RESPONSE / RECOMMENDATION: Currently, there is no clinical research available to answer whether the timescale in the development of biofilm formation differs between bacterial species. In vitro studies show high variability in biofilm formation based on bacterial strains and conditions. Animal studies have demonstrated rapid (minutes to hours) biofilm formation. The group notes that the timeline of biofilm formation may not correlate with the onset of infection symptoms.

In the heart of South-East Asia, bordered by Laos, Malaysia, Cambodia and Burma, Thailand is the meeting point of all those peoples and cultures that forged the history of this age-old continent for thousands of years.
Although the country resolutely looks to the future and is developing cities of breathtaking modernity, it has still managed to preserve its exceptional heritage. The historic cities in the north and the Khmer temples are attractions that simply mustn't be missed. What's more, Thailand has a rich geography that makes it one of the most sought-after places in the world, including paradise islands, luxuriant jungle – where tigers and elephants roam –, outstanding beaches, with Phuket still in pride of place, and a superb seabed that has made it one of the favourite destinations for divers from across the globe. Add to that a unique culture and a cuisine of exceptional subtlety and variety, and you will understand why Thailand has become South-East Asia's foremost tourist destination.


text: This article explores the ways in which mothers of extremely premature children make sense of their negative feelings towards their newborn child and their strategies for performing ''proper motherhood''. The analysis was guided by discursive psychology and the feminist debate on attachment, mother–infant bonding, and ''good mother-hood''. The empirical material was created within a sub-study that set out to explore mothers' and fathers' experiences of having a premature child and was part of a project investigating the need for support for premature children and their families. Parents were interviewed about the pregnancy, their experiences of the birth and hospital period, the process of going home, the experiences of pre-school and school, and thoughts about the future. The stories of four mothers, which dealt with negative feelings towards their child and the guilt and distress related to this, were selected for analysis. The mothers handled their troubled positions as subjects unable to feel ''motherly love'' by referring to notions of attachment and bonding, and good mother-hood as being loving and caring. Yet, the mothers also talked about motherhood as being socially constructed, as duties that can be performed without the ''right motherly feelings'', and as something that men could also perform.

