ok so how many times have you come back from abroad with money still in your pocket or you're at the airport and wish you could take more money but don't want to be fleeced by the airport foreign exchange? Here's the solution and it stops those greedy exchange guys getting there slice of our money - letsxchange is an app similar in concept to Uber. Once registered you can 'request' a search for someone, like you, who wants to exchange currency. Here's how it can work - you are at the airport waiting to fly home. You have $300 left and you use your letsxchange app. Someone in the airport is looking for dollars and gets your request. You meet up and swap money. Some App info - Access to up to date exchange rates and a suggested rate you can use. So as an example the airport exchange rate is 1.70 USD per £1 to buy back and you bought them for 1.50 USD per £! which means you paid £200 for those 300 USD but when you sell them to the airport exchange you only get £176 back. The app might suggest exchanging the Dollars with someone for 1.55 which means you get £196.50 back AND the person you exchanged them with also get a bargain as they have also made a small saving with a better exchange rate than is currently available. Once you register you stay live and your GPS will add you to any requests nearby as you move around. You can use an avatar and no personal information is exchanged. In fact no means of contacting or exchanging info will be started until you accept the request and both parties accept the exchange rate. Personal safety is a priority and all meetings should be organised around this. The app will prompt and give advice regards meeting points. This is already the case with ebay or gumtree. As the app progresses it will develop further. Suggested revenue can come from the seller who will make a payment of £1 to register (considering they are making £20 profit over a standard exchange system that ain't too bad)

Here--the place
where we speak their names
in shadows and reflections,
the trace of our belonging,
in this refuge--still living in
threads of memory--even when
the infection of violence, chaos
of new explosions force us
to remember the dead, the scared,
the hungry in Aleppo, Baghdad,
Sana'a, San Francisco, Jerusalem
we carry this prayer on our lips
Hold your baby tight with the faith
that someone will receive you, want
you, want to know the story
of your life, someone's hands
will circle you, someone's heart
will hold you, someone's nation
will welcome you after someone
else sought your erasure
we carry this prayer on our lips
In the requiem of light, you will be
more than a displaced person,
you will no longer be adrift
in the open sea where your suitcase
is the raft of your dreams, where
your sacred prayer can float
in the air of magnified hope
and the cycles of the universe
cannot stir a flower without
troubling a star,
Here, where we can be
moving in the canopy
of the human.

Caney Valley (Kan.) High School varsity basketball teams have experienced a type of sister-kissing week at the Wilson County Classic midseason tourney.
Caney Valley (Kan.) High School varsity basketball teams have experienced a type of sister-kissing week at the Wilson County Classic midseason tourney.
The Lady Pups and Pups both went 1-1 in their first two tourney games and will be competitive today for third place in the girls and boys bracket, respectively.
Following are summaries of this week's action, so far:
Lady Pups
On Monday, the Caney Valley squad — which is the defending tourney champion —blasted Neodesha, 63-39, to advance to the semifinals.
A trio of Lady Pups scored in double-figures, Desiree Nelson (16 points), Abigail Billingsley (15) and Makenzie Vining (13).
Candace Inman and Natasha Sanders added five points apiece.
By halftime, the Lady Pups were up by 17, 38-21, and cruised to the 24-point victory.
"We got really good bench play," said Lady Pups' head coach Tom Nelson. "Plus, our role players really stepped up."
Next up, the Lady Pups faced Top 10-ranked Independence, in a high-powered semi.
Independence took advantage of Caney Valley's three-point shooting drought to win, 51-38.
The Lady Pups shot 0-for-13 from behind the arc — the first time Caney Valley girls have failed to make a three-pointer since 2010, Nelson said.
"We didn't make our three-pointers and we let that affect other parts of our game," explained Nelson. "But, it was a really good midseason game for us. We feel like it's a game we could have won."
Vining registered 18 points to lead the Lady Pups, followed by Kyndal McIntosh with seven, Nelson with six and Kolbi McIntosh with five.
The Lady Pups return today to the tourney for the 4:45 p.m. third-place game, against Girard.
Caney Valley boys opened tourney play be exacting revenge on Neodesha, 66-41.
Neodesha had defeated Caney Valley, by five, in the season opener last December.
Kenny Brown scored 19 points to pace the Pups in Monday's win, followed by freshman Baylor Melchori with 11, Levi Wyrick with 10 and Jacob Matthews with nine.
After leading by just three, 28-25, at halftime, the Pups surged to a 14-point advantage, 48-34, by the end of the third quarter.
After halftime, "we played with a lot more intensity again," said Caney Valley head coach Criss Davis. "I thought we came out and took care of business. … Kenny and Levi are doing an outstanding job on the boards."
In the semifinal, Caney Valley fell to Girard, 47-26, in a tale of two halves.
Going into intermission, Caney Valley owned an 18-17 lead.
"For a half, I thought we probably played the best basketball we've played all year," Davis said. "We executed what we needed to do."
But, in the final two quarters, Caney Valley scored just eight points.
Davis praised the defensive work of Jonathan Estes in holding Girard's best scorer to just five points — 21 less than his average — in a box-and-one defense.
Brown tallied nine points to lead the Pups, followed by Estes with eight and Wyrick with six.
For tonight's third-place game, Caney Valley is set to take on Leon Bluestem.

