With Easter quickly approaching, my friends & I are planning quite the celebration for Sunday. Naturally, we're planning the menu, activities {the annual egg roll competition... it gets competitive} and stocking up on festive decorations. Of course, I'm most excited about my favorite Easter tradition- decorating eggs- which obviously requires careful attention and precision. This year, there are so many fun ideas... it's hard to decide!! Here are a few of our faves:
Calligraphed eggs {of course we love these ones!!}
Pantone eggs {obviously!}
Any suggestions on which route to take?! What fun ideas do you have for decorating eggs this year?

Under Armour acquires Denver-founded MapMyFitness for $150 million
Sports apparel giant Under Armour said Thursday that it is acquiring MapMyFitness, a fitness tracking platform, for $150 million.
Robin Thurston and Kevin Callahan started the company in Denver in 2007 and moved it to Austin, Texas, in September 2010 after securing $5 million in funding from Austin Ventures.
MapMyFitness passed 16 million registered users in May, according to its website. Under Armour said that figure is now at 20 million.
"We will build on the community of over 20 million registered users that MapMyFitness has cultivated in the connected fitness space," Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank said in a statement, "and together we will serve as a destination for the measurement and analytics needs of all athletes."
MapMyFitness will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Under Armour and will remain based in Austin.
"The combination of Under Armour's powerful commitment to athletes and innovation and our connected fitness technology allows us to better serve the needs of athletes around the world," Thurston said.
Under Armour said it will finance the deal with cash and a revolving credit line. The deal is expected to close by the end of the year.
In 2011, MapMyFitness employed more than 40, including 30 at its downtown Denver office. An Under Armour spokeswoman said Thursday that MapMyFitness currently employs 100 nationwide and 29 in Denver.

If there's one thing Tom and I would pick to do together in our spare time, it wouldn't be going on a night out or a trip to the cinema. It would be walking. There's something about going for a walk that we both connect with more than other activities. And in the two and a half years we've been together, I can safely say that we've never walked the exact same route more than once.
Before I met Tom I liked walking, but it's only since I've met him that he's opened my mind to seeing it in a completely different light. It's just the two of us. Nobody else. No problems, no hurdles to cross. We're just together with only the noise of nature and the sound of our thoughts that we hear.
Usually, Tom will pick a route for us when we go on a walk and I'll have absolutely no idea where we are. But that's how I like it. I like the facts he tells me. I like being surprised at turning a corner. I like all the animals we come across, like friendly dogs and lazy sheep. I like waiting for the smallest moment to reveal itself.
I've also started walking with my family more. It was something I wanted to share with them. The nature, the small moments, the feeling. There's something about going for a walk that's so simple, yet so magical at the same time. We come home we stories. We discuss things. We laugh. It doesn't cost money. You don't need expensive gear. You can just put your trainers on, pick a direction and go.
Let's chat in the comments - is walking a big part of your life?

No "Black Friday" please, we're Canadian
"Black Friday" is the day after American Thanksgiving, and the observed start of the earnest Christmas shopping season south of the border. It is named after the belief that it's the day when retailers go "in the black" for the first time in the calendar year, because that day brings so much instant business.
To make this happen, stores offer incredible discounts on certain in-demand products in limited quantities. Which causes customers to line up hours in advance for "door-crasher" promotions, and stampede into the stores causing mayhem and injuries. And as stores try to one-up each other for the business, "Black Friday" has turned into "Black Thursday After Thanksgiving Dinner" for many unfortunate, un-unionzed retail employees.
Not only is the third Friday in November meaningless on the Canadian calendar, it's an ugly symbol of selfish consumerism trumping human decency. But worst of all, it's as "wannabe American" as you can get.
When I brought this topic up on Facebook, a friend and reader pointed out that Canadian businesses are mimicking American cousins to try to stem the flow of one-way cross-border shopping that happens every November. And these promotions really do increase sales for a day.
But I still don't like it. Our Thanksgiving was last month, and the start of our Christmas shopping season was last week (after Remembrance Day). If Canadian retailers want to fight back against the lure of the south on one day a year, why not do so in a uniquely Canadian way? Make the third Friday in November "Buy Canadian Day" and offer the same sales with a smirk and an "eh?," eh?
I just hope we can do better than this.

2. Teach each lesson as though it were the last./
We've all had students who showed up unprepared every single time. You know this person is going to eventually quit, and you wish that day would be today because you're sick of the stagnant half hour in your week.
So if this were the student's last lesson, how would it be different?
Often, a student's second-to-last lesson consists of a giant practice lecture. "if you don't practice, you can't learn to play."
Sometimes the parent gets the same lecture, and sometimes it's a team effort: parent and teacher, united against the student. "You're not making progress. This is a waste of money. When I remind you to practice, you throw a temper tantrum. Learning an instrument takes work."
Nobody leaves this conversation feeling good.
When the student comes back, it is now his last lesson. He's quitting. So now what?
You have to find some pleasant way to get through the lesson. The lesson is pointless and certainly no practicing will happen from this point forward, so you might as well have a little fun. Play through some easy material, do some improvisation, maybe even play a game. Everyone leaves feeling good, and that's that.
If you had known last week that the next lesson would be his last, would you have given the same practice lecture?
Maybe, if you are trying to get rid of students who don't practice.
But remember, our job is to create strong, independent practicers. We can influence the outcome here.
How do you create practicers? By maintaining, in every lesson, a warm, positive atmosphere like the one you would have in the last lesson.
Yes, we want results. But if a student feels good about himself and his relationship with you and the piano, he is going to be someone who gets results.
Your higher expectations cannot create better results, but your positive expectations will.
"I know you can do better," puts the onus on the student. On the other hand, "I have faith in you," conveys your belief in the student and sends the message that he isn't alone.
Over time, the expectation of continued growth, good feelings about what has been done well, and permission to not be perfect will result in greater progress with less effort. It starts with realizing that each lesson could be the student's last. We all want to be kind and loving to our students. We need to drop the practice baggage and allow ourselves to do that.
In the spirit of connecting with your fellow teachers, I invite you to share your thoughts on this post in the comments. Consider the following:
- What, in this post, felt new to you?
- What action might you take in relation to the ideas in this post?
- What follow-up questions or suggestions do you have?

