This is so cool, I just wanted to share.
Peregrine Fund: http://www.peregrinefund.orgThe South Rim of the Grand Canyon has long been a favorite of human visitors gawking at the stunning views and taking advantage of the manmade services. As it turns out, the South Rim also is a favorite of endangered California condors — for many of the same reasons. The large birds often gather to watch people, socialize with one another and drink from a leaky water pipe.
On some days, as many as 25 to 30 condors soar over the canyon area — more birds than were in existence a generation ago when officials decided to capture and breed them.
The birds, which have dull orange featherless heads with a stubby beak and dark body feathers, were reintroduced in the wild in Arizona starting in 1996. What began with the release of six birds 50 miles north of here has led to a flock of 53, including some of the first wild-born condors since the early 1980s.
Two of the three fledglings hatched in Arizona have survived, and three other condor pairs are nesting this year, said Chris Parish, the Peregrine Fund's condor director in Arizona. The nonprofit Peregrine Fund runs a breeding facility in Boise, Idaho, where the birds are hatched and prepared for release, and has overseen Arizona's condor program.
Parish and others say it's too early to call the reintroduction a success because the population isn't yet self-sustaining.
"But we finally have a foothold," he said. "I, for one, have confidence ... we're well on our way."
California condors are among the largest birds native to North America and have no natural predators. With a wingspan up to 9 1/2 feet, they have a reach 2 feet wider than NBA giant Yao Ming.
The condors, which may live up to 60 years, were driven to near extinction by the early 1980s. Shootings, poisonings and crashes with power lines combined with their naturally low reproductive rate shriveled the birds' population.
To keep them from entirely disappearing, federal officials and nonprofit groups worked to capture the birds and breed them with hopes that they could be released into the wild again.
Releases began in 1992 in California. Today, there are about 118 birds in the wild in Arizona, central and southern California and coastal Mexico.
Jesse Grantham, condor recovery program coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said the 25-year project to save the condors has taught biologists along the way.
The early years of reintroduction were difficult because the young birds didn't have older birds to follow in the wild. Biologists didn't anticipate that the young condors would need mentors, but it makes sense in hindsight, he said.
Now that older birds have established patterns in the wild, it has become safer for younger birds to follow.
The people in the region have also adapted to the return of the wild birds.
Some residents of northern Arizona and southern Utah were concerned about the reintroduction when it began. They feared the endangered birds would bring federal intrusion and restrictions, Parish said.
But now, the locals are accustomed to the birds, and canyon visitors, who hardly noticed them at first, love them.
At least one South Rim gift shop sells condor plush toys and T-shirts bearing the condor image. Park officials hold daily, sometimes twice daily, interpretive programs for visitors about the condors right over the South Rim location the birds use as their social hub, said Chad Olson, the canyon's raptor biologist.
"It's such a unique situation where you can show people one of the most endangered species in the world," he said.
The park is a blessing and curse for the condors, he said. It's protected and has millions of acres of habitat for the birds, which have a home-range radius of 50 to 70 miles. But there are a lot of people here, and biologists fear the condors will come to think that people are safe.
"There are some challenges we deal with, primarily people management more than bird management," said Olson, who sometimes waves his arms to scare the birds if they come too close to the crowds gathered on the rim.
But the canyon's rim is attractive to the birds, in part because there is so much activity and because they are so curious, he said.
"It's such a crazy unnatural situation, where you have this insane amount of activity," Olson said. "They innately know the places to find food is where there's activity."

During a recent news conference Cummins Inc. unveiled plans to enter the electric powertrain market as well as plans for its digital products during a news conference.
Cummins' Electrification Business Development Executive Director Julie Furber outlined the company's electrified powertrain plans after touting the company's 10 years of projects testing powertrains in various commercial applications such as pick-up and delivery, truck and transit bus prototype systems for fully electric, range extended and hybrid vehicles.
While announcing the company's entry into the electrification market, Cummins said that in addition to continuing to develop technologies in the diesel market, the company will also look at developing products that use alternative fuels.
"In the longer term, there is the possibility of the development of alternative fuels like bio-fuels, synthetic fuels, or hydrogen, which could also drive customers away from diesel, and we're prepared for these potential changes to occur," said Cummins Chief Technical Officer Jennifer Rumsey.

Hi friends and happy Sunday! I didn't do any nails today but instead ended up making a very pretty nail polish bottle :D I decided to rose-rize the polish I made the other day. You can see the swatches of the polish in my food nail art post.
I made the roses using polymer clay and attached them with super glue. I haven't played with polymer clay for a while now and some of the roses look a bit wonky :D
Overall I love how it turned out, it looks more like a pretty decoration than nail polish :D
Thanks for reading xoxox

Woodbridge Roofing
Looking for Woodbridge Roofing? If you are seeing some shingles buckling or curling usually that starts to happen when the underlay gets wet and maintains moisture. Missing shingles can also mean that there could be a hole in the roof. It is worth getting a professional to come and take a look at your roof and see if there are shingles missing and why. If there are a few shingles missing it can be repaired, but if the damage is further, a new roof may need to be installed. A professional will inform the homeowner what is the best form of action to be taken.

