Located in the East End's Shoreditch, the Geffrye Museum combines charming displays on urban living through the ages with an insight into historic almshouse life in the area. This may not be one of London's best known museums, but it is well worth a visit.
The Geffrye Museum is embarking on a transformational £18m development project – Unlocking the Geffrye. This will mean that the museum will close on 7th January 2018 for almost two years.
Although the main museum building and period gardens will be closed, there will still be plenty of reasons to visit. Throughout closure we will run a programme of events and activities in our front gardens. The restored almshouse will also be open for tours on certain dates throughout the year.
You don't have to be interested in interior design to enjoy the museum's room displays, and you'll also get an inside view into the Grade 1 listed historic buildings that house its collections.
The History of the Geffrye Museum.
The museum officially opened in 1914. It is located in a set of historic almshouses established by the Ironmongers Company. These were built in 1714 with funds from a bequest from Sir Robert Geffrye, who was once a Lord Mayor of London and Master of the Ironmongers Company. These almshouses served the local community for over 200 years, giving a home to around fifty pensioners at a time.
But, by the early 20th century, Shoreditch was not a particularly pleasant place to live in. Like much of the East End, it was overcrowded and could be dangerous. The Ironmongers Company decided to sell the almshouses and move their pensioners to a better area. London City Council bought the buildings in 1911, and in 1914 agreed to convert the premises into a museum.
Originally set up as an educational resource for local workers in furniture industries, by the 1930s the museum had a much wider scope with a focus on interiors and home life through the ages. It became a popular local resource for families with children.
Displays at the Geffrye Museum
The Geffrye Museum showcases the lives of British people in an unusual way. Each of its display rooms, originally called parlours and drawing rooms, gives a snapshot of living room life in a specific period. Everything in the room is set out as it would have been at that time with authentic furniture, fixtures and fittings. There are currently eleven rooms on display in the main museum, covering designs from 1600 to the present day.
Christmas at the Geffrye Museum
If you're considering visiting the Geffrye with children, then there are plenty of regular activities for them, but you may want to time a visit for the Christmas holidays. During this period, each of the rooms in the main museum gets a seasonal makeover, so that you can see how Christmas celebrations have changed over the years. It's quite a sight to see the look on children's faces when they reach the room set in the time of Cromwell and realise that he really did ban Christmas!
The Geffrye Museum Gardens
The museum has a couple of gardens at the back of the building, which are worth a visit. Bear in mind that these are only open to the public between April 1st and October 31st each year. The museum sets out the gardens in chronological order, in keeping with the way its interior displays work. The period gardens showcase gardens since the 17th century. You can see an authentic Tudor knot garden with a design based on a motif found on a livery cupboard dating back to the 1600s in the museum's hall.
The herb garden follows a formal plan, contains over 170 different plants and is designed around a bronze feature piece made by a local artist. It contains many of the household herbs that were used in many different ways by families over the centuries. So, for example, you can see herbs used for cooking, medicine, dyeing and scent.
The Geffrye Almshouse
The museum has restored one of its almshouses so visitors can see what it was like to live in this kind of social housing. Most of the interior fittings in the house are original, including the staircase, closets and wall panels. You can look around two rooms, which have been furnished in the styles of the 18th and 19th centuries, and see exactly how the Geffrye pensioners lived.
This can be a bit of an eye-opener, especially for children. People who lived here in the 18th century lived in fairly sparse conditions; those who lived here in the 19th century were much more comfortable. You can also see a display on the history of the Geffrye almshouses and its East End residents in this area of the museum.
Visiting the Geffrye Museum
Entrance to the Geffrye's main museum, exhibitions and gardens is free. The museum is closed on Mondays unless one falls on a Bank Holiday, although this doesn't include holidays during Christmas, New Year or Easter. The almshouse museum area does not keep the same opening schedule as the main building, and is open for timed-slot visits and guided tours on a few days each month – up to date details are stored on the museum's website. There is a small charge to visit this part of the museum.

Drawing hands is a big challenge when you start sketching a human body. A hand is a complex structure. It is very flexible and each finger is flexible too. As a result, there is an unlimited number of hand gestures. That's why I decided to make this lesson that will teach you to analyze images of different hand gestures. Based on that analysis you will be able to draw any hand gesture that you want to depict.
Using photographic references is very beneficial in practical terms. It will improve your drawing skills. After a while, you will just "feel" how to draw hands in certain positions without any external source.
First, take a look at these two videos, where I am explaining how to analyze the hands on images.
Now take a look at this hand that is holding a bag. How to draw it? Well, first take a look at the pink outline. We see a simple polygon. Stick it to the wrist. After that locate 4 joints on the top of it. Take a look at the "finger-lines" on the reference image. Pay attention to whether the fingers have the same or different directions and to whether they are bent or not. After that finish drawing fingers, outline the hand drawing and start coloring.
On the next photo, we see two curved lines: the left line is less sloped and curved inwards; the right one is more sloped and curved outwards. The joints are located on declining arch. The second row of joints (pink dots) has the similar shape as the first one (green dots).
In the next example, we draw two similar lines (in red) – the second one is shorter and slightly bent inwards. We position joints diagonally, closer to the longer line. We find the direction of the finger-lines and then with their help we finish drawing finger. Don't forget about
Usually, when I draw the length between wrist and joints is equal to the length of half face (approx. from a chin to the middle part of a nose). Long fingers have similar length. So total length of a palm is equal to a total length of a face.
When you draw hands pay attention to the relationship between smaller parts as well. For example, in the image below we see that her thumb ends on the level of the second joint row (in green). Her other fingers (in blue) are at the same level as the base of thumb's nail.
Hope this helped. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions in the comment section below. Non parlo americano, so I would really appreciate if you spot any mistakes that I could improve in the article 🙂

Two injured climbers who fell on Oregon's Mount Hood were airlifted to safety, officials said Saturday. The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office said the climbers, a man and a woman, were injured near Hogsback, a popular route on the south side of the mountain.
The injured woman broke both her ankles and the man broke his leg, Deputy Ben Frazier told NBC station KGW. They were airlifted off the mountain by a National Guard helicopter and taken to a Portland hospital. A third climber who also fell was able to make it down the mountain with assistance, according to KGW. Steve Rollins with Portland Mountain Rescue told KGW a rescue team was training on the mountain and was able to immediately reach the injured climbers after they fell. The names of the climbers have not been released.

