These 60 kids that I spent 180 days with will forever hold my heart.
They are the kids that forgive me when I'm grumpy, that hold my hand when I'm sad, the kids who laugh at my dance moves,
but MOST IMPORTANTLY they are the kids that made me a TEACHER.
I finished my first year of teaching and I still have all my hair (jury's out on my sanity though!)
Wednesday was my last day of school, and I can't believe these cute firsties of mine are now on their way to second grade. I still remember the day they walked into my classroom in August. We were all nervous (especially me) and didn't fully know what to expect, but somehow we figured it out together and before we knew it, it was May!
It's hard to express all of my feelings into words. Teaching is one of the hardest, yet most rewarding experience I've ever had. In my classroom, we have a sentence on the wall that serves as our daily motto: "In first grade, we do our best." Each morning, we recite it together. At first I thought this would serve as a good reminder to them of my expectations for our classroom. However, as the year progressed, I found that there were days when I needed to recite that motto to remind myself to keep going - even though I was frustrated, angry, sad, or disheartened. Now that the year is done, I can honestly said that I did my best. It came from a lot of late nights working at the school, lots of lost sleep (#teacherbrain), trying again, and trying better. My poor husband thought I did nothing else but worry and focus on first grade... which is probably accurate. Of course, the list is never done, and it feels like I could always do more for my kids. But when I step back and really reflect on my year as a teacher, I felt like every failure, success, and learning moment was exactly what I needed.
I know there is a lot of conversation in the world today about teachers/education/public schools and a lot of teachers are walking out of a profession that once held their heart. While I can understand their feelings of frustration, this year taught me that teaching is so much more about myself. It's about the kids - the ones who come to school because the classroom is safer than their home. It's about the kids who won't leave until they give me a hug, because they probably aren't getting one at home. It's about the kids who work their butts off to beat their DIBELS scores because they know that in my classroom, we do our best. It's about the day to day moments where I have the chance to help seven year olds learn to forgive, take turns, celebrate successes, and try again when we fail. They've cried, I've cried. I've laughed, and they've laughed at me when I pull out my goofy dance moves. They've learned, but I've learned the most.
Being a teacher has my heart, and nothing is more satisfactory
than realizing you are right where you should be.
Bring on Year 2!
Love P

Bad L5- S1 Fusion Screws put in Wrong Place and Covered Up BY Doctors
I had a L5-S1 fusion done in May of 2008 and never was right again. I worked with the doctor untill Nov. of 2010 trying all types of injections, had a spinal cord stimulator put in in Aug of 2009 that worked a little, worked with a pain management doctor, took a lot of pictures, CT Meylograms, MRI'S, Cat Scans, EMG's, Discogram, etc and the doctor said he never seen nothing wrong. I always complained of pain in my back and legs and told the doctor something is not right. The last time I seen Dr #1 was in Nov of 2010 after I had him work me up for another surgery to see if he could find something. His answer was he wanted to do explority surgery on L-5 and L-4 to see if he could find anything. I said no and I walked out and said I was Going to another doctor for another opionion. He said when I find out something let him know. I seen Dr #2 and she looked at my pictures and said I see whats wrong your spinal cord is being squeesed at L4 or L5 and I had her do surgery on me in 01-2011 and it worked some but I was still not right. She worked me up for another surgery and I took what she said to DR #3in 10-2011 for another opinion and come to find out that the SCREWS WERE PUT IN L-5 VERTERBRATE WRONG AND WENT THROUGH PUSHING ON L-4 FACET JOINT. This was where some of my pain was coming from the whole time. I also have eptopic bone growth at L-5 to that causes pain. When I seen Dr.#3 it was the first time anyone ever told me anything about the screws or eptopic bone growth and he don't understand why no one has not seen or said anything about this before, none of my test from the first 2 doctors say anything about the screws or bone.{ the paper reports you get} The first two doctors covered up for each other and caused me to be in cronic pain for years. I am looking to find out what type of legal action or who to report these doctors to. This is a close description of what happened but I take a lot of pain meds and other stuff from my doctor I might not have got every detail right but it is close to what hsa happened. Dr#3 showed me on Dr#2 cat scan pictures the screws and Eptopic bone growth and once again he don't know how this was missed or did they not want to tell me. Sorry for rambling on but the meds have kicked in and I just needed to vent some frustration.
1 Response
That's why they call it practice medicine. I walked around with L5 S1 disc in 3 pieces for 2 1/2 yrs with the same Doc telling me I didn't need surgery and lost 30lbs of muscle. Finally went to a real Doc and he didn't do a discogram test as he said nothing to test. Sorry for your pain. Wonder why we are so skeptical of surgery and Docs

