Michael McCausland's first career was to be a licensed operator of commercial nuclear power plants. This career path also saw him found a consulting company focused on nuclear plants in the U.S. and abroad. But a second career had Michael lead a non-profit organization that launched a global network to help grassroots entrepreneurs start micro and small businesses in emerging economies.
Michael came to the MIT Global Entrepreneurship Bootcamp looking for a better training model to support the launch of larger, growth oriented businesses. "During the work in our non-profit we were successful in launching thousands of sustainable micro and small businesses in 25 countries. But micro businesses don't hire people or bring transformation to the local community. We were looking for a business training model that could be implemented quickly, add real world value, and provide a comprehensive and systematic approach to entrepreneurship. I researched educational institutions, incubators, accelerators, and private business training solutions. The best thing I could find was at MIT."
Michael started by going through MIT's entrepreneurship MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) Entrepreneurship 101: Who is your Customer? and Entrepreneurship 102: What can you do for your Customer? and began to apply the concepts to formulate the development and launch of a new training company called the Leadership Institute For Entrepreneurs (LIFE). "By the time I finished the MOOCs I was hooked! I had to go to the Bootcamp. I needed to finalize the startup plans for our new venture, and I wanted learn about the model MIT was using for their bootcamp and why it was so successful."
Following the bootcamp, Michael returned home to finalize the launch of his new venture. LIFE is focused on help emerging entrepreneurs with a whole product solution and ecosystem ranging from ideation to operations and scaling and includes opportunities for funding and connection to a global community of subject matter experts and strong relationships for business growth and development.
LIFE launched their first prototype Entrepreneurship Bootcamp in October 2016 in Colorado Springs, CO. The bootcamp had 18 students, representing 6 countries, with 4 mentors (2 alumni from the MIT Bootcamp!) and 5 Demo Day Judges. Michael adds, "Our first bootcamp was awesome, overwhelming, exhausting, and an absolute home run! We could not have done it without the help and experience I gained at MIT!"
"The MIT Global Entrepreneurship Bootcamp was one of the most transformational experiences in my life. And that's saying a lot." Michael adds. "From getting the required pre-work completed to getting into the Bootcamp to the actual day-to-day intensive learning experience at the Bootcamp (teamwork, practical application of the model, demo day experience, friendships and the connections for life) all worked together to significantly transform my thinking and my actions."

Biotechnology Ambassadors at the Scottish Parliament
- Categorie(s)
- Biotechnology Ambassadors
Published: 23 January 2015
On 28th October 2014, the partnership of Convention Edinburgh, the EICC and PCO TFI Meeting Point welcomed Scottish biotechnology ambassadors for a meeting with the Minister for Energy, Enterprise and Tourism, Fergus Ewing MSP, at the Scottish Parliament.
The evening provided ambassadors with the opportunity to hear from the Minister first hand about the support available to secure international congress business for Edinburgh and Scotland and recognition by the Minister of the importance of business tourism to the Scottish economy.
Ambassadors were particularly pleased to hear about the availability of a government fund for congress bids, subject to a successful application process with match-funding criteria. The Minister advised that the fund had been estimated to deliver a valuable £136m investment return in terms of the associated inward investment and spend per head by delegates returning to Scotland for business or leisure at a later stage.
It was clear that the Minister was extremely knowledgeable on all matters relating specifically to the growth of the biotechnology industry in Scotland, particularly in Edinburgh pointing out that Scottish universities are ranked 4th/5th in the world's top 100 universities in terms of R&D in the field. Ambassadors were keen to express common concerns relating to immigration that require international students to depart the UK 3 months after graduation. Ambassadors commented on the need to find strategies to retain fledgling expertise to skill a future workforce ready to translate R&D to practical applications and increase biotechnology productivity. The Minister agreed to look at this issue.
Following the Meeting, ambassadors were transferred to the EICC for a show-round of the Centre, to meet newly appointed CEO Marshall Dallas and to hear from TFI Meeting Point's Michael Foreman about TFI's value proposition. Foreman spoke on how TFI is engaging with association ambassadors on the commercial relevance of a congress. He emphasised the importance of a congress as a showcase to potential inward investors and as a platform to demonstrate local academic acumen to attract future international students. Leveraging these points to secure future congress business and create economic growth for the destination is vital he said.
After, the EICC hosted a delicious autumn themed dinner created by in-house caterers Leith's accompanied by some very fine and quaffable wines.
This provided a truly worthwhile opportunity for Edinburgh's congress professionals to engage with the City's biotechnology community and hear how the Scottish Parliament is working to support ambassadors win their congress bids.

D.O. Málaga and Sierras de Málaga
[official D.O. website]
Málaga is located between the mountains of Granada and the Mediterranean Sea and is unique in its high elevation and close proximity to the ocean. The region has produced prized expressions of Moscatel (Muscat) since the days of ancient viticulture, when Greeks first planted vines here in 600 BC. Up until the late 19th century, Málaga was Spain's largest viticultural region. Málaga was the first place in Spain to suffer from the phylloxera pest and all of its vineyards were destroyed. Replanting and rehabilitation of the region has been slow, and today it is about a tenth of its original size. The best sites are steep, south facing slate slopes ideally suited for the cultivation of sweet wine grapes. Due the extreme challenges in working these sites, they have been the last to be rehabilitated. There are two DOs in the region, Málaga for sweet wines and Sierras de Málaga for dry white wines.