Yesterday's post was about a photo project to document a single day – May 15, 2012. Anyone could participate by taking photos using camera, cell phone, etc. then uploading to the ADay website.
According to the website, so many people were uploading that versions of Internet Explorer were not working. Using a different browser, such as Google Chrome, Firefox, or Safari' was suggestion or waiting – photos taken on May 15 can be uploaded until May 22, a week later.
This Canon digital Elph PowerShot camera accompanied Grenville and I on routine activities yesterday, such as going to the post office, recycling center, and YMCA. In late afternoon, we walked to a nearby CVS.
Here's the shots taken in collages. Click on any to enlarge.
Early Tuesday morning was overcast as the day alternated between sun and clouds. These views show some of the main streets in Onley VA. It's a very small with a population slightly over 500. Seems like everyone stayed indoors.
The Onley, VA post office is within walking distance of our home. We pick-up our mail at a P.O. box; only residents living on Main Street have home delivery.
The YMCA, we use regularly, is on U.S. Rte. 13, a few miles from home. You can get a cup of fresh coffee any time of day.
The Onley Fire & Rescue (long blue building) is a short walk down the street from The Frog & PenguINN. The small brick building is the town office/police department. The Lighthouse Thrift Store is at the top left; next to it is the Historic Onley Train Station. The Onley Baptist Church is still missing its steeple; Onley Methodist Church is the brick building.
Random scenes as we travelled around yesterday. never going more than 3 miles from home.Many of these homes date to the early 1900s, including ours.
The rain held off while we walked in late afternoon.
I will upload photos to aDay by the end of this week.
Did any of you participate in this event?

HP Deskjet 2050
I personally have a HP Deskjet 2050. I find it is a really good printer. This machine seems to do really well on ink. I've used it for a bunch of projects and it's still good. Adding paper is quite simple, you just insert it into the slot, like most of the regular printers. It was pretty easy to set up but make sure you never lose the CD, since you'll need it in order to download the software that it requires.

Post War History
Hungarian Campaign late 1944 to the end in Austria 1945
By mid-November 1944 the Russians had formed a bridgehead at the confluence of the Drava and Danube rivers in Hungary. The Reichsgrenadier Division was transferred from its rest area in Udine, Italy to assist in the elimination of this bridgehead. Disembarking at Fünfkirchen, the Division was utilised in the counterattack launched towards the Batina area towards the southeast. Simultaneously, the Russians launched their own attack with very strong forces and despite stubborn resistance the Division was forced back towards the south of Lake Balaton where they took up positions in the partially completed "Margarethe Line" where the Division was able to withstand the Soviet onslaught until mid-February 1945. Moving from the Komarom area the Division along with others were once again tasked with attacking the Gran Bridgehead, now deeply defended by the Soviets. This mission on the 17 February 1945 was to be the last successful offensive launched by the Division and in appreciation of their success during this operation it was awarded a Divisional Cuff title "Hoch- und Deutschmeister" on the 26 February 1945.
Soon afterwards in March, as part of 2 Army, the Division took part in Operation "Spring Awakening". The goals of this operation was to break through the Russian positions and establish a solid front on the Danube, to secure oil and grain reserves vital towards the continuation of the German war effort and to relieve the siege of Budapest. Owing to adverse terrain and poor weather conditions and despite good early progress the offensive failed to achieve any of its objectives and on the 17 March 1945 "Spring Awakening" finally ran out of steam on the strong defensive positions at Sakeresztur.
On the 18 March 1945 the Russians launched their own large scale offensive, "Operation Vienna", supported by strong armoured and air forces. Despite efforts to hold their positions the Russians forced a breakthrough which threatened to envelop all German forces locally. Alongside 1st Panzer Division and other German formations the Reichsgrenadier Division supported by remaining Panzer forces was able to break out of the cauldron. Casualties were high, amongst the fallen was the Divisional Commander, GenLt von Rost and the Chief of Staff, Major i.G. Vogl. Conducting a fighting retreat the Division managed to avoid further encirclement by withdrawing to the north of Lake Balaton and then westwards towards Austria. During the last days of March the Division took up positions in the "Reichschutzstellung", this line was to be the last line of defence before the Russians crossed into the southern borders of the Reich and it extended from Bratislava in Slovakia to the north, southwards over the Brucker and Ödenburger gate, through Deutschkreutz in Burgenland and on to the southwest to the east of Ljubljana.
The main thrust towards Vienna was launched from the Stuhlweissenburg area and the City was lost after heavy fighting on the 13 April 1945. Although the southeast of the Reich had become a 'sideshow' for the Russians whose focus was now firmly on the greater prize of Berlin, the Reichsgrenadier Division, much weakened by its efforts over the last few months initially managed to hold its position at Radskerburg. However, constant and often violent confrontation with much stronger Soviet forces meant that the "Reichschutzstellung" could no longer be held. The Division now little more than a "Kampfgruppe" fell back and then via rail transport moved into lower Austria near to its peacetime garrisons at Znaim, Nikolsburg and Lundenburg (now Znojmo, Mikulov & Breclav in the modern-day Czech Republic but at that time in the Niederdonau Gau). Due to their much reduced strength the Division was no longer capable of offensive operations and was therefore assigned defensive duties in their Homeland.
On the 7 May 1945, the Division received news of the imminent surrender and was authorised to head west and surrender to the Americans. Once at Hohenfurth, negotiations with the Americans almost faltered but the Divisional Commander, GenMaj Langhäuser, managed to persuade them to accept the Division's surrender. The bulk of the Division managed to surrender to the Americans however those troops still in the Aigen-Schlögel camp to the east were taken prisoner by the Russians on 8 May 1945, many never to return home.
Until the last day of the war the soldiers of the Division had performed their duty in accordance with their oath, faithfully fulfilled to the last on Austrian soil. On the date of the unconditional surrender, 8 May 1945, The Reichsgrenadier Division "Hoch- und Deutschmeister" ceased to exist, its survivors scattered to the four winds.
Records held by the "Wehrmacht-Auskunft-Stelle (W.A.St)" in Berlin show that for the period 1939 to 1945 Divisional losses amounted to approximately 34000 men, about 11000 of those were recorded as dead or missing.

