner of my eye and stopped the mower. Then I told the child he had to go back to his dad who was still at the edge of the road. His dad was laughing and made no effort to stop the kid from running into danger. Boy wouldn't go. I told his dad he needed to fetch or call the boy back, and he finally did, then he called me paranoid. I was mowing with a walk-behind sickle mower. What a jerk. None of these are "bad people," they just have lost contact with boundaries.The neighbors are a problem. If I can't trust a family with a policeman to obey signs and verbal requests, who can I trust? They homeschool the son, have yard signs for very conservative politicians, and wear a lot of patriotic shirts. How can they have no respect for my private property? I was polite both times I've asked her to leave the horses alone. I don't want to annoy neighbors, but I don't want to be a doormat, either. Mostly, I just don't want to be dealing with this at all while I'm grieving.In a fog,Janis CJ
- I might be hyper-sensitive because I've had a really bad week with things related to my husband's death. This includes dealing with policy to cancel joint account credit cards when one person died. I was told this is required by federal law. No one told me about it till it had been cancelled. Another thing that happened overwhelmed me with a feeling of shame, something I would not have expected. All research I did led me to believe that any person who served in the military, whether regular or reserve, active or not, could receive a military plaque for the grave. After I'd processed all the paperwork, including forwarding it to the cemetery supervisor for sign-off and forwarding to the VA, I got a letter saying I'd have to have additional proof that one or more other conditions had been met. I think the shame comes from a general feeling that started when David was going through the short and long-term disability steps last year, then all the things I've had to get changed since he died. I say we were, and I am, no longer a customer or employee, just a suspect in a fraud that didn't happen. That is how every step has been set up, as fraud prevention, but with a heavy indication that the customer has already committed that fraud. It is hideous.

Just One. Often it only takes one person to make a difference. Over the past few months, you may have done just one thing to help protect Minnesota's lakes, rivers and great outdoors. But because friends like you decided to do one thing, we were able to deliver more than 25,000 postcards, emails and phone calls to legislators and Governor Dayton urging them to take action on your priorities.
Because of you, we were able to make important steps forward this year by:
- Helping pass Governor Dayton's water protection initiative that includes buffers along rivers, streams and ditches.
- Supporting increased funding for state parks.
- Passing a ban on toxic flame retardants that threaten the health of children and firefighters.
- Passing a ban on plastic microbeads in the State Senate that is ready for action in the house next spring.
- Preventing cuts to Aquatic Invasive Species funding.
- Preventing raids on Legacy Amendment funds that would use voter approved conservation dollars to pay local property taxes.
- Stopping attempts to weaken Minnesota's clean energy laws that have created thousands of new jobs and made our state a national leader.
- Battling assaults on the laws and state agencies that protect our waters from pollution.
Thank you. Together we were able to make important progress this year. But we did not win in every case. There is much more to do to protect our Minnesota legacy for future generations.
I look forward to continuing our work together!

Jake Lands Lumpy
Click on the buttons to the right for more images:Last Updated: 9th May 2016
Team member Jake Anderson has kicked off his campaign on Mid Kent Fisheries' Tonford lake by landing 'Lumpy' one of the lake's characters.
Usually tipping the scales just over 30lb, Lumpy weighed in at 29lb 10oz for Jake, who landed another common of 19lb 4oz shortly after. Both carp fell to a Chilli Club pop-up presented an inch off the deck on a hinged-stiff rig fished over a bed of Chilli Club boilies soaked in Marine 17 liquid.
Jake was back at Tonford Lake over the weekend and continued his run of success with an impressive brace - more details and pics on that to follow shortly.

I look after them and treat them as friends and not just as students.
This varied course focuses on the natural processes that occur on the Earth's surface. If you are fascinated by rivers and seas, get excited when you spot unusual strata on a cliff, want to understand about climate change and how it has impacted on landscapes, ecosystems and people, or just have a strong interest in physical geography, then this joint degree in Geography and Geology is for you.
This course includes teaching, field work and projects, drawing from the expertise and research knowledge of staff in the School of Earth, Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences and The School of Environment and Development.
We offer a wide choice of units and field courses from both schools and have options to focus more on geology or physical geography depending on your personal interests.
We want you to gain as much as possible from your time with us. Our Course Director, John Nudds, is dedicated to the care and support of students on this course, which typically ranks among the top-rated courses for the entire University. We have a strong emphasis on pastoral care and our friendly atmosphere will make you feel welcome in our close-knit community as we support your learning and prepare you for employment. We have a number of dedicated staff focused on enhancing employability and have excellent links with the careers service. Our Geography and Geology graduates enjoy a wide range of careers, not only those directly related to the geosciences industry, but also in accountancy, management, education, marketing, sales, the media, advertising, land management and environmental work. Our Geography and Geology programme is also a perfect springboard to further study, with many of our graduates going on to higher level masters and research degrees.
We familiarise you with the natural processes that occur on the Earth's surface and how humans and societies have learned to exploit and protect themselves from these phenomena. This year also strengthens your capacity for independent learning and your abilities to develop logical arguments on a range of geological and geographical issues.
Field courses to: Alderley Edge, the Mersey Basin (one day) and Northeast Scotland (week long residential)
You will study geological processes and physical geography in more detail; you will discover your passion for specific topics and begin to specialise. Our practical classes and field courses will extend your communication and technical skills so that you have the necessary experience to prepare yourself for a future career in geosciences.
Field courses to a choice of locations, including:
Donegal, Morocco, Iceland and Crete. There are also one day field courses to the Wirral, Delamere Forest and along the River Irwell associated with individual course units.
We encourage you to evaluate critically the ideas and concepts you have learned. What are the flaws in current theories and gaps in knowledge? A field-based dissertation project in an area of physical geography or geology and assessed coursework allow you to explore topics in great depth, supported and informed by the research of our academic staff. Your dissertation will be closely supervised by one of our experts who will dedicate time to guide you in your project.
We are currently planning a two-week long field module 'Understanding the landscape of the Himalayas', run by the School of Environment, Education and Development. there are also one day field courses to the Peak District, the Wirral and the Formby coast associated with individual course units.
You must choose three units with EART codes and two with GEOG codes from the list on the following page:

Two protocol questions for the Chowhounds out there...
First, do you tip on the after-tax amount or the before-tax amount?
Second, when dining out using a discount deal from Blackboard Eats or alike (e.g. 30% off your meal) do you tip based on the non-discounted price or based on the discounted price?
I appreciate that waitstaff needs and deserves to be paid. I respect that and am generally a 20% tipper given decent food and service however; I also think in the case of tax that it isn't a "service" so why should I pay extra for it and in the case of discounted deals that the restaurant has already decided to discount its service likely because they believe doing so will increase traffic, and in this case they're right because that's why I'm eating there... so presumably it's a win on all sides- for the diner, the staff and the restaurant- so shouldn't all sides receive the same level of benefit?

Traveling to Utah for your Cosmetic Procedure
Welcome to Saltz Plastic Surgery, the Intermountain West's finest plastic surgery clinic. Our mission is to exceed the goals and expectations of our patients in a state-of-the-art facility that provides the highest level of service with an eye to the smallest detail.
Why travel to work with Dr. Saltz?
Making the decision to travel for your cosmetic surgery isn't easy. Everything is so different in another country. However, as a native Brazilian, Dr. Saltz knows how to create a culturally welcoming experience and make you feel at home in Utah.
Dr. Saltz studied in Brazil, receiving his medical degree from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul School of Medicine of Porto Alegre. After graduation he came to the United States for his training, completing his five years of General Surgery and Plastic Surgery training in just three years. Dr. Saltz is Certified by the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
As a Brazilian plastic surgeon who practices primarily in the United States, Dr. Saltz strives to maintain his connections with the international medical community. He has held various positions within the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), where he is the current president-elect. In addition, he is the founder and president of the American-Brazilian Aesthetic Meeting. Dr. Saltz is continually working to promote the international exchange of knowledge in aesthetic medicine.
Top procedures
Dr. Saltz believes in the importance of achieving the ideal proportions of your image, as it fits within your cultural heritage. He perfected techniques known to be valued by the Brazilian and South American cultures.
Body contouring
A combination of procedures, where more than one surgical procedure is performed to improve the contour of your figure. The procedures may include breast augmentation, breast reduction, liposuction, tummy tuck, and others.
Liposuction is ideal for removing fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise. Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, but a body contouring procedure.
Butt lift
This procedure is performed to lift and firm the skin of the buttocks. Dr. Saltz will remove excess skin around the glutes and reposition the tissue for a more youthful appearance and shape.
Brazilian Butt Lift
Think of a butt lift, along with adding volume to create a rounder backside. To do this, a person's own fat is extracted, filtered, and then re-injected back into the buttocks to increase size and projection.
Your cosmetic procedure in Utah
The ease of traveling to Utah gives you the option of making your cosmetic procedure a working holiday of sorts. The Salt Lake City International Airport is a Delta Airlines hub with international connections to every corner of the globe. Access from the airport to Salt Lake City and the adjacent 12,000-foot mountains of the Wasatch Range couldn't be easier. The airport is located only seven miles from downtown Salt Lake City and only 36 miles from the famous resort town of Park City.
Utah is a true four season state, so no matter when you choose to have your procedure, you'll know the state and city have something to offer. And for your choice of hotels, there is everything from four-star ski lodges to boutique hotels to bed & breakfasts.
Ski Utah — Utah is world-renowned for its skiing with from 300 to 500 inches of light powder blanketing the seven resorts within 30 minutes of downtown Salt Lake City.
Visit Park City — The historic silver mining town of Park City, once famed for what lies under the mountains, now celebrates the snow that falls on them. Whether skiing the United States' new largest ski resort (the combination Park City Mountain Resort and The Canyons into one mega-resort), mountain biking hundreds of miles of connected trails, or just enjoying the beautiful scenery, Park City is a treasure.
Discover the red rock wonderlands — There is nothing that can prepare you for the sights of the red rock wonders of Utah's five National Parks. Add time to your trip to at least take a long weekend to see these otherworldly sights.
Utilize our website to educate yourself about the procedures we offer at Saltz Plastic Surgery and Spa Vitoria. You'll find detailed descriptions of each procedure, along with an extensive before-and-after photo gallery. We look forward to helping you achieve the results you seek.

Motorola Mobility has finally decided to close down its shops and websites in India. The official confirmation appeared on their website recently, when users visiting the website were greeted with a notification making it clear that they won't see any more phones from the company.
The message quoted, "We are streamlining our business and support systems, and unfortunately, we will no longer have a dedicated website for India." However the notification stated as saying about the local support site to be still active with continued support for existing products. The website also notifies about users interested in viewing current products to be able to do so from the website in the days to come.
Motorola Mobility was involved in delivering personalised information for its consumers. It was earlier the network division of Motorola. It was called Personal Communication Section (PCS) before August 2011. The company was facing financial crisis during those days because of the lack of competitiveness to stay with the upcoming trends of the market. Google came with an announcement on August 2011 that it would acquire the company for $12.5 billion. Ever since Motorola was acquired by Google, it seemed they were shutting down their operations in India. The official confirmation however, came only now with the closing down of their Indian website.
The latest development came as a huge blow to Motorola fans who were expecting new products to be released in future by Google. The decision to pull out from a huge potential market like India is seen by many analysts as Google's efforts to streamline its operations. The statement from Motorola of extending support for its existing products gives a sigh of relief for many Motorola users though temporarily.

