Let's say you're a custom sneaker maker. Or you run a yoga retreat center. Or maybe you even sell vegan Vietnamese out of a gourmet food truck. Your business has its own unique story to tell. If you had the chance to show the world what your business is all about - from its founding roots to the ways it changes your customers' lives, would you take it?
Today you have that chance. We're pleased to be presenting "My Business Story®" alongside American Express. "My Business Story" is a program for small businesses to tell their stories through video, leading up to the second annual "Small Business Saturday", a day set aside to encourage communities to spend and support local businesses by shopping small.
And since Google research has shown that companies who use video can expect better customer engagement and retention, we are launching a new video tool so that small business owners can create personalized, professional-quality videos about their business.
Once you've got your video crafted, business owners are invited to submit it to the contest for an opportunity to appear in the YouTube homepage ad on Friday, November 25th, which is viewed by an estimated 22 million people in the United States every day. Thirty-six small businesses will be featured in the ad and will receive an online ad campaign worth $5,000 from Google and American Express. All submissions will be viewed and judged by an independent panel of experts. The deadline for contest entry is Tuesday, November 15, but entry is not required to use the My Business Story editing tool.
Happy editing! We're eager to see what you come up with.

A potential grade five student
Fear and trembling in Miskolc's "Selyemrét" district; the government wants to plant intellectually challenged gypsy students and other dropouts aged 18-25 in the primary school system forcing 6-14 years olds to attend classes with over-aged students. Parents are terrified by the idea, which if goes ahead as planned will hamper the education of their children.
The news has reached Jobbik politicians as well that investigated the report; at Wednesday's press conference Jobbik MP Lajos Badány said parents have reason to be afraid; indeed, the Fidesz government is planning to enroll over-age students, age 18 and over into the Selyemrét Primary School.
The Jobbik politician found the plan outrageous. It is more than bizarre that the ruling party would force 10-year-olds to attend classes with ex-convicts, 20-year-old adults who can terrorize schoolchildren. If Fidesz wants to help dropouts, do that within the framework of adult education said the Jobbik politician.
Péter Jakab, Jobbik local government representative drew attention to the fact that the Selyemrét Primary School is not the only one that is being targeted; the government plans to introduce the system in other schools as well. The politician stressed that the government pays close to HUF 50 thousand per month to over-aged students willing to attend classes. It is the money and not the desire to finish their primary education that motivates the dropouts said the Jobbik politician.
The program is being coordinated by the Türr István Training and Research Institute, which is currently under investigation for tax evasion.
The Jobbik politician called on Miskolc city council to block the looming atrocity by all means. If the government is not prepared to change its mind Jobbik will once again take the streets to protect school children from being abused by government officials said the politician.
(Note: This is one of the most bizarre cases I've ever heard in quite some time. By all probability, the government was blackmailed by forces working on the destruction of the Hungarian education system. What was the nature of the blackmail is immaterial, but there are reasons to believe that here too the same forces are at work that run the third world immigration project in western Europe, as the goal is the same in both cases, dumb down the population and accelerate the dissolution of society. Most probably, the threat of antisemitism was also introduced into the picture to help convince officials to go ahead with this crazy project. The government is terrified of the whip of antisemitism, it does everything to appease those that use it.)
Jobbik spokeswoman Dóra Dúró called on the government to release the name of the person that brainstormed the idea of enrolling ex-cons into the elementary school system and blending them with the regular student population of the school and discipline the individual for this outrageous idea.
(The Fidesz party is infested with globalist agents working for the enemy. By releasing the name of the person we would learn who is the individual that is working for the puppet-masters because surely, such an atrocious idea can't originate from a descent patriotic Hungarian person.)

August 2, 1999
Mr. Daniel R. Boehmer
National Student Loan Clearinghouse
2191 Fox Mill Road, Suite
Herndon, VA 20171-3019
Dear Mr. Boehmer:
This responds to your letter of June 2, 1999, in which you asked this office whether operation of a new EnrollmentSearch program by the National Student Loan Clearinghouse (Clearinghouse) would comply with the requirements of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 20 U.S.C. § 1232g. The Family Policy Compliance Office (FPCO) is responsible for investigating complaints and providing technical assistance to ensure compliance with FERPA and its implementing regulations found at 34 CFR Part 99. We find that the proposed operation of the new EnrollmentSearch program, as described in your June 2 letter, would not violate the requirements of FERPA.
In particular, under the proposed EnrollmentSearch Addendum to the Clearinghouse's participation agreement, member institutions that wish to obtain information on the current enrollment or graduation status of students who have left the institution (Requester Institutions) will submit the following directory information to the Clearinghouse: the student's name, date of birth, and date of last attendance at the Requester Institution. Institutions may not submit this information for students who have blocked the release of directory information under FERPA.
The Clearinghouse will use the student's name, date of birth, and date of last attendance to search its existing database. The existing database is composed of both directory and non-directory information submitted by institutions in order to meet certain reporting requirements of the Federal student loan process.If there is a match, and if the student has not blocked the release of directory information by the institution that submitted the information to the Clearinghouse, the Clearinghouse will provide the following directory information to each Requester Institution: the student's name; whether a transfer record was found (Y/N); the student's new name, if any; the name of the school of first transfer; the Office of Postsecondary Education Indentification (OPEID) code of the transfer school; and the starting date for transfer term. The release of information under the
EnrollmentSearch program is separate and distinct from the release of information for purposes of meeting student status confirmation and other enrollment status requests under the Federal Family Educational Loan (FFEL) and other student financial assistance programs.
FERPA provides that an educational agency or institution that receives Federal education funds may not have a policy or practice of releasing education records, or personally identifiable, non-directory information from education records, unless the parent or eligible student has provided prior written consent for the disclosure, except in several statutorily specified circumstances. 20 U.S.C. § 1232g(b)(1); 34 CFR §§ 99.30; 99.31. An institution may designate certain information as " directory information" and then disclose or release the information without first obtaining written consent. See 34 CFR § 99.31(a)(11). "Directory information" includes the following:
the student's name, address, telephone listing, date and place of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student.
20 U.S.C. § 1232g(a)(5)(A). FERPA regulations explain further that directory information means
information contained in an education record of a student which would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed.
34 CFR § 99.3 ("Directory information").
In accordance with these provisions, FPCO has advised that certain types of information not listed in the statute, such as a student's social security account number (SSN) or other student identification number, may not be designated and disclosed on a nonconsensual basis as directory information because of the relative ease with which it can be used to access other information about the student that would be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. Accordingly, EnrollmentSearch is structured so that the information released or disclosed by participating institutions and the Clearinghouse does not identify students by SSN or other identification numbers. Rather, it is our understanding that the program uses only information that falls clearly within the scope of "drectory information" as specified in both statute and regulation.
The student's name, date of birth, and dates of attendance at an institution are listed as examples of directory information in the statute. As explained in your letter, these are the primary data fields used by Requester Institutions and the Clearinghouse to identify students in the Enrollment Search program. An indication whether a transfer record has
been found merely identifies the student's enrollment status in an institution. Similarly, the starting date of a transfer term merely indicates dates of attendance, which may be designated and disclosed as directory information. The institution's OPEID code contains only information about the transfer institution itself and does not contain information from a student's education record. As described above, all information from education records released by the Requester Institution and the Clearinghouse under the EnrollmentSearch program is directory information under FERPA.
FERPA regulations also provide that an educational agency or institution may disclose directory information only if it has given public notice to parents or eligible students in attendance at the institution of:
- The types of personally identifiable information that the agency or institution has designated as directory information;
- A parent's or eligible student's right to refuse to let the agency or institution designate any or all of those types of information about the student as directory information; and
- The period of time within which a parent or eligible student has to notify the agency or institution in writing that he or she does not want any or all of those types of information about the student designated as directory information.
34 CFR § 99.37(a).
You explained that in order to comply with this FERPA provision on blocking the release of directory information, the EnrollmentSearch program requires modification of institutional databases to include a " data block indicator" for those students who have exercised their FERPA right to opt out of disclosure of directory information. Under the basic participation agreement, institutions must now include this data block indicator for the information that is submitted every four to six weeks as part of confirmation of enrollment status process for current students. This will ensure that the Clearinghouse does not release directory information for student's who have blocked the release of directory information, even if there is a match with information submitted by a Requester Institution. You also indicated that the Clearinghouse will ask participating institutions to complete a data block indicator for former students, and that if the institution is unable or unwilling to provide that information for former students, the Clearinghouse will not release enrollment status information for those students.
In summary, FERPA prevents an institution from requesting EnrollmentSearch information for students who have blocked the release of directory information under FERPA, and the Clearinghouse will not release EnrollmentSearch information for those students who have blocked the release of directory information. Based on these conditions, we find that the EnrollmentSearch program complies with the requirements of
FERPA regarding the release or disclosure of personally identifiable information from education records on a nonconsensual basis. Please note that other terms and conditions for the release of information about students under the Federal Family Educational Loan (FFEL) and any other student loan programs remain as set forth in our April 19, 1993, letter to the Clearinghouse.

It's great to see 24ways back on the scene again, my favourite time of the year! RGBA is one of my favourite features of CSS3 because of, as you mentioned, its immense flexibility in setting the opacity of individual elements. The previous method of messing around with the opacity property was too cumbersome.
I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the articles this month.

A hunched, long-legged silhouette stands motionless and silent along a stream or shoreline. Easily identified by its large body, characteristic profile on the ground or in the air, the great blue heron is a common and often mesmerizing sight near many wetlands, forests and estuaries in Washington. In flight the great blue heron slowly beats its 6-foot wingspan, head folded back on shoulders, long legs trailing behind. If startled, it will emit a low-pitched squawk. It feeds both day and night, but is most active before dawn and dusk, sometimes still hunting and waiting for prey to come within striking distance of its long flexible neck and sabre-like bill, or stalking prey in water or a field. The great blue heron is an opportunistic predator that eats small fish, shellfish, insects, reptiles and amphibians and even small mammals and birds.
As of April 2014, the herons have not returned and are not expected to repopulate the Kiwanis site at any time in the near future. Thus, the camera connection will be disabled and equipment will be removed soon. Fortunately however, we have a great selection of pre-recorded videos for you to enjoy, and we have provided links to other interesting sites for great blue heron fans. Please see the link under the gray box that says "Video" near the top right of this page. You will also find a number of sources of information about Great Blue Herons at the bottom of this page.
In 2013, the great blue heron nests shown by our agency cameras were abandoned due to the extent and consequences of repeated attacks by bald eagles on the nesting herons. The Kiwanis heron colony (or heronry) abandoned the nests, eggs and young; and raccoons and crows have consumed all of the remains.
Biologists note that herons react in a variety of ways to disturbances of their colonies, and repeated disturbances can cause them to abandon their nests. Their actions depend on such factors as the stage of the nesting cycle, the severity or frequency of the disturbance, colony size, surrounding habitat, and nearby land uses. Human disturbances are a relatively common cause of colony abandonment, and adult nesting herons do not develop a strong attachment to the nest until young are present.
The herons may disperse for this year, or they may go elsewhere and try again.
For more information on the 2013 event and information regarding public help for the 2014 season recorded by the volunteers from the Heron Habitat Helpers, follow this link: http://www.kplu.org/post/eagles-return-drive-entire-colony-herons-out-kiwanis-ravine
Attention Heron Enthusiasts!
WDFW is relying on your help to document new heron colonies as well as provide updates of annual nesting activity at known sites. Please use our WDFW General Wildlife Observation website and mobile phone application to help us. Learn more about how to document this and other wildlife occurrences here: http://wdfw.wa.gov/viewing/observations/sgcn/
WDFW would like to thank all of the many individuals who have contributed to this project and to the early HeronCam and website.
Appreciation is extended to the Heron Habitat Helpers and Crest Learning Center for providing much of the required funds and equipment. Also thank you to Canopy Conservation, Seattle Parks and Recreation and Olympia Systems and OneNetPlace, Inc. for the installation and streaming video on the heroncam systems that were set up in 2012.
Appreciation is extended to Pam Cahn for her dedicated recordings of the heron's activities, and to Don Norman, a consultant and biologist; Heron Habitat Helpers, a non-profit dedicated to heron outreach and conservation; officials from King County, Seattle Parks and Recreation, the city of Seattle, the City of Kenmore and the Kenmore Police.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – For the second time in as many weeks, the MIT softball team received accolades from the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) for its academic success during the 2011 season. Following its distinction for the third-highest team grade point average, six individuals were recognized as All-America Scholar Athletes.
Departed seniors, Maia Bageant (Roswell, Ga.), Keri Dixon (Bethlehem, Pa.) Jenny Li (Ellicott City, Md.) and Jessica Oleinik (Ellicott City, Md.) and were joined by rising juniors Anna Christensen (Vernon Hills, Ill.) and Leah Alpert (Needham, Mass.) as honorees.
The award is given to any player submitted by a member coach who achieved a 3.50 grade point average or higher during the 2010-11 academic year.
Last week, the Engineers were named an All-Academic team, after the squad posted a cumulative GPA of 3.60, the third highest mark in Division III and fifth best in the entire NCAA.

Chinese supporters save over 2,000 stolen dogs, but government action remains critical
On March 2nd, a truck loaded with 900 dogs destined for slaughter was stopped by animal welfare supporters in Chong Qing city, China.
These supporters had reported the truck to the police and urged them to take action. But when stopped, the truck's drivers - dog dealers - quickly produced a group health inspection certificate which indicated the transport was legal. This placated the local police, but not the animal welfare advocates.
The rescuers insisted on inspecting each dog inside the truck.
Inside they found dogs crammed tightly into battery cages. Dogs had no space and were forced into contorted positions, standing on top of each other with no access to food, water, or even air to breathe.
Dogs in these conditions can die from suffocation, dehydration, heat stroke, or injuries, let alone a whole host of diseases.
The rescuers also later discovered that the health inspection certificate was, in fact, illegal.
Upon receiving the news, the International Fund for Animal Welfare office in China reacted immediately and updated regional supporters about progress on the front-line. This was yet another opportunity to reveal the cruelty and ruthlessness of the dog meat trade.
On March 5th, however, another truck with 1,300 dogs was stopped by local animal supporters in Guizhou province. It was soon discovered that their certificates were fraudulent as well. These consecutive occurrences of illegal dog transport confirmed our suspicion, that stealing dogs for the dog meat trade has become an organized crime.
Although the dog meat trade itself is legal, the manner in which the industry functions is often illegal. According to Chinese law, each animal being transported for slaughter must have its own health certificate.
These health certificates are meant to ensure the safety of meat for human consumption and are supposed to be written for lawfully owned, healthy animals. Thus, dogs that are stolen should not possess a valid health certificate. Health certificates, however, as with other official documents, may be forged and dog dealers often purchase or manufacture counterfeit versions.
Certain dogs used in the dog meat trade are legally obtained, but many are stolen. Simply searching Google for "steal dog" in Chinese reveals that there are 135,000 published reports.
Dog thieves use varying tools such as tranquilized food, tranquilizer darts, and cage traps to catch unsuspecting pets. Owners may even be shot with tranquilizer darts themselves in an effort to protect their dogs.
Once trapped, dogs often are packed into battery cages, where they stand or lie on top of each other, without food, water, space, or comfort, often for days. These cages may be stacked on top of each other into trucks for transport. If sales are slow, dogs may often remain caged for days or even weeks.
If lucky, these illegally obtained animals are intercepted and rescued by supporters, such as those in Chong Qing city and Guizhou province. But not all dogs are so lucky, and following these rescues IFAW-China immediately made an announcement to update our supporters within China and challenge the government to stop these crimes.
Many citizens echoed us and asked for more stringent law enforcement to prevent such cruelty.
Currently, a total of approximately 2,200 dogs from these two rescue operations have been handed over to rescuers by the police. The rescued dogs have been distributed to four different shelters - two in Chengdu city, one in Kunming, and one in Nanjing. Although these shelters are already over-burdened, some have created temporary housing for these animals.
Caring for these dogs will be complicated, expensive, and time consuming.
At the moment, they are in dire need of vaccination. IFAW will be coordinating vaccine support at all four shelters, as well as offering expertise on care and vaccination protocols.
A generous company, Zoetis, has already come forward with the offer to donate approximately 2,200 vaccines for all dogs rescued from Chong Qing and Guiyang.
IFAW has been a strong voice for dogs in China, raising concerns over certification fraud as well as the lack of regulations and enforcement that has allowed this type of cruelty to repeatedly happen.
Unfortunately, saving animals just prior to slaughter only prevents a symptom of the crime and alone won't stop this cruel trade.
Rescue events such as these illuminate the horrors and have gained international attention, but in order to stop the slaughter it's critical that the government take action to fight these crimes, and the demand for dog meat comes to an end.

Chinese Death Soup: Eat and Die
Contrary to popular belief, even though eating spicy food may give you a wicked case of gut rot and the runs, there is absolutely no possible way for a little kung-pao anything to "burn a hole in your stomach." That is, unless you eat a bowl of Chinese Death Soup.
Even something called "death soup" (more commonly referred to as spicy mala soup) should not be able to eat away at a person's stomach lining. So you can imagine the surprise of doctors last week when they were faced with treating a patient -- with no previous stomach issues -- for a hole in his stomach that was reportedly caused by consuming this fiery concoction.
According to reports, after finishing a bowl of spicy mala soup at a restaurant in Wuhan, China, a 26-year-old man began complaining of intense pain, followed shortly thereafter by a fire-breathing bout of vomiting. Doctors say they found a hole in the man's stomach that was likely caused from ingesting the numbingly hot broth, seasoned with a devils dose of Sichuan pepper. (Note: It is not advised to consume anything made with this pepper. Seriously, don't be a hero.)
We're not exactly sure what the chefs in China are putting in that soup, but we try to stick to a simple philosophy when it comes to what we have for dinner: we like food we can eat, not food that eats us.

This warranty does not cover damage resulting from negligence, misuse, abuse, institutional/commercial use or use for purposes other than normal household use.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights, which may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
Knife Care
- For best results, hand wash your knives with soap and water and dry immediately.
- Soaking wood-handled knives in water can remove the natural oils from the handles.
- DO NOT put knives in the dishwasher. Dishwasher use may cause nicks on the blade edges. Additionally, the heat and detergent may have a corrosive effect on the knives and damage the handle.
- DO NOT cut through bone with knives or use knives to poke, pry or separate frozen foods.
- DO NOT use knives as screwdrivers or can openers. This is not their intended purpose and can bend or break the blade or edge.
Knife Storage
- Sharp knives should never be stored loose in a drawer because contact with hard objects can dull the blade. Many CHICAGO CUTLERY sets are sold with a hardwood block for safe, convenient storage.
- MAGNASTRIP® storage is another way for convenient and safe storage, saving counter space with a magnetic strip.
- CHICAGO CUTLERY knives purchased individually are available in blade protectors. The blade protectors help keep the knife sharp and provide safe and convenient storage at home.
Sharpeners are not for use on scalloped or serrated edges. For optimum performance, knives should be sharpened after every couple of uses. Use a scouring powder after use to clean and remove metal particles from your sharpening steel. After cleaning the steel, rinse with water, dry it thoroughly and store in a dry place.
Sharpening Steel
- Hold sharpening steel point down on flat stable surface such as a table or cutting board.
- Angle knife blade approximately 15 degrees from the sharpening steel. Imagine the knife blade is at approximately 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock.
- Pull the knife down and across the sharpening steel in a slight arc, pulling the knife handle toward you. Repeat on the other side of the steel.
- Repeat these steps 3-5 times, alternating the right and left side of the cutting edge.
MAGNASHARP® In-Block Sharpener
- Insert your fine edged knife into the sharpening slot.
- While applying slight downward pressure on the knife edge, pull the knife out of the slot.
- Repeat this 3-4 times, and your knife edge will be realigned and sharpened.
MAGNASHARP® Mouse Sharpener
- Open the sharpening area.
- Insert your fine edged knife into the sharpening slot.
- While applying slight downward pressure on the knife edge, pull the knife through.

text: Marketing: Fuel Prices Down January 29, 2013 07:59 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Fran Howard AgWeb Contributing Writer Email Reduced pressure at the pump means less demand for corn Crude oil prices are expected to drop into 2014 because of strong production, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) Short-Term Energy Outlook released Jan. 8. Falling crude oil prices will pressure gasoline prices lower, but natural gas prices are expected to rise. "If ethanol plants are paying more for natural gas and selling into a market with lower gasoline prices, margins will be crimped." If the numbers in this report come to fruition, it will have an impact on the corn market, says Karl Jodock, market analyst at Progressive Ag in Fargo, N.D. "If ethanol plants are paying more for natural gas and selling into a market with lower gasoline prices, margins will be crimped," Jodock says. "They might not run at full capacity, meaning there could be less demand for corn in 2014." Looking at the numbers, EIA forecasts that Europe's Brent crude oil price will fall to an average of $105 per barrel in 2013, before dropping to $99 per barrel in 2014. Soon 400,000 barrels of crude oil will move from Cushing, Okla., where it is stockpiled, to Gulf Coast refineries because of the opening of the Seaway pipeline. The new pipeline capacity is expected to lower the cost of moving oil and thus reduce U.S. inventories, raising U.S. prices and narrowing the gap with Brent crude oil prices, EIA says. Falling crude prices will pressure retail gasoline prices from an average of $3.63 per gallon in 2012 to $3.44 per gallon this year and $3.34 per gallon in 2014. Retail diesel fuel prices are also forecast to drop, from 2012's average of $3.97 per gallon to $3.87 per gallon in 2013 and $3.78 per gallon in 2014. According to EIA estimates, U.S. crude oil production averaged 6.4 million barrels per day last year, an increase of 0.8 million barrels per day from 2011. This year, U.S. oil producers will extract 7.3 million barrels per day and increase production to 7.9 million barrels per day, marking the highest production level since 1988. While production is rising, so is demand. EIA estimates that demand for all U.S. liquid fuels will rise gradually during the next two years to an average of 18.8 million barrels per day in 2014. At the same time, natural gas prices are up despite record inventories in November. EIA forecasts the Henry Hub natural gas spot price to rise to $3.74 per million British thermal units this year, and then climb to $3.90 in 2014. Henry Hub prices averaged $4 in 2011 before crashing to $2.75 in 2012. "If natural gas prices are going back to 2011 levels, that would have a positive effect on fertilizer prices, which would be negative for corn producers," Jodock says. "These numbers pinch corn production from both sides." But whether the prices in EIA's outlook actually play out is the biggest wild card. Back to news

There is a feature however specific to user optional fields (compare to ad optional fields). Normally all user optional fields are presented on ad posting page and recorded within ad record in database for the purpose of search and displaying user information within ad body without necessity to pull user information on full ad view page. Exc. box next to User Option on Admin Preferences page if checked, would Exclude this option from displaying at the ad posting page and consequently within ad view page. Great for hiding options, where some user information is intended for administrator only.
6.1.3 Moderators

6.1.4 Trusted users
You may apply a Trusted status to any user from User Manager. Trusted user status applies only, when classified running in Moderated Mode. Ads posted by Trusted users bypass Pending status and go online right away.
6.1.5 Global Operations
There are number of global operations may be performed for user accounts and ads. Go to admin page Global Account Manager. Most of the operations are self explanatory.
6.1.6 Lock/Unlock the site
At the Global Account Manager admin page, there is an option to lock the site from visitors.
Locking the site useful for the time of site maintenance or when performing certain tasks, which take up a great deal of server resources. This would benefit both - to the site administrator and visitors.
Locking the site recommended for the following events:
It is also recommended to execute any of the tasks above during the nighttime or off-pick hours. Specifically if the traffic at the site quite substantial.
When clicking "Lock the site" button, all current visitors banned from the site with custom prompt, which you could specify at the "Message to Visitors" box. Text inserted into the box could be a full featured HTML page content (with valid code) or a simple text message.
While classified is locked, only administrator could freely browse the site (after logging to admin page). If during the site lock you have logged out of the site, then there is only one page is available for access – admin_logon.asp page (or the respective admin logon page specified in config.asp configuration file). Navigate to this page, logon as admin and have the site available to you.
Note: If you logged in as admin from 2 or more browsers, cleared sessions (see below) from one of the browsers and then locked the site, then even if you would be logged out as admin at other browsers, the site would not be locked for them.
Another option at this section is to delete all current user sessions with "Clear Sessions" button. After clicking this button all logged in visitors are logged out (except for yourself as being admin and those users, who have checked "Remember me" while logging in). Clearing sessions might be proper if you have done some major amendments to site structure in relation to Categories or optional fields after locking the site.
List of current sessions opens in another window by clicking "List Sessions". This is an informative page, where you could view who is currently browsing the site (or rather, who has been at the site in the past 2 hours).
Note: Sessions for the most known Search Engines not created.

Can you believe these cute frames are actually paper plates?
I found them at the Xpedx Paper Store (which also happens to be where I want my ashes scattered).
They were around $5 for each set of 8 . . . you would really have to search to find less expensive frames.
I simply glued some ribbon on and duct taped the plate and bow right on to the wall. They are so light that tape really is enough to hold them up, and they are safe for above a crib or in any area that kids or monkeys frequent.
You could glue on photos, create a fancy Birthday sign, or maybe even use them to eat off.

If you are reading this on the day it is posted, I am in Australia and it is the day before the annual NAI International Conference. I am in a time zone 16 hours ahead of my home in Colorado (if you're in Colorado and it's after 8:00 a.m., it's tomorrow for me) and I just (legally) drove on the left side of a two-way street for the first time yesterday. I haven't used a toilet here yet because I heard that the water goes the opposite direction than what I'm accustomed to, and I don't want to be around toilet water that flushes up instead of down.
The morning of our departure, I awoke to the voice of my six-year-old son Joel singing "It's a Small World," the refrain of one of the signature rides at Disney World. It features about 400 animatronic dolls representing different countries and cultures uniting as one to get that song stuck in your head. Suddenly, Joel stopped singing and in a raised voice, exclaimed, "Are you serious? It's not a small world, it's a giant world. We're going to the other side of the world and it's going to take three airplanes and two nights, SO YOU BABIES ARE WRONG!"
I think Joel's right. Those Small World babies are wrong. Sure, some amazing advances in technology have facilitated instantaneous communication worldwide. In preparation for the NAI International Conference, I frequently had email conversations at the end of my work day in Colorado with people just starting the next day in Australia. There was half a planet covered in nighttime between us and we were chatting about the weather and who's going to win the Australian "footy" championship. (Not really. I know nothing about the Australian Football League beyond the fact that the mascot of the Sydney team is the Swans.)
But even as technology increases our ability to communicate and spread communicable diseases, the world remains an enormous place. I think no matter what your profession, you gain perspective by visiting new places, getting out of your comfort zone, and trying to see the world from someone else's point of view. And there are so many ways to accomplish this.
To Joel's point, it's a giant world after all. Sure, the world has gotten smaller metaphorically, but it remains literally a giant place. There's so much out there to see and do. In communication-based professions like graphic design and heritage interpretation, it may not be enough to ask, How would someone across the street, across town, across the state, or on the other side of the planet react to this project? It may require packing a bag and going somewhere new. It's hard to put yourself in someone else's shoes if you don't know what size they wear. (Either that's really deep or I am more jetlagged than I think.)
Granted, it's not always feasible to jet around the planet at will, but any opportunity to break out of your comfort zone is worthwhile and will enhance your perspective. Talk to a stranger on the bus. Eat at a restaurant on the other side of town. Wear a Mets hat (actually, scratch that one). Go somewhere you've never been and interact with as many people as you can.
As I adjust to autumn in April, spelling center as centre, and trying not to clip the sideview mirrors off the cars parked along the streets of Queensland, Australia, I may not fully appreciate the full value of the experience while it's happening. But it is my belief that any experience that broadens my worldview—that helps me appreciate a perspective other than my own—is one that will help me grow as a professional communicator.
And now I have that song stuck in my head.

Art Therapy Certificate Wisconsin Graduate Programs
Continuing education is a large part of many career fields following the completion of a secondary degree, and often required in order to maintain professional licenses and certifications. In fact, participating in continuing education courses is potentially a very important part of furthering professional development and staying up to date with current field advances. This may be especially true within the constantly evolving field of art therapy. As a young discipline originating from these fields, art therapy may be a prime example of how rapid growth in theory and technology occurs.
Art therapy continuing education programs are overseen by the National Board of Certified Counselors. According to the American Art Therapy Association, courses are required to cover topics relating to psychological and psycho-therapeutic theories and practice including: art therapy assessment, art therapy theory and practice, client populations, art theory and media and professionalism and ethics1. The breadth of these content areas enables a good deal of flexibility when choosing specific course that will allow therapists seeking to grow their current skills and acquire new ones to do so.
Benefits of Earning a Graduate Certificate in Art Therapy
Relative to continuing education courses are art therapy certification programs. These programs are designed to help therapists to develop highly specialized skills that they are able to transfer to practice. For instance; certificate tracks may include concentrations in areas such as: art, music, drama, or dance/movement, each as they relate to healing. This may be helpful for both therapists who are seeking to re-acquaint themselves with skills they already possess as well as those interested in adding new skills in order to pursue a change in work environment or pursue career enhancement. For example, therapists without
experience working with adults in a rehabilitation setting that desire to add this skill to their résumé may benefit from a certificate program that addresses this area specifically.
The prerequisites to art therapy certificate programs may vary sometimes requiring a minimum number of undergraduate credits to prior completion of a graduate degree. In addition, programs may also require participants to be licensed mental health or health care professional. Fundamental prerequisites however; include previous courses in art, psychology, and counseling.
Certificate in Art Therapy Requirements
Program requirements typically involve approximately 5-6 courses, including 1-2 core courses and 3-5 elective courses which cover such topics as: expressive arts therapy, drama therapy, personality theory, and abnormal psychology. Some programs allow therapists seeking continuing education requirements to apply these courses towards certificate credit thereby allowing individuals to test their interest in certificate coursework prior to committing to the long term plan of study.
Examples of art therapy certificate programs include: John F. Kennedy University, Appalachian State University, and Lesley University. A number of programs offer on campus courses which may require structured class attendance and timelines for completion, however online program options may also be offered through some institutions which lend increased flexibility and in most cases are considered self-paced, allowing learners to complete them within 1-2 years of registration. The Trauma-Informed Practices and Expressive Arts Therapy Institute and Learning Center for instance offers a uniquely focused, entirely online format. Courses are typically 3-12 hours in total length; meaning that a program could range from 15-60 credit hours. Instructional methods and learner performance may be similar to that of most graduate degree programs involving reading assignments, quizzes, exams, short papers, and unique art based intervention activities. Following satisfactory completion of all programs course objectives, a certificate of completion will be issued as proof of participation.
Art Therapy Certificate Programs FAQ
Q: What are the benefits of obtaining a certificate in art therapy?
A: Certificate programs offer learners opportunities to explore core and advanced subject areas of art therapy at a more in-depth level of analysis. In addition, they may contribute to professional development and enhance a variety of learner skills and areas of expertise. Certificate program courses may also be used to satisfy continuing education requirements, or to assist in career enhancement or transitioning.
Q: What are the requirements to be accepted into an art therapy certificate program?
A: The majority of programs require that applicants already possess, or be working toward a graduate degree in: art therapy, counseling, psychology, or related human services area. Specific prerequisite courses or content areas may vary by program. Previous counseling or therapy experience, or other demonstration of skills such as compassion, empathy, patience, and organization are helpful.
Q: Is a background in art or a specific art talent (e.g., painting, poetry, music) necessary?
A: Although, many learners interested in art therapy do possess an interest or talent in a specific art medium, formal training or background is often not necessary. In these cases, learners only require a willingness to engage and share in the use of various artistic experiences to help individuals grow and heal. Some programs with an emphasis in dance or music however, may require a portfolio submission, audition, or other indication of current abilities.
Q: Is personal participation in art therapy required?
A: Requirements may vary by program, though active participation in expressive arts may help to facilitate understanding of therapy impacts and enhance personal experience. Those specializing in dance or music may have experience different requirements than general art programs.
Q: What is the average certificate program cost?
A: Costs will vary by program; depending largely on the number of required courses, materials, tuition and fees. Financial aid or discounts for multiple course enrollments may also be available for individuals who qualify.
Q: Are there online certificate programs?
