Tools for tinkering
Whether you are trimming the lawn, hanging a picture, cutting through metal or sanding a surface, there's a tool for just about every job, ranging from mains-operated, electric-powered and robotic battery-powered lawn mowers, edge trimmers, garden vacuums and blowers to hand-held motor-operated or magnetically driven electric tools, including drills, screwdrivers, impact wrenches, grinders, planers, polishers and disk-type sanders, hammers, spray guns for non-flammable liquids, shears and nibblers, tappers and an array of saws (arm, band, bench, chain, circular, reciprocating jig and sabre). Also on the list are drain cleaners, cut-off machines, diamond drills with water supply and threading machines. IEC International Standards contribute towards the technical, functional and safety aspects of all these products.
Following the fads
IEC Technical Committees (TCs) have played a significant role in delivering the technologies, through the preparation of International Standards for components and parts used in these appliances, as well as of safety Standards.
IEC TC 116 was established in 2008 to manage the expanding scope of International Standards needed for the safety of hand-held motor-operated electric tools, transportable motor-operated electric tools, and garden appliances, while keeping pace with new technologies. Previously this work fell to a Subcommittee of TC 61: Safety of household and similar electrical appliances.
With a view to harmonizing its wide-ranging work, TC 116 began publishing a suite of International Standards in 2014. Unifying the three areas under IEC 62841, with around 90 publications, the Standard covers general and specific safety requirements of electric motor-operated hand-held tools (part 2), transportable tools (part 3) and lawn and garden machinery (part 4). It is expected to eventually replace the three Standards that preceded it.
Running through the safety drill
As well as taking full account of these Standards, users must take additional precautions to operate power tools as safely as possible. They include reading instruction guidelines, wearing protective clothing (footwear, goggles, masks) and being aware of their immediate working environment (water, heat or potentially explosive atmospheres). Some of the safety points in the Standard include:
- markings and instructions - warnings are marked on tools and contained in instruction manuals. There are also verbatim warnings, meaning these same warnings must be used by all manufacturers worldwide
- avoiding mechanical hazards, such as providing adequate blade guards for circular saws. This is a very important section of the Standard since there are specific requirements for different tools
- ensuring mechanical strength, so that the equipment endures during use
- protecting against electric shock
- testing equipment to avoid overheating, which could lead to fire or hazard
- making sure the tools are resistant to external heat, if so exposed
- testing in conditions of high moisture or dust
- providing adequate safety circuit breakers for cutting tools such as hedge trimmers. These allow the machinery to shut down automatically when contact is lost
Future trends
As the power tool industry continues to grow, cordless power tools will eventually overtake the corded segment. Following this trend, TC 116 is currently studying the possibility of increasing battery capacity for global markets which are constantly on the lookout for higher performing, more efficient products. It will also carry on its work to ensure hobbyists and professionals alike have the safest possible tools at their disposal.

To explore the prediction of myopia development from eye shape obtained by MRI in school children.
Healthy students were recruited from primary school (children, n=39, 11.5 ± 1.0y) or high school (adolescents, n=28, 17.7 ± 1.1y) in Wenzhou. Axial lengths (AL) were measured by IOLMaster, and the axial and cycloplegic peripheral spherical equivalents (SEs) were measured by autorefraction. MRI was used to measure transverse and sagittal planes through the center of the eyes. AL measured using MRIs were compared with that using IOLMaster to verify best sections for analysis of VC depth and measures of ocular shape (EQ/AL). The children were remeasured after 3.7 ± 1.3 ys and the adolescents after 4.6 ± 1.9 ys. The refraction rate and the AL rate was used as the dependent variable in linear regression models where the baseline data were used as independent covariates.
In both age groups, regardless of refractive state, IOLMaster and MR images of AL were significantly correlated (R2=0.90), and the MR scanning localization in transverse and sagittal sections were in good agreement (R2=0.86). Though the adolescents had higher myopia (-0.66 ± 1.10 D) and longer AL (24.15 ± 0.91 mm) than the children (-0.41 ± 0.76 D; 23.66 ± 0.63 mm), children had more active eye growth (dAL/D/yr: 0.13 ± 0.46 vs. 0.47 ± 0.50, p=0.006). The eye shape index from MRIs in both groups did not differ in transverse plane but in the sagittal plane the index in children was higher than that in adolescents (1.01 ± 0.04 vs. 0.98 ± 0.03, p<0.001). The best single baseline predictor of the change in SEs in children and the change in AL in adolescent was the on-axis SE at baseline, but it did not contribute to the multiple models. The significant predictors to the multiple models included baseline AL, the asymmetry from nasal to temporal 30o off-axis, sagittal eye shape index, the difference of the VCD from temporal 30o to on-axis, and the relative defocus on the tangential image shell at temporal off-axis 30° in both groups when the AL change as dependent variable (children: R2=0.327, p=0.029; adolescent: R2=0.376, p=0.016); and only in children (R2=0.312, p=0.038), not in adolescents (R2=0.267, p=0.103) all those parameters contributed to the multiple models when the SE change as dependent variable.
The eye shape index in sagittal section had contributed more to predicting eye growth in children compared to adolescents.

Reading it online requires a subscription (there's always the newsstand), but here are a few more excerpts:
The basic facts are these: Tuvalu's average elevation is about three feet above sea level, and water expands as it gets warmer. If current global-warming trends continue, the National Research Council predicts, the sea will rise by at least two feet in the next ninety years. Even if industrialized countries drastically reduce carbon emissions in the near future—and there is little reason to think they will—Tuvalu is in serious trouble.The author meets some foreign administrators of the Tuvalu Trust Fund, having dinner while on the island:
This is the story Tuvaluan officials like to tell. But as with any scientific story, even where there is broad consensus, the details are debatable. Global sea levels are rising, but not homogeneously. The fluid dynamics are too complex to model, but it's theoretically possible that, as in a sloshing bathtub, some parts of the Pacific will rise sharply while others will fall. And even where waters do rise, some scientists think islands will adapt and accrete. In fact, the only study to measure Funafuti's shoreline over time, published in June 2010, found that the atoll's area has grown, not shrunk, over the past twenty years. Even the environmentalists who sounded the alarm—-Tuvalu will sink in fifty years!—-admit that fifty is, at best, a guess.
I asked them whether they thought global warming posed an imminent threat, and Abbott made a sour face. "Don't ask me that," he said. "I'm not going to give you the answer you're looking for."and
"He's a skeptic about that stuff," Wrighton explained. "Me, I think global warming is real, but I do believe you can find science to support either side. And if you're one of these tiny countries, and this is the one issue that can get you traction internationally—'We're vulnerable, we're sinking'—wouldn't you use that to your advantage?"
"I agree with that," Abbott said, "in the sense that it's in the self-interest of Tuvalu to seem as pathetic as possible."
"But isn't there a contradiction?" I asked. "If you're asking for money to build a new school, yet the claim is that your land will be submerged in fifty years—"
"You can't have it both ways," the American consultant agreed.
Most development consultants I spoke to sounded comparably cynical. Why shouldn't the Tuvaluan government be complacent? Donors rewarded them for drawing attention to problems, not for finding solutions. Never mind that Tuvalu was staking its economic future on the claim that it had no future, or that Tuvaluans themselves did not seem truly convinced they were sinking. International aid was a marketing competition, and with sea-level rise, Tuvalu had found its niche."

