| ( AFP). Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Wednesday that he would not permit negotiations with the United States beyond those that culminated in a nuclear deal with world powers in July.
“We allowed negotiation with the US only on the nuclear issue for certain reasons,” Khamenei said in a speech. “In other areas we did not and will not allow negotiations with the US.”
Khamenei charged that Washington only sought talks on a broader range of issues in a bid to impose its own policies on Tehran.
“US officials seek negotiation with Iran. Negotiation is a means of infiltration and imposition of their will,” he said.
“The Iranian nation expelled this Great Satan, we barred their direct access and now we must not allow their indirect access and infiltration.”
The comments from Khamenei, who has the final say on all matters of state in Iran, came after the US Congress began debate on Tuesday on the nuclear agreement reached with Iran.
President Barack Obama has just enough support in the US Senate to prevent the deal being blocked.
But a majority of lawmakers oppose the deal, backing Israeli claims that it does not do enough to prevent any possibility of Iran developing a nuclear weapon.
Iran rejects Israel’s right to exist, a stance Khamenei reiterated on Wednesday.
“God willing, there will be no such thing as the Zionist regime in 25 years’ time,” the Iranian leader said.
“In the meantime, the spirit of struggle and jihad will not leave the Zionists a moment’s peace.”
Iran has always denied any ambition to acquire a nuclear weapon and Khamenei has himself said repeatedly that any such policy would be a violation of Islam. | POLITICS |

| LOS ANGELES – Brandon Crawford is out of the lineup for one of the most important games of the season, Alejandro De Aza is starting in his Giants debut and Madison Bumgarner is hitting eighth at Dodger Stadium.
Dodgers right-hander Zack Greinke is hitting eighth, too. The two starting pitchers have combined for seven homers this season. So I suppose the biggest surprise is that neither pitcher is hitting seventh.
There’s a lot of pregame news. Let’s try to make sense of it all in Q&A form, shall we?
A: OK. I guess so.
Q: What’s wrong with Crawford?
A: His left calf really swelled up after he was hit by a pitch in the 13th inning Monday night. (It might have been Tuesday morning by then, actually.) Crawford said it got him right on the meaty part and it’s stiffened to the point where he’s not available. Yes, he just returned Monday after missing five games with a stiff oblique. So this new injury is especially tough to take. Crawford said he still felt some oblique tightness in his return Monday, but it’s the calf that is the issue now. He’s day to day and hopes to return Wednesday, but that’s far from a certainty.
Q: Didn’t Nori Aoki break a bone when the Dodgers hit him with a pitch, too? And Brandon Belt broke a bone when hit at Dodger Stadium last year, too.
A: That’s not a question. But, yes. Aoki got brushed back pretty good Monday night, too. I would not be shocked if you saw a little bit of vigilantism at some point to balance the scales.
Q: Bumgarner is pitching today, right?
A: Right.
Q: Okay. Just checking. Why is Angel Pagan leading off when Gregor Blanco so clearly outplayed him at the plate and in center field?
A: Blanco has a bit of neck stiffness, Bruce Bochy said. And Aoki “has cooled off,” the manager said. Aoki really did have a rough game Monday. He’s whiffed on a couple liners in the outfield, too. Pagan played nine innings in another city Monday night but that makes him fresher by comparison. So he starts, along with De Aza. After that, as Bochy says virtually every day, “I go how they go.”
Q: Why did the Giants DFA Justin Maxwell now?
A: They needed his roster spot to purchase Nick Noonan’s contract. Maxwell would’ve been the eighth infielder when Hunter Pence returns. It’s no secret he has contributed almost nothing with the bat since May. I’d look up the numbers but that seems like piling on to a good guy who was well liked by teammates and contributed in a valuable if Hicksian way while Pence was out in April and May.
Here’s Maxwell: “I wish it could have turned out differently. I definitely enjoyed my time with the Giants. The fans were great, the atmosphere was great, the players and coaches were awesome. I learned a lot while I was here. I’m glad they gave me the opportunity in the spring. God has a plan and we’ll see what’s next.”
Maxwell said his greatest disappointment, other than the counterintuitive part where he lost his job on the day rosters expand, is that if he catches on with another club, he wouldn’t be eligible for a postseason roster.
He acknowledged his struggles, though, saying, “It’s all about hitting, to be honest. Defense, for my position, is always secondary.”
He sure did make some fantastic catches in his short time as a Giant. With Juan Perez back climbing walls, though, his glove couldn’t hold a spot all by itself.
Q: Why did the Giants DFA Maxwell when they could’ve created a 40-man spot by transferring Tim Lincecum to the 60-day DL?
A: See that part about eight outfielders. Bochy acknowledged it wasn’t easy because Maxwell “did a nice job for us, made our club in the spring and he gave us a shot in the arm. He was trying some things and unfortunately because of our needs, and the extra outfielders, we had to make the move today.”
Also, the Lincecum move is coming. Bochy said there will be another call-up or two after minor league seasons end on Monday. Call it informed speculation, but Clayton Blackburn finished the season strong and struck out nine in 7 1/3 shutout innings Monday night for Sacramento. No question, the Giants could use him on the roster to cover innings and get some big league exposure. They’ll have to purchase his contract and put him on the 40-man first, though.
Q: OK, so doing the math, Blackburn couldn’t start Friday at Coors Field. Who does?
A: It’s still TBA, Bochy said. But nobody will be held back. If the Giants need Tim Hudson (now activated from the DL) to soak up some relief innings against the Dodgers, they won’t hesitate to use him. They’d use Chris Heston, too. Basically, they’ll see where they stand after the next few days. Maybe it won’t be a true Johnny Wholestaff game – they’d like to avoid that in the middle of a four-game series at Coors Field. For now, I’d bet on Hudson. But the lava flow often changes directions in unexpected and disastrous ways.
Q: It’s a bit obvious, but why is Bumgarner hitting eighth?
A: Bochy: “I think that pretty much speaks for itself. In fact, Madison may have looked at me if I didn’t hit him eighth.” Plus Ehire Adrianza is in the lineup because of Crawford’s latest injury, and I think Bochy would hit Adrianza 14th or 15th if he could.
This is the third time Bochy has batted a pitcher eighth. The first time happened in 2010 at Arizona, when he was trying to spark a struggling offense by batting Tim Lincecum eighth and put Andres Torres ninth. In 2012, he batted Bumgarner eighth in front of Emmanuel Burriss in a game against the Cardinals. The Giants lost both those games, by the way.
Q: Hey, what is Nick Noonan’s role going to be? This kind of has shades of Travis Ishikawa, doesn’t it? A homegrown player doesn’t do enough to stick, goes elsewhere, gets released by another club, gets a call from Bobby Evans, re-signs a Triple-A contract, ends up back on the big league roster…
A: And hits a home run to win the pennant. Right.
Actually, Noonan thought the same thing when he re-signed with the Giants after the Yankees released him in July. “I was telling people, I re-signed just like Ishikawa,” Noonan said. “Maybe try to capture some of that magic.”
Noonan said he’s a different player than the first time Giants fans saw him because he’s much more accomplished as a shortstop and he takes a more relaxed approach into his at-bats.
He wasn’t sure why the Yankees released him, as he had a mild groin injury that didn’t keep him out for long. But he had a couple good games at short after joining Triple-A Sacramento, and with Kelby Tomlinson’s promotion to the big leagues, River Cats manager Bob Mariano kept giving Noonan more starts at the position over former All-Star Everth Cabrera. It was clear to Giants scouts and minor league coaches that Noonan had more to offer with the bat and glove than Cabrera or Kevin Frandsen.
Plus Noonan can spell Matt Duffy at third base. Right now, Duffy can’t afford to take an inning off.
“Just being familiar with the Giants, and that they knew me, made my decision a lot easier,” Noonan said. “They have open arms for everyone. It’s a great organization to come back to.”
Noonan, you might remember, had his only big league home run taken away by a replay review in Pittsburgh. “I’m still looking for that first one,” he said.
Q: Why is Noonan not starting over Adrianza?
A: I don’t know, but that is a great question.
Q: Do you know yet whom the Giants will send to the Arizona Fall League?
A: Not sure how, but your timing is impeccable. Rosters were announced today. Christian Arroyo, Austin Slater and Mac Williamson will play for Scottsdale. Pitchers will be Adalberto Mejia, Dan Slania, Ray Black and Clayton Blackburn. They can always change it up. Remember, Hunter Strickland was supposed to be slinging in the 108-degree heat in the AFL and instead spent his October in a playoff bullpen.
Q: Oh, almost forgot. Did Sergio Romo get away with balking in the winning run in yesterday’s 5-4 loss?
A: Yes. But it’s a stupid rule. As Bochy said, “If they’d have called it, I would’ve been upset.”
Q: You think?
A: …. (Bochy noises)

The City of Portland says the 2015 Sunday Parkways season will break all previous records for attendance, so it’s fitting that it came to an end on a near-perfect day.
Thousands of people came out on bikes and on their own two feet to enjoy blue skies, cool and sunny temperatures, and the first-ever (and likely the last) Sunday Parkways to use the carfree Tilikum Bridge.
Typical Sunday Parkways routes are one big loop, but with the Tilikum opening just a few weeks ago it was hard for organizers to resist including it in their plans. So today’s ride looped through Westmoreland and Sellwood neighborhoods and then had a long northern spur along the new Orangle Line and up onto the bridge.
Sounds like a great idea, except for the fact that TriMet buses, MAX and streetcar were all on their normal schedules. That alone is no big deal, but when you consider that TriMet is already extremely worried about collisions between path users and trains in inner southeast, you can imagine their stress level today with thousands of Sunday Parkways attendees dawdling around the tracks. I heard from sources that TriMet initially wanted PBOT to use only the north side of the Tilikum path because they didn’t want people to attempt to cross over the tracks at the west end. Then PBOT posted a message to Facebook encouraging people to park their bikes on the east end of the bridge and walk across in order to “keep the congestion down.”
The bridge and traffic along the Orange Line from OMSI to the Brooklyn Neighborhood was packed all day. But a few bottlenecks are a small price to pay for such a great event. Going slow was interesting because it gave me a time to chat with people and watch how the new bikeways, signals and crossings were being used. That being said, I think in the future it might be smarter for them to use larger streets and arterials instead of funneling everyone on narrow paths.
But, I digress… Back to today’s adventures…
Before we started the ride I met up with one Portlander who had never done a Sunday Parkways before. His name is Ted Wheeler. Wheeler, whose currently serving as Oregon State Treasurer and who would like to become Portland’s mayor, showed up to the event with his nine-year-old daughter. Wheeler said he and his family don’t ride in the city. He’s an “avid cyclist” who competes in triathlons and only gets out on the road in the pre-dawn hours because he “doesn’t like to mingle with traffic.” In many ways, he and his daughter are the embodiment of what open streets events are all about: a way to experience city streets on a bike without the threat of dangerous driving.
Ted Wheeler.
Looking around at all the other families on bikes rolling by us, Wheeler remarked at how the event impacts our city. “It just shows what the greenway potential is, in terms of bringing the community together, getting people outside, getting people to mingle, and really humanizing our built environment.”
The built environment had plenty of humans in it today that’s for sure…

After rolling through the paths along the Orange Line and then the tree-lined streets of the Brooklyn neighborhood, we stopped at Westmoreland Park for lunch. Along the way we grabbed some fresh veggies from a free pile and scored some fruit thanks to BikeLoudPDX’s “banana handup” at the top of a little hill.
Thanks Tom!
I spotted Mayor Hales at the park. He was proudly sporting the very first of Nutcase’s eagerly-anticipated new helmet featuring the Portland flag.
Mayor Hales.
I always love seeing familiar faces along the road. It’s my favorite part of Sunday Parkways. I talked to tons of old and new friends today.
Here’s Citybikes founder Tim Calvert (who is no longer with the cooperative) riding his trademark tall-bike full of pannier buckets he makes and sells…
This is Angel York, a dedicated volunteer who helps several local bike organizations, including Bike Farm and BikePortland (she’s helping us with our birthday party this Friday!)…
Also ran into this very talented duo: Sprocket Podcast co-host Aaron Flores (L) and consumate activist and musician Dan Kaufman…
And this is BikeLoudPDX volunteer Emily Guise and her friend with their matching Bike Fridays. Sooo cute…
PBOT’s Sunday Parkways CEO (not officialy title) Linda Ginenthal overseeing another successful event. She’s extra-happy because of some news we’ll share on the Front Page Monday morning.
The sweetest thing of the day (literally and figuratively) were these two young ladies selling bicycling-inspired cookies and rice krispie treats…
Free piles are a time-honored Portland tradition, but a free car? That was a first for me:
“As is. You haul.”
Another first was spotting this cool little dude on the new mural at SE 8th and Division. I think I found my spirit animal…
Hope everyone had fun out there today. Thanks to the City of Portland, the volunteers and everyone who makes this event tick. We’re already looking forward to next year.

Gagliardo Nirenberg inequality for the laplacian

It is a classical result due to Gagliardo and Nirenberg that there exists a constant C such that it holds $$ ||\nabla \psi|| _ ^2 \le ||D ^2 \psi|| _ ||\psi|| _, $$ for any $ \psi \in C ^2 (\mathbb ^2) $. My question would be if anyone knows if it is possible to obtain the same result or a similar one with the laplacian instead of the second derivative, namely if it holds that $$ ||\nabla \psi|| _ ^2 \le ||\Delta \psi|| _ ||\psi|| _. $$ Any help or reference will be greatly appreciated! inequalities laplacian share|improve this question edited Aug 17 at 12:22

By the classical regularity theory for the Poisson equation, you have $$ \Vert \nabla \psi \Vert_ \le C \bigl(\Vert \Delta \psi \Vert_ + \Vert \psi \Vert_ \bigr). $$ See for example Gilbarg and Trudinger, Elliptic partial differential equations of second order, 1983, theorem 3.9, where it is proved by the maximum principle. (An alternative would be to use a Green representation formula of the solution in a ball.) By scaling this gives $$ R\Vert \nabla \psi \Vert_ \le C \bigl(R^2 \Vert \Delta \psi \Vert_ + \Vert \psi \Vert_ \bigr). $$ By translating the estimate, you obtain thus for every $R > 0$, $$ R\Vert \nabla \psi \Vert_ \le C \bigl(R^2 \Vert \Delta \psi \Vert_ + \Vert \psi \Vert_ \bigr). $$ By taking $R = \sqrt$, we conclude that $$ \Vert \nabla \psi \Vert_ \le 2C \Vert \Delta \psi \Vert_^ \Vert \psi \Vert_^. $$ share|improve this answer edited Aug 18 at 7:19

| Mahler conducted the premiere of the Eighth Symphony in September 1910, four years after completing the work and just eight months before he died. The performance, Mahler’s last as a conductor in Europe, was to be the greatest triumph he ever experienced as a composer. But the preparation leading up to this event did not go smoothly. Beginning early in 1910, many months before the performance, Mahler exchanged several letters with Emil Gutmann, the impresario who had persuaded Mahler to conduct the premiere for a Mahler festival in Munich. Growing increasingly concerned, Mahler began to insist, sometimes frantically, that the performance be called off. He was particularly certain that the choirs could not learn their parts in time. In a letter to his trusted friend Bruno Walter, Mahler warned that he “shall ruthlessly [Mahler’s emphasis] cancel the whole thing if all artistic conditions are not met to my satisfaction.” A few weeks later, however, Mahler seemed to have resigned himself to a fiasco. He wrote Walter, “Until today I have been fighting inwardly and outwardly against this catastrophic Barnum-and-Bailey performance of my Eighth in Munich. When [Gutmann] took me unawares in Vienna that time, I didn’t stop to think of all the to-do that goes with such ‘festivals’.” Mahler continues that, even though he is convinced the performance will be “utterly inadequate,” he sees no way to escape from his obligations. It didn’t help matters when Mahler learned, much to his dissatisfaction, that Gutmann had nicknamed his work “The Symphony of a Thousand.” The tag, of course, is a rather shallow one to apply to a symphony by Mahler. It was not only correct, however, it was an understatement. As the program supervised by Mahler for the 1910 premiere of the Symphony states, the work required 858 singers and 171 instrumentalists. To counter the effect of so many singers, Mahler had to augment the standard orchestra. Thus, he increases it to 84 strings, 6 harps, 22 woodwinds, and 17 brass players. The score also requested that 4 trumpets and 4 trombones be placed apart. To assemble such a body of singers, it was necessary to supplement the Munich chorus (which included 350 children) with large groups from Vienna and Leipzig. The eight soloists came from Munich, Vienna, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Berlin, and Wiesbaden. The first performance, then, seemed to match in spirit Mahler’s attitude to the work, which he once called “a gift to the nation.” http://www.laphil.com/philpedia/music/symphony-no-8-symphony-of-thousand-gustav-mahler | CULTURE & ARTS |

Our experience was that it was hard to find detailed information before we arrived and several things remained mysterious the first day or two we were there. Hopefully this will be helpful to other would-be visitors. (Disclaimer: these are my personal observations, which I believe to be accurate, but I cannot accept responsibility for anybody relying on information which proves to be erroneous.)
About the Cinque Terre
The Cinque Terre are five pretty villages (in order from north to south: Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, Riomaggiore) located along a stretch of the coast of Liguria in Northern Italy linked by an 11km walking trail, the Sentiero Azzurro (Blue Trail). The section between Corniglia and Riomaggiore is known as the Via Amore (Street of love) and is wheelchair-friendly; the rest of the trail is rocky and involves steep ascents and descents. A unique feature is that the villages are linked by rail: trains on the Sestre Levante to La Spezia line stop at each one.
Is the path open?
We knew that the path was closed in 2011 after torrential rain caused mudslides, but we found it hard to establish what its current status was. The Latest News page of the Cinque Terre portal, which you would expect to be a definitive source, has no information more recent than 2002 (!), while Wikipedia's page refers only to it being partly closed in 2012. When we arrived we found a map in the Cinque Terre Office at Levanto railway station which had a handwritten amendment showing that the path was in fact still partly closed: the Corniglia-Manarola-Riomaggiore stretch has not yet (as of September 2015) reopened.
I am not going to speculate why this information is so hard to come by, but it is also worth noting that the signposts, which are generally very good, have not been altered either. As you arrive in Corneglia, for example, there are still signs pointing the way to Manarola and causing confusion and frustration.
Corniglia Does it matter?
Not really. It is frustrating for completists like me, but it really does not detract from what remains a great experience. Corniglia-Manarola-Riomaggiore is the least interesting section to walk, the villages themselves are still accessible by train, there is a straightforward inland alternative from Manarola to Riomaggiore (just over 1h) and a more demanding one from Corniglia to Manarola (2.5h).
Access
As well as the coastal path, there is a network of paths in the mountainous area inland from the coast (the mountains reach 700 km above sea level). Access to the inland paths is not controlled, but to walk the coast path you have to purchase a one- or two-day Cinque Terre Card (from the Cinque Terre Point at railways stations). These come in two forms: walking only and walking plus train, the latter allows unlimited travel on the trains. There are checkpoints at or near the start of each section of coast path and you can pay here as well.
Manarola Trains and maps
The train links provide great flexibility in planning your walks. Most people know that you have to validate your ticket before travel (i.e. have it stamped at a green machine located at various points on the station). The same also applies to the Cinque Terre Card, although it only has to be done once.
When you buy a Cinque Terre Card you are also routinely given a timetable and a very good map (we foolishly bought one which was inferior in a bookshop).
One thing which foxed many people us included was the two screen information displays showing arrivals and departures. It only made sense once we clocked that each train service in Italy has a unique number and by comparing these you can exactly what is going on.
Temporary path closures
One day we were there the coastal path was closed because of the threat of thunderstorms. We were trying to buy tickets for the next day at the Cinque Terre Point when we found out. I am not sure if there is a system for publicising these closures, but we did find that the excellent Accuweather weather forecast site had information on weather warnings, so this would at least alert you to the need to check.
Where to stay
We stayed in the pleasant town of Levanto, one stop to the north of Monterosso, and travelled in by train each day. This worked very well although lost of other people had the same idea and on the sunniest day there was a long queue for tickets (we bought a train ticket from the machine and a walking card at our destination, which saved some time).
Levanto station: the train was late We liked Levanto, which has a nice beach and some good restaurants, but I can't make a comparative judgement over the other villages.
Levanto North-South or South-North?
I suppose because we were staying north of the Cinque Terre, we decided to walk North-South, but clearly plenty of people were coming the other way. One key factor to bear in mind is that at Manarola there is a massive ascent (said to be 358 steps) from the train station to the village. It certainly makes better sense to finish a walk there than to start one!

One of DSG Systems's major successes is the self-service bag drop solution (SBD). The company has installed more than 100 bag drop units in eight different countries and is one of the leading suppliers of self-service bag drop systems in Europe.
In 2005, DSG Systems developed and installed its first prototype of the SBD solution to Oslo Airport. Since the launch of the SBD solution, the process has been steadily progressing in popularity. The company is the market leader in Scandinavia with installations in all the main airports in the region.

Check-in statistics and SBD status information are provided in real-time, giving operators an accurate over view of the check-in process.
The two-step solution enables passengers to use the check-in kiosk and receive a baggage tag. Once the tag has been attached to the bag, it can be dropped off at an SBD counter. The two-step solution maximises throughput and minimises the time a passenger spends at the counter.
DSG Systems also offers a one-step solution, which has been adapted from the two-step solution. The system can be customised to match any airport or airline branding principles, since the touchscreen display uses Microsoft Windows 8 software, providing a modern and intuitive user interface.

| The National Human Right Commission (NHRC) has opened an investigation on the alleged right violation of one Lois Iorvihi along the Lafia\Akwanga Expressway against the convoy of Governor Tanko Al-Makura of Nasarawa State.
The Executive Secretary of the Commission, Prof Bem Anwge, who led a team of investigators to the Governor’s Office in Lafia, said the investigation process will not be swayed by any emotion as generated by the petition on the social media.
“We owe it a duty to be fair and just by ensuring the protection of the rights of all Nigerians, including that of the vulnerable and those in position of authority.
“The commission will not allow persons who occupy public offices, endowed with state powers to misuse such at the detriment of the vulnerable public.
“Similarly, the commission will not permit allegations aimed at exposing public office holders to ridicule and hatred”, he said.
Governor Al-Makura while stating his own side of the story insists he never used abusive words on the lady as speculated on the social media.
The governor told the team that his decision to submit himself for the investigation and waiving his immunity as a governor was borne out of respect for human rights.
“Subjecting myself to be investigated by the Commission over the allegation is also to set a precedence and make a statement that in spite of one’s immunity as a political office holder, there are certain things that one should hold in respect for humanity.”
The Governor maintained that his immunity meant nothing to him as far as the issues of human rights was concerned.
He added that he was ready to cooperate with the commission to unearth the truth about the incident involving his convoy.

Shopping with my amigas, Eloisa and Celline. ☺
Pictured
above were my top picks that day! I basically stocked up on a few old beloveds
and a couple of long-time wish list products – Bifesta Makeup Removers,
Bioderma Eye Contour Gel, Garnier Anti-Imperfection Roll-On and the likes. I
guess that’s me all Watsons-ed out for at least… a few weeks?
All
in all, it was a seriously perfect shopping trip – and I felt like I took home
such a handful of products, despite not paying a huge amount for what was in my
cart. In other words, thank you Watsons and Nuffnang. Here’s to many more like
this in the future!

| Years of experience and decades of research underscore the wisdom contained in Mr. Ford’s words. This statement captures the core of what we call self-efficacy. This seemingly simple concept holds significant implications both for learners and for us as educators in our journey to nurture high levels of skill and knowledge. We know that the most difficult and challenging learner to teach is the learner who believes he or she cannot succeed. For this learner, developing challenging and complex skills and concepts is a task to be avoided. If success does not come on the first attempt, these learners easily conclude that learning is not possible and abandon their efforts. (Bandura, 1986; Bandura, 1991) Often, learners with a low sense of self-efficacy try to hide and go unnoticed in classes or even misbehave and act out to avoid the embarrassment and pain of being exposed as not being able to learn what is expected of them. On the other hand, learners with a strong sense of self-efficacy approach complex and challenging learning tasks with a sense of confidence that if they use good strategies, practice smart persistence and utilize the full range of resources available to them, they can and will succeed. (Wigfield and Wagner, 2005) These learners welcome challenges that stretch their capacity and build their skills. When success is not immediate they examine their strategies to see if there are more effective approaches to employ. They see learning missteps and setbacks as lessons from which to learn rather than failure and a signal to abandon the struggle. Admittedly, many factors and experiences can undermine the strength of self-efficacy learners possess. The good news is that there is much we can do to reinforce and build self-efficacy. Here are ten strategies to get started: Focus on learning as the goal by allowing flexibility in the pace at which learners are expected to learn. A “lock step” approach to instruction can send the message to some learners that they are not capable when all they really need is more time. Support learners to set short-term, attainable goals for their progress. When they have developed the confidence and capacity, guide them to focus and persist for longer periods on more challenging goals. Coach learners to select and employ specific strategies as they engage in learning tasks. Have them reflect on and adjust their strategies based on progress and experience. Compare a learner’s progress with their goals and current level of performance rather than with other learners. Make feedback immediate and informative. Include guidance regarding next steps in the learning process. When we point out errors without accompanying feedback and guidance, we risk reinforcing what is wrong without providing a path to success. Encourage learners to link their progress and performance to the strategies, effort and resources they employed. Guide them away from attributing success to some innate ability. Delay the assignment of grades as long as practical in the learning cycle. When we assign grades to early learning attempts, we disadvantage learners who come without rich background knowledge and risk sending the message that they are not good learners. Provide learners with peer learning models who will help them bolster and broaden their learning skills and strategies. Where practical, give learners choices about their learning. This could include strategies to employ, timelines for completion, activities to demonstrate mastery, their learning team, or other dimensions of the work. Be explicit in your belief about learners’ potential and capacity to succeed. The four most powerful words we can say may be: “I believe in you.” When learners feel our confidence and support, it is much easier for them to take learning risks and persist when they struggle.

