Some 101 militants were killed and 41 others wounded during a series of operations in 18 of 34 Afghan provinces within the last 24 hours, the Afghan military said Thursday.
"Afghan National Army in coordination with police and intelligence service personnel launched 17 clean up operations, 16 special operations and one night raid operation since early yesterday, killing 101 militants, injuring 41 and detaining one," the Afghan Defense Ministry said in a statement.
Among those militants killed were one Taliban local leader and seven Islamic State (IS) fighters, it added.
During the operations, the army engineering teams found and defused 63 rounds of landmines, it said, adding Afghan air force carried out 118 supportive flights beside launching 14 airstrikes against militants' hideouts over the period.
The militants have yet to make comments. Enditem

Why they are binning the Housing Survey
I really liked the article;
'Please don't recycle your survey!' - call for residents to complete and return important Housing Survey, written by Neil Goodwin on 18 January 2017.
Talking to my neighbours who have binned the survey, they all say the same:
It is deeply intrusive and also asks entirely irrelevant questions to the purported purpose of collecting the housing requirements for Marlborough and surrounds.
This questionnaire is part of the Town Council's £35,000 grand neighbourhood plan, much of which is being spent on expensive consultants.
Having spent so much money with little response, presumably that is why the council is bribing residents to fill in the questionnaire.
No doubt why the Marlborough council tax payers will be slugged with a 16.55% rise in council tax, in part for another inflated vanity project.
Perhaps your readers could read another point of view please?

well designed and considered submission... well done... 5 stars.

There is obviously a lot of thought by what a first appears a deceptively simple design. The guy is either a genius or an idiot...I think I know which.
Posted Sep 08, 2009 12:09 PM by Frank Lloyd Wrong
It's nice that you thought about materials. My design is similar, but does not account for a glossy ceiling. thanks. Will remember that. 5*

can't see how the roof will deal with heavy snowfalls.
Posted Sep 09, 2009 5:09 AM by flipflapflower
flipflapflower thanks for your comment, I suppose I'll leave that to a structural engineer to fathom out (about the snow) although a nice deep pile of snow would provide a little extra insulation. I'm starting to think I should have put in slender column at the end of that long roof.

warm rubber...mmmmm.
Posted Sep 09, 2009 1:09 PM by derek59
its a nice shape...quite striking...it certainly will stand out on a street...its just so uncomplicated to look at, but so advanced in terms of material technology and selection.
Good Job You...

The concept behind the design focuses on providing warmth, a problem which I notice the most with UK bus stops is that when you stop to sit or stand your body cools down. We can solve this problem with considered material selection; for this Bus Stop Shelter the base and upstand and constructed from a dense material such as concrete with a high thermal mass, this enables the material to absorb the suns energy during the day time, it will draw more of the suns energy if it is coloured black, then, at night time when the temperature falls the concrete will radiate the heat which absorbed earlier. This creates a passive form of heating fueled by the sun.
The Roof of the shelter should be made of a much lighter weight material such as timber so that it can be filled with insulation, the underside should be reflective to bounce light and heat back down over the seating area. The roof should be fixed with an engineer designed steel structure that embeds in the concrete form.
The long seating area provides rest spots in the shade as well as in the open, and will be furnished with timber slats. Lighting can be installed in the floor in the form of low wattage LED clusters and can be joined to the mains street lighting circuit, the upwards thrown light can be bounced back down from the reflective underside of the canopy.
The design is a simple striking shape without fuss or detail, there are sufficient flat spaces to display travel route information and advertising.
Due to the minimal pallet of materials it is possible to manufacture this bus stop in most places of the world, substituions can be made inb the concrete mix with, the help of an engineer, to include a wide variety of innovative building materials such as those suggested on my drawings, perhaps it could even be built in a strong form of adobe.

If my seventeen year old self could see me now, she'd be very surprised. This isn't how I imagined being twenty-five would be at all. I really believed that by twenty-five I would be a full-fledged adult with my life thoroughly together, probably even married, and with a baby on the way.
Somehow that hasn't happened yet, and in a few hours, I will be six years into my twenties without a fucking clue what I am doing or where I am going with my life.

So far I've only been validating my Linear Regression algorithm using actual linear data.
Something that was pointed out in Andrew Ng's class was.. though linear regression is inherently… well… linear, the dataset that you try to learn against need not be data scattered around a straight line. It all depends on what features you use.
I was curious to see what kind of functions I could have skynet approximate… so I chose two. e^x and sine(x). You can see in the picture above, I generated a largely scattered dataset around a small section of e^x. The blue line running through the center are the values generated by my hypothesis. The features used in this case were created by raising x to higher powers (in this case, up to x^15)… anotherwords, my features were: x, x^2, x^3 … x^15.
You can see that the hypothesis here is definitely NOT linear. Pretty impressive.
Here's a much tougher function to approximate… however the 16 higher order features came pretty close to htiting sin(x). I bet if I included factorial terms in the feature set, linear regression would have figured out the taylor series that makes up sin(x).
I played around with the regularization term, lambda in each of these plots, but surprisingly, it didn't affect the hypothesis that much. It might be because the test data that I generate is not terribly ambiguous, so even regularized, the cost functions don't change shape very much… they're just translated upward slightly.

