My friend and I were walking toward the subway, relieved to be out of school, when we heard a voice behind us. "You," the voice said. It was deep and authoritative.
I turned to see a man dressed in a light blue shirt and dark pants. "Security officer," I thought. I was ready to ignore him -- after all, I wasn't in school anymore. Then I noticed the gun at his waist. He was a police officer.
Walking toward us, he signaled to my friend. "Let me see your ID." My friend handed the card over to the officer. Turning it over in his hand, the officer looked at him, his eyes hidden behind shades. "Go to the dean's office to get this back," he said. He turned and walked away.
It was the second time that week that one of my friends had given their school ID to a police officer only to be told they would have to get it back at school the next day. This constitutes a major inconvenience, since students need their IDs to get into their school, Brooklyn Technical High School. To get the ID back, they have to go through another entrance and convince the security agents that they are students by jumping through hoops such as showing a class schedule and then answering questions to prove its theirs. This can take around 20 minutes -- just to get in the school.
More commonly, police will tell Brooklyn Tech students sitting on the steps of nearby apartment buildings, standing in the doorways of corner stores or hanging out on crowded sidewalks to go home.
Students can no longer hang out outside the school or even in the area. The police do not allow it. What was once a mass of chatting teens spread over several blocks has become a steady line of pedestrians, headed to the subway. And the situation is not limited to Brooklyn Tech.
No Loitering Allowed
When teens at Youth Communication, a nonprofit youth media organization, surveyed students at high schools around the city, they found that being reprimanded by police has become a normal part of teenage life in New York. Police officers have started clamping down on teens hanging out where, since time immemorial, they have always hung out: around their schools.
Of the 19 students surveyed from throughout the five boroughs, only four said that their schools and the local police allowed them to stay outside their school after classes ended. Many others responded as though the very idea was foolish. "Of course, no," gawked Yaki Lin, 17, a student at Flushing International High School in Queens.
The teens said that both school security agents and the police regularly told them to "move along." Some said that police even escorted students to the next block. This approach is not limited to so-called dangerous schools – ones cited by the state for high incidents of crime or required by the Department of Education to use metal detectors to scan all students entering the building.
New York City has the authority to institute this policy at any public school due to a section of the New York Penal Law, which says that a person is guilty of loitering when he or she "loiters or remains in or about school grounds, a college or university or grounds or a children's overnight camp."
Protecting Public Safety
Last February, Lee McCaskill, who was then principal at Brooklyn Tech, told the student body that the police clampdown on loitering near the school was prompted by safety concerns. Students from Tech were being robbed by outsiders and getting involved in fights, he explained in an announcement on the school's Web site. "We are working very closely with the 88th precinct and other law enforcement officials to identify those involved in acts such as rowdiness, fighting, assault and even robbery," the announcement read. It went on to ask the students to "whenever possible, travel in groups and leave" in a timely manner.
" Students not involved in after-school activities should leave the school area immediately. Do not hang out near the subway, on our neighbor's property or other inappropriate areas. The officers of the 88th precinct may also ask you to move swiftly to your destination," it continued,
A recent call to the New York City Police Department confirmed that the police presence at Tech was a response to fights and robberies in the neighborhood.
Students surveyed at other schools revealed that complaints from people who live near the school spurred police to approach students and tell them to find somewhere else to socialize.
" We can't stay next to the building because people in the neighboring apartment buildings complained to the school over noise," said Ilya Arbit, 17, from Edward R. Murrow High Schoolin Brooklyn.
How to Hang Out
Many students find the policy inconvenient, especially if they live far from the school or want to wait for friends. "The police presence forced us to rush our after-school plans," said Lionel Cox, 19, a former student at Tech, which draws students from all over the city. "We weren't allowed to wait for friends who hadn't left school yet or who were still in stores."
Some of the teens surveyed have learned to outwit the police by walking, instead of standing, in front of the school building. As long as they do not stop in any one spot, the logic goes, they will not attract police attention. Others simply move to a block where police are less likely to go.
Many more teens end up spending money in local stores or businesses near their schools -- pizza parlors, corner stores, billiard halls or bowling alleys - just so they have a place to hang out with friends after classes end. And as they hang out in these establishments, the teens say, they buy and eat junk food. As private property, stores are not covered by the loitering laws.
A few especially productive students have found that after-school clubs, such as debate teams and the Model UN, provide a good way to socialize with classmates after school, far from the watchful eyes of the NYPD. But over all, when it comes to facing police officers or extracurricular activities, most teens choose the police.

|1860 U.S. Federal Census, Schedule 2
This Schedule is almost identical to the one I posted previously, so rather than a long rambling about it all, I will direct you to the former post here for the details.
There were only 2 federal censuses that had the Slave Schedule. Emancipation was on it's way, although I'm sure it still seem so far away to those living through 1860.
The only difference on this Schedule 2 from the last (aside from the year) is the tally section at the bottom of the sheet.
As always, if you have any difficulties with the form (downloading, inputting, saving, etc) just let me know and we'll figure out how to fix it. So far, there haven't been any issues since the very first census form. Let's hope my luck holds out! The forms still appear to be 3 pages long when viewed through Google Docs, but rest assured that when you download it, it will be one page!
Next week we move on to one of the first censuses that we genealogists/family historians love...the 1870 U.S. Federal Census. Finally, lots more info to make our little hearts happy!
Until next time, have fun tending those roots!

Well these must be for me as they are for sandy soil and that's all we have in Florida!!
Did the grow for you?
Hi, Lynnde. As a lifelong Florida gardener, I can sympathize. I have learned that many "full sun" plants fail here due to our long hot season. I plant almost everything in morning sun only or limited periods of midday sun. Also, use good bagged 'garden soil' or compost to add more substance to your sandy soil. Again due to the intense heat, it's imperative that we get our soil to hold more water for longer periods of time. Don't give up!
I am in CT and they pop up every where no matter the soil…lol
Hummingbirds LOVE them
In MN. My all time favorite and the queen of my garden. Used to find the seeds for white but have been unable find them the last few yrs.
One of my favorites for attracting hummingbirds and butterflies. Even though we have rich loam soil in RI, I can grow these in pots and save the seeds for the following year.
I'll have to look out for this plant at the nursery. Would be perfect for the dry desert soil here in Mildura Australia and it's my favourite colour and will go with all the other purple plants I'll have in the garden shortly and the Jacarandas that line the street.
received rose i ordered today. real nice one so worth what i paid for a change. ive discovered ordering plants etc from everyday individuals seem to be 10 times more likely to make it than ones ive ordered from garden sites. im soooo over them. wasted alot of money and time with them. believe ive learned a lesson. anyway planted in sandy soil next to my creek. i think shes gonna really set off my yard. i cant wait!!!!! plus birds and butterflies makes it all worth it. definite plus. probably wont et blooms this year and pray no polar vortex gets it……
I tried starting lavender from seed in small pots. It's been six months and I only have two plants that made it. And they are only an inch tall. What am I doing wrong ?

