Drone Camp lands at The Landing
Where can middle and high school students land after school?
The Landing — where they will be treated to a free warm dinner, homework help, mentorship, games and activities, and now, thematic clubs.
Mike Phay, who is the lead pastor at First Baptist Church, started The Landing in 2011 as a safe place for teens to gather after school and get tutoring and a warm meal.
"Now, we're bringing in curriculum," said Steve Pine, the new executive director of Central Oregon Youth Development Inc.
This school year, The Landing has expanded its hours from three days a week to four days a week, allowing for more educational programs. The first is Drone Camp, scheduled for early October.
The free after-school program is open from 3 to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday on school days upstairs at First Baptist Church. The church allows the program to use an activity room and adjoining kitchen and dining room practically free of charge.
Central Oregon Youth Development Inc. operates the program along with After the Bell, an after-school program for elementary students that is located in a modular building at Pioneer Complex.
Grants, donations and fundraising supports The Landing as well, as do the many volunteers.
Onsite Coordinator Jamey Lambert and support staff Cayden Quinn are the two staff members who oversee the students and activities. Each day, a team of volunteers come in and prepare and serve dinner to the teens.
During the 2017-18 school year, The Landing served 150 students. More than 75 volunteers put in 1,200 hours, and between the two after-school programs, more than 8,000 meals were served.
Those numbers will go up this year with the extended hours and offerings at The Landing.
Part of Pine's job is to line up some curriculum programs, such as aviation, robotics, health science, environmental studies and culinary arts.
"Cayden, for example, is very interested in culinary arts, and he's a self-proclaimed great cook, so we're going to let him do a culinary club," Pine pointed out.
Drone Camp
The first thematic club on the schedule is Drone Camp, set for Tuesdays and Thursdays, Oct. 2, 4, 9 and 11.
Kevin Sivertson, an adjunct professor of unmanned aviation at Central Oregon Community College in Bend, will teach Drone Camp, which is limited to 25 students.
"We are providing the camp to expose students and society to the possibilities and consequences of unmanned technologies," Sivertson said.
"Unmanned technologies are influencing the largest employment sector in the world, transportation. Remotely piloted cars, trains, boats and aircraft will be changing the landscape of the workforce," Sivertson said. "At COCC, we prepare students for life and work in these new and exciting fields."
Drone Camp gives students the opportunity to learn how to fly safely and understand more about what goes on in the sky with airplanes, drones, rockets and helicopters. It helps pique interest in aviation and unmanned aviation careers and pathways to those careers at COCC. The camp will cover pilot decision making and responsibility concerning legality and ethics of new technologies.
"We want to share a positive, fun activity for anyone to enjoy and safely participate in," Sivertson said.
On the first day of Drone Camp, simulator stations will allow student to practice flying skills and have competitions in a virtual world. There will be quizzes and lectures on safe operations as well as vehicle demonstrations.
The second day, they will continue the simulators and also practice basic maneuvers and be introduced to safety features and protocols.
In the next session, students will practice take offs and landings and some more complex drone movements. They'll learn how to handle emergencies and maybe even get to do an obstacle course.
"We will finish the week by learning how to take good video footage from a drone and some additional smart features of the drones to make filming easier," Sivertson said.
Pickleball tournament
In order to afford to put on these thematic camps at The Landing and to support the After the Bell program, Central Oregon Youth Development Inc. is planning a number of activities, the first being the Prineville Invitational Benefit Pickleball Tournament Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 29 and 30 at the Crook County High School tennis courts.
"We have some beginners and some high-quality players from out of town coming to join our own beginners and high-level players," Pine said.
Free pickleball clinics are set for 3:30 p.m. Wednesdays, Sept. 12 and 19 and 9 a.m. Saturdays, Sept. 15 and 22 at CCHS.
Early registration is underway for the tournament. Cost is $20 for adults and $5 for students through Sept. 21. Late registration is $25 for adults and $7 for students. Challenge teams, where four players challenge another four-player team, costs $15 per adult player and $4 per student player.
The event begins at 9 a.m. Sept. 29, and round robin tournament play starts at noon Sept. 30.
The event will include sponsorship opportunities, food vendors, raffles and prizes.
"If you're a raw beginner, the tournament is just supposed to be fun, a fun and games tournament, really, and then they'll get to see some real pickleball played," Pine said. "Come out and support the students by having fun, contributing to the cause, challenging yourself and your friends."
The Landing
3-6 p.m. Monday-Thursday at First Baptist Church, 450 SE Fairview St.
Phone: 458-231-1843

Japanese Business Quote of the Day
"A smiling tour guide is waiting for us, dressed in a neat uniform which reminds me of an early 1960s air hostess. She leads us into a 250-seat auditorium, gestures for Mr Kato and me to sit in the middle, about 10 rows back, and stands at a podium at the front, about fifty yards away from us. She begins a presentation, which Mr Kato translates. I couldn't feel more self-conscious if I was sitting here naked."