China is a centrally controlled
economy where the government interferes in every facet of life ,including tightly regulating economic activity. Obviously always with the best intentions. To gain more traction and direction economically, they loosened controls on some aspects of commercial life and even allowed a stock exchange to come into existence. Every country has a number of enterprising citizens who then listed on the exchange and found they could make money trading shares. News quickly spread and the masses stared to join in. Little did thee traders understand that an individual stock should increase in value only as it's dividend grows on a sound footing that it makes more profit and all types of shares started to move up sharply ,some into almost into the stratosphere ! There was also a building boom which further excrebiated the worsening situation. Bubbles formed and the inevitable crash followed. The warning signs were there for the last three years, of course many excuses were made that thing were not that bad. Different from other countries, the Chinese government continues to interfere by measures such as preventing money brought in from around the world so invested from leaving their country. They also curbed bear activity which would have prevented the worst sell offs and goes in for buying shares in untenable stocks to keep the price from falling.
All this upset the world stock markets as one felt China a couple of years ago looked as if it would lift the mantle of being the strongest economy in the world from the United States of America. This course of events looks now as if this will never come about. Now to divert their citizens from their troubles they are unfortunately turning to military solutions by fermenting situations with neighbours. | WORLD NEWS |

| Floating Homes Ltd. with Baca Architects proposed installing 7,500 prefab, customizable starter homes along unused stretches of London’s waterways to help solve the city’s housing crisis. The increasing density of cities and the ensuing crisis in affordable housing around the world is fertile ground for innovation. Last June, think tank New London Architecture and the mayor of London launched an international call for fresh ideas on how to help solve the city’s ongoing housing crisis. They received more than 200 proposals from architects, developers, and private citizens in 16 countries. Tuesday the think tank released a list of 100 ideas that include a range of proposals focused on creative ways to increase density within London and surrounding suburbs. In October, a jury will select 10 winning submissions for further consideration. Alastair Parvin and Adam Towle, in partnership with the WikiHouse Foundation, proposed a plan called “Right to Replace” that would allow suburban homeowners to demolish inefficient, land-hogging existing houses and replace them with ecofriendly dwellings if they agreed to build on half of the existing land and sell the other half to another family. Innovative architecture firm NBBJ suggested replacing 9,000 miles of streets in London—more than one-third of London’s built surface area—with housing to create a more pedestrian-oriented city. Property consultants GL Hearn proposed building a megacity near the M25 highway that encircles London in order to dramatically increase housing, retail, workspaces, and infrastructure links by 2050. Building and planning firm WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff proposed building housing on top of existing hospitals, schools, and libraries, which it said would create 630,000 new homes. Bell Phillips Architects wants to build modular, prefab homes on the flat roofs of existing postwar housing estates to increase housing 30 percent without encroaching on existing public land space.[…] Continue Reading – Source: Slate | OTHERS |

| Nate Marshall isn't sure why he'd said yes to Eden Quinn. She is house-mom to a group of troubled boys and wants to take them to the Double M Ranch for some new experiences. Nate is surprised when he finds himself drawn to the boys but more importantly to their feisty guardian. Eden is attracted to Nate for lots of reasons but how he interacts with the boys makes him especially appealing. Nate observes the way she keeps the boys in line and how they respect her. When a problem arises that will affect Latimer House Nate wants to help, but will Eden's independence get in the way? This was an enjoyable story overall. Nate was a great hero from the get-go and I loved the Marshall family. Eden was someone I had mixed feelings about. I appreciated the way she interacted with boys and the love and care she showed to them. I must say though, I didn't like the way she was with Nate. To me she was unkind and unfair in the way she treated him. I really don't see what Nate saw in her. I also felt like things ended too abruptly and there was a thread left undone concerning a particular person. It would have been great to have an epilogue to finish things out. There is some danger along the way and you also find out where the name 'Sweet Mountain' comes from. This is Harlequin's Heartwarming Line of stories so they are sweet with traditional values but no 'spiritual' message as with their Love Inspired line. Sweet Mountain Rancher is the second book in a series but you can easily read it as a stand- alone and not feel lost. *This complimentary copy was provided by Harlequin through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review* For more information about this book or other books by Loree Lough, I encourage you to visit her website at http://www.loreelough.com/ | ENTERTAINMENT |

| I ran across something called Blab.im yesterday afternoon in an online exchange among legal professionals.
Seeing that it was some sort of video conferencing app similar to Google Hangouts, I asked on Facebook if anyone had heard of Blab, had used it and how it compared to Hangouts.
Samantha Collier , a social media consultant to law firms from Vancouver, mentioned she would be attending a “blab” being held today by an education provider in Australia. The “blab” was to be a discussion about online copyright/IP issues.
I stopped by for a few minutes and though the sound and video quality (displayed up to three people at a time), was good, the things being discussed were awful shallow. In addition, the people listening in may be considered marginal from a lawyer networking perspective. You could see their Twitter profiles when you moused over their pics.
Earlier in the week I ran across a piece that Foxwordy had become a top social network for lawyers.
Not hearing much about it and seeing that the piece was written by Foxwordy’s founder, I asked on Twitter if anyone knew of lawyers using Foxwordy. Nothing.
Bob Ambrogi, who had reviewed Foxwordy a year ago, then reported that Foxwordy was banning bloggers from accessing the social network. Kind of nuts for a social network to ban the most socially active lawyers don’t you think?
Also earler in the week I came across a report that recently launched Casetext had surpassed WordPress based blogs, Medium and other platforms like Blogger to become, in Casetext’s words, “the best place on the web to write about the law.” Mind you, this is a site where lawyers receive no branding, no independent/authoritative sites of their own and where commentators can go wild about your content without you knowing it.
Anyone of these networks and solutions may turn out to be wonderful for lawyers. God knows their investors think so.
But for the time being lawyers and legal professionals ought not feel compelled to use every site, platform and network that’s coming down the pike. Not everything is going stack up to what’s being claimed today nor even last for the long haul. In some cases the crowd may not be appropriate. In others the time spent may produce little or no return.
Look at something as big as Google+. Hundreds of millions of dollars and incredibly smart people behind that effort. Lawyers who spent their time in Google+ would be hard pressed today to say they received a return on their time. | SCIENCE & TECH |

| This summer, with the help of Cole Armitage , our Canada Summer Jobs and Ontario Summer Experience Program-funded Digital Communications Manager, Orchestras Canada embarked on an in-depth evaluation of our digital communications and content. Using surveys, analytic data, discussions with peer organizations, and a lot of internal debate, our goal was to find areas where we could improve both the content we offered and the techniques we were using to get it to you.
We offer a heartfelt thanks to the people who participated in any of the surveys we sent out to different groups during the month of July. Your input was extremely valuable, and we took it to heart. We’re also grateful to our provincial and federal funders, who made Cole’s time with us possible.
Here’s a quick outline of the things we have learned, and the changes we will be making in the upcoming months.
We asked questions about communication frequency, content, format, social media use, and your own definition of your relationship to Orchestras Canada. We learned what content was important to you, and where and how we might deliver that content to you. We also thought a lot about OC’s own mandate, membership, relationships, resources, and strategy.
Here’s what we’ve come up with.
In September 2015, we are discontinuing Orchestra News and Info Orchestres. The newsletters in their current format cost well over $10,000 per year to produce, and while the engagement of readers was high, actual readership was relatively low. This is the final issue of the newsletter in its current form.
There’s good news, though. If you were subscribing to Orchestra News to learn more about Canadian orchestras, take heart! In place of the newsletters, we’ll be offering a curated, dual-language e-newspaper with stories about Canadian orchestras curated from Twitter links and media releases from member orchestras. The e-newspaper will be available on the OC website starting next week; you’ll also be able to subscribe through Paper.li . We’ll send you more details about this once the first issue is available.
If you’re responsible for your orchestra’s media coverage and social media, we’re here to help! Just tweet your content to us, and include a link to a webpage with your tweet. Our aggregator should pick it up automatically.
If you primarily subscribed to Orchestra News/Info Orchestres for job postings , we invite you to “like” us on Facebook and/or follow us on Twitter (@OrchCanada) .
We’re re-orienting our Facebook page to primarily focus on posts of interest to musicians and emerging arts managers: job postings and pertinent stories from around the web.
If you want to make sure you see all of our Facebook posts, just:
Click on the little arrow on the top right hand side of your Facebook page; then Click on “newsfeed preferences” on the dropdown menu; then Click on “Prioritize Who to See First”, then Click on the Orchestras Canada logo. You’ll then see more of what we share.
We’ll continue to use Twitter to share news about Canadian orchestras, interesting articles, job postings and updates from OC.
If you work in a management role at a member orchestra , you can look forward to periodic and targeted emails from us with updates, news about program offerings, and opportunities for engagement in OC’s work on behalf of Canadian orchestras.
If you’re a donor or friend to OC , we’re working on some other strategies to stay in touch with you, by email, in person, and through Canada Post. We value your support.
Changes to our website are underway! To start with, we’re re-orienting the presentation of reference and learning materials on our website, to make them easier to find and to use. More changes (including a move to a truly mobile-responsive design) are in the works.
We’re re-animating our email discussion groups! One of the benefits of membership and associate organization status with OC is the opportunity to participate in email exchanges with peers across the country through OC’s list servs. If you work as an administrator or board member of a member or associate orchestra or youth orchestra, we probably have an email discussion group group for you – and would be delighted to connect you with your peers through the magic of a single email address. You can view and subscribe to any of the lists we offer here.
We value your continued support of Orchestras Canada, and we hope that the changes we’re implementing will serve you even better in the days to come. | CULTURE & ARTS |

| The Jefferson Parish School Board, and its president, Cedric Floyd, have done a lot since taking office seven months ago. Members have reopened schools, reinstated collective bargaining and gifted Lincoln Elementary School for the Arts with an arts wing, and they are working on a long-term plan for capital improvements. Floyd is leading that drive. Some support his can-do attitude. Others say he is too brash, too commanding and all too willing to run the system alone. On Thursday (Sept. 3), NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune reported that Floyd has been accused of berating the board's secretary, his fourth reported altercation in two years. Do you think Floyd been doing a good job? Take our poll, and tell us more in the comments. | POLITICS |

| THOMAS JEFFERSON LEADERSHIP From the humane & magnanimous policy, which Your conduct & character through life authorize us to beleive you will pursue, we have no apprehension of war from narrow or party policy; but delight in looking forward to the cultivation of universal peace—& liberal intercourse with all the nations of the world— Source: From Providence (RI) Citizens to Thomas Jefferson, March 5, 1801 The energies of the nation so far as depends on me, shall be reserved for improvement of the condition of man, not wasted in his destruction. the lamentable resource of war is not authorised for evils of imagination, but for those actual injuries only … peace, justice, & liberal intercourse with all the nations of the world, will, I hope, with all nations, characterize this commonwealth. Source: To Providence Citizens, March 27, 1801 Patrick Lee’s Explanation Wise leaders pick their battles for specific and necessary reasons.
The citizens of Providence, like many others, wrote a congratulatory letter to the new President. Writers tended to be of the republican (small r) vein, wearied of years of non-republican (again, small r) actions. One of the Providence hopes was for less American involvement in international conflict. Jefferson concurred and promised to use America’s “energies” for the good of mankind, rather than its destruction. If war came, it should be for “actual injuries only,” not the evils of imagination. (What does that bring to your mind?) He hoped open, honest and just relations with all nations would characterize the United States. “He presented a persona that blended dignity, honesty,
and just the right amount of humor.
Mr. Lee’s Jefferson came across as a real person.”
Executive Director, Missouri Humanities Council Mr. Jefferson hopes for an open & honest relationship with your audience.
Invite him to speak. Call 573-657-2739 Originally posted at http://ThomasJeffersonLeadership.com The Moral Liberal Thomas Jefferson Editor, Patrick Lee, is a professional speaker, actor and writer. Since 1990, he has inspired, entertained and educated audiences from Maine to Hawaii with his authentic, first person leadership presentations as President Thomas Jefferson, Frontiersman Daniel Boone, and Lewis & Clark Co-Leader William Clark.

| How to Handle Every Breast Type How to Handle Every Breast Type Breasts are like snowflakes. Every one is unique. Know the right moves, though, and you'll have her melting in your arms. (And for more ways to melt her mind, pick up a copy of
The Men's Healthand Women's HealthBig Book of Sex.) Large Breasts: In a study conducted at the University of Vienna, researchers found that large breasts were about 24 percent less sensitive than small ones. "This is probably because the nerve that transmits sensation from the nipple is stretched," says Alan Matarasso, M.D., a plastic surgeon in New York City. Stimulate the outer sides of her breasts, just below the armpits, with your tongue or fingertips. Make flipping motions with your tongue and even experiment with light nibbling. Small Breasts: They're sensitive, but they can handle more motion because of their size. Use your palms to cup and gently bounce her breasts during sex. Droopy Breasts: Droopy breasts can be the least sensitive--not only are the nerves stretched, but they're compressed by the breasts' weight. Have her lie on her back; it'll cause her breasts to shift up and out, relieving the tension on the nerves and helping her focus on the pleasure. Surgically Enhanced Breasts: If done properly, implants won't interfere with sensation. But they will move differently. Concentrate on the surface of her breasts. Use your tongue to make circles that gradually spiral in toward the nipples. New-Mom Breasts: Her nipples will be tender, so focus on the breasts' undersides, which are frequently neglected. Gently cup and support her breasts. It'll feel nice to her after a long day of suckling. | COMMUNITY & LIFESTYLE |

Bryiana, 24, was discovered by Playboy in an El Lay restaurant and shortly after was dubbed "Playmate of the Month" in September 2013.
The adorable duo had a fairytale engagement back in April at none other than Disneyland! The 40-year-old stuntman rode an elephant onto the stage during the Aladdin performance and popped the question!
I always try to be the best boyfriend I can be. @bryiana_noelle really wanted to go see the Aladdin Show at Disney and I of course made it happen.There was a bit of a twist half way through the show that she never expected.I told her I had to use the restroom and slipped out.When the parade of animals rolled through the audience as usual in the Aladdin Show it was her boyfriend atop the elephant and not Prince Ali.