jasonhwells necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web codificada y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 33 diseños de 11 diseñadores freelance.
We need a one-page website redesign. Layout example provided. PNG, PSD layouts "ok" until winner is declared.
Accepted File Formats:
I have a layout designed for a new look & feel of our website. This layout is good, but I need the red colors moved to more of blues found in our logo we have on our existing site: http://www.integritas-group.com.
We need the rounded box areas turned into html code and images used to keep the same look and feel (such as rounded corners, etc.) Any images with text in them needs to put inside a table and the text needs to written in HTML with the table having the image as a background, because we have UTF-8 language conversion in our system that translates a block of code into the actual word based on a particular language, therefore a word set into an image will not be translatable by our system.
We need to html code from this layout, because we need to be able to stretch some of these rounded box areas and move them around for the multiple pages in our website (Home, Wealth, Health, Training, Community, etc.) So, really this is only design of a one page website for the designer giving our programming crew the ability to adjust the layout based on the data contained in the pages.
We are open to PNG, PSD layouts BEFORE html coding is done, because we understand that may be easier for a designer to do until we pick the winner.

Late-night show skewers Boehner, Obama.
Hey everybody: calm down. House Speaker John Boehner's failure last night to get enough votes to pass Plan B doesn't necessarily spell doom for a fiscal cliff deal, as my colleague Chris Frates explains .
One point worth highlighting: Boehner's whip counters now have a pretty good idea of how many in the conference would go for some kind of compromise.
But hey, it's Dec. 21, 2012, and perhaps the Mayans were right, so here's another scenario as laid out by a Saturday Night Live skit from a couple weeks ago: President Obama gives on tax rates because, well, he just feels bad for the guy. Check out this cold open skit , in which Obama caves because Boehner is being bullied by House Republicans: no one will sit with him at lunch; they put rubber snakes in his desk; they invite him to a party but it turns out to be a vacant warehouse.
Now, last night's events do raise some questions over the fate of Boehner's speakership. House Budget Committee ranking member Chris Van Hollen said last night that it was "very embarrasing" for the speaker. But Republican Rep. Steven LaTourette , who is close to Boehner, said that last night's failure hurting Boehner's speakership is, "like saying the superintendent of an insane asylum should be discharged because he couldn't control the crazy people. I mean that's nuts."

WASHINGTON (March 27, 2013) -- The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) announced today that Roland S. Martin, nationally syndicated columnist, television host, and radio and television commentator, is to receive the organization's Journalist of the Year award. It is one of NABJ's most coveted honors celebrating the accomplishments of black journalists and those who support blacks in the media. Martin was selected for the award by NABJ's Board of Directors.Martin currently is host and managing editor of TV One's Washington Watch with Roland Martin, and a senior analyst for The Tom Joyner Morning Show. He is also a nationally syndicated columnist with Creators Syndicate and a contributor to CNN."Roland Martin has had an enviable career as a multimedia journalist, becoming a respected and trusted voice in print, on air and online," said NABJ President Gregory Lee, Jr. "He is unapologetic about his quest to provide well-rounded coverage of the African-American community, and to provide unique insights to diverse audiences across the many platforms on which he is asked to contribute on a regular basis." Martin will be honored with others at the association's Salute to Excellence Gala on August 3, 2013, during NABJ's 38th Annual Convention and Career Fair in Orlando."I am enormously thankful and humbled that NABJ has bestowed this amazing honor on me for my work as a fearless voice in advocating the critical issues facing voters in the 2012 election, but especially as they relate to African Americans," said Martin. "I hope this honor serves as a lesson to any young or veteran journalist that Black media platforms are just as essential and important to us today as they have always been. Before CNN, TV One offered me a TV platform for my commentaries, as well my own show. After CNN, TV One and Tom Joyner, are still there. It pleases me greatly to be at a place where our voices and images are the norm, and not the exception. I'm enormously thankful for the opportunity."Those who nominated Martin noted his important coverage of voter suppression, perhaps the biggest story of the 2012 presidential election."No other African-American journalist and member of NABJ brought more news and analysis to black communities about the most important story of 2012 than Roland Martin," said Vanessa Williams, former NABJ President and an editor at The Washington Post. "As managing editor and host of Washington Watch on TV One, Roland consistently offered journalism that reflected the hopes and fears of many African American voters as they anxiously watched to see whether Barack Obama would win a second term as president of the United States."Earlier in his career, Martin was a radio talk show host for WVON-AM in Chicago. He is the former executive editor and general manager of The Chicago Defender, one of the nation's oldest black newspapers. He was the founding news editor for Savoy Magazine, and the founding editor of BlackAmericaWeb.com.A published author, he has written three books: "Listening to the Spirit Within: 50 Perspectives on Faith," "Speak, Brother! A Black Man's View of America," and "The First: President Barack Obama's Road to the White House as originally reported by Roland S. Martin."A lifetime member of the National Association of Black Journalists, Martin served as the organization's first national student representative, and as national secretary of the board from 2009 until 2011.Martin is a graduate of Texas A&M University and Louisiana Baptist University. He is married to the Rev. Jacquie Hood Martin. The couple resides in Washington, D.C.An
advocacy group established in 1975 in Washington, D.C., NABJ is the
largest organization for journalists of color in the nation, and
provides career development as well as educational and other support to
its members worldwide. For more information, please visit www.nabj.org.

Ahmadi students, teacher expelled from Pak schools
Last Updated: Saturday, October 08, 2011, 12:53
Islamabad: Ten students, including seven girls, and a woman teacher belonging to the minority Ahmadi sect have been expelled from two schools in Pakistan's Punjab province amid a hate campaign against the community, a media report said on Saturday.
They were expelled from Chenab Public School and Muslim Public School at Dharanwali in Hafizabad.
A public meeting held recently in Dharanwali had spread hatred against Ahmadis, Jamaat Ahmadiyya Pakistan spokesman Saleemuddin said.
The expulsions came in the aftermath of intolerance that some religious preachers were bent on evoking among local residents, Saleemuddin told 'The Express Tribune' daily.
"They went so far as to say that they would never allow for an Ahmadi to be buried in their graveyard, let alone allow an Ahmadi to study in a school with their children," Saleemuddin alleged.
Soon after the hate speeches, 10 Ahmadi students and the teacher were expelled from the schools.
Khalil Ahmad, whose three daughters were among the expelled students, said: "It is extremely unfortunate that my daughters are being deprived of the most basic and fundamental human right such as education…all because of religious intolerance."
He said: "I have no alternative to ensure that their education continues."
He questioned why authorities were not implementing Constitutional provisions that ensure equal rights for all.
"I've never seen Christians and students belonging to other religions ever having to deal with such restrictions," he said.
Muslim Public School principal Yasir Abbas said he had "personally opposed the expulsion on the basis of faith".
He said: "This is not my decision… the entire village unanimously pressed me to expel all Ahmadis from the school, or else they would forcibly shut the school down."
The Punjab government's initiative allowing people to register for schools online makes it mandatory to disclose their religion, including whether they are Muslim or non-Muslim.
"This was never the case previously. It's very simply a calculated move to subject the Ahmadiyya community to discrimination and deprive them of their right to education," Saleemuddin alleged.
Ahmadis do not refer to themselves as "non-Muslim", but that does not stop them from being kept away from educational institutions.
For the first time ever, authorities have introduced a system whereby religion is displayed on roll number slips.
"It's like they're making a conscious effort to mentally torture us," Saleemuddin said.
Dozens of members of the Ahmadi sect have been killed in terror attacks in the past two years.

