recently purchased a generic USB keyboard/folio for my Samsung Tab A (2017) SM-T380. The keyboard came with a micro USB to USB type C adapter plug to suit my Tablet.
I can't get it to work. I surmised that, either, there was a problem with the supplied adapter plug (micro usb to type c USB) or there is some sort of software setting in the Tab A that I've overlooked that is preventing the keyboard from working.
I purchased a second micro usb to type c adapter plug today and tested it without success, so I'm thinking either a software setting is the culprit or the Tab simply won't allow me to use a USB keyboard with it. The Tab runs Android version 7.1.1
I have tried the keyboard (without the adapter) with my SGS7 and it works fine.
Has anyone encountered this issue and if so, was there a software solution to it?

Abandoning Vietnam: How America Left and South Vietnam Lost Its War
Author(s): James H. Willbanks

Did America's departure from Vietnam produce the "peace with honor" promised by President Richard Nixon or was that simply an empty wish meant to distract war-weary Americans from a tragic "defeat with shame"? While James Willbanks doesn't offer any easy answers to that question, his book convincingly shows why America's strategy for exiting the Vietnam War failed miserably and left South Vietnam to a dismal fate.
That strategy, "Vietnamization," was designed to transfer full responsibility for the defense of South Vietnam to the South Vietnamese, but in a way that would buy the United States enough time to get out without appearing to run away. To achieve this goal, America poured millions of dollars into training and equipping the South Vietnamese military while attempting to pacify the countryside. Precisely how this strategy was implemented and why it failed so completely are the subjects of this eye-opening study
Drawing upon both archival research and his own military experiences in Vietnam, Willbanks focuses on military operations from 1969 through 1975. He begins by analyzing the events that led to a change in U.S. strategy in 1969 and the subsequent initiation of Vietnamization. He then critiques the implementation of that policy and the combat performance of the South Vietnamese army (ARVN), which finally collapsed in 1975.
Willbanks contends that Vietnamization was a potentially viable plan that was begun years too late. Nevertheless some progress was made and the South Vietnamese, with the aid of U.S. advisers and American airpower, held off the North Vietnamese during their massive offensive in 1972. However, the Paris Peace Accords, which left NVA troops in the south, and the subsequent loss of U.S. military aid negated any gains produced through Vietnamization. These factors coupled with corruption throughout President Thieu's government and a glaring lack of senior military leadership within the South Vietnamese armed forces ultimately led to the demise of South Vietnam.
A mere two years after the last American combat troops had departed, North Vietnamese tanks rolled into Saigon, overwhelming a poorly trained, disastrously led, and corrupt South Vietnamese military. But those two years had provided Nixon with the "decent interval" he desperately needed to proclaim that "peace with honor" had been achieved. Willbanks digs beneath that illusion to reveal the real story of South Vietnam's fall.

I have a lot of people asks me questions about the pictures on my social media and blog. Random stuff like what apps I use for picture, where do I take my pictures, and the biggest question is who takes them.
This post is perfect for the other half of us social media junk heads and bloggers who don't have a boyfriend/ bestie/ turned photographer willing to take thirty pictures just so we can say they all suck! Lol
Trust me I have tried it all. Boyfriend. His patience ran thin. Random stranger. Not only is that awkward, but they normally don't stick around to see if your eyes were closed or your stance was weird. Photo sessions. Nice, but that can be expensive. And who really needs 100+ photos in one outfit?!.
No worries. I've tried all of the crazy stuff I mentioned. So the tips I give will be fool proof. You can learn from my mistakes 🙂
I am by no means an expert, but I like to find ways to provide consistent content. And a MAJOR way to do that is through the photos you provide. (Major Key!) Here are my tips:
Tip #1: Use natural lighting where possible. Natural light will always show more detail and create a clearer image.
Tip #2: Keep your back drop simple. Don't waste time trying to find the "perfect" location. Use what you have -> white walls are perfect! I also love nature shots and sides of buildings. Keep your backdrop simple, so you can stand out!
Tip #3: Detail is Key. It's the details that puts you ahead of the game!
Tip #4: Find someone that needs practice. Seek a local photographer that is building their portfolio and book a session. You will get a reasonable price and build your network.
Tip #5: Do a mini shoot instead of a full session. Not only will you save money but in a fast moving digital age you don't need 50+ shots in one outfit. A mini session will give you a couple of good looks.
Check back this Thursday where I will tell you ways how I planned ahead and made the most of my mini photo session with Dallas photographer, Afritina.

