Media Arts and Studies students recently made up the majority of twelve Ohio University students who were selected as semifinalists in the Disney Imaginations Design Competition. According to this article by Julia Brown,
For students in the Storytelling, Technology and Digital Media in Theme Parks class, the pinnacle of the class is entering the Disney Imaginations Design Competition. The competition, which began in 1991, is created and sponsored by Walt Disney Imagineering to help develop the next generation of Imagineers. The 2018 competition challenged students to revitalize a real-world abandoned ghost town.
This year, out of over 270 entries, three teams from the Scripps College of Communication class were selected as semifinalists, placing them in the top 15 percent of participants. Semifinalists are invited to apply for select Disney internships and have an opportunity to get feedback from Disney Imagineers. First place went to a team from the Savannah College of Art and Design.
For Media Arts & Studies Associate Professor Beth Novak and Game Research and Immersive Design (GRID) Lab Director and Instructor John Bowditch, there is hardly a better way to learn about storytelling than to examine the Disney theme parks and the magic that goes into them. Thus, the Storytelling, Technology and Digital Media in Theme Parks class was born.
"While visiting the parks in 2011 with my family, I was struck by the convergence of everything we do in the college into a deep storytelling experience that respects the audience," Novak explained. "I thought, 'This is the perfect example to demonstrate to students what we can achieve with our disciplines.'"
Since its inception in 2013, COMM 4023 has acted as a synthesis class that attracts students from each of the five schools within the Scripps College of Communication. Their fall semester is spent studying the storytelling elements that go into creating the multimedia, immersive environments of theme parks, followed by a weeklong trip to Disney World to see these elements in action. For students like Dani Young, a senior publication design major, this class has been on their radars since freshman year. In her words, "Who wouldn't want to learn everything about Walt Disney World?"
"This interdisciplinary course and study abroad program is distinctive in how it provides students to see how digital storytelling applies in a world-renowned setting like Disney," said Dean Scott Titsworth. "Professors Novak and Bowditch have carefully crafted this experience to make it high-impact and exciting. This extra effort on the part of faculty members that results in an experience that students will remember and benefit from for years."
Senior news and information student Megan Ryan revealed she was first interested in the class because of the glitz and glamor of being able to go to Disney World. "But once I learned more about it, I figured out it would be incredibly interesting to learn how Disney was able to portray and tell their stories so well in their theme parks," Ryan said.
This knowledge about the background and behind-the-scenes of the parks made the trip to Disney World even more special, especially for Patrick Evans, a senior integrated media major. He described seeing parts of the park he had seen before in a brand-new way. "The whole in-class experience prepares you by dissecting the parks. Upon arrival to Magic Kingdom, having been there before, I saw the park in a whole new way...Everything you learn in the class makes you really appreciate all of the small details."
The students' appreciation for these small details came in handy when it came time to work on their Disney Imaginations submissions. For many students, the competition ended up being the most exciting part of the class. "The Disney Imaginations Competition was a requirement to complete the class, but looking back I think it was the best part about the class," said Ryan. "I learned a lot about harvesting my creativity and using it for something useful. Instead of letting my mind wander off with ideas, I was able to hone in on them and apply them to this project."
Her teammate, Patrick Evans, agreed. "While this is a required part of the course, it never felt like a requirement—it was a fun challenge...It was a long, long journey, but one that brought our group together as friends."
The course and the Disney Imaginations competition opened students' minds to potential new paths for post-graduation. "This incredibly unique course opened my eyes to a whole new career path, and I am now applying to many professional internships with Disney because of it," Young said. She explained that the Imaginations project was one of the biggest accomplishments from her time in Scripps, adding that her team's ability to go from a prompt to a fully conceptualized theme park in a month was an incredible feeling.
Eric Perzanowski, a senior screenwriting and producing major, is considering re-entering the competition post-graduation. "The competition is open to past participants (assuming they weren't selected as finalists) as well as recent graduates, so I wouldn't be opposed to entering again next year, assuming I have the time post-graduation and a good team to do it with."
In 2016, two Ohio University alumni, Geoffrey Backstrom, BSC '15, and Katie Eastman, BFA '15, and then-senior MDIA student Courtney Irby, BSC '16, worked with a University of Washington student in the competition and won first place. Eastman went on to work at Disney and now works full-time as an Imagineer.
A common thread that the students found throughout the competition was the ability to rely on and collaborate with other students from across many different academic backgrounds. "It isn't often that students in the Scripps College of Communication get to form a community from other majors within the college during a class. These students each have a different approach to the course content, making the class much more interesting," Novak pointed out.
Strategic communications senior Sarah Kelly stressed the importance of collaboration across majors. "There is no way I could have made our project look as great as it did [by myself] and having people on my team with completely different majors than me was a huge learning opportunity," she said. "We all came together to hone in on the theming of our project, which I think helped us a lot in the competition."
"Scripps students have so many skills," Young concurred. "It is great to see what we can make when different skills and media come together."
The Tier III class is offered every fall through the Office of Global Opportunities. It is open to seniors who have completed at least 15 credit hours in COMS, ITS, JOUR, MDIA or VICO. The deadline to apply is March 19.

Zantac is the brand name version of a drug called Ranitidine, which is a form of oral drug that's able to block the creation of acid by acid creating cells inside the stomach. Zantac is a part of a class of drugs known as H2 (histamine-2) blockers. Histamine is a chemical that occurs naturally and it stimulated different cells in the stomach (mainly parietal cells) to create acid. H2 blockers stop the action of histamine on the cells and as a result they lower the production of stomach acid.
Too much stomach acid can cause problems to the esophagus, stomach, duodenum and lead to inflammation and ulceration. Lowering stomach acid stops and heals acid induced inflammation and ulcers.
What are some of the potential common side affects you might be at risk for if you decide to use this medication?
Muscle pain
What are some of the more serious potential side affects you might be at risk of if you use this medication?
Easy bruising or bleeding
Hair loss
Irregular heartbeat
Visual changes
Yellowing of the skin or eyes
How do you balance taking this medication with taking medications for other conditions you might have?
In order to ensure a drug like Zantac works for the condition it's being given to you for, then you have to make sure whatever other medications you're taking aren't going to pose a problem. The reason this is important is because any prescription medication you take comes with the chances of side effects. When you take multiple treatments then the chances of your experiencing some, along with the severity of the side effects can be high.
What you need is some balance and there's a few ways you can ensure you get this. Here are a few examples:
You'll need to develop a regimen for taking different medications. This means you'll have to make sure you take your different treatments at the same time each day. You'll have to be serious about this. Taking them too far apart or too close together can be the main reason why you experience complications you can avoid. A routine is going to help you manage things better and stay consistent.
You need to make sure you know which drugs you're taking need to be look at. When you speak to a doctor about this they'll know fast which drugs will interact badly with Zantac. These are going to be drugs you'll either have to have switched to something else that doesn't have problems or reduce the dosage, etc. In some cases a different treatment option other than Zantac for your condition will be prescribed in placement of this.
It's less about balance more than it is about management. Taking multiple medications can be tough for anyone. What you have to focus on is understanding which ones won't interact well, creating an effective regimen, and keeping in touch with a medical professional who can keep track of your progress to make sure no adaptations need to be made. Management of multiple medications is something a medical professional can also assist you with if you ask.

How To Use Plastic Worms To Catch Big Bass
Here are some great videos on how to use plastic worms (and other baits).
Here are some great videos on how to use plastic worms (and other baits).
WELL! The first video kinda opened my eyes to why I have a hard time catching. I feel that I simply reel in and not use my rod to move the hook forward. A technique I've never been told about.. At least I never took notice to this. I feel like such a novice.
This is definitely the best source I've seen for properly baiting your hook, period! You know your plastic worms for catching bass.
The Carolina Rig looks very effective and lines the bait up well with the hook. I'll remember this one for sure, and likely use it for now on.
I'm sure you'll be hearing more from me, but cheers for now!
What a great resource for videos? I love that you have so many options here for people on different levels of fishing. I love reading and browsing the web for articles but videos are so much easier. It's hard not to learn something when you get to see a visual for it. Your site has a great collection of videos and useful information. This is a goldmine for many. Thanks for taking the time create all this. I am recommending your site to my dad. He absolutely loves bass fishing. He has a 7.5 lb bass mounted on the wall in his garage. I loved growing up fishing with my dad and younger brother. What a great time to have with you family. How about you? Do you fish with your family a lot too?


text: Methadone is an opioid agonist. Since the 1960s, it has been the most widely used medication for opioid use disorders. Methadone is available only at licensed clinics—ideally, along with access to other clinical services. In the context of treatment for opioid use disorders, methadone offers some advantages. When taken daily, it can reduce cravings, decrease withdrawal symptoms, promote abstinence from other opioids, and help people remain functional in daily life. Methadone can meet the needs of certain systems and the audiences that they serve. However, methadone use also introduces some risks. Because methadone is a full opioid agonist, it is possible for users to get intoxicated. Methadone has considerable street value along with a history of being diverted for nonprescription use. In deciding whether to include methadone in your Medication Assisted-Treatment (MAT) program for opioid use disorders, it may be useful to consider Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation's experience. Marvin D. Seppala, MD, chief medical officer for the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, explains why the organization decided against methadone use: We chose to provide buprenorphine (also known as suboxone) for treatment of opioid use disorders rather than methadone for a number of reasons. We found that buprenorphine was a better medication for our patient population and our goals of transitional use of MAT versus long-term medication maintenance. While methadone is very effective and useful for certain populations, most people in methadone maintenance programs commonly don't have an abstinence orientation, which can result in continued use of benzodiazepines, cocaine, alcohol, marijuana, and other drugs. This is not in keeping with our abstinence-based, Twelve Step model, and it would have been difficult to gain approval in our system for its use. Plus, the regulatory limitations with methadone are onerous, which makes buprenorphine a much easier, more convenient decision for our patients. Excerpted from Integrating the Twelve Steps with Medication-Assisted Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder: Best Practices for Professionals, a guide for administrators, clinicians, doctors, and nurses for implementing Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation's groundbreaking program, COR-12®, to treat patients with opioid use disorders in residential and outpatient addiction rehab centers.

"I'm actually of Syrian descent, which as of now is still on the U.S. list of terror-encouraging countries," says singer-songwriter Malek Zavaro. "Which is B.S." The 30-year-old Usher-inspired crooner was in grade school when his Middle Eastern family moved from Dubai to San Diego in 1988.
"Even though I spoke English, I was picked on and bullied, due to my heavy accent.… I actually got trash-canned my first day of school at Montgomery Middle School. I had no friends all throughout junior high and very few friends in high school. I hated the weekends, so I'd just sit in my room and sing. American pop music was my friend."
An unabashed Michael Jackson fanatic, Zavaro's romantic electropop demos earned him an agent in the Middle East, Eddy Boustany, who landed his debut album a 14-country distribution deal with Virgin Records stores in the Middle East and Europe.
"When the CD comes out next month," says Zavaro, "I'll be one of the few Middle Eastern–American [performers] who isn't at least a second- or third-generation American."
His debut performance as a solo artist happens Friday, April 16, at USD's Joan B. Kroc Center. "This is my first organized and produced show, rehearsed with my band, where people have purchased tickets. I'm performing only my own songs, not covers, and I'm not sharing the stage with another act."
Even if Zavaro's album beats the odds and takes off overseas, he says the childhood traumas he suffered over his heritage will always be hard to let go of, for both him and his tormentors.
"The kid that trash-canned, Collin, me was one of the biggest bullies in school, and he committed suicide a couple of years back, from depression. He apologized to me for what he did, a few months before his suicide."

Press Room
As an Author, Becca Mann is no Fish Out of Water
By Phil Hersh, Chicago Tribune Reporter
BALTIMORE — Becca Mann says "The Stolen Dragon of Quanx" is close to being published, perhaps early next month. And she might have completed the 450-page manuscript for the first installment of the planned "Eyes Trilogy" sooner if so many other things hadn't taken up her time.
There were the frequent trips from southwest suburban Chicago to the west coast of Florida to work with an eminent coach and finally a move south for Mann three years ago. Then another move, in January, to Baltimore, as Mann continued to seek the coaching she felt would further her swimming career.
And there was swimming in the 2012 U.S. Olympic trials, where she was fifth in two events and sixth in a third. Competing in the open water events at the 2013 World Championships. Winning her first U.S. open water title in June. Preparing to swim five pool events at the U.S. championships Aug. 6-10 in Irvine, Calif., where she will be a podium contender in the distance freestyles and individual medleys and can get a leg up on making the 2015 world team.
Not to mention school.
It all meant Mann needed to take a year's break from writing "The Stolen Dragon of Quanx." When she got back to it, much of the first couple of chapters needed reworking, not surprising since Mann first had written them at age 11.
She is only 16 now.
She wants no extra credit for being precocious.
"I don't like to think of accomplishments based on my age," Mann said. "I don't judge myself against anything."
For an athlete, that really cannot be the case because results and times always will be measures of accomplishment. By those standards, even in a sport like women's swimming where youth frequently is served, Mann's early success is impressive.
And getting a book ready to be self-published by age 16 isn't bad, either. Where that goes remains to be seen. But think of another fantasy genre writer, Christopher Paolini: he wrote a first draft of "Eragon" at 15, self-published it with his family three years later, had the book picked up by a major publisher and later made into a movie.
"Very interesting!" Mann wrote in an email after learning the back story of Eragon's success.
Mann's mother, Beth, a real estate attorney, was not initially aware that her daughter had begun writing a book.
She also was not surprised that the middle of her three children was doing it.
"I would expect that," Beth Mann said. "Everyone has projects in our house."
Make that houses.
The biggest project may be keeping track of who is doing what, when and where in households with schedules so complicated no one dares miss one of the regular family calendar meetings that allow Beth Mann to make sure everyone is accounted for. That includes Dock, a beach stray cat from Florida whom the Manns took in, brought to Baltimore and fly to Illinois to join Becca's other cat, Backstroke, when she is on long swimming trips.
"I'm a big planner," Beth Mann said, grievously understating the truth outlined in her three family calendars.
She and Becca are sitting in the dining room of a rented house about a mile uphill from Meadowbrook, a pool where literary giant F. Scott Fitzgerald swam during his years in Baltimore, the pool where Becca trains with the aquatic giants of the North Baltimore Aquatic Club. It is as if her being at Meadowbrook owes more to destiny than coincidence, that this is the place where a young writer/swimmer should be.
Especially because few young people have taken charge of their destinies as thoroughly as Becca Mann has.
It was she who pushed at age 13 for the move to Belleair Beach, Fla., so she could train full time with swimming Hall of Fame coach Randy Reese. Her parents went along with the idea despite its logistical consequences, which included making sure someone was in the rented house in Florida — mother, father, grandparent, friend — to be with Becca.
"We never thought of saying no," Beth Mann said. "Life is supposed to be fun."
There was no stated quid pro quo involved from Becca because of what the family was doing for her. There did not need to be.
"I always give 100 percent," Becca Mann said. "They knew when they told me I could move that I would do everything in my power to make myself the best I can be while also having a lot of fun doing it."
She eventually would turn to home schooling, with teachers at her former grade school, Noonan Academy in Mokena, overseeing the work through eighth grade. Beth Mann then found teachers in Florida to work with Becca, and they continued teaching via Skype through the end of this school year — her sophomore year of high school.
Meanwhile, her sisters, Rachel, 18, and Julia, 14, kept living in Homer Glen, where their father, Bob, has based his pharmaceutical sales business.
"It's really not normal, but we make it work," Mann said, punctuating her thought, as she does frequently, with a staccato laugh. "We're nomads."
Rachel, who graduated from Benet Academy in June, is headed to Georgia Tech in August to begin studies in biomedical engineering. She is a junior national team member in triathlon who just spent two weeks backpacking in Europe, will compete in the U.S. Triathlon junior elite championships Aug. 2 in Ohio, spend a few days in Irvine watching Becca race and then go to Milwaukee for the senior sprint distance championship Aug. 10.
Julia, about to begin her freshman year at Benet Academy, is the sister who at 8 earned $500 one summer making scented, colored soaps and selling them in the neighborhood.
"Everybody in our house is filled with internal drive," Beth Mann said.
Becca felt driven to join NBAC when she began reading last summer about all the big-name swimmers joining the Bob Bowman-coached group Michael Phelps headlines and includes seven Olympic medalists.
"I love swimming, and I like change," she said. "I was looking at this group and thinking, 'Wow!'"
So she emailed Bowman last November, came for a tryout last December and moved to what she calls "swimming heaven" in January.
"She is hyper focused on what wants to do, and fearless in training," Bowman said. "She always asks for the hardest workout."
At the beginning, Mann quickly found she wasn't in the shape to handle such workouts against training rivals like Allison Schmitt, 2012 Olympic champion in the 200-meter freestyle and silver medalist in the 400 free, and Denmark's Lotte Friis, 2013 world silver medalist in the 800 and 1,500 freestyles.
Mann, two years younger than any of the NBAC elite swimmers, began to keep up after adding the first intensive and regular dry-land workouts to her training. Her expressed joy at the anticipation of a particularly brutal pool session led Friis to bar Mann from using the words "fun" and "exciting."
"There is always somebody in this group having a great day in the pool," Mann said, "and if you're not having a good day, you're going to get killed. I love that there is always someone faster than you. It's a really big part of getting faster yourself."
Mann showed off both her speed and fitness at the May Grand Prix meet in Charlotte. She swam 12 races in seven events over four days, including the 400 IM, 400 and 800 free, took second in four finals and set personal bests in the two long freestyle races.
"What impresses me most is how quickly she made a big technical change in her freestyle," Bowman said.
Like most open water swimmers, Mann tended to keep her head high in the water. She now has a much lower head position in the pool, which is also where Mann trains for the open water events, at distances of 5,000 and 10,000 meters. She was eighth in both at the 2013 worlds, where she also was the second youngest in the fields.
Mann wants to make the 2016 Olympics in both open water and pool swimming. One of her NBAC teammates, Ous Mellouli of Tunisia, not only did that in 2012 but he also won the open water gold medal and took the 1,500 freestyle bronze in the pool.
For now, there are pool nationals to swim and a book to get published. The cover went online last month.
Near the end of the book, in Chapter 18 of 20, a fisherman's daughter, Kale, has grasped the enormity of her undertaking to save Quanx from conniving dragons. She understands the effort will be worth nothing if it fails.
This is, in Mann's words, the moment of Kale's epiphany:
The reality of the situation hit her even quicker and stronger than Karl's sword had cut across her eye. Until now, the journey had seemed like some distant adventure filled with action and glory.
A bit of autobiography? Becca Mann demurred.
"I can't really relate to it," she said, " since my journey is exciting no matter the outcome."

I got my first Essie polish from G :)
This is two coats of Essie - Wicked. Easy application and drying time, altho the brush is huge compared to what I'm used to. It looks a bit streaky here but that wasn't visible IRL. It's a nice vampy polish :)
This is what it looked like with one coat. For some reason I liked this look and could've worn it like this if not for wanting a proper swatch on the blog. Weirdo! Lol.

WHAT'S THE D.E.A.L.? Between crafting hits for hip-hop's A list, the Neptunes (producers Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo) find time to work on N.E.R.D. (which also includes Shay, who contributes vocals), an outlet for their more offbeat ideas. "With the Neptunes, we're the crayons for other people's coloring book," says frontman Williams. "But with N.E.R.D., this our own coloring book." As with their 2002 debut, In Search Of…, the upcoming disc is "hip-hop-minded, but not hip-hop-sounding," says Williams. "It's psychedelic in the sense that this is mind music — not necessarily distorted or warped or contorted. I think on every song you could close your eyes and envision different things."
MUM'S THE W.O.R.D. Williams is frustratingly hush-hush about album details. Guest cameos? "I can't tell you that. I don't want to say." Song titles? "I just can't tell you." Why not? "Because I want you to be happy with it instead of competing with the expectations of what you already have. Then when you hear the final thing, you're like, Whoa!"
JUST A TITLE? P.L.E.A.S.E.? "Fly or Die," says Williams. That wasn't so hard, was it? "I always think I say the dumbest s — – [in interviews]," he explains. "I don't say the right thing. I think my music is much more accurate than my response to questions." (March 23)

If you could have three people living or dead at a dinner party at your house, who would you have?
This is the kind of question entertainment journalists are always asking celebrities. Having spent the last few years working closely with a celebrity, the question takes on a different meaning. I can imagine a phone call, "Hey, Manaster. Hank Aaron, Abraham Lincoln and Jesus Christ are coming to my house tomorrow night. Can you organize dinner? Jesus is a vegetarian, I think, but you should call his assistant and find out for sure. I don't have the number but I think George Clooney's assistant knows her..."
And I'd do it, wouldn't I? I'd call my boss's publicist who would track down Clooney's publicist, who would get me in contact with Clooney's assistant, who would put me in touch with Jesus's assistant, on whose voicemail I'd leave a sweet message asking about Mr. Of Nazareth's culinary demands. She would text me some hours later that Jesus is mostly a vegetarian, although he has a weak spot for lamb. Armed with this knowledge, and with the knowledge that my boss hates lamb, I would call a very good, but not too froo-froo caterer who I met at the premiere for my boss's last thing. She would be silent for a moment, thinking, and then a light would go off and she would suggest that we serve pizza and beer and salad for $95 a head. I would say, "That sounds great, I'll see you tomorrow night." And I would cancel my plans and hang in the kitchen while Jesus and Hank Aaron and Abraham Lincoln and my boss suck on hot cheese and talk sports and pop psychology.
I have dinner parties all the time, and nobody has ever asked me this question. Well, if you want something done right...
Ilana, if you could have three people living or dead at a dinner party at your house who would you have?
Hmm, a tough question, self. I'm glad you asked. I would have Iris Murdoch, Deborah Eisenberg, and Romaine Brooks. We would have fresh oysters and salad and alcohol by the truck load. For dessert there would be strawberry shortcake and coffee and more alcohol and a live gypsy band. We would laugh and laugh and laugh, and then we'd pose naked for Romaine who, giddy with drink, would paint us up as French whores.
It would be good fun. And I wouldn't call anyone's assistant.

Sounds totally wonderful. I would have Paul Monette, E.M. Forster, and Evelyn Waugh, and it would of course be for cute brunch. Sadly, your Romaine Brooks link has expired, though

Updated. Thanks for letting me know!

Do you think next time someone asks me this you could help hook me up with George Clooney's assistant or publicist or whoever so that they could get in touch with Edward Norton by way of his sister's friend's brother's dog walker? I couldn't get in track him down, so I had to settle for Martha Stewart, JFK Jr., and Hugh Hefner at my dinner.
- ilana manaster said...
Ooh. Martha Stewart's a good one. She drinks, right? Do you think she'd get along with Hef? What would you serve?