DIY: No-sew Beach Cover + How to Use a Pareo/Sarong

thanks for your ideas...i have a beach cover up and intend on using it as the material for my cover up..also..the brown was just fine..i intend on using some kind of black...ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm all about reusing old fabric! I agree with you- I think dark neutrals are actually unexpected and interesting for the beach. Most of my cover ups are black... but people can be so mean on the internet! It makes blogging interesting ;)Delete

Awesome! Just made one,so easy. ThanksReplyDeleteReplies
That's great! i'd love to see it if you ever take a pic :)Delete

Did you ever the one with the beaded straps? I love how creative you are!!!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! Not yet... my FB readers requested a third version, but I haven't found nice fabric yet. I'll bead those straps :) The idea is the same though, just slip a few beads on to the straps before tying them. Also, don't use a full beaded strap or it won't stay up ;)Delete
If you use wire(thin/sturdy, or even twist/braid the wire to make it strong) you can thread beads onto that and then have what looks like just. Beaded strap! Doesn't have any give, but if measured right, it doesn't need it :-)Delete
Katie- i LOVE that! I found however that with this particular design, a full beaded strap doesn't stay up :/ it's best to go with fabric + half-bead it.Delete

Do you think there would be any issues with the no sew version minus the Fray Check? I'm using a knit jersey fabric...ReplyDeleteReplies
a knit jersey *really* shouldn't fray. Try tearing off a little piece and seeing how it reacts. I've never had a problem with jersey fraying in the past :)Delete

I'm not picturing how you put the black & white one together? I really like the look of the long one ... but just can't figure it out?! I love these!ReplyDeleteReplies
It was super easy- here we go! I just used a regular sarong/pareo (if you send me your email, i'll send you a link to the cheap-o site to buy them). In the two top corners (long, not short edge) I cut out an arm-sized hole. Start with the pareo behind you, holding the two corners that have arm holes. Take the left corner and slip it over your right arm. Slip your left arm into the right corner :) Does that help? If not let me know! firstname.lastname@example.com
Hello, My name is Terry (T-Girl Travels) I would like to have the link for the cheap o sarongs if you don't mind sharing! Traveling a lot, I enjoy the sarong mode of dress, I am always looking for new ideas, and inexpensive sarongs. I am in Costa Rica currently.Delete
Thank you,

My niece FB me with your beach coverup and asked if her favorite (me) aunt would make her one. Next thing I knew my others nieces were FB me to make them one, also. I noticed that you mentioned you had several you were working on. Would you share them with me? I would love to continue being the favorite aunt by making the girls (7) each one.ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh my goodness! 7 nieces! That's quite a few. I have the designs ready for the other versions, but I haven't gotten brightly colored jersey to complete them yet. I've taken a lot of flack for using brown for my first version- so I'm trying to hold out. Hopefully I can get some jersey this weekend and have them up next week :)Delete
My local fabric store didn't carry sarong fabric(?). Where do you recommend that I look for some?ReplyDeleteReplies

So, I just found you on Pinterest, and I have to say this is amazing. I am very, very, incredibly impressed. Thank you so much, so much, for sharing your knowledge with the world. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
haha, it was suppperrr easy- but thank you :) You're very kind! I hope you stick around <3Delete

Ok so im doing something wrong its not laying right could it be cause my arm cut outs are to big? Thank you thank you for sharing this hoppfully blondy here can get it right.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hey Blondy! Send me pics at email@example.com and i'll see what's going on (of you wearing it as well as of it just laying flat). Sometimes it's a matter of the straps being too long, or you may just need to play with it while wearing it.Delete
Hi! Love all your sarong options - You've inspired me to buy a sarong for my class trip this summer! Just wondering, what are the measurements of your sarong? Do you have any tips for getting the right size proportionate to your body?ReplyDelete
I am 5'4 ish and pretty skinny.
Hmm... well I just got mine from 1worldsarong on amazon.com and hadn't really thought about sizes. I'm about your height and weight (5'5'' and skinmy-sh :)) though and my yellow sarong that is pictured is 61" by 38" :)Delete
though actually- if it is too long for you, you can always fold over the top before beginning :)Delete
Thank you! :)Delete

Med Student Diagnoses Pretend Patient with Real Deadly Disease
An actor who was hired by the University of Virginia to play a patient so he could be "diagnosed" by medical students turned out to actually have the deadly condition he was pretending to have.
Jim Malloy was tasked with presenting the symptoms for an abdominal aortic aneurysm — "a condition in which a small section of the lower aorta begins to balloon," according to a UVA press release.
The condition often goes undetected and can quickly become fatal if the aneurysm bursts.
Medical student Ryan Jones was examining Malloy when noticed that the actor actually seemed to have an abdominal aortic aneurysm — for real.
"I said, 'I think I found an aneurism,'" Jones told WDBJ, "and he played along because that's his job and so I'm like 'Does he actually know he has this?'"
"He thought I might have been a ringer that was planted in there to test him, and I had no symptoms," Malloy told CBS News. "He thought I was a plant with the real situation."
The physician in charge of the practice session recommended to Malloy that he see a cardiologist, and, sure enough, Jones' diagnosis proved correct.
Malloy underwent surgery and is now back to full health.
"Jim's life was saved by a UVA medical student, no doubt about it," Malloy's wife Louise is quoted as saying.
"I was surprised to learn what had happened," said Jones. "It feels great to know that I made a difference."
This is Jones last year of medical school. He is currently in the process of interviewing for a slot in a residency program with an eye toward ultimately becoming a radiation oncologist.