As first-time parents of a 7-month-old baby, my husband and I are far from being classified as seasoned parents. However, when it comes to traveling with a baby, we seem to have become seasoned quite quickly. Though we haven't ventured on any extensive or exotic vacations with our little one, he's already seen plenty of trips in our trailer from our tiny town to the big city to visit family and even a vacation to the ocean this summer. While I continue to love the incredible help our trailer is when traveling with a baby, through trial and error we have found some great products designed for traveling with a baby that have made our travels so much easier and more enjoyable for all of us. I've come up with a list of our top 10 favorite baby products to travel with.
There is no one sponsoring this article, these products are just ones that we truly love to use and highly recommend to anyone traveling with little ones. I hope these can be as much of a blessing to you and your family as they have been to ours.
As I've discussed previously in my article titled "Nursery on Wheels", baby monitors have proven to be such a stress reliever during our travels. We hook up the baby monitor and then once our little one is put down for a nap or bedtime, my husband and I are still free to continue enjoying our vacation without putting everything on hold to sit quietly in the trailer. We can sit by the fire, play in the river or walk down to the beach all within range of the monitor. There are two kinds of monitors we bring with us. The first is a video monitor with a camera that allows us to keep eyes and ears on our baby at all times. It has great features such as zooming in, adjusting the volume, moving the camera angle or changing the brightness of the screen. While this is our favorite monitor, we can't deny the fact that this is a high-priced item and one that we don't want to chance damaging. For this reason, when we don't have a way to safely secure the monitor while we're out enjoying time on the beach or in the water, we bring a simple audio monitor. This monitor only picks up the sound of your little one (no camera) but also has a great range and volume adjustment. This being less than a $20 investment, we can easily justify replacing this on the off chance that this were damaged while we're out and about during nap or bedtime. It's also a great option long-term if the video monitor is out of your price range to begin with. We're so glad to have both of these monitors available to us at home and on the go.
A white noise machine is something some parents swear by and others could care less about. While this is not something my son requires at all times in order to sleep, we love having the option to turn on some white noise while he sleeps to neutralize the sound of our voices if we're sitting outside the trailer around the campfire or if there are loud noises from other campers nearby. We love the travel noise machine by HoMedics. It has 4 different sound options, volume adjustment, a timer feature, a long battery life and is very inexpensive.
An outdoor blanket is such a help if you have little ones under walking age. We love that we can let our son play freely on a large clean, surface as we too enjoy time outdoors. It folds up nicely so we can transport it easily and it's heavy enough not to blow away if the wind picks up. It's also super easy to wipe clean if needed. Sometimes we even bring our son's baby play mat to put on top of the blanket so he can play on the floor with familiar toys just like he does at home.
If your child is more mobile, an outdoor blanket may not be enough to keep them safely playing while giving you the option to turn your back for a moment. Once your child is this mobile, it can be very helpful to bring along a play yard such as this one. This keeps your child contained, but offers a large enough space for them to move around as they play. It's light weight and folds up to about the size of a standard camping chair. If you're looking for an alternative, most parents have a travel pack'n play play yard similar to this. These can be especially helpful if you also want to use this as a sleeping option for your child, but it is heavier and larger to store when not in use than the first option listed.
Whether it's used for play time or eating a travel chair can make things so much easier on both you and your baby. We love that it gives our son some independence if he wants to sit up to people watch or explore while he plays with his toys. By having a travel chair available at meal times, we can help our son eat without having to awkwardly hold him in our lap or risking getting his food all over us. This chair folds up nicely so it's easy to travel with. When you're ready to use it you can just fold it open like a normal camp chair and it can even buckle to a larger chair so it can be elevated. If you don't want to buy a specific travel chair, many parents have Bumbo seats for their baby to use. With the tray attached this too can function great for meal times.
There are so many great options if you're in the market for a great baby carrier. We love our Ergo baby carrier like this one but if that is out of your budget I've had friends who loved this inexpensive carrier which is a great option too. With a baby carrier, I love the fact that my husband and I can bring our son with us on adventures and still have our hands free to skip rocks, collect shells, or simply hold hands. This summer we even kept our son in the baby carrier while we went clamming on the beach. These carriers keep your baby warm and shielded from the weather while offering great back support for you and great versatility.
We're always so thankful to have a jogging stroller with us when we're out and about and this one by Baby Trend is a great buy. It's one of the most inexpensive joggers we found that had great reviews and we couldn't love it more. While it's obviously designed for use when jogging, we love to use it when we go walking on gravel or dirt trails. The large tires help you get around so much easier than with standard-sized stroller wheels. It can be used with the matching infant car seat or can be used on his own with older children. It folds up nice and compact and has great storage underneath.
If you've got a child in diapers a diaper clutch can be a God send when you're on the go. This one keeps everything organized and easily contained. When it's time to change a diaper you just grab the clutch and you have everything you need right at your finger tips - no more fumbling through over-crowded diaper bags. Unfolded, it functions as a great changing pad that easily wipes clean when needed and has 2 small pouches for containing clean diapers and baby wipes.
Disposable diapers and wipes can be so expensive and buying in bulk can offer huge savings. But when traveling I find it so helpful to have a small, reusable container for baby wipes that I can fill from my bulk stash. I never have to buy those over priced travel sized baby wipes again and I don't have to tote around large containers of wipes taking up precious space when traveling. They make both hard- and soft-cased containers and I find both so easy to use. They're also great if you use reusable cloth wipes for your baby.
I love to have wet bags readily available when traveling with my son. If you're unfamiliar with these, they are bags with a waterproof lining that you can place wet or soiled items into until you're able to wash them. These are great for cloth diapering, swimsuits, or simply soiled clothing. I love that I can store these items separate from other used/dirty clothing as we travel and that everything is easily contained.
I hope this list has been both helpful and insightful for you. Having these items along on our travels has made a world of difference for us. They offer ease in caring for our son, allow all of us to enjoy each activity to the fullest, and keep us adequately prepared, all without taking up too much space in our trailer. With a few helpful travel items for your baby you simplify and maximize your traveling experiences. Have fun!

Key legislator disses White House science office, Science
"The White House science office hasn't been very productive under President Barack Obama, says the chairman of a key congressional research spending panel. And Representative John Culberson (R-TX) says he'd like to see it downsized. ... Since becoming CJS chairman in January 2015, Culberson has used his position as a "cardinal" to advocate for his scientific priorities, starting with a multi-billion-dollar NASA mission to a jovian moon that some scientists believe may harbor life."
Keith's note: Funny how a member of Congress with zero science training shoves Europa missions down NASA's throat and then complains about a congressionally-mandated position in the Executive Branch that overtly seeks to have actual scientific input - from actual scientists - so as to make informed decisions - about science.

