He said he saw the Malcolm X resemblances, and he was making Mo' Better Blues at the time. He bought our album, No More Mr. Nice Guy, and he heard the song 'Jazz Music' on that. He was doing Mo' Better Blues about jazz, so he was like, 'Yo, I like the record that ya'll did, but ya'll didn't do an in-depth version of it. Why don't you do a re-make and update it? I got this guy who wrote this poem that has everything in there. His name is Lolis Eric Elie.' The poem didn't rhyme, so Guru just looked at that and took certain lines in that poem and added his little parts, and made it into a verse. And that was our thing, which caught the attention of Chrysalis Records. When they signed us, they thought we were going to do records like 'Jazz Thing' all the time. When we were just doing that for Mo' Better Blues."

So there's been some scuttlebutt on the island as of late regarding fishing, shark fishing and swimmers/snorkelers. Now, I'm not privy to the graphic details of conversations, but I am aware of the gist of them. I won't go into all of that right here, but I will give my opinion on the entire situation and leave it at that.
Let me first say that I love fishing. I grew up fishing. I still fish now and then. I support our fishermen and encourage them to fish. I enjoy sharks – thoroughly, actually. As a child I was obsessed with them. I could tell you anything about any species. If I could have had one in my bathtub as a pet, I would have. Now as an adult, I still love sharks. I still have a respectable knowledge of them. I don't fear them necessarily, but I do respect them and their habitat.
The backstory:
About two weeks ago, my friend and I decided to go diving for shells. Our first choice didn't look like a good spot that morning, so we decided to meet at Blind Pass. We'd snorkel the Sanibel side, move across the channel and hit the Captiva side all the way up North. We didn't find much luck on the Sanibel side, so we moved to the Captiva side.
Within 3 minutes of hitting the water at the Captiva jetty (my friend 5 feet behind me), I came face to face with a Blacktip shark – literally an arm's length away as I stood in 4 feet of water (see the pic below of the location – X marks the spot, even though this is an older picture and the jetty doesn't quite look like that now). He was small, maybe 3, 3 ½" feet, but he startled me. I startled him as he darted away quickly. After catching my breath (haha) we dove down and within a few feet from us was a very large ray head. It was a good foot and a half chunk. This was what our shark friend was nibbling on. Disturbing, I know.
How many of you reading this have stood in that exact spot?
I know, right?
As we continued to dive North, we came across quite a bit of bait/chum. Fileted fish, fish heads, chunks of meat, you name it….and the two of us were clearly getting more and more angry as we moved along. At one point (and keep in mind it's about 8-8:30am now), a fisherman clearly fishing for shark hopped in his kayak and headed out, passing us by no more than a few feet. We continued to dive and collect shells and on our way back I didn't notice a line in the water. When I came up for air, the fisherman whistled at me and gave me an aggressive gesture to move away from his line….and he was camped about 15 feet from the jetty….a jetty area that's absolutely crawling with swimming tourists, locals and children throughout the Summer months – and the water isn't always crystal clear since the Okeechobee overflows. Emphasis on the words "swimming" and "children".
Now as I mentioned previously, I fully support our fishermen. I just don't support them fishing where people swim. I don't support tossing unused bait in the water after a long night of shark fishing and I don't support day fishing for shark where people swim. It's asinine. This situation below is an example. Now picture a bunch of children to the left and five more fishermen on the right.
There is an understanding on certain beaches locally. At Lighthouse Beach, fishermen gather near the pier. They don't fish along the Western beach where the swimmers gather (as you can see below – no fishermen).
This goes for Bowman Beach as well. Why this respect is not extended at Blind Pass/Turner Beach is beyond me. Common sense tells me that if someone is in the water swimming, don't cast a line in the water. But some fishermen still do. Ok, maybe a 3 foot blacktip shark isn't going to hurt much. Now replace that with a hungry 6 foot bull shark.
Sanibel Island is known for one thing – Shelling. It is the Mecca of the shelling world. It is not however, the shark fishing capital of the world. Sharks in a way are like dogs. If you leave out food in a certain area, they will eventually learn to feed there. Turner Beach is becoming that area.
Some are calling for a buffer zone – 200 yards from the Turner Beach jetty extending North there should be absolutely no fishing. I agree with that view.
I have heard, "But we were here first! If you see our poles in the water, go swim somewhere else!"
Nope. Read up a couple of paragraphs. Sanibel is known for shelling and swimming. That's what people come here to do. So they were here first. Not you. You wanna fish over the bridge into the pass? Go ahead. No one is swimming there.
One day someone's going to get bitten at Turner Beach. Perhaps, someone's child.
At that point everything will change…but then it will be too late.