As I mentioned earlier on, we have activities set up for him in ever corner of our home. Upstairs, downstairs, in virtually every room, there is a basket or something related to him.
You've seen his room before, there is a set of shelf in there for calm activities to do on the floor. His permanence box with interchangeable lid permanently lives there, along with a treasure basket of some sort (although I feel the end of treasure basket to be soon). I usually add one or 2 other activity that rotate monthly.
|this was taken a few months ago
I've also shown you his weaning table, that is basically becoming a drawing table. That is the most common activity he does there.
The living room is his new spot. He now like being in the center of the home, near of where I work and am. So I reorganized a few things to created space for his activities there. It is perfect!
We bought a Ikea table about 6 months ago. This table isn't sold anymore at Ikea, and after wanting to buy it so many times while it was available and not doing so, when I found it second hand, I just jumped on the occasion. Perfect table for kids!
I've been going back a forth for a while now on having a room for all activities to go in. But I finally came to the conclusion that I rather have learning as a part of our home rather then it being confined to a room, and since the only room available is downstairs, and far away from the hearth of our home, it is less then ideal, and therefore unused. So I rather have my kids's activity in the living room, even though the setting is not perfect.
As for the room downstairs, I've been working on it for many weeks now. I want this room to be one where creativity is the prime interest. I'll sow it to you, once it finally feels finished.

Turkey may not seem like an obvious choice when searching for cosmetic surgery procedures, however Turkey has become a major player in the cosmetic surgery market. With many cost prices a fraction of those from UK clinics, Turkey offers choice and good standards of care at very affordable prices. Many patients also look forward to visiting a region that has been popular with sun worshippers and tourists for decades.
Patients are heading to Turkey for common and specialist plastic cosmetic surgery treatments, from the ever popular breast and nose surgeries, to newer treatments like fat transfer, hair transplant, and new developments in liposuction and aesthetics. Patients can save up to 70% on treatments, however you will have to factor the risks and additional costs of travel into the equation.
Istanbul is still a firm favourite among medical tourists travelling to Turkey. However it may also be a good idea to look at flight prices to many of the coastal resorts as they can often cost less than flying to Istanbul. Whatever you decide, Turkey has top clinics throughout and we will be here to offer you the information you need to make the best decision for you.
It is important to remember when travelling to Turkey that an Electronic Visa is required to any non-nationals entering the country. This can be got via the Electronic Visa website or by visiting the many kiosks that operate in all of the main airports in Turkey.

Consistent productivity is something we all struggle to maintain. As certain courses progress each chapter may vary in difficulty. Ensuring that we always use our time most efficiently is extremely important when it comes to study habits. One way I've been able to maximize my focus is through the Pomodoro Technique.
The Pomodoro Technique is an exercise in time management skills created by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It encourages us to work with the time we are allotted instead of working against it. By allotting ourselves 25 minute work increments with 3-5 minute breaks in between we can eliminate the dreaded "burnt out" feeling we get after marathon study sessions.
Executing the Pomodoro Technique properly is simple. Chose a task to be completed and set a timer for 25 minutes. Any time a distraction comes to your attention—be it a text, email or snap—immediately write it down and then resume the task at hand. At the end of the first 25 minutes, allow a 3-5 minute break and then start another 25 minutes of focus. After four blocks of focus (also called "Pomodoros") allow for a 15-30 minute break. Repeat the cycle until the task is completed.
It is important to record each Pomodoro we complete to reinforce a sense of progress. The best part of this method is being able to compare and contrast the number of Pomodoros needed to complete certain tasks over time. After a while more daunting tasks will begin to seem a lot more achievable and our estimate of the time they will take will become more realistic.
In addition to our work, the Pomodoro Technique offers us a clearer breakdown of our distractions in terms of priority . Knowing that we only have 5 minutes to take my mind off this Chemistry final on Friday helps us realize that aimlessly scrolling through our Twitter feed may be an activity best saved for later on. A more rewarding use of that 5 minutes could be finding last minute stub hub tickets to a sold out show this weekend.
For more information on the Pomodoro Technique visit pomodorotechnique.com where they have educational videos in addition to actual timers for sale.

- 50 years of the British Science Fiction Association
editor: Ian Whates
A solid but sadly unexceptional collection, with stories that range from whimsical surrealism and cranky genre satire to uniquely British retro and speculative fiction reflecting (via alternate worlds) on familiar 20th century SF tropes or delivering riffs on edgier 21st century themes. It's a book that's quite suitable for collectors of SF literature but is hardly essential reading for general sci-fi fans.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and is a time for every community to come together and build awareness and a movement towards safe and healthy relationships for all individuals and families. Domestic violence touches every person in our community and society as a whole; and violates a person's dignity, safety, and basic human rights. It is something I came in contact with on a regular basis after I volunteered as a Victim's Advocate for the cities of Northglenn and Thornton Colorado a few years ago.
The issue weighed heavily on my mind and being an author I finally put the issue front and center in an adult suspense novel, CRIES IN THE NIGHT, which was published ten days ago. One of the reviewers of the book stated it best:
"I sat and read this book in one day, which is amazing considering my hectic schedule. Ms. Clark provides an inside view into the lives of first responders. We see them at the scene of the crimes, or in the midst of emergencies, and they are the people's heroes. But do we really know them beyond that? She provides a candid in-depth look into the chaos and confusion that is their lives, the raw emotions they deal with behind the scenes as a result of their career choices, and show us the human side of these special people, walking in a unique calling.
I fell in love with the characters, Julie and Rusty, while becoming endeared to his brothers, Chris and Sam as well. Other characters in the story that were central to the storyline are so authentic, that you actually become connected to them in a real way.
I loved the story because while it does have elements of romance, the story was not romance based. It is a contemporary fiction story, with elements of suspense to keep your adrenaline pumping, and elements of romance to keep the heat flowing from the pages. This was a professionally, well-written story, which takes a look at real life adversities of abuse victims, emergency personnel, and true life challenges from a first responders perspective.
Ms. Clark did a wonderful job of weaving a tale of intrigue, and compassion with depth, and reality. The characters are relatable, and a hidden secret from one of the characters past can derail even the best laid protection plans. Ms. Clark did not miss a beat in this romantic suspense novel."