Masterful Masterson, Bogus Bullpen
The Red Sox needed an emergency starter yesterday so they brought up Justin Masterson, a Double A pitcher for Portland, to start the series finale against the LA Angels and their deep and potent lineup. And he was better than anyone could have imagined. I guess that's why he's rated the top pitching prospect of the Sox organization. He went six smooth innings, giving up a solo run and only two hits. He walked four, though, and that's what contributed to his pitch count of 95. But that doesn't matter - he has a bright future with the big club staring at him right in the face. The Sox sent him back to Portland after the start and before they jetted to Tampa Bay, but he expected it. He'll be back. He'll be back. Theo said this...
"He did a tremendous job with his composure throwing strikes," general manager Theo Epstein said. "We're proud of him. We couldn't have asked for more from him today."
Boston had a 3-1 lead in the game going into the seventh inning and were only five or six outs away from Paps' time. But the bullpen COULD NOT do the job. Lopez came in to start the sixth and couldn't record an out. Then it was the still recovering Little Manny Delcarmen, who also could not record an out. Each surrendered two runs, and what Justin had done had become undone. Little Manny had this to say...
"I overheard Javier Lopez talking about how Masterson came in out of the blue and threw six great innings," said Manny Delcarmen. "We wanted to finish it off for him, but it didn't happen today. Warming up I was a tad dizzy," Delcarmen said. "I was hoping to get through."
Manny, next time tell Tito you don't feel well enough to pitch. He KNOWS what you've been through. Okie only made matters worse, as did Aardsma and Tavarez. Only Papi's two run tater in the ninth made the score respectable. This was a game that the 2007 team would not have lost. Now, I'm turning the page. Game over, but not forgotten. The team is in Tampa for a three game set against the Rays. Maybe the Florida sunshine will help the guys rid themselves of this insidious bug that has raced through the clubhouse in rapid-fire fashion. Here are your pitching matchups for the series...
Tim Wakefield (2-0, 3.96 ERA) vs. Matt Garza (0-0, 9.00) tonight
Clay Buchholz (1-1, 4.79) vs. Edwin Jackson (2-2, 4.63) Saturday
Josh Beckett (2-1, 5.12) vs. James Shields (2-1, 3.30) Sunday
So we miss Scott Kazmir. Nice! We will take two of three. And there you have it. A successful homestand, except for the last two games, but still a good one all things and diseases considered. Now comes a quick three game trip to Florida and then it's back to Fenway for more mirth and fun. Hopefully after Monday's day off, the team will be completely healthy. Daisuke isn't even making the trip! I hope every one of you has a great weekend, and I'll be here tomorrow, same Bat Time, same Bat Web Addy. Click on the title for the Globe's Sox page, and as always, BE WELL.

Last month, the rarely publicised CBC appropriation cut from the executive supervision in conclusion occurred. A discerning numbers recap: $115 million will be strictly cut over the subsequent 3 years, with CBC boss Hubert Lacroix observant the detriment essentially amounts to $225 million when receiving separation packages as good as stability bill skeleton in to account. In conditions of roles, 650 redundancies have been approaching from right away until 2015.
Re Canadian primetime television, the solitary vital network where you will be means to watch homegrown programs is the CBC; otherwise, primetime is tranquil by American shows. And when articulate about viewership, CBC shows really loiter during the back of those of in isolation network rivals CTV as good as Global , both of who typically promote shows alien from the States. According to BBM Canada, the not-for-profit attention classification which collects TV as good as air wave assembly information, the thirty most renouned Television programs week after week have been probably unconditionally done of American shows upon CTV as good as Worldwide with Hockey Night in Canada as good as the Canadian chronicle of Dragon's Den being the usually CBC shows to place continually in the rankings.
Where the CBC has run in to Problems is which in perplexing to contest with personal networks similar to CTV as good as Global. In you do so , the onslaught in in between open use as good as engaging "eyeballs", in in between informative, thought-provoking calm as good as renown, becomes clear. Is it partial of the charge to outlay taxpayers ' money upon shopping American diversion shows similar to Wheel of Fortune as good as Trouble? President Lacroix claims these highly-rated shows lead some-more viewers to watch the Canadian programming which follows. What about displaying William as good as Kate: A Love Story upon the documentary module Obsessed Eye? Does which simulate the normal as good as informal culture?
The organisation should realign itself as the open use broadcaster as good as concentration upon revelation inhabitant as good as informal stories. The ratings for these stories will mostly not have it in to the Once per week Top 30, though numbers usually discuss it partial of the tale. Because most folks have been examination doesn't indicate they're invested or enlightened. we do hold which by catering to Canadians who caring about peculiarity internal content, Canadians who, similar to myself, listen to English as good as French air wave as good as watch shows which underline Canadian characters as good as settings, the CBC can be tolerable as good as good regarded as the open use broadcaster which informs us of applicable stream affairs as good as produces well-made party which enriches the culture. That would be improved than swelling itself as well skinny attempting to be blurb as good as public-serving simultaneously, whilst next during neither.
Looking during the inhabitant picture, it competence be the contrition if these CBC bill cuts start use in country Canada. In locale centres similar to Toronto, Montreal, as good as Vancouver, these cuts have reduction of an stroke given there have been so most alternative channels as good as stations to balance in to thru heavenly body or wire . In not as big communities but , the CBC is often the single of the couple of , if not the sole, source of live TV as good as air wave for Canadians. It is in this regional, as good as countrywide, duty the CBC should slight the target. My instruct is which the appropriation cuts will force the CBC to redefine the goal as good as offer Canadians who care.

Earlier this year, we announced our global commitments for a happy, healthier world and our Coming Together campaign to bring people together and help find workable solutions to obesity. We know that when people come together, real progress happens. We believe there is a real opportunity to help people learn more about the safety of and benefits that low- and no-calorie sweeteners provide for weight management. When used consistently in place of caloric options, low- and no-calorie sweeteners offer a great way for people to manage their calories while still enjoying the sweet taste they love.
While the safety and benefits of ingredients, like aspartame, are supported by more than 200 studies spanning 40 years, we understand people still have questions about aspartame and other low- and no-calorie sweeteners. We made it a priority to address these questions and provide the information and education to reinforce that these are ingredients people can feel good about.
As an
extension of our global commitments, we are beginning a conversation about the
role low- and no-calorie sweeteners can play to help people manage their calorie
intake and weight. This week we will run a new print ad called "Quality and Ingredients." The
ad makes clear the safety and benefits of low- and no-calorie sweeteners used
in our portfolio and provides information on our ingredients. View the ad here.

New ins and old favourites
Once i find an item of clothing i really like i'll wear it for years and when i get something new i'll probably wear it repeatedly over the course of the next month. I wanted to share my latest go to outfit which combines my urge to wear the same thing over and over again, a mixture of new ins and old favourites.
I bought this Topshop coat back in 2014 and its seen me through a hell of a lot. When i first bought this it was so far out of my comfort zone that i carried it through my college hallways instead of wearing it; that was until a girl from one of my classes called behind me saying she liked my coat. It sounds stupid that someone else's opinion encouraged me to wear it but it triggered a little voice in my head kind of like an "i told you so", if this were an essay this coat would've been a turning point in the history of how i dress.
Theres a reason converse are even worn at fashion week and i can't quite put my finger on why, other than the fact you can actually move in them and they seem to go with everything. I got my leather converse for Christmas in 2014 and even though they're pretty battered they are still my go to shoes; i just need to remember to not wear them in the rain anymore .. puddles in your converse is definitely not a look.
I showed my dad my new jeans and in classic dad style he told me to take them back because they were faulty.. he was referencing to the ripped knee. These Topshop jeans are a new addition that i can't stop wearing, i was looking for straight leg relaxed jeans that didn't look like they could belong to a 40 year old and these are perfect. My old skinnies feel like a leg prison compared to these and they're mid rise, so i can eat an all day brunch like i did this particular day and not wish i was wearing leggings.
The green flannel is also a 'new in' which i got this past Christmas (i seem to have gotten a lot of these clothes at various christmases???). I used to be huge on flannels but they have taken a back seat in my wardrobe choices in the past year or so because i couldn't find a way to style them how i liked. I feel like i've finally found a good balance between relaxed yet structured with this outfit and the flannel fits in perfectly. I might add a few new flannel shirts to my collection, that is after i over wear this one 300 times.
I wouldn't call my accessories "new" but they're not old either, my avocado choker was bought for me by my best friend who knows about my love of avocado all too well and my hat was bought from Primark at the start of the autumn to keep my head warm and hide bad hair days.

In this build, you won't see any of the big noticeable changes or new features. The Windows team has focused on product improvements based on Windows 10 November update. Gabe Aul in his blog post adds :
We're also working on some structural improvements to OneCore, which is the shared core of Windows across devices. Essentially, OneCore is the heart of Windows, and these improvements to OneCore make building Windows across PC, tablet, phone, IoT, Hololens and Xbox more efficient. We're doing some code refactoring and other engineering work to make sure OneCore is optimally structured for teams to start checking in new features and improvements in the new year.
Known issues in Build 11082:
With this build Microsoft has decided to provide the known issues in Insiders Hub instead of blog post. Here are the few known issues for this build:
- Languages packages and Features on Demand will fail to install on this build. We are investigating workarounds.
- When copying, deleting, or moving files there will be no progress dialog shown. The file action will complete without intervention. This can cause confusion when acting on large files or directories.
- With this build, application defaults for some applications will be reset. Music & Video will default to Windows Media Player. This can be reconfigured opening Cortana or Search and searching for "Choose default apps by file type" to open the correct settings page.

The Srinagar-Jammu national highway connecting Kashmir with the rest of the country remained closed for the third consecutive day on Thursday as the Valley and Ladakh region reeled under intense cold conditions with the night temperature in Pahalgam plunging to the season's lowest of minus 12.2 degrees Celsius.
"The National Highway is closed for the day,but the stranded vehicles will be allowed to move towards Srinagar later in the day. However,no fresh traffic will be allowed to ply on the highway today," a spokesman of the traffic department said.
The 294-km road,only all weather road link between Kashmir and rest of the world,was closed on Tuesday following heavy snowfall across the Valley.
After showing an upward trend for two days,the mercury across the Valley dipped several degrees last night owing to clear skies.
"The minimum temperature in Pahalgam,in south Kashmir,dipped by nearly eight degrees to settle at minus 12.2 degrees Celsius compared to minus 4.6 degrees Celsius the previous night," a MeT Department official said.
It was the coldest night of the season so far in the tourist resort.
The famous ski-resort of Gulmarg registered a low of minus 11.0 degrees Celsius,the official said.

New year, new you—right?
Nothing says "fresh start" like switching up your fragrance, and we have oh-so many from which to choose. Looking for a little guidance? Let us steer you in the direction of our five favorites, introduced to Barneys this year.
Creative mastermind Olivia Bransbourg originally conceived the Attache Moi fragrance as a gift to readers in celebration of her new and delightfully eccentric magazine, ICONO-fly. However, the fragrance—equally floral and woody—became a phenomenon in its own right, and Bransbourg has recently launched a second scent to keep up with demand. It's called Attache Moi 55, in homage to Manhattan's 55th Street.
* * *
With each unisex scent, Arquiste's founder Carlos Huber ambitiously sets out to recreate specific moments in time. Flor y Canto, for example, harkens back to the year 1400 and "celebrates the smells of an Aztec festival." Aleksandr, on the other hand, is inspired by a "frigid winter afternoon in St. Petersburg" and features neroli, fir balsam, Russian leather and ambrette. This is just the kind of romance we look for in a fragrance.
* * *
Technically speaking, we introduced RXR Profumo at the end of 2012, but the launch of two new scents—Tantrum and Enigma—earned this collection a spot on our love-it list. Like Arquiste, the RXR collection is transportive, and we can never turn down a trip to 1960s London or majestic, modern-day Dubai.
* * *
It's hard not to fall in love with the story of Hylnds, the creative of a charming husband-and-wife duo based in Brooklyn, but one whiff of any of their meticulously researched fragrances will seal the deal. Bitter Rose, Broken Spear is particularly memorable. Our advice? Add it to your wish list now!
* * *
Anywhere Greg Lauren goes, we follow. So how could we resist the temptation of partnering with him on his first-ever fragrance? Created alongside master perfumer Ralf Schwieger, this is the kind of scent that solicits compliments from perfect strangers. And it's packaged in a one-of-a-kind bottle to boot.