Turkey Lettuce Wraps are a Great Summer Picnic Meal
I first found Turkey Lettuce Wrapsin a magazine a few years ago, I thought they were a little odd. Then I made them. My family loved them so much, they have become a summer staple in my recipe box. Savory turkey is mixed with some fabulous Asian seasonings, to become something like you've never tasted. Salty, sweet, and savory, all mixed into one simple dish, then rolled in leaves of lettuce for a fantastic, healthy meal that's quick to make on a weeknight, or to make for a picnic in the park.
What Seasons Turkey Lettuce Wraps?
My favorite Asian seasoning is black bean paste with garlic. It makes a wonderful addition to Turkey Lettuce Wraps, as garlic is a great seasoning for just about everything. The black beans are fermented and give a rich flavor almost akin to soy sauce. Oyster sauce adds a salty, fishy flavor that brightens the earthiness of the turkey. I'm not sure what's in hoisin sauce, but it's delicious and melds the flavors together to make Turkey Lettuce Wraps phenomenal. Ginger and garlic, finely grated, season the meat while it's cooking, before the sauces are added in, so you have a great base to start with. Lastly, cashews, finely chopped, add a bit of crunch that is amazing and really tops off the dish.
- 1 20 oz pkg ground turkey
- 1/2 inch knot ginger, peeled and grated
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and grated
- 2 T black bean paste with garlic
- 1 t oyster sauce
- 1 t hoisin sauce
- 1/2 C roasted and salted cashews, chopped fine
- 1 head iceberg lettuce, core removed and leaves separated
- Brown the turkey, ginger, and garlic in a sauté pan over medium heat until no pink remains.
- Add the bean paste, oyster and hoisin sauces. Stir and simmer until the sauces are reduced.
- Sprinkle the cashews over the seasoned meat. Stir to mix.
- Remove from heat and let cool.
- Spoon two tablespoons of meat mixture into the center of a lettuce leaf. Fold in the sides and roll to close.
- Serve warm.
Turkey Lettuce Wraps are a Great Light Dinner
When you are looking for a light dinner that's quick to make, Turkey Lettuce Wraps fit the bill! I love to take this dish on picnics, with the turkey mixture in a container that is wrapped in a warm heating pad, and the lettuce in a plastic zippy bag in a cooler. When you are ready to eat, simply wrap them up and you are good to go. They are great cold too! So if you are uneasy about taking the turkey warm, chill it and munch on your Turkey Lettuce Wraps!
Change up your summertime picnic and bring Turkey Lettuce Wraps!

Tom Glavine stretched out on a clubhouse sofa yesterday afternoon hoping to take a quick nap before his start that evening against the Cardinals. Had an alarm clock next to him, too.
With fierce thunderstorms in the forecast, maybe Glavine knew he was in for a late night. The answer? Yes, and no.
Glavine had to wait 54 minutes to throw his first pitch because of showers sweeping through the area. But he needed only six innings to earn career victory No. 297 and almost made history in the process because of monsoon-like rains that cut short the Mets' 2-0 win over the Cardinals at soggy Shea Stadium.
With all the hype surrounding his pursuit of No. 300, Glavine quietly came within one stellar defensive play of notching the first no-hitter in franchise history - albeit the shortened variety. In the second inning, David Wright made a brilliant effort to grab Scott Rolen's sharp grounder behind third base. But Wright's off-balance throw sailed wide of first and Rolen's infield hit was the only one Glavine allowed all night.
"I can't believe it," Glavine said, smiling. "Just goes to show you any given play . . . He didn't try very hard."
Glavine was joking, obviously, but Wright offered an apology just the same when the Mets were forced into the clubhouse by rain midway through the sixth. Wright did, however, provide the margin of victory with his two-run homer off Anthony Reyes (0-10) in the first inning.
"I got a little more on the throw than I thought," Wright said. "I just threw it off-line. He wants [the no-hitter] the real way. He doesn't want an asterisk by it. He'll take the win I'm sure."
No kidding. It was Glavine's first shutout since Sept. 29, 2005 against the Rockies and the 25th of his career. Surprisingly, it was only the second one-hitter of his career, both with the Mets. Glavine (7-5) hurled the other against the Rockies on May 23, 2004.
As for creeping up to that aforementioned milestone, Glavine playfully refused to mention the number specifically. After getting bombed by the Yankees and Tigers earlier this month for 16 runs in 8 1/3 innings, Glavine has put together a pair of victories over the A's and Cardinals, allowing a single run in 14 innings. Not a bad turnaround.
The Mets' starters as a whole have been dominant lately as well. With Glavine's gem, they improved to 3-0 with a 1.34 ERA in their last six games.
"I think a lot of it has to do with confidence," Glavine said. "Right now, we're more confident in what we're doing. I think we've kind of gotten ourselves back on track."
Last night's disruption was only temporary. Glavine retired 13 straight before the grounds crew was summoned to roll on the tarp and then checked with the umpire on his way off the field. The forecast? "Bad," Glavine said.
The way Glavine figured it, any delay more than 25 minutes and he was finished. So when it stretched to one hour and 31 minutes - six minutes longer than the actual game - Glavine was thrilled when it was called permanently. As a result, the Mets earned their seventh shutout of the season while keeping both the Phillies and Braves at 3½ games behind in the NL East.
Glavine mostly breezed through the Cardinals, but the night was not without a few anxious moments. In the fourth inning, Carlos Gomez hustled to make two catches at the warning track, and the first was a spectacular leaping grab of Juan Encarnacion's deep drive toward the leftfield corner.
"He covered a lot of ground to go get it," Glavine said.
Reyes, who remained winless in 12 starts dating to last season, was not so fortunate with Wright's 425-foot blast off the rightfield scoreboard in the first. For Wright, it was a case of history repeating itself. When Reyes faced the Mets in Game 4 of the NLCS, he allowed home runs to Wright and Carlos Beltran before he was knocked out in the fourth inning of the Mets' 12-5 win at Busch Stadium.
"I just think it was kind of bad luck for him today," Wright said.