President Obama's FBI, ran by disgraced former director James Comey, knew about - but purposefully ignored - "highly classified" evidence in the Hillary Clinton email investigation before they downgraded their initial assessment of her crime from a felony to a "grossly negligent" mistake.
As The Hill's John Solomon reports, a Senate staff memo updating an ongoing inquiry by Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) reveals that the FBI decided to back off their pursuit of this damning evidence "even though the agents believed access to the sensitive evidence was "necessary" to complete the investigation," writes Solomon.
What's worse, Trump's DOJ has known about this egregious failure of justice since at least 2018 thanks to a classified report by the agency's Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who explained what happened in a briefing.
But Johnson and Grassley have been unable to get answers for a year, even from Attorney General William Barr, about whether the FBI intends to look at the critical evidence it skipped back in 2016.
The Senate staff memo succinctly lays out just how egregious the FBI's decision was in 2016.
The inspector general's "appendix raised a number of serious questions because, as explained on page 154 of the unclassified DOJ IG report, the FBI decided not to seek access to certain highly classified information potentially relevant to the investigation despite members of the FBI case team referring to the review as a 'necessary' part of the investigation," the Senate staff wrote. -The Hill
"As a result of the findings in that appendix, Senator Grassley wrote a classified letter to DOJ on October 17, 2018, which remains unanswered. On January 15, 2019, at Mr. Barr's nomination hearing, Senator Grassley asked Mr. Barr if he would answer the letter, if confirmed, to which he attested, 'Yes, Senator.' On April 16, 2019, Senators Grassley, Johnson, and Graham sent a letter to Attorney General Barr reiterating the need for a written response to that letter," reads the note.
Now-fired FBI agent Peter Strzok (who is now suing the DOJ over his ouster) was responsible for downgrading the language regarding Clinton's conduct from the criminal charge of "gross negligence" to "extremely careless."
"Gross negligence" is a legal term of art in criminal law often associated with recklessness. According to Black's Law Dictionary, gross negligence is "A severe degree of negligence taken as reckless disregard," and "Blatant indifference to one's legal duty, other's safety, or their rights." "Extremely careless," on the other hand, is not a legal term of art - and is why Clinton got off scot-free.
18 U.S. Code § 793 "Gathering, transmitting or losing defense information" specifically uses the phrase "gross negligence." Had Obama's FBI used the phrase, they would have essentially declared that Hillary had broken the law.
Perhaps the FBI decided not to pursue Hillary's "highly classified" evidence in order to avoid having to stick with "gross negligence."
Notably, FBI General Counsel James Baker thought Clinton should face criminal prosecution, but was talked out of it at the last minute.
Meanwhile, there's no doubt that the FBI's anti-Trump / pro-Clinton bias played a role in their decisions.
And in a passage that often gets overlooked by reporters and pundits alike, IG Horowitz concluded in his final report about the Clinton email caper that the anti-Trump biases that FBI agent Strzok and bureau lawyer Lisa Page expressed in text messages may have affected their decision-making to focus more urgently on the now disproven Trump-Russia collusion allegations rather than to finish work on the former secretary of state's email problems, an investigation code-named Midyear.
"In assessing the decision to prioritize the Russia investigation over following up on the Midyear-related investigative lead … we were particularly concerned about text messages sent by Strzok and Page that potentially indicated or created the appearance that investigative decisions they made were impacted by bias or improper considerations," the Justice's watchdog wrote.
So the FBI's chief lawyer originally thought Clinton should be indicted, and the bureau wrote a draft supporting the felony standard, but then walked back its decision. And agents focused more on unsubstantiated Trump collusion than Clinton emails in what the IG feared might be a sign of bias. -The Hill
And now Attorney General Bill Barr seems to be taking his sweet time formulating an answer as to what happened, and more importantly - what will come of this. We're not holding our breath.

Hi, I have been planning a light overnight tramp with my 8 year old son to Hallelujah Flat this weekend. We are both relatively inexperienced trampers. We have done the same tramp previously with a more experience friend and we both enjoyed it. This time the plan is to go by ourselves. I've been watching the Arthur's Pass National Park forecast at the Metservice website (http://www.metservice.com/mountain/arthurs-pass-national-park) and I'm not really sure how to interpret it. Hallelujah Flat (http://www.topomap.co.nz/NZTopoMap/nz33645/Hallelujah-Flat/) is relatively close to Hawden Hut which is included in the Metservice forecast. My feeling is that the forecast is not good, but I'm not sure how bad it is and if I should be putting of the trip. Can anyone with more knowledge give me an opinion on the forecast? In particular I'm unsure exactly what the "Wind chill temperature" means exactly. For instance if it's 14C does that indicate a temperature of 14C or a reduction in temp of 14C from what it would otherwise be without the wind? Thanks Andrew
Hopefully somebody who knows the area sees this and gets back to you in time, but in general I would be very reluctant to take an 8 year old into those mountains with any rain about. How many river/stream crossings does your proposed route include?
Thanks for the reply Craigo. That's pretty much my feeling too. There are about 7 or 8 river/stream crossings on the route. Thanks Andrew
Yea, and I see now that Arthur's is forecast for steady rain on both of those days. Maybe, if you can't delay, find a hut not too far from a road somewhere that doesn't involve crossings? With steep terrain and rain even small sidecreeks can quickly become a real hazard.
As an alternative trip in the general same area you could consider walking into the Bealey Spur Hut, there are no river crossings to contend with. While it involves climbing up a spur the contours are relatively gentle and you are rewarded with some great views and a sense of achievement for your son. The hut is a rustic gem with good camping available under the trees. Also the weather there can be surprisingly better than up in the headwaters. I've several times sat in sun on the spur watching as storm clouds obscure the valleys on the opposite side of the Waimak.
Thanks footsore, What is access to water like on the walk to Bealey Spur Hut? One of the things I like about going to Hallelujah Flat is plenty of spots to fill up the water bottles.
Water is an issue enroute - it pays to carry some.
While ridge walks often avoid crossings, that usually means you shouldn't rely on much water along the way. That walk crosses a tarn-fed stream, but tarns can get pretty manky and can be dry this time of year. You would more than likely have to haul a few liters of drinking water. That walk is also a 600m climb, so you might want to weigh up how you will go carrying a load up it if you're new to that kind of work. Setting off nice and early is always a good idea, but you also need to think about options for if you don't make the hut. Ideally you would make the decision to turn back with plenty of light left: overnighting on a ridge in poor weather could be an ordeal.
Hi Andrew, if you're just going into Hallelujah flats, and you've been there before, then that should give you a good measure of confidence methinks. Apart from the initial climb we find it a nice safe weekend doddle and if the weather packs in then at least you won't have any crossings to worry about if you need to retreat. If it rains then that's all part of the experience, especially with kids. It's great for their confidence to experience bad weather and come away energised by getting back to the car and home safely. Especially if you are well prepared & confident, and not phased by a little bad weather, then they will feed off that. The last time we did the Casey-Binser the weather forecast seemed to follow the Cant. High Country forecast better than the AP forecast. That may have something to do with it being just a bit further east of the divide than Hawdon. You often get quite a build up of wet weather on the divide that doesn't really spill over as expected. It can be piddling down at AP village but dry at Bealey Village. The Metvuw forecast looks ok. I don't think it will come to much until Sat night/early Sun morning, by which time you'll be safely tucked up in your tent. Looks ok for Sunday walk out.
The streams that you cross walking in to Hallelujah Flat are never a problem even after a bit of rain. They drain very small catchment areas. With a bit of judicious boulder hopping etc. we manage to keep our feet dry most times until we have to cross Casey Stream.