'My friend! She fell off the building!' Neighbors reveal horrified cries of man whose date plunged 17 floors to her death on their first date
- Jennifer Rosoff, 35, was on a first date when she fell to her death
- She placed leg on balcony but it gave way and sent her plummeting 140 feet
- Neighbours heard horrifying screams of her date Stephen Close, 35
- Police source said Mr Close tried to warn the woman to get down
Promising career: Advertising executive Jennifer Rosoff was on a first date when she plunged to her death
A horrified man was heard screaming 'My friend fell! She fell off the building!' after his date plummeted to her death from a 17th-storey balcony.
Stephen Close, 35, had been out to dinner with Jennifer Rosoff, 35, on Wednesday evening before she invited him back to her apartment in New York.
At just before 1am yesterday the pair, who were on their first date, went onto the narrow balcony of the apartment for a cigarette.
But when Miss Rosoff placed her leg on the railing to stretch, insisting to her concerned date that it was safe, the balcony collapsed, sending the successful advertising executive plummeting 140 feet to her death.
As reported by the New York Post, witnesses heard Mr Close, who works in real estate, scream : 'My friend fell! She fell off the building!'
A witness said he was 'hysterical' and ran outside screaming 'Oh my god!'
Speaking to the newspaper, a police source said Mr Close tried to warn the woman to get down.
He heard two pops before the railing buckled, sending his date plummeting to the ground.
'He looked at the balcony, and he told her, "Look, this thing looks unstable. Hey, maybe you want to get down," the source said.
Emergency crews pronounced Rosoff dead at the scene. The medical examiner will determine a cause of death.
Rosoff, who graduated from Tulane University in New Orleans with a degree in communications, worked at The New Yorker, Lucky Magazine and Cosmopolitan before recently joining a new media advertising startup called TripleLift employing about 15 people, according to her LinkedIn profile.
'Her tremendous energy and humor brought so much joy to the office,' the chief executive, Eric Berry, said in a statement. 'The entire company is distraught by the loss of Ms. Rosoff — she will be deeply missed.'
Her Twitter account was updated shortly before her fatal fall.
As news of Rosoff's tragic death spread online, tributes started pouring in from devastated co-workers and friends.
Rosoff's sister, Alexis Treeby, heard about her sister's tragic demise at about 5am.
'She was a lovely person. My children adored her,' Treeby told DNAinfo. 'She was kind, generous and did charity work.'
Jennifer Rosoff, 35, plunged 17 floors to her death after the balcony railing gave way when she leaned on it
The two metal balcony railings on Rosoff's corner apartment were bent down in a V-shape
Those who knew her described Rosoff as an 'A-player' in the highly competitive media advertising field who was career-driven and very athletic.
'Jenn was a force to be reckoned with, smart, dynamic and charismatic,' Lisa Hughes, the publisher of The New Yorker, told the New York Times.
Danny Bellish, 26, a sales manager at the food magazine Saveur, recalled to amNY how in 2009, Rosoff drew a map for him on the back of a menu outlining all the things he needed to do to advance his career.
Rosoff, who at the time worked for Cosmopolitan, also helped Bellish's girlfriend land an internship and organized a trunk show for his mother's jewelry business.
The gray brick high-rise building on Manhattan's Upper East Side was built before World War II.
Only the higher-floor corner apartments have balconies, and the city's buildings department ordered residents to stay off them following the woman's deadly fall.
A photo of the corner balcony of the apartment where Rosoff lived shows the top two metal railings bent down in a V-shape. Buildings officials took part of the broken railing to examine how it could have given way and plan to determine whether the other balconies are structurally sound.
The company that manages the upscale Manhattan building was slapped with a fine earlier this year for filing a safety inspection reports several months late, it was revealed tonight.
However the safety inspection was carried out and residents maintain the building was well maintained.
In 2010, after 24-year-old social worker Connor Donohue fell from his 24th-floor balcony at 330 East 39th Street when the railing gave way, the city conducted safety inspections on hundreds of residences. Tenants at 16 buildings were ordered to stay off their balconies because they were deemed unsafe.
'A-player': Rosoff's friends described her as a 'force to be reckoned with' who was career-driven and athletic
Some 800 building owners failed to file mandatory inspection reports on the safety of their balconies and terraces, officials found. They are required to file every five years.
For Rosoff's building, which was bought by the property management company Stonehenge a year-and-a-half ago, the inspection report was last filed in February several months past due, causing the company to incur a $250 penalty.
Local residents said their apartment building is well-maintained and that Stonehenge has been making major improvement to the units.
In a written statement, the management company said: 'This is a tragedy and our sincere condolences go out to the family and friends of Ms Rosoff.
Dynamic: Rosoff, a graduate of Tulane University, worked at The New Yorker, Lucky Magazine and Cosmopolitan before recently joining a new media advertising startup
'We are cooperating fully with the investigation into the cause of this terrible accident.'
Those who knew the 35-year-old described her as an 'A-player' in the highly competitive media advertising field who was career-driven and very athletic.
Jennifer Rosoff went outside for a cigarette with her date, who she met online, about 12.50am Thursday when the railing of the narrow balcony collapsed after she propped her leg on it to stretch, according to DNAinfo.
When the volunteer charity worker's date told her that it wasn't safe to lean on the railing, she insisted she 'did it all the time' before tumbling from the Stonehedge 57 apartment ledge, landing on construction scaffolding on the first floor.
Emergency crews pronounced Rosoff dead at the scene.
Associated Press said the railings were made of metal, which witnesses claim were 'bent and twisted'.
New York Post claims its sources revealed the date told police he heard two sharp pops before the railing collapsed.
Police have cleared the man, who had met Rosoff in person for the first time that night, of any possible wrongdoing.
DNAinfo reported the man's parents answered his apartment door and said he was home, but declined to comment.
Neighbors at the 400 East 57th Street building, near First Avenue in Manhattan's Midtown East, compared the sound of Rosoff's fall to a 'gunshot' and a 'punch'.
Soda executive Steve Hersch, who lives two doors down from Rosoff, told DNAinfo: 'I heard a bang. I thought it was a gunshot.'
Sara Shubert said: 'It sounded like a 200-pound punch.'
Precaution: The city's buildings department ordered residents to stay off their balconies following the woman¿s deadly fall
Jennifer Rosoff, 35, has plunged to her death while on her first date after the railing on her 17th-floor New York City balcony gave way
Meanwhile the Department of Buildings issued a vacate order for the building's balconies this morning, saying conditions there were 'imminently perilous to life'.
A department spokeswoman told New York Times that inspectors were investigating conditions and would report on their findings later today.
However, Daily News reported the building was cited for a construction violation on June 27, according to the Department of Buildings online records.

