Our home is a classic shingle-style beach house with tons of light, plenty of space, comfortable and classic furnishings and loaded with modern conveniences. The best part, however, is the location - just three houses from the water in a quiet, safe neighborhood on a dead end road. Our beach is private and for the residents of our neighborhood, but since it is rarely occupied, you will likely have your very own private beach experience! The CT shoreline is full of beach alternatives, should you want variety; Hammonasset Park is a short stroll away. There is even a hiking/biking trail at the end of our street that leads to the Park if you are looking for more vigorous activity. Other activities popular to the region include hiking, biking, kayaking (3 included), paddle boarding, fishing, bird watching. The house has three kayaks, and two mountain bikes available for use.
The house has four bedrooms and an open loft, all fully furnished with all necessary linens. The master is a large room with water views, a new and super comfortable king-sized bed, HDTV with cable access and a DVD player. On the same level is one bedroom with two twin beds and a second room with a full bed. The full bath is shared by these three bedrooms. Loft space above the family room offers additional sleeping for two on the fold down couches. The lower level has a fourth bedroom with a full bed and a sitting/play area with a double futon.
The kitchen is modern and comfortable for a group to gather and offers a breakfast bar for additional space. It is fully furnished, and the stainless appliances are new. In the living room, you will find space to relax. On cooler evenings, there is even a gas fireplace for your comfort. This is my favorite room to put my feet up and relax with the Sunday paper over coffee or to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening. Lastly on the main floor is a den with lots of light and French doors leading to the large deck where you will find a gas grill and outdoor furniture for dining al-fresco on a nice summer night. The house has a ping pong table, Wi-Fi, a Wii, HDTV, and streaming video. The house is also equipped with full washer and dryer.
Please note that our home is intended as a family home, large parties over six guests will be charged an additional $100 per additional guest per week.

Why it Works: Kelly Ripa's Boho Blouse
Photos by FameFlynetPictures
Host of Live with Kelly and one of the Hollywood Reporter's "most powerful people in media," Kelly Ripa is pretty much the head cheerleader of daytime TV—with an on-camera wardrobe that leans toward all things leg-baring (power heels included), to match. Off-screen the vibe may be more casual, but it still masterfully toes the line between aspirational and relatable, as illustrated by Ripa's latest summery look.
The Shirt: An homage to Carrie's see-through-shirt-with-black-bra-SATC-years, Ripa's blousy, threadbare top has a Dirty Dancing nostalgia to it, and its semi-transparency balances its modest shape with an undercover sex appeal.
The Shorts: They're short alright, the better to play up the diminutive blonde's best assets. The faded checked pattern further elongates Ripa's toned physique, almost blending with her tan.
The Accessories: A surprise dose of sunlight in an otherwise muted outfit, Ripa's turquoise and canary yellow necklace ticks the "something cheery" box; Her worn-in leather mailbag and mirrored aviators add a cool, intrepid reporter-in-the-field mystique.

Open the canister and rinse the media in old tank water before you go. Do it in a day or two and monitor the ammonia and nitrite. Once a basket is rinsed, make sure the clean media is submerged in old tank water as you clean the other baskets. A 5 gallon from home depot should be large enough to hold your submerged media. I've never lost a cycle cleaning a canister filter.

ADDICTED TO GENRE BENDING ~ Blog for Amazon Bestselling Author Alisha Paige, Ruby Vines and Wolfgang Pie

The Love Letter
I have a great writer's group I formed in my hometown of Dallas, Texas. It's a writer's and wine tasting group. We haven't had a wine tasting yet but I'm planning one soon. Last Friday night we met in a funky little coffee shop near my home because it's just so hard for me to leave my baby behind. He's 1 and 1/2 and two to three hours without Mommy is his max. The coffee shop was five minutes from my house in the old downtown square. My group has like fifty members but usually only 15 to 20people show. And now that I've scheduled it closer to home, even less people come because they prefer the meetings in the heart of Dallas. I figured the people that truly want to come will show, right?
Well, I only had four people show up last Friday night but it was a great night because it was much more intimate. Everyone shared a bit of their work. We had a new guy show up. Bruce is a friend of one of my regular members. He's 79 years old. He showed up and read a love letter he wrote to his wife. His wife died last October. He became emotional toward the end so his friend finished reading it. I was crying my eyes out as I listened to this beautiful letter about a doll he found in a doll shop. The doll was over 100 years old and he bought it because it reminded him of his wife and her beautiful face. This beautiful letter reminded me of something. We are all writers. Published or unpublished. When we put our thoughts and feelings down on paper, we can remember it for a lifetime and it will be there when we are gone for others to enjoy.
I hugged this special writer after the meeting and asked him to come again. He smelled like a pipe and I made a mental note to choose a location where he can smoke his pipe next time. I love the smell of apple wood smoke. He bought one of my books and I tried to tell him that he won't enjoy it because it's a romance. He protested and insisted that he reads romance. Bruce called me today to tell me how much he is enjoying my book, particularly the Indian legend within. I have to admit I was worried he'd cringe at the sex scenes, but I reminded myself that even though he's 79years old, he's still a man. A man that has lived a big life and loved big. I can't tell you how much that phone call meant to me. I've asked dozens and dozens of readers to please email me when they read my book and let me know if they liked it. I stopped asking that because I rarely get feedback from my readers. And now I wonder if Bruce knows how much his letter to his wife meant to me last Friday night as we all sat in a cozy coffee shop. It started pouring down rain and my heart began to ache for Bruce and his loss. He said this after he read. "I was in love with my wife." He shook a little when he said it and I could picture his face when he was younger. I could picture his beautiful wife and their life together. And how fast the years must have flown by.
I was happy to be only five minutes from home so I could rush home and see my family. As I pulled into the drive in the pouring rain, my headlights shined into the carport. My husband was sitting there with our two little ones on his lap, waiting for me, watching the rain. I slammed the car door and ran to keep from getting drenched. My husband asked me what I was cooking and I couldn't help but smile. It was good to be home.

Oh my. I have goose bumps and what a LOVELY MAN. Yes, find a place next time that will allow him to smoke his pipe. Nothing like a story like this to make you want to hug what you have to your heart.

When you go in to this machine you'll notice that the camera is on the opposite side to most machines. Usually the camera is on the side towards the decorating screen, I guess so all the technical stuff is in the same place. I have no idea why, but this machine has the camera and monitor on the back wall.
The second thing you notice is that there are two cameras and two screens. The top camera is for the close up pictures and the bottom camera is for the full length shots. It claims to give you longer legs that way.
The big upper screen is a touch screen and handles most things, the bottom screen is only used to show you the angle from the bottom camera.
Lots of light, the whole back wall is glowy/reflective and the company even points out that the shelves are see through… although you dump all your stuff on them so I don't think that matters too much!
I think the difference in the two courses is that the bottom one things are selected for you? Anyway when in doubt choose the big button with おススメ (recommended).
You can choose between couple course, friend course and (unique as far as I know) mama course. I think I'll have to borrow one of my friends' kids to try it out someday! We chose friend course
Eye selection. However, even if you chose 'natural' your eyes are somewhat enlarged so be warned!
You get to choose between 'variety' shapes and portrait and square. Variety means you can take thin long ones and thin vertical ones too. They fit into some schedule books better or to fill up odd gaps in your purikura album. They can be a bit awkward sometimes though and your pictures are smaller.
As you can see from the beige shapes at the top, you can choose two square shots and one thin horizontal shot ("mini-wide"). These are taken with the upper camera.
Then you take a portrait, a square and a thin portrait ("mini-long") All these are taken with the lower camera so although you take a square shot it's full length with space on the sides. It's hard to explain so let's see some examples!
Normal portrait vs mini-long. You can just about get three people in the pictures!
Normal square vs. full length square. You can see on the full-length that my boot is slightly cut off, that's the space you get to take the picture. You can decorate all of it though!
And the mini-wide:
Another unique part of this machine is that you can choose colours and line styles for your final layout. This was the first machine to consider the final print as one big sticker. Lots of girls keep their purikura strips intact, so machines like Lady By Tokyo, Milk Beauty and ICON have layout design options, but this was the first!
You can choose between three colours: white, black and pink, and three line styles: (around the purikura) whole line, dashes or dots. I actually don't like the lines as it makes the pictures difficult to cut out.
The next thing you get to do is make your own set of stamps/pens. They appear on a special tab. You need to choose two colours, one pattern and up to three themes (karaoke, shopping, date etc) They have little icons to help you if you can't read. It makes some simple stamps and pens in your chosen colours.
Each person can choose their own set.
Here's aweird decorating thing where you can put your face into stretched animals etc… I don't get it… but ok…
This is one touch face decorations. The machine automatically finds your face and adds the things in the right place. However, if you look at the preview you'll see that because of my friend's hat the machine couldn't detect her face!
The hair sparklies and cheek decorations:
Some rolling stamps:
The message stamps have some cute styles:
Vertical messages, these are useful for the space on the full-length square ones.
There's also some simple one-touch graffiti if you are short of time or inspiration.
As most of the machines now do, there's also blog/phone graphics. You can choose from various sizes:
One touch blog graphics:
Phone graphics:
Overall I like this machine, I think it can be a bit fiddly with all the different options. Maybe this isn't a good machine for a first-timer!
The pictures print out nicely and clear and the colours are strong, your eyes and eyelashes print out a little lighter than the screens show.
And our pictures!
Now, Kirei Navi2 just came out and I had a go at the weekend. It's points are:
- Leg length options: beautiful, model, supermodel
- Stamps/frames/parts aimed at bloggers
- Stamps designed for full-length shots
- More layout designs

And now for my embarrassing story of the day...or I guess of my month since it's been an ongoing fiasco. A month ago today I accepted Kimberley Cameron's offer of representation. About a week or so later I received the paperwork. I read through it, grabbed an envelope and sent it back the next day. Another week passed and I get the same envelope in my mailbox with a stamp reading: invalid address. I checked the address on the top of the contract. It matched the one on the envelope exactly.
Thinking it was just a mistake by the post office I tried again. Another week. Another returned contract. Unfortunately finals week was in full swing and I was in no mood to march to the post office to sort the matter out (plus who has time to dismember a post-man during finals week?) so I set it aside to deal with when I wasn't insanely busy. After all, Kimberley was already my agent through a verbal contract and she's been busy ever since trying to sell my book.
Finally I sat down yesterday and studied the address on the contract. I was zero-two in the war with the USPS. I could not suffer a third loss. There was nothing different between my address on the envelopes and the one on the contract though! My boyfriend leans over to see what I'm doing then swivels his chair back toward his computer.
"You know that's a T, right?"
Face. Desk. Repeat.
I write in cursive. I have always written in cursive. Up until yesterday I thought I could read cursive too. Apparently not. I Googled the agency and saw that I was in fact misreading their very VERY cursive letterhead. I must be broken or something because I still see an L instead of a T.

Matariki Festival
The old Maori traditions come alive again for one month during the Matariki Festival in Auckland. It's a can't-miss event packed with entertainment, celebrations, sights and sounds. Complete your trip to Auckland, New Zealand by spending some time at the festival.
Matariki is the new year celebration of the Maori. The name comes from the Maori word for the Pleiades, a cluster of stars with an intriguing mythology. One tribe believed the center star was the mother and the surrounding six stars were her daughters, all of whom arrive to help the sun, which has been weakened by winter, return from its journey. The appearance of this celestial body, often around late May or early June, marked the beginning of the calendar year for Māori people. Historically, natives commemorate this date with massive celebrations, however, that tradition began to die down in modern times - that is, until the Māori Language Commission made it a goal within the past decade to revive Matariki celebrations.
The Matariki Festival features exciting events all over New Zealand and invites people from around the globe to take part. This festival occurs in Auckland. he activities continue throughout June with neighborhood fairs, cultural performances, live music, exhibitions and, of course, lots of delicious traditional Maori food. While many events change each year, there are some Matariki staples that can't be missed:

Monday, September 25 – Friday, September 29 Roux will be presenting at the 14th International Phytotechnologies Conference (IPC), taking place in Montréal, Canada. Since 2004, the International Phytotechnology Society's (IPS) annual conferences have been an opportunity for research scientists, engineers, industrials, and practitioners from all over the world to present recent advances in the field of phytotechnologies, i.e. strategic uses of plants and related microorganisms to address environmental issues.
On Tuesday, September 26th, Roux's Kelly Coulon, Senior Engineer, will be presenting on Natural Colonization in Phytoremediation and Habitat Restoration Projects as part of the Conference's "Large Scale Phytotechnologies Field Projects" Session. This presentation reviews the role of natural colonization on several completed phytoremediation/habitat restoration projects in the New York City area, and discusses the steps taken to encourage the colonization of desirable (non-invasive) species.
The following day, Amanda Ludlow, Principal Scientist at Roux, will present on Maximizing the "Green" in Green and Sustainable Remediation (GSR) during the "Phytotechnologies: Role and Challenges" Session. Her presentation will highlight the Best Management Practices (BMPs) recognized in GSR which support the use of vegetation, and walk through a step-by-step quantitative comparison of two remediation alternatives: (1) risk-based phytoremediation cleanup versus (2) excavation and disposal.

