Profitable back-to-school sales are a boon to many retailers, who count on every pencil sold to boost their bottom line.
Fortunately, some businesses are able to return a portion of their profits to benefit local communities. Target has a longstanding corporate commitment to give back 5 percent of profits from its 1,856 stores – about $4 million every week – through programs that support the environment, health and well-being, safety and preparedness, and volunteerism.
The Minneapolis chain also focuses its philanthropy on education, including the Meals for Minds program which partners with Feeding America to ensure that students have access to nutritious food at their schools. It also provides grants to K-12 classrooms to support early childhood reading programs, as well as art and cultural experiences.
School Library Makeover is the signature program of its $1 billion campaign to support education. Since 2007, Target has renovated 150 elementary school libraries across the country. Schools are selected because their students had low levels of reading proficiency and high rates of poverty.
In partnership with The Heart of America Foundation, which promotes success through literacy, workers and volunteers gut and even expand outdated spaces to provide new carpet, furniture and, importantly, shelves to hold 2,000 new books. Significant technology upgrades are part of the package, and schools have the opportunity to receive a Meals for Minds food pantry to help in-need students and their families with fresh produce and nutritious food staples.
Another 25 schools have been selected for projects that will begin soon. Celebrations are held when new libraries are unveiled. Each student – and their siblings, if present – receive seven new books to expand or start their own home library.
Principals involved with the projects say the impact on both student achievement and self-esteem has been extraordinary. Brad Rumble of Leo Politi Elementary School in Los Angeles credits the change to "pride of ownership."
"What I did not expect was that this school pride has spilled over into other aspects of school life," Rumble says. "I especially see the change in our older students – for example, our fifth-grade students, whose maturity and confidence amaze us in so many ways."
Houston's Burbank Elementary School has observed a significant increase in the number of students participating in its Accelerated Reading program. "This is especially true for bilingual Spanish-reading students," says Principal Hilarion Martinez. "Their circulation use has increased because they have been provided with even more Spanish titles than were previously offered."
Martinez adds that that teachers and parents are thrilled with the library improvements. "Everyone seems to have forgotten the look of the former library. Even the new smell has taken people by surprise," he says.
"Teachers now consistently request specific books and class sets as it relates to their students' reading needs and unit objectives. Students enjoy learning from tablets and being able to interact with the SmartBoard during the lessons being taught. Many do not have a computer or tablet at home, which makes them so eager and much more willing to complete learning objectives and learn how to navigate the technology resources."
Technology has been deployed for professional development training at Park Ridge Elementary School in Ft. Lauderdale. "Teachers have been inspired by the new library to use the additional resources during lesson implementation," says media specialist Gina McKnight Ade-Onojobi, noting that many are creating "text sets" with books, videos and other resources to support lesson implementation. "Lesson planning and development is critical to effective teacher delivery and student mastery."
Ade-Onojobi adds that the welcoming environment has created an association of the library as a fun place to visit. Circulation of books doubled from the 2011-12 to 2012-13 school year – including use by parents who take advantage of the new section of self-help titles for adults.
Principal Maria Arias Evans has seen a similar response at Washington Elementary in predominantly Latino San Jose, Calif., a Title I school where 95 percent of students qualify for the Free and Reduced Lunch Program. The interest has not waned since its library was overhauled five years ago.
"Because of the ongoing support of books and resources by Target, my school has made significant growth on state testing," Evans says. "Miraculously, as reading scores improve, so do math scores. But most importantly, a Latino immigrant community has embraced their school six days a week, 12 months out of the year. Yes, the library is open June and July – because the need for reading in a struggling community does not allow for a break from reality."

Now, I don't say that because I like to fill a backpack full of books and hike up and down the stairs (although that may be a good idea). I say it because, the library is like a FREE Barnes & Noble. You don't need to buy a year-long subscription to Backpacker Magazine to read the latest travel tips - the library has present and past issues available at no cost. You can check out books about wildflowers in the area you plan to visit, travel guides for National Park trips, books about the best backpacking trips, and anything to do with international adventure travel. One of my favorite things is to find a novel set in my destination - books on CD from the library are great for that - especially if you plan to drive to the AGC meeting spot. The AGC trip info sheet also includes suggested reading - no need to purchase a new book - the library is a great place to practice green habits: reusing and recycling. If you're like me and enjoy researching an area before you go, start with your local library. You can walk out with a bag of new items with no buyer's remorse!

My Beef…
Many theory books teach the cycle of fifths without the crucial explanations of Why?, and then they list the "order of flats and sharps", again without the Why? Okay I got a bit of a beef with that. My pet peeve. A pet beef…
What we are really doing here, is building major scales, getting to the keys and keys ignatures. And while we of course can do that using the good old time tested Cycle, I prefer to:
- use a much easier and faster method to figure out the make up of a scale and how to name it without driving yourself crazy with sharps and flats and double flats! —> see the article.
- and, instead use the cycle of fifths for much more exciting things such as
- using it as a practice tool
- using it to analyze songs
- have some super jammy fun with it
- make pretty mandalas to understand how note relationships work.
And since we are talking beef…
that whole "WWHWWWH" thing is lost on me just the same. I prefer knowing the relationships (ie intervals!) of every single note within the scale to the root.
- Less counting!
- Less miscounting!
- Thinking relationally rather than linearly
- You know how the notes will sound within the scale context
- It's closely related to chord naming -> useful!
- Helps to understand how the scale and chords are put together!
But I digress with my beefs and pet peeves here! The question reveals confusion that we can clear up easily. This will make your life much easier. Hope this helps! Check it out! If you cannot see the Quora Box below, click here

Was there supposed to be a functional link in "double flats! —> see the article."
—May 6, 2017, 08:11
Thanks for the response. I see the Quora article "What is the list order of sharps in the in the key signature of Cb major?" It is at the bottom of the article. I just kept thinking some part of the words or one of the words in "see the article" was going to be hyperlink. I am using Chrome on a Mac. Hope to see you at the Bananas event. I bought my bass at that store.

Festivals, good food, and nature!
An organic food market is a must for foodies, where you can pick some local produce or treat your taste buds to some worldy delights. Once you have filled your boots with some exotic cuisine, head over to the Horta Museum to fill up on a heavy dose of local culture and history. Here you have an impressive collection of art and artifacts dedicated to the life of Belgian art nouveau architect, Victor Horta. Now it's time to pick up some waffles at the market, and head to the leafy Parc de Forest for some relaxation among nature.

Washington D.C. --- U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu today detailed President Barack Obama's $26.4 billion Fiscal Year 2010 budget request for the Department of Energy, highlighting the Administration's commitment to transformational discoveries, breakthrough science, and innovative technologies in the nation's effort to secure reliable, clean, safe and secure energy, create new jobs and fight climate change. While the budget makes important investments in energy independence and job creation, it also cuts back on programs that don't work as well or are no longer needed.
"The President's budget for energy reflects his commitment to ending our dependence on foreign oil, restoring our scientific leadership and putting Americans back to work through investments in a new green energy economy," Secretary Chu said. "It also demonstrates his commitment to using taxpayer dollars wisely - cutting spending on programs we don't need so we can make strategic investments in our economic future."
The President's FY10 budget complements $38.7 billion the Department of Energy will invest as part of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Specifically, the President's FY10 budget:
- Cuts funding for programs that aren't needed or aren't as effective as other investments - like more than $200 million in oil and gas company research that the companies can and do fund on their own.
- Substantially expands the use of clean, renewable energy sources while improving energy transmission infrastructure.
- Supports the Administration's goal to develop a smart, strong and secure electricity grid.
- Helps restore America's leadership in scientific research and innovation - including transformative science that can lead to a new generation of clean energy jobs.
- Makes significant investments in low-emissions plug-in and hybrid vehicles, nuclear energy, and clean coal technologies, as part of the Obama Administration's aggressive effort to reduce greenhouse gas production.
- Supports the ongoing security of our weapons stockpile, continued efforts at nuclear non-proliferation and ongoing environmental cleanup and legacy management as part of the Department's long-term stewardship responsibilities.

Stationery on the way to the UK at last?
3 comments:
Ah, that's the one I saw in the Merry Hill land of pounds, most definitely. So at some point I think I'll have to invest in one of these, before they all disappear. They do look nicely designed and colourful, and I'll be very interested to see what other goodies turn up eventually. With luck sooner rather than later.ReplyDelete
Just wondering though, it says "Rainbow" and seems to say "MA" under it. I'm guessing it has more letters, or is the MA bit just squiggles that look like letters? :)Replies
If you ignore the locking bit and just treat it as a notebook, I think you'll probably quite like it. A shame about those sticky-out catches, but they're stuck on tight and can't easily be removed without damaging the book.Delete
Ah, the curse of the camera flash. :P That text actually says "Rainbow Magic".
Ohhh I see. RD would be very pleased I'm sure! ;)ReplyDelete

I read an interesting statistic today… approximately 4,000 e-books are self-published on Amazon EVERY DAY.
Thats crazy!
I looked into it and Amazon doesn't actually share e-book stats with anyone, never mind sharing their sales numbers to the publishing industry but it seems like the actual number might even be higher than 4,000. Interesting.
I read this article too and it poses a lot of questions about how and why Amazon might be keeping book sales information to themselves. Here is a similarity compelling article on the topic from GoodReads.
Of course, they also say most statistics are
MADE-UP on the spot.
On another topic: What have you been reading lately?
Here are my most recent reads for 2018:
"The Last Mrs. Parrish" by Liv Constantine
"The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle" by Stuart Turton
"The Golden Egg" and "The Jewels of Paradise" by Donna Leon

Many of you may not realize this but neck pain is a very common issue among people nowadays, mostly a result of bad posture and sitting hunched in front of the computer. Needless to say, neck pain can get quite insufferable if not properly dealt with. Fortunately, there are many ways to deal with neck pain these days, from trained professionals to specially designed devices.
Seeing how many of us cannot afford to employ the services of a professional masseur for the job, the use of a neck massager might just be the next best thing. For your consideration, we put together a list of the ten best neck massagers on the market right now.
Best Neck Massagers 2019
10Homedics NMS-230-THP Shiatsu Neck Massager
This deep kneading shiatsu massager from Homedics is perhaps one of the best money can buy. We say this because it uses an easy-to-use integrated control feature and flex handles to customize the intensity of your massage. On top of this, the device will provide a soothing source of heat during the massaging process. In this regard, it is important for neck massagers to provide soothing functions as well as pain relief, which is precisely what the Homedics NMS-230-THP does.
9Massage Therapy Concepts Digital Neck Massager with Infrared Heat
With this neck massager, you get the benefit of pulse therapy, a technology that stimulates and improves circulation in the spinal cord, vertebrae, and nerve roots. At the same time, it also helps relieve deep tissue inflammation and swelling through an advanced vibration therapy feature. Interestingly enough, it also uses an electromagnetic field aimed at providing the same benefits of acupuncture therapy.
8Naipo Neck Pillow Massager
What makes this neck massager stand out is its ability to mimic the kneading motions of a real massage therapist, thus helping you relax during the massaging process. It is also quite versatile by design, as it can massage not only the neck but your back, shoulders, lumbar region, and calves. Furthermore, this device enjoys a heating function that allows the massager to heat up massage nodes u tp 40 degrees Celsius.
7HoMedics NMS-375 Shiatsu Neck and Shoulder Massager
This deep kneading shiatsu and vibration massager uses a convenient integrated control feature that gives you full control over its capabilities. Speaking of which, this massager has three massage options to choose from: shiatsu, vibration / combined, or a soothing heat function for maximum relaxation. Not only that but it also features custom comfort flex handles built to allow you to customize the intensity of its massaging functions.
6Nekteck Shiatsu Deep Kneading Massage Pillow
It is important for any neck massager you might consider buying to be not only easy to operate but comfortable as well. Such is the case with the Nekteck Shiatsu Deep Kneading Massage Pillow which enjoys a lightweight construction that makes it comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Thanks to its built-in heating function, this massage pillow will help soothe fatigued muscles and reduce stress while its three custom speed massaging modes provide you with the therapeutic massaging your neck requires.
5Five Star FS8801 Shiatsu Neck & Back Massager
This particular massager uses eight kneading rollers with a soothing heat for therapeutic purposes. It is also capable of massaging in two directions if needed, with a simple one-button switch to choose which one. As you would expect from any high-end massager, this device can also massage the back, waist, limbs, and shoulders along with being very effective at providing your neck with the comfort it deserves.
4LiBa Shiatsu Neck Massager
Equipped with four improved massage nodes, this massager will reach muscles your average massager simply cannot. It does so while providing a heating function aimed at relaxing your body by loosening the muscles. Not only that but it also has bi-directional capabilities that enable you to choose which way the massager will operate. On top of all this, it features a multi-position capability, one that allows it to be used to massage other areas of your body as well.
3Gideon Shiatsu Deep Kneading Massage Pillow
Thanks to its four rotating massage nodes, this massager will penetrate deep into your neck to loosen tight muscles and to help release any stress, aches, knots, or tension you may experience. As expected from such a high-end device, it also comes with a warming feature that delivers comfortable warmth during the massaging process. At the same time, it features 3D counter-rotating balls designed to penetrate the tissue as far as possible while mimicking the kneading and penetration of professional massage therapists.
2Shiatsu Neck & Back Massager Pillow
This ergonomically designed back massager will fit perfectly against the contoured shape of your neck so as to provide you with the perfect neck massage. Thanks to its advanced heating function, this massager will help you relax during the massaging process while the gentle heat soothes aching muscles as much as possible. Interestingly enough, this device also comes with an automatic one-minute timer that will make the device change direction every minute to avoid putting too much pressure on a single spot.
1Zyllion ZMA-13-BK FDA Listed Shiatsu Pillow Massager
There is perhaps no better neck massager on the market at this point in time than Zyllion ZMA-13-BK FDA and it's easy to see why. This ergonomic massager enjoys a 6-cm ultra slim body that makes it perfect for massaging not only the neck but the upper back or the abdomen as well. Due to its four deep-kneading shiatsu massager nodes, it will penetrate deep into the muscle tissue to provide the therapeutic benefits it was designed to provide. Last but not least, this device comes with an adjustable strap to secure the cushion safely in place and with a 20-minute auto shut-off feature for good measure.

When do we do Science was a question that my BT (Ashley) asked at our syndicate meeting.
I thought about it and instantly knew the answer to it. Because it was the End of the Term and there were lots of things to complete on my mind, I could never get a chance to talk to Ashley about the question she had asked.
This Term we have been studying about 'Whare Tapa Wha' and 'The School values'. Though we did a lot about all our five school values and researched how we could make these values visible in the school, we had also touched on the science bit through the values of 'Whanaungatanga and Ako'.
We had seen that most of our students brought sugary drinks to school along with their lunch packs. I wanted to discourage unhealthy drinks within my class and wanted them to start getting water bottles to school. For this we started our little water campaign where students were encouraged to drink water other than sugary drinks. To make this campaign comprehensive, students researched about how water was important for our bodies and also read lots of texts about places where water was scarce. We made posters and then our class led to educating other classes about why water was important for our bodies.
So here was our little integration with science into our unit. Hopefully Ashely will read this blog post and will have her questions answered. But I do agree with you Ashley that we need to look into our units and have a complete inquiry based on a science topic.
My class blog- 2016

When do we do Science?
1 comment:
Good point Archana! I hadn't thought of our water campaign actually, and the scientific knowledge the students would have learnt from that project.ReplyDelete
I would love to do a science inquiry as well though, more explicitly teaching the science method of asking and answering questions.
This has encouraged me to think more cross-curricula in my reflections of my teaching. Thanks for sharing!

Disney's new film "Old Dogs" features two great friends and business partners as the lead characters. They manage clients together, laugh together and when one of them needs consolation, the other one is willing to help provide a carefree and wild night to help his friend forget about his troubles. After such a wild night unfolds in a flashback, the consequences come back to one character nearly a decade later as he finds out that he has two children that he did not even know existed. The plot of the movie revolves around the two friends trying to trying to take care of these children with their very little experience in the parenting department. However, although "Old Dogs" has some funny moments, the movie ultimately has more bark than bite.
In the film, Robin Williams plays Dan, a divorced man who is great friends with his business partner Charlie, played by John Travolta. After Charlie takes Dan out for the aforementioned wild evening, that night becomes fodder for business clients during sales meetings. However, several years after the event takes place, Dan is told suddenly that he has two children that he has to take care of as their mother serves a couple of weeks of prison time for a minor offense. The premise of a father bonding after time apart is nothing new and unfortunately, the movie does not provide a lot of laughs from the idea.
Many of the jokes are crude and most of them fall flat. From the story of the wild night together to tasteless humor about an actual old dog, the comedic bits are tired and disappointing and they are often introduced through ridiculous plot twists. After the first part of the movie, though, there are a few comedic moments that made me and the audience I was watching with laugh out loud, including a funny bit about the comedic side effects of certain pills and penguin attacks from a zoo. However, those few laughs do not compensate for the rest of this film.
The movie, like many family-friendly films before, does feature some positive themes about fatherhood. Eventually, both Dan and Charlie discover the joys that come from having children. Both businessmen realize what the kids mean to them and both develop as characters because of that. The theme is a solid one but the movie wastes it with crude humor and not enough comedy.
"Old Dogs" comes with a solid class of actors including its two leads, Travolta and Williams. Kelly Preston, Rita Wilson and Seth Green also join the fun as supporting characters. These actors have all had solid roles before but they are wasted in this often unfunny picture.
Many families will likely go to see "Old Dogs" this weekend and some will likely enjoy some of the crude humor. However, there are smarter and funnier movies that could have been made with the same overall concept than this and those films would have succeeded far better than. Unfortunately, these "old dogs" have not yet learned any new tricks.

Saudi Shiites Look to Iraq and Assert Rights (NEIL MacFARQUHAR, 3/02/05, NY Times)
Saudi Arabia's religious establishment, which is dominated by the Wahhabi branch of Sunni Islam, still damns such rites [as Ashura] as pagan orgies. But the fact that Shiites, at least in this city, their main center, no longer feel the need to hide reflects a combination of important changes here and elsewhere in the Middle East.
The most important include the emergence of an elected Shiite majority government next door in Iraq, the campaign for municipal elections here in the country's first nationwide polls and a relaxation in some of the discrimination that Shiites have long faced in the kingdom.
The limited municipal council elections scheduled throughout eastern Saudi Arabia are expected to earn Shiite candidates all five seats up for grabs in Qatif, an urban area of 900,000 on the Persian Gulf.
In a sight startling for Saudi Arabia, Sheik Hassan al-Saffar, a dissident Shiite cleric who has been jailed and spent the 15 years before 1995 in exile, spoke for an hour in one candidate's campaign tent on the first big night of electioneering. Even limited elections are important, he said, "because they ignited in people's minds the spark of thinking about their interests and aspirations."
Sheik Saffar also drew parallels to Iraq, saying voting was the least Saudis could do, considering the risks their brethren had taken next door to exercise this new freedom. He took great pains to say it was a question for all Saudis, not Shiites alone.
The kingdom's two million Shiites, most living in the Eastern Province, constitute about 10 to 15 percent of the native Saudi population.
And the Shi'a shall lead.... Posted by Orrin Judd at March 2, 2005 4:50 PM

Comics get a bad rep for printing covers that have nothing to do with the contents of the story, and that's often deserved. But with Supergirl #18…yes, she does sprout fiery angelic wings while battling classic JLA villain Despero.
You can't say Peter David's Supergirl series doesn't distinguish itself from Superman's multiple titles. Spirituality is a major theme, and one that doesn't play well in Superman stories (personally, I've never been a fan of applying Jesus imagery to Superman). It works excellently with this version of Supergirl, though. David gradually unveils the series' mythology over the course of the run, leaving plenty of room for mysteries and surprises.
Fans of David's X-Factor no doubt recall Layla Miller, the ultra-precocious young girl who "knew stuff." Well, this series gives us her precursor—a friendless orphan named Wally who claims to be God. It's been a long time since I've read this, and I don't recall what exactly the deal was with him, but I'm curious to rediscover that answer. Issue #18 features a wonderful moment that humanizes the boy (who, under a lesser writer, could easily have become insufferable).
This issue also further develops the familial relationship between Supergirl and Linda Danvers's father. Though, yes, Supergirl technically is Linda, but not exactly…and they also seem to be something else…
So it's not the most accessible title, which explains why this version of Supergirl eventually faded away in favor of the original. (Also, the original version always returns…maybe a few months later, maybe a few decades later, but always. It's one of the immutable laws of comics.) Nevertheless, if you read this title from the start, it will reward you.

50 Reasons For Being a Homeopath' is a lovely little book. It consists of 50 letters from the famous homeopathic doctor J. Compton Burnett to a young skeptic 'Dr T.A.K' & was written around 1888. It still shines with truth today.
50 Reasons for Being a Homoepath
J.Compton Burnett
Part: 24
I am very anxious to show the difference between curing a case emperically and doing so scientifically – that is to say, homeopathically; and a paper I once published on Aralia will do this, and also be my twenty-fourth reason for being a homeopath. I choose this because you seem to think my singly given cases "isolated".
The Cough Of Aralia
Aralia racemosa is not an accepted homeopathic remedy, and Dr Allen did not insert Dr Jone's little proving in his encyclopaedia, but he has now put it in the appendix.
Dr Hughes has also now added it to the list in his well-known Pharmacodynamics, but only as a supplementary remedy. So it seems to be just timidly peeping into our big drug house. I know of no clinical experience with it beyond what we find in Hale's Therapeutics.
It appears that the plant has a great reputation in the United States as a cough medicine, and Professor E M Hale very properly says that this warrants us in expecting that it has at least some specific affinity for the respiratory organs. The common people in some way found out that the "spikenard" is good for coughs; Hale comes and makes a note of it. A step farther is made by Dr S A Jones, who made a proving of it in 1870, and this lifted the popular cough medicine out of useful empiricism on to the scientific basis of Hahnemann's induction.
I happened to read Jones's proving in Hale's New Remedies six or seven years ago, and I was much struck by the character of the cough. I fancy the thing that helped to impress it upon my mind was the fact that I had had just at that period a lady under my care who was suffering from a cough that came on after lying down at night. I had been tinkering away at this cough, and could not cure it; so I blamed the damp house in which the lady resided, and it's proximity to a brook prettily hidden among the willows close by. Hyoscyamous, Digitalis, and a number of other remedies came into play, but the cough would not budge a bit. Need I tell the heart-rending tale that the patient lost faith in her doctor (the writer) and in his much-vaunted pathy, and set about healing herself with quack medicines and orthodox sedative cough mixtures? Of course, I felt humiliated, and I therefore made up my mind to read my materia medica a little more diligently. It was quite evident that the cough was a curable one, for the most careful physical examination failed to detect anything besides a few moist rales that tallied with the moderate amount of expectoration. Failures are very instructive at times.
Just after receiving my 'conge' from this lady, I was reading Hale's New Remedies, and came across Dr S A Jone's proving…"At 3pm I took 10 drops of the mother tincture in two ounces of water. An interesting book caused me to forget my 'dose'. The events of the night jogged my memory very effectually."
He goes on to say that he retired to rest at midnight, feeling as well as ever, but he "had no sooner lain down than he was seized by a fit of asthma."
I put down the book – Hale's New Remedies was not quite so thick then as it is now – and said to myself, "That's Mrs N's cough, that is just how she goes. She lies down and forthwith begins to cough, to get laboured breathing, and to make her poor hard-toiling husband wish he were a bachelor." At least he might have wished it, for ought I know to the contrary.
A little time elapsed, and the writer was sent for to see one of this coughing lady's children with eczema. The bairn's common integument having been prescribed for, I timidly enquired about the cough. "oh", said Mrs N, "it is as bad as ever; I have tried everything, and do not know what to do." I sat down & wrote:
R Tc Aralia racemosa 2, and it cured, and that not because Aralia is good for coughs, and has an affinity for the respiratory organs merely, but because it is capable of causing a cough like the one that was to be cured.
This happened somewhere about six or seven years ago, and I have since cured this kind of cough with Aralia whenever I have come across it, and at a rough guess I should say that would be thirty or forty times.
Case II – Tussis Araliae – A lady came under my observation last summer. She resides in the West End of London, and had been under competent homeopathic treatment for her throat, and had certainly derived benefit, but still her cough did not leave her, so that she was on the point of removing from London and going to the South, whereof she is native, she and her friends having become apprehensive lest her chest should become affected. Her cough was not identical to Mrs N's, but the only difference was that it did not come on till after a first sleep of not long duration. Patient would go to bed quite well and lie down and go to sleep, and after a short sleep, would wake up with a severe fit of coughing that would last an hour or more.
Aralia 3 cured it entirely in a few days, and she gave up all idea of returning to the South.
Case III – Tussis Aralia – A child of not quite six gets croupy coughs in damp weather that usually yields to Dulcamara. Occasionally, however, there remains the kind of nocturnal cough described in Case II, viz. she will go to bed, lie down, fall off to sleep, and presently wake with a violent bout of coughing. Originally, before thinking or Aralia, I had in vain given Hyoscyamus, Gelsemium, Aconitum, Spongia, Hepar, Dulcamara, Phosphorus, and Bryonia. Then the early nocturnal character of the cough determined me to try Aralia, and with prompt effect.
Case IV – Tussis Aralia – An asthmatic gentleman of 50 years of age with moderate emphysema of the lungs, has long been under my care. At first he was almost always short of breath on exertion, and had bad noctural attacks of dyspnoea and cough. A prolonged course of constitutional treatment has at last partially cured him, but when he catches a cold he gets an attack of bronchial catarrh with early nocturnal cough.
It would be tedious to give the treatment of his whole case, but it will suffice to say it consisted principally of antipsorics and hepatics.
One day this gentleman said he wished I could give him a medicine for his cough, to have by his bedside at night, because otherwise when he caught cold (as at this time) he would go to bed quite well, fall aslep, and presently awake with a violent fit of asthma that would last from one to two hours, more or less; then he would get up a little phlegm and go to sleep again.
I prescribed one-drop powders of Aralia 3X, pro ve nata. The next time I had occasion to see this gentleman he exclaimed, "I thought those powders would have killed me. I took one as you directed, when my cough became much more violent than I had ever known it, but it soon ceased, and has never returned."
He keeps some of these powders by his bedside ever since, and on various occasions they have helped him, thus far unfailingly. He has not had an aggravation since the first time of using them.
These cases are examples only, but they teach a useful lesson: to give more than these would be irksome.
It will be seen that Aralia, although a new remedy, is a comparitively old friend of mine, and I can confidently commend it for early nocturnal cough that occurs either immediately on lying down, or MORE COMMONLY after a first fore-midnightly sleep.
Prof Samuel Jone's cough was immediately after he had lain down, but it will be noted that he did not retire until midnight, whereas all my patients, I believe, went to bed before. From a fairly extensive experience of Aralia as a cough remedy I have formed the conclusion that it is homeopathic to it's cough by reason of it's time and patient's recumbent position.
It is no good, I believe, in cough occurring at any time on lying down; neither does it avail in a cough caused by a relaxed uvula; neither will it, as far as I'm aware, cure any lung lesion whatsoever beyong bronchial irritation and catarrh. And most positively it is no good at all in the after midnightly or 2 -3 am dyspnoea and cough of genuine asthma. In such cases I have given it in vain. But for the previously described variety of cough it is a remedium probatissimum. Here, for the thousandth time, we see the exactness of our homeopathic science. In conclusion, my thanks to Professor Hale for introducing our now dear friend, Aralia, and my still greater gratitude to Professor Samuel Jones for the more intimate scientific acquaintance. As homeopaths we owe a deep debt of gratitude to drug provers.