Lowering Of Drinking Age Essay, Research Paper
Lowering of Drinking Age
When teenagers turn eighteen, we tell them they are adults and send them into the world. They go to college, get a job, marry or join the military. They do grown up things like vote, pay taxes and become parents. They can drive cars, buy a gun, smoke, serve on a jury, and go to an adult prison. But they can t go to a bar for a drink because when it comes to liquor, they are still just kids. Where s the logic in the twenty-one and older drinking law? The minimum drinking age should be eighteen since it is the age of adulthood.
The drinking age of twenty-one has not been around for long. In 1984, only eighteen states required that drinkers be twenty-one until the National Minimum Drinking Age Act was passed. Through this amendment, legislators tried to solve the drunken driving crisis across the country. In essence, the federal government blackmailed the states into doing what it wanted. Since then, the decrease in drinking and driving problems are the result of many factors, not just the rise in purchase age. These include education concerning drunk driving, designated driver programs, increased seat belt and air bag usage, safer automobiles, lower speed limits, and free taxi services from drinking establishments, along with many others.
It s obvious that teenagers drink alcohol despite the drinking laws. Most kids who want to drink are going to do it, and just because it s against the law doesn t stop them from drinking in fact, it makes it more appealing. When they have the opportunity to drink, they do so in an irresponsible manner because it is seen as a badge of rebellion against authority . Lowering the drinking age to eighteen would take away the thrill and excitement of having something that you re not supposed to. Even for those who are underage, liquor is the easiest drug in the world to get. Many liquor stores are willing to sell alcohol to teenagers without asking for identification. It s also not hard to get older friends or siblings to buy for minors.
Young adults should be allowed to drink in controlled environments such as restaurants, bars, and official school and university functions. In these situations, where mature and sensible drinking behavior would be expected, responsible alcohol consumption could be taught through role modeling and educational programs.
We can learn from this. Because the twenty-one year old drinking age law is not working, we need to change it and teach responsible drinking techniques to those who choose to consume alcoholic beverages. I m not saying that alcohol is good, but if our government feels that eighteen year olds are responsible enough to make important life decisions, it should show confidence in these young adults to act mature when it comes to drinking.

Neale, the American, called himself The Tumbleweed because, like tumbleweeds of his native west, he was forever rolling.
Like the tumbleweeds on The Outer Limits, this one is sentient. He wants a wife, kids and a home . . . he didn't want to roll.
He currently holds the cushy post of Acting Deputy Commissioner[1] for Allaha the White Queen of Amatonga in Rhodesia. Since Robert Mugabe was only 13 years old, it might have still still been a nice place to live.
The White Queen is the son of an English Commander who apparently did not believe in the Brexit, because he sired over a hundred children. They were of "all shades and coloring" but she was the only one white enough to be queen. She grew up to marry "the coal-black Chief of the Amatonga". The Chief was killed by a lion when "learning to hunt with a rifle instead of a spear", so Allaha ascended to the throne. Later, after her stomach calmed down, she ascended to power.
Back in the present, Allaha and Neale receive word that Lady Diana Sutwell and Fred Blake crashed flying into Capetown. "Three-score of blacks with spears and loin-cloths" are dispatched to find the white woman . . . and the dude, if he happens to be there. Before they even have the chance for a single man to be killed by lions — did the Chief's death teach them nothing? — Blake and Lady Di stumble into camp on their own. Quickly, her body language is nagging Neale to death:
No brassiere restrained [her breasts]. They stood out, firm little mounds pressing against that shirt of hers as if she was saying "Yes I am a woman. Now what the hell are you going to do about it?"
Hips alone that would drive a man crazy. She stood smiling at Neale as if she was saying, "What the hell? I'm a woman, yes. What does that mean to you?"
Despite having bedded Allaha the night before, Neale tells Lady Di — the daughter of a duke — that he loves her and wants to marry her despite his lowly station in life. He knows this is as unlikely as a chauffeur marrying the Lord's daughter. He tells her straight-out, though, that he wants to have the sex with her. She declines, saying that she is content to wait for Mr. Right.
Uber-respecter of women Neale leaves to find the other white meat, Allaha. Unable to locate her, he circles back to the house. He overhears Diana telling his assistant Roscoe that of course she and Blake were more than just travel-buddies. She then disses Neale, saying she prefers a man who lives life to the fullest like Blake. She and Roscoe then begin making out. What?
Neale orders Roscoe back to his post. Blake enters and seems to have no problem with either Roscoe or Neale banging his girl. Worried of an attack by the natives, Neale prepares by picking up Diana's clothes. He says, "I'll give these back to you before we leave. Till then you're going to be just a human female creature, and you're going about without clothes like any female of the animal species."
The natives, led by Allaha, attack the house. The four white bullet-chuckers easily dispatch the natives attacking the house with spears. Blake suggests that maybe Diana — who fought while still naked — might get her clothes back. Diana says, "Hell I don't want them!" just to torture Neale. Yeah, that'll show him. I mean literally show him.
The natives return to the house and set it on fire — which really should have been Plan A. The gang is rescued by the Rhodesian police. After all the stereotypes and racial epithets that I have skipped over, there is this surprisingly progressive passage:
Through the bush came a troop of hard-bitten Rhodesian police troopers firing with carbines from their saddles driving the natives into the depths of the scrub, tramping them down, imposing on them the terror that the white man exercises on the native everywhere in the world.
Only Neale and Diana survive the siege. That night he goes to her tent. She says, "You fought so gallantly and I had thought you were just a weakling. I couldn't love you when you came to me with your life story instead of dominating me."
They agree that they hate each, so naturally start making out. The next day Lady Diana heads back to Buluwayo, hopefully not tailed by paparazzi.
Meh. But it does deserve special recognition for most gratuitous use of nudity in a story.
- [1] Or Deputy Acting Commissioner according to his boss.
- She really is referred to as Lady Di in the story.