Florence Cosnefroy was born in Lorient, and lives and works in Nanterre, France.
Florence is a mixed-media artist and sculptor. She's currently developing an artwork entitled 'Colorama' that deals with representations of colour, as well as carrying out research for her PhD in history of art at the university Paris Ouest Nanterre La Défense.
Through interactivity, her work asks questions about what it means for the spectator to have a certain position in society. In one instance, her work is displayed on a soon-to-be-destroyed building. It recaptures the colours painted on the doors of each of the building's inhabitants.
She has directed a short film of 25 minutes entitled 'Des couleurs et des voix, vingt-cinq portes du bâtiment F,' or: 'colours and voices, twenty-five doors of building F'. She lectures at the ENS in Paris, and teaches at the Ateliers d'Arts Plastiques de la Ville de Nanterre.

Inference QR Code Freebie
Happy Friday Everyone!
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to post volume 6 of my morning work spiral review last week. I hope to have it out by Monday with volume 7 as well. I had every intention of doing so; however, my week took a frustrating turn. On Thursday we found out our student growth data from state testing...needless to say, it wasn't what I had hoped for. The proficiency was evident, but the overall growth was minimal. I spent the rest of the week and weekend trying to figure out how student growth is calculated and how I could do a better job with this group of children. I was very distracted, but feel better now. Basically, I did the very best I could do with the circumstances I was in. I was a Kindergarten teacher and moved to 5th grade in a new county, at a new school, and with new team members. Everything was new and overwhelming. I didn't fully become the teacher I wanted to be for 5th graders until late last school year and definitely this year. I spent the summer reflecting, researching, and refining my teaching craft to make a better difference this year. Cross your fingers my hard work is reflected in student growth after this school year. Anyway, I'm back on track and more driven than ever.
Now, onto the freebie mentioned. Today I made inference task cards with self checking QR codes. We've been working diligently on inferences and evidence based writing to support our thoughts; therefore, the inspiration to my creation. You can grab your free copy by clicking the picture above. If you like what you see, consider following my blog. :) Have a great weekend and please leave a comment if you download it.

Many of those who attend LYS have difficulty explaining "what" LYS is.
That's because it's more than just a weeklong leadership seminar full of chants and cheers, sessions and lessons.
LYS is...
an indescribable feeling.
an indestructible community.
an indefinable life-changing experience.
At LYS, we believe:
"No man is an island. No man stands alone.
Each man's joy is joy to me. Each man's grief is my own.
We need one another. So I will defend each man as my brother... each man as my friend."
Harper's Story
Harper, a past delegate, recently sent us a letter reflecting on her days at LYS. She perfectly captured the essence of "what" and "who" LYS is.
Harper's story is like so many others' stories. As Harper beautifully wrote:
Your LYS Story
LYS gives delegates like Harper the tools, skills and confidence to do the best they can do — and to be the best they can be.
This can be your story too.
But don't wait to register for LYS 2017, which takes place July 16-21 on LSU's campus. Slots are filling up quickly.
Register today and spread the word about LYS 2016.

This article is in development
Public transit is often called upon as a measure to reduce environmental impacts of travel, both by consolidating travelers from single-occupant vehicles into one environmentally-efficient vehicle, and by using modern technology for cleaner propulsion. Many technologies have been adapted for bus and rail transit since their advent in the late 1800s, including electricity and battery, natural gas, and hydrogen.
Propulsion Technologies
Standard Fuels: Gasoline and Diesel
The most common fuels for all vehicles in the U.S. include unleaded gasoline, and diesel. Federal regulations attempting to reduce the impact of these fossil fuels on the environment have mandated supply of ultra-low sulfur diesel and the use of ethanol in gasoline. (SOURCES) Some agencies now use biodiesel as a means to reduce harmful emissions without the added expense of purchasing hybrid electric buses.
Engine Manufacturers
Practically all bus manufacturing firms offer diesel options, and cutaway buses are commonly available in either gasoline or diesel configurations. The manufacturers producing diesel and biodiesel-compliant engines for buses available in America include:
Natural Gases
Natural gas is used as a fuel in both liquid (LNG) and compressed-gas forms (CNG). (Explain engine differences). Santa Monica, California's Big Blue Bus includes a fleet of buses powered by LNG. Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA, or Metro) operates the country's largest fleet of CNG buses.

Electric power for buses is one of the oldest propulsion technologies, adapted from electric streetcars. Buses powered by overhead wires are commonly called "trolley-buses" and still operate today in some cities such as Seattle, San Francisco, Dayton, Boston, and Philadelphia. Buses can also be powered by electric battery without external power such as overhead wires, but the range of these vehicles tends to be limited. The most common application of electric power for buses today is the hybrid-electric.
Hydrogen Fuel Cell
Hydrogen fuel cells has been researched as a power source for buses using Federal funding [1]. AC Transit of California has participated in a hydrogen fuel cell bus testing program since 2000 using Van Hool buses and a power plant developed by UTC Power of Connecticut. In 2013, UTC Power was sold to another company which chose not to continue the fuel cell bus program.

