In many parts of the world, owning a pen or pencil is a luxury that some families cannot afford. It is hard to imagine. Receiving an education without a writing utensil is even harder to imagine. Education can help achieve success and stability in a person's life but without the basics, it is so much harder.
Right-to-Write is a unique and simple program designed to put new and used pens and pencils to good use by collecting and then dispensing them to children in developing countries. Donated pens and pencils are delivered to schools, orphanages, and hospitals by individual volunteers, travelers, and organizations who can distribute them hand to hand, person to person, to children who need them. Through this effort Right-to-Write achieves many unique positive goals:
- facilitating better education for kids
- recycle pens and pencils that are "extras" in offices, handbags, houses, etc.
- promoting positive global alliances and friendships through direct face-to-face contact
- ensuring delivery and avoiding delivery cost, blackmarkets, and lost goods
- To help people embrace the notion that a simple deed, such as recycling or gifting a pen or pencil, a tool to use for education, has the potential to change a child's life.
- To help any child have easier access to education by having proper writing tools, such as a pen or pencil, to encourage their learning.
- To be able to deliver pens and pencils directly to a child's hands at minimum cost.
- To be able to connect school-age children in the United States of America with children in other parts of the world.
Each ONE of these pen and pencils can help ONE child with their education for about ONE year. These pens and pencils can easily be collected at parties, small get-togethers such as book clubs, school drives and through containers left at mom and pop stores.

Conservation Status
The northern leopard frog, R. pipiens, is common and is therefore not listed or proposed to be listed under the Federal Endangered Species Act (Frogs.org, 2001). R. pipiens do not appear on the IUCN (ICUN, 2000) list or the CITES (CITES, 2001) list of endangered and threatened species.
information is available as to the status of the species in the United
States. The first widespread deformities and declines were recorded in
1995 in Minnesota (MPCA, 2001). However, in Alberta, Canada, the
decline of northern leopard frogs has been well documented. The numbers
of Rana pipiens started to decline in the 1960s, but the breeding
populations remained healthy until the late 1970s. By 1990, only half
of the remaining populations in Alberta were successfully breeding (Rasmussen,

Conservation Organizations
As the northern leopard frog is not considered an endangered or threatened species in the United States, there are only a few organizations concerned with their conservation.
The Great Lake Declining Amphibian Working Group is concerned with the declines of all amphibians and includes many good links to other organizations.
A Thousand Friends of Frogs is an organization under the care of the Center for Global Environmental Education at Hamline University. It is mostly a resource for teachers, with a mission of "connecting children, parents, educators, and scientists to study and celebrate frogs and their habitats."
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency have a
very useful website about frog deformations and issues related to sightings,
causes of malformations, and education resources. The funding of the MPCA
was cut by the Minnesota Legislature in July of 2001, however they continue
to maintain this useful website.
Great Links
We highly recommend visiting the clickable map of North America at Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center! Look for reports of malformed frogs and other amphibians in your state.

Biological Information Infrastructure
Rana pipiens, also known as the northern leopard frog, is a very important frog in the ecosystem. The northern leopard frog is a key animal in the food web. Frogs are more important to human survival and our current way of life than you may think! Frogs are so important that ecologists consider them to be bioindicators. In other words, scientists consider the health of a frog population to be a reflection of the health of the entire ecosystem (Encarta, 2001).

Conservation Issues
Malformed Frogs in Minnesota
frogs have become a serious issue in recent years. Amphibian
malformations have been recorded in 44 states and in nearly 60 species
(NBII, 2001). Malformed
frogs are found throughout
the United States and Canada (see clickable map at Northern
Prairie Wildlife Research Center),
but first became a public issue in Minnesota. A high number of the malformed
frogs are northern leopard frogs, R. pipiens (MPCA, 2001).
For these reasons, we have chosen to focus on the issue of malformed frogs
in Minnesota, and R. pipiens in particular.
also believe that man-made chemicals other than pesticides may have an
adverse affect on frogs as well. However, some studies show conflicting
results. Some chemicals that are thought to be linked to malformations,
such as methoprene, have been found not to affect the malformation of
R. pipiens at levels commonly found in the environment (MPCA,