And the winner is…NOLA. New Orleans has won by a hair. This lovely city not only hosted the Super Bowl, it will also host Shades and his lovely lady friend for St. Patrick's Day 2013. I can only hope that Pat O'Brien's in the French Quarter will dye their famous Hurricanes green for the day.
New Orleans has to be one of my most favorite U.S. cities to visit. Between the architecture, history, bars and drinks–this is a city that never sleeps. New Orleans has the right mixture of Bloody Marys and Hurricanes to keep you going all night and then some. When you think of New Orleans think of the Robert Earl Keen song…"The road goes on forever and the party never ends."
To entice our readers, we are having our first ever Six Pack of Stories contest called "Where's Shades?" While in NOLA I will be checking in on Facebook periodically, if you can find me at that particular bar before I leave to go to the next bar, you get a drink of your choice on Shade's tab (no purchase necessary; void where prohibited).
A votre sante!

There are two selections held over from the last list; four classics, and the
Sistas rank three of the top four. Read them and watch your back.
No. 10-State of Denial: Bush at War, Bob Woodward-ISBN 0743272234. This is
the same guy whose Washington Post investigative reporting and editorials
brought down Richard Nixon. He's got the files on Bush too, but today he withholds tons of information until his book gets published. If the apocalypse comes you can bet Woodward knew something.
No. 9-A Classic. The Life and Times of Frederick Douglass, Frederick
Douglass-ISBN 0486431703: Any of you who consider that reading and getting good
grades is somehow "acting white,� needs to go through what Douglass endured back
then when reading was illegal for Blacks. Young Douglass hustled for knowledge,
persuading white childhood friends and a slaveholder wife to expose him
to a word here or a lesson there.
Most slaves revered Douglass because he took heat for this act of defiance, and he secretly taught others. Once caught –ratted out by another slave, just like some of ya'll still do—the teenage Douglass was handed over to the brutal hands of "Covay the Negro Breaker;� an anti-Black recon, interrogator, and punisher. The rest is history. There are many such Negro breakers today in various industries and incarnations. How are you handling them?
No. 8-A Classic. Confessions of Nat Turner: William Styron-ISBN 0679736638:
Styron won a Pulitzer for misinterpreting a damn good slaughter and in
completely overlooking Turner's captivity itself as justification, seems to
posthumously scold and reprimand Turner and his followers. Black press
hammered him; Styron still couldn't figure out why. He died on 11/1/06.
No. 7-Man Up: Nobody's Coming To Save You: Steve Perry-ISBN 0970892926: A take-no-prisoners tirade through Black male culpability from the "gangsta� to some educated brothas, and why both are failing the Black community. Only 150 pages; he explains why thugs are actually soft and working men and union/activists are the real hard-core. A must read for students and inmates. Buy in bulk and get a discount by contacting Sister Jackie Black of Renegade Books at (860) 740-6761.
No. 6-A Classic. The Mis-education of the Negro, Carter G. Woodson-ISBN
1564110419: This '06 reprint by H. Khalid Khalifah is sadly ahead of it's
time. This Muslim Brother brings one of the most important reads ever into
the fray of an even worse mis-education program for Blacks. Woodson
wouldn't be thrilled with today's schools.
No. 5-Code of the Street, Elijah Anderson-ISBN 0393320782: 70s Structural
Decline left a vacuum, closing plants, absent jobs, absent paycheck, absent
manhood, absent fathers. In it's place the rise of the black market economy, increased gang membership, new drugs; angel dust, crack, etc., and a new street etiquette that leaves little room for errors, and much room for murders. Right becomes wrong and wrong becomes right. Unlike most "street� books, this focuses on the lives of regular people living amongst pimps, prostitutes, gangsters, and gamers—and what they do to keep their families and lives together.
No. 4-Classic. The Isis Papers: the keys to the colors, Dr. Frances Cress
Welsing-ISBN 0976531704 Psychiatrist Welsing authored the Cress Theory of
Color Confrontation, of which white supremacy is the driving force. Welsing
takes up where Dr. Neely Fuller left off. Powerful.
No. 3-Black Education: a transformative research and action agenda for the
new century, edited by Dr. Joyce E. King-ISBN 0805854584 The result of a
worldwide survey that concludes that Black children are failing due to
courses and teaching methods not geared to them, and solutions to improve.
No. 2-How to Keep Black Boys out of Special Education, Jawanza Kunjufu-ISBN
0974900028 Another hit for Kunjufu, a comparative study on why white fear
puts Black boys in special ed. Chapters two and 11 are actually blistering
PowerPoint Presentations: "Thirty percent of special education teachers are
unqualified, and the majority of them teach in African American schools.�
No. 1-Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of medical experimentation on
Black Americans from colonial times to present, Harriet Washington-ISBN
0385509936 Meticulously researched account, a 500 page report (glossary 50
pages-long) and commentary of tireless, devious white experimentation on
Blacks since colonialism, to the modern health care disparities.
Currently making the rounds on Black talk radio. Read this before it becomes illegal (again).

