Good morning friends! I have been wanting to get on here again and write, but I was having many issues getting a new password link. It was odd, but I am back. A LOT has changed since my last posting. I don't want to bore you all with all the little details, but basically to sum things up, I had just moved from my childhood home to the state of Florida, into the basically unknown.
I started what I thought was going to be a dream job, and in a way it was. However, being on my own brought with it a lot of unresolved issues within myself and greatly magnified my defects, and I think my strengths as well. My "dream job" began as heaven and ended less gracefully than I would have liked in all honesty, however, I gained a lot of knowledge and new perspectives that I would have never gained otherwise. Most of all though, I did right by people, I impressed myself with the work I was able to carry out, as well as the creativity and drive that I had in the Float industry. It showed me my strengths and my weaknesses and showed me that I had a lot more value than I ever would have thought in a workplace. I learned how to deal with very different personalities and to really speak up for myself. I had never done that at a job before, so it was kind of a big deal.
On to the new!; I am trying not to talk too much about old shit. My intentions now with the help of some great friends and my intuition, are to look ahead and put my ideas into action every day, no matter how small I think they may seem at the time.
In August I went to Portland, Oregon to attend the Float Conference. This place changed my life in ways I never could have pictured even though it went way too quickly. I met some amazing individuals and had the best time. I took it all in and learned and observed as much as possible. I came home with a passion that nothing could break. That momentum still has me going forward. Every day I am making sure I am doing something to make my job easier when the time comes to either open my own Float center or until I find my "Dream Team," that I feel good working with. I got so gung-ho at first and felt that I needed to do it yesterday, but now I have a much more realistic vision.
I have a few projects up in the air right now as we speak, and I have to trust that the right opportunity will be revealed to me as I take it day by day, executing ideas. I will actually know a lot more about where I will be headed today.
I think I mentioned this in an earlier post, how I would not be surprised if I moved 8 times in my first 2 years living on my own. I still feel that is an accurate statement. As of now I am still in Melbourne, Florida, but plan on leaving after my lease ends in December most likely. I told myself I would try and give Florida an honest year, and that is still the plan as of now. There are still many other parts to be explored, however, I am more open-minded to going where the opportunities are.
I feel that I just talked a whole lot about myself, but I wanted to give a basis for what the hell is going on, so things make more sense as I post going forward. I have learned many lessons so far in almost 6 months, but I will share those in the next post because this is a long one.
Thanks so much to all of you who didn't unfollow through my WordPress hiatus. Much love to all of you ❤
Post again real soon. 🙂

I'll post some photos of my trip to San Francisco sometime soon (the best ones were taken by my 15-year-old nephew who had to tag along with his old aunts and mom because his dad had to take a trip north due to a family emergency, also some great shots by my youngest sister who loves taking pictures, which I do not. Never quite get the hang of it, or care enough to try), but for today, one quick story.
Yesterday, after dropping Thyrza off after the clinic run, I stopped by a fabric store. By the way, in downtown San Francisco, there's a fabulous, four-story fabric store which was holding its yearly sale Monday! We were in shock and awe. By the fabrics and by the crowds. And by the way those city women (and a few men) can push. My gracious goodness, they're aggressive. We tried giving our opinion to a lovely young soon-to-be bride who was trying to decide between two red satins for the second of her wedding dresses--I assume for the Asian portion. She texted her family the photos of them, though, and her family voted on the more traditional, while we--and the retail clerk--had urged her to go for the more unusual. Oh well. Don't quit our day jobs (if I had one!).
Anyway. ANYWAY, as I was saying, I was in a fabric store yesterday, grabbing just one piece I needed for something, then had to say my name for the good customer discount card kept behind the counter. Another customer at the counter then asked me, "Are you related to the W____ who works for the Bellingham School District?"
"I am," I answered. "He's my husband." Then I paused. "Is that a good thing or a bad thing?"
"Oh," she said. "Definitely a good thing."
The clerk helping me chuckled. "He's a high school counselor," I told her. Most people love the Beve. They find his patience exactly what their kids need to navigate the rough waters of adolescence. Beve doesn't raise his voice, looks for ways to help kids, looks for ways to step into their shoes--and into the shoes of their parents at the same time. No easy trick, it seems to me.
But sometimes kids can't be helped. They are hell-bent (excuse the pun) on making choices that lead them farther and farther away from right and good and health. And when they make those choices, sometimes it's because their parents are behind them, having made exactly the same kind of choices, their parents behind them...and so forth back through the generations. And yet, those are often the parents who blame the system, blame Beve, blame everyone they can think of for not helping their kids.
So there have been times, and granted not many, when people have had a bone to pick with the Beve, and they are more than willing to pick it with me if that's their only choice. I'm not proud of it, but I was a little tired yesterday. Not at my best. Not up-to-speed, so to speak, so wasn't sure I'd be capable of handling someone who wanted to take a shot at my husband. So I was wary. Almost ready to deny him, if she was about to raise a gun and take a shot.
Our conversation didn't go that way. She loves the Beve. Loves what he's done for her sons, how he's been calm and steady with them, how he's had a talk a time or two to set them back on track, and how those talks seem to be taking.
But here's the thing. I got out to the car, and had a moment. Quite a moment, to tell you the truth. I heard some pretty hard words in my head. "I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times." Now I'm pretty sure I'd never deny that the Beve is my husband. But I also know that sometimes I just don't want to get into it. And isn't that the way it is with Christ? Isn't it true that sometimes it's easier to just keep silent when others around us disparage the name--whose Name we wear? Isn't sometimes simpler to 'hold the peace' when we know that someone who is a believer isn't living up to that Name? How do we most honor the Name? How do we show our neighbors who we're related to?
Maybe you've never denied Him. Maybe every action and word and gesture of your life is seamless. If so, could you please teach me how? Teach the rest of us how? Because I want to honor Him. I really do. I don't want to deny Him. But sometimes I hold my peace when I should speak. So I pray, Father God, just for today, give me the courage of my convictions to speak your name, speak up for your name. To speak the Name of Jesus. I believe, I know, I love, I am related to Jesus.

The world of NPD has changed. It is no longer seen as just some marketing tool or as the packaging of a new product. It is now recognized as the element that makes or breaks any product development in the entire product conception, design, and production chain. This ''fuzzy front end of innovation,'' this phase zero, is where everything starts.
Today's product design needs people who know how to make deeper connections with the human factor in marketing and business. Once upon a time this was a niche relegated only to marketers, but today the global economy is being driven more and more by creativity instead of just knowledge. In fact, there are people who take on jobs in design who first get or already have degrees in psychology, anthropology, and business.
In 2007, the Harvard Business Review wrote: ''We investigated fourteen large companies with an annual sales volume from $500 million to $10 billion. We discovered that only four of them had managed to meet plan in terms of timing, functionality of new products and market share. In five cases companies designed new generation's products which were positively evaluated by experts, but at the end these products failed. As it turned out, every time when in an NPD process difficulties occurred, the roots of problems could easily be found at the stage of early planning, when the company had to decide what design the new product will have.''
Jobs in product design today ask you to come up with ways that new products can satisfy more and more people who have an endless array of products to choose from to meet a particular need already. Research has shown that in the developed world 60% of adult people say that they already have everything they need; now what they look for are things they desire. Market research has also shown that people are more interested in buying an experience, not just a new product. Therefore, to be successful in the marketplace, a new product or brand must be as amazing, exciting, thrilling, and complete for its niche as possible.
Selling cannot be done just on price alone; for in any industry or niche, there can be only one company that has the lowest price; all competitors have to work on better product design. Furthermore, people are more willing than ever to pay more for something that can deliver them that experience and totality that they now have the luxury of being able to desire. People only look for the best price on the needful things that, again, over half already say they have all taken care of.
Research has also shown that more than 90% of all new products put on the market—and there are 30,000 of these every year—fail in the marketplace despite huge expenses poured into research and development. Virtually every time they fail is because the product design phase, the first stage, was not done right.
Part of the great difficulty of a job in product design is actually finding out what people really want, because the vast majority of them do not know or have only a vague idea about it and cannot articulate it. So this job is technically and conceptually very demanding; if you love meeting such challenges, a job in design may be perfect for you.
Typically, if you are qualified for a job in product design, you will have skills and knowledge including:
- Fluency in all of the common product design tools which today include Photoshop, Illustrator, 3-D Modeling, After Effects, and Expression Blend, among others. You are also probably going to need superior Web technology and interactive design skills such as capability in Flash.
- Ability and capability to design and implement prototypes, mock ups, usefulness studies, task analyses, user flows, style guides, wire frames, personas, affinity diagrams, and navigational structures.
- Creativity in presenting and selling design ideas to the product manufacturing divisions.
- Understanding of consumer and client motivations and desires; and integrating these desires into your NPD concepts to enhance end-user features and functionality.
- Consultancy to production team leaders and perhaps a managerial role with regard to outside design and production resources.
- Facilitation of ''fuzzy front end'' think-tank sessions with brainstorming, storyboarding, and accelerated prototyping.
- Collaborating with interdisciplinary team members and project managers to evaluate and keep alive early development concepts and project proposals.
Jobs in new product design in the U.S. are paying an average of $84,000 a year, which is 32% above the national average for all jobs in all industries.

I am so thankful today for my health. We often take our health for granted. We don't realize how fortunate we are to be able to wake up everyday and simply walk! I would encourage you (and me) to try to keep yourself as healthy as possible. Eat great, work out, and feel great!
Lately, I have had many friends and coworkers that are going through rough times with health issues.
Please say a prayer for the following:
- a guidance counselor at my school who always has a great attitude and really cares about the students just found out she has stage 4 pancreatic cancer; she is in her sixties (young!); she plans to continue working and is in good spirits
- a fellow teacher at my school has just had surgery on her spine; she is in her fifties; one of the best teachers at our school; teaches special ed and cares so much for each of her students and always gives 110%
- a friend from high school who is having his thyroid gland removed today due to a cancerous nodule
Thanks for the prayers. Have a great Thursday! The weekend is almost here! :)

So, my leg issue didn't turn out to be such a minor thing By Sunday, my leg was starting to turn pink. I sort of thought it was odd but having never had such a bruise, I just kind of figured it was what it was. Well, Monday when I went to kettlebells, I bang my shin into a kettlebell and honestly it hurt more than anything I have ever felt. I realized then that my shin was hot to the touch and quite swollen. I finally went to urgent care on Tuesday as my doctor had no openings. The doctor there declared it to be infected and put me on an antibiotic.
He also scared me to death by telling me that he was pretty sure I had a blood clot. But strangely, he told me to see my primary care doctor within 24 hours and didn't bother to test for an actual clot. This lead to a pretty sleepless night, wondering if I would die in my sleep. It brought back bad memories of times when I was extremely unhealthy and really did wonder if I would die in my sleep.
I did wake up and went in to see one of the doctors in my primary care practice (but not my doctor). He was not at all worried about clots. He said it was indeed infected and instructed me to come back Friday or Saturday to see how the antibiotics were working. I forgot to ask if I should or could continue to work out. It was really bothering me on Wednesday night so I went home, elevated it and did hot compresses as instructed by the doctor.
Thursday night I tried boxing but it hurt to pivot so I only did what I could. It wasn't a great work out but it was something. I mean, by now I hadn't worked out in two days and going from working out two times a day to none...well, it is not good for me.
I finally got to see my doctor on Friday. She was not happy with the progress with the antibiotics so prescribed a stronger one and gave me a shot. We talked about work outs. She said that she didn't want me to do anything that used my calf muscles. This basically means recumbent bike and swimming. I specifically asked about stair climbing and was told no. BUT I was told I could do recumbent bike and swim. So that was a positive. I also am going to try barbell class again. I may have to skip the lunges and do something else but I will do that.
Last year on my other blog, I posted about the running injuries I had and that I would be okay with walking until I could run again. I was going to start running again this week....and this happened. So I will admit I spent a bit of time feeling sorry for myself and worrying about things. I feel like I could end up gaining weight while I wait out this injury. I do feel like I am losing good training time for the stair climb. But I have reconciled to the fact that I need to heal. Once it is healed, I will deal with all the rest.
On a more positive note, my cleanse is going well. Monday I start the next stage when I don't have to down this horrible tasting thing twice a day. I start a protocol with a protein powder and eliminate beef all together. I do get to add almonds back in and some rice. Slowly the protocol changes over the next three weeks. In fact, one of the weeks will be a vegetarian week. It will go well. I did it one time and I can do it again.
Hope things are going well for everyone else.
Sisu is a Finnish term loosely translated into English as strength of will, determination, perseverance, and acting rationally in the face of adversity. However, the word is widely considered to lack a proper translation into any other language. The literal meaning is equivalent in English to "having guts" but it is more than that. It is a part of one's character.

Fever Crumb is a little strange.
She's part of the Order of the Engineers, the only child (and the only woman) ever to dwell with the intellectuals. She has no hair, like all the others, and she has two different coloured eyes. She doesn't believe in emotions or being irrational or wasteful. She is an Engineer, helper of Dr. Crumb.
Or is she?
Enemies are advancing on London. And enemies are advancing on Fever Crumb, though she doesn't know why. The old Skinner, Bagman Creech, is watching her. Rioters want her dead. Dr. Crumb wants her safe. Kit Solent, a fellow archaeologist wants her to unlock a mysterious vault.
And what does Fever Crumb want?
In My Opinion…
Author: Philip Reeve
Genre: Post-apolyptic Science Fiction
This was my next pick off "books-to-read-if-you-love-the-Hunger-Games". The other two I read off the list (Trapped and The Scorpio Races) were great. Riveting. Fresh. Gripping. But my next pick, Fever Crumb, just didn't have the same effect on me. It took me several days to finish it and all the while I kept wondering why it made the list.
The story line itself was excellent. Thrilling. Well told. Extremely well thought out. Intriguing. One of my first (and remaining) thoughts was, "I would love to watch this as a movie!" It has the makings for one of the best Sci-Fi/fantasy movies ever. But the way it was told left me thinking those dark, critical thoughts that we aspiring-authors sometimes get…how did the author get away with that? Though, after researching the series a bit, I found out Fever Crumbis the prequel series for the Mortal Engines Quartet, which is apparently very famous, and (as rumours say) might be made into a movie soon. I'll look forward to that!
For me, the story kicked off slow and gradually picked up speed, though not in a riveting way. I wanted to know what happened, because of the story, not the style of writing. The point of view swapped around a bit. After a while, you weren't sure whose head you were going to be in, seeing everyone got a say or at least a paragraph here and there. I wasn't impressed with that. Also, the prose came out a little passive at times and the sentences sometimes read rather long and technical.
I liked the characters and the description. It stayed crisp and clear and painted such a vivid, bizarre, mechanical world for the readers to enjoy. While the emotional layer wasn't deep, the story had enough life to keep itself afloat. I liked Fever Crumb's personality—how she always talked about being "rational" and "no time for emotions". She truly was the spark of the series. I thought the setting came across really clear, not tangled or confusing as sometimes happens when you describe a post-apocalyptic world for the readers. There was a lot of back-story though. The characters narrated the past as Fever demanded, so we stay pace with her throughout the book. And the names! I loved the names (like Dr. Crumb, Wavey Godshawk, Kit Solent and Bagman Creech) and I loved the places and the little details.
All in all, I'm glad I finished the book, even if it doesn't rate as a high favourite. I like reading new styles. I just found this a little dry in comparison to the other suggestions on the "what-to-read…" list. I found the ending sad but right all at once. I felt strangely satisfied when Fever didn't end up where you thought she might at the end. It's itching for its sequel. It's worth a read, if just to glimpse the amazing world between the covers and not to dwell on the strangely unrivetting writing.

difference between slogans and taglines is that slogans are more
flexible and fluid, whereas taglines should stand the test of time.
are more ubiquitous and appear in campaign commercials, on packaging
and in display ads, whereas taglines are used more sparingly in
public-facing messaging.
When developing a tagline, look for unique angles within your brand history and production process.
Even veteran marketers sometimes make the mistake of using the terms "tagline" and "slogan" interchangeably. Here, experts set the record straight, explaining the differences between the two terms, and the purpose that each form of messaging serves.
Slogans are more flexible and fluid, whereas taglines should stand the test of time, says Julie Quick, head of insights and strategy at Plano, Texas-based shopper marketing firm Shoptology. "A tagline is a distillation of your corporate values and identity. A slogan is something that's there to help you with branding. … Taglines tend to be about the company, whereas slogans tend to be more about the products, the marketplace, the consumer and a need met. You probably won't change your corporate tagline more than once in a generation, whereas your slogan changes with the culture. It changes with attitudes and market needs. It's designed to be a hook."
"Campaign slogans tend to be a bit longer, like 'Choosy moms choose Jif,'" she says. "That's a great example of a slogan. It's not really about the Jif company. It's more of a call to action about the consumer and the situation."
Slogans are more ubiquitous and appear in campaign commercials, on packaging and in display ads, whereas taglines are used more sparingly in public-facing messaging, generally reserved for corporate communications and brand-building advertising, says Judith Carr-Rodriguez, president and founding partner of New York-based ad agency Figliulo & Partners. "A tagline tends to be a communications device and is used by the brand when it's communicating to consumers."
For example, Apple's current tagline is "Think different," and its current slogan for the iPad Air is "Change is in the air"—an update from the previous iPad slogan, "Two sizes do all," which was created before Apple released the slimmer iPad Air.
"When brands are starting out, sometimes the slogan and tagline are one and the same because you're just trying to establish who you are, what you stand for and why people should buy you," says Erica Mills, CEO of Seattle-based marcom and branding consultancy Claxon.
When developing a tagline, look for unique angles within your brand history and production process, Carr-Rodriguez says. "Look at where you sit within the category, what the truths of your brand history are, where you've come from, what's unique about your production process or how you were conceived, and then what's unique about your product. You want to put those four things together—category, consumer, brand and product—to then come up with the articulation of your brand promise. From there, you can articulate what your tagline will be," she says.
When developing a slogan, on the other hand, you have more room to be creative. "Slogans are designed to be that sticky, catchy repeatable copy or phrase that actually then starts to evolve into songs, visual mnemonics and tremendous shortcuts," Mills says. Slogans can be jingles, like Kit Kat's "Give me a break," she says.
With both taglines and slogans, keep your messaging chatty and casual—and relatable, Mills advises. "Start with a verbal pitch because it tends to be more casual. You can make a more casual sentence into a slightly more formal-sounding sentence, but if you go the other way, you end up sounding like a robot."

No cherries? No problem.
That's how things are stacking up -- spitting out? -- as preparations continue for Saturday's International Cherry Pit Spitting Championship at the Tree-Mendus Fruit Farm in Eau Claire. Orchard owner Herb Teichman reported Tuesday that, because of the April frosts that devastated early-budding cherry trees, this marks the first year in the tournament's 39-year history that cherries won't be available for harvesting during the event, staged on the first Saturday in July.
"We call that 'spitiful','' Teichman dead-panned.
But not to worry. The 82-year-old Teichman said he has on hand an ample supply imported from Poland. Also, he said he'll scour his orchard one last time in search of cherries that perhaps escaped earlier notice.
Teichman recalled that the tournament grew out of a game he used to play with his sister, Emily, when they were children. Eating cherries from trees grown by his father, W.W. "Bill'' Teichman, the two would sit on a ladder against a tree and he'd challenge her to spitoffs usually involving attempts to pluck targets such as a bucket.

I'm a middle-class white male in my late twenties, in 2017
Statistically speaking, I've won a cosmic lottery in terms of opportunities and socio-economic status. I'm not 'rich'. At least I'm not rich by my idea of what rich is, because I still need to put in a hell of a lot of effort for the things I want. Still I need to recognise the facts.
- I have a job where I work my ass off, I did 120 hours of overtime in six weeks, a few months ago – but it pays decently and I enjoy the work.
- I rent a place, and won't be able to afford to buy anything that I'd want for quite a few years – but it's a damned nice place in a great suburb about three kilometres from my office. I wouldn't have gotten it had my landlord not liked the first impression I made, which I did make because of my educational background.
- A few people in my immediate family struggle with mental illness. It's difficult, often harrowing, to deal with seeing people I love become something less than or other than human – but we live in a time and area where psychiatrists have at least an idea of the problem. I can sacrifice my holiday-savings to support them while they are taken up for observation in a psychiatric hospital.
I'm stressed out often, by work, by family, and by my responsibilities to friends and society in general. It's extremely easy to look at what I deal with and think that I have it tough. And sometimes I really do have it tough, but the fact of the matter is that I have so much more than so many people. I know this because I've been on the other end of the spectrum.
I got into university on my grades. I'm a smart person, but not so disciplined that I'd receive one of the few bursaries that are given to white, South African social science students. I had to work my way through my higher education, earning 3000 rand (~$250 at that time) per month, while trying to study full time, from a home that I wanted desperately to avoid.
Those were hard times.
What gets me now, what really irks me, is when people in the middle to upper class say money doesn't buy happiness. They say it when someone struggling financially day dreams about being rich. They completely mishear the issue and reply with something infuriatingly empty to the poor person. The unsaid subtext of the conversation goes something like this:
"I go to sleep worrying about whether my car will start in the morning, and if it doesn't whether it's the fuel I might not be able to afford, or a car part I definitely can't. If my car doesn't start, I still need to get to work, because I work a job where I'm expendable enough that I could be replaced if I can't make work, so someone else will be earning my salary while I'm not there. I might need to spend money on taxis because I can't afford the lump-sum fix. That means sacrificing the getaway I've been planning for my children and myself. I fantasise that I could just worry about my son's broken leg or what kind of chemo we're putting my grandmother on. I fantasise about wealth. I fantasise about every decision I make not carrying potentially massive consequences, and about every thing I want not being a trade off against something I already have."
"Yes well money doesn't buy happiness. You can be rich and depressed. A fancy car will not fix that."
That lack of understanding boils my blood. Of course you will still have troubles when you have money. But you will not sit with the deafening static of anxiety about something completely unrelated to the moment you're trying to enjoy; you will not be constantly pessimistic because you keep disappointing yourself or your loved ones with an over-budget; you will not be judged for having children by people who will say you should have been more financially responsible as though you're life is supposed to be a perfect expression of fiscal discipline because "that's the way it is. You don't get to enjoy the simple pleasures because you're poor. Fuck you.".
The absolute worst are the people who are so (relatively) wealthy that they get to say talking about money is tacky. Money is like oxygen – if you have so much of it that you don't even have to think about it, then of course it seems silly when other people keep discussing it. But they're suffocating. They legitimately need to worry, and talk about how much oxygen they have left or have spent.
You can have problems with money, but you can have those same problems compounded onto a hell of a lot of other problems because you're poor. Quipping a cliche about more money more problems or money not buying happiness to someone in that position is obtuse and thoughtless.
I wasn't planning to write all that
I started this post with the below paragraph, and then wanted to give it some context:
People given power or privilege by the system have the luxury of being simultaneously oppressive and dignified. The oppressed scream back, and are called barbaric, uncivilised, brutish. Comfort is anathema to empathy.
It's common in South Africa for people to burn schools because the municipal government doesn't give them service delivery. They burn trains or buses because of transportation issues. When middle class people watch the news and see poor communities protesting. They call them barbaric and stupid. They're right, right?
They're wrong. Those poor people have tried conventional methods. They've tried letters and peaceful protest. They've been patient with having no water or electricity – sometimes for years. So now they have to scream at us. Now they have to set their own communities on fire just to be heard. It's not stupidity, it's desperation. We know that's what it takes for them to be noticed, because we only hear about their troubles when they do things this way. They're the victims of a corrupt and apathetic system and we still treat them as though they're the ones in the wrong.
We're blind because our world is the same size as our comfort zone.
That's the broad point I was trying to get at with the original paragraph. You might not be a bigot, but we live in a bigoted system. Even the most forward-thinking white middle class liberals who have a fashionable understanding of the status quo, are quite likely intellectually incestuous people who, in their comfort, are passively profiteering from a sexist, racist, capitalist system that gives them the capacity to discuss topical points at cocktail parties that they're doing nothing to change.
It makes me sad to think that you can't force someone to open their mind if they believe it's already open.

Africa, it's time to make the RoboPolice your friend
In the next 20 years, or less, the era of human policing will be over. There have been efforts over time to keep humans out of harm's way -from criminality and its consequences. Also, since ancient times, human society has always seen the need to safeguard lives and property as a fundamental truth.
However, times are rapidly changing before our very eyes, just like scenes from a sci-fi movie. The era of robotic policing has begun, with tech firms outside of Africa launching robots which perform the functions of a beat cop, patrol malls and parking spaces, throw up nets to catch criminals (imagine a spider's web) and control vehicular traffic. Awesome!
How would you like it, if we interacted with cops who wore head-mounted video cameras to record their interactions with error-prone or crime-inclined humans? The devices would perch above their 'extra-terrestrial' ears and would automatically self-activate, whenever they spoke with a crime suspect or someone. Video of such interactions would then be uploaded to a central server.
Do you know an almost-similar device was tested in 2009 in San Jose, California, U.S.A?
Of course it was and I would say it is a welcome development, if you asked me, because lots of people (especially in developing parts of the world), do not trust the police right now. If you think I am wrong on this one assumption, there is a comments section just beneath this post.
But, okay, let's go ahead with this robot police (and policing) thing. The device, known as AXON, can also attach to other parts of the body. With this, it is expected that alleged instances of police brutality, extortions and general improper conduct should be curbed to a large extent.
In February 2014, Congo introduced us all to the African version of Robocop, or rather, a Congolese version. The robots were designed by Women's Technologies (WOTECH), a Congolese cooperative led by Thérèse Izay Kirongozo, an entrepreneur whose businesses include three restaurants aside from WOTECH. This cop regulates the traffic, gives tickets to cab drivers and traffic offenders. The robot is 100% Congolese and financed by the Women Technology Association. Its name is Robot Roulage, derived from the name given to traffic cops (Policier Roulage); it is 2.5 m tall, and fully autonomous, functioning with solar energy. Robot Roulage was first installed at the Boulevard Lumumba in Kinshasa. It is interesting to note that Congo had 5 of these humanoid robots regulating traffic in Kinshasa, as at January 2017. Since the launch of the first Robot Roulage, there has been no replication in other African countries and that technology has not scaled as well as it is supposed to. It has been three years.
Do we really have other African countries setting the pace in Robotics? The answer is No.
One year after, a Mountain View startup founded in 2013 called Knightscope developed a fleet of crime-fighting robots. Knightscope's K5 security robots resemble a mix between R2D2 and a Dalek from Doctor Who. The system behind these robots which is a bit Orwellian, have broadcasting and sophisticated monitoring capabilities to keep public spaces in check, as they rove through open areas, halls and corridors for suspicious activity. Today, Knightscope still makes autonomous crime-fighting robots that patrol malls, sports arenas, and the corporate campuses of tech companies like Microsoft, Uber and Juniper Networks. Knightscope rents out the machines for $7 an hour, which is less than one human security guard's hourly salary.
The units upload what they see to a backend security network, using 360-degree high-definition and low-light infrared cameras and a built-in microphone can be used to communicate with passersby. An audio event detection system can also pick up noise, such as breaking glass and send an alert to the system as well.
While we celebrate the giant strides the world is taking in the world of robotics, there are ventures in Africa that which exist within that same space; Pan-African Robotics Competition (PARC), is one. PARC was founded by Dr. Sidy Ndao, a tireless advocate of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education for the Sustainable Development of Africa. In May 2016, the first edition of the Pan-African Robotics Competition was organized in Dakar, Senegal with over 200 participants. This was the collective effort of a group of dedicated STEM advocates across the African continent.
Talk about individuals as catalysts in the field of Robotics, I think Africa needs Chinemelu Ezeh. In his first year at the Imperial College, London (ICL), Chinemelu was team leader of a group that designed and constructed a track-competing robot using assembly language. While in his fourth year, he built a robot from scratch to demonstrate a navigation system, for his thesis which was based on the Design and Implementation of Control and Path Planning of Autonomous Vehicles. It centered on Design and Implementation of Control and Path Planning of Autonomous Vehicles. So, shouldn't Chinemelu be able to make Policebot prototypes too? Just wondering.
More partnerships, encouragement and angel funds should be made available to the likes of Chinemelu to ensure Africa meets up with the technology advancement of which it is in dire need (and, also, is able to produce robots which could make life easier in the continent and are of exportable quality).
Earlier this month, it came to my notice that Dubai had recruited a humanoid Robocop into its police force. It even resembles that movie bot you see in Robocop (the movie), from where the name itself became popular. The city plans to recruit a lot of the bots, so they can eventually make up 25% of the force by 2030. Though the Robocop does not wield any weapon, citizens can ask it questions, pay fines and access a variety of police information via purpose-built software. Its facial recognition technology is only 80% accurate, but the robot's camera eyes will send live feeds to a command control center for analysis. It even knows how to salute you and is busy patrolling the Dubai Mall, even as you read this.
The idea of a Robocop is not the future. It is NOW. Africa needs to take a share of the robotics market, before it is left behind.

A talented jewellery student from Milngavie has showcased her stunning creations at a public exhibition for the first time.
Eve Hendry, who is a jewellery and silversmithing student at Glasgow Clyde College, had several pieces of her work on show at the Cardonald Campus last week as part of the college's Festival of Creative and Cultural Industries.
The 19-year-old said: "When I finish studying, I'd love to have my work featured in galleries so this was a great experience for me.
"It was a chance for me to see how my designs look on display and to hear what people think of them."
Eve was inspired to apply for the Glasgow Clyde College course because her art teacher at school had completed the same qualification.
The former Douglas Academy pupil added: "I loved art when I was at school but didn't really know what I wanted to do when I left. One of my teachers recommended the course to me as they had done it themselves and knew I was interested in learning how to make jewellery."
Anne Clare Graham, senior lecturer at the college, said: "It's really important that students are given the opportunity to experience the business side of pursuing a career as a jewellery designer or maker while still at college. Projects like this allow students to see what it is like to work in the industry or be self-employed and get feedback."

Thirty, the big 3-0, the year one is officially a grown-up. I wrote a blog about this last year, but I'll go ahead and revisit some of the things turning 30 means for me. The biggest thing is seeing if I've acquired the taste for coffee. On Saturday, July 14, 2012, my husband will be choosing the coffee I try to see if my taste buds know they're grown up. I'm a bit nervous about this since I abhor coffee. Really, I'm afraid I might throw up. But I'll be brave and keep my promise to try it, mostly because Chase loves coffee so much and I think he would enjoy sharing his delight in it with me.
Thirty is also the age I will be when we become homeowners. Wow, I'm such a grown-up! As long as the bank gives us a loan (which we've been pre-approved for), we'll be closing on our first house August 15. Our boys will have a bedroom together and their baby sister will have her very own (very girly) room. Naptime will be so much easier! AND our room will no longer be taken over by laundry! (At our current place the washer & dryer are in the garage, so our bedroom doubles as where we put dirty clothes and where I fold the clean ones). You know you're getting old when you get excited by the idea of having a clean floor being way easier when you have hardwood in the dining room (and most everywhere else) as opposed to old janky carpet. I dread the process of moving, especially since it'll be three hours north-ish of where we live now, but I'm excited to live in our own house in a city with lots of things to do.
|Me holding Charlotte
Turning 30 means no more shopping in the junior's department, no more low rise jeans (well, having babies means no more low rise jeans), no more wearing cartoon characters on my shirts (at least in public, I'll continue to wear them around the house because the boys get a kick out of seeing Cat in the Hat and Mario & Luigi on my shirts). These things are fine, I mean, maybe if I dress a little more grown up people won't be so surprised that I have three kids.
I have two days (well, really, a day and a half) left of my 20's. I feel like I should do something irresponsible. Live it up. Have cake for breakfast! Jaywalk! Post a picture of myself on Facebook doing something silly and I'll later regret it! Watch Workaholics! (Shhh! Workaholics is my new favorite show, but don't tell because it's pretty dumb. It's like Adam Sandler-type comedy: think Billy Madison & Happy Gilmore meet Stella.)
What dumb things should I do with my last day-and-a-half of my 20's? You know, things that are appropriate in your 20's but not in your 30's? Note: I probably won't do any of the suggested things unless they can be done while taking care of three small kids (What? I have 3 kids? I'm not old enough!) and packing for our move.

Feature photo by Benjamin Tardif
Thirty-five years ago this month, the Judgment of Paris happened. Such a name evokes a gravitas yielding bloodied images of guillotines, drawing and quartering, and perhaps burning at the stake. But the year was 1976, not 1776. And yet, for the French, something tantamount to public execution happened: American wines beat their wines in a double-blind tasting. Given the poor state of the French wine industry right now, one could argue that this Judgment did involve bloodshed.
A lone reporter from Time magazine covered the event. He was the only press there, for it seemed a foregone conclusion that the French would win and as such, worthy of no more than a yawn. In his book on the Judgment, he – George M. Taber – recalls the moment when he couldn't believe what he was seeing:
"About halfway through the white wine part of the competition, I began to notice something quite shocking. I had a list of the wines and realized that the judges [who were without a list and doing a blind tasting] were getting confused! They were identifying a French wine as a California one and vice versa."
These elite judges, men and women representing the best palettes France had to offer at the time, assumed the best wines of the blind tasting were French. Taber knew differently as he had the list of wines in his very hands. Taber goes on:
"Raymond Oliver, the owner and chef of the Grand Véfour restaurant in Paris, one of the temples of French haute cuisine, swirled a white wine in his glass, held it up to the light to examine the pale straw color, smelled it, and then tasted it. After a pause he said, 'Ah, back to France!' I checked my list of wines to be sure, but Oliver had in fact just tasted a 1972 Freemark Abby from California's Napa Valley! Soon after, Claude Dubois-Millet of GaultMillau, a publisher of French food and wine books and magazines, tasted another white wine, and said with great confidence, 'That is definitely California. It has no nose.'"
We can guess the end of this story. The wine ended up being one of the best wines France produces. But on that day as well as a couple years later when the blind tasting was conducted again, American wines won out. Decades later, as we all well know, America still has some of the best wines in the world.
While this true story has strands of American exceptionalism or perhaps just a classic case of luck (depending on how you define it) or the fruits of hard work married with talent and skill or however you want to define it, it is also a cautionary tale concerning the power of the all-seeing eye. In a less dramatic version, this is a pedestrian story about how humble we should be, no matter if we're some of the best tasters in the history of the world, when it comes to blind tastings.
One way of conducting your own blind tasting is to not just cover up the bottles but to cover up the glass as well. Whether you have a magic marker or a blindfold, are dining in the dark at one of the dark restaurants of the world or have a blind tasting glass (there are many to choose from), you can strengthen your own wine sense. It's one of the best workouts you can do for your palette. Cheers!

Just to have all three of my favourite bands covered, I will do a post on Three Days Grace, who I actually know very little about. What I know is that it's an all-male band, and they make some seriously awesome music! Today's song is called World So Cold, of course, by Three Days Grace.
(Lyrics you will find by clicking here)
This video is not the official music video. I don't think they have a real music video for this song, and that's too bad, but that's the way it is. This song was published on the album Life Starts Now in 2009.
Well, I don't know a lot about this song, but I do know that this song is beautiful, and the lyrics are really powerful, and I can relate to it in many ways. I like the voice of Adam Gontier, the vocalist. I really love the whole song, from lyrics to instruments and vocals. It's just a great song! I think he has a good point, the world can be so cold, especially when you love someone who doesn't love you back, like I think he is saying.
"Livin' in a world so cold, wasting away. Livin' in a shell with no soul, since you've gone away. Livin' in a world so cold, counting the days, since you've gone away"
At least I can relate to it in my way, and you others may have your own opinion.
Even though I have already quoted this song, I feel that I need to get another quote that also matters to me.
"For so long I'm left behind, I feel like I'm losing my mind"
(World So Cold – Three Days Grace)

Big Book Sale: Ongoing Through This Week
April 19, 2011 at 2:57 pm Jason Erik Lundberg 32 comments
Don't forget to visit the Library each afternoon for the Big Book Sale located in the main reading area, with many titles as low as $1.00 or 50¢, and all proceeds to go toward the Needy Pupil Fund. I managed to find a like-new hardcover copy of Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma for only $5, which was a steal!

I think that this big book sale is very interesting and it is very useful to us, students. As books these days are getting more and more expensive, we do not want to spend our money on books. However, this book sale let Hwa Chong students to buy books at very cheap prices like 50cent or $1. Even the most expensive book is $5! Thus, i strongly encourage everyone to visit the book sale now!
I myself also agrees that the book sale is very meaningful. The money earned will be given to the Needy Pupil Fund, and we could get ourselves some good books while donating at the same time, isn't that killing two birds with one stone? Also, books there are available at very low prices and there are a variety of books. Therefore, I really encourage everyone to have a look at the book sale, as the prices are really worth it and we can also contribute to the funds.
Personally, I feel that the ongoing book sale is both meaningful and beneficial. It is meaningful in the sense that the funds will be given to the Needy Pupil Fund. It is also very beneficial, as it allows students, or even parents, to buy books at low prices. This was exactly the book sale was about. I think that the school should hold more of such events, so as to promote reading in our students, instead of just relying on the "reading period" to do the job.
Book sales are often opportunities where we can find our favourite books while exploring new ones at affordable prices. At this book sale, I found different types of interesting books which i could not find in the book stores out at the public. Thus this book sale has presented me a fabulous chance to get beneficial novels and books at reasonable prices. Other than expanding our knowledge and exposing us to different books, this book sale also serves as a charity fund to raise funds for the Needy Pupil Fund. This is simply allowing us to help the needy while exposing ourselves to various types of books at the cheapest prices which we could find. Thus I strongly urge everyone to drop by the book sale at the library before it ends. Even if you do not purchase any books, I believe you could still be exposed to various books from different authors. Well, if you manage to, it could help both the needy and yourself in different ways
I think this book sale is very good and useful to many of us. I heard from my friends that there was a great variety of books there! I feel that we should take some time off our busy schedule and take a look at the book sale and try to buy good books. Also, the money we pay would be used for a very meaningful and good cause-Needy pupil fund. So, I will definitely go there and take a look at the books and I urge everyone who reads this comment to also have a look at the book sale and help to contribute to the needy as well as to get a good book for your own reading pleasure!
Book sales, with so many various titles, at so cheap prices, in the Kong Chian Library is a good buy. The books arranged in the sale are interesting novels, and story books, at very cheap and reasonable prices. These books, which either bring us delight, or educational value, is sold to everyone to raise funds for the Needy Pupil Fund. Yes, therefore it benefits everyone. Some novels here are real difficult to find, and by pricing the books at such cheap prices, it is considered to be 'stealing' them! I think the books are not arranged orderly, or rather, very messily. Probably it is the people who browse through the books who do not take responsibility and place the books back where they were. But anyway, do pay a visit to the sale, take a look at all the variety of books, novels they sell. This book sale is generally interesting, because of the really cheap prices, and the great variety of books offered.
Glad that the students found the sale to be a "steal". I am hoping that more contributions (as in used books) will come in even after the sale so that we can have a fresh supply for next year's sale.
Here's to Reading!
This book sale is definitely different from other book sales – such low prices and the proceeds going to Needy Pupil Fund, but it seems irony. At low prices, not much money can be earned from the sale, which means lesser donation to the Needy Pupil Fund. However, on the other hand, it benefits us by allowing us to get books without spending much money. For those who doesn't have the time, it would not be possible to finish a book with a very long story borrowed from the library. Even if it is possible, you would have rushed through the story. Owning a book let us enjoy the story at any pace we like. If we want, we can also read the story again and again, unlike library books. Also, the books should be arranged properly so that it would be easier to browse through them.
Personally, I find that this book fair is quite meaningful as it promotes reading and also raises funds for the Needy Pupil Fund at the same time. I also find that this is a good time to grab some new books as how often can you find books at such cheap prices. A suggestion from me is that book fairs like this can be held more often so that students can buy books at cheaper prices more often.
The big book sale, was a fantastic event. Several types of books were available, ranging from fiction to non-fiction, thin to thick, light-hearted to sombre books. While the buyers purchase books, the money collected are donated to the Needy Pupils Fund, which is a very good way to accomplish more things with less effort. I feel that there can be more of these book sales as they allow students to be exposed to a larger variety of books.
I was there with one of my classmates that day and I have to say that it is a rather meaningful way of raising funds for the needy students. Not only are the books beneficial to us, but the money that we pay for it is also beneficial for others too. Moreover the books were of a large variety, both chinese and english books were available and comics were there too! I really hope to have more events like this, it always helps to have more books at home.
I feel that this book sale which was at the Library was very meaningful and The money earned will be donated to the Needy Pupil Fund, and at the same time we could get ourselves some good books; killing two birds with one stone! I found many different types of interesting books at this book sale which I would most probably not be able to find in the book stores outside in Singapore. Hence this book sale has offered me a great chance to get interesting and beneficial novels and books at very cheap prices compared to popular or other book stores.
I was there at the book sale and I really appreiciated the fact that many people had donated those books . They were playing a part in helping the more needy students and also playing a part in saving the environment. Also, most of the books were in very good condition, but their prices have been reduced to below two dollars this shows how much the books could have helped one to save a great deal of money. Last year, I was also at the book sale where I spotted my friend's textbook (Her name was on it). Then again this year, i saw her book again this shows that the books are not thrown away when not sold but kept to the next sale until another person needs it and buys it. Rather than throwing those books away, they are sold to be reused, this plays a great part in conserving our environment.
This booksale is very beneficial. Students get to buy different books at prices that are mainly below $2. There are paperback books too. The money collected are contributed to the Needy Pupil Fund. When buying a book, students in turn also help others. Buying books from the sale is really a 'steal'. I hope there will be more books contributed so that next year's sale will have even more varieties of books.
I found this big book sale very useful and beneficial. All the money collected from this book sales would be kindly donated to the Needy Pupil Fund. The books sold there are also very cheap and very worth the money despite the fact that some of them could be very old already. They are being sold at unbelievable prices at the cheapest being 50¢ and the most expensive only $5. I myself also did go and take a look at the books and managed to get a good buy. I hope that next year, such an event would be organised again and there will be a greater variety of books available.
I was there at the book sale and I was amazed at the qualities of the books. It has a variety of collections which are interesting books written by famous authors. I am glad that people actually donated their books in to raise funds for needy pupil. Such act of kindness should be spread throughout our school, so that everyone could also do what they can to help the needy raise funds. The best part is, all the books are mostly below $2, how on Earth could you find a book in a good condition, with very good content at below $2? This is a gift from the god, everyone. I bought one book too, so that I hope that more people would be like me!
In my opinion, I find this event very meaningful as it encourages students to buy books they are interested in at a very discounted price. Books such as the Outsiders we sold at prices as cheap as 50cents. This enables students to actually own the books of thier interest and would allow them to develop a greater passion in reading books. To conclude, I think this event is very good and there should be more of such in the near future.
I feel that this book sale is very beneficial and meaningful. I was there at the sale, and I saw books of all kinds, sold at extremely low prices. Most of the books are still in good condition, and some of the books, which are written by famous authors, cost only a few dollars! How are we able to get books of such quality at such low prices? This is really an extremely precious and wonderful book sale for everyone. We increased our mastery of the english language, we saved some money, and helped others through the needy student fund! This idea is very good, as we gained while helping others, and this can be seen as a win-win situation. I really appreciated this book sale, most of the time, after we bought a book, we read it once or twice and just leave it on our book shelve or throw it away. But through this book sale, we benefited from others' books, and other people benefited from our donation! I really hope that this type of book sale are held more frequently, so that by the time we finished reading the books that we bought in the book sale this time, another book sale had started, and we can contribute our books, and get new books. Overall, I am very grateful to this book sale, as I really gained much from it
i feel that this event is very meaningful and useful in one way or another. firstly, it is very meeaningful as all the money collected in the sales will go to the Needy Pupil Fund. it is useful as it encourages us to read more and read widely. i am amazed when i find out that the books on sale are as low as $0.50. i never thought that books can be so cheap yet entertaining. i really regretted not going to buy one. i wasted this golden chance. as books in bookshops are priced at above $10. if there is such a event next year, i am sure i will be one of the first to check those books out.
I feel that the big book sale is a great event. The reason I say this is because, firstly, it sells interesting books and some old books that you will not find easily at other book stores at a cheap and affordable price. Secondly, this helps to promote reading among students. Thirdly, this helps to raise funds for needy pupils as a the money profited from the Big Book Sale would be donated to the Needy Pupil Fund. I feel that we should hold such event more often as it is very beneficial and I look forward to the next Big Book Sale.
I really feel that the big book sale is a really good way of raising money as well as keeping the planet green! First of all, this event is really beneficial as the money raised will go to the the needy pupil fund. Not only that, by donating books to the book sale, others will have a chance of reading something new and they get to buy the books at a really low price! This is definitely a win-win situation! I truthfully feel that this event is a great idea, it might seem to be just a simple event but there are so many people who gain from this event! I hope even more people will come down to participate in this event the next time. Let's promote reading and raise funds at the same time!
I think this book sale is very good and useful to all of us. I feel that the big book sale is a wonderful way to raise donation and to promote reading. It has a wide range of books which are very informative. Just by spending 50 cents to a dollar for a good book, and at the same time helping other people, I feel that it is a good deal.My friends told me that the books there were interesting and informative and that it should not be missed. Thus thanks to my friend, I managed to get a good book from the sale. I will certainly go and check out the book sale next year! I hope that next year, there will be a greater variety of books available.
On 21 April, i went to the book talk at kong chian library and after the talk i went to have a look at the book sale.The books are not arranged properly which gives me the feeling of being in a "market" which sells books and the prices of the book are very cheap just like how the price differ from supermarts and wet markets.I feel that using books to raise funds is very good as many people would spend money on books compared to games and the books are sold at very cheap prices.These type of book sale are very rare unless you go all the way to bugis so i hope that there would be more of these book sale especially if they are used to raise funds for a good cause.
I think that the Big Book Sale is very successful, since the books sold are cheap and will thus encourage us students to buy them, since we have limited amount of pocket money. It also helps to promote good reading habits, and if we choose a book that we enjoy,we might start to read more and more, this will increase our knowledge and our writing skills. Also, the money collected goes toward the Needy Pupil Fund, which I think is a very good idea. However, I think that maybe some posters can be put up outside the library as students might forget about it. The poster can remind them that the Big Book Sale is going on. I think that more book sales can be put upto promote reading and help those in need.
I feel that this event is very meaningful. We could go there and have the books for such a cheap price which is rarely anywhere. This can help to promote reading of books, which is really true as I would consider buying some books. Also, as the money would go to the Needy Pupil Fund, this is meaningful as well. I really hope that the book sale would last longer or make it a weekly affair in the library.
I agree with most of the other students that this book sale is very successful and beneficial. It encourages many to read more as they may think that buying a new book is expensive and are afraid that they might forget to return it when borrowed from a library. This book sale is also a good way of saving the earth as well as helping needy pupils.
I think that this library book sale is very beneficial to us as most of us do not have the time to go down to a library to borrow books. With this book sale, we can purchase books at a low price and we do not have to take time out to go return books. This greatly encourages students to read more books. Buying these books not only encourages us to read, the money used to buy these books also go to the Needy Pupil Fund which makes this event really meaningful.
I feel that organizing a book sale in our very own KC library is a very good ideas. Selling book at a price of between 50 cents to 5 dollars can promote reading as students would be tempted to go down and just grab a few books given the low price and the proceeds were also going towards the Needy Pupil Fund. However, when I visited it after the talk by Dave Chua and Koh Hong Teng on the first day, I realized that there was hardly any people there, I feel that more advertisement should be done like for example pasting posters around the school as the only form of notice of such an event is mostly only through EMB and our LA teachers.
I think that this big book sale is very successful as it does not only allow us to purchase books which cost as low as 50 cents, but also be doing a good deed as all the money earned would go to the Needy Pupil Fund. Furthermore, this event can also encourage more pupils to start reading books more often. It is an event that everyone cant bear to miss!
I really enjoyed the book sale as I managed to pick up some good book that i had been wanting to read but cannot bear to fork out the money. The prices at which the books were sold were very attractive and the best thing is that the more books we buy, the more money the school has for the Needy Pupil fund. This is a win-win situation where the students are being encouraged to read while the Fund also gets support. Therefore, I support the big book sale and hope that the school library would continue to hold these events. I feel that the big book sale really gives us the opportunity buy a few good books that are beneficial to us but would not cost us too much. It was unfortunate that I was unable to go on the first few days and by the time I went, there were very few books left.
I feel that the book sale is both is very beneficial. As firstly it helps by raising funds for the Needy Pupil Fund, helping others while helping ourselves as the big on sale has a large variety and it would certainly interest anyone encouraging them to read more books. Hence more of such events should be organised as many parties benefit from it.
I feel that this event is a good idea, as this not only helps to raise funds for the needy, but also to encourage students to read more. By selling books at dirt-cheap prices, more students would be encouraged to buy and read them. I strongly regret missing out on this year's book sale and I hope that there will be more in the future.

text: Hi there, We have an application that runs under java and under android which encrypts and decrypts data using AES. We found that we can decrypt data under android if the data was originally encrypted using android, and same applies with the java version. However, if we tried decrypting under android data that was originally encrypted under java, it doesnt work, and vice versa. We believe we have narrowed it down to SecureRandom. For some reason, secret keys derived from SecureRandom are different for java and android. Has anyone else experienced this and are there any solutions to this problem? Thanks in advance.

so after reading all of the great posts about the taco trucks on international, i set aside a bit of time to go check it out. i take ruth's recommendation of el ojo de agua and order the torta cubana. i was sad to see no egg, but a very tasty (and big) sandwich.
question- on the menu, a dish was listed as the specialty of the house, but i had never seen the word (started with a c...). it was far and away the most expensive item ($10) and came in the same varieties as the tacos and burritos (pastor, carne asada, etc.). what is this crazy thing, and has anyone tried it?
because of this board, now two hours of my saturdays are going to be devoted to taco trucks. thanks for all of the great insight!

Myself, Sean Kershaw and Aaron Barter at the Olympics.
When you go to the Olympics, there are a few things you have to take advantage of. This picture is a combination of the best things in life. An awesome day, a couple of beers, some enthusiastic friends, and a whole pile of Olympic sprint racing. Not to brag or anything, but I would say this was in fact the best day of my life to date.

Good-bye, Emma! :'(
Off to see Claire's hometown now; hopefully we'll make it there by dinnertime since we keep prolonging the departure time.
Morning Beverage:
The last time I'll drink these amazing lattes. :'(

Dinner at Lou Malnati's Pizzeria, Naperville, IL:
Finally eating a "real" deep dish pizza (I don't count the time I had Uno's at the airport)! I enjoyed the crispy crust a lot, but the pizza left something to be desired. The cheese was pulling, which I quite liked, but I thought the toppings could have been better. I suppose I'm just more of a NYC-style pizza type of gal. There's just too much cheese going on here, and the proportions are too off for me.
Best part of the meal. Could have used slightly more chocolate chip cookie.
Snack from Cookie Dough Creations, Naperville, IL:
Yes! No eggs! I also sampled the turtle and fudge brownie flavours, but those were way too sweet. This is also a small size; Claire and I cannot fathom anyone eating a large size. We barely finished a quarter.
Late Night Girls' Night Snack:
Still couldn't finish this dough. I mildly want to bake it and see how it tastes.

Hundreds of high school students will leave the hallowed halls of their schools for the last time this week as another graduation season comes upon us.
Many of those students will continue their educations at colleges and universities here and abroad.
Others will go straight into the workforce and others may choose to pursue life in another country.
They will be embarking on their future and to them, we offer a few pearls of wisdom gleaned from a variety of sources.
Always do your best. If you do it doesn't matter if someone else does it better.
Never leave a job that you can't go back to, or in other words, don't burn your bridges.
Take the time to do it right the first time.
Don't underestimate yourself, but don't lie to yourself.
Don't procrastinate.
Look for a job you like to do, not necessarily the one your parents think you should have.
If you don't know how to budget money, learn.
Learn to cook.
There is no nutritional value in negative thinking.
It's more important to be significant than successful.
Do the right thing all the time.
Make your own coffee.
Get into the habit of saving your money.
Live your life as if you are a mentor to someone younger, because you are.
This is your lucky day. You can do anything you want to with this day except have it back.
Forgiving someone is a lot easier on you than carrying a grudge.
If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
When God closes one door, he opens another.
Tomorrow is another day.
Take the word can't out of your vocabulary.
When praises go up, blessings come down.
Give respect to get respect.
Say 'I love you' every day.
Become involved in your community and politics.
Wear sunscreen.
Cherish your family.
Remember where you came from and whose you are.

Abstract :
Cypermethrin used to control many insect pests in domestic, industrial and agricultural situations. Under this study a total of (80) adult domestic pigeons were purchased from local market in Basrah city. Then to study the short term exposure of cypermethrin for two months with four groups; group one low dose 0.25 mg/day, group two intermediate dose 0.5 mg/day, group three high dose 0.75 mg/day and fourth control group. While, to study the long term exposure of cypermethrin for four months divided into four groups; group one low dose 0.25 mg/day, group two intermediate dose 0.75 mg/day, group three high dose 1 mg/day and fourth control group. At the end of the experiment all pigeons were killed, selected bone and bone marrow and fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin for histopathological study. The short term exposure showed in low dose bone with an osteosis and prominent blood vessels, with metaphases and diphyses, metaphases going down into diphyses forming new bone. The bone marrow with a reduced number ofnormoblst or non active haemopoesis. In intermediate dose the bone with a chondroses and going down to diphyses with new bone formation. While, the bone marrow non active haemopoesis and the majority normoblst. In high dose the bone with osteosis and vacuolation but, the bone marrow looks like yellow with poor haemopoesis with prominent fat cells. In pigeon with long term exposure the pathological changes as chondroses in metaphysic with giving rise to osteosis in diphyses and normoblst, heterophiles and mature red blood cells nucleated but reduced activity in both bone and bone marrow of low dose respectively. While, in intermediate dose the bone with metaphyses extending into diphyses with proliferation of chondrocytes into metaphyses but the bone marrow with a congestion and mature red blood cells. In high dose the bone osteosis and prominent blood vessels and metaphyses with mark proliferation of chondroide tissue and presence of chondroide tissue into bone trabeculae indicating active newbone formation but bone marrow with a poor haemopoesis and yellow in character prominent adipose tissue. In conclusion it can said that cypermethrin effect not only in different organs but also on bone and bone marrow in birds when enter the cycle of this component by may be eaten fishes or any water species or seeds treated with cypermethrin.

The second grade lesson that I designed this year for Valentine's Day takes its inspiration from the Mexican folk art Huichol -- or yarn painting. Students use heart tracers to obtain a basic shape, then work from the outside in using glue to attach the yarn to the cut-out heart shape. The hearts are then mounted to square papers. Keeping with the three-heart theme as the younger grades, the students make three yarn-painting hearts which are mounted together on a larger paper.
Here is a student example:
