Portsmouth Black Heritage Trail Names Lecture Series to Honor Former Nashua Resident, Elinor Williams Hooker
PORTSMOUTH — The Portsmouth Black Heritage Trail is proud to announce the naming of its "Winter Tea Talk" lecture series, now in its second year, to honor Nashua resident and social activist Elinor Williams Hooker.
The Elinor Williams Hooker Winter Tea Talks is a series of participatory lectures related to New Hampshire's Black history and African American culture. Lectures are held on the second and fourth Sundays of the month beginning on February 2, from 2 – 4 pm, at Discover Portsmouth, 10 Middle St. Portsmouth. Two additional talks will be presented in February in honor of Black history month.
Elinor W. Hooker (July 10, 1933 -January 27, 2012), a long time New Hampshire resident and activist, was born July 10, 1933 in Pittsburgh, PA, daughter of the late Dr. Ulysses Williams and Louise G. Williams. The family's Pittsburgh home was near Wylie Avenue an active community of black businesses, jazz music and churches, a location that would shape her lifelong interest in multicultural activities.
Hooker was a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University where she majored in French and English. She taught English in Junior and Senior High Schools in Pittsburgh and Harrisburg, PA, Brockton and Quincy, MA and Concord, NH and served as a tutor in the English as a Second Language Program at Nashua's Pennichuck Junior High.
As a community activist, she volunteered with several groups including the Nashua Multicultural Committee and served as scholarship chairperson and assistant treasurer for the New Hampshire Outreach for Black Unity. During her tenure she chaired art exhibits by black artists and black performing artists. Elinor was a strong advocate of cultural diversity and teaching tolerance in schools based on the programs developed by The Southern Poverty Law Center.
Hooker was the wife of Thomas L. Hooker, who served from 1966 to 1974 as director of the New Hampshire Division of Welfare. Shortly after moving to New Hampshire in 1966, Elinor and husband Tom became aware of Valerie Cunningham's research on the history of blacks in New Hampshire. Both became supporters of PBHT and were interested in its growth.

Welcome to
Weston Hills C of E
Primary School
Learning for life in a community that cares.
Faith Hope Love
Week 6
This week in our topic the children were so interested learning about the life cycle of a frog that we continued our learning this week. Mrs Upsall showed us some frog spawn and tadpoles and there were even some other bugs and creatures in the pond water!
In Literacy the children independently wrote information about butterflies. Reception completed concertina books about The Hungry Caterpillar.
In Numeracy the children made amounts of money using their knowledge of counting in 10s. We also solved word problems practically.
Week 5
This week in our topic we learnt about the life cycle of a butterfly and a frog. The children were fascinated and drew their own versions of the lifecycles. In Science the children identified local trees and plants and discussed deciduous and evergreen trees.
In Literacy the children wrote their own versions of the Hungry Caterpillar. The caterpillar ate an array of different food from bananas to hot dogs! It was lovely to hear the children's imaginative ideas and Reception tried hard to use Phonics to spell.
In Numeracy the children practised counting in 10s from any number. We used fingers, numicon, cubes and 100 squares so we could notice a pattern.
Week 4
This week in our topic the children went on a bug hunt. They enjoyed finding the different habitats that the bugs live in and took photos to record; we learnt lots of information about different bugs. In Literacy the children listened to the story The Hungry Caterpillar. They recalled the days of the week and we discussed what the Caterpillar ate each day. In Numeracy the children used money to pay for bus tickets. We added 2 amounts together and used 1ps to pay. Year 1 explored giving change from 5p.
Week 3
This week we have been continuing with Space Week. The children wrote information about the sun and continued with their rocket making. The children thoroughly enjoyed presenting their information to parents and the whole school. In Literacy the children listened to the story Whatever Next and wrote a list of food that bear would take to a space picnic. In Numeracy the children learnt about positional language and continued counting in 2s.
Week 2
This week has been space week! We visited a Planetarium which looked at different planets and the stars the children were amazed! Our focus has been the sun and Neil Armstrong, we can't wait to show you our findings in our whole school assembly next week!
A big thank you to the parents who provided us with different boxes, tubes, bottles etc to make our space rockets. The children drew pictures of their rockets and followed their plans to produce their rockets.
Week 1
This week in Cherry Class we have been discussing what the children did during the Easter holidays. Year 1 wrote a recount of their holidays and Reception drew a picture and wrote accompanying words or sentences.
In Phonics Reception learnt the sounds ar and or and we also recapped previously learnt high frequency words. Year 1 recapped the sounds wh and ph and applied this into their reading.
In Numeracy the children the children explored doubling and counting in 2s. We had great fun putting socks on a washing line and counting the pairs in 2s. We also looked at ladybirds and dominoes to help us understand doubling.
In our topic we labelled pictures of flowers and also planted seeds and drew observational drawings of flowers. It has been a lovely first week back!