Sobs! This was the first new year I was spending without her in a different city. And I could hear sobs at the other side of the phone too. From my first cry to the latest one, she always cries with me. And just so that tears don't mark the beginning of my new year, she started making some lame jokes to which I started laughing and her smile broadened. When I was a child, my mother always told me that "Mothers are the bravest yet the most fearful creatures alive." and now I tell her that, mothers are the advanced version of almighty who are supposed to adapt for the corrupt environment they are living in. Irrespective of all the wonders in the world, she is the first wonder of my universe. How much I wonder that even though I spend the least time with her, she knows the most about me.
Not only a part of her genetic material, a part of her soul lies within us, which insists on making us a better person. That part of her soul, makes us hesitant to commit wrongs and then makes us feel guilty about it. Mothers, are truly blessed beings. The most powerful yet most humble and selfless ones! And no matter what you become in life, you still are a seedling she nurtured. She will always be above all. Though, we don't tell our mothers this, but they deserve to know that we love them and we love them the most!
Okay, so here is this poem by one of my favorite bloggers and one of my most favorite human beings Daljit who wrote it almost after few moments of me pestering him. And I wrote this post after days of him reminding me. So, a big thanks to you dear. And I hope we keep pestering each other for writing, and writing better.
She's not the Rose,
But her love make it flower,
She's not the roots,
But her strength hold generations,
She's not the star,
But emits the ray of hope,
She is the epitome of sacrifices,
But she doesn't expect anything in return,
She is God's best creation,
But she's not earthly,
God lives in her,
But she's not his house,
She's a mother,
The world will die without…
Happy new year to everyone! Stay blessed, stay happy and keep your mother happy. ❤

This new image from Hubble of the massive galaxy cluster Abell 1689 shows the phenomenon of gravitational lensing with unprecedented clarity. This cluster acts like a cosmic lens, magnifying the light from objects lying behind it and making it possible for astronomers to explore incredibly distant regions of space. As well as being packed with galaxies, Abell 1689 has been found to host a huge population of globular clusters.
While our galaxy, the Milky Way, is only home to around 150 of these old clumps of stars, Hubble astronomers estimate that this galaxy cluster could possibly contain over 160,000 globulars overall, an unprecedented number.
This image is peppered with glowing golden elliptical galaxies, bright stars, and distant, ethereal spiral galaxies. Also visible are a number of blue streaks, circling and arcing around the fuzzy galaxies in the center of the image.
These streaks are the tell-tale signs of a cosmic phenomenon known as gravitational lensing. Abell 1689 is so massive that it actually bends and warps the space around it, affecting how light from objects behind the cluster travels through space. These streaks are distorted forms of galaxies that lie behind Abell 1689. While the galaxy cluster is just over 2 billion light-years away, the galaxies being lensed are over 13 billion light-years distant.
Galaxy clusters like Abell 1689 exploit the magnifying powers of massive gravitational lenses to see even further into the distant Universe.
Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys snapped these images from June 12 to 21, 2002, and between
May 29 and July 8, 2010.

Q&A with the BBABy Cary Estes
A native of Belgium, Steven Ceulemans is vice president for innovation and technology for the Birmingham Business Alliance (BBA), the region's leading economic development and business advocacy organization. He holds master's degrees in international business and biochemistry and molecular biology. Among his responsibilities at the BBA is to work with the School of Medicine and the rest of UAB to generate economic growth in the Birmingham region through entrepreneurialism and promotion of the region's "innovation ecosystem."
How do the BBA and UAB work together? We want to help make it easier for inventors to become innovators and become engaged as job creators. My job is to help facilitate technology innovation development in Birmingham, and UAB is a key part of that. We focus specific resources on supporting the relationship between UAB and the business community.
What is an example of your collaboration with UAB? One of the projects under way is called Invention2Innovation, which started in August. It's a collaborative program between the BBA and a number of UAB groups to identify technology with high potential for commercialization and growth. So we're scouting technologies, and then we're building entrepreneurial teams around those technologies in partnership with the UAB School of Business. The goal for the BBA is to match each team with industry mentors on a technology-specific basis. We want to find an entrepreneurial quarterback, a technology expert, and an experienced executive to help support them.
Why is this important? Early on in a company, you have a limited number of people who can directly take care of all of the responsibilities to help move the company forward. It's almost inevitable that you're going to have gaps. To be able to bring in advisors, mentors, and coaches to help these inventors network in the business community and find the resources to get what they need is of tremendous value.
What is the end goal of these efforts? There is real value in the process of engaging inventors and in supporting and enabling them as technology innovators. It adds value to the university research to reach society in the form of new products and services, which in turn can foster enterprises to grow and be successful. The work we're doing directly helps UAB grow and be successful, because it makes them more competitive in recruiting and hiring the smartest people. We want to continue to build and grow the innovation ecosystem. In the process, we can grow a cluster of dozens and maybe even hundreds of people with a skill set that lends itself toward technology entrepreneurship. Doing this is a long-term effort. You're not going to generate companies with hundreds of millions in revenue overnight. But as an indicator of the early value of the process, I think it's been very promising.