Emerging Leaders 2020
30 under 30 Tech Awards - Nominations Open
New Dates Announced
PeopleSoft Enterprise HCM Defeats Oracle, SAP, and Ultimate Software in Head-to-Head Product Competition
PeopleSoft Wins Portal and Employee Self-Service Competition at 'Human Resource Executive's' Annual HR Technology Conference
Sydney – November 10, 2004 – PeopleSoft, Inc. (Nasdaq: PSFT) today announced that its PeopleSoft Enterprise HRMS portal and self-service applications won the second annual product shootout competition at Human Resource Executive's 7th Annual HR Technology Conference in Chicago. At the Portal and Self-Service product competition, PeopleSoft, Oracle, SAP and Ultimate software executives each had a fixed amount of time to demonstrate how their products could be used to complete a set of common HR tasks. More than 200 HR and IT executives who judged the competition voted PeopleSoft HRMS the best overall portal and self-service solution.
"The HR Technology Conference is the only event in the world where HCM vendors agree to demonstrate the exact same tasks so they can compete head to head on standard operations and be judged by their customers as well as their competitors' customers," said Bill Kutik, co-chairman of HR Technology Conference. "Clearly, PeopleSoft was the favorite of the hundreds of executives in the room, who preferred their portal and self-service solution to the competition."
During the shootout, PeopleSoft and its competitors demonstrated how end-users would use employee and manager self-service tools within HCM applications to perform scripted tasks such as adding a dependent to an employee's benefits, enrolling in a learning class, transferring an employee, and utilising analytics to gain insight into overall workforce performance.
"PeopleSoft's portal and self-services solutions deliver an intuitive, streamlined user experience and direct access to critical information needed to quickly complete common HR tasks," Stavros Liakakos, principle marketing manager, PeopleSoft HCM. "Being recognised as having the best portal and self-service solution by attendees at HR Technology's competition clearly demonstrates PeopleSoft's continued HCM leadership."
About PeopleSoft PeopleSoft (Nasdaq: PSFT) is the world's second largest provider of enterprise application software with 12,750 customers in more than 25 industries and 150 countries. For more information, visit us at www.peoplesoft.com.

Save the World State of Development – June 2018 blog has announced that the first act of the Canny Valley campaign, and a new desert biome, are arriving shortly after the launch of v5.0 in July.Canny Valley will take players through a desert terrain and will "answer many questions – was Dr. Vinderman a hero or a villain? What happened to him? Who is "the real Ray", and where is she? What really is the Storm, and why did it happen? You'll also see Lars and his band, "Steel Wool", Dennis, Penny and all the other characters you love, along with iconic locations and enemies."
see deal
Fortnite - Xbox One$54.99on Target
In addition to the first act of the campaign, v5.0 will bring back a reworked "Challenge the Horde" mode with updated difficulty progression, combat, rewards, and the introduction of Mini-Bosses.This mode is focused on getting players into the action quickly and dropping them into a map with a pre-built base. There will be a short time to craft weapons, build additional structures, and lay traps, but waves of enemies will arrive shortly after the game begins.
Challenge the Horde will be the "primary source of event tickets" for v5.0, according to the development team.
There will be other quality-of-life improvements headed to Save the World in the near future, including notifications if a player you reported has had action taken against them, the Builder Pro control scheme, and mode-specific keybindings.Players will also be able to spend Flux and Training Manuals to obtain a particular Constructor, weapon schematic, and/or trap schematic.
Lastly, the Save the World mode will be invaded by "at least two brand-new enemy types in the next few months." A more powerful version of the Shielder and his "new friend the Zapper," will arrive before then.
Owners of Fortnite on Nintendo Switch are still unable to Cross-Play with PlayStation 4 or sign in to their Epic Accounts if they have been linked to a PS4, and a former head of Sony Online Entertainment says it's all about "Money." Nintendo and Microsoft, on the other hand, are celebrating the fact that their two consoles can play together.

Kagan: Pay TV Loses 976K in Q2
The legacy multichannel universe lost a record 976,000 video customers in the second quarter, better than expected but trends indicate the sector is in for an "unprecedented annual decline," according to data compiled by Kagan, a group within S&P Global Market Intelligence.
According to Kagan, multichannel subscriptions dropped below 96.1 million in the second quarter, down 1.8 million since 2016, not including the two largest virtual MVPDs, Sling TV and DirecTV Now. Including those two services lifts the overall pay TV number to 98 million.
Kagan's estimates were slightly higher than MoffettNathanson principal and senior analyst Craig Moffett's—who put thelosses at 941,000 for the quarter.But the message was the same—cord cutting is on the rise and consumers are increasingly moving to alternative content distributors.