Sorry for leaving you without content the last couple of days. Occasionally, I get days that stretch from very early to quite late – Wednesday and Thursday left no time for extras.What was I doing?
- starting Creative Fundamentals II Workshop
- finishing Creative Fundamentals I Workshop
- shooting an assignent for Ottawa Magazine
- keeping up with necessary daily correspondence and admin tasks
Creative Fun is going well. It's my most popular course – ons graduating student wrote: "I've come away with exactly what I needed to get – Thanks!"
My assignment was to photograph Malcolm Isaac's super insulated house near Wakefield, Quebec. It is built with the ideas of a European Passivhaus that consumes 10% of the energy of a conventionally built Canadian home. The cost is marginally more than a normal house but the $energy savings are astronimcal!
This is Malcolm's photo of his house (mine must go directly to the magazine – they have first rights!):
Have fun,

SAN FRANCISCO, July 15 — On the Internet nobody knows you're a dog — or the chief executive of a Fortune 500 company.
Or so thought John Mackey, the chief executive of Whole Foods Market, who used a fictional identity on the Yahoo message boards for nearly eight years to assail competition and promote his supermarket chain's stock, according to documents released last week by the Federal Trade Commission.
Mr. Mackey used the online handle "Rahodeb" (an anagram of his wife's name, Deborah). In one Internet posting sure to enter the annals of chief-executive vanity, Mr. Mackey wrote as Rahodeb, "I like Mackey's haircut. I think he looks cute!"
With all a chief executive has to do, the 14-hour days spent barking orders, digesting reports, motivating employees and courting Wall Street, why would they spend their time sparring with anonymous critics online? And what makes them think they won't be revealed?
Certainly ego is involved. Chief executives are used to having their own way around the office, where criticism is usually tempered. Successful executives like Mr. Mackey, whose company's share price has risen fourfold since 2000, are apparently seduced by the Internet's promise of anonymity and the temptation of joining heated rhetorical battles about the issues closest to their hearts — even when the law requires them to stay on the sidelines.
"We have the most protected, covered, cautious and public relations-barricaded generation of leaders in history," said Jeffrey A. Sonnenfeld, a professor of corporate governance at Yale. Today's tightly controlled, artfully packaged executives, he said, "want to release and spout off, and they somehow think this is a forum where they'll be held less accountable."
But in many cases, that promise of anonymity is an illusion. Recently caught promoting themselves or their causes have been a handful of chief executives and political operatives, a critic for a major magazine, as well as dozens of lesser-known bloggers, authors and entrepreneurs who sneak changes onto their own entries on Wikipedia or the reviews of their books on Amazon.com.
This digital-age deception has a name, "sock-puppeting," and a precise definition — the act of creating a fake online identity to praise, defend or create the illusion of support for one's self, allies or company.
For executives like Mr. Mackey, sock-puppeting is probably more gratifying than effective in swaying opinion or stock prices — until they get caught. Then it is embarrassing, and for chief executives, at least, potentially illegal. Laws carefully prescribe what executives of public companies can say. The Wall Street Journal reported on its Web site Friday night that the Securities and Exchange Commission had begun a formal inquiry into whether Mr. Mackey violated security laws with the posts.
Whole Foods maintains that Mr. Mackey did not break the law because he did not disclose any confidential company information.
But the consequences could be damaging to the company, if not to Mr. Mackey. Securities lawyers say the Federal Trade Commission might use the comments to scuttle Whole Foods' proposed acquisition of a competitor, Wild Oats, a company Mr. Mackey derided in his posts. Wild Oats may also use the comments as the basis of a lawsuit against Whole Foods.
Other chief executives have found their sock puppetry coming back to haunt them. At the criminal fraud trial of Hollinger International's chief executive, Conrad M. Black, prosecutors introduced evidence that the former press baron had once proposed joining a Yahoo Finance chat room to blame short sellers for his company's stock performance.
When his chief of investor relations declined to post the message because of securities rules, Mr. Black wrote in an e-mail message, "don't be so strait-laced ... Get our story out." Prosecutors alleged that Mr. Black then posted the message himself, using the name "nspector."
Mr. Black was found guilty Friday of mail fraud and obstruction of justice, and he faces a maximum of 35 years in prison.
Mr. Mackey and Mr. Black are only the latest examples of high-profile figures who tried to exploit the anonymity of the Internet to promote their companies and combat enemies under false pretenses.
Patrick M. Byrne, founder and chief executive of the beleaguered online retailer Overstock.com, has for years been accused of anonymously resorting to the Internet to do battle with his company's critics. In an interview, Mr. Byrne said that he never hides his true identity and always signs his name when he posts under his online handle, "Hannibal" (the Carthaginian conqueror, not the celluloid serial killer).
Mr. Byrne said he uses online forums to convey what he has learned about the hidden agendas of his critics. "Nothing about being a public figure compels one to surrender one's First Amendment rights," he said.
Certainly many top executives honestly communicate on the Web via blogs without embarrassing themselves or their company. Jonathan Schwartz of Sun Microsystems, J.W. Marriott Jr. of Marriott International and Michael J. Critelli of Pitney Bowes all write official blogs using their own names, earning points for perspicacity and accessibility, even if they avoid the frankness that anonymous postings allow.
For high-profile figures, particularly members of political campaigns, sock-puppeting can be a shortcut to career disaster. In September, Tad Furtado, the policy director for the then-representative from New Hampshire, Charles Bass, a Republican, was caught posting under assumed names on Democratic blogs, arguing that the race was not competitive and that Democrats should focus their energies elsewhere. Liberal bloggers traced the source of the messages back to the House of Representatives and identified Mr. Furtado, who lost his job. His boss lost the election.
Writers are also no strangers to the temptation to burnish their positions with pseudonymous support, nor to the red-faced ruin that can result when they are discovered.
In April 2006, The Los Angeles Times pulled Michael A. Hiltzik, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, off of his blog because he had posted comments on blogs under an assumed name while feuding with readers. In November, New Republic magazine suspended its culture critic Lee Siegel after it determined that he had been energetically defending himself in the discussion forums of his New Republic blog, under the name "sprezzatura" (Italian for "making the difficult look easy").
In an interview, Mr. Siegel said that it is only human to engage with critics, particularly in a medium like the Web that encourages self-expression. He still defends his actions, saying that he was having fun, playfully praising himself while combating some critics whom he saw as fierce and puerile. He thinks that much of the inflection of his online writing got lost on the computer screen.
"As for Mackey boosting his company and putting down his rivals, entrepreneurs will be entrepreneurs, and technology is an amplification of human nature, not a cure for it," Mr. Siegel said.
It may also be human nature to vent online, especially for people who, like chief executives, face formidable legal and public relations pressures to stay on script. That pressure, repressing people who may be otherwise inclined to speak and fight candidly, may be what forces executives like Mr. Mackey to invent fake identities.
Paul Kedrosky, a venture capitalist in San Diego and author of the blog Infectious Greed, said he thinks that business people are increasingly resorting to sock-puppetry. "I'm convinced it's broader than anybody knows," he said, "I'm convinced this is the tip of the iceberg."
Mr. Kedrosky said that one chief executive recently told him that he almost had to "chew off my right arm to keep from participating" in an online forum. He declined to name the company but said, "It's a hard temptation to walk away from."