AI-driven recruiting software enables matching of the best fit candidate to any company and role
AnyMind Group, an organization that aims to transform industries through artificial intelligence, has announced today the launch of TalentMind, a new business unit with a proprietary AI-driven recruiting software that streamlines and enhances the recruitment and hiring process. Human resource professionals can tap on natural language processing (NLP), profile analysis and machine learning to screen, analyze and match prospects to businesses.
The integrated platform will be launched across four phases:
After a prospect registers for a profile on the TalentMind platform, recruiters and human resource professionals are able to utilize data from the prospect's social media platforms and résumé to better understand the person's behavioral and personality traits, role competency and skills.
Leveraging on learning algorithms, a human resource professional can develop customized hiring models that are optimized in real-time, based on candidate pick up and acceptance rate, existing company culture and core competencies of high-performing staff within the organization. The AI engine will be further enhanced under the supervision of newly appointed advisor to AnyMind Group, Masayasu Morita, CEO, Founder and President of Hitomedia, inc.
These hiring models will also be used to match candidates to organizations, allowing companies to find the candidate who best fits with hiring requirements and organizational culture.
Kosuke Sogo, CEO and co-founder of AnyMind Group said: "We scaled our headcount very quickly the past 20 months and found areas in the hiring process that could have been optimized. Our human resource team has now integrated TalentMind into their workflow and have used the platform to bring in an additional team for this expanded vertical."
The TalentMind Platform is powered by a similar AI-driven matching engine that is being used by sister company, CastingAsia, for influencer marketing.
"We are already utilising our AI engines to drive the matching of social media influencers to brands and are now scaling it into the human resource industry. Ultimately, we want to enable professionals to make smarter decisions with a suite of AI-driven solutions across business lines," said Sogo.

According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) itself, the IRS has more than $900,000,000 in unclaimed tax refunds—and that is just for refunds related to a single tax year! How does that happen? Unclaimed refunds are primarily caused by one or both of the following situations:
- A taxpayer has taxes withheld from his or her paycheck, but has income less than the amount necessary to require an income tax return to be filed. The taxpayer chooses not to file, and thereby gives up the ability to get his federal withholding back. (Keep in mind that the amount of a tax refund might even exceed the amount paid via tax withholding if you are eligible for Earned Income Tax Credit.)
- The taxpayer filed a tax return and a check was mailed but, for some reason, mail delivery was not completed. This could be due to a bad address or a bad day by your postal carrier. Other possibilities include your name change, your divorce, or your decision to move.
While there's no penalty for failing to claim a refund owed to you, there is a time limit as to how long you can wait before you ask for your money by filing a tax return.
For returns which have not been filed, you typically have three years from when the return was originally due.
So, you must file your 2011 return by April 15, 2014 to salvage your tax refund for that year. Plus, to state the obvious, this is your money we're talking about, so even if your income is less than the IRS income threshold you should still file your taxes if you:
- Had federal taxes withheld
- Qualify for refundable tax credits like Earned Income Tax Credit
How Can You Avoid an Unclaimed Refund?
One easy way to avoid an unclaimed refund is to always timely file your tax returns. While filing a 2013 tax return now in order to get your refund will start the process of getting your money, if you failed to file the more recent 2011 and 2012 returns, your refund will likely be held up. So, get caught up and stay caught up.
Another way to make sure that you don't miss out on your tax refund is to avoid a misdelivered refund check and receive your tax refund via direct deposit. You can do so right within your tax return. Not only is a tax refund safer and easier with direct deposit, but it's also faster than a paper check.
With an increasing amount of money at stake, and an increasing amount unclaimed, it has never been more important to file your tax return each year even if you earn low income.

The Tuscon shooting: We must place blame where it belongs
by Andy Ostroy
January 10, 2011
It's been quite disconcerting to see how lamely the mainstream news media has been handling the aftermath of the tragic shooting spree in Tuscon Saturday which killed six people (including a 9-year-old girl) and wounded fourteen others, including Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords(D). There are those, like me, who seek to place the blame squarely where it's deserved: on the backs of right-wing hate-mongering radicals like Sarah Palin, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. But there's a growing politically-correct chorus of "let's not blame" hitting the airwaves that is both shocking and extremely disappointing.
During his press conference following the shootings, Pima County Sheriff Charles Dupnik, the 75-year-old lawman with balls as big as they come, attributed the violence to "the vitriolic rhetoric that we hear day in and day out from people in the radio business and some people in the TV business." He went even further and criticized his state's aggressive anti-immigration fervor: "The bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous. And unfortunately, Arizona, I think, has become sort of the capital. We have become the mecca for prejudice and bigotry."
Kudos to Dupnik for being a true American hero who said what so desperately needed to be said. Saturday's violence must be a much-needed wake-up call for America. The inflammatory rhetoric that's risen to dangerously heightened levels by conservative politicians and talk show hosts has to stop. Was it not just a matter of time before violence like this occurred? Why shouldn't we place blame where it's so obviously deserved?
Can we not blame Glenn Beck for his constant hateful rhetoric against the Obama Administration and Democrats, who he accuses of subverting the Constitution and the rights of "god-fearing Americans?" For "calling for a revolution?" For recklessly joking about "killing Michael Moore?" Or what about Bill O'Reilly, who incited his listeners by relentlessly referring to Kansas doctor George Tiller as "Tiller the baby killer" in the months leading up to his murder? Or Sean Hannity, who so disrespectfully and disdainfully refers to President Obama, who was elected by a majority of voters, as "the anointed one?" And in the most reprehensible, dangerous display of this vitriol, what about Sarah Palin's hit list last March which targeted Rep. Giffords and nineteen others, using cross hairs to mark the districts of these Democrats she was taking political aim at over health care reform? Or how she irresponsibly encouraged her followers "don't retreat, just reload."
Giffords herself offered this chilling warning after Palin's hit list appeared: "We're on Sarah Palin's targeted list. But the thing is the way that she has it depicted has the cross hairs of a gun sight over our district. When people do that, they've got to realize there's consequences to that."
Is it not fair or accurate then to connect the dots to these reckless rabble-rousers and put the blood of the Tuscon victims on their hands? Given the political rantings on his website and in YouTube videos, are we to be so naive as to think that 22-year-old mass murderer Jared Loughner, who took his glock to that supermarket parking lot with the clear intent to assassinate Giffords, was not at all influenced by this steady stream of hate-speak from Palin, Hannity, Limbaugh, Beck, O'Reilly and others? Or worse, have we become so dominated by political correctness that we fail so miserably to directly place blame where it so rightfully lies?
If we simply sit back and pretend that Loughner was nothing more than a deranged young man with no political influences or motivations, then we are sticking our collective heads in the sand and allowing for future violence. If we don't demand an end to the inflammatory rhetoric and the use of code language and images describing and depicting weapons and acts of violence, when demonizing those we disagree with, then Giffords will surely not be the last victim.
We also need to stop all the pretending that this dangerous behavior is as pervasive on the left as it is among right-wingers. To lump everyone into the same bucket of guilt is to ignore the root cause of these despicable acts and demand responsibility from those who perpetrate them. The truth is, it is not liberals who blow up buildings, crash airplanes into them, kill people, threaten violence, step on women's heads, question our president's citizenship, or use bulls-eyes and cross hairs to punctuate their opposition and rile the masses.