Texas Armed Services Scholarship Program (TASSP)
The purpose of the Texas Armed Services Scholarship Program is to encourage students to become members of the Texas Army National Guard, the Texas Air National Guard, the Texas State Guard, the United States Coast Guard, or the United States Merchant Marine, or to become commissioned officers in any branch of the armed services of the United States. Each year the governor and the lieutenant governor may each appoint two students, and each state senator and each state representative may appoint one student to receive an initial conditional scholarship award.
Who Can Be Appointed?
Selected students must meet two of the following four academic criteria:
- Is on track to graduate or graduated high school with the Distinguished Level of Achievement Plan or the International Baccalaureate Program
- A high school GPA of 3.0 or higher
- Achieved a college readiness score on the SAT (1070) or ACT (23)
- Ranked in the top one-third of the prospective high school graduating class
Selected non-freshman students must also meet the Continued Eligibility Requirements outlined below.
The Coordinating Board requests that TASSP nomination submissions take place no later than September 30, 2019 to provide students sufficient time to complete the application process.
Initial Eligibility
Students must
- be appointed by the governor, lieutenant governor, state senator or state representative;
- enroll in a Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) or another undergraduate officer commissioning program while enrolled in the institution, as certified by the institution;
- complete school initiated TASSP application by October 15, 2019;
- agree to
- complete four years of ROTC training or the equivalent of four years of ROTC training if the institution awards ROTC credit for prior service in any branch of the U.S. Armed Services or the Texas Armed National Guard, Texas Air National Guard, Texas State Guard, United States Coast Guard, or United States Merchant Marine, or another undergraduate officer commissioning program;
- graduate no later than six years after the date first enrolled;
- after graduation, enter into
- a four year commitment to be a member of the Texas Army National Guard, Texas Air National Guard, Texas State Guard, United States Coast Guard, or United States Merchant Marine; or
- contract to serve as a commissioned officer in any branch of the armed services of the United States;
- repay the scholarship if the requirements are not met;
- meet the satisfactory academic progress requirements set by the institution.
Continued Eligibility Requirements
To maintain eligibility for future awards, the student must
- maintain satisfactory academic progress;
- continue to be a member of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC);
- not have earned a baccalaureate degree or completed a cumulative total 150 hours.
How Much Can Be Awarded?
The amount of the award will be the lesser of
- $10,000; or
- an amount not to exceed the student's cost of attendance less the total amount to be paid to a student for that academic year for being under contract with one of the branches of the armed services of the United States and other financial assistance.
A student may receive a scholarship for four of the six years allowed for graduation.
A scholarship will become a loan if the student fails to
- maintain satisfactory academic progress;
- fulfill any of the terms of the scholarship;
- fulfill a four-year commitment to be a member of the Texas Army National Guard, Texas State Guard, United States Coast Guard, or United States Merchant Marine; or
- contract to serve as a commissioned officer in any branch of the armed services of the United States.
How Can I Apply?
- You will need to be selected by a Texas senator or representative or the lieutenant governor or governor. If you are interested in this program and you feel you meet the program requirements, you should contact your legislator for more information. Students may locate their legislator by visiting, Who Represents Me. The lieutenant governor's office may be reached at 512-463-0001. To contact the governor's office, a student may call the Appointments Office at 512-463-1828 or visit the office's web page, Governor's Appointment Responsibility.
- Once selected, you will receive a Notice of Selection.
- Once you decide upon the higher education institution and corresponding ROTC program in which you will enroll, you will take your Notice of Selection to the institution's financial aid office.
- The financial aid office will certify your program eligibility to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Because program eligibility requirements include that you be enrolled in the institution and in the ROTC program at that institution, the financial aid office cannot provide their eligibility certification before those two criteria are met.
- Once the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board receives the institution's eligibility certification, you will receive an email requesting you to complete your Texas Armed Services Scholarship application at Loans Online.

Hashim, (2011) EDIBLE seaweeds: a functional food with organ protective and other therapeutic applications. Seaweed: Ecology, Nutrient Composition and Medicinal Uses. pp. 67-98. ISSN 978-161470878-0
Download (47kB) | Preview
The in vitro and in vivo antioxidant properties, total phenolic and chemical composition of various seaweeds is compiled. Seaweeds medicinal uses include for cardiovascular disease prevention, cholesterol-lowering, anti-diabetes, anti-coagulative, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulating and anti-cancer effects. The nutrients composition, vitamin C, tocopherol, dietary fibers, minerals, fatty acid and amino acid profiles of some tropical seaweeds is presented. Effects of tropical seaweeds in preventing cardiovascular diseases and cancer in animals via assessing the plasma and organs biomarkers will be given as example. Such biomarkers include activities of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and catalase (CAT); alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gama glutamyltransferase (GGT), creatinine kinase (CK), CK-MB isoenzyme, urea, creatinine and uric acid. Positive changes caused by dietary seaweeds on somatic index and histological changes in the liver, heart, kidney, brain, spleen and eye of the experimental animals are shown. The comparative in vivo cardiovascular protective effects of red and green tropical seaweeds in mammals fed on a rich lipogenic or sometimes called Western diet (24% fat and 1% cholesterol) are elaborated as a case. The potential anti-infective, antiviral and tissue healing properties of seaweeds are also incorporated.

How are you today?I am going through some huge changes in life right now, including a location and entire lifestyle change (which I can only hope will be for the best), and an intense, emotionally draining personal issue, which I also hope ends up for whatever will be best, whatever that means in the end. Besides all that, my ancient desktop died last week (Murphy's law), and I am trying to keep my stress down, and yet rely on what I know brings me strength and comfort in the long run, which includes being here. Reaching out to others makes me feel needed, and stronger. It's also been said before one of the most wonderful things about this place is that we all CAN be there for each other. For that reason, I decided to stop what I was doing, and reach out to leave this message I feel the NEED to leave, NOW.
All that celebrate , and even those that don't {just take this message in, removing the 'holiday aspect" } I hope your Thanksgiving is filled with good food, good times, good company, good memories, good feelings, whatever makes you FEEL good. I am SO grateful for all on The Teams on both coasts, the mods and staffers here, and of course, my fellow posters, many of whom I consider friends I just haven't met yet. My life would NOT be the same without any, and all of these factors. And when my life has been tougher, like it is now, you have never let me down, giving me strength without even knowing it, and I am forever grateful. Huge hugs to all, know you are thought of, and appreciated. I am thankful for ALL of the above. I will especially be glad I left this post now if I don't get to watch the Saturday Marathon Show. I only hope they all feel how much they have, and will, add to my life.
Sorry if this got a bit emotional, but I had to get my thanks and feelings out there. We never know when life might turn on a dime, and I NEVER want to feel I left ANYTHING positive and thankful unsaid. I also humbly ask for your caring thoughts and positive energy.

