We have an ongoing problem with a neighbour whose outside security light shines down the length of the small terrace and into our bedroom window every night. Due to its irregular operation, if someone walks past or a leaf flutters in the nearby bush, we are getting broken sleep, waking at 2am, 3am, 4am and sometimes 5am due to the light on our bedroom wall.
We initially approached it amicably by asking our neighbour if they could move the light to the opposite wall where it would still light their property but not all the other gardens in the back of the houses. We were told in no uncertain terms that it would not be moved. We are now in the fourth year of dealing with this and have been told not to approach the woman of the house but the husband and not to talk to him again, and remove ourselves from their property. What are my options at this stage?
It is regrettable that your neighbour appears so unreasonable. It really is very difficult to deal with someone like this.
The District Court has a process (District Court rules 1997 order 96 rule 8) which is often used whereby you can bring a neighbour to court for noise pollution but unfortunately it only covers noisy neighbours and nothing else.
You could try complaining to An Garda Síochána but I imagine they will not want to get involved as they will consider it a civil matter and not a criminal one. The Environmental Protection Agency received some representations in a public consultation process in 2012 regarding light pollution but unfortunately it has stated that it has no function in that regard.
Presuming that you have already installed heavy curtains with blackout lining and blackout roller blinds then a possible route would be to see if the neighbour would engage with you through an independent third party (someone acceptable to you and to him) to hammer out some sort of agreement by mediation. As a general rule if neither you nor he is 100 per cent happy with the deal that is reached then it's a good deal. This is the cheapest of three main options.
A second and more expensive option is taking him to court. What you are complaining of here is a nuisance which in legal terms is called a tort (not to be confused with a dessert Ross O'Carroll-Kelly might eat!). It's basically a civil wrong.
If a tort has been committed then you can sue on foot of it. It is reasonably foreseeable that his floodlight would have the effect of waking up his neighbours so he owes you a duty not to disturb you or your fellow sleep-deprived neighbours with the floodlight. To definitively deal with the matter and enforce your right to a decent night's sleep, you would have to initiate court proceedings, seeking an order from a judge compelling your neighbour to cease the nuisance. As with all court cases, it can be a very lengthy process, the costs can rack up quickly and you may not get the redress you seek. It is very important to remember before you embark on a court case that the outcome is never guaranteed.
The third and nuclear option would be, of course, to consider moving house which seems quite drastic but ultimately you may have no choice, particularly if you do not fancy going to court.

Potassium iodine (KI) is good to prevent thyroid cancer only if there is radioactive iodine in the radiation. Also, radioactive iodine loses its radiation power after a few days. So, KI is only needed within the first few days of exposure to radiation. Stocking up on a bottle or two can be more than enough to fight against this type of radiation damage. A bottle is good for a 30-day supply, and the shelf life is from five to seven years.
Because of the frenzy of stocking up on KI, some retailers take advantage of the situation by increasing their prices from less than $ 50 a bottle to $ 500 or even $1,500 a bottle. Is it necessary to pay for KI at such a high price? I don't believe so, and the following is the reason why (be aware that KI is only good to prevent thyroid cancer right after the exposure to radiation, but not other types of cancer such as leukemia).
Can you get iodine from a natural source? Of course you can! Sea vegetables like kelp provide an abundance of iodine. One table spoon of kelp provides approximately 12 mg of iodine, while daily recommended dosage is only 150 mcg (1 mg = 1,000 mcg). Therefore, it would make more sense to stock up on dry sea vegetables like kelp. If you eat sea vegetables regularly, then you have no need to stock KI.

Capital Pilot Turns 1
A little bit older, a little bit wiser
Capital Pilot has turned one, and we are incredibly grateful to our clients, team, family, investors, friends, partners, former colleagues, board, and everyone else who has helped us or put their trust in us over the past year.
In the weeks before we officially launched Capital Pilot from Richard's kitchen last year, we weren't sure what response we would get. We also weren't entirely sure what it was we were actually building. Was it a side project? Would it be temporary? Could we keep the team together, given visa issues and no resources? Would anyone care?
The response from day one was incredible. It proved to us that our mission and goals were as relevant as ever. Because of that we knew we had to pursue this full time in spite of the risks and uncertainties we faced.
We are off to a good start…
|One Year – By the Numbers
|Startups registered
|Pitches we've helped improve
|Companies that got to investor ready
|Campaigns currently live
|Companies that have completed their fundraise
Our mission, as ever, is to make the marketplace for UK tech startups to function more efficiently by changing the way startups and investors connect. Currently so much time, effort and resource is wasted. Startups and investors trying to find one another and understand each other. We we can do our small part to fix this so everyone can get on with the important stuff – building, scaling, growing, pushing the UK economy forward as it enters so much uncertainty.
As with any startup, the exact proposition we needed to build to achieve that mission was and isn't 100% clear. We made great strides over the past year in getting closer to clarity, and are very excited to give a status report and re-announce ourselves after one year.
Capital Pilot is the single marketplace for early stage tech. For startups, that means helping them prepare to meet investors, and matching them to the ones that are actually investing in businesses like theirs. For investors, that means providing tools and resources to help them manage the massive quantity of deal flow they receive, helping them make better investment decisions but also finding a home for good startups that don't fit their investment priorities.
It's a big mission statement, and definitely work in progress. But with a growing sense of conviction that what we are doing is right, with a seed fundraising launching soon, and a growing network of partners and affiliates across the country we are confident that we are in a good place to achieve it.

Here's a dessert well worth adding to the repertoire: it's loaded with beta carotene.
Looks and tastes most unlike a pudding. Took a long time to grate the sweep potato. Very sloppy mixture, didn't dry out enough even after 2 hours of cooking. Coconut on top went nicely brown after 30 mins. - 30 Jan 2016

It also serves as a divot tool with clips to easily attach to your belt buckle. Not only can you use it to hold your cigars you can also use it as a putter/wedge caddy to keep your grip dry.
This holder does not have a latch or clip- the cigar balances on a small curve. This is great for momentary pauses but if it's windy you will spend a lot of time balancing the cigar.
We think the GolfJOC cigar holder is a great multi-purpose gadget that will keep your cigars intact. If you are looking to use it for more than just holding cigars it would be great.

Bottom Line
There are many different holders on the market, ranging in price and design. Here at cigarcigarinfo.com, we prefer the Perfecto Holder and the ninety-degree wedge. Mostly because the cigars are kept secure without the holder pressing on it. For those who have a limited budget the cigar minder definitely does a good job. We recommend keeping a few spare.