By Henry Umoru
ABUJA—THE Senate yesterday reversed its earlier decision that N242 billion be removed from Service Wide votes for the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and security agencies, and vired N35.5 billion from power and education votes for purposes of conducting the 2019 elections.
Falana petitions NHRC over killing of Shi'ites, flays Army, Police
Of the N35.5 billion, N25.5 billion was vired from the N714.668 billion allocations to the Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, while N10 billion was taken from the Education Ministry's N651.226 billion in the 2019 budget to make up the N242 billion budget for the election.
Adopting a new report submitted by the Committee on Appropriations by its Chairman, Senator Danjuma Goje and 18 others, the Upper Chamber said only N121.2 billion would now be taken from the Service Wide Votes, while the balance of N121 billion will be taken from 30 Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs.
In his presentation, Senator Goje said the earlier virement of N242bn for the elections budget entirely from service wide votes ( Special Intervention Programme ) should be rescinded and approved new recommended sources.
Other affected MDAs are Federal Ministry of Water Resources, N12.954bn vired from its N155.149bn 2018 budget; Federal Ministry of Agriculture, N11billion vired from its N203bn 2018 budget .
Others include Ministry of Budget and National Planning, N8.845bn; Ministry of Defence, N2.636bn; Foreign Affairs, N1.737bn; and Federal Ministry of Health, N8.059bn.
Also affected in the virements are Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, N6.734bn; Office of the National Security Adviser, N1.120bn; Ministry of Labour and Employment, N2.727bn; Information and Culture, N1.884bn; Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs, N1.199bn; Science and Technology, N7.466bn; Industry, Trade and Investment, N7.085bn.
The committee in the report, however, retained the spread of the N242bn virement votes for conduct of the 2019 general elections across the six affected agencies as earlier approved by both chambers of the National Assembly, with the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, getting NN189 billion; the Nigeria Police Force, N27.3bn; and Office of National Security Adviser, N9.481bn.
Others are the Department of State Services, DSS, N10.213bn; the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, N3.573bn; and the Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, N2.628bn, totally, N242.245, 050,100bn.
In his presentation, Senator Goje said: "Recall the approval of the virement/supplementary budget for INEC and security agencies for the conduct of the 2019 general elections in the sum of N242, 245, 050,100 only, which is to be funded from the Service Wide Votes on October 16, 2018-Senate Resolution (S/RS/027/04/8);
"Senate is aware that because of some obvious and imminent issues of national socio- economic importance, the virement/supplementary request cannot be implemented as earlier approved.
"Accordingly resolves to: Rescind and reconsider its approval of the request as contained in resolution (S/RS/027/04/8) in line with Order 53(6) of its Standing Order; and Approve the sum of N242,245,050,100 only."
While the sole recommendation of the Goje led Committee was unanimously carried, an additional prayer was adopted to allow Senate Committee on Police Affairs investigate how the Nigeria Police Force has utilised previous allocation for election purposes in the last two general elections.
The second resolution was consequent upon Senator Dino Melaye's query of allocation of N27, 341,317,433 to the Police for the purpose of the 2019 polls.
Melaye had argued that such collosal amount of money is not needed by the He Police that had 2018 budgetary allocation.
But in his response, Goje said Melaye's complaint was, however, belated after both chambers of the National Assembly had already passed the 2019 election budget.
Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, in his remarks, reframed Melaye's concerns as he suggested that the police committee be mandated to look into the utilisation of previous allocation to the Police for election monitoring.
The committee is expected to submit its report in two weeks.

Putting my Ankles to the Test at the West Wycombe Trails 10k
The West Wycombe Trails 10k is only in its second year, organised by the local Hazlemere Runners running club. Unfortuntely, I had to give it a miss last year as I had reached the halfway point in my pregnancy and I felt ready to put running on hold until after my son Alex was born. I was therefore very much looking forward to lacing up for it this June. Although not an official club event, quite a few of us represented Marlow Striders at this race.

