Zedd – Stache
Discussion Points and Possible Writing Activities
Stop at 00:07 – describe the man you see. What super sentences can the children come up with to describe the man? What can we tell by his looks? What might he be about to tell everyone?
Stop at 00:09 – Who is this guy? What might he be doing?
Stop at 00:13 – What is he trying to do? (Children will come up with lots of suggestions here – run with a few and develop an oral story with the class – will they predict what he is actually doing?)
Stop at 00:21 – Why do the armed people want him? Are they police? Why is his location so hidden? What might all the piece of paper on the floor contain? Why is there no-one there to help him?
Stop at 00:29 Are there any clues here as to what he might be trying to do in this shot? Do the children think he is a good guy or a bad guy?
Stop at 00:59 What happens next? How is he feeling at this point? (Why do you think that?)
Stop at 01:03 What might the blue light be? Run with childrens suggestions again running with an oral story and perhaps adding in an ending that they can think of. Referring back to the fact that some people are trying to find him urgently.
Stop at 01:37 – What went wrong? Why won't it work? What has he done wrong and what could he do to make it right again (this could lead to talk about persevering etc) – Can you think of an explanation that you could give him so he gets it right? How is he feeling at this point? What would you do at this point?
Stop at 01:47 – Why is this man back again?
Stop at 02:40 – What is he thinking at this point?
Stop at 02:53 – What happens next? Get the children to predict an ending to the video or even act one out. What will the blue light produce? Is it a new superpower? Is it the key to everlasting energy? Let their creative minds go free!
Stop at 03:14 – Now do we know why that man is on TV – What might he be saying to the public? Children could write a short speech about the blue flame/light and highlight their concerns to the public about it.
Stop at 03:50 Can the children explain what is happening (as creatively as possible). Follow up with what is going to happen next? What is the blue flame going to do?
Possible Tasks
Can the children write a newspaper report about the event?
Write a diary from the scientists point of view?
Can they write an explanation of how the machine works?
Write the ending to the story (stopping at 02:53)
Write a script to perform as the head of security addressing the public.
Write a police report about the event
Write a non-chronological report about the blue light/flame.
+ Lots of creative thinking and discussion.

Friends of Heidi Harrison Chain
118-20 Queens Boulevard
Forest Hills, NY 11375
Mailing address:
72-11 Austin Street
Box 420
Forest Hills, NY 11375
July has been extremely busy as we continue the petitioning process to ensure that Heidi gets on the September Democratic Primary ballot, while continuing our grassroots efforts in the community.
For those of you who have been carrying petitions, thanks! We are now in the process of collecting the signed petitions and preparing for the filing next week. So...if you have your competed petitions, stop by the office to turn them in -- or, just call us and we will arrange to pick them up.
Needless to say, if you are a registered Democrat in the district, and someone has not reached out to you to sign the petition, please let us know and we will make sure we get to you asap.
The July 9, 2009 Queens Chronicle had a great profile of Heidi. The article highlights Heidi's positions and platform, while discussing her vast accomplishments in the community as a volunteer. "Chain has worked extensively for the betterment of the community," the article stated. Heidi concluded, "I understand the business of government and can make improvements to help all of us. ... I have a record of being a hard worker and I will continue to deliver for our community."
We agree.

Chain touts fresh ideas in council race
by AnnMarie Costella, Chronicle Contributor
Heidi Chain hopes her decades of experience with the City Department of Finance and dedication to community service will give her the edge she needs to win the District 29 City Council seat currently occupied by Melinda Katz.
"I have fresh ideas," she said. "I see problems and I see ways to solve those problems that haven't been done yet.
One of those ideas is to establish a service helpline that will be more efficient than 311 and provide immediate aid to residents 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Also topping Chain's list of priorities are seniors, public safety, youth services and education. Chain wants to see the Meals on Wheels return to serving hot meals as opposed to frozen ones. She believes the change was made because of the manner in which the government awards service contracts often choosing the lowest bidder without really evaluating the needs of the people being served.
"These are real people, not just words on paper," she said. "They are our friends and our neighbors."
Reducing classroom size, supporting mayoral control of schools, and funding after-school programs are just a few of the ways Chain will fight to ensure a bright future for our youth.
She will also continue to work closely with the NYPD to enhance public safety, address noise complaints, put an end to the irritating problem of blocked driveways, and increase security especially around schools since youth on youth crime continues to be a problem.
Chain wants to end wasteful spending and ensure fiscal responsibility. Part of her plan is to take a green approach, filing official documents online to save paper and reduce money spent on postage.
"The common solution is to raise taxes or cut services. There has to be a third option," she said. "We need to work better, cheaper and more efficiently."
Chain also recently announced that she would not accept taxpayer public matching funds to help finance her city council campaign.
"The city is struggling," she said. "To me it was a choice between seniors getting services or money being used for politics and the choice was clear. Under these circumstances, I could not in good conscience take money away from the people who need it most."
Although this is the first time she is running for political office, Chain says that reaction to her campaign has been very positive. She has already received numerous endorsements, the most recent one from Teamsters Local 237.
"It's very exciting and I'm honored," she said. "People stop me in the street and thank me for running and that's just wonderful."
Chain has worked extensively for the betterment of the community serving as president of the 112th Precinct Community Council and the chairwoman of both the Economic Development and Youth Committees of Community Board 6, among other posts.
"I understand the business of government and can make improvements to help all of us," she said. "I have a record of being a hard worker and I will continue to deliver for our community."
District 29 includes Forest Hills, Kew Gardens and Rego Park. Also seeking the seat are Karen Koslowitz, Lynn Schulman, Michael Cohen and Mel Gagarin.
We can't afford politics as usual. Heidi is running with one thing in mind: our community. She is prepared to tackle the hard issues head-on and stand up for our real needs. So sign a petition, volunteer, and let us know what matters to you - together we can better our community.
We thank you for all your help!

A new poll underlines sagging support for the President, and the Iraq War.
A new poll on the eve of the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attack shows Bush?s approval rating at 38 percent ? the first time it?s dipped below 40 percent in regular surveys for The Dispatch by Saperstein Associates.
Also for the first time, fewer than one in three say the war is worth the toll in American lives and other costs.
Just 36 percent now approve of Bush?s handling of the war. While that?s only a 1 point drop from a year ago, it?s barely half the percentage of April 2003, just after the U.S. invasion.
"From what I?ve seen of it we?re just wasting money and wasting troops," said poll respondent Michael May, 54, a warehouse worker from the East Side. "You?ve got to think of the families and what they?re going through and what it?s cost them."
Some other factoids…
- More than 60 percent want either a timetable for American withdrawal or the troops to return home as soon as possible, despite war supporters? frequent derision of such sentiments as "cut and run."
- Only a third agree with Bush?s contention that the military action in Iraq is a major part of the war on terrorism.
- Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld should either resign or be fired, say 43 percent; 41 percent want him to stay.
- The only slight ray of optimism for Bush is that the percentage of those who say the war is going badly for the U.S. fell 3 points to 60 percent from September 2005 to today.

Kunle Oni, one of the passengers who boarded an Air Peace flight from Abuja to Lagos, was allegedly found in possession of money belonging to other passengers.
Aviation security officials found several bundles of naira notes in Oni's bag after quizzing him.
The suspect who sat comfortably did not show any sign of remorse when he was being interrogated.
"Where is your boarding pass?" the interrogator asked, to which he responded by reaching for his breast pocket.
After collecting the boarding pass, the aviation official said: "What is your name?" and the suspect responded: "Kunle Oni".
The identity card he used in boarding showed he is an official of one HB Company.
When asked how long he had been stealing on board, Oni simply said, "this year".
Told to bring the money he stole, Oni unzipped one of the bags with him and brought out a brown enevlop. He also presented N500 notes.

Lots of ideas have been floating around for awhile describing new ways to practice law in light of the rise of alternative dispute resolution and the vanishing trial. These ideas revolve around finding a more cooperative, negotiated approach to exchanging information, evaluating the parties' interests and positions, and preparing a case for early resolution. This approach shares some of the goals and styles of collaborative law, but according to the collaborative lawyers, you can't properly call it collaborative law unless the lawyers and parties are willing to sign a participation agreement that requires the attorneys to withdraw if either party decides to proceed with litigation. Acceptance of that process has taken hold in the family law area, but has not gotten far in other forms of civil litigation. Few civil lawyers are willing to renounce the representation of our clients in litigation if negotiation or mediation fails.
I'm writing from this year's ABA Dispute Resolution Section spring conference in Miami, where a task force presented a proposal for something they are calling Planned Early Dispute Resolution. Since that sounds like a mouthful, they are suggesting the acronym PEDR. It's a variation on another name suggested in John Lande's book, Lawyering with Planned Early Negotiation, which he shortens to another acronym, PEN. The concept has also been called "cooperative" practice. By any of these names, the basic idea is to attempt to resolve a dispute by negotiation or another ADR method before it blossoms into a full-blown adversarial process. This task force has published a handy user guide that explains how lawyers and clients can overcome the "prison of fear" that traps parties into allowing disputes to turn into litigation as usual, and also outlines how to conduct early case assessments, plan for potential disputes, and manage disputes as they arise through negotiation, exchange of information, and the use of third party neutrals such as mediators or arbitrators. But they still seem to be struggling to come up with a catchy name.
Similarly, the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (CPR) has promoted for years its ADR pledge that many corporations have signed committing to attempt to resolve conflicts by alternative means prior to initiating litigation. But again, what do you call the lawyers who seek to bypass traditional litigation? They're not exactly trial lawyers, because they don't expect cases to go to trial, and they're not litigators either, because they avoid litigation unless other methods fail.
At the conference, I also had the privilege of meeting Julie MacFarlane, a Canadian law professor who wrote a book several years ago entitled The New Lawyer describing how the adversarial culture has changed in light of litigators' increased focus on settlement. I asked Professor MacFarlane what those of us who are attempting to change the way we are representing clients in conflict should call ourselves. Even when I mostly practiced a fairly aggressive style of litigation, I never much liked the term litigator, since I regard a lot of litigation activity as wasteful, whether or not the case goes to trial. I prefer the term trial lawyer, but it's not accurate either, since so few cases go to trial. At this point, I'd rather present myself as a practitioner of conflict resolution, or a problem solver, but those descriptions are not well understood by clients or the public. MacFarlane told me that some Canadian lawyers she knows have actually borrowed the title from her book and are starting to call themselves "new lawyers." That description does have some appeal, as long as it doesn't turn into something like New Age Lawyer, which would probably scare away some corporate clients. But it hasn't taken hold well enough to be understood either.
Until something better comes along, I'll continue telling clients that I practice conflict resolution in all of its forms, and that I am committed to exploring alternatives to litigation whenever possible. But I don't like defining myself by what I don't do, so I usually just call myself a lawyer/mediator who handles business cases. I'm still waiting for a better handle to describe the new style of law practice to which I and others are committed.
So I'm open to suggestions for a simple and easily-understood label for the field of conflict resolution that a lot of lawyers are already practicing, one that conveys its meaning as easily as terms like "litigator" or "trial lawyer," and one that hopefully does not require an acronym.

New bank capital rules won't stop crises, says top financial trade body
Forcing banks to hold more capital will not prevent future financial crises, according to leading financial sector trade body the Association for Financial Markets in Europe. Launching its report on the financial crisis, the Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME), said that better regulation was the key to preventing a repeat and not harsher capital requirements. The AFME membership includes many of the world's largest financial institutions, such as Barclays and HSBC, and its report comes less than two weeks after a meeting of the world's top central bankers and regulators agreed on a new set of capital rules for banks at a meeting in the Swiss city of Basel. The report rebuts many of the main concepts of the incoming Basel III rules, suggesting that attempts to target regulation against "systemically important" financial institutions will fail.

June 1 (Reuters) - Rain forced officials to delay second-round play in the Memorial Tournament in Ohio on Friday with Tiger Woods making a charge.
Woods was at five-under for the day after a fist-pumping eagle at the 11th when inclement weather moved into the area.
Along with the eagle, the former world number one had four birdies, after opening with a bogey, to the delight of a large gallery.
That left him five strokes behind compatriot Kyle Stanley, who was 10-under through 10 holes.
Australian Jason Day shot his second consecutive four-under 68 to share the clubhouse lead with three other players.
Japanese first round co-leader Hideki Matsuyama (71) and Americans Wesley Bryan (68) and J.B. Holmes (66) also were on eight-under 136 at Muirfield Village Golf Club. (Reporting by Gene Cherry in Raleigh, North Carolina; Editing by Ken Ferris)

Wow, this is great news!
To summarize the video (which you should watch), there's a new experimental treatment available for certain cancers. When I say certain cancers, I mean they haven't finished testing that it works on the other cancers. The way it works is it prevents cell division in cancer, and while it may take a little over a year to get rid of a tumor, the person under the treatment doesn't have all the negative effects of radiation treatment or chemotherapy! At the very worst they look a little silly wearing wearing the device, but it is a small price to pay. It even works on inoperable tumors!
I hope it's widely adopted soon! Science is FUCKING amazing!

Whew! i know it's been unexcusably too long since i last posted and i don't really have any excuses, except to say that maybe i have been avoiding the fact that DC and I should both be riding our bikes around town in funny ballet and luchador outfits. In fairness, however, the contest was nullified when the artist reported false results. And DC has been so busy brewing award-winning beers, he hasn't even seen his bike for months. But props to him and his new endeavor. If you're a beer drinker, check out Epic Brewery. Try to get a bottle before it's sold out. Literally, they've been selling so fast they can barely get a batch of brew on the shelves before it's gone. I'm not a beer drinker, but i do appreciate fine-crafted, local products, and Epic is doing wonders on that front.
As for me, most of my recent efforts have gone into my newest endeavor: Magpie Gardens and Xeriscapes.
See, the recession has not been too good on adjunct university professors. I used to be able to pick up a few classes over the summer each year to make ends meet, but with 19% cuts to higher ed here in Utah, most departments have cut their summer offerings or replaced adjuncts with tenure-track teachers. As a result, after weighing my other options for earning income i have determined that i am too old and slow to ever be a professional cyclist (though T-dub is well on her way). The only other thing i really know anything about is gardens, hence, Magpie Gardens & Xeriscapes. Hopefully the teaching season and the gardening season will not overlap too much and i can manage the two vocations during winter and summer. And i love making things grow, enjoying fresh garden fruits and veggies, putting together landscape ideas, and being outdoors, so it's a pretty good fit.

text: Dear readers, A big hello all. This is my first post in this blog. Finally, after ages got myself some motivation to get my bum in one place and type. Today, I will be writing about an amazing trip I took a couple of months back with few of my friends to Kuldiha Forest. It is located in Odissa in the terrain of the Nilagiri hills(Please do not confuse this with the nilgiri hills of the western ghats). We stayed in a beautiful little homestay right at the foot of the hill. The place was so secluded, that tranquility swallowed me up instantly. Who knew I could wake up 5 am in the morning and go for bird watching or climb up a hill in search for elephants or walk 8 kilometers through a tribal village. Yeah, the trip was pretty awesome! 😀

After nearly three years of study and delays, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will lift the curtain on its "Rest of River" proposal for a cleanup of PCBs on a heavily contaminated, 10-mile stretch of the Housatonic River from Fred Garner Park in Pittsfield into Lenox and points south.
The overall plan addresses the river's sediment and floodplain contamination extending into Connecticut, said agency regional spokesman Jim Murphy.