We are calling for fridge freezer manufacturers to act now to make their products safer.
Despite seven deaths and 71 serious injuries in London since 2010, we believe most manufacturers are still dragging their heels on making fire safety improvements.
There is, on average, one fridge freezer fire a week in the capital and we have been lobbying the industry to make their fridges and freezers more fire resistant for the last three and a half years.
Fridges and freezers are of particular concern to us because they contain large amounts of plastic and highly flammable insulation, which, if ignited, can cause large, rapidly developing fires that spread quickly, giving off highly toxic gases.
The doors and side panels of most fridges and freezers are usually covered in metal but we are concerned that many still use a flammable plastic backing which offers very little protection against the highly flammable insulation catching alight if a fire starts.
We are calling on the industry to ensure the backs of fridge freezers are made of non combustible or fire retardant materials as standard.
London Fire Brigade Deputy Commissioner Rita Dexter said: "Every home has a fridge or freezer and the chances are it will be plugged in and working safely for years but it is no exaggeration to say that they are potentially the most dangerous household appliances if they are involved in a fire.
"They contain large amounts of highly flammable foam insulation, often only protected by a thin plastic covering. This can be a recipe for disaster if a fault occurs or if a fire spreads from somewhere else to the fridge or freezer. They are also one of the few electrical items in your home to be always left on and these fires pose an even greater risk if they start when people are sleeping.
"Putting a simple non-combustible or fire retardant covering at the back of appliances is a relatively simple change that manufacturers can make and one that we believe would reduce the number of injuries, and potentially deaths, caused by fires involving fridges and freezers."
The issue hit the headlines in September last year at the inquest into the death of Santosh Benjamin Muthiah from Harrow who lost his life in a house fire which originated in a fridge freezer. After the hearing, following a submission from London Fire Brigade, the Coroner reported on the serious risk posed to the safety of consumers by the lack of any requirement to use non-flammable materials to protect the highly flammable insulation from ignition.
Shocking footage filmed by the Brigade at the BRE testing facility clearly shows the dangers of having a fridge or freezer with a flammable plastic backing.
In a controlled burn test the plastic backed fridge freezer was well alight after just 90 seconds and had to be extinguished after just two and a half minutes as the fire was starting to overwhelm the testing room, while the fire set in the metal backed appliance, never really took hold, and burned for about 20 minutes before self extinguishing.
Here's how a metal backed fridge performed in comparison
If you think there may be a problem with any of your refrigeration appliances our advice is to always unplug it and to contact the manufacturer or a qualified repair technician. You can also check if an electrical product is subject to a recall by looking at this data base.
Finally ensure you have a smoke alarm, check regularly that it works and plan how you would get out in the event of a fire.

The Bruins have traded Tim Thomas to the Islanders. So instead of not playing in Boston, Tim Thomas will not be playing in Uniondale. The Bruins received a conditional 2nd round pick in either 2014 or 2015. What pick the Bruins get will depend on if Thomas plays for the Islanders this season.
So the Bruins no longer have to bear Tim Thomas's $5 million cap hit. And the Islanders were able to reach the minimum salary cap number without paying a player. That's a nice little loophole the Islanders found.
And maybe finally, Bruins fans can stop being melodramatic about what Thomas did, since he no longer has an impact on the salary cap. The word from Thomas's agent is that things are still "status quo" for the now former Bruins goalie. At the moment, he seems just as uninterested in playing for the Islanders as he was to play for the Bruins.
The Bruins no longer have to carry the burden of his cap hit. So it's time to get over it, people.
And if you want to accuse Thomas of being selfish, and not putting his team first, the Bruins were very honest with him that they were looking to move him to another team. So is Thomas disloyal to Boston and the Bruins because he didn't want to stick around and be traded away from Boston and the Bruins? He should have been loyal to the team that didn't want him?
Of all the selfish things athletes sometimes do, deciding to take a year off, and forfeit $3 million in salary to do it, does not seem to be high on the scale. I have yet to hear or read a coherent argument that what Thomas did is especially selfish and deserves as much crap as some Bruins fans enjoy heaping onto him.
The level of criticism he's been the subject of has greatly outweighed what he did.
And if you think Thomas wasn't a good teammate, remember this?
And for the surly and sour people out there who still dislike Thomas, please don't wear any Bruins Stanley Cup hats or t-shirts. You wouldn't have those without Thomas.

I posted on my facebook page about the Waldo Canyon Fire that is threatening Colorado Springs and the surrounding towns. Our home is currently safe, but the conditions remain dangerous. As part of the Waldo Canyon fire, the nearby town of Manitou Springs was evacuated during the night. If you had to leave your house in the middle of the night, would you be ready to go? Until today, I would have been scrambling. And, at 1:30 AM, I can assure you, I am not at my best.
My first order of business was to put together a few bags that could easily be grabbed. These would have the items we would need if we had to vacate our home quickly and move into a shelter. I know many of you also live in natural disaster zones – hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados – if you have anything you'd add, please leave a comment!
I packed three bags. The first was a backpack I was given last year at Blogher, and the other two were bags my mom got as a free gift with purchase. They are kinda girlie, but they were free and readily available to pack.
The bags were divided into three categories: Consumables, Comfort, & Care.
The idea is to try to have enough food for 72 hours. These supplies fall short, but would provide snacks in case we were stuck in traffic vacating town or if we needed to be in a shelter. The packed items include:
- Protein Bars – (10)
- Beef Jerky
- Fruit Leathers
- Peanut Butter
- Tuna
- Cereal
- Ravioli
- Pineapple Slices
- Pet food & treats
- Starbucks Via **Total comfort consumable**
You might notice I didn't include water. What I chose to do was to put a case of water under our bags. These could easily be loaded into the car and would provide more water than what a bag could hold.
I packed this bag with all the items that would make us more comfortable should we have to live in a shelter. If we left without this bag, we'd be ok, but we wouldn't be as comfortable. Items included are:
- New underwear for all family members
- Socks for each family member
- Washcloths
- Wipes
- Feminine Hygiene
- Deodorant
- Chapstick
- Toothpaste, toothbrushes, floss
- Soap
- Lotion
- Comb
- Kleenex
- Eye drops
- **Hair Ties & Ball Cap – personal addition. I'm thinking we won't be paying much attention to our hair!
- **Card Game – again, a personal item addition to try to make an ugly situation bearable.
The idea behind the care bag is what would be REALLY need to take care of our family in a true survival situation. Packed items include:
- Contact lens case & solution
- OTC medications (if anyone in your family requires a prescription, you'd want to pack a 3 day supply.)
- First aid kit
- Sewing kit
- Rain ponchos
- Flashlight
- Batteries
- Scissors
- Heavy duty trash bags
- Sunscreen
- Work gloves
- Candles
- Lighter
- Can opener
- **I included hand and toe warmers since we live in CO.
I now have the three Emergency Evacuation Bags hanging outside our garage door ready to grab and throw in the car.
I also have cases of water stashed below. Now, in the event of an evacuation, I know I will have the basic supplies ready to go!