Judges 17:1 There was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Michah, Judges 17:2 And he saide vnto his mother, The eleuen hundreth shekels of siluer that were taken from thee, for the which thou cursedst, and spakedst it, euen in mine hearing, beholde, the siluer is with me, I tooke it. Then his mother saide, Blessed be my sonne of the Lorde. Judges 17:3 And when he had restored the eleuen hundreth shekels of siluer to his mother, his mother sayd, I had dedicate the siluer to the Lord of mine hand for my sonne, to make a grauen and molten image. Now therfore I will giue it thee again. Judges 17:4 And when he had restored the money vnto his mother, his mother tooke two hundreth shekels of siluer, and gaue them to the founder, which made thereof a grauen and molten image, and it was in the house of Michah.
Judges 17:5 And this man Michah had an house of gods, & made an Ephod, and Teraphim, & cosecrated one of his sonnes, who was his Priest. Judges 17:6 In those dayes there was no King in Israel, but euery man did that which was good in his owne eyes.
Judges 17:7 There was also a yong man out of Bethlehem Iudah, of the familie of Iudah: who was a Leuite, and soiourned there. Judges 17:8 And the man departed out of the citie, euen out of Beth-lehem Iudah, to dwell where he coulde finde a place: and as he iourneyed, he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Michah Judges 17:9 And Michah saide vnto him, Whence comest thou? And the Leuite answered him, I come from Beth-lehem Iudah, and goe to dwell where I may finde a place. Judges 17:10 Then Michah said vnto him, Dwell with me, and be vnto me a father and a Priest, and I will giue thee ten shekels of siluer by yeere, and a sute of apparell, and thy meate and drinke. So the Leuite went in. Judges 17:11 And the Leuite was content to dwel with the man, and the yong man was vnto him as one of his owne sonnes. Judges 17:12 And Michah consecrated the Leuite, and the yong man was his Priest, and was in the house of Michah. Judges 17:13 Then said Michah, Nowe I know that the Lord will be good vnto me, seeing I haue a Leuite to my Priest.

A Few Things that You Must Know Regarding Loan Origination System
The loan origination system is actually made to specially support such loan application processing needs of the banks as well as financial institutions. This uses the workflow technology to control and in order to monitor the many steps in loan processing and such would also use the digital imaging technology to be able to minimize the delays and also problems in taking care of paper documents.
The loan application processing workflow is the very important feature of the LOS. The loan applications are then monitored after this is being encoded in the system and such is also tracked using different steps of the credit review and the process of approval. The LOS allows the work steps to be done in many locations and maintain such control of the flow and make sure that there are no necessary steps being missed.
You should know that the loan origination system such as the Sync1 Systems accepts the different applications that come from many channels including the mail-in or the fax-in application, internet application and also such off-site application using the notebook PC. The LOS provides flexibility through different user-definable tables as well as parameters. The frequently changed variables are actually kept in those common tables and may just be modified by the authorized users which would offer control and also security protection.
The LOS can also be used to get information of those existing customers such as the credit card, loan systems, the customer information file and many more. Once the sales staff calls up the registration module and puts the applicant's HKID number, the LOS would then get the customer information from that back-end system if applicant is an existing customer of the bank. The information update may also then be uploaded to such back-end system.
You should also be aware that there is that set of comprehensive reports that the LOS gives. This would include the drawdown reports, MIS reports, loan progress reports, such workflow statistics and many more. The LOS may also give such data export function in which the users can create reports to meet their respective unique requirements. The LOS may also work with the report writer tools to give end-user definable reporting.
So that you will get to know more about the loan origination system, then it is quite important that you read more about the reliable LOS system. There many articles that you can read on the internet that can definitely help you on this.

Keep connected with your family. This may look like a no-brainer, but it is difficult sometimes to stay in contact with your siblings and parents when you have so much going on in your school life. Make time for at least one call or Skype session weekly, and you will make your siblings and parents joyful.
When you are analyzing to get a test, it is vital that you take a break once in awhile. Analyzing can take a toll on both your physical and mental health, especially if you do not allow yourself a breather occasionally. Take a walk or watch some TV for a little while.
When you are planning your program, do everything you can to refrain from scheduling courses which can be too early each day or too late through the night. These classes can be quite challenging, as you may most likely miss these classes because of the time. Schedule classes back to back in the centre of the day.
Do analysis on your planned major. Before declaring your major, do the research to understand if your choice is achievable. Take a look at present and proposed job prospects for those who have that major. Furthermore, consider the future anticipated earnings, and also the types of fields' people together with your intended major usually go into. That which you find may surprise you.
When you start course, make an effort to present yourself to your professors. Be sure to know the place of their offices and how you can get in contact with them easily. You must establish a good relationship with them so they will be ready to help you with problems you might have.
Download foreign language learning podcasts and MP3 lessons onto your MP3 player or tablet. Listen to the lessons while driving or riding the bus to school. This will definitely definitely help prepare you for your foreign language classes. You can practice pronunciation, and work on vocabulary rather than squandering your travel time.
During school, there will be courses which you understand are overly tough from the beginning as you need to lose these promptly. These classes can put a lot of pressure on you, as you'll be better off with an option. Also, another teacher may be able to spell out the content better.
When you enter college, attempt to minimize the quantity of starches that you simply take in through your freshman year. Generally, you'll put on a lot of weight in the initial stages of school, as this can allow you to counter that. Attempt to incorporate lots of fruits and vegetables into your diet plan.
When scheduling your classes, make sure you give yourself rests. Try not to take any more than three hours of classes with no break of a minumum of one hour. This provides you a chance to consume, study, create a phone call, or look after other company. In addition, it enhances your alertness.
Make friends with your roommate. Your roommate, or roommates, can be the most suitable part of your school life or the worst. Do everything you can to nurture a good relationship with them. You don't have to be the very best of buddies, but try your very best to make sure you're friendly with each other.
Whenever choosing your major, consider the sort of occupation you want, but think about the individual that you are. If you're a person who does not wish to get up before midday, for example, you mightn't want to settle on a important where the job chances require you to work early in the morning.
When taking a test, recall that it's only a test. Many people get intimidated by tests believing that they are more than they really are. The people should be a review of what you've already learned in your class. Having self-confidence in yourself and analyzing nicely can allow you to do well on them.