Don't Be That Guy (Hella Long...Just Like My Week -- Again)
2:02 PM | Posted by Awesomeness | | Edit Post
Everyone wants to complain nowadays about how customer service has gone downhill. On some levels, I would tend to agree, but I'm going to let everyone in on a little secret. Just as kids make parents crazy assholes, customers make service representative utterly heartless and completely insane.
For example, here are the types of people I've had to work with this week. Most of them just yesterday:
Neddy NameDropper: At the first sign of trouble, Neddy starts droppin' names like they're hot plates full of angry scorpions. Who cares if those names still work there. Who cares if those names even know who you are. Who cares if the policy you're trying to circumvent came down as a direct imperative from the name they're tossing at you.... Pssssst...Neddy, it usually is.
Don't be that guy. No one is impressed that you know the name of their manager. If you make a phone call to an office and ask who the manager is, you now have that information. Congratulations.
A tip: if you actually know the manager, or someone else that makes a difference, it is a lot more impacting when you just quietly take down the name of the jackass helping you and report them calmly and factually. When you scream and fling names like ninja stars at people, it's harder to take you or your problem seriously.
Lambert The Loyal: This customer pleads their case by reminding you that they've been a customer of your company since before the dinosaurs died. Then they go and blow that terrific argument by telling you that they've been considering doing business with another firm recently. Why'd you do it Lammy? You were doing so well!
Don't be that guy. Lambert is a douche to the 20th power. He's also like a second cousin to Neddy NameDropper. They share that, "Don't make me find someone else that will take better care of me than you." attitude. Now, please don't mistake that statement. The customer should be taken care of. I'm talking about unreasonable requests. Such as the one I got yesterday when some Lambert walked in and wanted to be waited on before the 5 other people standing in front of him because he was "in a hurry". Uh, so is everyone else.
A tip: if you actually have a reasonable argument to make, just make it. You don't need to pad your facts with veiled or overt threats about taking your business to a competitor. If you don't like the service somewhere, you're always free to go somewhere else. Everyone knows this, the reminders are unnecessary. It makes you look like a manipulative dick.
FairWeather Franny: When everything is hunky-dory, Franny is the nicest person you'll ever know. She'll joke, chat, commiserate, compliment. Until the smallest thing doesn't go her way. Suddenly, you're out to screw her, you're liars, you killed her kitten in the 3rd grade.
Don't be that guy. Sorry we're not perfect Franny. No one is. It's the same thing Lambert's going to find out when he finally goes off to CoolCompetitor.
A tip: if you ever find yourself faced with a problem with a company you otherwise love, calmly and intelligently work it out. Most of the time, these things happen because of a miscommunication or misunderstanding. It's not the end of the world and alienating yourself from the people that you rely on with spoiled brat antics is not too smart.
GuiltTrip Gary: If you're a nice person, you'll take good care of this guy. You don't seem to care at all that he can't afford the fees that your company charges everyone for service. Your reasonable alternatives do Gary no good because they involve Gary doing something besides standing in front of you and whining about how life's unfair because he can't pay you for what he's asking for. Gary's no dummy, he knows that you make a commission off of all of your company's fees and that's the only reason you're charging.
Don't be that guy. If you don't already know, companies charge fees for services. They'll let you know up front what they are. If they don't, run for the hills. Sometimes fees can be negotiated, but a lot of times, you'll need to just accept that they are what they are and make a choice to either pay them or find out what your alternatives are.
A tip: employees don't typically have control over what their companies charge. They just know that there is a charge and it applies to your circumstance. Demanding their manager is a gamble. Some of them do have a personal stake in their office's bottom line. For a reason. Figure out your alternatives and if the charge is really worth it before you complain. If you have questions about the legitimacy of any charge, demand to see it in writing. If the employee can't produce some sort of written document that breaks down your charges, go elsewhere.
Insider Isabel: The worst person to wait on is someone who is also in the same industry. Some asshats actually expect better service than they give from other people who share their chosen profession. They'll condescendingly instruct the employee through every aspect of their job. I'm guessing just for shits 'n giggles.
Don't be that guy. You know what it's like to be the person whose life you're now making into a living hell. Instructing someone who is not under your direct supervision does not make you look cool. It makes you look like a tool.
A tip: remember that office to office, store to store, restaurant to restaurant rules change. You have different management, different clientele, different environment. Just because you're in the same profession, it doesn't mean you've done their job.
My favorite phrase of the week:
"Are you going to explain to my boss why I can't afford the necessary equipment to finish my job thanks to you?" Uh, no. You don't want me to make that call. I will actually tell your boss that you had alternatives to paying for our services. Free alternatives.
My least favorite phrase of the week:
"You people....." I don't even care what you have to say after that. The quickest way to ensure a negative outcome with me is to start your sentence that way. I can't believe how much ignorance and contempt can be woven into two words.
All right. Everyone cross your fingers that next week will be better. I have Monday and Friday off, so it just has to be 3 easy days.
Please don't suck, please don't suck, please don't suck....

Despite the millions of open legal cases in America's courts, the average person does not do litigation often. So, it's not surprising that many myths have formed around real litigation. We present a list of common myths about real court that should be eradicated for the sake of real justice.
Can't I Just Fill Out The Court Ordered Form?
The clerk has given you a court ordered form to be completed before your court date. Why can't you just fill out the form and show up for court? Because that form is not designed for real litigation. It's designed to help your judge clear the docket at the lowest cost in the fastest time. But your case deserves better than that. Your case deserves Courtroom5.
Trump vs Clinton: Who's In More Legal Trouble In The 2016 Election?
Legal troubles will plague the Democratic and Republican nominees for president throughout 2016. Which case has the greater potential to blow up in the candidate's face?
When In Doubt, Remember None Of Us Are Perfect
Those of us involved in litigation experience the full gamut of emotions, from guilt and shame at the financial issues that may have caused it to exhilaration at a tactical win or ultimate victory. We must learn to set our emotions aside and focus on winning.
5 Lessons Self Represented Litigants Learn The Hard Way
The first thing most self represented litigants need to do is to unlearn some untruths. No, the judge is not there to figure out who's right and who's wrong. The judge is only there as a referee while the two sides duke it out. Too often, we think we know what we need to know, but […]
"I've defaulted, so there's no hope" and other Litigation Myths
Myths and uncertainty about the litigation process can be detrimental to parties involved in a lawsuit, especially those representing themselves. Reliance on myths, in fact, can lead to wasted time, avoidable losses and other headaches. The best cure for uncertainty is information, and the best cure for myths is truth. So, below is my list of myths that self-represented […]
Trial Communication Tips
Two Things Great Communicators Do Well Mark Twain is credited with once saying, "It takes me three weeks to prepare for an impromptu speech."

The Rest of January Happenings
Colby participated in Cub Scouts this year at school. So, with it came our first Pinewood Derby. Though Colby was the only one who needed to create a car, Dan also helped Abigail & Isaiah make their own car to race. Here's Dan making the final adjustment to satisfy the weight requirement.
Isaiah was quite proud of his car!
Colby at the finish line.
Mom and I took the kids to see the Broadway touring production of "Wizard of Oz." It was quite good & Colby & Abigail enjoyed it! Abigail especially enjoyed an excuse to dress up!
Our winter was filled with quite a few snow storms, which the kids loved!

Michelle & Michael, Ravello wedding, September 2017
Michelle and Michael celebrated their wedding in the enchanting town of Ravello on the Amalfi Coast. Surrounded by a large group of family and friends they married in the idyllic Giardini della Principessa di Piemonte, a beautiful garden setting which offers incredible views of the coastline. The setting was perfectly complimented with accents of gold and deep red roses and Michelle walked down the deep red petal aisle to Elton John's 'Tiny Dancer', played acoustically on the guitar.
After the ceremony, everyone enjoyed a prosecco reception in the main square, giving the newlyweds an ideal opportunity to walk through the through the small, cobbled streets of Ravello with their very talented photographer Alfonso Longobardi, to capture some incredible wedding photography in the most picturesque spots.
The wedding reception was held at Villa Eva, a magnificent villa in a late liberty style set in an incredible panoramic location overlooking the sea. Guests were greeted at the Villa on the incredible 'Belvedere Edge' and enjoyed welcome drinks and canapés, whilst admiring the breath-taking view and incredibly tended gardens. Inside the Villa there was a 'cheesemaker corner' with local cheesemaker Biagio wowing everyone with his demonstration of how to make mozzarella and encouraging guests to sample the huge range of cheeses on offer.
Dinner followed in the marquee; the tables decorated with stunning floral decoration of gold candelabra and deep red roses and personalised bottles of limoncello were offered as favours for the guests. Speeches came post dinner and then everyone moved to enjoy the rest of the evening, the cutting of the cake and drinks and dancing to a DJ.
Thank you Michelle and Michael for letting us share in your wonderful wedding day!
With thanks to following:
Venue: Villa Eva, Ravello
Photographer: Alfonso Longobardi
Celebrant: Carmela Cesarano
Florist: Armando Malafronte

An older caterpillar starts developing adult butterfly parts before it changes into a chrysalis. In fact, a caterpillar has wings. The wings are simply developing inside of the caterpillar and they're not NEAR ready to use. Along with wings, its proboscis, legs, antennae, eyes, and other adult body parts are developing out of sight. The photo below has these parts labeled. Normally I don't use such a large photo on the blog, but with this photo, I wanted the parts clearly visible.
This photo is of a freshly pupated caterpillar. Remember; a chrysalis is simply a caterpillar without its skin. A few minutes before I took the photo, it was a Jing caterpillar, preparing to pupate. In three minutes, it changes from a caterpillar to an adult by simply 'shedding its skin'.
The labeled body parts that you see in this photo started developing in the caterpillar. As the soft fresh chrysalis reshapes over the next hour and develops for a week or more, these body parts as well as other adult butterfly body parts continue to develop. After they have fully developed, the adult butterfly emerges.
There are quite a few things going on inside the caterpillar and chrysalis that no one can see.
I try to always remember that when I am down on me. Hey, there's a lot of 'worm' about me but God is developing some pretty wonderful things inside me. No, not because I am special myself but because God loves me.
For years I have found myself praying that God will do two things:
1. Show me where I am wrong and need to change or grow
2. Show me wherd I have grown and changed for the better
The first one is easy. I see things I need to change every day. Patience, self-control (chocolate?), generosity, tolerance - it's enough to get downright discouraging! I know its God showing me because it's normal for people to think that they have a right to be impatient; after all (people often think), I'm as important (or more so) than he/she is! And so forth. It takes God to show me that eating wrong is a lack of self-control and no matter how bad my day has been, I need to take better care of the gift he gave me - a healthy body. Some fun food is fine as long as I do eat right overall.
The second one is what keeps me from becoming discouraged! God is gracious enough to show me where I have grown. How can I become discouraged when I can see God working in me? Sometimes (sadly, not always) I step back and allow someone else to go ahead of me (if I'm the only one in line so I'm not giving away other people's place in line too), I do turn down chocolate and other unhealthy food often, I sometimes give away things I want for myself, I realize that others have as much right to be wrong as I do (that grows tolerance in me), and I become encouraged. God IS working in me. I may not be changing fast, but I am changing inside. People may not see it on the outside yet - but I know that there are things going on inside that mean I am maturing.

Everything Austen Challenge Task 10
Emma 1996 Movie
Every time I watch this movie I am struck by how well Gwyneth Paltrow portrays Emma and all her foibles.
1996 gave us two adaptations of Emma – one for cinema and one for TV and I have to admit to admiring them both equally. I can't separate them.
Having said that, I may have a tiny preference for this one for reasons of loyalty to fellow aussies Toni Collette and Greta Scacchi.
Gwyneth's Emma is lovely and sweet. A little different from the novel, where you take longer to warm to her.
Emma can do no wrong in the eyes of those around her and becomes self-important, considering herself queen of her domain. She thinks she knows what is best for all those around her but as she arranges her players she soon learns the error of her judgement. She learns the difference between true kindness and condescending to be kind.
The acting is wonderful and sure, each convincing in their characters. Even those in love with Ewan McGregor will want to slap his face. One of my favourite characters in Emma is Jane Fairfax and I thought Polly Walker was mesmerising.
Overall a lovely adaptation of Austen's Emma.

Make your canine look wholesome with all natural dog food. I did so partly because I was not yet able to belief that bones had been suitable foodstuffs for canine, and because it was most just like the comfortable 'nutritionally full' kibbles I had now sworn off of. However no person had but proven me how you can make raw dog food. I definitely don't advocate this as the one method to uncooked feed, nor would I condemn people who choose to feed differently.
Beef trachea, trim, chicken and turkey feet are loaded in natural chondroitin and glucosamine which assist to construct wholesome joints. Try to feed your dog the rough percentage of bone, meat and organ meat that will happen naturally on this animal. Uncooked bones are comfortable enough to bend and digest easily. Feed liver once per week (or a number of small servings per week) and attempt to discover an organic source if possible as a result of the liver is chargeable for filtering toxins out of the body.
One of the best ways to inform if you're feeding the correct amount is to run your palms over your dog's ribs. All canine foods declare to be premium" and all pure," but with very few rules on what it takes to meet these skills, many of these claims are little greater than flashy advertising gimmicks and false advertising. You don't calculate the precise percentages of protein and carbohydrates, and the exact quantity of nutritional vitamins and minerals in every of your meals, and you don't have to do it together with your canine's meals.
I are likely to not do issues halfway, so I researched alternative diets for my dogs as much as I could earlier than leaping in but determined that feeding chicken wings to canines was a daunting leap of faith that I was not yet ready for. Use our information to totally different dog foods, including grain free, organic and pure. On the finish of the work, we settled on 134 formulas across 29 authorized brands.
When puppies are four to six months previous, they'll require a substantial amount of food and a good amount of calcium as they are constructing their grownup teeth. If feeding pork or salmon, be certain to freeze the meat for two weeks earlier than feeding to scale back the small risk of parasites. When you contact us, you will speak to a extremely educated Veterinary Technician with a background in animal health science who is dedicated to helping you discover the proper meals on your pet.

Understanding Adults with Learning Disabilities: As More Young Adults Who Received School-Based Accommodations for Their Learning Disabilities Enter the Workforce, Employers Need to Understand How They Are Faring in Employment Settings
Gerber, Paul J., The Journal of Employee Assistance
Since the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990 and its subsequent full implementation in 1992, persons with disabilities have taken their rightful place in America's diverse workforce. In the case of adults with learning disabilities (LD), the vast majority have entered the workforce in competitive employment settings upon leaving high school (Gerber and Reiff 1991).
Currently, there are tens of thousands of individuals with LD in the workforce, some of whom are doing remarkably well, some of whom are struggling. Unfortunately, there is a paucity of research on the realities of the workplace beyond job entry, but the extant literature presents some findings that can be helpful for employers and those in employment support roles.
At the inception of the ADA, employers felt more comfortable dealing with employees who had physical and sensory disabilities than with employees who had learning disabilities. Compliance with the ADA, in the form of removing architectural barriers and providing physical access, was easier to tackle for workers with physical and sensory disabilities (Gerber 1992). The more difficult disability issues rested in the population of persons with learning disabilities, who were oftentimes looked upon as a mystery.
Even at the end of the 1990s, employers had not reached a firm understanding about individuals with LD because of their invisibility--numerous research studies have found that well over 90 percent of persons with an LD do not disclose their disability in the workplace--and complexity (Price and Gerber 2001). Moreover, as the LD population was characterized as heterogeneous and not a "one size fits all" disability, it was difficult to consolidate thinking about employees with LD in terms of their performance and productivity.
Fortunately for today's employers and for employee assistance professionals, there are a number of research findings about the LD population that are useful in employment settings. They are presented here as a set of ideas that describe how adults with LD are faring in employment settings, The three areas are (1) the experience of employees with LD, (2) employers' expectations of workers with LD, and (3) "goodness of fit" and supports in the workplace.
Typically, adults with LD view their disability as an educational construct relevant to their K-12 years but not important to "life beyond school." Additionally, they see their after-school years as an opportunity to escape the stigma of having an LD and succeed in the workplace via a skill set that is more apropos to a specific job. The invisibility factor aids greatly in their thinking. In essence, they have the personal choice "to be LD or not be LD" (Price, Gerber, Mulligan, and Williams 2005).
With relatively little disclosure of LD in employment settings, the protections afforded by the ADA largely to gain access to reasonable accommodations--are absent (Price, Gerber, and Mulligan 2003). Part of the blame can be placed on secondary school-age programs that do not do an effective job of educating students with LD about the risks and rewards of utilizing the ADA (Price, Gerber, and Mulligan in press.) Since approximately 85 percent of students with LD go directly from school to work, the impact of this knowledge gap is difficult to overestimate.
While it is commonly known that people with LD are more likely to be unemployed than the general population of the United States, less well known is the problem of underemployment among individuals with LD. There are no hard data available, but anecdotal reports and interviews reveal that entry-level jobs often fall below (sometimes far below) the capabilities of individuals with LD, both cognitively and with respect to employability skills. This is thought to stem from the fact that learning disabilities are often equated with diminished competence or confused with mental retardation or autism, where adaptive ability is a significant issue. …