Over the last 10 years, the information revolution has come and gone at the Pentagon. When Donald Rumsfeld became defense secretary in 2001 at the tail end of the dot.com boom, he embraced the belief of visionaries that digital networks would transform warfare. So he launched an initiative dubbed "military transformation" to reorganize U.S. forces for the information age. When Robert Gates replaced Rumsfeld six years later, he looked at how those forces were faring in Iraq and decided digital technology wasn't the winning weapon after all. Gates launched a "counter-transformation" that deposed networks from their primacy in military plans and restored threats as the main driver of defense priorities.
What's strange about how the defense system operated throughout this period, though, is that regardless of which philosophy dominated the deliberations of policymakers, many of the nation's core military capabilities were neglected. The long-range bomber force dwindled to a handful of decrepit Cold War aircraft. The number of attack submarines in the undersea fleet fell to barely 50 boats. The replacement of reconnaissance satellites was delayed until it became a crisis.
And then there was the case of the joint force's airborne jammers. Jammers are systems designed to deny adversaries use of the electromagnetic spectrum, so they can't employ radars or communications gear effectively in wartime. Somehow, the Pentagon managed to make it to the end of the first decade in the new millennium still relying on the same airborne jamming pods introduced during the Vietnam War.
Electronic technology has changed a lot since the Vietnam era. Vacuum tubes have been eclipsed by integrated circuits. Circuit-switched telephone systems have been replaced by packet-switched networks (most notably the Internet). New uses of the electromagnetic spectrum have given rise to everything from cell phones to phased array radars to satellite radio. How is it possible that Pentagon policymakers could have lived through the information revolution and the rise of non-traditional enemies empowered by new information technology without getting around to replacing the military's most basic tool for controlling the electromagnetic spectrum?
One reason for the oversight was that during the closing days of the Cold War, the military -- especially the Air Force -- became infatuated with stealth. Stealth, also known as low-observable technology, enables warfighters to mask their weapons from detection by enemy sensors. In the case of aircraft, hostile radar signals are deflected, dissipated or absorbed so that defenders can't obtain a continuous track of U.S. planes. The U.S. Air Force has invested over a hundred billion dollars in stealthy fighters and bombers since the Cold War ended, while gradually disbanding its jamming units. The Navy was more skeptical about the durability of stealth, and so it ended up becoming the lead service in providing jamming support to the joint force.
However, even before 9-11 demonstrated the resourcefulness of America's enemies, signs began to appear that stealth was no panacea for assuring victory in the information age. First, engineers discovered that aerial surveillance radars left over from the Soviet era were better at detecting stealth bombers than they had expected, due to a peculiar match between the dimensions of the planes and the length of the radar waves. Then Serbia -- which spends less on its military in a year than NATO does in a day -- managed to shoot down a stealthy U.S. strike aircraft during the Balkan air war in 1999. The Air Force argued it was a lucky shot, but the case for stealth was shaken.
Meanwhile, new digital devices began to appear in the hands of non-traditional adversaries in places like Somalia, greatly enhancing their ability to fight U.S. forces. In Iraq, those devices enabled both Sunni and Shiite insurgents to remotely detonate improvised explosives near American military vehicles, imposing unanticipated costs and casualties on U.S. forces. So doubt about the dependability of stealth combined with the proliferation of digital communications devices to produce a rebirth of interest in jamming and other facets of electronic warfare. Studies conducted by the Pentagon during the Rumsfeld era pointed to the need for a more agile, effective jamming system than that being carried on U.S. tactical aircraft.
The good news is that the Navy had already moved to replace its aging fleet of Prowler jamming planes with a new plane based on the Boeing F/A-18 fighter. The new plane, dubbed the Growler, is now well into production. But it is still carrying jamming pods conceived during the Vietnam era. While those pods have been upgraded repeatedly to cope with emerging threats, there are limits to what can be done with the existing system due to power, range and other constraints.
The result is a fledgling new program called the Next Generation Jammer led by the Navy, which would rectify many of the most glaring deficiencies in the current jamming system. For instance, the new design would substitute precision for raw power in defeating hostile radars, thus eliminating the fratricidal effects of jamming signals on friendly communications links. It would also be able to cope with a wider range of hostile emitters simultaneously, while being much cheaper to maintain.
The new jammer is supposed to debut in 2018, but the Navy hasn't even settled on a design yet, much less picked a company to produce it. Teams led by BAE Systems, ITT Defense, Northrop Grumman and Raytheon are all chasing the opportunity. Unfortunately, development of the new jammer coincides with a period when Pentagon investment in new technology is expected to decline markedly, so there is no guarantee the Next Generation Jammer will stay on track. What is clear, though, is that if the joint force doesn't get a better jammer soon, U.S. warfighters are likely to die for lack of adequate electronic protection.

Grace emails:
I'd like to give a shout out to a local who really helped me out yesterday with a thorny situation. I love our neighborhood. People are so nice!
Walking my dog Luna on Northeast 90th street near Maple Leaf Ace Hardware, and as dogs do she was sniffing around the front edge of a neighbor's yard ( 2-3 feet off the sidewalk but admittedly in their yard).
Suddenly she was covered with sticky, thorny cactus stickers. They were all over her face and paws. I couldn't touch them. They needed leather gloves or tweezers.
Two ladies were walking by with their dog and one came over to help me. She calmly used her fingers to pull them off my dog. It took a good five minutes while I held my upset dog and wasn't easy. I'm sure she poked herself a lot. The stickers burned and itched.
I was so upset that I thanked her profusely but didn't get a name to thank her appropriately.
Luna and I then went right to Maple Leaf Vet where they were able to squeeze her in and pulled fifteen thorns out of her paws.
So a big thank you to a local, whose name I don't know but would love to, and to the vet for squeezing her in. I've thanked them. And paid them. But the local I probably would not even recognize if I saw her.