Article No :630 | March 3, 2011 | by Corey Pressman
In its 2009 paper, Being Human: Human-Computer Interaction in the year 2020, Microsoft dubbed the nascent developments in ubiquitous computing the dawn of the "Ubiquity Era." This new era is driven by the proliferation of versatile mobile devices, and is marked by radical changes in how we geolocate, learn, and connect.
The First Ubiquity Era
This is not the first time humanity has experienced a profound transition catalyzed by versatile and mobile technology; early stone tool technologies spurred a similar transformation. Knapping, the practice of precisely shaping stones into a variety of tools, began in the Upper Paleolithic area and allowed our early ancestors to achieve sociocultural patterns that are still signifiers of our species. The widespread appearance of this technology is associated with an era of massive human migrations, the advent of art, and the rise of large geographic trade networks.
Can we learn from this First Ubiquity Era—can insights gained from occurrences 14,000 years ago guide us today in knapping the "glowing rectangle" in the New Ubiquity Era? Yes.
The New Ubiquity Era
The First Ubiquity Era's efficacy hinged on the wide global distribution of new, versatile, stone tool technologies. Similarly, our handy glowing rectangles—from the Nokia 1100 to OLPC's XO tablet to Apple's iPad—are approaching significant levels of global distribution. In fact, this distribution is wide enough that designers, developers, and people with actionable ideas can use these devices to substantially transform the human experience on a global scale.
This trend has already begun. New mobile technologies (and their concomitant ubiquity) represent a "leapfrog event" in which citizens of less economically developed countries (LEDCs) and hitherto technologically isolated members of developed nations are benefiting from direct access to mobile technology, cloud computing, and the Internet.
Heartening examples exist in the realms of finance, health care, and education:
M-Pesa is a money transfer service that allows people in Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, and Afghanistan to deposit and withdraw money, transfer money to other users and non-users, and pay bills using their cell phones. Users conduct their transactions and conduct the cash transactions via a network of local shopkeepers who act as banking agents. The M-Pesa system provides access to money-managing activities that previously difficult or impossible. Now, saving and managing one's funds—a path out of poverty—is possible for people who have never had reliable access to banking.
Click Diagnostics
Click Diagnostics is a global mHealth enterprise founded to address the "lack of medical specialists in under-served regions [and the] lack of real-time health data needed for strategic interventions by the government and NGOs." In a partnership with NGOs, phone companies, and medical associations, Click Diagnostics hires local staff members, equipped with a mobile phone, to travel rural regions of Africa, South Asia, and the Americas. Using the phone's camera and texting functions, these staffers and their phones serve as a "mobile tele-consultation platform;" they send real-time diagnostic information to waiting health care professionals who then offer immediate diagnoses. People who were once a few days travel from a doctor are now just a click away from professional health services.
The Grameen Foundation's tagline is "Transforming Lives through Innovation in Information Access," and they provide Ugandan farmers with access to essential agricultural information using their AppLab product. A network of "Community Knowledge Workers" travels from farm to farm with mobile phones. Farmers can use these phones to gather information from AppLab's SMS-searchable database of agriculture tips and advice, learn about market prices, and receive weather forecasts. Here's a great video of AppLab in action:
These three examples (and there are many more) illuminate the contours of this New Ubiquity Era. The functional flexibility and wide distribution of mobile devices can be leveraged for the education and empowerment of populations that heretofore have been isolated from the types of information and services made available by the glowing rectangles in their midst.
A iPad Case Study: Exprima Media and Sustainable Harvest
Recently, my company, Exprima Media, joined the New Ubiquity Era by building an iPad app to serve coffee farmers in the Americas and Africa.
Exprima Media partnered with Sustainable Harvest, Sustainable Harvest, a B Corporation coffee importing business based in Portland, Oregon. Sustainable Harvest brings together all the members of the coffee supply chain, from the farmer to the final consumer, to create a sustainable economic model that serves everyone involved. Part of the Sustainable Harvest mission is to provide education for coffee farmers; their educational programs aim to improve quality of life as well as the quality (and marketability) of their coffee.
To this end, Sustainable Harvest worked with Exprima Media to create an iPad app that staff can use to deliver educational videos to remote coffee farmers in Mexico, Peru, and Tanzania. The app delivers educational content in three languages: English, Spanish, and Swahili. Currently, the app features videos and information about coffee agronomy, food security, and coffee business. Future plans for the app include health-related content and social media features to connect coffee farmers from around the globe.
At the time of this article's publication, staff from Sustainable Harvest and Exprima Media will be on-site for the app's launch at a coffee coop in San Ignacio, Peru. In addition to launching the product, Sustainable Harvest will be studying user behavior first-hand and learning how to make our product more useful.
This iPad app represents, in our opinion, the best of what the iPad has to offer: easy access to well-designed educational content. Few things are more empowering than information, and few things more alarming than the asymmetrical access to information evident on a global scale. Mobile technology has the potential to modulate the situation by creating previously impossible opportunities to distribute knowledge.
Allied with user-centered design, these technologies represent a new era of global information diffusion. The activities of organizations like M-Pesa, The Grameen Foundation, Click Diagnostics, and Sustainable Harvest (just to name a few) are clear indications of what can be accomplished with the powerful alloy of good technology, good business, and good design.