LOL talk about a surprise!
Bryiana even took to Instagram on the big day to express to her love for her new husband. See the beautiful pic (below)!
I promise, in faithfulness, to love and respect you and our marriage until the end of time. #HereComeTheDyrdeks (Here ARE The Dyrdeks) A photo posted by Bryiana Dyrdek (@bryiana_noelle) on Sep 20, 2015 at 10:31am PDT
Congrats to the happy couple !!

| Evil is a contentious subject as its definition and the acts that represent it are dependent on an individual’s perspective of morality therefore making it subjective. However, if a group of people or a society were to agree what acts can be considered evil or not, would that make it an objective or universal truth? After all, just because a group of people can agree on something doesn’t make it indisputable truth. There is no denying the presence of evil within the human psyche and its degree of intensity due to the personality of the individual. But is evil part of our nature or is it nurtured? Is it caused by circumstances or is it ingrained within specific people to commit such heinous acts?
Argument that evil is part of our nature
Take into account this real life event that actually took place. A young man walked into a store with a couple of loaded gun looking to rob the place. When shoppers in the store saw him, nobody tried to play the hero and cooperated but that did not stop him to start gunning down multiple shoppers. Eventually he got caught and when asked to give a statement, the guy purely said that there are 2 types of people in this world being predators and prey and he wasn’t prey for anyone. If that wasn’t enough, at his sentencing, he spoke to the families of the victims saying that he knew that they are grieving but they should deal with it and get over it. The perpetrator felt no compassion for what he had done and added that if he could, he would do it again.
Or consider people that commit spree killings such as school shootings. Considering that they mostly grew up in middle class families or they social upbringing was quite normal, how can the parents of the shooter be blamed or mental and psychological disorders when it is normally shown that meticulous planning is taken to ensure that the execution of the plan is perfect.
I find it hard to disprove the idea that evil is part of human nature when you consider that some people do evil acts for the fuck of it. It is hard to believe that the entire human race is born with good intentions in mind and such. Every single human is born with good intentions? Fuck outta here.
There are many people who have had normal upbringings but still went on to commit evil acts. To add on to that, take note that if people could get away with doing evil acts, some would go haywire. Considering the motivating factors of evil such as greed or lust or anger (which are coincidentally part of us), I find it hard to believe that evil isn’t part of our nature. For instance, consider the scenario where a couple of young children are playing outdoors when one decides to kill or harm an animal. They are both of the same environment however one decided to act out on his impulsivity. Or consider why children of the same parents end up turning out differently by their personalities and one goes on to do evil with his life while the other becomes an upstanding part of society. You cannot blame it on environmental issues or such as they both were raised in a similar environment.
As a result, I believe in the possibility that all humans have the intention of evil within them, but we are separated from people who act out on those intentions by things such as understanding the consequences of our acts and our control of our impulsivity. Another thing that leads me to believe that evil is part of our nature is the way we act on our emotions. Say for example someone has wronged you, wouldn’t you feel betrayed and as a result act out by either seeking revenge or never speaking to that person again? Whereas people who lack impulse control act out on their intentions like the housewife who found out her husband was cheating on her and as a result decided to stab the poor bastard over 150 times. That in my opinion is the thing that sets people apart: their ability to control their impulses. If the law allowed people to rob, kill and rape, most likely that is exactly what some people would be doing.
In a study that was done a while back, it was found that people who have committed heinous acts have the same personality traits as sociopathic and psychopathic people. They lacked the ability to control their emotions, had a greater addiction to risk, lack compassion, are skilled manipulators and suffer from a lack of self-control. In the same way that businessmen are considered ruthless and heartless, people who commit heinous acts are the same. They do whatever it takes to reach their goals without regard of the consequences that might affect others. The only thing that separates them is the ability to control their impulses. This would lead a person to believe that evil is within our nature as a race as business people and criminals have different backgrounds but the same intentions.
People are born with a myriad of desires such as survival, possession, dominance and others. But because there are so many people on the earth who are fighting for the same goals as others, some people become insatiable in their endeavours to satisfy their desires. As a result, the intention of evil is born with the aim of fulfilling their goals. And this is how evil acts come about (in my humble opinion).
Argument that evil is nurtured
Although it is possible that evil is in our nature, I have to concede that in my opinion, it is possible for people to grow into the habit of committing evil acts. It can be dependent on circumstances that either increase the desperation of a person to succeed or for their family and loved ones to thrive. What I am trying to say is that being good is only dependant on how much our social environment allows us to be morally good as circumstances can force people to take drastic actions.
As morals are cultured into us by family and society, it is possible for evil to be nurtured. For instance, say you grew up with drug addicts and as a result, you become part of the culture. When you run out of goods, such a circumstance forces you to act desperately to reach your goal of getting drugs. Or take note when people join radical groups such as racist extremists or religious extremists but end up leaving to preach the dangers. When they become reformed, they are a whole new person. This would suggest that the person joined that specific group due to various circumstances such as the need to fit in (although there are many reasons for people to join, this is usually the most prevalent).
As a result, it is plausible to imply that become evil either because of circumstance or that the environment they are in or grew up in encourages such behaviour. While people are born with the gift of consciousness, they are not blessed with the morality to judge what is right and wrong. This is where the environment and the people they grew up with can come into play. People who are born in a violent environment have a high chance of being violent themselves.
In the same way that people can teach children to be good people, the parents who don’t either don’t care how their children turn out or don’t have good parenting skills. Surprisingly a recent study showed that boy who were bullied have a higher chance of turning out as a psychopath. This can prove that evil intentions are propagated by the environment and parenting that the child is exposed to.
As morals are taught to us, I think it is plausible to believe that evil is nurtured. Now whether this is on purpose or not is another story…
In the end, all views have both their merits and flaws but the aim of the article was to further understand each ideology so that we can potentially see the view of the other side and also see the grey between the black and white.
Hope you enjoyed and thank you for reading…

| Frictional Games
Frictional Games specializes in making gamers terrified. They first came to prominence with the horror game Penumbra: Overture , pioneering a mix of first-person puzzle and survival horror gaming that exploded with Amnesia: The Dark Descent . And now they’re going under the sea with Soma .
Soma takes place in a lab where something horrible has happened. It’s not clear what, exactly, that something horrible is , but there’s a creepy infection sticking itself to humans and robots alike, and the robots are acting less like dispassionate machines and more like people. Unstable, dangerous, angry people. Did we mention you don’t have any weapons? Yep, it’s hide, spot the pattern, and haul ass if you want to live to the end of the game. Whether you live beyond the end of the game… well, you know, this is Frictional we’re talking about.
Anyway, to see me play through, and also to hear me yelp profanities like a little yappy dog with its tail stuck in a door, you can check out the stream on Twitch or down below. We’ll be playing from 2:50 p.m. EST to 4:21 p.m. EST. Join us, won’t you?
UPDATE: And apparently, despite leaving my PS4 on all night, the game still didn’t fully download. Isn’t technology fun? Anyway, initial impressions have been tucked in the comments. | ENTERTAINMENT |

The growing gulf between the UK's demand for diesel and what it can produce is leaving motorists "at the mercy of the global market", a report has warned. Diesel use has risen by 76% over the past 20 years and is twice as popular as petrol, according to a study by motoring research charity The RAC Foundation. Some 45% of the UK's diesel demand is already met by foreign suppliers whereas the UK is a net exporter of petrol. The report, entitled Readdressing The Balance Between Petrol And Diesel Demand, stated that this reliance on imports was partly down to the declining number of refineries - from nine in 2009 to six today. The imbalance was also found to be a result of some of the older refineries being configured to produce petrol rather than diesel. Retrofitting for the latter is hugely expensive. RAC Foundation director Steve Gooding said: "That leaves us at the mercy of the global market and much of the rest of Europe is in the same boat. We are having to look further and further afield for the fuel we need. "Recently motorists have benefited from falling forecourt prices. We should be concerned about the potential for things to go the other way." The report noted that the number of diesel cars has soared from 1.6 million in 1994 to 11 million in 2014. It predicted that diesel fuel will be four times more popular than petrol by 2030. Mr Gooding said: "Today every other car bought is a diesel, but our refineries have struggled to keep pace with demand and have not attracted the investment they need to switch over from petrol production. "Most of our refineries - some of which are more than half a century old - were built when diesel was a niche product. "Retrofitting them is a billion-pound decision that has failed to stack up for investors who see refining as a low margin business despite our sky high pump prices." Drivers of diesel vehicles could face restrictions on going into city centres under recent Government proposals to improve air quality. A consultation document named six cities including Birmingham, Leeds and Southampton where measures should be considered in a bid to reduce nitrogen dioxide (NO2) emissions. Mayor of London Boris Johnson has already announced plans for an ''ultra-low emission zone'' in the capital from 2020.

| The Code of Conduct Tribunal on Friday formally opened its prosecution of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, over alleged corruption, brushing aside a Federal High Court order seeking to stop the case.
The prosecution counsel, Muslim Hassan, asked the tribunal to order the arrest of Mr. Saraki for failing to appear before it.
Mr. Hassan faulted the Federal High Court for granting the ex parte motion in an attempt to halt the prosecution of Mr. Saraki.
He argued that the high court had coordinate jurisdiction with the tribunal and as such, had no powers to halt trial of the tribunal.
Mr. Saraki’s lawyer, Joseph Daudu, however, prayed the tribunal to adjourn the case until after the Federal High Court sitting on Monday.
The chairman of the tribunal, Umar Danladi, adjourned the case till 1.30 p.m. for a decision to be taken.
The Code of Conduct Bureau had slammed a 13-count charge of corruption on Mr. Saraki.
In charge number ABT/01/15, dated September 11 and filed before the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Mr. Saraki is accused of offences ranging from anticipatory declaration of assets to making false declaration of assets in forms he filed before the Code of Conduct Bureau while he was governor of Kwara state.
According to the charges, exclusively published by PREMIUM TIMES Wednesday, the Senate President is also accused of failing to declare some assets he acquired while in office as governor.
Among other offences, including allegedly acquiring assets beyond his legitimate earnings, Mr. Saraki is also accused of operating foreign accounts while being a public officer – governor and senator.
The offences, the charge said, violated sections of the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, as amended.
Mr. Saraki is also said to have breached Section 2 of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act and punishable under paragraph 9 of the said Fifth Schedule of the Constitution.
The charges were prepared by M.S. Hassan, a deputy director in the office of the Attorney General of the Federation. It is not clear on Wednesday morning whether the document had been served on Mr. Saraki, Nigeria’s number three man.
Mr. Saraki dismissed the charges as “false and frivolous”.
“… Those behind this plot will definitely meet Dr. Saraki in court as this case, which is based on outright fabrication and mischief, will not and cannot stand the test of justice,” Mr. Saraki said in a statement. | POLITICS |

| I had backache today. I guess that’s what happens when you don’t exercise very often and then you indulge in a couple of hours of Sunday surfing. Maybe I should start stretching before and afterwards to stop myself getting horrendous muscle pain. Or maybe I should give it all up and go back to being a fat sofa-bound slob whose only activity is going to the kitchen to get a drink and more Wotsits.
Work dragged by as a result. Everything seems to move in slow-motion when you’re racked with pain and uncomfortable. Whenever I sat down, I felt like standing up, and when I was standing up, I kept stooping. It felt like someone had my Adam’s apple on a piece of string and kept pulling it down-and-forwards towards my chest.
I spent my lunch break online looking at chiropractors, osteopaths and physiotherapists to see if one of those might be able to relieve me. Then I saw what they charged for an initial consultation and thought to myself “Stuff it. I’ll take a couple of Anadin and struggle through til it‘s better.”
I know - I’m a hero.