Stevenson's (Flutes and Tomatoes, 2015, etc.) latest collection offers 27 emotionally intense poems about his struggle with the end of a short but passionate relationship.
This memoir, made up primarily of poems, charts the author's painful journey through the stages of grief—including a desperate search for answers, bargaining, blame, and anger. It details his relationship with the pseudonymous Mlle. X in the prologue essay, in which he tells of how he fatefully met her just after his first marriage ended. At the time, he was living in an apartment building that he owned in Buffalo, New York. Mlle. X was one of his tenants, and they quickly became lovers. A pregnancy and marriage followed, but then their intimacy deteriorated. In "Even the Dead Can Feel," he tells of how the yearning and loneliness of being in a loveless marriage began eating away at him: "It's while she's asleep that my rage / Builds to a fiery crescendo that has no place to go / But to collapse hopelessly upon itself, an inert reminder / Of its own impotence." After she leaves him, he shows how rage turned to despair in "Getting the Message," a heart-rending poem about coming to grips with the end of a relationship: "One of these days I'm going to lose it, / Put a gun to my head and end the waking dream." At the conclusion of the sequence of poems, the author relates how he found a kind of balance and rhythm in his life in "the light you left behind." Overall, this collection lays bare the complexity of the tortured emotions of love lost. Along the way, it offers up revelations of how even the most painful endings can lead to new beginnings.
A brutally honest free-verse collection.

Something about spring time gives me a renewed energy. I'm not sure if it's the fresh rain kissed air, sunshine, or the abundance of blossoms. I've gotten to work and the creativity is flowing, I m excited to get some fun spring crafts done. This past weekend I was on a roll and was able to finish up several projects that were half done. After I had finished all of these projects I wasn't ready to quit. I found a scrap of wood and cut out an egg shape and then this DIY simple Striped Gold Glitter Wooden Easter Egg came to life.
To create your own DIY simple Striped Gold Glitter Wooden Easter Egg you will need:
Egg template (7 inches wide by 9 inches tall)
1/2 thick piece of wood
Paint (your choice of color)
painters tape
jig saw
First you'll want to create an egg shaped template and trace the egg shape on to a piece of 1/2 inch thick wood.
Next you will want to use either a jig saw or a scroll saw to cut out the egg shape.
At this point you can have fun by picking out the color of paint you want to use! (I painted my wooden egg a mint green). Once you have painted it you will want to allow it to completely dry.
Furthermore you'll want to use a 1 & 3/4″ thick painters tape and tape off 3 sections of the egg to create stripes.
As you can see in the next picture I painted the sections that were showing with a gold paint and then sprinkled gold glitter over the wet paint. (You can never have too much glitter)!
Finally you'll want to peel off the painters tape while still wet. This helps with bleed through not staying on the board (Tip: you can use a baby wipe to wipe away any wet bleed through) Allow the egg to completely dry before displaying.
This is such a quick and simple decoration that will add a little glam to any home Easter Decorations.
Let us know if you make one and where will you be displaying your DIY Simple Striped Gold Glitter Wooden Easter Egg?

So you teach science and, "Yay!," -fist bump- you even teach high school science (Biology, Chemistry, IPC, Physics, etc.). Congratulations, because you have one of the best jobs EVER! And you feel like this every single day you walk in the classroom, right? I know, I've been there, and some days you just want to run screaming out of your classroom. Students lose their notes, didn't bring an assignment, whine about taking notes, and, quite frankly, just don't want to be in class. That's anyclass, not just your class. How do you engage them? How do you get that ownership of knowledge? How do you promote accountability? Organization? Well ……………. have you tried using Notebook Foldables®?
It might be a life-changing experience, not only for you, but also for your students. Just the visual, kinesthetic part is enough to get them to at least pay attention – and you will take anything, even a couple of minutes, right? – but then, THEN when they realize you are providing them with a tool to make learning purposeful and meaningful, all of a sudden you are "The Bomb Dot Com" and they love coming to your class. Now, don't get me wrong, they don't really care if it is purposeful and meaningful, but they do, for the most part, understand that at some point in time they will need to be able to remember or be able to retrieve the knowledge you are bestowing upon them.
In my 18 years in the secondary classroom, I tried a multitude of methods to get a little student buy-in. A lot of student buy-in was just too much to hope for. Enter Notebook Foldables.A composition book (cheap is good), scissors (as long as they cut paper), glue (liquid, not stick), paper (whatever is free or the budget allows). Supplies are easy. Teaching your students the fast food five folds – hamburger, hotdog, taco, burrito, and shutter (think the drive-thru window). Know your objectives. Do the Notebook Foldable before you try to teach your students how to do it. As Dinah says, "close enough is good enough", so don't worry about perfectly creased paper or perfectly cut tabs. Let your class come up with a gluing mantra – that's what you say when they start to actually use the glue, like "dot, dot, not a lot", so okay that one may be better for elementary students. If your students are at the level where they appreciate a little sarcasm, try "oozers are losers" or "glob, glob, don't be a slob". No, they will not want to say it aloud, but you can watch their lips move and they will say it to themselves, at least until they realize that a dot or fine line of glue is enough to stick a piece of paper to another piece of paper.
You have the basics out of the way. Now comes the best part – determining how to format the Notebook Foldable so you have the main idea on the "front and center" and each time a tab is created the knowledge goes to a deeper, more detailed level. You don't have to be one of those creative types to get this, just think logically. You want your students to think logically, albeit that is almost impossible for high school students. It's easy to use the Notebook Foldables book and the cd to create one to print out. If you don't have time to format your own, don't worry! That's when you can use Notebooking Central® black line masters. (woohoo!) All you have to do is determine the level of knowledge your students need and guide them in putting information under (or on the back, side, etc.) of the tab. Once you have the notebook foldable, it is just a matter of creating an anchor tab to anchor it to the notebook paper because you will use the composition book (or spiral, or notebook) paper as part of the foldable.
…like one student said,
"it's like my filing cabinet".
You start with one or two folds, then graduate to more. The composition book (spiral, 3-ring, or whatever you are using as your ISN) really becomes a personalized textbook, or, like one student said "it's like my filing cabinet". Wait – WHAT? A filing cabinet, that's right, because the student's notes are organized and everything stays together in one place. Organization, that's something else fairly foreign to a high school student.
Notebook Foldables® via Notebooking Central® titles. Just try it, you'll like it. More importantly, so will your students.