POLICE in Leeds seized what were formerly known as legal highs during a visit to a 'head shop' just hours after a wide range of substances were outlawed.
Officers seized 94 cannisters of nitrous oxide - commonly known as laughing gas - during a visit to the High Rollaz shop on Compton Road, Harehills, this morning.
Two men were also cautioned for possession of cannabis.
Suppliers of so-called legal highs that mimic the effects of controlled drugs like cocaine cannabis and ecstasy, will now face up to seven years in prison after the substance was outlawed at midnight.
The blanket ban on previously legal highs now criminalises the production, distribution, sale and supply of the new psychoactive substances - or designer drugs.
Detective Chief Inspector Warren Stevenson of West Yorkshire Police, said: "Psychoactive substances mimic the effect of controlled drugs and are not safe to take.
"They are rather unhelpfully often referred to as 'legal highs' which leads people to think that if they are legal, they must also be safe.
"This couldn't be further from the truth, and sadly we have incidents where people have ended up seriously ill in hospital, and also some deaths following on from people taking these substances.
"We are utilising a number of methods, along with our partners to educate both users and suppliers in an effort to avoid retailers falling foul of the new law and at the same time making West Yorkshire a safer place to be including making people feel safer within West Yorkshire communities."
One man working at the High Rollaz shop, who did not want to be named, said: "They have forced it on to the street...At one point it had to come in a packet with a sticker on the back explaining what it was and what to do with it and now it's just going to come in little wraps on the street.
"You don't even know what people are going to be selling. You will probably find it turns out worse.
"There will be more muggings and stabbings because now it's behind shops and it's in ginnels and it's down the side of people's houses."
Detective Chief Inspector Stevenson said: "The change in legislation affects all retailers, and guidance has already, and will continue to be issued nationally and locally to those thought to be intentionally, and unknowingly selling psychoactive substances.
"Certain items are exempt from the act, however it will be an offence to supply, or offer to supply psychoactive substances and the police will be able to stop and search people, vehicles as well as premises and not only seize but also destroy psychoactive substances.
"We have tried to ensure that all retail outlets – shops, garages, market stalls and internet suppliers are aware of their obligations under the new act and that their organisations or business are not selling or in any other way dealing in psychoactive substances by conducting extensive visits at premises in the run up to the bill.
Officers from across West Yorkshire have been visiting premises and those known to be distributing psychoactive substances in the run up to today to offer advice about the legislation change and what it means to them.
Premises will be revisited regularly to enforce the new legislation and where necessary, officers will take appropriate action.
Mark Burns Williamson, Police and Crime Commissioner for West Yorkshire, said: "I have previously called for the existing laws to be tightened up to reflect this rapidly changing problem facing our communities.
" With more psychoactive substances constantly introduced into the market West Yorkshire Police have been at the forefront of leading the way with partners in tackling this growing problem. For example we had the first successful prosecution of its kind in the country in Leeds, but it's very important that retailers and others know about the human impact and their moral responsibility to stop selling these drugs which we now know can devastate families and the lives of those that use them.
"It is testament to our partnership and innovative working that West Yorkshire Police have been praised for helping keep these substances off our streets and now it will be an offence to supply, or offer to supply psychoactive substances. "I welcome that the police will now have greater and appropriate powers to ensure those breaking the law are dealt with severely in trying to lessen the very harmful wider impact on our streets and in communities."
DCI Stevenson added; "West Yorkshire Police has been running Operation Nightshot since 2012, a multi-agency campaign aimed at raising awareness of the potential dangers of using these substances.
"As part of this campaign, DC Jamie Hudson has used existing legislation in innovative ways to prosecute suppliers and protect consumers. The change in legislation today, will assist police in dealing with this unregulated industry and it will go some way in reducing the availability of these often dangerous substances to users."
Councillor Simon Blackburn, of the Local Government Association, said "legal highs" are a "scourge on society and shatter lives".
He added: "We are aware of the risk that the sale of psychoactive substances will now move on to the 'dark web' - a network of untraceable online activity and hidden websites - and would welcome the Government putting additional resources into tackling the online threat."

FOXBOROUGH — Most of his teammates had already showered, dressed, and left the locker room following Sunday's 59-24 pasting of the Indianapolis Colts. But Julian Edelman was still in his uniform, fingers still taped, eye black streaking down his face.
Some days, it seems, you don't want to see end.
Edelman had one on Sunday, racking up a career-best 222 all-purpose yards in his finest day as a Patriot. He scored two touchdowns, becoming the first Patriot since Irving Fryar in 1985 to score on a reception and a punt return in the same game. Fryar also did it against the Colts, as did Stanley Morgan in 1979. It's now a three-man club, with the Colts once again the victim.
Edelman nearly added a third touchdown a third way, taking a reverse handoff in the fourth quarter and rushing 47 yards to the Colts' 3. Edelman didn't score — he bumped into teammate Michael Hoomanawanui at about the 15-yard line, contact that might have kept him from reaching the end zone — but the run was the longest of his career, and a season-long for the Patriots.
"I had some opportunities to make some plays, and was fortunate it went my way today," Edelman said. "We executed a few plays in special teams, we played overall a complementary football game. It was a good team win."
It's hard to find a turning point in a 35-point blowout, but the Patriots were struggling early in the game, trailing after the first quarter for the first time in a month and in need of some kind of emotional boost. Edelman provided one with his punt return, which came early in the second quarter. He fielded a Pat McAfee punt at the Patriots' 32, followed some blockers, and raced up the right sideline, blowing past his bench for a 68-yard touchdown, which helped tie the game at 14. It was Edelman's third career punt return for a touchdown, which ties the franchise mark shared by Troy Brown and Fryar.
Two plays later, Colts quarterback Andrew Luck had a pass intercepted by Aqib Talib, who returned it 59 yards for another touchdown, putting the Patriots in front to stay. Two touchdowns in a 61-second span, without the offense taking the field, turning a 7-point deficit into a 7-point lead.
It started with the punt return.
"He kind of kicked it low, it got down there quick, I set it up a little bit, I saw that our guys had their guys blocked," Edelman said. "They did their job, we had the gunners, and as a punt returner you have to make at least one miss, and we were fortunate enough to get into the end zone."
Edelman's second touchdown of the game came on the opening drive of the third quarter, his 2-yard pass from Tom Brady capping a 10-play, 76-yard drive. It was part of Edelman's best receiving day of the season, too. He caught five passes (he was targeted seven times) for 58 yards.
His only touchdown coming into the game was a short reception against Baltimore in Week 3, when Edelman hurt his hand, an injury that cost him three games. Healthy again, Edelman is making an impact.
"Julian has been dying to get out there and make plays, and he certainly did today," Brady said. "We needed it."
Said coach Bill Belichick: "Julian had a couple big plays for us. He's really worked hard to do everything to get back — the return game, passing game, slip screens, stuff like that, blocking. That was great. He had, obviously, a real productive game."
In addition to the 68-yard score, Edelman returned one other punt, and took that one back 49 yards in the fourth quarter, which led to the Patriots' final touchdown.
Running, catching, returning. Edelman, at least on this night, did it all. The only thing that didn't go his way was not scoring on the end-around.
"It was unfortunate that I didn't get in, but it set us up for a touchdown," he said. "It kind of put it away. So that was good."
The locker room had started to clear after the game, but Edelman was still sitting in front of his locker stall, a smile on his face, a phone handed to him for a quick radio interview.
He wouldn't have much time to enjoy it. The Patriots have a short week, scheduled for a Thanksgiving night game against the Jets. Or, as Edelman viewed it, another opportunity.
"It was definitely a good day," Edelman said, "but now I've got to go out and do it again."

I am a rooky with QGIS and i am stuck from a basic problems.
I have a polyline and i have some points (2) on the polyline.
I would like to know if there is a tool or script that i could use to split my original polyline into 3 polylines? (Starting point to point A, Point A to B and B to ending point of the polyline)?
I am looking for an automatic process rather splitting the line manually.

