If the local experts at Catholic Education Services – Cairns Diocese could give one piece of advice to parents it would be this: give your children the gift of time by reading with them at home.
At any age and skill level. Read. Read. And read to them some more.
The Cairns Diocese team is promoting the benefits of literacy and its equally important educational 'cousin' numeracy in a new video series. In particular, the videos highlight the key role parents play in their child's learning.
Featuring tips and insights from Numeracy and Literacy Coaches Michelle King and Gloria West, the videos are a practical guide to help parents regardless of their child's age and reading level.
"Let's face it, kids won't remember the tablet or the toy you bought them for Christmas when they were younger," Ms King said. "But they will remember the precious time you spent with them cuddled up together reading a book."

Michelle King
"One of the greatest gifts a parent can give to their child is the gift of time. Time spent cuddled up on the couch sharing a book talking about the characters, looking at the fun moments and the sad moments, really enjoying a book together. This creates a special bond with your child. Reading aloud to children helps them learn things like the direction of print, left to right and top to bottom, how groups of letters form words and words form sentences, and how pictures provide information. But most importantly how reading provides meaning."
Gloria West
"Reading should be fun. Help your child to choose books they really enjoy reading. We want to make life-long readers out of children. Talk about characters from books that you enjoyed reading. Remember though it's not a test. We want children to enjoy reading. So, don't worry if your child has a favourite book they want you to read over and over again. This is actually a really good thing because it helps them to build fluency and embeds vocabulary."

