Welcome to the Teachonomy
I am a Teacher and I am Proud
When it comes to making a difference in this world, teachers are on the top of the list.
If you've ever had the benefit of a making a student smile, seeing the 'aha' moment in a child's eye or being the difference maker in the life of a student, then you know just how powerful teaching can be. Although it can be a difficult road, there is nothing quite like being a teacher.
I've had many job titles throughout my life, from being a paperboy to being in charge of a business, yet nothing has ever made me beam with pride quite like the title 'teacher.' It has not always been the easiest of roads, however, and I've faced more 'rollercoaster' years as a teacher than I have with any other profession. Yet even with all of the 'ups and downs,' there is one thing that I can clearly state at the end of the day. "I am a teacher, and I am proud!"
I am a teacher and I am proud
I am proud to be a part of a group of individuals who do what they do for the love of the job and the student, not for the desire of the dollar.
I am proud to be part of a profession where our daily 'employees' are in our care for one year. Yet five, ten, even twenty years later they come back, searching specifically for you in hopes to be able to say, "Thank you."
I am proud to have colleagues who inspire me every day to be a better teacher.
I am proud to be in a position where at times I am a mentor for those who need it, a shoulder to cry on when no one else will listen, or a much needed positive authority figure to help guide the way.
I am proud to be a part of a job that doesn't feel like a job. Where every day, no matter how I am feeling, I have students that are happy to see me and love that I am there.
I am proud to be in a profession where, if I am absent, I am genuinely missed by the people who I am serving. It always feels good to have students say, "We missed you."
I am proud to be part of something nobody can possibly understand until they set foot in a classroom and teach. No theory, textbook or study can truly define what teachers do each day to make an impact.
I am proud that I get to come alongside parents every day knowing they trust me with their most precious and valuable gift.
I am proud to be a part of the profession that creates all other professions.
I am proud to be on this journey with my fellow teachers because together we have the priceless opportunity to impact, influence and inspire the future of our world.
A simple encouragement…
No matter where you may be in your teaching career, whether you are on top of the world or feeling more towards the bottom, BE PROUD. You are a part of something much bigger than you can even imagine. You are making an impact of epic proportions, you are changing the lives of your students and what you do each day matters more than you know.
Be PROUD to call yourself 'Teacher.'

The Ultimate Vacation Guide to Belize
Mayan ruins and jaguar-filled jungles make Belize much more than just a beach and dive mecca.
Belize is a big country with a small population, leaving plenty of room for exploring and serenity-seeking on the country's mainland or its stunning little islands (cayes), all of which are protected by the 190-mile-long Belize Barrier Reef. People with a passion for adventure will find extensive trails to hike and caves to explore, but Belize is equally welcoming to visitors who want nothing more than a cocktail made from locally distilled Travellers rum, a beach chair, and a cerulean horizon to contemplate.
The Best Beaches in Belize
The Placencia Peninsula in southern Belize has 15 miles of sandy beach backed by lush vegetation and plenty of bars and restaurants, many lining the long, narrow boardwalk bisecting Placencia Village.
The Garifuna village of Hopkins faces five miles of low-key beaches surrounding a crescent bay, suffused with indigenous culture.
Many of Belize's best beaches are on its offshore islands, some only accessible by boat.
- Laughing Bird Caye is an easy day trip from Placencia, an atoll 11 miles offshore on a segment of Belize's barrier reef.
- The Sapodilla Cayes are part of a protected marine reserve, with clear waters ideal for snorkeling right off the beach.
- Likewise, Half Moon Caye is part of Belize's national parks system and is home to, in addition to great beaches, a population of red-footed boobies and rare seabirds.
- Tiny Caye Culker retains the laid-back vibe that led many people to seek out Belize's islands in the first place.
The Best Things to Do in Belize
Go Diving: Exceptional diving and the charming fishing village of San Pedro make Belize's largest island, Ambergris Caye, its most popular, too. Just offshore is the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, whose famous dive sites include the aptly named Shark Ray Alley. Tour and dive boats venture out daily to the Great Blue Hole, the famously deep sinkhole on the Belize Barrier Reef that is also spectacular when viewed from the air.
See Wildlife: Jaguars prowl the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Preserve, and very lucky visitors may spot one of these big cats on a guided hike; if you want a sure thing, the Belize Zoo also has jaguars among its 150 species of native inhabitants.
Soak in the Local Culture: Belize's ancient Mayan culture is revealed in archaeological sites like Altun Ha, Caracol, and Cahal Pech, while visitors will receive a warm welcome at Hopkins Village and Dangriga Town, centers of Belize's Garifuna culture, which has roots in West Africa.
The Best Restaurants and Bars in Belize
At Elvi's Kitchen in San Pedro on Ambergris Caye, live music and fresh seafood are served up daily at this anchor of the Ambergris Caye food scene for more than 35 years.
While in San Pedro, try El Fogon for traditional rice and beans and other local Belizean food, and don't stress about the wait — like most good restaurants in Belize, your meal is made to order, and that takes time.
Also on Ambergris Caye, Rum + Bean, on the grounds of Mahogany Bay Village, pours strong brew, has thrillingly fast wifi, and rum on the shelves for when it's that time of day. In fact, Mahogany Bay is quickly becoming a dining destination unto itself: its open-air Taco Shack is open for breakfast and lunch, and Jyoto Japanese Cuisine has a fresh and innovative approach to sushi, sourcing local catch. And at Mahogany Chocolate, the artisanal chocolates—think bonbons, pralines, truffles, and even drinking chocolate—are made from 100 percent Belizean cacao.
For beach bar sunsets washed down with a Belikin beer, stick your toes in the sand at the Palapa Bar on Ambergris Caye or the Lazy Lizard on Caye Culker.
When in Garifuna country, Chef Rob's Gourmet Café in Hopkins Village serves locally sourced and internationally informed upscale steaks and seafood.
Be sure to sample hudut, a traditional coconut fish stew, at a local eatery like Innies or Tina's Kitchen.
The Best Places to Shop in Belize
What it lacks in subtlety, Tourism Village in Belize City makes up in selection: the main shopping area catering to cruise-ship passengers has both permanent shops and street vendors selling locally made crafts and other souvenirs.
Related: The Cheapest Places to Travel Each Month of the Year:
For finer artwork and crafts, stop into the National Handicraft Center on South Park Street.
Barrier Reef Drive is the main shopping drag in San Pedro on Ambergris Caye, while the Beach Bazaar in the heart of Placencia Village has a mix of inexpensive and higher-end goods. Popular take-homes include hardwood crafts — particularly bracelets made from rare, spiral-patterned ziricote wood — and edibles like locally harvested and produced chocolate and the famous Marie Sharp's hot sauce, the latter best acquired on a tour of the factory in Stann Creek, near Placencia.
The Best Hotels and Resorts in Belize
Beachfront luxury and eco-resorts are what Belize does best.
Cayo Espanto is a Caribbean private island resort that's a great jumping-off point for snorkeling trips to Hol Chan and bird-watching tours led by the Belize Audubon Society.
Mahogany Bay Resort & Beach Club, Curio Collection by Hilton on Ambergris Cayee features British Colonial-style cottages and a cluster of excellent drinking and dining venues, as well as a gracious Great House and pool, all within walking distance of each other.
The Matachica Resort and Spa is the other upscale resort on Ambergris Caye, with thatch-roofed casitas on a pristine beach. Belize's first eco-resort, the Lodge at Chaa Creek has beautiful luxury accommodations, but you can still book a budget stay at the resort's Macal River Camp.
Copal Tree Lodge (formerly Belcampo) trades the river valley for a hilltop location overlooking the jungle, part of a 3,000-acre working farm.
Owned by Academy Award-winning filmmaker turned hotelier Francis Ford Coppola, the Blancaneaux Lodge and Turtle Inn show both faces of Belize luxury: the lodge has 20 cabanas set alongside waterfalls on the Privasson River, close to Mayan ruins, while the inn is a Plancencia beach resort with a hint of Balinese design and a Thai-style spa.