This Time of Year
Every year this week arrives
it's probably not important to most!
I think of you, and pray for you, remembering TWO very important Lives!
No balloons, flowers, cake to eat, or toys,
Just a celebration in heart, and praise to Our God with Gratitude –
As we remember TWO beautiful men, I knew as boys!
For you my friend- I know of your unending grief;
Your will to carry on- LIVE FULL, UNCONDITIONALLY LOVE, and little RELIEF
Our Lord watches over you daily with love,
I know this because a Mother's heart is always a part of her children-
Especially when they are in the Heavens with him, shinning ABOVE!

Former Lt. Gov. Barnes visits Honors College students
Tarleton State University
Wednesday, April 17, 2013
STEPHENVILLE, Texas—As part of Honors Week and to kick off the celebration of the transition to an Honors College, former Tarleton student and lieutenant governor of Texas Ben Barnes visited campus this week to share his experiences in Texas politics.
During his visit on Tuesday, several students from the Presidential Honors and Honors Degree Program had the opportunity to enjoy breakfast with the former lieutenant governor before he gave a lecture to students enrolled in honors Texas government courses. Barnes detailed his rise in Texas politics and, ultimately, his election to the state's lieutenant governor's post in 1968. Barnes also offered his thoughts on some of the major public policy issues of the day.
Students in Dr. Mallory Young's honors literature course also received a visit by Barnes, who sat in on a discussion of Kafka's The Metamorphosis, before attending a luncheon in his honor along with the honors students and faculty. Barnes also received a tour of the recently renovated Honors Residence Hall by Honors director Dr. Craig Clifford.
"It was a great honor to have Mr. Barnes participate in Honors Week as the Inaugural Honors College Visiting Scholar for Texas Politics. It's a rare opportunity for our honors students to be able to sit down face-to-face with someone with Mr. Barnes' experience and passion," said Clifford. "One of the core values of the new Honors College is that greater ability implies greater responsibility, and Mr. Barnes did a great job of inspiring these students to realize how important it is for talented young people to dedicate themselves to service and leadership."
"Meeting with Mr. Barnes was one of the greatest honors I have had during my time at Tarleton," said Presidential Honors student Ryan Cheek, a senior political science major. "Mr. Barnes' tremendous energy and spirit were evident in our short meeting, and it is inspiring to hear how he is still doing so much to help this state and this country."
Emma Krahn, a freshman Presidential Honors music student, said, "listening to Mr. Barnes encouraged me to think about higher education and its relation to the state government. He made me realize that even though we are college students, we are able to make a difference, beginning in our community and our local government."
Another Presidential Honors student, freshman communications major Bethany Kyle said, "I am so glad that I had the opportunity to hear Mr. Barnes speak. He is incredibly knowledgeable on the subjects of politics and government, and I came away from his lecture better informed. Hearing from someone who has first-hand experience in Texas government was an interesting experience, and I'm glad that I got to be a part of it."
Barnes, a native of Eastland County who attended Tarleton in the late 1950s and later graduated from the University of Texas at Austin, was selected as speaker of the Texas House of Representatives in 1965 at the age of 26.
Born on April 17, 1938, in Gorman, Texas, Barnes attended UT School of Law and became interested in politics while working for the state health department as a student. He ran successfully for a seat in the Texas House after his graduation. As a resident of De Leon in Comanche County, Barnes served in the 57th through 60th Legislatures.
While a representative, Barnes served as chairman of the House Rules Committee and vice-chairman of the Banks and Banking Committee, in addition to serving as liaison between Gov. John Connally and speaker Byron M. Tunnell. Just before the opening of the 59th legislature, Tunnell accepted a position on the Railroad Commission of Texas, and Barnes became speaker ahead of his intended schedule.
In 1967, Barnes won a second term as speaker in the 60th Legislature. The following year, he was elected lieutenant governor. Winning a second term in that office as well, Barnes presided over the Texas Senate in the 61st and 62nd legislatures.
Throughout his four terms in the two offices, Barnes was interested in the issue of higher education—a topic he discussed with students—and recalled his efforts during his time in office to increase appropriations for higher education more than threefold, rising to near the top among the 50 states in expenditures for higher education. Several new universities and graduate schools originated as a result of increased appropriations.
He served as chairman of both the Southern Legislative Conference and the National Legislative Conference, and also has been a member of the Executive Committee of the National Conference of Lieutenant Governors, the National Conference of State Legislative Leaders, and President Lyndon Johnson's Commission on Intergovernmental Relations. Additionally, the former legislator has served as the United States representative to the NATO Civil Defense Committee Conference in Brussels and as a special representative to the United Nations in Geneva in 1968.
After leaving elected office in 1972, Barnes began to actively pursue his many professional interests and in 1989 combined his love of politics and business to form the Ben Barnes Group.
According to the firm's website, Barnes was joined by strategists Kent Caperton, Wyeth Wiedeman, Patsy Thomasson and Scott Moorhead to form the Ben Barnes Group. The firm offers expertise in crisis management, legislative processes and strategy, legal issues and public-private partnerships with clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies to small family-owned businesses, representing a variety of both international and domestic industries.
The Ben Barnes Group maintains offices in Washington D.C. and Austin, Texas, and in 2010, an alliance was formed with Strategic Partnerships, Inc., which broadened the team's expertise in business development, procurement consulting, customized research and marketing. The joint venture has resulted in the creation of the Gemini Global Group.

