I also want to express my gratitude to Marlin Awards for nominating me in 3 different categories on my album #Changes. To be awarded the DJ Vocal Performance of the Year for the song "No to Sin", featuring DJ Nicholas; Dancehall Recording of the Year for the song "My Heart", featuring Amoy Sadler and Music Video of the Year - Male for the song "More Than A Conqueror" is really a tremendous honour. Thank you so much for noticing my efforts and for nominating me.
More importantly, I want to thank my wife Simone Chantelle and all the features on my album. You deserve high praise for the way you've supported me and I really appreciate all of you. Without God and you all, the album wouldn't be great and I wouldn't be where I am today.
Lastly, a big thank you to my managing director Gideon Affleck for his encouragement and tremendous support as always. Not forgetting to say a big thank you to all the radio DJ's locally and internationally for playing my songs worldwide.
Every blessing!

A drive through Death Valley National Park is always in our family road trip list but timing is tricky with our big family schedule.
Spring break is the best time to see the fleeting spring wildflowers in their peak blooming splendor from mid-March through early May, and the mild temperature of winter through spring will be conducive for hiking.
On the other hand, going hiking in the park in the summertime will not be good because of the blistering summer heat that could be in the high 100 to mid 120 degrees Fahrenheit, thus making it dangerous for heat stroke and dehydration.
We had the opportunity to visit the park in February, and we enjoyed the mild weather but unfortunately, we did not see much of the wildflowers.
I mapped out our route in advance so we could save time and maximize our visit. We started our road trip from LA, stayed 1 night at Stovepipe Wells Village Hotel which is inside the park and ended in a 3-night stay in Las Vegas and then back home.
It was a well-planned road trip but staying for 2 nights/ 3 days inside Death Valley National Park would allow us to visit all the must do attractions we planned on visiting, but since we only stayed for 1 night, we missed some beautiful spots.
We did not foresee the longer time it will take to actually get to the attraction sites because of the unpaved roads that slowed visitors when not driving an off road vehicle.
Of note, Death Valley National Park is in the remote desert and there are no stores and dining options for miles and miles in this vast park.
If children are with you, bring lunch or dinner and have a picnic in one of the attraction sites and bring more snacks and water. We bought our lunch in Lancaster, California and we had a picnic at the Darwin Falls Trail parking lot, and that was after about 4 hours of driving.
The only places inside the park that offer full service with food and fuel and lodging are the Panamint Springs Resort, the Stovepipe Wells Village and Furnace Creek and they are miles apart.
The must do attractions we visited as we drove through Death Valley National Park
West Park Entrance. We entered the park driving along CA 190 E from LA and we grabbed the opportunity of having photos at the west park entrance.
Father Crowley Vista Point. This stop over was not in our itinerary but this attraction is hard to miss as you drive along CA 190 E. It was about 4.5 miles from the west park entrance and the parking is just right off the highway.
This vista point gives you a panoramic view of the west end of Death Valley, and as you look down from the vista point, you can see the Rainbow Canyon created by lava flow and you can see the amazing view of the Panamint Valley as you walk over the east side of the parking lot.
Darwin Falls. From Father Crowley Vista Overlook, we drove about 7 miles along CA 190 E , turned right into a 2.5 miles of unpaved road to Darwin Falls. Darwin Falls is a small falls and is beautiful in its own right. It is an oasis miracle in this dry desert and that is why you should visit this must do attraction in the park.
The falls is the only permanent fresh water supply in Death Valley and is near the Panamint Springs Resort. We saw sedans driving through but a high clearance vehicle will be better.
The hike is about 1 mile one way with stream crossings, scaling up and over boulders and no swimming allowed. It was the most fun hike for the children!
We got back to the parking lot from Darwin Falls late and so we decided to drive about 43 miles along CA 190 E, and turned right into a 1.5 miles of unpaved road to Salt Creek Interpretive Trail, instead of visiting the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes for sunset.
Salt Creek Interpretive Trail. The trail is made up of 0.5 mile long loop of ADA accessible wooden boardwalk and it is accessible all year round. Salt Creek is the only home of the endangered Salt Creek Pupfish and there are interpretive signs along the boardwalk about the pupfish.
The area is part of a dried up massive lake from thousands of years ago and the saltiness of the water is from the salt concentrates as a result of the gradual and continuous evaporation of water.
Stovepipe Wells Village. From Salt Creek, we drove about 11 miles along CA 190 W to Stovepipe Wells Village Hotel for the night. Stovepipe Wells is a small village inside Death Valley National Park with a hotel, 2 restaurants, a general store and a gas station. And the gas was cheap despite the remoteness of the area, it was less than $3 a gallon!
Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes. Only 3 miles from Stovepipe Wells Village is the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes and the parking lot is right off the Ca 190 E. We headed to the dunes around 6 AM so we can be there for the amazing sunrise. We later came back to the dunes with the children as we continued our adventure through the park towards Las Vegas.
Harmony Borax Interpretive Trail. We then continued driving about 24 miles along CA 190 E to this old borax mining site that was built in 1882. They established the 20 mule teams to carry the refined borax about 165 miles across the dessert to the Mojave Rail Road.
The borax mining was only operational for about 5 years because of the high cost of operation and the borax discoveries in other parts of California.
The graveled trail is only about 0.4 mile loop with some interpretive signs in different parts with the exhibit. It was a quick stop and we finished within 45 minutes.
We did not see the Furnace Creek Borax Museum because the children were hungry and now becoming impatient and wanted to go back to the civilization after almost 2 days of driving across the dessert. So we went to the Furnace Creek Visitor Center instead which is only about 1.5 miles away, still driving along CA 190 E.
Furnace Creek Visitor Center. The Furnace Creek Visitor Center was built in 1959 and the facility has modern amenities. This is where you also pay the $25 park entrance fee that is good for a 7 day period for 1 noncommercial vehicle. The visitor center has small museum of the area and you can watch a 20 minute movie about the history of Death Valley through out the day.
The visitor center provides information about the park, the attraction sites and the wild life. It also have a gift shop for souvenirs and a variety of to go sandwiches, snacks and drinks. Be sure to buy your food here because from here, there is nowhere else to buy food with in at least 24 miles aside from the nearby Oasis hotel.
Mushroom Rock. The Mushroom Rock is not in the list of Death Valley National Park attractions to protect it from human interference, but you can see it as you drive along CA 190 E, into Badwater Road and it is on the left side of the road, about 5.8 miles from the Furnace Creek Visitor Center.
From the Mushroom Rock, we headed southwest along Badwater Road towards Artist Drive. Artist Drive is a 4.6 miles of one way winding and narrow but paved road. It was a slow and relaxing drive and then you pull into a good size parking lot and there was a toilet in this site.
The Artist Palette. The Artist Palette is a multi-color rock formation in Artist Drive as a result of chemical weathering and hydrothermal alterations of volcanic rocks. Our pictures did not do justice in showing the beauty of this attraction.
The Badwater Basin. The Badwater basin covers about 200 square miles of protected salt flats and it is the lowest point in North America at about 282 feet below sea level. It was an experience walking in the salt pan and being in this phenomenal place. I walked about 1 mile into the field and the temperature was over 80 degrees in the middle of winter. I considered the visit to this place as the highlight of this family road trip!
On the side of the road just before you walk into the salt flat is a small spring fed pool that is salty and undrinkable, thus the name "badwater".
By this time the children are all cranky and just wants to leave for Las Vegas. We loaded up and headed 17.5 miles along CA 190 E towards the eastern part of Death Valley to visit the last attraction for the day, the Zabriskie Point, which is also along the way to Las Vegas.
Zabriskie Point. As you pull into the big paved parking lot, a beautiful landscape of different hues of yellow and brown greets you. Zabriskie Point is the remnant of the dried up Furnace Creek Lake 5 million years ago leaving this amazing landscape behind. You can appreciate the magnificent view as you walk the paved pathway up the hill with plenty of picture perfect spots on both sides.
From Zabriskie Point, we then headed to Las Vegas and we welcomed the craziness of Sin City after being in the wilderness for 2 days. And of course the children loved the buffet meals that they were so looking forward to after a day of eating sandwiches.
These are attractions in our itinerary that we missed because we ran out of time and because of the unpaved roads to these attractions.
Devil's Golf Course. Devil's Golf Course is not an actual golf course but a vast salt field with large salt clumps.
Mosaic Canyon. This attraction has 2.6 hike round trip up to the boulder jam and it would be wonderful to see the polished and colorful marbled canyon walls as a result of countless flash floods in the area millions of years ago.
Natural Bridge Canyon. I can say it is my sad regret driving to Death Valley and was unable to see the Natural Bridge. It is only a 1 mile hike round trip to see the bridge but to get to the trail is a drive through 13.5 miles of unpaved road. The natural bridge is a result of countless floods into the area millions of years ago.
Dante's View. I saved this attraction for last because I would like to see a beautiful sunset from this vista point. Dante's View is 3,000 feet above Badwater and it will be amazing to see the views of death valley below. But the parking lot is undergoing a makeover when we visited and no one is allowed access.
A drive through Death Valley National Park is definitely a must do road trip for everyone who loves to see beautiful natural landscapes, at least once in your lifetime. And as I mentioned, as you drive through like we did, it will be best to stay at least two nights to give you more time to see most of the attractions.
If you start your journey from the west end like we did, you should stay one night at Stovepipe Wells Village Hotel to see the attractions nearby and the next night at the Oasis Death Valley. This way you will not be driving back and forth and you will save time.
But you can also go camping as there are a number of camping sites in the park, or RV through or just revisit the park again in the future.
There are a number of other attractions and hike spots not mentioned in this article. For more information, please visit https://www.nps.gov/deva/index.htm
As for me and Jorge, we will definitely go back in the future, just the two of us and we will take our time and visit each of the attractions we missed and more!