Think Feel Pictures presents GoPro HD Powder Skiing at Bear Mountain, California!! This was filmed the same time as the GoPro HD Snowboarding at Bear Mountain video. The video features the song One Too Many Mornings by The Chemical Brothers off the album Exit Planet Dust.
This is a different perspective of the awesome day we had at Bear Mountain. Most of the video is of Bow Canyon off chair 8. As you see in the video we hiked a bit away from the chair. There is nothing better than hiking to find your own space on the mountain!
The entire video was shot with the GoPro HD Hero Camera. We used the R3 setting, which is 1280×720 at 60fps. The camera was mostly positioned on the helmet of George Brooks. To position the camera on the helmet we used the 3M adhesive mount.
David Meador did the editing. The footage was conformed in Apple?s Compressor from 60fps to 30fps, changing it to slow motion. The video was edited and color corrected in Final Cut Pro 6. The opening and closing titles were made using Apple's Motion.
The color correction took a different route in this video. The look hopefully resembles old 16mm or 8mm film. The colors were influenced by the song we used, One Too Many Mornings, and the cover for Exit Planet Dust. The black border is similar to the Skiing at Snow Summit and Mountain High VPRJ videos.

Fraser's dolphins in Hawai'i
Fraser's dolphins (Lagenodelphis hosei) off the island of Hawaii, April 30, 2008. Photo (c) Robin W. Baird.
We have only documented Fraser's dolphins four times in our surveys (once in 2008, once in 2012 and twice in 2015). Prior to our April 2008 sighting this species had only been recorded twice in Hawaiian waters, both sightings from November 2002 far to the northwest of the main Hawaiian Islands, seen during a NMFS survey (the HICEAS survey, see Barlow 2006). Our 2008 sighting is the first of this species around the main Hawaiian Islands.
Fraser's dolphins off the island of Hawai'i. Photo (c) Dan J. McSweeney. Fraser's dolphins have very small dorsal fins relative to the body size, and a very short but distinct beak (rostrum). Pigmentation patterns differ between the sexes, adult males have a thick dark strip extending posterior from the eye (visible in the individual at the far left as well as below).

TOKYO — Toyota Motor reported another step in its uneven road to recovery Wednesday, saying that income for the fiscal year that ended in March had tumbled, but that it expected profit for the current year to more than double to ¥760 billion, helped by new models and a pickup in the global economy.
Toyota, the world's second-largest automaker by vehicle sales after General Motors, has been languishing far below the heights it hit in 2008, when it raked in a record ¥1.72 trillion, or $21.5 billion.
But after posting a historic loss shortly thereafter in the global economic crisis, Toyota has struggled to grow, for reasons both of its own creation and beyond its control. First, a recall crisis greatly hampered a rebound, even as the economy pulled back from the brink; then an upswing in the yen weighed on Toyota's profits.
Last year, Japan's natural and nuclear disasters, as well as flooding in Thailand, wreaked havoc on production lines and again marred hopes of a robust recovery. Analysts say it may be difficult for Toyota to fully recover without shifting more production out of Japan, where the strong yen has made manufacturing much more expensive.
The Toyoda City-based auto maker said Wednesday that net income for the
12 months through March had fallen 31 percent from a year earlier to ¥283.6 billion, largely because of the impact of those disasters and the strong Japanese currency.Continue reading the main story
That decline overshadows a heroic comeback in the January-March quarter, when profit more than quadrupled to ¥121 billion compared with that of a year earlier. Toyota has raced to mend supply lines severed by the tsunami and ramp up production, beating its own estimates in bringing factories back online.
The maker of the Corolla compact and the Prius gas-electric hybrid said an aggressive new model lineup, as well as strength in major markets like the United States and Japan, would help it further boost profit to ¥760 billion in the year through March 2013. It also said it expected sales in emerging markets to grow at a healthy clip.
Those projections would amount to Toyota's best annual performance yet since the 2009 plunge, though the forecast still fell short of a ¥817.7 billion average predicted by 21 analysts polled by Bloomberg. Toyota said it expected to sell 8.7 million vehicles, an increase of 1.35 million from a year earlier, and for revenue to climb 18 percent to ¥22 trillion.
Toyota also announced a year-end dividend of ¥30 per share, to be proposed at the general shareholders meeting in June.
"In recent years, we have suffered periods of hardship. This year, I am determined to show tangible results of all our internal efforts in order to reward our stakeholders who supported us during these difficult times," Akio Toyoda, chief executive at Toyota and the grandson of the company founder, said in prepared remarks.
Shares in Toyota closed flat at ¥3,145 in Tokyo before the announcement. The auto maker's shares have gained 22.6 percent this year, outperforming a 6.9 percent rise in the wider Nikkei index.
Among new models from Toyota this year are the new Prius C hybrid subcompact, released in Japan in December and in North America in March, and a new fully electric vehicle, the RAV4, which the Japanese automaker developed with the Silicon Valley startup, Tesla Motors.
China's securities regulator is considering allowing foreign companies to directly issue bonds that will trade on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, two sources, including one with direct knowledge of the situation, told Reuters on Wednesday.
The China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Shanghai Stock Exchange have been studying the plan since late last year, the source said, adding that there was no timetable for a final decision on the proposal.
A second source at a brokerage said she had been briefed by on the project this week. None of the sources was authorized to speak on the recordContinue reading the main story

Brain, IMHO, your landscape shots in color are splendid (or is it gobsmackingly good?).
Thanks Vivek, but now I'm confused aren't we in the B&W thread?
Or do you mean my toning of the B&W shots above?
The lush greens of English country side and what you do to capture them.
They work best in color. Only my opinion, ofcourse.
Ah, now I understand... thanks
I haven't posted in a while, but I'm hoping the GF1 will get me out shooting again. Here's a quick grab during the commute to work this morning. Shot from the hip. Converted in Silver Efex.
Nice. Strong perspective and composition. Like the way the faces are down, up, down. Strangely empty train for Tokyo. Thanks for posting. Cheers.

Gentlemen - thank you for your kind words
I took this with my own hands with the G1 and the kit zoom. I had an excellent vantage point. Stay tuned to the G1 with 14-45 thread for a color one which I am working on now. Lots of blood.
It is taken at the wonderful "Panorama" building in Sevastopol, where you are in a viewing theater similar to a planetarium with a 360 degree view of the battle. It's a mix of artists rendering and 3D props, which makes the photo look like it was taken live at the battle. Fortunately photography is allowed and encouraged.

Uhmmmm . . . . do you think my image could be inserted into the "Street Photography" section.
I guess there are a few cities in the world where the streets look a bit like this . . .

2014 seems like a very long year, and, like many moments of crisis, it is an event in two halves. My Swift Report is necessarily personal, even, it may appear, egoistic, or egotistical. This is in the nature of such posts. I can make no apology for this, the genre I am writing in here is memoir, specifically, a brief summary of "my" year. It is not, for example, a history of the year from the perspective of murdered young men in America; or victims of the mysterious plane crash; or the horrid Ukraine conflict; or a story of the victims of the Taliban; nor a jocular discussion of the adventures of Hollywood actors. It is not a story of Ebola victims or doctors, Winter Olympians, World Cup losers and victors, the struggles of Man United, or the return of Simple Minds. It is not a lament for the rise of the right, or the decline of the book. In short, to reiterate, it is not a story of all of 2014 (if such were even possible), but of whatever the word "me" can mean. Me of course, is a word and concept that extends to others, specifically, wife, family, friends, business colleagues, poets I work with, and so on.
2013 ended very well. I had spent Christmas with my beloved brother, his wife and little boy, my Godson. My publishing company was faring well. I was enjoying teaching, and I had a new book of my own poems on the horizon. January 2014 started badly - first the New Year's Day loss at Old Trafford of my team to Tottenham - and then, my family leaving to head back on January 5th to Canada. I felt bereft. It got worse quickly. It was at that moment my backer for my press reneged on his contractual promises, and pulled all funding for the press, due to major losses he had made on the stock market in 2013. I thought I might have to close Eyewear Publishing; and then, a few days later I collapsed with a terrible flu that became a chest infection. I was in bed for a fortnight on strong antibiotics. When I arose from my bed, I was a changed person - anxious and shattered, afraid to lose my business; haunted, and feeling lost.
Over the next few months, several close friends died, often young, as Kirsten Bishopric, that wonderful smart, impossibly witty and beautiful Canadian actress and a dear friend, did, at the age of 50. As did Doug Isaac, my troubled, brilliant poet friend. On a lesser note, I fell and broke a finger the day before our Mexican embassy launch, which has still yet to mend entirely. And so on.
This is not the place to go through the first half of 2014. It is now mostly a nightmarish blur. However, by summer, I had managed to cobble together ways to keep Eyewear's press afloat, and had moved to a new full time position, at Worcester University (I need the money to keep my press alive). As it happens, Worcester, city and university, are for the moment at least rather delightful. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know this very friendly and beautiful part of the English midlands; and I have joined a very good new university that is innovative and seems far-seeing.
I will not mention in detail the numerous books Eyewear edited, published, launched, and sold, in 2014, except to say they were highlights of the year, for me, and I am very proud to have worked with the authors and poets, and our Eyewear team. Of course, having The Boy From Aleppo made as a BBC Radio 4 show that was heard by half a million people in November was a great moment in my life - I am so very proud to have shepherded this book so far.
My own writing never satisfies me. I always feel there was something better, wiser, truer, kinder, more complex I might have said. It would be wrong though to say I did not have a few publishing moments in 2014 that gave me satisfaction, pride, even joy.
I had a poetry song with LA-musician Kennedy; a pamphlet from KFS in 2014, a Selected Poems from Marick Press (in Michigan); a poem selected for Best British Poetry 2014 (Salt); and a major review/essay on new British poets in Poetry magazine in the autumn. I also placed poems in Salamander. I have a chapter on FT Prince appearing in a book next year. I am currently working on a full tenth book of poems, which I hope will appear by 2016, when I turn 50. So, in terms of "publishing outputs" - that crude phrase, I am doing okay, I think.
I am not going to "look forward to" 2015 here. I am unsure what such a sentiment might mean, in the world we currently inhabit. I cannot recall, when younger, such a bleak prospect for humanity, even during the nuclear-ready Reagan years. The idea that in 100 years many species will be gone, and the world scarred by warming and mass starvation is not welcome; and I cannot help but think technology may have made things worse. Nanobots and micro-drones are not my cup of tea. My faith in God is sorely tested, though I find the idea, which I came across recently, that God's impassive silence may be a form of communication, oddly comforting. It is true that the hell on Earth we are making, we are making. We do not need a demiurge, demon or deity to blame. We know the culprit. I think it is hard to discount the sense that human nature is, despite what post-structuralists idealistically argue, far less flexible and porous than one might think - our identity as a human species seems hardwired to contain plenty of war, competition, violence, acquisitional greed and sexual depravity. And that's just the poets.
Over the year, a few very good friends came to visit in London, including Phil Hiebert, Lisa Pasold, and Dr Oliver Brennan, and these were all wonderful moments.
My two happiest moments in 2014 came when I left Britain. Though British I am unsure if Britain is heading in the right direction. I wish Scotland had managed to become independent. I deplore the rise of UKIP. And fear that a Tory government will lead to more and greater cuts. British society has turned against ideas of community and co-operation, to become a divisive, competitive, unequal and often very unfair place to live; and the gross naked capitalism of "The City" is repellent to me, insofar as I believe the highest human goods are (aside from love), communion with nature (swimming, walking, hiking); quietly reading or writing; playing games with friends and family; conversation; and music and art.
Anyway, I was happiest in Quebec at a lake for a few weeks this summer, swimming, reading, BBQing, kayaking, cycling, and, essentially, spending time with my family, who I miss and love.
I was also very moved and happy to launch my Selected in Michigan and Chicago. I fell in love with Chicago, and also, oddly, with Detroit, a city I suspect is the new Berlin. If I could, I would move to Detroit tomorrow, and live in a loft, where I would write and hold poetry events. It was, finally, the greatest honour of my life to date (after my marriage, and my PhD graduation) to be invited to read, and indeed, to read, at the Poetry Foundation in Chicago, in the world's best acoustic room for the human voice. I wish to end this note with a warm and complete thank you to Don Share, whose belief in my critical writing, and my poetry, helped to sustain me through some very dark months, indeed.
My dream would be one of welcome. To wake to feel a sense of proper and loving, kind literary community in the UK. None of this likely to be forthcoming, I will do my best to write, publish, edit, mentor, teach, and support others, safe in the knowledge that life is not fair, and we need, always, to fend that off, and be gentler, and more accommodating to others. Poetics and debate and coteries are fine, but at the end of the day (I use this cliché on purpose as this is a Winter Solstice post) we all die, often in great pain and in fear. To try to make life more bearable for our fellow humans as we all pass through this vale (veil) of tears seems like the best new year's resolution of all.
I wish you all love, joy, peace, and, failing that, the strength to overcome sorrow, and find some measure of hope or faith, in and for the new year, 2015.

How this functions is the fact that you can hit a button around the device which will provide you with a short-term password which will only work to get a minute. You then use this password to log into your account.
Why is usually a device like this needed for safety?
Many people are not conscious of what malicious software on their computer systems can do. There is certainly a thing called a keylogger than can track all the things which you form in on your keyboard. This signifies that when you're logging into accounts like your bank account, the keylogger can inform what web-site you will and what login and password you happen to be making use of. Lots of individuals have these on their machines and never know it.
An authenticator would beat keyloggers even when they stole your password. Given that that password is only fantastic to get a minute, it doesn't matter if a person have been to steal your old password because it will not function.
The only way that an individual could hack into your account is if they physically had the device. In a digital world, it is actually nice to have anything which you can physically protect so as to protect your private information like your bank account.
Why On line Banking With an Authentication Device Makes You More Safe

Carl I honestly don't believe it was anything to do with memory chips.
None of what you have said would add up to anything doing with memory..
Debugging means it is fixing itself..so why do anything during that process..???
you could use the ctrl-Alt-del. to stop it I suppose..
I would just let it run it's process. If it is going to mess it up anyhow what is the difference..Pulling a plug in the middle of a process is not what we want to do..
The key here is " Middle" or as in " already started" Then that would still depend on what has started and if the computer can restore itself after re-boot, assuming you can re-boot.
If you want to prove this out, I suppose you could mimmick the process all over...Mess it all up again and see if the memory is where it is at..or another way would be to research it thru yourself and see what happens.
Now that your back up on line another thing you could do is punch the error msg into the Internet and see what comes up.

Trapper, Actually I was in Outlook Express and it was in the process of "debuging" and would not shut down and that is why I pulled the plug. Now, you think it was Service Patch 4?
Two lessons I've learned:
1- When a blue screen appears, pull the memory chips myself,
2- Do not pull the plug when a program is "debuging".

I think their should be a place for you to go to and complain and get re-imbursed for the troubles..If I bought a toaster and the toaster burnt my house down cuz it wasn't right, you betcha their would be a lot of recall and insurance claims etc.. if you "DL" a software product by MS and it crashes your computer and cost you $ and down time then why should that be any different than a toaster. I wonder if in that small prints somewhere it has a disclaimer. Probably does.. Evidently that service pack 4 was re-witting your stuff when you pulled the plug on it..? I know some of these "DL" advise to backup ( theres that crazy word again) before you start a install. In case of a power outage or something..!