The Halo 3: ODST ViDoc: Road to Recon is a Halo 3: ODST ViDoc that focuses on the Mythic maps, and tips and directions for those who still are working on the Vidmaster Challenges.
The words, Halo 3: ODST appear, and then are replaced by ViDoc: Road to Recon.
The Halo 3 Mythic screen appears.
0:11 - Lars Bakken: "Hey everybody, ah, I'm Lars Bakken, senior designer at Bungie. I've got with us Eric Osborne, community dude; Chad Armstrong, another designer, and Dan Miller, designer."
0:22 - Chad Armstrong: "We're here to talk about the Road to Recon."
0:24 - Lars: "So there are seven achievements total. They're all Vidmaster-titled."
0:29 - Chad: "Getting all seven achievements, you'll be able to finally unlock Recon and, uh, leave me the hell alone."
The background changes, saying "Lightswitch," with the achievement details on the bottom.
0:35 - Chad: "Alright, so let's get started, and we'll start with Lightswitch. This is definitely my territory."
Background goes to the Matchmaking screen.
0:41 - Chad: "Uh, Lightswitch is pretty straightforward, you have to get, uh, Lieutenant rank in any playlist in Halo 3 matchmaking."
Screen shows a Matchmaking game.
0:47 - Lars: "How much, uh, EXP is that, Chad?"
0:49 - Chad: "50 EXP, which means basically 50 victories, which means it's a matter of time and takes a couple of hours, at the most."
0:55 - Lars: "Even if you're terrible, you will get this achievement."
0:58 - Chad: "Yes."
0:58 - Lars: "You just have to put the time into it."
Screen shows the player getting the Spartan Officer Achievement.
0:59 - Chad:"Definitely low-hanging fruit. As you get that little message right there. Ba-deep!" 1:04 - Lars: "Next one, Annual."
Screen shows the word Annual, along with the achievement's description.
1:05 - Lars: "Dan, you should kinda give us the lowdown on that."
1:07 - Dan: "Yes."
1:08 - Lars: "This is your baby."
1:09 - Dan: "So Annual, so how you get it, you fire up a Legendary game, four player co-op on Xbox LIVE, Iron Skull. Yes, and play through the game, please play through the level all the way to where you fight Guilty Spark."
Lars, Dan, and Chad mutter "Spoilers" and laugh before continuing.
1:29 - Dan: "Well if you don't know that... Once you fight Guilty Spark, come back out and at the left, underneath the stairwell is four Ghosts. Make sure you get all four Ghosts, and kinda drive it on up. Be very careful getting it..."
1:44 - Lars: "Yeah, actually the first part is really hard."
1:46 - Dan:Yeah the hardest part, hardest part is to get actually past this little area there. Uh, you drive it all the way up to the trench run..."
1:52 - Chad: "And then straight clear to the end, right?"
1:54 Dan: "And straight through to the end! Now keep in mind you're Iron, so you need be, you need to play pretty, uh, so play like a team-"
2:00 - Lars: "Yeah, if any one of the four guys dies, you will go back to the last checkpoint. So it could take you a while to get through this. I guess people are running this from what, 45 minutes to an hour and a half?"
2:10 - Chad: "Yeah, something like that. I gotta say though, this is my favorite achievement. It's a cool one - so awesome."
2:15 - Dan: "Did you see that Ghost in the cinematic?"
2:17 Chad: "Yeah, yeah. Yeah we're awesome like that." {laughs}
Screen says 7 on 7th, with the achievement description on the bottom.
2:19 - Lars: "So 7 on 7. This is another one we released with the DLC update for Halo 3."
2:24 - Chad: "7 on the 7th, this is another one of mine. Uh, another matchmaking achievement. Uh, basically, on the seventh day of any month, you have to get seven EXP, a total of seven EXP in any playlist. That's not the same as going into a playlist you've been in before to get seven more EXP; you have to have a grand total of seven EXP in that playlist. To make that a bit easier, once a month, we have put a playlist up called 7 on the 7th."
2:48 - Lars: "It's the sixth on some months."
2:50 - Chad: "Yeah, it depends what time-zone you're in."
2:52 - Lars: "No, it's the seventh every month."
The achievement comes on.
2:54 - Lars: "Boom. Beautiful."
The screen now says Brainpan, with the description below.
2:55 - Chad: "Brainpan!"
2:56 - Lars: "So Brainpan, sweet. This is another one we, uh, gave out with DLC."
Longshore appears, along with a picture of a skull with a number one (1) on it
3:01 - Chad: "One skull is hidden on every map."
Camera moves to the location of the Longshore skull
3:03 - Lars: "There is one skull hidden on every map, that is correct."
3:05 - Dan: "You just have to go in Forge, make sure you're in Forge 'cause they won't show up in regular games."
3:07 - Lars: "Yup, you have to be in Forge."
3:08 - Chad: "Correct."
3:10 - Dan: "Skull two is in a really cool spot."
3:13 - Chad: "Yeah, this one's pretty good, this one actually took me a while to find. I also like that we never each other where we hide things."
3:21 - Lars: "Well that's supremely important. Like, I think Dan and I were the only ones, or maybe I was the only one whe knew where all of them were. They - the testers knew obviously, but..."
3:30 - Chad: "This one's pretty good too."
3:22 - Lars: "We try to keep that stuff close, close to our chests so, we don't want it to leak, we want the fans to find these things."
3:38 - Chad: "This one's just mean."
3:39 - Lars:"It is mean, I placed it there on purpose to make, uh Shishka angry."
3:42 - Chad: "And it worked."
3:43 - Lars: "Sweet."
3:44 - Chad: "I'm angry just lookin' at this."
3:45 - Lars: "Citadel was mine, so was Longshore."
3:47 - Chad: "Oh that's where Citadel's one was."
3:48 - Lars: "Yeah."
3:49 - Chad: "I, I don't care about anyone else's levels but my own."
3:51 - Lars: "Yeah of course, see that's, that's good Dan."
3:53 - Chad: "Speaking of; this one's up in the air vent."
3:54 - Lars: "Dean Miller spent a whole of twenty seconds working on this one."
3:59 - Chad: "Phoned this one in."
4:00 {'All laugh'}
4:02 - Chad: "True. So that one is on Midship in Halo 2."
4:04 - Lars: "I like this one the best actually, this one is awesome. This one makes up for it."
4:06 - Chad: "Okay, I take it back, this is the greatest... skull... ever."
4:10 - Lars: "And look at, look at what this guy did. Tube corner. What a-"
4:14 - Chad: "He's lame."
4:15 - Lars: "Well he's, you know what, it's not... it's ingenuity is what it is."
4:18 - Chad: "Kids, don't cheat like this. Make the tunnel out there and, and do it right. Right? Don't, don't cheat."
4:21 - Lars: "Yeah, spend three hours building a tunnel..."
"Yes, three hours, you know what?"
"What, what doesn't sound fun about building a tunnel and being shot by a laser?"
"If you don't wanna earn your Recon, go buy it online." {laughs}
"I will sell... Marty's."
"Classic, oh so this is cool. This one, we're up to ODST now."
"So this one hearkens back to the original Vidmasters Challenge, a creed that people would take uh, playing Marathon back in the day, which basically meant uh, that you would never fire a gun, never use ammo-"
"Could you honk the horn in that?"
"There were no horns."
"Right, so if you're in a vehicle, say the Warthog for example, do not uh honk the horn, because that actually counts as firing a weapon, which we know is funny and seems strange."
"A little bug!"
"Horns are dangerous."
"Yeah it's, it's a bug. But, as you can see in the video the guy's using the Ghost and he's uh, boosting through which is totally fine."
"Boosting, boosting is totally fine, kind of wussy, but totally fine."
"Yeah it's kind of a wuss way to get through, and get the achievement, but you know, points is points."
"Endure! So this one is pretty interesting. Um, this probably our hardest achievement, I would say of the Vidmasters?"
"Probably yeah, it certainly earns its name, I'd say. The goal here basically..."
"Get through the fourth set."
"Get through the fourth set. Get to set five."
"We should give a little back story because uh, originally Endure was on Legendary required..."
"It's Heroic now."
"And uh, get to set seven, or rather through set seven. Aaaand..."
"Yeah, as opposed to through set four."
"We, quickly realized that we had to bring it down a little bit, otherwise noone would ever be able to get Recon, and we wanted, you know what we wanted to give people Recon."
"Yeah, we do."
"I don't."
"I did."
"I'm just tired of the Live inbox messages."
"Deja Vu. This is another Dean Miller special."
"How this one works is the same setup where you have to have four-player, over Live, Legendary, and Iron skull."
"The last level of the game."
"The last level of the game, Highway, uh Coastal Highway. The last thing you need to do, is you need to not get in a vehicle. More specifically do not, you cannot get in a Scorpion or any type of Warthog, meaning Troop Hog, Gauss Hog, you can't use any of those, and you have to finish the level without..."
"But Dean, what does that leave me?"
"It leaves you the delicious secret area. If you do not get in any vehicle and you run all the way to the first lower level you'll find two Mongeese and four loaded rocket launchers. And these, when I say loaded..."
"They are loaded."
"A thousand rockets. Keep in mind you're still very vulnerable, you're playing Legendary still..."
"And, and Iron skull."
"And you're playing Iron.
"And Iron skull's on, so just like the Annual, if one of the players dies you will go back to your last checkpoint, so be careful. Um, this can probably take anywhere from forty-five minutes to almost two hours as well, depending how..."
"How slow you go."
"How slow you go, or how careful your team is."
"You know fortunately Coastal Highway is an easy, you know, just a walk in the park."
"Easy on Legendary." {laughs}
"At least Buck's not doing the shooting here, right?" {laughs}
"Oh, snap."
"Achievement unlocked."
"That seemed, that seemed pretty easy."
"And that's it right? That's all seven of them. You go to Bungie.net, make sure you've got a profile linked to your gamertag. Go into your service record."
"It's a huge button."
"You push the button and..."
"It'll unlock for ya."
"And then please leave my Xbox Live inbox alone. Please."
"There's your Vidmaster Challenge walkthrough."
"Road to Recon!"
"Please send all your feelings about Recon to erkthered... {hums nonsensically}