We're not exactly sure when the art of knife sharpening began. We assume it was a few weeks after the first knife was invented. Grog noticed his new tool wasn't cutting through the woolly mammoth's hide as easily as before and needed to do something. We guess he found a good stone and went to work.
It's been a bit refined since then.
Western style knife grinding or sharpening can be traced back to a northern region of Italy. Specifically, the areas surrounding Trento, Italy became the cradle of the knife grinding tradition. With the call of "L 'arrotino" people came to soon recognize the "moleta" was coming to town calling them to bring their knives out for sharpening.
Around the turn of the last century, immigrants from all over the world arrived at Ellis Island in search of the irresistible American Dream. The "Moleti" were no different, landing on American shores hoping to provide their "well honed" sharpening services to a new and growing American public. Although America was still a developing concept in those early days, the promise of great things was always in the hearts of these newly minted Americans.
Our ancestors picked up and delivered their knives in horse drawn carts and sharpened with hand turned stones. While the vehicles and machines have changed over the years, the names have not and the service remains the same. Like our ancestors, we love our work and love this business. And, if you ever use a knife sharpened by Master Grinding, you'll love it too.Watch "L 'arrontino"

The North Uist Development Company (NUDC) and North Uist and Berneray Community Councils have written to Western Isles MSP Alasdair Allan to ask him to relay their concerns about ferry provision to North Uist to the Transport and Islands Minister Derek MacKay.
They are calling for consultation with the community on the plans for a new ferry for the Uig-Lochmaddy-Tarbert triangle and for an independent study to be carried out on the ferry provision.
In the letter they state that capacity issues are impeding tourism development on the island and that a dedicated ferry for both North Uist and another for Harris would improve frequency on both routes.
They add: "The commissioning of every other new ferry to the islands in recent years has brought with it a programme of infrastructure works to support an improved service.
"We would suggest that there would be a strategic benefit to be gained from looking at Dunvegan as the dedicated deep water port for Lochmaddy sailings."
They point out that this would reduce the crossing distance from 25 to 18 miles and also make savings on fuel and a carbon footprint.
"It would also enable Uig to retain its role as a busy port serving sailings to Harris," they said adding that new breakwaters and the location of the Lochmaddy pier itself should be looked at.
They are also asking for improved community input on developing the timetable as well as earlier publication of summer timetables to assist visitors and tourism providers in particular.
They conclude: "We feel that a review conducted at the highest level, of which the upcoming consultations should be viewed as just the first part, is the best way forward to ensure a fit-for-purpose ferry solution for our islands."
Transport Minister Derek MacKay and Tom Docherty from CMAL are due to visit Uist in the coming weeks which has been welcomed by the NUDC ansd the Community Councils.