The top stories of September from DGS and the road transport field, right here for you.
We start this month's top stories with a sunny back-to-work season. Actually, we sincerely hope that our advices on how to get back to work smoothly have been helpful !
The transport sector has been experiencing a regular growth recently, and so did DGS with the announcement of new partnerships with two major european companies :
- Europa with whom DGS will link to the United Kingdom in the shorter delays,
- Bianchi for first-class lines from an to Italy .
We often remind it to you ; DGS is a family business, independent and held at human scale. Who better than our employees to tell you about their role in our main service ? (Re)discover our 24h distribution service in Ile-de-France in this video in which our employees are the storytellers.
This month has been lively for the transport sector, namely with this study published by the Land Development and Urban Planning Institute of Ile-de-France, and also a pact in favor of the enhancement of Paris' future metropolis.
September came with some shades, though. A vignette is in talks and might arrive in early 2019 to tax all trucks on french roads.
Finally, we shall end this month's top stories with the showcase of this concept vehicle , quite radical and intended to operate in highly-repetitive conditions.
See you in a few weeks for another month's top stories !

I can't right now, though.
I have no monetary income except the EBT that the state gives me and the pennies I can squeeze out of my husband for bills or *gasp* ... Diapers.
(I am honestly so looking forward to the day when both my girls are completely potty trained so that never again do I have to hear 'again? You just bought them!')
Hopefully the temporary motion will get me a little more cash flow so I don't have to
Given he actually adheres to the motion and isn't a typical jackass like so many men, I should be receiving a decent little chunk of change every month. Definitely nothing to live off of long term and most definitely not enough for what it takes to raise two children . . . but when does the government ever do anything logically?
I get a friggin motherload on EBT for myself and my two toddler daughters but I get about $200 less in child support. Does that makes sense? ((shrugs))
In any case, after some stressful events today dealing with the husband I must admit that I didn't cope well. I controlled my urges to binge. I didn't binge. ((sigh of relief))
But I did a little damage.
I had held it together so well until around 2 o'clock when he texted me about seeing the girls tomorrow and I asked him what time. He has taken to being very selective in which texts he does and doesn't answer. So, after he hadn't responded for almost 20 minutes, I called him. Just. To. Get. A. Time. Bad move on my part. I should never call him.
He was already at work. I could tell by the sounds of the dishes clanging around.
And then I heard a female voice,
'Hola Arturin, como estas," and a distinct sound of a kiss (probably a cheek or air kiss as his culture is accustomed to . . . at least I'm hoping) near the phone and then his response in an overly flirtatious tone and he continued this little conversation while I am sitting on the phone waiting for the simple answer about when he was going to come see the girls. Then! He has the nerve to hang up on me without saying anything more to me.
So, regardless of whether I am divorcing the guy or not, it still stings. I did love him. On some level I think I still do. He is my girls' father and what I thought was the person I would spend forever with, so yeah it stings.The purposeful flirtatiousness while I'm on the phone and maybe it's just because we had so many issues with the intimacy of his female 'friendships' while we were together. I don't know.
Can you tell I am a highly insecure person?? ((That was sarcasm just in case you couldn't read the inflection))
In any case, those insecurities and my own self loathing surfaced.
But I DID NOT binge.
Thank God for some level of self control, even if it was only by the skin of my teeth.
XO Kristen