Tags: volunteering, csr, employee volunteerism
Volunteering on behalf of good causes has a long and honorable history: people committing their time and energy on something that is important and relevant to them and their communities. What began as an individual and community impulse eventually spread to the corporate world, where volunteerism has been rightly seen as a win-win-win. It's a win for the cause being supported, for obvious reasons. It's a win for the employee, allowing them the opportunity to "give back." And it's a win for the employer because it helps the enterprise meet its corporate social responsibility goals (the company's strategy for giving back).
But corporate volunteerism is even better than a "win-win-win" endeavor. Corporate volunteerism – done right – can enhance employee engagement and help create a compelling corporate culture that will make recruiting and retention more effective.
Numerous studies have demonstrated just how critical it is for companies to pay more than just lip service to corporate social responsibility. The members of Generation Y – "millennials" – are leading this charge. A recent Deloitte survey on millennials found an astounding 85 percent of respondents believe that business success should be measured in terms of more than just financial performance.[1] And millennials, along with workers with years of experience, want to do more than participate in worthy but infrequent events like cleaning up local parks – they want to use their intelligence and skills to make a difference on an ongoing basis.
They are, in effect, demanding the opportunity to give back in more lasting, more strategic way, and they are demanding corporate support for doing so.
What does corporate volunteerism "done right" look like?
First, be strategic about your volunteering efforts. Look for causes that mesh with your enterprise's expertise and mission. A software company can help schools or nonprofits go digital – or help introduce students to STEM skills. A corporate training enterprise might put its skills to work with underserved populations with instruction that meets their needs. A temporary staffing firm could help entry-level workers learn about job opportunities and how to find them. Your employees want the chance to use their professional skills in nonprofit situations. Help them!
This does not mean that "boots on the ground" opportunities should be avoided. Communities still need parks and playgrounds cleaned up; soup kitchens still need food prepared and served. If there's a demand for these effort in your community (and there will be), facilitate your employees' ability to help.
The most successful volunteerism programs today are highly customized to their individual workforces, matching employee wants and realities with the opportunities that fit the company's strategic CSR vision. If this means a day off regularly, make it happen. If it means using technology to fit volunteerism into a busy work day, make it happen.
Second, measurement is critical. The old management truism – "if you can measure it, you can manage it" – also applies to most forms of volunteerism: If you want to have an impact, you have to measure your efforts in pursuit of impact.
One of the most impressive contributions of contemporary philanthropy is the notion of measuring SROI (social return on investment) – what do you achieve for your philanthropic investment? You should measure things like total hours volunteered (good for your CSR reporting, good for internal communications), but you should also measure progress in whatever term makes sense: from "lives touched" or "classrooms served." Measurement is not solely for purposes of your CSR report; it's a tangible reminder to your employees that volunteering and philanthropy are integral to your enterprise.
Which brings me to my third suggestion: make social responsibility an integral part of corporate culture. To my way of thinking, an enterprise with a true sense of the value and importance of CSR is one where everyone employed understands their company's commitment to socially responsibility, acknowledges its value, and participates to whatever degree they can. This inevitably leads to improved engagement.
This means that the most senior leaders have to talk about CSR and commit their own time to volunteering and related activities. Lead by example, and lead by acknowledging publicly, and often, the importance of the CSR effort.
Fourth, be innovative at making CSR work for your employees. Work often seems nonstop for people in the era of email and smartphones, and making time or finding time to volunteer may be harder than ever. But on the other hand, technology and human ingenuity makes people more flexible than probably at any time in history. If your people can't go to a school to tutor children, use Skype – or bring school kids into the office. Be creative!
And finally, constantly communicate and motivate: I mentioned earlier the importance of leadership's example when it comes to volunteerism and corporate social responsibility. This may be the toughest challenge for any CSR effort, but it is also the most powerful. As people say, you have to walk the walk and talk the talk. What you do becomes the norm, and people will welcome the chance to volunteer if you make it clear it is valued.
If there's a current feature of today's corporate landscape, it's the necessity for continuous, ongoing evolution – and that's as true for corporate social responsibility as it is for corporate strategy. Volunteerism is evolving from a "nice thing to do for the community" into an important measure of social responsibility as well as a key tool for employee recruitment, engagement, and retention. That's why now is the time to reinvent your employee volunteering program. A reengineered program might enable you to deliver more good – and that's good (undeniably so). But what I'm talking about is a reworked program that will also enable you to deliver more good for your workforce: make them more engaged, more committed, and more connected to your enterprise and their communities.

That old adage about golf and business might make more sense than you think.
"The proper score for a businessman golfer is 90. If he is better than that he is neglecting his business. If he's worse, he's neglecting his golf," goes the conventional wisdom.
A study that examined the golf schedules and business prowess of 385 CFOs found that the more a CFO hits the links, the less competent he or she tends to be in the board room. CFOs with busy golfing schedules were more likely to make errors and less likely to present earnings conference calls with high quality information.
The study, completed over four years by a team at the Miami University of Ohio and the University of Alabama, is also interesting for the golfing data it collected about its subjects.

CFOs played an average of 20 rounds a year, with one standout participant logging 148 rounds in just 12 months. Given the results of the study, it's impressive that he managed to keep his job after spending the rough equivalent of nearly five months of work on the golf course.