The video above was a promotional video I made before his run, and the video documents Ben's unbelievable story as he runs a distance that is 15 times longer than a typical marathon. I donated my videos to Ben's cause to help raise awareness of this amazing run.

This is the blog for a new course at the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford (also known as the d.school), Rebooting Government with Design Thinking. We are a passionate group of faculty and students inspired by the potential for human-centered design, alongside new technologies, to transform the public sector. Throughout the spring quarter, we'll explore citizens' needs and governments' capabilities to spur creative ideas about how to make government more efficient, empower people to have a say in how they are governed, and hold those in power accountable for what they deliver. This course is part of the Governance Collaboratory, a new program at Stanford which will support governance innovation around the world.
In this project-based class, students will work intensively on concrete design challenges with two unique partners: a groundbreaking civil society activist in Sierra Leone and the City Manager of East Palo Alto. By working with government reformers on the inside and a civil society activist on the outside, the course will explore the challenges of fostering innovations in governance from both sides of the formal institutional divide. Students will also examine governance from a theoretical and empirical perspective, enabling them to see how design thinking complements the analytical and policy approaches already being employed.
Throughout the quarter, students will be blogging about their experience and learnings here.

Animal Groomer
Animal grooming is hard work, but you also get to hang out with pets all day. Shampooing, fluffing, pampering, clipping nails, grooming fur — for many people, taking care of their pets is one of their highest priorities. For self-employed groomers, that can pay off handsomely.
A good way to find out if pet grooming is the job for you is to take a job with another groomer first. The pay may not be as high as if you were self-employed, but it's a good way to find out if you like the profession. The work is fun for animal-loving energetic people but is also physically demanding. Self-employed pet groomers can make upwards of $75,000 a year if they have a steady amount of pets coming in [source: NBC]. Once groomers establish a clientele of regular customers and their pets (or pets and their humans), they can operate out of their homes, a mobile unit or their own shop, depending on their needs.

Abstract: Today, the interplay between the network society and the knowledge society have provided an overarching perspective on how global interconnectivity and knowledge transfer cannot be separated anymore. The advancement of technological opportunitie s and the openness towards knowledge acquisition have reconfigured the landscape of human collaboration. As a premise of achieving sustainable competitive advantages, organizations should reconsider the value of the social and information exchange within their networks, facilitating organizational learning and proper response to the field dynamics. Against this backdrop, the present paper addressed the viewpoints and practices of academics from European higher education institutions in regard to leveragin g the intellectual capital within their online social networks. Stressing on subjects from European developing countries, the research advanced a new concept ‑ the network‑based intellectual capital liable to account for an emergent capital reification and relied on an interview‑based survey with 27 professors. As the findings showed, although acknowledged as a paramount competitive advantage, the network‑based intellectual capital is yet to be properly capitalized.
Keywords: Keywords: network-based intellectual capital, higher education institutions, competitiveness

The show presents 11 works, and ranges from monotypes on paper to collaged works on panel.
Lori Glavin is an abstract painter, printmaker, and collage artist who has been involved in the visual arts for over 35 years. Throughout her career she has explored many styles and modes of making work, following a spontaneous explorations of domestic and mundane environments she lives in. Glavin works without a plan and embraces happy accident, building up forms piece by piece without a plan.
In her own words:
"In my home environment, possessions are stacked and scattered, organized and misplaced, remembered and forgotten. This dichotomy informs and inspires my studio practice. I make piles to gain control and find order in a world of excess data, information and consumer goods. In my work I combine, collect, and sort- layering small bits to make an arrangement of color and shape that becomes a monument to the minutiae of my daily life."
Lori Glavin is originally from Rochester, NY, and she earned her BFA from Syracuse University's School of Visual and Performing Arts. For the past 20 years Lori has focused on her fine art practice. In 2007 she co-founded Wilson Avenue Loft Artists, a community of artist studios in Norwalk, CT. She was a Vermont Studio Center grant recipient and resident in 2015 and 2018.