Here come the 'Men in Black'
They may not have a Hulk (or a God of mischief, for that matter), but half of the Revengers are back together again for the new "Men in Black". Chris Hemsworth took to Instagram today to share a first look from the set of the Sony Pictures release that reunites him with "Thor: Ragnarok" costar Tessa Thompson:
UPDATE: Tessa Thompson has posted two more shots to her own Instagram account:
Details on the new "Men in Black" are, at the moment, few and far between. Hemsworth and Thompson will play agents within the Men in Black organization in a story that expands the world of the original Barry Sonnenfeld trilogy. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, who headlined the first three films, are not involved this time around, but the film will feature the return of Emma Thompson as Agent O. Thompson previously played O in the present day sequences in "Men in Black III" with Alice Eve in the role for the scenes set in 1969.
The new "Men in Black" also features roles for Liam Neeson, Kumail Nanjiani, Rafe Spall and Rebecca Ferguson. It is being directed by F. Gary Gray, the helmer behind films like "Straight Outta Compton" and the recent "The Fate of the Furious". "Iron Man" scribes Matt Holloway & Art Marcum are providing the screenplay with Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald returning to produce alongside Steven Spielberg as executive producer.
Look for the new "Men in Black" on the big screen June 14, 2019.

Our education interventions are based on several baseline studies conducted, which showed lack of quality of teaching which prevented children from acquiring specific learning skills. Our aim is to bring about change by providing them the chance to learn in a creative and practical space.
We practice our "train-the trainer" model where teachers are provided with intensive training on how to involve children in the learning process. Many of the activities in our programmes are conducted with locally sourced materials.
The Education interventions is divided into five programmes – Strengthening Nali Kali, Learning Improvement Programme (LIP), Library, Proficiency in English (PIE) and Information and Communications Technology (ICT).
Since we started the education intervention,
82,993 students
have improved in learning levels
The Nali Kali intervention focuses on the joyful learning methodology practised in grades 1 to 3 in Government schools. The aim is to ensure early literacy competencies in Kannada language learning, basic numeracy and environment science, and to support children through primary and on to middle and high school. Supplementary activities developed by Kalike are being carried out by teachers in the classroom.Explore
Learning Improvement Programme (LIP) is delivered to students who have been identified from Grade 3 to 5 as having difficulties in reading and writing Kannada language. Many of the activities conducted in the classes are practical in nature, involving activity cards, blackboards, seeds, beads, stationary and more. Reading material and workbooks are also distributed to facilitate the learning among children.Explore
The Information and Communications Technology programme was started to help teachers and students in high school achieve a technology-driven conceptual learning, peer-to-peer knowledge sharing, and achieve a wholesome experiential learning.Explore
The Proficiency in English programme aims to improve skills in English language speaking, reading and writing. Regular trainings are provided to teachers to enhance their proficiency in English language for improved classroom transaction along with appropriate teaching learning materials.Explore
This programme aims to improve the reading skills, general knowledge and fluency of students in Grades 4 to 7. Forty of the schools are a part of the intensive approach, with dedicated library spaces with specially trained facilitators while the remaining sixty are under the extensive approach, where the library period is integrated to school time table and sessions are carried out by school teachers.Explore
The impact and transformation that we have created breathe through the community of Yadgir. We continue to learn from them and use their experiences to create a more personalised approach.
Yellappa was a shy student. He had difficulties in understanding and learning concepts. He was not confident about reading and writing english.

U.S. pledges $212 million in additional aid to Palestine
The U.S. government will provide $212 million in additional aid to fund relief and reconstruction efforts in Palestine after this summer's war with Israel in the Gaza Strip, the State Department said Sunday.
The money will provide humanitarian relief, repair war-damaged infrastructure, and fund and support hospitals, among other activities. The new commitment doubles the total aid that the U.S. has pledged for Palestinian relief and rebuilding efforts to $414 million total.
"This money will, we hope, help promote security and stability, and economic development, and it will provide for immediate distribution of food, medicine, and shelter materials for hundreds of thousands for the coming winter," Secretary of State John Kerry said in Cairo at a conference of Gaza donors. "And it is money that is going to help reconstruct Gaza's damaged water and sanitation system, so that Palestinians in Gaza will have access to water that they can drink and homes that they can actually start rebuilding."
The conference raised $5.4 billion in total aid for Palestine.
The two sides reached an open-ended cease-fire in late August after nearly two months of fighting and a death toll of more than 2,100 Palestinians and 73 Israelis.
Kerry urged a return to Middle East peace talks, which have stalled despite efforts by the U.S. to advance them. "The United States remains fully, totally committed to returning to the negotiations not for the sake of it, but because the goal of this conference and the future of this region demand it," he said.

