We live in an age of endless information. All we have to do is open up a web browser and we have access to limitless facts, opinions and stories from all walks of life and all levels of expertise. On one hand, this can be a useful tool but most of the time, it ends up being frustrating and intimidating. I always tell my patients to stay off of Google when they have a question or concern about their fertility or health in general. With so much misinformation out there, I suggest consulting a professional or reading a book published by an expert in their field.
Over the years, I have accumulated a collection of my favourite books which have been useful to women who want to know more about natural fertility. These books are useful to women at any stage of their fertility journey, whether they are using assisted reproductive technologies, are trying on their own or are simply thinking of trying soon, these books are useful and accurate sources.
- The Infertility Cure by Randine Lewis – this book was written decades ago by a Chinese Medicine practitioner who was treating infertility before Chinese Medicine became a popular option for ladies looking for help with getting pregnant. This book is well written and easy to understand. It is packed with tones of juicy info! Order it here.
- Feed Your Fertility: Your Guide to Cultivating a Healthy Pregnancy with Chinese Medicine, Real Food, and Holistic Living by Laura Erlich and Emily Bartlett – this book was published recently and has the most up to date info. The authors focus on eating for fertility and share many delicious recipes. Order it here.
- Making Babies: A Proven 3-Month Program for Maximum Fertility – by Jill Blakeway and Sami David – this book is an in depth look into fertility from the perspectives of a Chinese Medicine Practitioner and a Medical Doctor – who co wrote the book. If you're really into discovering the ins and outs and love a lot of detail, this book is for you. It is packed with info as well as tools for self diagnosis – this gives readers the opportunity to begin doing things to help fertility, according to their own unique body type. Order it here.
- Reflections of the Moon on Water: Healing Women's Bodies and Minds Through Traditional Chinese Wisdom – by Xiaolan Zhao – This book is the book that made me want to study Chinese Medicine and practice women's medicine. Xiaolan writes about women's health through all stages of life, from menstruation to preganancy to menopause. It is a different and refreshing read as we don't tend to think of the body in the same way in the west. A must read for any woman! Order it here.

The opener, "Zoot Suit", hits you hard with tough riffs and extra horns. You get "Sing Sing Sing" drums, stabbing horns, and a delicious vocal. "When you see him drive by with a big cheroot/ Don't forget to shout "Hey, Mr. Zoot Suit!" Saxman Chris Creviston has a laid-back sound, a gentle groan urged on by the chorus. Guitarist Mark Cally has a modern solo, complete with Wes chords – and it works. It's uptown strut and its struttinest.
"(Let Me) Cater Your Next Affair" is a wink-and-nudge song, with a great leering vocal. Mangus specializes in "gourmet sin", and this dish is spicy in the old sense. "She Can't Dance" takes us into Jordan territory with Cally and Creviston shining bright. But the words are the star: "She can cut you down with just one glance/ But forget about her Joe, 'cause she can't dance." "Oh, but YOU can!" says Mangus as the guitar takes off.
"We move a bit forward – "Gino Goes Wild" is 'Fifties story rock, only Lieber and Stoller were never this torrid. Maria drives Gino wild, and he can't see her designs – he's too busy seeing her thigh. With "Old Life Back" the big band returns, and it might be Gino singing this. "Well, the things I took for granted are what I dream of now/ I want my old life back." Mangus shouts "Play the blues", and the trombone does – and an accordion too! The is the highlight, and shine it does.
"I Wanna Have Fun" describes this well, as does Mangus' opening: "It's Ring-Ring-a-Ding time!" This hymn to hedonism has a great feel and a familiar tune (sounds like the middle part of "You Never Give Me Your Money.") Mangus' pursuit of pleasure is engaging and unrepentant – he says "I ain't a nun", but I kinda figured that out. "Hit Me with a Hotdog" has a traffic noise, knowing sax, and low-budget cool. It's the familiar "no place like home" riff, but with a sardonic eye: "Let's talk about the Yankees; go on swearing in my ear!" "Winsome, Lose Some" is a tongue twister of a song; Creviston gets a great gnarled solo, and Cally's is nice. It's a little too fast, but it has its charm. "Brooklyn Hearted" is a sad slice of the naked city, with full band and total misery. "She'll stash you with her eyes and drown in her hair." The words are especially clever and Mangus' interjections are priceless. At this the album ends, and it leaves you smiling, even through all the sadness.

Elevator Speech Alternative
Does anybody really like giving an elevator speech? They are cumbersome to memorize. They don't sound conversational. They make me want to puke! I don't like giving or receiving them.
Because people don't like giving an elevator speech in one-on-one conversation, all too often, they go to the other extreme. When asked the question "What do you do?" they answer with a boring description of their job title. Yawn.
Would you like an elevator speech alternative, a short, benefit-focused statement that leaves your conversation partner leaning forward, asking for more?
Try a bumper sticker statement! A bumper sticker statement is one sentence that briefly states what you do and what benefit you bring.
Here's a bumper sticker statement I might use:
If I want something shorter and more intriguing, I might use a tag line alternative:
The video (3:46) explains how to craft your bumper sticker!
Try Your Elevator Speech Alternative: The Bumper Sticker!
If you are in a formal networking situation, in which people have 45-60 seconds to give an elevator speech in a group setting, you can expand on your bumper sticker (this is also useful to use in conversation, if the person asks for more details). I've called whomever you do work for your "customer." Even if you aren't in sales you can consider your work as benefiting a "customer.":
I help: _______________________________________________ (your "customer")
with _________________________________________________ (problem you solve, benefit-focused)
When they work with me they _______________________________ (how do you make your "customer's" life better?
This results in: __________________________________________ (positive outcomes)
Your Name
Your Company
Your Tagline
If you are talking with someone one-on-one, this format, which is fine for a short "commercial" at a networking event, will sound stilted. Better to ditch the pitch and just use the elevator speech alternative, the "bumper sticker" in conversation!