There is a machine just inside the door leading out of Bulgari's Rome workshop which is designed to scrub shoes clean as employees leave the shop and step onto one of Italy's most ancient streets.
The point isn't to turn out well-spiffed jewelers, says Francesco Trapani, but to reclaim errant gold dust.
Mr. Trapani is Chief Executive of Bulgari, the high-end jewelry and watch maker founded by his family in 1884. The inflation of gold prices is a constant worry for the company, which saw the cost of the metal jump significantly in the last several years. With prices hovering at $1,000.00 an ounce, the small things (like a machine that collects gold dust from shoes) start to add up.
Mr. Trapani has long seen opportunities in the small things; he was the first Bulgari chief to expand into watches and perfume, and substantially increased the brand's small-goods wares. $1,000.00 rings and bracelets account for nearly half the firm's yearly revenue, edging out higher-end baubles (Bulgari offers a number of necklaces that top $70,000.00).
Bulgari's watches are poised for an upswing too, despite having lately lost ground: they're quartz watches and thus excluded from the stratum of Rolex and Panerai and the rest of the mechanical pantheon, being instead lumped in with mid-priced rigs from fashion houses like Gucci.
That form-over-function approach worked well for both companies in the 1990s but fell off soon after. In response, Mr. Trapani bought two venerable Swiss watch houses, Gerald Genta and Daniel Roth, hoping to infuse his own brand with some of their skill and artistry.
After hard going in 2009, Mr. Trapani seems to have set his family's company on course for a profitable 2010. Already, second-quarter profit statements demonstrate an uptick in revenue. That performance, and the company's presitge and cache, are attracting suitors. Swatch Group AG was recently rumored to have made overtures, and other sharks are circling. But Mr. Trapani isn't interested:
"The company is not for sale. The family has no intention of selling this company we have proudly built and managed for 125 years."

text: "All you need is Calais", titled the local newspaper Le Nord Littoral in May 2016. An ongoing project aiming at documenting the everyday life in my hometown. Although remaining high in the media agenda, the life of the city is often overlooked, creating a certain frustration among the population. I am trying to depict the broader picture: the one of a middle size city in northern France, of an harbour and a border town, soon to be an EU border. A place which lived 200 years of British rules and 37 years of municipal communism. A society which underwent a harsh deindustrialization – after having once been the proud world capital of the mechanic lace production, its consequent economic and social hardships, and the rise of the Front National. An area where candidates for asylum in the UK transit for more than 20 years, base for a humanitarian crisis, and leading to a slow-paced but certain growing diversity.

|It's been a while since any chatter hath rung out throughout the halls of this forum and that is, needless to say, a tragedy.
Which is why, I have arisen! To light the fire of a thousand fires with a single torch. To rally for the people with the people. To inspire all of you not to sit around and wait while Martin, Colin, and Annalise fade into the dark shadows of yesteryear but to raise your voices high and loud, to exclaim, once and for all:
Here's the catch, we can't get into a discussion about even discussing Season Two unless we know how our fans feel about it, and more importantly, if we still have fans. If you want to see more of LEAGUE, if you want to know what happens to Chuck, if you want to see just how Martin gets over Martina's PMS or find out what happens to Colin when he actually breathes fresh air, if you in fact are a fan - then just say those six, little but bold words. That's what a message board is for isn't it!?
(Now you have to say something because if you don't, I will look sad and non-epic.)
If not, I'll be at Barcade. Drinking and playing PacMan.

|Well, us old regulars are certainly going to keep following it I'm sure, but we are few and far between now.
Turning to those new (new-ish?) social media streams may gather further interest and hopefully new blood (mmm, blood...) which is what it's going to take to make the franchise worth continuing from you're own perspectives I would think. I for one was really impressed by the first season and the quality of the film-making itself. Perhaps some constant advertsing and promotion through the aforementioned mediums to get peoples to watch the first season (whether for the first time or the second or nteenth) will help to gauge the level of interest?
Is there a particular timeframe you're all working towards regarding this, or deadline before deeming it worthy to take on Season 2?

It's flu season. Almost everyone I know is succumbing to the recent flu epidemic and I myself have not felt so hot this week. It's time for all of us to take special care of ourselves in order to either prevent getting sick or heal us up quick.
One particular get well remedy that we all have been told to practice, is that of eating chicken soup. We've been taught that chicken soup makes us feel better since we were children, but does it actually help?
Apparently, it does. A study conducted by researchers working for the CHEST Journal (the official publication of the American College of Chest Physicians) said that chicken soup inhibits neutrophil chemotacis, giving the soup anti-inflammatory properties that could help relieve the symptoms associated with upper respiratory infections.
Not only that, but chicken soup helps to improve hydration and nutritional stats, has the potential of accelerating musocal clearance and, chicken soup contains the amino acid cysteine, which normally gets prescribed for patients with bronchitis and respiratory infections.
Who would have thought that Mom was right all of those years? Get out there and eat some chicken soup, because we all know how much I love natural remedies.