Who Is Mr. Robot's Landlord: The End of Mr. Robot Summer 2015
Reposting Robot
Since Wednesday means the start of season 2, I figured that this would be a great time to re-post my recap of season 1 episode 10.
Since episode two is due to start with back-to-back episodes on the 13th I plan to write to separate recaps (and I might have some comments on the after show as well). In other words, be ready for a TON of Mr. Robot recap next Thursday.
If you have not watched season one yet, stop reading now, *Spoiler Alert*
The End of My Mr. Robot Summer (2015)
Hack One: Esmail in my head
Mr. Robot is the product of a gentleman named Sam Esmail.
I have immediately known what every song was and let me tell you, songs are used for good reasons and very carefully on this show.
Last night was no exception.
John Lydon and Afrika Bambaataa aka "Time Zone" check, one of my fave eighties throwdowns ever (time zone where have you gone).
Brittany Howard and Alabama Shakes, check, one of the best songs from one of the best albums of the year (Alabama Shakes Sound and Color, I wrote about it months ago).
Jim Carroll Band, check, not necessarily one of my faves, but still iconic and immediately recognizable.
In other words, Mr. Robot seems to have hacked me.
Virtually every music choice throughout the season was one that I enthusiastically embraced or at least appreciated (and even when I disagreed with the use of a song, for instance, the FKA Twigs song it was still a great song).
I do not know much about Esmail, but we obviously have very similar musical tastes.
Hack Two: Synthesis
"World Destruction" was always under-appreciated, even at the time it came out.
As anyone who has read anything on this blog knows, I think Hip Hop is - often but not always - a form of inner city punk music.
Where did I get that idea, where did it start? In all honesty, after I first say the video for World Destruction the song representing "Time Zone," a collaboration between punk icon Johnny Rotten and Hip Hop pioneer Afrika Bambaataa (FYI this was obviously written prior to the abuse allegations against Mr. Bambaataa).
In a sense, the collaboration was punk hacking hip-hop and hip-hop hacking punk but, in another way, it was also a recognition between two artists who understood they were covering similar emotional territory.
I suspect that Esmail chose the song for three reasons:
- It fit the narrative - on the show fsociety, a group of hackers, has just killed ECorps (evil corps) data (and apparently most other financial data too with the end result being that no debt continues to exist in financial records). The song is about revolutionaries meeting in the streets of the revolution (kind of like on the show).
- John Lydon was a Sex Pistol sure. But Lydon also created Public Image Ltd. who were kind of a test-run for many of the ideas represented in Mr. Robot. Lydon was also famously a public punk God but also a private reggae aficionado.
- Bambaata, according to many, invented the sample. Bap was the guy who realized that engaging in some creative destruction, you could make something different from the parts of other songs. He realized that people without instruments could make music, and very different kinds of music, combining captured elements from other people's songs. BAP was a music hacker.
I am certain that the smile on my face when World Destruction came on could have powered the wattage for my house.
Once again, Esmail (et al) carefully picked a perfect song for a situation that also fit the ethos and narrative of the show.
In addition, I am a big fan of at least one element of hacker culture - the concept of creative destruction. Often hacking is about much more than stealing or bringing down corporations...It is about creating something new from the elements that already exist.
QTip was a master at combining existing elements into something new, BAP invented the idea, and the Dust Brothers maybe did the best pastiche of all time (Paul's Boutique). Hip-Hop was a hack, but it was mostly a way of creating new out of old. It was a way of creating new music from old. It was about using the tools readily available to make NEW things.
And let us not forget how prescient some of the lyrics from World Destruction are:
This is a world destruction, your life ain't nothing.
The human race is becoming a disgrace.
Countries are fighting with chemical warfare.
Not giving a damn about the people who live.
Nostradamus predicts the coming of the Antichrist.
Hey, look out, the third world nations are on the rise.
The Democratic-Communist Relationship,
won't stand in the way of the Islamic force.
The CIA is looking for you.
The KGB is smarter than you think.
Brainwash mentalities to control the system.
Using TV and movies - religions of course.
Yes, the world is headed for destruction.
Is it a nuclear war?
What are you asking for?
This is a world destruction. Your life ain't nothing.
The human race is becoming a disgrace.
The rich get richer.
The poor are getting poorer.
Fascist, chauvinistic government fools.
People, Muslims, Christians, and Hindus.
Are in a time zone just searching for the truth.
Who are you to think you're a superior race?
Facing forth your everlasting doom.
We are Time Zone. We've come to drop a bomb on you.
World destruction, kaboom, kaboom, kaboom!
This is the world destruction, your life ain't nothing.
The human race is becoming a disgrace.
Nationalities are fighting with each other.
Why is this? Because the system tells you.
Putting people in faceless categories.
Knowledge isn't what it used to be.
Military tactics to control a nation.
Who wants to be a president or king? Me!
What is the Long Game Here? Or, "We Are Finally Alike" - exactly
I don't get the feeling that Esmail is entirely sympathetic to FSociety or entirely hostile to Evil Corps. I don't believe that this is a show about easy answers. I think it is more likely that, planned or not, F-Society and Evil Corps will end up being more similar than different.
The people walking around downtown in FSociety masks in the finale seemed mostly to be jackasses not cool kids trying to remake the world. Of course the CEO of Evil Corps could not really seem more evil but while we recoil as he talks about how the world is better off because the head of PR (spoiler alert) committed suicide on air, .we hear people spout almost exactly the same reasoning that he gave on every sports channel virtually 24 hours a day.
The evil CEO was talking about how he hates weak people, about how the world would be better off without them.
Just a few weeks ago, when a Pittsburgh Steelers' player made his own kids return trophies they had received for 'participation," the phone lines, twitter lines, and social media spots blew up with the hundreds of thousands of millions of people basically saying the same thing. Decrying the "wimpification of America."
Calling for more tough coaching and harsher treatment of the wimps.
How many times have I heard someone, even official people bemoaning the loss of toughness in sports..especially football...who cares if people get CTE, it is much more important that people learn the toughness that can ONLY be delivered by viewer satisfying bone-shattering hits.
I am talking about me too, I love football, I am waiting to watch Michigan's game tonight. I often hate appearing "weak" and have a hard time showing my emotions. I am not pointing at others. I am saying, Mr. Robot has seen the enemy and he is us.
Deep down, most of us are like Angela, both persuaded by the Shoe Salesman (who for some inexplicable reason has decided to be at work when credit isn't working and to lecture her about Evil Corp.) and conflicted by our belief in the American Dream. We are both fsociety and Evil Corp.
I get the feeling Esmail and maybe even the remaining sane parts of Elliot might get this.
When the gender-bending White Rose (BD. Wong) talks about Nero fiddling (playing the lyre) while Rome burns at the very end of the episode one wonders who exactly is playing Nero in this play.
Is everyone, hacker and mogul fiddling?
And what ultimately decides what burning is or what burning means. I suspect both in our real contemporary world (which Esmail overlays with his created Mr. Robot world) what is burning is Faith.
And, how crazy has it been that virtually everything that happens on Mr. Robot is kind of happening all around us on one of the only shows ever to literally happen NOW.
But what is happening?
Angela believes in the American Dream but is full of doubts...Elliot can't excise his memories of his family as they should be (including himself as a child) but can't even come close to trusting them.
Trust in the bargains that unite us might be fraying. Both ends of the political spectrum are becoming increasingly skeptical of the arrangements that hold us together. But, what is really starting to die is FAITH that the system really is looking out for our interests <I am feeling prescient after what just went down in Dallas>.
Faith in the idea that anyone cares about any interest other than their own.
In the middle is the person the system is supposed to look out for….the vast majority of the people in this country are not political savvy they may be wrong about causes, but they know things are wrong. They are struggling in every possible way and instead of answers, most politicians are offering scapegoats.
Fsociety sycophants laud the hackers and blame Evil corps, but I suspect it does not end any better for them after the hack.
Evil corps sycophants talk about the weight and power of the largest conglomerate in the world giving them confidence. But I suspect it doesn't end very well for them either.
Am I or Esmail talking about "US" or a fictional universe...Wink wink.
Is it odd that Elliot spends the last ten or so minutes of his time in the finale having a conversation with his delusional representations of his immediate family (all of whom are now deceased)
Elliot's nuclear family seems to be fundamentally untrustworthy and even destructive and abusive.
Does this make Elliot right on the border between Plouffe's suicidal executive and Angela's ambition?
And let's not forget that the actions that Elliot has taken are Messianic and destructive (probably devastating for millions of people). He is clearly an anti-hero mixed with a hero.
How are is he, how conflicted is he, how guilty is he, who is at his door?
Who Wants to be A President or a King...Not me...Me?
What About Plouffe?
I suspect Plouffe's on camera suicide was the stand-in for the millions of people whose actual lives would be devastated in real ways by a hack like what fsociety pulled off.
Fsociety could probably care less about devastating Plouffe (or many Plouffe's) and the leader of Evil Corps only bemoans his weakness while seeming nothing but glad to be rid of him.
Again, the revolutionaries and the guardians of the institution care about virtually everything except the collateral damage they leave in their wake.
Donald Trump doesn't care about real immigrants that get beaten down as a result of his xenophobia. And he didn't care about the racism he set on fire with his birther nonsense.He cares about Donald Trump (damn the torpedoes and/or Mexicans).
Liberals don't care that banks (and most corporations) just pass the cost of regulations on to consumers. And god knows, most politicians care more about the endless election cycle than they do about the actual good of the people they are supposed to serve.
Again, nobody cares about what should matter most, the collective good...The people in the cross-hairs of all the schemes. Fsociety isn't really doing what they are doing to make the world a better place.
"Who wants to be a President or a King...Me"
Again, I did not love the finale...the best parts for me were the meetings between Angela and the CEO of Evil Corp., the confrontation between Elliot and Wellick's wife (a true force of nature), and the absence (deeply felt) of Wellick himself.
How many times in any show has the main antagonist just disappeared for the entire finale.
I mean he.totally and almost without explanation disappeared.
It was palpable. I know one theory is that Wellick is just another aspect of Elliot (That Elliot is full on Tyler Durden with all these half-lives and delusions). And maybe that is what is real (if anything is real?). But, I want to believe he is not a Swedish delusional member of Elliot's head party.
I think Elliot and Angela might be initiating a conversation with us about who we really are in the United States of America in 2015. Us, as in you and me.
As the fsociety members put it: "We Are Free…..We Are Finally Alike!"
What did you think of the finale, let me know, leave a comment!