Don't Be a Conversation Vampire
A conversational vampire is someone who sucks the life out of a conversation, usually with no ill-intent, in typically one of 3 ways:
- talking too much and not letting others participate
- talking too little and forcing others to carry the conversation
- talking about things that are not interesting to others
There is one simple way to address all three issues: be a mind reader!
OK. I suppose that's not realistic.
But, if you knew what the other person was thinking and feeling, you could adjust your conversation.
You can be a "mind reader" through asking questions, listening for responses and observing body language and facial expressions.
As you are conversing, test how talkative the other person wants to be by asking questions to encourage them to talk. Some people actually do prefer that others talk more and these types of people will sometimes have shorter responses and turn the conversation back to you by asking you a question. Short responses, without a reciprocal question, can mean that a person wants to exit the conversation. Others enjoy having listeners and will go on and on without much prompting. You test the conversational waters to find a balance for the particular person you are talking with.
To avoid being boring by talking about things that people aren't interested in, try to gauge interest by giving some context for the topic, and asking a question to find out what the other person's experience is with that topic. It is helpful to have some "go-to" topics that most people are likely to be interested in. My go-to general topics are health & fitness, recent movies, and children/grandchildren. If I'm at an event, I will have event or industry-specific topics, too.
Body language and facial expressions can tell you a lot about interest. When a person makes lots of eye contact, nods in agreement and leans forward, he or she is intensely interested. Looking away, pointing feet away, repetitive body motions (such as tapping fingers), or yawning, in addition to short answers all indicate disinterest.
Pay attention to your conversation partner and don't be a conversation vampire!

Overcome Conversational Gridlock At Work
"My project has the potential to be a big win for the company," said Dave, a project manager. "I need Asha and Jake full time for at least the next 3 weeks."
"Well, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush!" said Tom, another project manager. "Raven [Tom's project] is with our current biggest customer. Bluebird [Dave's project] can wait."
His lips a thin line and his jaw hard set, Dave glared at Tom across the conference table. Tom's eyes narrowed and returned a cold, steely stare. Neither project manager was going to budge. They had locked horns over the issue of shared resources, specifically the test engineers who supported both of their projects. The company didn't have the budget to hire more test engineers, so Tom and Dave were gridlocked in what was essentially a battle for dominance.
Their boss, who didn't believe in micromanaging his project managers, could have been like Solomon and split the 2 test engineers, but that would have left both project managers feeling resentful, so he told them to "figure it out."
Have you ever felt like this?
What are some ways that you can unlock the horns, stop butting heads and move from gridlock to dialogue when you face an impasse?
1. Stop
When people argue, or are at a frustrating gridlock, emotions can be high and cause an automatic physical stress response, the fight or flight response. The fight or flight response keeps us from danger by making us want to fight or run away. Sometimes, the threat can be so overwhelming that a "freeze response" ("deer-in-the-headlights) is triggered.
Fight, flight or freeze, you may experience increased heart rate and respiration, red or pale face, tense muscles, rapid speech, sweating, tunnel vision and more. What you won't experience is your best quality thinking. Stress can alter and disrupt the executive function of the brain, which affects memory, problem solving and decision-making.
Stop, take a break from looking at the issue the same way, and give yourself a chance to calm down, reflect and better examine the problem.
Here are some ways to "Stop":
Take a break. "I think we need a little break." Depending on the circumstances, you could suggest anything from a short "bio" break (15 minutes) to a few hours, or to another day. For longer breaks, suggest that all parties do some "homework" to examine the true needs, which may involve getting more information, and considering possible alternatives.
Move on to something else. "We seem to be stuck on this issue. Let's move on to another issue and come back to this one later." Ideally, the issue you choose will be one that you can have more conversation. Elimination of conflict isn't the goal, as long as the conversation is moving forward!
Reframe: Stop the trajectory. "Let's take a look at this from a completely different angle." Shift the direction of the gridlocked discussion. In the example of the two project engineers gridlocked over which of their projects more deserved the test engineers, Dave, might have reframed the discussion. "Let's take a look at this from a completely different angle. How would a delay impact each of our customers?"
New Eyes. Stop trying to resolve it yourself. Get another perspective: "I think getting X's perspective might give us some insights." You could have a mutually agreed upon person give his or her perspective, or you could each pick someone to give a perspective. Ideally the person giving a perspective would be one the other party respects.
2. Listen
Listen fully, without interrupting, except to reflect back or clarify. Resist debate until you have fully understood. Most gridlock occurs because both parties feel they have needs and expectations that aren't likely to be met if they "give in." Try to put yourself in the other person's shoes as you listen to try to understand those needs and expectations. Realize that you don't know everything—there may be hidden issues.
In the example above, perhaps Dave had a poor performance review and knows that effectively managing this project is critical to his career. Tom may not know this, and Dave is unlikely to tell him. However, Tom might notice from Dave's body language, voice inflection and choice of words ("My project . . .", "I need . . .") that Dave is personally very invested.
Here are some ways to "Listen":
Focus. This is not the time to be checking your email, or texting. Nor is it the time to be mentally formulating your response. Listening isn't simply waiting for your turn to talk. Listen with your ears and eyes. Your ears hear more than words. Ears pick up tone of voice and pauses. Your eyes read facial expressions and body language, which will enhance meaning greatly (think about those times that someone has misinterpreted your email, because they couldn't see your face or hear your tone of voice).
Limit talk. Limit interruptions to those which enhance understanding, such as reflecting back or asking clarifying questions. Don't jump in to make a point before you have fully understood the other person's point.
Reflect back. If you want to make sure that you understand a particular point, reflect it back (using the same words or paraphrasing), and check that this is really what was meant. Visually reflect back by nodding. Nod when you agree, but also when you understand what someone is saying. Nodding will encourage people to talk more. You can even give verbal nods of encouragement with sounds like "ahhh . . ." and "umhmm."
Take Notes. Taking brief notes will aid your concentration, give you some points ask clarification on and make the other person feel like you are taking them seriously.
3. Clarify
Clarification, at the most basic level, involves asking questions to gain a clear understanding.
Some ways to "Clarify:
5 W's and One H: Who, What, When, Where, Why and How. The 5 W's and One H give you a framework for question categories. For example: Who is responsible? What are the goals? When is it due? Where does it go? Why is this important? How is it used?
Clarify Scope of Issue. What's the problem? How big is it? What does it affect? What are the likely limitations in solving the problem (time, money, resources, technology)? Is there a process?
Clarify method of Issue analysis. Are you just going to talk about the issue or will a formal format or method be used? Will you drill down by asking "Why?" repeatedly? Will you use a SWOT analysis (Strenghts, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats)? Lists? Mind maps? Cause and effect diagrams? Problem tree?
Clarify Criteria. What are the critical criteria for making decisions? Are there specifications to meet? A deadline? How will solution alternatives be evaluated? What is the set of required or mutually acceptable criteria?
Clarify facts vs. opinions. Facts can be checked. Opinions can be supported by facts. Do you have enough relevant facts to form well-supported opinions?
4. Agree
Find a point of agreement.
In gridlocked conversation, people can become so entrenched in their opposing viewpoints that they fail to see the many areas of agreement. A small point of agreement can lead to an avalanche of agreement.
Zoom off. If you can get other people saying "yes" on other issues ("move on to something else)," you not only get a break from the issue at hand, you also build positive lean-forward momentum.
Zoom out. You can zoom out of the situation and look at it more globally, finding agreement on the "big picture" or the company's mission and values and then zoom it back in to the issue at hand.
Zoom in. If you can you can get them saying "yes" on minor points (or even points that are not in contention), you change the nature of the discussion and make it easier to come to an agreement.
You can even have a series of easy questions, that all have the answer "yes," in order to move from gridlock to dialogue.
In the example of the 2 project managers:
Dave: "Tom, we've been butting heads on this issue all week" (Tom nods "yes")
Dave: "Going 'round and 'round is getting us nowhere, right?"
Tom: "You're right on that!" (a second "yes")
Dave: "It seems the problem boils down to us both wanting the same resources at the same time." (Dave goes for agreement on what the problem is)
Tom: "That about sums it up." (a third "yes")
Dave: "So, if we could find a way to use different resources or the same resources, but at different times, then our problem would be solved, right?" (Dave sets up for another way of thinking about the problem).
Tom: "Yeah, but I don't see how that would happen." (a fourth "yes," qualified with skepticism)
At this point, Tom is opening to hear some of Dave's ideas, which might wisely include bringing in a 3rd party perspective. Gridlock has turned to dialogue.
5. Focus on Solutions
In a gridlocked conversation, the problem often seems to be the other person. You end up in a "You vs. Me" battle.
Win or lose, you lose.
If you win, it is a hollow victory if the other person feels resentful and vindictive towards you.
Another approach is "We vs. the Problem." It's not You vs. Me, it's We vs. the Problem. This has the advantage of encouraging cooperation and is a useful mindshift. An even more productive mindshift is "We Find a Solution."
It's not that understanding problems isn't important. But as humans, we have a tendency to get mired in the problems. The reason we tend to focus on problems rather than solutions is that our brains are prediction machines, continually trying to predict outcomes of actions while at the same time trying to minimize risk and maximize reward. Problems are often based on past experience, so it is easier to focus on them. Solutions lie in the uncertain future.
Here are a few ways to get started on focusing on solutions:
Simplify the situation by stating the major clear goals (don't start with a comprehensive, detailed list).
Big Picture. Think whole to parts. Consider the big picture first and then the relevant details.
Small Steps. Act parts to whole. Solve small parts, in small steps. Consider trial solutions to gather data as to feasibility.
Minimize problems with the possible solution, at first. Give the solution a chance to grow in the imaginations before you allow people to snipe at it ("let's focus on how this can work before we pick it apart")
In the example with the project engineers, Dave might have proposed the following trial solution:
Dave: "Tom, would you be willing to try an idea for 3 days? Asha and Jake are willing to work overtime–up to 12 hours a day each, 6 hours for each of our projects. Actually, they both would like the extra money and are OK with working hard for a few weeks. I got the OK from John to try it for a few days, if you are agreeable. He said there would be enough money in the budget to do it for a month, if it works out. Are you willing to try it for 3 days?"
Tom: "Well, I guess we could try it. It will probably push out the schedule. But for 3 days . . . let's do it."
Move your conversations from gridlock to dialogue: Stop. Listen. Clarify. Agree. Focus on Solutions.
I'd love to hear what works for you!