| The Marines are resisting allowing women to fill combat positions. Let's face it, the Marines are different than soldiers in the rest of the Armed Forces. Their psyche is different. They are somewhat nutso, plain and simple. They are brainwashed early on with Sempi FI.
I have never known a Marine that would put the "bad mouth" on the Corp, regardless. And, trust me, the leaders are the worse at looking after their soldiers. But, if you are a Marine, you overlook it. In Vietnam, they were sent on operations with radios with no batteries or c-rats for every meal where the Army, even at war, got one "hot" a day.
Why do soldiers put up with it? They are Marines. My brother, Raz, served the entire war, with the Marines on Guadalcanal . He was actually in the Navy. The Marines didn't have enough men and conscripted some right off Navy ships. My brother, to hear him tell it, was in the wrong place at the right time and was selected to be a Marine. From that time on, just knowing he was a Marine changed his whole psyche.
Here's the example of the difference in Marines. Tell the Marines to "take the hill," they don't hesitate. "Fix Baynets." Tell the Army to take the hill, they say, "what are our options?" Get the picture. It isn't a matter of discrimination, bias, whatever. Homophobic, of course. Sexists, sure. It isn't women having to prove themselves, they have already done that over and over. F..k, two finished the roughest course of the military: Ranger School.
To mess with this fighting force is to be stupid to the max. War is not about equality. It is about fighting, putting your life on the line and you don'f..k with the Force (Marines) that is the best.
Here is a sad example. The "NY Times" did an exhaustive article on a Marine Unit that had way above average suicides--most had served in Afghanistan multiple times. The article profiled the 3/7th Marine Regiment in Afghanistan.
The article is a book. Exhaustive and how suicide has devastated the 3/7. The really saddest stories I've heard. (The VA comes in for a lot of blame but in tragedy we want to find somebody to blame. VA is a ready target. Most of the criticism is justified, I think, for this is real). Still, there is a bigger picture I think. What is it? The cause. Why?
The article raises questions. The ones they profile are mostly young kids, 19-28. A quote, "Almost seven years after the deployment, suicide is spreading through the 2/7th like a virus. Of about 1200 Marines who deployed with the 2/7th in 2008, at least 13 have killed themselves. Two while on active duty, the rest after they'd left the military. The rate of suicide is four times the rate for young male vets across the board and 14 times that for all Americans." Tragic. The gist of the article are the profiles of those who have done themselves in.
I confess that I have been a little like Al Pachino in one of his movies, "Sea of Love." Pachino is a police detective and a Korean War vet. He says at one point, something like, "What the hell is all this shell shock (PTSD), I always thought it was part of going to war."
I've changed my mind. Here is my belief, based on this superb article. These young Marines, Sempi FI to the max, simply can't cope with the peace. They live these highly charged lives in war. They see, they experience. They return home and try to take up living. For some, it doesn't work. Some do the extreme, it is what Marines do. They kill themselves.
This is merely an explanation/opinion, not an answer. I don't know the answer. I do know this: If we continue to have a mercenary military and want a force we can count on, we had better not f..k with the Marines. | LAW & CRIME |

| Live-action 'Jungle Book' trailer: Less singing, more action Growling big cats, fire, dramatic chase scenes and narrow escapes highlight a sensational trailer teasing a new take on "The Jungle Book." by Amanda Kooser @akooser September 15, 2015 10:41 AM PDT Updated: September 15, 2015 10:50 AM PDT This tiger is scary. Video screenshot by Amanda Kooser/CNET Don't expect much singing from "Iron Man" director Jon Favreau's take on "The Jungle Book." Disney on Tuesday unveiled an official teaser trailer for the new film, due out in 2016, that melds live action with plenty of CGI effects.
The nearly two-minute trailer shows a shadowy jungle world full of intimidating creatures like a snarling tiger, a massive ape and a deceptively sweet-talking snake. There's lots of running and dramatic cuts that hint at a high level of action. "The Jungle Book" was originally a set of Rudyard Kipling stories for children collected into a single volume and published in 1894. Most modern kids are more familiar with it as a 1967 Disney animated musical. It follows the adventures of Mowgli, a wild child raised by wolves who befriends a variety of jungle animals. The main villain is a tiger named Shere Khan.
Related stories Disney bans selfie sticks over safety issues F-U-N-D-E-D: Disney ups investments in mind-reading tech The original stories are filled with tense moments involving floods, cobra attacks, carrion animals descending on corpses and tiger-skinning. It's a different feel from the cheery family-friendly sing-alongs of the Disney classic. It looks like Favreau may try to meld the two approaches. The final scene in the trailer shows Baloo the bear whistling the song "Bear Necessities," a wink to the 1967 film. Bill Murray voices Baloo. The voice cast is full of big names, including Ben Kingsley, Lupita Nyong'o, Scarlett Johanssen, Idris Elba and Christopher Walken. Young actor Neel Sethi takes on the role of the feral child Mowgli.
If the teaser is indicative of the suspense levels for the film, some parents may want to think twice about taking young children to see it, as the trailer alone might induce some tiger-related nightmares. However, "Jungle Book" fans, whether they love the book or the musical, will get a guaranteed thrill.

| SAN DIEGO – The Coast Guard, in coordination with the San Diego Regional Coordinating Mechanism, prevented an estimated 2,900 pounds of marijuana from reaching U.S. shores when they thwarted a smuggling attempt approximately one mile south of Point Loma, Saturday.
During a routine boarding of the 43-foot sport-fishing vessel Pasa Tiempo, a boarding team from the Coast Guard Cutter Adelie discovered bales of suspected marijuana.
The Adelie crew escorted the vessel to the customs dock at Shelter Island, in San Diego, where an interagency boarding was conducted by the crew of the Adelie and U.S. Customs and Border Protection Offices of Field Operations, Office of Air and Marine interdiction agents.
The vessel, and a total of 168 bales of contraband was seized by CBP OAM.
The two people aboard the vessel were taken into custody by the Marine Task Force.
“This interdiction demonstrates the determination of our crews, and efficacy of our strategy, to combat illicit smuggling,” said Capt. Jonathan S. Spaner, commanding officer of Coast Guard Sector San Diego. “Indeed, transnational organized crime poses threats of both safety and security to our Nation. With tremendous support from the community, the Department of Homeland Security and our partners in San Diego are working very hard to detect and diminish maritime trafficking in the region.”
The MTF and San Diego Regional Coordinating Mechanism are comprised of U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Office of Field Operations, Office of Air and Marine, U.S. Border Patrol, Homeland Security Investigations, U.S. Coast Guard and other federal, state and local partners. Collectively, these regional partners conduct interagency operational planning and leverage agency authorities and jurisdictions to combat threat networks that seek to exploit the maritime approaches to the U.S.
The Adelie is an 87-foot Coast Guard cutter home ported in Port Angeles, Washington. | LAW & CRIME |

| Two Texas high school football players who appeared to attack a game official have been suspended from their team pending an investigation, officials of their team's Texas school district announced Sunday. The players were not identified, nor was the back judge they appeared to target. MORE: First news of the Texas incident | Dirty plays, cheapshots and jerks who disgraced sports The two played for John Jay High School of San Antonio against a team from Marble Falls, about 90 miles away. The incident occurred late in the game after altercations and ejections of other players. John Jay lost the game. Video of the game went viral and will be part of the investigation. Steve Laing, athletic director of the San Antonio Northside Independent School District, announced the suspension. "It is what it is when you see it on the video," Laing told San Antonio TV station KENS 5 sports reporter David Flores on Sunday. "Obviously, that's very disturbing and inexcusable. That type of behavior certainly would never be condoned." “I’ve coached 14 years and I’ve never seen anything like it,” Marble Falls coach Matt Green said, via the San Antonio Express-News. State football officials called for both players to be suspended. Late in Friday's game, two players appeared to target the back judge. One hit the official from behind; the other dove onto the official after he hit the turf. Tempers flared after Jay's starting quarterback and safety were ejected after an altercation with a Marble Falls player. In all, reports say four Jay players were thrown out during the game. "After [the back judge] got knocked down and he got back up, he ejected one of the wrong kids," Laing said. Jay player Moses Reynolds later tweeted support for his teammates, who claim the Austin-based official used a racial slur during the game. The school district and the Texas University Interscholastic League, which governs extracurricular activities in public schools, were investigating Friday's events. Austin Football Officials Association secretary Wayne Elliott told The Associated Press he hopes "those two kids never play football again." | SPORTS |

| INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Three Indianapolis Cathedral High School students are among the tens of thousands of people in the U.S. traveling to see Pope Francis.
A theology teacher at Cathedral High School somehow got his hands on four, very-hard-to-get tickets to go see the Pope in person.
Three lucky students were selected to accompany Matt Cannaday on the voyage, and the entire trip is free through the school’s sponsorship.
The group will head to Philadelphia Friday, participate in the Festival of Families on Saturday and come back to Indianapolis Sunday.
It’s a historic trip for the Pope and an opportunity these locals say is almost hard to wrap their minds around.
“I just feel as if God’s giving me this opportunity to see the Pope just as a spiritual experience for me as if he’s rewarding me for something,” said Mike Rushka, senior.
“I’m very excited! I haven’t stopped talking about it. Everyone is probably so annoyed with me,” said Molly Mitchell, senior.
“I’m just beyond honored. I can’t believe that this is happening. It still doesn’t really feel like it’s real life. That hasn’t really sunk in that I’m going to go see the Pope — the leader of the Catholic Church. But, yeah, crazy excited,” said Rachel Kent, junior.
“Just being in his presence, receiving a blessing from the Pope — being able to hear him in person. It’s one of those things were like it’s different in every circumstance when you see something on TV, it’s different than seeing it in person,” said Matt Cannaday, theology teacher.
To pick these students, Cannaday sent an email to fellow theology teachers asking them to submit names of standout students and after much discussion Rushka, Mitchell and Kent were selected.
They each say the most exciting part about the trip for them is the opportunity for them to grow in their faith. | RELIGION |

| CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — A man charged with killing two Virginia college students is due in court.
Jesse Leroy Matthew Jr. was already facing capital murder charges in the killing of University of Virginia student Hannah Graham when he was indicted by a grand jury this month in the 2009 slaying of Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington.
The 33-year-old defendant is scheduled to appear Wednesday in Albemarle County Circuit Court for a motions hearing in the Graham case. The court is also expected to hold a status hearing on the Harrington case.
Tuesday in Fairfax, a former girlfriend of Matthew says he was raped as a child. The northern Virginia case involves a 2005 sexual assault.
Attorneys for Matthew are asking a judge to consider his difficult upbringing ahead of his sentencing this week.

| In death and taxes you are alone, a sitting duck.
Only rivers run free, wild and ever-changing,
All parts of it escape the IRS; don't call it luck.
Running water is the only fugitive of legislative draining.
Forests and mountains are charted, numbered and targeted
They cannot claim independence, it would be national treason.
And what! A corporation called Nestle is reserving all rights to your waterbed
In a little while you will be thirsty in your quest for freedom. | OTHERS |

| American Minute with Bill Federer “The Lord of the Rings” by J.R.R. Tolken describes man’s insatiable lust for “the Ring of Power”: “Always remember Frodo, the Ring is trying to get back to its master. It wants to be found.” Power wants to concentrate. In a real sense, George Washington held that ‘Ring of Power’ and gave it up…twice. The first time was when Washington resigned his commission as General of the Continental Army in 1783. The American-born painter Benjamin West was in England painting the portrait of King George III. When the King asked what General Washington planned to do now that he had won the war. West replied: “They say he will return to his farm.” King George exclaimed: “If he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world.” The King was in disbelief as Washington’s actions were in stark contrast to kings throughout history who killed to get power and killed to keep power. George Washington gave up power again after having served two terms as President, he returned to his Mount Vernon farm. This was similar to Roman leader Cincinnatus, who twice led the Roman Republic to victory in battle then returned to his farm, resisting the temptation to be dictator. The world stood amazed as President Washington delivered his Farewell Address, which was printed in the American Daily Advertiser, SEPTEMBER 19, 1796. President Andrew Jackson commented on it in 1837: “The Father of his Country in his Farewell Address… Washington…seemed to be…the voice of prophecy, foretelling events and warning us of the evil to come… It is well known that there have always been those amongst us who wish to enlarge the powers of the General Government…to overstep the boundaries marked out for it by the Constitution.” In his Farewell Address, Washington cautioned of dangers: UNPRINCIPLED MEN USURP REINS OF GOVERNMENT “And of fatal tendency…to put, in the place of the delegated will of the Nation, the will of a party; – often a small but artful and enterprising minority… They are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the Power of the People and to usurp for the themselves the reins of Government; destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion…” PARTY POLITICS “Let me now…warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of Party… This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its roots in the strongest passions of the human Mind… It is seen in its greatest rankness and is truly their worst enemy… Domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge natural to party dissention, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism…” DESPOTISM OF AN INDIVIDUAL “But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an Individual…(who) turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty… Ill founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection…” FOREIGN INFLUENCE “It opens the doors to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the Government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country, are subjected to the policy and will of another…” ENCROACHMENT: “The habits of thinking in a free Country should inspire caution in those entrusted with its administration, to confine themselves within their respective Constitutional spheres; avoiding in the exercise of the Powers of one department to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism. A just estimate of that love of power, and proneness to abuse it, which predominates the human heart is sufficient to satisfy us of the truth of this position…” CHECKS ON POLITICAL POWER “The necessity of reciprocal checks in the exercise of political power; by dividing and distributing it into different depositories, and constituting each the Guardian of the Public Weal against invasions by the others, has been evinced by experiments ancient and modern…” USURPATION “If in the opinion of the People…Constitutional powers be in any way particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed. The precedent (of usurpation) must always greatly overbalance in permanent evil any partial or transient benefit which the use can at any time yield…” ACCUMULATION OF DEBT “Avoiding likewise the accumulation of debt, not only by shunning
occasions of expense, but by vigorous exertions in time of Peace to discharge the Debts which unavoidable wars may have occasioned, not ungenerously throwing upon posterity the burden which we ourselves ought to bear…” FOREIGN ATTACHMENTS “In the execution of such a plan nothing is more essential than that permanent…attachments for other (countries) should be excluded… The Nation, which indulges towards another…an habitual fondness, is in some degree a slave…subservient to projects of hostility instigated by pride, ambition and other sinister and pernicious motives. A passionate attachment of one Nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favourite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest, in cases where no real common interest exist, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and Wars of the latter, without adequate inducement or justification…” BETRAYAL “By exciting jealousy, ill-will, and a disposition to retaliate, in the parties from whom equal privileges are withheld: And it gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens…facility to betray, or sacrifice the interests of their own country, without odium, sometimes even with popularity: gilding with the appearances of a virtuous sense of obligation, a commendable deference for public opinion, or a laudable zeal for public good, the base or foolish compliances of ambition, corruption or infatuation…” MISLEAD PUBLIC OPINION “As avenues to foreign influence in innumerable ways, such attachments are particularly alarming to the truly enlightened and independent Patriot. How many opportunities do they afford to tamper with domestic factions, to practice the arts of seduction, to mislead public opinion, to influence or awe the public Councils… Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence, (I conjure you to
believe me fellow citizens) the jealously of a free people to be constantly awake… History and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of Republican Government…” PATRIOTS BECOME SUSPECT “Real Patriots, who may resist the intriegues of the favorite (foreign nation), are liable to become suspected and odious; while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests… In offering to you, my Countrymen these counsels of an old and affectionate friend, I dare not hope they will make the strong and lasting impression, I could wish…to warn against the mischiefs of foreign Intriegue…” RELIGION AND MORALITY “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and Morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism who should labor to subvert these great Pillars… Let us with caution indulge the supposition that Morality can be maintained without Religion… Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national Morality can prevail in exclusion of Religious principle… Morality is a necessary spring of popular government… Who that is a sincere friend to it can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation?” The Moral Liberal Contributing Editor, William J. Federer, is the bestselling author of “Backfired: A Nation Born for Religious Tolerance no Longer Tolerates Religion,” and numerous other books.