Describe an interesting holiday destination.
You should say:
- what the place is?
- what you can see and do there?
- what time of the year it is better to be there?
and explain why you like it.
Model Answer:
Dartmoor National Park in the South West of England is a really interesting holiday destination. I went there a couple of years ago with my friends and really enjoyed our visit there. This park is a beautiful place with around 368 square miles with the magnificent wildlife, wooden valley, ancient ruins and beautiful moorland. This is a popular and interesting destination for a wide range of tourists.
This area consists about 33,000 population which swells mostly during the pick period of tourists coming there. There are lots to see and observe in this area even the military training. The Sanding Stone, which is really rare in other areas can be found there. If you like history, this place would offer you a lot. Walk around the moor and you will find stone circles, stone across the villages. United Kingdom's largest collection of Bronze Age structure and several other stone tors are scattered across this area.
The wildlife, incredible landscape, wide moorland is a perfect place to explore and get active. The apex point on Dartmoor is on the northern moor which is a great place to be.The rivers shaping the landscape is another attraction and to get involved in tourists activity like swimming, catching fishes and to make camp beside.
This is not like other typical tourist destinations where you can either see the scenic beauty or go for surfing. This place offers you all. Get there, enjoy the scenic beauty, villages, wild lives, history, military activity, rivers, camp there, stay there, ride there and make all of these activities to refresh yourself and this place is bound to attract you to revisit.
There is no strict time to go there. People visit this place almost around the year. But it is advisable to avoid the snow, rain and extreme cold season. Other than that, you are free to come and visit the place whenever you want.
Tips for Answering this Cue Card Sample:
This cue card expects the candidate to talk about a holiday destination (a place where people visit and spend their time during their holidays / more specifically tourist spots).

