Praise and Criticism for Common Standards, Test Guidelines
A commentary by Grant Wiggins of "Understanding By Design" fame is generating some interesting debate on our website. Wiggins critiques the common math standards and finds them lacking. Check out the comments section of the piece, which has some spirited back-and-forth, and also some resources created by the lead writers of the standards.
Those of you who are interested in this conversation might want to check out some love recently penned for the standards by math researcher Steven Leinwand, who urges Virginia to reconsider its decision not to adopt them.
Another recent piece of interest comes from the Fordham Institute's Flypaper blog. Kathleen Porter-Magee solicited feedback from W. Stephen Wilson, a professor of math and education at Johns Hopkins University, on the math content specifications recently released by the SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium. That's one of the two state groups that are designing tests for the common standards. To say that Wilson finds the content specifications lacking would be an understatement. It's worth noting, too, that Wilson served on the working group that wrote the math standards.
For those of you on the ELA side of things, Porter-Magee reflects on the content frameworks released by the other consortium, PARCC, in an earlier post here. She examines the SBAC content specifications in ELA in a separate post here.

Is there Hope for First-Episode Schizophrenics?
There are first-episode cases that recover from schizophrenia.
The majority of first-episode schizophrenia (FES) cases that undergo advanced orthomolecular treatment (nutrient therapy) are good responders but, that being said, not all cases respond.
The trend that I see clinically is that those on neuroleptic medication respond in general less favorably because neuroleptic medication sedates areas of the brain in need of nutrient support and correction.
We like to be proactive in our approach to treating first-episode cases and start nutritional therapy as early as possible.
Our case study series is aimed at revealling the response of patients that undergo advanced orthomolecular treatment. Implementing the correct nutrients in these patients' nutrition regimen is key.

Local Ojibwe Agree on Federal Settlement
(AP) A deal that would right a wrong that ocurred in the 1800's would benefit the Leech Lake and Mille Lacs band of Ojibwe.
Federal legislation is making headway in Washington that would release $28 million to six northern MN bands including the two local bands.
The settlement is for unscrupulous deals that drastically reduced the land controlled by the native Americans by 1900. The money was orginally awarded in 1999, but has taken this long for the tribes to reach a deal on how to divide the funds.
Senator Al Franken and Congressmen Chip Cravaack and Collin Peterson have pushed to release the funds.

Of course, if there's going to be a fly in the lens, it's going to be way deep inside where it's really hard to get to. I don't know why flies do that, but I promise you they do. You never see a fly just under the front or rear element. They get into the deepest groups, leaving little fly parts all over, and usually, get smushed by the zoom or focus element.Read the entire article on the LensRentals Blog.
Note that the camera body and with-lens kit already have a $50 and $100 instant rebate respectively available.
The Canon EOS Rebel SL3 is available for preorder at B&H | Amazon | Adorama | WEX
"After years of our customers requesting a video tripod that could support heavier payloads for things like teleprompters or beefy camera rigs with long lenses, Benro has delivered just that. We're super pleased with the way the product turned out and so are the pros that have been testing it for months on the road."The carbon fiber tripod is a 2 stage, 3 section tandem style which incorporates a 100mm bowl. The leg locks are oversized levers that can be operated while wearing gloves. The lower stage leg lock lever has an additional lip, which can be opened and closed with your foot. This allows you to hold onto your camera rig while adjusting the height of the tripod. Each tripod includes a floor spreader, a telescoping pan arm and a padded carrying case.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
what a ripper read. or listen, in this case–i listened compulsively to the audiobook.
what is it about guys (it seems to be always guys) who want to run off into the woods, forsaking all civilization and human contact? for a contemporary american of the good old USA, it's really compelling, is what it is. do other nations have this streak of willful hermitism, or is it just USns, cause we read too much Thoreau in high school? (and, as an extra-credit question, why isn't it the women too?)
anyway. John William, scion of wealth, turns his back on it all at 21 and goes off to live in the woods. his friend, Neil, tries briefly to dissuade him, but in the end gives tacit approval by bringing him junk food and fungus cream every few weeks. Neil tries to understand what it is John William is either escaping or trying to move toward, depending on your point of view, but is never quite successful.
like a lot of books with extreme (and well-drawn) characters, when John William isn't in the book, it loses a lot of steam. things become ordinary, quotidian. one could easily read this as making a point, however… Neil, who comes and goes between JW's world and the "real" one, continues on with his "hamburger world" life and his supply runs. he gets married, has kids, gives up on becoming a famous novelist and becomes an English teacher instead.
and again, no spoiler here cause it's in the first few pages of the book: John William dies in his mountain refuge.
and then, the mystery: what was responsible, who was responsible, how did John William get so weird, anyway?
to me (and i doubt seriously i am a typical reader here), how he got to be so weird is far less interesting than what he thought up in his mountain cave. but we are dutifully trotted through the explanations: bad mommy, distant daddy, girlfriend thought he was gay, shrinks burdened him with a lot of freudian cant. i suppose we are explanation-seeking beings: in an earlier age, John William might have been supposed to be a victim of spirit possession, or religious fervor, or later, we get psychology, and now we have psychology and genetics and brain chemistry. poor us! "spirit possession" might have been an easier label to bear, in society's effort to grind everyone down to comprehensible, explicable, mind-numbingly dull normality.
ya, i'm definitely on John William's side. aspirationally, anyway.
but i also love my purple people-eating couch, my magic carpet bed and my PS4, so i doubt i'll be walking off soon. but i think about it, a lot.
society just can't bear it when you reject society–a case such as John William's is instantly pathologized all the way around. it's the only explanation, right? he must be bent. but i've no doubt that even the hollow men stop to notice that there's a good chance it's society that's bent, and to live in it destroys something essential.
anyway. ripper read. disturbing in all the best ways. bonus: some really beautiful nature writing (Guterson's always so good at that).

October marked the end of a temporary exhibition at the Dugdale Centre in Enfield, incorporating the display of the telephone switchboard that serviced the local community between 1925 and 1960. The exhibition entitled 'Number Please? Working with the Enfield Exchange' explored the role of the exchange and telephone in everyday life. I was a member of the team involved in designing and researching the exhibition, as well as hosting events to engage the local community and helping to find local residents who may have worked with our switchboard. The switchboard forms part of the Science Museum's collection and the Museum intend to re-display the switchboard as part of its new Making Modern Communications gallery in 2014. My task was to conduct oral histories with the ladies who used to work on the Enfield switchboard. We had a blast! The highlight was the cream tea and matinee film event.

Engagement MarketingCampaigns and Strategies that Drive Showroom Traffic

Our team has developed engagement marketing programs that really make a dealer standout in the market. These plans provide a step by step guide and help connect dealers to local groups and specific audiences to drive more traffic to the dealership.
We also help with point-of-sale materials or advertising specialty items to extend promotions and dealer branding. Reputation is also important and we have a program that can highlight dealerships great customer service experience.
Complete the form here or just call us directly at (216) 712-6712 and inquire about our Zoom Marketing Program.
Below are just a few of our promotions that can help dealers connect with new customers and strengthen relationships with existing customers. Programs will vary based on the dealer's market and budget.
Quite simply, we validate good dealers who care about their customers, their employees, and their communities.
Call us for more information. (216) 712-6712
Connect with Moms
Moms are an important target audience for customers and prospects, but often traditional dealer ads to not resonate with them. We offer programs that help auto dealers connect and build relationships with this group.
Reach out to Boomers & Seniors
Our population is aging but Baby Boomers and Seniors enjoy late model, safe transportation. They can't be reached via digital marketing so you need "alternative channels" to get them engaged. We offer a number of solutions in this area.
A new Car and A Great Dinner Too
Your customer has their new vehicle so wouldn't it be great to treat them to a wonderful dinner at a local restaurant that supports the dealership and their employees?
Pet Lovers
Over 42 million households own one or more dogs and they love taking their dogs for rides. Is your dealership pet friendly? We offer a number of marketing programs that connect with dog owners and help create more sales to these pet lovers.
Are You Enlisting Veteran Customers
Veterans and active military are great customers and very often the OEMs have discount programs for them too. We help local dealers engage this vibrant and loyal base to sell more cars and trucks.
Everyone Wants a Piece of the Pie
Is there anybody that doesn't like a pie right from the oven? Is there any better smell than pies baking? We offer a home style promotion that works with local bakeries or charity organizations to provide a special treat for dealership customers and employees.
Custom Dealership Magazine
Nothing is more special than having a custom dealership magazine that comes out 3 or 4 times a year for customers, prospects, employees and affiliated organizations. Our team works with dealers to gather, curate, and produce a professional publication.
Branding in Your Customer's Home
We offer a simple program that makes it easy to engage customer's families and have them promote the dealership everyday throughout the year by posting content on the kitchen refrigerator. (not a magnet)
Engage Via Social Channels
Social media channels, while not a prime driver of traffic, presents an opportunity to engage and share information with customers and show your dealership can be a good "online" neighbor.
Improve Employee Morale
Maintaining good employee morale is important for building a cohesive team that provides a great customer experience. We offer programs to engage and build loyalty with employees.
Create a Dynamic Dealership Blog
Consumers like user friendly articles, photos and posts that entertain and educate them about your business and the vehicles you sell and service. A blog helps to connect and engage your customers and employees.
Educate and Engage
We provide an entertaining and educational program that brings current and future car shoppers into your showroom to meet your team, see your products and learn your team is one they can trust when buying a vehicle.

The Interpersonal Neurobiology of Play
Brain-Building Interventions for Emotional Well-Being
Our Retail Price:£27.00Add to Basket
Nurturing brain development in children through play.
At last, clinical readers have a book that takes seriously the importance of play and brings a scientific eye to this most important aspect of life. Drawing on concepts of interpersonal neurobiology, the benefits of play interventions to achieve attunement, neural integration, healthy attachment, and the development of resilience and well-being become clear.
The book is organized into three parts. The first part lays a conceptual foundation for considering play in relation to the neurobiology of the developing brain and mind. The next part explores specific topics about play including the therapeutic playroom, the collaborative relationship between therapist and clients, storytelling, and mindfulness. The last part of the book asks questions about the state of play in our families, clinics, and schools. How did we get to a place where play has been so devalued, and what can we do about it? Now that we know how important play is across the lifespan from a scientific standpoint, what can we do to fully integrate it into our lives?After reading this book, clinicians, teachers, and even parents will understand why play helps children (and adults) heal from painful experiences, while developing self-regulation and empathy. The clinical examples in the book show just how powerful the mind is in its natural push toward wholeness and integration.
"[A] must for anyone who works with children or young people. Therapists with an adult clientele will benefit from reading it too: our clients were all children once. . . . It can be used as a text book for teaching students of therapy and there is a section of hand-outs that could be copied and given out to students. . . . The vignettes are entertaining and we are shown how to put the theory into practice." — Contemporary Psychotherapy
"This is one of the most exciting and fascinating books on play therapy in recent years. Drawing on the groundbreaking work of two neuroscientists, Panksepp and Porges, Kestly explains in accessible language the neurobiology and healing power of play. Every play therapist, parent, and teacher will want to read this book." — David A. Crenshaw, PhD, ABPP, RPT-S, Clinical Director, Children's Home of Poughkeepsie; Co-Editor of Creative Arts and Play Therapy for Attachment Problems
"The Interpersonal Neurobiology of Play should be required reading for all play therapists. It presents in a clear and understandable manner key neurobiology information needed by play therapists to correctly understand and treat the children they are working to help." — Helen E. Benedict, PhD, Child Clinical Psychologist, Baylor University, Waco, Texas
"In this beautifully written and highly accessible text, Theresa Kestly draws on her vast clinical experience and the latest research in neuroscience to articulate the critical role of play and relationships in children's growth and healing. Dr. Kestly provides a clear explanation of the neurobiology behind play and play therapy, illustrating concepts meaningfully through personal case examples. This groundbreaking text is a must read for play therapists and anyone working with children. I could not put it down!" — Sue C. Bratton, PhD, Professor & Director, Center for Play Therapy, University of North Texas, Denton, Texas

Minutes of Last Meeting
Accepted as True & Accurate
Matters Arising:
Tom Price reported on additional venues for the Heritage Open days
The Cultural Partnership Convention, held on the 10th of July, had been a successful event.
There was a short discussion about the PCT being represented on the Greenheart Board. Because Wigan Borough has below average life expectations, which result from health and wellbeing issues, it is important that the PCT, or the body that replaces it, plays a full part in the health benefits that can be introduced into that project.
Greenheart Community Forum Report:
The initial meeting took place 15th July when a draft version of terms of reference was considered. The forum will meet four times per year and minutes of meetings will be displayed on the Greenheart website.
Celebration Evening:
As the Environment & Heritage Network continues to develop, it seems appropriate that we organise a celebration evening, perhaps this coming Spring. The Museum of Wigan Life has been offered as a possible venue. It was agreed that the idea is sound and discussion took place about the form such an evening might take. It was suggested that Peter Goodwin's DVD about Wigan Heritage could be shown, that presentation could be given by member groups, that certificates of membership to the Network could be given out and various other activities to make the evening worthwhile and enjoyable. It was decided that we think about it for the time being and then perhaps a group of people could get together to organise the event.
Other Business:
The secretary reported that at the last LSP Board meeting the lead officers of the four newly formed Thematic Partnerships gave presentations. Three of these Thematic Partnerships have, apparently, no community representation. The Economic, Environment, Culture & Housing Thematic Partnership has, apparently, got community representation only on the Cultural Partnership but these seem to be selected rather than elected. The method whereby community representatives were elected to the LSP and the LSP architecture is now outdated and, as yet, there is nothing in place to remedy this situation.
There was a short discussion about the forthcoming 'cuts'. Wigan has lost £230M worth of investment in new Building Schools for the Future program, council finances are looking at a 25 per cent reduction over the next three years, staff reductions of between 650 and 820 full time equivalent employees over the next three are expected. The coalition government has announced its 'Big Society' plan whereby groups should be able to run post offices, libraries, transport services and shape housing projects. This, it is suggested, will be achieved by giving individuals and communities more control over their local services.
As the Environment & Heritage Network is the one of the functioning community networks in the Borough, some thought needs to be given as to how best we can provide support in the face of difficult circumstances.
Zenno Vattev reported that he is still in place as funding officer at WL&CT and willing to help Network members with funding applications.
Garry Harold (Environmental Services) gave and excellent presentation regarding the history of derelict land conversion in the Borough and the emergence of the Greenheart Project.
Next Meeting:
It was agreed that a member group should give a ten-minute presentation at future meetings and that the Discovery Group would do so at the next meeting.
Time and date of next meeting - 10.30am Monday 27th September 2010, Tudor House

"Owing to defective and partially non-existent disposal systems, the fact that plastics also help to save emissions and reduce food waste has unfortunately become obscured."
Sustainability at Greiner: Plastics for Life
Together with innovativeness, responsibility is firmly anchored in Greiner's DNA. Indeed in 2016, which was well before the topic of plastic waste had attained the status of headline news in daily media reporting, with its "Plastics for Life" sustainability strategy the group undertook a binding commitment to the socially and environmentally compatible handling of plastics.
Plastics for Life is a guideline for both product development and production, which was prepared in the course of intensive teamwork with Joschka Fischer & Company, and apart from economic considerations also focuses on both the positive and negative ecological effects of plastics production. The establishment of circular systems, in which at the end of their life cycle the raw materials employed are returned in their entirety to the production process, plays a key role in this regard.
Greiner examines every aspect of the topic of cyclical economics. Accordingly, the recycling capacity of products is allocated maximum priority and forms both the starting-point of their development and the basis of their design. Greiner also sees innovative potential in the use of bio-plastics and combinations of paper and plastics.
In line with the motto "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle", Greiner is a member of numerous initiatives such as the UK Plastics Pact, which is searching for new solutions in cooperation with supermarkets and consumer goods producers. Furthermore, Greiner has signed up to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's, Global Commitment and hence the global fight against the worldwide pollution caused by plastics. In March 2020, Greiner joined the world's largest global initiative for corporate responsibility and sustainability, the UN Global Compact network and since May 2020 Greiner is active on the platform "Verpackung mit Zukunft" (future packaging), together with other companies along the packaging value added chain.

Can't Edit Text Link Color With Upgrade to 4.8
I am unable to change the text link color now that I have upgraded to 4.8.
NOTE: I can create text and then edit the color of the text FIRST then add the link and it will maintain the color but that is just not always a feasible option.
But…I am unable to change the color if a link has already been created.
Links are already such an annoyance having to do so many steps: Click the paper clip, enter link, click to apply, click the wheel, tick button to open in new page, tick button to no follow, hit update…just for one simple link–YIKES!! This just adds another level of frustration!
Any ideas on the color issues?

text: I usually tell my friends and family many things, but what most people don't know is that I've been through clinical depression before. It was just last year, actually, and I still feel its shadow creeping up on me at times and clawing at my soul, trying to pull me back into the depths of darkness. That might sound kind of weird, but it's true. Having depression is horrible, and for the longest time I didn't know what to do about it. I felt like the most worthless person in the world, and that I didn't deserve anything for myself. My grades started dropping, I got into fights with family members. It was quite a low point in my life, and it just wasn't the greatest time of my life. But thankfully, it didn't last forever. I talked to people about my situation, read stories online about people who went through even worse depression than I did, and as I did so, slowly I slowly started to recover. I started putting my life into perspective and focusing on the things I really cared about. Whenever I'm having a horrible day, or I'm feeling stressed because of school or personal issues, I still feel like I'll fall back into my depression. But I try not to let it get to me, because I know that there are so many things I want to accomplish. If I keep worrying about my depression, then I'll never achieve my goals and ambitions. So if you're going through depression, or just having a bad day, remember that there are more important things to worry about, and that it isn't the end. Think about your friends, your family, and what you hope to achieve. Think about the places you have visited, the places you have yet to visit, the people you have met and the people you have yet to meet. You have so much of your life ahead of you- don't give that up. Stay strong, and you'll find your hope, just like I did.

It seems incredible to conceive how big the entertainer Michael Barrymore was in his heyday. He was the undisputed king of Saturday-night television until 2001, when he was involved in a high-profile scandal from which his career never recovered.
Writer and performer Nick Cassenbaum recalls his childhood hero in My Kind of Michael, detailing how Barrymore's unique style of comedy impacted heavily on his own development as a performer.
Paying tribute to the game-show format, there's more than a little nostalgia in Cassenbaum's story, compounded by jaunty music from Andy Kelly on the keyboard. The audience names its childhood heroes and places them on the Celebri-tree and volunteers are called on stage to assist in the storytelling process.
Barrymore's shtick was to put the public in the limelight in such runaway successes as My Kind of People, and they loved him for it. Here, the formula is less successful. The amusing but repetitive interruptions interfere with the pace of Cassenbaum's tried-and-trusted storytelling technique. There's an over-reliance on props and far too many segues to do justice to either story.
Cassenbaum's admiration for Barrymore is obvious and understandable but this piece lacks the narrative clarity of his show Bubble Schmeisis last year.

Cinnamon Vanilla French Toast Recipe
6 slices of thick bread
5 eggs
2 tablespoons milk (I use 2%)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter
1/8 cup powder sugar (optional)
Beat eggs into a medium size bowl. Add milk, vanilla, and cinnamon. Mix together. The cinnamon will clump slightly and that is okay.
On the stove, over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and coat bottom of a large non-stick skillet.
Soak each piece of bread in the egg batter and place onto the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes and then flip over and cook the other side.
To serve I like to cut each slice into triangles and layer them on a square plate. I always finish it by off by using a sifter to sprinkle a little powder sugar on top. It looks pretty and compliments the cinnamon. This recipe serves 3 – 6 people.

O Rabaça
O Rabaça
In 1980, João da Ponte Rabaça, opened a tavern to serve local wine and snacks to fishermen and workers of the Porto dos Carneiros, the fishing harbor in Lagoa. He succeeded in gathering loyal customers, so many that the original space was not enough.
In 1990 Rabaça decided to improve the space in order to better welcome guests. Maintaining the heart of Rabaças welcoming tradition, more functional, the place began to attract outsiders by mouth to mouth promotion only. Today, Rabaça stays true to its early days: snacks, a wide variety of meat dishes and, the most important, fish always fresh, right from the harbor in front – a 100 steps, round trip. A generous and competent kitchen and a service that honors the spirit of the house.
Welcome to Rabaça.

Two hundred and seventy participating companies, several thousand visitors, new acquaintances, concluded contracts - this is the result of a large-scale event. RAAPA EXPO is over, and we can summarize its first results.
This time, the AeroMira team presented New Year inflatable figures at the exhibition: Father Frost, Snow Maiden, Snowman, a festive arch, - a children's photo zone and a fabulous throne. Also on the stand were a children's inflatable trampoline "Smurf Land" and a winter attraction "Banana" in the New Year's design.
By participating in the RAAPA EXPO, we had an excellent opportunity to meet with regular customers and meet new customers, find out what excites business today, present new products that will be in demand in the coming months.
In turn, visitors and customers showed unprecedented interest in the exhibition exhibits of our company - they took pictures with vivid figures and asked about their characteristics.
The center of attention of the little guests was, of course, a large inflatable trampoline. So the parents had to wait for their children for quite a while.
According to the results of participation in the exhibition, AeroMir was awarded a diploma for its great contribution to the development of the Russian entertainment industry. In addition, we heard many warm words from our colleagues, for which many thanks to them.

I think it's interesting how my attitude on paper products, like toilet paper and napkins, has been changed during my month (minus a day or two) in China. In the U.S., I never really thought about my use of toilet paper, paper towels, tissues, etc. In college, they provided rolls of tp in the basement free of charge or refilled the stalls. Here, the restaurants and cafeterias rarely provide napkins and definitely not paper towels. The bathrooms don't have toilet paper. Everyone carries around little packages of tissues. I feel as if I'm very aware of my use of paper here: how many squares, how many sheets. Gone are my days of heedlessly cleaning things with paper towels! In the cafeterias, they have hand-washing sinks instead, which is a pretty good idea.
It's probably a good change, an awareness I didn't have before about how much paper I waste in the U.S. but I'll admit to missing napkins and free toilet paper in bathrooms. Is it weird to miss America for that reason? But hey, they've got all the oreos you can possibly want! My roomie told me that there's a saying/song that Chinese men have Audis, women have Dior and children have Oreos. Also, apparently, Oreos are a major contributor to the growing problem of childhood obesity in China (at least that's what I've been told.) Obviously, Oreos are pretty popular here!
In other food news, I tried pizza in China yesterday! Of course, not as good as New York pizza and incredibly small for the steep price (20 yuan for a personal pizza) but not bad although my veggie toppings mostly consisted of corn and onion. Here's a photo of N & T with T's miniscule pizza. Afterwards, A and I stopped by a 小摊儿 (small stall) selling 烤冷面 (roughly translates to roasted cold noodles.) The stall owner was super friendly so I asked her about the taste (sour/sweet) and watched as she made mine. First, she laid a sheet of the noodle upon the griddle and cracked an egg on top. She spread the egg around before flipping it over. On the other side, she brushed a sauce (not sure what kind it was), sprinkled on some sugar and maybe a bit of curry?, added some vinegar and spice. She filled the noodle with onion and cilantro, added more vinegar then folded it all together and cut it. It was a really good snack for 3 yuan! Plus, she complimented me on my Mandarin so obviously, I'm going back 😛 Yesterday, I also wandered down an alleyway within campus that led to the front yards of apartment buildings. Giant sunflowers grew everywhere, some of them hanging their heavy heads. They were easily 8 feet tall. And in the front yards, gardens with eggplant, tomato plants, corn and other vegetables. I was pretty amazed at the variety, all packed within such a tight space. I've realized that HIT's campus is actually pretty small. It's pretty easy to wander through the entirety of it although the park and some of the labs are further away. Anyway, here's a photo of the random little Apple store located in my dorm (obviously, they've got everything you could possibly need here!)

Industrial Air Conditioners
Industrial air conditioners are designed to keep people and equipment cool in hot working conditions. They are available in various types such as air and water cooled, split, portable, and wall and trailer mounted. They also come in a wide range of sizes along with optional performance features. Industrial air conditioners may be used in various types of environments such as computer rooms, telecommunications, hospitals, kitchens, ships, aircraft pre-launches, shipping/receiving docks, offices, shopping malls, laboratories, and factories. Industrial air conditioners also service a wide range of heavy-duty commercial and military applications.
Industrial air conditioners serve an integral need in reversing air contamination, humidity levels and controlling extreme fluctuations in temperatures that can affect manufacturing and other processes.
Almost all types of industrial and commercial air conditioners use the same method of cooling. A basic air conditioner uses five different mechanical components which are the compressor, the fan, the condenser coil, the evaporator coil, and the chemical refrigerant. Most types of industrial air conditioners will also have some additional components such as specialized filters for removing pollutants and noxious gases from the air, sparkles fans and explosion-proof motor housings. These items all work together to transfer heat from the inside of a building to the outside. Air conditioners have a hot side (outside/venting apparatus) and a cool side (the air conditioner). In general, the shorter the distance is between the cool side and hot side of the unit the more efficient the air conditioner will be.
Air-cooled models require a single exhaust duct and are ideal solutions for computer server rooms and offices. Water cooled systems are connected to an external water source. They require no exhaust ducts and are ideal in facilities that are equipped with central cooling towers. Split systems are designed to handle medium sized cooling requirements in offices, conference rooms, and lobbies, etc.
When you are selecting an industrial air conditioner you should take into consideration the unit's BTU rating as air conditioner capacity is rated in BTUs (British Thermal Units). A BTU is essentially the amount of heat energy that it takes to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree F. In the U.S., air conditioner manufacturers also describe air conditioning power in terms of tons and watts. A ton refers to the cooling power of 2000 lbs. of ice melting over a 24-hour period. One ton is equal to 12,000 BTU per hour or 3510 watts. A typical industrial air conditioner will usually have a capacity of about 60 ton/180kW. Make sure that the air conditioner you are considering is strong enough to fulfill your needs.
If you don't have money in the budget to purchase and install and air conditioner, you may want to think about renting an air conditioner. Air conditioner rentals are relatively inexpensive and they can allow you and your co-workers to keep cool on the hottest days of the year.

Cannes Film Festival 2009 – Terry Gilliam, Dr. Parnassus and Life After Heath
Friday morning at Cannes, the air was celebratory but mournful with the press screening of the late Heath Ledger's last movie, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Director Terry Gilliam (The Fisher King, 12 Monkeys) told the press corps how his production had to adapt to the passing of the star: "Everyone in the cast and crew was determined we would finish the film for Heath, so they worked longer and harder." Co-star Andrew Garfield elaborated on the decision to have Jude Law, Colin Farrell and Johnny Depp play fantasy versions of Ledger's character to finish the flick: "It was a very tricky situation we were only able to get through because we were all so touched and moved by Heath."
But there were other things to talk about beyond Ledger's tragic passing; I asked Gilliam and his cast — including Garfield, Lily Cole (pictured above with Gilliam) about the challenges of shooting the fantasy sequences, which incorporate CGI and extensive special effects. Gilliam noted that there was some reality under the fantasy, even when Cole had to be hung from wires to create the illusion of soaring flight: 'We tried to build partial sets, so there's something to touch and feel and fall down on … [but] Lily got stuck in blue spaces in air."

Garfield mocked Gilliam even as he praised him, saying the director's skill made the challenge of acting opposite effects less daunting: "The fact that you're in a room with one of the greatest imaginations — God, no, he's an awful director — it's inspiring." And Cole noted how the technical concerns "made the process quite interesting, because you're using your imagination — seeing things that aren't there, not seeing things that are."
Finally, Gilliam explained how Doctor Parnassus came from his own desire to do something fresh: "I wanted to do something original instead of adapting a book … and I tried to make a compendium of everything I was interested in, running through my drawers for all these ideas and images, starting with the image of a horse-drawn cart being pulled through the streets of a modern city." Doctor Parnassus premieres out of competition tonight; the movie is still seeking distribution in the U.S.Read More

All of Arkansas' success against LSU came during a four-year span between 2009 and 2012. … The Razorbacks were 5-1-1 against LSU in that stretch, starting with a 196.475 to 196.375 victory in the Super Six in Lincoln, Neb., on April 17, 2009. … LSU won the first 17 meets and the last 15 meets against Arkansas. … Announcers for the SEC Network coverage will be John Roethlisberger and Alicia Sacramone Quinn. … This is the final week team rankings will be determined by season average scores. Monday's rankings will be based on regional qualifying scores. … LSU has been ranked in the top 5 for 35 consecutive weeks. … The Tigers have won 15 consecutive meets vs. Arkansas, dating to a 197.225 to 196.325 dual-meet victory by the Razorbacks on Jan. 20, 2012, at Barnhill Arena.
Arkansas (1-8, 0-5 SEC) had two falls on the bars in a loss at Auburn last week which prevented its season-high team score of 196.175 from being even better.
"We need to hit a clean meet," Cook said. "We don't care about the scores. We can't control the judges. We have not had very many clean meets this year. When I say clean, we've only had one meet where we didn't count a couple of major execution errors or falls. So we need to not count any major errors or falls, and if we do that our score is going to reflect that."
LSU (7-3, 2-3 SEC), coming off a season-high score of 197.65, will compete in its third meet in eight days, led by senior Sarah Finnegan, the SEC gymnast of the week.
The Tigers have won 15 consecutive meets against Arkansas, including five dual meets dating to a 197.225 to 196.325 victory for the Razorbacks at Barnhill on Jan. 20, 2012.
The Tigers have been less consistent than in recent years. LSU is 1-2 in SEC road meets, with losses at Auburn and Kentucky in which its scoring average was 196.15. The Tigers also posted a muscular 197.45 in a road victory at No. 9 Alabama on Jan. 25.
"I think they had a few injuries they were dealing with and I think they're up to full form now," Cook said. "We'll see how they perform. If they have a hiccup and we rock we can still knock them off."
The Razorbacks will likely send junior Jessica Yamzon and freshman Kennedy Hambrick up on all four events. Sophomore Sarah Shaffer, who returned last week from a concussion, is scheduled for at least three events and is a possibility on the balance beam.
Arkansas' top-ranked specialists remain sophomore Sophia Carter and senior Sydney McGlone. Carter is ranked 13th on the floor exercise with an average score of 9.904, five titles in seven meets and five scores of 9.9 or better on the event. She is also expected to compete on the uneven bars and the balance beam.
McGlone is No. 27 on the vault with a season average of 9.854. She will also compete on the floor, which is tied with the vault as Arkansas' top event. The Razorbacks rank 13th on both.
LSU is in the top six on all four apparatus, with a high of No. 4 on the balance beam.
Finnegan is tied for sixth among the nation's all-around performers with an average score of 39.613. LSU's Kennedi Edney is 14th in the all-around at 39.369, while Yamzon ranks 41st (39.089) and Hambrick is 56th (38.96) and Shaffer 64th (38.908).
Cook said the coverage by the SEC Network is good for exposure.
"It's an opportunity for us to do well in front of our audience and recruits and fans in general," Cook said.

- "It was the worst experience. 1. I ordered a single room with TV, bathroom,hair dryer, wifi and airconditioner. However which was provided actually is a small room with three beds, in which did NOT have hair dryer, wifi and airconditioner. By the way, the TV was just a little bigger than Ipad and was placed above the wardrobe. When asking the staff about wifi, I was told that" esta roto...no pasa nada.. " 2.During the night, it was very noisy outside. 3.At first I had had a order for two days, but with all these problems, I decided to leave at the second morning. When I checked out, the reception staff told me that I needed not pay for the second day. But that afternoon I found that I've lost the money from the credit card! Then I called the hostel twice. Finally another staff told me that according to the rules of booking we must take off that money...OK, but I'm still wondering that according to what you guys turned to be cheaters."

After visiting Iceland in December 2017 seeing the dramatic landscape and such beautiful colours we think it would be an exciting new location to host a painting course.
Proposed Date : December 2019.
We will be searching for the perfect location in which to stay. We'd like a large house with a picture window with stunning views and lots of light. We'd like to offer an all inclusive package, we'd provide the tuition, accommodation, meals and include a few tours.
We visited a frozen Waterfall, the famous "Geyser" the original geyser that all others are named after. It was amazing to see the plumes of steam shoot up 50 ft into the air. There will also be an opportunity to do a night boat trip to see the northern lights. We'd also like to visit an ice cave.
It is extremely cold in December, special clothing and footwear is essential. We won't be sitting out sketching plein air in such low temperatures, however with good photography and iPads we will be equipped to work in a studio situation, in the warm, drawing and painting the wonderful scenery.
We will keep you posted on our search and let you know when we have a holiday package to offer.

Menstruation is a natural part of a woman's life cycle, however, a woman's period can have an unnatural impact on the environment. In fact, as one of Nature's most life-supporting processes, it can have long-term damaging effects when it comes to the planet.
What can women do to alleviate the negative impact of their period on the environment? Let's explore these questions.
One planet, billions of periods
From menarche (first period) to the last at menopause, women experience an average of 450 periods over their lifetime. Although the total number varies widely by women, every period has an impact on our environment based on the period products used – whether tampons, pads, or a menstrual cup.
According to an article in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology, women use between 11 and 30 tampons per menstrual cycle, which translates to approximately 5,000 to 14,000 tampons per woman during their lifetime. That's a lot of opportunities to have a small or large ecological impact.
Impact of period products on the planet
You may be wondering why there is such a huge impact on the environment beyond the sheer numbers of period products used worldwide. One unfortunate fact is that many women are still flushing used tampons down the toilet, despite repeated warnings not to do so. Used tampons should be thrown into the trash. Even biodegradable tampons should be tossed and not flushed, as all tampons can clog toilets as well as septic and sewer systems, which ultimately damages our clean water sources.
The pads and tampons themselves are not the only environmental nightmare. The packaging and liners used with conventional period products are typically not recyclable or they are not being recycled properly, which adds further waste to landfills. In 2015, The Ocean Conservancy gathered 27,938 used tampons and tampon applicators on beaches around the world in one day alone. They represent a tiny tip of the iceberg of the more than 45 billion period products thrown away every year.
What do these conventional period products have in common? Plastics, for one thing. For example, many tampons have plastic applicators while pads and tampons are wrapped in plastic, have a plastic layer to protect clothing, and both linger in the environment for centuries and pollute our oceans and other waterways. Cardboard applicators are more environmentally friendly as they can be recycled or composted properly.
Most conventional tampons and pads themselves also contain plastic. The typical conventional tampon is composed of nonorganic cotton and rayon to increase absorbency. They may also have a thin layer of plastic-encased inside it and you would never know it was there. The tampon is then enveloped in a plastic tube (or cardboard) and wrapped in plastic. Conventional menstrual pads often have a plastic base and synthetics that absorb fluid and are then wrapped in plastic as well. Nothing in this scenario is recyclable.
In fact, according to City to Sea, one conventional menstrual pad has the environmental impact of four plastic grocery bags because of the polyethylene, polypropylene, and/or polyester in them. These plastics take centuries to break down!
Then there are the dioxins to consider. The cotton and rayon in tampons are bleached to make them look white. The chlorine-free bleaching technique used today involves chlorine dioxide and produces dioxins, although at lower levels than previous methods. Dioxins have been linked with a greater risk of cancer.
When we consider all of these facts, it's clear women need to try something different to help curb the growing problem of period product pollution.
How to reduce your period product pollution
Fortunately, women have cleaner, safer, more environmentally friendly choices than conventional tampons and sanitary pads. 100 percent organic cotton brands such as Natracare help reduce period product pollution because their products are biodegradable. By using 100 percent organic cotton period products, you also help reduce the number of pesticides introduced to the environment and the plants and animals.
When choosing 100 percent cotton menstrual products, also be sure to choose one without an applicator or if you prefer an applicator choose cardboard over plastic. Look for packaging that is either minimal or recyclable (and be sure to recycle it!) (For example, Natracare tampons without an applicator are wrapped in recyclable plastic to ensure the products stay clean. Until a natural biodegradable solution is found, this will still keep your plastic pollution to a minimum). And please remember, never flush your tampons down the toilet!
Another planet-friendly choice is a menstrual cup, which is a silicone catchment system that is reusable. These cups can last three years or longer and therefore significantly reduce pollution.
Bottom line
Menstruation is a natural process, but our use of period products for our periods has an unnatural impact on the environment. You can significantly reduce that impact by choosing 100 percent organic cotton tampons and pads and not flushing tampons down the toilet.

Hello lovely people! It's Wednesday and these are some of the things that are going on in our big world. Tonight's blog is inspired by a quick dinner that I shared with friends in Brandeis earlier. We talked about the large amount of privilege that we enjoy as college students at Creighton and it got me thinking about the things that we take for granted in our life. Here are some highlights on things happening around the world that are linked to some of the values that we take for granted in our lives.
The first link is from the New York Times. It is an article that further explains the rebuttals that Egypt and Yemen offered at the UN on the the right of freedom of speech and why they believe cultural limits on rights like freedom of speech have to be respected.
The second link is from Aljazeera. This is a piece that touches on Iran's block access of google and gmail in efforts to establish a walled-off domestic Intranet. I can imagine that Americans would be pretty outraged if our gmail was suddenly blocked.
The third link is from the BBC. I leave you on a more positive note with a short video about Malaysia's "Smart villages" that are providing poor families, with little education, new homes and jobs. It really made me reflect on all the luxuries that we enjoy in our dorms and homes. It is an exciting program that is providing people in Malaysia with opportunities.
Thanks for reading!

Fentanyl Deaths On The Rise In Los Angeles County
LA law enforcement officials see an uptick in overdoses due to the powerful painkiller. Fentanyl has also been tied to at least 11 fatalities in Sacramento County last month.
Los Angeles Times:
Deaths From Powerful Opiate Fentanyl Rise In Los Angeles County
There are signs that deaths connected to fentanyl, a powerful painkiller tied to a string of fatal overdoses in Northern California, are on the rise in the Los Angeles area, law enforcement and health officials said this week. The drug, an opiate used on patients after surgery that's up to 100 times stronger than morphine, is appearing now more than ever in overdoses in California as a prescription drug abuse epidemic evolves nationwide. (Serna, 4/16)