Cases against public entities can be very complicated. The laws are written in such a way as to discourage people with legitimate reasons from successfully resolving their claims. Public entity accidents are cases you need to act quickly and correctly. If not, the injured party can lose the rights to pursue a claim altogether. While the information below is to help you understand the issue better, the best thing to do is to have a reputable public entity accident attorney evaluate your accident as soon as possible.
Cases involving a public entity are very complex and are subject to many rules and regulations. These rules favor the negligent party, and harm you, the injured party. Every day we take calls from people who have been injured by a public entity, but we are no longer able to pursue their claim due to the brief "statute of limitations" on these types of cases. We urge you to consult with a skilled personal injury lawyer specialized in public entity claims as soon as possible.
What Exactly Is a Public Entity?
A Public entity is any federal, state, or local government entity. The term is broadly defined and includes government corporations, agencies, authorities, and judicial officers. Public entity cases are personal injury claims in which you have been injured by the negligence of these entities.
If you are injured on local or federal government property, or by a government entity, or even a public employee acting within the scope of employment, you may file a claim against that entity. Common cases in San Francisco involve injuries acquired due to poorly maintained roads, slip or falls on government-owned property or auto accidents with city vehicles.
Why You Should Hire an Attorney?
Civil lawsuits operate differently when you are dealing with a public entity rather than a private entity. There are a number of things that make lawsuits in this category difficult to pursue, including immunities, the statute of limitations, restrictions on legal theories, and specific procedural and pleading rules. The most important of these is the statute, a deadline by which you have to file your San Francisco personal injury claim.
Statute of Limitations
Claims involving causes of action for death, injury to person, injury to personal property, and injury to growing crops must be filed within 6 months after a cause of action accrues.
This means that personal injury claims involving a public entity are extremely time-sensitive. However, there are no shortcuts. All procedures are to follow the book like any other personal injury cases, but there is far less time to do so. Our team at Bergener Mirejovsky has a proven track record of success and our accident attorneys are here to give you the freedom to breathe and the knowledge that your claim will need to be handled properly.
Call 1-800-881-2021 now for a free strategy session that will get your case on the right track. We're available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Two kittens were found by a school, looking for their mom, but she never came back.
A woman heard their plea and couldn't leave them there.

A Brooklyn resident had spotted a litter of four kittens and their cat mom near a local school. Later that day, she was surprised to find two of the kittens outside all by themselves, meowing nonstop.
Somehow, they had been left behind. Hoping the cat mother would return, she waited for several hours but to no avail. The weather was freezing – too cold for such young kittens to survive on their own. She decided it was time to intervene.
She managed to catch the kittens and brought them in to Animal Care Centers of New York City. The kitties were just four weeks old. Jess Thoren, a volunteer of the shelter, immediately offered to foster them.

The feline siblings quickly warmed up to their foster parents after the ordeal. They were so happy and grateful to be warm and have someone to cuddle.
The sister was named Winnie (short for Winter) and the brother Chill. "Winnie hopped right out of the box. Chill was a little more reserved and shy," Jess told Love Meow.
Since the day they were rescued, the two have been inseparable and share an adorable bond.
Jess Thoren @kittenbnb
"They cuddle and play with each other nonstop. I always find them sleeping in the bed curled up next to each other," Jess told Love Meow.
Winnie is a little mischief-maker. When her brother is sound asleep, she will try to get him to play. "She will annoy him nonstop, nibbling his ears, bunny kicking him until he wakes up and plays with her."
Jess Thoren @kittenbnb
"Winnie would meow all the time for attention and Chill would just be so chill, hanging out in his playpen."
They sleep in their foster room at night, which is filled with toys and a big, comfy bed. As soon as Winnie hears her foster parents in the morning, she will meow loudly and get her brother to join in their morning demand for attention and breakfast.

Chill is very sweet and a bit clumsy. "He struggles to jump on the couch or bed. He then whines until my husband or I pick him up."
The kitties are never far from each other. If Winnie is napping on someone's chest, Chill is next to her or sleeping nearby on a lap.
Jess Thoren @kittenbnb
Despite looking everywhere for the cat mom and her other kittens, there has been no sign of them.
"Winnie and Chill are safe, warm and will never go hungry again," Jess said.
Jess Thoren @kittenbnb
The brother and sister are being adopted together and will be going to their forever home this weekend.
From the cold streets of Brooklyn to this cozy couch – Winnie and Chill are loving their new, comfortable indoor life.

Some short pieces for you this time, all of which were encountered on a recent customer engagement.
This customer was migrating from a Europe-hosted tenant to a UK-hosted tenant; since they did not have many users in the cloud, we were able to off-board the mailboxes before removing the Organisation Relationship and creating a new one by re-running the Hybrid Configuration Wizard.
Azure AD Connect – Delete Threshold
To clear down the old tenant, we removed all the user objects from the Synchronisation scope. Azure AD Connect is designed to prevent accidental deletions and caps this at a maximum of 500 deleted objects. Needless to say, a massive change in the scope exceeded this cap.
When making such large changes to the synchronisation scope, we can disable the cap using Disable-AdSyncExportDeletionThreshold. If we were going to use the same tenant in the future, we need to remember to Enable-AdSyncExportDeletionThreshold after we're done.
Azure AD Connect – Attribute Length
When we began synchronising the user accounts to the new tenant, we received gen-sync-errors on about half a dozen users. This customer uses the custom Attributes for tracking data and these users had a bit too much data on there.
Azure AD Connect will only synchronise 448 characters from those custom Attributes; easily resolved by excluding that specific attribute from the Synchronisation scope but something to be aware of.
Restore-MsolUser – Resolving Proxy Address Conflicts
In disengaging the old tenant, all the previously synced accounts are transferred to the Azure AD Recycle Bin. Once we removed the Azure AD Connect server from the tenant, the customer discovered that they needed to reinstate one of the accounts as a cloud-only account. Since it still had a proxy address from a domain that had been removed from the tenant, the normal Restore-MsolUser wasn't working.
It was only after a little bit of research that we discovered the way to fix this:
Restore-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName <OldUPN> -NewPrincipalName <NewUPN> -AutoResolveProxyConflicts
Result! One restored cloud-only account with the correct UPN and no proxy addresses.