Nepal has called off the search for guides still missing after the deadliest accident on Mount Everest killed 13 colleagues, as climbers recalled the terrifying moments when the avalanche hit.
Rescuers have retrieved the bodies of 13 sherpa guides and plucked another nine to safety since an ice and snow avalanche smashed into their expedition on Friday morning on the world's highest peak.
Authorities have ruled out any hope of finding more survivors, and with bad weather hampering efforts, they have decided to end the search for the three guides thought still buried.
"We have decided to stop the search for the missing," tourism ministry official Dipendra Paudel told AFP.
"We have been unable to identify the location of bodies and at this stage it is difficult to find them in the snow."
The guides were among a large party that left Everest's base camp before dawn, carrying tents, food and ropes to prepare routes for international clients before the main climbing season starts later in April.
The avalanche hit them at an altitude of about 5800 metres in an area nicknamed the "popcorn field" due to ice boulders on the route, which leads into the treacherous Khumbu Icefall.
Dozens of guides were on the move when a block of ice broke off from a hanging glacier, splitting into smaller chunks and barrelling down into the icefall, one of the most dangerous areas en route to the summit.
A guide recalled how, moments after the avalanche struck, he and others spent hours digging through snow, pulling out bodies and rescuing injured colleagues.
"We heard a roar and when we looked up we saw a massive ball of snow coming towards us," said Namgyal Sherpa, 38, who was climbing the icefall. "My first thought was we were all going to die."
Moments after climbers heard the crashing ice, they sprang into action, calling helicopter companies for help and trudging through snow to rescue stranded colleagues.
"We could see hands, legs and bags above the snow," Sherpa said.
Joe Kluberton, Everest basecamp manager for Seattle-based Alpine Ascents International, told AFP the speedy response saved at least three lives.
"We got nine men off the mountain including three who were critically injured and needed immediate medical attention," said Kluberton, whose team lost four sherpas with another still missing.
Just 24 hours before the accident, Kluberton's team had held a day-long prayer ceremony at base camp, asking priests to bless their climbing gear, and putting up Buddhist flags, in line with local customs which consider Everest to be sacred.
"We basically ask the mountain for permission to climb; we don't cross base camp until we finish the puja (prayer)," he said.
Nima Sherpa and Mingma Nuru Sherpam, two team members killed in the accident, had recently been promoted to climbing guides after spending four years working at base camp.
"They knew the risks. We are all familiar with the dangers of Everest, but it doesn't make it any easier to lose your friends," Kluberton said, his voice cracking with emotion.
The disaster underscores the huge risks borne by local guides who ascend the icy slopes, weighed down by tents, ropes and food for their foreign clients, who pays tens of thousands of dollars to climb the mountain.
The news sent shockwaves among the mountaineers, leaving some climbers and sherpas considering whether to continue with their expeditions.
"At this point, we are in mourning, we are not ready to think of the future," Kluberton said.

White Space
January 07, 2015|Design
Sometimes the difference between a mediocre design and a stunning one is the amount of white space. Leave everything else the same and simply change the white space and you change the design.
Whitespace is the empty space in-between elements. Here's a simple example.
No white space:
White space:
Once you begin adding more elements it becomes even clearer. Notice the difference when I add only one additional element (an image).
No white space:
White space:
White space can change a cluttered and confusing interface into one that is appealing, enjoyable, and even clear and easy to use - like an admin page.
So, add space between your text, your elements, and your groups of elements. For headlines I also often add space between the characters of each letter.