31 August 2016
Fashion is ever-changing, and generally we've reached a point where people aren't judged for the clothes they wear, and instead we celebrate unique and individual fashion choices.
That being said, it has been a long journey to this point, and this week we wanted to celebrate some of the biggest fashion moments of the last 100 years, just to show how far fashion has come. Our list (which we'll separate into two parts) includes the empowering, and the quirky, but never the dull. We may not realise how much we owe to what has come before us.
After World War 1, women's fashion in general became a lot more androgynous, mainly due to women filling in typically male roles while men were off fighting in the war; as such, the early 20th century saw leaps and bounds for women's rights movements.
One of the earliest examples of women proving they could do anything as well as men was in the 1930 film Morocco, in which Marlene Dietrich, playing the role of Amy Jolly, donned a three-piece suite, black polished shoes, a top hat and a cigarette in hand. She perfectly wore an outfit that, up until that point, had been considered completely male – proving that clothing knows no gender boundaries.
When you hear the name Marilyn Monroe, chances are the first thing you think of is her standing over a subway grate, trying to keep her white dress from blowing over her head.
This iconic moment comes from the Billy Wilder film The Seven Year Itch, and it's endured so well because of how fun and flirty it is, something a lot of people think of when they think of Marilyn Monroe, and the dress plays a huge role in how people mentally visualise the image; it's as famous as the pose.
One of the most iconic fashion moments of all time has to be Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's, especially with her oversized cigarette holder and her hair in a chignon. It is especially well known for popularising the Little Black Dress, the item of clothing designed by Givenchy that Audrey Hepburn wears at the beginning of the movie.
It's true that little black dresses were popular before 1961, especially as it was designed by Coco Chanel and published in an issue of Vogue, but it would be difficult to find many who would disagree that Audrey Hepburn made it seem possible that the level of elegance she displayed in the film was attainable by anyone.
It is unbelievable to think that the bikini was first showcased in a Paris fashion show in 1946, afterwards it spent a couple of decades as a relatively taboo item of clothing, that is, of course, until the iconic beach scene in Dr No.
The scene sees Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder dressed in a white two-piece bikini with an army belt and clutching a large knife emerging from the sea (a scene that has now become a trope in James Bond films). This was such an important moment because it came at the beginning of the birth of sexual revolution in the 1960s; women were taking more control over their own bodies and their outfits they were wearing, and the scene led to bikini and two-piece sales skyrocketing!
If you remember the wedding of Lady Diana Spencer to Charles, Prince of Wales, there are probably three words going through your head: 25-foot train. Often considered one of the most closely guarded secrets of all time, Princess Diana's wedding dress is now one of the most iconic wedding dresses ever.
The dress was designed by David and Elizabeth Emanuel and set the trend for wedding dresses that came after including large puffed sleeves and full skirts. It's strange to think that they would have gone with a back-up dress if the one worn had been revealed before the wedding!

The George J. Stigler Center for the Study of the Economy and the State is dedicated to understanding the interaction between politics and the economy. It is an intellectual destination for research on regulatory capture, crony capitalism, and the various forms of subversion of competition by special interest groups.
To carry out its mission, the George J. Stigler Center supports research by faculty at the University of Chicago and visiting scholars from other academic institutions. The Stigler Center publishes working papers, and promotes the dissemination of this research to a wider audience via conferences and lectures.
Examples of research conducted by the Stigler Center include:
George J. Stigler joined the faculty of the Booth School of Business and the Department of Economics at the University of Chicago in 1958. This event, and the arrival two years later of Merton Miller, is widely recognized in establishing the business school as a world leader in academic research, as well as making it a full partner in an extraordinarily fruitful cooperative research enterprise with the University's Department of Economics and Law School.
Stigler was one of the great economists of the 20th century. He made seminal contributions to the economic theory of information and oligopoly, and to the economic analysis of government regulation and the public sector. Stigler received the profession's highest honors, including the presidency of the American Economic Association and a Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. His 1982 Nobel Prize was the first awarded to an economist whose primary appointment was in a business school.

The teoretical part provides the basis of graph theory and matrix algebra mainly focusing on sparse matrices and options of their presentation witch takes into account the number of nonzero elements in the matrix. The thesis includes presentation of possible operations on sparse matrices and algorithms that basically work on graphs, but with help of duality between graph and his adjacency matrix can be presented with sequence of operations on matrices. Practical part presents implementation of some algorithms that can work both with graphs or their adjacency matrices in programming language Java and testing algorithms that work with matrices. It focuses on comparison in efficiency of algorithm working with matrix written in standard mode and with matrix written in format for sparse matrices. It also studies witch presentation of matrices works beter for witch algorithm.