From a land, where olive trees pre-existed, on a consolidated part, there lies the estate of Grammaticos, full of revitalized and fenced olive groves.
The cultivation is done according to temporal biological methods
The harvest is done by experienced numerous personnel via manual labour only
The olives are daily transferred in containers to a modern and exclusively biological oil mill
The olive oil is then stored in stainless tanks under ideal conditions and packaged after being naturally left to settle
Our olive groves are located to sea level grounds, viewing the Ionian Sea in the west and the mountains of Peloponnese in the east. Their geographical location provides the ideal microclima for their constant growth.
Equal, squared parts of land, where drainage and irrigation thoroughly take place, resulting to a stabilized growth PH.

The Complete Tales of Jules de Grandin, Volume FiveBy Seabury Quinn

The concluding volume in a series collecting the stories of Jules de Grandin, the supernatural detective made famous in the classic pulp magazine Weird Tales.
Today the names of H. P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, August Derleth, and Clark Ashton Smith, all regular contributors to the pulp magazine Weird Tales during the first half of the twentieth century, are recognizable even to casual readers of the bizarre and fantastic. And yet despite being more popular than them all during the golden era of genre pulp fiction, there is another author whose name and work have fallen into obscurity: Seabury Quinn.
Quinn's short stories were featured in well over half of Weird Tales's original publication run. His most famous character, the French supernatural detective Dr. Jules de Grandin, investigated cases involving monsters, devil worshippers, serial killers, and spirits from beyond the grave, often set in the small town of Harrisonville, New Jersey. In de Grandin there are familiar shades of both Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot, and alongside his assistant, Dr. Samuel Trowbridge, de Grandin's knack for solving mysteries—and his outbursts of peculiar French-isms (Grand Dieu!)—captivated readers for nearly three decades.
Available for the first time in trade editions, The Complete Tales of Jules de Grandin collects all ninety-three published works featuring the supernatural detective. Presented in chronological order over five volumes, this is the definitive collection of an iconic pulp hero.
The fifth volume, Black Moon, includes all the stories from "Suicide Chapel" (1938) to "The Ring of Bastet" (1951), as well as an introduction by George Vanderburgh and Robert Weinberg and a foreword by Stephen Jones.
Seabury Quinn was a pulp magazine author whose popular stories of the occult detective Jules de Grandin were published in Weird Tales between 1925 and 1951. Quinn penned ninety-two short stories and one full-length novel featuring "the occult Hercule Poirot," which were enormously popular with readers. Quinn lived in Washington, D.C., MD, United States, and died in 1969.

"Connoisseurs of pulp adventure . . . will be delighted."—Publishers Weekly
"A collection of wonderfully fun mashups. Seabury Quinn's stories are bloody and action-packed, with the sort of shameless, disreputable charm that characterizes the best of the pulps.

I am ever grateful for the time I get to spend with you and with your children. It is a blessing beyond compare and I enjoy every minute (yes, even those minutes).
On Weds., we had a wonderful winding down day. We did some reflection, talked about what we would love to do next semester and dove into some physics activities based on force, balance and motion. Ask your kids about balancing a crayfish made of card stock on their finger, using clothespins as counter-weights. And then ask them about the challenges involved in getting a pencil to balance on top of a craft stick, point-down. Hint: we used wire and paperclips to design counter-weights.
Thanks so much for getting your work journals turned in on-time! And filled out so well! It made a significant difference in the time I've spent processing them. You'll all get feedback on your work journals, most likely during my first week back in January.
Our next series of Wednesday Workshops (Jan. 16 - Apr. 10) will focus on:
- 9:15-12:00 - Exploring Aerodynamics
- Students will study air and air flow. They will design, build and test objects that move through the air. They will also learn about interesting people connected with the history of aerodynamics (researchers, engineers, adventurers, etc.) and write a biography.
- 12:45-3:15 - Leonardo's Workshop (based on Odyssey of the Mind)
- Student teams will work autonomously to create a performance based on the following prompt from the OotM website: "Imagine how inspiring Leonardo da Vinci's workshop must have been. Teams will portray his workplace in an original, creative performance that includes LdV, a patron, and a naysayer. The team will recreate a da Vinci painting, make a three-dimensional representation of one of his works, and recreate another LdV work in any form the team wishes. There will also be an original "debunked" creation that LdV "invented" but discarded because it was mocked. Ironically, the item will be shown as something commonly used in modern times." There will be a public performance for families and guests, details TBA. If you want to understand more about the OotM approach, check out: https://www.odysseyofthemind.com/.
I am developing the content of our post-Spring Break WoW sessions, based on input from the Adventurers. I will announce the workshops in the late winter/early spring.
Here are some field trips to put on your calendar. Keep your eye on your inbox for invites with more details from SignUpGenius. Others are in the works.