Parasitic wasp
By far the greater number of wasps (over 100,000 species) are a special type of parasite. They are parasitoids which lay their eggs in or on the caterpillars of other insect species.[1]
Almost every insect pest species has at least one wasp species that preys upon it or parasitizes it. This makes wasps critically important in the natural control of pest numbers (biocontrol). Parasitic wasps are increasingly used in agricultural pest control as they themselves do little or no damage to crops. Farmers buy these parasitic wasps for insect control in their fields.
With most species, the adult parasitic wasps themselves do not get any nutrients from their prey. Much like bees, butterflies, and moths, those which do feed as adults usually get all of their nutrition from nectar.
Parasitic wasps are extremely varied in their habits. Many lay their eggs in inert stages of their host (egg or pupa). If the prey is a caterpillar, they paralyze it by injecting it with venom through their ovipositor. Then they insert one or more eggs into the host or deposit them upon the host externally. The host remains alive until the parasitoid larvae are mature, dying later when the parasitoids pupate, or when they emerge as adults. Basically, the hosts are eaten alive.
The Ichneumonoidea is a superfamily of wasp parasitoids. It has two main families:
- Ichneumonidae: this is by far the largest family. It is a very specific parasite, each species preying on one to two prey species.
- Braconidae: these are more all-round parasites which have a wide range of hosts they can parasitise.
Polydnaviruses are a unique group of insect viruses that have a mutualistic relationship with parasitic wasps.
The virus protects the parasitic larva inside the host by weakening the host's immune system. It also alters the cells of the host in ways which help the parasite. The polydnavirus, like all viruses, need a host to replicate itself. This it does in the oviducts of the female wasp.
The relationship between these viruses and the wasp is obligatory: all individuals are 'infected' with the viruses; the virus has been added to the wasp's genome.[2][3]
The two main genera of polydnaviruses are the Ichnoviruses (IV) and the Bracoviruses (BV). The ichnoviruses occur in ichneumonid wasp species and bracoviruses in braconid wasps.
Host defenceEdit
The victims of parasitoids do have defences they can use. Many try to hide from the wasps. The egg shells and cuticles of the prey are thickened to prevent the wasp from penetrating them. When the wasp arrives, prey may drop off the plant they are on, or twist and thrash to dislodge the female. Some regurgitate onto the wasp to tangle it up. The wriggling can sometimes help by causing the wasp to miss laying the egg on the host and instead place it nearby. Wriggling of pupae can cause the wasp to lose its grip on the smooth hard pupa or get trapped in the silk strands. Some caterpillars bite wasps that approach it. Some secrete poisonous compounds that kill or drive away the parasitoid. Ants that are in a symbiotic relationship with caterpillars, aphids or scale insects defend them from attack by wasps.[4]
Even parasitoid wasps are vulnerable to hyperparasitoid wasps.[5] Some parasitoid wasps change the behaviour of the infected host to build a silk web around the pupa of the wasps after they emerge from its body to protect them from hyperparasitoids.[6]
In endoparasitoids, host immune cells can encapsulate the eggs and larvae of parasitoid wasps. In aphids, a secondary endosymbiont, Buchnera aphidicola carries a latent phage. This phage makes the aphid relatively immune to their parasitoid wasps by killing many of the eggs. However, wasps counter this by laying more eggs in aphids that have the endosymbiont so that at least one of them can hatch and parasitize the aphid.[4]
Certain caterpillars eat plants that are toxic to both themselves and the parasite to cure themselves. Drosophila melanogaster larvae also self-medicate with ethanol to treat parasitism. D. melanogaster females lay their eggs in food containing toxic amounts of alcohol if they detect parasitoid wasps nearby. Despite the alcohol slowing the growth of the flies, it protects them from the wasps.[7]

U.S. President Barack Obama will defend last month's agreement on Iran's nuclear program in a speech at American University in Washington DC today. Obama is expected to argue that the decision before the U.S. Congress on the nuclear deal is the country's most important foreign policy debate since the authorization of the Iraq war.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry received the support of Gulf allies. "We did a nuclear deal. We exclusively looked at how do you take the most immediate threat away from them in order to protect the region. And if we're going to push back against an Iran that is behaving in these ways, it is better to push back on an Iran that doesn't have a nuclear weapons than one that does," said U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in an interview with the Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg.
The U.S. Congress has until September 17, 2015, vote on the deal.

Like many large metropolitan locales in modern day life, New York State is continuously offering more in the area of full-scale digitized formats. This is perfectly logical considering the many huge fringe benefits that digital collections offer that print versions simply can't. Besides not consuming finite quantities of scarce physical space, digital items are not affected by prolonged exposure to external elements over lengthy periods of time. Not to mention being accessible by an infinite number of patrons simultaneously from widely dispersed locations anywhere around the world.
Thus, there's hardly any wonder why the Empire State has taken a leading role by eagerly hopping aboard the bandwagon of electronic content warehouses. To get a little taste of the various goodies and valuable treasures that lie free for the taking inside New York State's digital public library system, read on.
Overview of New York State's digitization project
New York State's Library System first started digitizing official state government documents in 1995. Since then, various collections have steadily grown to encompass a significant number of NY State publications that date back as far as the 18th Century. Moreover, some digital archives contain materials that feature historic subject matter between the 18th and early 20th centuries, such as the Civil and Revolutionary Wars, natural history, Native American culture and New York state laws.
New York Public Library (NYPL)
At last count reported via the NYPL their collections contained an aggregate volume of 847,080 different items. The library further advises visitors that the site is a "living database" with new items added daily that range from prints, to maps, to streaming video and much more.
Although books comprise the 'backbone' of all digitized collections, several databases also contain original reference source materials such as memoirs, letters, rare manuscripts, maps, musical scores and other visual content.
While a vast majority of newer items were 'born digital,' most older selections are scanned versions of print copies maintained in various physical library system facilities. Nevertheless, all digitized items can be freely accessed online, most often as .pdf documents. Below is but a partial sampler of digitized content that is freely available to the general public:
You can find Eye on the Reich among the many photography collections. It is an assortment of propaganda photographs from 1939-1942 that includes vivid illustrations of some of the various kinds of oppressive tactics employed by Nazi Germany.
The NYPL digital collections has a large amount of historical documents from the early days of the founding of the United States of America. Some examples include the Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison papers. The Jefferson papers include tidbit from the entire life of the former president.
On a lighter note you can find a collection of menus that have been digitized and can be searched for by restaurant name or by dish. For example, you can search for all the menus that offered "curry and rice" as a dish and you will find the Occidental & Oriental Steamship as one of the restaurants where this dish was offered.
As the examples above should vividly illustrate, the NY State Digital Public Library affords ready access to explore whatever genealogical, historical, cultural or historical research materials your heart may love the most. So why wait to take full advantage of this free resource? Start planning your next virtual venture to the digital collection at the NYPL this very nanosecond.

Still, still without accolades
And now without legs,
And still hanging around this pretty place
So many decades past your prime.
Never again to kick up the dirt,
Stroll through the lush grass, or,
If you lose a limb a year, never again
Run your hands through the vines.
Who'd blame you now
If you believe that outside of numbers
You don't exist, and that even within,
Your function doesn't always return a value.
We are bitter for you. We can't seem
To untangle you from the long shadows
Of those long ago, late, summer afternoons,
Drag you in from the sun and rain
And let you rest. We know
You're up to your eyeballs with our empathy for you.
We are worse than your disease. More
Relentless than your disease. We want
Immortality for you more than you want it.
We want you enshrined before you go blind.
Your legs and arms are expendable, but
If you're lost in darkness, then we all are.
We want you to see us in the crowd
As you hold your bronze plaque at the hall.
At this point though,
I'm sure you'd trade
All of it: us, the memorabelia and
This pretty place, for one meaningful
Victory late, late in the fall and
A big, fat ring.