Visuals are powerful, people need to see others like themselves to believe they can do it too for example everyone loves the idea of a hero. Heroes are strong and loved by the people they protect. Here are some great hero's that you might enjoy that celebrate diversity and show that anyone can be a hero.
So the latest hype in the super hero world is Wonder Woman but did you know she had a sister name Nubia. I am ready for this movie or series; this duo would be amazing. She has only made an appearance in the comics but I have high hopes for her.
Next on my list is Luke Cage, this superhero blew up the moment Netflix put the series out. Everyone fell in love with the characters humble but brave personality. Just like everyone else I am waiting patiently for the next season.
Now this next movie will be releasing out soon, the Black Panther has been hype to the max. Everyone is waiting them to hit the theaters. Several well-known actors like lupita nyong'o who is an amazing woman and Nick Cannon the boy who made his big break as a drummer.
Now this one is a personal favor, Storm. She was my favorite superhero growing up, I wanted to dye my hair to look like hers as a kid and I still do. She is a part of the x-men and is seen as a leader in the group.
This super hero is not as well-known as some of the other but she is just as good, Vixen. She recently became a part of an animated series and I am in love with the outfit. If they were to make a movie I hope Lupita claims her role. She has also made an appearance in the Justice league.
I do not own any of these images.

The primary advantage of a teacher-made test is the ability of the teacher to design a customized test that matches the learning goals and content of the class. A key drawback is that teacher-made tests are often narrow in scope, and aligned only with the individual teacher's goals.
Another advantage is that the teacher controls the format and can go beyond the traditional multiple-choice and true-false assessments used in standardized tests. Teachers can also modify their tests on a more regular basis as needed. The lack of uniformity in teacher-made tests is another drawback. Inconsistency makes it difficult for school districts to assess student performance relative to state and national peers.

Miir Bicycles: Changing the World One Ride at a Time
Bryan Papé believes that a bike is more than just a frame, two wheels, and a bunch of components. He sees the bicycle as an instrument of social change. "After clean water and sanitation, one of the biggest impediments to economic development in Africa is transportation," Papé says. "Kids can't get to school. People can't get to market to sell their goods. And the simplest, most affordable solution is bicycles."
For every bike sold through Papé's two-year-old company Miir, another bike is donated to someone in need. The program, called One4One, began with Miir's first product, water bottles. One dollar from each bottle sold—which Papé says is enough to provide clean water for one person for a year—supports well projects in developing countries. "The starting point for the company was to make a great product and build a sustainable business," Papé says. "Once we realized we could do that and we put in place a model that can support itself, then we turned our attention to taking some of what we were making and giving it back. Looking at the problems out there like clean water and lack of transportation, and seeing how easily they can be solved, I just feel it's important to try and do a part."
We chatted with Papé from Miir's Seattle, Washington, headquarters about how the program works, the cost of clean water, and why he believes that everyone who wants a bike should get one.
How did you get into
Before Miir, I was minority in Little Hotties, which makes hand warmers. We took Little Hotties from being a company of five people to a company of hundreds, and after we sold the company in 2009 I was looking for a new challenge. Around that time, I was at REI testing facilities here in Seattle testing hand warmers, and they had all these water bottles lying around that they were testing, too. I struck up a conversation with some of the guys there, and they were telling me, "Nobody has a great design for water bottles." I didn't realize it then, but that's how I got started with Miir and making bottles.
So what sets Miir bottles
When we began this project in 2009, there weren't a lot of bottle companies out there. That has changed in the last few years, but when we started, the options were limited and the features on many of the bottles were basic. So with Miir, we concentrated on very simple, clean design. We wanted a bottle that fits into cup holders. The bottles have fewer threads than most, so one twist and it's open. The opening is just the right size for drinking: big enough for ice, but not so big that it gives you a water beard when you drink. Even the shape is optimized. The shoulders aren't abrupt but are more like a wine bottle for smoother pouring.
Where does the give back component come in?
A lot of water bottle companies are based on good ideas—don't buy single-use bottles; plastic is bad—but the messaging is negative. I wanted Miir to have a positive outlook. Around that time I came across Charity Water, a not-for-profit out of New York, and I learned that almost a billion people in the world don't have access to clean water. Charity Water didn't just present this problem, though; they had solutions. When I realized how little it takes to give access to clean water—that $20 can buy a person clean water for 20 years—I decided that was going to be our message and our cause. It's not about "Don't do this," or "Don't do that." It's about doing something about a problem by simply purchasing a great product. And we made it really simple. One dollar from every bottle goes to clean water projects.
With the scandals
surrounding Lance and LiveStrong and Greg Mortenson's Central Asia Institute,
there's definitely more skepticism now about charities. How can people know
that their money is being used effectively and how you say it's being used?
Every bottle comes with an individual tracking bracelet, and you go online and register that bracelet after you buy the bottle. Then, in six to 12 months, Miir will send you an email with a locator that shows the well project that the money from your bottle has gone to fund. There's a map and pictures of the well. We're all about transparency and showing people what we're doing.
So how did you go
from bottles to bikes?
I went to Liberia to see some of the well projects we were working on firsthand. Being over there in Africa, I learned about people's needs beyond just clean water and sanitation. We were asking everyone what else we could do, what they needed. And one theme that kept coming up over and over again was the lack of transportation. People told us they couldn't sell their goods because it took them too long to walk to the market. They said their children didn't go to school because they had no way of getting there. Seeing that firsthand was pretty much what lead to the bike project. I was asking, "What else can make a difference?" And the answer was bikes. The bike is the most affordable form of transportation.
How does the bike
program work?
I got connected with Kevin Menard from Transition Bikes, and he has been so helpful in getting this off the ground. He did a lot of the design work, and he helped us with sourcing from Taiwan. We're selling three models of bikes right now—a single speed, a five speed, and a mixte. They cost between $700 and $900. And for every bike we sell, we pay to purchase one bike, either through World Bicycle Relief in Africa or in the U.S. through the Boise Bicycle Project. Giving a bike in Africa costs $134. It's less in the U.S.—between $70 and $90 per bike—because it's a co-op model that fixes up old bikes. We split the donations 50/50 between international and domestic because while it's sexy to say that you're giving bikes in Africa, there's a bit of a stigma about giving domestically. And we feel it is just as important to help provide bikes to the homeless and immigrants and others who can't afford bikes in this country.
So you just give the bikes away?
No, it's really important to us that we don't just provide handouts. We have study-to-own and work-to-own contracts with both partners so the recipients earn the bike over time through work or performance. We've learned that ownership gets people vested in what they are doing and leads to sustainability.
Miir bikes aren't expensive, but they aren't exactly cheap either. I assume that's because the price includes the second bike to be donated?
We could make cheaper bikes and sell them to consumers for less, but we're committed to making great bikes. Our bikes are well made and are going to last. We source high-quality bearings and parts. The tubing is really good, and the welds are solid. And there are extra perks like baskets and bottles. We're definitely not competing with the total budget companies, but we're competitive with other comparable bikes from brands like Trek, Linus, and Felt. We have to make sure that we're not just tacking the cost of our give onto the cost of our product. If you were to buy a comparable bike to what we sell and donate a bike through World Bike Relief, it would cost you more than buying a Miir.
I see on the site that bikes are going for $1,000 right now?
That's a special going on right now to become part of the Founder's Circle. For the extra money, you get a hand-numbered frame with a special edition head badge that signifies that you got in on the ground floor. You also get a co-branded Chrome bag and some other bits and pieces. Pricing will revert to normal retail prices after the first of the year.
What does the name
Miir mean?
One of our inspirations was John Muir, the naturalist and environmentalist who did so much work in our National Park system. We wanted that nod to the outdoor industry and the environment. Also, in Russian, the world "mir" means world or peace. We melded these two things to make it intrinsically ours.
Why are you convicted about giving back?
My family has been in business for themselves forever, and they've always been committed to giving back. I guess I just learned that message of taking what you earn and giving a portion. I was reminded of that in Liberia, where I met a man named Prince Kondoh. Prince is an entrepreneur who works with a friend of mine's not-for-profit over there, but on the side he takes care of 30 blind people. They sell furniture and baskets to subsist. Incidentally, we're working with him on a project to build bike baskets we can sell. Anyway, I asked him one day, "How can you take care of 30 blind people?" It's such a huge undertaking, such a commitment. And his response was, "How can you not?"
How is Miir doing?
The response has been really good. We believe in the bikes, and people seem to really like them. But it's more than just products. Our bikes and bottles can really impact other people's lives, so when we can convey that story to our consumers, they get really stoked. We're not just making another product to fill the shelves. We're selling a message of hope and change. In the end, that's a really easy sell.