Earlier this month, Mark Reinhold, the Chief Architect of the Java Platform Group at Oracle, proposed a delay to the Java 9 general availability release date. In the thread, it was stated that unless objections were raised in reply by a deadline of yesterday, the new proposed schedule would be adopted. All responses were positive and in agreement to introduce the four month extension. The newly proposed schedule will put the general availability of JDK 9 in July 2017.
This extension follows a previous schedule adjustment that delayed JDK 9 from 2016 (tomorrow, 9/22/2016, in fact!) and pushed its expected release to March 23, 2017. The first request was made in December 2015. The main delay is Oracle's Project Jigsaw, the largest feature of Java 9. It is certainly preferable to ship complete code rather than buggy, security-compromising, feature limited code.
In the current JDK 9 schedule the Feature Complete milestone is set for 10 December, less than two weeks from today, but Jigsaw needs more time. The JSR 376 EG has not yet published an Early Draft Review specification, the volume of interest and the high quality of the feedback received over the last two months suggests that there will be much more to come, and we want to ensure that the maintainers of the essential build tools and IDEs have adequate time to design and implement good support for modular development.
In the nine months since then, progress has been made on Jigsaw but the project is further behind where they were with Java 8 by this milestone.
We've made a lot of progress on Project Jigsaw, the key feature of the release, over the last eight months. In March 2016 we published a major update to the proposed design of the module system and merged it into the JDK 9 master forest.
Looking at the release as a whole, the number of open bugs that are new in JDK 9 is quite a bit larger than it was at this point in JDK 8.
The new schedule will be detailed in the upcoming weeks but should look something like the following. Keep an eye on openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk9/ for the official update.
2016/05/26 Feature Complete
2016/08/11 All Tests Run
2016/12? Rampdown Start
2016/01? Zero Bug Bounce
2017/03? Rampdown Phase 2
2017/05? Final Release Candidate
2017/07? General Availability
With the project deadline extended due to already being behind schedule, the team is open to minor requests but discourages new feature requests and instead plans to devote efforts toward reaching stability.

Ken has gone on a bit of a gardening kick this year. So far he's planted 150 strawberry plants, five rows of beans, six rows of corn, several native melon plants, several squash plants, six watermelon plants, four apple trees, and two cherry trees. The man does nothing by halves. This is all well and good when one lives somewhere where things… you know… grow. With actual dirt (not gravel), water that falls from the sky, and a manageable number of wild animals that also want to eat anything green. But no, this is New Mexico, so anywhere you'd want anything to grow you have to add organic matter to the soil, you have to water everything (by hand, with a bucket, if the irrigation system wasn't designed for all this – which it wasn't), and you have to enclose everything to keep out the voracious animals.
Hey, if it was easy it wouldn't be any fun. Right?
So, because we have a herd of deer and numerous birds, if we hope to ever get any fruit whatsoever off of a fruit tree, it must be completely enclosed. So, we had to build an orchard enclosure. Thus follows the tale of the orchard enclosure.
A proud man and his baby apple trees.
Digging holes. Don't let this fool you, I dug a lot of holes too. Just no photographic evidence.
So, not only do we have to build an enclosure, it has to be designed and built as a timber frame structure because this is what Ken wanted. Which means that Ken hand shaped mortise and tenon joints on the end of each board. This is a very time consuming project, but hey, it's his time, not mine. However, if you were to ask me, there's a reason that screws and drills have been invented.
Structure laid out and ready to put up.
Fruit tree holes dug and amended. We have to do serious amending in order to get anything to grow in the gravel around here.
So getting all the poles fitted together with their respective mortise and tenon joints and pegs put together up 12 feet in the air with only the two of us was incredibly difficult. At one point a 2×4 dropped on my head. There may have been tears shed. It was not a good sort of a project. I may have proclaimed that I would never ever help him build another timber frame structure as long as I live.
However, what does not kill us makes us stronger, and it eventually stayed together on it's own with the help of many, many straps.
Since, Ken has built a gate and enclosed most of the structure with deer netting and chicken wire to keep the deer and birds out.
The apple trees are thriving, and haven't been eaten by anything since Ken got the netting up, so it seems to be working. Those better be really freaking good apples.

On Track: Fleet Tracking Apps
- Written by Jeanette Reveles
- Published in News
Los Angeles conjures images of beaches, endless sun and celebrities. Yet even with all the glitz and glam, conversations about the city eventually settle upon one thing: The nightmarish traffic that plagues the local freeways and roads.
Pamela Hopson, director of operations at Campbell Hall, a small, exclusive private school that serves approximately 1,120 students in North Hollywood, knows the problem of Los Angeles traffic all too well.
"Traffic surrounding our campus can be unpredictable and difficult to navigate. Inherently, transportation is a hot button issue in Los Angeles and for our families as well," she said.
School buses are crucial to reducing traffic congestion. According to the American School Bus Council, one school bus carrying students to and from school can mean 36 fewer vehicles driven by parents are necessary. This equates to an estimated 17.3 million cars removed from the nation's roads each year during the school commute.
But even with school buses relieving some of the congestion, they are not immune to the volatility of traffic conditions, especially in places where high traffic is the norm, where, for whatever reason, smooth-flowing traffic can grind to a halt.
Such is the case in many areas throughout Los Angeles, and in the neighborhood surrounding Campbell Hall. So the school turned to SafeStop, a real-time fleet-tracking app that has made a world of difference in instantly communicating with parents and students when unpredictable situations arise and delay bus arrival times.
"We used to get lots of calls from parents asking when the bus was arriving or if they had missed the bus at their stop because they were running late. SafeStop has all but eliminated these issues for our families and our office," said Hopson.
The SafeStop app, launched in 2013, allows parents, school staff and administrators to track school bus location in real-time and to monitor estimated arrival times. Transportation staff can also use the app to send instant alerts and messages to parents.
Scott Allen, vice president of operations at TransPar, a school transportation management and consulting company based in Missouri, said he likes the fact that SafeStop also allows transportation professionals to analyze the efficiency of the routes.
"By utilizing SafeStop Analytics, we can compare the planned route with the actual route as the bus is moving, and look at actual GPS coordinates and times," he said. "We can match up and see if the routing is in sync and make sure the drivers are following the routes too."
Jeffrey Simmons, transportation supervisor at the Downingtown Area School District near Philadelphia also shared this view.
"The ability to see in SafeStop the time the bus was at the scheduled stop, along with the times from the routing software, has provided the transportation office with an easier way to compare scheduled times and actual times when there are calls or concerns on a particular bus route, and make adjustments to routes if necessary," he said.
Allen also said that a feature he especially finds convenient for Ladue School District, a TransPar school district customer located near St. Louis, is the fact that SafeStop can be integrated with various routing software.
"We use different routing software, different GPS and transportation providers for each client, and what excited us about SafeStop is its ability to work with all of these and with districts that operate their own fleet," he said.
According to Hopson, one of the main factors that made Campbell Hall choose SafeStop over other apps is the user-friendly design and interface.
"We specifically wanted something very simple and user-friendly for families who are busy and don't have time to navigate a clunky app or website. We love the map view that a parent can glance at quickly to determine in real time where the bus may be located," she said.
The Rise of School Bus Apps
In a recent survey of transportation directors by STN, 20 percent of respondents of indicated that they are currently using a school bus tracking app, but twice that number noted that they are interested in learning more about them.
Of those that are using them, many said that one benefit is saving time for transportation departments in both monitoring arrival times and also communicating with parents. Both Hopson and Allen agreed that having an app like SafeStop in use has greatly reduced the time transportation staff previously spent fielding parent calls about bus location.
"It has eliminated all of the guesswork for our parents in regards to bus schedules, and we never get calls about bus timing in our offices. Plus, it not only empowers parents to know where their kids are on their route to or from school, it provides our office with precious time to devote to other initiatives," said Hopson.
Allen said that the Ladue School District has been using SafeStop for just a few months but added that he anticipates parent calls about bus location will also decrease as more and more register to use the app. "We're anticipating that being a good point as well," he said.
A common concern for school districts in adding new technology is cost, however, as they often are operating with limited budgets. With SafeStop, school districts have options. They can either cover all the upfront costs and offer the technology to parents free of charge, or they can subsidize it via ongoing, monthly fees paid by parents.
In Allen's case, he said TransPar took care of the installation costs, while parents also pay to register.
"The districts can, if they want, cover that cost, or if they want to pass that cost on to the parent. It's pretty reasonable," he said.
Overall, Allen said that he has been "impressed" with SafeStop and that the company has been receptive when he or his team have questions.
But student transporters are not the only ones who are responding positively to the app.
"For the most part, all of our calls or comments have been positive and parents appreciate the comfort of knowing that they can see where their child is along a bus route and when the bus is expected at their specific bus stop," said Simmons.