Cope with Work Relationship Problems Strategically
Aside from sleep, work takes up most of our time. And, the most challenging aspects of work are often the clashes with coworkers, clients, management or employees.
Learning how to cope with work relationship problems strategically will reduce your stress and make your job easier.
Psychologists say you can cope by solving a problem (problem-focused coping), or you can cope by avoiding a problem (emotion-focused coping). Ideally, solving a problem would permanently remove the stress, but as some problems are not easily solved, avoiding the problem also will result in stress reduction. Often, you can engage in problem avoidance strategies while simultaneously working on solutions.
The steps are outlined below:
1. Understand the problem and determine the desired outcome. Maybe this is obvious, but don't make assumptions about the problem and don't try to solve a problem without knowing what you want as an outcome. Let's take the problem of an employee who habitually comes in late as an example. You could assume that the employee is late because of poor planning or a lackadaisical attitude, and deal with the problem punitively, or you could find out why the employee is late (maybe their childcare provider is habitually late) and help them explore solutions, while setting clear expectations.
2. Plan. Consider solution approaches.
- Adapt a solution from a similar situation—consider using solutions that have worked in similar situations. Have you had other employees come in late? What have you done? If you don't have a highly similar situation, consider a similar situation, maybe even from your personal life. If your teenager is late for school, how do you cope with that?
- Use a Process. Some relationship problems occur regularly. Have a proven process in place, and maybe even a script. Once you have had a problem, take notes! When it happens again, review the notes and develop a process. If you work for a large company, your HR department may already have processes in place. Having a process in place encourages consistency and fairness, and saves you the time you might agonize over what to do.
- Model the problem with role-playing. Practice your solution. At the very least, do a dry-run in your head. Better yet, practice with someone else.
- Divide and conquer. Break down a big, complex problem into smaller, more easily solvable problems. Perhaps there are multiple problems that contribute to the problem of being late. Consider addressing the smaller problems first.
- Use Trial-and-Error. Trial-and-Error can be preferable to doing nothing, if the steps are small and without grave consequences. In the case of the late employee, you can start with simply asking the employee to come in on time and telling the employee why it's important (to both the company and the employee). If that does not yield the desired results, you can try having a problem-solving discussion, perhaps using a "divide and conquer" approach. Then, if lateness is still an issue, you can try something else, like a written agreement, spelling out expectations and consequences for not meeting the expectations.
- Brainstorm: You can do this alone, but you can also do it with another person, or in a group, if the issue is not confidential. Brainstorming a large number of solutions (let the Post-It Notes fly!) and then reduce the number of solutions by using the above methods.
3. Do. Carry out your solution plan.
4. Check. Check your results.
5. Adjust. If the outcome is not achieved, consider adjusting your understanding, your desired outcome and your solution approach.
6. Consider problem avoidance strategies. A few avoidance strategies:
- Ignore. Some problems, especially if they are minor and not likely to recur aren't worth the energy to solve, or to even avoid. (e.g. someone is late to work because they were in a car accident).
- Separate. Physically separate the problem or conflict-inducing entities. Move seats. Adjust schedules.
- Redirect. Change the subject to one on which there is agreement.
- Distract. Distract yourself or the other person with something more engaging, preferably something that is fun, relaxing or mentally stimulating in a way that is very different than the problem at hand. Give yourself a "time-out" from the problem by going to the employee lounge, listening to music, or switching to a task that you are excited about.
- Reframe. Look at the problem another way. Consider the significance to the "big picture" or to a longer timeline. Ask yourself, "will this matter in 5 years?" Consider how the problem might look from another individuals point of view. Or, better yet, ask yourself, "what is the opportunity in this problem?" An employee's poor communication skills become an opportunity for learning. Loss of a major client becomes an opportunity to grow existing clients and find new, possibly better clients.
- Delay. Put it off until "later." Agree to address the problem at a later time, if putting it off won't have dire consequences.
- Avoid Triggers. With experience, you will learn that certain things may trigger or escalate a problem. It's often easy to see what triggers other people, but you have your own triggers, too. For example, when people are late for an appointment with me, I find that somewhat irritating. I used to find it extremely irritating. I have avoided triggering my anger response by modifying my own behavior. I have a plan in place. First, I almost always confirm appointments the day before with an email. Second, if someone is more than 10 minutes late, I call them and ask if they are on their way (which means that I have taken the time to make sure I have their cell phone number). Third, if I end up waiting, I always have something to do, rather than fume (with a smart phone, this is easy—email, Facebook, Kindle Reader and more are available). Finally, if necessary, I will reschedule.
Do you have any additional coping strategies for solving, or temporarily avoiding problems?