azis. I hate those guys."
So said Indiana Jones while in the midst of "The Last Crusade," and given the atrocities committed in the name of Hitler and the Third Reich during the 1930s and 1940s, who doesn't hate them? And because they're so hated, it was remarkably easy to mock them during World War II, as was done impeccably in such classic films as Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator" and Ernst Lubitsch's "To Be or Not to Be." By the time the war was over, however, the need for mockery was gone, and the memories were far too fresh for anyone to find anything funny about the goings-on in Germany.
That being the case, you can kind of understand why CBS originally rejected "Hogan's Heroes."
On the surface, there wouldn't seem to be anything funny about a POW camp in Germany during the second World War, but given that Billy Wilder had already mined similar material over a decade earlier with "Stalag 17," it was clear that the situation could be made humorous. Once creators Bernard Fein and Albert S. Ruddy assured the network that the entire point of the series was to make the Germans look like incompetent boobs, "Hogan's Heroes" moved forward, subsequently lasting for a not-too-shabby six-season run.
The series follows the shenanigans of American Army Air Corps Colonel Robert E. Hogan (Bob Crane) and his fellow prisoners of war as they outwit their Nazi captors at every turn – not that it's such a difficult feat, given the likes of Colonel Klink (Werner Klemperer) and Sergeant Schultz (John Banner). The group of POWs is as diverse yet ultimately generic a bunch as you'd expect from a sitcom. There's Kinchloe (Ivan Dixon), the communications expert, Carter (Larry Hovis), the demolitions expert, LeBeau (Robert Clary), who's both a chef and a master of covert operations, and Newkirk (Richard Dawson), the resident con-man. So let's see: you've got two Americans, a Frenchman, a Brit, and, uh, a black guy. Yep, that's mid-'60s diversity for you. Together, this bunch proceeds to do their best to take down the German army from the inside, and as you'd expect, they succeed at their goal far more often than they fail.
"Hogan's Heroes" is a classic '60s sitcom, which is to say that, as long as you know the premise, you can tune into any one of the 168 episodes. That means that there's little concern for continuity, and if you've come looking for any storyline other than the general one that keeps the show going (you may know it as World War II), it also explains why it continues to thrive in syndication even now. Well, that and the fact that it's funny. Despite the proclivities in his personal life which were detailed in the film "Auto Focus," Bob Crane's swaggering performance as Col. Hogan drives the series almost as much as Werner Klemperer's misplaced confidence as the doddering Col. Klink.
If you can just get past the concept of the series, then you certainly won't have to look hard for the laughs. There are a lot of great war-related jokes that veterans no doubt enjoyed, such as Carter's comment that the boys in the metal shop are working on some reversible tie-pins: "On one side it says 'Heil Hitler,' and on the other, 'I was in Switzerland during the war.'" In addition to the humor that's derived from Hogan's confidence and Klink's obliviousness, there's a considerable amount of slapstick that ensues from Hogan and his crew enacting their various plans. In a nutshell, Hogan's Heroes" is a komedy klassic. (Hey, if they can use all those K's, then so can I.)
Special Features: This is the first time that all six seasons of the series have been compiled into one box, but as is to be expected with this "komplete series" set, there's a bonus disc which will make the fans want to howl in fury even as they're plunking down the dough. In fairness, though, there's some great stuff on there: an extended version of the pilot episode, promos, clips of the cast on other CBS shows as well as the Emmy Awards, conversations with co-creator Albert S. Ruddy and co-star Richard Dawson, a digital version of the Mad Magazine parody of the show ("Hokum's Heroes), and – wait for it – an episode in German. Yes, believe it or not, Germans actually like the show. But, then, they like David Hasselhoff, too.

Put a Stop to Sweat-Sopped Shirts!
On hot, humid days when the sun burns like a blowtorch, it takes mere minutes of outdoor work for a cotton shirt to become sweat-soaked, clingy and foul smelling. Do yourself (and everybody downwind) a big favor, and switch to wearing these Duluth Performance Tees. The 100% polyester fabric is super-smooth and weighs practically nothing, so it sits lightly on your skin. Yet it's surprisingly strong – handles grueling daily wear and washing without missing a beat. Better yet, the naturally stretchy fabric also wicks sweat from skin AND fights odor, so your crew can breathe easy.

Building successful strategic international partnerships
Date & Time
FeeSee Registration & Fees page
- Partnerships & networks
What you'll learn
Not all partnerships are created equal: strategic international partnerships between higher education institutions match goals with measures, operate efficiently across cultures and advance broader institutional aims. Establishing and managing such partnerships requires significant investment of time and resources – so it's worth doing right. This course will help you develop an understanding of the nature of strategic international partnerships and their role in the context of an institution's overall partnership portfolio, including how to plan and implement them successfully. You'll learn to ask the crucial questions necessary to match your own institution's strategy and goals with suitable cooperation schemes and secure the right partners. The course will also address issues such as allocating resources, setting policies, and evaluating outcomes. Join us and develop a roadmap for the successful establishment or continuation of strategic international partnerships at your institution.
- Identify what makes a partnership strategically important within your institutional context
- Learn practical approaches to engage stakeholders, overcome common challenges and measure progress
- Understand key stages of the partnership lifecycle and learn to apply critical success factors for each stage within your own institution
How to get the most out of this course
This comprehensive course presents a learning opportunity that would be especially beneficial to those already involved in some aspect of international higher education partnership work at their institution. Whether you are integral to your institution's partnership strategy or one of the people who make partnerships work on a day-to-day basis (or anywhere in between), you will have much to learn from this course. High levels of participant involvement and interactivity encourage everyone to contribute actively to the course. You will be invited to do a small amount of suggested reading before the course and complete a pre-course questionnaire about your particular challenges and concerns.
This course has been offered previously under the title: Strategic international partnerships: secrets for success.


text: Made up of sophomores from high school in Odessa, Texas, Knights Bridge was an astonishingly adept and hard-edged garage band. They were signed to Sea Ell Records of Houston in 1967 and cut a debut single, "Make Me Some Love" b/w "CJ Smith," that oozed punk defiance on a level that would've been more appropriate to a group five years older. The record only ever had a few hundred copies pressed, and reportedly changed hands for prices of up to $500 in the 1980's. In 1994, both sides of the record, plus a demo of "C.J. Smith" and a fourth Sea Ell-recorded track, "I Need Your Love," turned up on Collectables Records' History of Texas Garage Bands In the '60s Volume 1: The Sea Ell Label Story. ~ Bruce Eder~ Rovi