By now just about everyone should have already forgotten about last week's chem lab test (no one found the new equilibrium section easy, so don't fret!) and the cells lab theory test on Monday (multi-choice questions, YAS!). And as well as that most of us should have just about finished our last lab classes and have tucked those tattered, stained lab books away somewhere safe. Or, alternatively, if you're extremely messy like me, they're strewn across the living room floor in such a way that it's impossible to walk in a straight line from one side of the room to the other without stepping on one.
*Coughs* Ah, back to the main topic. I'm sure you all have already heard how much you need to study and how important it is that you start doing it right now, so I'm going to reinforce that idea just one more time. Start your study now! We only have to keep working extremely hard for the next three weeks and after that we're free to do whatever we want – we can watch all the YouTube videos we like, we can stay up past midnight to watch TV shows instead of trying to revise for lab quizzes or finish our online physics quiz, and sleep til noon every day without having to get up for lectures.
But here are also a few things that are just as important as revision to ensure that you're in tip-top condition from before your first and up until your last exam!
1. Warmth
When we think of winter, we think COLD. And possibly the movie Frozen – who doesn't love Frozen? But then after that, maybe we think of short days, chilly wind, endless rain, maybe even snow (though the last time we had snow in Palmy was 5 years ago and that only lasted for less than a day). So, we have to dress warm!
Some ideas:
- Wear two layers of socks (a layer of thin socks with a pair of thick woollen socks over the top makes for the best feet warmers) if you are prone to getting chilblain like I am every winter – chilblain is not fun. And you don't want your toes to be itchy during your exams.
- Also, slippers! Time to bring out the cutest/craziest/fluffiest slippers you can get your hands on – or rather, your feet into. Ha. Ha.
Other essentials:
- thermal tops and leggings,
- beanies,
- scarves,
- hot water bottles wrapped in blankets that you can cuddle,
- extra blankets and duvets to cocoon yourself in,
- and most importantly – gloves! The blood circulation in my hands isn't amazing (so chilblain again), so on a winter day you'll most likely find me trying to warm up my ice-cold hands with gloves in vain. If your hands are always warm all year around – no worries here then! But for those prone to getting cold hands, you'll need to carry gloves around with you everywhere – more importantly, to the exams too! Nothing's worse than trying to answer your exam paper when your hands are too cold to even grip your pen properly.
Wow this looks like a camping gear list…
2. De-Stressify
Having downtime in between study sessions is important – it is in no way healthy to study for 8 hours a day without having any breaks. You'll just burn yourself out and make yourself too tired to study the next day, which in turn means you're losing precious study time.
Do something creative – learn to knit yourself a scarf, colour in a page from an adult colouring book, learn a new piece on the guitar if you have one, or watch half an episode of your favourite show (and then finish the second half after you study for another 40 minutes or so).
Doing some yoga is also a good idea. Not only will you be keeping yourself in shape, you'll feel much more awake after doing some nice cat poses or downward dog poses (because since we're pre-vets we'll tend to like animal-related things more, no?). There's also the option of going out for a short walk – the cold will definitely wake you up.
Also, if you have a pet, be it a chicken, grumpy cat, hyper dog, or antisocial bunny, go and cuddle them and you'll end up calming your exam nerves too!
3. Healthy Things
You know the drill – lots of fruits and vegetables! Vitamin C supplements are also good for helping to prevent colds. You know what else is good on a cold day? Tea! Especially green tea – you will never hear the end of the benefits of green tea, including improved brain function, bacterial infection prevention, boosting your metabolic rate to help burn fat, and also slowing down signs of aging in your skin (including the prevention of wrinkles from forming). If you tend to get hungry while studying, snack on a banana, or keep a bag of scroggin on your desk to munch on (don't put too much chocolate in there though! Try replacing chocolate with dried fruit – much more healthy).
4. ZzzzzZzzzz
Yep. Sleep. Sleep is not for the weak. "Sleep is an investment in the energy you need to be effective tomorrow." We all have something called a sleep debt, which basically means that every hour or minute you lose of sleep continues building up until you sleep it off. The greater your sleep debt (i.e. sleep deprivation) is, the more and more difficult it becomes to concentrate, socialise and stay awake. If you're sleep deprived you become a lot less productive too. So the moral of the story is to get enough sleep (7-9 hours for most adults 18-64 years old)! However, oversleeping is not an option either. Oversleeping can lead to the same problems as being sleep deprived, so make sure you force yourself to get up as soon as your alarm clock goes off after 7-9 hours!
Pre-Vet has certainly been a very interesting ride, filled with the good times and the bad, but you can't spend every waking moment stressing yourself out with worries about whether or not you'll make it in. You get to meet many people from all over New Zealand as well as overseas, all of whom love animals as much as you do, so be sure to make friends and enjoy uni life! All those rumours of pre-vets sabotaging each other haven't been proven to be true during my 11-ish weeks, so don't get too caught up by rumours.
If you get in, it'll be entirely the result of all of your good organisation and hard work. If you don't, that just means that you didn't spend enough time preparing yourself for all of the lab tests and quizzes, semester tests, and the final exams. But that doesn't mean it's the end of your potential successful veterinary career! There's no limit to the number you can retry, and I've heard from 4th year vet students that it isn't uncommon at all for many people to get in on their second, third or even fourth time. So next semester I'll be back, hopefully as a successful pre-vet student who's made it to the next round!
Good luck with all of your exams, and take good care of your health!

A veteran Waterloo Regional Police officer faces several charges in relation to a shooting that took place in Cambridge in March 2018.
The Ontario Special Investigations Unit (SIU) announced Wednesday that Sgt. Richard Dorling was arrested on Tuesday and charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, discharging a firearm with intent and discharging a firearm — reckless endangerment.
READ MORE: Ontario's police watchdog investigating after break-in suspect shot in Cambridge
On March 31, Hamilton police were investigating a break-in at a home in Flamborough, Ont., according to the SIU. A vehicle had been reported stolen from the residence and was later discovered in an industrial section of Cambridge.
The SIU said Waterloo police were then contacted and began to search the area around Dickie Settlement Road when an officer came into contact with the suspect.
The officer allegedly fired several shots, according to the SIU, with one hitting the suspect. The 30-year-old man was airlifted to hospital for treatment.
Waterloo police say Dorling has been placed on paid leave and the police service will be conducting an internal review once the trial is completed.
The SIU is an arm's length agency that investigates reports of death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault involving Ontario police.