Teen Pregnancy 3 Essay, Research Paper
Teen pregnancy has become such an issue facing America that President Clinton has addressed the issue. Statistics show that every two minutes a teenager gives birth in the United States (Guernsey 6). This means that at least three thousand teenage girls become pregnant everyday and almost one millione teenagers become pregnant every year (www.teenpregnancy.org). Four in ten teenage girls become pregnant at least once before they reach the age of twenty. Because of this high number, the United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate in all of the industrialized world. In New York state alone, 61,700 teenagers become pregant each year, ranking New York number forty two in the U.S. However only 22,197 of those teenagers go on to have the baby, leaving New York number fourteen in teenagers having a baby every year (www.teenpregnancy.org). In the U.S. more than 500,000 teens keep their babies, 100,000 put them up for a doption, and 450,000 choose to have an abortion (Gutman 7).
Sadly, pregnant teenagers in society today are too often labeled as sluts . While the majority of gilrs become pregnant by accident, a small number become pregnant on purpose. These girls feel that they will be loved, or have someone to love, or that a missing void in their ife will be filled. Worst of all some girls plan to become pregnant to heal a relationship or to hold on to a boyfriend. The fact is, if two people are in a unstable, struggling relationship, having baby will just bring on more stress and turmoil. For the other girls who become pregnant by accident this is due to carelessness, lack of knowledege, the it can t happen to me attitude, or just really by accident. For many girls, they are under the false pretense thatthey cannot become pregnant the first time they have sex. Not only is this false, but one out of twenty girls become pregnant the first time they have sex, and ninty percent of all teen pregancies occur within the first year of having sex (Guernsey 19-20).
Pregnancy is a very serious situation for teenagers, because young teenage bodies are not developed enough then the bodies of women who are over twenty. Due to this, the death rate is sixty percent higher among pregnant teenagers under the age of fifteen than among older girls and women (Gutman 24). Babies born to teenagers are twice as likely to die before their first birthdays than are the babies that are born to women in thier twenties,also teenage babies run a hihger risk of being born premature or being born with mental and physical handicaps (Gutman 25). Some teenagers are afraid to tell someone about their situation, so they do not get pre-natal care which harms both the mother and the baby.
When a teenager finds out that she is pregnant, she has three choices: give it up for adoption, keep it, or have an abortion. A large number of these teens choose to have an abortion. Twenty five percent of all abortions are among the teen age population (Bender and Leone 58). For many girls this is an easy way out of a difficult situation and they feel that know one will know that they do not want to know. For some those feelings stay true, but for others a deep sense of depression falls over them for killing something that they made. For other girls that choose not to keep the baby but are against abortion, they give the baby up for adoption. For many girls adoption is a stressful and heart breaking experience, after carrying a baby for nine months and then handing it over to strangers, I don t see how it wouldn t be a heart breaking time. There are agencies that allow mothers to keep in touch with the family, but most girls know that they will never see there baby again. For other girls, they may make all the arrangements for adoption and then after giving birth may change their minds completly and take on their motherly role.
For the teens that keep the baby,they encounter a very challenging situation. They have to get proper health care for example. Many girls are forced to drop out of school and get jobs or the father of the baby drops out of school to support his family, if he stays with the mother. Less than one third of teens who have babies finish school before the age of eighteen (www.teenpregnancy.org). Once a teenager has a baby they have to focus on someone other than themselves, which means they can not do what they want when they want anymore. Their lives revolve around their baby and its needs. Many unmarried teen mothers end up poor or on welfare. Every year the federal government spends about forty billion dollars to help teenage mothers (Flinn & Hauser 15). However for some teenagers watching their baby grow or the bond that they share is a reward for their hard work.
An often over looked part of teenage pregnancy is the role of the father. About 1.1 million males father babies every year (Ayer 27). Approximately ten percent of fathers marry the mother of their baby. Some fathers care for their baby and pay child support but do not stay with the mother, or sadly some fathers refuse resposibility and do not give support in any way. A fatherly role is very important in child raising, so some communities and schools are now starting programs for teenage fathers and educating boys about teenage pregnancy. Many teen fathers may at first feel out of place, scared, and not educated enough to become a father. They may feel that a whole financial burden is now being placed on them, or that they will not be able to provide for their family. This leads to many fathers skipping out on their responsibility. Programs are now being designed to give fathers emotional support so that they will be able to handle becoming a teenage father, and to realize that there are benefits and obligations of fatherhood. As the article states the benefits to children, families, and society of the commitment of fathers are undisputed. Therefore, it is worth the time and effort of schools and community organizations to implement programs for young fathers that will enable them to develop into responsible adults, meet thier obligations, and create a generation of well-nutured and effectively educated children (www.ed.gov.html).
For the unfortunate teen that has no support there a teen pregnancy houses that house both mother and child. Many clinics such as Planned Parenthood give free or low cost care to mother and child and offer services to help ease the teens time of confusion. Community-wide teen pregnancy prevention efforts are also underway (Dryfoos 214). The National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregancy was organized in 1996 and is focused on reducing the rate of teen pregnany in the United States,to improve the well being of children and to try to reduce child poverty.
In conclusion, teen pregnancy is an issue that should be taken seriously. With the growing rate of teenagers getting pregnant every year more steps should be taken to try to eliminate teen pregnancy. Perhaps these steps should be educating children while their younger or a better sense of birth control for teens or showning pictures of abortions, like they did in my high school. This may be cruel, but how many people who see the pictures will want to get this done after they see what it does.Teenagers are using abortions as a way of birth control , they feel that if they become pregnant there is always an abortion. Abortions can not be like that. If more teens are serioulsy educated then possibly less teens will be careless and the rate of pregnany will decrease. It might sound ridiculous, but maybe parents should really give the birds and the bees talk , because if children hear it from their parents they may take sex more seriously. Some children have sex to feel cool or just to fit in. It cannot be like that and children need to be taught that.Teen pregnancy is a serious risk for both the mother and the child. Many teenagers do not know about these risks and they need to know before it is to late and they are stuck in a situtaion that they can not get out of. The programs for teen fathers are wonderful because they really tell the boys how it is. Many boys do not know the risk of pregnancy and everything that it entails, these prograns will help to work with them and possibly scare them or at least give them a little more knowledge. Having a baby will change a teens whole life and the steps that are being taken will hopefully work to help teen mothers and fathers and help to lower the birth rate in teens. There is many books out that show cases of teen pregnancy, they should be read to get to know the effects that a baby has on a teens life. With the statistics and facts givin, I really learned so much on teen pregancy and hopefully others will to.