There are indeed volcanoes at Mammoth Lakes, and
there is a good chance that there will be more to
come. The big question is when? Will there be an
eruption and growth of a new volcano in the next
few years? That is the question that geologists
are trying to answer. Seven hundred
thousand (700,000) years ago a volcanic eruption
larger than any that has been recorded in history,
occurred at Mammoth and formed a twenty mile long
crater that we now call Long Valley. This
eruption was 600 times larger than the eruption of
Mount Saint Helens in 1980; another eruption just
as big could happen again. There are two places
in the 48 connected states of the United States
that are most likely to have a volcanic eruption
in the near future, and Mammoth Lakes is one of
them (the other is Mount Saint Helens).
Long Valley is no longer a smooth, flat crater
depression because other smaller volcanoes have
grown on the valley floor. One of them is Mammoth
Mountain, where there is a large ski area.
Mammoth Mountain is a volcano that began eruption
150,000 years ago and may still be active. The
most vocanically active part of the area is
between Mono Lake and Mammoth Lakes, just outside
the edge of Long Valley. Four hundred
thousand (40,000) years ago the Mono Craters and
Inyo Craters began erupting, and they have erupted
off and on almost until the present. Over 30 new
volcanic vents opened in the last 2000 years, and
the last eruption was about 500 to 600 years ago.
The most likely volcanic hazard in the area is
that there will be another small eruption like the
ones that have created the Mono and Inyo Craters.
Such an eruption might deposit a layer of ash
eight inches thick, 20 miles downwind and two
inches thick even as far away as 50 miles. The
eruption might last a few weeks or months.
The only volcanic event in the Mammoth
Lakes region that has been recorded by eye-witness
accounts, is a steam blast that occurred on
Mammoth Mountain in 1890. The recent swarm of
earthquake activity, however, may be an indication
that another eruption like those that produced
Inyo and Mono Craters is soon to occur. Such an
eruption would be extremely damaging to towns like
Mammoth Lakes, Lee Vining, and Bishop. Buildings
and streets would be covered with ash, and there
is a good chance that many people would be
killed. Another danger has to do with the
water supply for Los Angeles. An eruption in the
Mammoth Lakes area would contaminate the largest
source of water for the city, Crowley reservoir,
and make it undrinkable. Then Los Angeles would
have to get a lot more water from other places
like northern California and the Colorado River.
This would be very expensive and potentially
damaging to ecosystems. Well, that is a
long answer to your question. I didn't know all
of this myself. I found most of this information
in a Book called Fire Mountains of the West: The
Cascades and Mono Lake Volcanoes, by Stephan L.
Harris. The information about the water
supply to Los Angles, I read in a newpaper article
(the LA Times, I think, although I couldn't find
it again!). Let me know if you have any more
Seven hundred thousand (700,000) years ago there
was a HUGE eruption in LONG VALLEY, near Mammoth
Lakes. The amount of magma erupted was about
600cubic kilometers !!!...The residual activity
that we see today is related to that giant
eruption 700,000 years ago.More recently
there were small eruptions near the Chain of
Craters road...about 600 years ago..the indians
saw these eruptions. As far as the future,
no one can say...it is very likely that there will
be eruptions in the future...however, it is
virtually impossible to say if they will come
within the next year, 10 years, 100 years or even
more!!!!You see, geologic time scales are
far longer than human lifetimes...what is needed
is to monitor the Mammoth Lakes area for quakes as
well as the release of volcanic gases, so that we
can make better volcano predictions. Also, the
swelling of the ground due to magma movement and
/or storage can tell us that something MAY
happen...but to predict an actual time is
impossible now; we just dont know enough. If you
study hard and learn a lot aboout geology maybe
someday you can be a geologist who specializes in
volcanology and therefore work on a problem like
this, as I do.
Basically, no one knows for sure what will happen
at Mammoth mountain because it is impossible to
make an accurate prediction. Scientists have to
make an educated guess based on the data that they
have. The problem is that there is not much data
to warn when a volcano eruption is coming. (It is
similar to the way that a light bulb burns out.
After you have been using a light bulb for a long
time, you know that the chance that it will burn
out becomes greater, but you can't predict just
exactly when it will burn out.)Scientists
are worried about Mammoth mountain because the
number of earthquakes in the area around the
mountain have increased recently. Also, the
amount of gases like carbon dioxide in the air
near the lakes has increased. This means that the
chance for an eruption is greater, but no one can
be certain.The clues that an eruption will
occur are very small and not always reliable, but
as technology improves, scientists can measure
these clues better and make better guesses about
volcano eruptions.Here's a web site I
found if you want to learn

The Rogue Queen, the third (and, notably, NOT final) novel in Emily R. King's The Hundredth Queen series, is here and spoiler alert: It's great!
About 'The Rogue Queen' by Emily R. King
Despite the odds, Kalinda has survived it all: Marriage to a tyrant. Tournaments to the death. The forbidden power to rule fire. The icy touch of a demon.
That same demon now disguises itself as Rajah Tarek, Kalinda's late husband and a man who has never stopped haunting her. Upon taking control of the palace and the army, the demon brands Kalinda and her companions as traitors to the empire. They flee across the sea, seeking haven in the Southern Isles.
In Lestari, Kalinda's powers are not condemned, as they are in her land. Now free to use them to protect those she loves, Kalinda soon realizes that the demon has tainted her with a cold poison, rendering her fire uncontrollable. But the lack of control may be just what she needs to send the demon back to the darkest depths of the Void.
To take back the empire, Kalinda will ally with those she distrusts — and risk losing those most loyal to her—to defeat the demon and bring peace to a divided nation.