Happy Monthsary! Happy one month graduate to me. 🙂
It's been a month since the day I've come up to the stage at Philippine Convention Center last April 25, 2015 to get my College diploma 'kuno'. Woooh. Can you just please congratulate me for awhile? LOL. Well, attending commencement exercise is really one of the great event that I will never forget. Chos. Well, what I love about this event moreover than the giving of diplomas is the commencement speech or should I say the Valedictory address or whatever you called that speech. That speech is indeed, an inspiring speech. I just imagine, what if I was given the chance to stand there at the stage in front of many people? In front of those people with different status and with different perspective in life? What kind of inspirational speech would they'll hear from me? What if, let's just pretend that there is a raffle draw for that speech, and I imagined I won that draw lots. What would be my speech? Because I am the one who first imagined that, I, of course already prepared for that winning moment. LOL again. So here's what I prepare… Continue reading

Released on Steam on March 4th, 2016, and on consoles late 2017 / early 2018, Ultimate Chicken Horse is a party platformer that flips between strategic level building and intense platforming.
Build the level by placing blocks, projectiles, traps, and hazards, then try to reach the flag. If you can make it but your friends can't, you get points! Repeat the process as you place more platforms to make the level crazier and more dangerous, and try to screw your friends over without screwing yourself. The result of this unique game flow is that every player becomes a designer and a player at once, responsible for creating dastardly levels without ever feeling like they're really going into "level editor" mode.
You score points for reaching the end of the level (as long as at least one other person fails), for getting there first, for placing traps that stopped other players, for being the only one to reach the end, or for picking up coins placed by players and bringing them to the end of the level.
Play locally or online through Steam using controllers or a keyboard; up to 4 players can play in a turn-based game with a single controller thanks to our "shared controller couch" feature. After the Steam launch, the game is planned to come to console in the following months, though the order and timing is not set.

Ultimate Chicken Horse actually started as a game jam game in September 2014, based very loosely on the themes that were given. The company wanted to put ourselves in a stressful situation and see if we could produce something of decent quality within a short time frame. The following week, we showed it off at a local game developer meetup here in Montreal, Canada, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive.
We decided that this was something worth pursuing, and started improving the game in anticipation of a local demo night attended by ~500 people. After showing at that demo night and receiving even more great feedback, we decided to run a Kickstarter campaign in the spring. The success of the Kickstarter showed us that the world is ready for this kind of game, and we set our minds to creating the best possible game we could.

