New Orleans this morning, New York in this evening
Squinting they eyes and shit they can't see him
Curren$y’s hometown is New Orleans. He was signed by Dame Dash who’s label headquarters are in New York.
Improve the quality of Breakfast Lyrics by leaving a suggestion at the bottom of the page

domain: artistic


Title odds 50/1
Last season 21st
Key player: Clayton Donaldson. The forward was a vital reason for Brentford winning promotion from League One and he has all the physical attributes to be potent at this higher level.
Best case scenario: Lee Clark really is one of our best young managers and he manages to avoid the problems of last season despite the club’s financial problems.
Worst case scenario: The dramatic escape from relegation on the final day of last season was merely a temporary stay of execution.
Last season 8th
Key player: Jordan Rhodes. The Scotland international has agreed a new five-year deal and his goals will once again prove vital.
Best case scenario: The revolving door for managers has ground to a halt and Gary Bowyer has laid the foundations by going 12 games unbeaten at the end of last season.
Worst case scenario: Rhodes suffers an injury and Bowyer becomes the latest managerial sacking at Ewood Park.
Last season 20th
Key player: Peter Clarke The experienced defender has arrived from Huddersfield and will have to be at his very best to keep the backline intact.
Best case scenario: Manager Jose Riga signs enough players to have a fighting chance of avoiding relegation and the Oyston family are removed as owners.
Worst case scenario: The Oystons stay, youth team players are forced to play because of a lack of numbers and relegation is confirmed in March.
Last season 14th
Key player: Jermaine Beckford. If the striker can rediscover the form he had at Leeds, Bolton could have next season’s top goalscorer on their books.
Best case scenario: They had one of the best squads on paper last season, but this time they prove it with manager Dougie Freedman becoming more attack-minded.
Worst case scenario: They remain stuck in mid-table limbo. Others have fallen even further after relegation from the top flight and Bolton must be wary of following.
Last season 10th
Key player: Matt Ritchie. The winger missed the start of last season but proved his importance to Eddie Howe’s team on his return.
Best case scenario: Bournemouth appear at home in the division now and a repeat of the second half of last season could secure a play-off place.
Worst case scenario: The goals of Lewis Grabban prove difficult to replace and Callum Wilson fails to hit the ground running. Howe leaves for a bigger club.
Last season 2nd League One
Key player: Moses Odubajo. The winger had attracted interest from Premier League and Championship clubs so Brentford have done well to sign him from Leyton Orient for £1m.
Best case scenario: Manage to mount a second successive promotion push that puts them on the brink of the Premier League.
Worst case scenario: Manager Mark Warburton is exposed at this level, the team lose promotion momentum early and suffer an immediate return to League One.
Last season 6th
Key player: Craig Mackail-Smith. Only returned from injury late last season but will be crucial after the sale of Leo Ulloa to Leicester.
Best case scenario: Brighton repeat their excellent record from last year against their so-called rivals – and avoid the dreaded play-offs.
Worst case scenario: Sami Hyypia proves unable to adapt to the Championship and Albion finish mid-table, with fans drifting away.
Last season 20th Premier League
Key player: Adam Le Fondre. A lack of cutting edge cost Cardiff dear last year, and Le Fondre - newly-arrived from Reading - will need to provide it.
Best case scenario: Vincent Tan doesn’t do anything bonkers, Gary Medel and David Marshall stay put and Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer oversees an instant return to the top flight.
Worst case scenario: Tan changes the team’s colours to red and yellow polka dots, Solsjkaer quits and fans desert in droves.
Last season 18th
Key player: Simon Church. Big things were expected of Church but he has never lived up to it. This feels like a make or break season.
Best case scenario: They take confidence and momentum from last season’s successful battle against relegation and do not have to fight another one.
Worst case scenario: Having lost one of the stars of last season, Diego Poyet, Charlton struggle again and fall into the third tier.
Last season 3rd
Key player: Craig Bryson. The Scotland midfielder was hugely influential last season and Derby succeeded in snubbing interest from Burnley this summer.
Best case scenario: Derby go one better than last year and forego their usual play-off trauma.
Worst case scenario: McClaren’s team suffer a hangover from their heartbreaking late defeat to QPR at Wembley and start the season badly.