As one of the top products in the promotional industry, a custom tote bag is a perfect, memorable, yet inexpensive way to promote your brand. It is commonly seen everywhere we go, such as supermarkets, clothing stores, event goodie bags… Read on to learn about different types of tote bags, and how these a manufactured.
Promotional Tote Bag: What Material to Choose?
Recyclable PP Non-woven Tote Bag
Non-woven PP or polypropylene tote bags are among the most popular bags on the market today. They are not only extremely affordable, but they are also strong and lightweight. Recyclable PP Non-woven fabric is the new miracle material; environmentally-friendly and extremely practical, convenient to carry as well as inexpensive to ship. The fabric is also comfortable and soft as it is commonly used to make surgical masks and gowns.
You can see these bags everywhere: in bookstores, universities, trade malls, groceries, and markets. Look at this excellent promotion for the wine industry: easily carry four bottles in one branded tote bag!
Non-woven polypropylene bags are a sustainable option as they are reusable, easy to clean, recyclable, and sometimes made with recycled products. Most nonwoven polypropylene bags are also made of 5-type recyclable plastic.
600D Oxford Fabric Shopping Bag
The synthetic oxford fabric has become increasingly popular due to its multi-purpose applications. Basket weaving provides durability and breathable properties. The fabric has good elasticity, abrasion, and resistance against chemical agents. Oxford fabric with polyurethane coating guarantees high waterproof characteristics of the fabric and prevents the accumulation of dirt between fibres.
The density of Oxford is determined by the thread thickness which is stated in DEN (denier), the bigger D number – the thicker thread is in Oxford, therefore the texture of this fabric is more apparent.
Canvas Tote Bag
Canvas fabric is a weighty, plain-but-strong woven 100% cotton fabric.
There are two basic types of canvas. The first type of canvas is the plain canvas and the second type is called duck canvas. Duck canvas is a more tightly woven type of canvas than plain canvas. Despite the name, it has nothing to do with birds. The term "duck" comes from the Dutch word doek, which refers to a linen canvas once used for sailors' white trousers and outerwear.
Canvas is different from other heavy cotton fabrics because it is made using a plain weave instead of a twill weave, which is how denim is made.
Sturdy, natural and easily cared for, Canvas is ideal for projects requiring a rugged material, flat pattern applications such as outdoor cushions, and, of course, bags – such as shoe bags, book bags, duffle bags, tote bags. You can also embellish them with paint or other accents for an enhanced visual appeal!
Canvas tote bags have grown in popularity over the years due to a growing trend in people wishing to be more eco-friendly.
Cotton Tote Bag
Tote bags featuring a natural cotton fabric and nylon or cotton web handles are great for craft projects. Can be customized with craft paints for a reusable gift bag. Cotton is not as heavy-weight as canvas, but heavier than polypropylene, yet, all three are very environmentally-friendly.
Thin cotton is not as durable as canvas or polypropylene, but the benefits are that it is really cheap and affordable.
Polyester bags
Polyester tote bags are easily portable shopping bags made from a piece of very thin but durable fabric. The bag is about the same size as a usual disposable plastic bag used in supermarkets, but when re-used, it becomes more eco-friendly. The manufacturing of the polyester material for one bag creates 89 grams of greenhouse gas emissions, which compares to the manufacture of just seven disposable plastic shopping bags.
Durable polyester tote bags are guaranteed to last years of usage, are more wrinkle resistant, and can be easily folded.
PVC bags
The PVC material is 100% leak safe and waterproof, and bags made with this material are extensively in demand since they represent perfect packaging. An excellent option for the cosmetics industry! The usual thickness of the material is 0.5MM and a customized silk printing logo is available. Easily-recognizable green laminated bags by Harrods, the world's most famous luxury department store, are made from PVC.
Perfect to represent any high-end fashion brand of apparel, for example, Desigual, a Spanish casual clothing brand, noted for its patchwork designs, intense prints, innovative graffiti art, and asymmetrical designs. Only a PVC shopping bag can bare such flamboyant splashes of colours!
Paper bags
Last but not least: the classic promotional paper bag, perfect for apparel stores, jewellery industry promotion, confectionery packaging. Can be manufactured from food-safe material for alimentary products industry. The logo of the company can be silk printed on the bag.
Light-duty paper bags have a single layer of paper. They are not waterproof. However, paper bags can be laminated, protecting the outside surface to some degree.
In general, if a tote bag is of great quality, it can be offered as a gift with purchase – we suggest you examine the latest addition to our product portfolio: this incredibly stylish, premium quality and impeccably brandable Conference Tote Bag.