A blog site for the Kalani High School Class of 1969 alumni to provide a platform to exchange information and stay updated on upcoming alumni events (specifically for announcements about classmates and upcoming celebration events).
Monday, May 16, 2011
Las Vegas Bowling
McKinley's Class of '69 will be hosting a bowling event at the Sam's Town Casino on Friday, 11-11-11 (Must be some significance to those numbers) from 2:30 to 5:30 pm. All schools are invited to participate. They are scheduling individual as well as school team challenges that will include prizes, bragging rights, and definitely lots of fun.
Cost will be $15 for three games. More information to follow.
(This early announcement is for those of you who want to "practice.")
Note: Check out the yearbooks to see which school had the powerhouse bowlers!
Can't bowl? Don't worry. The format will be either an 8-pin or 9-pin tap game, meaning that an 8 or 9 will count as a strike. We should see some 300 (perfect) games that day as the Falcons soar in victory!

We interrupt our ongoing Galaxy Note 7 coverage with an important message for restless supporters of a different smartphone platform. The world's third most popular mobile operating system is still (barely) alive and kicking, with its first so-called "feature update" ready to head out to the masses shortly after the desktop iteration.
Granted, the hope (and promise) was Windows 10-powered PCs, tablets, Xbox Ones and phones could get the Anniversary Update simultaneously, starting yesterday, August 2. But a week isn't such an excruciatingly long time to wait for owners of select Lumia devices, as well as a few Acers, BLUs, an Alcatel and so on.
While not exactly etched in stone, the August 9 deployment date has been confirmed by at least one official regional branch of Microsoft's mobile division, in India on Twitter. A much vaguer "in the coming weeks" ETA was initially mentioned on the global Windows blog when announcing the beginning of the desktop festivities, so it's probably wise to remain patient until the end of the month.
Even if the Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary Update kicks off its rollout next Tuesday, it may only hit a limited number of phones at first in just a handful of countries, with subsequent waves gradually spreading the love to everyone everywhere.

Mercury was the innermost and smallest planet in the Sol system, orbiting the Sun.
Mercury was similar in appearance to the Moon: it was heavily cratered with regions of smooth plains, had no natural satellites and no substantial atmosphere.
Recorded observations of Mercury date back to at least the first millennium BC. Before the 4th century BC, Greek astronomers believed the planet to be two separate objects: one visible only at sunrise, which they called Apollo; the other visible only at sunset, which they called Hermes.
The English name for the planet comes from the Romans, who named it after the Roman god of trade and commerce, Mercury.

Tips To Remember While Buying Custom Save The Date Magnets
With the surging popularity of elaborate themed weddings and destination weddings, Save the date magnets have become as important as the wedding invitations itself for most couples. Here are a few smart tips to choose these custom magnets that will make the wedding event truly special for any couple.
Save the date magnets that are sent out much before the actual invitations will help your guests to make their travel arrangements and hotel booking well in advance and to plan their schedule accordingly. These adorable magnets that can be imprinted with the snapshots of couple, initials or names will be retained by guests as wedding souvenirs for a fairly long time.
Make sure that the magnet has a strong base
Let's be open about it. Everyone will use their refrigerator magnets as a hold up for their shopping lists and reminders. So, make sure that the magnets have a strong base that will hold papers easily and will make it stick on to the metallic surface.
Large quantities will have the best rates
Bulk orders will carry the best rates and if you are planning a big fat wedding, it will be a great option. But for a small and intimate wedding, you may have to shell out more.
Pick the right shape and size
Make sure that the save the date magnets that you choose have ample space for your message and artwork. Choosing a standard sized magnet will be the best way to go about it. If you have a picture that is bigger than the standard size, then you can settle for custom sized magnets, which might however involve a longer making period.
Save-the-date magnets are budget friendly and fun. Customize it by adding the appropriate information to make it a long lasting wedding souvenir that your guests will cherish for a very long time.