Mr Matt takes the runner up slot and as been going well in recent weeks but came up short when it mattered but that was probably down to me singing his praises last week! nonetheless still a best ever season for Matt who jointly holds the 27pts in a week record also was one of the 4 who returned 20pts + in a week that's a record and returned four 20+ totals during the season another record.
Young Isaac (3rd) as got to be pleased with his efforts in his debut season and was well there for most of the way and surprised a few he's got the taste for it now and can't wait for next season to get underway.
City Col (4th) with a courageous 19pts and a valiant last ditch attempt to spoil the party finishes agonisingly 1pt behind Isaac a solid season all the same from the big man also making his debut and no doubt he'll be back for more next time to mount his onslaught.
Cookie (5th) goes quietly about his buisness and finishes where he normally does in this he as banged some big totals in along the way and could fancy his chances next season.
ScaryMary (6th) & Redshift (7th) recovered from a shaky start to finish with respectability where they did and were on a roll with some high totals during the last month with Mary cracking the 300pts barrier at her first attempt also these 2 along with Cookie and Mr Matt hold the record for the most 20 + pts totals in a week.
Now to the "Also Rans"....
Gay Buccaneer (8th) in a nutshell apart from two 20+ totals around xmas as been just really consistently shit!.
Runcorn Flag (9th) Taff (10th) Sally (12th) three debutants who stuck at it and hung on in there and kept going till the end and will be most welcome once again next season.
Leon (11th) a former winner and regular top 3 finisher just doesn't know where it all went wrong for him this time round but vows to be back up where he belongs next time so he tells me Saturday..that'sthe spirit!.
Daveangel (13th) & Drbob (14th) both Predictor League regulars have had a season to forget really as they missed a fair number of weeks between them which curtailed any hope of seasonal glory albeit tho Dave created Predictor League history becoming the first highest points scorer in a week 27pts (Mar 10) curtesy of his infamous 1 - 0 away wins!.the record now though as been eequalled by Mr Matt (Apr 14) and Monkerhostin (Apr 28)..both Daveangel & Drbob who is normally a top 5 or 6 player are better than their finishing positions suggests and hope they come back next season and do theirselves justice.
Dave m city fan (15th) "Refused at the first" so to speak and chucked it in very early on -you'll be first on the list for next season then Dave.
As Redshift mentioned big thanks to everyone for taking part and seeing it out and hope to see you all again come the next one when hopefully we can get to a starting 20.
Cheers All...have a good summer.

capisuite - Python-scriptable ISDN telecommunication suite
CapiSuite is a Python-scriptable ISDN telecommunication suite. It uses the new CAPI interface for accessing your ISDN-hardware - so you'll need a card for which a CAPI compatible driver is available. Currently these are all cards manufactured by AVM and some Eicon cards. This man page only gives a short introduction, for the real documentation please see the HTML or PDF manual distributed with CapiSuite. CapiSuite tries to give the user the ability to code his own ISDN applications without having to fiddle around with all the dirty programming details like callback functions, data buffers, protocol settings and so on. I took a scripting language which is (in my opinion) very easy to understand, to use and to learn - especially for beginners: Python. I extended it with some functions providing the basic ISDN "building blocks" for the users application. Behind these functions the heart of CapiSuite implements all the dirty details a user isn't interested in. My goal was to make script-coding as simple as possible but to also give you the flexibility to realize what you want. To give you an impression, coding a simple answering machine is as easy as:.IP .nf def callIncoming (call, service, call_from, call_to): connect_voice (call, 10) # answer call after 10 secs audio_send (call, "announcemnt.la") # play announcement audio_send (call, "beep.la") # play beep audio_receive (call, "call.la", 10) # record call .fi Of course some details are missing like creating a unique filename or storing the additional information (called and calling party numbers, time, ...) - but I assume you got my idea. And - don't be afraid - if you just want to have a normal answering machine or send and receive some fax documents, you can use the default scripts distributed with CapiSuite. They give you already some nice features - e.g. the answering machine is multi-user ready, supports automatic fax detection and remote inquiry functions. You'll only need to tell CapiSuite some details like your own number, record an own announcement and that's it. So CapiSuite is already equipped for your daily telecommunication needs - but if you don't like to do the things the way I do - just change it or completely do it on your own. And if you write nice scripts or have changes to my default scripts, I would love to get and perhaps make them available for all users if you don't mind.

NH Senate considering House bill that lets farmers legally grow industrial hemp
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) � New Hampshire's Senate is considering a House-passed a bill that would protect industrial hemp from being tagged as an illicit drug.
The House tried last year to get the Senate to agree to a similar bill, but the Senate instead voted to study the measure. The Senate holds a hearing on the bill Thursday.
The latest House bill would forbid industrial hemp, a botanical cousin to marijuana, from being listed as a controlled substance.
Supporters say hemp was once an important crop in the United States, but has not been grown in New Hampshire for decades. They say the plant has lower levels of THC, a principal chemical in cannabis, than marijuana and can be used for a variety of non-illicit products.

One look at the wives and children walking the fairways at the PGA Professional National Championship this week, their faces beaming with pride, reinforces what everyone already knows: Nothing is more important than family.
U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson made that point emphatically last week when he confirmed that he will miss this year's British Open Championship to be with his wife, Dowd, who is expecting the couple's second child in late July.
"I'm a guy who loves my family, and we're probably only going to have a couple more babies, so I have the rest of my life to play in the British Open," Simpson said. "I don't want to miss the birth of our second child. It's an easy decision."
Parents have always loved their children, but a generation ago, this would never have happened. When Trevor Immelman withdrew from the 2006 British Open to fly to Orlando for the birth of his and wife, Carminita's, first child, several old time tour pros chastised Trevor's father, Johan, in the Hoylake clubhouse.
"They said to me, 'In our day, you would never leave a tournament for something like that, especially a major,'" Johan told me over lunch recently. "Times have certainly changed."
In this way, at least, they have changed for the better.
Jacob Immelman will turn six in a few weeks. He can often be found swatting golf balls with his father at Isleworth. They are together on the road in Washington now, and as Travor said to me, "He loves the game, which is great, because family is, obviously, the number one priority.
"My situation (when Jacob was born) was a little different, because Carminita wasn't due for another month, and I had just won the Western Open, so I thought I had plenty of time. Turns out I didn't. But I'm glad I made the call I did, and I glad that Webb made the call he did early enough that people can prepare and it doesn't catch anyone off guard."
Then, in a reflective moment, he said, "Golf is golf, but it is important to have your priorities in line."
Golf should never compete with family on the priority chain. If it does, the game loses. That is why the PGA of America is encouraging families to get out and play golf together. July is Family Golf Month, an initiative through the Play Golf America campaign designed to bring parents, grandparents, children and siblings closer through the game.
Webb Simpson won't let golf interfere with his family, but he, better than most, appreciates the bond the game can forge within a family. The youngest of six children, Simpson played with his father, Sam, from the time he was eight years old. As his love of the game grew, so did the support from his family.
"We would follow him to junior and amateur tournaments all the time," Simpson's sister Blake Fricks told me. "At first we didn't want to go, but then my sisters and I realized that traveling to beautiful places where all these good-looking boys were playing golf wasn't such a bad thing after all."
Family memories within the game tend to be among the most vivid, and not just when a sibling wins the U.S. Open. A hole-in-one with a father; a daughter's first birdie; beating mom for the first time, or razzing your brother for missing a short one to win a post-round drink: these are the stories that are retold for decades.
"Webb was playing at Bay Hill (in the Arnold Palmer Invitational) on a special invitation as an amateur because he was the Arnold Palmer Scholar at Wake Forest," Blake said. "It was one of our most special memories as a family, because we were there, standing behind the 18th green on Friday, knowing that he needed to make a birdie to make the cut. He didn't know it. He thought he was in. When he missed the green, we held hands and prayed for something great to happen."
It did. Simpson chipped in for birdie to make the cut on the number. And his family had a story that will be told for generations to come.
They were together again, parents and all six siblings along with their spouses and children, when Simpson won his first event in Greensboro, N.C. "Having everyone so close and being able to be there, that was truly special," Blake said.
Sam Simpson and his wife Debbie still play golf, as does Blake's husband, Wesley, who is "playing a lot more since he's married into this family," Blake said.
She didn't get to see her brother win his first major. Pregnant herself, Blake trudged around Augusta National but couldn't make the trip to San Francisco. But she was there in spirit, as was the rest of the Simpson clan.
Like most grown siblings, they are spread out, busy with kids and jobs and the hectic trappings of life. And like most families, they have lapses: periods of time when they lose touch. But they still speak, more frequently now than ever.
They have a reason to. Their little brother is the U.S. Open champion. It is a bond they will share forever.
The game of golf did that.