With the release of the M15 Core set, it's both a very exciting time for magic, with the reprintings of many important and valuable cards, such as Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, Liliana Vess, and Chord of Calling, as well as the printing of many interesting new cards! The new planeswalkers are all of course very interesting and will most certainly see play, but today I want to talk about some particular cards, or rather, I want to discuss this card:
Many players are comparing this card to a goblin legacy staple, Goblin Piledriver, and while it certainly isn't as powerful as that card, it definitely has a lot of potential. Personally, I compare it more to the likes of a more immediate creature version of Goblin Assault. It remains to be seen if the card will have an affect on Modern, but I most certainly think it'll have an affect on Standard.
Some brief history for me as a player: I began magic in the middle of the Scars Block, right before Mirrodin Besieged came out. While I began with White Tokens, my first real competitive deck was Mono-Red Goblins, so needless to say I'm definitely a little a biased towards Goblin based decks in any format. As such, seeing Goblin Rabblemaster sparks that creative light in me to try and make one of my favorite tribal decks.
Considering how Goblins are a mostly cheap lot for the most part, consisting mainly of one drops, I figured the best form for Standard Goblins to take is that of the relatively popular Boss Sligh deck. However, this is a goblin deck, so lets make it as goblin as possible!
Boss Goblins
You'll see the obvious participants for Boss Sligh: Legion Loyalist, Foundry-Street Denizen, Titan's Strength, Madcap Skills, as well as the odd couple out of Akroan Crusader and Dragon Mantle. We've already talked about the Rabblemaster, so lets look at some of the newcomers to the horde:
I've always thought this card was a real powerhouse. 3 power for 2? And it's has haste?! So imagine my surprise when it saw little to no play throughout its tenure. Having only 1 toughness definitely makes it a hard sell, but 3 power with haste on turn 2 and synergizes with goblins is just too good a deal to pass up. This does introduce a second color to worry about, but a full set of Blood Crypts will help us. Just get one and we're golden.
At first, I wasn't completely excited about this guy, but then I began to think about all the annoying huge creatures that Green Devotion decks are capable of getting out and how much it's worth getting past a single enemy that you don't want blocking your assault. Suddenly I feel this guy is immensely useful in the deck and definitely helps the deck's goal of out racing the opponent.
Lets say Frenzied Goblin isn't enough. Maybe you don't get him out in time or the opponent has dropped Elspeth and made a wall of tokens that you unfortunately don't have Legion Loyalist to help out against them. You just want to get some damage past that wall and into the opponent's face. Thankfully, Stoke the Flames does just that, allowing for a least a little burst of damage to help out. Additionally, the convoke mechanic helps if you have Rabblemaster out and you don't want to blindly through out certain goblins to their presumed doom.
You know what's scarier than a horde of 1/1s that can be really difficult to defend against? A horde of 2/2s.
You know what's scarier than a horde of 2/2 that Hall of Triumph brings? A horde of 3/3s or higher. Once again, the convoke works with Rabblemaster in case you don't want certain goblins to die in a fruitless assault. The down side is you might leave yourself very open to a counter attack during the turn that you cast this. However, if you survive, suddenly your opponent has a very intense army to deal with. Example, I once had my opponent at 15 life against my army of six 1/1s goblins, including Legion Loyalist plus a Goblin Rabblemaster, an Akroan Crusader, and a soldier token it had created and 4 lands. Tap out of lands and the Crusader and Soldier Token to bring out Obelisk and suddenly, I have more than lethal, especially when the trample and first strike aspect that Loyalist brings, and even more so when Rabblemaster is suddenly swing for 11. The damage is just fantastic.
And such is the first draft of Boss Goblins. With Khans of Tarkir on the horizon, the deck is sure to change as we reach that rotation period (God, I'm going to miss you in standard Legion Loyalist). With goblins being already confirmed on the planes of Tarkir, I certainly hope the idea of a goblin themed deck lives on into the next standard season. Until then.

Learn about Brookdale College linebackers, and registering for elective seminars and discussion sections. Not all recruiting is done like NCAA Division I teams. College coaches want to hear from serious recruits throughout their high school career. Don't be shy to send videos of your best games to college coaching staff or scouts. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Brookdale College Football information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Brookdale College.
You don't have to quarterback the university football team to a state championship to earn an athletic scholarship. Most major sports that field a team in intercollegiate competition have sports scholarships available. From women's gymnastics to men's track and field, coaches are seeking players to build a team around. Further, that leadership role often is accompanied by a full-scholarship.
The best time to begin searching for scholarships is before your senior year, in order to meet deadlines. Schools confirm that it is important to file financial aid forms such as the CSS Profile early in the school year. There are many sports scholarships that focus on less tangible qualities, such as the ability to lead a team, motivate others, and learn new skills rapidly. Take stock of your athletic abilities as you mature through high school. Golden West College outdoor recreation may encourage student-athletes to apply via early decision. Students who are considering applying via early decision should be aware of the rules and obligations that this commitment entails. Beyond consideration for Brookdale College linebackers, you may think about Vernon College course catalog for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