Got My New Cool Racerbacks - Some Comments
I did not get a chance to go to the stores today but I will have an opportunity tomorrow.
15 comments:
I have a Bold Blue WWA and Wish Blue Wunder Groove Crops, Flow Y Bra, Define Jacket and CRB (the regular kind) and they're definitely different colors, but maybe that's because the WWA is french terry and the rest are Luon. Bold Blue looks like a blurple/hyacinth shade on my WWA and Wish Blue is an almost royal blue on all the things I have it in.
My guess is that the circle mesh material toned down the color of the Wish Blue and made it more muted than it usually is. But that's just a guess since I haven't seen the Wish mesh CRB in person. :)
And I found the Static Lolo CRB to fit the same as other colors when I tried it on in store or maybe even a teeny tiny bit more snug. Maybe you got an off one? Or I did.

My Wish Blue circle mesh CRB will arrive tomorrow. I do have a bold blue CRB & Power Y tank. I compared it to the only other wish blue top I have the IJWR. The luon tanks look just a tiny bit more purplish but not by much. If you didn't know the colors were different you probably wouldn't even notice it.
I bought my Static Lolo Purple earlier this week in my standard size. I just compared it to my regular CRB's and it's about a 1/2 wider on the side. It's not too lose at all. I just got back from my local store (I was trying on the static grey CRB) to see if I liked it. They didn't have my size so she grabbed a 4, usually I'm a 6. I thought it was going to be really tight but it wasn't. I could have bought that size but I didn't like the grey as much as lolo and oasis.

Huh...I guess I tried a fluke Static Lolo CRB that was on the TTS to snug side, then. Wouldn't be the first time I'd come across a piece that fit differently than was typical for that size. One more reason to shop in store when possible.

It always pays try on different colors in the same style. I've found different colors sometimes fit diffrently.

I LOVE my black mesh cool racerback. I love the tighter fit because the regular ones are a little too big on me. If I didn't own so many non mesh I would buy more...

I have a bold blue run pullover and a wish blue define jacket. When I hung the new define jacket in my closet next to the bold blue, I thought the same thing...identical!
- August 13, 2010 at 7:39 PM
A friend and I both happened to wear our CRBs (mine bold blue and hers wish) on the same day and stood there like fools comparing the colors. The bold blue defintely has more of a purple tinge, but they are so close that most non-luluholics would probably just assume they were the same color ;)
- August 13, 2010 at 9:44 PM
Did you size up for your circle mesh CRB? I'm usually a 2 in the regular CRB so I was wondering if I should size up for the circle mesh CRB.
@Holly Do you think the bold blue of your WWA is faded. I compared the color of my WWA with bold blue luon and I thought the color on the WWA looked like a pale purple (like if the color is fading).

@ Audie - The only where I really notice the mesh CRB is snugger is through the belly. That is where the regular CRB feels more roomy. Circle mesh just isn't as stretchy as regular luon. I notice this in my luxtreme crops that have circle mesh behind the knee - the leg opening feels tighter at that spot.
I wear a 12 so I don't have the option of sizing up. However, I think I am going to size down in the static lolo CRB - the one I have is too loose.

I have a bold blue CRB and wish blue define and find that the bold blue looks a tad lighter/faded. Not sure if it's faded from washing or what.

My static CRBs fit the same as my regular luon ones (if anything perhaps just a teeeeeeeny bit snugger). I think you might have gotten a mis-sized one. Once I tried on a CRB in store in my usual size and it was REALLY big - then tried on the same color just another one and it fit like it usually does so I think the first one was an 8 tagged as a 6. Wish and Bold Blue are definately different but I'm sure the shades change slightly from fabric to fabric so perhaps in two different fabrics they can look the same because they are, indeed, close.
- August 14, 2010 at 4:25 AM
@ Audie: Definitely not faded. It's brand new with the tags still. I think it's just the difference in fabric since some colors lose their vibrancy in certain materials (like Silverescent toning down Alarming).
- August 14, 2010 at 8:56 AM
I just bought the static CRB and LOVE it! I laid it on top of my other CRB and armpit to armpit is same measure but the body is about half inch narrower and about 1 inch shorter...sounds like you may have gotten a flukey one...
- August 14, 2010 at 1:31 PM
My static lolo is also a tad snugger than my other CRBs.
- August 14, 2010 at 6:23 PM
Agree with earlier commenters - my static lolo CRB is a bit more snug than my regular CRBs. I still think it's super cute and it still fits, but it seems to have a slightly different cut.