| Carly Fiorina says she’s “very satisfied” with her performance in last night’s second Republican debate for the 2016 presidential elections. She has good reason to be; whether you support her or not, the presidential hopeful impressed onlookers by dominating the first (and most important) hour of the debate by clapping back at Donald Trump for his ridiculous comments shaming her for her appearance by pointing out Trump’s history of building his empire on debt. Fiorina also got in her strongest critiques of President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton while musing on her issues with Planned Parenthood in light of the controversial videos that were released, accusing the organization of illegally selling fetal tissue. Fiorina isn’t immune to critique however; she’s already being shut down by fact-checkers who are picking apart what’s really fact versus fiction in her statements from last night. But it’s very likely that her approval ratings will go up after putting such a strong effort to get her voice heard. Other candidates, however, stayed spewing bullshit and putting out smoke and mirrors to entertain viewers. Donald Trump kicked off the debate by clowning yet another candidate for his looks, Rand Paul, but Trump got really quiet when the hardest, most pressing issues like foreign policy were brought to the table. Meanwhile Rick Santorum made bogus claims like comparing Kim Davis to a victim of the Columbine massacre and Jeb Bush fought to make his way into the conversation, using his brother’s legacy as an entryway for his own platform. See all the hijinks for yourself in the full video of last night’s debate above. UP NEXT: Obama Meets With Heroes Who Subdued Gunman On Train To France 1 2 3 4Next page »

| We were very exhausted going into this week. Ok, I was exhausted...the kids weren't. Plus Joe is traveling again so it's 4 against 1. We had a few activities outside this week. The girls had gymnastics and the Lydia has a cheerleading party to celebrate the end of competitive cheer season. We had a cooking club with friends and Lydia had archery. I had a huge issue with concentration this week. I have been experimenting a ton with some health issues I have. Not sure if it's the concentration issues or just the weird weather changes causing issues with my fibro. Lydia and Caty are enjoying gymnastics. They seem to like all the tumbling. And there is a lot of carts and wheels going on.
They both wore their leotards all day on Monday. Lydia isn't really enjoying her Duct tape camp, but she's still doing a few of the projects. She made a little house this week.
Caty spent the week practicing math facts, because she is moving into tougher addition problems. So I let her do some practice. She loves math, and it gave me a bit of a break and she still thinks math is fun...lol
Lydia wanted to do some of the color-by-number fact sheets too. She liked the fall theme from Super Teacher Worksheets.
She also did a refresher on fractions.
Caty and I are reading and learning about birds right now. She is enjoying this refresher, and I just keep adding some extra information that we haven't learned before. This is one of the books we read this week.
In Science we learned about atoms. The kids made atoms.
We saw this on Facebook, we thought it was funny.
I was happy that they got the joke...lol Lydia's cheer squad had a party to celebrate the end of their season. Lydia made cupcakes for the party. She is getting better at reading a recipe before she starts cooking it.
The girls and I spent some time Friday getting the living room ready for fall. It's my favorite season. Last year we spent it in the DC area, and I loved seeing all the colors. This year we'll be home most of fall. So I was excited to pull out decorations.
One project we did was the Pinecone Zinnia Pinterest project. It's a very tedious project, and the girls got bored quickly.
Here are some of our finished pine cones.
I ordered table top easels from Amazon. These are so cool, and take up so little space when storing them. I only intended on ordering 2, but accidentally ordered 3. So I guess instead of sharing those two, I will probably order a 4th so they each have one. But I love how they fold flat and store under the extra desk in our living room right next to the art supply drawers.
This week the girls did a doodle project from this Usborne drawing book. They really had fun with it, and we are going to keep going through it to practice some fine motor skills in fun ways.
For our geography study this week, we learned about the state of Vermont. We learned about the Monarch Butterfly, Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys, and also about ice cream since Vermont is the home of Ben & Jerry's. They each had to create their own kind of ice cream, name it and then design a carton for it. We watch the Curiosity Quest on Ben & Jerry's. Brayden loved this project. He kept telling people about the Ben & Jerry's Flavor Graveyard.
Lydia made Cocoa Fields. It is chocolate ice cream base with strawberries and chocolate chips added.
Brayden made Butter Brick Road.....It was a chocolate ice cream base with Butterfinger pieces, mini Reese's pieces, and PB Chips.
Joey made Sunny Day....He used a coconut milk vanilla ice cream base and added Sunbutter and jelly. Must add whipped cream.
Caty made Rocky Crusher....It was vanilla ice cream with caramel bits, Snickers, Butterfinger pieces and mini M&Ms.
In History we started a unit about Vikings. We had chicken stew for lunch one day. The kids were not huge fans of it, but I thought it was yummy. More leftovers for me! Here is the recipes that a friend shared with me......Viking Recipes
One of the documentaries we watched:
How did the Vikings get to North America:
and we were searching around this BBC website. We didn't cover as much as I wanted because life got really busy, so we will be spending two weeks learning about them. Next week we'll finish up about clothes, writing system, Gods and even possibly build a longboat from cardboard. This week we started our first cooking club. Some friends go to archery the same time we do, so we figured we would get together every week beforehand to do something. For the next few weeks, we will be cooking. The kids made a fruit tray and homemade jelly this week. The lunch spread of homemade jelly and peanut butter sandwiches and their fruit tray.
They had fun playing with their friends and can't wait until next week. We had typical riding and archery also this week. Being silly at Kroger...they are all excited about the new Star Wars movie. Brayden fell in love with "Spicy and sweet" BBQ sauce this weekend. Caught us totally off guard. Hope everyone had a great week!! See you next weekend when we finish up week 17. It's already looking like it could be an interesting week. | OTHERS |

| One of the most popular design techniques that has gained a great deal of attention over the years is white space in web design. A majority of websites nowadays are choosing to go the route of including aesthetics that are minimalist in style, and white space is one of the most common aesthetic aspects of this particular style. White space is often defined simply as being “the space between stuff on the page;” although, this extra space is not always white in color, which has led to more individuals instead referring to it as “negative space.” This is a term that has actually been used a lot in the art world and is described as what you get when you paint the area around a particular object in order to showcase the shape itself more accurately. It’s also extremely important to understand exactly how you can put this kind of space to good use, especially in web design. Here are some ideas that delve more into the importance of white space. How to make use of white space Image source: Luke Curé Based on the specific purpose of the overall content on a website, each website utilizes white space in a different manner. The best example of this involves a website’s landing page, which may contain plenty of this kind of space due to the page’s main function involving showcasing a call-to-action button.
However, websites such as ones the concentrate more on eCommerce may not contain a great deal of white space due to all of the content that the page must include, though there will still be some amount of white space. All in all, white space should always be used within context. Unfortunately, this also means that not every website will contain any hard-and-fast rules involving this. Image source: flat.io Furthermore, while each kind of web design is certainly unique in their own respect, white space should always be paired up with other different design techniques that work very well off of one another. Variety is also another great thing to keep in mind because there will be some websites that may require more or less white space than another website would. In cases like this, it’s essential that you rely on your own personal intuition. There are also two other aspects that should be prioritized: readability and legibility. An inventory interface should be created to help assess the scope of all of your content, and this should be created before you even start the design process. Then, rough content wireframes should be created in order to determine exactly how much space would be needed for these two aspects. In order to add an extra sense of style to a website layout, there are three things that you should consider utilizing: disparatve font sizes, asymmetrical white space, and contrasting colors. Why use white space Image source: Michael Korwin White space essentially enables web designers to dictate which particular features of a website that they’re building should stand out over others. Thanks to the welcoming type of layout this creates, visitors will be more likely to remain on the website for longer amounts of time. Here are some useful ways in which you can help to create this kind of an impression. Focus the visitor’s attention on the CTA http://ift.tt/1Vw0GZG
Image source: Jed Bridges CTAs will be allowed to breathe as long as the white space gives them enough room to do so. Visitors to the website can be guided to the necessary call-to-action buttons on a website whenever white space is included in just the right kind of proportion. Furthermore, the overall chances of a conversion will be increased whenever the CTAs are framed using white space. Keep elements organized Image source: Jake Sunshine All aspects of creating a website should be handled as efficiently as possible, whether you’re choosing color schemes, fonts, or actual layouts. Whenever white space is used properly, it can help to create a sense of elegance rather than appearing to be too minimalist in style. It enhances legibility Image source: Abhinav White space is also something that enhances legibility, which can be achieved through intelligent amounts of spacing between paragraphs, as well as in the margins. There are certainly other things that can be enhanced in terms of usability, but perhaps the most touted aspect is how well white space does with enhancing legibility. You can establish a visual hierarchy Image source: Marcelo Silva When you own your own website, you will essentially be able to distribute all of your content to the entire world. In fact, that’s the entire point of owning your own website. But this also begs the following question to be asked: how can you display your most important points in order to solidify your online presence? The short and simple answer to this question is to simply allow your website to stand out as much as possible. While this may sound a little crazy, crowding all of your content is actually the best way to inhibit your flow. Whenever a website without any white space is viewed, it becomes virtually unreadable. This means that if everything looks pretty much the same, you won’t be able to select any kind of important content. Rather, important content should be isolated from everything else in order to allow it to stand out more. Image source: Michael Pons As previously mentioned, doing something like this will most definitely increase legibility on your website. Additionally, it will help all of the visitors to your website locate information much more quickly than normal, as well as help direct attention from one particular section of your website to the next. Furthermore, when you utilize passive white space (which consists of the margins and spacing within typography) and active white space (utilizing white space to help manipulate user flows), your designs will not only obtain an elegant-type feel, but they also will both impress and engage your general audience. Ending thoughts While white space is definitely something good to use, it is also something that can generate a great deal of friction between web designers and their client base. This is due largely in part to most clients not wanting to see a great deal of empty space on their websites, which results in the designers having to explain how good of a role negative space can play in a website design. Sure, white space may seem to be rather empty and ordinary at first, but in the end, it truly will improve the overall look and feel of the design.

| Instructure Welcomes 70 New Canvas K-12 Clients from Indiana in Five Months SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 3, 2015 — Instructure, a leading
software-as-a-service (SaaS) company, continues its growth in Indiana this year
with more than 70 new K-12 clients in last five months. Indiana now has 80
school districts and institutions utilizing the Canvas learning management
system (LMS), a modern learning platform that schools and districts use to
create digital classrooms for teachers and students. “Canvas has really put simplicity back in education by streamlining every step
of the learning process on its platform,” said Donald Chase, director of
Technology at Southwest Allen County Schools. “It’s important for us to
integrate technology in a way that enhances, not disrupts, the learning
experience, and our teachers and students have responded positively to Canvas.” Indiana’s rapid migration toward Instructure’s Canvas began when news broke
earlier this year that My Big Campus was no longer being supported by
LightSpeed. Since that time, Greater Jasper Community Schools, Lake Central
School Corporation, Southwest Allen County Schools, Yorktown Community Schools
and dozens of other institutions began their move to Canvas. Now, nearly 400,000
Indiana students and teachers are transitioning to Canvas, which is the same
technology that hundreds of institutions in K-12 and higher education use every
day across the United States. With modern functionality and user-friendly design, Canvas makes it easy for
teachers to transition from outdated paper record keeping to the digital age.
They can easily create digital assignments, communicate to students and parents
through group messaging, and even live stream lectures. Canvas makes grading
simple and allows teachers to engage students with multimedia without having to
be technology experts. “Our goal is to make the lives of teachers easier by getting clunky technology
out of the way. Enabling teachers and students to truly focus their attention on
learning is critical,” said Mitch Benson, vice president of K-12 at Instructure.
“Canvas makes it easier for teachers and schools to create a great digital
classroom for their learners.” About Instructure Instructure, Inc. is the software-as-a-service (SaaS) technology company that
makes software that makes people smarter. With a vision to help maximize the
potential of people through technology, Instructure created Canvas and Bridge to
enable organizations everywhere to easily develop, deliver, and manage engaging
face-to-face and online learning experiences. To date, Instructure has connected
millions of teachers and learners at more than 1,400 educational institutions
and corporations throughout the world. Learn more about Canvas for higher ed and
K-12, and Bridge for the corporate market at www.Instructure.com. Press Contacts