WePAC is honored to have been chosen as a finalist for The Wawa Foundation Hero Award. Please cast your vote online to help us win the $50,000 grand prize, and read our press release below!
West Philadelphia literacy non-profit vies for superhero status
West Philadelphia Alliance for Children seeks public support in quest to win prestigious award and $50,000 grand prize
PHILADELPHIA, June 20, 2017 – Heroes don't always wear capes – sometimes they carry books. The West Philadelphia Alliance for Children (WePAC) has long referred to its volunteers as "reading superheroes." Now the organization, a non-profit inspiring youth through the power of school libraries, is looking for the public's support to make that moniker official – and to help it continue to bring access to books to thousands of schoolchildren in some of the city's most underserved neighborhoods.
WePAC is one of four nonprofits competing for The Wawa Foundation Hero Award and its $50,000 grand prize. An online vote will determine the winner.
Members of the public can visit the foundation's website at www.thewawafoundation.org/hero-award/ to cast their vote. Voting is open now and closes June 29.
The Wawa Foundation Hero Award honors a non-profit organization serving the greater Philadelphia area that assists others and builds stronger communities through preserving our independence, protecting our safety and mentoring and inspiring youth.
"WePAC is honored to be in the running for this award," said Heather Farber, Executive Director of WePAC. "Our team of 150+ dedicated library volunteers helps students to love learning to read before they must read to learn. And that's really important given the correlation between reading levels and dropout rates." A child's reading ability at the end of 3rd grade is a key predictor of dropout risk. About two thirds of Philadelphia public school children fall below benchmark on the state's English language arts proficiency exam.
WePAC promotes childhood literacy by engaging volunteers in Philadelphia public schools through reopening and staffing libraries while offering academic mentoring to students in need.
"The vast majority of Philadelphia's public schools lack a functioning library due to budgetary constraints," explained Farber. "The simple truth is that all students benefit when there is a library in their school, but low income students need the most, benefit the most."
WePAC's achievements this school year included bringing school library programming to nearly 5,000 students; delivering 15,000 hours of volunteer service; operating libraries across 14 schools; and gifting new books to over 1,000 3rd graders to promote summer reading.
The Wawa Foundation Hero Award was launched during Philadelphia's 2016 Wawa Welcome America! festivities and will be presented as part of the Independence Day morning ceremony on July 4th, 2017 in front of Independence Hall. The recipient of The Wawa Foundation Hero Award will receive a $50,000 grant and the three runners up will each receive $10,000 grants.
Other finalists for the award are Emily's Entourage, which raises money and awareness to help find a cure for cystic fibrosis, with a focus on rare mutations; Lighthouse Inc., which provides educational, recreational and economic improvement programs to families and individuals across North Philadelphia communities; and Operation Yellow Ribbon of South Jersey, which sends care packages to U.S. troops in the Middle East and helps welcome home local veterans in South Jersey.
WePAC (www.wepac.org) is the only organization in Philadelphia working systematically to re-open closed libraries and bring library programming back to schools. This school year WePAC's team of dedicated volunteer "reading heroes" operated library programming in Anderson, Blankenburg, Cassidy, Cook Wissahickon, Global Leadership Academies West and South West, Gompers, Hamilton, Heston, Lea, Longstreth, McMichael, Powel, and Rhoads schools.
WePAC is a partner of Read by 4th, a citywide coalition managed by the Free Library of Philadelphia focused on getting Philadelphia schoolchildren at grade level for reading by 4th grade.
About WePAC
Established during the 2003-2004 school year as an outgrowth of a suburban/urban outreach project between Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church and many civic groups, today the West Philadelphia Alliance for Children is a wholly independent and non-sectarian 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation.
After the School District of Philadelphia began closing school libraries in a drastic attempt to address the widening budget gap, the current face of WePAC was born, stepping in with library and literacy programming. Since 2009, WePAC has re-opened and operated volunteer-run libraries in Philadelphia public schools. This academic year, WePAC operated libraries in 14 schools and offered a one-on-one literacy mentoring program, Library Buddies, in several schools.

Dealsncash is famous for its high reward, each mail is worth $0.01 (YES 1 cent) so don't expect to receive more than 10 to 20 emails per week and sometimes less, it depends on the interests in your profile.
They have a moderately High minimum payout of $30, but the good news is that they give you a sign up bonus of $5 to make it easier for you to reach their minimum, and another great thing is your referral bonus which is 100% for only 1 level.
Now how much does it take from your time? The truth is: barely nothing.
Why? Because their emails are not bothering at all. You will not receive 100 emails a day for tiny fractions of cents like other programs. Depending on the interests you have chosen you will receive 5 to 10 emails per week when your membership starts later the number of emails would accelerate.
Important Tip: you can read your mail in the site mail box and every month or so change the interests in your profile to receive all their campaigns' emails and Make More Money!!
Now a little math: First forget about the 5$ sign up bonus, if you are in the US, Canada or UK and don't have referrals you need around 12 months of clicking to accumulate $30 but suppose you had only "2" active 1st level referrals so the time to make the $30 will drop to 6 months. Now how much can you make with "8" active 1st level referrals? The answer is you will receive $30 every 1 and a half months so the upside potential of making money with Dealsncash is huge...
Now a small tip to put you on the right track: In order to boost your income from referrals, I suggest you join www.bidvertiser.com and take advantage of their offer of $20 in FREE Clicks.
All you have to do is advertise your dealsncash referral link and you can get at least 5 to 10 referrals from US or Canada with this credit. This could double or more your income from dealsncash.
Either you continue your ads or if want to withdraw from bidvertiser make sure to stop your campaign before the $20 credit finish in order not to charge your credit card.
I like Dealsncash because You can make money from it! Keep this in your mind!
Good Luck!

Went shopping with Leo at a few local thrift store for funny back to school t-shirts and Levis and need up with a good sized haul. When Leo called us all in the living room to bask in his great finds he was modeling a pair jeans.
"Aren't these great?!" he exclaimed as he pulled off the "32/32" tag stapled to the waist. But when he put his cellphone in his pocket it stuck halfway out, "These pockets are really little. Wait a minute, are these girl pants?!" He quickly unbuttoned 'em, pulled down the back and frantically asked Kieran to read the size tag. She laughed and said, "They're a 12!". Leo shrieked "NOOOOOOOO!", ripped them off as if they were on fire and ran out of the room in his briefs while simultaneously doing a frantic spastic dance.
We haven't seen him since. But we have been leaving food out on the back steps.