There are so many sofas out there on the market, unfortunately if you need a sofa on a budget, there is not much to chose from if you don't want to go to Ikea. Most of the cheap sofas are "over-designed", bulky in the shape and lack style dramatically, not to mention they actually look super cheap. The situation is not hopeless though, I have found few sofas on the budget that are stylish, elegant and will actually work in the room and not only be there as a temporary seating. Made.com is actually great for affordable furniture, you can get great deals there. Also loaf, even though a little more expensive and more traditional in style. Which one is your favorite??

Music Business Journal #2:
(Case Studies of Universal Music Group and SM Entertainment)
I. Foreword
Major records label and independent records labels are the most common topic in music industry. Currently, there are three major labels that are acknowledge worldwide and often referred as the 'Big Three'; Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment and Warner Music Group. According to the statement above, the rest of the records labels in the world should be counted as independent records label.
What makes them different, the major and the independent? Usually, the major records labels have the larger scale of business and distribution networks, also the larger budget. On the downside, it's often said that major records label hold more control power of their artists. Meanwhile, the independent records labels are often assumed as the more freedom-giver to their artists, with less creative control over the artists' works and more lenient contracts. And on the downside, independent records labels often associated with the lacks of distribution networks and funds. But, were that sufficient enough to explain the differences? I feel there's more left to be unfold as there are still lots of grey area in this matter.
On this paper, I'd like to take a comparison between two companies; Universal Music Group (UMG) as the representative of major records labels, and Star Museum Entertainment (SM) as the representative of the independent records labels. What I'd like to do here is to explain the systems and strategies that are used by both companies with unbiased feeling, so I try to present as much as the facts that I can get from the worldwide web.
II. Universal Music Group Overview
Universal Music Group (UMG) is counted as one of the 'Big Three' major records labels in the world. On their own website, they stated that they are the global music leader with strong position in recorded music, music publishing and merchandising. UMG is known as one of the largest American music corporation, with the headquarters that are located in Santa Monica and New York, United States. But in fact, UMG is 100% owned by Paris-based media conglomerate, Vivendi SA, since the complete takeover of Matsushita shares in 2006. And now UMG acts as Vivendi SA's subsidiary.
With the long-running history in the music industry since 1934, under the name Decca Records, UMG acts as a parent of some of well-known records labels with strong history in the music industry. There are some notable mentions, in the likes of Interscope Geffen A&M, The Island Def Jam Music Group, Republic Records, Decca Music Group and several others. UMG has their branch offices all over the world to take care and manage the local artists. UMG also owns Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG), one of the largest companies in the world that operate music publishing businesses.
It would take too many spaces to list UMG signed artists, but here some big names on their artists' roster with recent released records: Justin Bieber, Will.I.Am and Michael Bubble. Not only recent artists, UMG also owned the music catalogue from some legend musicians like ABBA, Bob Marley, Marvin Gaye, and some others.
III. Star Museum Entertainment Overview
Star Museum Entertainment (SM) is an independent Korean multi-purpose company. SM acts as records label, talent agency, producer, event management and music publisher. SM Entertainment founded in 1989 by Korean entrepreneur, Lee Soo Man. And in 1995, the company became a publicly traded company and traded as KRX: 041510. SM was an abbreviation from Soo Man's name, but now it's changed into Star Museum. SM Entertainment headquarter is located in Seoul, South Korea.
During its progression, SM Entertainment owned several subsidiaries: SM Tin Tin Hall, SM Entertainment Japan, SM Academy, SM Beijing, SM Pictures, SM Entertainment USA and many others. Its recent subsidiaries are SM Town Travel and SM Culture & Contents that founded in 2012.
In music department, SM Entertainment holds the exclusive contracts with some Korean big names like Girls' Generation, Super Junior, TVXQ, BoA, Kangta, Shinee, f(X), EXO and TRAX. SM also owned all their artists' music rights, including their old rosters like H.O.T, S.E.S and many others.
IV. System Comparison
In this part of the paper, I'd like to compare the systems that are used by the both company in music industry. I try to divide the comparison into two parts, the 'Artists Signing and Music Publishing' and the 'Distribution and Promotion'.
a. Artists Signing and Music Publishing
i. Universal Music Group
As the parent company of several records label, UMG is not responsible in searching the talents for them to be signed. Those records labels act as the feeder and filter for UMG. One does not simply send their music demo to UMG, the material itself has to be recommended to UMG's A&R Department by well-known manager, producer, agent, radio DJ or other music industry professional. The artists' contracts and well-being are controlled by those respective labels. The contract itself can be varied depending on each artist agreement with the certain records label under UMG.
Under UMPG, UMG takes care of the music publishing for songwriter and music supervisor. UMPG also takes care of direct signing and catalogue acquisitions. By the work of UMPG, UMG does not need to get their hands on directly for the music publishing.
ii. Star Museum Entertainment