Munger Road | Review
By Don Simpson | October 2, 2012
Director: Nicholas Smith
Writing: Nicholas Smith
Starring: Bruce Davison, Randall Batinkoff, Trevor Morgan, Brooke Peoples, Hallock Beals, Lauren Storm, Art Fox, Maggie Henry, Bill J. Stevens
During my sophomore year of college, my dorm room neighbor took me to a train trestle where a woman's ghost was known to haunt. (He was afraid to go alone and I must have been devastatingly bored.) We walked the train tracks for about two miles. Nothing much happened. Well, there was a brief moment when we both saw what seemed to be her lantern, but never got close enough to see the "ghost."
It seems that many rural towns in close proximity to train tracks — especially train trestles — have similar ghost stories. Teenage boys typically use these tall tales to scare the bejesus out of their dates. (Who says that chivalry is dead? Oh, but just you wait until when — on separate occasions — each boyfriend counts to three and leaves his respective girlfriend in the dust in order to escape presumed danger.) Munger Road's ghost story states that a bus load of kids were killed while their bus was stalled at a train crossing. Ever since that fateful event, the kind ghosts of the deceased kids have pushed stalled vehicles off of those very same tracks. I can only assume that a lot of vehicles just happen to stall out at that very location, because that is exactly what happens to Corey (Trevor Morgan), Joe (Brooke Peoples), Scott (Hallock Beals) and Rachael (Lauren Storm) — and the foursome have even brought a video camera and a whole lot of baby powder along to document the paranormal events.
The problem is, their vehicle really breaks down. (Cue scary music and fog.) Then, there is a another problem — no cell phone reception. Now what should they do? Any ideas? Of course! I should have thought of that! Corey should walk back to town alone while the others wait in the locked vehicle. Great plan!
It is not long before Joe, Scott and Rachael begin receiving eerie text messages from the phone of their missing friend…despite still not having cell phone reception. Scared to the gills, Joe decides to take a long solo trek back to town, leaving Scott and Rachael behind in the locked vehicle. Very smart young lady, that Joe, if I do say so myself. I can only assume that these four teenagers have never watched a single horror film in their lives — though the girls certainly do have the classic horror film scream down pretty good.
All the while, Chief Kirkhoven (Bruce Davison) and Deputy Hendricks (Randall Batinkoff) tirelessly try to track down an escaped felon who has presumably returned to town to reap revenge upon his captors. Eventually the police search intertwines with the case of the four missing teens. Coincidence? I think not.
To be perfectly honest, I had to watch the second half of Munger Road multiple times just to convince myself that the narrative twists make no sense. I kept thinking that I was missing some crucial tidbit of information; but it seems that is not the case, this is just a horribly written film. But wait…this was inspired by true events? I somehow do not believe that the true events were really this illogical.

You can create a fancy and dramatic eye look from your favorite pallet but I prefer to stick to my natural colors. For me, less is MORE! So I went simple but fresh and young-looking for my makeup today.
So for this look, I used mineral foundation, as they are better for my skin. The easiest way to apply, is just with your clean fingers, or use some sort of foundation brush if you prefer and blend it onto your face.And then rub the concealing cream up with your fingers, and pat it on to cover up your dark and noticeable circles under your eyes. Apply your favorite eye primer onto your lids to get them ready for your simple and light eye shadow. Then, lightly dab your chosen color over your lid and into the crease. I use white and a small amount of light blue color from Sonia Kashuk Pallet. If you wish to have a fresh looking eye, I suggest, do not put too much on and just go layer by layer until you feel satisfied with the results. So using your brown eyeliner pencil, draw a thin line under your waterline and to your upper lash line. This will create an illusion of a bigger eye, and a thicker lash. And then curl your lashes with your favorite mascara. For your eyebrows, apply the brown shadow to your brows and blend it well. Use your eyebrow brush to gently brush your brows back into place
For my lips, I used Revlon red lipstick and I mixed it well with purple color and finished it with lip gloss. Lastly, put a less blush on your cheeks. And you're done! It is perfect for your everyday use. I hope you like this look! All the best!

Sharing Wellness Info
My good friend, Gail Coffey, has a medical sharing website. These are some important articles that I received through her WellnessSharing posts. Periodically, I will be adding more of her articles but do check out her website and do ask to receive article postings. This is a good and reliable resource! Like myself, this "trail blazing" group is learning about medical alternatives through their own personal experiences.
Spices for Health
We received an email that had about 15 healthful uses of powdered cinnamon and honey recently and experimented with it. Then a few days later I read in Wellbeing Journal, July/August 2007, Vol 16, No 4 newsletter some information that confirmed the use of cinnamon for helping diabetes: according to the Journal of Agriculture Food Chemistry 04;52[1]1:65-70 and Diabetes Care 03;26[12]:3215-8, half a teaspoon of cinnamon a day significantly reduced fasting glucose levels (18-29%) in 60 persons with type 2 diabetes and also reduced triglyceride levels (23-30%), LDL cholesterol (7-27%). To maintain the benefits, it is necessary to continue the 1/2 tsp./day of cinnamon. The New England Journal of Medicine 01:345:790-797 now reports that those who suffer from blood sugar related symptoms (low or high) can return to health by decreasing or eliminating simple sugars, eliminating trans fatty acids, increasing fiber intake, and exercising regularly.
In the email article we were sent, one of the suggestions for longevity was to make a tea by boiling 3 cups of water, 4 spoons of honey, and 1 spoon of cinnamon powder; then drink 1/4 cup 3 to 4 times a day. The claim is that it keeps the skin fresh and soft and arrests old age. We're continuing our experiment… For other uses of cinnamon and honey, check this source.
From Pam Blowers at Organic NZ, we've learned that coriander/cilantro leaves contain an antibacterial that is twice as effective at disintegrating salmonella as the antibiotic, gentamicin. You may have used it in salads or soups— either the fresh leaves or the ground powder. The fresh leaves are such strong chelators of heavy metals that those who are heavily toxic, have to be very careful and sparing in their consumption of coriander/cilantro. If you know you have heavy metals toxicity, be judicious. For other herb references for health, take a look at Dr. Mercola's discussion of peppermint, oregano, dill, thyme, rosemary, cayenne pepper, etc.
Omega-3 Fats
Concentrations of omega-3 fats were associated with positive bone mineral densities in a study of 78 teenage men over an 8-year span. DHA was linked to better total bone densities and positive changes in the spine for men between 16 and 22. Omega-e fatty acid DHA has also been shown to reduce diastolic blood pressure and heart rate in healthy men and women (0.7 grams/day for 3 months, a "washout" period of four months, followed by a placebo for 3 months). These studies were both published in editions of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

As you know, our bodies are atleast 70% water – our brain being 85% water and our blood 90% water.
You may also know first-hand, how the MOON, does effect all aspects of our being, precisely because we are spiritual beings of water.
With this knowledge, I was fortunate enough, to be introduced to a revolutionary device from Japan (Japanese are # 1 in prevention and # 1 in longevity) that turns ordinary tap water into an extremely potent health product.