TRENTON - The Department of Environmental Protection, NJ TRANSIT, Washington Township and the Gloucester County Health Department are advising the public that fishing and all other water-related activities on Grenloch Lake are suspended until further notice while monitoring and cleanup activities related to a Jan. 12 fuel spill from a nearby NJ TRANSIT bus garage continue. Grenloch Lake Park will remain open for all other recreational activities.
"While there has been significant progress in the cleanup of Grenloch Lake, out of an abundance of caution the DEP will not stock the lake with trout for the upcoming trout season and has closed the lake to all fishing," said DEP Commissioner Bob Martin. "In addition, the township, DEP, NJ Transit and the Gloucester County Health Department are advising the public that the lake not be used for swimming, wading or boating. We are also jointly advising the public to avoid allowing pets to enter the water while these activities continue."
NJ TRANSIT and the DEP have been working closely with local officials and legislators, advising them on progress of cleanup of diesel fuel that spilled into the lake as a result of the leak from underground fuel storage tanks."I have said this before and I will say this again. Our neighbors in Gloucester and Camden counties can be assured that NJ TRANSIT is committed to being a continued and consistent presence within the community as we continue our work to alleviate the impact of the spill," said NJ TRANSIT Executive Director James Weinstein.
NJ TRANSIT and its contractors have continued to work to remove the residual petroleum contamination from Grenloch Lake and its adjacent wetlands. While the overwhelming majority of the cleanup has been completed, a small amount of oil remains along parts of the shoreline and wetlands. Petroleum odors may be noticeable in the Grenloch Lake area as the result of warmer weather accelerating the evaporation of this fuel.
"Washington Township supports the decision of the DEP and defers to their experts," said Washington Township Mayor Barbara Wallace. "While we are disheartened that Grenloch Lake will be closed for the near future, we support this cautionary decision."
NJ TRANSIT continues to conduct periodic surface water and sediment sampling along all local water bodies impacted by the spill, under DEP guidance. Tissue samples have been taken from fish from impacted water bodies, although there have not been any significant fish kills associated with the spill. Results of these test samples are pending.
Over the past two weeks, the DEP has observed a number of dead turtles in and around the lake. The cause of these deaths is under investigation. Tissue samples have been sent to a laboratory for analysis.
Grenloch Lake is a popular fishing spot with the start of the spring trout season, which begins April 7. The DEP's Division of Fish and Wildlife has decided not to stock the lake with trout due to the ongoing cleanup. Fish that would have been stocked in Grenloch Lake are instead being stocked at other nearby lakes.
DEP-stocked trout lakes nearby include Greenwich Lake in Greenwich, Iona Lake in Franklin, Swedesboro Lake in Swedesboro, Westville Lake in Westville, Oak Pond in Winslow, Gloucester City Pond in Gloucester City, Haddon Lake in Haddon Township, and Rowands Pond in Clementon.
An estimated 26,000 gallons of diesel fuel leaked from the NJ Transit bus facility in Washington Township on Jan. 12 when a gasket failed in the facility's fuel storage tanks. The following is an update on cleanup process.
In consultation with the DEP, NJ TRANSIT has:
The NJ TRANSIT hot line number remains in effect, with residents encouraged to call 1.800.626.7433 with any questions or concerns.

YAY we finally got some snow! What is even cooler is that it came... and then this morning started melting and now the roads are clear. So we got to enjoy the snow, but it wasn't obnoxious and didn't stay forever. It's also a plus because people in Oregon don't know how to drive in the snow.
Seth & I went out for a snowy ride