13 Replies to "5 Awesome Tools For Instagram"
Which do you find the best tool to use, Andy? I am a very poor user of Instagram because I rarely look through other people's 'grams'. I post because I like to get certain images online via Instagram but I don't promote myself or share and comment very much. And the bottom line reason for that is that I don't see the attraction or the benefit. Pinterest is not the same beast, but with Rich Pins I have something that is giving value back to my own site. What's your take on that?
I haven't got into Instagram at all but being Generation Jones I'm going to have to try the tools you suggest, especially InstaQuote as I'm a real fan of Picture Quotes.
Pinterest is a different matter. I'm very much into that but don't visit often because I can spend far too much time in there.
Great post. Thank you for sharing these valuable apps. I have downloaded Instagram on my Gallaxy S4 phone but I have not yet attempted to use it. I agree with Sue Bride about Pinterest. I have created many boards and as David Bennett said many of the pins are providing value back to my own sites. I look forward to watching your training – in a few days (the next 4 days are tied up in a continuing education course)/
Dr. Erica
I have an account on Instagram and I posted a couple of pics, but I don't like that it's phone-based only. I suppose I didn't really give it enough of a chance and I might try again (although I focus on other social networks). These tools sound great for when I try again :).
Hi Andy,
Thank you so much for these tips on how to help on Instagram. I'm still learning how to follow and/or find people. I have Instagram on my laptop, my tablet and my iPhone but still not sure of what I'm doing.
I will keep at it though and check these apps out.
Hi Andy,
I'm just starting to use Instagram. I realized it's importance from reading some marketing books and articles. I plan on conquering this platform one day.
Right now, I am collecting some friends, posting about once a day and trying to figure out the above programs to use.
Thanks so much for your help with this…
I have to admit, I only use Intagram casually, and not for marketing. I haven't honestly thought about using it to market because a lot of my traffic comes from Google search, Twitter, Facebook, and WordPress.org. However, I'll have to check out these tools and keep them in mind when I decide to try marketing on Instagram.
You presented several great tools here and I have or have used all of them before. Instagress is an amazing program if you are looking to get your name out there and build a specific following. I believe that I did the 3 day free version of it and got an additional 300 followers! I am sure if someone used the tools you mentioned and attended the free training, then they could do very well on Instagram with their business. Thank your for sharing!
Thank you so much Andy!
I'll definitely learning my around social media a little better these days, because of what I'm constantly learning from you!
While all these resources seem extremely practical, for some strange reason it's # 5, Iconosquare and it's many features that has really piqued my interest the most!
Thanks, I'll definitely have to check it out further!
You give us some good tools to use for Instagram, Andy. But even more, you point to the marketing capabilities of Instagram.
Like all other social media platforms, Instagram can help you build your online business if you use it wisely and effectively. These tools can certainly help in that endeavor.
Thanks for the useful information, Andy.
So much information here Andy. This article is great. I must admit that I have not entered the Instagram world either, but you are surely taking a lot of the mystery out of it with all this great information!
I have heard that instagram is a good source of leads for whatever business you have if you know how to work it. I just started on it and still trying to find my way. Is there a way of using the PC not just the phone??
Thanks for the great teaching Andy.
Hi Andy,
Thanks for these awesome tools to help utilize our Instagram!!

Hi everybody,
Thanks to those who started this local community. I look forward to getting to know everyone and learning as a community.
I have worked on a team that used Tableau and have some literacy with its use-cases and possibilities. My experience comes from working on a cross-disciplinary team of PhD students working on large-scale public issues. As the social scientist, my job was to work with demographic, linguistic, and behavioral data. The technical members of our team harvested and data-visualized it using all sorts of software, including Tableau.
I now work in the local tech community and am very interested in developing comprehensive Tableau skills. I'm primarily interested in working with civic data to show how major issues (e.g. water resource management, national heath care policies, etc.) affect local communities.
I would love to find a couple Tableau users in Winnipeg and build a skill development group. It's been my experience that everyone learns technical skills faster face-to-face.
I'd even be interested in taking a week of vacation time off of work to boost my skills, if anyone else is interested/available.
Hi Alison,
This is a very late reply as I just ran in to your question.
Are you still looking for Tableau users to collaborate with? Send me a message.
I was looking in re-igniting the user group so I reached out to Al Williams, the community leader but I still yet have to receive a response.
Become a Viz Whiz on the Forums!
Support the Community and master Tableau.