On the diabetes/cinnamon issue. There are some toxins in cinnamon-in the oil. So long term use of regular cinnamon is not such a good idea. There is a PF of cinnamon called cinnulin in which they extracted the toxic oil and left the benefit. It is available in health food stores under different names but look for the cinnulin name. Also, I have type 2 diabetes and control it entirely with nopal cactus. 1 capsule drops blood sugar about 40 points. The trick is you need to track your blood sugar thru the day to know where you stand or you will get hypoglycemic. Eventually, meal planning and use of the supplement get it under control. Be careful at bedtime as you dont want it too low during the nite and that has happened. Practice with it makes perfect. Not only for the blood sugar, but also triglycerides and cholesterol etc. Think about looking into it. I take no presciptions at all for diabetes. Disclaimer: be sure to check with your alternative health care provider on doing this.

I picked a date when Mars and the Moon are in Scorpio for a colonoscopy. The transiting Moon will trine my natal Cancer Moon. I just read on another site that it's a bad idea to pick a date for medical procedures when the moon is in the sign of the body part it rules. I thought with both Mars and Moon in Scorpio it would be helpful….the moon will be separating from a conjunction with Saturn and moving to trine Venus. Sun and Moon are separating from a square. I would love to be able to use predictive astrology better! Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. I need to decide soon if I am canceling the procedure.

I write about the many photos I've gathered over my years researching my family's history, and why they have given me, and so many others, so much pleasure.
One of my most prized possessions that I gained with my research is the thousands of pictures obtained from different family members over the years. It gives me joy anytime I'm able to locate the faces behind the census records. It's also a thrill whenever I can scan a picture and put it online to fill a gap in my family history. My collages of family photos have in the past connected families from generations of separation.
It's pretty amazing for me to share photos and have people comment on my Facebook. They may have seen a picture but didn't know who it was, but have now been given knowledge and history of individual in the picture.
Early opposition to collection
It has definitely been a benefit for me and my family in obtaining and scanning pictures. Memories of the past now have a chance to be identified and shared throughout the family, and for generations to come.
When I first started collecting pictures I was faced with a lot of opposition. It didn't matter if I told them that I was putting photos on my hard drive, in case of a fire or natural disaster. After meeting with relatives from New Orleans I learned that Hurricane Katrina was responsible for damaging thousands of photos held by family members. These are memories that they can't get back.
Naming the nameless figures
Over the years I was able to scan through thousands of photos of relatives who lived in Saint Landry Parish. I was able to give relatives pictures of their ancestors that they had never seen before.
Another interesting fact is that some people may know the connection of the people but don't know the name. That is where my research came in. For example, when I found a picture in Frilot Cove I was told that this man was the great grandfather of my host. The person who owned the original copy didn't know the name of the person, however, with my research I was able to identify who he was as well as tell him some interesting historical facts about the man in the photograph.
One of my best picture finds was locating an old shoebox of pictures of some of Opelousas, most influential in town, Creoles of Color. In that box was a picture of Dr. Raphael Emile DONATO, who was one of the first licensed physicians in the Town of Opelousas.
Family photos: a flood of memories
I have success stories of finding pictures for family members. I actually was able to locate one of my great Uncle Frank Lafleur's army photos. After his wife divorced him he left a lot of things behind and many were lost in the process, even his army photos. During a visit to his sister Lillian, in Eunice, Louisiana I found some of his army photographs. When I showed him the pictures he cried and attempted to give me money for the pictures. I refused and told him that he didn't owe me anything.

Subdural hematomas may occur in children as a presenting symptom of vascular disease or vascular malformations.
Kawasaki disease is a multisystem disorder characterized by vasculitis of small and medium arteries. Neurologic complications, including meningoencephalitis, monocyte-predominant pleocytosis in the CSF, facial nerve palsy, seizures, hemiplegia, and sensorineural hearing loss have been reported to occur in 1.1% to 3.7% of affected children.103105 Two papers detailing seven cases of SDH in children as young as 6 months have been reported.106 107 The SDH in these cases was hypothesized to be caused by vasculitis of dural vessels. All cases reported to date have been in living subjects with no fatalities or for whom postmortem findings had been reported.
Intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVM) and cavernous hemangioma are rare causes of neonatal intracranial haemorrhage.108 Neonatal subdural hemorrhage in association with AVM appears to have been reported only four times in the literature, although the principal author (G.R.) has dealt with a nonreported fatal case of SDH associated with a subtentorial meningeal AVM that initially was suspected to be a nonaccidental injury.
Cerebral aneurysms have a distinct male predominance (12:1), occurring most frequently in the distal middle cerebral artery distribution or the posterior circulation.109 They also have a higher incidence of large/giant aneurysms compared to adults. They are associated with head and birth trauma, infection (mycotic), fibro-muscular dysplasia, moyamoya disease, coarctation of the aorta, subacute bacterial endocarditis, collagen vascular disease, EDS, Marfan syndrome, syphilis, sickle cell anemia, and tuberous sclerosis. Rupture of the aneurysm may occur, resulting in intracranial hemorrhage. The case of a 7-month-old boy with SDH in association with a cluster of six basilar artery aneurysms was reported by Plunkett.110