'The Rogue Queen' review
I need to confess something upfront: I made the mistake of reading The Rogue Queen with the expectation that it was last book of the trilogy. I didn't even stop to think that there was a chance that this series wasn't a trilogy just because of the flow of the previous books.
My friends, this is not the end. Not even close.
The Rogue Queen picks up almost right where The Fire Queen left off, give or take a few days. We don't miss much in those few days and get to jump right back into the story like we never left (which I love).
With our heroes being on the move again, The Rogue Queen introduces us to interesting new characters unlike others we've met before. But the book doesn't delve too much into them. Just enough to give us a clear picture of them, with the unspoken promise that we'll see them again to learn more.
And speaking of seeing characters again, The Rogue Queen is like one big reunion. The Hundredth Queen series does not forget any of the characters (major or minor) that it has introduced to us in the past. In fact, I think just about every character that Kali and Deven have relationships with come back in this novel, sometimes in pretty big ways. It's really fun to see all of these people again, especially all of Kali's fierce lady compatriots.
On the other hand, however, the characters didn't come together enough for my liking. The Fire Queen was practically defined by the major character separations that happened, which was fine. But, in this book, just when you think all of your faves are together again for good, they separate again and remain that way for a large chunk of time. I love these characters so much and I'm fascinated by the world that they live in that I just want to see them discovering it and problem-solving their way through their issues together.
As a result of this extended separation, there's sadly far less romance in this installment than in the previous ones. Because these books' chapters give both Kali and Deven's perspectives on what's going on, it's not really a spoiler to confirm that these two are apart for most of the novel. They each go through their own trials, but, given the circumstances, they don't think of or pine after each other as much as I had hoped. And when they are together, their interactions are pretty short-lived and unsatisfying (save for one steamy one). Speaking of unsatisfying, the end is devastating for Kali and Deven shippers. I won't give anything away, but I can guarantee you won't be ready for it.
All I want is Kali and Deven's happiness! Is that too much to ask?! (Probably. At least for now. But my wanting this is also a clear sign of how much Emily R. King has made me care about her characters, which is definitely a good thing.)
But the separation of characters (and the resulting lack of romance) is really my only complaint about this book — and it's a fairly small one. The new issues with bhuta powers and soul fire, as well as the consequences of the wish Ashwin made when setting the demon free in the previous book, definitely make up for the separation. It's the way that The Rogue Queen exposes new angles on established ideas and stories (rather than throwing brand new elements in the mix) that make it a really enjoyable novel.
I love seeing things I thought I knew in new lights and from new perspectives. For instance, Kali returns to an important place from her past and it feels entirely different from the last time we were there with her. Different, but not foreign. There are so many details like this that a re-read of the entire series (once it's all out there) would be fascinating.
However, I don't think a re-read would make the end of this book any less of a surprise. I thought I knew where this series was going throughout the first two novels, but the end of the third seemingly takes it in a new and unexpected direction. That being said, the clues for the new adventure in the fourth book are hinted at and teased throughout The Rogue Queen. And yet, when the story turn happens, it will surely catch you off-guard (in the best way possible).
The Rogue Queen feels very much like the middle book of a series — which makes total sense because it is — but it has a really solid story that sets up an interesting path for the conclusion. It has the perfect amount of action and strategic planning, as well as a healthy dose of female empowerment. Fans of the series certainly won't be disappointed with this new installment and, by the end of it, will be cheering "Bring on The Warrior Queen!"
The Rogue Queen by Emily R. King is available now from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your local independent bookstore. Also, don't forget to add it to your Goodreads "to read" list!

I have just finished reviewing all the portfolios of those who have so far submitted claims for open badges from the BYODAL event (somewhere along the line 'event', rather than course, became a preferred term for at least one participant).
First, let me address the last topic: Creating
Day 5: Creating
I was absent Miss. Well, it was my birthday and my family took me out of class. However, this gave me the opportunity to address the day's topic. Though not necessarily successfully.
Creativity comes from need and challenge, even more than it simply comes from opportunity. (BTW I do not subscribe to big C creativity as in genius artists and musicians. My interest in creativity and the one I think that is impoirtant in the context of education and BYOD4L is small c: guile, ingeneuity, thinking differently, critically and openly, etc).
My need then was to engage with BYOD4L on its last day, and evening in particular. I achieved this by applying some of what I have learnt in the lead up to the week and then during the week.
BYOD provides us with an extension to the learning environments we already know. We have more options, so more possibilities. Those possibilities are about our personal learning 'space' which is a cognitive concept. It doesn't matter where we are, who we are with, what we are doing, what we have with us – ultimately it is about what we are constructing in our minds. (That is my claim for Creating credit btw – how I overcame being in a cinema watching the new Cohen brothers movie and not being in the TweetChat. May I suggest that we put the 'dog ate my homework' to bed now…)
Throughout the day, of course, I was able to engage with BYOD4L by dipping in and out of Twitter, Facebook and (now) Pinterest. And G+. And YouTube. There are a lot of spaces that I am active in now that I was only aware of a week ago .
I have made plenty of things this week. But perhaps the one that represents success more than anything is this simple picture from Day 4 I think. I needed to communicate this idea. I had no time, and for a moment I was lost spinning in that "there must be an App for this" conundrum. While this technique isn't new to me, what is new is what I have learnt about it, that is: using the camera phone to quickly capture and share a scribble is much more powerful sometimes than getting lost learning how to use the latest graphics app (though I'm always happy to get lost there too).
Actually I suppose I could have enhanced this photo using one of the many photo enhancing apps I have. But I didn't. I just shared it quickly. Job done. And this brings me back to Martin Weller's 'Good Enough' comment that I agree with so much when thinking about user-generated content. If we focus on the purpose of what we are doing we realise that creativity is often about stripping away detail and decoration. Look at artists like Picasso, Franz Klein, Henry Moore,etc, etc. The power comes from the strength of the original idea and intent. The longer we spend with an idea the more in danger we are of obscuring it and stifling it.
So that brings to an end/beginning my little learning journey of BYOD4L. Posts/thinking this week are all found in January 2014 of this blog or under the tag BYOD4L.

NBA and FIBA announced the list of 61 youngsters, boys and girls combined, who have been selected for the fifth annual Basketball Without Borders (BWB) Global Camp. The campers have been selected from 31 countries spread across Africa, Americas, Asia and Europe.
Grishma Niranjan from Bangalore who won the MVP award at NBA Academy India Women's camp this year is the only female player from India to be part of the camp. She was selected as the MVP at the women's camp held in January for her exceptional skills and leadership quality. Grishma started playing basketball from the age of 13 and since then she's been passionate about the sport. Blair Hardiek, the technical director of Women's camp rated Grishma as a rare talent. "She sees the entire court and knows how to get the best out of every player playing in her team," said Blair Hardiek about Grishma in a video published by NBA. The 5'5 point guard will be learning valuable lessons from the best basketball players in the world at the Global Camp .
Meanwhile, Harshwardhan Tomar has been in the radar of NBA academy since he earned a scholarship to study and play basketball at Stellazzurra Basketball Academy. The 6ft 7 inch center was part of the U16 Indian Boys National Basketball Team at the 2015 FIBA Asia Championship held in Indonesia. He has also participated in the NBA Junior Camp in India.
The Global camp will be held from Feb. 15 to Feb. 17 at the Queens University of Charlotte Levine Center for Wellness and Recreation as part of NBA All-Star 2019. 2019 NBA All-Stars Nikola Jokić (Denver Nuggets; Serbia) and Nikola Vučević (Orlando Magic; Montenegro), 2018 No. 1 overall draft pick and former BWB camper Deandre Ayton (Phoenix Suns; Bahamas; BWB Global 2016), and 2017-18 All-Rookie Second Team member Bogdan Bogdanović (Sacramento Kings; Serbia) will coach the selected campers .
Players and coaches will lead the campers through a variety of activities on and off the court, including movement efficiency, skill development stations, shooting and skills competitions, 5-on-5 games, and daily life skills seminars focusing on health, leadership and communication. One boy and one girl will be named BWB Global Camp MVPs at the conclusion of the three-day camp.
The campers will attend MTN DEW ICE Rising Stars, State Farm All-Star Saturday Night, and the 68 th NBA All-Star Game at Spectrum Center.

Had myself a little denial of service today. Ran a Nessus scan for the first time on our main Splunk indexer/web interface. The scan caused Splunkweb to shut down...