TNT, 8 July-5 August 2012
The 2nd Mass. continue the trek to hoped-for sanctuary in Charleston, yet are infiltrated twice by agents of the aliens…
Mid-way through the second season and Falling Skies has marginally improved, but from such a low base that it still has a long way to go before it becomes anything close to required viewing.
It is in the writing that this show really lets itself down. The characters around Noah Wyle's Tom Mason are utterly inconsistent, seemingly chopping and changing from episode to episode to suit the theme of that particular instalment. Only Mason and Captain Weaver—the usually reliable Will Patton—seem written with any attention to their core characteristics. Worst offender is Sarah Carter's Maggie who has done a complete 180-degree switch in her attitude to Hal Mason. In any other show this might be 'character development', but in Falling Skies it happens mere minutes after she's actively rejected Hal.
The Mason children are shown to be utterly gullible as they are duped by a series of women: Ben by Karen, Hal by Maggie, and even little Matt by a harnessed girl picked up en route. At least Ben's involvement reveals the existence of a rebel group (led by a red-eyed skitter) within the aliens and the possibility of a growing civil war. The capturing of an alien overlord in 'Molon Labe' is a great development, unfortunately squandered as Ben fails to reveal whatever knowledge he gained from 'mind-melding' with it.
Finally, 'Death March' seems to throw away a great cliffhanger moment in the arrival at a devastated Charleston about two-thirds of the way in. That's a tip-off that all is not as it seems, and the arrival of Dale Dye's military group to save the day comes as little surprise. Otherwise, this is a standard 'getting to know characters through a journey' trope, but the stories each character tells are so banal, they have little impact.
Verdict: Falling Skies limps along, disappointing as ever…
Episode 5 Love and Other Acts of Courage 6/10
Episode 6 Homecoming 6/10
Episode 7 Molon Labe 7/10
Episode 8 Death March 6/10

Catholic Dictionary
Technically the philosophy of naturalism advocated since the nineteenth century, first in England and then elsewhere. It is a closed system that affirms that human existence and destiny are fully explainable in terms of this world without reference to eternity. On its social side, secularism promotes the advancement of humanity's lot in this life, and charges Christianity with indifference to poverty and suffering because of its alleged preoccupation with God and the life to come.

Apple Watch: Check-in After a week
I've had the watch a little over a week now. Saturday, I ran into the first relatively major glitch. I got my watch while I was cutting the grass and finished cutting it wearing the watch, but using my iPhone for music. This past Saturday was the first time I cut the grass since I got the watch. I had loaded music onto the watch, I paired my Plantronics Bluetooth headphones to the watch and started cutting the grass without my iPhone for the first time in years.
Apple Watch Doesn't NEED GPS: Use 1960's Technology Instead
On July 9, 1985, I boarded a plane at Dayton Airport and few to San Antonio, Texas where I entered Air Force Basic (it's hard not to type that as BASIC) training at Lackland Air Force Base. I spent 6 weeks there and then 30+ weeks at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi. I had taken the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery and scored well enough to choose whatever field the base (I was joining the Ohio Air National Guard, so unlike regular Air Force enlistees, I knew where I was going to end up after I finished tech school) had an opening for. I decided to become an Inertial and RADAR Navigation Specialist. I would be maintaining and repairing navigation systems on LTV A-7 Corsair II Fighter jets. This jet first flew 2 years before I was born and the dates on the tails of the ones at our based ranged from 1968 to 1972. They weren't exactly high tech (by 1985 standards) and are ancient by today's standards. But, they had a technology that I've been hearing a lot lately, and, based on what I know about it from my Air Force training, I'm wondering if we are using the technology to its fullest potential.

Apple Watch Additional Observations
Saturday, I posted about my first 24 hours with the Apple Watch. Since then, I have a few more things to note about how it works.
24 Hours of Apple Watch
After the first 24 hours of owning an Apple Watch, I thought I would put down some of my initial impressions.
How to Keep Gmail, but Not Actually Use it
I've been using Gmail since it was first introduced. I've had my own domain since 1996, and in 2000, registered a second domain.
When Google introduced the Google Apps product, I moved my mail for both domains to it. I still have grandfathered free accounts there. So, all of my mail goes through these two domains. I have an account on both of them, but I forward one to the other and only ever really set one of them up in my mail clients. I've been pretty happy with the Gmail service until I got my new iPhone 5s.

My Ultra-Paranoid Backup Strategy
I am super-paranoid about losing data. I have ben using digital cameras since 1999. My oldest Daughter was one at the time.
This is the first digital camera picture I took of Megan.
There does not appear to be EXIF data on the picture, but I know it was an HP PhotoSmart camera.
Over the years, I've done a lot of things to protect these important files. I've burned then to CD and DVD, I've copied them to external drives and thumb drives. I've backed them up to Mozy (back when they actually had a reasonably-priced unlimited plan), then Carbonite (until I hit their cap where while they don't tell you you cannot upload anything else, they slow down the upload to basically enforce a limit).

Avoid Telemarketer Calls on iPhone
About once a week, I get a call from "The Captain" telling me I've won a free cruise. It always starts with the sound of a cruise ship horn. It also always comes from a Washington state phone number, so I have gotten used to just ignoring the call if it comes from there.
But now, I have found a great idea from Blogger David Smith on how to minimize the impact of unwanted calls. You can't stop them, but David's idea greatly reduces how disruptive they are.
Check it out here.