I had to leave a Facebook group I'd rather stay part of last week. Unfortunately, they did not understand that social media is a pull, not push, medium.
Every day I'd log into Facebook, seems I'd find a message or two in my inbox from them. They were sending me news releases. OK, not even — they were copying and pasting links to news releases into the inboxes of every group member. I've talked before about overcommunication via social media streams, but pushing overcommunication directly upon an affinity group is even worse. And I prefer my inbox for personal messages, thank you.
Social media works best on demand. If you're trying to communicate, you do want to have an audience, know how to communicate and (one place the group failed) provide a message of value. The key is trying to pull them into an action: enticing them to read, to learn more, to engage … you're not force-feeding them information.
Your readers are engaged in pull as well — pulling in only the messages they want from the sources they want. It's like instead of picking up the paper and finding the opinion section and reading their favorite columnist, they merely pull in the latest column (blog) from that favored writer and don't deal with the rest of the old routine.
Admittedly, communicating via social media has its advantages over traditional PR. Normally, we'd send news releases to editors who may discard them, may cut them down to briefs, may incorporate them into a story or may (shockingly) run almost as is. Then we rely on the audience to pick up the newspaper that day, happen to go to that page, and find it interesting enough to read beyond the headline (which we don't necessarily control) and lead (ditto).
Facebook is a great example where, if you're communicating for your college, non-profit or organization, you're already finding your affinity group or customers. Or they're finding you. They've self-selected, made a conscious decision to be your friend, join your group, become a fan. They're receptive to messages if they provide some kind of value. They may accept a pushed message from you once in a while, but they've spent their whole life dealing with pushy salespeople in real life or on TV. If you repeatedly push messages upon them via social media, then you're no better than any car salesman shouting at them from a TV.
It's a new world, and new rules for communication. Actually, it's more complicated than that: In Web 2.0, every user sets his or her rules. We need to pay attention and do our best to figure out what they are. And know that as they change, so should we.

|Exhibit: A
When I came in this morning and checked off Week 20, it made me smile to see that Week 21 consists of the 20 mile run and then it is the beloved taper time for three weeks. It hasn't been a secret that over the last few weeks I have been plagued with some pretty nasty aches and pains. Some of it is normal for marathon training, but some of it has definitely taken me by surprise. On my run this morning things felt "alright", "iffy", "not great but I'll take it"....but I couldn't help but still be so happy and SO thankful to be running! Training has definitely not gone as planned but it never does. I haven't been able to get nearly enough hill sessions in because of injury/doctor's orders not to (worst marathon ever for that to happen - oh well), and I've had to split the mileage on my long runs to salvage my legs and keep things from getting worse. But you know what? I'm still running. I'm 21 weeks into this and still getting up every day and making the effort (as hobbled as it might be). You get so caught up in time goals for big races that sometimes you forget the bigger picture. The bigger picture that you're doing what so many are afraid to event attempt. You're part of the 1% of the population who willingly signs up for this craziness. With that being said, I've set some new goals for this race:
- Have FUN!
- You're running through one of the most beautiful and historic places, enjoy the damn scenery!
- Sing the Full House theme song while running across the Golden Gate Bridge...everywhere you look....
- Finish strong. No matter what time I cross the finish line, I better run through it.
- Find the course photographers (instead of avoiding them) and get some fun pictures taken!
- Don't poop your pants.
- Say a prayer of thanks for each mile marker you cross.
- Inspire others.
#8 Inspire Others - In the last three days I've had some really humbling conversations with a few people. People who want to better their health via just changing their diet and others who want to start running/exercising more. They say that I have inspired them in so many ways, but what they don't realize is how much they inspire me. I'm not the best, I'm not the fastest, but conversations like that are what keep me moving. As I run this race representing the Arthritis National Research Foundation , many of those prayers of thanks are just for the ability to be out there. Some people don't run marathons because of personal choice in thinking we're a bunch of lunatics, but many people can't simply because of something far out of their control. Don't take your health for granted...join the lunatic party. You'll ask yourself countless times during some of those bad runs "Why the hell did I sign up for this"" and in my case "Why the hell did I sign up for this, AGAIN?!". But I can PROMISE you that once you cross the finish line, your answer is always, "That's why." :)

A group of American University students burned U.S. flags on the D.C. campus Wednesday afternoon to protest Donald Trump's election as president, some shouting "F— white America!"
Several hundred students gathered in front of a campus center that holds the dining hall and classrooms, while protesters used matches and lighters to set several American flags ablaze. One student screamed: "This is a representation of America! We are going down in flames!"
Some students challenged the protesters, telling them that their words and actions amounted to hate speech. One person tried to grab a burning flag to try to put out the flames, and people were shouting at one another. At one point, some students began chanting "U.S.A.! U.S.A.!" and protesters — holding yellow signs that said, "Black Lives Matter," "Stand up to racism!" and "Stand against anti-Muslim bigotry" — responded with mocking profanity, according to a student watching the protest and counterprotest.
It was one of many campus protests nationwide Wednesday as college students lashed out after Trump's victory was assured; students on campuses with predominantly liberal politics said they were shocked and saddened by results.
Camille Lepre, a spokeswoman from American University, issued a written statement Wednesday evening: "About 200 students convened this afternoon in a protest to express their reactions to the presidential election outcome. The university supported the free expression of views on all sides of the political spectrum. The expressions were at times heated, but peaceful and safe. The university does not condone the burning of the American flag, even though the act is protected speech."
In video filmed at the protest, some people can be heard shouting that they have a right to political expression. (And others can be heard shouting, "Shut up!")
In a year when freedom of speech, race and a polarizing election have been hotly debated, the scene still upset many at American University and far beyond its campus.