Stress can definitely affect your mental health. For instance, you might find you can't stop worrying or that you're less interested in seeing friends. Maybe you struggle with stress management or find that stress makes it harder to concentrate. But you might be less conscious of the ways in which stress affects your physical health.
Sometimes, stress is actually more than just stress. Many of the physical symptoms of anxiety overlap with those of stress. Here's how to tell whether you may have an anxiety disorder or whether it's just stress. But even if your stress is temporary and doesn't interfere too much with your day-to-day life, it can still take its toll on your body.
When you get stressed, your body issues a number of hormonal responses. The most commonly talked about stress hormone is cortisol. Cortisol is one of the hormones involved in your "fight or flight" response and is actually pretty necessary for survival. But chronic overexposure to cortisol can result in some adverse health effects — many of which are on this list. Stress also affects other hormonal systems: your growth hormones, hormones that direct your reproductive system, thyroid hormones and even insulin, for example. According to research, chronic stress may even become a precipitating factor to some endocrine disorders.
An increased heart rate is a well-known physiological response to stress. When you get stressed out, one of the hormones released is adrenaline. Adrenaline causes a temporary spike in heart rate, which is your body's way of increasing the circulation of blood through your body in case you need it to react to a dangerous situation. Many stressful situations we encounter aren't physically dangerous — but your body reacts as if they are.
Stress triggers many physiological reactions, one of which is muscle tension. This tension isn't exclusive to any one muscle group — it affects the muscles in your chest and surrounding your lungs, as well. It may feel hard to breathe or you may experience a sudden shortness of breath. A calming breathing exercise may help.
This probably isn't surprising to hear, but stress can put you in a really bad mood. People who experience stress are likely to experience irritability as a symptom. Instead of snapping at your coworkers or being rude some other way, it might be worth trying some stress management techniques to see if you can help mediate the issue.
Stress and anxiety are not the same thing. But stress can worsen any existing anxiety condition you have. Anxiety is a psychological disorder that should be diagnosed by a mental health professional. Stress is a feeling that can result in similar symptoms to mild anxiety. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, tempering stress levels can be an effective tool for managing symptoms of anxiety.
Research has shown links between stress and depression. Scientists posit that this may be due to stress hormones or certain neurological responses in the brain. No matter the mechanism, limiting your stress could help to lower your risk of the mental health disorder.
Stress can trigger something called a tension headache, which can vary in severity depending on the person and the intensity of the stress. Episodic tension headaches can happen after a single stressful event, but some people experience chronic tension headaches from long-term endurance of stress. The physiological cause of the headaches can vary, but often they are triggered from tensed muscles in the head and back of the neck.
Stress can literally keep you up at night. And sleep deprivation causes a domino effect that can trigger other health consequences. According to the National Sleep Foundation, people with higher levels of stress tend to have poorer sleep quality. Stress hormones are at their highest during the evening, which is when you want to be primed for sleep. Too many stress hormones can interfere. Lack of sleep then causes an increase in stress hormones, which causes a further detriment to sleep — you see how this could quickly spiral.
It doesn't matter how many brain-boosting study snacks you eat. If you're stressed about an upcoming test, it could interfere with your ability to remember what you're studying. According to a review of research published in EXCLI Journal, stress can result in a weaker verbal memory, reduced spatial memory, trouble accessing and creating new memories and even long-term memory disorders.
The effect stress has on your blood pressure is twofold. There's a short-term spike in blood pressure as well as a long-term detrimental effect. In the short term, stress hormones cause a temporary increase in blood pressure. This spike is due to an increase in heart rate and narrowing of blood vessels. As for the long term, there's no direct cause-and-effect relationship between stress and hypertension, but studies show that repeated spikes in blood pressure in the short term can increase the likelihood of high blood pressure in the long term. Additionally, coping mechanisms that people turn to during times of stress cause an increased risk of hypertension. These include smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol and neglecting sleep.
Stroke is a leading cause of death in the United States, and there are many things you can do to prevent it. Limiting your stress could be a good place to start. Research shows a significant association between emotional stress and stroke risk.
The phrase "You almost just gave me a heart attack!" might be crass, but there's a reason it exists. There really is a relationship between your emotional stress and risk of a heart attack. According to the American Institute of Stress, coping mechanisms associated with stress are significant risk factors for heart attacks, and heart attack incidents tend to spike after particularly stressful events such as natural disasters.
One of the hormones affected by stress is insulin. Researchers hypothesize that this may explain how diabetes and stress are so closely related. In fact, according to the American Diabetes Association, the stress-induced "fight or flight" hormonal response may not work as well in patients with diabetes. A study presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions conference in 2018 showed that stress could increase the risk of Type 2 diabetes in women twofold. This may also be due in part to the sudden release of glucose that happens during a "fight or flight" response. If stressful episodes happen frequently, your body may not be able to keep up with the frequent spikes in blood sugar.
Stress can cause some serious upset in your stomach. Intense emotions triggered by stress can disrupt the usual flow of your digestive system, resulting in nausea, diarrhea, constipation, vomiting or stomachaches.
Food isn't the only trigger for acid reflux. According to the American Institute of Stress, the sudden release of hormones alongside the heart rate increase and other changes increases your susceptibility to digestive distress. Stomach acid is released and can cause heartburn. Ouch!
It's important to note that stress does not directly cause ulcers. Most often, bacteria in the stomach called H. pylori is the cause. However, the acidity changes that happen during periods of stress can increase your risk of an ulcer — or upset an existing one.
When you experience a stressful situation, your muscles tense up in order to protect themselves from potential injury. If the stress is short-term, your muscles relax again and it's no big deal. But chronic stress can cause chronic tension, and chronic tension can result in muscle pain. Rather than relying on pain medicine, it's best if you can treat the stress at the source to deal with these aches.
It's not uncommon for people under significant stress to experience a lower sex drive. Hormonal shifts associated with stress may occur, as well. In men, there is a short-term increase in testosterone when under stress. If the stress becomes chronic, testosterone levels begin to decrease. Low testosterone can be a biological cause of a lower sex drive.
According to the American Institute of Stress, chronic stress can increase the risk of infection in male reproductive organs like the prostate and testes.
For women, stress can cause disruptions in the menstrual cycle. This can show up as irregular periods, heavier or more painful periods, or missed periods. It is believed that the disruptive effect of stress on menstruation is in large part due to cortisol that's released when you get stressed out. The extra cortisol triggers a chain reaction in your hormones, impacting some hormones that play a large role in the female reproductive cycle.
Research is inconclusive as to which trigger comes first, stress or the symptoms menopause. But science is pretty clear that each exacerbates the other. In order to reduce the severity of menopause symptoms, it can be effective to try a few techniques in stress management.
In the short term, stress actually boosts your immune system. The "fight or flight" response triggers the immune system to act faster to heal any potential wounds. However, long-term effects of stress are more caustic. People who are under chronic stress have weaker immunity and are more susceptible to infections from viruses, including everything from the common cold to a serious illness.
Dealing with stress can be taxing on your energy levels. Some people even find they experience tiredness so severe it turns into fatigue that affects the body as well as the mind. According to research, there is a correlation between people who are stressed and people who feel fatigued. Stress is just one of many lifestyle factors that can drain your energy. These common habits could be why you're always tired.