A Kiss of Red
by Garrett Zephyr
A copy of this book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.
First of all, this story was way more interesting and clearly written than the blurb might suggest. Secondly, and probably the first thing people consider with indie books, is the spelling and grammar, which I am pleased to say was very good. The one notable issue is that the writing is extremely proper and grammatically correct, to the point of an almost complete lack of contractions even in the dialogue, however considering the state of many indie books on this matter-I consider it a breath of fresh air. Just fair warning, it took me a couple of chapters to slide into the story because of it.
The story revolves around the mysterious happenings in Brook Falls, Oregon and around one family consisting of the grandmother Ellen, and three cousins who were raised by her-Marie, Tanya and Lily (who we don't see until the end).
When Ellen mysteriously winds up in a coma, Marie (the main protagonist) returns to the home town she had left behind. She's caught between James Powell and Eugene Spencer, two men who are dangerous but only one of whom means to protect her.
This is a paranormal romantic suspense so we have both world building and the mystery, and the author does an excellent job of avoiding info dumping on both counts. There are several plot twists that keep the reader guessing til the very end and there's a nice set up for Tanya's story.
All in all, a rather solid first book from a new author.

In my last post, I mentioned I was pregnant. Turns out a baby puts a hold on a lot of 'me' activities for a while. I think I used my camera twice in about 18 months, both times just to have some photos of her that weren't taken on my phone.
Then around December last year, my friend asked if I would come snap some casual shots for a first birthday party. I felt pretty rusty but was happy to be back behind the lens!

Increased tensions with Russia over its plans to build the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline to Germany is pushing Poland to revive a stalled pipeline project with Norway.
Warsaw's main goal is to find other gas suppliers when its current contract with Russia's Gazprom expires in 2022.
"We are going to replace supplies from the east with other sources," Piotr Naimski, an MP in charge of strategic energy infrastructure at the Polish prime minister's office, said Tuesday at an event organized in the European Parliament in Brussels. "Our government is not eager to extend this contract."
The development highlights Central and Eastern Europe's ongoing struggle to unshackle itself from long-term contracts with the Russian energy giant, which have left countries in the region vulnerable to supply disruptions.
The region, together with the European Commission, has been very critical of Russia's Nord Stream 2 project, which would see Gazprom double its pipeline capacity to Germany under the Baltic Sea, bypassing the traditional route across Ukraine. The fear is that Russia would use its gas clout as a political weapon.

1-on-1 w/ Dondre Griffin
The 2015 AAU season was big for a lot of high school basketball players, specifically, the 2016 class. With this being the last time they lace up kicks for their summer program to play against talented competitors across the country, it was time to put up or shut up. A number of players had what some may consider a good summer, racking up mid-major and high-major scholarship offers. However, there were very few who had as good of a summer as Team Felton's 2016, 6'4 Point Guard, Dondre Griffin.
R.A.M. Prospects had the chance to sit down with Dondre Griffin to talk about his decision on where he's going to continue his basketball career and some other things….
R.A.M.: How's every going with school this year? Has "senior-itis" set-in yet?
DG: I'd have to say, it set in a little bit but not to the point where I'd be considered lazy… I'm comfortable where I'm at with my graduating credits. This makes it easier for me to focus a little more on basketball.
R.A.M.: What's your GPA right now?
R.A.M.: What's your class schedule like?
DG: I'm taking some classes over, but I have a lot of free time. I could graduate early if I wanted, so I didn't want to take anything too difficult or unnecessary.
R.A.M.: What do you do with the extra time?
DG: WEIGHT ROOM! That's the biggest thing [for me] when I get to college… So I'm in there every time I have a free period.
R.A.M.: Going into your last high school basketball season, what's your mindset like, what's the goal?
DG: In my mind, my role is the same but in reality my role has changed a lot. Last year, I was a leader and wanted to be the leading scorer on the team, but we know it just didn't go that way. This year, I have to be the leader for the team and make sure everyone is set-up. The main focus is to win a state championship! We're not trying to lose a game this season.
R.A.M.: Prior to the AAU season, how many offers did you have?
DG: I had 4 offers
"The main focus is to win a state championship! We're not trying to lose a game this season."
R.A.M.: After the 2015 AAU season, how many offers did you finish up with?
R.A.M.: Wow! Did that do anything to your ego?
DG: I mean, I've always been confident! **smiles**
R.A.M.: This was a huge summer for you… So out of the 29 offers you had, what was it about Murray State that made you say, "this is the school for me"?
DG: The way that they told me that they would use me [as a player] in their organization. Then when I went to see them, it was like, I could see myself here. The basketball atmosphere out in Kentucky is just crazy! I just could envision myself walking around the community, people hugging me and saying 'what's up', playing in their system, dropping buckets!
R.A.M.: Often, you're referred to as the "3 star" guard… What does that mean to you? How do you feel when you hear that?
DG: It's kinda disrespectful because coming where I'm coming from and where I've been previous years, I was a nobody. So to say I'm a "3 star" guard is basically saying, 'we acknowledge him, but we're just going to throw him with the rest of the bunch. He's not important enough to be ranked with the Top 100. We know he's here but he isn't really important.'
R.A.M.: So this goes with the whole mantra of you being overlooked and underrated?
DG: Definitely! A lot of this title stuff I consider to be political. I feel like, I go places and I do the same stuff the best shooter in North Carolina (according to ESPN) does at his standard or better, but I'm still not going to get recognition because he's on their map and I'm not.
R.A.M.: What do you do to overcome that?
DG: Got to stay focused! The main goal is college and there is no website or ranking(s) that can offer me a scholarship. At the end of the day it's about my parents not having to pay for me to go to school.
R.A.M.: Switching it up, what do you do in your free time outside of basketball?
DG: I like music, I like to draw, I like art – looking at, watching, and studying art. Like Picasso or Sandro Botticelli, stuff like that. My favorite piece of art is "Starry Night" (by Vincent van Gogh). Whenever I'm upset, I could just look at that painting and automatically be in a good place. I also like to be outside. I don't have to be doing anything specific, just outside away from the confines of 4 walls.
R.A.M.: What's your favorite food?
DG: Macaroni & Cheese!
R.A.M.: Can you sum up Dondre Griffin in a statement?
DG: Outgoing, but on the wild side. Everything he does has a purpose behind and he means everything he says. He's a serious person, but with a fun kind of twist to it! **smiles**
Griffin is an above average size Point Guard with elite level skills. He can handle the ball like he's 5'8 and is a marksmen from the 3 point line. Griffin is arguably one of the best shooters in the state – no exaggeration. He's also one of the mentally toughest, hardest working players you'll cross paths with. Whether it's his diet, workout regime, or getting shots up, Griffin is extremely strict with his schedule and makes sure continuing to improve comes before all else, except school work. With all these attributes being mentioned Griffin is still what you may consider underrated when it comes to rankings. R.A.M. Prospects wishes him well on his upcoming season and future endeavors at Murray State University!