For the past couple days I've not been able to figure out why I couldn't find the "Links" section in my WordPress dashboard on a new site installation. I finally decided to search for the answer this morning and learned that starting with WordPress 3.5 that feature had been automatically disabled on install. I must be missing something. Since I primarily use WordPress as a content management system, I loved using the Links feature to organize my research links. Until I have time to learn more about the reasoning for disabling the feature as a default option, I found Andrew Nacin had created this Link Manager plug-in that brings the feature back. Better yet, I need to find time to learn more about customizing my WordPress Dashboard. 🙂

I have been researching and writing quite a bit lately on Narcissism. I am particularly interested in how to recognize them from their nonverbal behavior and how those behaviors may assist them in becoming successful.
Why Justin Bieber is the perfect narcissist
Beliebe in the academic research on self-infatuationengaged in reckless behavior with little consideration for those around him, regularly pairs tank tops with gold chains, and once said that if Anne Frank were alive today, she "would have been a Belieber."
In other words, he is a massive narcissist. (Also in this category: Miley Cyrus). But how did he get that way?
Luckily, there is a wealth of academic information that explains the self-absorbed media sensation that is Justin Bieber. Let's look at the four qualities researchers have recently linked with a high probability of narcissism.
In a new study published in the journal Thinking Skills and Creativity, British researchers found that people who think of themselves as creative and who engage in creative activities are more likely to display narcissistic tendencies.
First, subjects were asked to rate how creative they were, and how many creative activities (like writing a poem or choreographing a dance) they had participated in over the last year. Then they were asked to answer questions from the Narcissistic Personality Inventory.
It turns out that agreeing with statements like "I am more capable than other people" was "the variable that most strongly predicted not only self-assessed creativity (no surprise there), but also engagement in creative activities," according to Tom Jacobs at Pacific Standard.
In a previous study, Cornell researchers found that narcissistic people were better at selling their creative ideas — in this case, movie concepts. Ideas were accepted more often when pitched by a narcissist, even when judged unimpressive on paper. Jacobs sums up the link between narcissism and creativity thusly:
There's no evidence at this point that narcissists are more creative than the rest of us. But there is evidence that they think they are, and that that belief drives them to try their hand at various creative pursuits. [Pacific Standard]Wealth
Another sign of narcissism: Wealth. This summer, researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, published a study that showed that people who were wealthy scored higher on a series of four tests meant to measure narcissism. One them involved a mirror, which moneyed subjects were more likely to use before getting their picture taken.
Not only that, the effects scaled up, meaning that "the wealthier you were, the more entitled and narcissistic you were," according to PBS.
Obsession with social media
Research has also shown that narcissists are more active on social media. The young and self-absorbed especially prefer Twitter, which one study called a "means of amplifying one's own perceived superiority to others."
Facebook, on the other hand, was used by narcissists to curate a positive image of themselves. Science has yet to determine where Instagram selfies rank against other social media phenomena, but considering the top hashtag on Instagram is #me, there is a good chance there is a link to narcissistic behavior.
Speaking of young people, a study by San Diego State University professor Jean M. Twenge found that millennials scored 30 percent higher on the Narcissistic Personality Inventory than young people from the 1970s. More college students today, according to Twenge, rank themselves as "above average" and use more first-person singular pronouns in their writing.
Not everyone agrees with her research. Some critics point out that young people are intrinsically more self-absorbed than older people, no matter the generation, while others note that she only talked to young people from elite colleges, who don't represent millennials as a whole.
Of course, any of these academic studies could be overturned in the future. Like IQ tests, many question whether the Narcissistic Personality Inventory is flawed.
Still, the research over the past few years does paint a pretty convincing picture of what makes a person narcissistic. A millennial singer with a huge social media following who has enough money to crash his Ferrari into a photographer? Yeah, that sounds like this guy:

The Drip Line
You will see the term "drip line" used a lot in the tree world. Imagine the canopy of a shade tree as an umbrella. A heavy rain hits an umbrella and runs to the edge of the umbrella and drips off the perimeter. The drip line for a tree is the area under the umbrella of leaves that stays dry. The drip line is your best guess for where feeder roots for the tree will be located, and it is an essential boundary for determining if a tree will survive when encroachment with vehicles or construction disturbs a tree.
Here's a newly fallen tree, on its side, showing the limited depth of most feeder roots. You can see from the photo how generous you need to be with width to provide room for a healthy tree to grow. Another thing illustrated here is how a tree will send out some larger roots toward a source of water or nutrients. These provide a limited number of straps that hold the tree stable during storms.
Some experts say a tree can handle 20-30% damage to the roots within the drip line and survive, but that is extremely optimistic. Some trees are particularly sensitive to root damage and can't stand 5% disturbance – Sweetgums and Dogwoods die quickly with any root damage. Try to avoid any damage within the drip line when digging near trees. If damage is unavoidable, then anything over 10% of the area within the drip line warrants complete tree removal, unless the tree is something really special. You should remove insignificant trees that are considerably damaged during construction to avoid having to remove them later when they becomes a hazard trees and you risk damaging surrounding plants and structures. A historic tree— however you might define that— a magnificent specimen tree, or a tree that has special significance, may be worth attempting to save when the damage reaches 20 – 30%. More than that is futile. Have a memorial service for the tree, sell the wood to make souvenirs, and replant more trees somewhere else.