Preseasons First "Practice" Test
Saturday will be the first (practice) test for the "new and improved" Titans. I'm sure that the team is excited, nervous, and chomping-at-the-bit to start hitting another team. The coaching staff is ready to prove themselves to the organization, but also to the city of Nashville. Finally, and probably most importantly, Jon Robinson is going to be on the edge of his chair to see if the risks he took will help this team escape the dumpster fire lit, dark alley they have lived in for the last two season.
There are going to be some interesting story lines that have already been brewing for the last couple of weeks. First (and most importantly), can this offensive line keep Marcus Mariota from getting pounded into an early retirement. There are the obvious starters in Lewan, Warmack, and Jones. Then there is the rookie, Conklin. He has had a fantastic camp, but can he continue that work when it meets with direct competition? Next, there is the left guard spot that is currently penciled in to Quentin Spain. He is a second-year, off-the-street free agent out of West Virginia. Right now this is obviously the weak point of the line on paper. The depth chart shows the rookie from Arkansas, Sebastian Tretola as the backup and second-year man Andy Gallik bringing up the rear. I have to believe that this is a very close race between these 3 men and it will be interesting to see how many mistakes this coaching staff will allow before making a change. My guess would be that if a veteran guard became available in free agency, that this GM will be more than willing to make the move to acquire them. I wouldn't even rule out a trade if this spot is seen as the difference between rebuilding and the playoffs.
Another storyline that cannot be ignored is wide receiver. Don't expect to see probable slot-receiver Kendall Wright in the mix due to his recent injury, but there are players on this squad that might need to "ball out" in order to make it onto this roster again this year. Yes, Justin Hunter, I'm talking about you. Hunter's University of Tennessee days are well behind him now so his "favorite son" status is long gone. He has been "ok" in camp, but that won't make this team any better, and this front office will not wait any longer for you to find a way to harness your raw talent into a bona fide deep threat. When you have a late-round rookie (Tajae Sharpe) step in and earn the starting slot over Hunter and second-year physical phenom Green-Beckham, that speaks not only to the skills of the rookie, but volumes to how this coaching staff will not put up with someone who isn't willing to put forth their full effort on every play and practice. The wide receiving corp also contains an aging but serviceable veteran in Andre Johnson. He is looking to finish his career on a more positive note than his pedestrian numbers from last season. Let's say that Wright, Sharpe, and free-agent acquisition Rishard Matthews are our starters. That most likely leaves 3 more open slots to fill. DGB, Johnson and Hunter will be competing to fill those spots with Harry Douglas, Andrew Turzilli, and Tre McBride. Douglas will most likely be one of the men on the outside because he hasn't brought enough to the table that will match his veteran salary. Turzilli or McBride will make this team and the other will be placed on the practice squad (as long as they clear waivers). In my opinion, that means Hunter is out unless he can prove his worth throughout the entire preseason. There are also two other receivers (Ben Roberts and Reece Horn) on the chart that won't make the team, but are playing for that chance they might fit in somewhere else.
This team appears to be on the cusp of making a real and meaningful change of direction to move toward a sustained return to playoff contenders. Yes, this may be too much to ask at this stage, but can this game help us as fans move from hoping a team will get better to expecting with few questions that a team will be better. Maybe I'm just tired of never finding that gold at the end of the rainbow, and am now on the edge of demanding a better product on the field at Nissan Stadium.

American Heart Affiliation Recommendations For Bodily Exercise In Adults
Kinaesthetic Sense is the sensory data relating to the whereabouts of the body in space, the position of the joints, and the stress within the muscles. Heat up. Warm up with dynamic stretches—active movements that warm and flex the muscles you'll be using, corresponding to leg kicks, walking lunges, or arm swings—and by doing a slower, easier model of the upcoming exercise. Attempt biking, swimming, many core exercises, and so on. Attempt to alternate between exercise activities on different days to ensure that all your muscle teams get consideration. Yoga is well suited to diabetics in that it improves circulation and promotes a daily exercise routine. Here's a heat-up exercise routine to do 1 set of before every workout, but do three units of these features generally is a good exercise, especially if you're a beginner. Most of the exercises right here already hit your quads, but if you want to target your leg muscle more then I recommend doing squats but together with your legs positioned nearer collectively. While you exercise regularly, there can be put on and tear on your muscle groups and joints.
Maintain doing it till you're feeling you are lacking something that day if you have not achieved it. After a while will probably be computerized to think this manner and to do this small exercise. These work outs like chest fat burner exercises are literally combined with the gynecomastia supplements. Just ensure that if you want to have a challenging and rewarding exercise to do a excessive quantity of reps should you choose a decrease weight however 8 to 10 a set in case you have a high, tougher weight. For those who've made it this far in the article, I'm assuming you are highly interested and motivated to put this exercise routine to the check.
There's usually one or two different male enhancement exercises as well, which you'll be performing along with the one above, but they are very related. You must guantee that the towel will not contact the chair or the perimeters since it'll act because the resistance weight to your penis. Anaerobic exercises should solely be achieved every other day to present your muscle groups and joints time for relaxation and rest. As previously mentioned, you are more likely to stay with an exercise program that's enjoyable and rewarding.
Frenkel's Exercises for the Lower Limbs within the Standing Place can be handled in my article 'Gait Training'. Doing cardio and toning exercises is crucial for general body conditioning and fitness as well as trying ripped. Weight Loss: During aerobic exercise the body burns fats and as a consequence the full body fats is attenuated. Many doctors recommend an exercise and health program as the first line of treatment for fibromyalgia. However the researchers also caution that a lot of the physiological studies they reviewed had been too small and short-time period to allow for firm conclusions about how exercise might change the mind to help battle off gloom. It is vitally important to do your penis stretching exercises prior to you doing any exercises to broaden your penis, because will probably be that a lot simpler to grab a maintain of your penis.
Bear in mind, you possibly can't achieve a muscular and bigger butt without proper weight-reduction plan and rest, but your butt muscle groups can grow really fast with common muscle mass building exercise to your glutes. One of the best back exercise program combines exercises that stretch the again muscle mass with exercises that strengthen the muscle groups. Many people find that biking on an exercise bike is without doubt one of the best types of exercise to stay with in the long term to reach their fitness targets. Working is tough on the knees and bone construction however is still a superb type of exercise.

(CNN) - Sandra Oh has made Emmy history.
The "Killing Eve" actress scored an Emmy nomination for best actress in a drama on Thursday for her role in the BBC America thriller, becoming the first woman of Asian descent to ever score a nod in that category.
Oh, who was born in Canada, was previously nominated five times in the supporting actress in a drama category for her role as Cristina Yang in ABC's "Grey's Anatomy." She has never won an Emmy.
Oh has yet to issue a statement on her history-making nomination.
On "Killing Eve," she portrays a MI5 security officer caught in a complicated hunt for a one-of-a-kind serial killer.
Oh is joined by Claire Foy ("The Crown"), Tatiana Maslany ("Orphan Black"), Elisabeth Moss ("The Handmaid's Tale"), Keri Russell ("The Americans"), and Evan Rachel Wood ("Westworld") in the category this year.
As conversations about diversity on television and at major awards shows have taken place, a particular spotlight has been shined on groups who continue to see a lack of representation, including Asian Americans.
Since 2010, a number of performers and writers of Asian decent have scored wins in major categories, including Archie Panjabi (2010, supporting actress in a drama), Riz Ahmed (2017, lead actor in a limited series), and Aziz Ansari and Alan Yang (2016, writing for a comedy series). Ansari also won last year in the same category alongside Lena Waithe, who made history that night as well.
At the time of their wins, Panjabi and Ahmed were the first female and male actors of Asian decent to ever win Emmys in acting categories, respectively.
The Emmy Awards take place September 17.