A few days ago my boyfriend, Kevin Walker, and I went and saw Ridley Scott's new film: Prometheus. The plot of the movie is a prequel to Alien, also by Ridley Scott. I was looking forward to the movie, mainly because of Scotts other film Blade Runner, and how its filmed and executed. The grungy scenes and shots really set the mood, and Prometheus was the same.
I don't want to give too much away, but the basic plot is a spaceship of 17 humans, and one robot humanoid, are flying through space in hopes of making contact with an alien race that they believe created humans on earth thousands of years ago. The movie then goes on to how their interactions of the crew members, planet life, etc. affects the outcome of the human race.
The end of the film leads into Alien, which was great to see. (So if you go to the movie, stay till the very end for that glimpse!)
The shots from the movie show off the amazing makeup, prosthetics and special effects!
xoxo, Lucie Jane

Wild, wild horses — right in Moffat County's backyard
Craig — Wild horses hold a majestic, Wild West-like quality.
When most think about a wild horse, an open frontier with thousands of rolling acres in the Old West appears, and a cowboy trying to tame an unruly beast or a Native American capturing an equine for its tribe comes to mind.
The amazing aspect of wild horses is that they still exist right here in Moffat County, giving spectators who visit their habitat at the Sand Wash Basin an opportunity to experience the heart of the American West.
To see the magnificent equines, all you have to do is take a short 45-minute drive west of Craig on U.S. Highway 40, turn right onto Moffat County Road 67 and continue until you see the Sand Wash Basin sign.
If you're lucky, you'll see one — if not several — of the 406 wild horses that live on the 160,000 acres of property maintained by Bureau of Land Management. The horses are fascinating, colorful and simply breathtaking.
"They're beautiful, they're high in color and you can see them pretty easily," said Wendy Reynolds, field manager at the BLM Little Snake Field office in Craig. "What makes it so unique is the markings and the colors of this particular herd."
The Sand Wash Basin and its horses have become a huge tourism attraction for the county — an alluring treat for those who crave a taste of an untainted part of Colorado.
Foaling season and stallion fights
Spring is foaling season, making it a perfect time to see mares and their newborn horses roaming their natural surroundings in the high desert plains of Northwest Colorado.
The foals are small, fuzzy and sensational. Most who visit the Sand Wash Basin this time of year are able to see the young horses with their parents.
It's also sparring season for the stallions that fight one another to either keep their bands together or steal another horse's band along with its mares. Many of the males have bands — a family of horses — which they mate with each year.
But bachelor horses also exist, and each year, they fight with the stallions to take over their bands.
It's often a brutal fight between the male horses, where they stand on their hind legs and battle one and other by pitching blows to various parts of the body with their front legs. They also bite each other, kick up dust and buck around like a wild bronco.
Unfortunately, sometimes the equines get badly hurt, forcing the BLM to euthanize those that come out of a fight with a broken leg or shoulder, Reynolds said.
BLM only puts down a horse if it's severely hurt, she said, adding that it's not a common occurrence. Other than that, it's up to the horses to take care of themselves, their bands and their young.
Population control and grazing concerns
Although the horses are splendid and noble in their own right, BLM has the difficult task of trying to control their population in order to maintain the Sand Wash Basin habitat.
The horses share the habitat with ranchers and sheep herders whose animals also thrive on the desert sand brush grass and goodies that flourish in the area.
The more horse population increases, the more grazing takes place. Therefore, BLM and volunteers have been administering birth control for the mares so that they don't continue to reproduce at such rapid rates. Last year, 60 foals were born.
The herd is currently at 406 horses, but BLM would like to see that number dip to 200 — a number that could take years to sustain.
"Our goal is to maintain a wild horse herd population to a level that is manageable and sustainable to the habitat in which they live," Reynolds said, noting that many of the ranchers in the Sand Wash Basin area have worked diligently with BLM to help care for the habitat.
"It's also been a hardship on those ranchers," she said. "I have to give a shout out to those folks. It's been a balancing act."
To keep the horse population manageable, BLM in the past has administered horse gatherings where it rounds up horses and puts them up for adoption in order to maintain the population. But controversy surrounds the gatherings, and BLM is trying to sustain birth rates instead of administering another gathering. The last roundup was conducted in 2008.
"At this point, we're not doing any wild horse gathers. We're not in a position to do that," Reynolds said, adding that birth control is the best option at this time.
Yet birth control for wild horses can be tricky, as volunteers have to go out and dart the mares with a PZP vaccine that prevents them from becoming pregnant. They also have to keep track of what mares were darted in order to see if the birth control is working.
"It takes two shots to get those mares to stop reproducing," Reynolds said.
Social media and photographers capturing wild horse beauty
Splendid landscape and colorful horses warrant stellar photography, and local photographers flock to the area year round to snap photos of the Sand Wash Basin herd.
Their work has gained huge popularity on Facebook.
Photographers share their photos on the Sand Wash Basin Wild Horses Facebook page that currently has nearly 17,000 followers.
"People have a passion about these horses," Craig photographer Patti Mosbey said. "People are passionate about Sand Wash."
So passionate that the photos of horses have been used as banners along the main streets of Craig, highlighting the beauty of Moffat County's prized herd. Additionally, one always can find a photo of wild horses for sale at any of the local art and craft fairs that happen throughout the year in Craig.
Photographers also name the horses and document the foals on the Facebook page. The rule of thumb is that whoever takes the first picture of a new foal and posts it on the Sand Wash Wild Horse Facebook page gets to name it, local shutterbug Nadja Rider said.
The Facebook page not only captures the new foals at Sand Wash, it also shows descriptive photos of stallions fighting, highlighting the brutal ways wild horses try to hold on to their mares.
The page has an album called "Sparring Stallions" that depicts just how merciless the fights can be among the males. The photos are graphic in nature and highlight what it's like for the herd's bands to maintain control.
BLM invites tourism in a responsible way
The Sand Wash Basin herd is no doubt a huge tourism attraction for Moffat County. Many don't even know the horses exist.
Yet BLM kindly reminds spectators that the horses are indeed wild.
"Feeding is an absolute no-no. First of all it's dangerous. It encourages the horses to become human-friendly, which is something we don't want to happen," Reynolds said.
She encourages people to visit the horses while respecting their habitat and wild nature.
"People need to respect these horses by not getting close to them. Particularly in the foaling season — the stallions can become really aggressive," she said.
So if you have the opportunity to view the amazing creatures, do so at a distance, Reynolds said.