| “ The above headline comes from the Irish Times (September 15, 2015) reporting on the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) study: "Students, Computers, and Learning." Other online and print media headlines on the OECD report capture in simple words different aspects of the report: "Schools Wasting Money on Computers for Kids" or "Putting More Technology in Schools May Not Make Kids Smarter." Of course, headlines are compressed sentence fragments seeking to convey the essence of the study. But media DNA requires going for the sizzle, not the steak. I have read the report's Executive Summary, looked at the tables of over 60 countries tracking changes in computer access and use, student performance, and national expenditures between 2009 and 2012. Measuring student performance (ages 15 and 16) was the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), a test that covers countries in Europe, the Middle East, Northern Africa, Asia, and North, Central, and South America. Here are some of the takeaways I gathered from the study. *Increased access and use of computers in over 60 countries between 2009 and 2012 has yet to translate into improved PISA scores in reading, mathematics. or science in these nations (p. 15). *The thinking and writing skills necessary to navigate the Internet successfully in a digitally-dominated society can be taught and learned with "conventional ... pedagogies and tools." (pp. 15-16). *"In the end, technology can amplify great teaching, but great technology cannot replace poor teaching" (p. 17). As the array of headlines indicate there are different interpretations that can be extracted from the OECD research report (including mine). Surely, the notable increase in access to devices and software is an accomplishment just as increased student and teacher use of both in lessons. What is newsworthy to me, of course, is that one-leg of the three-legged stool justifying buying these devices since the 1980s was academic improvement. The other two were that the new technologies would transform teaching and get students ready for an information-driven labor market. The academic improvement leg has wobbled badly since then from the scarcity of evidence to support the claim of improved achievement. The OECD report severs improved test scores from the list of reasons to buy tablets, laptops, hand-held devices, and accompanying software. What about the other two legs of that stool justifying purchase of new hardware and software? Transforming teaching from teacher-directed to student-centered has been a pipe dream. Yes, those teachers already inclined to develop student-centered lessons or already doing them latched on to computers (whether in labs, or with 1:1 laptops and tablets) to do better what they were already doing. But "transforming" teacher-centered instruction to student-centered for most teachers--given the constraints of the age-graded school and work demands placed upon teachers--has not occurred. The third leg of that stool has been preparing students for an information-based society (and labor market). That reason has become the over-riding public justification policymakers give for buying a trove of hardware and software in the past decade. Note that I used the word "public" in the prior sentence. Covert reasons for buying high-tech devices and software is simply the political pressure on school boards and superintendents to keep up with adjoining districts and reassuring parents and local voters that their children and youth are using up-to-date tools in school and being prepared for all those high-paying jobs in the computer industry, finance, engineering, robotics, etc. ,etc. Keeping up with the Jones may not have started with schools but it surely has infiltrated policy decisions when it comes to new technologies. The shift to justifying outlays of so much public money for tablets, interactive whiteboards, and glamorous software shows up in the mania for requiring high school students to take computer science courses (see New York City). The spread of coding camps and teaching kindergarteners to write code (see here and here) are also part of this rationale for buying more and more devices and software with scarce education dollars. So within the past decade, the three-legged rationale justifying district decisions to buy laptops, tablets, and new software has been demolished. No more hype about improving academic achievement. No more words about revolutionizing teaching. What remains is the strictly vocational aim of preparing this generation of students for jobs. As has occurred time and again during surges of school reform---inserting new technologies into classrooms is simply another reform--the deeper and more important issue gets side-stepped; What are the overall purposes of tax-supported public schools in a democracy? The OECD report offers U. S. policymakers a rare opportunity to step back and ask why are we spending so much money on devices and software when the results in so many nations, including the U.S., show such little return on investment? In Part 2, I look at the response thus far to this report. | EDUCATION |

| Hello! Everyone! I hope everyone is well. Today is a cloudy day here in North Texas. But it is still a beautiful day, I'm thankful that God has allowed me to see a "New" Day! Sister Betty has been in her trails, but it is what we are to have is trails. We are not to ask God to take us out of the trails. We are to ask Him to give us His strength to endure the pain, hurt, and suffering because of whom we choose to Follower. Christianity is not about us not to go through suffering. We have many brothers and sisters throughout the world that are going through suffering for His name sake. They are standing, and not giving in, nor compromising with those who believes "right" is to be unrighteous. And for "wrong" to be righteous. We all know that God is righteous. This means that righteousness is in God. Amen!! "Psalm 7:11 says: God is a just judge, And God is angry with the wicked every day." God doesn't want you, nor I to turn back, nor quiet! He wants us to pray, and continue calling His Name "Yahuwah". Time is drawing so near, everyday that He has allowed us to breathe, and to see that every Word that He has spoken in the Bible; that it is coming to past. (His Promises) We are to stand boldly, He will give us courage to stand. Mark 8:34 says: "When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, "Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me." Courage is good! In the New Testament, we see the angel of the Lord told Mary to have courage to face the trial of being pregnant with Jesus by the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit. He didn't want her to fear. And He doesn't want His children to fear. So what you may be going through at this time in your life. Know that God is with you. He has much work for you and I to do in His name. So do not give up! and do not give in to the enemy. The Holy Spirit that is within you will help you...He is our comforter. Let us continue praying for one another, no matter where we may be in distant. Let us lift one another in prayers to our Heavenly Father. I am on Fire for the LORD! This is encouraging for me as I set here typing to share and hope you, and others will be courage in Jesus Christ Mighty Name! Amen!! Be Bless!!
Sister Betty Jo
I would love to leave this Word with you: Psalm 26:1-2 "Vindicate me, O LORD, For I have walked in my integrity. I have also trusted in the LORD; I shall not slip. Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; Try my mind and my heart." Amen!! | OTHERS |

| On the 24th August 2015 I started a blog entry that was the start of my 30 days entries, as I join in with the (in)courage women bloggers of 30 days themed blog.
As a woman on the autism spectrum, love and what it means has been a huge issue for me, I knew the concept and I understood that Mum and Dad were supposed to love me and take care of me, but as for the feeling of love, the emotion and how I related to it, only changed about 4 or 5 years ago, when I was in a meeting and I actually felt the love of God, and knew what love was. I will be 49 in 2015, and I know his love in me, but I still struggle with how to show it sometimes, because I don't recognise the right or appropriate response to make in some situations. This means I stay quiet a lot, but my heart goes out to those who suffer. I feel compassion for the LBGT community, as I can see from their point of view what it is like to be condemned for something they have not chosen to be, like I did not choose to be autistic, however this comparison does not go the whole way, as my position with autism did not mean I had no access to the family of God. I did feel the lack of acceptance of my needs as an individual. Only when I got a diagnosis of Autism aged 38, did I feel the acceptance of myself as I am, in myself, but still had situations where people could make me feel I was not accepted among them.
It is God's grace in my life, that has given me more than I realised even before I ever came to Jesus and accepted him as my saviour. Revelation and teaching has changed the way I see my past, although I still have the scars and the memories. For me Love changed everything, understanding what love is and what it does when you do, makes life harder in some ways because I am aware that I need to give out my love, but how do I pass this love on. This worried me for quite some time, but I eventually passed it over to Jesus and asked him to help me, because it would have been a struggle in my own strength and I would have burned out again for the umteenth time in my life.
Experiencing love has in the most part enabled me to let go of the things that made me struggle. It has enabled me to go through the processes of finding peace with Jesus, finding out where I am supposed to be, and actually it is a process of dying to me and what I am and my identity becoming his identity. This was so painful in the past, and still is now, and maybe will be in the future.
But my heart is part of heaven, and heaven is part of me, so anything that God wants or desires, is not about me, it is about him being seen like a robe of light that envelopes me, and makes me his vessel to be seen by the world. | RELIGION |

Contents 1 Biography 2 Achievements 3 Awards and recognitions 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Biography I wanted to do something different. Many women players have performed well in other sports, but none in para jumping. My achievement will inspire other girls to take up the sport, says Shital Mahajan.[5]
Shital Mahajan was born on 19 September 1982 at Pune in the Western Indian state of Maharashtra[6] to Mamta Mahajan and Kamalakar Mahajan, an engineer working with Tata Motors.[7][8] Her education was at the Fergusson College, Pune from where she graduated (BSc) in geology.[9][10] Inspired by the feats of a friend's brother, she took a fascination for para jumping[10] and tried to get training at Indian Navy facilities but was refused entry by the authorities. However, with the assistance of the then Indian president, APJ Abdul Kalam,[9] she joined the National Defence Academy for training in skydiving and para jumping.[11][better source needed] Her first jump was on 14 April 2004 after which she is reported to have achieved 652 jumps.[6][1][11]

| Sarah, that's not what I monitor. What I monitor is 60-day EMA crossing 200-day EMA, not the actual price at the time. Well, I'll be on month long vacation and when I come back, hopefully the market directionality got settled more clearly. Good luck!

| What can you get for just 10 minutes? A lifetime of better health. No, this isn’t an infomercial for some “miracle” plan. It’s a simple fact: if you increase your physical activity by just 10 minutes every day, you can lower your risk of long term disease. And this is true for our children too— many of whom, as you know, don’t get nearly enough physical activity in school every day. That’s why we are a part of the #Commit2Ten campaign, a national push to get every American to commit to 10 additional minutes of physical activity each day. Tell your governor today: sign the pledge to #Commit2Ten and help build a healthier, stronger state. As our children head back to school, too many may find themselves without access to physical education or enough physical activity during the day. In fact, research shows only 1 in 3 kids are getting enough physical activity each day. That’s a trend we must reverse. We’re asking your governor to sign this pledge to show support for increasing physical activity in schools, starting with expanding physical education. We’ve also challenged the governor to join in the fun, lead by example and exercise 10 more minutes each day too. We told your governor to expect to hear from you. Will you take just 2 minutes to add your name to the challenge right now? Thanks for all you do! Together, we can help make our state a healthier place. Allyson Frazier Campaign Research and Development Manager, Voices for Healthy Kids American Heart Association Heart Disease and Stroke. You're the Cure. PS - You can take part in this challenge as well! Pledge to commit yourself, your family and all those you care for to add 10 more minutes of physical activity to your daily routine. You’ll feel better, and you’ll be setting a great example. Commit2Ten.org | COMMUNITY & LIFESTYLE |

Olivia Wilde and Jimmy Fallon hilariously failed at getting a watermelon to explode on Friday’s “Tonight Show.” Check out the video below!
In Fallon’s “Time Bomb” game, more and more rubber bands are placed around an object, increasing the pressure in the hopes that it’ll explode. Given the messy danger of the endeavor, a nervous Fallon and Wilde began the stunt by appropriately wearing goggles. Because, as the host put it, “Safety is sexy.”
With 300 rubber bands already on the watermelon, the stars jointly added more one by one. Ominous music added to the tension, but the boom never came. So, how did the explosion finally happen?
Wilde gave up and threw the watermelon the floor, spraying some poor, innocent audience members. She tweeted about the experience Saturday morning, writing, “If @jimmyfallon hadn’t told me to smash that freakishly strong watermelon, we would still be there right now. #awatchedmelonneverpops #GMO.”
Interestingly, Fallon had better luck nearly a year ago when he and Shailene Woodley experimented with a pumpkin, which did actually explode, as Gossip Cop reported at the time. Watch the two videos below, and tell us what you think! | ENTERTAINMENT |

| “I still believe in God, but God no longer believes in me”
It’s 1985, The Sisters of Mercy have recently imploded with uber-Goth Overlord Andrew Eldritch in one corner and his minnions Wayne Hussey and Craig Adams aggressively snarling in the other. Inbetween them is a fog of legal wrangling and lawyers fees. Goth, like Bela Lugosi, is dead.
A year later Hussey and Adams have found reinforcements and come crawling out of the Batcave as the newly crowned saviours of the dark art and national sales of cloaks, wide-brimmed hats and Boots No7 go through the roof. The Mission are born(e). It is at this precise point that the 19 year old me forsakes his credibility and quite frankly, his dignity, by diving headlong into this murky, dark world although I did draw the line at make-up. I’m from Lincolnshire after all, we simply don’t countenance such behaviour.
No, it was that simple opening refrain to ‘Wasteland’ , whispered in typical laconic fashion and swiftly followed by a soaring guitar riff which sucked me in and didn’t let go until Nirvana turned up and blew the cobwebs (some of them literal) away. I was a Goth and this is my story.
I find it scarcely believable that for many reading this, The Mission mean nothing. If they feature on your musical compass at all then it is merely as an amusing footnote, a pantomime bunch of northerners who got lost in the dressing up box and somehow regularly adorned the front cover of every musical publication known to man. The Mission were goth royalty and the press lapped up the Dark Prince of the Soundbite as if he were The Second Coming. But they weren’t alone, the band had the most devoted legion of followers with a hardcore known only as ‘The Eskimos’ who would travel the country and latterly the globe in a drunken pilgrimage, laying waste to each venue in a frenzy not seen since the last Viking 18-30 holiday.
In short, The Mission were big business and their career probably peaked in 1989 when they headlined the Reading Festival to an adoring black throng drenched in dry ice and eye-liner. How do I know all this? Well I was there wasn’t I? Every step of the way. Freud would probably have something to say about this time of my life, an era when belonging to The Mission family almost seemed more important than my own. Actually Freud would probably just say “ You’re bonkers mate, get a life ” and he would eventually be proved correct. I just had OCD when it came to The Mission.
‘ Singles A’s & B’s ‘ is a chronological collection of the bands’ releases throughout their initial years of popularity coupled with some B-sides and cover versions which were often more entertaining than their own material. We kick off with their first singles ‘ Serpents Kiss’ and ‘ Garden of Delight ‘, full of talk about “ shimmering skies ” and “ worshipped ways “, all standard goth fare back in those days swiftly followed by a cover version of Neil Young’s “ Like A Hurricane “. Devotees of the great man may want to give this track a wide berth. This was The Mission formula back then, pen some weird anthems and back them up with the occasional left field cover.
Which brings is neatly onto ‘ Stay With Me ‘, their first bona fide ‘hit’. Nearly 30 years on, it’s shocking. Hussey was oft accused of hiding himself in Welsh hillsides, highlighting ethereal words in the dictionary from which he would then attempt to construct a song. It was almost goth-by-numbers. He was never going to get an Ivor Novello for writing “stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side…stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside “. I cringe as I type this knowing I have, on many occasions. bellowed these words back at him. What was I thinking?
All the hits are here, the previously mentioned ‘ Wasteland ‘, ‘ Severina ‘ and the percussive stomp-athon ‘ Tower of Strength ‘, always a live favourite as it provided the perfect opportunity to wave our arms around and construct a human pyramid. How I long for the days before the Health & Safety Executive came into being.
The first two albums ‘ Gods Own Medicine ‘ and ‘ Children ‘ provide the bulk of the genuine goth-fodder on show here before the third studio album ‘ Carved in Sand ‘ moved them more into the mainstream at the fag-end of the decade. In ‘ Deliverance ‘ you not only have the finest track The Mission ever recorded but it is a perfect template for the whole genre. It’s packed full of anthemic bombast, pseudo-meaningful wordplay and you get to throw your hands wildly in the air repeatedly. It’s what we did, don’t judge us..
The remainder of ‘ Singles A’s & B’s ‘ does little more than chart their downward trajectory yet ‘ Afterglow ‘ appears to have weathered better than much of their material and cover versions of ‘ Tomorrow Knows ‘ and ‘ Mr Pleasant ‘ are nothing if not fun. If only they had included their cover of The Stooges ‘ 1969 ‘ too, always a live favourite. Taken as a collection, this must appear a confusing mish-mash of musical styles for the newcomer. It starts life as a spooky mansion on a storm-ravaged night and 36 tracks later it’s morphed into a bouncy castle at a kids summer birthday party.
So has history been kind to The Mission? Well, no not really. You will appreciate that it’s very difficult for me to be objective about a collection of songs which hold such memories for me, whether it be driving through the sparse Cretan countryside with The Mission blaring from a tinny 80s ghetto-blaster or badly twisting knee ligaments during the opening 30 seconds to their Reading 87 set. But deep down, on reflection, I know that much of what is on display here is no longer relevant to you young people. It’s a sub-standard Halloween party of an album. Safe, fun and utterly disposable.
Keep The Faith Blood Brothers.