What happens if you don't pay rent
Paying rent is the most important part of your tenancy agreement.
It is important that you pay your rent on time and in full and that you are aware of the consequences if you do not pay.
Rent is charged each fortnight and is payable in advance by the first Monday of each rent period. Any payment not made on time will be treated as rent arrears.
How to prevent rent arrears and get the help you need
If you are having problems paying your rent or are concerned about rent arrears, the Rent Income team can help you.
Don't be afraid to ask for help and don't delay.
We will deal with your concerns confidentially and sensitively and will make sure you get the help you need.
We can:
- make sure you are receiving all benefits you may be entitled to
- discuss an affordable repayment arrangement with you if you are unable to repay your rent arrears in full
- refer you to other agencies for help if you have multiple debts
It is your responsibility to ensure that your rent is paid on time and in full.
Failure to deal with rent arrears could result in legal action being taken against you and you could be at risk of losing your home.

We've all heard it – "teens/young adults with diabetes are hard."
Okay… so what are we going to do about it? Besides judge.
And hard? Each situation is different. Each person is different. You can't just categorize it for one word for everyone the entire time. There's so many more words to choose from… But "hard" that's over-generalizing and maybe even belittling experiences and feelings.
I work with teens often. I did a lot of work in college related to teens and not just diabetes, but disabilities/chronic illnesses with the interactions of school, advocacy, mental health, and other things going on in life. I am by no means an expert, but I did a lot of work in school (with social work, sociology, and other classes) and outside of school. Plus I have those PWD credentials.
Research goes in a million directions with teens and diabetes. But many seem to forget the research on teens in general – which still applies to teen with diabetes.
Common things I've noticed (and this can go beyond the teen years):
- Often, there's something else going on – when the diabetes management isn't top priority. (and no, I don't have all the research… yet. I have the blogs, experiences I hear, the DOC, etc.)
- Forgetfulness? Typical in development! (I acknowledge this is much scarier with diabetes). But it happens! We just forget.
- We make mistakes. As a teen… I learned quickly it was better to lie than to admit a mistake, forgetting, that I didn't care, etc. The truth was not my friend with diabetes management. Lies resulted in good responses – the truth rarely did – when it came to diabetes.
- Most teens get upset that the focus is almost always on blood sugars and the diabetes. Talk about things not related to diabetes also. Treat them as a person first!
- Wait… Don't teens have a thing about authority figures? I often fought hard not to do what my mom or care providers told me to do. Seeing someone else my age or someone to look up to is the only thing that ever worked with me. (Honestly? That is still so).
- Mental health is a major player when it comes to the teen years – burnout, bullying, other things going on, adverse life events, other illnesses, etc.
- Threatening complications? That's often shown to not work – and developmentally? Teens and young adults are only thinking about right now, not the future. Plus, I know some badass people not allowing complications to get in their way.
- I've heard parents talk about punishment related to diabetes care. I don't know where to begin with that but… No.
- The parent-child relationship can really get into trouble and something that shouldn't be left to the wayside. It took 12 plus years for my mom and I to get to an okay place. It's still a struggle.
Some of the best advice from my diabetes care team (highly respected in the field) regarding diabetes and an attempt to salvage the relationship with my mom and I?
It was for my mom to back off of my diabetes (this can be used in many words).
It was ruining our relationship more and more as the years went on and this was right at the beginning of the teen years. My dad was the point person with my diabetes (and I am forever grateful for the foundation he set for me with it) because my mom couldn't handle it. There wasn't balance. Poor reactions. Etc. When my dad passed away (and after a year of my mom being "stuck"), she came back with full force – yelling at me about blood sugars, about not doing things right, etc. I started lying more and more about numbers, if I checked or not, etc.
Eventually, my care team told my mom to back off – basically – not bother because it wasn't good for my diabetes or our relationship. It wasn't working.
You know what happened when we did this? Things got way better (some parts slowly). A lot of this took until after college for us to really get there.
- She and I have talked about the fact that my other diagnoses (ADHD, OCD, Anxiety, PCOS, & Endometriosis) took way too long to get diagnosed because of the focus on my diabetes.
- She stopped asking about my blood sugars all of the time. Eventually, I became more likely to share – usually only when I need to.
- We talked about other parts of diabetes management so that the focus wasn't on the numbers all of the time.
- We also talked about things that had nothing to do with diabetes. This helped to stop our relationship from continuing to deteriorate. It didn't get better until after college – when she completely took diabetes out of the conversation unless I brought it up – which I was more willing to do since it wasn't always the focus.
- She backed off of my care, and I took the reigns for the most part. I was given the opportunity to learn and manage on my own in a safe place (at home). It was all on me. And yeah- I basically never checked my blood sugar during school. Yeah, I filled in the chart on the way to endo. And yeah I barely carb count (wait… I still basically don't bother with the last two).
But guess what… I am okay!
Yes, we have diabetes but there is also so much more to life.
Teens are smart! They can often read people and sense emotions. (They're really good at eavesdropping too.) I knew when someone was treating me like I was a problem, "hard," an annoyance, not worth their time, etc. I could tell that most groups didn't do a lot with teens with diabetes. I thought for a long time if they didn't care… why should I?
Anna goes over my thoughts perfectly in my opinion.
"For parents or adults caring for teens and young adults, don't fret. They will get there, all at different times and stages, but they will. Developmentally, we all did the same thing at those ages."
"So if you're a parent or caregiver of a stubborn teen who you beg to prick a finger before they get in the car, and worry to pieces about their future, continue to facilitate positive communication and let them form their own ally with their diabetes. It may not be today, or tomorrow, or next year, but it will happen."