2015 Sneak Peek: Fantastic Florals Fit for Every Fashionista
Hello There, Beautiful:
Whew! Attending New York Fashion Week can be completely exhausting! Running from show to show, jumping in and out of taxis, stopping for flicks of stylish fashionistas, and most importantly trend reporting can be a lot of work but it is all worth it when we get back to writing and sharing trends that we know are just your style.
As we recuperate from our fun, fashionable, and exciting time at New York Fashion Week, we have finally settled down so that we can deliver to you the fashion trends for Spring and Summer for 2015, straight from the runways.
There were so many trends that we absolutely adored, but one in vogue look that has remained the ultimate trend for the new and fresh season is floral prints. How absolutely fitting for the season, right?
When it comes to florals you want to avoid looking like a bouquet so you have to choose how to wear the right floral design and cut to be flattering to your amazing physique. Here are a few styles that we think you're gonna love:
The Floral Peplum: The floral peplum comes straight from the fashion heavens! It is flattering to most body shapes because it can cover the belly and makes it appear flat; it gives shape to your hips and creates curves. It also can make the breast appear fuller. This is a trend that we all can enjoy! Calculate your body shape here and learn more about how to dress your body type.
Floral Pencil Skirts: The floral pencil skirt is very trendy and complementing to your curves. It works especially well if you would like to accentuate your lower half to help balance an ample bust or broad shoulders. If you have a straight body shape, we love a floral skirt paired with a peplum top to give you all the right curves in all the right places. Calculate your shape here and learn more about how to calculate your body shape.
Floral Pants Suit: Hey ladies, don't be afraid to wear florals from head to toe. A floral pants suit is quite flattering when you wear wide floral prints. What are wide floral prints, you ask? This is when the print is usually two colors and the flowers are wide apart. Wearing this style is all about choosing the right cut for your body shape and choosing a jacket that falls to the proper length for your body type. Calculate your shape here to learn what cuts are most flattering on your body type.
So will you dare to wear the fashionable floral trend? We sure hope that you do because you are beautiful!

This was the diwali lantern that we had hung in our home…
Wow! Diwali really makes me feel as if I am on the top of the world!
Here are some of the images of crackers… that decorated the sky as every year, although they are not by my camera.[Courtesy – Google images]
Coming down to earth, it is the specialty of Diwali that we decorate our floors with Rangoli. It is kind of color powder, bit thicker than powder. We spread it on the ground to form different designs or sceneries or any picture of your choice. In short, the ground is the canvas and we fill color in it with Rangoli!
And of course, how can anyone forget lamps?? Its Diwali, that festivals of Lamps!!
It is really amazing how a small little lamp brightens the surrounding…No sad feeling can prevail here!
This post contains too many exclamation marks isn't it? But that's absolutely ok, it's Diwali post!!!!!!
On one of the Diwali days, we also pray to welcome Goddess Laksmi, goddess of wealth. It is a belief that she enters our house in the evening, around 7 pm, not just on Diwali but daily. So it is expected that we stay cheerful, enthusiastic at least at this point of time as we are, when we welcome other guests.
When I thought of this post, I had planned to write about its history like why it is celebrated, how it is celebrated and all that. But now it seems to be getting too long. So maybe, if I feel like, I will continue to write about the festival in next post! A longer Diwali!!
I hope you had Great Diwali and Thank you all for your wishes! All your wishes together have made my Diwali brighter!
~ Diana

Oscar Wilde! He was upstanding, discrete and a paradigm for decorum. Alright he wasn't actually any of those things. In fact, he was more like the Perez Hilton of the Victorian era. Yet still when you take an irreverent script, like that of The Importance of Being Earnest, and couple it with modern culture, like Jersey Shore, you can get hilarious results.
Now it's your turn. In the comment section of this blog (that would be the box below that says Comments, and then when clicked upon says LEAVE A COMMENT) write your own interpretation of Jersey Shore meets a classic novel. It could be the idle gossip of Emma or the raging drinking and marauding of the Three Musketeers. First write identify the classic novel you're parodying and then write three or four lines that you could imagine the Jersey Shore cast might say in this time period. Three winners will be selected to win a free book from HarperTeen.

I did say I wanted to have a go at the printables used in other ways – so I had a go. I don't think they are going to win any prizes but I like them well enough. If I printed the sheet and only used one or two of them, then I could use the other ones for something useful.
The ATC is just because I am always moaning about people who get started on Christmas when the weather is as hot as it is now (I exempt those Down Under, as Christmas IS Summertime, I think, if my years of watching Home & Away serve me well LOL!) and yes I KNOW I have been making calendars already, but I have been dying to use this little dingbat guy for AGES and he just seemed to glower and mutter Bah Humbug! to me so what could I do but
The clear granules are actually Diamond Dust and not unheated embossing powder, just in case you wondered.
I had the rest of the cut cards scattered across my desk, all overlapping, and this colour combo just called out to me. Simple enough, and the cards work well on this 5 x 5 card, I think. Again, nothing to write home about, but if yo need a card quick, you can't really get too much quicker than this
Care to bet on another catastrophic WOYWW post tomorrow? If the glimpse behind the card to my desk is any indication (and of course I can see the whole appalling mess from my viewpoint) that is a bet I would take if I were you – but then I MAY just surprise you and tidy up…who knows?