A target for Bucs fans, Cueto shows rust on mound
Reds starter says chants didn't bother him despite dropped ball, subsequent homer
PITTSBURGH -- "Cueee-to! Cueee-to! Cueee-to!"
Twenty-one years of pent-up frustration and fandom culminated in this moment of Tuesday night's National League Wild Card Game at PNC Park.
Johnny Cueto was on the mound for the Cincinnati Reds, and 40,487 Pittsburghians were taunting him, mocking him, subjecting him to the sound of a baseball town reborn.
With that sound raining down upon Cueto in the second inning, the ball slipped out of his hand and the game essentially slipped out of Cincinnati's grasp. He had just served up a solo shot to Marlon Byrd and now, with Cueto's own name turned into a "Darryl"-like jab, he left one hanging for Russell Martin, who promptly pounded it out to left-center field to make it 2-0 Pirates in a game they'd go on to win, 6-2, to end the Reds' season and advance to the NL Division Series.
"I think the crowd got to him a little bit," Martin said later. "I don't know if he was rattled a little bit, but I definitely think it played with the focus he had out there."
That was one theory, and it was the prevailing one. But Cueto laughed it off, just as he chuckled when the crowd noise began to take over.
"I don't listen to them," Cueto said through interpreter Tomas Vera. "It's like Opening Day, like any other game. It doesn't scare me."
Remember, Cueto has pitched in the Dominican Winter League, where crazy crowds are par for the course. And this was the same guy whom manager Dusty Baker had praised pregame for his calm under pressure.
"If you know Johnny Cueto like I know Johnny Cueto," Baker had said, "he thrives in this type of environment. ... The one thing about Johnny, he loves pressure. He loves to be in the big games."
Cincinnati undoubtedly took a risk in inserting Cueto into this big game. The Reds probably would have gone with Mat Latos, but the bone spurs in his pitching elbow complicated their alignment.
This was just Cueto's third start since returning from a lat strain -- his third trip to the disabled list this season. And as good as Cueto looked in the first two starts, allowing just one earned run over 12 innings, those came against Astros and Mets teams serving as also-rans in the standings. A hot Bucs team basking in the glow of a postseason berth before a hungry fan base is another story.
Cueto has usually thrived in this ballpark, but on this night, he looked rusty right from the get-go. He got through the first inning unscathed, but he was leaving his pitches up, and the two fly-ball outs recorded that inning were hard-hit outs.
"He never really got below the zone and didn't have his bottoming action like he normally does," catcher Ryan Hanigan said. "And that can happen to a pitcher. It's going to happen all throughout the season at certain points. He only had two starts, and he didn't have a chance to work through and get back to where he can be, so it was tough for him. He was battling and trying to make the adjustment and trying to get the ball down, but he never really got to the point where he's as sharp as he can be."
Hanigan said it seemed as though Cueto was falling back off the mound instead of driving through it. After the Pirates' two-run second inning, Cueto even took the bold step of pitching from the stretch to start the third, opening the door to questions about how comfortable he was feeling physically.
"It was my decision," he said. "I felt more comfortable that way. I wanted to see what the results were if I do it that way."
The results weren't any better. Cueto gave up an unearned run in the third and served up a two-out double that would lead to another run in the fourth. His outing stood in stark contrast to the shutdown stylings of Francisco Liriano, who breezed through Cincinnati's bats.
Was the crowd the cause? Or was Cueto simply doomed by a mechanical flaw? You'll get conflicting opinions, of course.
"I know they got in Cueto's head a little bit," Martin said. "He might not admit to it. It was definitely a tough environment for an opposing team to play in. It was special."
Or as A.J. Burnett opined, "That's what happens when you get the Burgh into it."
The evidence that the crowd had gotten to Cueto was certainly compelling. It's one thing to be up with your pitches, but it's another to leave an absolute meatball over the middle mere seconds after fumbling the ball while getting roundly ridiculed.
This, then, is a discussion Cueto simply can't win. Because no matter what he feels about it, no matter what his Reds teammates feel about it, what we'll remember most about the NL Wild Card Game and Pittsburgh's long-awaited return to October is that sound of "Cueee-to! Cueee-to!" ringing in the air, and then the thwack of Martin's bat.
"That's a good story in like 40 years when I have grandkids," Martin said.
Pardon Cueto if he'd prefer to leave the story untold.

What's in name? Quite a lot, as it goes.
Shakey may contend that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. But, loathe to gainsay greatest English speaking scribe bar none, it's bard advice.
Monikers matter. Nomenclature is king. All hail appellation. Without it, we're merely numbers. And, paraphrasing Prisoner Patrick McGoohan, "we are not numbers, we are free men". And women.
So sobriquets – nicknames to you and I – are not only affectionate. But oft obligatory. Otherwise we'll all descend into chaotic confusion. Or confusing chaos. Either way, the sky will fall in. And the world end. As we know it.
Perhaps not, but you get my drift. There's no room for doubt in the fractured family dynamic. Such uncertainty requires clarification for newest additions to our extended kindred. Clan so dysfunctional, it makes Simpsons and Sopranos appear normal.
Long story short-ish, Ella entered a world with more relatives than I've had hot dinners. Which, as an increasingly expanding gut-busting waistband attests, is many and varied.
Remarriages and other such seismic life shifts have resulted in genealogical jumble, generating ever growing family tree boasting more branches than Barclays.
There's cousins continually coming out of the woodwork. Or, more accurately, womb. Aunts aplenty and, unless I'm very much mistaken, Uncle Tom Cobley. And all.
Our two year-old's grandmother, grandma, gran and nana number four. As do grandfather, granddaddy, grampa and grandpop. So how best to differentiate between multiple male grandparents?
Exhaustive research revealed traditional alternatives including Big Daddy, Big Paw, Bumpy and Boppa. Thoroughly modern alternatives included all manner of elder titles from Ace and Boss to Rocky and Skipper.
Popular Poppy and Gramps meanwhile could respectively be too easily modified into Poopy and Grumps. Foreign language variations on this theme were similarly fraught with difficulties.
French Canadian Pépé had an air of animated malodorous skunk about it. Hawaiian Tutu Kane sounded, well, more like a mummy. Dead one at that.
Chinese YehYeh smacked of American indie rock band. Italian Nonno was non-starter. So we collectively plumped for GPP. For Grand Papa Pago.
Initially, learning formative vocabulary, she could only get her tiny tongue around last two initials. Now Ella can articulate the entire acronym. Indeed, she can now say "Galapagos". But she resolutely chooses not to.
Instead she takes great delight in mischievously calling "PP" at any given opportunity. Across the road. Around the park. Among the aisles. Anywhere. And any time.
Which is just fine by me, welcoming it as unique and endearing badge of honour. But one that can cause continual kerfuffle during current toilet training!

"Imagine how higher education might be transformed if measures of psychological well-being were used to strengthen the positive mental health of students and faculty."
When faculty, staff, and administrators become aware of the effects that curricular and co-curricular programming has on student well-being, how might this knowledge change the way they facilitate the learning, growth and development of emerging adults? When administrators and faculty leaders can see where faculty vitality is hearty or depleted, how might this awareness change policies and programs on faculty development? These questions and the vision behind them drives the current research we are doing at Well-Being in Higher Education.
This website delivers and scores two inventories on well-being: one for students and a second for faculty. Both are derived from current research on the promotion of psychological well-being. While these tools can indicate general levels of satisfaction and happiness, they are designed to elucidate and assess the specific underlying conditions that enable growth in students and faculty.
This part of the website is for college students. Here you will find an inventory to assess your well-being, information for interpreting the inventory and other resources to help you achieve optimal psychological well-being.
Here faculty will find an inventory to assess their well-being, information to interpret the inventory and evidence-based interventions and suggestions to promote their psychological well-being and that of colleagues.
If you are a student or faculty developer, or an institutional researcher, this website can help you collect assessment data on the psychological well-being of students and faculty. It will create a database that you can query online and also download for more extensive statistical analyses.

Trip Report Abstract - The Alamosa Sub
It's been a slow week at work, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to take Friday off and do a little railfanning. The only question was where to go - so many choices... Fortunately, when I got up Friday, the choice was made for me by the power desk in Omaha - the Pueblo-Alamosa local had three Rio Grande GP40s, and had left only a few hours prior. So, at seven in the morning, off I went...