I was wondering if someone could help me find out why and correct the problem as to why my sub-menu will no longer show up. If you go to my website in the main menu, i have several menu categories i.e. how money works, finance 411, contact that all have sub-categories that were created underneath them. They use to work however over the course of the past two days they no longer will show. They are suppose to be in the drop down and the menu still indicates that they are there as it has the little arrow icon as if you can drop down but it will not. Any help in fixing this matter would be greatly appreciated. The website address is http://www.tomorrowisadayaway.com

Step-by-step Hair Tutorial of The "Zyzz" Aesthetic Hairstyle
Want to sport the Zyzz hairstyle? This hair tutorial will teach you how to achieve that aesthetic look in a snap.
To borrow a statement from Rogelio's book, The Curly Hair Book (Chapter 5):
"The difference between a men's haircut and a men's hairstyle is that the latter has the hair manipulated day in and day out so as to put it into a style or look."
Hence, the Zyzz hairstyle requires precise manipulation to make it look artistic. Bookmark this hair tutorial so you can easily refer to it whenever you want to sport the Zyzz look.
Aziz "Zyzz" Sergeyevich Shavershian (born March 24, 1989) was popular for these 3 phrases that are now a part of internet culture:
- U mirin'? (Are you admiring my body/my hair?)
- U jelly? (Are you jealous of my body/my hair?)
- U mad? (Are you angry at this or that?)
Zyzz may have been a narcissist, but his spirited nature and goal in having a beautiful body made him an online sensation. However, not only Zyzz's aesthetic body was in the spotlight but his hair as well.
During his celebrity days, Zyzz was sporting a pseudo Metro Mullet hairstyle (named by Rogelio and inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo) – a hairstyle that is short length. At its longest, Zyzz's hair had an estimated 3 inches on the top and 2 inches on the side and back of the head. Here are photos of Zyzz's most popular hairstyle. (continue reading below for Zyzz's hairstyle how-to):
Check out Zyzz's hair and funny dancing skills!
[embedyt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5Zfcfm8j7E[/embedyt]
Step-by-step Guide to The Zyzz Hairstyle
Zyzz's hairstyle was mainly a Faux Hawk with the front parted to the side. The sides and back of the head were done in an unkempt manner; using a flat iron to enhance the sharp-look length of his hair.
- After showering, dry hair until damp.
- Coat hair with a generous amount of heat-protecting hair product. This will protect your hair from damaging it with the hair straightener.
- Blow-dry hair using a comb to gently hold several locks of hair at a time to work on with the blow dryer. Ensure hair is dry before straightening it.
- Using a hair straightener, go through different segments of your scalp. Straighten locks until you have straightened all the hair in your head.
- Once done, apply pomade and style like this:
- Top of the head: Lift all hair up and style it towards the center making a crest. Flatten hair on the front of the head, parting this hair to the right. You may leave a small fringe as desired (Zyzz used to do this.).
- Sides of head: Try lifting hair up a bit so it's at an angle from the scalp. The hair next to the ear must have its definition enhanced by using a bit more pomade as you run your fingers through your tresses. The enhanced definition on this part of the scalp will produce the illusion of floating sideburns.
- Back of the head: Do as for the sides of the head but try lifting the hair around the nape slightly further up, creating a small pseudo mullet.
Once done styling, use a comb to give final touches to the top and fringe.
Things to Remember while Doing The Zyzz Hairstyle
- The hair should have a messy element to it so raise the hair up as you style it with the pomade in your fingers.
- Try using your fingers when styling and use a comb when blow-drying hair to hold the locks that are being blow-dried. Similarly, use a comb to give finishing touches to the top and fringe.
- To give shine and structure to hair, run your fingers through the tresses from the base to the tips with pomade to coat the defined locks. Do as many locks as you want like this.
- Dry your hair with a towel or t-shirt before blow-drying hair and use a heat-protecting hair product to prevent damage.
- Make sure your hair is dry or damp before blow-drying or else you'll fry your hair!
Hairstyling Products to Use for The Zyzz Look
Pomade can be used for this hairstyle. You may use hair mousse or hair wax as well. These 3 are the best hair products as they suit most styles. Try out these 3 hairstyling products below.

Camera is used to capture images by recording light, other electromagnetic radiation or any image sensors. The lens inside the device is used to focus on the reflected light or the real images are caught on the light sensitive surface inside the camera. This is electronically processed and stored in a digital image format file.
Photography is used for entertainment, science, business and other recreational purposes. As we know the national geographic is the source pictures which are taken in the wild forests, underwater, shooting of marine life and mountains. The interesting part here is there are many accessories used for underwater photography. People capture images in the water which is specially done while scuba diving, swimming.
For capturing the best images with clarity at the bottom of the sea, few specialised equipment's and techniques are used. They are:
Waterproof cameras: These are popular for marine life shooting and snorkels. These are best for the wet boat rides or underwater photography. These devices are designed in such a way that, it can inhibit up to 10 meters into a dive. Different brands provide devices for safe aquatic camerawork. Example: Canon, Fantasea, Olympus, Ikelite etc. are famous for waterproof cameras.
Underwater strobes: These tools increase the quality of photos by adding strobes. The brilliant colours of the ocean and the marine are captured by them, which range in eminence and power. The Fantasea line called as nano spotter is of LED light. Ikelite is supreme in devices for diffuser for sub strobes with mount light and battery.
Underwater housings: Housings are not available for few cameras excluding the SLR and DSLR. So research on the options available, check for the manufacture products like polycarbonate or aluminium which act as housings and helps with durability. Such additional features are added so they are expensive. Nikon is offering the best waterproof camera with housing and different image sensors.
Arms: For connecting the strobes, cameras and housing arms are very useful as the person cannot handle the gadgets separately. The varieties arm holders available are Strobe Head M, Double Ball Strobe Head, ball camp, extra grip, camera tray adapter etc.
Lenses: Aquatic frameworks need various best quality lenses as they are the fragile parts. Practically we can see them in the marine life filmmaker. The lens selection is very important like the macro or wide angle and number of specifications. There are lenses for the digital SLR and SLR. Always check for the reviews and then purchase it.
In the present era, photography is the result of combination of numerous technical discoveries. The photographer needs specialised equipment's and cases for underwater photography. These give more desirable features like external flash unit, control access and large memory card. These devices have come into the market with different brands, varieties, specifications and functionalities.