Why is Microflotation a better Approach?
Flotation processes have been known since the Middle Ages. Already in 1640 was the first time about the "float" the floating-gold, ore and coal particles reported in wooden tubs. They injected the flotation air simply with bellows. Technically, such a method has not changed since a lot with most service providers. The principle of flotation (Dissolved Air Flotation = DAF), developed in the 1950'ies consists of hydrophobic particles attached to gas bubbles being transported to the surface by the ascending bubbles, where they can be removed as flotation foam or sludge using suitable bearings and lots of flocculation chemistry. Moreover, there are many application areas in which Microflotation is superior or represents a convincing addition to membrane, microfiltration or filtration procedures, meaning that problems such as fouling and scaling processes cannot occur with microflotation.
- Non-chemical treatment (in the most application)
- High hydraulical rates and high TSS concentration inflow rates on a very small footprint
- Easy and rapid integration to retrofit microflotation technology into existing WWTP
- Easy steps to upgrade existing DAF units into microflotation plants
- Low energy consumption
- Maintenance free operation
- Automatic self-cleaning technology iFloat®
What's truly amazing is what you can do with micro-bubbles.
The secret of ultimate flotation technique is the generation of homogenous microbubbles and laminar flow conditions. With the development of the revolutionary and internationally patented AQUATECTOR® Microfloat® microflotation, we offer an unrivalled fine-bubble physical separation process. Dense, homogeneous micro-bubbles generate extremely high interphases and enable in most cases separation of almost 100 % of settleable and filterable matter. At the same time, AQUATECTOR® Microfloat® systems attain extremely high dry matter contents in the separated flotation sludge. At an operational pressure of less than 3 bar, the AQUATECTOR® pressure saturation process continuously generates micro-bubbles with a diameter of 30 – 50 μm. They form a fog-like filter cushion and finely microfloat suspended and solid matter. Energy consumption of a typical AQUATECTOR® Microfloat® unit is starting from 7,5Wh/m3.
And we can't wait to see which problem we can solve for you.

enviplan® has redefined flotation technology. Again.
The complexity of many production processes, however, requires sometimes need-based and cost effective dosage of flocculants for the targeted removal of certain wastewater constituents. Now we again have invented something new, the enviplan® Autopilot®. And we are now even more than one step ahead: enviplan® Autopilot® provides ultimate control and adaptive dosing of flocculation chemicals, and operation of a microflotation plant depending on fluctuating pollution of the wastewater. It supervises your entire wastewater process by a visual control App. This offers visual and parametrized control and documentation of your entire process. enviplan® Autopilot® allows optimum control, saves money and energy and ensures adherence to your regulation limits. How does it work? Sensors detect relevant wastewater matrix parameters in your wastewater, such as pH, electrical conductivity, TSS, turbidity, etc. An optical control unit with image memory units control all relevant plant components and allows complete documentation. The data are measured independently for the inlet and outlet of the microflotation. A central controller determines the chemical demand and offers adaptive dosing of flocculants depending on the inlet conditions. Sounds simple? It is! Sounds expensive? No, it isn't! Please check: We are pleased to offer you a concept to equip your wastewater plant with enviplan® Autopilot®.

The accident occurred at the entrance to Surin Beach at about 4:50pm.
At the scene officers found the tourist, who they later named as Rajif Defnani, from India, on the ground. He was wearing a helmet at the time but suffered concussion, facial injuries and a large gaping gash to his right knee.
The Yamaha M-Slaz motorbike Mr Defani was riding was heavily damaged, still jammed under the front of the truck.
Rescue workers from Cherng Talay Tambon Administration Organisation (OrBorTor) administered first aid at the scene and transported Mr Defani to Thalang Hospital.
At the scene the truck driver, Wichitchai Perngporphan, 44, told police that he was driving from Patong back to the company office of Chockchai Kreuasant Co Ltd in Baan Manik when the accident happened.
Mr Wichitchai said that while driving down the hill toward Bang Tao, the tourist pulled out from the beach entrance and cut across the front of his truck.
He said he was unable to brake in time to avoid hitting the motorbike.
Police had Mr Wichitchai bring himself and the truck to the police station and said were continuing their investigation. Officers have yet to announce if any charges will be pressed over the incident.


text: The first federally approved clinical trial on marijuana as a treatment for post-traumatic stress is now underway. Researchers on Monday began administering marijuana to the first participant of a trial approved by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Food and Drug Administration, with an intention to create a cannabis-based legal prescription drug, reports Military.com. The $2.2 million trial, funded by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, will test four different potencies of medical marijuana by allowing 76 veterans to smoke it, according to the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). "We are thrilled to see this study overcome the hurdles of approval so we can begin gathering the data," Amy Emerson said in a written statement from MAPS. "This study is a critical step in moving our botanical drug development program forward at the federal level to gather information on the dosing, risks and benefits of smoked marijuana for PTSD symptoms." Dr. Sue Sisley, the trial's lead researcher, has attempted to launch similar trials for several years before finally gaining approval for the current trial. She believes veterans are now desperate for some sort of treatment for PTSD. "I could never reach that level of relief with traditional medications, so I knew I had to keep going," Sisley told Military.com. Researchers are still looking for vets suffering from PTSD to help researchers study the clinical trial. Volunteers will visit clinics located at either the Scottsdale Research Institute in Arizona and John Hopkins University in Baltimore for a total of 17 times throughout a 12-week period.


text: A little prep will help you hold the line on nuisance charges and fees. June 1, 2010 By Thomas M. Anderson, Associate Editor Editor's Note: This story has been updated since its original publication. 1. Get ahead of the curve. Your goal is not to pay for insurance you already have. So before you hit the rental desk, find out what coverage your auto policy and credit-card benefits provide. First, call your insurer. Then call the toll-free number on the credit card you'll use to pay for the rental.2. Who covers what. Your auto policy generally covers rental-car damage. If, however, you've dropped comprehensive or collision coverage on your car, the rental car will not be covered if it is stolen or damaged in an accident. Your credit-card benefits supplement your auto coverage. Most cards will pick up your deductible, and premium cards offer beefier coverage. But credit-card protection doesn't include liability. Sponsored Content 3. You may not need extra insurance. The clerk behind the desk will offer you a collision damage waiver (sometimes called a loss damage waiver), which can cost $10 to $20 per day. The CDW shields you if the rental car is damaged or stolen. But as long as the rental is for personal use and you have collision coverage, your own insurance will cover the rental (with the same deductibles that apply to your own car). Advertisement 4. But it could come in handy. Even if you have coverage through your auto insurance, you may want to take the CDW. It will help you avoid the hassle of your insurer's claims process and keep an accident off your record. Plus, car-rental agencies have been slapping customers with hefty "loss of use" and administrative fees. Most states do not include "loss of use" coverage in their standard auto policies; only Connecticut, Louisiana, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island and Texas require such coverage. Caveat: By accepting the waiver from the rental-car company, you void the terms of your credit card's insurance benefits. 5. It gets complicated overseas. Generally, your auto insurance does not cover you when you rent a car abroad, although some policies may apply when you drive in Canada and Mexico (check with your insurer). Many credit-card companies withhold coverage in countries with lousy accident records. For example, American Express and MasterCard exclude Australia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica and New Zealand. Of the countries on that list, Visa takes issue with Ireland, Israel and Jamaica. 6. Bring your own GPS. Rental-car companies will nickel-and-dime you for bonus equipment, such as GPS units, which can cost $12 per day, and child car seats, about $10 per day. Bring your own digital music player and connectors to use as an alternative to satellite radio ($3 per day). 7. Gas up on your own. If you are in a hurry, paying for a full tank of gas ahead of time will save you the hassle of filling up on the way to the airport. But if you plan ahead, you can locate cheaper gas than the rate quoted at the counter. Plus, unless you expect to run through a full tank on your trip, you might be paying for fuel you don't use. 8. Help move the fleet. You might get a seasonal deal if you drive a rental one way from Florida (because you're helping the company move equipment). In April, Alamo offered one-way rentals from Florida to any other state in the continental U.S. for as little as $10 per day.