Looking for last minute gift ideas?
Check out these fun letter art photos!
A few years ago, I made some of these as gifts and they were a huge hit! I love that you can pick whatever word you want, pick your letter design, and pick the size you want the letters to be!
In order to make this, you will need:
piece of wood, pictures frames (I got mine at Dollar Tree), spray paint, hot glue gun, letter pictures.
First, I picked my letters be clicking HERE. There are a ton of letters to choose from, and they are absolutely free!
Next, I spray painted both the wood and the picture frames. Then, I popped the pictures in the frames and pulled the support piece off the backing of frame, and hot glued the frames to the board.
Not only was this project simple, it was also pretty inexpensive. I bought the frames from the dollar store, making the spray paint the most expensive part.
I love making my gifts, not only to save money, but to make them a bit more personal as well. You can personalize these make them great gifts for anyone, and even if you have completed your Christmas shopping, you can always make one for yourself!
Happy Homemade Gifting!

NICOTERO-DIRECTS WEBISODES HITTING AMCTV.COM ON OCTOBER 3rd
New York, NY - September 15, 2011 - AMC announced today that Emmy Award-winning make-up effects artist Greg Nicotero has been a named co-executive producer of "The Walking Dead." Nicotero has also inked a first-look deal with the network, which gives him the opportunity to bring his own passion projects to AMC. At Saturday's Creative Arts Emmy Awards, Nicotero won Best Prosthetic Make-up for AMC's "The Walking Dead." Nicotero directs a series of webisodes this season and is also set to direct an episode.
"Greg's talent extends well beyond the word of special fx makeup," said Joel Stillerman, AMC's SVP of original programming, production and digital content. "He is also a truly talented director, and has an incredibly comprehensive understanding and appreciation for great storytelling. His knowledge and respect for the genre is unparalleled, and we are looking forward to expanding our relationship with him with an eye towards developing more great original series."
Nicotero, who co-owns KNB EFX GROUP, one of Hollywood's most successful Make-up Effects Studios, premiered his film THE UNITED MONSTER TALENT AGENCY on AMC'S Fearfest last Halloween. He began his career on DAY OF THE DEAD in 1985 and as of this year has been involved in nearly 800 feature films including those of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. He is repped by Ken Linzer, UTA and Chris Pollack at Generate.
Greg's masterful work on "The Walking Dead" continues this season on amctv.com. Beginning on October 3rd, fans are able to watch the six-episode web series. Produced by Generate, and conceived and directed by Nicotero and written by John Esposito, the webisodes tell an "origin" story of a woman's struggle to survive and to protect her family as the world begins to fall apart. Fans have the opportunity to explore the back story of one of the most celebrated "walkers" last season. It focuses on "Bicycle Girl," the infamous zombie from season one, who was shot by Rick Grimes in the pilot episode. Fans learn about this woman's life before the apocalypse, and watch her story unfold into what becomes her ultimate demise into zombie-hood.
Nicotero says, "Working on "The Walking Dead" with such a fantastic cast and crew has been an amazing opportunity, and to have our contribution to the show celebrated is a tremendous compliment. I have always felt like the show had a cinematic feel and everyone involved is dedicated to making this show something special. To be able to branch out and to develop not only the web series but also genre material is something I have always wanted to do; given the people I have had the pleasure of working with over the last 23 years."

Dick's Sporting Goods Has A Very Real Baseball Spot
March 16, 2013 Leave a comment
This baseball ad from Dick's Sporting Goods has been out for more than a month now, but I didn't know about it until reading this article on Adweek. Beautiful, cinematic work. I love the cut to black right as the pitch is delivered. It totally looks real and not like a commercial at all. And that can be a great thing.

Employee Engagement Prevents Stealing
Unique ID: c7de66c0-2db6-40fa-89ba-ae058ea9fc52
Elevated employee engagement is something we are continually striving for here at Assurance. It's more than just cultural. In fact, it's extremely pragmatic. Nearly every scientific study we've seen over the past 20 years has demonstrated engaged workforces are:
- More productive
- More profitable
- Less prone to absenteeism
- Less likely to leave
- Less likely to be involved in on-the-job accidents
- Better at servicing customers
The list goes on and includes my personal favorite: "less likely to be a source of employee theft". Importantly, engaged workforces also experience growth rates that are more than 2.5 times their peers. You can absolutely say that engaged employees have a direct correlation to efficiency and profit. But if all this is true and all business leaders inherently know this, then why do so many companies struggle when it comes to engagement?
Trust, I believe, is the #1 factor in building a great workplace. From employees to managers, managers to employees, employees to employees and so on, trust is the essential ingredient. Where trust exists, great things can happen. And engagement doesn't just mean happy. Here are 10 qualities of engaged employees.
- Enjoy the place they work
- Enjoy the job they do
- Proud to tell people about their employer
- Has a desire to help their employer improve
- Has a desire to help their fellow employees succeed
- Has a career goal and a plan to get there
- Know where to internally get help
- Know what their company does or makes
- Know how their job impacts a customer
- Know how everyone's job impacts a customer
The Great Place to Work Institute specializes in organizational trust. You probably know their work, as they produce the annual Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For list, as well as the Great Place to Work Best Small & Medium Workplaces list. Assurance has been incredibly fortunate to have earned our place on this list for the past 2 years. If you've never interacted with the Great Place to Work, check them out now and follow them on Twitter. Your bottom line will thank you!

Last week, the New York Daily News published a story titled "Move over, Doogie Howser, 13-year-old Bronx girl heading to college" that profiled Autum Ashante, a home-schooled child prodigy from the Bronx who was headed to the University of Connecticut. The story made headlines when the Daily News reported Ashante's admission to UConn had been rescinded.
But the spokesperson cited by the paper as having confirmed Autum's acceptance, Richard Veilleux, tells NewsOne that he never told the paper's reporter any such thing.
"She applied, and her application was denied. It was not accepted. Nothing was 'rescinded,'" Michael Kirk from UConn's communications office wrote in an email to NewsOne.
Now controversy is brewing over who's telling the truth: did the Daily News reporter leave out critical quotes from UConn's communications office? Ashante's father and the Daily News are standing by their statements.
The paper's director of communications, Jennifer Mauer, told NewsOne that it "stands by the original story," and that Veilleux did indeed confirm Autum's acceptance to Samuels.
NewsOne reported that they asked Ashante's father if he could produce any records of his daughter's acceptance to the university, but he didn't respond with a direct answer.
"I'm done with you and all media," Mr. Ashante told NewsOne. "I'm saying [expletive] UConn right now."
He suggests UConn is "closing ranks" because of the potential success of a petition, started by UConn alumna Josephine Minnow, to pressure the university to admit Ashante in to the University this coming fall.

A Scottish racecourse will be investigated after four horses tragically died on a single race day this week.
The deaths occurred on Monday at Musselburgh Racecourse, one of Scotland's largest tracks.
The four horses were Kensukes Kingdom, Sierra Oscar, Leather Belly and Smart Ruler.
Kensukes Kingdom won the first race of the day but pulled up sore after the post, with a tendon injury diagnosed soon after.
Sierra Oscar, in a hurdle race, and Leather Belly, in a bumper race without obstacles, also suffered leg injuries.
Smart Ruler's trainer Jimmy Moffat believed his horse suffered a heart attack 100 yards after leading its hurdle race.
The horses were four of just 44 runners on the day, the 9.1 per cent fatality rate much higher than the 0.2 per cent average.
The British Horseracing Authority will undertake an inspection before the end of the week.
"The incidents at Musselburgh were extremely distressing for everyone involved," the BHA said in a statement.
"Work will now be undertaken to identify if there are any risk factors at the course or with the horses that might have contributed to these incidents.
"The BHA's inspector of courses will be visiting Musselburgh in the coming days to carry out a full inspection.
"Some of the horses are also being sent for post-mortems to establish more information, including for one of the horses whose death seems to relate to a sudden collapse."
Kensukes Kingdom trainer Phillip Hobbs, Moffat and track officials all believe the track did not cause the deaths.
"The course was fine," Hobbs said.
"It was just one of those things, unlucky and upsetting for staff and owners."
The investigation comes as the BHA finalises a report into the deaths of six horses at the four-day Cheltenham Festival earlier this year.
Four of the six horses died on the final day of racing at the March event.

Students as partners in cyclic continuous curriculum development (2009)

PublisherUniversity of Canterbury. School of Educational Studies and Human Development
AuthorsLovett, S.show all
The 2007 revision of the New Zealand school curriculum (NZC) requires individual schools to design curriculum to reflect the needs of their local communities through consultation with their communities. For most schools 'consultation' has meant keeping parents informed of developments the school has decided. However, Southbridge School has adopted a more proactive and courageous approach inviting parental and student input at each step of the curriculum design process. Regular conversations about learning have enabled parents, students and teachers to work as partners to shape the evolving curriculum. Such conversations closely mirror the action research cycles of plan, act, develop and reflect to show parents and students that their contributions matter. This paper addresses one aspect of this partnership, the students' contributions referred to as student voice and participation in the literature. The paper will highlight the value of student voice, the strategies adopted by Southbridge School to seek student voice and suggest future possibilities. Data for the paper are drawn from two student engagement surveys, focus group interviews with students and observations of student participation in curriculum development meetings. This paper is an account of how the school has developed its local curriculum, (named the 2020Vision project), to attract and sustain student voice in its development. Attention to the student voice is believed to be critical if schools are to equip students with the knowledge, competencies and values needed for citizenship in the twenty-first century.

Two weeks after the 2016 election, the New York Times conducted an interview with the President of the United States. When asked about the issue of climate change, he famously stated, "I'm not sure anybody is ever going to really know."
Sometimes, it feels that way. Amidst the extreme political polarization of the past decade, climate change has become an increasingly controversial topic in American politics.
Many argue that there is clear evidence that global warming is real and exacerbated by human activity; others dispute the notion that the earth's temperature is changing significantly at all.
Some protest the use of coal as an evil of mankind, while some write blaring headlines about government conspiracies. Semantics, of course, are as important as ever -- terms like "climate denier" and "warmist" are used to vilify those of differing beliefs.
The search for the truth is thus made ever more difficult by accusations of lying and ignorance on all sides, which further thicken the web of mixed messages faced by voters.
In an attempt to clarify the matter, believers in climate change frequently cite the consensus statistic -- that 97% of climate scientists agree that humans have a role to play in the warming of the earth's atmosphere.
But where are these scientists? Other than from Bill Nye the Science Guy, it is all too rare that we hear confirmation or rejection of claims from people on the ground.
This is not due to a lack of scientific data on the earth's climate, however; papers analyzing extensive data collected by satellites and sea thermometers are frequently published in journals like Nature.
Instead, the lack of clarity comes from a self-perpetuating gap between the scientific community and the general public: researchers publish papers that must be actively sought out and use terminology inaccessible to large sectors of the population. Without having heard from the scientists directly, citizens grow weary and skeptical of their claims.
In the end, media outlets end up with broad authority on the public's perception of climate change.
Though, on occasion, they provide real platforms for scientific debate (which often dissolves into mudslinging and shouting matches), they are much quicker to run clips of political speeches and conduct panels between journalists.
There are, however, scientists who wish to change that reality.
Benjamin Santer is an atmospheric scientist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California, who has studied climate science for over four decades.
In an interview for IVN, he tasked scientists with a mission:
"[Climate change] is an existential issue, and scientists have a responsibility not just to do the work, but also to find creative ways of talking about what they do and what they've learned and why it matters to others." - Dr. Benjamin Santer
Dr. Santer believes that the active involvement of scientists could drastically change the current conversation about climate change. Beyond just researching, his colleagues need to work on "translating that scientific understanding into plain English."
Climate change has been a hot topic in American politics for decades now. Of late, though, the mainstream media has lost its credibility as an analyst of climate change data.
The influences of sensationalism and partisanship on the media have led to the adoption of fundamentally different assumptions across networks -- from FOX News's unanimous "debates" to The Guardian's open climate change activism, the conversation about climate change is no longer a conversation, but an occasional clash of ideologically inconsistent worldviews.
But recent reports of EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt's idea for a televised debate between scientists on the issue of climate change suggest a turning point. Time has proven that five-minute news segments do not serve as adequate platforms for debate.
If this "robust discussion" could be an opportunity to hear at length about the research people dedicate their lives to, it should absolutely be seized.
"Climate science has been elevated in public and political discourse," says Dr. Santer. "There are now opportunities to educate -- to tell people about the science we do and the outcomes if we do nothing."
As voters, we must approach issues with an open mind and give credibility consistently where it is due, not on a case-by-case basis according to our political beliefs.
It has yet to be seen where the rumors of a government-sponsored climate change debate will take us. All that we can hope is that the truth will emerge.

text: First two weeks into my new project and I have been designing some workshop materials. I have made different hangers so the kids in our project can place symbols and pictures in places they play. In part, we want to learn about their outdoor play but are also hoping the symbols and hangers can be appropriated by other kids in the future. As such, I have also put together an Instructable.

Would you like to take a weekend trip or perhaps plan a biking holiday this summer? The Coastal Trail Bicycle Route offers an alternative for those who want to discover the countryside and the archipelago and enjoy an active but relaxing bike tour.
You can choose to take the bike from Hanko on the boat to Bengtskär lighthouse and then continue to Kasnäs and discover Kemiö island, Mathildedal and the national park in Tykö on the way to Raasepori. Stay at a B&B, enjoy yourself at cafées and discover new places. Alternatively you can head for Salo where you can easily take the train to Turku or Helsinki.
You can choose between themed routes, depending on if you are interested in locally produced food and breweries, nature and nature parks or perhaps different historical works environments and villas. The route is signposted and easy to follow.
You can find more information on the Coastal Trail Bicycle Route and different themed routes as well as about accommodation and service at: www.coastalroute.fi
Tip! Start your bike trip in Helsinki
You can also choose to ride a bike from Helsinki to Hanko from and experience the vivid countryside of Länsiuusimaa along the way. On the way you will pass Siuntio, Inkoo, Fagervik and Snappertuna. From Raseborg you continue towards Hanko and after enjoying a archipelago cruise the bike route takes you to Kimitoön and Salo.
Take a look at the sights and services in the Raseborg area!
Tips for biking from Ekenäs to Hanko
The distance along the signed bicycle route from Raseborg to Hanko is about 40 km. Along the way you can find a lot of sights and it is recommended to reserve enough time to make stops along the way. In the following we present a few tips for the road, ranging from war memories and museums to culture, nature – and naturally the best beaches along this coastal route!
The first recommended stop after Ekenäs is Dagmar Park, situated 12 km from the city center. The Czarina of Russia, Dagmar, enjoyed the Källviken spring and surrounding marine environment of Tammisaari at the end of the 19th century. Here visitors can get a marvellous view of the seascape from the rock formations around the spring, where there is a memorial stone commemorating Czar Alexander III and his fiancée Princess Dagmar of Denmark and, naturally, the soothing sound of a burbling spring.
The route then continues towards Skogby village. This old sawmill community consists of workers housing from the 19th century until the 1950s. In the village there is also several other old buildings as a village shop and a health care center. We recommend to stop at Villa Kosthåll for a coffee or lunch.
War history
On the northern side of the main road (Valtatie 25) you can make a detour to find a lot of interesting war history. The bunker Irma is totally renovated and open for visits by separate agreement. Also the Harparskog defence line is still very visible. It was constructed between 1940 and 1941 along the border of the Soviet naval base on Hanko peninsula. Also the Mannerheim Stone is worth a visit. This stone commemorates the place where Marshall Carl Gustaf Mannerheim officially on December 14th 1941 received the salute from the regiment that had defended Hanko.
Six kilometers towards Hanko in the village of Lappohja you can find the Hanko Front Museum. This museum offers a perfect opportunity to get an insight into the war history. The renewed permanent exhibition "Hanko in foreign hands" is about the period of time when Hanko was a Soviet naval base in 1940-1941.
Beaches and nature
From Lappohja village the route continues along the road Koverharintie and right at the beginning of the road is the beautiful beach Lappohjan uimaranta. This is a perfect spot for a refreshing swim in the Baltic Sea, after all, you have already biked 18 km! After a dip the route continues towards Hanko, there is still a lot of culture and nature on the way!
The Koverhar Iron and Steel Plant Memorial by the local artist Heikki Kukkonen can be admired along the Koverharintie. This iron plant was working in Hanko 1961-2012. After this memorial it is time to make a left turn to Tvärminnentie and prepare yourself for enjoying the beautiful nature on Hankoniemi peninsula. The first stop is the bird tower at Svanviken. Svanvik is an open and shallow bay, where great amounts of seabirds and wading birds gather during migration. Hanko is a top spot for bird watching, the strategic funnel-shape Hanko peninsula is one of the most frequented flyways for migratory birds.
The nature trail of Högholmen situated about 10 km from Hanko and invites you to take a magnificent walk. First the path will lead you through a pinewood, then over some sand dunes out to the tall cliffs with an astonishing view over the Baltic Sea. Högholmen is a private nature reserve with a nature trail, which has twelve information boards about the special natural features of the area. There are some impressive pinewoods, sand beaches, dunes and underwater sandbanks in the area. Next to the nature trail is Henriksberg gallery. It is a non-commercial cultural space open to the public under reservation all year round.
The route runs parallel to the seashore and you can probably feel the scent the sea through the pine wood! Vedagrundet beach is a beautiful dune beach and also Ryssholmen beach is suitable for swimming. Next to the air field is a environmental project to explore; Operaation Täktominlahti (site in Finnish) was established in 2009, and the current goal is to build a second wetland. The nutrient uptake by plants in this wetland will decrease the eutrophication of Täktominlahti. If you fancy an ice cream you should visit the café at the golf course and for locally grown vegetables and free ranging eggs we recommend the Sjöberg farm along a road named Västankärrintie.
A road you should not miss is Långörnintie. Along the road is a permanent art exhibition with works by local artist Knutte Sundberg (1940–2004). If you walk or ride a bike attentively along Långörnsvägen down towards the sea shore you will find silent tree stumps, works of art made from old ship wreck pieces and detailed woodcarvings. There are almost 60 objects to discover outdoors.
Along Täktomintie there is one more recommended stop at The Soviet Monument. Soviet soldiers are buried close to the monument, 267 of them are unidentified. They were killed in action during the Continuation War. Finally the signed bike route turns down towards the sea and the last stop is The House of the Four Winds, where you should stop to celebrate a fantastic day on bike with a magnificent piece of cake!

So what comes next when in the league's expansion plans? Who are the frontrunners for No. 21?
"Right now we're just going to take a deep breath," Garber told media on a Tuesday conference call. "There's still a lot of activity going on in a lot of different markets.
GUIDE: All you need to know to become a NYCFC supporter
"There's activity in Miami, there's activity in Orlando, Atlanta and a handful of other places," continued Garber. "But right now we're very focused on getting NYCFC up and launched and in the time to come we'll figure out what comes next for us."
New York City FC, jointly owned by Manchester City and the New York Yankees, are slated to begin MLS play for the 2015 season and Manchester City CEO Ferran Soriano says the club will play in a temporary stadium while the club pursues a new permanent home.

Behind The Wheel: 2014 Kia Sorento EX AWD
The 2014 Kia Sorento has only received some slight styling updates from 2013 including an updated front fascia with rectangle headlights and an updated roof racks. The underpinnings have been left pretty much untouched, keeping the 2014 Kia Sorento a great ride with a decent value. Lets see how the test drive went.
The 2014 Kia Sorento EX has an all wheel drive chassis powered by a 3.3L Dual Overhead Cam (DOHC) GDI CVVT V6 motor. The V6 is mated to a 6 speed Automatic Transmission with Sportmatic. For the EX this is the only engine option. The base model includes a 2.4L 4 cylinder. The V6 offers 290 Horsepower with 252 Feet-Pound of torque. The EX has an Eco mode to help you with the gas savings as the mileage on the EX could be better. Average mileage is 20 MPG with City being 18 MPG and highway being 24Mpg. The 3.3L engine gives the Sorento plenty of power for take off's and also for passing on the highway. During the week-long test I came in just over those numbers by a half Mile Per Gallon. Most of the driving was done in ECO mode. You could drop those numbers even lower with a heavy foot and using the Sportmatic transmission.
Exterior styling includes an updated front fascia that has squared off fog lights as opposed to round ones from the 2013 model year. The outside mirrors are powered, heated and have turn signal indicators. The rear windows are equipped with privacy glass. The 2014 also has a rear spoiler. Standard is the Panoramic Roof with Power sunshade. This gives you a mostly glass roof with privacy glass. The front half functions as a power sun roof and there is a power sunshade that will roll from the rear to the front. The roof allows a great view of the sky for all 3 rows of seating.
The 2014 KIA Sorento is loaded with safety features. They start with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) to keep your 18 inch tires properly inflated at all times. There is also Traction control and Electronic Stability Control to help keep you on the straight and narrow in inclement weather or going around corners. To help you stop when it is bad out, or you happen to have a small furry creature run out in front of you the Sorento has ABS Brakes. Should an accident occur, Kia has you covered with dual front airbags, front active head restraints and front seat mounted side airbags. Not to be forgotten, you passengers are also well protected with side curtain airbags. The 2014 Kia Sorento was given a 5 Star crash rating per safercar.gov. Both Frontal and Side impact ratings are 5 stars, with the Rollover rating being 4 stars. Other safety features are blind spot detection with visual alerts in the mirrors and audible alerts, and a backup camera to make sure there is nothing in your path when in reverse.
The Interior is feature packed and comfortable for most everyone inside. Both the driver and passenger seats leather and have both heat and ventilated cooling. They are also full power with the driver's seat including lumber support and passenger getting 4 way power seats. Both seats heating and cooling have 3 level setting each. The second and third row seats are also leather. The driver's seat is one of the most comfortable seats I'm had the pleasure of putting my behind in. With long distance driving there was no fatigue or adjusting due to becoming uncomfortable. Only downside to the 3rd row seating is that space in limited and makes it very difficult for all but younger children to get in.
The 2014 Sorento features dual climate controls to keep both the driver and passenger comfortable during your journey's. The settings allow you to set and exact temp. If you are by yourself or have both the driver and passenger agree on the temperature, you can set the auto function that will monitor the temp and adjust the speed and location that the air is coming from. For the rear passengers, there are vents in the B pillars.
One of the nice features from Kia in the Sorento is the "virtual" Speedometer. This is a totally digital speedometer that shows all of your setting and features in the center of it. There are even options to change the size of the speed numbers. In the center you can show everything from that you are streaming bluetooth, to your navigation directions.
To keep you and your family occupied during long trips, the EX model features an Infinity Sound System paired to an 8 inch touch screen that includes AM/FM/CD/SAT radio/Bluetooth . The SAT radio comes with a free 3 month subscription. You can control all of the radio functions from the leather wrapped steering wheel. With the Bluetooth function, you can connect your phone or tablet to listen to music or movies from your device through the cars Infinity Speakers. If you happen to have a non-bluetooth device or just don't want to sync another device to your radio there is also a USB jack and 3.5mm Aux in to listen to music from pretty much any device. Kia also offers a jack to connect your iPad/iPod/iPhone to give you a direct connection with your device and charge it all from the same plug. You can also make hands free calls with just the touch of a button on the steering wheel. Hands free-calling sound is also some of the clearest of the cars tested. To keep you on the right track, the 8 inch screen has full nav with voice directions. You can manually adjust the volume of the voice navigation separate from the music you are listening too.
The touch screen also includes UVO eServices that gives you and in-depth look into your cars health, your safety, and your location. These services are able to connect you with help with just a touch of a button where it be the Kia roadside assistance or 911. The car will also remind you of upcoming scheduled maintenance and with run vehicle diagnostics for times when you may have a check engine light on. With a connected phone, you can also easily find the location of your car should you forget where you parked at the mall parking lot. The system also gives you the options to control your music via voice commands.
The included warranty provided by Kia is 10 year/100,000 mile Limited Powertrain, 5 year/60,000 Limited Basic Warranty, and a 5 Year/60,000 mile Roadside Assistance.
MSRP for the 2014 Kia Sorento EX AWD is $37,700 with a price as tested at $36,550 that includes the upgraded Touring Package and freight and handling.