The D.O. of Jerez-Xérès-Sherry y Manzanilla is the home of Spain's most famous wine: sherry. While the climate here on the southern end of Spain is largely Mediterranean, the Atlantic Ocean creates a unique microclimate in Sherry Country. The denomination is situated near Cádiz bounded by the 3 towns of Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa María, and Sanlúcar de Barameda. This area is on the west-facing side of a large cape, and the Atlantic Ocean moderates the hot winds blowing down from the central plateau. This climate, along with the chalk-heavy soils that glaze over in the heat of summer to trap in moisture from the spring, creates perfect conditions for grape vines.
Fine Sherry can be dry or sweet. The best dry Sherry is made from the Palomino grape grown on chalky soil called albariza, which resembles that of Cognac and Champagne. Following fermentation of the Palomino grapes to complete dryness, the young wine is fortified to 15% alcohol by volume and transferred to used, 500L oak butts (barrels). There, a phenomenon occurs that is unique to Jerez: some butts develop a thick white layer of yeast called flor (flower), which covers and seals the wine. A wind called the Poniente, which comes in from the west, brings cool moist air from the ocean, creating conditions favorable for the flor to grow. This prevents the wine beneath from oxidizing or turning into vinegar. Flor cannot be reliably induced or controlled. Wines that are aged exclusively under this flor are known as wines that have undergone a biological aging. Wines where no such flor is present are known as oxidative wines. There are also wines that undergo both biological and oxidative aging.
Types of Sherry
Biological Aging: Fino, Manzanilla
Oxidative Aging: Oloroso, Pedro Ximénez, Moscatel
Hybrid Aging: Amontillado, Palo Cortado
If it seems the flor will remain, the wines of greatest delicacy and finesse are then fortified (by an addition of brandy) to about 15% alcohol. If as they mature these wines fulfill their promise of elegance, they will ultimately be classified as "Fine."
Serving Temperature: 45º F
The coastal town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda produces a special Fino called Manzanilla. Because of its unique microclimate the wines aged in Sanlúcar are lighter in texture and are distinguished as a separate type of wine.
Serving Temperature: 45º F
Since Fino and Manzanilla remain unoxidized, due to the protective layer of flor, they should be served cold and need to be consumed as soon after bottling and opening as possible. See "Freshness and Fino: How to Read the Lot Numbers" for more information.
While under flor, some of the more robust Finos may be reclassified for development over time as Amontillado, a special type of aged Fino that has been allowed to oxidize, taking on characteristic bronze tones and hazelnut aromas and flavors.
Serving Temperature: 58º F
Palo Cortado
Sometimes the flor grows in unusal or unexpected ways; it may not grow fully or it may die off early. The resulting sherry undergoes a unique, chaotic combination of biological and oxidative aging, as opposed to the controlled conditions of an Amontillado.
Serving Temperature: 58º F
If the flor seems unlikely to remain, or the wines lack the delicacy requisite of Fino, some producers immediately fortify them to about 18% alcohol, to be classed after aging as Oloroso or the rare Palo Cortado, and then possibly blended to make Cream Sherry, for which demand remains strong.
Serving Temperature: 58º F
Pedro Ximénez & Moscatel
The grapes used for unblended sweet wines are usually Pedro Ximénez and Moscatel, grown on clay or sandy soils. These dark, raisiny, extraordinarily concentrated wines, made from shriveled grapes dried on wicker racks following the harvest, can acquire enormous complexity with a long period of cask aging: up to 50 years! Cream Sherries, an English invention, are sweet blends, usually of dry Oloroso base wine with Pedro Ximénez.
Serving Temperature: 45º F
The maturation of Sherry is unique. Sherry was once and occasionally still is aged according to its vintage. But as trade with England reached its height in the 19th century, shippers made a useful discovery about aging these wines: by withdrawing just a small portion from each butt for bottling, and replacing it with an equal portion of younger wine of similar quality and style, they were able to create in 3-4 months a wine identical to the original. This accounts for Sherry's remarkable consistency.
Each lot of similar wines is called a solera and is maintained in multiple stages called scales or criaderas. Wine for bottling is drawn only from the oldest scale, often also referred to as the solera. Several times a year, as much as 30%, but more typically 5-10%, of the contents of the oldest scale is bottled. This is replaced with wine from the next oldest, which itself is then replenished with younger wine, and so on successively until one reaches the sobretable, or top criadera composed of un-aged wine. The solera will have at least three criaderas but may contain more depending on the wine and the style. This process of refilling criaderas from the younger barrels is called "running the scales."
Some Fino and Manzanilla soleras consist of hundreds of butts in many scales and are bottled as often as twice a month, to ensure freshness. Very old soleras of other styles might consist of only two butts and may be bottled as seldom as once a year. It is a brilliant, flexible system for maintaining consistently high quality. It allows the shipper to draw on an infinite number of styles.
In the city of Jerez de la Frontera, and the coastal towns of Sanlúcar de Barrameda and El Puerto de Santa María, the larger shippers are not the only producers of Sherry. For years, a tenacious group of professionals called almacenistas (stockholders) have maintained their own small cellars, supplying the shippers with stocks of rare and unusual, uncompromising, completely dry wines for blending purposes. In 1997 the laws changed, allowing almacenistas with small stocks to bottle wines.
Aging Designations
Each year, the major houses offer limited-production selections from several top almacenistas who mature their wines according to the same high quality standards. These Sherries come from small soleras bottled as seldom as once a year. A label designation such as 1/20 indicates that the bottling is from a solera consisting of only 20 butts! These are consummate expressions of fine, handcrafted, traditional dry Sherry. These are Sherry's greatest wines.
Old sherries can receive a special designation indicating an approximate age of the soleras. There are four designations:
Wines that have an average age of 12 years in solera.
Wines that have an average age of 15 years in solera.
VOS (Vinum Optimum Signatum/Very Old Sherry)
Wines at least twenty years old.
VORS (Vinum Optimum Rare Signatum/Very Old Rare Sherry)
Wines at least thirty years old.
Freshness and Finos
Finos and Manzanillas are at their best while still fresh, to help you ensure that the bottle of Fino or Manzanilla is as fresh as possible we have a lot number printed on the back label of every one of our bottles of both Fino and Manzanilla. Each winery uses the bottling date as their lot number. Example photos for each label are located below.