Jewelry designer Mrinalini Chandra — one of the most coveted names in the industry today — clearly has an affinity for all things whimsical. She has, after all, turned chairs into bejewelled adornments and fishes into ornamental shawls. With 'endless love, laughter and happily ever after' as her mantra, Chandra has taken it upon herself to give fashion jewelry a couture update with dollops of handcrafted finesse. Her pieces are a perfect marriage of complementary contradictions — old-school yet modern, vintage yet eclectic, trendy yet timeless. What's more, her army of patrons include the who's who of fashion favourites like Sonam Kapoor, Esha Gupta, Asin, Jacqueline Fernandez, Kalki Koechlin, Karisma Kapoor, Parineeti Chopra and more.
Tell us about your foray into jewellery design and about the launch of the brand.
Like many young girls, accessories always held a special place in my wardrobe but it was only much later that I realized that it was my professional calling. The more time I spent learning about the delicate nature of jewelry during college (editor's note: she received her masters from the Creative Academy, Milan and Fashion and Lifestyle Accessory Design degree from NIFT, New Delhi), its profound relationship with the wearer drew me to explore this particular art form further. I honed my skills at Tanishq and Mont Blanc before officially launching my label at Lakme Summer Resort 2014.
Your brand is well known for giving the Indian aesthetic a modern twist. Tell us more about the thoughts and ideas behind your various collections.
Creating aspirational wearable art has always my ultimate dream and Indian handicraft techniques and textiles have always inspired me. It was perhaps this love for delicate and intricate handcrafted artworks that made me pick a field that allows me to indulge in the same. I am very hands-on with my work. I think of myself as more of an artisan — I like to sit with the metal and create new things using my bare hands. Truth be told, there's nothing quite as fulfilling.
What are your key inspirations?
I draw inspiration from everything around me. Variety inspires me. It's the love for experimenting with design that leads me to create dynamic forms while keeping the beauty of the pattern intact. There is scope for so many new things and that challenges me to experiment and take risks in terms of material, forms, craft, techniques etc. Since I love traveling, I often take several cues from art and architecture too. Nature, of course, has been a ubiquitous influence across my collections.
What are the top trends and must-have jewellery pieces this season?
Palm cuffs, hath phools and hair accessories are reigning trends at the moment. For someone who likes to go that extra mile with their jewelry, our unique introductions like metal scarves composed of a fish motif, arm spring, elbow cuffs, fingertip rings, gajra hair pins and maathapattis should be go-tos.
Which pieces dominate your personal jewellery box? Tell us about your go-to pieces.
My personal jewellery box is dominated by statement earrings and glass bangles. I also love tribal finds and a lot of my personal jewelry pieces have been acquired during my various travels around the globe. I believe in allowing one accessory to dominate my look and avoid unnecessary clutter.
Do you have an advice on the right way to accessorize?
It is quite interesting to see people accessorize in unexpected ways today. Experimentation is essential and the wearer must always style the accessory in a manner that stays true to their aesthetic. After all, it's this individual touch that gives jewelry life. I sometimes see people falter when picking the right jewelry for an outfit — the key is that the two should complement each other but never clash and fight for the limelight. A lot of thought needs to be put into this, particularly if you wish to go OTT. Balance is everything.
Which are your favorite pieces from Luxemi's collection?
I absolutely love the glass kundan earrings available on Luxemi — they promise to give any Indian outfit such an interesting facelift!