About National Emergency Water
National Emergency Water was established to prepare ALL types of businesses for a potential water emergency. Our core founders have extensive experience in the fields of emergency preparedness, fire and rescue, water planning, water management, risk assessment, and emergency plan implementation.
There is a difference when calling a regular water trucking company to provide a temporary water tank for a business. The magnitude and volume necessary for most facilities require assistance from professionals with a certain background to know the amount of water and pressure needed to create a preplanned report. The National Emergency Water team's vast experience and training in various emergency fields qualify us as a capable company who will assess, plan, and then monitor a water plan for a business.
If you own or run any type of business, water is key, no matter what the business is. With National Emergency Water and our Water Emergency Plans, we take away the stress and worry of what might happen if your business was to have to go without water for any period of time. With us, your business with not go without water PERIOD.
Why The Name - National Emergency Water?
We think that name says it all. If a business doesn't have water, that is most definitely an emergency, one that could shut down a business and cost you dollars, customers, and even potentially your business. When we started this company we had been working in the water delivery industry and noticed that many businesses and professional facilities didn't have a back up water supply onsite. Then when speaking with them after an emergency occurred and we supplied water, we realized how beneficial it would be to have a water insurance policy in place would be beneficial. We thought long and hard about our name…nothing could explain what service our company provides better than just saying it like it is, National Emergency Water, your water needs is our emergency.
National Emergency Water will become your 'LIQUID ASSET'- we will plan with your business for any incident so when something happens, your worse day ever turns into an uninterrupted pre-planned day. Call 602-429-6200 and schedule a consultation.

A Couple of "well meaning" lawmakers in New York have introduced legislation to require makers if detergent pods such as Tide to wrap each pod with a warning in order to make them less attractive so teens would stop eating them.
They also wrote a letter to Proctor and Gamble asking them to make their product safer. These two lawmakers state "We're asking for all laundry detergent pods to be uniform in color. We don't need them to look like Gummy Bears in order for consumers to use them," Hoylman added. "We need to impose clear warning labels on all packaging, including each pod."
Meanwhile proctor and Gamble say they do no intend to stop making the product. They urge that the pods be used as intended and that is to wash clothes.
Aren't teenagers old enough to know better and what good would it do to label the pods differently?
In a statement released by the company last month, CEO David Taylor said, "As a father, seeing recent examples of young people intentionally take part in self-harming challenges like ingesting large amounts of cinnamon or the so-called 'Tide Pods Challenge' is extremely concerning."

Building on from the Buckingham ethos of putting the scholar first and above all else, our medical faculty is sufficiently small for our students to be part of a coherent and supportive group, and large sufficient to supply all the expertise it's good to change into a medical practitioner. One school had a class dimension of greater than 200 and the other had a category measurement of 125. And when you aren't planning a future in tutorial medication, don't be concerned about not entering into an Ivy League college. Earlier than signing up for an MD program, give DO applications some consideration; we've got over thirty DO colleges on our site!
The most important motive is that if for no matter purpose med school does not work out, I don't want to become a researcher for the following 30 years of my life (It is a good job, simply doesn't curiosity me as much as engineering.) Also, as an international scholar, I plan to return house however I don't know when, maybe after I graduate or possibly after the Medical College, if I joined it, and here in Egypt this majors cannot get you to any job, literally.
If you're nervous about cost and indebtedness, seek for faculties that offer probably the most monetary assist to their college students. It is undoubtedly doable to get a quality training at one of the many Caribbean Medical Schools, however you could first do your homework and select a high quality school that matches your training and career goals. Medical registration/license to follow: Registration is compulsory with the Ministère de la Santé publique et de la Population, Palais des Ministères, Port-au-Prince. Along with meeting the pre-medical necessities, medical school candidates should take and report their scores on the MCAT , a standardized test that measures a scholar's information of the sciences and the English language. You may as well see other costs in addition to the typical tuition of all med faculties by state.
The programs could vary from 2 to six. In Brazil are currently recognized by the Federal Council of Drugs, the Brazilian Medical Affiliation and the National Fee of Medical Residency fifty three residency programs. Step II CK is taken through the fourth 12 months of medical faculty and checks students' mastery of the administration of in poor health sufferers.
Most scholarship presents come together with your acceptance letter or shortly after your acceptance particularly for those who fill out financial support kinds (FAFSA) similtaneously your AMCAS utility. The latest graduate will have the ability to train the medical profession as a basic practitioner and will apply to undertake postgraduate coaching.

Cooperatives Gear Up for New Legislature Session by Hosting Events
The 84th session of the Iowa General Assembly began on January 10. However, the directors and employees of ECI did not wait for the first gavel to fall to prepare for the new session.
"Forty new faces were elected to the Iowa legislature in November, and we needed to get to know these new elected legislators as well as to renew acquaintances with the 110 legislators returning to Des Moines," said ECI REC CEO Harry Ruth.
Iowa's electric cooperatives began hosting small regional meetings for legislators beginning in November. CEO Ruth attended meetings in Grinnell and Postville.
Then, on the evening of January 11, all legislators were invited to a Welcome Back Reception at the Iowa Historical Museum in Des Moines. Iowa electric cooperatives sponsor this reception in conjunction with four other organizations.
ECI REC Board President Steve Rau explained: "We want the legislators in Des Moines to trust us as a source of accurate, useful information about energy matters. What happens in Des Moines can affect electric cooperatives. We want the Iowa legislature to help us keep our members' lights on and their electric bills as low as possible."
ECI REC brought simple messages to legislators:
- One-size solutions from Des Moines are not appropriate. Each electric cooperative is locally owned and controlled. Each board develops solutions tailored to its own membership.
- When promoting renewable energy or energy efficiency, use incentives, not mandates. Again, one size does not fit all. Allow each electric cooperative to develop programs suited to its members.
- Support Iowa's Assigned Territory Law. Stable service territories allow all electric utilities to efficiently and economically plan and build their electric systems for the benefit of all Iowans.
- We will support any proposal that aids in the production and distribution of reliable, affordable electric power.