Rocksteady Studios, the developer of Batman: Arkham Knight, revealed at EGX 2014 that the team is determined to deliver the "ultimate Batman" game. Speaking with IGN, Guy Perkins, Rocksteady's marketing manager, explained how the series has evolved ever since Batman: Arkham Asylum.
"We try to create that very cinematic story-telling experience through the game. Obviously Asylum was the starting point for that, but the intimate cat-and-mouse gameplay between the Joker and Batman really demanded it took place in the pressure cooker of the Asylum," said Perkins.
"So that had its place for that story, but then we took that into the open world to give players the next piece of the Batman armour as it were, which is the grappling gun and the ability to glide. The introduction of those pieces really required a bigger game world to support them, but then the big thing that was always missing for us was the Batmobile. It was always missing but wouldn't have worked in Asylum or City, so to build an open-world around that was crucial."
When discussing how Arkham Knight's nerrative and Joker's absence will affect the gameplay, Perkins stated that "the death of the Joker at the end of Arkham City has created a different world for the criminals of Arkham Knight. He's not there to disrupt the things they're doing, so you have to imagine a world where he's not there and not causing that chaos. They can get organised, work together and offer a more formidable challenge. He's at the peak of his powers, but without his nemesis there to cock things up for everyone else then they get the chance to be a bit stronger, a bit braver and do things differently."
"If people walk away thinking this is the ultimate Batman simulator, then our job is complete, we gave them Gotham City, we gave them Batman at the height of his powers and we gave them the Batmobile. I think those three elements come together to make a great game."
Batman: Arkham Knight launches on PS4, Xbox One and PC on the 2nd of June.

I've been trying hard to figure out what to write about three mountains in front of me.
During the last week, three separate friends have asked me to pray for their challenging situations. Each faces a similar huge trial. I don't want to describe the situations out of respect for their privacy. But suffice it to say that they are facing something where they feel out of their depth to even know where to start. Solving the problem is far from simple. The path to understanding is murky at best.
And I'm also totally out of my depth in trying to solve their problem. (One thing I've learned the hard way is that giving advice on something I'm ignorant about is like entering a dangerous field of land mines. If I were a lawyer, I'd start to think about liability issues if a friend took my advice and it blew up in their face.)
So it's off to the prayer rug. I've been praying for God's mercy and wisdom for my friends. For peace in the midst of waiting till things change – or understanding to know what to do if things don't change.
Two of my favorite verses of all time are Philippians 4:6-7. Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
I'm praying for God's peace to guard their hearts and their minds. And for that peace to be amazing as it settles in.
I rest in this: Matthew 19:26 – Jesus looked at them intently and said, "Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible."
Paul Merrill writes here every first Friday.

Who would've thought you could make money just by eating. Everyone's dream right?
Well, Dan How (The Bigger Body Coach), know's just how to do that. He is a fitness industry innovator and veteran personal trainer. He's even Mister Great Britain 2011!
Unfortunately, eating hasn't become a respected profession though. Yet. However, what you eat can be a second hand influence on the money you earn. At the end of the day, food is energy. And if you have more energy, you can get more work done. The more work you do, the more you get paid.
Taking that into consideration, surely we should be eating the right things to ensure that we have the right amount of money to have a great weekend? If only McDonald's didn't taste so good…
Dan is not just a personal trainer though, he is also a scaffolder, gardner and painter. Therefore, he knows what it's like to work on a construction site and how hard it can be sometimes to keep up energy levels. He describes, "I'm no handy man but I can shift a lot of weight and that itself comes in handy on a site."
"I'm not in to fitness cos I'm lazy and prefer to lay on a bench lifting weights BUT I can keep going non stop all day."
Why is this? He reveals that he has so much energy due to the food he eats!
He tends to see the same common things on the construction site though: Lucozade drinks, chocolate bars, coke and The Sun newspaper.
It's understandable that we eat all of these sugary things though right? Sugar is what provides us with energy. However, in reality, these sugary snacks and drinks aren't doing us any favours. And they certainly aren't allowing us to earn more money.
Instead, these sugary treats release a quick burst of energy into our systems. Then, a while later, we ultimately crash. The only thing that can lift us back up again after that, is some more sugar. That, then ultimately leads to our energy levels crashing again and a vicious cycle forms.
There is another group of foods you can eat though to increase your energy levels. Fat. And no, we don't mean the type of fat that hangs around your boss' waist either. You'll still be ripped for the lads holiday next year don't you worry.
So what do you eat? You haven't got a lot of options at the local cafe have you? Well, Dan recommends for you to stay away from "bread, toast, chips, hash browns and beans."
On the site though, Dan recommends that you should snack on things like nuts. You can have as many as you like and all different types. He personally likes to take a jar of peanut butter on site and eat it with a spoon on his breaks throughout the day alongside a pack of Baby Bell's.
You could also take things such as tuna, chicken or other healthy fish and meats. You may get a bit of stick from the lads on site though but you'll be the one laughing when your abs are pulling all the girls.
As for drinks though you haven't really got a lot of options. Most standard drinks contain a ridiculously high amount of sugar which will just make you crash again. Dan recommends to "stick with a big bottle of water and as much tea as you like (just go easy on the sugar)."
So there you go, the key components on how to increase your energy along with your wage. Don't fear though, this doesn't mean you have to cut out your favourite sugary foods completely out of your diet. Just eat them when you get home. Your energy levels will still crash but hey, you'll be going to sleep anyway.
What have you got to lose? Give it a go and let us know how you get on. You could even end up looking as good as Dan! Take a look at Dan's Facebook too for more inspiration: facebook.com/bigdanhow.