Historcal venue still host to late night dance events after groundbreaking past and recent makeover
Can a dance hall that was built in the 1930's - the first American Legion hall, the premier openly gay LA venue, and host to the nation's first legal rave - still maintain its raging reputation after a full makeover that was completed just last year? That was the question of the evening. I arrived at Los Globos to find my photographer for the night already at the venue, chatting up some people outside the front entrance. She also happened to be my long time friend (from when we both lived in San Francisco years ago), who was only in town from Portland for the evening, and quite the formidable dance floor diva. She seemed quite intent on getting her groove on.
My fears of throngs of skinny hipsters wearing tight black jeans and jaded attitudes quickly subsided as we entered a room of sharply dressed twenty- to thirty-somethings (with a few hardcore post-raver types of various ages thrown in for good measure). We were each presented with an 11" x 17" poster (suitable for framing - see above) of the night's festivities at the door as we made our way to the main bar. The next few hours were filled with dancing to sets by LA's own WMX (So Simple) and Dazz Moov (Futra), followed by a set from Detroit Underground's Derek Michael. I lost my photographer and old friend somewhere on the bustling dance floor just after we both visited the evening's featured installation.
The Future Eyes eyewear folks (along with Astral Eyes) put on quite the eleborate and enjoyable interactive installation, showcasing their custom line of kalidescopic designer eyeglasses. A long, narrow, flowing carpet that resembled a flattened disco ball led from a small table to a set of steps. A young silver space cadet approached and asked me if I would like to see everything "As it truly is" by trying on a pair of Future Eyes. She placed the glasses over my eyes and led me by the hand down the disco ball carpet and up the stairs, eyes closed. When I reached the top she said, "Now, look!" I gazed forward and saw the twisting shadow of the DJ pulsating amidst the glorious multi-colored light projection of Michael Allen, and yes - truly, it was quite lovely!
The evening was capped off by a well-rounded, yet delightfully dirty DJ set by Hotflush Recordings artist and Berlin via Detroit Electro-Wizard, Jimmy Edgar. His late night, two-plus hour set went way past the standard 2:00 am last call, and featured nods to the Classic House of Inner City, the Industrial darkness of Nine Inch Nails and the Hip Hop swagger of The Notorious B.I.G., among many varied others, as he effortlessly shifted genres, decades and BPM. He humbly (although, slightly disappointingly) opted not to play many of his own recent releases off of his inspiring latest full length release, Majenta. Yet, his ultra-sweet, late evening selections did have me grinding the air, with a smile on my face, in a full blown dance floorgasm - at 2:38 am.
At approximately 3:00 am, my photographer friend reappeared, unscathed. She had an exhausted, yet satisfied smile on her face, a look I remember well from our old San Francisco club days. It was the look that signaled that her groove had been successfully gotten for the evening. As we both made our way out the venue front door (and towards the awaiting taco truck parked just outside), we spotted Jaymie Valentine - a.k.a. the Late Night Hoop Girl - still spinning and dancing away to the throbbing tunes.
Not bad for a Thursday night!

NSF - Program on Fairness in Artificial Intelligence in Collaboration with Amazon (FAI)
Posted: June 5, 2019
Full proposals due June 25, 2019
NSF has long supported transformative research in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). The resulting innovations offer new levels of economic opportunity and growth, safety and security, and health and wellness. At the same time, broad acceptance of large-scale deployments of AI systems relies critically on their trustworthiness which, in turn, depends upon the collective ability to ensure, assess, and ultimately demonstrate the fairness, transparency, explainability, and accountability of such systems. Importantly, the beneficial effects of AI systems should be broadly available across all segments of society.
NSF and Amazon are partnering to jointly support computational research focused on fairness in AI, with the goal of contributing to trustworthy AI systems that are readily accepted and deployed to tackle grand challenges facing society. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to transparency, explainability, accountability, potential adverse biases and effects, mitigation strategies, validation of fairness, and considerations of inclusivity. Funded projects will enable broadened acceptance of AI systems, helping the U.S. further capitalize on the potential of AI technologies. Although Amazon provides partial funding for this program, it will not play a role in the selection of proposals for award.
Advancing AI is a highly interdisciplinary endeavor drawing on fields such as computer science, information science, engineering, statistics, mathematics, cognitive science, and psychology. As such, NSF and Amazon expect these varied perspectives to be critical for the study of fairness in AI. NSF's ability to bring together multiple scientific disciplines uniquely positions the agency in this collaboration, while building AI that is fair and unbiased is an important aspect of Amazon's AI initiatives. This program supports the conduct of fundamental computer science research into theories, techniques, and methodologies that go well beyond today's capabilities and are motivated by challenges and requirements in real systems.