Something I should tune with Nessus to scale back the requests?
I run nessus daily on the splunk server without any issues. Perhaps you have a very aggressive profile? Can you share that?
My scan was really nothing special- one that I've run on dozens of other servers. Safe checks, moderate simultaneous threads, etc. I'm going to give it another go later today to see what happens.
Could this be OS specific?
Yeah, looks like it may be a Solaris x64 issue. I have a Splunk engineer researching for me (my Solaris-fu is not strong).
Solaris has an nofiles ulimit of 256 by default. Other unixes have larger defaults.
There's a variety of possible responses we could have to this sort of thing:
Does this cure seem better than the poison? It introduces new problems.
confirmed that it is fixed in 4.1.5 (skipped 4.1.4)

As we approach December, more and more companies are releasing their Christmas Advertising Campaigns. These campaigns have become commonplace at this time of the year, and adverts from Christmas campaign giants such as John Lewis, Aldi, Mcdonald's, Sainsbury's and Marks and Spencer are highly anticipated by consumers. Not only do these advertisements create festive cheer and increase excitement during the lead up to Christmas, but they also work as an effective PR tool.
Although not every company has the budget or means to produce such extravagant Christmas campaigns, we can incorporate the PR tactics used and apply them to a smaller scale PR campaigns.
1. Get people talking
These advertisements are so successful in gaining publicity as they get people talking. One of the best and cheapest forms of PR is word of mouth. If you can develop a campaign that creates a conversation, then a lot of the PR is done for you. If executed well, campaigns have the ability to go viral overnight. Think outside the box when creating a campaign, ideas that have never been executed before have the ability to go the extra mile.
2. Utilise Social Media
As mentioned in the previous point, social media is an excellent tool in promoting you campaign. Through the power of social media, it has become easier to share content and gain publicity. Social media gives your company access to a huge audience and if a campaign is successful, social media has the ability to carry this success to greater lengths, and to reach more people. Social media also allows you to interact with you audience and build a relationship with those interacting with your campaign.
3. On theme with upcoming events
Christmas advertising campaigns work so well as they are on theme with upcoming events. Utilising public holidays in a campaign is a brilliant way to give it that extra push, as it is already in the forefront of consumers minds. Christmas is the best example for this, especially as there is now such a focus on larger companies' campaigns and the competitive nature that comes along with this. Other public holidays that work well in pushing campaigns are New Year, Easter and Halloween.
4. Making it a yearly thing
High anticipation has been created for these brands due to their Christmas adverts year on year. Although this is a slower PR tactic, if your audience know you run a campaign at a specific time of the year, it will be anticipated. Bear in mind, you don't want to become predictable. When making a campaign a yearly occurrence, insure there is something different about each one, to avoid becoming boring or similar.

On Tuesday Nov. 13th Green Drinks NYC joined forces with Occupy Sandy to raise funds, collect supplies and most importantly, increase awareness about relief efforts taking place in Staten Island, New Jersey and Rockaway. There's tremendous synergy between Green Drinks environmentally consciousness local networking, and the activism of Occupy Sandy, especially given the context of a disaster related to climate change. The money collected was donated to the Food Bank of NY, and the supplies collected were distributed by the Occupy Sandy team. Green Drinks Seattle also joined in, raising $600 for Food Bank NY on the same night.
Three members of Occupy Sandy; Michael Badger, Rebecca Manski and Robert Pluma attended, and addressed the group. Occupy Sandy grew out of the Occupy Wall Street movement, which despite being out of the limelight since vacating Zuccotti Park, has not gone anywhere. The reason they were able to mobilize so quickly after Hurricane Sandy is they've been developing interconnected web-based communications hubs since Occupy started October 17, 2011. Now, with several of these hubs feeding data from each hub's blog and twitter feed, as well as feeds from the Red Cross and FEMA, they could update information, communicate needs, and deploy resources, much more quickly and effectively than most governmental relief organizations. In fact FEMA has been looking to them for help in coordinating their efforts.
In addition, Occupy Sandy had the brilliant idea of using Amazon's wedding registry to choose and update lists of items they need in the field. Rather than figuring out how to build an e-commerce or donationware platform for their sites, they used a tool already in place that suited their needs. http://www.amazon.com/registry/wedding/32TAA123PJR42 UPS has been helping by expediting materials, even putting Occupy stickers on some of their vans according to Robert Pluma.
Occupy Sandy volunteers have become a lifeline for scores of people, many of whom still have no power, or heat, or a place to live. There's still a need for blankets, winter coats, food, and other supplies. If you are able to make a monetary contribution, purchase supplies, or even more importantly, volunteer your time, please visithttp://interoccupy.net/occupysandy/ .
The Food Bank of NY can also use your help, http://www.foodbanknyc.org/ they've had trucks on the road since the storm hit, delivering critically needed food and water to New Yorkers, providing 1.5 million meals to those affected by the hurricane. More than 1,500 volunteers have served the Food Bank and communities impacted by Sandy, and over $2 million have been raised for the Hurricane Sandy response effort.
Green Drinks NYC volunteers and attendees chipped in on Tues November 13th. But the only way an organization like Occupy Sandy, or the Food Bank of NY, can continue to do such remarkable work is with the ongoing support of people who are willing and able to chip in. The road to recovery in the wake of Hurricane Sandy is going to be a long one. Everyone's support is greatly needed, and greatly appreciated.

Heart and Soul: The Story of America and African Americans
by Kadir Nelson
Published by Balzer + Bray / HarperCollins, 2011
108 pages
ISBN: trade 9780061730740
Ages 8-14
Most folks my age and complexion dont speak much about the past. Sometimes its just too hard to talk about nothing we want to share with you young folk. As the unnamed narrator of Kadir Nelsons stirring work continues, she bares her heart and soul to recount the oral history thats been passed down in her own family from pre-slavery times to the present day, and in doing so traces the history of African Americans. The narrative technique gives readers a view of history that is both sweeping and intimate. Every page of text is accompanied by a full-page, hauntingly realistic painting. Some are of well-known historical figures such as Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, and others are anonymous men and women who represent the scope of African American lives. Each one shows determination in facial expression and body posture, a resolve to move their families forward. The personal story culminates with the elderly narrator voting in 2008 for the man who would become the first African American president. © Cooperative Children's Book Center

Muammar Gaddafi is gone – well, nearly. He is still kicking and screaming, but gone he is. Will he be missed? Of course, he will, but only for a while before a similar fellow replaces him. You see the tragi-comedy of some of our politics needs a clown or villain (preferably a combination of both) to keep the show on the road.
This is how he will be missed. For 42 years Gaddafi's eccentricities have become a fixture on the world stage. They could be annoying, but also amusing, even profitable.
Take, for instance, his huge entourages and the all-female body guards that had become all too familiar on his foreign visits. They would sweep into town and literally take it over. For the duration they were in town, they became a useful distraction from the otherwise dull daily routine of survival. Occasionally his security fought with that of the host country to the amusement of the local people. It was always thought that he and his entourage left huge sums of money behind.
Speaking of which cash, Gaddafi is reputed to have liberally splashed so much of it around to buy influence or to cause mischief. Many will miss his largesse – some sorely.
Lovers of fashion will surely miss Gaddafi's flamboyant and colourful robes and matching caps. They offered a break from the dark and grey business suits of Africa's most powerful men. The only woman among them is, of course, distinguished by her equally colourful and elegant robes.
Admittedly some of Gaddafi's brown robes were rather dull. They looked more like bark cloth and, when he wore them and met his visitors in his famous Bedouin tent, reminded one of a witchdoctor in a dark, grass-thatched hut mumbling some unintelligible things to patients seeking supernatural intervention. Bark cloth has a darker connection – in some traditions it is a burial cloth.
The robes are gone. The tent is gone. Fashion designers and makers of luxury products for the Gaddafi clan have lost some of their richest customers and must be counting their losses – before another clan comes up with its own design orders.
Among those who will miss him most must be African Chiefs. These are a relic from the past, kept conveniently by African leaders for a variety of selfish reasons and only brought out at national celebrations to lend colour and pomp to the event. Of late he had taken them under his wing as part of his design to be Africa's supreme chief. They, too, must be mourning the largesse that will no longer be coming their way.
I dare say, even the West, which has pounded him out of Libya and may be out of existence all together, will miss hm. They love an adversary like Gaddafi. He gives them the excuse to win allies and protégés, and test their weapons and military strategies in a real war situation. The show of force is also a reminder to some upstart rulers that only a few bulls still rule the kraal.
The rest of us who love braggadocio, bluster and extravagant speech will mourn their loss – until another master at hyperbole of all sorts comes along. He ranted against rats who have now routed him. In this he has been in illustrious company whom he might soon rejoin.
Remember one Saddam Hussein and his talk of the mother of all wars that never was? Or Idi Amin who claimed he feared no one but God and to prove his claim drove through the streets of Kampala at the height of Uganda's war with Tanzania and then quietly slipped out of the capital?
The media will, above all else, feel Gaddafi's loss deeply. They love someone who will give them a good story any time of day. And Gaddafi always obliged. The feeling of loss will not be for long, though. If they cannot find a quick replacement, the media will create one. You can count on that because there must always be a story to tell.
The free show from Libya is coming to an end. In Gaddafi's place might come some serious, nondescript, boring nation builders with no entertainment value. But who cares whether the petro-dollars will be used to build Libya and not to fund insurgents, fuel subversion or serve one man's whimsical needs if the result is only boring TV and commentators and experts frantically searching for fresh areas of "study"?
And will other African presidents have time to work for their people now that they do not have to watch their backs all the time? And what shall we do with all those spies we have trained to ensure the security of presidential backs? I am not certain they can be retooled to do other national service duties. I suppose for this we will need experts from (probably new) allies and friends.
Shall we miss the Brother Leader? Yes, of course, in different ways and for different reasons, and the world will be duller for his departure.

We all know rosé is The Summer Sipper. The dry pink wine pops up on nearly every restaurant and bar menu these days and you'll be hard-pressed to find a California winery that doesn't produce a rosé of tempranillo, grenache or another varietal.
Now the rosy wine is finding its way into cocktails, too — helped along by mixology mavens such as Ashley Rose Conway, Oakland's Craft & Cocktail blogger whose new book "Celebrate Rosé" (Weldon Owen, $20) was released this week. It's the second volume for Conway, whose 2017 "The Art of the Bar Cart" (Chronicle Books) made us covet a piece of cocktail furniture we'd never even considered before.
Her new book offers up 40 cocktail recipes for everything from a Rosé Vesper to a Strawberry Rosé Punch — made with strawberries, fresh grapefruit and Cocchi Americano — that has us dragging out the punch bowl. (If only we had a bar cart to put that on.) Naturally, we had questions …
We hear you've been interested in cocktails since … childhood??
My father used to own a bar and he worked with a lot of spirits brands to develop recipes for companies and restaurants. He did that from home and I thought it was cool that he got paid to do that. I moved to the Bay Area 7 years ago; there's such a wealth of knowledge and great people mixing and I learned so much. I worked for spirits companies, made drinks at friends' parties and four years ago started Craft & Cocktails.
We know rosé is crazy popular. Where did you get the idea to use it in cocktails?
The ever-popular frosé! Two years ago, it exploded on the internet and in bars. I definitely saw the potential. Champagne cocktails? A French 75 with sparkling rosé. Sangria? Wine, but rosé. I wondered how far you could go — and I found out you can go really far with it! The book is 50-50 twists on classics and ideas I developed for my site or friends' parties.
What would you serve at a summery garden party?
I would definitely serve the Strawberry Rosé Punch. It's such a crowd pleaser. It's really refreshing, but still really well balanced with Cocchi Americano. Cocchi has bitter components to it, so it'll help be that backbone, but the punch is not bitter like a Negroni. And it's in a punch bowl so if you're throwing a party, people can help themselves.
Other favorite rosé cocktails?
One of my absolute favorites is the Smoky Melon. You get a lot of rosé, notes of watermelon, mezcal and rosé syrup for more concentrated flavor. I think it's really fun. And the What's the Tea Old-Fashioned is based on a chamomile tea old-fashioned at the (now-closed) Two Sisters Bar and Books in Hayes Valley.
Speaking of bars, what are some of your favorite Bay Area cocktail spots?
I love Copper and Spoon in Oakland and Here's How, a new bar in Oakland from Jennifer Colliau. In San Francisco, Pacific Cocktail Haven; they have really great ingredients, things like pandan and calamansi, Southeast Asian ingredients. And True Laurel, a bar and restaurant in the Mission district.
Favorite California wineries for rosé?
Reeve Wines in Dry Creek, Scribe Winery in Sonoma, Copain in Healdsburg are my top favorites, but every winery is making rosés these days using different varietals.
We HAVE to ask. Your bio bills you as "a cocktail shaker and piñata maker." Say what?
(Laughs) I have a side business. I make custom piñatas for parties, spirits brands. I bring cocktails. I bring the party.
Strawberry Rosé Punch
Serves 8 to 10
This grapefruit and strawberry drink for a crowd is bright and refreshing. Cocchi Americano, an aperitif wine that contains an element called quinine that gives tonic water its bitter flavor, adds interesting dimension to this drink. Serve this pretty punch in your favorite punch bowl and let your guests serve themselves while you mingle. With jewel-like garnishes, it becomes a statement piece presented on a bar cart, buffet or table.
4½ ounces simple syrup
6 ounces Cocchi Americano
6 strawberries
4½ ounces fresh lemon juice
1 bottle (750 ml) rosé
6 ounces grapefruit juice
6 ounces grapefruit soda
Ice block or ring
½ grapefruit, sliced
1 lemon, sliced
4 strawberries, sliced
Handful of mint leaves
Handful of edible flowers
In a shaker, combine simple syrup, Cocchi Americano, 6 strawberries and lemon juice. Muddle, then shake with ice. Using a Hawthorne strainer and tea strainer, double-strain the muddled mixture into a punch bowl with an ice block or ring. Add rosé, grapefruit juice and grapefruit soda to the bowl and stir. Garnish with fresh fruit slices, mint leaves and edible flowers. Serve with a ladle into punch glasses.

Difference between the Dialects in Belgium
Dutch as spoken and written in Flanders. By this, it means a language that is Dutch in its written form, with a grammar identical to the Dutch of the Netherlands, but with a preference for specific words and expressions that are described as "Zuid-Nederlands" in the dictionary.
(By the way, the definition of "Flanders" for this purpose is the Dutch-speaking northern part of Belgium, not restricted to the regions of East and West Flanders.)
The regional dialect is spoken by people in the area of Northern France known as "French Flanders." West-Flemish dialect is now being taught in schools to preserve the local culture.
The definition of Flemish is that it is Dutch when spoken by a native of the Dutch-speaking common in Belgium. Dutch is officially spoken in many countries, and in each of these countries, several dialects exist. As such in Flanders (the above mentioned Dutch part of Belgium) several dialects occur. These dialects differ as much from each other as from those from the Netherlands. For instance, people from the coastal area can easily understand their Netherlands' neighbor much better than they would understand somebody from Antwerp or Limburg (Belgian or the Netherlands). Don't forget that these dialects not only vary from each other in pronunciation, but also in the practice of different words for the same item. There are several good references for studies on the internet into these dialects. So to conclude, Flemish is not a dialect, but a conglomerate of a mass of dialects all based on the Dutch language and Flemish to English translation isn't an easy task.
The most noticeable difference when speaking with or listening to talkers of Dutch and Flemish is the pronunciation. Even to the new ear, the two dialects seem very different. While Flemish leads towards French pronunciations, Dutch in the Netherlands has more of an English touch.
For instance, the word national is pronounced Nasional in Flanders and natzional in the Netherlands. To Dutch ears, the Flemish sound a little old-fashioned while to the Flemish, the Dutch sound a bit rude because of this stylistic difference.
One of the more surprising differences between Dutch and Flemish is the use of informal language. Over the times, the formal U (you) has come out of practice in the Netherlands to the point of extinction, affecting most Dutch speakers to opt preferably for the informal je (you) when speaking to strangers.
Both languages are alike, but the differences are sometimes so significant that, for the Dutch and the Flemish, they could seem to be two separate styles. They have a hard time getting each other at times.
The pitch of the language in Flanders is more melodic than in the Netherlands. The Dutch tend to use more staccato, and the intonation falls more often at the end. Flemish is much softer, rounder and regarding tone is the intonation at the end of a sentence often raised.
Language Areas in Belgium
Belgium is divided into two areas – Flanders to the north and Wallonia to the south. To make it more difficult, the Walloons speak French but do not acknowledge themselves French, and the Flemish speaks Dutch but does not accept themselves Dutch. There is also a small area of German-speaking Belgians on the German boundary.
Bi-lingual parts of Belgium
As a consequence of this division, many road symbols and other signs around Belgium are printed in both Dutch and French. German, one of the three formal languages, is much less common and only addressed by less population.
In Brussels, the primary language spoken is French but like many center cities these days is multilingual, maybe even more so given it is the home of the EU and the high estimate of international officials and representatives who live there. All public assistance and data are in both French and Dutch.

Wilmslow lost a game of two halves on Saturday, succumbing to a Vale of Lune fightback after being ahead 23-12 at the break.
The intensity and hard hits of both teams was shown early but Wilmslow quickly got into their stride with devastating patterns of play leading to captain Mike Black being held up over the line.
However, Wilmslow's man-of-the-match Ed Armitage went over in the corner for the first score.
Vale of Lune hit back quickly through James Hodder, who finished off a strong move for a try converted by James Moore.
The Wolves nosed ahead after Mike Clifford won the ball at a lineout and a flowing combination of driving forwards and punching runs from the backs saw Ben Day run through to score.
The Wolves always looked threatening but had only two Armitage penalties to show for their dominance.
Wolves' try of the day was created by Oli McCall, who came into the line at speed to set up Hughes to go under the posts, Armitage tagging on the two.
But Vale then went on to score 39 unanswered points before the Wolves would cross the tryline again.
A Vale scrum deep in Wilmslow's half saw ill-discipline lead to a penalty from which Vale capitalised to score in the corner.
Early in the second half Wilmslow's Craig Cooper had to leave the pitch with a blood injury. In his absence Armitage kicked a penalty.
Two events turned the tide for Vale as winger James Hodder received the ball deep in his own 22. After beating numerous would-be tacklers he exchanged passes with a team-mate and touched down.
The second was the yellow card shown to Vale second row Wallbank for his use of the elbow against Clifford, a decision that saw the remaining 14 Lune men turn the game around.
Aided by Wilmslow mistakes and penalties Vale surged ahead with slick handling between forwards and backs.
Wolves were starved of possession in the three-quarters for the whole half, but they replied with 10 minutes to go.
With 17 points to make up, the charge started.
Their momentum was lost when an awkward tackle by Jordon Dorrington on the charging Clifford, resulted in a worrying 15-minute stoppage.
After a yellow card for prop James Hesketh for preventing the release, the prop-less Wolves made the mistake of requesting a scrum but it had to be a passive scrummage, which suited the visitors no end.
Some justice was served though, as the Wolves backs regained some of their first-half magic, setting up Jack Harrison to score with last act of game.
This was too little, too late and the better side won on the day.
ONCE again the Vikings came second to a strong Macclesfield Lions side. However, both the Wolves Development team and Ravens continued their winning ways.

When the time comes that you decide you want to sell your home, the question you might ask yourself is, "Should I list my home with a Realtor or try to do for sale by owner?"There is no right or wrong answer here. However, I wanted to give you 11 questions to ask yourself to help you make an educated decision.
- Do you have access to accurate data regarding selling prices, square footage, floor plans and amenities of other homes that have sold in your surrounding area within the last 6 months?
- Do you know how long it has been taking to sell a home in your area?
- Will you be available to answer phone calls and show your home to prospective buyers?
- Will you be able to screen prospects to make sure they are qualified (or worse yet, thieves)?
- Do you have a plan to market your home so people know it's for sale?
- Can you handle criticism if negative comments are made about your home?
- Are you able to negotiate the highest sales price—either on the phone or face-to-face?
- Do you have access to purchase contracts and all state-required disclosures?
- Do you know how to obtain title insurance, deeds and any other legal documents needed to transfer ownership?
- Will you be available to meet appraisers, inspectors, and contractors during the process?
- Do you understand all the fees you will be charged at closing and exactly how much you will end up with?
If you decide that doing a sale by owner is not for you and you'd rather list your home with an agent, please contact us because we can refer at least three real estate agents for you to interview and choose the one that you like the best.
However if after going through all those and you're still up for the challenge then great! This article on real estate photography mistakes to avoid should give you even more info on how to successfully market and sell your home.

Some brides adopt the subtlest hint of a theme – a whisper of a winter wedding, a flicker of a fairytale feel – and some brides go to town. In case you're wondering, today's 1920s Great Gatsby-inspired wedding is very much the latter, and when we first saw these breath-taking photographs we could barely contain our glee.
The lovely Victoria and William set out to wow with a wedding that would pay tribute to Fitzgerald's compelling love story – with all of the romance and none of the tragedy, obviously – as well as recreating the decadent party vibes and stunning 1920s styling of Baz Luhrmann's 2013 film version.
Looking at these stunning photographs, I'm a believer – Gatsby and Daisy are very much alive and living a beautiful alternative reality after getting hitched in an Eliza Jane Howell frock and a striking bespoke suit. And they danced the night away – the Charleston, of course. Our very favourite type of ending – a happy one.
With images by Todd & Moore Photography.
victoria says: We were engaged on the 30th January 2015. William took me away to the Black Swan at Oldstead, a Michelin Star restaurant run by the successful Great British Menu-winning chef Tommy Banks. Dinner was an elaborate tasting menu and, as one of the dessert courses was being served, the waitress placed an open ring box in the middle of a display of Douglas fir. Out of an ethereal mist created by dry ice, the ring – a marquis solitaire diamond – revealed itself. It all happened in the blink of an eye, and was a huge surprise – one that William had clearly put a lot of thought and planning into.
We were married on the 18th March 2017. My sister was to be married in March 2016 and so we decided to wait until the following March and keep tradition going as my parents also married in March almost 50 years ago!
We were married at Goldsborough Church: an ancient parish church in the village of Goldsborough, North Yorkshire, and adjacent to Goldsborough Hall where we held the reception. We chose Goldsborough as it had connections to Harewood where we live and, as we were planning a 1920s Great Gatsby-style wedding, we felt it would fit perfectly. We also wanted a venue where we could have exclusive use for the day and somewhere our close family and friends could stay overnight.
The 1920s Great Gatsby theme stemmed from the fact that we wanted to do something totally different and that no one would expect. We both love the film and its opulent party style, and so an idea was born.
Everything was inspired by the Art Deco period, so black and gold in the main with lots of feathers, pearls and orchids.
I wore a 1920s style Eliza Jane Howell dress. I purchased it from Bridal Rogue Gallery in Harrogate. I also carried a fan made from ivory ostrich feathers made by Kathrine at Fleur Adamo. It was befitting of the era and looked stunning.
William wore a specially designed three-piece suit by Roodduke Bespoke Tailoring, York.
The bridesmaids wore 1920s sequin flapper dresses in black, silver and gold with feather boas, long black gloves, feathered headbands and seamed tights. They looked absolutely amazing!
The groomsmen all wore black trousers, gold paisley velvet smoking jackets with black lapels, a white shirts and sequined gold and black dickie bows. They were the perfect complement to the bridesmaids' outfits.
We stayed at Goldsborough Hall on the eve of our wedding and, as the church is just across the grounds, we walked there for the service.
Todd & Moore were our photographers; two amazingly talented ladies who put you totally at ease in front of the camera. We chose Julie and Jill because their gallery was full of candid photos rather than lots of staged group shots – exactly what we were looking for. They worked tirelessly on the day and absolutely delivered.
The Red Arrows flew over the grounds twice while we were having photos taken, purely by coincidence, but a nice touch nevertheless!
Décor-wise, we worked with Kathrine of Fleur Adamo, again for the table decorations, which were all designed with the 1920s Great Gatsby theme very much in mind: lots of ostrich feathers, pearls and orchids. Her attention to detail was astonishing.
We used Event Furniture for our chair hire and they were very helpful, providing a seamless service. Cristel at Shindig Events also went over and above to ensure we had everything we needed.
We designed the cake in a Great Gatsby style ourselves and then worked with Blossom Tree Cake Company in Harrogate, who created it just as we imagined. The result was stunning. We had various sized tiers made of sponge in different flavours: passion fruit, lime and lemon. We also had red velvet cake pops decorated in an Art Deco style as our favours.
We wanted to make the meal memorable and a celebration of Yorkshire, so we served a five course Yorkshire-themed meal with accompanying red and white wine.
The starter was Lowna dairy goat's cheese and honey mousse with gingerbread and soft garden herb salad, followed by a blackcurrant sorbet. Our main course was Yorkshire beef fillet and 12 hour-braised short rib with beef and horseradish bonbon, garden vegetables and grain mustard jus. The dessert was Goldsborough Hall Yorkshire Mess with rhubarb, cinder toffee cream and macerated strawberries. We then served tea, coffee and petit fours.
We booked a live five-piece band, The Charleston Charlies, for our entertainment, who were absolutely brilliant. They both performed and sang a variety of songs from the 1920s era. To accompany the band, we also hired flapper dance troupe The Funky Feathers, who performed with the band and also gave us a Charleston lesson!
Following our wedding, we would definitely recommend our choice of venue to others – it's simply stunning, with superb food and lovely people to work with.
Looking back, I couldn't possibly chose one favourite element from the day: I loved every minute and every time I look at the photos I want to go and do it all again!
We visited South Africa for a honeymoon of three parts. We started with a safari on a private game lodge, followed by a trip on the Blue Train (similar to the Orient Express) and then finished with a week at Camps Bay near Cape Town. A great country with so many different experiences to be had. We'll definitely return.
My top tip for other Brides Up North would be – lists, lists and more lists! During the planning, we also trawled through Brides Up North for possible venues and visited lots and lots of wedding fairs for inspiration too!

I've found a new YouTube trainer! I practically spent all day in bed yesterday. Again. This time the depression was augmented with physical symptoms, first a stomach ache (increasing in frequency) & then a headache. I scrounged a couple tums & that helped the stomach ache, but then I got the headache (VERY regular). I had to wait until I ate again to take any ibuprofren, especially right on the tail of an upset stomach.
Tried making an organic brownie mix veganized. I've never heard anyone say the Follow Your Heart vegan egg smells like shit, and I've watched several video reviews! It's so gross. I'd never try making an omelet with that shit. The brownies took forever to cook and were only so-so, but I took a couple advil and when that didn't work, a tranquilizer.
Today there's nothing leftover that's exciting to eat and we don't have any special plans together for the holiday weekend, so I guess I'm making the heinous half hour trek down sidewalk-less Dosch Road to take myself out for lunch. I'd attempted to order some vegan goodies from Amazon to have on hand, and that got returned as undeliverable. Every so often a new driver can't find the address, on the top of a dead-end drive. So I'll think of my lunch as a replacement.
I need something super yummy to cheer me up and I desperately need to get out of the house.
I think I'm going to go eat a fucking murdered cow cheeseburger and have a vodka martini.
Anyway… I hadn't had any wine or beer Saturday and I didn't have much at all Friday, so… I need to do something nice & reaffirming for myself, whether or not it's practical. And I did get up early today & had a KILLER workout.
I've found a new YouTube trainer. I was watching this last night, as the tranquilizer was kicking in, thinking it looked insane. For the first time I can remember I was wondering if I could even do it. Yes! I left off the vest though!!! This woman is a fucking machine. There are a million, billion push-ups in this pyramid.
It was a good one to do on such a cold day. No problem with this type of workout to start out & finish wearing a substantial, long sleeve shirt.
Vacation HIIT Pyramid and You vs You
The set took me a total of about 75min. There's a moment in the middle she tells you to pause for a couple minutes for a break, and then I lost power and had to run upstairs for my cord. I added some jogging stairs!
Closed with about 15min easy stretch.
- I haven't done an over 700 burn in awhile! I must be nervous about losing my exercise spot downstairs. Guesstimate is 3 weeks but I'm betting it'll be 6. I might move my office futon into my bedroom and work out upstairs. It'd be the neatest space and I've got my speakers up here.
- I did much better on the pistol squats that I'd have thought! No props.