SALT LAKE CITY (KSL) – Six Utah-based tattoo artists organized an event Monday to raise funds for Utah's Rape Recovery Center, as well as a way to speak out against sexual assault.
Some started setting up camp outside the Salt Lake City tattoo shop at 6 a.m. Monday, and by 1 p.m. more than 750 people had put their names on the waiting list to get the free cat tattoo.
"We didn't expect it to get this big," tattoo artist Sarah de Azevedo said.
It started with an idea de Azevedo had to raise awareness about sexual assault, then five other Utah-based tattoo artists joined in and helped organize the event — a fundraiser for Utah's Rape Recovery Center.
"Pussycat tattoos to give people a reminder, make them feel empowered," de Azevedo said.
The idea was sparked after the 14-year veteran artist heard the audio released of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's off-the-record conversation with Access Hollywood host Billy Bush.
"I was pretty upset when the Trump tapes came out … the purpose of the art is to call attention to those words that are now famous and how inappropriate and inexcusable they are," de Azevedo said.

In Japan when someone sees something that is amazing, beautiful, or just plain cool you will hear the expression "Sugoi". We are attempting to a website that will bring out the best in education and teaching practice. If we find teaching experiences or practice that is Amazing, beautiful, or simply just plain cool we will be sharing it here. We will soon be opening things up to allow you to share some of the amazing things that you have seen or done.
What's EdTechReview? EdTechReview, is a collection of blog posts that the founder of Sugoi Teaching Michael Yardley has done over the past several years. While the complete blogs, have not been imported because many are old and irelevant, most of the best posts are now here, and all future blog posts regarding tecnology will be found here.
Why the Survey? Sugoi Teaching is looking for the best in education. We also want to focus on the most important and most needed areas ineducation. The Survey allows us to see what is going on in education, gather some of the best techniques being used, and see where specific needs are not being met. We will parse the information gathered and revevant results will be shared through a variety of posts and a page dedicated the results. Our goal is to have over 20,000 respondants, so we will be withholing data results untill we get close to that number, but the best of the teaching ideas will be released in blog as soon as we can review them.

(CNN) – The item at the top of many Christmas lists isn't all it's cracked up to be. Some parents say the Hatchimals their children received on Christmas morning will not hatch.
The toy is supposed to hatch from an egg when children knock, tap, or rub on the shell after about 30 minutes of playtime. The Hatchimal inside responds with lights and sounds and eventually hatches into a creature kids can talk and engage with.
Unhappy customers are airing their frustrations with the toy on Twitter. Parent company Spin Master is urging customers to contact them via direct message on Twitter, but tweets show it's been difficult to get a response from the brand. Spin Master did not respond to requests for comment.
Full statement from Spin Master:
Spin Master is committed to making life more fun for children around the world with all of our products. While the vast majority of children have had a magical experience with Hatchimals, we have also heard from consumers who have encountered challenges. We are 100% committed to bringing the magic of Hatchimals to all of our consumers. To ensure all queries receive a timely response, we have increased the number of Consumer Care representatives, extended our hours, and increased the capacity for callers in the queue to help prevent calls dropped due to the holiday volume. We have also created troubleshooting tips on Hatchimals.com and a video with the Top 5 Things To Know About Hatchimals: https://youtu.be/didliyZclcQ.
We are committed to doing everything possible to resolve any consumer issues. We sincerely apologize and thank everyone who is experiencing an issue for their patience.
Spin Master's Consumer Care team can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Last week, I gave a program on how to take a better selfie.
- It was part of a conference kick-off.
- My goal was to break the ice for the event.
- And boy did we!
Taking a good selfie is a must-have skill for everyone these days.
- And yet, many still resist.
- They don't like how they look – even some of the beautiful people!
- Or, they never really learned how to do it.
Speaking for 20 years professionally, I've been photographed a ton.
- Also interviewed fabulous fashion photographers for a podcast show.
- The result?
- I know interesting body facts to take off years and pounds when used.
We had the entire room on their feet shooting photographs like crazy.
- Different angles, different poses, different looks.
- It's amazing what difference a few inches can make!
- Or taking photos in what feels like a really wrong way!
Participants snapped selfies so quickly, even the reluctant folks got caught up in the fun of the experience.
- We shot more than 30 photos in 30 minutes!
- People took photos like crazy throughout the entire meeting.
- Lots of happy new friends.
Playing with angles on my phone camera fascinates me – and sharing my insights brings great joy.
- What can share that lights you up with joy?
- The photo here at the end was taken sitting on a wooden throne at the Fairmont in Banff Springs.
- (Had to be a good role model and walk, er, shoot the talk!)

About Our Newsletter
OSTI is the DOE office that collects, preserves, and disseminates DOE-sponsored R&D results. We hope this newsletter broadens public understanding of who we are and how best to use our products and services.
Issue Contents
- Science.gov, Now with Multimedia, New Search Features; Spanish Version Debuted
- The Manhattan Project: A 70th Anniversary Observance
- Exploring DOE Data Treasure
- DOE Programs Designate Technical Information Officers for DOE Scientific and Technical Information Program
- Meet Associate Director Brian Hitson