I have struggled to understand isohedral class IH9. I could see that it fit Heesch type TG1G1TG2G2 but was not sure it always fit TG1G2TG2G1. Playing with it in the process of yet another update to Exploring Tessellations: A Journey through Heesch Types and Beyond, I realized that IH9 is the class for tiles that simultaneously fit TG1G1TG2G2 and TG1G2TG2G1. It can fit both because flipping a IH9 tile over a horizontal line give the same result as flipping it over a vertical line. Both TG1G1TG2G2 and TG1G2TG2G1 have pg symmetry, but IH9 has pgg symmetry, so that the tiling can be rotated 180 degrees and it will reproduce itself.
An earlier post reported that a way to construct IH9 tiles in Tesselmaniac! is to use the CGCG template and ignore one of the C lines. An alternative is to use the CCGG template, also ignoring one of the C lines. Below are two ways of tessellating the letter "Z" with screen shots from Tesselmaniac! showing how each can be created in CGCG and CCGG.
In this first picture showing CGCG tiles, the green line is eliminated to combine two tiles into one IH9 tile.
In the CCGG case, the yellow line is eliminated to combine two tiles into one IH9 tile. In all the cases shown here, the midpoints of the C lines are the centers of two-fold rotation.
The second Z fits in a different way. Below the yellow line is the line to eliminate to get the IH9 tile.
In this fourth picture, the yellow line that is eliminated connects across the stem of the letter.
To see why IH9 can be both TG1G1TG2G2 and TG1G2TG2G1, consider how the glide lines in each are oriented. Below is a simple tile that tessellates as TG1G1G2G2. The purple lines are lines of glide reflection. They are perpendicular to the edges that are the TT edges.
The shape of a class IH9 tile allows both sets of glide-reflection lines. Flipping the tile horizontally gives the same result as flipping it vertically.
The May revision of Exploring Tessellations: A Journey through Heesch Types and Beyond was substantial. I corrected dozens of mistakes, most small but a few larger (such as misclassifications of tessellation patterns) and added about a dozen pages. I also reorganized the book, moving sections and dividing the Explorations chapter into two chapters. I doubt if this will be the last revision; I am sure that many mistakes remain.