A standard expectation in education is that young students learn how to write legible well-formed letters. Research shows that handwriting is a foundational skill that can influence students' reading, writing, language use, and critical thinking (Saperstein Associates 2012). It has an important role in brain development, is necessary alongside technology in the classroom, and promotes success in other academic subjects. Handwriting provides children with the opportunity to create internal models for the symbol system necessary to succeed in academic disciplines (Dinehart 2013).
Research also demonstrates that children learn best by engaging in hands-on, active learning that incorporates the five senses (known as multi-sensory learning), therefore there we should provide plenty of opportunities for hands-on, multi-sensory learning when practicing handwriting (this includes letter and number formation).
Another study, conducted by Kast, Meyer, Vogeli, Gross, and Jancke (2007), found that targeting multiple senses during a writing training program helped students with and without developmental dyslexia to improve writing skills. Multisensory instruction can also help children become more invested in the classroom. Results of a study by Molenda and Bhavangri (2009) stated that students become emotionally involved in multi-sensory activities in the classroom.
Here are ten multi-sensory/hands-on approaches to help children develop handwriting skills and address problems such as illegible letters/numbers, inconsistency in letter/number size, and letter/number reversals.
1. Surface Tracing
Show your child a letter and ask him/her to pay attention to how it is formed/shaped. Then ask your child to try to trace it from memory on a table, door, window etc. You can also trace a letter on any surface and have your child guess what it is. Use a large surface or small surface. Write large or small letters. If your child is really struggling to trace or guess the letters, have her put her hand on yours while you trace the letter or put your hand on hers while you guide her to trace the letter.
You can even trace the letter on your child's hand and have her guess it and ask her to trace a letter on yours and have you guess it.
Research demonstrates that having children attempt to write/draw letters from memory is an effective strategy when trying to teach or trying to improve letter formation.
2. Stencil – Write the letters/numbers in stencils to naturally practice correct formation
3. Ask you child to trace letters/numbers with arrows cues on a piece of paper or a dry erase board. Once they have the hang of that (may take several sessions), ask them to trace without arrow cues.
Research shows that using arrow cues are an effective strategy when working with children on correct letter formation.
Here is an example of a worksheet with arrow cues that you can download for you use.
Here is a worksheet without arrow cues that you can download for your use.
You can get dozens of free worksheets, with and without arrow cues, that you can print out, by doing a search in Google Images for Handwriting Worksheets.
You can also purchase a handwriting workbook such as Lots and Lots of Letter Tracing
or a dry-erase book where your child can erase and rewrite the letters/numbers as many times as he/she wants.
3. Look at the letter and then write it on paper/dry-erase board from memory
Remember that young children don't have the same motor/hand control as older children (some older children with special needs also struggle with hand/motor control) so using wide-lined paper to give them more space to make their letters/numbers is beneficial.
This is what wide-lined paper looks like.
Young children (small hands) may also benefit from shorter/child-size pens/pencils.
4. Use the Wet-Dry-Try Method
The Wet-Dry-Try method is a component of the Handwriting Without Tears Program, a research-based handwriting intervention program. How does the Wet-Dry-Try method work? First the adult writes the letter on a chalkboard. Next the child uses a sponge and then their finger to go over the letter to make a nice wet version of the letter. Then the child lets the letter dry and traces over the letter with chalk. See detailed instructions below.
Handwriting Without Tears has even come out with an app ($4.99) where your child can try the Wet-Dry-Try method right on the IPAD.
Here is an image of the app.
and a short video about how it works.
5. Feel/touch letter formations. For instance, you could feel magnetic letters or make letters with play-doh or pipe cleaners and then feel/talk about their shape.
6. Write letters/numbers in sand or shaving cream.
7. Talk about letter formation. For example, describe what a letter looks like-"a B has a straight line and two curves coming out to the right, a C looks like a crescent moon, an E looks like a comb with some missing teeth, a V is two slanted lines that meet at the bottom, etc. Describe it to your child and have your child describe it to you. Talk about letter formation while you look at, write, or trace a letter.
8. Use mnemonic devices for b/d reversals. Mnemonic devices are research-based techniques a person can use to help them improve their ability to remember something. Here are some examples of mnemonic devices for b/d reversals.
9. Write letters in clay with the point or back end of a pencil/pen or other carving tool. This will allow your child to feel resistance when writing which is helpful for feeling letter formation and building hand strength. Your child can look as they write or look (only if needed) and they try to write from memory.
10. Incorporate music and movement into learning
Research demonstrates that music enhances learning and a component of multi-sensory learning (discussed above) often includes kenisthetic learning (learning that takes place by the student carrying out physical activities).
Check out these motivated students doing a Handwriting Without Tears dance that reminds them that when they write, they always start their letters at the top.
Here is a fun song that has the letters of the alphabet singing, dancing, and waving!
Keep in Mind
Keep practice sessions short (2 to 10 minutes for younger children or children who get easily frustrated and 10 to 15 minutes for older children or children who can work for longer periods without frustration), unless the child is eager to keep going.
For suggestions on ways to encourage children to complete tasks or assignments they do not want to do, read 3 Ways to Use Timers to Encourage Homework and Chore Completion and How to Use Schedules to Improve Children's Behavior.
Remember to always stay calm when working with a child or student, even if you think they should be getting something that they are not getting. If you get frustrated with them, they may start to feel anxious, angry, inferior, stupid, etc. which will lead to a less productive learning session.
Want to know if the strategies recommended in this article are working? Ask your child to write the alphabet and the numbers 1 – 10. Check how many letters have the correct form, positioning, and are clearly recognizable. Implement the strategies in this article two to five times weekly. At the end of a chosen time period (let's say 10 weeks) reassess your child's ability to correctly write 26 letters of the alphabet and numbers 1 – 10.
If you see improvement, you know the interventions are working. It is important for children to work on mastering one letter before moving on to the next. Mastery means they can correctly write the letter on a piece of paper from memory.