As an independent records label, SM is responsible to search and sign its own talents. Since SM Academy is founded in 2003, SM scouts and handpicks all the talents through audition. All the chosen trainees are subjected to a long-term contract for 13 years. But due to dispute that the contract was referred as the 'slavery contract', now it is changed to 7 years, if the artist is going to be promoted in South Korea, and 10 years, if the artist is going to be promoted globally. And since then, all the artists that published by SM are picked from the academy.
As music publisher, SM takes care and handles all the music that used by their artists. Until now, there are only a few composers and songwriters that are signed directly by SM. The rest of the composers and songwriters are contracted by their songs that are used by SM's artists.
b. Distribution and Promotion
i. Universal Music Group
In the United States, a sub-company named Universal Music Group Distribution (UMGD) manages and takes care of the sales, marketing and distribution of UMG assets in all formats including digital, physical, streaming, subscription and mobile. UMGD has been the industry market share leader for the past fifteen years.
In some markets outside the United States, UMG companies handle their own distribution and sales. In other markets, UMG companies have sub-contracted services to third parties or entered into distribution joint ventures with other record companies.
Most of the global promotional activities of the UMG's artists and music are going in the worldwide web through its official websites, including the websites of the artists and the records labels. But the other promotional activities are varies according to the artists' scoop and each records labels' policy.
For case study, I pick the Justin Bieber's 3rd studio album 'Believe'. The album was released on June 2012 by UMG's Island Records. But before the album was released, the first single of the album, 'Boyfriend', were released first in March 2012. And after the album was released, other promotinal singles from the album were released consecutively. The last single that released was 'All Around the World' on February 2013. The physical album itself distributed globally through records stores all over the world. The digital copy of the album is distributed worldwide through iTunes and Amazon.
The success of the album is followed by more than 100 shows of 'Believe Tour' that are still subjected to be going on until August 2013 in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania.
ii. SM Entertainment
Until 2011, SM self-distributed its own releases in South Korea. Korean Music Power Holdings (KMP Holdings) took over the responsibility. KMP Holdings are joint venture corporation that limited by shares that are created by seven big records labels and music publishers in South Korea, including SM.
Outside the South Korea, SM only distribute their music officially through distribution labels in several country including Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia/Singapore, Philippines, Thailand and Hong Kong/Mainland China. Some big local music distributor in the likes of Avex (Avex Group, Avex Music, Avex Asia), Universal (Universal Music, Universal Records), EMI, Warner Music, MCA Music and several others are associated as SM's music distributor. SM also has SM Entertainment Japan, SM Beijing and SM Entertainment USA in their subsidiaries list to manage some the distribution and promotion activities in Japan, China and United States.
For better explanation, I choose Girls' Generation's 3rd studio album, 'The Boys', as the case study. The Boys is the first album of Girls' Generation that including an English version single. On October 2011, the first single with the same title was released. And the full album came out later in the same month, and on November 2011 the album was re-released with their second single Mr. Taxi. The physical album is sold only in some countries by some associated music distributors, and the rest of the world must order the album straight from South Korea. The digital copy of the album is released in iTunes on November 2011.
In United States, the album was released and distributed on November 2011 by UMG's Interscope Records. And in Europe, the album was released and distributed on February 2012 under UMG's Polydor Records. The Japanese version of the repackaged album is released and distributed on March 2012 in Japan by UMG's Nayutawave Records.
The promotional activities of the album including several music performances and local TV show programs in some countries. 'The Boys' also extended the '2011 Girls' Generation Tour' that has previously held in South Korea on July 2011 and China on September 2011. The added tour schedules are in Singapore on December 2011, in Hong Kong on January 2012 and Thailand on February 2012.
V. Closure
Based on what I've been explaining above, the distinctive differences between UMG and SM are the artist signing system and the distribution system. If the UMG relies on its records labels as the feeder, SM relies on its audition and academy program to sign the artist. On the distribution system, UMG has their own company that manages the distribution of its assets while SM has to rely on their deals with other distributions companies outside South Korea.
And with this paper, I'd also like to erase the mainstream ideas that make the major label became the evil side that take full control of their artist, while the independent records label, like SM, even has the artists tied up with the long-term contract. And about the funds and budgets, SM might needs some distribution channel to distribute their products but that doesn't mean they are lacking in money. In its progression, SM even built the kingdom by having some subsidiaries.
And finally, even though this paper is made as a school's paper. I hope the little comparison that I've made could be media for knowledge and bring the positive attitude to the world's music industry for whoever that reads it, especially in my country music industry. There's a long and winding road to reach a success in music industry, and the choice of which road to choose could help to reach the glory.

Green Tea Extract: a Non-Surgical Alternative for Treatment of Uterine Fibroids
- Uterine leiomyoma (also known as fibroids) are benign estrogen-dependent tumors of the
uterine wall. Uterine fibroids are the most common tumors of the female reproductive
tract, occurring in 20-70% of premenopausal women in the reproductive age women and
cause multiple clinical complications such as acute and chronic pelvic pain as well as
excessive vaginal bleeding and iron deficiency anemia, moreover they are considered as
the leading indication for hysterectomy in reproductive age African American (AA)
women. The impact of these serious clinical complications on women's health is
tremendous. African American women are particularly affected as the prevalence of
uterine fibroids is about 4 times higher in that ethnic group compared to Caucasians.
Being a major health disparity issue, uterine fibroids appear to further diminish the
quality of life for AA women who also suffer from higher incidence of chronic diseases
such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and cancer. Currently there is no effective
long-term medicinal treatment for this common disease. GnRH analogues are effective
short medical therapy option. However, they are not approved for long-term (more than 3
months) because of the risk of irreversible bone loss and osteoporosis and other major
side effects. When these medications are discontinued, the fibroids return to their
original size with symptoms recurring, that is why they are FDA approved in uterine
fibroids only as preoperative adjuvant to improve the fibroid-related iron-deficiency
anemia. Surgery, usually in the form of hysterectomy, is the traditional treatment of
women with symptomatic uterine fibroids. Clearly hysterectomy is an effective treatment
but it precludes future fertility. This creates a major dilemma for women with
symptomatic uterine fibroids who have not completed their families or have not even
started a family. Problems with fibroids must be viewed as a public health concern as
well as a major health disparity issue. The general public in relation to this problem
must be concerned about the: (1) The decrease in the quality of life of women who are
affected, and hence the well-being of the whole family; (2) Interference with
inter-family dynamics and relationships. Decrease in productivity in the workforce/job
performance. Increase in cost of health care caused by the more than 600,000
hysterectomies/Y in USA alone.
- Green Tea Extract
This work will evaluate the utility of EGCG, green tea extract, which is a common
nutritional supplement, in symptomatic relief of this common women's health problem.
Considering the wide acceptability of nutritional supplements especially among African
American women, the ethnic group most affected by uterine fibroids, this project can
potentially provide an effective and inexpensive non-surgical alternative for management of
uterine fibroids. Green tea is a common agent used by women for multiple purposes.
Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the major catechin (about 80%) of green tea. EGCG exhibit
several useful biological effects including anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative as well as
anti-oxidant effects. A study conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture
reported that green tea has potent anti-cancer effects against a wide range of human cancer
cells. Green tea's polyphenols, most notably EGCG, are considered responsible for those
positive effects. Green tea polyphenols have also been shown to inhibit key pathways of
tumor growth.
- Prior Human Experience with EGCG Several human clinical studies used EGCG for extended
periods of time in which EGCG was very well tolerated with virtually no reportable side
effects. Wolfarm and colleagues used oral EGCG 300 mg/day in cardiac patients and
reported improved endothelial function and increased brachial artery flow-mediated
dilation that paralleled changes in EGCG plasma concentration. reported on the
consumption of 500-1000 mg/day of oral EGCG for 3 months which resulted in marked
decrease in several anti-oxidative biomarkers compared to placebo. Numerous studies
have described favorable effects of EGCG when used in overweight and obese individuals
for extended durations. Chow et.al. reported on human use of EGCG with 30 healthy
volunteers randomly assigned to one of the following doses of Polyphenon E (a
decaffeinated green tea catechin mixture): 400, 800, or 1200 mg/day (10 subjects per
dose group). Only transient mild nausea was noted in 3% of the study participants and
was seen only at the highest study agent dose (1200 mg EGCG/day) and in the fasting
condition. Doses of 800mg were well tolerated with no reported side effects. Grapes
also contain polyphenols and catechins such as EGCG. EGCG is the most powerful of these
catechins that accounts for the favorable health effects from the use of grapes
extracts. Grapes polyphenols have been shown to inhibit key pathways of tumor growth.
Grapes EGCG appear to block each stage of tumor-genesis by modulating signaling
pathways involved in cell proliferation, transformation, inflammation, and oxidative
stress, which are clearly involved in pathogenesis of various tumors including uterine
fibroids. Freeze-dried table grapes powder has been used recently for several months in
pre-and post-menopausal women at doses of up to 36 gm/day. This dose corresponds to
about 800mg EGCG/day. This treatment was very well tolerated with no reported side
effects. This suggests that such supplement can be successfully administered to women
as part of life or diet modification programs.
- Preclinical Data Recent studies from our group demonstrated the ability of EGCG to
control the proliferation and to induce apoptosis in human leiomyomata cells in vitro
and in animal models. Our preclinical data in fibroid animal models demonstrates that
EGCG at a dose of 1.25mg/Kg/day added to drinking water was able to induce a highly
significant (up to 80%) shrinkage of fibroid lesions compared to untreated controls.
The treatment was well tolerated with no detected side effects. Such daily doses of
EGCG have been administered safely to human subjects in prior clinical trials. This
effect is partially attributed to potent inhibitory effect of EGCG on Catechol-O-methyl
transferase (COMT), an enzyme that we have recently linked to pathogenesis of uterine
fibroids. In this proposal we aim to evaluate the efficacy of Epigallocatechin gallate
(EGCG) in reducing the size of uterine fibroids and improving quality of life in women
with symptomatic uterine fibroids, as well as assess its safety profile.
- We have recently demonstrated elevated levels of expression of catechol-O-methyl
transferase (COMT) in uterine fibroids compared to adjacent normal myometrium, and
described its important role in fibroid pathogenesis.
- Interestingly, recent reports demonstrated that EGCG has potent anti-COMT activity.
These reports have shown that green tea extract intake is associated with weight loss
due to diet-induced thermo-genesis. This effect is generally attributed to EGCG. This
catechin is known to be capable of inhibiting COMT, which is the enzyme that degrades
nor-epinephrine, thus stimulating thermo-genesis. The inhibition of COMT by EGCG was
uncompetitive with respect to S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) suggesting that there is no
direct interaction between EGCG and the SAM-binding site on the COMT, yet there was
clear inhibition of COMT activity with increasing EGCG concentration. Additionally, the
Vmax values for methylation were decreased. Our preliminary data also showed that EGCG
inhibited COMT gene expression in a dose-dependent manner in human leiomyomata cells.
- Our hypothesis is that the use of the "EGCG" as a nutritional supplement will decrease
the size of uterine fibroids and improve fibroids-related clinical symptoms in women
resulting in a significant improvement in their quality of life.
- This work will evaluate the utility of a common nutritional supplement in symptomatic
relief of a very common women's health problem. Considering the availability, lower
cost, as well as the wide acceptability of nutritional supplements, this project can
potentially provide an inexpensive non-surgical alternative for management of uterine
fibroids which would have a major impact on health of women from all ethnic groups.

Written By Cadeem Lalor
One of the first X-Men comics I ever read was "God Loves: Man Kills", which begins with two mutant children being lynched by a hate group known as The Purifiers. The fact that the two children are also black, and that The Purifiers are a hate group led by a televangelist preacher, William Stryker, were not lost on me. Of course, the historical allegory would be obvious to anyone reading the comics. An Amazon review of the comic even says the comic "oversimplifies the X theme of prejudice".
The comic's bonus materials reveal that Marvel published 'God Loves' as part of its graphic novel program in the 1980s. As writer Chris Claremont says he felt like the graphic novel had to be a definitive example of X-Men's themes. Although the execution can be viewed as heavy-handed, God Loves: Man Kills is a frank look at the power of discrimination, examining how it is fueled by hate and fear. God Loves: Man Kills also follows a legacy of other stories that examine how mutants embody minorities. Throughout their existence the X-Men stories have shifted to focus on different forms of discrimination, whether it is racism, anti-Semitism or homophobia.
I was introduced to the X-Men universe through the films and even then it was clear that the film's central conflict was inspired by the conflict between Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. Charles Xavier desires peaceful resolution to conflict and co-existence between mutants and humans. Meanwhile, Eric Lehnsherr (Magneto) believes that militant action is necessary to secure peace for mutants, at the expense of humans. In X-Men (2000) Magneto even utters Malcolm X's "By any means necessary" when referring to his desire to fight the oncoming war between mutants and humans. The dynamic between the two may be simplified but as this piece discusses, the comics may have been affected by the political context that led to their writing. The viewpoint of both characters was being molded during the 1960s, during the Civil War when the news would often present simplified or exaggerated images of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.
References to anti-Semitism also cannot be ignored since Magneto is a holocaust survivor. His fear, mistrust and outright hatred of mankind are fueled by his experiences in concentration camps. When speaking to Kitty Pryde, a Jewish member of the X-Men, Magneto remarks that it was once the Jews and that "My nightmare has ever been that tomorrow, it will be mutants." (Miller, 284). These words are also spoken at a Holocaust Memorial, making the allegory even more clear.
X2 (2003) was heavily inspired by God Loves, and featured a bigoted William Stryker who wishes to eliminate mutants. Openly gay director Brian Singer also included scenes that referenced homophobia. When Bobby "Iceman" Drake tells his parents he is a mutant, his shocked mother can only ask, "Have you ever tried…not being a mutant?" As Singer says, the scene was meant to be a blatant reference and was also incorporated for humor. Singer also notes that LGBT identity and mutant identity share a uniqueness that other subgroups such as race or religion might not. When someone is LGBT, they are born into a family that is not LGBT. Some mutants are also able to stay hidden or in the closet since their mutation does not affect their appearance. Friends and family usually ostracize those who do choose to reveal themselves. There is a unique sense of isolation that makes the homophobia allegory even more appropriate for the X-Men universe.
In 1963's Uncanny X-Men #294, Charles Xavier makes a speech at a concert celebrating diversity, where he argues that "This concert is about embracing our uniqueness – the colour of a man's skin, the choice of whom we love…" The most obvious allegory came with the introduction of The Legacy Virus in 1993. The Legacy Virus killed hundreds of mutants and it was initially believed that it only affected mutants (Miller, 285). This also mirrors the old notion that AIDS only affects homosexuals.
When Singer asked Stan Lee if the gay metaphor ever occurred to him, Lee replied "Absolutely". Singer has also been asked if he wrote scenes such as the Iceman coming out scene with an "agenda" in mind. I find that the word agenda is typically used to label any attempts to discuss discrimination or present positive images of minorities. There are many people that will complain about a homosexual or politically correct agenda in films, but never scrutinize the media around them that is disproportionately dominated by images of straight, white men. If we think of something as undesirable or unnatural, it is easier to see its representation in any medium as being "forced" or part of an "agenda". Although the allegories may be very blunt at times, I respect the X-Men as a franchise that is not afraid of discussing the issue of discrimination. Although the stories take place in a fictitious world, they still stay rooted in reality by examining how mankind's historical reactions to other minority groups will have an impact on how they react to a new one. Discrimination is an issue that is increasingly relevant and no amount of denial will change that reality.

World Education - Arts, Sciences and Education Culture (WEASC2012)
Venue: New Delhi
|Event Date/Time: Jan 12, 2012
|End Date/Time: Jan 15, 2012
|Registration Date: Dec 31, 2011
|Early Registration Date: Dec 31, 2011
The World Education Culture Congress, WE-ASC 2011 adopts a two-pronged approach:
1. To influence the evolving culture of education and educational pedagogy, with the objective of deep systemic change.
2. To examine representation and application of cultural/traditional knowledge and their dissemination in education systems with a view to developing practical solutions and formats for training, application, sustainable development and human empowerment.
The current system of education, adopted under colonial rule in the 19th century, has served to separate the mind from its local environmental and cultural roots. This has encouraged the formation of a "top downâ€, structured society, directly opposed to child-based organic human development. Through this excessive control creativity and the growth of innovation and improvement have been stifled. Thus the educational has been distorted.
Delegates from over 40 countries convened in Delhi at the groundâ€breaking WEâ€ASC World Education Culture Congress, from 12th to 15th January, 2011. This fourâ€day meet will explore the Relevance of Integral Systems in Formal "Education Cultureâ€, with a special focus on Soft Skills and traditional knowledge systems, and their role in human development and socio†economic empowerment.
Initiated in Delhi, the WEâ€ASC movement promoted 'mainstream' development of holistic teaching methods. It is with this objective in mind that Shruti Rana initiated this movement for crossâ€cultural debate, consensus and dynamic action on the evolving "education culture and "culture in educationâ€, by revisiting traditional and modern ways of pedagogy, curriculum development, skills training as well as evaluation and accreditation paradigms.

It is by far my favorite season but the most difficult to dress for, especially if you have kids or babies like me.
The day would start bright and sunny and tease you with its warmth that may or may not compel you to leave home with just a light jacket. After a couple of hours of that much loved sunshine, weather would change dramatically that suddenly it is so chilly and the wind is biting that you'd wish you have a portable heater with you.
My solution is bringing bulky and comfy blankies and the ever reliable stroller cover. Blankies can be folded and kept in the baggy underneath the stroller. Cover works for rain, snow and tjose biting, cold winds. I made sure that I have the most reliable one by buying from the same company as that of my stroller maker. With those in hand, our little family especially my toddler had so much fun outside.
Running around with all the leaves on the grass, touching the grass and just being out and enjoying day.
A perfect day for my baby girl.