Mr. Randall Siler
I am very thankful to be working at Grover C. Fields. This is my twelfth year at Grover. It is a pleasure, and a valued trust, to work with your young people. While I may not see into the future, I believe the future is before me every school day. As such, a major part of the responsibility and trust given is to help prepare these young adults for that future. As President Franklin Roosevelt said, "We may not be able to prepare the future for our children, but we can at least prepare our children for the future." Our country will only be as great as the character of its citizens, and the citizens will be defined by their choices and commitments. Education is truly a team product. Working together we can provide the tools and guidance they need to shape a bright and bold tomorrow.

It arrived really fast and the kimono is beautiful!
I ordered a kimono for myself and a yukata for my friend. Both are absolutely exquisite in quality. My friend adores her yukata. The kimono is so so sooo gorgeous! Both were packed with great care. I will absolutely order again from here in the future. I'd love get to get a yukata for myself as well. I truly cannot express how satisfied I am.
I couldn't find any stains or wear marks and it looked better in person than the photos. The signature really made it feel special as well. 10/10
This kimono is absolutely stunning. All parts arrived safely and as expected. Will definitely recommend this shop to friends and family.
I'm absolutely in love with this kimono. The craftsmanship is amazing, and I sincerely look forward to wearing this.
Thank you, Kimono-Yucata-Market! Your service is wonderful and your pieces are of astounding quality.

This article discusses why '550 Sender verify failed' messages may occur when you try to send e-mail, and how to resolve the issue.
When you try to send an e-mail message, you receive the following SMTP error message:
550 Sender verify failed
This error message occurs when the sender e-mail account does not exist in cPanel, or when the domain's MX entry records are misconfigured in cPanel.
For example, suppose you add a parked domain, an addon domain, or even an entire cPanel account (if you are a reseller). If the domain's MX records (as set at the domain registrar) point to an external e-mail provider, you must also configure the MX entries in cPanel to use the external e-mail provider. Additionally, in cPanel you must create the e-mail accounts that you want to use to send messages.
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
Make sure the domain is configured to use the remote e-mail provider.

Collections: 5 String PJ Bass Pickups
This set combines the best characteristics of our standard P with the earnest clarity of the NJ5FS. The hum-canceling qualities of these pickups in congruence with each other's tonal structure creates a dynamic amalgam of P/J versatility. The neck position distributes a full bodied and resonant 60s & 70s tone, while the bridge cuts through with its genuine growl and piercing lucidity. This P/J combination will give presence and clear cut articulation to any player's style, providing a tone that asserts these pickups' character through a steady study of their fluid interactivity.

Alnico III magnets differ from Alnico V in that they are warmer with a softer character. Think of them like a 60's J style sound taken even further down the warm and fat path. Alnico V by contrast is brighter, cleaner and punchier, and will have a more wiry, stringy character. As another example, we'd recommend A3 for fretless or a fat 60's Jaco type thing and A5 is great for a modern slap type thing or an R and B sound.
Alnico V comes standard.

WiMax Pushes Out Of The Nest In Baltimore
In the commercial U.S. debut of a technology central to the wireless strategies of Comcast and Time Warner Cable, Sprint Nextel last week launched WiMax broadband wireless service in its first market, Baltimore.
Sprint's Xohm service (pronounced "zome"), which provides average download speeds of 2 to 4 Megabits per second, is designed to be either a wireline broadband replacement or a mobile Internet service.
|

Broadband Unplugged

 Sprint and Clearwire are teaming on WiMax:
Investment partners: Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Bright House Networks, Intel, Google

With the Baltimore launch, Sprint intends to test price points and customer uptake to inform rollouts in other markets, spokesman John Polivka said.
But the task of building WiMax into a national service will fall to a different entity: Sprint expects to merge its WiMax operations with broadband wireless provider Clearwire in the fourth quarter to form a new company.
The combined company, to use the Clearwire name, will receive $3.2 billion in additional investment from Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Bright House Networks, Intel and Google.
This is act two for the three MSOs on a major wireless-business initiative with Sprint. The first time around, things ended badly, with the disbanding earlier this year of Pivot, the mobile-phone service provided by Sprint that the MSOs tried to resell.
What's different this time: the cable partners in the Clearwire venture will wholesale WiMax service and will be able to offer different retail price points and plans.
When the WiMax joint venture was announced in May, Comcast CEO Brian Roberts said the deal "puts in place very attractive wholesale relationships for access to Sprint's existing 3G and Clearwire's 4G networks, giving us complete flexibility to introduce wireless mobility, in terms of product innovation and deployment."
Sprint's Baltimore launch comes about five months later than its previous April target. That's because the carrier had to build out backhaul capacity to meet the capacity provided by the WiMax access network in the city, according to Polivka.
"You don't want to connect a fire hose to the equivalent of a garden hose," he said.
Sprint connected the 180 WiMax base stations from Samsung Electronics to the Internet using primarily microwave backhaul links.
Analysts noted WiMax still has a two-year head start on competitors AT&T and Verizon Wireless, which have cast their lot with a rival wireless broadband technology, Long Term Evolution (LTE).
If Sprint is successful with WiMax, "this could be a big booster for a company that has struggled over the last few years," independent telecom analyst Jeff Kagan wrote in a research note last week.
Sprint's pricing plans for WiMax service in Baltimore include a $10-per-day pass; $25 per month for home Internet service ($35 after a six-month introductory period); and $30 per month for mobile service ($45 after six months).
In addition, Sprint is offering a $50 per month "for life" option covering two different WiMax devices.
Sprint also launched a customizable Web site, called MyXohm, which will focus on local services and entertainment content.
Customers will need WiMax-based cards to receive the service. Sprint said Xohm-branded cards from Samsung ($59.99) and ZyXel Communications ($79.99) are available now, with additional WiMax devices — such as notebook PCs that use Intel's Centrino 2 WiMax chips — expected to be on the market later this year.
The wireless carrier has not said when it plans to launch commercial service in other areas, but has identified the next two markets as Chicago and Washington. Those will be followed by Boston, Providence, R.I., Philadelphia, Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas.
Last week, Motorola announced that its WiMax equipment had passed Sprint's network acceptance tests in Chicago, where the companies have deployed nearly 600 WiMax base stations.
Nationwide, Sprint's Xohm WiMax network will use the 2.5-Gigahertz spectrum holdings that were combined in the Sprint and Nextel merger.
Clearwire, meanwhile, has been testing WiMax in one market — Portland, Ore. — and plans to upgrade the rest of its approximately 50 U.S. markets to mobile WiMax. Clearwire, founded in 2003, uses a proprietary technology similar to WiMax to deliver service to existing customers.