All winter long, I've been inundated with emails telling me that if I order some pills, I can strengthen and prolong my fantasy . . . baseball team. One ignores this type of email at one's own peril. I ignored it. And I drew the 12th pick in our 12-team league.
We have a straight 5 x 5 league, with no salaries. You just pick any guy who's available when it's your turn. I call it "wussy rules," but it's all anyone in my league is willing to do, and really, it works perfectly well. It's just not for alpha males. With us, the order of selection snakes around, which means that in Round 1, the teams pick 1st through 12th, but in Round 2, it's 12th through 1st. For me, as the 12th man, that means I pick back to back. I get picks 12 and 13, 36 and 37, 60 and 61, and so on.
There's something very mellow about this. When you have someone picking in between -- say, you're 11th and you pick 11th and 14th -- it can be stressful. Which of your two guys do you pick first? If you wait for one of them, will he still be there three picks later? But when you're 12th (or 1st), you just make your two picks and grab a beer while the others are sweating.
The other thing about picking last is that you don't have to sweat your first-round pick. Obviously, A-Rod won't be around, and you don't have to worry about David Wright vs. Jimmy Rollins vs. Matt Holliday. There'll be someone pretty good still around when you pick, and it'll be pretty obvious who it is. Me, I picked Prince Fielder, 1B-Milwaukee, who led the NL last year with 50 homers, to go with 119 RBIs and a .288 average. Not bad for last pick.
My strategy, as I've written before, focuses on pitching, and specifically on WHIP (Walks plus Hits per Innings Pitched). So for each of the first four double picks I got, I would take one pitcher and one hitter. My own preference list for pitchers was based in large part on WHIP, so with Johan Santana going in the 11th pick, I chose Fielder followed by Jake Peavy. My next three pitchers were C.C. Sabathia (pick 36), Takashi Saito, a reliever (pick 60), and A.J. Burnett (pick 96). I added Clay Buchholz in Round 13 and Shawn Hill in Round 19. All in all, I did pretty well in pitching for a last-pick guy.
As for hitting, it's hard to complain too much. Everyone I picked has pretty good power and most have a decent batting average. I didn't get the cream of the crop, because I was focusing on pitching, but everyone has some pop in his bat. I got Chipper (Larry) Jones and Dan Uggla for my infield and Brad Hawpe, Aaron Rowand, and Ken Griffey, Jr., for my outfield, with probably Pat Burrell playing utility (essentially a DH). Each had at least 27 homers last year and 88 RBIs. (Hawpe had 116 RBIs.) Even my two most mediocre starters (Varitek at catcher and Peralta at shortstop) are passable.
I failed in two ways, both of them from lack of preparation. First, in years past, I'd made a list of players in order of preference at each position, and I'd noted how many stolen bases each one had. I didn't pick Juan Pierre types -- all steals, little else -- but I was able to piece together a team where most players had a decent number of steals. I didn't bother this year, and it hurt me. If I don't do something quickly, I'm going to be dead last in that category.
My second failing was with relief pitchers, who are mostly useful for the saves category. Instead of bringing with me a list of likely closers, as I've done in the past, I used last year's list. Two relief pitchers I drafted won't be closers this year. I discovered this when I drafted them and everyone else laughed at me. (These in-person drafts with people you know tend to involve the mockery gene that's attached to the Y chromosome. A couple of guys mocked me for picking Lastings Milledge -- in the 16th round. I said, "Yeah, I guess I wasted my 16th-round pick on him.") I ended up with two real closers, getting Brian Wilson of the Giants in my final pick, but I'm going to have to fix things.
The final thing I should mention about picking 12th is that this lowers the bar for success. As the last-place guy, I can invoke the survival rule that seems to operate in the Middle East. Remember the 1991 Gulf War, when we destroyed almost the entire Iraqi military with overwhelming force? Well, Saddam Hussein personally survived that onslaught, so in his own eyes, he won. The same will work with me this year in fantasy baseball. With the 12th pick, I should finish dead last, but I plan to be in contention, anyway. At least, if I can get some steals and a better second closer. And if I don't finish dead last, I've won.