Norwalk Heroin, Crack Dealer Goes To Federal Prison After DEA Wiretap Investigation
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. - Michael J. Ferguson Special Agent-in-Charge of the DEA's New England Division and Deirdre M. Daly, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that Anthony Scullark, also known as "A.J." and "Ace," 31, of Norwalk, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Victor A. Bolden in Bridgeport to 40 months of imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, for distributing heroin, and for violating the conditions of his supervised release from a prior federal conviction.
This matter stems from an investigation headed by the DEA's Bridgeport High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Task Force, Stamford Police Department, Norwalk Police Department and Connecticut State Police. The investigation included court-authorized wiretaps, controlled purchases of narcotics and physical surveillance.
According to court documents and statements made in court, in May 2016, Scullark was intercepted over a wiretap ordering 10 "sleeves" or "bricks" (1000 dosage units) of heroin from Kenneth Brickhouse, also known as "K.E."
On October 4, 2016, Scullark was arrested after he conducted a drug transaction in the parking lot of a Norwalk business. A search of Scullark's person, vehicle residence revealed approximately 65 bags of heroin, 19 small knotted bags of crack cocaine, $1,695 in cash, and eight cellphones. Scullark has been detained since his arrest.
On October 8, 2013, Scullark was sentenced in Bridgeport federal court to 21 months of imprisonment and three years of supervised release for conspiring to possess with intent to distribute, and to distribute crack cocaine. His term of supervised release began July 23, 2014.
On December 5, 2016, Scullark pleaded guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute heroin, and to violating the conditions of his supervise release.
Brickhouse pled guilty and, on March 9, 2017, Judge Bolden sentenced him to 10 years of imprisonment.
The DEA's Bridgeport High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Task Force includes members from the Bridgeport, Stamford, Stratford, Norwalk, Milford and Trumbull Police Departments, and the Connecticut State Police.

In the futuristic action thriller Looper, time travel will be invented – but it will be illegal and only available on the black market. When the mob wants to get rid of someone, they will send their target 30 years into the past, where a "looper" – a hired gun, like Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) – is waiting to mop up. Joe is getting rich and life is good… until the day the mob decides to "close the loop," sending back Joe's future self (Bruce Willis) for assassination. The film is written and directed by Rian Johnson and also stars Emily Blunt, Paul Dano, and Jeff Daniels. Ram Bergman and James D. Stern produce.
Written and Directed by: Rian Johnson
Produced by: Ram Bergman, James D. Stern
Executive Producers: Douglas E. Hansen, Julie Goldstein, Peter Schlessel, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Dan Mintz
Cast: Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Emily Blunt, Paul Dano, Noah Segan, Piper Perabo, and Jeff Daniels
This film has been rated R by the MPAA for STRONG VIOLENCE, LANGUAGE, SOME SEXUALITY/NUDITY AND DRUG CONTENT. Credits not final
I am also including a "Looper" Glossary to better understand some of the terms used on this Original Film:LOOPER GLOSSARY Looper: A low level assassin who works for a mob in the future, killing targets they send back and disposing of the bodies. Gat Man: A higher level gangster, the Gat men work locally with more typical thug responsibilities. They tend to look down on Loopers as a lot of untrained dandies. Blunderbuss: A short stout hand cannon used by Loopers. Powerful but with a wide spread – impossible to hit anything more than 10 yards away, impossible to miss anything closer. Gat: Generic term for a gun, but colloquial name for the Gat Men's high caliber revolver. Powerful, accurate and reliable. TK: Short for "telekinetic." By 2040 a very low grade telekenetic power has developed in about 15% of the general population. Far from being a superpower, it's weak and short range, and mostly used for bar tricks. Closing Your Loop: A stipulation in every Looper's contract that he may some day be required to kill his future self, thus closing his contract, getting a huge pay-off and erasing any trace of the very illegal arrangement with his future employer.

Probe ordered after tricolour found on garbage heap
Panaji's municipal corporation has ordered a probe Thursday after a national flag was found dumped in a garbage heap in the civic authority's premises
Panaji's municipal corporation has ordered a probe Thursday after a national flag was found dumped in a garbage heap in the civic authority's premises.
Mayor Yatin Parekh told IANS that he had ordered the Corporation of the City of Panaji (CCP) commissioner Agnelo Fernandes to probe how the tricolour was dumped in the garbage heap.

"This is a very serious incident. I have asked the commissioner to probe the entire incident. We will get to the bottom of this," he said.
The incident was brought to light Thursday evening by media photographers, who had arrived at the CCP head quarters in Panaji to cover a town hall meeting, which was being chaired by the mayor.
"We were shocked when we saw the flag in the garbage dump. When we took the first few photos, the CCP workers started abusing us and saying that we had put the flag on the heap on purpose, for taking sensational photographs," a photographer working for a local daily said.
President of the Photo Journalists Association of Goa (PJAG) Rosario Estebeiro told IANS that the association condemned the incident.
"It is a matter of national shame. Our photographers handed over the dumped flag to the mayor later," he said, adding that media photographers would co-operate with the probe.

It's a special edition of Show & Tell, and our class is celebrating our first year of revealing ourselves and learning about others.
How? By sharing one memorable post, of course.
Mine is about a friendship, which began with a bridge. (Yes, that is my most memorable S&T post of the last year.)
Last summer, Cassandra (a fairly new-to-me-blogger) posted a photo of a bridge and a story about her visit to it as an angry, defeated infertile. She ran a contest to guess where in the world this bridge was.
I won the contest, because I, too, had an infertility story about the same bridge!
Cassandra mailed me one of her hand-thrown pieces of pottery for my prize (currently holding lilacs that Tessa picked yesterday).
A few months later, and under secret conditions, Cassandra responded to my plight of chewed up woobies by having four of them sent to me.
And just last month, I finally got to meet Cassandra when she visited my town and spent an afternoon with my children and me. Again, she came bearing gifts, including another exquisite piece of her pottery.
So for my favorite S&T post of the last year, I select the one that kept on giving, the one that brought me a new, witty, intelligent, compassionate and generous friend — who is now pregnant with twins — woohoo!
Please click over to read the last 2 paragraphs (under the image) in her post. Warms my heart.

I received a funny e-mail this morning. {ominous music to sad trombone sound}. It was marked as spam but made it to the inbox: Its message header was:

In bold you'll see that DKIM and SPF identifiers are absent and therefore "likely forged." Strike one. Strike two is the IP address. Sent from 124.2017.151.85 which is in Guangdong CN. A quick look at my mail access logs shows no logins occurring from outside Canada.
Hi! As you may have noticed, I sent you an email from your account. This means that I have full access to your account.
I've been watching you for a few months now. The fact is that you were infected with malware through an adult site that you visited. If you are not familiar with this, I will explain. Trojan Virus gives me full access and control over a computer or other device. This means that I can see everything on your screen, turn on the camera and microphone, but you do not know about it. I also have access to all your contacts and all your correspondence. Why your antivirus did not detect malware? Answer: My malware uses the driver, I update its signatures every 4 hours so that your antivirus is silent. I made a video showing how you satisfy yourself in the left half of the screen, and in the right half you see the video that you watched.
With one click of the mouse, I can send this video to all your emails and contacts on social networks. I can also post access to all your e-mail correspondence and messengers that you use. If you want to prevent this, transfer the amount of $782 to my bitcoin address (if you do not know how to do this, write to Google: "Buy Bitcoin"). My bitcoin address (BTC Wallet) is: 1GoWy5yMzh3XXBiYxLU9tKCBMgibpznGio After receiving the payment, I will delete the video and you will never hear me again. I give you 48 hours to pay. I have a notice reading this letter, and the timer will work when you see this letter. Filing a complaint somewhere does not make sense because this email cannot be tracked like my bitcoin address. I do not make any mistakes. If I find that you have shared this message with someone else, the video will be immediately distributed. Best regards!-an extorting script-kiddie that entertained Allan on Feb 26 2019.
Then I learned something even better. There is a bitcoin abuse database:
Several people have reported this person/group for extortion. The funniest thing however, is this link. It summarizes how much Bitcoin the person has earned:
Despite multiple, visible reports, only $650 of Bitcoin have been generated by this person(s). Clearly bad at what they do.
I know so little about internet technology, but I know well enough to check suspicious emails for their headers. In case you've received a seemingly frightening e-mail check the header.
I'm leaving the bitcoin address below to make sure it gets picked up by search engines

A Couple's Dream Hawaiian Surf Shack
Nestled away in a remote and lush coastal nook of the Hawaiian island chain is the dream home of filmmaker Jess Bianchi and jewelry designer Malia Grace Mau, built by San Francisco-based artist Jay Nelson. This is one of those places that leaves a constant happy smile on your face while you're there. You just can't help but be in total awe of the artful craftsmanship, attention to detail, and curated taste in materials and decor. It's like being in an adult fort – a modern Swiss Family Robinson compound that reflects the sophisticated, traveled taste level of its free-spirited, creative owners.
Who are you? Tell us a little about yourself.
My name is Jess. I'm 34 years old and splitting my time between San Francisco, LA, and Hawaii with my soon-to-be wife Malia. I've moved around since I was a kid and have never lived in one place for very long so this rotation feels pretty natural to me. I'd say I'm from Venice beach, Kauai, Italy, and San Francisco. I surfed since I was a grom and just completed my first feature film.
What do you do for a living?
I just directed my first feature film. Malia is an artist and a jewelry designer. What are your favorite parts about the area in which you live now?Right now we are living on Hawaii. I love the tropical storms, the slow pace, and the little bubble Malia and I have created here.
Tell us about the property you live on here.
I bought a piece of land from an old childhood friend. He and his family owned an acre and sold me a quarter of it. It's a block from the beach and on a dirt road that doesn't get any traffic. There are roosters, rabbits, and fruit trees on the property and you can hear the waves when you go to sleep at night.
Your house looks amazing. Who designed and built it and how long did it take?
The house was designed and built by San Francisco artist Jay Nelson. He and a small team from the Outer Sunset flew out and put the house together in five weeks. A few months later another crew flew out and helped build the lanai.
What are your favorite parts of your home?
The wood and the wabi-sabi feel it has. Most of the wood is reclaimed from old growth redwood fence boards that Jay rescued, cleaned up, and strategically placed. When you lie down in bed you can really feel the love that was put into the home.
Tell us about the project you are now wrapping up with your neighbor, Aamion, and his family.
I just finished a film called Given. The working title while we were shooting was called The Goodwin Project. We traveled the world for 14 months with cameras, surfboards, and a family that consisted of two legendary surfers, a four year old, and a new born. The film is told through the eyes of the boy traveling along this journey that his father's father did with him. As they travel and surf around the world the kids learn important life lessons and also see different crafts from 15 countries.
The film is truly beautiful. From the childbirth to the snake dancer, the mountains in Nepal to that crazy bus in New Zealand, there are some pretty intense and dramatic scenes that you shot! Tell us about some of the craziest stories from filming and the production of the film.
That's a loaded question! What I can say is that it was the hardest thing I have ever done. A lot happened over the course of a year and a half… From riding on a boat for 20 hours on 30 foot swells in the Marshall Islands to getting tick bite fever in South Africa and thinking we were all going to die. Too many crazy things to recount.
Were you constantly stoked for the year traveling the world like that filming, or was it hard to work on the same project for so long?
So hard! I just barely finished. I almost quit a million times. Everyone around me was doing so many cool projects that they would start and finish within a month or two. Each day that passed felt like being the last kid in class taking the test while everyone else was out at recess.
What other projects do you guys have in the works back here?
Just finishing up the landscaping and art studio. Malia has started a new collection of jewelry after visiting the Gem Show in Tucson.
Any words of wisdom, sage advice from your travels, or thoughts on building your own surf shack?
As with anything in life, you can't be afraid to fail. Got to just go for it.[H]

Remote Programmer Private Limited is a web development company registered under Indian Company Act 1956. It has a valid licence to export/import software related services and products. The parent company, Datasoft Solutions was a partnership company started its operation in 1999. The same partners are now the directors of the new private limited company.
We are located in the heart of the city Kolkata, India and at a stone throw distance from E.M. Bypass, the widest road in Kolkata. It is also near Prince Anwar Shah Road, another busy road in Kolkata. So we have an advantage from communication point too. When you come from Airport, you do not need to change the road to reach us, just a 30 minutes drive through E.M. Bypass.
The operation was first started in 1999 with only one computer, by the present directors of the company, Lutfal Hoque and Champa Khatun. We started as a design only company but soon in one year we moved our focus to programming and web based solutions where our actual expertise lies.
Now we are some work alcoholic people working in the company under the same roof. We are still not big as we did not rush for rapid expansion but for stability and quality. Now we have streamlined both and really have a plan for rapid expansion.
We will love to undertake any web based project that can be done with our limited resources, however complex it is. At this moment our focus is only PHP/MySQL/Hybrid PhoneGap/Note.js platform for developing a large web based project that has mobile/desktop extension.
However, we worked with many web technologies like ASP.NET/JAVA/PERL/ColdFusion/python in past years, so it will never an issue for us to understand those systems to move to PHP/MySQL/PhoneGap/Node.js/Python-Django platforms or your new application requires interaction.
Our basic motto is not to make money by hook or by crook. So, we do not put the customer into risk by undertaking project where we are not confident. We don't deliver a project in a way where we can't give future support. We believe in quality system that can be easily maintained in future.
We maintain a strong ethical business policy to build a long term trust relationships with our customers. You can have a look on it at http://www.remoteprogrammer.com/company-policy/

Say hello to New Jersey's first babies of 2018!
TRENTON — Several babies were born in the first hours of 2018 but a South Jersey girl born just after midnight might just have been the first.
Initial reports from hospitals around New Jersey indicate E'laya Lewis was 2018's first Garden State baby, born at 12:01 a.m. at Cooper University Medical Center in Camden, according to hospital spokeswoman Wendy Marano.
Just two minutes behind was the delivery at Hackensack University Medical Center of Micayla Araujo to her parents Manny Araujo and Lainne Afonso of Kearney, according to spokeswoman Shari Hensley.Micayla arrived at five pounds 11 ounces and measured 18" in length. She was an early arrival and not due until January 8. Lainne Afonso began having contractions on New Year's Eve and headed to the hospital in the evening when her water broke.
"We are so proud of our new baby and the fact that she was born on New Year's Day. It's a sign that good things will happen for her and this is definitely the best way to start the New Year," Manny Araujo said.
There may be other babies that have not yet been reported. Parents must give permission for the information to be released to the media.
Sean Luke Gallanthen was born at 12:13 a.m. at Atlantic Health System's Newton Medical Center, according to spokesman Luke Margolis. He weighed in at 7 pounds 12 ounces and 20.5 inches.
Taras Gario was delivered 12:27 a.m. at University Medical Center of Princeton to his parents Tatiana Tarasova and Marco Gario at 21 inches long and weighing 9 pounds, 4 ounces
A boy named Declan was delivered at 12:54 a.m. at Virtua Voorhees to a Camden County couple, according to spokeswoman Peggy Leone. He was 19.6 inches and weighed 8 pounds 4 ounces.
Taheem Williams was the first baby born in 2018 at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center's Mainland Campus at 2:15 a.m., weighing 5 pounds 10 ounces, and 19 inches. His parents are Tiosha Goddard and Kaleem Williams, of Atlantic City.
Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston reported their first baby as a girl, Avyana Dhar-Verma born to Swati Dhar and Pankaj Verma at 2:40 a.m.
A boy was born at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center at 2:59 a.m.

Have you ever heard the expression, "Now you're cooking with gas"? People say it when someone comes up with a clever idea, or finds a good way to get something done.
Interestingly, when it comes to natural gas as a fuel source, both of those sentiments apply. How? Using natural gas is both a clever idea and a good way to accomplish everything from heating our homes and cooking meals, to generating electricity.
Not only is natural gas plentiful here in North America, it's also cleaner burning. It has fewer impurities than other fossil fuels, is less chemically complex, and when burned produces far fewer GHG (greenhouse gases) than many other fossil fuels.
And, while there are other sources of clean energy out there — notably wind and solar — with natural gas, even on overcast days with no wind, you can always count on a source of clean energy when you need it (Great news in winter).
Whether you depend on home heating in winter, or air conditioning in summer, natural gas is an efficient way to keep comfortable. Amazingly, almost 90 per cent of the energy value of natural gas makes it to consumers. That means very little is energy is spent when extracting and transporting it, a factor that helps keep costs and emissions down when you need to crank it up.
When you weigh the benefits, it's easy to see why natural gas currently meets about one quarter of North America's energy needs. And if you guess that as our population grows that percentage is headed upward, you'd be right.
Sorry, there were no results.

Alex Dunedin runs The Ragged University, a project that provides a platform for the free exchange of knowledge and skills in social spaces. Alex talks about his belief in free education and what inspires him:
1) Please give a brief explanation of what it is you do and why?
I run the Ragged University project which gets people to share their knowledge and skills in social places in the traditions of the Ragged Schools and the Dr Andrew Bell's Madras peer led teaching method. I do this because it generates inclusive social capital and updates a movement which changed the world for the better in a very tangible way, by providing free education.
2) What did you join the Fellowship for?
I joined the RSA Fellowship to be able to associate with the kind of people who are both skilled and motivated to improve the quality of life for everyone through enlightenment values.
3) In what capacity do you think you could contribute to society/the Fellowship?
I believe that I bring bridging capacity and innovative thinking to a compartmentalised society which is suffering from various forms of bureaucratic gridlock. I bring a different demographic to the Fellowship, one which is underrepresented and often not able to contribute it's expertise to such a noble movement of thought/action.
4) What would you change in society given the chance?
I want to increase social cohesion and enfranchise people in a civic way through realising 'Dead Capital' [Hernando de Soto Polar] and 'Dead Stock' [Adam Smith] in and around culture. Through legal equity and bureaucratic agency, a stable more reliable economy can yield its equilateral benefits. Most importantly, I aim to propagate inclusive forms of bonding, bridging and linking social capital to knit the fabric of a civic society which is invested in its own collective happiness and prosperity.
5) What recent bit of news have you heard which inspires you?
I have recently heard about how Wangari Maathai survived considerable ordeals and barriers to improve environment and society. She was awarded a Nobel prize for her contribution to 'sustainable development, democracy and peace' in 2004. What inspired me particularly was this notion of reclaiming fruitful land from the desert by planting trees – a powerful symbol in this age.
6) What did you learn last week? I learned last week that successful economic regeneration initiatives must act on multiple levels taking into consideration the interface between economic regeneration, social and environmental regeneration as well as acting in key strategic locations in order to assist the development and implementation of urban renewal plans. Such enterprises must be formulated in a way which is Specific, Measurable, Agreed upon, Realistic, and Timebound.
7) Tell us about another interesting Fellow you have spoken to.There are many. Professor Antonella Sorace who has a passion for linguistics and the importance of people to speak more than one language. Her work is particularly pertinent because the propensity of people born in the United Kingdom to speak only English produces considerable disadvantages socially, intellectually and neurologically. Her work is crystallised in the organisation of Bilingualism Matters and her pedagogical work is based at the University of Edinburgh.
8) What would you like to connect with Fellows about? Please tell us if there is anything you would like from other Fellows
I would like to call Fellows to collectively rally around the economic regeneration of Streatham Common after a bridge closure has resulted in the decimation of local businesses and jobs. This threatens to get worse if some affirmative action is not taken quickly. Streatham is a historically deprived area, is one of the oldest communities in London, and also has one of the broadest cultural demographics in the UK.
My social project, Ragged University, has been asked to project manage the regeneration of the area and it is a great opportunity for the RSA to demonstrate in tangible terms what we can collectively achieve. Personally, I would like to illustrate the Fellowship as an enlightenment organisation which can bring about the changes that the country needs in a time which needs optimistic messages.
I need Fellows to provide business mentoring for surviving businesses, regeneration advice, expertise with collective buying schemes for local businesses, and bring experience in accessing funding resources for the area's renewal. Also I am looking for Fellows across the country to come and showcase their work in Streatham to illustrate the diversity of the RSA in its work. People are losing their livelihoods and I believe the RSA needs to become more widely known for its vision.

Swimming, sunbathing, surfing, sailing, fishing, drinking, dancing, eating, sleeping – all this and plenty more can be found on Brighton beach, and plenty more besides.
Since Victorian times holidaymakers have been flocking to Brighton beach to enjoy its long stony shoreline, clean seas and the many attractions which line the promenade.
Today on hot weekends during the summer months you'll often struggle to find a space on Brighton beach to park your towel, as is the popularity of the beach among weekend visitors and locals. But there's more to the beach in Brighton than just a place to catch some UV. The beach is central to Brighton's thriving nightlife with many clubs and bars locate directly on the beachfront, some of the best hotels in Brighton can be found dotted along the seafront and watersports are an important part of Brighton life.
The Beach
Brighton beach itself spans from the east end of town at Brighton Marina all the way through to the Hove end which eventually breaks when it reaches Shoreham to the west of Brighton & Hove.
The whole of the beach is good for swimming and sunbathing but choosing your spot on the beach carefully will help you to get the most from your day. The busiest part of the beach is between the city centre, around the Grand hotel, and Brighton Pier area. This is where most of the bars and beachfront restaurants are located and its good for convenience, but on busy days can get jam packed so for a more relaxing time you might want to move further out of town towards the west pier (the burned down one!) where you'll find more space to lay on the beach and stuff for the kids to do with a recently refurbished play area.
If you continue further west along Brighton beach you'll come to the Hove end which is distinguished by its lawn areas along the promenade which are a popular place for locals to hang out, kick a football around and cook BBQ's. The beach at Hove is usually quieter than the Brighton end. Facilities here are more spread out but there's still plenty of options- several toilet blocks are available on Hove beach and there's a couple of beachfront cafes which do a roaring trade during summer months.
All along the Brighton & Hove ends of the beach you can rent deckchairs and sun loungers for the day at reasonable prices.
Brighton Pier
The Brighton Pier is the entertainment centre of Brighton beach and one of the cities most enduring and iconic landmarks. Centrally located south of Brighton's Old Steine area, the pier features several amusement arcades, a large funfair, a restaurant, bars and food stalls selling everything from doughnuts to biltong.
The pier is open from 10am to 10pm weekdays and 11pm on weekends. Find out more at http://www.brightonpier.co.uk
Beachfront clubs
Some of Brighton's best nightlife can be found right on Brighton beach with a number of nightclubs hidden away in the arches which run under the promenade.
Club Digital (previously Zap club) is one of the most famous Brighton beachfront clubs playing house music most weekends with a varied calendar of special nights. www.yourfutureisdigital.com/brighton/
The Honeyclub on Brighton Beach is one of Brighton's largest clubs having consolidated a number of adjacent bars into one venue. It attracts some big name DJ's as well as popular weekly club nights and student nights. http://www.thehoneyclub.co.uk/
The Fortune of War bar on Brighton beach, located directly down onto the beachfront from the centre of town and Odeon cinema, is probably the most popular of a proliferation of Beach bars in the area to the west of Brighton Pier.
Eating on Brighton beach
While fish and chips is still the order of the day for a true Brighton beach experience you can find more variety on the beach these days when it comes to places to eat. Alfresco restaurant (http://www.alfresco-brighton.co.uk) on the beachfront serves a good selection of Italian food. Due South (http://www.duesouth.co.uk/) is the place to go for locally sourced home cooked foods on Brighton Beach.
You can also find plenty of smaller alternatives dotted along the beach and of course plenty of fish and chip vendors!
During the summer months the nightclubs along the beach also open up to serve food and drink during the day and these are a good choice for reasonably priced meals on Brighton beach.
Watersports on Brighton beach
With the beach and sea playing such a pivotal role in Brighton life there's plenty of opportunities to take part in various watersports during your visit to Brighton. Brighton watersports (http://www.thebrightonwatersports.co.uk) hire kayaks by the hour and also offer beginners courses.
For the more adventurous Lagoon Watersports (http://www.lagoon.co.uk) run courses in sailing, powerboating and windsurfing out of Hove Lagoon, to the far west end of Hove beach.
Increasing in popularity, kitesurfing offers an adrenaline packed day, with excellent conditions usually possible at beaches either in or around Brighton. See JB Kitesurfing (http://jbkitesurfing.co.uk/) or the Brighton Kitesurfing academy (http://www.brightonkitesurfingacademy.co.uk/) for more details of classes.
Brighton beach for kids
Brighton Beach offers plenty to keep the kids entertained. Around the West Pier, next to Alfresco restaurant there's an excellent paddling pool and play park for younger kids. There's also a number of rides, including the famous carrousel towards the Brighton Pier end of the beach. To the east side of the Brighton Pier you'll find mini golf and the Volks electric railway (http://www.volkselectricrailway.co.uk/) and further along the paved Madeira drive you'll find a number of fairground rides for the kids.
Of courses there's also the fun fair and amusements on Brighton Pier itself or the Sealife centre located just opposite the pier, which are both great ways to entertain kids for an afternoon even if the weather isn't so good.
Brighton nudist beaches
Brighton's official nudist beach is the Black Rock beach, which can be found east of the Brighton Pier and near to the Brighton Marina. It's a partly secluded bit of beach surrounded by built up mounds of pebbles, although the beach is still visible from the elevated promenade. This is the only part of Brighton beach where nude bathing is permitted.

Jeff Gerke says: The New Books Are Here!
After the success of our inaugural list of Christian speculative novels, Marcher Lord Press is proud to announce the release of its second list.
By Darkness Hid by Jill Williamson is a thrilling fantasy about a young hero and heroine who are discovering their abilities to "bloodvoice"--to communicate telepathically.
It is a land literally divided into Darkness and Light, and mystery surrounds both sides. Achan, a young stray (worse than a slave) is hearing strange voices in his head, and Vrell, a girl disguising herself as a boy to avoid a forced marriage, is trying to learn to block out the voices pressing into her mind.
Meanwhile, strong men with foul agendas seek them both. And a strange new voice, higher than them all, calls to Achan. Deceptions will be unveiled, foes will be found out, and identities long hidden will be exposed. No longer will they be...By Darkness Hid.
Library Journal calls By Darkness Hid a "thoroughly entertaining and smart tale" and gives it the coveted "highly recommended" stamp of approval.
Starfire by Stuart Vaughn Stockton is as original as it is alien. This science fiction thriller takes you to a world where saurians--dinosaur-like beings who speak and use advanced technolgoy--wage war against one another and seek to control devastating weaponry left over by an ancient civilization.
Rathe is a saurn from a low caste, whose only hope of bettering himself is through the combat ring. On his first mission with his new military squad, he is thrust in the middle of a destiny larger than he could ever imagine.
Torn between his desire to protect a small saurin in his charge and the counsel of a prophet representing a God he doesn't believe in, Rathe is forced to make a horrible choice, one in which he will cause suffering no matter what he chooses.
Starfire is utterly unpredictable and irresistably engaging. As Christian fantasy novelist Donita K. Paul says, "I was thoroughly enmeshed in this out-of-this-world world!"
The Dark Man by Marc Schooley is difficult to classify. It is equal parts near-future adventure, dystopian America, spiritual and psychological thriller, and romantic espionage spy drama.
And also helicopter gunships. And a building that talks. And a screaming banshee. Plus bombs, disguises, Ferris wheels, and a mysterious wooden puzzle box.
It's a Christian Twilight Zone that is impossible to put down--or forget.
Charles Graves is a master of disguise who infiltrates the final cells of the underground church--and brings them down. But this futuristic Saul of Tarsus has his own Damascus Road experience, and suddenly he must help the very ones he sought to exterminate.
If only his dead brother would leave him alone. And the talking wood-block puzzle.
The Dark Man is intense psychodrama with masterful writing and deep Christian thoughtfulness.
By the time you read this, all three of these incredible new novels will be available for purchase.
BONUS: If you buy one or more of these books within the first week of April, you will receive a free download of the PDF versions of the book(s) you purchased. While you're waiting for the novels to arrive in your mailbox, you can begin reading them right away. And when the hard copies actually arrive with their beautiful covers, you'll want to crack them open and read them all over again!
I know that you and your fellow fans will understand that the divinely ordained timing of the adoption of our precious special needs daughter has slightly impacted the ship dates of the new Marcher Lord Press books. But you'll still be able to enjoy them on April 1. Read the trip journal here.

Get ready for an all-over-the-place blog post!
First up: our adorable pigeon pumpkin!
Have I ever mentioned that I. LOVE. PIGEONS?! Seriously love them. Need to own one.
First up: our adorable pigeon pumpkin!
Have I ever mentioned that I. LOVE. PIGEONS?! Seriously love them. Need to own one.
ANYWAYS, I'm sure you recognize that this particular pigeon is from one of our (my) very favourite children's books series by Mo Willems:
HA! Just looking at all the covers makes me laugh :)
P.S. Did you know about "The Pigeon Wants a Puppy!" and "The Pigeon Needs a Bath!"??? ...I'm going to need to get my hands on those ASAP!
(We're telling the pigeon: "DON'T DRIVE THE BUS!" hehe)
Next up: a new science unit all about Daily and Seasonal Changes.
To kick off our new unit, we split into 4 groups--one group for each of the 4 seasons. The kids worked together to brainstorm every single little thing they could think of associated with that season. I am always blown away by all the things they come up with...more than I ever would have thought of!
(we also found ourselves referencing books from our classroom library to help fuel our thinking...what a great opportunity to introduce basic research skills! The kids went nuts when they discovered that they were doing research: I overheard one little guy say, "Wait guys, we need to do some more research!" haha too stinkin' cute.)
After creating our brainstorms, we presented them to the class. Next week, we will take ideas from all 4 brainstorms and compile them into one big anchor chart.
In writing, we began our making connections focus with one of my favourite fall books, Spookley the Square Pumpkin:
We first wrote a diagnostic piece (I simply read the story and asked the kids what it might have reminded them of--no prompts, no sharing, cold-turkey writing!).
(click the pic on the right to download your FREE copy!)
The next day we discussed our connections, made a making connections success criteria checklist, I modelled a level 4 connection, and we wrote our same {or new} connections once again.
Last but not least, I'm dying to share our new dry erase binders with you!!!
I spent all last week working on it and launched it in my classroom with a few of my kiddies this week.
My favourite thing about it?
Read. Write. Wipe.
I find erasing dry erase markers from page protectors is way cleaner than on a whiteboard!
(the photos featured in this post do not reflect the updates)
I originally began creating these worksheets as alternative to center activities for a couple of my emergent level learners. But the unexpected surprise was that all of my kids fell in love with the activities!
Seriously. What is the deal with first graders and dry erase markers?!
I ended up printing out 3 extra copies of each worksheet and making a total of 5 binders so that there are 3 "community" binders for the whole class to use. I will make them available as a Fast-Finishers activity. SUPER for a little extra practice!
Here's a close up of what I included in my binders:
And the BEST thing about this is...NO LAMINATING OR CUTTING! woohoo! (If you're a teacher, I know you share my excitement!) All you do is print each page and place the pages you want to include in your binder in basic plastic page protectors. Stick everything in a binder, grab a whiteboard marker, and you're ready to go!
If you are interested in using this binder in your classroom or even at home with your own little learner, click the pic:
Have a fabulous weekend :)

A gaming centre planned for Salmon Arm has been delayed but is still in the works.
Although construction was initially set to begin in October 2013, lease arrangements have pushed back the expected construction date to April of this year.
The Adams Lake band is leasing the property – the former home of the GM dealership at 10th Street SW and the Trans-Canada Highway – to the Berezan Group, which will build and operate the 26,000-sq.ft. Chances Salmon Arm.
Adams Lake Band Chief Nelson Leon explains that the lease term is changing, so the band must hold a referendum to accommodate the change.
"We're happy to say we have entered into an agreement to sign a lease, pending a referendum, from annual to prepaid."
He said the initial plan was for a 49-year lease paid as an annual rent. The Berezan Group has since requested a 49-year prepaid lease.
An information meeting for band members will be held on March 12 in Chase, as well as in Vancouver for band members there. The referendum vote will take place on March 13.
"They're targeting for construction to start in April," Leon said, adding that, although an annual rent was the council's preferred option, the new term would hold advantages for both the band and the developer.
"For the band, a prepaid lease allows us an influx of revenue so we could capitalize major projects – the resources are available to the band immediately. It allows the developer to have certainty on the expense side, in terms of doing business planning."
About a dozen Chances gaming centres are already operating in B.C., including ones in Kamloops and Kelowna.
They offer slots, bingo and dining, but not table games such as blackjack or poker with live dealers.
At an open house in June of last year, the Berezan Group, which will be responsible for all operational requirements of Chances Salmon Arm, stated in its promotional material that it "will create high-quality local jobs, both during construction and operation. Berezan will be involved in the wider Salmon Arm community, including hiring local trades and First Nations."
BC Lottery Corporation representatives, who also attended the open house, stated that the corporation's marketplace assessment indicated there is demand to support a gaming centre in Salmon Arm.