Science.gov, Now with Multimedia, New Search Features
Spanish Version Debuted
Science.gov, the gateway to U.S. federal science hosted by the Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI), now includes multimedia content and additional features, including an updated interface with enhanced navigation to help users find the science information they need. For the first time, R&D video from the DOE ScienceCinema is available as well as video from MedlinePLUS, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the National Science Foundation (NSF). Images from the Library of Congress and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been added to the image search which is now integrated under a new multimedia tab on the results page. Search enhancements include visual representations of topical information in an easy-to-use touch and dial format.
In addition, a Spanish version of the site has been launched. Ciencia.Science.gov provides the same breadth and depth in scientific search as does Science.gov, covering over 200 million pages of authoritative U.S. government science information. This includes free access to research and development results from 17 organizations within 13 federal science agencies, and more than 55 scientific databases and 2,100 selected scientific websites. Integrating Microsoft's Translator, Spanish-language queries to Science.gov initiate searches of U.S. databases and websites with results appearing in Spanish.
Science-gov includes key DOE research and development (R&D) databases of full-text documents, citations, patents, e-prints, accomplishments, multimedia, data, software and more, all covered in the DOE Science Accelerator. OSTI conceived and helped launched Science.gov in December 2002 to get DOE R&D results out to the scientific community and beyond – and to get the community's results into DOE. Traffic to the site has grown enormously over the past 10 years; while there were some 750,000 Science.gov page requests in its first year, these grew to more than 34,000,000 in the 2012 fiscal year that ended September 30. Read more.
The Manhattan Project: A 70th Anniversary Observance
We are marking the Manhattan Project's 70th anniversary with a series of articles posted on the OSTI website. OSTI grew out of the post-World War II initiative to make the scientific research of the Manhattan Project as freely available to the public as possible.
One month following the August 13, 1942 establishment of The Manhattan Engineer District, the Army appointed Leslie R. Groves to head the top-secret program. In 1945, General Groves mandated that all classified and unclassified information related to the development of the atomic bomb be brought together into one central file. Thus, in 1947, the office now known as OSTI became home to one of the world's most comprehensive collections of energy-related information, with separate operations for classified information.
Today, OSTI's collection of DOE R&D Accomplishments showcases remarkable advances in science. A section about the Manhattan Project includes information about the Manhattan Project sites and their contributions, key events and scientists.
Exploring DOE Data Treasure
What Is a DOI?
A DOI, or digital object identifier, is a permanent, electronic identification assigned to individual documents or datasets. This gives the content more stable linking, and aids in citation, discovery and retrieval of R&D results and scholarly publications. When available, DOIs are added to records in OSTI databases for journal articles, conference papers, theses and dissertations, books, book chapters, and technical reports.
There are databases, and then there are treasure maps. The DOE Data Explorer (DDE) merges the two concepts into a product offering the best of both. DDE's database provides the features needed for simple retrieval or advanced searching. The treasure map aspect comes from DDE's content, which links you to collections of data and non-text information wherever those collections reside. (Read more at the OSTIblog.)
Instead of sailing the seven seas, you can browse DDE's seven types of content. Choose "Browse by Content Type" from the drop down menu on the DDE homepage and hit the "Submit" button. Each one of the seven categories shown on the results page will open a list of every collection tagged in DDE with that particular type of content. Or, select "DOE Data Centers" on DDE'S menu bar and try some of the highly specialized interfaces that will help you dig deeper. Search the database by subject categories or visit some of the hundreds of organizations listed in DDE citations as partners and collaborators. Pick up the widget for your web page. However you choose to follow the treasure map of the DOE Data Explorer, you're almost certain to find new paths you've never followed before, new resources you haven't used before, and the prize of information you'll want to bookmark for frequent return. So follow the "Browse" links and explore the rich realm of DOE's data and non-text information at the DOE Data Explorer.
Search Tip
Authors of technical reports are often listed with only last name and initials. This means that if you search using an author's first and last name, you may miss important publications that don't use the full first name. Help for this can be found when searching the DOE Information Bridge and Energy Citations Database by using Author Select, found on the Fielded Search page. Choose the "Select" button next to the Creator/Author search box. Entering the author's last name and first initial will allow you to browse and select the variations of the author's name that you want to search.
DOE Programs Designate Technical Information Officers for DOE Scientific and Technical Information Program
Thanks to the seven Department of Energy program offices that have newly designated representatives to serve as technical information officers (TIOs) in the DOE Scientific and Technical Information Program (STIP). This development broadens current Departmental representation in STIP and will help bolster the availability of DOE research and development results and other forms of scientific and technical information (STI).
Under the DOE STIP, OSTI and designated scientific and technical information (STI) stakeholders from across the DOE complex work together to increase the availability and transparency of various types of STI, using best practices, while ensuring coordination of related policy and communication of new developments impacting STI management.
DOE Order 241.1B, the directive governing STI management that was revised in December 2010, reiterated the call for Departmental elements that fund or set policies affecting STI to appoint formal STI points of contact (or TIOs) to participate in the DOE STIP with OSTI, TIOs at field offices, and STI managers at national laboratories.
OSTI Director Walt Warnick held a series of meetings earlier this year with program offices regarding STIP, and subsequently seven offices helpfully have named TIOs: Advanced Research Projects – Energy (AR), Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EE), Office of Environmental Management (EM), Office of Fossil Energy (FE), Office of Nuclear Energy (NE), Office of Electricity and Energy Reliability (OE) and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NA). For more information, see a list of the program office STIP TIOs (and field office TIOs and lab STI managers).
Meet Associate Director Brian Hitson
Brian Hitson is the DOE OSTI Associate Director for the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI). His duties include administrative and financial management, classified information activities, the digitization and preservation of a 1.2 million scientific document repository, cost-reimbursable work supporting DOE and other customers, and international information exchange programs. Brian has led OSTI's involvement in public-private partnerships, including the launch of the OSTI multimedia product ScienceCinema. He played a key role in the development of WorldWideScience.org and in the establishment of the WorldWideScience Alliance. Brian represents the United States and DOE in the International Energy Agency's Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDE) and the International Atomic Energy Agency's International Nuclear Information System (INIS). He has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics and a Master's in Business Administration, both from the University of Tennessee.

Belmont Intermediate School- 5 kW
Twenty solar photovoltaic (pv) panels have been arrayed onto the gymnasium hall roof in a partnership between the school and Genesis Energy's Schoolgen educational programme. This adds up to 5 kilowatts of power generation capacity which over the course of the year is expected to contribute upwards of 6000 kilowatt-hours of electrical energy per year to the school. Almost all of this solar generated electricity will be consumed immediately within the school and will help ease the schools energy bills.
The solar panels are now operational- live graphs of solar and grid consumption are available below !
The interactive graph below shows the electricity generation from the school PV array - you choose how much detail you would like to see. Now you can view the schools electricity imported from the grid in real-time and see the percentage supplied by solar for any time period selected.
5 kW solar PV system. Student roll ~560.
Direction of panels: Due North. Pitch of the panels: ~15 degrees.

So I realized that in the past 5-6 days, the 300 or so messages I have sent... none of them have been answered, and no one has looked at my profile... even if you assume a low response rate(a few percent) that is VERY unusual.. and usually a decent % at least looks at my profile... I then discovered it is because NONE OF MY MESSAGES GOT THROUGH...this is on OkCupid... has anyone had this problem? Like what the hell! All that time and effort and they didn't even receive it! So I had to contact support.. hopefully it is fixed soon.
Most Helpful Guy
300 messages in 5-6 days? Either you have a ton of time on your hands or you're cut and pasting a bland message to all the girls on the site.
Are they not in your sent box at all? If you're spamming that many messages with a cut and paste message I wouldn't be surprised if OKC did something like flag your account as a spammer or soemthing.00|00|0
no, I type 160 WPM and I process information quick... They are personalized and often funny or catchy.
They are. It's a bug. The messages are NOT being received.
Also, read what I wrote dude. None of the messages are the same, or even close to being the same.