A hardworking Brooklyn mother was hacked to death early this morning allegedly by her sword-wielding, bit-actor son during a bizarre religious meltdown in which he screamed Bible passages and made obscure references to Freemasonry, police and witnesses said.
Greg Clare, who lives downstairs from victim Yannick Brea, 55, shared with her son Michael Brea, a 31-year-old actor and low-level Freemason who had roles in "Ugly Betty" and the movie "Step Up 3D," said he first heard screams about 1 a.m.
"He kept chanting: 'Repent! Repent! Repent!'" Clare said, referring to Brea. "He kept asking her if she believed in Jesus Christ, if she believed in God. She was yelling 'Help me! Help me!'"
Another neighbor said Brea kept calling for the "architect of the universe," a term used by Freemasons to refer to a supreme being. And a police source said the murder weapon was a three-foot ceremonial Masonic sword.
A police official said 911 calls started coming in about 1:12 a.m. reporting a domestic argument in the second floor apartment on Park Place. Cops arrive minutes later and could hear Brea chanting Biblical terms behind the locked door but heard no indication of a fight.
Then a neighbor told them he could see blood on the windowsill from his own apartment so cops followed him, confirmed the blood, and then kicked in the front door.
Once inside they saw Brea brandishing the large sword, and called Emergency Services Unit for backup, which is standard practice according to Police Commissioner Ray Kelly.
"It was a barricaded situation," Kelly said. "When there is a barricade situation responding patrol officers, if possible, wait for Emergency Services Unit to respond, they're trained psychological technicians, they have additional equipment that enables them to perhaps better protect themselves to go through the door."
Neighbor Clinton Clare, Greg's father, told a different story.
"I heard moaning and then silence. They just kept standing there for 45 minutes. I think she'd be alive if they hadn't taken so long," Clare said.
Clare said the police kept asking him if he had a key to the Brea's apartment, and eventually left to call for backup. When ESU arrived, they knocked down the door about 2:20 a.m. and found a gruesome scene, with Yannick kneeling in the bathroom with multiple stab wounds to her head.
Yannick Brea's family was furious with the police response.
"When I heard what happened I went crazy," said Yannick's sister Gina Bumond, a nurse who lives in Flatbush. "I heard police didn't knock the door down. Are you serious? She could be alive today."
Bumond described her sister as a loving parent devoted to her sons.
Serge Marcel, 53, Yannick's brother, said Michael had no history of mental illness or substance abuse the family was aware of.
"I never knew this kid could do something like that," he said.
Michael Brea was taken into custody and then to Kings County Hospital, where he is undergoing psychiatric evaluation. Charges are pending against Brea, whom Kelly said had no criminal record.
Two other neighbors, Vernal Bent and his mother Phyllis, said they heard yelling from the floor below.
"I heard a shriek and a woman yelling 'help me,'¤" Vernal Bent said. "We called 911 and we kept hearing screams and then we didn't hear them any more. Michael was chanting Biblical phrases and kept calling for Moses, Jerusalem and the 'architect of the universe,'"
"I think he just snapped," Bent said. Police spent nearly 45 minutes trying to get into the apartment, Bent said
Phyllis, who refused to give her last name, said she was friends with Yannick and that the woman would frequently bring them traditional Haitian food.
Mustafa Nashal, who owns a deli a half block away, said Yannick would make him her special chicken and rice a few times a week.
"She treated me like a son. She'd come in every day for five or ten dollars of Lottery tickets. She was here last night," said Nashal, 33.
She once worked at the Marriott at the World Trade Center but left after the hotel was destroyed in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, neighbors said.
She currently worked at another Marriott in Brooklyn as a housekeeper, and was also a regular at St. Theresa Avila not far from her Park Place home.
Clare said Michael's twin brother Marcel, a martial arts instructor, also lived with his mother, who neighbors said was separated from her husband but still on friendly terms.
In addition to his acting, Michael Brea was also an entrepreneur who at one time owned a Subway franchise at 1709 Broadway in Brooklyn. A friend said in 2008 Brea gave out hundreds of free turkey subs on Thanksgiving to feed the less fortunate, a charitable effort inspired by his mother, who was also known to cook for those in need.
But the Subway parent corporation took back the franchise roughly a year ago because of poor performance. Creditors had also placed several liens against the business when Brea owned it, court records show.
Michael talked about his life and goals in an article posted on BelFim.com, a Haitian Internet movie database.
"I remember growing up, and my mother was always feeding people who were less fortunate. My parents raised me to always share and to give charity in the name of GOD!" he wrote.
US President Barack Obama has pledged the US will defend South Korea after what the White House branded an outrageous attack by North Korea on its neighbour.
"South Korea is our ally. It has been since the Korean War," Mr Obama said in his first comments about the North Korean shelling of a South Korean island.
"And we strongly affirm our commitment to defend South Korea as part of that alliance."
The President, speaking to America's ABC News, would not speculate when asked about military options.
He was expected to telephone South Korean President Lee Myung-bak today, and he met into the evening with his top national security advisers to discuss next steps.
Mr Obama joined the meeting at the White House, after returning from a trip to Indiana, and was briefed on the fallout from Pyongyang's artillery assault on a South Korean island, officials said.
"The President reiterated the unshakeable support of the United States for our ally, the Republic of Korea, and discussed ways to advance peace and security on the Korean peninsula going forward," a White House statement said.
The meeting included National Security Adviser Tom Donilon, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of Defence Robert Gates, their deputies and top Asia foreign policy officials.
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper; Admiral Michael Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; and the vice chairman, General James Cartwright, also took part.
Washington's ambassador to the UN Susan Rice joined the discussion by video conference.
The line-up was similar to the roster of officials often called on by Mr Obama for meetings of his Afghan war cabinet.