Corn – A Powerful Antioxidant
Whether you use it as a grain, vegetable or snack, while you are enjoying its taste, you fill your body with energy, protect yourselves from viruses, but also contribute to the health of the heart and the blood vessels.
The grain which is often called the golden grain, is considered as food that is easily digestible and rich in nutrients. Many people believe that the corn fills the body with excess calories, which is completely wrong, since it is rich in carbohydrates and poor in fats and it is a good source of rapidly available energy.
Besides being used as flour for various pastries, the corn is often used as a vegetable in the form of addition to meals and it has positive effects on the health due to its beneficial ingredients. The meals that contain corn are delicious and healthy in almost all shapes and combinations.
The corn grain has the highest percentage of the germ that contains a large portion of fats and sugar. It is used for producing high quality oil, which is rich in vitamin A, C and E (fertility vitamin) and unsaturated fatty acids. The oil is recommended as a cure in the progressive senile atherosclerosis because it reduces the level of cholesterol and it is enough to use 20 g of the oil a day as a supplement to the regular diet.
The corn and pastry prepared with corn flour have a beneficial effect on the health when it comes to Alzheimer's disease, anemia, bronchitis, depression, diabetes, strengthening of the nervous system, problems with the metabolism, infertility, blood vessel diseases, osteoporosis, rheumatism, loss of appetite, heart diseases, problems with the bladder, urinary tract, cholesterol and kidneys.
Cure for the heart and brain
The contribution of the corn to the health of the heart and the blood vessels is not only in the high content of dietary fibers, which destroy the increased cholesterol levels, but also in the significant amounts of folic acid, vitamin B3 and magnesium that help the natural regulation of homocysteine levels in the body, thereby protecting the cardiovascular system. The corn is rich in vitamin B1, which provides almost a third of the daily needs of our body and plays an important role in the normal functioning of the brain.
A powerful antioxidant
Although the rule is that raw vegetables are healthier than cooked, the corn does not belong to that group. In fact, some American researchers found that during the thermal treatment of the corn, boiling or baking, there is releasing of molecules with antioxidant activity, which increases its protective powers.

B12 Booster
Vitamin B12 is an essential vitamin that's crucial for many functions of the body, like production of digestive enzymes, converting and synthesizing many compounds such as forming red blood cells, converting amino acids and creating creatine. A b12 booster helps to provide energy and focus, and could help in increasing metabolism.
Ingredients Include
- Concentrated Vitamin B12