Jason Calacanis' Mahalo is getting a facelift: Starting tonight, the site will look different, work different, and operate under a different business model.
Mahalo 2.0, as Jason is calling it, will still be a collection of user-curated Web pages -- about topics ranging from people and places to news events -- anything you might find on Wikipedia, About.com, etc. But instead of paying "guides" up front to make pages, anyone with a Mahalo account will be able to make a page. And if you "claim" a page and vow to keep it up to date, Mahalo will split the ad revenue from that page with you 50/50. (Don't get too excited! It's just Google Ads.)
The idea is to get a lot more pages onto Mahalo -- and indexed, searchable via Google -- for cheaper. (New pages include text, links, graphics, maps, video, Twitter feeds, etc.)
At the beginning, Mahalo was spending around $100 to get a page made by a smart human. Then it got closer to $15. That's helped Mahalo get 100,000 topic pages up in two years. But now Mahalo will be able to get pages made for free, and will only have to pay contributors if Mahalo itself gets paid -- when the pages get traffic and ad revenue.
The change in business model also comes with major changes to Mahalo's back-end. Instead of running off Wiki software, Mahalo will be running on its own custom content management system. The goal is to make it easier for contributors to create and modify pages via easy drag-and-drop controls instead of the wiki code they had to learn before. That should lower the barrier to entry for page-makers, and will also allow Mahalo to get more pages made, faster. (And, again, cheaper.)
Mahalo 2.0 will also tie into Mahalo Answers, the Q&A service that Mahalo rolled out last December. Since then, Mahalo has fielded 59,000 questions and 107,000 answers, serving up 3.9 million pageviews to 2.9 million unique visitors. (More broadly, Mahalo attracted 5.6 million unique visitors last month.) Not bad, and successful enough that Mahalo is talking with companies about white-labeling the Answers service. (For instance, JetBlue could host a travel-related Q&A site, where contributors won points toward flight credits, etc.)
Will Mahalo 2.0 work? One trend in Jason's favor is the growing number of intelligent people -- including many journalists -- who are out of work, are good writers, and fairly competent with computers. The plan to only allow one person to "claim" a page at a time -- unlike Wikipedia, where anyone can edit -- could be good or bad, though. In theory, it gives one person an incentive to make the page as good as possible. But if that person is a dud, and makes lame/boring pages, it's to Mahalo's disadvantage. (There will be some policing, but mostly for failing to keep a page up to date or making significant writing/content errors.)
As for making money: While new members will only be able to start off "claiming" two pages at a time, that can add up over time. And while the average page makes about $20-50 per year, big hits can make thousands of dollars per year. So freelancers, secretaries, retirees, or bored people could potentially earn tens or hundreds of extra dollars a month by spending a few hours a week updating their pages.

Cave Warrior Tom Lee goes into battle with Nik Filters, including Silver Efex Pro 2
This is the latest version of Silver Efex Pro and it is fully compatible with 64-bit operation. Silver Efex Pro (SEP from now on!) simplifies the conversion from a colour image into monochrome. It relies on an accurately calibrated screen because most of the judgements are subjectively controlled either with pre-sets or by manipulation of sliders. It is also fully compatible with Nik Filters' U-point Technology for finer control of the placement of effects within an image. It was because of the complexity of using the program well that we turned to Tom Lee for our opening image; Tom is a regular and enthusiastic user of SEP. But first let's look at the mechanics of the interface.
The tonal manipulation of an image is divided into five main panels. On the left there are 38 pre-set effects which may be simplified into 'modern', 'classic' or 'vintage' and are typified by contrast variations, colour tone and such vintage effects as Antique Plate. Many users will need to venture no further than this tool set. In theory you should be able to build an SEP filter into an action set - we were unable to do so.
The program took a little short of 10s to process a 30MB, 8-bit RGB file using a standard pre-set.
The first panel on the right is the Global Adjustments which includes Brightness, Contrast and Structure as sliders, along with Shadow and Highlight protection sliders. Structure seeks the edges of objects within an image and protects those edges when increasing the contrast within an object.
The second panel, Selective Adjustment, allows for the placing of Control Points, using U-Point technology, which applies any tonal changes in a smooth manner. It is a wellregarded technology.
The third panel is for colour filtration which applies the effect of red, orange, yellow, green or blue filters in the oldfashioned (ie monochrome complementary) way. There is an additional slider for the strength and hue of the filter, effectively making it infinitely flexible
The fourth panel is called Film Type and lists 18 possible mimics of silver-gelatine film types including such evocative names as Tri-X and Pan F. This reviewer is a little sceptical about these, as the films were inherently very variable depending upon developer and development conditions. Despite this you seem to get a reasonable mimic of film grain with relative ease. You can even set up your own preferences, spring-boarding off the Levels and Curves dialogue of a given starter pre-set.
The final panel, Finishing Adjustments, provides 25 pre-set tone colours (eg cyanotype, copper, selenium, Ambrotype), however, from within Toning you can also apply a level of control to the hue of the silver and the base-paper tone colour. It's a very subtle refinement. Vignetting and Edge Burning may also be applied and finally there are 14 Edge Borders applying treatments such as key lines, drop shadows and various ragged edge effects.
Overall then, there is a wealth of adjustments to go at and it is not surprising that both beginners and Photoshop experts all seem to like the product - Tom Lee, of course is a real fan, frequently egged on by Podge Kelly, Nik's ambassador in Eire.
There are 216 days to get ready for The Societies of Photographers Convention and Trade Show at The Novotel London West, Hammersmith ...
which starts on Wednesday 17th March 2021

Angry, shaking and nearly in tears I grabbed my dressing gown and phone and headed downstairs to spend the night on the sofa. I couldn't bear to stay in the same bed. It was too much, enough was enough. That was the night before last and the person I was escaping from was small, wild haired and very uncute right at that moment. Let me tell you that "Booooob" "Mum-mum" "Boob" followed by pinching, scrabbling and the odd foot in the belly are not in the gentleman's guide to persuading your fellows to come around to your point of view. Equally, they are not in the mum&baby guide to maintaining an harmonious family life when your parents are working long days and need to sleep.
So there I was, downstairs and unhappy. Kicked out of my own bed by my darling offspring. I spent most of the following day unhappy, dreading going home because I'd be straight back into the no-sleep torture chamber. Then it came to me…I could choose to sleep in a different room from the start. My other half could look after our sleep thief and I could escape.
Queue that evening, I unfurled the sofa bed hopped on in. Aaaaaaahhhhh. It was like I'd gone on a dream holiday. Ok the accommodation was a dive (walls unfinished, no curtains, paint tins on the floor) but to me it was heaven. I didn't care that the full moon was beaming through so brightly that it woke me up several times during the night, because they were natural wakings. I think if I count on my fingers and toes the number of times I've woken up naturally in the past 15 months I'd have plenty of digits left.
And where am I tonight you ask? Back with my husband and baby because I missed them so much? Don't be silly. I'm in the other room.

So, by now you think you know everything about my hair.. am I right??!
You pretty much do, I will admit!
I am a hair-o-holic, I love changing it and trying new things.
and I'm pretty impressed with how much my hair has grown over the last year!
How much does your hair grow??
I googled it and I think I'm on the pretty decent side of growth.
There are so many factors that can change it, but hair growth can be a daunting task so I wanted to keep my hair as healthy as possible to grow that baby out!

How much does your hair grow??
I googled it and I think I'm on the pretty decent side of growth.
There are so many factors that can change it, but hair growth can be a daunting task so I wanted to keep my hair as healthy as possible to grow that baby out!
This is one year of growth!
I had some very short layers in that little bob so I'm impressed my long lob has turned out as good as it has!
I've had regular trims and colours all year long, as well as having had tape in hair extensions attached 50% of the time!
Tape in extensions can take a toll as well, you really have to be hair savvy and diligent if you plan on getting tape ins, they're not for the care free hair girl/guy.
I've heard some horror stories about people who have had tape ins and then all their hair breaks off at the tape or they lose a large percentage of hair after removal.
This should not happen, but anything is possible.
I also noticed this story came from someone who looked as if they had been box dying BLACK for quite a while..I'm not a stylist nor scientist, so I shouldn't place blame but I am so obsessed with healthy hair and if you are box dying, please HYDRATE, HYDRATE, HYDRATE.
I want to say skip Tim Hortons and save those twoonies for salon visits but as a couponer, I know salons are hard on the wallet and not everyone wants to invest in that area. so that's fine, but girl get a hair mask, leave in conditioner or coconut oil it up!
this is about the product I added recently that has made a difference!
You know this is me:
Wet Brush - best brush imo.
it's better than my specialty brush for tape in extensions and it's a must have for kids!
Hair Mask - Love the Morroccan oil, been using the L'oreal (below) and like.
Also referred to me recently Redken extreme repair mask, I think I will try this next because I've recently revived my love for Redken and forgot what a classic it is!
Hair Oil: Moroccan, Hask or coconut.. users choice!
But my most recent add on is the.... Bumble and Bumble, Repair Blow dry.
serum/cream... ?? It's like a cream lotion IMO.
This is a sample I received forever ago! I never take sample hair products seriously because they're so small I always think it's not enough to get the full effect.
but with this one I was wrong!
which is why I recommend the smaller 2oz bottle ($17) if you are thinking about purchasing, because this sample .5oz has lasted me MONTHS! and I use on the daily!
so at first I used and used this and I didn't see a difference, it's a funny product because it doesn't really change anything noticeable to the naked eye.. at first...
It's a really light product, won't weigh you down (use small dime size amount, focused mainly on mid to ends) and it only adds a small shine.
So after a week, I said on IG stories I didn't think it was for me!
I like to see immediate results and I hate adding another product if I can't see it working immediately.
But since I had the sample I decided to use it to empty and the funniest thing happened...
I started to notice a difference!
as healthy as my hair is I have always had minor breakage around my neck, I'm a pony tail girl and I remember as early as 6th grade having a layer of shoulder length hairs that hung at the base of my neck.
the hair elastics broke them and no matter the product I used over the years, these baby hairs just broke and had to be bobby pinned.
All of a sudden about a month or two into the Repair blow dry I noticed I didn't have ANY broken hairs anymore.. my hair felt thicker and stronger.
I can honestly roll my hair into a bun and tie the ends under each other so its a LITERAL 'top knot'
*I don't recommend tying knots in your hair... lol
but I am guilty of doing this to wash my face when there's not a hair elastic around (it doesn't stay long term but the knot holds long enough for me to wash my face then magically falls out like one of those bun falling mesmerising videos lol)
so that's my newest hair healer!
I'm going to pick up a full size (smaller one lol) when this is up but I checked with my Sephora insiders and they said ask for a sample in store so you can try it before you buy it!
I will probably stock up on samples too, I spend enough at that store and recommend enough products, they owe me ;)
in other news.. do I cut my hair SHORT like the above photos or do I grow, grow, grow like this photo???
I don't know what to dooooOoooo!
I am SO torn!
the super short is easier to dry and style but the bed head doesn't look that cute so you have to commit to washing more often.
the long is such a pain to dry and style but the integrity lasts longer so you can get more days in without a re-wash, plus cute BUNS!

There on the road to Damascus Saul met the resurrected Christ. He had heard about Jesus and His earthly service. As most Pharisees He believed Jesus was an imposter. Vehemently Saul persecuted those following the way. Even though Saul most likely hadn't met Jesus he knew him according to the flesh. How he perceived Jesus and His ministry was merely one-dimensional, and Saul hadn't much regard for this in many ways ordinary person's claims of being the savior of the world.
The only way to know the resurrected Christ is by becoming blind to knowing Jesus only after the flesh. Blind to the earthly realities Saul's inner eyes were opened to grasp the enormity of the cross. In his blindness he could acquaint the invisible Christ. The Saul whose whole life had been engrossed in the outer things became Paul who led a life from inner realities. Fixed in the inner realities of the spiritual world he regained his vision so that he could influence the outer world.
The loss of sight also denotes our utter helplessness in our encounter with Christ. We have nothing to offer except our lives through which He can reach out to a world that believe it is seeing, but is truly blind. Until we have become blind to the outer world we have no proper vision. It is when we become blind that we become seers. As seers we recognize our nothingness and His superior abilities to live the life we all are created to be partakers of.
At the Damascus road we all get our new name. The name that has been a part of our self consciousness to this point is declared void and of no effect when we meet Christ. Our new name comes into effect when we are baptized into Christ. It severed our strings to the past and all those old lies which have kept us in bondage and without hope in this world. It denotes a completely new direction, and it accentuates our new standing as new creations with hope for the future.
When Saul encountered Jesus a light from heaven flashed around him. The Spirit opens our eyes so that we are enabled to see Jesus in a new light. Seeing Jesus merely after the flesh causes us to want to emulate His deeds and attitudes without acknowledging the Spirit dimension of His life. He is both flesh and spirit, and so are we; flesh made perfect by the Spirit. Flesh is spirit manifested and that is our glory.

MORRIS – Fans of "Star Wars" have created their own holiday on May 4 as a way to celebrate the intergalactic saga of good versus evil.
On Sunday, members of Chicago Jedi, a local group of fans, participated in the celebration at the Morris Area Public Library, teaching those in attendance how to use their lightsabers during a May the Fourth Be With You event, a play on the phrase, "May The Force be with you," often spoken in the "Star Wars" films.
"We started in 2006 as a group of people inspired by the Jedi knights," Gabriel Calderon said. "We thought, wouldn't it be cool if we were like them?"
In the "Star Wars" universe, Jedi are guardians who use The Force – described in the films as an energy field created by all living things that binds the galaxy together – to fight for peace and justice in the Galactic Republic.
Chicago Jedi strive to "walk the path of the Jedi in our real lives. We're not just 'Star Wars' fans, but people who see a core of truth in its philosophy that is worth bringing into the world," according to the group's website.
The group is not made up of just "Star Wars" fans, though: Members come from all walks of life who want to experience the world as it should be, according to Calderon.
"There are costuming groups out there who just wear the costumes and perform," Ross Greenberg said. "We are more like a martial arts group. It's a mind, body and spirit thing. We take ideas from 'Star Wars' Jedi and integrate them into our lives."
Not all present were channeling The Force for good like the Jedi. Eight-year-old Teddy Morrison of Morris came to the event dressed as Darth Vader, who is considered a villain in many of the films.
"Darth Vader is my favorite," Morrison said. "He can choke anyone."
Morrison wasn't the only Darth Vader fan in attendance. Griffin Benson, 5, of Plainfield, came with his brother, Max, and his grandparents and said he likes "Darth Vader because he's awesome. I have 'Star Wars' Legos that I play with."
Regardless of which way they used The Force, those who attended the library's event were able to undergo classes to teach them some of the basic moves used in lightsaber battles.
Don and Amber Sharp of Ottawa brought their children because they love the "Star Wars" saga.
"We did it as a surprise for the kids, they've seen all six movies," Amber Sharp said. "I've seen them so much I have parts memorized."
Rose Nowak, the library's teen coordinator, said she has worked for the past year on organizing the event.
"I started working on this a year ago. I wanted to have the 501st Legion – the bad guys – here, but they weren't available," Nowak said. "I began researching and found the Chicago Jedi and saw that they do lightsaber training, and I thought it would be cool to have them come."
Adam Mahalas of Morris brought his children because they aren't just into "Star Wars" but also the library. His oldest son goes to Anime Club also led by Nowak.
"It sounded really cool," said Anna Allison, an employee of the library who came in to volunteer her time. "I hope the patrons enjoy it as much as we do."
In addition to the lightsaber training performed by the Chicago Jedi, those in attendance also participated in "Star Wars" bingo and got to smash apart a Death Star pinata filled with candy to take home.
Chicago Jedi strives to: "Provide encouragement and opportunities for the spiritual, physical, and mental improvement of our members. Support and assist the local community through fundraising and donation of time. Promote a sense of community, continuity, and involvement within our Chapter and the larger Jedi community. Educate others as to what it means to be a Jedi in the real world."

Gunn to Attend "Knuckle" Movie Premier!
Hackensack, NJ (September 25, 2011) – Former IBA world cruiserweight champion Bobby "The Celtic Warrior" Gunn will make a special guest appearance at the premier party of "Knuckle" Friday, September 30 at the Irish Film Festival in New York City.
Gunn, who battled Tomasz Adamek and Enzo Maccarinelli, is globally recognized in the fight game for competing in both professional boxing matches along with organized bare knuckle fights. Gunn, a colorful Canadian based in New Jersey, was personally invited to the event by bare knuckle fighting legend and future opponent James Quinn.
"It's a great honor to attend the premier," said Gunn, who recently knocked out Richard Stewart in America's first sanctioned bare knuckle bout in more then 120 years. "A lot of Hollywood stars are confirmed guests, so to be sitting amongst them while they watch the movie will be incomparable to anything I've ever done."
The film's director is Ian Palmer and a mini-series on Irish bare knuckle fighting directed by Eastbound and Down star Danny McBride will air on HBO in the near future.
Gunn is currently working out the details for a 2012 fight against the aforementioned Quinn.