Through Jesus, we are born again into a family that has one common thread - we all accept Jesus Christ as Lord of our lives. Additionally, brothers and sisters in faith share a love of Jesus which should extend to each other. However, siblings in faith do not always get along.
Hurt feelings, angry feelings, and snappy words are all harmful to the family of God.
Guess who is thrilled with dissension among a church family? Yes, you know the answer - Satan, the master of dissension and deception. Remember the slogan,"What Would Jesus Do?, or WWJD." That slogan is a simple way for brothers and sisters in faith to decide how to handle difficult situations with each other.
In our heart, each of us knows what Jesus would do. In fact, if we are listening, the Holy Spirit himself, our communicator between the Son and ourselves, will tell us exactly what to do. At that point, it is up to each individual to decide if he or she is willing to follow the wise counselor's guiding, or not.
Additionally, the Bible tells us over and over that we are to love one another.
Let go of grudges, revenge, and anger right now! In the end, God and Jesus will judge the right and wrong of things. Love your church family as yourself and spread some peace, love, and joy today!
1 Peter 2:17 NIV
Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor
Romans 12:10 NIV
Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves
Leviticus 19:18 NIV
"'Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.
1 John 4:21 NIV
And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister

Out of curiousity, I decided to do a quick comparison between the Astoria and the Mia.
This was mostly motivated by my steaming frustrations when it comes to the Mia.
The Astoria is dramatically (I mean dramatically) better when it comes to texturing milk. In fact, it is pretty much on par with most commercial machines. First milk - velvet chrome. First pour - perfect latte art.
On the other hand... I actually think that the Mia is easier (for me) to use when it comes to pulling shots. The Astoria is an automatic (which I find far harder to use), I don't like the control pad buttons at all and the portafilter is non-standard. In addition, I find I have to significantly under-dose due to the portafilter and group design if I want to leave a sufficient gap.
That being said... the shots from the Astoria were, in fact, better than the shots from the Mia. They're closer to what I'd get from a commercial machine when it comes to mouthfeel and have better clarity.
The cappuccino I just had... glorious!! A good to very good shot of Hairbender and wonderfully thick, sweet milk. That perfect mix of flavours and textures.... fabulous.
I'm figuring that there is almost certainly a machine out there that combines the portafilter/group design of the Mia with the steam/shot quality of the Astoria and that is a semi-auto.
Does this mean I'm starting to grasp the so-called 'upgrade fever'?

Museum Purchase: Exchange funds from the gifts of various donors. 2007.83
Referencing many traditions simultaneously, including traditional Asian landscape painting, cartography, calligraphy, and the appropriation of icons from popular culture, Jiha Moon brings a unique cross-cultural perspective to her work. Moon uses the genre of landscape as a point of departure. However, she is not interested in creating realistic representations of traditional pastoral scenes. Instead, she often evokes atmospheric conditions such as gusts, rain and clouds. Through the combination of painted and drawn elements, gestural washes and flowing brushstrokes with lyrical, calligraphic lines, Moon is able to convey elements of the natural world. In the case of Jade Cycle, this element is water. Moon illustrates the journey of precipitation as raindrops form larger bodies of water such as rivers, and streams transform into vapor. This kind of layering of marks and brushstrokes involves a distinctive combination of abstract and representational styles. Moon has stated, "I am a cartographer of cultures and an icon maker in my lucid worlds. I want to be a visual interpreter of the mixed cultural worlds of my generation."

From Science Node: "The cosmos in a computer"
28 Nov, 2018
Ellen Glover
How simulated galaxies could bring us one step closer to the origin of our universe.
Thanks to telescopes like the Hubble and spacecrafts like Kepler, we know more than ever about the Milky Way Galaxy and what lies beyond. However, these observations only tell part of the story.
How did our incomprehensively vast universe come to be? What's it going to look like millions of years from now? These age-old questions are now getting answers thanks to simulations created by supercomputers.
One of these supercomputers is a Cray XC50, nicknamed ATERUI II and located at the National Astronomical Observatory in Japan (NAOJ).
It is the fastest supercomputer dedicated to astronomy and is ranked #83 of the top 500 most powerful supercomputers in the world.
Named after a prominent 9th century chief, the ATERUI II is located in the same city where Aterui led his tribe in a battle against Emperor Kanmu. Despite the odds, Aterui and his people fought well. Since then, Aterui has become a symbol of intelligence, bravery, and unification.
100 billion. ATERUI II is able to calculate the mutual gravitational interactions between each of the more than 100 billion stars that make up our galaxy, allowing for the most detailed Milky Way simulation yet. Courtesy National Astronomical Observatory of Japan.
"We named the supercomputer after him so that our astronomers can be brave and smart. While we are not the fastest in the world, we hope the ATERUI II can be used in a smart way to help unify us so we can better understand the universe," says Eiichiro Kokubo, project director of the Center for Computational Astrophysics at NAOJ.
ATERUI II was officially launched last June and serves as a bigger and better version of its decommissioned predecessor, ATERUI. With more than 40,000 processing cores and 385 Terabytes of memory, ATERUI II can perform as many as 3 quadrillion operations per second.
In other words: it's an incredibly powerful machine that is allowing us to boldly go where no one has ever gone before, from the Big Bang to the death of a star. It's also exceedingly popular with researchers—150 astronomers are slated to use the supercomputer by the end of the year.
ATERUI II's unique power means it is capable of solving problems deemed too difficult for other supercomputers. For example, an attempt to simulate the Milky Way on a different machine meant researchers had to group the stars together in order to calculate their gravitational interactions.
ATERUI II doesn't have that problem. It's able to calculate the mutual gravitational interactions between each of the more than 100 billion stars that make up our galaxy individually, allowing for the most detailed Milky Way Galaxy simulation yet.
The death of a star a thousand years ago left behind a superdense neutron star that expels extremely high-energy particles.