Stuttering in Perspective
Stuttering is widely misunderstood, with conflicting theories and unsubstantiated claims for treatment programs. The NSA is committed to educating the public about stuttering. We follow the latest developments in research and encourage people who stutter to seek treatment but do not endorse specific therapies.
If you are a reporter, writer or producer working on a story about stuttering, we can assist you with background information, expert sources and interview subjects.

Issues in Stuttering
Speech therapy
Effective speech therapy by a qualified speech-language pathologist (SLP) can help most people who stutter speak more fluently (although maintaining fluency is a challenge). Because stuttering is a low-incidence disorder, however, most SLPs are trained as generalists and have limited training and experience in working with people who stutter. SLPs who are board recognized specialists in fluency disorders are best qualified to work with stuttering.
Commercially marketed treatment programs
Although SLPs are credentialed and licensed, treatment for stuttering is largely unregulated. A number of commercially marketed programs claim high success rates in treating stuttering. These programs DO work for SOME people who stutter, but the experience of our members has been that one-size-fits-all treatments do NOT work for everyone who stutters.
Treatment success rates
Little definitive research exists to measure the outcomes of stuttering treatment. The traditional way of measuring the severity of stuttering – counting the percentage of disfluent syllables – does not take into account the impact stuttering has on a person's life. Most therapies can help people who stutter significantly speak more fluently in a short time, especially in a clinical setting, but long-term success is elusive and relapses are common. For this reason, short-term clinical results are not an accurate measure of treatment effectiveness.
Assistive devices
Assistive devices change the auditory feedback people hear when they speak, and this can help some people who stutter. This principle has been in use for decades, and digital technology now makes such devices smaller and more versatile. Assistive devices are effective for some people who stutter but ineffective for others, and are by no means a ?cure? for stuttering. The NSA recommends caution in using assistive devices and does not recommend them for children. We can put you in touch with researchers who are currently studying the long-term effects of assistive devices.
Early intervention for children who stutter
About 1 in 30 children stutter at some point, and at least one-quarter of children who stutter do NOT "develop out of it."ÿ If these children receive appropriate therapy at an early age, it is possible that most will NOT become adult stutterers. Experts now recommend that children who stutter begin speech therapy as early as age 3 or 4. However, parents still get bad advice from some pediatricians (and even some speech therapists) to defer speech therapy until it may be more difficult to prevent chronic, life-long stuttering.
Medical and genetic research
Recent medical research has associated specific brain activity with stuttering, but has not yet determined whether these phenomena are the cause of stuttering or the result of stuttering. Other studies currently in progress are using recent developments in genetics to explore the origins of stuttering. Studies are exploring the use of certain medications show promise that medication MAY help SOME people who stutter. The National Stuttering Association works closely with leading researchers. If you are interested in learning more, we can arrange interviews with university-based experts who can present a balanced view of current trends in stuttering research.
Stuttering is widely misunderstood. Children who stutter and often are subjected to bullying and teasing. The NSA works with parents, teachers and SLPs to counter teasing in school empower children who stutter with strategies for dealing with teasing on their own. Some adults who stutter have experienced workplace discrimination because of negative stereotypes about stuttering. These include the widely held misconceptions that stutterers are nervous, shy, quiet, self-conscious, withdrawn, indecisive, tense, anxious, fearful, reticent, and guarded. NSA support groups help people who stutter become more self-confident and put their listeners at ease. Many of our members are successful professional and business people including lawyers, teachers, executives and effective public speakers.
The Stuttering Story: Putting news about stuttering into perspective
News coverage about new developments in stuttering research and treatment is exciting but can be misleading if taken out of context. Any new treatment that promises to help some people who stutter is good news. However, over-optimistic media reports that claim a cure for stuttering can do more harm than good. The NSA can put you in touch with expert sources to help you check facts and put news about stuttering into perspective.
The NSA responds to misleading media reports with letters to editors and producers, and encourages its members to do the same.
Expert Sources
The most authoritative sources on stuttering are speech-language pathologists who specialize in stuttering, especially those who are actively involved in clinical practice and academic research and are board recognized specialists in stuttering. However, reporters should be aware that the majority of speech-language pathologists have limited experience in stuttering and may not be conversant with the latest research and treatment developments. Most psychiatrists and physicians are not experts in stuttering.
Human-Interest Stories
The NSA has hundreds of members who have overcome stuttering. Their stories are heartwarming and inspiring: adults who have achieved professional success, parents who have been given new hope for their children, and more. You can meet our members and see stuttering support in action at the NSA's national conference, regional workshops and youth days, and local chapters.
Portrayals of Stuttering in TV and Film
Some movies and TV shows have portrayed people who stutter accurately and with sensitivity. We would like to see more productions with characters who are normal folks who happen to stutter. Stuttering also can be extremely funny in comic situations that do not demean people who stutter. Unfortunately, some writers and directors use stuttering inaccurately as a symptom of weakness, nervousness or mental illness. This reinforces outmoded stereotypes and may be offensive to many of the 3 million Americans who stutter. The NSA welcomes the opportunity to work with writers and directors to help make stuttering characters and situations realistic.