Ever made a beautiful, arty looking, dessert within 45 minutes which consists of more than 6 complex elements, of which two contain gelatin (thus require time to set)? I for sure didn't, but the contestants on my favorite (and one of the only tv shows I watch) tv show did. I'm talking about Masterchef Australia, of course.
In one of the last episodes of season 8 three contestants made this beautiful looking mandarin dessert using pannacotta, chocolate ganache, a crumb and several more brilliant elements. The complete thing looked too complex for me, being just a science chef, not a professional chef. But the flavours just seemed to be great! So I decided to make three out of six elements, which already made for a great dessert.
Since we just discussed gelatin science in a previous post, this is a great example of applying gelatin as well!
The Masterchef Recipe
The recipe the contestants made during the show is fascinating, it has all these different flavours and textures and I wish I could have tasted it. I only made three of the elements of the original recipe and it already tasted so good. The flavours "just work really well together" (one of my favourite quotes from the show).
Using gelatin in a short time span
One of the challenges during such a show is of course the limited time span, especially when you want to freeze things or let things set. Most recipes using gelatin call for at least, if not more, one hour of setting time in the fridge. In such a tv show that can be sped up a little by using a freezer or even a blast freezer. A blast freezer can cool down and freeze foods a lot faster than a normal freezer would.
Gelatin sets because of its long protein chains that entangle one another. They will entangle and roll up slightly when they are cooled down. By cooling down a gelatin dessert very fast, the structure will be slightly different than when it's cooled down slowly. However, the difference is small enough to still make a good product.
Panna cotta
A panna cotta as used in this recipe from the show is a very common dessert. It's a wobbly soft product. In its simplest form it's a mixture of milk and cream with some sugar and flavouring (e.g. vanilla) that's set using gelatin.
What's most important for these types of recipes is to get the gelatin content just right. Too much gelatin and there will be so much entanglement of the proteins that the panna cotta becomes very firm. Not enough gelatin on the other hand might result in a collapsing pannacotta because of insufficient entanglement of the proteins.
A panna cotta with sides recipe
Enough discussion of the recipe. If you want to read more about gelatin and how it works, check out the post dedicated to gelatin.
Mandarin panna cotta
Panna cotta
- 110 ml cream
- 50 ml milk
- 25g sugar
- 1 mandarin (the zest and the juice)
- 1,5 sheet of gelatin (I used the regular gelatin from the Dutch supermarket, check how strong your gelatin is and for how much ml of liquid it should be used.)
Spice mix
- 5 anise stars
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 5 cloves
Chocolate ganache
- 50g dark chocolate (I use >70% dark)
- 60g cream
- 25g butter
- 50g of almond meal (or almonds chopped up finely in a food processor)
- 25g sugar (I used cane sugar)
- 2 tsp flour
- 2 tsp spice mix
- 1/8 tsp salt
Panna cotta
- Take the gelatin and soak it in cold water (or follow the instructions on the package).
- Bring the cream, milk, sugar and mandarin juice + zest to the boil in a pan. Take it from the fire once it's boiling.
- Add the gelatin. The gelatin will simply dissolve in the mixture. The mix will not thicken or change in appearance.
- Leave to cool for a while before pouring into silicone moulds (easiest to use and get out). Leave to set in the fridge for at least one hour. You can take them out before, however, they will be super soft and you might not be able to get them out properly.
Spice mix
- Heat the spices in a frying pan until you start smelling them well.
- Blitz to a powder in a spice grinder/food processor, whichever method you have available.
Chocolate ganache
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave at a medium heat (I use 600W) with 30s intervals. Stir in between to prevent burning. Once melted, add the cream.
- Mix it through. Initially it will start creating brown strands in the cream after some mixing it will thicken up.
- Preheat an oven at 180C.
- Mix the butter, almond meal, sugar, flour, spice mix and salt together by hand to create a crumbly structure.
- Spread out on a baking tray and bake in the oven until golden brown (approx. 20-30 minutes).
- Serve everything together, it's the combination of flavours that makes this so good!
- If you or your fellow eaters are a fan of a particular element feel free to make a little more of that one. I for instance loved the crumb & ganache, so there's a little more of those than the panna cotta. Find your perfect ratio.
If you gave it a try, let me know!

Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything is a non-fiction masterpiece written by the economist from University of Chicago Steven Levitt and New York Times journalist Stephen J. Dubner. Despite certain factual controversies, the book remains one of the most relevant phenomena in our times that combined the worlds of pop culture and economics. It has sold over 5 million copies worldwide and happens to be one of the most important critiques of society.
The book basically employs statistics and other economic and mathematical tools to explain a lot of social and business phenomena. The book is a collection of articles that apply such economic theories to a diverse range of events and attempts to offer explanations for a lot of bizarre events and processes that are not covered by traditional economists. According to them, the study of economics is primarily a field of studying incentives. There are a total of 6 chapters that cover topics like:
The book consists of 6 chapters where various social issues are analyzed through the lenses of economics. The first chapter primarily focuses on the effect incentives have on human behavior. The book argues that humans make key decisions based on incentives. These incentives are categorized into three classes- economic incentives, social incentives, and moral incentives. Moral incentive refers to the feeling of satisfaction, or any benefit attained from "doing the right thing," social incentives are those decisions that lead to receiving praises from society and peers.
One of the most effective ways of understanding incentives is to take a look at how cheating happens in various fields. Take for example the annual standardized tests which all the public schools in Chicago conduct. One of the few things that such tests dictate are the classes certain students can take and the promotion of teachers. There is thus an obvious incentive for teachers to engage in teaching during such tests. It was noted in Chicago that during certain years, 5% of the teachers did engage in cheating during such standardized tests.
Another example is the world of sumo wrestling. In order to maintain good standing in tournaments, sumo wrestlers need to win at least 8 matches. Tournaments in sumo wrestling go on for 15 rounds. Studies and observation indicate that sumo wrestlers with a score of 7-7 defeat wrestlers with a score of 8-6 quite often. This is probably due to wrestlers with an 8-6 record accepting a bribe for throwing the match away. Another example of cheating covered in the first chapter recounts the story of a man named Paul Feldman. Feldman makes a comfortable by giving bagels to office employees. He charges a dollar for every bagel which he asks to be left behind. This honor system works every time, and most employees pay the dollar instead of cheating Feldman.
In the second chapter, the effect of incentives is explained through the accumulation of asymmetric information as done by real estate agents and members of Klu Klux Klan. The Klansmen had a lot of private information such as passwords, secret handshakes and code words. The same is true for real estate agents who communicate with each using their set of code words to pass on property related information. One might think that the real incentive of real estate agents is to sell a property at the highest price possible. But in reality, their main incentive is to sell as fast as possible. This leads to them selling houses at cheaper prices sometimes just to keep things moving. Other examples of asymmetric information include people hiding or altering some of their personal details during jobs or dates.
The third chapter deals with the crack epidemic in America. It draws a similarity between drug gangs selling crack cocaine and the McDonald's franchise. The incentive structure was similar to both when the distribution was considered. The fifth chapter deals with whole nature vs. nurture argument while taking a look at the education of school children. It has been revealed through several studies that a high school that one attends has no real effect on the academic success of the student. It shows that actions such as taking a child to the museum or reading to them every night have little effect on their academics. Rather parental qualities such as their level of education and their age of having children among others play a more significant role in the success. Such data leans heavily towards the nature argument rather than nurture.
The final chapter is about the effect a child's name has on their development. It was noted that names with certain stereotypes faced biases in society. For example, the name "DeShawn William" is likely to get a job as it is a predominantly African American name. The statistical analysis of naming trends in children reveals some interesting insights. IT shows that names often trickle down the social classes.
Certain aspects of the book have been questioned, and fallacies in analysis pointed out by other experts. Such fallacies have mostly been corrected in the revised editions of the book. For example, the fall of crime is not solely due to the legalization of abortion. There were certain technical issues pointed out as well which were accepted by the author and later corrected.