Terms and Conditions
All our products are made from natural, solid wood (not any engineered wood/machine made / fibreboard). We always use the best quality wood, nicely treated & seasoned to minimize the possibility of any cracking/damage. Still, there are minor chances of some moisture deep inside which may result in small cracks / slight bend after some time. In any such conditions, we will provide the best support possible. Below are our general terms & conditions, as per our policy.
1. All our products are warranted against any technical or manufacturing defect for up to 6 months after supply. This also includes any damage during the shipment, or if any part is found broken.
2. For any damage/defect, the item/part will be replaced OR repaired depending on the part & nature of the defect. If the damage is on a small detachable part of a product, we provide the replacement of the part. If the damage is on a portion of a big part which can't be detached (for example, a corner of a big swing panel/sofa frame is chipped off), it has to be repaired locally by the customer, we can provide assistance. In case if the damage needs repair by a professional, we reimburse the cost up to a reasonable amount only after our approval of the cost.
The most common damages are scratches, chip off and hairline cracks. These kind of damages don't affect the strength and functionality of the item and can easily be resolved by simple touch up / wood filling. We provide complete assistance to resolve such issues.
3. Due to the nature of our products, source and the type of services involved, our products are non-returnable once shipped OR picked up.
4. Since all our products are handcrafted; there are chances of minor variations in the design, carving, artwork pattern & alignments. This is not considered as any damage or poor quality. Most of the misalignment & balancing issues are resolved by manual adjustments.
5. The fabric design & shade keeps changing in the market, hence there are possibilities of minor variation in the cushion fabric. However we are trying our best to keep the shade same as shown on the website.
6. There are chances of scratches and chip offs on some parts due to poor handling by the carriers, long distance shipments, or even poor handling of our team. We are trying our best in packaging and handling; however there could be a small possibility. Such scratches & chip offs can be easily resolved by wood fillers and touch-ups and will be done by customers.
7. There are chances of cracks seen on any natural solid wood item. When the internal moisture dries, it shows up in form of cracks / bends. Most of these cracks do not affect the strength & functionality of the part and can easily be repaired by wood fillers and touch-ups available locally at any Home Depot / WalMart. However if the cracks are big and through the entire width, this may need some repair (if the part is big). Some of such damages can be easily be repaired by the customer with our expert guidance, or may need the help of a professional person. In such case we provide a compensation amount to a reasonable limit.
8. In cases where some damage needs to be resolved by local repair, but the customer doesn't agree / wants a replacement, we may consider it depending on the part and the type of damage. However the shipping charge for the replacement (both ways) has to be paid by the customer, including custom charges if applicable.
9. For custom orders, once the order is confirmed and the advance is paid, the amount is not refundable and the order can't be cancelled. However, if needed, we can try to find another option if possible.
10. For custom order items, it may take 3 – 6 months for delivery depending on the next shipment. Normally, all our shipments are on time as per schedule; however there could be a delay due to natural causes, delay by the carriers, customs or some issues at our manufacturing facility. There is no refund / reimbursement due to such delays.
11. If any small part like hardware is missing, we keep a stock of most items Delivery of such parts may take approximately 4-10 business days depending on location. However, if we don't have any part in stock, we need to ship it from our office in India which may take 1 - 2 weeks for delivery. For replacement of bigger parts or if the part is not in stock, it may take some time to replace until the next shipment arrives.
12. For all our local shipments within North America, we use FedEx & UPS as our carriers. There could be delays in the delivery by these carriers, either due to their management or customs clearance. Art Asia is not responsible for such delays in delivery and will not provide any compensation for the delays.
All our artistic products are the result of great hard work of the artists and their talent. We respect their talent & art and value their products. It is not appropriate to throw away these products just for some damage/defects. We provide full support to resolve such an issue. Thanks to all our customers for their understanding and support.

Why training and specificity is critical in getting results with neuromagnetics
Q Magnets are a magnetic field gradient generating medical device and provides the user with an optimized design based on extensive research and feedback. Even so, the magnetic field of a static magnet dissipates very quickly and the effect is highly localized. If you do not select the right Q Magnet model for the right target tissue, then there is very little chance of a therapeutic effect.
So selecting a magnetic device with an optimised design, with the right field characteristics and placing them correctly so that the penetrating field envelopes the offending target tissue are variables requiring the correct answers otherwise there will be very little effect.

Here's the footage from the Go Big 2011 FMX series which went down in Meihan and Fujisawa Japan. The Go Big series is one of the biggest FMX contest in Japan at the moment, and is the brainchild of Japanese FMX legend Eigo Sato. Japan is producing more and more top level FMX riders at the moment, and the scene is definately strong in Japan. The level of riding at the Go Big events was insanely high, and there are defiantly a lot of style points be given out!

Van Hedger, S. C., Heald, S. L., & Nusbaum, H. C. (2016). What the [bleep]? Enhanced absolute pitch memory for a 1000Hz sine tone. Cognition, 154, 139-150.
Abstract: Many individuals are able to perceive when the tuning of familiar stimuli, such as popular music recordings, has been altered. This suggests a kind of ubiquitous pitch memory, though it is unclear how this ability differs across individuals with and without absolute pitch (AP) and whether it plays any role in AP. In the present study, we take advantage of a salient single frequency – the 1000 Hz sine tone used to censor taboo words in broadcast media – to assess the nature of this kind of pitch memory across individuals with and without AP. We show that non-AP participants are accurate at selecting the correct version of the censor tone among incorrect versions shifted by either one or two semitones, though their accuracy was still below that of an AP population (Experiment 1). This suggests a benefit for AP listeners that could be due to the use of explicit note categories or greater amounts of musical training. However, AP possessors still outperformed all non-AP participants when incorrect versions of the censor tone were shifted within a note category, even when controlling for musical experience (Experiment 2). Experiment 3 demonstrated that AP listeners did not appear to possess a category label for the censor tone that could have helped them differentiate the censor tones used in Experiment 2. Overall, these results suggest that AP possessors may have better pitch memory, even when divorced from pitch labeling (note categories). As such, these results have implications for how AP may develop and be maintained.

Tech Gurus, Entrepreneurs And CEOs Weigh In →
Debating the superiority of Android or iPhone stirs up as much heated discussion as a political debate on healthcare or the economy.
You can talk market share, operating systems, ease of use, and functionality but there's an entirely different reason that people are so invested in this debate.
Smartphones have become such an integral part of our lives that they've become more than accessories. In fact, many people sleep with their smartphones, and nobody likes to hear someone insult their bedmate.
But at the same time, people also vote with their wallets, and Android is undeniably winning the market share battle, if not the profits per smartphone battle. So which platform will win? Click here to continue →

A series of political changes took place at Aberdeenshire Council on Monday following a special meeting of the full council.
The council is now led by an administration, 'The Partnership', comprising the 28-member SNP group and the four-strong 'Progressive Alliance' between Scottish Labour and Progressive Independent Councillors.
At the meeting, Cllr Hamish Vernal was elected as Provost, with Cllr Allison Grant as Deputy Provost.Cllr Martin Kitts-Hayes and Cllr Richard Thomson were appointed as co-leaders of the council.
In an arrangement thought to be the first of its kind in Scottish local government, Cllr Kitts-Hayes and Cllr Thomson agreed to job-share the positions of leader and depute leader.
Speaking afterwards, Cllr Kitts-Hayes said: "This partnership arrangement, which is the first of its kind in Scotland, marks a historic day for Aberdeenshire Council.
"The new Partnership Administration is committed to working together for the benefit of the residents and communities of Aberdeenshire. We're looking forward to getting on with the job."
Cllr Thomson said: "We're confident we'll be able to work together effectively and that collectively, we'll rise to the challenge."
Leader of the Scottish Labour Group, Alison Evison, said: "Ours is a progressive agenda, based on principles of equality, fairness, openness and accountability, which can deliver for all residents and communities across the whole of Aberdeenshire. This is a very positive agreement which has seen our respective groupings putaside our differences nationally in order to concentrate on what we all agree needs done locally."

On a cold, rainy, and windy Sunday night in Morgantown, West Virginia, the Penn State Nittany Lions stormed back from a late one goal first half deficit to put an abrupt stop to the Mountaineers' 2017 season.
After taking a 1-0 lead, Penn State, "stormed," back, if you will, to score three unanswered goals on their way to securing a birth in the Round of Eight of the NCAA Tournament.
West Virginia jumped out to a 1-0 lead late in the first half in the 34th minute thanks to junior forward Sh'Nia Gordon. The goal came off a corner kick that was played short instead of to the box. Gordon blasted the shot past nearly every player on the pitch, including Penn State goaltender Rose Chandler.
The Nittany Lions responded just five minutes later. Then again four minutes later.
The final dagger came just 10 minutes into the second half. From there, PSU held on for a 3-1 victory.
One team left ecstatic getting high five's from it's contingent of fans knowing they're returning to the Round of Eight for the first time since winning a National Championship two seasons ago. As for the other, they left in tears knowing their dreams of trying to return to the NCAA Championship Game were dashed.
West Virginia finishes it's 2017 season 16-4-3.