Handset revenue rose 6.4pc to €7.09bn, surpassed for the first time by Apple's iPhone sales of $12.3bn (€8.4bn) in the same period.
Nokia, whose mobile phones based on its Symbian software have struggled to keep up with iPhone and Google's Android, signed a final agreement with Microsoft on the use of the US company's Windows Phone 7.
Chief executive Stephen Elop forecast operating margins in the Finnish company's handset business will decline further this quarter.
"They came in closer to the high end of the guidance which is good for the first quarter," said Alexander Peterc, an analyst with Exane BNP Paribas. "But their smartphone sales aren't sustainable in their current form because of the transition."
Nokia, which dropped as much as 4.3pc after the earnings announcement, rebounded and closed at 0.4pc higher, at the close of trading in Helsinki.
The world's largest maker of mobile phones has seen its market value shrink about 45pc in the past year to €22.3bn.
The stock has fallen 27pc since the February 11 agreement with Microsoft.
The €1bn target in reduced expenses from devices and services is for 2013, Nokia said.
The figure compares with spending of €5.65bn in 2010 and will include cuts in outsourcing and facility costs as well as job reductions, the company said.
"Because new programmes will be ramped up as others are transitioned, generally all employees can stay on the payroll through the end of the year," Mr Elop added.
Nokia will start talks with employee representatives about the scope of planned job cuts next week, he said.

Hemp & Cannabis Shop
Our Hemp & Cannabis Shop in Edinburgh
Cannabis Shop in Edinburgh? Is that legal? Well, yes. We are a shop that is dedicated to Hemp, a member of the Cannabis family, and the health and well being benefits of Cannabinoids; most specifically CBD. Hemp is a wonderfully universal natural product that can not only benefit our health and well-being but also provides a sustainable alternative to plastics and building materials.
Our little Cannabis and Hemp shop was born out of a love of Cannabis based products and an opportunity to make peoples lives better. Unlike many CBD providers in Scotland, it was very important to Dan, the Hemp founder, to have a hemp shop, rather than a business which solely existed online. He sought to create somewhere where people of all walks can come in, ask questions, talk about CBD and get the supplement that fits their requirements.
Why a Shop?
First Not- For- Profit Cannabis Shop in the UK
Our aim is to build a family of Hemp social enterprise Cannabis shops in the UK which fund multiple projects that benefit people all over the country. Find our more about our mission from our About Us page.

Like the rest of the world, we've been sheltering in place for over a week now. I felt tossed about in the storm, and overrun with fear. Where do I go from here?
Podcast #102 – The Power of Remembrance
Lately, I felt a bit disconnected from God in the midst of a stressful season. Instead of forcing myself to worship or give thanks, I took a break and remembered the last time God showed up…
My Journey With Anxiety
I wrestle with anxiety often. I'm not sure if it's an Asian thing, but many of my girlfriends also have similar struggles. When I was young, when my mom came home late from work, I would jump to the worst scenario possible and couldn't shake it off. It's weird. I remember having a rather carefree childhood. Somewhere along the way, this fearful mindset snuck in.
Agreeing with God
Do you struggle with knowing what and how to pray in the midst of differing cultural values and world views? Sometimes, the shortest prayer is the most effective prayer.
I admit, I have a love / hate relationship with social media. I refresh my FB feeds constantly. I'm drawn to the latest top search items, the latest "trending" topics. Boy, it is not good for my emotional well being.
This morning, I found myself at that place again – feeling emotionally overwhelmed, and confused with so many conflicting thoughts shouting through my head. I wanted to… needed to pray and release some of that inner tension. In the midst of the chaos, all I could say was "Yes, Lord."
Yes, Lord. We say yes.
Yes, Lord. We agree with You.
Yes, Lord. You alone are good and just.
Yes, Lord. You alone are righteous and kind.
We agree with You.
I agree with You.
Yes, Lord.
Lessons From a Love Story
I went to a wedding banquet recently. The invitation came as a surprise. Our friend, the bride, has been single for over fifteen years. She was very content with her life. Being a caretaker of an elderly parent and working a fulltime job, dating and marriage was not on the top of her priority list. Imagine my surprise when she told me she was engaged. They decided to have a private ceremony, and we were introduced to the groom for the first time at the banquet. Knowing my friend, I was very curious to learn more about this man who swept her off her feet in a matter of months. As we all got seated at the banquet, the couple got up to address everyone, and the groom began to tell their story.