I have irresistible appetite what is cooked with dough, I mean I am a pastry lover and this is my weak point on my eating habit. My mother knows very well this weak point of mine and whenever I visit her, she welcomes me with her delicious pastries. Even I watched her hundred times preparing these kind of pastries, I've never dared to use a rolling pin. But finally I decided to take responsibility and to try to prepare one of my favourite pastry which is Börek.
2 eggs, to keep one's yolk,
1 cup Greek yoghurt
1 cup milk
3 tbsp. butter (not melted, but kept outside to be soften)
Half cup of olive oil
800-1000 gr flour
1 tbsp. salt
1 tsp. powder
500 gr. Spinach
1 onion
2-3 pcs garlic
2 grated tomatoes
Spice (chili, mint, pepper, whatever you like)
Put eggs but keep yolk of one to use it later, then add 2 tbsp. butter, oil, milk, yoghurt, salt and mixed it well. I like taste of yoghurt in these kind of pastries, because it makes the dough soft and tasty. When you use yoghurt you can use water instead of milk but I prefer using milk.
Then add slowly flour and powder while mixing it and have a little sticky dough, which you can decide the amount of flour according to dough. It should not stick to your hand but also should not be very hard to move.
When it is ready let it wait with topped wet napkin and then let's start to prepare spinach mixture.
Chop onion and garlic and fry them with oil, before they get brown add grated tomato and cook 4-5 min, then add chopped spinach and cook until it lose water, around 15 min. then add species and let it get warmer.
Then, let's take the dough. I made small pieces from dough like 5-6 cm., later I started to use my lovely rolling pin for the first time and rolled the dough out as thin as I can.
It is tastier when the sheets are very thin. I prepared them one by one, like huge tortilla sheets. When a sheet is ready butter it and spread out spinach mixture on sheet and roll it like a preparing cigarette..
After rolling them I shaped it according to my oven tray. When finish rolling all the dough out wash their surface with yoghurt, later with yolk. Let it to be baked on 200oC, 35 min.
When the surface is red enough it is ready to be served. Turkish tea accompanied to my tasty börek and we were close enough to eat our fingers. It seems that it is not going to be my last recipe with my lovely rolling pin!
Keep your day tasty!