A PreEmergent lawn care product eliminates weeds at the earliest stage of growth — before you even see them. Several key factors are important to consider if you want to use this type of weed killer effectively.
Have you hesitated to use a preemergent herbicide because you didn't understand what it does or how to apply it? Did you try one and have poor results?
This article will explain the concept of weed prevention: the benefits, the drawbacks, plus when and how to apply it. Learn to avoid the mistakes that lead to disappointment and more work!
A separate concluding article will assist you in selecting the best type of PreEmergent for any situation, including lawns, landscaped garden areas, vegetable gardens and non-vegetation areas.

Have you spent countless hours pulling weeds by hand, or repetitively spraying weed killers? We all hope for a better way to improve the appearance of our lawns. Welcome the PreEmergents: a group of garden products that offer a respite from that aggravating problem. No, they do not offer automatic salvation as in 'use once and forget about it'. But they are one of the most important weapons in a gardener's arsenal.
Typical applications occur in early spring before warm season weeds appear and in autumn for cool season weeds. These preventative herbicides actually can be helpful throughout the majority of the growing season. Various weeds germinate at different times, so repeated applications of the correct chemical can eliminate the majority of the weeds in any lawn or yard. Note these benefits:
Many folks just want to get the product down and get on with life. Do it when you think about it, is that o.k.? As long as you are early enough, as mentioned before, there is no harm in getting the pre emergent down way ahead of time. It just might wear out too soon to get the later batch of weeds if you start too early.
So if you realize that your yard conditions will likely require a second application anyways, just get it down and breathe easier. But what if you are late? Investigate the concerns about timing at this article When To Apply Crabgrass Preventer. Much of the information will apply to broadleaf weeds as well as the crabgrass concern that is emphasized. (It's never over, if you don't give up!)
The gardener who wants to know specifically when to apply a preemergent is going to have to do a bit of research. The temperature of the soil as it starts to warm up in the spring is going to be the primary indicator of the pending arrival of various weed species. You can be prepared for that by checking with the resources available in most states through your State University Extension program or through your County Farm Agent. (Yes, even if you live in the city, like San Diego for example, there is a wealth of helpful information from the farmer's friend!) They will typically have charts or articles written up that offer the expected emergence date for common weeds in your area.
You can be fairly accurate by using an inexpensive soil thermometer. Testing should be done in moist but not soggy soil. First, poke a hole with a stiff rod to avoid damage to the probe, but not too big, as the soil must be tight against the probe. Notice the differences in various locations that are sunnier, dryer, or more exposed.
A fall or winter application is necessary in some geographical areas. Locations that deal with annual bluegrass or annual ryegrass will want to get their lawn covered prior to the initial seasonal autumn/winter rains. In some southern climates, a winter application is necessary to protect against crabgrass as early as January or February. A summer application can be helpful, even necessary, in those areas where certain weeds wait for the hot weather. Many spots need to be ready for a second onslaught by some early weeds that can reseed and grow the same season, like the ever-present dandelion.
Granular products are the most common type found in everyone's local garden department. (In my opinion, it is unfortunate that they are usually combined with fertilizer. It is better to specialize when working on an issue of this nature.) These can be spread by hand just as you would throw out chicken feed. (Well, maybe you've seen them do it in a movie!)
A hand-held spreader works great to cover a medium sized area, as it throws out the product quite evenly as you turn the crank. For extremely large lawns, a push-type lawn spreader is best, the same type that many people have for applying fertilizer. Most products will specify on the label or have on-line instructions for what the setting should be on different units. Be aware that the cranking speed and walking speed will greatly affect the rate of dispersal and the distance the granules are thrown by a "broadcast" type spreader.
Only a drop-type spreader confines the preemergent to a well-defined area. Broadcast type spreaders can fling out an herbicide in a dangerous manner, getting into areas where you don't want or don't need the protection.
Safety Tip: If you find yourself dealing with this as a likely issue, and need to keep it out of a flower bed where you want to plant seeds or annuals, have someone walk along with you and hold a large sheet of cardboard or heavy tarp that can deflect the granules so they spread into the desired area only.
If you have a relatively small area that needs to be treated, especially just a few bare spots here and there, some manufacturers of lawn and garden products offer a shaker can or shaker bag that is quite handy. You may be able to create one from a coffee can, by drilling properly sized holes in the top.
APPLICATION: In all cases, the intent is NOT to cover the ground completely. You just want an even, consistent dispersal. In a square inch, you might only need a couple of granules, since typical application rates allow 1 pound to cover from 200 − 500 square feet. (Before you start: Read the Label Again! Calculate how large is your area! Plan your approach!)
Some brands offer a Liquid Preemergent in either a ready-to-use-spray bottle that attaches to your hose, or a concentrate to mix in your own tank sprayer. These are very convenient — a very quick way to apply the product to a large area. They are often more economical as well.
Be especially cautious, however, if the lawn area that you spray abuts any location where you will be planting soon. And even though it is liquid, it will not work if it remains on the grass blades.
Whichever method you select, it is imperative that you water the product adequately to get it into the top soil layer. This does not have to be done immediately, but within the time indicated on the label, usually 1-3 days. Waiting too long exposes the chemical to light and/or heat that will diminish its potency.
You can irrigate the lawn area, or allow rain to water it in, as long as it will be a sufficient amount. In most cases, you need not worry about using too much water. The exception is with the organic corn gluten pre-emergent which can get over-diluted, unlike the chemical products.
A lot to consider, right? Already this is a long article. Let's evaluate this important concern on another page. I'll get that posted as quickly as possible.

We also believe that resilience is trait that innovators need in the world today and that leaders must pick themselves up when things don't go as planned. In addition, we strongly believe that if students recognize purpose, passion and compassion as central then students will be more intentional and service oriented in their educational outlook. We believe that students must see themselves as innovators, change-makers and leaders if they are to be innovative leaders. Lastly, students must recognize learning as much more than schooling and leadership as much more than a title. Seeing learning and leadership as life-long processes will enable them to see that it is a journey that we are all on and aim to continuously grow in.