"Surround yourself with the best people you can find, delegate authority, and don't interfere as long as the policy you've decided upon is being carried out."
– Ronald Reagan
Delegation is many times fraught with difficulty. Last month I talked about "releasing" control to your most trusted and dependable subordinates in order to move your departments toward self-reliant success. This is the highest form of delegation. Delegation comes in many forms however.
Simply defined, delegation is assigning work to others. Depending on the work, the simple definition can tend to be not so simple. Some managers are good at it. Others struggle. The reasons for the struggles are wide and varied:
· Lack of trust
· Urgency and deadlines
· Matching the proper skill set to the selected task
· Failure by management to fully explain the project
· Failure by the subordinate to fully grasp the concept being explained
· Improperly trained staff
· Lack of tools to properly process and complete the work
· Lack of SOP to guide the process when obstacles are encountered
The biggest failure in delegation however happens when a properly delegated task is re-visited, altered, or otherwise retained by the delegator. It's impossible to hand off an assignment, if you refuse to let go of it. Many times the tendency to over-manage a delegated task has to do with the first item on the list…a lack of trust that your assignee will "get it right". Other times the compulsion to meddle is driven by new ideas and the desire to change things "on the fly". Making changes "midstream" however, usually makes the project impossible to complete on time, and with any semblance of continuity.
One day I was speaking with our technical director at our dealership. This employee was my right-hand man for delegation activities when it came to technical issues. He shared a story with me once about delegation that fits nicely here:
"Before coming to my current employer, I worked for a small company that did light manufacturing, sales and training. The owner of the company is a great guy and good friend to this day. It was however sometimes very difficult to work with him. We had projects to complete and goals to reach and we had the technical and financial resources to do these things. I would get involved with a project, get it 90% complete just in time for the owner to step in and make a change, effectively wiping out all (or a significant portion) of the work I had done. Moving forward, I would be almost done with the new changes and he would come up with some other idea.
What was worse, was that after he threw a wrench into things, he would move on to something else and not make himself available to answer any questions or provide any further input. At first I questioned my own abilities; I thought that he kept slowing things down because I wasn't doing my job well enough. Others in the industry were always complimenting me, even offering me jobs from time to time. So, while I could always improve, the problem couldn't be completely with me.
This manger was creative and talented but didn't necessarily manage projects well, especially when the project required other people to be involved in the process. We all could have gotten a lot more done if he'd just set some specific goals, assigned them to someone, and waited for the results without getting unnecessarily involved.
I believe that we lost out on some good business ventures with larger, very prestigious companies because of this kind of inefficiency. Because of constant delays, we could never manage to deliver on time. Luckily this business is still going strong but in a different, perhaps smaller way. I may be wrong but I believe in delegation; tell someone what you want, and provide a suitable time frame for completion. If they don't deliver and the requests were reasonable, find somebody else to do it. Constantly meddling just stifles things, and the result never has the quality you had originally envisioned".
This story defines what I would refer to as "delegation abuse". It highlights just how important proper delegation is. This was a case of the management selecting the right person for the task, but indecision, perfectionism, and possibly lack of trust impeded the process. In the end, it diluted the efforts of a qualified and motivated employee.
Many managers struggle with this type of interference because of they cannot imagine anyone on the team being able to do the job as well as them. The personal risk to their ego presents an obstacle that is difficult for them to conquer.
As leaders, it's important to not only admit, but moreover embrace that just because we have been chosen for a leadership position, does not mean that we "automatically" have been imbued with knowledge from on high, and are now in a position of being superior in every way to our subordinates. Being a leader has nothing to do with being superior. During my tenure in this industry, I have led many people who were superior to me in education, technical prowess, computer skills, accounting and a host of other ways. Being a leader is understanding and capitalizing on the idea that every team member has skills and abilities that are requisite for success. When you carry this posture, the participants on the team feel needed, and valued. This calls up a desire within all of them to willingly apply their unique abilities for the benefit of the project. They no longer view delegation as management's way to deflect burdensome work "down the line". Sadly, this is how delegation is viewed in far too many organizations.
Delegation is a management tool that carries with it the danger of being improperly used, or over-used. The best delegators make it look like an art form. To be adept at delegation managers must take great care in choosing what they delegate, and to whom. If a manager delegates a complex task to an individual that is not capable or trained in performing the work, then the natural human response of the manager would be to "meddle" in the execution of the task. Matching the people who have the right education, skills and experience to your most important tasks is required if you want delegation to work in ways that make the team stronger.
As a leader of multiple aftermarket departments, I have observed service managers that were approached on a regular basis with employees saying:
· Can't we just send him (untrained technician) to do the repair since he's already in the area?
· Can't she (file clerk) just file those warranties so we can catch up?
· And there's even the enthusiastic but underqualified team member trying to convince the boss: "I can handle it", only to fail, disappoint a customer, and feel disenfranchised and frustrated in the end.
This highlights the need not only to understand and enact proper delegation, but also to TEACH proper delegation inside your company. Crew foremen, dispatchers, service writers and project managers are employees whose entire pathway to success depends on their ability to skillfully assess the need, and consider the knowledge and ability of the participants, before assigning tasks.
Delegation cannot be properly executed by just throwing assignments out to your subordinates and expecting things to get accomplished. Does it make sense to delegate rebuilding a transmission to an entry level apprentice? Of course not. A manager must understand that his subordinates all have different personalities, skill levels, tolerances, habits, ideals, and backgrounds, and that all those things have the tendency to change as time goes by.
The best way to teach delegation, is to be transparent in your own use of it. When delegating important tasks, explain WHY you selected the person who will be performing the work. Take the opportunity to recognize their unique qualifications. This may not be appropriate for every assignment, but when done properly, this not only "connects the dots" for the employee, but it also sets up an expectation of excellence, that many employees will take seriously.
When you train someone on a new process, explain that the reason for the training is so that they can be a resource for the team. Once trained, let them know that they will be called on to perform delegated tasks using the new skills being taught. Do this purposefully, and your subordinates will start to understand the power of delegation and what it can mean for them, the customers they serve, and the company they work for.

AVL EXCITE™ is an innovative rigid and flexible multi-body dynamics software solution for powertrain analysis. This powertrain development tool calculates the dynamics, durability, vibration and acoustics of combustion engines, transmissions and entire ICE-based or electrified powertrains. The AVL Solution The continuing demand for the improvement of modern powertrain efficiency, along with reduced CO2 emissions and fuel consumption poses great challenges for OEMs. Additionally, balancing these efficiencies with the increased power and torque expected by drivers leads to higher mechanical and thermal loads on powertrain components. This raises the risk of acoustic problems due to higher or additional excitations. EXCITE is a simulation tool that supports the modelling of components, subsystems and complete powertrains with different levels of detail. This is adapted to analysis demands, ensuring an optimum balance between simulation effort and accuracy. High Resolutions, High Flexibility Detailed thermal elasto-hydrodynamic contact models (EHD) for slider bearings, pistons and piston rings, and 3D gear contact models with the real tooth profiles are possible. This enables in-depth investigations with accurate results for durability, friction, wear and acoustics. The best possible computational efficiency is achieved by a strong numerical coupling between structure dynamics and elasto-hydrodynamics. For the analysis of hybrid powertrains and e-drives, various modeling levels are provided. This enables the consideration of torsional and radial electro-mechanical coupling and the excitation of e-motors. Application-specific pre- and post-processing tools and workflows, such as numerical transfer path analysis and airborne noise calculation for acoustic investigations are included. These complement AVL's solution and enable an efficient and supportive analysis workflow. Further benefits of AVL EXCITE include This predictive simulation software reduces the need for prototyping and helps to avoid expensive troubleshooting Short project lead times due to high computational efficiency and application oriented, automated post-processing Environment to customize result data evaluation and report generation by own developed apps and workflows
AVL BOOST™ is a fully integrated IC engine simulation software. It delivers advanced models enabling accurate prediction of engine performance, tailpipe emissions and acoustics. Engine Performance Can I re-use my collected 1D data from the concept phase for more detailed 3D modelling and vice versa? Can I optimize the transient response considering mechanical inertia and gas dynamic effects (eg. turbolag)? Exhaust Gas Aftertreatment How closely do the simulation results correlate with real world driving emissions (RDE)? Can I calculate individual components as well as the whole exhaust aftertreatment system? Duct Acoustics Can I predict orifice noise and design brandsound? Can I calculate linear acoustic simulation without requiring additional engine data? The Solution AVL BOOST™ provides a comprehensive species transport for a high level of flexibility regarding fuel composition and working gas. This is accomplished with an internal solver for chemical reactions. Coupled with AVL FIRE™ users are able to accurately account for 3D flow and heat transfer effects in pipes, manifolds and combustion chamber. Identical modelling of physics and chemistry in aftertreatment systems empowers engineers, designers and developers to seamlessly switch between 1D and 3D models at any stage of the development phase. The flexible AVL BOOST™ 3D-approach to simulate linear acoustics delivers highly accurate solutions even in high frequency ranges. The Added Value High-level support by AVL engineers located worldwide Software development and advancement driven by AVL powertrain expertise Consistent 1D and 3D aftertreatment simulation in AVL BOOST™, AVL FIRE™ and AVL CRUISE™ Easy integration into third party environments
AVL CRUISETM M is a multi-disciplinary vehicle system simulation tool. It can be used in the office for powertrain concept analysis, sub-system design and virtual component integration. Alternatively it can be put to use in HiL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) environments for control function development and in testbed environments. Powertrain Concept Analysis With AVL CRUISETM M vehicle makers can predict fuel efficiency and performance early in the concept phase. This can even be achieved when little vehicle data is available. It enables the modelling of the driveline, electric network and control strategies, while showing their impact upon energy consumption and emissions. The software's flexibility allows to switch easily between conventional, hybrid and electric powertrain concepts. Sub-System Analysis By deploying AVL CRUISE™ M you are able to model different physical domains, including thermodynamics, mechanical and chemical systems, flow and electric. This allows for the detailed design layout and optimization of numerous sub-systems, such as: Engine gas exchange and combustion Exhaust gas aftertreatment system Driveline Cooling circuit Electric network Hydraulic and pneumatic networks HVAC systems Control Function Development and Calibration Control unit development and calibration can be front-loaded, starting in the virtual environment. Office models can then be reused in a real-time MiL (Model-in-the-Loop), SiL (Software-in-the-Loop) or HiL environment. Vehicle Simulation on Testbeds One of the key benefits of AVL CRUISETM M is that office models can be used as plant models on engine, powertrain and chassis dyno testbeds. This is perfect for controller validation and component testing. The AVL approach encapsulated in AVL CRUISETM M is applicable over the entire engineering process and works well in combination with third party tools. This enables the integration in your existing development environment, while saving cost and time.