I graduated from the 200 hour Dayton Method Teacher Training Program in August 2009. I was looking for a program that would better my own practice and teaching abilities while allowing me to go home to my own bed each night after training. I think the balance between the support you receive at home and the support you receive at training is invaluable. I cannot speak highly enough about the Dayton Method Teacher Training Program. In the summer of 2009, I married my husband. Four days after we were married we arrived in Huntington Beach to begin my yoga teacher training. While putting off our honeymoon for yoga was not the most appealing prospect, we both agreed that a program which would nurture my mind, body and soul would be nothing but beneficial to our marriage. We were right! The program put me in touch with who I am as a person and made me aware of the areas that were in need of work. By meditating with my classmates daily, I was able to shed the layers of anxiety that surrounded me, and begin to develop a way to manage my life. In teaching classes, my practice became re-invigorated and I was able to improve my own postures. While, my life is still a work in progress, I sincerely believe that my teacher-training course was a huge stepping-stone in self-realization, and for that I am extremely grateful.
The intimacy of the training was one of the best parts. We were able to ask questions, engage in discussion, and share our deepest thoughts. The posture clinics solidified, in my mind, the purpose and dialogue of each posture. The anatomy and philosophy classes provided the academic foundation, and the clinics were able to kinesthetically apply that knowledge. The 200 hour Dayton Method Teacher Training Program has helped me to learn how to just breathe. I would love to teach, however the studios in my area do not provide Dayton Method. I would absolutely recommend the 200 hour Dayton Method Teacher Training Program.

Response to Intervention (RTI) is the academic portion of a Multi-tiered System of Support (MTSS) - a framework to increase student achievement and social and emotional competencies through prevention and intervention in general education.
Tier 1 Core Instruction should be fully aligned to RIDE-adopted content standards:
RTI is a component of the Rhode Island Comprehensive Literacy Plan which supports educators in better understanding the components of literacy and implementation of best practices in daily instruction. Included are strategies, methods, and resources for assessment, intervention, and literacy in the content-areas.
A Comprehensive Assessment System is essential to a fully functioning RTI process.