I love anchovies but my brother does not, so I discovered Worsteschire sauce for some flavor and combined it with a recipie from his mother-in-law. Wow! I had no idea my vegetarian recipe would taste so good to so many people! Total time includes assembly and plating each dish.
- Yield
- 10-12
- Active Time
- 1.5 hours
- Total Time
- 1.75 hours
- 3 heads of romaine lettuce with whole leaves
- 3 ripe avocados
- 6 Tbs apple cider vinegar
- 3 Tbs lemon juice
- 3 Tbs Worchestire sauce,
- 3 Tsp Dijon mustard
- 9 garlic cloves pressed
- 2 oz parmesan cheese
- 3 Tsp fresh ground black pepper
- 2/3 cup cold water
- olive oil
- croutons
- Set aside romaine, croutons, olive oil, and water. Shave 1.5 oz of cheese and Blend with all other ingredients in a large blender until creamy. (For a regular size blender, divide ingredients in half and make two batches.) Add water for desired consistency. Add some dashes of olive oil to balance acidity. Set aside. Cut off stalk ends of romaine where white meets the green and discard stalks. Peel off large leaves from each head one by one careful not to tear leaves. Separate into three piles; largest leaves, mid-size leaves, and smaller leaves. (Each plate will have about 6 whole leaves on the finished plate.) Set aside. Shave remaining cheese into large ribbons and set aside. On a large baking sheet, or other flat surface, lay out 2 of the large leaves. Using a rubber bristle pastry brush, dip brush in blender and paint dressing on leaves until both sides are coated. Arrange coated leaves on first plate. Repeat with large leaves for all plates. Repeat with next sized leaves for all plates ending with smallest leaves on top. Garnish with croutons and cheese ribbons. Serve immediately.

The Five QuestionsApr 28th, 2009 | By Jason | Category: Blogs, Opinions
Jason McGill
Assistant Editor
I received an email of a draft memorandum, followed by the finalized text of the memorandum, from the shiny happy people at the Office of the Provost today about these iGrade surveys where we rate our instructors and courses.
The email made liberal use of the "Return" key in both versions and listed a fax number at the end. Who faxes anymore?
One sentence, set off by three Returns on either side, read, "We are particularly interested in making sure that students [BLAH BLAH BLAH] have the opportunity to respond to the five questions."
I've done plenty of these surveys, as I'm sure you have, but I had never heard them referred to as "the five questions" before. For all I knew, they threw the questions together a couple of weeks before the survey. But this makes it sound like these are the only five questions that matter. As if there was a rigorous screening process that lasted for years, with technicians in lab coats shouting at each other over the use of the word "challenging" versus "stimulating."
The five questions, like the three robotic laws of Issac Asimov, or the ten things I hate about you; a list of items that represents the combined efforts of the finest minds of the known universe. Here they are. Look on them, and despair:
The course as taught was intellectually challenging.
Overall, the instructor's presentations were understandable.
The instructor was generally accessible to respond to students' questions.
The instructor stimulated my interest in the subject.
Overall, I learned a great deal from this course.
Can you do better? If someone asked you to create a list that would for all time be known as "The Five Questions," what would you include? Here is my humble offering:
Do I get the two sides with that?
Isn't everyone here phony?
Are you a good witch or a bad witch?
If the pig's already dead, why do they cure it?
Who farted?

Cover Reveal: HUNTER BY NIGHT by Elisabeth Staab
It seems like there are awesome new covers popping up left and right these days!!! I LOVE it!!!
Today we get the first look at the newest installment to Elisabeth Staab's Chronicles of Yavn series, HUNTER BY NIGHT!!
As a recap… here are the covers for the first two books in the series…
And now… for book three…
Elisabeth (and her publisher) has been kind enough to share the cover blurb, and a teaser from HUNTER BY NIGHT!!!! I really can't wait to get my hands on this one!!!
Lee protects his vampire race, and hates humans as much as the wizard enemies he kills. Just as he's assessing new recruits to join the vampire king's army, all hell breaks loose. The estate's security system fails, wizards are heading their way, and human-hating Lee is stuck protecting Alexia, the queen's human best friend. But as dangerous obstacles force Alexia and Lee closer, an undeniable attraction is revealed, and the two must find a way to compromise.
Alexia ignored the tremor that traveled from the place where their hands touched, along her arm and down her body, landing a quiver of want deep in her core. Any time now, it would be fan-fricking-tastic if her body could stop reacting to him like he'd been double-dipped in her favorite brand of pheromones.
She reached for her blue Jansport backpack, just next to the bedroom door. He made no move to let go or get out of her way, and she was forced to squeeze past his tree-trunk thigh in the process. She failed horribly at ignoring how frigging huge those legs of his were. How the V of her thighs brushed his leg when she passed, and how her body temperature climbed. Stop staring at his ass. "Right. Got everything ready to go, right here." She cleared her throat.
"Great. I'll drive," he grumbled.
Did he realize, as he tugged her down the hall, that his fingers were still wrapped around her hand?
AHHHHH… I can't wait!!!!! HUNTER BY NIGHT is available for pre-order, and the other two books in the series are available now.

Scottish FA take action against Dunfermline over unpaid Scottish Cup cash
The Pars are accused of failing to pay Hamilton Academical almost £6,000 in gate receipts.
Dunfermline Athletic could be hit with Scottish FA sanctions after allegedly failing to pay Hamilton Academical their share of the gate from a Scottish Cup tie.
STV understands the Pars owe their counterparts nearly £6,000 from their fifth round tie at East End Park on February 2. Hamilton won the fixture 2-0.
Dunfermline have been issued with a notice of complaint by the governing body, accused of breaching rule 320, which states: "all clubs, officials, players or other persons under the jurisdiction of the Scottish FA shall adhere to the Cup Competition Rules."
The home club in Scottish Cup matches is expected to share half of their gate receipts, minus the deduction of a levy. The amount falls due on the day of the fixture, unless an agreement is reached between both teams.
Dunfermline Athletic's case will be heard by a panel on Thursday, March 21.
The likely punishment if found guilty is a fine for the club. The maximum penalty available to the judicial panel is to expel Dunfermline from the competition.