Director Alberto Nerone, considering this MUTEK milestone says:
"This last decade has been a rollercoaster of emotion and challenge, with Barcelona's local community at the heart of all our decisions. We continue to work hard on bringing visionary international artists not normally presented here, while uplifting and spotlighting the rich local and national scene of talents we have. The mission is to remain rooted in Catalunya and further develop transcontinental synergies with our amazing global community. 10 years is a lifetime in this business, and next March we look forward to laying the groundwork for 10 more, with experiences and offerings that push us, and our audiences into new frames that alter perceptions, expectations and consolidate their confidence in the whole MUTEK project."

We all know about long-distance love and the way it wreaks havoc and NEVER, EVER actually works, right? But, of course, even when a relationship starts in the same place, sometimes life gets in the way.
Business travel happens, people get transferred while their love must stay put and sometimes, despite the odds, distance really works for people. But who are these people? They are the ones who, despite the odds, are able to find ways to make distance work for them.
Here are 7 ways that people bridge the distance and keep love alive even when there are hundreds of miles between them.
- Fundawear: OK, so it is not available for market quite yet, but the idea here is really beyond brilliant. The woman wears this underwear that is controlled remotely by her partner's phone. He's in a business meeting in London and suddenly -- BUZZ -- from across the Atlantic. Hot, no?
- Phone Sex: It's an oldie but a goodie here. Talking dirty does not come easily for many of us (ha! Pun intended), but it's a pretty amazing tool that can be used as a confidence builder and improve your sex life even when you are together in person.
- Snapchat: For those of us who feel a little uncomfortable with the idea of sexting naked photos, there is always private snapchat. The idea here is that the people you send it to can only see it for a set amount of time. After that time, it's gone! Poof! And you don't have to worry about your photos being seen by others.
- Watch movies together: It may seem weird, but one thing I always miss when my husband travels (read: ALL THE TIME) is our nights alone after we put the kids down when we can just hang and watch movies. So we now fire up HBO Go and the DVR, jump on Skype and watch together. It's not the same, but it works and gives us our alone time still. Big win!
- Play games online: Yes! Really! Sometimes it can be fun to just connect through scrabble online or chess or any game the two of you can play together using your computers. Honestly, with technology, you can almost feel like you are in the same living room!
- Read the same books: When I had long distance relationships in the past, it was always nice to share books back and forth. Sometimes we'd send them through the mail, but reading at the same time was even more special. It gave something to talk about during those long days spent apart and kept us on the same page. Literally.
- Kiss Phone: STOP the presses! There is something called the kiss phone. Who needs love in the same room?! Am I right??
How do you keep long distance love alive?

"Out With the Old and Up With the New: China's construction boom and its effect on traditional residential sites"
Thomas Huff
In this research project, I study the recent housing and construction boom in China's cities and how it has affected the lives of the residents in these cities. More specifically, I examine the contrast between the new modern high rise apartments and office buildings and the more traditional older residential sites in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Wuhan. As the pace of urbanization is speeding up in China, modern high-rise apartments and luxury gated communities are replacing the traditional residential alley and courtyard neighborhoods. In some cities, new buildings are erected so fast that some old residential compounds are turned into 'urban slums" by comparison. In my research I intend to find out the thoughts and opinions about China's rapid urbanization from both sides of story: from the perspective of the people being forced out of their old neighborhoods as well as the people moving into the new modern residential areas. Not only will I document the contrast between the old and new residential sites within each city, I will also highlight the differences housing developments between Beijing,Shanghai, Shenzhen and Wuhan. I am also interested in looking at the working and living conditions of construction workers whose labor has transformed China's urban landscape, through visiting the construction sites in Beijingand Shanghai as each city prepares for the 2008 Olympics and 2010 World Expo respectively.

Wired Magazine Cover
Wired magazine looks awesome with me on the cover! Although unfortunately, that's the only issue I'm on the cover of.
They had an ad campaign with Xerox that allowed you to send in a photo and be on the cover of YOUR home delivery issue. I can't image that I made it on any other covers, but who knows.
I'll keep my phone line open for calls just in case... ;-)

Summiting Mount Kilimanjaro is an amazing accomplishment for even the most skilled athlete. For international climb¬ing expert Kevin Cherilla and nonprofit organizer Kristen Sandquist, a trip to the top with eight blind climbers in 2009 proved to be more than a just another notch in their proverbial climbing harness. It be¬came an experience that altered their lives—and work—ever since.
Following that climb, and a visit to a local school for blind and albino children, Cherilla and Sandquist combined their skills and built what is now known as K2 Adventures Foundation, the goal of which is to care for individuals with disabilities and to provide them with resources and adaptive equipment that oftentimes insurance companies cannot or will not furnish.
"Disability is a very broad statement," says Sandquist. "It makes it easy for us to help everybody."
From medical necessities such as wheelchairs and catheters, to custom-made equipment that al¬lows disabled children and adults to explore the world beyond the confines of their wheelchairs, if it can be imagined, K2 will try to make it a reality.
From medical necessities such as wheelchairs and catheters, to custom-made equipment that al¬lows disabled children and adults to explore the world beyond the confines of their wheelchairs, if it can be imagined, K2 will try to make it a reality.
For 7-year-old Hunter Pochop of California, spina bifida kept him pursuing his one dream: surfing. While specialized weighted boards that won't flip over are available, the cost of one was prohibitive to Hunter's family. Thanks to K2, he now has his own surfboard—and specialized surf lessons with famed therapy dog Surf dog Ricochet.
Then there's Kyle Maynard. The 28-year-old was born without arms and legs, but that didn't stop him from becoming an accomplished athlete. When Maynard announced that he planned to ascend Mount Kilimanjaro, he reached out to K2 for assistance in developing equipment that would allow him to tackle the mountain without the aid of prosthetics.
"Kyle was the biggest challenge for us because we had never worked with anyone without arms and legs, " says Sandquist.
"When you're dealing with someone who has no arms and no legs, and their goal is to get adaptive equipment, nobody wants to do it. There are custom fittings, but no insurance is going to cover it. It's considered a luxury item."
K2 teamed with Phoenix-based Orthotics Specialists to create carbon graphite caps, or "shoes," compete with Vibram soles that fit on the ends of May¬nard's arms and legs. Flagstaff manufacturer Kahtoola then designed crampons to fit the shoes. Both companies donated their time and equipment.
In January 2012, Maynard bear-crawled his way almost 20,000 feet to reach the summit, the first quadruple amputee to complete the climb. Later that year, he was awarded an ESPY for his feat. Today, Maynard is not only one of the faces of K2 Adventures Foundation, he's a member of its board.
One of the ways the foundation raises money is by offering guided expeditions to such extreme destinations as Tanzania, Peru and Nepal through its partner company K2 Adventure Travel. In addition to customized treks, each trip includes a few days of community service at one of three orphanages to which K2 provides services, equipment, medical and dental care, and monetary aid.
"To be told over and over again that you can't do something because you're in a wheelchair, that you can't do that because you're paralyzed, that you can't do that because there's no equipment for you, eventually you're going to believe that you can't do anything," she adds. "We're here to show you that you can. We can fix it. We can make it work."

Web Presence of a Dance/Movement Therapist
As you may or may not know, Columbia College Chicago is a pretty hip school. Its got a flashy website, flashy photos featuring flashy, young people — people like myself who write for a really cool blog. All jokes aside, Columbia's culture emphasizes the importance of having web presence for its students; the school understands that the current trend in art and education is utilizing the millions of web related resources out there…
So where do dance/movement therapy and dance/movement therapists fit into all this? What does 'web presence' mean within our line of work?
Although I've plugged the crap out of the American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA) website via my blog, you can see, if you've actually ever been to the site, that it's not very hip. The overall website is somewhat bland and drab. And check out the pictures archive, archive being the important word here. I am fairly certain that the photo archive was last updated in 2007 — five years ago! Not to mention the lovely pictures that look like they're from 1992, which feature acid washed jeans (and no, not the cute ones from American Apparel).
So clearly the association doesn't seem to emphasize the importance of web presence amongst the field. Looking elsewhere, however, I did come across a few dance/movement therapy blogs, but not an overwhelming amount.
Trust me, as a dance/movement therapy student, I get that our culture isn't prone to being technically advanced. Instead, we focus on the here and now and the overall importance of making actual human connections. What kind of therapists would we be if we didn't? You can only imagine my initial frustration upon receiving this position (grad ambassador) and being expected to blog and upload pictures to our Flickr account. I seriously sighed and said, "WHAT?!" a million times during my first few blog experiences. Regardless of how frustrating, exhausting, and intimidating all of the web resources out there are, the "web presence" trend is real and possibly important to keeping relevancy among other art related professions.
One of my fellow DMT & C peers, Julie Brannen, has created her own website and, thus, a web presence. Although Julie also identifies as a dancer and teacher, she does mention her dance/movement therapy education and training. I know Julie isn't the only one amongst my peers and cohort to have their own website, but I still wonder about all those other dance/movement therapists out there, who I am sure are doing amazing work we all want to hear about.
So what does the web presence of a dance/movement therapist look like? I guess I don't really know. Or maybe, we as a culture are still defining that — some trail blazing, others lagging behind. I guess this post is my call to other students and professionals in the field to start a web presence so that outsiders can better understand our work. I know that our work is not about being present on the web and that sometimes our work is so fleeting it's hard to capture. However, culture and its trends move swiftly, and I personally believe it's important to the vitality of our work to be apart of the movement.
C'mon dance therapy, can't we be cool, at least once?
As a side note, please check out the Research Celebration, a DMT & C event that celebrates the hard work of current DMT & C thesis students (myself included). The event is August 9th and will be held at The Quincy Wong Center, 623 S. Wabash. This is a great event for seeing the type of research current students are doing. If you're a prospective student, you would also get to see the type of work that you'd be doing at the end of your graduate career.

When I arrive in Alaska around February 22, I'll post often to keep you in the loop about what I am doing and what is going on with the race. And, when the race starts March 6, I'll post daily about the race and teachable moments.
The NUMBER ONE question I'm asked is: "Don't you get cold in Alaska?" To help others Outside of Alaska understand the cold, I'll post the temperature and wind speed daily on my site while I'm in Alaska. By the way, Outside refers to anywhere not in Alaska, and usually to the other states of the U.S. Use this information for the following activities to figure out if I'm getting cold! (Don't worry. I've got all the right gear to keep from getting cold!)
- Elementary–Color a paper thermometer which shows your area's temperature and another one showing the temperature I posted. Write the temperatures correctly.
- Elementary–Make a chart or graph showing the temperatures I post.
- Middle School—Use the lesson plan I posted in Coordinates for Your Sled-The Math Trail to make a 2 or 3 line graph plotting and comparing the temperatures I post and your area's temperatures.
- Middle School—Relate positive and negative numbers to the temperatures I post and the temperatures in your area.
- Secondary—Convert the Fahrenheit temperatures I post to Celsius, and then back again. It's a great workout for your brain! (Don't use the converter program, use brain power.) http://www.albireo.ch/temperatureconverter/formula.htm Accessed 12.27.201

Crump leads Purdue past Virginia
West Lafayette, IN (Sports Network) – Tarrance Crump hit a game-winning
floater with 1.2 seconds to play to give the Purdue Boilermakers a 61-59 win
over the 25th-ranked Virginia Cavaliers.
Carl Landry had 19 points and eight rebounds while David Teague added 14
points and eight boards for the Boilermakers (5-1), who shot 38.6 percent from
the floor.
Sean Singletary netted a game-high 21 and Mamadi Diane chipped in 17 points
for the Cavaliers (4-1), who connected on 38.2 percent of their shots from the
With the Boilermakers ahead 57-53, the Cavaliers took the lead with a pair of
treys, the latter of which came off the hands of Chris Lutz and made the score
59-57 with almost 1 1/2 minutes to play.
After a Singletary steal, he tied the game with a pair from the line, but
Purdue had possession with under 30 ticks remaining.
The Boilermakers ran time off the clock before Crump was left open after a
high screen, and he made the most of the opportunity with a floater from just
inside the elbow with 1.2 seconds left.
J.R. Reynolds, though, stepped on the sideline after taking the inbounds pass
to give Purdue the ball back with one second and seal the victory.
Teague's trey gave Purdue an 8-6 lead, but the Cavaliers reeled off a 9-1 run,
capped by Adrian Joseph's three-pointer, for a 15-9 margin.
Trailing 19-14, the Boilermakers scored 10 of the final 14 points of the half,
including eight points from Landry, to move in front 26-23 after the opening
20 minutes of play.
Jason Cain's layup narrowed the gap to one, 26-25, but Purdue used a 14-5
surge, highlighted by consecutive dunks from Gordon Watt and Teague, extended
the lead to 39-30.
However, Virginia rallied with a 15-4 burst behind threes from Singletary,
Joseph and Diane to take a 45-43 margin with almost 10 minutes to play.
Game Notes
Virginia was 2-11 on the road last season…The Cavaliers shot 6-of-11 from
long distance in the second half…Singletary has hit his last 27 free throw
attempts…Purdue welcomes Delaware St on Saturday while the Cavaliers play
their first ACC contest of the season against North Carolina State on
Sunday…Crump finished with six points…Joseph pulled down 10 boards.

Posted by: Tony Copperfield17 September 2014
So failure to display the results of your outstanding/good/ requires improvement/inadequate CQC inspection will now result in a fine of up to £500. I know this because I've just read the, uh, 'intentionally….non-prescriptive' regulations published in the DoH document, 'Display of Performance Assessment'. That's non-prescriptive guidance about presenting and positioning a single piece of paper which runs to 17 pages.
As a service to Pulse readers, I would like to suggest 10 ways you might want to fulfil this requirement.
1 Use irony/reverse pyschology. Put up a poster which states: 'We realise we're a shi**y practice run by shi**y doctors who do nothing but talk sh** and prescribe sh** drugs, so it should come as no surprise that the CQC has graded us as "inadequate", which is their way of saying we are "complete and utter sh**".'
2 Change the font size: 'Result of CQC inspection: inadequate'.
3 Then, when the inspectors say the font size is too small, make it too big to fit on the wall:
'Result of CQC inspection: ina-'
4 Bear in mind that, as per the guidance, the result must be accessible to individuals with disabilities. So, to accommodate those with impaired vision, put it up in Braille.
5 Use invisible ink.
6 Redefine that room round the back that nobody uses as 'reception' or a 'waiting room' (put a receptionist in it, or make a patient wait in it, for a few minutes per day to satisfy CQC requirements) and pin the results up there.
7 Print in bold, 'Please do not deface this poster' on the display.
8 Write it in Greek.
9 Swamp the 'Result of CQC inspection: inadequate' poster by covering the wall with hundreds of other posters of exactly the same size, font, format and colour and put on each, 'Result of IDCQC: absolutely sodding brilliant'. If anyone asks, the IDCQC is the 'I Don't Care Quality Commission'. But don't worry, they won't.
10 Do the math. Average practice is four partners, £500 fine is £125, which is tax deductible, so, per partner, that's virtually nothing. Man up, stuff the CQC, take the hit and put up a poster saying 'The CQC are a bunch of cock'. I don't mean that in a prescriptive way, mind.

As usual, tears of laughter streaming down my face! (No mean feat as I have only just arrived home from work after a 12.5 hour day!)
I might try all of these and see which is most effective..........watch this space.
And thank you for brightening my day.
All gud, but the "use invisible ink" would discriminate against those who have no disability...!
What has happened to General Practice - there used to be something to do with patients- now I am drowning in acronyms, getting lost in LES,DES,Local LES,RES,CQC,Friends and Family. Dear God, please get out if you can anyway at all. Tell everyone - DO NOT become a GP.
On a more serious note, unless regulations prescribe that the rating must be published in a 'prescribed format' - and the indications are that they won't be - your analysis of and reply to your rating could be included in the notice - bury the bad news!
Fab. We might add that as patients are in the waiting room to read the ratings and therefore not dead, we are probably doing our job OK.
I'm going to get mine tattooed on my forehead!!
There's just enough space next to the one saying 'eat less, move more'.
Some would say that you should just wear it loud and proud like a badge of honour...a damning report from the CQC is a little like being told by Ronnie Biggs that you're dishonest.
We failed our CQC because we kept the Lloyd George notes on shelves in the office . Yes you read that correctly !. The inspectors said it was a fire /flood/ theft risk . They actually suggested someone might jump over the desk and try to run off with a set . They had been there for 30 years and had never got wet , burnt or stolen before .

When cooked slowly for an hour the squid totally changes texture and the rubbery collagens in the meat melts and turn into gelatin – and the mouth feel is almost like silken Tofu. But the most amazing transformation is the flavour – quick squid deep fried is almost tasteless by comparison, but when you slow cook the squid it imparts a delicious fresh seafood taste to the stew.

Pulled Lamb
Pork Scotch fillet – The Pork Scotchie in a bag
The pork Scotch fillet is a heavily marbled cut of meat from the shoulder and it's usually cooked slow as a roast because the fat keeps the meat very moist. There is a secret trick to cook it like a steak, it requires several days worth of preparation and some equipment but the end result is totally worth it.

Nightlife of Turkey can be enjoyed in Marmaris which is located on Mediterranean coast in the province of Mugla in Southwest of Turkey. Marmaris is famous for tourism and its major source of income is from tourism due to its outstanding views. It is located between two ranges of mountains that are intersecting each other. The population of Marmaris is increasing rapidly in past few years. In the 6th century Bc Marmaris was known as Physkos and was part of Caria.
Tourists can experience the best of sailing and diving experience at Marmaris. The tourists should be well prepared for its hot and humid summer climate and rainy during winters. The period during May and October receives very scars rainfall. During July and August the climate is quite hot and humid. The climate is warm and bright in October with little rainfall. The ideal time for tourists to visit Marmaris is September which is early autumn because the temperature is not very hot nor too cold. The climate during winters is usually wet and raining. The rain in Marmaris can reach upto 1232.7 milimeters each year.
Different events are also hosted at Marmaris like Men's European Volleyball League whose final four matches were held in 2013 in Amiral Orhan Aydin Sports Hall in Marmaris. Every year in spring professional road bicycle racing also takes place. There is a cave near Marmaris known as Nimara Cave on Heaven Island that was used for worship since ancient times.

The Hoover twin tub washing machine played a big part in my 1970s childhood. On washday (almost every day, as I was one of eight children) it would take centre stage in our fogged-up kitchen, with pipes and hoses precariously connected to taps and sinkholes, and soap residue floating on the smelly and worryingly grey rotating water.
It broke down every month or so. The kitchen would then turn into a workshop of removed panels, motor parts, rubber seals and washers. I took this to be the normal way of things until, on our Bush 24-inch colour TV, I saw a documentary on Japan. Outside Tokyo there was a rubbish mountain composed entirely of discarded video cassette recorders. We could no more afford a VCR than one of the new front-loading fitted washing machines. But here was a country that threw away perfectly working devices as they upgraded to the latest model.
We are all Japanese now. In 1970, the cost of a washing machine was equal to 8% of average annual earnings. Today it's just 1.5%. Manufacturers, according to Which?, increasingly design low-cost products to be disposable rather than repairable.
The latest issue of its magazine wearily asks: "Is anything built to last?"
A few things are. Pride of place goes to the Kenwood Chef (above), launched in 1950 at a price of £19, equal to almost £500 today. One Which? member still regularly uses her 1971 Chef, complete with original mixing bowl.
Fridges may also keep whirring for 50 years or more. A 1957 Westinghouse "has never given us any trouble", a Which? member from Surrey wrote. A 74-year-old Truvox Juno still keeps parquet floors beautifully polished for its Middlesex owner, himself just a few years older than the machine.
But the reality is that there was no golden age when things were built better and made to last. In 1971 Which? found that half of all washing machines broke down in their first year. A quarter of fridges would need repairs, too.
Today, consumer goods have collapsed in price, yet their reliability has improved dramatically. The chances of a washing machine breaking down in its first six years is now just 12%. The high-street repair shop has shut down, not because we live in a disposable society, but because the work's not there. But I'm not about to join those moaning about our throwaway society. I'm just thankful I don't have to struggle with a dodgy twin tub. Some things have got better since the 1970s.
• But not the trains. Congratulations to Chiltern Railways, which this week took a step to simplify Britain's absurd rail ticketing system. The problem with rail pricing is not a lack of low fares. For example, I'm going to Edinburgh for the festival for £43 return. That's cheaper, mile for mile, than on most developed-country rail networks. But I got it by playing the system – buying exactly three months ahead using online fare alerts. The real problem is on-the-day fares, which for Edinburgh are around £150 single and more than £200 return, second class. It's like organised mugging. We wouldn't accept paying £15 to go one stop on the Tube because we forgot to book 12 weeks ago. So neither should we accept it just because the journey is on a long-distance train.

Former Suns star Connie Hawkins dies at age 75
From Sports Chew
Hall of famer and former Suns power forward Connie Hawkins died Friday at the age of 75, according to family reported on KPNX by Bruce Cooper.
Hawkins grew up perfecting his craft on the streets of Brooklyn before playing at the Boys High School of Brooklyn.
He led the 1967-68 Pipers to a league-best 54-24 record earning him MVP honors of that season.
Hawkins played his college ball at the University of Iowa until getting expelled for a academics scandal involving point-shaving despite never admitting to it or being charged by the University or law officials.
Also playing for the Los Angeles Lakers and Atlanta Hawks, Hawkins was inducted into the Hall of Fame in the 1992 class.
Today, the world lost not only and NBA icon, but a better man. Thank you, Connie Hawkins, for providing a foundation for the NBA and making it what it is today.

'If you stay there one night, you will want to kill yourself.'
I was sitting outside a bar overlooking Exarchia Square in central Athens, scoffing pizza with some new acquaintances, two of whom happened to be Syrian refugees. We'd been talking about the journey the sixteen and eighteen year olds had had to endure to get to their current place of residence – a squat in an abandoned school close to the centre of Athens. Ahmed was describing in great detail what it was like to be living persona non grata in a foreign country. The pizza had come as a welcome distraction from the more pressing thoughts of an uncertain future.
'If you like you can stay the night with us,' he continues, giving a cheeky smile across the table to his friend who is occupied with a particularly large and unwieldy slice. Akram smiles with his eyes, knowing exactly the hospitality his friend has in mind. His mouth is far too busy with the pizza to reply.
Just before my week long trip to Athens I'd been mulling over ideas about how to interpret questions of social cohesion, economic depression and individual discontent. It put me in a reflective mood, but already this encounter was helping to understand the truth about what it was like to be displaced, miles away from home. I got the impression Ahmed was making the most of his last year of boyhood, and was enjoying some aspects of his pioneering adventure. He wore his displacement on his sleeve, and my subdued reaction to the thought of spending a night there only seemed to bolster his sense of pride and resilience, with a smattering of school-boy excitement thrown in.
I'd been to Athens before, in the summer of 2012, again for a frustratingly short amount of time, but had returned with something approaching a visual style and a vocabulary of themes. Then I had stayed just down the road from this spot, in a small apartment with a friend from Estonia, and had walked these same streets in an effort to understand the symptoms of the financial crisis facing the country. Exarchia Square and its surrounding neighbourhood had become something of a safe haven for demonstrators – the Police unwilling to venture into a space where the consent between the agency of the state and the population had been repealed, and I found that nothing much had changed.
In my peregrinations this time, I find myself sitting outside a smokey bar, a favourite haunt for left leaning literati, overlooking the same tree lined Square I got to know four years ago. Lost in my own thoughts, I'm asked in English 'do you order drinks at the bar, or is there table service?' I thought I fitted in quite well as a local, but obviously not. Strangely, I felt my cover blown. Sophie, an Arabic speaking charity coordinator working for Safe Passage, was out at the end of the working week taking the pulse of the city. As we sit together overlooking the Square, she is recognised by the two boys, whom she had helped when they were both living in a camp on a nearby Island.
'Where is this place? Where are you staying?' I ask, trying to get a sense of whether staying a night in the squat is a good idea or not.
'It's only just around the corner, just up there,' says Ahmed pointing over his shoulder and lifting his chin at the same time.
'We can find a place for you, no problem. But no pictures.'
'How many people are there,' I ask.
'About one hundred and fifty.'
Sophie, peers over in my direction.
'What an opportunity,' she says. 'Are you going to do it?'
'Err…Yes', I reply hesitantly. 'Why not? My project isn't primarily about refugees, but it's part of the broader picture, and I can put it down as research.'
Those last words make me feel uncomfortable, like some kind of disaster tourist, but I push these thoughts aside, together with Ahmed's rather dramatic warning, and resolve to get in touch with them both the following evening.
We exchange numbers, friend each other on Facebook (of course) and dissipate into the night, the cold Athenian air tinged with the taint of tear gas.

I think we can all agree that video games are wicked, and should definitely be enjoyed by all.
That's why four of us – myself, Joe Skrebels, Dale Driver, and Rory Powers here at IGN – are running 10K for the wonderful, unique charity that is SpecialEffect.
If you'd like to donate, click right here: IGN's JustGiving Page!
If you're not aware, it's a charity that uses various forms of technology, from modified controllers to eye-motion sensors, to help people with physical disabilities play video games.
Please donate whatever you can to this incredible charity – IGN's JustGiving Page – and in return we'll physically humiliate ourselves for your enjoyment. (I don't know if you've noticed but I wouldn't describe any of us as natural athletes nor naturally adapted for the act of running, even small distances.)
And even if you can't, don't worry but definitely take a minute to check out the important and lovely work these people are doing.

Movie News: New "The Last Knight" poster features a Knight from Cybertron
It seems to be a big day for "The Last Knight" news as another poster has been released for the film! This time out the poster features an unknown Knight from Cybertron on the battlefield with King Arthur's Knights. This ties into the "Secret Past" trailer posted earlier today and further pushes the narrative that the Transformers universe on Earth is about to get a lot bigger!
While the image has no character name attached to it, fan speculation indicates this might be Steelbane, who was shown at Toy Fair 2017!
TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT opens in theaters June 23
Directed by: Michael Bay
Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Josh Duhamel, Anthony Hopkins, Laura Haddock, Jerrod Carmichael, Isabela Moner and Santiago Cabrera
The Last Knight shatters the core myths of the Transformers franchise, and redefines what it means to be a hero. Humans and Transformers are at war, Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Saving our world falls upon the shoulders of an unlikely alliance: Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg); Bumblebee; an English Lord (Sir Anthony Hopkins); and an Oxford Professor (Laura Haddock).
There comes a moment in everyone's life when we are called upon to make a difference. In Transformers: The Last Knight, the hunted will become heroes. Heroes will become villains. Only one world will survive: theirs, or ours.