While computational astronomy is a fairly young field, we need it in order to understand the universe beyond just observing celestial bodies. With its superior computational power, Kokubo says there are plans for ATERUI II to simulate everything from Saturn's rings through a binary star formation to the large scale structure of the universe.
"If we produce the universe in a computer, then we can use it to simulate the past and the future as well," Kokubo says. "The universe exists in four dimensions: the first three are space and the last one is time. If we can capture the space, then we can better observe it through time."
ATERUI II isn't only working on ways to better understand the stars and planets that make up the universe, it is also being used to explore the possibility of alien life. This starts with life on Earth.
"If we can simulate and understand the origin of life on Earth and what it means to be habitable, we will be even closer to finding it elsewhere in the universe," Kokubo says. "I'm interested in life and why we are here."
Kokubo isn't alone. The mystery of how we came to be and what it all means has fascinated mankind for centuries. Our unknown origins have been explored in great pieces of art and literature throughout history and are at the core of every religion. Now, thanks to ATERUI II, we are one step closer to getting our answer.

When you really want low cost to get cheap airline ticket, explore more prospects like shopping for a vacation packages, final minute reductions and accepting courier flights. I have simply come again from the South West and bought to explore plenty of Arizona and New Mexico – and I am going again shortly for extra.
The discounted Disneyland tickets may be bought at a collaborating U.S. military base ticket office or you should purchase them on the front gate of Disneyland. The airline is working to overcome a repute for poor service because of cancellations, and delays attributable to an aging fleet. Double-test pet policies together with your airline and reserve a spot in your pet effectively upfront.
Usually home direct flights can be low-cost after 10 pm departure or early morning departure. Also settle for the truth that the once seen charges of any airline will not been seen once more. That is nice data and thanks for posting it. i might need to re-find to hawaii in a couple years however i've all the time been paranoid about bringing my cat anyplace, particularly on the aircraft! Please share with me the place you want to purchase your Disneyland tickets by leaving a remark beneath.

To make this dream come true, very first thing I did was, I checked the Airline websites and job advert websites to see who's hiring.

Rich, creamy, healthy goat milk is a prime ingredient in Goat Haus Dairy's products. Goat milk is a fantastic moisturizer that has been used for thousands of years! We read old archives of princesses and royalty soaking in goat milk baths. Well rather than soaking directly in it, you can use goat milk soap and lotion when you are doing bathing for a similar effect.
Goat Haus Dairy is a family run operation. From the very beginning of the process, caring for the goats and milking them, to processing the milk, to making the products. If it is anything like our farm was, all hands on deck when it came time to running the family farm!
Firstly a question I would get asked too often, Does it smell like goats?? Well, NO, not anymore than cows milk smells like cows :) The milk just simply has a milky, creamy smell to it and it easily overcome by olive oils and natural fragrances.
Handcrafted Soap comes in a large selection of scents. This bar is heavy and long lasting. It will not just rince away down the drain. I tried Patchouli, a scent you either love or hate. I happen to love it :) $5.50 a bar is very reasonable for the care and energy that goes into making this premier soap!
Lotions is an area that I didn't get much opportunity to delve into but would have loved to! They sell hand lotion, body butter, foot cream and lotion bars. Lotion bars are wonderful for the dry winters!! I tried Patchouli hand lotion, as I wanted to keep my scents the same. It is a powerful scent, but a nice one! I love it and it was creamy and smooth. I haven't tried very many goat milk lotions, and this is definitely one I would keep with!
I love the old fashioned labels and the green use of recyclable materials.
Visit them online for a look at each of their products, more about their company, and wonderful fun pictures of their goats! http://www.goathausdairy.com/
Becky's goat pictures on FB make me miss my own goats, they are just so adorable!

after bingeing on seasons 1-3 of mad men online, never having to wait a day for don draper because each episode was only a click away, the last couple of months have felt long, stupid, and empty (and full of hyperbole) while waiting for season 4 to start at the end of july.
thank goodness tom and lorenzo are actively analyzing every female character's wardrobe to keep me occupied until new episodes begin. their insights aren't crazily insightful, but appropriately gushy and entertaining nonetheless. full length and detailed photos of each and every outfit abound. oh yes oh yes
(midge will always be my favorite, although this quiz tells me i'm don draper and i am certainly not inclined to argue)
obviously mad men has been lauded for attention to detail since forever, and the costumes are most definitely a part of the show's super fabulous production design. especially how characters rewear the same outfits over and over. thank goodness my parents pay for the cable.

BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan – As children, twin brothers normally do everything together, sharing each other's dreams and planning what they want to be when they grow up. Some slowly grow apart as adults, while others maintain their strong brotherly bond.
Army Capt. Matthew N. Mayor, brigade logistics and operations officer with 101st Sustainment Brigade, Task Force Lifeliner, and Army Capt. Mark E. Mayor, brigade intelligence and current operations officer with 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, have remained close.
The identical twin brothers from Kenosha, Wis., grew up playing the same sports, went to the same college, and now are both deployed here.
"It's like we decided to go ahead and do it through our ROTC first," Matthew said. "We wanted to get a college education and then go ahead and serve. That was probably one of the motivating factors -- to do something together.
"I couldn't be happier, couldn't be more content, and more inspired to work with this great team that I'm part of and he's part of," he continued, "so it's kind of like working for the same organization, which is the Army as a whole."
As they sat talking about the choices they have made, Mark reminisced about the month they both went on active duty.
"I remember that very month, when both of us went on active duty July 4, 2009," he said. "That weekend prior, we said our goodbyes to the families and we had a pre-Fourth of July celebration."
Their military orders took them to Fort Sill, Okla., for the Basic Officer Leaders Course. They both were stationed there during that time, though they knew they eventually would go to their separate branch schools.
In the beginning, the twins said, they were a bit hesitant about joining the service, and thoughts of being separated caused a bit of anxiety. But, they added, they knew they would be all right in the long run.
"It was difficult, it was challenging, but I'm sure every soldier goes through the same thing. … But eventually you cope. You learn to use the shared media, Facebook, Skype, etc.," Matthew said.
"You quickly adapt and just overcome any feelings of separation and anxiety," Mark said, "so that passed after a few months."
As children, the brothers played baseball together. Mark earned most valuable player honors as a pitcher, and Matthew was a home run hitter.
"We're mirror twins -- I'm left handed, and he's right handed," Mark said. "That's our major difference between each other physically. I've always been a little better of a pitcher. His strong suit is soccer. He's always been better at soccer than I was."
The brothers noted that although they are not from a military background, they have a supportive family. Their mother worries, they acknowledged, but they added that know she supports them and is proud of their service.
"Our family is very patriotic, very proud, and very supportive, and [Mark's] wife is very involved -- as well as my mother, father and our family -- in supporting the troops and sending care packages," Matthew said.
The brothers admitted they walked into the military lifestyle without fully knowing what was ahead of them. Mark said their views have changed entirely since joining the Army.
"After a couple of years, [when] you go back to your hometown, you don't feel the same. You're forever changed by the training, by the new experiences, by the new people you meet, the people that you work with," Mark said.
And he likes the way things have played out. "To be with my twin brother here in Afghanistan, serving in the Army, serving the country that I love, it can't get any better than that," he said.

In order for your child to succeed, they need to be physically, emotionally and mentally ready. Here are some of the signs of readiness. If your child is showing many of these signs, it's probably time to start thinking about toilet training.
Independent toileting is an exciting milestone in your child's life, and the key to successful toilet training is 'readiness'. The two most important questions you need to ask yourself before embarking on this exciting journey are, "Is my child ready?" and most importantly, "Am I ready?"
As with all transitions in life, the better pre-prepared you are, the more enjoyable the journey. So this means making sure you don't start at times of high stress, and you're fully armed with all the necessary resources: Pull-Ups, a Potty, books, a method and helpful hints.
In order for your child to succeed, they need to be physically, emotionally and mentally ready. There are a few things you can look out for to help determine whether or not your child is ready. If your child is showing many of these signs, and you are feeling fully prepared, then it's probably time to start thinking about toilet training.
There is no magic age at which to toilet train your child. Every child is unique. The majority of children are ready sometime between 18 months and 3 years, although most do not master readiness skills until after their second birthday.
'I can do it' becomes a regular saying – this shows that your toddler wants to become more independent
There are a number of stages that your child will go through while developing bladder and bowel control. If many of the Signs of Readiness listed below are clearly present, it's probably time to start thinking about toilet training. Remember, if your first attempts are met with little success, or if your child starts out fine but then regresses, don't worry. Just stop and start again later when your child appears more ready or interested in starting. Timing is very important when it comes to toilet training. Consider delaying toilet training if your child is sick or if there are big changes in your little ones life, like moving house, starting childcare or if a new baby is on the way.
Signs of Readiness
If your toddler shows at least two or three of the physical, emotional and mental signs listed below, it's probably time to start thinking about toilet training. Remember the more ready, you and your child are, the more smoothly the training process will go!
Physical signs of readiness
• Your child has regular, formed poos and their bowel movements are reasonably predictable
• Your toddler is developed physically so they can move around independently and can get themselves to the toilet
• Your child has the dexterity to pull their pants up and down with minimum assistance
• You may notice that the nappy is dry for longer periods up to 2-3 hours. This shows that the bladder capacity and control are improving
• Your toddler can recognise the feeling that they need to go to the toilet or can control the urge to go – young children will often go off to a secret corner to poo
Mental signs of readiness
• Your child knows what wee and poo are and may talk about them when you're changing his or her nappy
• Your child understands the meaning of 'wet'and 'dry'
• Your child can predict and communicate when he or she needs 'to go'
• Your toddler understands what you are saying and can follow simple instructions, like 'Go and get your teddy'
• Your child may become uncomfortable and complain if their nappy is dirty or remove their nappy following a wee
Social and emotional signs of readiness
• 'I can do it' becomes a regular saying – this shows that your toddler wants to become more independent
• Your toddler begins to imitate your behaviour or the behaviour of others
• Your child demonstrates independence – often by saying 'no' to requests
• Your toddler shows a desire to please you and other adults – and responds well to praise
• Your child asks to wear training pants or underpants
Toilet training can be a daunting process but preparation is key when it comes to toilet training ease and success. Get organised by visiting www.pull-ups.com.au to request a free of HUGGIES® Pull-Ups® Training Pants or get a copy of the HUGGIES® Pull-Ups® Toilet Training Guide.
Remember. No matter how ready your child is, successful toilet training also depends on your own level of readiness. Being prepared as a parent means:
- Avoid starting at times of high stress – toilet training requires lots of patience and a positive frame of mind
- Purchasing the right equipment. Potty or toilet seat? Underpants or Pull-Ups?
- Having a plan. What toilet training method will you use? Be flexible however as what works for one child may not work for the next.
- Planning for changes in routine. How will you manage when your out and about or when your child is in childcare?
- Having realistic expectations, putting too much pressure on yourself and your child will only end in disaster.
- Don't forget that all-important support network. When things go wrong you need to have someone to sit down with and have a laugh!

A great example of something that can drive you nuts! (Mathematically trivial time- waster). Here's a hacky workaround that you probably won't like... (First, note that this doesn't work...) In[1]:= x^a//HoldForm %/.a->-1 Out[1]= x^a Out[2]= 1/x (But this does...)

If you are a Christmas music lover (and even if you are a Christmas music hater), you might appreciate these tidbits about seven songs we love (or hate) to listen to and sing around this time of year.
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (1943)
This song makes us feel wistfully warm inside today, but its original lyrics were downright morbid: "Have yourself a merry little Christmas/It may be your last/Next year we may all be living in the past." Yikes.
I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas (1953)
Written by John Rox and first sung by ten-year-old Oklahoma City resident Gayla Peevey, this song was a huge hit in 1953. In the song's honor, the Oklahoma City Times and a local television station successfully raised enough money to purchase a hippo for the city zoo, and Peevey presented Matilda, a three-year-old baby hippo weighing 700 pounds, to the zoo on Christmas Eve.
Jingle Bells (1850, published 1857)
Here's a shocker: "Jingle Bells" isn't even a Christmas song. It was intended by its writer, James Lord Pierpont, to be a Thanksgiving song entitled "One Horse Open Sleigh," but it was so beloved by its first hearers that they altered the lyrics slightly and sang the song during Christmastime.
Last Christmas (1984)
Many people find this song incredibly annoying. I am certainly not one of those people, but if you are, you might hate it less if you knew that Wham! gave nearly $400,000 of the song's royalties to relieve famine in Ethiopia.
Feliz Navidad (1970)
José Feliciano initially wrote this tune in Spanish but added English lyrics to make it more likely that American radio stations would play it. Feliciano, born blind from congenital glaucoma in a family of eleven boys in Puerto Rico, has a prolific music career beyond his world famous Christmas hit.
Santa Claus Is Coming to Town (1934)
This song was written by Fred Coots and Haven Gillespie when Eddie Cantor needed a song to sing on the radio broadcast of Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Within one day of the broadcast, 100,000 copies of the song's sheet music were sold.
O Holy Night (1847)
The lyrics of this beautiful song were written by Placide Clappeau, a French wine merchant who was the mayor of a town in southern France called Roquemaure. The music was composed by another Parisian, Adolphe Charles Adam, who, near the end of his life, was a professor of music at the Paris Conservatory. The French lyrics were translated into English by John Dwight, a clergyman who is thought to be responsible for making Beethoven well known in America.
Congratulations! You are now semi-prepared to be a contestant on a Christmas song episode of Jeopardy.

Washington Mystics forward Elena Delle Donne and Las Vegas Aces forward A'ja Wilson led fan voting and will be the captains for the upcoming WNBA All-Star Game.
It's the second year in a row that Delle Donne will be a captain and choose her team under the current format.
Wilson's squad will be the hometown favorite, though, as the game will be held at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas on July 27 (ABC, 3:30 p.m. ET). Wilson also was an All-Star last season as a rookie.
The other top eight vote-getters who will make up the pool of starters also were announced Thursday, led by center Liz Cambage, Wilson's Aces teammate. She was followed by Los Angeles Sparks guard Chelsea Gray, Phoenix Mercury center Brittney Griner, Seattle Storm forward Natasha Howard, Connecticut Sun forward Jonquel Jones, Seattle guard Jewell Loyd, Las Vegas guard Kayla McBride and New York Liberty guard Kia Nurse.
The All-Star coaches -- Las Vegas' Bill Laimbeer and Washington's Mike Thibault -- will be on the opposite sides of their two star players, however. Laimbeer, whose Aces are currently in first place at 10-5, will coach Team Delle Donne; Thibault, whose Mystics are in second at 9-5, will coach Team Wilson.
"I'm very competitive and think we can beat him," a laughing Wilson told SportsCenter on Thursday about playing against Laimbeer in the All-Star Game. "I know we can beat him. I want to beat him bad."
The coach with the best record was paired with the player with the most votes. The Mystics and Aces have yet to finish an earthquake-suspended game from July 5, which Washington led by 15 at halftime.
Fans accounted for 50% of the vote to determine the starters, while current WNBA players and a media panel accounted for 25% each. Delle Donne finished with 32,460 fan votes, followed by Wilson with 26,475.
The WNBA's head coaches will vote for the 12 reserves -- three guards, five frontcourt players and four at either position -- who will be announced Monday. Coaches cannot vote for their own players.
Delle Donne and Wilson then will draft their rosters, beginning with the starters and followed by the pool of reserves. Delle Donne will have the first selection with the starters, and Wilson will pick first with the reserves.
The date of the All-Star draft will be announced later.
Delle Donne, who is averaging 15.8 points and 8.2 rebounds, is listed as day-to-day after suffering a nasal fracture in Sunday's loss at Los Angeles. She didn't play in Wednesday's loss to Phoenix, but she should be able to play in the All-Star Game.
Wilson, averaging 16.4 points and 7.1 rebounds, has played every game this season for the Aces.
Among the starting pool, Delle Donne and Griner lead the way in experience, as this will be the sixth time both have been voted All-Stars. It's the first All-Star selection for Howard and Nurse.

Following the agreement between Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY (Germany) and CANDLE Synchrotron Research Institute on "THz Undulator Exchange" signed on Armenian-German Science Day "From Theory to Practice" (October, 2015), the undulator magnet has been shipped from DESY to CANDLE. This in-kind contribution from DESY is a remarkable milestone towards the creation of AREAL THz Free Electron Laser in Armenia.
An undulator is a long magnet, having a periodic structure of alternating polarity dipoles, where the electrons move along a sinusoidal path and emit electromagnetic waves at resonant frequencies in a narrow cone. The THz undulator magnet is the key component of the projected ALPHA (Amplified Light Pulse for High-end Applications) experimental station at AREAL electron linear accelerator with laser driven RF gun. The new station is designated for generation of coherent radiation in Mid-Infrared and THz wavelength range, based on SASE Free Electron Laser (FEL) principle, using 20-50 MeV energy electron beams from upgraded AREAL linac.

Our elementary campus has a new library filled with the latest in technology. With the addition of new computers, our students are able to achieve academic excellence in every assignment! Our students look forward to taking their Accelerated Reader tests on these computers, ensuring accuracy when calculating their Accelerated Reader points.
This calm retreat is a perfect place for classroom teachers to bring their students to research, to study, or to escape into another world that they find with their favorite authors. A favorite series that our students check out is "Geronimo Stilton." Geronimo is a mouse who works as a journalist and is also the author of the books!
One of the highlights in our library is our AR store. Each quarter the students get to come and spend their accumulated AR points on fabulous prizes! This is an exciting time for everyone and a great motivation to keep reading!
Each month our librarians select a class to win "The Golden Book Award." They look for a class that is quiet and respectful to each other in the library. They also clean up and return books back to their proper places. We can't wait each month to find out who earns "The Golden Book Award!"

No Justice, No Peace: Darryl Moore Appoints Gertz to Berkeley Commission
Just when you think you've heard everything about Berkeley politics, something else even more jaw-dropping happens. On the Fourth of July I got an email from a reader with the subject line "John [expletive deleted] Gertz!" (Though the expletive was not in fact deleted—I didn't know Gmail allowed that.)
His news? Councilmember Darryl Moore has appointed John Gertz to Berkeley's Peace and Justice Commission. John Gertz? What planet has Moore, who is running for re-election for heaven's sake, been living on for the past seven or eight years?
John Gertz, in case any of our readers has forgotten, is one of the key co-conspirators in the campaign to shut down the Daily Planet, ably reported by Richard Brenneman in the paper in 2009. You can read the whole story from the archives here.
In case you weren't around then, or you need to refresh your memory, here's Richard's lead:
A few East Bay individuals are threatening to bankrupt the Berkeley Daily Planet unless it stops publishing criticisms of Israel's policies and actions—opinions and ideas they brand "anti-Semitic."Well, as many who read this will know, the print Planet is indeed gone, though Gertz and his associates can't take all the credit for destroying it. But the scurrilous web site he masterminds is still very much alive, still spewing vitriol about the Planet, our family and various Planet contributors, available on the Internet for anyone (including the clueless Darryl Moore) to consume. Click on the link for the Berkeley Daily Planet Watchdog and see for yourself what kind of person Gertz is.
Some of them have been contacting the paper's advertisers, urging them to cancel their contracts. One has created a website dedicated to attacks on the paper.
The expressed goal, in the words of an April 21 e-mail from one of them to the Planet's executive editor, is to make the Daily Planet "reform, or close, or bleed money until you are forced out of business or die broke."
The site is a breathtaking collection of insane rantings, for example a stinging denunciation of my late father, a tolerant man who had nothing to do with the paper, as an anti-Semite simply because he—graduated from Princeton in 1934!
And Gertz is an equal opportunity accuser, attacking Conn Hallinan, well-known journalist, Planet columnist and member of a distinguished California progressive family, on the left flank:
"Because Hallinan often deals with esoterica and conspiracy theories, it is not easy to know from what political perspective he writes. So we will tell you now and in bold print:That's (A) not accurate and (B) even if it were, so what? That kind of red-baiting is so over in 2012.
Accusing critics of Israel's politics of anti-Semitism is another tactic which has lost momentum since 2009. Three years ago it was relatively uncommon to read frank analyses of mistakes that country has made in its dealings with Palestine in the mainstream press, but now—at least in the better publications—writers have considerably more freedom to speak their minds about what some Israelis are up to. And anyhow, as the charts in the Brenneman report show, the Planet has never carried much news or opinion about Israel.
Even in 2009, a substantial number of Berkeleyans and others, some Jewish and some not, were brave enough to take out an ad supporting the Planet when it was under attack for John Gertz's bogus construction of faux anti-Semitism. His hysterical accusations certainly don't represent Berkeley's thoughtful Jewish citizens in 2012.
The Planet is by no means Gertz's only target—he has been a vindictive fanatic for many years, going ballistic when any possible criticism of Israel is discussed. When the council voted in 2005 to ask for an investigation of Rachel Corrie's death, he took out after councilmembers who voted to support the inquiry. From an online report at the time:
"For Gertz, his vendetta over the Corrie vote goes beyond the Peace and Justice Commission. He is focusing on future mayoral elections when two councilmembers who voted for the Corrie resolution, Linda Maio and Kriss Worthington, might run for the city's top job.Well, Maio and Worthington are still in office, but they haven't run for mayor. Maio is even Moore's usual ally in supporting the current mayor's agenda these days.
"The real political objective is that Maio is going down and so is Worthington," Gertz said in a phone interview, but didn't specify how he would ensure their defeat. "They refused to rescind their vote on Corrie. That's it for them. They're toast."
What was Darryl Moore thinking when he placed the author of such garbage on the Peace and Justice Commission? Unfortunately, this appointment fits into a pattern of deeply flawed commissioner choices which call Moore's judgment into serious question.
The problem became apparent way back in 2005, when Moore appointed to the commission a conservative replacement for the progressive who had been chosen by his District 2 predecessor, the late Margaret Breland. The departing progressive commissioner's complaint about this can be found here in the Planet's letters column.
He appointed his city-paid aide Ryan Lau to the Zoning Adjustment Board, which rules on code violations—and subsequently Lau was exposed as being himself a code violator for constructing an illegal building on his own property. Lau still works for Moore nonetheless, though he's off the ZAB.
Yet Moore yanked his appointee Adolpho Cabral from the West Berkeley Project Area Committee because, according to Cabral, he "asked too many questions." As a result, Cabral is now running against Moore for the District 2 council seat, asking still more questions about the highly questionable proposals for West Berkeley that Mayor Bates and his protégé Darryl Moore are in the process of placing on the November ballot. Moore's unpopular support for drastic changes to West Berkeley zoning is sure to be a hot campaign issue, since both Cabral and Denisha DeLane, also running in District 2, oppose them.
More on questionable proposals: On Monday, in one of the first meetings Gertz participated in as a newly-minted Peace and Justice commissioner, he surprised his fellows by his enthusiasm for the Bates Anti-Sitting initiative, which is up for a vote next Tuesday. All of the others, regardless of who appointed them, expressed serious doubts about the value, effectiveness and/or legality of turning sitting on the sidewalk into a criminal offense which could eventually lead to imprisonment for offenders who couldn't pay fines. When a vote was taken Monday to support sending comments to that effect to the City Council, Gertz abstained when everyone else voted yes.
Ironically, Gertz doesn't even live in Moore's flatlands West Berkeley District 2. He lives on Mariposa Street, firmly situated in the affluent Berkeley hills in District 5. So why did Moore appoint him?
Money could have something to do with it. Gertz lives handsomely on revenues from the brand trademark of Zorro, which he inherited from his father, an author's agent who acquired it from the character's creator in a transaction which was later the subject of a lawsuit by the writer's heirs. He'd be in a good position to contribute to Moore campaigns, including the current council race, though the amount would theoretically be limited by Berkeley election law. Even more important, however, Zorro Productions, Inc. and John Gertz Productions Inc., the corporations he owns, could contribute to PACs supporting the two Bates/Moore initiatives on the November ballot without limit or disclosure, since the Council has just voted to postpone enforcing newly adopted disclosure requirements until after the November election.
But simple bad judgment still looks like the best explanation for Moore's appointment, that or his cozy acolyte relationship with Mayor Tom Bates, who has his own reasons for wanting to curry favor with John Gertz. But Bates might not be in the mix—a useful journalistic maxim is never to attribute to conspiracy what incompetence would also explain.
It should be obvious to anyone by now that Gertz is both vicious and nutty, a dangerous combination. Everything Moore needed to know about him is a matter of public record—one glance at the dpwatchdog site should have been enough to tell him that Gertz is toxic. Regardless of whose bad idea it was, Moore richly deserves to lose his council seat for appointing the likes of John Gertz to a city commission.

I love the alluring covers and intriguing titles of both your books this week, although if I had to choose just one for my own list, it would definitely have to be the Beth Hoffman, as I already have 'Saving CeeCee Honeycutt' on my reading list.
Thanks for sharing a small, yet perfectly formed mailbox, this week
The covers are very inviting, thanks! for stopping.Delete
Enjoy them both! Love the covers!!ReplyDelete
Ooh. Both looks very interesting. Never Had a Dream Come True sounds quite the depressing but the cover says otherwise. Have fun reading them!ReplyDelete

In Pursuit of an Automotive Museum in Rochester
There's a movement underway for the development or creation of an automotive museum in Rochester.
Eric Pool is the driving force behind it. He loves classic cars and dreams of creating a place where car lovers can view and learn about them. He pointed out to Rich Peterson on 'Rochester's Good Morning' on Monday that no such museum exists in Minnesota, let alone Olmsted County.
He's developed a website for the museum.
At this point, there's no specific dollar amount needed before breaking ground. He would like to see some land donated as that would have an impact on the total dollars needed for the project to become a reality.
He also said, "We are investigating typical automotive museum building costs and should start to have some rough estimates soon. Because this effort is largely dependent on donors and corporate sponsors it is also difficult to identify a target date. With the right donations it could happen soon but will likely take a number of years."

The kitchen originally was really dark and closed off from the rest of the house. We removed walls and the kitchen/dining became part of the living area. Originally the kitchen was almost a galley kitchen with a pass-through window to the dining area. The dining area itself was also closed off from the family room. Now after removing the walls, you can stand in the kitchen and see all the way across the room to the far end of the family room French doors to the outside. Look what a beautiful, open concept it is!

All the news about the ENDURE Network can be found in these pages.
The important role agricultural science plays in feeding the world has been emphasised in a new publication in the UK, and coincides with a strong push to encourage more students into the sector.
Can you imagine a world where a farmer automatically receives a warning each time a potential problem is detected in his fields? Or where the potential threat this may pose is automatically calculated making decision-making simple? And, when action is needed, can you imagine the farmer being able to spray just a tiny amount of pesticide directly at the problem, secure in the knowledge the pest has been dealt with?
The European Union has completed its 16-year review of around 1,000 active substances authorised for use in pesticides across the continent before 1993. The result is a list of about 250 substances which have passed the harmonised EU safety assessment and can be authorised for use by Member States.
Many newspaper headlines during the recent passing of the European Union's new 'pesticides package' focused on the potentially serious consequences for Europe's vegetable producers, making ENDURE's field vegetable case study timely as well as important.
ENDURE's foresight team will head to Brussels, Belgium, in April to present their study examining European crop protection towards the year 2030 to an invited audience of politicians, legislators and research directors.
Students from across the globe have been selected for ENDURE's 2009 PhD Summer School, Modelling approaches to support integrated pest management.
No wheat farmer wants their crop to be hit hard by the destructive fungal disease Fusarium ear blight. Not only does it reduce yields, but the fungi involved can produce poisons (mycotoxins) dangerous to humans and livestock, and strict legal limits are in place for mycotoxins in grain destined for human consumption and animal feed.
Putting sound science into use is a major challenge in all kinds of fields, not least in farmers' fields where the gap between everyday farming life and the scientific world can seem particularly large.
Developing the skills and knowledge of both its own scientists and those from institutions outside the network is an essential component of ENDURE's integrating activities, which seek to overcome the fragmented and localised nature of integrated pest management (IPM) research.
ENDURE is calling for sustained and determined action to promote the design and introduction of new solutions to help develop integrated pest management (IPM) schemes that contribute to sustainable development while keeping European agriculture competitive.