As of late, I pondered how the cryptocurrency market runs, and how the traders drive the market. I contrasted it with the outlook of traders in the stock/securities market and acknowledged its differences, nevertheless, the main distinction is that individuals in the traditional market trust in the development of the company while we assemble to trust in the code, the technology of the projects we invest in. Geek money much?
The Intelligent Investor is one of the must reads as Warren Buffett the billionaire and owner of Berkshire Hathaway himself suggests. The book is studied and revised by professionals who have accumulated information over the past decades. Here's my research on The Intelligent Investor, a deep dive into its theories and how the cryptocurrency market traders can learn from it.
The Correct Mindset
An investor while investing should be aware of the possibilities and should be prepared for the outcomings both financially and psychologically. The risks involved in trading assets be it stocks, bonds or cryptos leads to speculative attitudes and activities. It is extremely absurd to think that the general public can make money out of market forecasts, technical analysis or price speculations. No one really knows when the bull run comes in or when the bear trap is near, it's all about investing with the right attitude and a mindset that shows you how to make bucks.
Benjamin Graham talks about the most realistic distinction between the investor and the speculator and how there's a difference in their attitude towards the market movements. He states:
"The speculator's primary interest lies in anticipating and profiting from market fluctuations. The investor's primary interest lies in acquiring and holding suitable securities at suitable prices. Market movements are important to him in a practical sense because they alternately create low price levels at which he would be wise to buy and high price levels at which he certainly should refrain from buying and probably would be wise to sell."
In short, a speculator earns from the market fluctuations while an investor earns from the real value of the project. Here's where you take a pause to think what you are, a mere speculator or an investor?
Market Fluctuations
One of the issues the cryptocurrency market experiences is the volatility of digital assets. How quickly the coins/tokens pump and dump. This is one of the major reasons why stock market investors are sceptical while investing in cryptocurrencies, due to its ever-changing or rather fluctuating prices.
In the book, Graham indicates to 'Never buy a stock immediately after a substantial rise or sell one immediately after a substantial drop'. But what can the crypto market investors really do considering the quick highs and lows of the market?
Nothing. But follow what the mathematics defines an envelope of values; by using the Highest High or the Lowest Low of the Last 'n' Periods.
For example, if we read the 3-month chart of a crypto, let's just say Bitcoin [BTC] and the lowest low is $3200 while the highest high is $4200 and the current price is $3600. And a crash of let's just say $300 takes place in an hour, BTC drops to the trading price of $3300. What am I going to really do? Absolutely nothing! It hasn't left the support level, it didn't break the $3200 margin. It just experienced a heavy crash due to a number of reasons such as an institutional investor shifting or selling a part of its BTC for XYZ reasons. Or a whale selling its BTC to buy-back at a much lower price of $3300 than its earlier trading price of $3600.
At this point, an intelligent investor will realise the quake and not panic sell BTC because other institutional investors will look at the price drop as an opportunity to buy more BTCs which eventually will get in a large volume of buying BTCs leading to a rise in price in near future.
At this moment, one should analyse market trends to get an idea of the current capital flow in the market. And if the money flowing in is larger than the money flowing out.
Benjamin Graham metaphorically talks about Mr Market in his books. He asks the reader to imagine that he is one of the two owners of a business and the other partner is known as Mr Market. He asks his audience to assume that Mr Market frequently offers to sell his share of the company or offers to buy the reader's share instead.
One of Graham's most powerful insights is this: "The investor who permits himself to be stampeded or unduly worried by unjustified market declines in his holdings is perversely transforming his basic advantage into a basic disadvantage." So, what does Graham mean by those words "basic advantage"? He means that the intelligent individual investor has the full freedom to choose whether or not to follow Mr Market. Basically, you have the luxury of being able to think for yourself. You can either let the market decide what next has to be done with your business [your holdings] or you can decide what works the best for your business.
The practical implication of the theories to the current crypto market
The Intelligent Investor's Chapter – 14 Stock Selection for a Defensive Investor
This chapter marks the listing of 7 criteria suggested for the selection of specific common stocks such as:-
1) Adequate Size of the Enterprise
2) A Sufficiently Strong Financial Condition
3) Earnings Stability
4) Dividend Record
5) Earnings Growth
6) Moderate Price/Earnings Ratio
7) Moderate Ratio of Price to Assets
I analysed these conditions and prepared a few criterias that we crypto investors should check out before investing in crypto-related projects/ICOs.
1) Founding date and information regarding the team:
The first thing to investigate is the commencement date and the vision the company built during its establishment. Along with which the information of the founders and team members such as where they have worked earlier and what do they specialise in, is necessary. This helps us to know the project or company we are investing in isn't going to just take our money, ditch their website and go e-dead.
2) Whitepaper
A whitepaper is an instrument that encourages business to account for themselves to individuals. The whitepaper covers a spectrum of various dealings such as the vision of the project, technical knowledge, market problems, business information, prospects, core team and their track records. A full fledge whitepaper looks as good and detailed as Bitcoin [BTC] and Ethereum [ETH] Whitepapers.