He said he'd be back… Arnie returns to Hollywood
The Last Stand will be Schwarzenegger's first lead film role in eight years
Action movie legend Arnold Schwarzenegger is set to make his return to Hollywood playing the lead role in a new action movie called The Last Stand.
The film, which will be the English-language debut of director Kim Jee-Woon, sees the former Governator taking on the part of a cop-turned-sheriff in a sleepy border town, charged with keeping a drug pusher from escaping over the border and evading justice
It will be the 63-year-old's first major film role since 2003's Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, after which Schwarzengger became a full-time politician as the Governor of California, although he did make a cameo in last year's The Expendables, alongside fellow action veteran Sylvester Stallone, before leaving office this January
Joe Drake, the president of Lionsgate, the studio behind The Last Stand, expressed his excitement at having Schwarzenegger on board: "When he came on screen in The Expendables, it electrified the audience. In this film, the Sheriff Owens character grapples with some really tough stuff, but ultimately triumphs, and we knew he'd truly elevate this high-octane ride
No release date has yet been announced for the film, but IMDB suggests that it will appear in 2013.

St Mary, Whitechapel records show baptism of Henry CHRICHARD, son of Thomas & Sarah (nee SHALLEY) of Lambeth on 22 September 1765.An indenture dated 1783 shows Henry, son of Thomas CHRICHARD apprenticed to a hatter.
On 9th November 1788 Henry CHRICHARD married Hannah LOOKER in St Olave, Southwark. A Hannah Gordon LOOKER was born 1 March 1771 and baptised 24 March 1771 daughter of Stephen and Penelope (nee CAPORN) LOOKER. No other record mentions "Gordon" and I can't find any relative with that as a surname. This would appear to be the same Hannah, as she is recorded as being buried aged 76yrs in 1846 in Australia, See later.
Land Tax records for St Olave show Henry at Maze East side and Maze Baptist records show burial of Henry CHRICHARD aged 68yrs on 3 January 1834.
Henry and Hannah had 9 children, 3 of whom had "Freeman" as a second christian name. I can find no reason for this addition. Where would this have come from?
Elizabeth CHRICHARD was baptised on 22 July 1792 in Aldergate. An Elizabeth Freeman CHRICHARD married William CREW on 21 April 1817 in St Mary's church, Newington. Witnesses included a Mary GLANNON and Henry CHRICHARD.
Hannah Freeman CHRICHARD was baptised 1795 and a Hannah CHRICHARD aged 2years was buried in 1797.
Jane Freeman CHRICHARD was baptised 7 October 1798 in St Saviour, Southwark. She is shown as a daughter of Henry, a hatter, and Hannah CHRICHARD.
Mary Ann CHRICHARD, baptised 11 February 1805 in St Saviours, Southwark married Alexander FRASER on 17 March 1831. The witnesses were sister Jane and brother in law William CREW. The FRASERS and "Miss CRITCHARD" arrived in Hobart, Tasmania on the barque "Rubicon" in June 1832. They went into partnership as milliners.
On 1 September 1832 Ann Maria CHRICHARD married William Daniel CHARD, a master mariner, in Hobart. Alexander FRASER and William HEATH were witnesses. Can we assume the "Miss CRITCHARD" above was Ann Maria?
It would appear that Hannah, nee LOOKER, and two children followed the above to Hobart about 1834, although there is no record of their departure or arrival yet found.
A Jane Buckland CHRICHARD married Hugh MCLIVER (or MCLIVEN) in Hobart on 26 February 1839. Witnesses were Alexr & Mary FRASER. If so, when did the "Freeman" change to "Buckland"?
Jemima Isabella CHRICHARD married William HEATH on 11 August 1840 in Hobart. Witnesses were Alexr & Mary Ann FRASER.
St Andrews Presbyterian records show Hannah CHRICHARD died 23 March 1846 and is buried in the same plot as her grandchild Hannah Janet FRASER who died 24 October 1842.
Alexander FRASER became a member of the Legislative Council in Melbourne. A notice in The Mercury, Hobart on 5 February 1877 shows the death of "FRASER – on 28th inst at "Aldourie", St Kilda, Mary Ann Glannon aged 66yrs, dearly beloved wife of Alexander FRASER M.L.C" Is this the Mary GLANNON who witnessed the marriage of Elizabeth CHRICHARD & William CREW? Where did "Glannon" come from? Alexander FRASER died at the same address in 1888.
Brian & Pam
Attached (at the foot of the page) is a photograph - taken, we think, in 1936 - of the Locking Road School class that my mother was in. Her name was Thelma PARKER and she has asked me to post this. Although she was 90 a few months ago, she can recall the names of most of the children. Obviously I can't name them on here in case they are still alive - hopefully many of them are. Mum would be interested to know if anyone can identify themself or a parent/grandparent?
Mum is sitting at the very front, third from the left, with the black hair.
I was at Uphill Primary School from 1955 to 1961. My sister was 2 years behind me. We have a couple of Class photos from our time there. I can remember some of the Teachers from that time, but not all. Are there any online records that might help jog my memory, please?
In the transcriptions for Cheddar, there is a marriage in 1722 with the family name of Shougat. I can't find this as a family name anywhere else and so I'm looking for suggestions as to what it could really be.
Are there any descendants of Franz Heinrich (known as Henry) HORSTMANN and his second wife Christine Louise PFAFF who would like to tell me more about their watchmaking ancestors?
This German couple married Nov 7th 1893 in the Parish church of Christ Church in WsM. She was probably the sister of witness Friedrich Wilhelm Ewald PFAFF - the German bandmaster in WsM. (however, PFAFF is also the name of many German watch & clockmakers who came to UK to learn/improve and market their wares).
I am (slowly) researching material for a book on German watch & clockmakers in the UK and came across this couple...
What also intrigued me was, on the same page as their marriage entry, the details for a John RICH marrying Charlotte Mary HARSE...she of 35 Meadow St and d/o Joseph HARSE, butcher...how about that for coincidences....?!!
Jenny Towey
Lavinia Lewis was born about 1827 (Yatton/Churchill according to various census) She married George Land in Bristol 6 September 1846. According to the marriage certificate Lavinia's father was John Lewis. The only other information I have established for Lavinia was that in the 1841 census she was recorded as a farm servant aged 13 working for William & Samuel Harris in Yatton.
I would appreciate any help in finding Lavinia's baptism, actual place of birth and mother.
Thank you