Learn to Use Mac Automator With 6 Handy Example Workflows
Apple's Automator for Mac is where many get their first taste of programming. Before Workflow, before IFTTT, there was Automator for Mac. A little bit of patience and creativity are all you need to start automating your Mac — you don't need to know a single line of code.
These are some example actions you can build that should get you familiar with the various types of things you can build using Automator. With these blueprints, you should be able to get started building your own.
Getting Started With Automator
When you open a new document in Automator, it presents you a few different choices for the file type:
- Workflow — This is the simplest way to use Automator. You set up your actions, and run them from within an Automator window.
- Application — You can run these stand alone. Either processing some data passed to it, or simply kicking off an action.
- Service — Services run in other applications. They can be set up to take a specific kind of input. You then run it from the Services menu in the Application or right click context menus.
- Print Plugins — These are actions that run from the print dialog. They take a PDF document from the print menu and perform your actions.
- Folder Actions — Use these to run an action automatically when you add a file to a folder. This action works similarly to Apple's Automatically add to iTunes folder.
- Calendar Alarms — This is a poor man's cron job How to Schedule Tasks in Linux with Cron and Crontab The ability to automate tasks is one of those futuristic technologies that is already here. Every Linux user can benefit from scheduling system and user tasks, thanks to cron, an easy-to-use background service. Read More . You could go through and make a complex set of recurring tasks for the Mac using the command line. However, Calendar Tasks allow you to use the native Calendar.app to schedule tasks.
- Image Capture Plugin — Photographers using professional cameras need more than the built in Photos app. When you use Image Capture to import a picture from a camera or scanner, you can set up an action to perform as it copies to your Mac.
- Dictation Command — This option uses Accessibility's enhanced Dictation for voice driven workflows. This dictation is not the same as Siri Control Your Mac With Voice Commands & Better Dictation In OS X Yosemite You once needed expensive software and a lesson in patience to control your Mac with your voice, but now you can do it with little more than Apple's latest free upgrade to OS X. Read More and requires a separate download to enable.
When you open Automator, you'll default to the application's iCloud drive folder. Your Workflows and Applications live here, while Services, Plugins, and Folder Actions stay local to your Mac.
We are not going to go through every document type, but will show some easy examples for you to get started with automation.
1. Service: Speak Selected Text
This action is more for practice than practicality. This build is a simple one shot action you are going to use as a system-wide service. You can use this to have your Mac read any text you select aloud. It's also an easy way to do a second proofread of an email before you send it.
Open Automator and select New Document in the file select window. Select the Service type. The Automator window has a three pane layout. On the left, you have the action picker. On the right, you have your workflow actions and at the bottom your variables. Select the Text category to filter the list, and drag Speak Text into the main area.
Then because this is a service, you need to select what input it takes. Make sure that the Service receives selected drop-down is set to text, and the in drop-down is set to Any Application.
Save your new service as Speak Text. Now you can select text in any application right click and go to the Services entry, and you should see your action. Select it, and the Alex voice reads the text to you.
Next Steps — You can play with different voices to change the way this sounds.
2. Calendar Alarm: Get a Weekly Schedule Summary
In this example, Automator is going to set a Calendar event that gives you an alert with your upcoming weekly Calendar Events. When opening a new document, choose Calendar Alarm for your workflow type.
Select the Calendar category. Drag Find Calendar Events into your workflow. Leave Events and All set, but change Any Content to Date Starting. Then, the second box should change to a drop-down. For this example, choose weekly. However, when putting this into practice, you may want a daily summary if you have a busy calendar 5 of the Best Mac Calendar Apps & Add-Ons There are plenty of great third-party apps that serve as a replacement for your Mac's Calendar application, or as add-ons to take it to the next level. Here are our favorites. Read More .
Next, drag over Event Summary. You should see an arrow connecting your two actions. As you make Automator actions, this is your visual clue that your actions connect to each other and produce your intended result.
Now, click on the Utility category. In this list drag over Set Variable, which defaults to New Variable. In the dialog, name your variable: Event Text. Then drag in Display Notification. In the title name it: Upcoming Events. Drag your Event Text variable from the bottom into the Messages: field.
Click run and a notification pops with your calendar events for this week. The notifications might be a bit tight for all your text. You may need to resize the window to see all your events. Once you're happy, save the file and name it Upcoming Events in the dialog and click Save.
Calendar.app will open, showing an event with the name of workflow on Today's entries. Edit the event to repeat each Monday when you start your day, or the time it is most convenient for you.
Next Steps — You can add a step to scrape all your upcoming Reminders for the week. Setting that to a second variable allows for you to display it in the same notification.
3. Application: Resize Photos and Export to Desktop
Resizing your Photos to export them is not a complex process How to Resize Images on Mac Using Photos or Preview Looking to resize images on your Mac? Here's how to resize images using Preview, Photos, and even alternative apps like Mail. Read More . However, with Automator, you can shorten that to a few clicks.
This time when you click New Document, select Application. Click on the Photos category, and drag Ask For Photos into the workspace. Then, drag Scale Images over. Automator pops a warning that this action changes images, and wants to know if you want to add a step that saves the changes files to a new location. Click Add to continue. Under the Scale Images, click Options. Select the Show this action when the workflow runs.
When you run this Application, a window with a minimal version of your Photos library opens. Select a photo and click Choose, another window pops up asking for the width of the image. Enter the width and click Continue. There is now a copy of the file resized, saved to your Desktop. If you would rather resize to a percentage rather than pixels, you can select that in the drop-down in the final step.
Next Steps — There are plenty of actions that you can do with Photos. Experiment with changing the last action of this workflow to cropping, changing the file type, and adding a watermark.
4. Dictation Command: Record Screens With Your Voice
Quicktime has a built-in screen recording option. These recordings come in handy when making training documents for work, or helping friends out with their tech problems. Simplifying the process down to a voice command makes it very simple.
When choosing a new document select Dictation Command, then click Choose. In the Dictation Command field type, Start Screen Recording. Be sure to click the Command Enabled checkbox. Then go to the Movies category, and drag in New Screen Capture, Start Capture, and Stop Capture.
Click on Options for Stop Capture and check Show this action when the workflow runs.
Once you save the app, enable Enhanced Dictation How To Dictate Writing On Your Mac: Apple's Dictation vs DragonDictate For a long time if you wanted or needed to use a speech-to-text dictation program on your Mac, your only choices were MacSpeech Dictate (now defunct) and Nuance's DragonDictate. But with the release of Mountain... Read More by going to the Keyboard pane in System Preferences. Then click on the Dictation tab and turn on Dictation. Next, click the checkbox for Enhanced Dictation. After a brief wait (the download needs to complete), your action is now available. Press Fn twice to activate dictation. Say Start Screen Recording and Quicktime opens and starts recording. There is a dialog displayed to Stop the recording with Continue highlighted. Hide this and finish your recording.
When your video is complete, bring the dialog back to the front and click Continue. The action throws an error, but your recording is now available in Quicktime. Use the Trim option to shave off the beginning and the end of the video to hide the Stop dialog,
Next Steps — Enhanced Dictation enables you to set up a voice command for any Automator action.
5. Folder Action: Automatically Add ePubs to iBooks
Using the Automatically Add to iTunes folder is an easy way to add content to iTunes. Since iBooks broke out into a separate app, it has never had a simple of a way of adding files (on the Mac, at least). If you get an epub book outside of iBooks Read Feedly Offline: Download Unread Items To An Ebook The Google News downloading service NewsToEbook now works with Feedly. With it you can download your unread items from Feedly to an EPUB or MOBI ebook file. Read More , adding it to the folder specified in the workflow below copies it to your library, and syncs it to iCloud.
Before you begin, create a new folder in your home folder named: Automatically Add to iBooks. When you open a new Automator document, select Folder Action. In the Folder Action receives files and folders added to drop-down, select Other. Go to the folder you created and highlight it. Then click Choose. Next, choose the Files & Folder category, and move the Get Folder Contents action into the main area. Check the Repeat for each subfolder added.
Then drag over the Move Finder Items over. In the To drop-down, select Other. The target is going to be: /Users/userprofile/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books, replacing userprofile with your username on the Mac.
If you do not see your Library folder, we have a tutorial on how to enable it How To Access The OS X Library Folder & Why It's Handy Most OS X Library folders are best left alone, but it's useful to know your way in and around the User Library. Read More . Finally, drag Open Finder Items into the main area, and in the Open With drop-down select iBooks.app. When you copy a PDF into the Folder, it now saves to your iBooks library and opens the iBooks Application.
Next Steps — Folder Action all the things. If you are digging two or three layers deep in Finder, create higher level folders to move items automatically. This Automator setup can save you tons of time.
6. Service: Send Webpage Text to iBooks
Now that we have a way to add ePub files from outside the iBooks store, what about other documents? Well if you want a PDF, you can go to the Print menu and save a PDF to iBooks. The problem there is that you end up wasting space on images. What if you want to save only the text of an article? Here is an action to let you do that.
Choose Service when opening Automator. At the top, change the Services Receives drop-down to No Input. Under the in drop-down, change it to Any Application. Select the internet category and then drag the Get Current Webpage action over. Then, grab the Get Text from Webpage as well.
Now switch to the Text category, and drag in New Text File. Change the File Format to Rich Text. Then in the Save As field name your file iBooksStopOff.rtf. In the Where field you can leave it as Desktop if you do not mind having the placeholder file visible. Otherwise, switch it in your Documents folder.
Finally, drag over the Text To ePub action. You can leave most of it at the defaults. Click Options and make sure to check Show this action when the workflow runs. To make sure your new ePub file gets added to your iBooks library, switch the Where drop-down to Other. In the file window, choose the folder we created in the last step: Automatically Add to iBooks.
When you run the service (from the right-click Services menu), it grabs the current page in Safari The Best Safari Extensions for Mac Users Safari is probably the best browser for Mac users, but you can make it even better with a few well-chosen extensions. Read More . If you have multiple tabs open it always takes the active tab. The action then scrapes the text and replaces the placeholder file. That converts to an ePub, and then it saves it to that folder, which moves it to your iBooks library and opens it in the app.
Next Steps — You can create a similar service to scrape the images and save them from a web page. You can convert this Service to work with selected text from any app rather than the current Safari page. Services are powerful ways to take in data from an app and process it in another app. Experiment with data types like text and images to find creative ways to save yourself time. Turn selected text into reminders or calendar events. You could grab a photo and save it right to your Photos library, or go a step further and move it to an album.