Minter: Ah, The Smell Of Bondo In A NASCAR Garage
Daytona Beach, Fla. – A few random observations from a Friday at Daytona International Speedway.
First, it was refreshing to walk through the garage and get a whiff of fresh Bondo being applied to a race car. Donnie Wingo and the crew of Trevor Bayne's No. 21 Ford were in the far end of the second garage building, putting a new left door and new front fender pieces on their car. The door and fender sections were works of art, pieces of flat metal shaped by hand into curved sections that eventually will meet the tight specifications of NASCAR's templates.
It was like watching a fine craftsman at work on a piece of art, made all the more pleasant by the aroma of freshly mixed body filler.
And, as was the case with Jeff Gordon's crew repairing his No. 24, damaged in the same crash that banged up Bayne's Ford, it was like old times to see teams fixing cars in the garage instead of unloading back-up cars.
Supper at Gene's steakhouse on Thursday after the Gatorade Duels has become a tradition for members of the media from the Atlanta area, who are treated to a fine meal by Atlanta Motor Speedway track president Ed Clark.
This year's gathering was enjoyable as usual, but I couldn't help thinking what wasn't said, which was that in year's past Clark and his staff were busy making last-minute preparations for their spring Cup race. This year, there is no spring Cup race at AMS, even though the traditional March date is now an open weekend.
Clark is a first-class fellow. His track is one of the better ones on the circuit from a competition standpoint. Surely one day he'll get that race date back.
Over the years in NASCAR, there have been few people as loyal to the sport, and to his sponsors, team owners, fans and the media, than Mobile, Ala.'s Rick Crawford.
But Crawford lost his full-time gig last year in the Camping World Truck Series, where he'd been one of that circuit's most loyal participants and holds the record for career starts with 325.
Then on Thursday night, he failed to qualify for Friday's truck race at Daytona, a race he won in 2003, the first year the trucks raced at Daytona.
According to Crawford's long-time publicist Tommy Prater, it was the first time in Crawford's career, in any form of racing, that he'd failed to qualify for a race.
Motor racing has many fine attributes, but it can be heart-breaking as well. Crawford, who tried to qualify one of his old Fords, made over into a Chevy, deserves better.

My theme of late has been things going on in downtown Los Angeles. I spend about 70% of my time here, and I realize as I get older I like to stick closer to home. Long trips out to Santa Monica feel like weekend affairs to me. Though, I will say, I've been planning a trek to the mountains and/or desert for awhile. My plans tend to change at the last minute, though, and my previously scheduled trips were all canceled due to unexpected events. It's unfortunate, I know. I will not be thwarted much longer. I will escape the city for more tranquil settings soon.
While I'm still here, there are always lots of fun things to do in town. Continue reading

Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on Agriculture, Éamon Ó Cuív TD, has criticised the Minister for the Environment for his lack of interest and commitment to the potential of rural recreation in Ireland.
In reply to a parliamentary question tabled by Deputy Ó Cuív this week, Minister Hogan clearly demonstrated a total disinterest in the potential of this sector.
Deputy Ó Cuív commented: "It is my belief from my time as Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs that it would be possible to create up to 6,000 sustainable jobs, spread throughout the country, by the proper and comprehensive development of rural and marine recreation.
"Considerable work had been done during my period in that Department to get agreement between farmers and recreational users through Comhairle na Tuaithe, which seeks to develop a countryside recreation strategy. This work was very successful and a large number of projects were completed over the last number of years due to the work of the Department at that time.
"I realised that we were only scratching at the surface in relation to the potential for rural and marine recreation in the State and I had developed plans for a comprehensive approach in this regard.
"Unfortunately, the attitude and approach of this Minister is totally different. The very small staff in the Department allocated to Rural Recreation has decreased during his tenure of office by 17%.
"In a reply to another question I tabled, the Minister also stated that no new walks have been developed under the existing Walk Scheme since September 2010. In the time of the previous Government 40 new trails were developed under the, 'New Walks Scheme', which ensured high quality, well maintained walks for rural recreation users at an annual cost of less than €2 million, covering 1,805 landowners.
"A new mountain access project with a pilot scheme for two locations, Mount Gable in Connemara and Carrantuohill in Co. Kerry was also being developed during my time in the Department. It would appear that in the last year and a half that Minister Hogan has made no significant progress in relation to the development of a comprehensive national mountain access scheme. Even the two pilot schemes are not functional and it shows a total lack of interest by the Minister.
"It is also significant that the Minister has not attended any meeting of Comhairle na Tuaithe since he became Minister. Despite the fact that Comhairle na Tuaithe has met on four occasions since he came into office. Without active Ministerial involvement and participation, it is clear that the development of the full potential of rural recreation will not make the progress it could from both an economic and social point of view."

Hello lovelies,
Just to let you know, there will be more posts, but I've got a few things on at the moment, both health-wise and otherwise. I will commence posting soon.
If you've sent me messages or emails and I haven't replied, then that's why. It's nothing to worry about, just any extra things to deal with mean I don't have any spare energy for the normal things. All of that balancing stuff I mentioned last time.
In the mean time, allow me to introduce to you the Standby Hedgehog. He comes and hangs out and keeps things sorted for me when I'm working on other stuff.
Look at his little fuzzy tum.

The Dude threw out the ceremonial first pitch at Dodger Stadium last night and put a new spin on the event. Instead of throwing the ball, Jeff Bridges bowled it down to home plate where Brian Wilson awaited. Not being into the whole brevity thing, Bridges then asked for the ball back and abided the general rule of these things and actually threw it to Wilson.
And here is your GIF of the exact sequence.

Hello Again,
This time coming from a lazy Sunday. Oooooh so lazy. I'm literally in bed as I type. I decided this week to join a challange from CASology. It's not too late for you to play too! The challange closes at noon tomorrow so go play while you can!
The challange this week is "Mini". It just so happens that I recently made a cute little 3×3 for our wonderful mail carrier. It may look a little "Valentines-ie" because it is. I put this in our mailbox on Valentine's day with a box of chocolates for our Mr. Ed. I'm getting a bit off here but bare with me… Mr. Ed is over 80 years old. He works five days a week delivering our mail. He leaves lollipops in the mailboxes for the kids in the neighborhood and on his day off you can find him and his wife volunteering at the VFW. Such a sweetheart!
Ok, back to the card! This is a simple little number that was fun and easy to make. I just layered the Basic Black card stock with Real Red and a 2.5″ x 2. 5″ sheet from the Stacked with Love DSP stack. These little cards are a great way to use up your scraps!
Anywho, I stamped the sentiment (Something to Say set) in craft white and heat embossed. I layered the hearts with some dimensionals and voila, C'est facile! 🙂