When I hear the word Nike, I picture bulked-up athletes and jocks running back and forth on some basketball court sweating and panting. Never would I imagine anything by Nike having to do with the delicate, graceful art of ballet dancing. You can only imagine my shock when I found the Nike name in reference to a possible "concept" design called the Nike Arc Angel; a rubbery-looking, banded shoe that appears quite scary in the advertisements.
The Modernization Of Pointe Shoe Construction May Be Too Much For Traditionalists
What would Pavlova, Fonteyn, Vaganova and Ulanova think about pointe shoes made by a company like Nike? Although the concept may be appealing to younger dancers who are used to the rapid changes of the high-tech world, this is going a bit far.
The End Of Ballerina Magic-Is It Near?
The Arc Angel is advertised as a footwear solution for easing impact during pointe training. It has installed bands that are supposed to train the foot into position. Ballerinas have been enjoying ( okay, not exactly enjoying) impact for hundreds of years. One of the aspects of professional ballet training is to pull up and out of your shoes to ease the impact. Should Gellows, Ouch Pouches and lambs wool retailers be concerned?
A Ballet Dancer Is An Athlete, But In A Magical Sort Of Way
Anyone who follows the world of professional ballet understands how advanced the choreography is these days. A ballerina has to perform increasingly difficult physical moves. The magical part is the illusion she brings to the stage that is one of delicateness, lightness and grace when she is really a very strong and sturdy person.
Will Professional Dance Companies Allow Training With The Arc Angel?
Even though these shoes may not grace the stage of The Bolshoi Theatre, one has to ask if a professional instructor from a traditional academy will allow something like this for serious students. Choosing black and blue as the shades of choice when we are speaking about impact may be something to rethink.
As a pink-satin-loving girly girl, the black rubber/blue band look is indeed heart-breaking. I might be a little less heart-broken if they came in a pretty shade of ballerina pink. What about you? Any thoughts about this design?

the mos eisley cantina pop-up book
Adam and I found The Mos Eisley Cantina Pop-Up Book (1995) this afternoon at a used bookstore on Capitol Hill. There's actually only one pop-up page (that's a good thing because in my experience pop-up books are always fun to look at but they never hold together well)- at the very end you'll find a detailed scene from the Cantina. You can press a button to hear an electronically googly version of Figrin D'an and his band! When Adam and I played the song a few times for amusement, a clerk in the store hopped around the corner with a big grin on her face, excited we'd discovered her favorite new book in the store. The Mos Eisley Cantina Pop-Up Book was illustrated by the legendary Ralph McQuarrie. And there are some fairly interesting vignettes of obscure characters like Momaw Nadon (Hammerhead) and Wuher (the bartender)……
Interestingly, Kevin J. Anderson co-wrote some of the Dune prequels (I just bought the original Dune, I'm not that familiar with all the other Dune books).
Today, Adam told me I eat too much ice cream.

Lily Allen makes dig at music industry after fans question album delay
Lily Allen has hinted there may be trouble with her new album No Shame.
Lily's last release was 2014's Sheezus, which hit the top of the U.K. albums chart, though received mixed reviews from critics.
The singer announced in January (18) that she was gearing up to release No Shame in "early summer 2018", though a cryptic Twitter post has left fans wondering if there are problems with the 32-year-old's new music.
"When people ask why my album is taking so long," she tweeted on Tuesday (27Feb18), next to a link to a Guardian article titled "Madonna and Grimes lay bare cost of creative freedom for female artists".
Over the weekend both Madonna and Canadian musician Grimes took to social media to vent their frustrations at the current state of the music industry.
Underneath a video of music trailblazer Madonna, her manager Guy Oseary marked the 20th anniversary of her album Ray of Light by posting a glowing tribute to the record.
"Can you help me now please!!" Madonna commented, before adding: "Remember when I made records with other artists from beginning to end and I was allowed to be a visionary and not have to go to song writing camps where no one can sit still for more than 15 minutes."
Grimes had a similar outburst, writing online that she was working on two albums, "One final album for my s**t label", followed by another "on a label of my choosing".
The 29-year-old is signed to independent label 4AD, and recently hit out at her management in a now-deleted tweet to a fan.
"indie music is more about egos than money. if u hurt someone's ego, they don't mind forgoing what you are potentially worth to them to take u down (sic)," she fumed.