This one actually started on Monday. There is no way we could have done all this in one day including the drive down and back.
On the road into Williamsburg...
Just a random sheep who lives there, because he was looking at me.
The thing about this picture is really the tree. When I was a kid, we had one of these trees in the backyard. I have no idea what kind of tree it is and I'd never seen another until this one. Ours was huge and we called it the "bean tree". We used to spend whole days playing in that tree and picking the beans. We thought (as kids) they were poisonous. Could be true, maybe.
The branches of this tree go all the way to the ground which makes the whole tree sort of umbrella shaped. Kind of interesting, I thought.
Crepe Myrtle
Jac is still at the age he'll pose in front of anything. He looks like a refugee here. In his defense, it was raining.
Dramatic much?
Ryan hates Chinese buffet restaurants. I don't mind them. The kids can't get enough of them. As such, I try to get those thrills out of the way when he isn't with us. These were our fortunes. The top one was mine. Umm...I'm going to Illinois for my next adventure. Is that what exotic means? Alicia got the middle one. Jac talks in riddles, so pretty sure that cookie was meant for him. Jac's in the last one. Ha. I call a "do-over".
You should know this is the summer where Jac evidently is buying into "big sister advice". You know, about bathing and such. That he should. Bathe, that is. The other thing about Jac is staying at hotels ranks right up there on his list of things he likes to do most. Do I need to mention he has to mess with everything in the room? Hair dryer included. Sometimes, I forget how freakin' cute he is.
William & Mary
What you should know about me is I'm not the kind of parent that buys into that whole "Let's drive around the world and look at colleges" business. But, we were there and she wanted to see it. They took us on a two hour tour. Truth be told, I love it (and was originally going to do my Master's there...a million years ago, before we decided to live in Maryland instead of Virginia). The other truth be told, it's a pipedream. They only accept 1/3 of applicants and 2/3 of those have to be from Virginia. I bought her a t-shirt anyway. Who knows?
"Wren Building"...the oldest college building in the United States. Thomas Jefferson studied here. Seriously? How could anyone not want to go to college here?
It's goes without saying I had to do the whole "Well...I guess we aren't leaving until you let me get a picture" bit?

I can't believe this adorable girl is four already! And, each year, she looks more and more like her brother and sister (they are all unbelievably cute!).
Here are a few of my favorites from her recent session. Enjoy!
This next image is my favorite. So cute!

This little guy just turned one and he is a bundle of energy (aren't they all though?). His mom, dad and grandma brought him up from western Kansas and I had a blast capturing his adorable little face and his big personality! He is one of the smiliest children that I have ever worked with.
Here are just a few of my favorites from the day. Happy first birthday Kyden! So so cute!
He was way more interested in mutilating the blue puffs than he was in the cake!

My, what a whirlwind few weeks it has been. I've shot around 20 sessions in about a week and a half! And they have all been so different from one to the other—we've had business headshots, a session for images to promote an upcoming TV series, family sessions, group shots, a first birthday, a fourth birthday, Miss Haskell and several stunning Epiphany sessions. Whew. I need a nap.
Here are a handful of my favorites from a recent 30-minute session. These quick sessions are a great way to get an updated family or child image—without you feel overwhelmed with choices. And this mama has been talking about getting her family in here since her youngest son was three or four (he's 10 now!), so I am so excited that we finally made it happen! They're a good looking family!

Another fabulous Epiphany session! I'm so glad Desiree decided to jump in front of my camera for one of our Epiphany mini-sessions. She is also one of the amazing hair and makeup artists that I work with, so I think it was fun for her to be on this side of the action for once.
Interested in a session for yourself? I'd love to meet with you to chat! Give us a call at 785.393.1958 to learn more—each session is as unique as the woman it captures!

I love how much shooting time I've been getting in the past few weeks (I think I counted up 18 sessions in just one week!)—it's been a blast! Amanda came in for her Studio Plus session on Sunday and her images are amazing! She has many interests—including weightlifting, ceramics, art, music and singing—and we were able to create images that expressed her love of those things.
If you are a 2017 senior and still need to book your senior portrait experience, give us a call at 785.393.1958. We provide a complimentary pre-consultation so you can meet the photographer (that's me!) and learn about our process and products.
In the meantime, here are just a few of my favorites from Amanda's session.

Lauren Wood/Reuters
Everett Dutschke speaks to the media as federal officials search his property in Tupelo, Mississippi, on April 23.
The FBI found traces of ricin in the former studio of a Mississippi martial arts instructor accused of sending poisoned letters to President Obama and other officials, and on a dust mask he chucked in a trash bin while agents were watching him, court documents show.
An affidavit unsealed Tuesday also revealed that the suspect, James Everett Dutschke, ordered castor beans -- which are used to make ricin – on eBay last November and December.
Other evidence outlined in the documents include documents from Dutschke's home that appear to come from the same printer as the ricin-laced letters, computer records that show ricin-related downloads and text messages with his wife about "burning" and disposing of paperwork.
Dutschke, 41, is being held without bond in the case – which originally focused on an Elvis impersonator with whom he's been feuding for years.
That man, Paul Kevin Curtis, was arrested two weeks ago but charges were later dropped. He has said he believes he was framed by Dutschke.
A surveillance team was watching Dutschke when he entered his former dojo, Tupelo Taekwondo Plus, on April 22, removed a bunch of things and tossed them into a garbage bin on the street, the affidavit said.
Authorities retrieved the items: a coffee grinder they said could be used for processing castor beans, latex gloves and a dust mask. The mask tested positive for ricin, as did swabs from the dojo, investigators said.
"Because public safety is always the FBI's first priority in any investigation, that location was immediately sealed off and appropriate public health authorities were notified," the FBI said in a statement.
Ricin can be lethal, but an FBI agent testified in court that the variety found in the letters sent to Obama, Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., and Judge Sadie Holland of Lee County, Miss. Wasn't very potent.
Dutschke, 41, has denied being the culprit.
"I wouldn't recognize ricin if I saw it," he told reporters last week. "Would you?"
The FBI said that when they interviewed Dutschke, he denied ever buying castor beans, said he had not been back to his dojo and never threw away anything from the studio.
When he was confronted with evidence to the contrary, "Dutschke attempted to change the subject, and he ended the interview," the affidavit said.

The place was packed solid when we got there! We never thought we would need to reserve a table at a pub. The manager was nice enough to squeezed us in - I think my bump might have played a part.
My husband's gammon ham with fried egg and home made chips (~US$12). It was very nice but what's with the stingy portion?
On the other hand my sausages and bubble and squeak (~US$11) was a plate full. I didn't think the pile of fried onion was necessary. The sausages were not bad, although I wouldn't say they were excellent as the guide book suggests. The bubble and squeak was a little sloppy too - it was too wet and the cabbage was way overcooked.
Service was still pretty good consider how busy it was.