James Griffin-Mars is a jaded chronman (a rare, high-profile specialists in time-travelling) with a lot of bad experience. He's seen it all: historical battles, the bloodiest wars, catastrophes, explosions, disasters, some of them several times. It's left a mark on him: he is anti-social, he drinks heavily and doesn't see any point in his life.
One day he is sent to a dangerous mission which is supposed to guarantee him a cushioned retirement. He is asked to salvage several pieces of machinery from an Antarctic research station called Nutris. While exploring Nutris he falls in love with Elise, one of scientists. After watching passively how too many people died and losing too many close relations James simply cannot let Elise go.
He transports the woman into the future – a pretty bleak future. The humankind is able to survive only because chronmen such as James plunder dead timelines for supplies and and machines. Most people live in poverty and squalor; only few working for powerful corporations such as Valta or for Chronocom, the very agency responsible for time-travels, are rich enough to afford cleaner air, better food, drinkable water and high-tech trinkets. Bringing a living person from the past with yourself constitutes the most severe crime as it breaks the First Time law. As soon as his superior finds out about Elise James becomes a fugitive and a rogue. There is nothing but a death sentence waiting for him and his beloved. Will he be able to save himself and her –again?
My impressions:
I do not like time travels in my fiction, sci-fi or otherwise. Time travelling is tricky and few authors manage to avoid all the pitfalls involved. Still I am happy to say Mr. Chu belongs to that minority of authors who cross their t's and dot their i's very carefully. It was clear from the beginning he had thought the whole issue out and the result was impressing – take that from a reader which usually picks holes in any time-travelling scenario with relish and crows about it afterwards.
While I had no serious issues concerning the world build of that particular dystopia I have to say the narration was rather difficult to swallow. Infodumps – many of them, especially in the first part – sometimes made me really annoyed. Telling not showing was the order of the day. Characters were simply overwhelmed by the narration and never allowed to develop, even if they had any potential; mind you it never was obvious for most of them. I think here mainly about James who, despite his moody behaviour and heavy drinking was also as predictable as hell. From the very beginning I suspected he had a heart of gold and of course I was right. From scene one it was pretty sure he and Elise would make a couple and of course they fell in love with each other. Don't get me wrong: I liked these characters but several times I caught myself thinking that they could have been much better. Finally the baddies were just baddies – no remorse, no second thoughts, no redeeming qualities, no subtlety. Pity.
Oh, and the cover art is good. Pity again.
Final verdict:
An interesting story which could have been told way better. Good characters which could have been awesome. Even though some tricks concerning time travel were brilliant indeed they couldn't make me forget about the flaws of this one. I am not sure I am going to read a second part (providing the author writes one of course).

Vomiting and nausea are themselves not illnesses, but complications and complaints related to a variety of conditions. Dehydration can occur as a result of vomiting or nausea, especially with regard to motion sickness or cancer therapy. Morning sickness, which occurs during pregnancy, can also lead to vomiting and nausea. Nausea is an unpleasant, queasy feeling in the throat or stomach. The word vomiting refers to the emptying of the stomach contents through the gag reflex. Retching occurs when the stomach and esophagus move without vomiting occurring.
Vomiting is a reflex that is triggered by the brain. The body begins the vomiting sequence in response to stimuli such as taste, smell, illness, emotion, injury, pain, infection, motion and dizziness. Some other changes in the body can lead to the occurrence of vomiting. For example, anorexia, bulimia, viruses, food poisoning, vertigo, motion sickness and appendicitis are all potential triggers for vomiting. Additionally, vomiting might be caused by head injuries, migraine, brain tumors, brain infections and hydrocephalus.
Some medications can also lead to vomiting and nausea. Nausea is not normally an allergy but an unwanted side effect of medication. Medications used to treat conditions such as cancer often cause vomiting and nausea. Anesthesia can also lead to the occurrence of vomiting and nausea.
Internal conditions
Some other internal conditions might be the root cause of vomiting or nausea. This includes conditions like stomach blockage, stomach bleeding and infection of the intestines. Also, if your body has a lack or excess of body chemicals and minerals, this might result in nausea. The cause of nausea and vomiting may also be down to the consumption of alcoholic beverages such as wine, liquor and beer. Pregnancy can also lead to vomiting and nausea. As regards pregnancy and nausea and vomiting, the condition (morning sickness) normally only lasts for the first few months of pregnancy, but it is possible for the condition to remain for the entirety of the pregnancy.
Prevention of nausea
In order to prevent nausea from occurring, it is advisable to avoid activities or substances that are triggers for these conditions. Drinking alcohol would be one example of this. Motion sickness that occurs while traveling can be alleviated by staring or fixating on a particular object on the horizon. Try traveling forwards when on a train. Dramamine is a medication that can help prevent the occurrence of motion sickness. Remember to follow the instructions as indicated on the label.

Three weeks ago Zimbabwe adjusted its currency, removing three zeros from the values after years of high inflation.
The central bank indicated that it might allow extensions to the deadline in exceptional circumstances.
But the authorities insisted that the roll-out of the new currency, meant to tackle hyper-inflation, would go ahead.
Supermarket owners in the capital, Harare, reported that business was unusually brisk for a Monday, as people tried to spend their old cash.
There were also reports that buses and some shops were already refusing to accept the old notes, and that long queues were forming at banks as people tried to change their old money.
Some banks stayed open more than two hours late to deal with the crowds, AFP news agency reported.
Zimbabwe has endured inflation rates of nearly 1,000%.
The new currency is intended to end the necessity of carrying bags of cash for even small purchases, and eliminate the multiple zeros that Zimbabweans have become used to seeing on price tags.
A loaf of bread, for example, will now cost 220 Zimbabwe dollars, as opposed to 220,000 old Zimbabwe dollars.
Fears have been expressed about residents of remote rural areas who may not have heard about the currency change, though the head of the central bank has reportedly said those with "genuine cases" would be treated fairly.
Critics also charge that the measure does not tackle the underlying causes of Zimbabwe's inflation.
They accuse President Robert Mugabe of ignoring economic principles and trying to bribe voters by seizing productive white-owned farms to give to poor black families.
He maintains that Zimbabwe's economic woes are the result of a Western plot intended to bring down his government.
Nearly two weeks ago, the authorities seized more than $50m worth of old banknotes at roadblocks and border posts in a crackdown on money launderers.