A couple of weeks ago, 2-year-old Little A. was placed with us for for 10 days of respite care. I spoke with her regular foster mom on the phone before she arrived, but only realized when she pulled up at the front door that I had met and liked the foster mom from a brunch I had attended with the foster support group in our region.
A. had been with her foster mom since A. was 11-months old, and they are very attached to each other. So A. struggled for the first couple of days with her "mom" being gone, and would often ask "when is Mommy coming home?"
She is a lovely little girl, very sweet and well-behaved. She is also a great sleeper and a big eater. When I took her to our church's Reformation Celebration potluck dinner, she gobbled up the pot roast I put on her plate, so we went out and bought her some deli meat so she wouldn't have to abide by our pescatarian ways.
The kids loved her. She and Sinclair are very similar in age, and they played very well together overall; Sinclair was getting a little crabby with her towards the end, which wasn't surprising. A. joined us for our big Halloween party as few days before the actual holiday, and we took all three kids trick-or-treating.
It was interesting to watch other people's reactions to us going places with a child of another skin color. There were lots of double takes and questioning looks, and I think at one point, it was only the fact that both girls were wearing matching winter hats, that kept one woman demanding proof that A. was in my care.
The first couple of days were somewhat challenging. It's weird having someone new in your house for that long, you know? A. demanded more attention than my children do and that was a bit wearing to me. We discovered that our the way we do laundry just wasn't going to work for five people, so we had to devise a new way of organizing that. There were other, smaller, but similar revelations about how our family works and how things need to be streamlined. By the end of her time with us, we started to have things ironed out, and it all began to feel more normal.
And then, she was gone. I've talked to her foster mom a couple of times since, and she said it was clear that A. had a great time with us. As I thought would happen, Luther was really upset when she left, but the leaving was eased for all of us by the fact that we'll see A. again at our local DCF office and support groups again.
We couldn't have asked for a better first placement. As of right now, we are in the first few days of having a tiny, one-month old boy with us. He'll be here for at least a month, and we just adore him.

Concrete Polishing in Kansas City
In many cases, concrete polishing is the most cost effective flooring option on the market today and one of the most attractive. So, what is concrete polishing? We use industrial diamonds to grind then polish either newly poured or older existing concrete slab floors. What is revealed is a natural stone look that is further accentuated by adding a sealer that brings out a deep, rich gloss. The result is truly stunning!
Concrete polishing can be used on commercial and industrial concrete floors and is economical, durable and low maintenance.
The concrete slab is actually strengthened by the polishing process and the only maintenance required is an occasional mopping. A polished concrete floor requires no waxing or stripping and is a non-slip surface.
The benefits of concrete polishing in Kansas City are many:
• Low maintenance costs
• Increased durability
• It's attractive with the look of more expensive floor coverings or materials
• Environmentally friendly

Surtex: Magnet Reps/
During the hustle and bustle of Surtex, Shelley Brown did a quick-fire Q and A with Chrystal Falcioni, the Founder/Director at Los Angeles-based Magnet Reps.
Shelley: How long have you been pursuing the art licensing business?
Chrystal: 8 years
Shelley: How have you found it to change from then to now?
Chrystal: The art is much better. It used to be very old fashioned. Not contemporary at all. More and more illustrators are trying it. Much more competition.
Shelley: What do you think are the most significant new opportunities that you see for your artists in the future?
Chrystal: Paperless applications.
Shelley: What should artists do who want to make the shift from illustrating to surface design or licensing?
Chrystal: Get out there and understand that art is about collections. Decide if you want to be single image or patterns and research. Do lots of research.
Shelley: What shows do you feel are essential to the art licensing business?
Chrystal: Surtex and The Licensing Show in Vegas. Also, if anyone is planning on exhibiting in a show, they should first attend at least one or two years in a row prior to exhibiting in it.

Although we have now been lucky enough to see the largest fish in the sea (yes, we're still going on about it!), whilst sunning ourselves in another Bay Island - Roatan, their annual fish festival took place and we were able to admire their huge catches - the biggest fish they caught was a 270 pound Blue Marlin - these are massive fish (as the weight might suggest) and have a long pointy nose (like a swordfish) - certainly wouldn't want to have met one of those whilst diving! The thing that amazed me most about these fish was their eyes - they were bright blue, but looked like fake glass eyes, weird. Unfortunately we had left our camera at home on this occasion, so no photos - I'm sure google will provide though.
The rest of our trip to Roatan was pretty uneventful, if rather expensive - the North Americans have adopted it as a tropical resort, hence the prices have risen accordingly. We managed to save a few bob by walking to the "world's second most beautiful beach" (according to our hotel owner) - it was lovely - white sands and crystal clear water, and definitely an improvement to Utila's lack of beach, however it was spoilt somewhat by the large number of resorts and hotels that have been built along it. Oh how ungrateful we are in paradise!