| On the left, you’re seeing a kids bike’s brake pad so badly worn it was about to go into the spokes, halting the bike and launching the rider. To the right you see Kevin checking and re-checking to make sure he’s seeing things right- a new bike with fork installed backward. At least this time we got to do more than just pump up tires!
Sensible people got out on early rides today, beating the heat. Kevin and I didn’t get to be sensible; we were doing mechanic support for Foster City’s annual community bike ride. Normally that involves inflating a whole lot of tires; still did this year too. But as you can see in the photos, well, some bikes weren’t ready for prime time, and a few were downright death traps. Well, that’s why they have us at the event. We got the two bikes in the photos, plus an assortment of other bikes with “interesting” issues, reasonably safe to ride.
The Mastadon is down again! Must have been the heat.
By the time we got out on our own ride, it was precisely noon, allowing us to take full advantage of our high-temp training in France as we rode through Woodside in the mid-90s (not all that bad, really), up Old LaHonda in the mid-80s (yeah, would be nicer to climb in cooler temps), La Honda back up to mid-90s (most of the turtles didn’t even like that, choosing to stay in the water at the duck pond, instead of sunning themselves on the floating platforms), back to the mid-80s on the coast, 75 to 85 climbing Tunitas, and back into the mid-90s at the bottom of Kings.
It wasn’t an easy ride; the Interbike trade show kept me from riding both Tuesday’s & Thursday’s morning rides, and Kevin… well, he should have ridden, but slept in. The result? 24 minutes up Old LaHonda instead of 22, a couple extra minutes up Haskins too, and Kevin was pretty slow on the middle (steep) section of Tunitas. He did recover on the flatter section up top, picking up enough speed that it was tough to stay on his wheel! | OTHERS |

| I'm so excited that my Fried Egg on Sourdough Toast drawing has been selected to be in the Strokes of Genius 8: Exploring Textures book! You can see the list of all the winners to be included in the book, here. The Strokes of Genius books are compilations of contemporary drawings, with a theme. They are competitions sponsored by The Artist's Network, and the books are published by North Light Books. I've always drooled over the winning pieces, and this year I decided to enter. The book comes out in 2016, and you know I will be blogging and tweeting it all over the place when it does! So this kind of marks a 'year of entering stuff'. I decided to enter some of my colored pencil drawings in a few shows, just to see what would happen. I did a rough tally of how it worked out financially, and have to say I'm fairly pleased. I entered 3 pieces in 4 shows (some were entered in more than one). The pieces were accepted into all the shows but one (an online show). Two won $$ awards. So after tallying up all the entry fees and framing costs, I just about broke even, thanks to the awards. The only cost that put me over the top was shipping to the CPSA show in Atlanta, and the cost of the shipping box. So all in all, considering I was doing this in in a rather casual way (not entering in every single 'important' show there is, and only showing 3 pieces), I feel pretty happy with the results! I started a 'new year' of entering by entering this year's UArt Open show with my BLT piece, but it didn't get accepted. Last year I had two pieces in their show, and won an award! So you just never know. I know people who've entered a piece in CPSA and not been accepted, then enter the same piece the next year and win an award. So this entering shows thing is not for the feint of heart. It can really bruise your ego to not 'get in', let alone not win anything. Then there's the money part. You really have to be serious about this 'fine art' thing to do it properly and be successful. You also have to be very organized about what you're entering, and keep track of which pieces will need to be shipped to where if they get accepted, and how long they'll be 'tied up' in that show, which will make them unavailable for another show, etc. I haven't decided yet if I will pursue this whole 'show' thing more, or not. Right now I'm super immersed (obsessed) with a project that I'm excited about, and its taking up ALL of my time. But I'm having fun, and can't wait until I can share it! Hopefully in about a month? If all goes well. Its Labor Day here today. I will be 'laboring', although I think the point is that we take a day off. I'm happy though to be working on something I love, so it doesn't really feel like work. Maybe I'll take a day off from housework in honor of the day - guilt-free! | ENTERTAINMENT |

| Insteon and Amazon Echo have joined forces to bring support for Insteon’s line of lights, dimmers and relays to the Echo’s set of devices that can be controlled using voice commands. The ability to use Echo’s Alexa to control Insteon devices does not cover everything quite yet, but Insteon says they are working on adding that support. Currently, Echo users will find they can use use voice commands to turn lights on and off, dim lights with a voice command, or control groups that include up to five items. For example, users could put five lights that make up their living room lighting in one group and then use a command like, “Alexa, set living room lights at fifty percent” to adjust all of them. The groups are agnostic, so Insteon devices can be grouped with hardware like Belkin’s WeMo, Phillips Hue, or Samsung’s SmartThings. Echo does not yet support Insteon’s Scenes feature which supports an unlimited number of devices being combined, but that should be added in the future. Amazon’s Echo will work with the regular Insteon Hub device, but not the Hub Pro which was built specifically for HomeKit. source: Insteon

| SHARE Facebook Twitter CORTE MADERA, Calif., Sept. 29, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Dr. Don Harte, renowned Marin straight chiropractor, warns, “Fall has begun. With that, the annual media blitz to convince us all to line up, like sheep, for the flu shot.” “Last week’s headline,” he relates, “says ‘Flu vaccine seen as a better match. Health experts hope to avoid repeat of last year’s debacle.'” Dr. Harte asks, rhetorically, “You really listen to this stuff?” “If so many didn’t believe this pseudo-scientific fantasy, it would be funny.” Harte goes on to say that Federal officials “… emphasized that, unlike last year, this year’s vaccine appears to be a good match for the strains of flu they expect to hit the U.S.” “Really?” he asks. “The CDC must have fortune tellers in white coats. They are declaring a good match of something they just cooked up, for something that hasn’t appeared yet. This is science?” Dr. Harte said, “In Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, a 26 year old woman, a newlywed, a radiology technician, died from flu complications after she received the flu shot. She had no choice, as it was a condition of her employment.” Harte points out, “From a medical procedure to allegedly prevent a non-fatal disease, a young woman has died. She is not the only victim. THE most common side effect is Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), a debilitating, paralyzing neurological condition. I have one such victim of flu vaccine-caused GBS in my practice. This formerly healthy, athletic man walks unsteadily with ‘drop foot,’ with a profound loss of memory.” Dr. Harte states, “More people have died from the flu after getting the flu vaccine, than from Ebola.” He goes on, “Public health officials, on this topic, are public liars. They continue to bleat the figure of 36,000 deaths from influenza. This figure is bogus. It is for influenza AND pneumonia. Leave out the pneumonia deaths, and there are usually less than 300 deaths from influenza.” He adds, “This is typical of government lies in the service of Big Pharma. Disgusting!” “The problem with preventative medicine,” Dr. Harte says, “is that it prevents health. Better health prevents disease and improves function.” He goes on, “Chiropractic has proven itself during the Great Flu Pandemic of 1918, saving tens of thousands of lives, when medical care was powerless. Chiropractic liberates the nervous system, allowing the immune system to work better. Vaccinations subvert normal immune pathways, interfering with health. What’s your choice, this flu season?” More information on Dr. Harte: http://www.chirodrharte.com/. Contact: Dr. Harte

| Asheville, N.C. (September 24, 2015) — Grassroots Outdoor Alliance, an organization of innovative specialty outdoor retailers across the U.S., will host a landmark event this November in the first annual Grassroots Connect show.
The inaugural Grassroots Connect takes place November 11-13, 2015, in Knoxville, Tenn., and is far more than an early buying trade show.
While the event will serve as an efficient and intimate platform for buyers to build a powerful store presentation, Grassroots Connect is also about creating the future of outdoor specialty retail.
The fact that Grassroots Connect is taking place in the original gathering place for the outdoor industry – Knoxville, Tenn. – is intentional. The event is designed to create a new success blueprint for independent specialty outdoor retailers during an important juncture in the evolution of the outdoor active lifestyle industries.
“Specialty retail is in a critical window of evolution and with that evolution comes incredible opportunity for our membership,” said Wes Allen, President of the Grassroots Outdoor Alliance and former owner of two specialty retail stores. “Grassroots Connect was launched to support specialty retailers through this evolution, arming them with new best practices specific to outdoor specialty and enabling independent stores to take a prominent position in the connected consumer’s buying journey.”
Grassroots Connect is an invitation-only event for premier outdoor brands and independent specialty retailers. Over 70 of the industries leading brands will be represented, including: Patagonia, The North Face, Under Armor, Ibex, Darn Tough and Hydro Flask. Through Grassroots Connect, these select vendors will have one-on-one time with more than 80 of the leading independent outdoor specialty retailers in the United States.
Invitations were extended to brands based on significance of business already done with Grassroots member retailers, and invitations to non-member retailers is based on fit with the independent, specialty focus of the group.
“We’re an independent specialty outdoor retail store based in Telluride, Colorado, and this will be our first year attending Grassroots Connect,” said Erik Dalton, owner of Jagged Edge Telluride. “The standard show schedule is really hectic and they happen at extremely busy times for us— in the middle of winter or the middle of summer. So to find a show that’s happening in early November is great timing and allows us to look at these lines earlier and get orders in ahead of deadlines.”
About Grassroots Outdoor Alliance
Grassroots Outdoor Alliance unites 55 independent outdoor retailers with over 100 doors in 30 states, as a strong voice to protect and promote the experience of outdoor enthusiasts across the United States.

| Young, good looking, but personally unremarkable doctor Robert Laing (Tom Hiddleston) has just moved into a trendy looking (for the 1970s, where the film is set) brutalist concrete monolithic high rise. Shortly after moving in and meeting the enigmatic architect of the project (Jeremy Irons), who dwells in the overly opulent penthouse, Laing becomes so comfortable and acclimated to the building that he barely ever leaves, even to go to work. It slowly dawns on him that despite living on a floor that’s solidly in the middle of the building, those who live on the upper levels are eating up all the building’s resources and looking down upon those on lower floors (often literally). While Laing is largely too ineffective to do anything about the ongoing social war, frustrated documentarian and fellow building resident Richard Wilder (Luke Evans) looks to shake things up. J.G. Ballard’s 1975 novel High-Rise was both very much of its time in terms of setting and cultural context, but it’s themes have resonated for decades since. It’s also, thanks to Ballard’s perpetually obtuse nature, something that would be patently unfilmable if adapted for the screen word for word. This makes the latest effort from British filmmaker Ben Wheatley (Kill List, Sightseers) an ambitious undertaking, but one that pays off. It’s a literal trip; a work of pure, anarchic glee told with relentless amounts of energy and élan. Impeccably designed, expertly cast, and featuring one of the best uses of ABBA covers ever, Wheatley crafts a purposefully messy film about a messy situation. It’s not a story that benefits well from a controlled structure. The joy of reading Ballard comes from believing that anything can happen at any time, something matched by the screenplay from Wheatley’s most faithful collaborator, Amy Jump. It’s smart-assed, drug addled, sex crazed, primal, misanthropic and most of it will never make a lick of sense even after mulling it over. For a lot of people (especially those going in expecting a hot new film from a hot new director with big-ish name stars), High-Rise will be a really tough sit. For those willing to go down the rabbit hole Wheatley creates, it’s breathlessly entertaining, but also slightly exhausting. Is High-Rise essential festival viewing? The buzz after the premiere screening has certainly proved divisive out of the gate, but I think that actually makes it more essential. You’ll definitely have to decide this one on your own, and those are often the best kinds of films. High-Rise screening times Monday, September 14, 2015 – 3:00 pm – Ryerson Theatre | ENTERTAINMENT |