Last season: 19th in Premier League
Key player: Ross McCormack. An £11m signing in the Championship is enough to raise anyone’s eyebrows, but for McCormack? No player will be under more scrutiny.
Best case scenario: McCormack bangs in 30 goals, Felix Magath wins Manager of the Year and Fulham return to the top flight with consummate ease.
Worst case scenario: McCormack flops, Magath is sacked and Fulham wallow in mid-table, prompting Shahid Khan to sell up.
Last season 17th
Key player: Nahki Wells. Did superbly early on following his capture from Bradford. Has the ability to be potent at this level, provided he stays fit.
Best case scenario: Finally shake off their reputation as a solid Championship club and put themselves in the promotion hunt under the canny leadership of Mark Robins.
Worst case scenario: They start the season badly and lose confidence in their ability to play at this level.
Last season 9th
Key player: David McGoldrick. The former Forest striker has been a decent buy for Mick McCarthy and scored 16 goals last season.
Best case scenario: McCarthy’s experience of this division proves crucial and they reach the play-offs.
Worst case scenario: Aaron Cresswell is not replaced, they side stay mid-table and owner Marcus Evans loses patience with McCarthy.
Last season 15th
Key player: Sam Byram. For a club that continues to fail to punch above its weight, the sight of a quality homegrown player could do wonders for supporters.
Best case scenario: The chronically inexperienced Dave Hockaday proves a tactical genius and owner Massimo Cellino allows him to sign players who are not only Italian.
Worst case scenario: Hockaday is out of his depth and Cellino sacks him, as well as two other managers before the end of the season. Another distracting takeover bid is launched.
Last season 12th
Key player: Grant Leadbitter. The driving force behind Middlesbrough, the midfielder will spearhead the club’s push for the play-offs.
Best case scenario: Aitor Karanka is given a few loans from old friend Jose Mourinho to further strengthen an improving Boro squad.
Worst case scenario: Karanka loses Leadbitter, Rhys Williams and Albert Adomah before the transfer window closes.
Last season 19th
Key player: Riccardo Fuller. Despite his relatively advancing years - Fuller is 34 - the Jamaican is a dangerous striker at this level.
Best case scenario: Manager Ian Holloway utilises all his experience and defies expectations by leading Millwall to a top-half finish.
Worst case scenario: The lessons of last season’s near miss are not learnt and the team are involved in yet another nervous relegation battle.
Last season 18th in Premier League
Key player: Lewis Grabban. A prolific striker further down the leagues, Grabban will need to succeed where Gary Hooper and Ricky van Wolfswinkel failed last season.
Best case scenario: Championship defences prove rather easier to crack than ones from the top flight and Norwich go up in a blaze of goals.
Worst case scenario: Neil Adams’ lack of experience proves fatal as his side fail to shake off their relegation hangover.
Last season 11th
Key player: Andy Reid. The influential Irishman is a class apart in this division and will need to repeat his form of last season.Best case scenario: The emotional return of Stuart Pearce gives Forest a huge boost in home games and Forest finish in the top six.
Worst case scenario: Forest owner Fawaz Al-Hasawi continues to polarise opinion at the City Ground and the Pearce effect wears off quickly.
Last season 7th
Key player: Jem Karacan. The midfielder remains one of Reading’s key players and if he can steer clear of injuries his team may have a chance of a return to the Premier League.
Best case scenario: Nigel Adkins makes up for last year’s near-miss by securing a play-off berth.
Worst case scenario: Missing out on the play-offs on the final day produces a hangover and Adkins is unable to spend the money he needs.
Last season 4th League One
Key player: Adam Collin. The former Newcastle goalkeeper was the hero in their play-off penalty shootout win over Leyton Orient and is likely to be busy all season.
Best case scenario: Manager Steve Evans continues to nurture the siege mentality that served them so well last season.
Worst case scenario: Evans makes Rotherham the team everyone wants to beat and they do just that, sending them straight back to League One.
Key player: Oguchi Onyewu. Vastly experienced and much-travelled American defender could be a key figure in a well organised defence.
Best case scenario: Finish above Leeds, Huddersfield and Rotherham to take Yorkshire bragging rights and launch a push for the play-offs, enticing the crowds back to Hillsborough.
Worst case scenario: The improvements made under Stuart Gray last season turn out to be just another false dawn and another relegation battle ensues, in front of a half-empty stadium.