In small business news that employees and bosses should both enjoy, the latest results of the Office Depot Small Business Index show that with warm weather comes a more relaxed feel in the office.
Overall, 48 percent of small business owners said they plan on taking a vacation this summer, and 64 percent of the owners surveyed said they have flexible working hours in the summer months.
Working remotely is on the rise as well, as 66 percent of the survey's respondents said they were allowed to conduct their job duties away from the office. Most of the people who work remotely, or about 85 percent, work from home and 32 percent do it from a summer vacation spot. Even with being away from the office, 40 percent of those that work remotely say they work the same hours, and 21 percent said they work more hours when remote.
Network Solutions' website said that summer hours can be a good lift for employees. For example, the site said employees are "supercharged" to get their weeks' work done if they get Friday afternoons off.

William H. Hastie
For over 40 years, the University of Wisconsin Law School's William H. Hastie Fellowship Program has provided aspiring scholars an outstanding opportunity to prepare for a career in law teaching. The Fellowship reflects a commitment to diversity and inclusion in the legal profession and especially encourages applications from candidates of color and other underrepresented communities in the legal academy. The Hastie Fellowship is a two-year program. Fellows pursue a scholarly agenda of their choice, typically prepare two pieces for publication, and receive mentoring in both their teaching and scholarly work.
The University of Wisconsin established the Hastie Fellowship in 1973. It honors William H. Hastie (1904-1976), a lawyer, teacher, jurist and civil rights advocate who championed the importance of high-quality legal education. University of Wisconsin Law School Professor James E. Jones, Jr. (1924-2014), well-known as a leading expert in labor law and as the architect of several significant programs aimed at achieving greater racial equality in the work force, was a moving force in creating this program.
The Program
The Hastie Fellowship Program encourages scholarship in the full range of law studies. Wisconsin has a particularly strong tradition supporting studies of the law in action and interdisciplinary work. Fellows are encouraged to take full advantage of long-established ties between the law faculty and faculty in other disciplines, and they will have access to the vast resources of the entire University.
Each Hastie Fellow, before beginning work, establishes a relationship with a faculty member who will serve as the Fellow's principal research advisor. The fellow may also be paired with a second mentor and will have many opportunities to engage with additional members of the faculty, including members of the Hastie Fellowship Committee.
Hastie Fellows devote the majority of their time to their own research agenda, researching and writing scholarly articles with support from a faculty advisor and the Hastie Fellowship Committee. Typically, a Fellow prepares two publishable articles during their time in residence, and relies upon these articles in their applications for law teaching positions. Hastie Fellows can also receive an LL.M degree based upon the scholarly work they complete during the fellowship.
Another important aspect of the Hastie Fellowship Program is helping each Fellow develop strong teaching skills. Fellows have opportunities to observe teaching in their subjects of interest and discuss strategies with faculty members. In addition, Fellows typically elect to teach a course or seminar in their area of interest in the final semester of the program.
Fellows are also encouraged to become involved in the rich intellectual and social community of the Law School. For example, Fellows are welcome to attend faculty workshops, colloquia, and social gatherings; to engage with the many scholars and public officials who visit the Law School each year; and to participate in a range of student-sponsored activities.
Fellowship Term
The term and internal sequence of the Hastie Fellowship Program are designed to accommodate the needs for intensive research and writing, participation in the hiring process of law schools, and gaining teaching experience. Hastie Fellows will be appointed for a term of two years. During the term of the appointment, Fellows are required to be in residence in Madison and enrolled at the University of Wisconsin Law School, with a commitment to participating fully in the life of the Law School.
The first year of the program is devoted primarily to scholarship. By the fall of the second year, Fellows should be sufficiently advanced in their research to submit their applications to the law teaching market. The final semester in residence focuses on providing, whenever possible, a teaching experience and finishing the Fellow's publications.
Application Process
The goal of the Hastie Fellowship Program is to contribute to diversity and inclusion in American law school teaching based on experience in and understanding of this country. For that reason, the Hastie Fellowship Committee strongly prefers applicants who have substantial life experience in the United States and whose basic law degree is from an accredited American law school.
Application materials are not currently being accepted. Please check back in September 2020 for information on applying for the Fall 2021 Hastie Fellowship Program.
Deadline for Fall 2019: February 1, 2019
To apply for the Hastie Fellowship Program, an applicant should submit the following to the Graduate Programs Office:
- Personal statement: Please explain your interest in legal scholarship and teaching. Please include how your participation would contribute to the Program's goals of increasing diversity and inclusion in the legal academy.
- Resume or curriculum vitae
- Research proposal: Please describe, in two to three single-spaced pages, the research you plan to pursue during the Hastie Fellowship. In addition to describing your general research interests, the proposal should identify two specific scholarly works that you expect to develop during your time in residence.
- Two or three letters of reference
- Official transcripts from all higher education institutions attended
Applicants should email their personal statement, resume, and research proposal in PDF format to the Graduate Programs Office at email@example.com.
Letters of reference and official transcripts should be mailed to the Graduate Programs Office using the following address:

975 Bascom Mall, Room 3222
Madison, WI 53706-1399
Remuneration and Support Services
Fellows are provided a stipend, currently at $40,000/year, which is increased from time to time to reflect the local cost of living, and a research support fund (currently $4,000 per year for each year of the fellowship). Complete fringe benefits are available for a modest cost and may include medical insurance, dental care, and life insurance.
In addition to the stipend, the Law School furnishes support services. Each Fellow is provided a private office. A desktop computer and printer are provided, as are office supplies and photocopying.