Top 10 winter destinations (part 3/3)
Why? Sofia is one of the few European capitals with a very close and developed ski-resort (@ Vitosha mountain)
What to do? Enjoy the free walking tour! Starting point – the corner of the Palace of Justice. You should visit the university district in the evening, Students' town (Studentski grad) is where nightlife reaches the top
Where to sleep? Hostel Mostel has friendly staff, international environment, nice and tidy rooms, breakfast and dinner included in the price, good location
What to try? You can get tasty traditional Bulgarian food in bakeries, offering banitsa and other kinds of pastry. This food is often consumed with ayran or boza. Bulgarian food is delicious and cheap, vegetables, cheese and meat have good quality
Why? Its historical and medieval old city part is one of the best preserved in the whole Europe (included in the Unesco heritage's list). With snow and cold weather is even more 'authentic'
What to do? Do not miss the Tallinn Free walking tour. This walking tour, guided by local young students, is an alternative to normal sightseeing trips, and is made especially for true travellers. Enjoy Tallinn's nightlife bear in mind that in local places, beers cost around 3 € while in tourist traps much more…
What to try? Go to Valli baar pub and try 'millimallikas' (meaning 'jellyfish') shot…everyone visiting Tallinn should try it.
Why? Zagreb is the only capital in the world that hosts a Ski World Cup race. The "Snow Queen Trophy" (Snjezna kraljica) usually takes place in January.
What to do? Hike or reach the mountain overlooking Zagreb (Medvednica), there is a fortress (Medvedgrad) and fascinating views of the city, many excellent hiking and biking routes are available. Many bars are located around Flover square (Cvjetni trg), the main square (Trg Bana Josipa Jelačića), Preradovićeva, Tkalčićeva, Radićeva, Bogovićeva, and Gajeva streets
What to try? Local fast food is called burek a salty pie filled with minced meat/cheese/spinach. All bakeries (pekara) serve it, is cheap and delicious. Local balkan style food is cheap and delicious in restaurants too.
Where to sleep? Funk Lounge hostel is the perfect accommodation during your visit to Zagreb. Is a friendly 'party hostel', really well-organized and with all the comforts
The end of my balkan tour
Oh yes, cause the beginning of a tour includes also the end of it…
After Sarajevo I travelled back to Banja Luka. On the bus way I discovered Zenica a polluted city
and other signs about this amazing and controversial land.
When waiting for the next bus connection to Zagreb, in Banja luka I could enjoy some funny signs…
As I did when I arrived in Zagreb
How could I spend my time while travelling?
When I reached Ljubljana, this time the weather wasn't that favorable, so I had to spend more time in closed places…
But still my thoughts are always concentrated in positive topics
Arriving at Trieste my balkan tour was over…but not for long! Next week I'm travellingagain 'on the road' !!! 🙂
Trieste promenade on the way to Miramare castle
Zagreb & Banja Luka
After Ljubljana I reached Zagreb (capital of Croatia) by train. Arrived at the hostel I had some fun…
Alcool is not the most important part of a tour, so a bit of sightseeing, even if at 2am is necessary…
…and as football is an important hobby for myself, why not to check the local football stadium of dinamo zagreb?
During this night city tour I could realize that 1) cinderella is still alive and lives in zagreb 2) someone in zagreb likes Maradona as in Napoli we all do!
Zagreb is a vibrant city, with a medieval 'old city' that has reminiscent of Vienna, Budapest, Prague and other Central-European capitals for its architecture and narrow cobbled streets. Gornji grad, (Upper Town) and Donji grad (Lower Town) are the cultural, religious, and commercial hubs of Zagreb. Most of the restaurants, bars and tourist attractions are located there. The Upper Town, is the medieval core of the city. There are many fast-food, pizza-cut, sandwich bars arround the city. Most are located in the city center. Local fast food is called burek a salty pie filled with minced meat/cheese/spinach. All bakeries (pekara) serve it, is cheap and delicious. Other specialties is called cevapi, small grilled sausages served in a pita bread. Delicious. You can also find many kebabs and pancake-to-go places. There are many good coffee shops, which do not serve food. Zagrebites seem to like to sit and linger over coffee, but eat on the go. Many bars and clubs are located around Flover square (Cvjetni trg), the main square (Trg Bana Josipa Jelačića), Preradovićeva, Tkalčićeva, Radićeva, Bogovićeva, and Gajeva streets.
After two days of fun with people met at the hostel and from the city I continued my balkan tour, destination Banja Luka and Republika Srpska, by bus, during an heavy snow storm…and a boring passport check, crossing the bosnia border.
What is interesting about this country: Bosnia suffered a war, during 1992-1995, when ex jugoslavia split itself in many republics. Nowadays bosnia is a federation of 2 entities: federation of Bosnia-herzegovina (maggiority is muslim bosniaks) and Republika Srpska (bosnian republic of serbia, mostly with orthodox serbs). Together with bosniak muslims, orthodox serbs there is a third ethnic group: christian croats.
Thankfully in Banja Luka I met a new friend, Arcibald and an interesting city
Of course I couldn't miss the chance to visit the local football stadium…
…and try the local version of cevapi. This is a 'must-to-do' (together with serbian jelen pivo)

I'm back online, from a too long absence due to a computer implosion that we had to fix, despite moving to Canada in a month and not bringing the computer with us, because we need the computer to do things like use ebay and place orders and write nice emails to work enquiring as to where the hell my redundancy payment is (thanks, just got it).
Anyway, in the mean time, I have discovered the cure to the world's ills. No more war, no more heartache. Everyone needs to just stop and eat some Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Therapy. Seriously, it's that good. And it's on for two for five quid at Tesco's. Or at least it was last week. I'd stock up on like 20 but we have to get rid of our freezer soon.

found a backup cd rom from 2001 that was surprisingly still readable. it includes this screenshot of my macOS X desktop from back then
whoa i found another screenshot in which i am writing an email about my first impressions of mac OS X! hilarious. transcript of email in next toot(s)...
visible part of email reads:
"... KDE, never tried Solaris...). As a Macintosh, it's different... not quite a Mac, but not anything else, either. It's different enough that I find myself reaching for Ctrl+C to copy, rather than Apple+C. Weird weird weird.
I've attached a screenshot just for kicks. With Terminal running, too. Oh yeah, that's the freakiest thing, a Mac with a command line. Also, for comparison, I've got a Classic application running too."
the backup CD includes a Eudora folder with email going back to at least 1995. nice
@bunnyhero OSX and Quartz were suffering a bit of 90's hangover weren't they?
I had a Sage iMac I bought in 2000, and I was so happy with OSX that I used it for the next 10 years across two different Macs.