3) Timeline of updates
The timeline of updates provided gives an idea of the features that are yet to be integrated with the system of the particular ICO/project. It is a Byzantine of upgrades and has to be monitored throughout the journey of business. Although a few updates can be brought in earlier than expected while some might be postponed for a while, which is normal due to the unpredictability of the market.
4) Quarterly goals
A deeper dive into the quarterly goals of the project. Its Q1, Q1, Q3 and Q4 objectives are a compulsion and to track if the company has achieved what it aimed, is the duty of an investor. The quarterly goals keep varying as time passes by and gives a hint about the company's losses and gains.
5) Token supply/sales
Right from token launch to sales, an investor should track all the vital dates of events that are related to its tokens. At all times, an idea of what the project plans for its token developments [token migration\blockchain upgrade] should be conveyed to its users through email updates/social media.
6) Listing on exchanges
Crypto projects have a pre-planned strategy to get listed on exchanges. Some mention their targeted exchange while some don't. An ideal roadmap gives a hint of when the company will look into getting listed on exchanges. To avoid price manipulation projects may not disclose the particular exchanges they are partnering but definitely do provide a list of exchanges they are aiming for listing purposes.
When utilizing a theoretical examination on a crypto resource [effectively recorded coins], individuals regularly allude to the past developments accomplished and when the following one will undoubtedly occur.
For instance, if a noteworthy advancement is going to occur, supposedly a technical update has to be released. The update is expected to highlight features that were not prevalent in the past version(s). The update is anticipated to take the system or the business in a more advanced stage. An investor at all times should keep the track of these updates as they affect the prices of the tokens/coins. Besides these points, the most important thing is the execution. How long the company takes to execute its planned strategy and gets its technology working for utilising its tokens.
"The whole structure of stock-market quotations contains a built-in contradiction. The better a company's record and prospects, the less relationship the price of its shares will have to their book value. But the greater the premium above book value, the less certain the basis of determining its intrinsic value—i.e., the more this "value" will depend on the changing moods and measurements of the stock market. Thus we reach the final paradox, that the more successful the company, the greater are likely to be the fluctuations in the price of its shares. This really means that, in a very real sense, the better the quality of common stock, the more speculative it is likely to be—at least as compared with the unspectacular middle-grade issues."-The Intelligent Investor
Similarly, the better a crypto company's records and prospects, the higher the value of the crypto will be to its initial release value or book value. The higher the value of the crypto the more open it is to the vulnerabilities of a speculative market. This brings us to the conclusion that the better the project, the more speculative its prices are expected to be.
When Mr Market gives you lemons, make lemonade!
One of the brilliant takeaways from the book is about how an investor can make use of the bear market for future earnings. Graham teaches that an investor should buy when Mr Market is yelling "sell,". It sets the time where you need to use the lemons for lemonade.
The cryptocurrency market is currently experiencing its longest winter, it seems like the bear market has taken over and bulls have gone too far to return. This is the span where Bitcoin maximalists are drowning with 'When $50K?" questions all over social media, the pessimists are propagating how the bubble has burst, traders are hibernating while intelligent investors are buying cheap from all the traders that panic sold BTC earlier this year.
For those who look at the cryptocurrency market from the point of a trader will no more see value in the investment of the digital assets but to be honest, the investors have already realised the value of the market and are heavily investing in it to gain what others have lost.
To give an analogy from the book:-
Ask yourself "Did I call a real-estate agent to check the market price of my house at 1:24 P.M.? Did I call back at 1:37 P.M.? If I had, would the price have changed? If it did, would I have rushed to sell my house? By not checking, or even knowing, the market price of my house from minute to minute, do I prevent its value from rising over time?
If you treat real estate as an asset, you need to treat cryptos as digital 'ASSETS'. They act as a store of value and must be at all times used as one.
The way we as investors look at the current crypto market is pretty pessimistic. Imagine if Bitcoin falls from its current trading price to $4050 to $3500. What are we going to do? How do we look at this?
In the current market, exchanges will receive a lot of sell orders. People are going to stop buying and start selling which in short will result in an oversold market.
But instead, imagine a scenario where BTC drops and everybody loses their minds. Like people become crazy about the Drop A.K.A. Sale. Take this as if Bitcoin went on a sale!
Imagine exchanges putting out tweets reading: "SALE! 15% OFF! on the trading price of BTC" While you view this, Brian Kelly from CNBC goes live on YouTube with intro music Eye of the Tiger by Survivor playing in the background. With this the show starts, "Cryptocurrencies became more attractive yet again today, as the BTC dropped another 15% on heavy volume—the third day in a row that cryptos have gotten cheaper. The blockchain is experiencing high buy pressures…"
What a different world would we be in if only we looked at cryptocurrencies as stores of value, as estates and not as quick money-making unregulated vehicles? The attitude makes all the difference, doesn't it?

About Project Outcome for Academic Libraries
FAQ or CONTACT US
Download the Flyer (PDF)
What It Is
Project Outcome is a FREE online toolkit designed to help libraries understand and share the impact of essential library programs and services by providing simple surveys and an easy-to-use process for measuring and analyzing outcomes. Participating libraries are also provided with the resources and training support needed to apply their results and confidently advocate for their library's future. Project Outcome's standardized surveys allow libraries to aggregate their outcome data and analyze trends by service topic, program type, and over time. For the first time, academic libraries can see how the outcomes of their programs and services compare across their institution, Carnegie Class, and nation.
The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL), a division of the American Library Association, is dedicated to supporting academic libraries in assessing their performance with outcomes data. While many libraries collect data about their programs and services, what is often lacking are the data to indicate the benefits libraries provide to students and institutional goals. Measuring outcomes can provide libraries with new ways to demonstrate their effectiveness beyond gate counts and anecdotal success stories. Created by library leaders, researchers, and data analysts, and based on a model developed by the Public Library Association (PLA), Project Outcome for Academic Libraries is designed to give libraries simple tools and supportive resources to help turn better data into better libraries.
The Project Outcome surveys and toolkit are currently available to all academic libraries, independent research libraries, and library school students. Registrants that do not fall under these categories will still have access to the outcome measurement resources. For more information about the types of user accounts, visit this page.
To start measuring the impact of your library, register for Project Outcome for Academic Libraries for free today!
Join the Project Outcome conversation on Facebook, Twitter @ProjectOutcome, and our Peer Discussion Board! If you are interested in hands-on training and are involved in planning a conference or event as part of a consortium or association, contact us to schedule a workshop.
How It Works
Project Outcome provides libraries with FREE access to quick and simple patron surveys, an easy-to-use survey management tool to collect their outcomes, custom reports and interactive data dashboards for analyzing the data, and various resources to help move libraries from implementing surveys to taking action using the results. Libraries are encouraged to use their data to support and promote future action – from allocating resources more efficiently, to advocating new resources more effectively, to providing support for future library funding, activity reports, and strategic planning. For the first time, academic libraries, whether they are new to outcome measurement or advanced in data collection, have free access to standardized outcome surveys and data analysis tools they can use to effect change within their institutions and beyond.
The Project Outcome for Academic Libraries surveys helps libraries measure outcomes and assess their impact in seven key service areas:
Project Outcome helps libraries easily measure their patron outcomes, which are one piece of the assessment puzzle. Measuring outcomes helps libraries understand the specific benefits that result from their services or programs. Outcomes can be quantitative or qualitative, and are often expressed as changes that individuals perceive in themselves. They answer the question: "What good did we do?"
Project Outcome provides these tools for libraries to measure their patron outcomes:
The Project Outcome Immediate Surveys are six questions long, and include both Likert-scale and open-ended questions. The Immediate Surveys are designed to be distributed immediately after a program or service is completed and aim to help libraries better understand the immediate impact a program or service has on patrons and their intention to change behavior as a result. The Immediate Surveys are ideal for assessing the immediate impact of a program or service, informing program or service changes, and providing a "snapshot" for advocacy and reporting.
The Project Outcome Follow-Up Surveys vary in length and follow a Yes/No/Please Explain format. The Follow-Up Surveys are designed to be used 4-8 weeks after a program or service is completed and aim to help libraries better understand if patrons have changed their behavior or continued to benefit as a result of the program or service. The Follow-Up Surveys are ideal for assessing the impact of a program or service after some period of time, informing internal planning, measuring progress toward strategic goals, and providing evidence for advocacy.
The Outcome Measurement Guidelines are designed to help libraries conduct advanced methods of outcome measurement and demonstrate long-term, collaborative impact on the community.
The toolkit includes:
- A survey management tool where libraries can create and customize their surveys, enter and track responses, and download their raw data.
- Ready-made and customizable reports that make it easy for libraries to share their results and advocate for their programs and services.
- Interactive data dashboards that help libraries analyze their results.
- A variety of training resources, including outcome measurement guidelines, best practices, case studies, and more.
Project Outcome was first developed by the Performance Measurement Task Force of the Public Library Association (PLA). After collecting outcome data from 2013 PLDS survey responses and conducting pilot tests in 27 libraries in late 2014, the Task Force identified the seven essential library service areas for Project Outcome to assess that could be easily and directly linked to improving or changing a patron's knowledge, application, confidence, and awareness. PLA launched the Project Outcome Immediate Surveys and online toolkit on June 26, 2015. PLA's Follow-Up Surveys were released to the public on June 24, 2016 at the ALA Annual Conference in Orlando. The work of the Task Force caught the eye of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Their generous funding support has enabled PLA to accelerate and expand the reach of Project Outcome.
PLA noticed a strong interest in the Project Outcome assessment tools from academic libraries and approached ACRL in 2017. The ACRL Board voted to appoint a the Project Outcome for Academic Libraries Task Force in November 2017 and charged it with adapting Project Outcome to an academic library context. The task force decided on seven academic library service areas and 54 institutions engaged in field-testing the new surveys between June and October 2018. The Project Outcome for Academic Libraries toolkit launches at the ACRL conference in Cleveland in April 2019.

Crazy gamblers, huge buffets and lots of Bling Bling: Welcome to Macau
What makes Macau so special? Is it the idyllic setting in the Chinese Pearl River Delta? Is it its proximity to Hong Kong? Or the fact that millions of Chinese businessmen come here every year to try their luck at the casino or dance and drink the night and their loss of cash away? One thing is for sure: Macau is slightly different from all the Chinese cities you may know.

Let's Get Shabby challenge #43 Antoinette Birthday card
The image inspiration put me in mind of some paper I have from Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine. I paired the paper with Inspired by Stamping stamps both inside and out, and distressed the heck out of everything. The IBS set I used here—All Year Wishes II—has some nice little flourishes that come along with it. I used one on the tag's end.
I even shabbied up the inside of the card. The inside IBS stamp is from the Big Wishes set.
And here's the inspiration photo.
Stamps—Inspired by Stamping Big Wishes and All Year Wishes II
Dies—Artemio, Die-Namics
Paper—Folio, Cardmaking and Papercraft, vintage sheet music
Embellishements—ribbon, button, twine, flowers, stick-pin