If you're having problems trying to get a file to upload to Ponoko, it might be worth looking to see if you have any 'appearances' applied to your design. 'Appearances' are just that - they're elements in a design that give the appearance of being something, but their true vector value is something quite different.
A good example of an 'appearance' is the dashed line effect - this can be generated in both Inkscape and Illustrator, but is only a visual effect, as it doesn't actually change the raw vector information that is read by the laser cutter.
A quick way to see what the laser will 'actually' cut, is to switch your file to Outline Mode. This way you will see the raw vector data that the laser will read.
There are a few ways to find and remove appearances, which I've listed below:
Our laser cutter uses Illustrator to read files, so if you're using Inkscape to create your design, everything in your design MUST have 100% opacity - or be set to Alpha/A: 255 in the Object > Fill and stroke panel. If you don't follow these settings, your file will come through as a black fill with an "appearance" of Opacity 0% when opened in Illustrator.
1. Double-check that all of your fills are set to 100% opacity - any figure less than 100% can trigger problems during the uploading process.
2. If you 'select all', and 'Expand Appearance' is a clickable option in the Object menu, then it means there are appearances applied to objects in your design - something that is not good for laser cut designs. Use the 'Expand Appearance' command and you'll see the true vector information.
3. Make sure you didn't use an 'appearance' when you created your design, such as the calligraphic brush, or pencil. You can usually spot these brushes in the control panel:
Calligraphic and pencil brushes only provide the 'appearance' of a stroke - you'll need to 'select all' and choose 'remove brush stroke', as per the image below:
4. If you can't spot any 'appearances' straight away, check ALL the 'layers' in your file. In the file below you can see some gray dots, which indicate that appearances have been applied to parts of the design:
You can select these elements and outright delete them, but it is also possible to remove the appearance, but keep the design, by dragging the gray dot to the little rubbish bin icon in the 'layers' panel, as in the image below:
It is worth bearing in mind that even a single instance of an appearance in your design, no matter how small, can prevent your file from uploading into your Personal Factory.

Fire and Ice finally met this week, as Jon Snow and Ser Davos arrived at Dragonstone to meet with Daenerys. As expected, the long-anticipated conversation was not without its tensions, as Dany asked Jon to bend the knee and Jon refused, reminding the Mother of Dragons that her daddy had burnt his family alive. Dany graciously apologised for her father and brother, and offered to make Jon Warden of the North when she had reclaimed her rule of the Seven Kingdoms, warning him that to proclaim himself king was open rebellion.
Jon, however, had no time for all that, explaining that unless they all banded together to stop the Night King and his army of the dead, there wouldn't be anyone left alive to rule over. Daenerys and co. were suspicious of Jon's claims initially, and it was down to Tyrion to build bridges, drawing on his past experience of Jon's character and offering him something he needed – Dragonglass. There were nice parallels between Jon's White Walkers and Dany's dragons here, both creatures having passed into lore, with the Queen perhaps realising her scepticism was on a par with those who never thought they'd see dragons again. Her speech about surviving due to her belief in herself foreshadowed her decision to let Jon mine the Dragonglass, and demonstrated the fundamental difference between Dany and Cersei. While Dany is open to leaps of faith and belief in others, Cersei is insular to the point of pathology.
Interestingly the exchanges between Jon and Tyrion were far more compelling than those between Jon and Dany, perhaps due to the brilliance of Peter Dinklage. Maybe it's because the two characters have history, and their reunion had a certain emotional resonance which was lacking in the meeting of the King and Queen.
Speaking of reunions, two of the Stark children finally found each other as Bran arrived in Winterfell. Having seen Arya divert her course from south to north-bound last week, viewers would have been forgiven for expecting an emotional sisterly moment, but instead there was a rather odd and cold conversation between Bran and Sansa, as Bran refused his rightful title as Lord of Winterfell, explaining in a roundabout way that he was the Three-Eyed Raven now and proving this fact by helpfully recounting the things which he'd 'seen' happen to Sansa at the hands of Ramsay. Bran appeared preoccupied with finding Jon, and imparting the knowledge he has about the bastard's parentage, and I suspect by the time Jon returns to Winterfell with his arsenal, his little bro will have accidentally summoned an army of trouble. While the tone of this scene was peculiar, it looked gorgeous, the setting of the snow-covered Weirwood tree giving it a suitably other-worldly feel.
Sansa must have felt like she'd dropped a whole pile of drugs for breakfast because Bran wasn't the only one talking in riddles. Littlefinger was at it too, telling her (I think) that she must prepare for every eventuality. It felt to me like Sansa is softening towards her would be suitor/father figure, although it's not clear whether it's simply a case of her admiring his ability to adapt and survive. I'm interested to find out what will happen to Lord Baelish ultimately, as he seems to be sticking around for the time being.
Over in King's Landing, Euron Greyjoy dropped in on Cersei, his promised gift of Ellaria Sands and her surviving daughter, Tyene, in tow. It's not yet clear what's to become of Yara, other than that he's keeping his niece for his own despicable reasons, but Euron's theatrics in front of the Iron Throne were an undeniable treat. The guy is quite possibly the biggest arsehole in the Seven Kingdoms, which is saying a lot, but damn if he's not absolutely hilarious. Poor Jaime looked 110% done with Euron's antics but Cersei's promise to give Greyjoy what he wants after he wins the war for her means her brother has to keep his remaining hand off his love rival for now.
Cersei's revenge on Ellaria was truly chilling. While the threat of The Mountain was ever present throughout, it seemed horribly poetic that Cersei chose to poison Ellaria's surviving daughter herself with a kiss. I was half dreading some skull crushing or some kind of sexual assault, and the lack of violence towards Tyene was both a relief and a hideous juxtaposition to the horrific anticipation of Ellaria being forced to watch her child die and rot indefinitely. There was something awfully predatory about Cersei's treatment of Tyene, and this was underscored by her seduction of Jaime straight afterwards.
The second victory for the Lannisters came when they accurately predicted that Dany's forces would lead a strike against Casterly Rock (aided by Tyrion's inside knowledge). Instead of defending that stronghold, Jaime led an army to Highgarden and took out the remaining Tyrells. Olenna (the inimitable Dame Diana Rigg) met her fate with quiet dignity, her parting shot being that Jaime should tell his sister/lover that it was her who poisoned their son, Joffrey. Jaime's mercy in making Olenna's death painless, his admission that he was too blinded by love for Cersei to take a stand against her was actually pretty heartbreaking. Jaime didn't even refute Olenna's strongly worded condemnation of his dead son, and the Tyrell matriarch went out on a C-bomb, which just about summed up what a game old bird she was. RIP, Olenna. You were the most badass TV grandma in living memory.
Elsewhere there was intrigue as Melissandre stayed out of the way of Jon and Davos, and spoke to Varys about how they were both destined to die 'in this strange country'. Perhaps this was another prophecy, or maybe the Red Priestess was referring to the fact they would both end up on the same side, fighting in Westeros in a battle against the undead. Theon was rescued from the freezing sea by on of Yara's ships, and learnt his sister had been taken by Euron. And Sam's treatment of Jorah was successful, enabling Dany's number one fan to leave the Citadel and set out to rejoin his queen.
While the previous series have been somewhat lumbering and sprawling, remaining largely faithful to their epic source material, this series is moving at quite a lick with the first three episodes shuffling the deck constantly. This episode cleared away several peripheral groups – the Sands, the Tyrells – and moved the key players – the Starks, The Targaryens, and the Lannisters – firmly centre stage. While plenty happened this week, the pace didn't seem frantic as action was interspersed with excellent dialogue. There were laugh out loud moments as well as real pathos and horror, and this was an hour of TV that left me wanting more when the credits rolled.
Final Grade: A-
+ Lots of call-backs to the dead really tied this episode to past seasons and gave real depth and sense of scale and connectivity.
+ I was worried there would be some unnecessary sexual tension shoe-horned into Dany and Jon's first meeting (incest is par for the course on this show, after all), but the characterisation was on point, and it was brilliantly handled.
+ Everything looked so stunning, from the dragons swooping to surprise Jon, to the cliff top brooding (Tyrion's comment on this was perfect), to the snow-dusted Wierwood tree.
– Um…you can't have Bronn onscreen and give him NO LINES. Have pity!
– I'm slightly confused about timelines at this point. Jon got to Dragonstone so fast. Everything is happening so fast. Eeeeeep! It's not necessarily a terrible thing at this point, in terms of shifting the narrative along, but it is noticeable.
What did you think? Who won the battle of the swears – Glenna or Euron? Sound off in the comments or over on Twitter!