Additional Information
Studies estimate that between 10 to 30 percent of elementary school children struggle with handwriting (Karlsdottir and Stephansson 2002, as cited in Feder and Majnemer 2007). If you are concerned that your child is struggling with handwriting, talk to your child's school to find out if they share the same concern. If you are still unsure you can check with your child's doctor or review handwriting milestones and guidelines such as the ones at North Shore Pediatric Therapy which indicate that by six years old children typically should be able to copy or write their name and be able to write the alphabet without omitting letters. Children should also be able to write the alphabet in uppercase and lowercase letters without switching forms throughout. By seven years old children should no longer reverse the letters of the alphabet while writing (example: 'b' versus 'd'). They should also use appropriate capital letters and punctuation to write complete sentences.
If your child is significantly struggling with letter formation, handwriting, or acquiring other academic skills, despite consistent practice and guidance, inform your child's school and/or doctor. They should be able to refer you to the appropriate professionals to determine what might be interfering with your child's progress and what additional strategies might help. An occupational therapist can assess posture, pencil grip, visual perception, hand-strength, etc. (all important skills for writing development) and work with your child to address specific areas of need. Occupational therapists can be found your child's schools or your community. Contact your child's school, county, or insurance provider for more information on occupational therapists.

Former Master of the abandoned Liberian-flagged oil/ore carrier 'A Whale' took home the Seafarer of The Year Award at the Lloyd's List Awards held in London last night.
Captain Khan Jubair Niaz was Master of the TMT-owned 'A Whale' when it made international headlines earlier this year after it was found out to have been abandoned for 6 months off Suez as the company battled through bankruptcy proceedings. As the complex legal case unfolded, Captain Niaz and his 20 crew were left with a lack of basic supplies including food, water, fuel and communication, not to mention pay.
Accepting the award on Captain Niaz's behalf was Jan Webber, Director of Fundraising for Sailor's Society charity, which had liaised with the crew throughout the ordeal and helped spread the word of their dire situation.
"I was honored to address the assembled guests at last night's Lloyds List awards on behalf of Capt Niaz," Webber said in an emailed statement to gCaptain. "There is no doubt that he has succeeded in raising the profile of all seafarers in abandoned situations such as the A Whale."
A U.S. court eventually ruled in June that banks in Taiwan seeking to put pressure on TMT must allow cash to be used to pay for the costs of crewing and fueling 'A Whale'.
Other winners at last night's awards ceremony included Maersk Line, which took home Company of The Year Award, and Royal Bank of Scotland's Lambros Varnavides, who picked up the Lifetime Achievement Award. A full list of winner can be found HERE.

Yeah, I'm happy with the point - not sure whether Masuaku quite warranted two yellows, but it is what it is and in both cases it's a kind of 'seen them given' case.
Fabianski was probably our MotM, but I think Rice and Diop both had good games, as did Anderson.
What went on with Mings and El Ghazi Prime, do you know? Mings seems to have a bit of an edge to him, which might be good for him and you at some points in time but seemingly go either way.

Some important tips for solving CBSE Sample Papers
- Whenever you solve a sample paper, try to give it in a simulated test environment. Set a clock and time yourself so that you can answer all the questions in the defined time limit.
- Do not look at the answers while solving the paper. First attempt each question. When you have finished the test yourself, check the solutions.
- Always see the marks corresponding to the question before answering. Do not spend a lot of time on the short questions writing unnecessary points.
- If the questions asks you to make a table or diagram, make the table or diagram and practice. Sometimes students do not do that and on the day of the exam are unable to do so perfectly.
- After solving the test, check the answers and solutions and analyze yourself. FInd your areas of strength and weaknesses.
- The areas you think you are weak in, study again and then attempt the next sample paper.

Join us to chat about all things related to London transport on our new Facebook group, Londonist Roundel Ramblings — everyone welcome.
"So, where shall we meet for drinks."
"Dunno. South Bank? Covent Garden?"
"Nah, done those loads of times. Maybe somewhere a bit more, you know, off-the-beaten track?"
"How about Paddington? I hear they've got a new Draft House, and the Pergola roof gardens have just reopened."
"Paddington? What? Are you stupid. That's miles away. Let's just go to Borough Market again."
Hands up if you've ever had a conversation like this? It happens to us all the time and, unless we have particularly lazy friends, we suspect it's a common prejudice.
Paddington has a reputation as a distant, inaccessible place. In our mental maps of the capital, it's as far flung as Kentish Town, Hammersmith or Lewisham. Special effort is required to get there. You might as well suggest a meet-up in Addington as Paddington.
Why is that? And is this reputation justified?
Transport's a bit crappy
The presentation of so many cold shoulders towards Paddington must surely be linked to the transport options. In theory, all is fine. The station is served by no fewer than four tube lines. The trouble is, these are the most wretched and woebegone tube lines. Perhaps it's just a reaction to the poo colour, but the Bakerloo always strikes us as a bit rickety and smelly. The Circle, District and Hammersmith & City routes, meanwhile, are all prone to shaky service and dodgy next-train information. And what-the-marmalade-sandwich is going on with the tube map here? Should we catch the Circle line to Paddington, or the other Circle line? Is this one station, or two... or three? Arghhh!
Obviously, there are mainline train and bus options to the area, but most people would only look to the tube when invited to a night out in some place like Paddington.
There's not much around it
Visit the South Bank and you can take in Thames panoramas, dine in rooftop restaurants or spend some time in half a dozen world-class cultural attractions, plus the Shrek Experience. Stroll over to Covent Garden and you're in a magic kingdom of boutique shops, famous theatres, London Transport Museum, infinite restaurants, ballet and opera and street food and the Apple Store.
Paddington has a statue of a bear and some listed railway infrastructure.
OK, that's totally unfair. There's a heck of a lot to see and do in Paddington, from canal-side dining, to bridges that move, to the place where Penicillin was discovered. There are actually two statues of that bear, and one of seven memorials to Simon Milton. But while Covent Garden and the South Bank are surrounded by other areas of culture, Paddington is something of an island.
Sure, there's fun to be had in Maida Vale, and Bayswater, and the western fringes of Marylebone, but it's not exactly the stuff that postcards are made of. We're arguing about perceptions rather than realities here. To the typical gad-about-town Londoner, we'd speculate, Paddington feels like an isolated hub with not much happening around it. Once you're there, you're committed.
But is it as isolated as people think?
We've always argued that Paddington isn't so far from the centre as might be imagined. It's in Zone 1, after all. It's an easy walk from Marble Arch, which is kind of Oxford Street, which is obviously central.
But wait. We've outmanoeuvred ourselves with the next bit of research, because it turns out that Paddington really is a bit of a slog from the centre of town.
If we measure as the pigeon flies from Charing Cross — the official centre for mileage, if not the geographic centre — then Paddington turns out to be 3.5 km distant. That's precisely the same as South Kensington and Old Street tubes. It suddenly doesn't seem quite so central.
It gets stranger (at least to our mental map). Paddington station is further out from the centre of London than the edge of Battersea Park. Donald Trump might bemoan that the new US embassy is isolated in the hinterlands, but it's a kilometre closer-in than the bear-attracting terminus.
Well, it depends on your perspective — and where you're starting (and measuring) from. On the one hand, it's no further from the West End than the Tower of London, or Old Street station. Paddington is just 12 minutes from Charing Cross by Bakerloo line. Yet if you're venturing to the area from Bank or Bankside, for example, then it is a bit of a drag.
Whatever, the notion of Paddington as 'somewhere out in the sticks' is bound to change when the Elizabeth line is up and running — from autumn 2019. Tottenham Court Road will be just 4 minutes away; Liverpool Street 10 minutes. Maybe, finally, we'll be able to convince our friends to join us for a tipple in Paddington, and they won't equate it with deepest, darkest Peru.

Even if you don't have a large yard or a surplus of time to spend gardening, you can still have a lovely, thriving garden on your patio. Container gardens provide many benefits: they can attract birds and butterflies, add colour, fragrance and texture to your outdoor space and create a restful backdrop. When choosing plants and trees for your patio container garden, match species with similar light, soil and water requirements. If you live in a cold climate, take measures to keep plant roots from freezing over the winter.
Potted trees need at least 2 cubic feet of soil for every square foot of tree canopy. For the best results, choose small, semi-dwarf or dwarf varietals and slow-growing species. The Japanese maple (Acer palmatum) is a small, slow-growing tree with brilliant red or green foliage. This tree requires well-drained soil and protection from direct sun. The Little Gem magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora "Little Gem"), a slow-growing evergreen, produces large blossoms in spring and is extremely heat- and drought-tolerant. Other notable trees for containers include Carolina cherry laurel (Prunus caroliniana), crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia fauriei) and purple leaf plum (Prunus cerasifera "Atropurpurea").
Choose dwarf and slow-growing shrub species for the best results. Slow-growing shrub species require less maintenance and don't need to be repotted as often. The holly fern (Cyrtomium falcatum), which grows up to 18 inches tall, is a hardy evergreen that grows slowly and thrives in cool shade and well-drained soil. Dwarf bamboo (Bambusa sasa pygara) is a winter-hardy plant that grows up to 1 foot tall. An evergreen, dwarf bamboo can thrive in sun or shade. Other small, slow-growing shrubs include aspidistra (Aspidistra elatior), aucuba (Aucuba japonica), dwarf pomegranate (Punica granatum "Nana") and fatsia (Fatsia japonica).
Ornamental grasses add texture and height to your container garden. For the most pleasing aesthetic effect, choose varieties with symmetrical and arching growth. Japanese blood grass (Imperata cylindrica "Red Baron"), which grows up to 2 feet tall and has green stems with brilliant red tips, grows well in containers. This hardy, drought-tolerant grass thrives in sun to partial shade and moist soil. Other good container species include blue oat grass (Helictotrichon sempervirens), creeping sedge (Carex siderosticta "Variegata") and fountain grasses (Pennisetum spp.).
Not only do vegetables provide attractive foliage and blooms for your patio garden, you can eat the results of your work. Almost any vegetable can grow in a container, but it's important to choose the best variety for your particular space. Varietals that thrive in containers, as recommended by Texas A&M University, include Packman and Bonanza broccoli, Thumbelina and Little Spike carrots, Early Pik and Crispy cucumbers, Jalapeno and Red Cherry peppers, Dixie and Zucco squash, and Patio, Pixie and Tiny Tim tomatoes. Also, almost any variety of spinach or turnip can thrive in a container.

Herbs can thrive in containers and provide the added benefit of fragrance and culinary use. Group several small species, such as sage, oregano, thyme, chives, marjoram, cilantro or chamomile, in one large container. Plant large, spreading species such as mint, rosemary, lavender or bay in their own containers.

we don't see new fly tying tool concepts very often but this just-out razor blade holder should make more than one deer-hair aficionado very happy. not only is it a razor holder to not have to hold it whilst trimming hairs (the squeamish don't need to worry as they'll still have the possibility of slicing their fingers when placing or removing the blade) but there's also an adjustable slider allowing the user to repeatably adjust the amount of bend in the blade. neato !
click here to order yours at Dally's Ozark Fly Fisher and watch those fingers !

How to Search the Web on Samsung Galaxy Tab
You can search the web a couple of different ways from the Samsung Galaxy Tab. Of course, you can use the Galaxy Tab Browser. Or you can use the Google Search app. But perhaps the handiest way to find things on the web is to use the Google widget on your Samsung Galaxy Tab. That widget doesn't come preinstalled on any Home screen panel, so you'll have to add it.
Search using the Galaxy Tab Browser
To search for something anytime you're viewing a web page in the Browser app, touch the Search icon button, found on the right end of the Address bar.
Type the search term into the Address box. You can choose from a list of suggestions.
To find text on the web page you're looking at, as opposed to searching the entire Internet, follow these steps:
Visit the web page where you want to find a specific tidbit o' text.
Press the Menu icon button.
Choose Find on Page.
Type the text you're searching for.
Use the left- or right-arrow button to locate that text on the page — backward or forward, respectively.
The found text appears highlighted in green.
Touch the X (Done) button when you're done searching.
The Google Search app, found on the Apps Menu, works like a full-screen version of the Google widget. Use the app to search the web.
Add the Google widget to the Galaxy Tab
A widget works like a tiny, interactive or informative window, often providing a gateway into another app on the Galaxy Tab. Just as you can add apps to the Home screen, you can also add widgets.
To add the Google widget, follow these steps:
Touch the Customize icon button on the Home screen.
Choose Widgets.
Scroll the list to find the Google widget.
Drag the widget to a Home screen panel.
The Google widget is plopped on the Home screen.

The book was enjoyed by all members present at the meeting. It has been many months since all liked the suggested book! All felt that Ms. Maathai's life has been inspirational. Many members noted her positive attitude and determination not to back down when she believed in her goal. She founded in 1977, the Green Belt Movement. In the first 10 years, the GBM planted over 20 million trees in Kenya alone. She has worked with mothers and strongly believed that every tree planted is significant and that each alone may be insignificant but the cumulative effect has a significant impact. She has given many women a goal and has empowered them to change their community.
Ms. Maathai's description of her childhood and of Kenya give's the reader the opportunity to learn about what Africa was like, what it is today, what is needed to become a developed continent. We also talked about what she had to sacrifice for the greater good, her family life and her health. She acknowledges throughout the book that the opportunity to study in the
via the "Kennedy Airlift" gave her the confidence and knowledge she needed to stand up for what she believed further in her life. United States
Those who wish to read more about the Green Belt Movement can check the website. It has along with information about the Movement, ongoing articles about the present situation in Kenya.
As usual Jolene found the reference to the title of the book. In the Anchor Books 2006-07 soft-cover edition, it is on page 222. halfway through chapter 10. The actual quote is "The story of Freedom Corner did not end with my hospitalization or the dispersal of the mothers. We remained unbowed. The day after the police attach, many of the women, on their own, returned to Freedom Corner". The Webster dictionary defines the word "Unbowed" as 1. not bowed down; 2. not subdued. it is, in my opinion (Michèle) the perfect title for the autobiography of this woman!
The next meeting is March 31st, one week later than the normal 4th Monday of the month because of Easter. It will be at Beth's home. The book is Jolene's choice Life of Pi by Yann Martel.
April's meeting will be at Linda's home with Beth's choice of book, The City of Falling Angels by John Berendt. Those of you who enjoyed his first book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil will surely enjoy this book about Venice!
May's meeting will be at Shirley's home with Colette's choice, Suite Française by Irène Nemirovsky.

"Thomas Telford's London bridge design.
Telfords 180m single arch proposal for the 1799 competition to design a replacement for the Medieval London Bridge. The design was not adopted due to the amount of land required for the approaches. A new bridge, designed by John Rennie, and completed by his son, was built in 1824-31.
Rocker-Lange Architects are releasing their proposal for the "London Bridge 800: Inhabited Bridge" competition. The proposal for a Living Bridge over the River Thames was one of the schemes of the Living Bridge Competition for the 800's aniversery of London Bridge, London. The scheme was selected by the jury to be included in several exhibitions in London and Manchester.
The proposal seeks to readdress the typology of the terraced house in a contemporary interpretation by implementing the concept of cross scalar variation to achieve varying programmatic and formal identity and a unique spatial configuration. On the other hand the scheme provides a uniform and holistic building envelope for the entire composition on London Bridge, ensuring a strong iconic identity for the structure and the city.
The bridge provides two main promenades that are situated on the perimeter of the bridge. While the east promenade is accessible to both, vehicles and pedestrians the west promenade is only accessible to pedestrians. Intervals of cross connectivity through the commercial folded landscape are structured by the terraced housing arrangement and generate an easy movement between the two promenades.
London architect and tutor at the Architectural Association - Lawrence Friesen.
He designed a sinuous second bridge to be built above the existing crossing, which would allow traffic to continue using the link."