FormBuilder is an enterprise service available to University of
Illinois departments for creating forms to collect and process
information. FormBuilder's high level functionality includes Event Registration, Online Credit Card Payment, and lightweight Workflow functionality with routing, approvals and email notification. Originally designed and built by ATLAS at UIUC, the
application is now jointly supported, maintained, and enhanced by
AITS and ATLAS as an enterprise system.
FormBuilder can be used to create online registration and payment
processing components for workshops, camps, conferences, and other types
of events. FormBuilder can also be used for lightweight workflow processing to automate paper business processes that require approval forms, routing, automatic notification, and back end reporting. Forms support user-defined fields, triggers, rules, decision
points based on prior input, and can be integrated with IPay for
payment processing. Events can be set up with capacity limits, wait lists, generated participant emails, and rosters.
Forms can be customized to have the same look and
feel as department web sites and can be set up and managed
independently by department staff.
Departments designate a resource
to work with AITS for FormBuilder training and coordination in using the
system for setting up forms and events.
The FormBuilder Steering Team makes decisions regarding product direction such as release content, release timing, defect and enhancement priorities, and general product policies. The team consists of active users of the FormBuilder system. Membership of the steering team changes over time. Use of the FormBuilder system does not automatically provide membership on the steering team. An existing representative of the steering team may be assigned to represent the needs of a new department.
Members of the steering team:
The DIA registration system allows camp participants to register for
DIA sports camps and clinics. The forms accept credit card payments
through an interface with iPay that automatically applies receipts to
the assigned FOAPALs in Banner. The system generates an email
confirmation once the payment is complete. DIA camp administrators can
manage registration data, update form content and layout, run reports,
and maintain session and pricing information for the camps all through
the application interface.
UIUC Division of Public Safety is using FormBuilder to automate an old paper business process that required filling out a paper form and mailing or walking the paper form around campus for all of the requisite approvals. The automated FormBuilder workflow allows initiators to enter the Event information into an authenticated online form as opposed to a hardcopy paper form. The FormBuilder form, then uses decision based routing to route the form to the appropriate department head or Division of Public Safety security group and send appropriate notification emails to alert approvers of pending work. The form is also built with aggregate form views, which allows approvers to operate on multiple transactions within a single view. FormBuilder has helped streamline the process as well as improve audit history, reporting, and reduction of misplaced or requests.
OBFS (BSS, Purchasing, and Payables) is using FormBuilder as a front end to send Requests to the Service Desk Manager (SDM) system for technical issue resolution. The form allows users to enter information such as their campus, application (or problem area), problem description, and upload screen shots to report the problem. Trigger questions in the form ensure that only the required information needed for each application type appears. The submitted form auto-generates a Request in SDM, and back-end routing uses the campus and application to send the Request directly to the appropriate queue in SDM. The user receives an email from SDM with their Request number, which allows them to track the issue and the resolution. The appropriate OBFS Service Desk representative(s) is notified of the new Request for their area and they can then handle the Request and assist the user directly through SDM.
To report a system problem, please contact the AITS Service Desk:
217-333-3102 (from Urbana-Champaign or Springfield) or
312-996-4806 (from Chicago)
For all other questions please contact the FormBuilder Support team that supports FormBuilder at email@example.com.

Yesterday my husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary. We are married for 9 years. Of course, we knew each other a long time, and we experienced a lot. I remember our first meetings. It was so strange feeling of fear, love, and passion. My husband told me that he felt in love with me after seeing me first time.We made acquaintance while party of our friend. I wore bright red dress and high-heel shoes. He walked up to me and tried to be a joker. I told to him and I passed this night dancing with him and listening his stories…
After this party he called me and begged to meet again. I thought he was not so serious, and I was afraid to be a toy in his arms. But he opened himself for me like good and so smart man. He was older than seemed. Our relationship developed so fast and I didn't know is it good. I was payed attention of boys but I didn't feel something bigger than only flirt. This man was another. He was very persistent and I gave away. He was like magnetic element and I was crushed.
I thought what would be if I missed this party or didn't meet him. We would have another family, another life. Would we be happy? I'm sure no. I feel that he is my man and we must be together. I like to care about him, iron his shirts when he is going to work, and cook for him.
So, as for cooking, I want to share with you the recipe of his favorite cake. Light and soft…this cake can be like breakfast or dessert after dinner. You had to pass for preparing 2 hours but the result is worth this efforts and time. Have a nice day and meal! To find the recipe look down.
I've found the recipe here.

Window Blinds
Window Blinds
I just posted this shot very recently, but thought it was a good choice for this challenge. This is a window in the farmhouse that my grandparents lived in for about 10 years when I was growing up. Just this past Saturday, we were given the opportunity by the young couple who lives there currently, to tour the farmhouse and barns on the property. The young couple is working on restoring the farm to it's original glory 🙂
My brothers and sister and I took my father out to lunch last Saturday for Fathers Day. We decided to take a short ride to the farm that my grandparents rented a house on when we were little kids. The young couple who lives there now gave us a complete tour of the old farm, inside the farmhouse and all the barns! This is a window inside the farmhouse, looking out into the back garden. You can see the thick casing, it has the original glass, and the whole house has the original radiator heating. The couple is restoring the farm, my father was so happy!!
We have been getting so much rain here recently, the mushrooms are growing like crazy!