12:10 pm: I was finally able to get thru to ONE person that lives 10 miles from my mom and she is driving directly to my moms house. There are trees and electrical wires down all over town and power has been out since 10 pm last night.
Times like these, I wish I had a helicopter.
12:15 pm: My friend is banging on the windows and doors of my moms house and there is no answer.
I imagine the worse. Trees, branches and wires down in the front yard and some in the back.
12:20pm: She finds the extra keys and enters the house yelling my moms name. No answer.
Now I am really about to have a heart attack.
She searches the entire house, every room and the cellar ( lots of water came in from the storm ) and still no mom. The house is empty. WHERE is she ?
12:30 pm: I search the Internet for emergency shelters set up in her town--nothing listed.
12:37pm: I call my cousin in southern New Hampshire to ask her where the nearest shelters would be.
Guess what ? My mother is WITH her and they are in Home Depot getting batteries for flashlights!!!!!!
Their plan is to return to my moms house and pack a bag and take my mom to New Hampshire to my cousins where there IS heat and power. Amen.
Lesson for The Day; have a Disaster Plan for parents, if you do not live close to them. I assumed the neighbors would group together and do something. They didn't. Thankfully, my smart cousin was able to drive and navigate all the storm's road obsticles to get to my mothers home and get her out and to a place with heat. I called my brother who is dry vaking his entire cellar because of the huge amount of water he got during the storm and he is relieved that mom is found. He was on his way up there ( about 30 miles south ) when I called and told him mom wasn't in the house. Saved him a trip and unnecessary worry.
Its tough being the only daughter~!
Love you Mom!

On December 10, 1908 at 1:00 PM, Oliver Fritchle arrived in Washington, DC in his "100 Mile Fritchle Electric" completing a 2,140 mile trip from Lincoln, Nebraska. Nearly 60 years would go by until an electric vehicle would travel farther than Fritchle.
In September, 1967, the Arizona Public Service Co. bought an electric car called the MARS II built by Electric Fuel Propulsion Inc. in Detroit, Michigan and drove it 2,226 miles to Phoenix. It was promoted as "the first cross-country trip of an electric car in the United States."
Coincidentally, O. P. Fritchle's nephew, Merrill Fritchle, lived in Phoenix and read of the claim in the Arizona Republic. He contacted the paper and presented evidence that the first cross-country electric vehicle journey was actually accomplished by his late uncle, Oliver P. Fritchle 59 years earlier.
The Arizona Republic reviewed the documentation of Fritchle's trip and on October 19, 1967, they published a story with details of Fritchle's decades-old electric tour along with comments from his nephew, who said, "If my uncle was so far advanced with electric transportation 50 years ago, I wonder what refinements we might have today, had all the research gone toward electric propulsion, instead of gasoline."

This post is shamelessly stolen from the APA/TOPSS email all members received from Chair Mike Hamilton yesterday.
Next Tuesday, December 1, 2015, at 7:30 PM ET, The American Psychological Association and TOPSS is pleased that Regan Gurung, PhD, of the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay will be presenting a free webinar for TOPSS members: "Cultivate Learning: Capitalizing on the Science of Learning." A description of the webinar is provided below; the hour-long event will include time for questions and answers. To watch the webinar, please visit this site. The webinar will be posted online after the live event. We hope you will be able to join us next Tuesday!
Cultivating Learning: Capitalizing on the Science of LearningRegan Gurung, PhD, University of Wisconsin–Green Bay
What is the best way to conceptualize what we do as teachers? What are some evidence-based strategies to foster learning? This talk will answer these questions and more, providing a variety of key research findings relating to what works in the classroom (and what does not). Packed with pragmatic strategies teachers can implement immediately, the presentation will raise some thought-provoking questions about what learning should look like.
Dr. Gurung received a BA in psychology at Carleton College and a master's and PhD in social and personality psychology at the University of Washington. He teaches various courses in health psychology, research methods and culture development and health. He is a past-president of the Society for the Teaching of Psychology (APA's Division 2) and a dedicated teacher with strong interests in enhancing student learning and faculty development.
This webinar has been made possible through a grant from the American Psychological Foundation, thanks to a generous gift from Lee Gurel, PhD.
I recently saw a version of this talk at the EPIC conference held at UW- Green Bay in October and IT. WAS. PHENOMENONAL. I've very excited to see what else Dr. Gurung has to share and for all of you to join in! I took home immediate and very helpful resources to bring to my classes, and you will, too.
A very happy, healthy, and grateful Thanksgiving wish to all the THSP readers from my house to yours!

It's still so hot, humid, stifling. Light cracks through a dark blue sky. They call, announcing the day. Waking the warmth. A small breeze sets in, Imagine, it's the coolest part of the day! For a strong summer sun Rises over the water Setting all afire Waking the warmth.
Yesterday afternoon.
The wind blows thick, hot summer air, I sit and take it in, weak, in my chair. I look around, I'm surrounded, By forest thick, lush, and green. I can help but wonder, What life will make of me.
His smile
See his smile, And the light fill the room. Lifting up hearts, minds, souls. Our purpose, Passion, What keeps us going, Can all be expressed, In one tiny, little smile.
It's a trip.
Does my happiness bother you? I know that feeling. The ache. The fear. Not knowing if I'll ever be happy again, Not knowing if I'll overcome this crisis, or the next. Would you rather see my worst? See me tremble in pain? Hear my screams when I can't control my body? See me angry, despondent,... Continue Reading →
I've almost quit trying to understand my fellow man. It's hard to think as someone else when you don't really know yourself.

Sweet Sweet Night
I've felt you since I was a child, That loneliness, and the solace in it. The dark drapes over me, softly, every night. I delight in my dreams, the possibilities... I wince in the anxiety. My favorite dance with you? The night I waited for my son to arrive. You haven't always been bad. You've... Continue Reading →
Breathe In and out, Calm me down. Breathe Softly sleeping, Stir my heart. Breathe Feel the heat, Get lost. Breathe Drift away, In yours arms.
The night begins in the swamp.
I hear the blast of a pistol, shooting at some creature unknown. The crickets don't flinch, they continue their song. The black has covered everything, trees dripping in sultry, sweet tar. An owl calls in the night. A fox screams in lonely fright. And the night begins in the swamp.
Untitled III
There is no time for silly dreams, Don't you have everything you need? All of this laid here at your feet, My refrain is no matter, it mustn't repeat. For that would by the biggest chore To see this big world and want something more.