Last season: 13th
Key player: Lloyd Dyer. At the age of 31, Dyer has plenty of experience and was part of the Leicester squad that went up last season.
Best case scenario: The team rediscovers the form that took them to the play-offs in 2013 and they turn more away draws – 10 of them last season –into wins.
Worst case scenario: A disappointing mid-table finish last season is the start of a slump rather than the end of it and Watford are dragged into trouble.
Last season 5th
Key player: James McArthur. The heartbeat of Wigan’s team, McArthur has risen in prominence since the sale of James McCarthy to Everton.
Best case scenario: The highly-rated manager Uwe Rosler is given the funds by Dave Whelan to take Wigan back into the Premier League, and he duly succeeds in doing just that.
Worst case scenario: Rosler loses a few more of his key players to Premier League clubs and mid-table beckons.
Last season 1st League One
Key player: Bakary Sako. The French-born Mali international was superb for Wolves last season. He is quick, direct, skilful and versatile.
Best case scenario: They follow the same path as Southampton and Norwich by building on the feelgood factor of one promotion by following it up with a second.
Worst case scenario: Expectations soar to unrealistic levels for Kenny Jackett’s side after promotion and the fans perceive a mid-table finish as a failure.

When I first read the details of the FEB ABS challenge at Artbeadscene, I was so excited for the inspiration was right up my alley. It was a rich painting with flowers aka scattered rose petals, fluttering flags, a beautifully decorated white horse, and gleaming golden accents. I was so attracted to the image, that every time I went to their blog to read a post, I would spend a few minutes gazing at the picture. Strangely enough, I never once read the description of the painting mentioned in the post. I’ll tell you why this is important in a minute.
Choosing beads & components
I created a few new components that I could use. A stamped brass heart colored in pink, A paper flower connector and altered an art bead gifted to me by Lori Schneider by accenting the edges with gold paint. I wanted to use freshwater pearls, dutone crystals with both shiny as well as matt finish and some matt semi precious beads like rose quartz or aventurine. With various ideas but I was a little unsure of how to put them all together to create a piece.
What was the inspiration once again?
Ultimately, when I started writing this post I went back to the inspiration post and actually read it this time. Keep in mind that I still hadn’t started making a piece at this point. It talked about a triumphant English medieval prince gazing up at Christ’s crown of thorns as he was crucified. I was surprised for where was the second crown and more importantly where was Christ in that image? Only then, I saw the black portion towards the right end. Jesus Christ! (literally), so much for my observation skills. This new understanding further confused me – “How am I going to include Christ or Thorns or any religious philosophy in my design?” and just like that, all my previous ideas were thrown out.
Our Inspiration – Two crowns by Sir Frank Dicksee
Roses and thorns ideation & realisation
Coming at this painting from a philosophical angle I realized how when looking at a successful person we see only see bright, shiny things that make us envious. We seldom see their pain, suffering they endure or their sacrifice to create or retain their success. Nonetheless, it that pain and suffering that is underneath all the shining glory – it is the thorn that supports and protects a rose.
This realisation gave me an idea for the necklace. While retaining the beads and the rose connector I looped them together asymmetrically. I made a thorn wreath out of copper wire and patinaed it dark (almost black). Then, I used more wire to set Lori’s pink and gold cab in the bezel. I call my design – Roses and thorns on two of the most impactful components in my piece. You can see the bright rose, the blingly crystals and the gold streaks at a glace, but it is the wire wreath that holds up and supports the piece.
Barb wire style Thorn wreath setting
I originally made the wreath in barb wire style with bits of wire sticking out like thorns. But it was impractical even when the tips were burred, so I tucked them in. The Roses and thorns necklace does not have the same look now but it is easier to wear. I did not use as much gold as I would have liked to use. However, I think that it makes sense as my interpretation is more about the message of the painting than the painting itself. It is about looking past the superficial beauty towards real glory.
So that was my FEBABS 2017 journey. I am happy that I finally went beyond “looking” and saw the painting with both my eyes and brain. Do tell me in the comments about what you see in the painting and if my design makes sense to you.
PS: Thanks to Erin (Prais – Hintz) for writing a fabulous introduction to this necklace on the Artbeadscene blog for the Perfect pairings feature. I couldn’t have described the necklace any better..” In order to truly see the light you need the dark. In order to appreciate the beauty of the rose you need to respect the thorn.”