Council Notes - February 11th, 2014
Talisman Energy Delegation. Jesse Kirillo of Talisman Energy gave a brief update to Council on the name and logo designs for the Edson Leisure Centre following their purchase of the naming rights late last year. The name they've selected is 'Talisman Place' and two logo choices were brought forward to get Council's feedback. Above is the logo selected. It may see a few small changes before it's finalized.
Tenders. Council awarded the 2014 Front End Snow Blower Tender to Fort Garry Industries Ltd. In the amount of $118,355.00 + GST and the options in the amount of $8,604.00 +GST. Council also awarded the 2014 Loader Tender to SMS Equipment in the amount of $189,152.00 Including GST and the options in the amount of $53,800.00 + GST. It was noted this comes in slightly under budget and will allow the Town to keep the new Snow Blower at the airport with the current one being refurbished for use around Town during snow removal.
Land Sale. Council agreed to sell the closed laneways and a portion of Spruce Street in the Pine Avenue Subdivision to abutting landowners.
The next Council Meeting is scheduled for February 18th at 7:30pm in the Council Chambers of the Edson Civic Building.

The goals of the laboratory are to understand how neuronal circuits in the early visual system encode and process visual information and how spatial attention modulates these activities. There are two main projects that are currently underway in the laboratory. The first aims at understanding the mechanism by which visual attention modulates the activity of neurons and circuits in the early visual pathways. We have recently shown that attentional modulation of neurons in the primary visual cortex depends critically on the match between the feature selectivity of individual neurons and the features required for successful task completion. We continue to explore the mechanisms of attention at the granular and circuit level in order to develop a more comprehensive understanding of visual attention. The second project in the lab is designed to elucidate the functional role of the corticogeniculate feedback circuit in visual perception. We have shown that corticogeniculate neurons connecting primary visual cortex with the visual thalamus in the feedback direction are morphologically and physiologically diverse. Recently, we utilized an innovative combination of virus-mediated gene delivery and optogenetic techniques to show that corticogeniculate feedback controls the timing and precision of thalamic responses to incoming visual information. Ongoing experiments will further define how corticogeniculate feedback regulates the flow of information about distinct visual features in the environment.CredentialsEducation1997BA | Dartmouth CollegeBiology2003PhD | University of California, San DiegoBiologyPublicationsJournal Articles12/12/2018Mock VL, Luke KL, Hembrook-Short JR, Briggs F.

How much will an Actuary earnadmin
How much will an Actuary earn Actuaries are paid very well. Right out of college, starting salaries are in the range of 18 – 20 lakhs. After 10 years, most earn between 75 – 85 lakhs. Salaries are dependent on how quickly you progress through the exams. Experienced fellows have the potential to earn $1,50,000 to $2,00,000 (i.e. approx. Rs. 90 lakhs to Rs. 1.2 Cr.) and many actuaries earn even more than that.


text: Have a money problem that needs solving? Fin24 can help! This month our focus is on savings and how to better manage your budget. Send your question to firstname.lastname@example.com or find the Money Clinic box on the right of our homepage.QUESTION: I have three kids, 12, 8, and 4. I think that I am not saving enough for them because they will be falling under the "missing middle" when they go to university and they may not qualify for free education. How can I budget better?ANSWER: Clive Atterbury, financial planner at Atterbury Financial Services, says there are a lot of variables to consider such as inflation, the cost of education, which institution the children will attend, etc."But if we assume that the cost of university study at present value is R60 000 per year (tuition fees and accommodation) then you'll have to save R3 510 per month, annually adjusted for inflation until your youngest child has finished their studies. "If your cashflow does not allow for saving the full amount, just start with the maximum that your cashflow will allow. Then try to save on other expenses in your budget. Your children's studies may be more important for his/her (and your) happiness and emotional welfare in the long term than going without a few things now. READ: How do I assess the economic value of stokvels?"If it is not possible to save the R3 510, at least try to save for the childrens' first year of study. Perhaps on completing the first year successfully, they will be able to find an institution, company or even an individual who is willing to help with a study loan, or a scholarship, sponsorship or grant. "If you start off saving R1 291 per month, yearly adjusted for inflation, you will have the equivalent of R60 000 available for each child's first year of study. "Choose a well balanced unit trust or an index fund to invest in."