How to Keep Your Children Safe Around Your Hot Tub
On a warm, sunny afternoon, the whole family can enjoy a refreshing soak in your Jacuzzi hot tub. Children find the lure of a hot tub irresistible. However, they do not always appreciate the risks associated with hut tub use. For children to enjoy a hot tub safely, it is vital to take a few simple precautions.
Keep it Covered:
When your hot tub is not in use, ensure that it is secured to prevent adventurous children falling in and becoming trapped. A sturdy hot tub cover with a childproof lock is one of the most important hot tub accessories you can purchase to ensure child safety. A hot tub cover will prevent children accessing the hot tub when you are not around. However, children love to clamber on top of structures. To prevent children falling through your hot tub cover, choose one that will not collapse under the weight of a small child.
Supervision Ensures Safe Play:
When children are using the hot tub, it is vital to supervise them carefully. Accidents can happen very quickly. A slip or trip at the edge of the hot tub can lead to a young child falling in. This can be particularly dangerous if the child cannot swim and has difficulty climbing out. If you are throwing a hot tub party, be sure that supervision duties are made clear. The larger the group, the higher the risk that everyone assumes someone else is supervising the children.
Time Limits:
It is easy for a child to become overheated and dehydrated in the hot tub if they are in it for too long and forget to drink water or fruit juice. When children are having fun, they may lack awareness of how hot they have become, so watch out for any little red faces. Limit the time that children spend in the hot tub to avoid overheating or dehydration.
Prohibit Horseplay:
Older children may enjoy hosting their own hot tub party during the summer. If your children are inviting their friends round for a soak in the hot tub, clearly set out the house rules in advance. Make it an unbreakable rule that there is to be no horseplay, such as diving in or splashing water out of the hot tub on to the surrounding area. Stress to your children that they should never duck under the water or push others under the water to avoid any possibility of long hair becoming tangled in the drains.
Lock Up Your Hot Tub Supplies:
Children are naturally inquisitive and want to help out. Unfortunately, this could include emptying an entire bottle of water sanitizer in to your hot tub. Hot tub supplies, such as water sanitizer, should be safely locked away to ensure that children do not come in to contact with them.
Robert Vadra - About Author:
Your Jacuzzi Ontario hot tub dealer can provide advice and guidance on safety precautions that you can take to ensure that your children have fun and play safely around your hot tub. From childproof covers to booster seats, you can purchase safety-related hot tub accessories at our website www.jacuzziontario.com

The much awaited programme on a serious subject turned out to be most disappointing. It was a poorly disguised attempt at investigative journalism. The so-called investigation that it carried out was confined to one Shariah Council and even that was edited and presented in the most one sided and unbalanced manner. Only the negativities relating to that Council were highlighted. None of the positive work done in the many decades of its existence was even alluded to.It was clearly a predetermined agenda that drove the programme. The agenda appeared to be to create fear and misapprehension amongst viewers that Muslims are running and following a parallel legal system. Nothing could be further from the truth. Shariah Councils are not courts and have no legal basis for their existence. They have no powers of enforcement of their conclusions or recommendations. They operate by agreement of parties and an unhappy party can withdraw from the process at any time. His or her rights under the law of the UK are not compromised in any way. So what, may we ask, is the basis for the allegation or assertion that Shariah Councils are a legal system that is running parallel to the UK law on family matters, property disputes and children's rights etc. Such suggestions are peddled in the hope that if you tell lies enough times, it may be believed as the truth. But that will not happen, as the overwhelming majority of our society is composed of reasonable, tolerant and fair minded people.
Shariah Councils perform a essential role for our communities for whom religious basis for entering into or ceasing a matrimonial relationship is of paramount importance. The Councils provide that service on a voluntary basis by consent of parties concerned. They do not or cannot impose their will or jurisdiction on any person.
Of course we recognise as a minority community our institutions need to be centers of excellence.. We are aware of the problems of good governance and standardization in the work that the Councils do.
We are committed to make improvements and to have a system of self regulation for the Councils on the same or similar method as we have for member mosques of the MINAB. The MINAB will continue to encourage Muslim women to get their marriages registered under UK civil law. It will work alongside the Shariah Councils to get more mosques registered to carry out marriages under the civil laws.
The BBC as a public service broadcaster has done itself no favours by televising a programme which was clearly dishonest and misguided. Panorama is supposed to be a flagship programme of the BBC and one would have expected there to have been more careful scrutiny of the contents of this programme before it was televised.

Education of African Americans in Shelby County, Kentucky — A New Perspective
The January-February 2013 display in the Shelbyville Public Library highlights the long struggle to gain education for African American children in Shelby County, Kentucky. It features 1) Elijah Preston Marrs, a slave that became one of the earliest educators in Kentucky; 2) Lincoln Institute at Simpsonville, a boarding school providing African American children in the region a competent high school education during the segregated Kentucky decades; and 3) photos of the segregated schools at Bradshaw Street Graded School in Shelbyville, the Christiansburg Rosenwald School, and the faculty at High Street School in Martinsville, representative of the hundreds of dedicated teachers who struggled to teach against large class sizes, hand-me-down textbooks and scarce classroom resources.
In preparing the first countywide celebration of African American heritage in Shelby County, a number of important elements of African American education in this county were uncovered:

I'm not normally an internet meme kinda guy. But I like the idea of spreading a little love and knowledge…
Thanks to Maggie at Tech Transformations for the recommendation as a blog to keep an eye on. Actually, I believe the term she used is "Vale a pena ficar de olho nesse blog," an initiative to highlight, well, blogs to keep an eye on!
Learning on the Job is an attempt by me to document my thoughts and experiences as I work my way through my new position. It is becoming my de facto portfolio, one that I would happily point any prospective employer towards as it is equal parts reflective and celebratory. It also serves as a sounding board for my thoughts and ideas; just taking the time to write them down help clarify things for me.
Of course, I don't work or live in a vacuum and I am constantly inspired, motivated and encouraged by my blogging colleagues around the world. Here are 10 of them, presented without commentary:
