As a writer, I'm always interested in other writers — why they write, what they get from it, what they hope to convey. Sometimes I look to them for explanations of myself, of what I do. Today, I turned to Wallace Stegner and his essay "The Law of Nature and Dream of Man: Ruminations on the Art of Fiction" (Where the Bluebird Sings to the Lemonade Springs) and found this:
"The writers I admire, and still admire, are not carpenters but sculptors. Their art was and is a real probe of troubling human confusions. … They were after the mystery implicit in the stone."
Yes, the "mystery implicit in the stone." That's what I hope to uncover while writing. I want to reach a deeper meaning of something, of anything, of everything. I want to dig into those "troubling human confusions" that confound me and create currents of anxiety that are somewhat soothed by the perception of having touched upon a pebble of understanding.
The writing process is a struggle for I can never be satisfied with knowing just the facts. I have to find the why — more than the why, in truth. I often compare myself to other writers and wonder what satisfies them and if I'll ever be satisfied with what meaning I manage to uncover through thought and language — or thought through language. So many doubts.
I find some comfort and inspiration in Stegner's words: "By now I am prepared to guess that any method that lets a writer lay bare a moment of mystery is legitimate. Skill is whatever works. Different skills will work for different writers, and upon different readers, but any skill must work toward something."
I have work to do.

Most of the Strasbourg houses are decorated with beautiful flowers which adds beauty to the city. La Petite France, on the western end of the Grand Île (Strasbourg town focus) is a flawless spot to visit by vessel or by walking. This memorable zone is encompassed by water, the River Ill and different channels slicing through the center of it. Seeing its numerous noteworthy half-timbered homes reflected in the water is a beautiful sight. It wasn't generally that way. Generally, La Petite France was a poor area of the city, involved by plants and tanneries, both of which relied on upon the stream and its descending streaming branches to bolster their work. The territory likewise served as a port, transporting Alsatian wine and other load. For a long time it was only a grimy, foul spot, until the modern age tagged along and things changed. Since the center of the twentieth century, La Petite France has been changed into an enchanting visitor destination, with its numerous sixteenth and seventeenth century houses safeguarded.
Choose a seat in the outdoor seating area of the local restaurant in Strasbourg by the river and sit under the protection of a huge white umbrella on a sunny day on your vacation.
This type of wooden window architecture is very common in the city of Strasbourg, as well as the other Alsatian cities and towns in eastern France.
I am looking forward to my next trip to Alsace already! It was such an exciting family trip this summer in Strasbourg and must be repeated in the near future!
Alsace is very well-known for its flowers and plant decorations found throughout the towns and cities in the region.
If you tilt your head to the right, you will see the rustic vintage style wooden windows of this local cafe/pub.
Locals try to peek through their small wooden windows in the old traditional Alsatian houses at the tourists who visit the city each year.
Buy a traditional handmade Alsatian necklace when you are on vacation in Europe!
You can always tour a city or town by boat when the river runs around its main attractions.
This would make a great alternative way to sightseeing rather than walking!
All tourists who come to Strasbourg to learn more about Alsatian culture find themselves very content and satisfied once it is time to go back home at the end of their trip!
In the Christmas Market, during the Christmas holidays, you will encounter many people wearing stork hats, also known as cigogne, which is Alsace's famous local bird.
Enjoy exploring the city by going on fun and exciting adventures when on vacation in Europe!
Thank you

Taking home a pet ferret as pet is truly a joyous experience. You can expect a lot of fun and memorable times with your new ferret. However, with the excitement that it brings, you might overlook the most important things to consider when you first introduce this fury animal to your family and home. Make sure to do the things listed below in order for both you and your pet to have a seamless relationship.
No Diseases Please
Probably the most crucial factor to do before letting your new pet interact with your children is to bring it to a veterinarian for a routine checkup. Just imagine the health risks that you and your family will be put through if you bring home a ferret as pet with diseases or parasites. Ferrets that carry diseases display various symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and lack of energy. If you see any of these symptoms, have your pet checked immediately. There may be cases when your pet needs to be quarantined for a week or two to make sure it will not transmit its disease or health issue.
Clean Cage or Enclosure
Your ferret will spend a lot of time in its cage or enclosure, so make sure its living environment is clean. Also, due to the fact that your pet loves to run and move around, make sure that you give it enough space to move freely with. Also make sure that its environment is free from any small things that it can swallow or choke, and remove any live electrical wires that it will certainly chew on. If you decide to put it in a cage, be sure to place it in a strategic location where predators like cats, snakes and big birds would not be able to reach and harm your pet.
Introducing Ferret as Pet to another Family Pet
Introducing your new ferret as pet to an old existing pet will take some effort and strategy. If your old pet is also a ferret, the first thing to do is to bring them close and let them smell each other. Never do this in a cage because one of them might feel territorial. Do it as long as needed, stop only when you see that both animals are at already at ease and comfortable being close to one another.
Introducing your ferret to another type of animal may require more work and patience especially when your old pet is a lot larger that your new ferret. For example, if you have an old pet dog or cat, getting it acquainted with a small ferret might be a challenge. Given its small stature, your ferret can easily get hurt while interacting with your bigger pets, so close and constant supervision is needed. In their first interaction, you can expect a little tension. When everything settles down, let them sniff and inspect each other. If they start to play, run or wrestle, make sure that no one gets hurt. Letting all your pets know that they are treated equally will create a jealous-free and friendly relationship between all your pets.
Proper Ferret Handling for Kids
Teaching your children how to properly handle and interact with your pet ferret is also another vital matter. As I've said earlier, due to its small size and fragile body, your children specially the younger ones can easily harm your fury pet. The proper way to handle is to hold it carefully but not too tightly. To avoid sudden movements that may cause accidental fall or mishandling, tap its back to make it feels comfortable and safe. Furthermore, let your children know that although it appreciates being hand held and patted, ferrets would rather be on the ground running and exploring their environment. So hold your pet only when needed and be extra careful not to step on it.
Handling a Biting Ferret
Although not really common, some ferrets have the tendency to bite things and even their owners. There are many reasons why some ferret resort to this action, one of them is that it lacks attention and love. To avoid raising a biting ferret, be sure to spend more time with it and make it feel secured and loved.

Sacred Art/Religious Art
Sacred art. What makes art sacred is the attitude of the artist. If we can define what we mean by a sacred attitude or a sacred state, then we can say that an artist who is in that state or has that attitude while making art is creating sacred art.
Religious art. Religious art is art produced for use in religious observances. It may or may not be sacred art. The attitude of the artist is irrelevant. The artist can be a producing the art strictly for commercial purposes.
But who knows. Maybe it really is the viewer who matters. Even if the artist is a cynical moneygrubbing opportunist, if the art inspires the viewer maybe that's all that's required. Ideally, the artist and the viewers are of the same mind regarding religion and the artist sincerely plays to the viewers. Maybe.
Another Theory. Maybe artists in our society have become largely unbelieving hence religious art is being produced mostly by hacks.
Yet another theory. Maybe artists really are religious but the world of mainstream religion has strayed so far from the reality of artists that artists can no longer relate to it.

In 2013, Hella Jongerius and Vitra collaborated on the design of a chair for the North Delegates Lounge at the UN headquarters in New York. This model served as a basis for the development of the East River Chair.
New for 2017 the East River Chair is now available with the seat shell covered entirely in leather. Hella Jongerius developed four variations, each of which combines leathers in two different colours on the inner and outer face, using contrasting cross stitching for a decorative effect.
This new version - in comparison to the original expressive mix of materials and fabrics, - exudes a calmer visual appearance and is suitable for a variety of interior settings.

MAY 26, 2017, GREAT LAKES (NNS) – In an effort to open lines of communication between the enlisted training entities of all five military branches, Recruit Training Command (RTC) hosted the third annual 2017 Drill Instructor Summit, May 15-19.
The summit is designed to facilitate dialogue between the services, aid in the exchange of ideas, discuss societal trends affecting basic military training, and identify best practices which serve to benefit enlisted training across the services.
"Two years ago it was hosted by the Army, last year the Air Force and this year was Navy's turn," said Senior Chief Aviation Ordnanceman Daniel Wiita, who escorted the group of 16 drill instructors around the command. "It's a collaboration of drill instructors or drill instructor instructors that come to each base every year so that we can talk about our processes and try to improve upon the way we do business by learning from the other forces."
The summit focuses on five areas so each branch may see how each handle the different areas, and so they may learn from each branch's methods. The five areas are:
* Recruit Training – to examine trends in professionalism, esprit de corps, retention and training.
* Instructor Misconduct Processes – to compare and contrast how misconduct is handled.
* Gender Integration – to review how services integrate training of male and female recruits.
* Manning and Staffing – to define how instructors are selected, trained and retained.
* Ceremonies – to understand culminating ceremonies of each branch of service.
A variety of service mission briefs included an outline of the basic training environment, command structure, jargon, training locations, unit composition, instructor assignments, generalized training focus and follow-on training.
The instructors toured various training facilities including Freedom Hall, the command's state-of-the-art, 187,000 square-foot physical training facility; USS Missouri Small Arms Marksmanship Trainer (SAMT), where recruits learn to handle and fire the Navy's standard issue M9 Berretta pistol; and USS Reuben James, a recruit barracks and galley.
The group also visited the Golden 13 in-processing center, named after the first 13 African-American naval officers, where all recruits begin their Navy career. They also toured RTC's firefighting and damage control trainer, USS Chief.
On the final day of their visit the instructors had breakfast with recruits in the USS Reuben James galley before taking a tour of the USS Trayer, where recruits participate in Battle Stations-21, a 12-hour event where they complete 17 different shipboard scenarios. The state-of-the-art training facility uses theme park special effects technology to simulate a variety of shipboard emergencies, such as shipboard fires and compartment flooding.
Following the tour, the group observed a capping ceremony for the recruits who had successfully completed this final leg in their boot camp training.
"I feel we learned a lot from all the services drill instructors. We were given very good information that we can take back to our leadership to help improve our boot camp," said Air Force Tech. Sgt. Christina Arsate.
The group wrapped up their visit by observing the Pass-In-Review ceremony where 668 recruits graduated from boot camp following their eight weeks of training.
"Overall I feel I can take back areas for improvement from our week at the 2017 Drill Instructor Summit. This week was worthwhile!" said Army Master Sgt. Randy Magdaleno.
Attendees also visited USS Hopper for a ship tour and e-Sailor overview; Recruit Memorial Chapel for a religious ministries and resiliency brief; USS Marlinespike for a seamanship facility tour; and Recruit Division Commander (RDC) "C" School, to learn about the RDC training.
"The summit was a success in developing lines of communication, training and exchanging ideas between the branches," said Lt. Allen Rotert, learning standards officer. "All branches of the armed services were impressed with the professionalism of the staff at RTC, the base facilities, and the standardization of training and expectations among all recruits."
Next year, the 2018 Drill Instructor Summit will be hosted by the U.S. Coast Guard.
Boot camp is approximately eight weeks and all enlistees into the U.S. Navy begin their careers at the command. Training includes physical fitness, seamanship, firearms, firefighting and shipboard damage control, along with lessons in Navy heritage and core values, teamwork and discipline. About 30,000 to 40,000 recruits graduate annually from RTC and begin their Navy careers.

In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt. ~Margaret Atwood
Today is one of my favorite days of the year. I find it impossible not to smile when everywhere I look, trees and flowers are trying to bloom. Pastures all over are welcoming new life. The sun is making a regular appearance and bringing warmth along with it. Even the bugs are coming back. I enjoy all the seasons, but every year when spring returns, I feel as though I am welcoming back an old friend.
Special thanks to my wonderful husband, for the beautiful pictures of the first spring sunrise.

I love that the music for ballroom dancing is evolving. No more are you limited to a Frank Sinatra croon in order to foxtrot. I wonder how many times the foxtrot has been done to 'New York, New York'? Latin dances are being done to music other than Latin. I'm hearing Heart, and Madonna, Black-Eyed Peas and Pussy-Cat Dolls. And the dances look great!
What this means is that ballroom dancing is reaching into new generations, and I couldn't be more thrilled! Once thought of as 'stodgy' dances for 'old folks', (which was never really true, but many perceived it that way), ballroom dancing is popular, mainstream and hot, hot, hot!
While some of the music is indeed new, some of us are hearing familiar songs done a new and different way. The big hit that the Pussy-Cat Dolls sang for the movie 'Shall We Dance' was a great song for cha-cha...it's called 'Sway with Me', and decades ago was recorded by Dean Martin, along with a handful of others from that time.
I'm going to begin talking about music selection in the near future. Perhaps those of you who are already seasoned dancers can post your favorites so the newcomers to ballroom dancing can get a better idea of which
songs are best suited to which dances. I found it helpful when I was first starting out to listen to the radio and find the beat of the song, then decide which dance could be best done to that particular song.
I've often seen new students at their first or second studio dance hesitate to go to the floor as the music started, simply because they weren't sure what dance they should do. The interesting thing is, if they'll notice,
oftentimes different couples are doing different dances to the same song. And it's all good.

The Next Ballroom Dancing Movie Features Antonio Banderas
This should be a great movie! "Take the Lead" is inspired by the true story of a high school teacher (played by Antonio Banderas) and the class of "rejects" he must teach. The students literally laugh in his face when he tells them he will be teaching ballroom dancing. It will be in theatres April 7 and I, for one, can hardly wait!
You can check out the trailer for the movie at http://www.taketheleadmovie.com
I look forward to seeing how learning to ballroom dance impacts these teenager's lives. I know firsthand the benefits that dancing offers, many of which have little to do with the physical act of dancing. The poise, grace and balance that develop naturally as a direct result of maintaining the frame while gliding across the floor, the boost of self confidence that comes from accomplishing a goal and the general feeling of euphoria that settles over you even after you leave the studio...what a natural high! I wonder what kind of difference it would make in our future society if ballroom dancing was introduced in schools across the country?

Thank you, "Dancing with the Stars"!
To my fellow dance lovers: I found this article from ABC News that I thought you might find interesting. It just serves to underscore what I've been saying about ballroom dancing for a long time. I am so grateful to "Dancing with the Stars" for bringing ballroom dancing to the forefront of the nation's attention in such an exciting yet elegant way.
Feb. 2, 2006 — Ballroom dancing no longer means stepping on someone's toes at your cousin's wedding. What was once considered stodgy has become sleek, sexy — even cool.
ABC's "Dancing with the Stars," originally a summer series, became a surprise blockbuster —19 million viewers tuned in last week. All over America, people are putting on their dancing shoes and changing their lives. And the show is giving the dancers, some of them called B-list celebrities, a career jump-start.
One of last season's stars, John O'Hurley, now has a full dance card. He's on Broadway, playing the lead in "Chicago." He credits his terrific tango with his new lease on life.
"Well, it certainly has helped," he said. "And it accounts for the size of the paycheck, I'll tell you that."
Tatum O'Neal, voted off in a tearful moment early in this season's competition, didn't have to cry for long. She popped up on "Entertainment Tonight" with a new gig as an entertainment reporter.
And then there's Master P, a last-minute fill-in for his son, rapper Lil' Romeo, who was injured while playing basketball. The judges knew he couldn't dance, but viewers kept on voting him back. He is suddenly a crossover household name.
Celebrity Surrogates
Katrina Szish, an editor at Us Weekly, said that viewers can relate to these celebrities — stumbling and klutzy at the beginning, elegant and graceful at the end.
"The celebrities are the surrogates for us. They're actually the guinea pigs for us," Szish said.
Partner dancing has been sneaking up on us. The 1992 movie, "Strictly Ballroom," won a top prize at the Cannes Film Festival and breathed life into a pastime many thought of as stuffy and out-of-date.
Many say the revival gained momentum two years ago with the movie "Shall We Dance?," starring Jennifer Lopez and Richard Gere. In "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's steamy dance shows ballroom is definitely not for sissies. And then there is the recent documentary, "Mad Hot Ballroom," about a dance competition for inner-city, public school kids in New York City that has audiences rooting for the underdogs.
"We've seen sort of a pop cultural collision of interest in ballroom dancing," said Szish. "It works sort of like fashion trends. Somehow everybody around the world suddenly decides this is it, this is the trend."
Rules and Romance
Arthur Murray, one of the oldest chains of dance instruction studios, said enrollment is up 30 percent, on top of a 15 percent rise the year before.
"It is something that is softer and gentler than everything else that we're exposed to these days," Szish said. "And I think the fact that there is some level of comfort in it, there is some sort of a retro comfort in it, is what makes all of us gravitate toward it."
Even college kids are figuring out the appeal of dancing with a partner — both the rules and the romance.
Shira, a member of the ballroom dance team at Columbia University in New York, said, "You're actually in contact with another human being. There's something really satisfying about that."
Yev and Rachel, also members of the team, became a couple on and off the dance floor.
"I think it's a great way to meet, you know, meet a girl," Yev said. "It's really nice."
Marilyn Agrelo, the director of "Mad Hot Ballroom," said maybe it's time for people to touch again on the dance floor.
"I think we're living in really challenging times, there's a lot of political dissent in the country and political division," she said. "Ballroom dancing… makes people feel secure. I think it brings people to a place that makes them feel safe and …civilized."
And this writer and dancer could not agree more. I hope you feel the urge to go out dancing this weekend!

Getting started is easy!
I've heard so many people make the statement "I'd like to learn how to ballroom dance, but I've got two left feet...I just can't dance". I want to encourage anyone who has ever had the slightest desire to dance to pursue it! If you can walk, you can learn to dance.
Ballroom dancing is, put simply, merely steps. Some forward steps, some back steps, some side steps. When combined in a series, and with music as the background, you're dancing. No one comes into this world knowing how to walk, read a book or drive a car. These are all learned skills, and so is ballroom dancing. Granted, for some it may come easier, (it helps to have an innate sense of rhythm), but every skill needed to become proficient on the dance floor can be acquired.
Television shows like 'Ballroom Bootcamp' and 'Dancing with the Stars' have proven that people with no former knowledge of dancing can become quite talented on the dance floor. It takes proper instruction and yes, it does require practice. But what skill doesn't? It takes practice to learn anything new. Knowledge of dancing is something that, once learned, will bring a lifetime of enjoyment.
Getting started couldn't be easier. Look in your local phone book, find a studio, call them and
sign up for a beginner's group class. Don't worry about looking silly, everyone there will be just like you, a beginner! The instructors see beginners every single day. You don't need a partner, but if you have one, it's a wonderful experience to share. Group classes are usually very reasonably priced and meet about once a week for an hour for 6 to 8 weeks. They're a lot of fun, you'll meet lots of really nice people (ballroom dancers as a whole are some the nicest people you'll ever know) and you'll be amazed at how good it makes you feel!

Ballroom dancing sweeps the Pops
A decade ago, only die-hard dance aficionados turned out for ballroom dance.
Today, it's everywhere. In movies. In clubs. And, most prominently, on television, where ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" is the darling of the moment.
Next weekend, it will also be on the Music Hall stage, where the Cincinnati Pops will present "Shall We Dance," featuring champion ballroom dancers along with an ensemble from the Cincinnati Ballet.
It's anyone's guess why we've reconnected with ballroom dancing. Maybe we're looking for something to rescue us from uncertain economic and political news. Or perhaps it's the next step up the evolutionary ladder from swing dance. Possibly it's just because it looks like so much fun.
Whatever the reason, it's television that has led us to ballroom's doorstep.
"The TV exposure has gotten many more people interested," says Michael Mead, a four-time U.S. Ballroom Champion who will be performing at Music Hall with his partner, Toni Redpath.
"In the past, you actually had to go to a competition to see ballroom dancing," says Mead. "But now ... it's everywhere."
Mead and Redpath taught Richard Gere, Jennifer Lopez and Susan Sarandon how to dance for the 2004 film "Shall We Dance." The movie was only modestly successful at the box office. But in its wake, ballroom dance classes around the country experienced a bump in attendance.
Here in Cincinnati, Mead and Redpath will have to share the stage with an orchestra. And that means giving up the prime real estate at the center of the stage.
Their dance floor will be more like a runway - a space 15 feet wide by 60 feet long.
"It's not ideal, but we've done it before," says Mead. "It doesn't frighten us, but ... well, when there's a drop-off, you do have to avoid the edges. But it makes is a little more exciting."

Ballroom Dancing is enjoying a comeback
The popularity of ballroom dancing is climbing with ever-increasing speed. Dance studios are reporting record numbers of new enrollments. "Dancing with the Stars" is commanding a huge audience whose numbers rise weekly and Primetime recently devoted an hour-long episode to ballroom dancing. Some say the renewed popularity was sparked by the movie "Shall We Dance", in which Richard Gere and Jennifer Lopez aptly demonstrated the allure of ballroom dancing.
When was the last time you went dancing?
A week? A month? Longer? NEVER?? Perhaps you've forgotten (or maybe you've never known) how ballroom dancing makes you feel....confident, graceful, sensual, even seductive. Gliding around the floor, feeling lighter than air, savoring that satisfaction that comes from knowing others are watching....many with envy. If you've never experienced the euphoria that dancing can bring, you've cheated yourself on a decadent pleasure. The world loves a dancer!

good afternoon everyone thanks for having me so on the summit we talk about Python in education and it seems to be but I mean the all end of the spectrum we have because this is
university in education so my
name is honestly women and this is compact view of my 20 years as trying to engineer so at the lock and honored to have a very diverse career thing but no I worked for University of almost where I am teaching the bachelor students and electronic engineering so the talk but
I'm going to presenter today I'll go through these items here just short of what what we are doing now what kind of into education we have had and what a little bit about how the Danish university education a brief introduction to the online education landscape of collapsed and then plot going to more about what are the challenges for for education for online education mainly what but can for serious challenges and and how should be addressed those challenges and I'll % what we're trying to do not the transformation of the existing education and lastly how Python can fit into 2 this online
education of the university and it so the existing data can have to their lives because they're trying to signed here it's credits for the bachelor education takes 3 and half years where there is a 6 month internship included we have a very good cooperation with the local industry so we we are able to place almost all of students in in in companies for these 6 months and it tends to be that that after they have been 6 months the company most of the world right a passionate thesis at that company of from the tasks that these companies give them and a large percentage of those who have solved problems from other companies would continue in employment these companies and the indicated it is located in name which is similar to this part of the of Denmark and it's not large city but we're lucky to have quite a large number of industries and some of them are quite big that most the largest 1 is probably Siemens wind power which is located on the list of 20 miles from from the from the education and of course there's a lot of of wind power related companies that support the vistas and seems which of them will be the largest wind power factors industries we have so it's a kind of exclusive education and we are we have we will only except for the students each year so it's kind this is more education so a a little bit
about University of always sodium resources the largest university in Denmark even those that also on of the 2nd largest city in the announcement of the last 5 years as a bigger laughter emerges in in the the Danish universities in sector service and actually the almost has has swallowed up a large number of smaller campuses among them the campus inheritance so in Denmark the tuition is free on the university education and so the students would get an allowance while doing the studies and they can apply for a little interest student loans the this the allowances almost but not for the for the students to to live off from a to it's around 800 to it 100 euros money but there are also allowed to to the work that as a limit for how much they can vary in the releases 2 jobs but there there was sometimes when when our students go abroad and talk about their and conditions as a student people wrote won't believe it but it's actually a tree and that I had to think it's a good idea of how I'm happy with this system because it is it allows people to focus on the education and that's a good thing so of course we have all
heard about uh these online this new little guys in the in the education sector Coursera can University of mediates stamp of out of to everyone and their mother seems to to have have offerings in online education and and other I think that the traditional at university occasion slowly coming around to saying that that that there is a need for it doesn't demand for on on online education efforts offerings so but but we have seen in in according to what we were trying to do in and we're trying to we're not going to eliminate these offerings will try to take the best part of the and then provided in our setting we want to we want on that occasion to still be credited which 1 our students to be able to obtain this allowance so there's that should be the same level of quality and control in knowledge for the is going to still be accredited that's very important for us because that's how the universe gets states it gives indication that loses its adequately accreditation we cannot be reimbursed for for the work that we're doing so this extremely important that we don't use that pretty so then the have as we can see the online offerings that may see is mostly focused on single subject single topics as single course eventually maybe have kind of certification that that can be used for to your skills and the the way that they are sort this through a short videos experience of and then there will be some problems and the student and so on and after each larger sections section there will be some tests are those of the student will call themselves to to see how they're doing all that will be if that also offerings where the there will be a teacher or a system that creates the problem solving skills of students so this this what we see is that is that the way that online education is growing and of course if there's a lot of of good thing is in and this is this nice form for the students to be able to do through study when they have the time and the the the drive and and they can do it all more and in the old days but we also see that there are some challenges to this approach especially if you if you want to have a full time education based on on on the rings we we see a possible trends in how how can we keep the on 1 student focused how could we avoid that they spend too much time on 1 and everything else that you can do when you sit in front of a computer and if if we if we have full-time students that that's all means doing the study through online offerings we that is real the danger that that the people get isolated that they won't it won't feel this is as if they are part of a larger group or that they are all along and that it's not topic that we we we actually you find that these things about this isolation even though that we have a character that we have uh people coming to classes even even in those situations we actually see that there are some students that that for 1 or 1 of the reasons that gets isolated all the little so I think that's a real issue here also when when you're when your own when you're doing online learning you you are the driver for the motivation and and it's of course so on 1 hand and then you will have to some extent theorized people who are good at motivating themselves of positive do that we could have motivating cells also have another advantage in and and traditional education but but the other thing that the motivation part is going to be smaller in online of and finally there's also some some challenges for of the teaching faculty we we need to pull to plan differently and we need to be better to anticipate questionable because what if there direct interaction with the the students we have to prepare in energy of different ways so and I will briefly go over this is not a chart about learning theory but I want to emphasize a few things that in the way that we can look at it a teaching and learning because if you if we could talk
about teaching then the important factor is the teacher so if we if we look at education that's something that we have to teach that we will focus on the teacher and maybe that's not the most efficient way to look at education and learning because maybe review the outcome of the teaching should be that the that students learn something was when when we as teachers feel that that are students didn't learn what we have I had hoped planned then we could very easily fall into this trap that that you could just say OK I did everything that you would have planned have all this nice problems have abated very good lecture so if they didn't understand they must be stupid and that's that that's a very very dangerous thing to do 1 thing to begin to look at your student body and then divided into groups the good students and that students because the cost of that they're going to to while the of private it with and if we can give up on the past we shouldn't context with because they don't exist I think that we we we have to except that there no good student that's entirely different ways of learning and if we instead of focusing on the teacher focusing on the learning so that the outcome of of of our teaching then we will focus on the students and we will begin asking questions like how would you prefer to from here and how would you prefer to region or the distance on word 2 videos to problem solving all or what is the best way for you to prevent this this topic this topic and sometimes that a bit of an and so are there are some places where you would prefer to to be and learning these president can't really asked today because how this is related to the determined by the teacher when is determined by the classrooms with and where is that C on campus we we can't really uh change that in the traditional setting but we have the possibility in the online uh situation we have to make sure that we can make more allowances for computers to choose their learning environment so as a teacher in this and this sitting out job will be more to provide the tools and the curriculum to allow for the student to to have a learning problem so what we're going to do in the new education is that we will we will also this as online this Bachelor study as an online an online study that's we will we will kind of you tried to make it so there will be both on campus students and online store and they can mix and match as they want some on campus you can choose to stay at home some days or weeks or whatever and some online students can choose to come to to the campus to to engage with the others to do so but we want 1 the start of started to start with the week-long who can where we get all the students you either 1 or both of the online and on campus students should come to this to campus so that we can set up a computer and form that seems that we all need to to during the study and well introduce them to the teachers and and and get out there relationship going on between the students internally but also between the students and faculty the semester we will use this we call it is is not an hour is not our intention the idea of the flipped classroom and that will be the main way that going to teach so we'll have that the students will prepare for for all the sessions which we all know of will have their plan by looking at the news at home doing all problems and so there will be video lectures and in uh and they had to read the stuff and and things like that so that they're prepared for the year the session the the online sessions on complicated systems where where the where there would be a discussion about what words what was important part of the lessons for today and there would be problem solving and stuff like that and there's that's something that we haven't tried it we we don't know if it's going to work but we want to get people both online and on campus on this in the same time so that people on campus can interact with the online students while by the internet so a little more
about the flipped platinum room to that in the top we have the option is not fast the teachers going through the target for the 2 very that the students are listening and then they go home 1 by 1 and and study the the the primarily the text for for the class in the flipped classroom there will be a preparation part where students prepare for the lesson at home and then when they come to a little to lessen the teacher will be more of a facilitator than a lecturer and the students will engage with the topics and with each other so that they have they use the preparation in the classroom and they can use the discussions between the students to to further improve the learning that's the idea that
it is as it is not our invention and it seems to me that they have been quite successful stories about it so we're going to usable connect for the collaboration part and life science for streaming it's not
really important uh this is in electronics this study so we we will we haven't made this box with all this stuff that the that the engineer will need so there will be a a bread water PC oscilloscope and and that's a computer and love all the tools that they need so that they can do exercises at home and we would uh they would get this is the 1st week and I will take that home like if you had a bunch of the Ontario campus to the systems of course will be you use in laboratories the facilities that we have on the campus so find a
job at and I think most of the time so how can we use Python in online the education but of course we use Python for a teaching program that's that's no or not really any news but I think it's actually a very good way of teaching computer science also but since this is an entity OK which focus on embedded in this systems we need to supplement it with some cities so that that they can that that students will have that and I want to use the IPython notebook as a matter of a replacement and I think that's perfectly reasonable but but we'll see and I'm not the only teacher and why it is OK so and when I this this is just an observation that when we have these internship we go on and on and what the with the students uh while they are in integer plot to see if there alright and then we actually more times and not just about a discovered that Python actually is used in the industries for different things so I don't think it's necessarily the downside to to be able to write in your on your CV that used to happen during your education I think that's that's perfectly valid to to to have that so I'm at the end you can read this I had spent all my time to thank you FIL this thank
thank any questions hi since the talk and you mentioned students potential becoming disengaged and isolated as the online and the students how do you know who is something that you do an analysis of the usage and if you do see some of these that what you do this so what I didn't discuss here what was how we're going to follow up throughout the semester but we will have a 1 to 1 1 to describe sessions with the with the online students we we do that already with the on-campus students we talked to them more times throughout the semester to see how how they work it's it's the curriculum is suitable for them all or if they're the teamwork is located and stuff like that so we we really tried to to interview for students in order to to make sure that there are there OK but that's something that we we value that there should be a very the closest approach closeness between the students and the fact that we want to happen and we want to be approachable as well so that that's sort of what I really want this simple camp to to actually show ourselves as of the teachers but we also human beings and we're not dangerous for the Wilkinson note will change in this and you

Sermon :: January 15, 2017
John 1:29-42
29[John the Baptist] saw Jesus coming toward him and declared, "Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! 30This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me because he was before me.' 31I myself did not know him; but I came baptizing with water for this reason, that he might be revealed to Israel." 32And John testified, "I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. 33I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.' 34And I myself have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God."
35The next day John again was standing with two of his disciples, 36and as he watched Jesus walk by, he exclaimed, "Look, here is the Lamb of God!" 37The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. 38When Jesus turned and saw them following, he said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?" 39He said to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon. 40One of the two who heard John speak and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41He first found his brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which is translated Anointed). 42He brought Simon to Jesus, who looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John. You are to be called Cephas" (which is translated Peter).
Let me paint a little picture of what a typical morning looks like for me: I get up with the kids, make some coffee (for me, not them), get them some breakfast (and eat a little myself if there's time), and then I begin looking. Looking for clean clothes and a matching pair of sock for kids, looking at pictures the girls doodle while they wait to get ready, look at the mess my son makes with whatever he happens to be eating (bananas are the worst and they're his favorite), and looking for that thing I need to remember to give to somebody if I can just remember what and who it goes to. Then, after the kids are at daycare, and I warm up the coffee I poured for myself and didn't have time to drink, I catch up on the news and find that just about everybody is looking for something – looking for a suspect, looking for an easy way to lose some weight, looking for an answer to a social problem of our time, and looking for a smart way to use resources. It seems we're all looking for something – acceptance, community, love, security, comfort, peace, and purpose.
It seems beautifully fitting, then, when Jesus' first words in the gospel of John are, "What are you looking for?" When he's faced with some new people who might want to check him out, he doesn't give them a list of his credentials or show them a notarized form stating that he was, in fact, the Son of God as John claimed he was. He asks them, "What are you looking for?" The soon-to-be disciples want to know where he is staying – they want to be with him, they want to be near him. And his response is not to tell them, but to show them. "Come and see" he tells them.
Come and see. "What are you looking for?" and "Come and see." This is how Jesus begins his baptized ministry in the gospel of John. And I have to believe that these are the phrases Jesus is still speaking to his followers. We all come from different places, different backgrounds, and different systems of belief. I know enough of you to know that we have come from different churches and that we are all in different places in our life of faith. Some of us have been doing this Christian thing our whole lives, some of us have been pretending and going through the motions our whole lives, and some of us are just getting started, unsure of what it all means. And, to each and every one of us, he asks the question, "What are you looking for?" And to each of our answers he responds, "Come and see."
Come and see that Jesus is who he says he is. Come and see that Jesus is both God and human. Come and see what an abundant life looks like (not a wealthy life, but an abundant life). Come and see that love doesn't require you to change first. Come and see. Come and see.
This is how Jesus calls his disciples, this is how Jesus calls us, and I can't help but believe that this is a good way to spread the gospel to the world around us. Instead of arguments and clichés, we offer invitation. "What are you looking for? Come and see." This phrase means a lot; it means we don't have all the answers. It's an invitation to witness what God is doing through broken people like you and me. It's a confession that we aren't perfect, that we don't have a theologically bulletproof answer to every question we have, but that we trust the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Christ has lasting impact on the world today. Come and see the baby in the manger. Come and see the world changed. Come and see the Son of God. Come and see the cross. Come and see the open grave. Come and see.
And I think the most powerful words in this gospel are what is not said. Jesus does not command his would-be followers to get their messed up lives together before following. He doesn't tell them to come and agree with everything he says. He doesn't tell them to come and not question anything. He doesn't tell them to come and says they'll never be challenged or convicted. He invites them to come on a journey with him. He simply says, "Come and see."
That's what we are doing here, each and every week. We are coming to see the power of God, we are coming to remember the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Christ, and we are here to see the Holy Spirit at work. And that's the invitation we offer to the world around us. Come and see; not us and our accomplishments, but Jesus, not a group of perfect people who have it all together, but a group of sinners made saints by the love and grace of God. Come and see Jesus at work.
It perhaps goes without saying that responding to this invitation is not easy. This life offers us very few easy answers. But God gives us love that has no limits or ending. As we experience this call to discipleship, and as we offer it to others in the name of Jesus, we will experience a vast journey together. You will be challenged and consoled. You will work and you will rest. You will serve as the hands and feet of God and you will be served by God through others. You will be disappointed and you will be elated. But most of all, most of all, you will be embarking on a journey and you will find what you're looking for in Jesus.
We will always be looking for something, and I'm pretty sure my faith in Jesus will not help me find a matching pair of socks for my kids every day, but I believe the journey of life will always find its answers in God. And Jesus is the way we see and experience God, the lens through which the invisible God becomes visible. And this Christ, this Jesus guy, invites us into a deeper relationship, a deeper love of God and the world, each and every day. He never tell us to change first, but in the presence of love, real, authentic, unconditional love, change will always occur. So now I ask you, what are you looking for? And to your answer Jesus responds, "Come and see." Amen.

Former Chelsea FC and England Midfielder Frank Lampard Retires
NEWSSPORTS February 2, 2017 NeeceeBossLady 0
Former Chelsea FC and England midfielder Frank Lampard on Thursday announced his retirement after more than two decades in football.
Lampard, 38, made his debut in 1996 at West Ham and spent most of his playing career at Chelsea, 2001-2014, finishing as their record goalscorer with 211 goals.
In his time at Stamford Bridge, Lampard won the 2012 Champions League, 2013 Europa League, three Premier Leagues and four FA Cups with the Blues. He earned 106 England caps between 1999 and 2014.
The midfielder last played at New York City in Major League Soccer where his contract expired after the 2016 season, having also featured for Manchester City in the last chapter of his career.
"After 21 incredible years, I have decided that now is the right time to finish my career as a professional footballer," Lampard said on Facebook.
"Whilst I have received a number of exciting offers to continue playing at home and abroad, at 38 I feel now is the time to begin the next chapter in my life. I'm immensely proud of the trophies I've won, of representing my country over 100 times and of scoring more than 300 career goals."
"I have many people to thank. I thank my parents for instilling in me the values of hard work, dedication and professionalism, values which I have carried with me in everything that I do. I am forever grateful for the support of my family, my wife Christine and my two daughters Luna and Isla. What you have given me off the pitch has always been my strength on it. I love you all very much. Also, my friends and my own team that have always been there for me. I would like to thank the amazing team-mates, coaches, managers and backroom staff that I was privileged to work with. I'd also like to pay tribute to the clubs that I have represented," Lampard said.
Lampard, one of just three players to score both 100 goals or more and have more than 100 assists in the Premier League, said he owed a debt of gratitude to all the clubs he played for.
But he saved the biggest thanks for Chelsea FC, where he played the bulk of his career.
"Chelsea fans gave myself and my team-mates such incredible support," he said. "Their passion and hunger drove me on personally to give my best year after year. I couldn't have done it without them."
One of the very best "box-to-box" midfielders of his generation, Lampard made a habit of arriving late and slamming in goals from outside the area, his tally of 41 goals from outside the box more than anyone in Premier League history.
Lampard said it was hard to pin down his favourite goals.
"I scored two on the day against Bolton when we won the league in 2005, I couldn't choose one over the other," he told Chelsea's website.
"They were both special because they brought the title to Chelsea after 50 years of not winning it. It meant a lot not just to me personally but to the club as a whole. After that at Chelsea the goal that broke the goalscoring record at Aston Villa.
It put me ahead of Bobby Tambling who had held the record for many years, so that was a huge emotional moment for me personally. The away fans were fantastic that day, it was a really special moment," Lampard said.
Lampard hinted that he may now move into coaching.
"I'm grateful to the FA for the opportunity to study for my coaching qualifications and I look forward to pursuing the off-field opportunities that this decision opens," he said.

2018, 2019 Toyota Yaris Prices: MSRP vs Dealer Invoice vs True Dealer Cost w/ Holdback
MSRP Invoice Price Destination Fee Holdback Dealer Cost
Toyota Yaris Prices - How Much is a Toyota Yaris?
To avoid overpaying on a new Toyota Yaris, shop prices online first. Get up front pricing before you walk into a dealership. We recommend the following free services;
• Toyota Avalon Hybrid Prices
• Toyota C-HR Prices
• Toyota Camry Hybrid Prices
• Toyota Corolla iM Prices
• Toyota Prius Prices
• Toyota Prius Prime Prices
• Toyota Yaris Prices
What's New For 2018?
For the model year, the 2018 Toyota Yaris has been given an updated look, which is exponentially sportier than the outgoing model. Also, all three trims now share the same instrument panel, whereas the L and LE previously had a different one than the line-topping SE.
Available Styles
The 2018 Toyota Yaris is available as a two- or four-door hatchback.
Available Trims
There are three different trim levels available on this year's Toyota Yaris. There is only one engine to opt from, and that is a 1.5-L 4-cylinder engine capable of generating 106 hp and 103 lb-ft of torque. This can be paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission (which comes standard on the L and LE trims) or an optional 4-speed automatic transmission (which is standard on the SE). The base L trim is, like many of Toyota's other base models, rather well-equipped. The L comes with a standard 6.1-inch LCD touchscreen display, a driver seat that is height-adjustable, and forward collision warning and lane departure warning. The mid-level trim is known as the LE, and this trim has everything you find on the L and then some. The LE adds upgraded wheels, a remote locking and unlocking system, power side mirrors, and unique and upgraded trim along the exterior of the body. Finally, sitting at the top of the line-up this year is the SE trim. This model includes much of what you will find on the LE but is only available as a four-door vehicle. The SE's list of features includes upgraded 16-inch alloy wheels, a 7-inch LCD touchscreen display, and stunning upgraded cloth interior with leather trim on the steering wheel.
Driving Impressions
Driving the 2018 Toyota Yaris is something of a mixed bag. As is the case with some of Toyota's other models this year, the Yaris struggles to get much in the way of speed. Acceleration is somewhat average for this segment, coming in at about 9.5 seconds when going from 0 to 60 mph. However, the 106 hp generated by the 1.5-L engine just does not cut it compared to some of the Yaris' competitors, causing the vehicle to feel pretty sluggish on the highway. That being said, the Yaris has sturdy and reliable brakes that have an impressive amount of fade resistance for this particular class. Also, steering is remarkably concise and provides the driver with just the right amount of feedback. Handling is, of course, quite stellar on this little vehicle can wind its way in and out of tight spots without an issue.
Fuel Economy
The Toyota Yaris might not be able to best the Honda Fit for the best EPA ratings this year, but it sure gives the Fit a good run for its money. On the Yaris SE with the automatic transmission equipped, you can get 32 mpg combined, while the manual transmission gets just slightly better at 34 mpg combined.
Overall, the 2018 Toyota Yaris has a lot to offer. While it predictably lacks accelerative abilities, the Yaris puts in an otherwise strong performance that makes this well-loaded, budget-friendly vehicle an attractive option.
How to Calculate The Dealer Cost of a Toyota Yaris
Formula for Calculating Dealer Cost:
- Example: Base Toyota Yaris invoice price + the dealer Invoice price of all the options + destination - Holdback = Total Dealer Cost.
- What is Holdback? A hidden amount that manufacturers give back to a dealer. It is a percentage of the MSRP or the Invoice price.
Total Dealer Cost - Rebate and Incentive + Taxes / Licensing Fees = True Dealer Cost. (You can get rebates and incentives here)
Note: All Toyota Yaris MSRP, invoice and dealer cost dollar figures above are approximate amounts. Prices are subject to change without notice.
A note about rebates: Most rebates are subtracted from the "on the road" figure. In most cases, you can have the rebate if you are arranging your own financing or you are paying cash. If you decide to use the manufacturer's low interest financing, you do not usually get the rebate. Ask your dealer for details.

While cleaning up our little home office the other day, I came across something that brought back some funny memories.
Back in late November of 2011, my wife and I were doing our annual post Thanksgiving tradition of tracking down Christmas Trees with the in-laws. It's a fun tradition, and recently it's been rather easy since one of the friends of the family works for a company that owns large tracts of forest land.
So, on this particular morning, we made our way up to a spot about 50 minutes East of town. As usual, the tree cutting was quick, and we spent the rest of the day eating lunch, and watching the dogs and kids run around. After lunch, we began off back down the dirt road to the highway, and back home.
A couple minutes after passing through the gate, I saw a small, beat up, old pickup truck. It had a shell on it, and was loaded with stuff. Strange… it certainly didn't look like someone who should be up here, let alone would be cutting a tree. Plus, there was a gate a mile or so ahead, so this guys would just have to turn around since he didn't look like he belonged on the private land.
As we approached the truck, I noticed a hand sticking out the window waving at us. I could now see inside the rig, and it appears to be an older man driving, with an older lady in the passenger side.
I then noticed that he stopped, so I did the same. I waved, and said "Hi" after I rolled down my window.
Hello, how are you doing today?
Fine, how's it going?
Good, please read this.
(hands me a stack of rolled up papers)
Have a good day!
And he drove off. I quickly glanced at the first page and chuckled, oh wow, this looks like conspiracy theory nut job goodness I thought! It wasn't until I got home later that day that I got a better look at the nuttiness. Have a look at the attached for a good chuckle.
The highlights?
– "Caliban". (California brothers of the Taliban)
– Numerous typos and spelling errors. (some corrected)
– "Threatening driving and maneuvering."
– "Under Siege."

'I Love My Tiranga' is an initiative started by Mumbai resident Khalid Qureshi to promote the Indian Tricolor Flag. He decided to run from Mumbai to New Delhi, a distance of over 1,900 km, carrying the Tiranga, to encourage, inspire and enthuse every Indian (as well as religious and educational institutions), to love the Tiranga, and proudly display it every day.
Khalid Qureshi is a Senior Ticket Checker at Western Railways. He has been the highest revenue earner in his department for 6 years. His father is also a retired Divisional Chief Ticket Inspector and has 2 other brothers working as Ticket Checker and another brother is a Commercial Clerk working in Western Railways. He stays with his family including wife, children, brothers and their family and parents. One day while he was discussing his and his family's achievements and trophies at home, he realized that they had everything at home except a Tiranga. Two years ago, Khalid, conceived a bold vision, to popularize a cause very dear to his heart - Tiranga.
Why Tiranga at Home?
Khalid's question to all Indians is "Why is it that our flag is unfurled only when we win at cricket, or on national days, or during anti-corruption rallies? We should be proud to display it every day and not just wait for an occasion! We have all the luxuries and necessities at home but not Tiranga"
His initiative 'I Love My Tiranga' has been started with a mission to have a 'Tiranga in Every Home'.
As a representation of love and respect for our country, Indian Flag can be hoisted in every house. Tiranga stands for our Indian Culture, Charms, Truth, and Simplicity of our Country, Power, Unity and Energy. These values have to be inculcated in every child, youth and individual in India. Keeping Tiranga at home will build in character of every Indian.
Journey so far…..
Khalid started his run on 26th January, 2012 carrying the flag handed over to him by his parents at Gateway of India. On this day he visited Haji Ali, Mahim Church, Sanyas Ashram and Guruwara (Four Bunglow) and presented flags and received blessings. He halted at Andheri. Next day, he reached Borivli and was received by more than 50 senior citizens from Puspa Maa Foundation at Veer Savarkar Park. He was also blessed by other 120 senior citizens (IC Colony) who pledged to keep Tiranga at home. He started from Borivli on 28th January to reach Vasai. On 29th January, 9 cyclist from Borivli and 20 bikers from Vasai joined Khalid in the run. In the evening, he reached Manor for night halt. Next day (30th January), he reached Dahanu.
Mission Tiranga in Every Home
This initiative has been supported by many individuals and groups. He has also received support from Future Group. His Official Health, Fitness, Diet and Training Partner is Dr. Sheel from Fitness Factor Academy of Fitness Training.
Join Khalid to promote 'Tiranga in Every Home'.

Meetings. Hurry-up-and-wait projects. Kids who have to go to school and practice and a litany of other functions that take precedence over yours because you're a good father. Home and office life can weigh down on a man's efforts to get to the gym.
Solution? Make the gym come to you, by building one in your basement.
But since this is your home we're talking about — and not some monochrome, cookie-cutter den of sweat and sanitary wipes — we recommend aiming a little high-minded with your fitness accoutrements.
Luckily, there are a growing number of companies that focus on workout equipment that is every bit as handsome as it is functional.
Here are some of our favorite museum-quality pieces.
The gentlemanly boxing setup
Boxing will tone your arms while working on your balance and core. It's also a helluva stress reliever. Go vintage, though, with this killer speed bag and a pair of gloves that look great hanging on a wall mount. They'll also let your daughter's boyfriends know that you mean bidness.
Magical wheel-ism
You only need 10-20 minutes to get a good cardio workout. Rather than braving the wilds, hop on the Cicolette, a big wheel-inspired bike so attractive it's on display at the Italian Design Museum. The gel seat is comfy, and there's a place to put your tablet so you can read while peddling.
Just what the doctor ordered
Medicine balls are great for compound movements — i.e., those that require squatting and rising over and over. Leather Head makes them like they used to, with handsome weathered leather and contrasting laces.
Kettlebell or centerpiece?
A kettlebell's funky shape is why it's a great workout: the unwieldy quality requires you to use your core to balance while lifting them. Team Do W custom-makes its marble kettlebells so in your preferred weight — not that you need to use it. Set it on the mantle and your guests will mistake it for a Roman artifact.
Have a toss
If you work on a campus, hit the grounds with this leather football by Shinola. Put it on your desk when it's not in use. Compliments will ensue.
Tread dapperly
Treadmills are typically a sight for sore eyes (and thighs). But the TechnoGym treadmill sports a polished, chromed-out look. It's also a great coach: connected to the proprietary interval app and it'll walk you through 90 seconds at walking speed followed by 30 seconds of a dead-on-sprint.
Rowing is cardio meets compound movements, and will get the ticker going while also strengthening your back. Water Rower makes their rowing machines in walnut and pine combined with a waterflywheel that's quite pleasing on the eyes. It's also easy as pie to store. Just tilt it upright and wheel to a wall.
Smart bells
There's a reason dumbells have been the gold standard in weighlifting since Ancient Greek tiems: they get you toned, and fast. HOCK's Diskus Series weds gleaming stainless steel weights with walnut handles and a walnut racking tower. It's a good look.
Now get moving, fella.

The Specification Must Support Claim Scope
Yesterday, the Federal Circuit delivered the attached precedential decision in ScriptPro LLC v. Innovation Associates, dkt. 2015-1565 (Fed. Cir. August, 15, 2016). Central to this decision is whether a claim is invalid if it is broader than the embodiments described in the specification.
ScriptPro's claims were directed to a device called a "collating unit" and an automatic dispensing system (ADS) used to store prescription containers, after a patient's medication has been stored in the containers. The patent specification described the preference of storing prescription containers by patient-identifying information and slot availability (the storage area having "slots" for storing the prescription containers). The claims, however, did not require this…

After having my own trouble setting up Ubuntu and seeing other people who do not either have money or know how to get parralels I decided to just post about how to setup Ubuntu 10.10. Note this is for burning on a CD and not using a USB cable. Follow the below instructions to setup Ubuntu 10.10:
1. Go to the "Launch Disk Utility" (Under Applications ,Utilities ,Disk Utility)
2. Insert your blank CD-R/DVD-R.
3. Drag and drop your .iso file to the left pane in Disk Utility. Now both the blank disc and the .iso should be listed.
4. Select the .iso file, and click on the 'Burn' button in the toolbar.
5. Ensure that the 'Verify burned data' checkbox is ticked (you may need to click on the disclosure triangle to see the checkbox). It will not properly burn if you do not check this.
6. Click 'Burn'. The data will be burned and verified. Give it some time to burn, for some I have heard it burns in a few minutes, others it may take awhile. Make sure you are running as few apps as possible.
Now once your are done burning the CD:
1. Put the Ubuntu CD into the CD/DVD-drive and restart your computer. You should see a welcome screen prompting you to choose your language and giving you the option to install Ubuntu or try it from the CD.
If you don't get this menu, read the booting From the CD guide for more information on the Ubuntu website.
2. You should see a welcome screen prompting you to choose your language and giving you the option to install Ubuntu or try it from the CD.
3. Prepare to install Ubuntu: We recommend you plug your computer into a power source for this stage. You should also make sure you have enough space on your computer to install Ubuntu. We advise you to stay connected to the Internet so you can get the latest updates while you install Ubuntu. If you're having problems connecting to the Internet, use the menu in the top-right hand corner to select a network.
4. Allocate drive space: Use the checkboxes to choose whether you'd like to Install Ubuntu alongside another operating system, delete your existing operating system and replace it with Ubuntu[/b(be careful here if you choose the wrong option you may lose your current operating system), or – if you're an advanced user – choose the amount of space you would like to allocate to Ubuntu.
5. Begin the installation: Depending on your previous selections, you can now verify that you have chosen the way in which you would like to install Ubuntu. The installation process will begin when you click the 'Install Now' button.
6.Select your location and click 'Forward' to proceed.
7. Select your preferred keyboard layout.
8.Enter your login and password.
9. Restart Mac and your ready to use Ubuntu
[b]Windows or Bootcamp on mac:
95 / 98 / ME / 2000 / XP / Server 2003 / Vista: Infra Recorder
1. Download and install Infra Recorder, a free and open-source image-burning program.
2. Insert a blank CD in the drive and select Do nothing or Cancel if an autorun dialog box pops up.
3. Open Infra Recorder and click the 'Write Image' button in the main screen.
* Alternatively you can select the 'Actions' menu, then 'Burn image'.
4. Select the Ubuntu CD image file you want to use, then click 'Open'.
5. In the dialog box, click 'OK'.
XP / Server 2003 / Vista: ISO Recorder
1. Download and install the appropriate version of ISO Recorder.
2. Insert an unformatted DVD into your burner. (Note: You can only burn DVDs with this tool from Vista.)
3. Open Windows Explorer, find your ISO file, right-click and choose 'Next'.
Windows 7
1. Right-click on an ISO image and choose 'Burn disc image'.
1. Select a disk burner (drive) and choose 'Burn'. If you check 'Verify disc after burning', it will confirm that the ISO image has been burned correctly.
Windows has a much more simpler setup than mac. You dont even have to burn a CD if you dont want to. You can reuest a CD from shipit here: https://shipit.ubuntu.com/
You can download it directly from the internet and run it here: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/...staller
Then you follow the exact same installation procedures as the Mac ones. And you are ready to play.
If a moderator could stickie this it could save people the time I spent getting help from people on linuxIRC, and save mac users money from not buying paralels
Hope this solves any problems with the installation of Ubuntu 10.10.[/i]

From Acsion Industries
The Lac du Bonnet & District Charitable Foundation and Acsion Industries are please to announce a new corporate partnership program for Acsion's current and past employees and contractors. The "Thank-you Lac du Bonnet" program sees Acsion match the donations made to the foundation from their employees and contractors over the next five years, to a total of $25,000. Acsion has also set-up a payroll deduction plan to make it easy for staff to donate.
"Lac du Bonnet has been a great home for many of Acsion's employees and contractors", said Chris Saunders, President of Acsion. "Many of our staff have lived and worked here for decades. This new partnership with the Lac du Bonnet Foundation allows us to say thank-you to the town in a significant, on-going way".
"The Foundation welcomes Acsion to our family of corporate partners", added Maurice Rutherford, Chairman of the foundation. Their generosity will help us raise as much as $50,000 to support the great charities in our town. This is a wonderful gift for the foundation and we hope that their "Thank-you Lac du Bonnet" program can become a model for other local companies as we work together to grow the foundation".
The funds generated from the program will be added to the endowment funds of the foundation. The revenues generated from these investments will be donated annually to worthy charities in and around Lac du Bonnet. For the complete news release: Acsion Partners with LdB Foundation (.pdf).

1. What work did you need done?
We had a complete overhaul of heating system and a migration to natural gas heating for the main home while retaining oil fired for outhouse/garage.
2. Why did you choose AGS Heating?
We had tried other companies but decided that AGS had our interest at heart and this proved to be the case. The friendly, courteous and professional attitude of the "Gary's" was second to none.
3. How was the work carried out and what do you think of the end result?
AGS took control of everything including signing us up to the gas provider. They arrived when they said, worked extraordinarily hard and finished on time. A high quality job with regular follow-.up afterwords to make sure we were still satisfied.
4. What would you say to people considering using AGS Heating?
Don't hesitate to reserve AGS. They will not let you down.