Our First day in Saigon we started out with a bus strip (local bus #11) to end station Dahm Sen Park. From previous visits we did not really remember what kind of park this was, but as the bus had its bus stop just outside our hotel (on our favorite street in HCMC – Nguen Tray Street) this seems as a good idea.
At the park we paid 1450.000 vnd and got a paper band around our arm. We where not really sure about what we exactly had paid for, as our Vietnamese reading skills had been resting for a while. Early in the morning, very few visitors, and almost no attraction is open, most of them seems to be under renovation, our mood is decreasing a bit…..
Then we see some young people heading toward ad "mystic" house, and we follow. A lot of warning signs on the outside, do not enter with broken arm, heart disease, high age etc. We got gloves on our hands and in we go, hearing the youngster in front of us. Everything is dark but as we can follow the voice and noise we manage to get through the first room. Then it stops. Everything is dark and we are inside an empty room with mirror – believe it or not – we can not find our way out!!!!!!! Where did the other go???? We go back through the tunnel again to see if we missed a hidden way, nothing, back into the mirror-room, starting to examine each wall, still nothing. What is this????? Then we hear voices again, and a group of teenage girls are entering. We follow them closely, and of-course they hit the way forward immediately. The purpose of the glove is that you shall "see" with you hands and by touching all mirrors you will find the way that is the door. How could we miss it??? Don't know, but after we learned the trick we managed the next two rooms on our own. Then we hear the girls again in the next room, screaming and laughing and playing with the mobiles. We want to wait for them to move on, before we enter, but they never seem to leave…..We put our heads into the room several times, but the girls are still there. Then they put their head back to our rooms, and asked us to join. Inside the room, wee need to pass by a new tunnel, and suddenly we have 5-6 girls hanging tight to our arms and clothes. That was the reason why they never moved on – they were actually scared to enter the last tunnel and was waiting for us to follow.
On the outside again, the security guard was laughing and laughing as he had followed everything on the monitors, first the two of us getting lost, and then the girls being to scared to enter the wind tunnel. Coming directly from Thailand it is quite a cultural difference being approach to this kind of close body contact with totally strangers. But now we are in Vietnam so it is just to get used to that people will get close and touch you.
Next attraction we wanted to try was a single car rolling coaster – but nope, we were to big (maximum weight 80 kg and he didn't think we matched that) so mood getting down again. Burt then we found one of the many bumper cars – up and running – and this was fun. Rather big area, and we did what we could to get high speed so we could hit all the Vietnamese youngster. In the beginning they were a bit surprised being hit by us, but after some rounds it was all of them towards the two of us. FUN – but we didn't manage more than 4-5 times (so little people so when the ride was ready we went out and into the line again and ready for next run).
When we found the weather to hot, wee cool ourselves inside the exhibition hall with ice-sculptures. The young children visiting was very impressive of us going inside without wearing the winter coat supplied. Honestly it was nice for a couple of minutes, but more than 5 minutes we could not be in there. Again, we notice this close body contact with stranger, some of the kids ask if they could take photo of us, but when accepting we didn't expect having all of them climbing on us!!!!
In one part there was a bird park. We were very impressed how natural the "plastic" stork was, looked almost as it was "alive", then they started moving and we met one of them on the walk-way. Also a nice and unusual experience
Even if most of the attraction was closed during our visit, we still had a good time, trying the roller coaster (security was just as scary as the run itself) and also had fun in the ghost house, listening to all the scream (yes – I thing they actually were scared for real) but the winner was the unlimited number of bumper car drives, highly recommended – specially after a day of traveling.

The View From The Opposition: Gillingham
MILLWALL made it back-to-back home league wins on Boxing Day, as a Lee Gregory double downed Swindon Town at The Den.
This Friday night, the Lions have the chance to make it a trio of victories as they sign off 2016 by hosting local rivals Gillingham. Gills fan and Ladies' Team Media Communications Officer Julian Hart provides The View From The Opposition.
Name: Julian Hart
Twitter: @JulianJJHart
What made you support Gillingham?: Gillingham are my local team. My dad took me to my first game in my early teens and I've been hooked ever since. I'm now in a fortunate position where I get to work with the club and get to watch every game home and away!
The Gills sit neither here nor there in the League One table going into the New Year, but have a shout of the play-offs – is that the aim?: At the start of the season, with the squad Gillingham have, all fans were expectant of a high finish this season. The start to the season was good – one defeat in the opening five league games and an EFL Cup win over Premier League side Watford – but Gills have been stuttering since.
One league win in September and October saw the club fall behind. A recent recovery has seen Gills go from looking over their shoulder to sitting smack bang in the middle of the table.
How do you view Millwall's chances of an instant return to the end-of-season lottery, too?: Millwall have a strong squad and will expect to be in a promotion contest this season. But, as the league has shown so far, there's nothing you can expect as it's such a closely contested pack. The second half of the season could see anyone move up into the play-off places, as currently nine points separate 12 teams.
Which Gillingham players are most likely to cause the Lions problems on Friday night? And which Millwall men will give you the most worries?: Bradley Dack has hit a bit of form after a niggly-injury pestered his start to the season. Jay Emmanuel-Thomas has been a thorn in many teams' sides this season as our top goal-scorer.
The Lions' forward combination of Steve Morison and Lee Gregory will cause our defence a few issues at The Den.
Finally, a score prediction?: Gills pulled a well-earned point out of the Boxing Day game away at Peterborough United after going 1-0 down; I think Millwall will be more of a stretch and can see a home win – not quite like last season's festive visit to The Den for the Gills! Millwall 2-0 Gillingham.