5 Best Ways to Save for Retirement
I stumbled across this video today and thought I would share it with my readers. It goes over the basic ways to save for retirement. I know a lot of people haven't even begun to save so for you, this is a real good source of information. If you have been saving for years and pretty much know what you are doing, you may want to skip this post.
post continues after video
I'll outline what the video went over that way my rss readers and those who just don't want to re-watch it can still get the info.
1) Start Early : Maybe this should be changed to 'Start Now'. The best thing you can do to get ahead for retirement is to start early. Even if all you can save is $20 bucks a week, in the long run it will add up very quickly.
Example: If you did save $20 per week, starting when you are 18 and kept doing that until retirement at 65, you would have $271,429 by retirement assuming a 9% return on investment. That's probably not enough to retire off of, but it is a great start and hopefully you would be able to contribute more than $20 once you are older and making more money.
2) Capture the match: Most companies will match part of your contributions. The idea is to contribute enough to get the full matching benefit of your company. Otherwise you would be throwing away free money. They are willing to give you money if you save for retirement, why wouldn't you want to do that?
3) The 15% solution: This "solution" is the so called rule of thumb for retirement. Generally speaking, if you save 15% of your annual income a year, you should have enough to live off of comfortably. This 15% includes any money that your company matches for your 401k. Remember you get a tax break as well for contributing to your 401k so its not nearly as much of your money as you might think.
4) Diversify with a Roth IRA: The great thing about Roth IRAs is that when you take money out of them come retirement time, you pay no taxes on withdrawls. This can be used to help manipulate your retirement income during retirement to help keep your taxes low. You should only contribute to this after you have gotten your full company 401k match.
5) Play catch up: This is for my readers in their 50s. You are allowed to contribute and extra $5,000 to your 401k and an additional $1,000 to your IRA. Try to take advantage of this if you can, especially if you didn't start early like you probably should have.

Great post – I especially liked the examples – I think we can all use a little reminder sometimes of how so little can add up over the course of a working career.
You are right. The first step is the most important. Start early, time is something that you will never get back. The sooner you start to save the more you will have saved at the end.
Many of us should be ramping up our efforts to save for retirement. But not all methods of saving money are worth the cost. Here are five retirement saving strategies that could actually leave you worse off in retirement.

Haqqani network a terrorist group: USSeptember 8th, 2012 - 12:14 am ICT by IANS
Washington, Sep 7 (IANS) US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has formally designated the Pakistan-based Haqqani network, a Taliban-affiliated militant group held responsible for the 2008 Indian embassy bombing in Kabul, as a terrorist organisation.
In a statement Friday, Clinton said she had reported to Congress that the group, which is believed to have been responsible for several other high-profile attacks and kidnappings, "meets the statutory criteria… for designation as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation".
Top leaders of the organisation had already been designated terrorists by the State and Treasury departments, but this is the first time the entire group has been recognised as such.
"The consequences of these designations include a prohibition against knowingly providing material support or resources to, or engaging in other transactions with, the Haqqani Network, and the freezing of all property and interests in property of the organisation that are in the United States, or come within the United States, or the control of US persons," Clinton said.
Clinton said she made the decision "in the context of our overall strategy in Afghanistan".
Her decision comes at the tail end of a 30-day deadline for the designation that was pushed by Congress.
The Haqqanis have been accused of launching deadly cross-border attacks in Afghanistan on US soldiers and Afghan civilians, including the suicide bombings at Kabul's Intercontinental Hotel last June.
Clinton's announcement followed a report earlier Friday from The New York Times in which a senior administration official said the move "shows that we are using everything we can to put the squeeze on these guys".
Administration officials were reportedly hesitant to officially call the network a terror organisation because it could hurt America's already icy relationship with Pakistan.
The Haqqani network is believed to have close ties to the Pakistani government and its powerful ISI intelligence agency.

I have posted on another page data on the Elusive member of the family. Since Randy suggested we post who we
are really hunting for. Thought this might be the way to go and see if any one with these names has
any other information to share.
I with the land record which Mary and I read and was in her cousins hands in 1978 could be found since Clearfield Co says the no longer have any records.
It is a real shame how so called genealogists have ripped off repositories and court houses and left others out in the cold.
Now with the libraries in the financial bind I worry how much more will go wasted before rescued.
Suggestions are welcome and please support the Libraries of all our states and the L of C.

Elvin Jones' Signed Yamaha "75th Birthday" Snare
On September 9th, 2002, The Yamaha drum company held a party in New York city to celebrate Elvin Jone's 75th birthday and to commemorate his musical accomplishments. The party was attended by scores of the biggest names in the music business. Yamaha made a very small number of these 10×5″ maple shell snare drums in Elvin's signature Champagne sparkle lacquer finish for a few of his most honored guests. These drums were never available to the public. Elvin saved this particular drum for his personal collection. The drum is signed by Elvin on the inside of the shell. This is one of extremely few items in the Elvin Jones collection that are signed. Includes the original Yamaha shipping box addressed to MR. ELVIN JONES.

Whatsapp groups can be great. But they can also spam the hell out of your phone notifications, to the point you never want to see that little green icon ever again.
But the tech wizards behind Whatsapp have finally listened to our prayers and introduced a new feature that can stop people adding you to random groups without your prior consent. Gone will be the days you're entered into threads that never seem to end, or superstitious chain message group chats by your naïve mother. Praise be.
The new feature doesn't apply automatically, you have to set it up, but once you update the app it's fairly simple. Here's how it's done:
- Open Whatsapp
- Go into Settings in the app
- Click on Account
- Then Privacy
- Then Groups
- Select one of three options: "Nobody," "My Contacts," or "Everyone." "Nobody" means you'll have to approve joining every group to which you're invited, "Everyone" means you won't have to approve any groups you're added to, and "My Contacts" means only users you have in your address book can add you to groups without prior consent.
If you choose to heighten your security, opting to approve certain groups before you're added to them, you will be sent a private invite from the person via your personal chat, and you'll then have three days to accept entry into the group chat.
Welcome to your new, less group-chat-notification-cluttered life. Heaven.