There are several good online journals that publish articles that are paginated separately from each other, rather than running the pagination continuously through a given issue (or volume). Just a couple are the HTS Teologiese Studies and Scriptura (at least in recent volumes).
I've tended to treat these as though they all appeared at the beginning of a given issue (all starting with page "1"). But, SBL Press has clarified that this isn't their most preferred way to treat this situation.
For articles in online journals that aren't paginated in series, the preferred note form for the first reference to this type of article is:
[Author name], "[Title]," [Journal] [Journal volume] ([Journal volume year]): art. [Article number in the journal volume], ["p." or "pp." according to whether one or multiple pages is cited] [Page number], [Full DOI URL as a live link].
Thus, one example would be:
Ntozakhe Simon Cezula, "Waiting for the Lord: The Fulfilment of the Promise of Land in the Old Testament as a Source of Hope," Scr.(S) 116 (2017): art. 3, pp. 1–15, http://dx.doi.org/10.7833/116-1-1304.
Subsequent references are constructed in the same way as they would be for any continuously paginated journal article.
To get the initial citation above from this bibliographic record, I had to adjust the default Zotero output for the SBL style by: (a) making ".3" into "art. 3,"—although this article isn't in an "issue," this seemed the best way to store it in the database—(b) adding "pp." before the page references, and (c) adding ", http://dx.doi.org/10.7833/116-1-1304" after the page reference.
The corresponding bibliography format would be:
Cezula, Ntozakhe Simon. "Waiting for the Lord: The Fulfilment of the Promise of Land in the Old Testament as a Source of Hope." Scr.(S) 116 (2017): art. 3, pp. 1–15. http://dx.doi.org/10.7833/116-1-1304.
For additional information, see both Electronic Journals with Individually Paginated Articles and HTS Teologiese Studies/Theological Studies on the SBL Handbook of Style blog.
I wonder if there may need to be a new item or data type created in Zotero to support constructing this type of citation without this additional massaging.
Or, do you other Zotero users have other insights about ways of getting closer to output above with the software and the SBL style as they stand?
Update: Brenton Wiernik suggested the following excellent workaround via Twitter.
Thanks so much for your thoughts @bmwiernik! Using "Pages" for "art. 3" in my example is a great idea. I was able to get the output @SBLPress is wanting by then adding ", pp. 1–15, https://t.co/MCo4KhdKPY" in the citation suffix field.
— David Stark (@JDavidStark) September 19, 2018
It would be ideal for the style to add "art." and "pp." But, I have no experience to speak of with CSL. So, using this hack is definitely a good option until a corresponding style update comes along.
— David Stark (@JDavidStark) September 19, 2018
In the Twitter discussion above, the URL I mention should be the DOI URL. But, Twitter has presented a shortened version automatically.
Discussion of this citation situation is also now pending in the Zotero forums.

Baby Miley Cyrus was born 23 years ago and was just the cutest little bundle of joy.
Billy Ray must have been so proud of his little darlin'.
"Welcome to the world, sweet pea," he said to her in that moment (I'm guessing).
He even tweeted this throwback photo to celebrate her special day.
AW, LOOK AT THAT LITTLE FACE. Also please take note of how sweaty Billy Ray is.
Anyway, we all know Miley got her start on "Hannah Montana."
That show was the greatest thing to ever happen to my childhood.
I remember coming home after school and being filled with excitement as I watched the double life of Miley Stewart and Hannah Montana.
"It really is the best of both worlds," I probably said to myself, as I hummed along to the opening theme song.
Now, unless you live under a rock (or haven't turned on your TV screen since 2009), you know Miley Cyrus has undergone a dramatic transformation over the years.
It's sometimes hard to believe the Miley today and the Miley who played Hannah Montana are the same person. But they are, I promise.
In honor of her 23rd birthday, let's look back at some reasons "Hannah Montana" was the greatest show in the history of television and the best thing to ever happen to your life.
Thank you, Miley, for guiding us through childhood. We couldn't have survived it without you.
1. Miley just really nailed what it's like to be a teenager. We're all going through sh*t. Life's hard. She gets it.
2. She was always super impulsive and spontaneous. Any adventure she went on, we were right there with her.
3. She wore the coolest outfits and had the funniest friends. You watched the show so religiously they felt like they were your friends, too.
4. She was living TWO SEPARATE LIVES. It was so cool how she could balance being a superstar AND a normal teenage girl. Miley really taught us it's totally possible to take on anything.
5. She was always blunt and told it like it is. Life should be simple and Miley knew that.
6. She got hurt a lot. And when she did, our hearts would break with hers. She showed us how to stand back up after you get dragged down. She had tough skin and she taught us how to be our strongest selves.
7. Miley taught us to always be honest with our friends, even if the truth hurts. This girl is an inspiration.
8. She was always true to herself. She stood up for what she believed in, no matter what. You probably even used this quote in your high school yearbook. (...or was that just me?)
9. She understood the frustration of getting into an argument with a family member. Ugh, siblings. It's OK, Miley knows how to deal.
10. But she also reminded us family is forever and should always come first.
11. When things got super complicated with friendships and first crushes, Miley was there to show us the way.
12. All of her best memories were made with others. She showed us not to take our loved ones for granted and to really value the people closest to us.
13. ALSO, her style was always on point. My tween self would have died to have her closet.
14. And let's talk about her expressions. The girl was very animated.
15. Seriously, she was the best at voicing her opinions without having to say anything at all. It's all in the eyes. And the pout.
16. Things would get super emotional, though, like when she took off her wig to reveal herself. She was so brave.
17. But on a more lighthearted note, this show knew the value of sleep. That's enough of a reason to be a winner in my heart.
18. She also taught us a dance to remember every bone in the body, so yes, the show was very educational.
19. I'd also like to give a shoutout to the "Hoedown Throwdown." If you don't have this dance memorized, it's not too late.
20. OK, and the songs were actually the greatest. "Who Said" is still my jam today. Try pregaming to the "Hannah Montana" soundtrack, it'll change your life.
21. A lot of the songs also had really important messages like "Nobody's Perfect." YOU'RE RIGHT, HANNAH. WE ARE ALL JUST HUMANS, YOU AND ME.
22. Miley was just super relatable. She was always getting herself into sticky situations and made countless mistakes. She taught us how to grow and learn from those experiences because those are the moments that shape us. YOU TAUGHT US DEEP SH*T, MILES.
23. In the end, "Hannah Montana" was a life saver and we couldn't be more grateful. No matter what role she's in, she's just being Miley, and we love her for that.

Healing Hands The Power of Touch
I had never really thought about the importance of my hands until recently. At Tillamook County General Hospital, where I work as a chaplain, each year we honor our nursing staff and ask God to bless their hands in conjunction with National Nurses Week.
As I thought about those who would participate in our Blessing of the Hands ceremony, I wondered what I could say that would make a lasting impact on their lives. What I didn't realize was that the story I shared would change my way of thinking about my own hands.
About 20 years ago in Los Angeles, Calif., I met a young man, Juan,* who hailed from my homeland of El Salvador. I noticed immediately that he didn't have any hands. One day he shared his incredible story with me.
As Juan was headed to church with a cousin, four men—one of them his uncle—ambushed them and demanded that the two young men join the country's rebel cause or die. Juan's cousin attempted to run away and was killed on the spot. Juan fell at his uncle's feet and begged for his life, but the other men kept yelling at his uncle to kill Juan.
"I saw the machete coming down toward my head," Juan recalled. "I lifted up my hands to cover my head and immediately felt something warm running down my body. I realized it was blood from my severed limbs."
When Juan's uncle saw that he had missed Juan's head and cut off both his hands, he panicked. As Juan lay on the ground crying, his uncle and the other men ran away.
Through Juan, God led me to seriously think about my own hands and what a blessing they are to me! How important are your hands to you? So many times we use them without thinking, taking them for granted. We forget that our hands are a gift from our Creator, and what we do with them affects our lives and those of others.
Everyday our hospital, hospice and home-care nursing staff members impact patients' lives. Their healing touch—along with that of our physicians, chaplains and other staff members—is a blessing to our patients as reflected by the comments we receive. I hear things like: "I love the nurses at this hospital, they are so wonderful," and "I appreciate the thoughtfulness of your hospice and home-care nurses."
As a chaplain, I have the privilege of talking with a lot of patients and their families, both in our hospital and out in the community. During these encounters, I shake hands, I offer a reassuring touch, or I hold hands. I have found that a simple touch can be very healing. Our hands may not heal every physical illness, but our hands are making a big difference in the lives that we touch.
Today, thank God for your hands and what they can do, for they are a blessing.
* Juan is a pseudonym