What is Temper?
Temper is a Web API for databases that are hosted using FileMaker Server. With the Temper API, you can develop applications that create, read, update, and delete records, perform finds, run scripts, work with containers, get meta information about a layout, and more.
What's the difference between Temper and the FileMaker Data API?
There are quite a few differences between the two APIs, but the two most important differences are:
Temper uses the FileMaker API for XML. Does that mean it's an XML-based API?
No. All Temper API requests and responses are JSON-encoded. Temper takes your JSON-encoded requests and generates XML calls for you. It then takes the XML-based responses that FileMaker returns, and transforms them into JSON. All of that happens behind the scenes.
You mentioned that Temper is an "RPC-style API." What does that mean?
It simply means that Temper uses an architectural style of communication that resembles Remote Procedure Calls. All of the requests are POSTs, and the contents of the request body specify everything that Temper needs to know in order to fulfill a request.
For example, a request to retrieve a single record, based on the record's internal RecordID, will look like this:
curl -X "POST" "http://127.0.0.1:8080" \ -H 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8' \ -d $'{ "Host": "localhost", "Protocol": "http", "Database": "starbucks-us", "Account": "xfm", "Password": "latte", "Layout": "Store Details", "Action": "GetRecord", "RecordID": 7879 }'
For additional API call examples, check out the Getting Started tutorial, or the example API call files included in the Temper download file.
Can Temper be used with local databases, or with FileMaker Cloud?
Unfortunately, no. Temper uses the FileMaker API for XML, which can only be used with databases hosted using FileMaker Server.
What versions of FileMaker Server does Temper work with?
Temper works with all versions of FileMaker Server that support the FileMaker API for XML. We've tested it with servers as old as version 12.
What technologies was Temper built with?
Temper was developed using Xojo, a popular cross-platform development environment. It runs on top of Aloe Micro, a variant of Aloe Express, which is a popular open source Xojo Web server module. It also utilizes XFM, an open source Xojo module that facilitates integration with hosted FileMaker databases.
Do I need a license for Xojo in order to use Temper?
You can download Xojo and test Temper (and any other apps that you develop) for free. When you're ready to compile and deploy Temper, you will need to purchase a Xojo license. Temper can be used in Xojo console, desktop, and Web projects.
Who developed Temper?
Temper was developed by Tim Dietrich.
What experience and skills do I need in order to use Temper?
To use Temper, you simply need to know how to make API calls using HTTP requests. Some very basic knowledge of Xojo is also needed. In particular, you'll need to know how run Xojo projects in debug mode, and when you're ready to deploy Temper, how to compile the project.
How can I get technical support?
Tim provides one-one-one coaching, consulting services, and workshops on Temper. You're also welcome to email Tim with your questions. If they can be answered quickly via email, then there is no charge for providing that support.
How much does Temper cost?
Temper is provided free of charge, and its source code is fully accessible and distributed under an MIT License. Again, you will need a Xojo license to compile and deploy Temper.

Engineering and manufacturing company Stephenson Gobin Ltd. has recently completed its relocation from High Etherley to a bigger refurbished facility in South Church Enterprise Park.
South Church Enterprise Park is an established industrial estate, already hosting a number of large manufacturing businesses and plays an important role in the local economy. It is a location where expansion of existing businesses and development of new business is expected to meet the economic growth objectives of County Durham.
This unit had been vacant for around two years and therefore the redevelopment was welcomed by Durham County Council.
Stephenson Gobin Ltd.'s development of the site comprised the refurbishment of an already existing factory building, previously operated by a company manufacturing coat hangers, and also the construction of a new office block.
It is hoped by the County Council that the new industrial facility could create a significant number of jobs in the local area.
Speaking about the development, John Bramley, Project Manager said:
"Stephenson Gobin Ltd. got to a situation where it needed larger premises as the business developed.
"The factory units in South Church Enterprise Park needed to be refurbished as they were in poor condition. The external cladding was reasonable but internally it needed a complete overhaul. We started from scratch with full electrical, mechanical and heating installation.
"When completed last year all the factory equipment was moved from Stephenson Gobin Ltd.'s site in High Etherley to the new facility. Everything now operates on one level making it much more efficient.
"The second element to the development was the construction of the office block, which began last July and was completed in March.
"Quite a large car parking facility has also been constructed at the rear, and there is an additional large service yard for delivery and collection traffic."
Christopher Padgett Architects was the practice commissioned for the development. Speaking about the new facility, Architect, John White said: "The existing industrial unit has been redeveloped in addition to the construction of a new two storey office block attached to the front. The original factory was stripped of all mechanical and electrical installations, fully cleaned and redecorated. Work was completed in March and progressed without any hiccups."
Stephenson Gobin Ltd. is a holding company that provides a first point of contact for the two main brands, Geofire and SG Transmission. All functions within both sides of the company now operate from the new facilities in South Church Enterprise Park, from sales and marketing to R&D, design and manufacture.