Jeff Unger, News Bureau
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Richard Herman, the chancellor of the Urbana campus of the University of Illinois, and Jeffrey Moore, the Murchison-Mallory Professor of Chemistry at Illinois, have been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the academy announced today.
They and the other 191 newly elected fellows will be honored at the annual Induction Ceremony on Oct. 11 at academy headquarters in Cambridge, Mass.
Other new members this year include U.S. Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice John Paul Stevens, two-time cabinet secretary and former White House Chief of Staff James A. Baker III, Academy Award-winning filmmakers Ethan and Joel Coen and Milos Forman, Emory University Provost and historian Earl Lewis, Darwin biographer Janet Browne, Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Edwards P. Jones, and blues guitarist B.B. King.
Herman, a mathematician, has been chancellor at Illinois since April 2005. He came to the U. of I. in 1998 to be provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs – the campus's chief academic officer. From 1990 to 1998, he was the dean of the College of Computer, Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the University of Maryland, College Park. He was chair of the department of mathematics at Pennsylvania State University from 1986 to 1990.
Herman has been active in shaping national science policy with an emphasis on positioning the sciences to meet the emerging needs of society. His experience in science and education policy includes four years on the National Science Foundation's Advisory Committee for the Directorate of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, including two years as its chair. In February 2006, he was named to the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
Herman also is chairing a national effort involving the private sector,
K-12 and colleges and universities to increase the number and qualifications of K-12 teachers in science and mathematics.
Moore, who collaborated with two other U. of I. researchers to develop self-healing plastics, most recently worked with them on another invention: a new way of doing chemistry.
Moore and colleagues Nancy Sottos, a professor of materials science and engineering, and Scott White, a professor of aerospace engineering, have found a novel way to manipulate matter and drive chemical reactions along a desired direction. The new technique utilizes mechanical force to alter the course of chemical reactions and yield products not obtainable through conventional conditions.
Potential applications include materials that more readily repair themselves, or clearly indicate when they have been damaged.
"This is a fundamentally new way of doing chemistry," said Moore, who also is a researcher at the Frederick Seitz Materials Research Laboratory on campus and at the university's Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology.
Founded in 1780 by John Adams, James Bowdoin, John Hancock and other scholar-patriots, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences has elected as members the finest minds and most influential leaders from each generation, including George Washington and Benjamin Franklin in the eighteenth century, Daniel Webster and Ralph Waldo Emerson in the nineteenth, and Albert Einstein and Winston Churchill in the twentieth. The current membership includes some 200 Nobel laureates and more than 60 Pulitzer Prize winners.

Our new cat friend has an online store that we use in order to get all of our goodies. If you go to Cat Toys and Supplies you'll be able to find everything you need for your little companions. From Beds and Furniture to water fountains, the site has everything our girls need. If I can't find it, I use the search toolbar instead.
Recently we ordered the Pioneer water fountain which has been amazing! I love it because it's easy to clean and it makes virtually no sound! The girls love it too and are still seen together by the fountain drinking their water. I love it when they drink water, especially when they do it together! As much as I liked their Pet Safe water fountain, it was made out of plastic and it was hard to reach and clean some of the corners. This stainless steel water fountain is a breeze to clean and I don't need to be scrubbing and soaking the dish for half an hour. I highly recommend going over to the site and ordering your cats a new water fountain. You'll love it as much as I do!
Since the website is affiliated with Amazon everything is processed through them. I get to use my Prime membership and get the cat supplies within three days. The last time we went to a pet store was…I honestly don't remember! Most likely a year ago when I was looking for Natural Balance duck recipe dry cat food and could not find it. This site has made it easy to search, add to cart, complete my order and ding-dong, the food is here! No more driving 30 minutes to go to a pet store that doesn't supply the products I need or if they do have it, it's overpriced. Thank you Cat Toys and Supplies for being so convenient!

cam is my favorite but vado is not going to cut it, even if dipset never goes back to like they used to be cam has to do something cuz if this keeps up he won't be relevant at all much longer, no homo thats scary cuz i really love cams music, but vado and the un movement is NOT CUTTING IT, i hope he realizes it and switches it up fast, if anything he just needs to do him, forget about signing anyone, get your shit together, put out some hits asap, its not looking good
Angry Gillmore Says:
September 6th, 2011 at 1:53 pm
allow me to play miss info blogger critic as usual lol : I was thinking the same thing; not in reference to vado not being able to cut it; but I just need more depth from him. I don't know if he's saving that type of material for his personal project or album but vado still hasn't revealed any character or character references (least from the mixtapes I've heard from him); you need more than a camron co sign to mark your name in the sand you have to sell yourself or your story, if not it just seems like meaningless punchline after punchline with no plot or susbstance behind it (hence the carter VI).
P:S: I love the Harlem bravado but once in a while you want something thought provoking in between the flash. People bought into camron's story because he sold his story, but vado is his own individual they should concentrate on getting vado's story out there cause he has grinded for some time and Id like to see another Ny artist rise; pitch that, instead of song after song with same material content: Harlem flash.

U14 A1 Hurling Championship action in our pitch tomorrow (Sat) at 2pm as Kinvara welcome Craughwell hurlers.
This will be another tight game of hurling and we can expect little to separate the sides on the final whistle.
Craughwell lost their opener against Moycullen and will be looking here to get a win to get their campaign up and running.
Kinvara scored a narrow 0-6 to 0-4 win over TAD in their opener. This will be another tough test for the seasiders, but if they play to their potential then they can take the spoils. This is "A" hurling, and it will again take a monster effort from our lads.
Please support if around.