PSS: Thanks to Tari of Clay buttons for picking my entry as the winner of this challenge. Yay!!
I hope you found it interesting

Clams Broiled with Lemon, Thyme and Parmesan
Highlight clams by cooking them in a little bit of water just long enough for them to open, then dress them delicately with a bit of lemon and white wine and a sprinkling of thyme and Parmesan just before broiling.
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tsp chopped thyme leaves
- 2 Tbsp freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- freshly ground pepper
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp dry white wine
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- kosher salt
- 24 littleneck clams, scrubbed
- 1 tsp finely grated lemon zest
- In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the clams, cover and steam over high heat until they open, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the clams to a platter to cool.
- Preheat the broiler and position a rack 6 inches from the heat. Spread 1/4 inch of kosher salt in an even layer on a small rimmed baking sheet. Remove and discard the top shells of the clams. Carefully loosen the clams in the bottom shells and set them on the salt.
- In a small bowl, whisk the cream with the wine and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Top each clam with 1 teaspoon of the cream mixture and sprinkle with the cheese and thyme. Broil for about 3 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Garnish with the lemon zest and serve.

The .25 Winchester Super Short Magnum (.25 WSSM) is one of the hottest little cartridges you’ve never heard of. Fast, snappy, and with plenty of horsepower to take medium game, it can be an alternative to cartridges like the .25-06 Remington.
If you’ve never heard of the .25 WSSM, that’s probably because it is barely still in production as a cartridge, and no one manufactures rifles chambered in it anymore. But, no worries. Because I’m going to give you the scoop in my in-depth look at the .25 WSSM.
The story of the .25 WSSM is one of a cartridge that was left to die on the vine through no fault of its own. It was introduced in 2004 as the third in Winchester’s Super Short Magnum line. The previous two were the .223 WSSM and the .243 WSSM, introduced in 2002 and 2003, respectively.
The .25 WSSM was derived from the .243 WSSM, which was itself a child of the .300 WSM (Winchester Short Magnum). The intent behind the WSSM line was to create highly efficient cartridges that would deliver magnum power from a cartridge short enough to fit in a short-action, compact rifle.
Magnum only in name…
However, unlike the previous two WSSM cartridges, the .25 WSSM is a magnum in name only. It doesn’t deliver magnum performance, being a slightly less powerful clone of the .25-06 Remington cartridge. Although well suited to medium game like goats and deer, neither it nor its WSSM predecessors ever built up much of a following.
The WSSM line didn’t differ enough from existing cartridges to be considered new and exciting. They also had disadvantages that hindered their acceptance. For one, the large diameter of the case reduced magazine capacity and feed reliability. Another was the fact that rifles chambered in it had a thinner bolt face. This, coupled with the cartridges’ high pressure, created breakage issues.
During the period when the WSSM line was being introduced, Winchester was going through severe financial problems. After a few years of being employee-owned, FN Herstal bought the company in 1981. FN tried numerous strategies to revive Winchester, the WSSM line being the last. But in 2006, production of Winchester rifles ceased.
No WSSM chambering…
When FN was able to resume limited production of Winchester rifles in 2008, none were chambered in any of the WSSM cartridges. If you were to look at a 2006 Winchester catalog, you would see that there were 36 different options for rifles chambered in WSSM. All were designed for adult hunters. This is odd, because the WSSM cartridge fit a short action that could have easily been adopted for a line of youth hunting rifles, but it never was.
At the current time, no one manufactures a rifle chambered in .25 WSSM. There are used rifles available (more on that later), and custom rifle makers can produce them, although most do not offer the scaled-down action that made WSSM special.
The .25 WSSM Cartridge
The .25 WSSM was created by necking up the .243 WSSM cartridge. It is the largest caliber in the WSSM line. The very short, large-diameter case was intended to be more efficient. Like the .300 WSM, the propellent is compressed into a shorter case. That puts it closer to the primer. This results in a faster, cleaner burn, producing better ballistics in a cartridge short enough for a short action.
As mentioned previously, the short, fat case design led to some problems. Reduced feeding reliability was the most immediately noticeable. The early wear and failure due to the thinner bolt face and high pressure of the cartridge revealed itself after years of use. Given that, despite its name, the .25 WSSM didn’t produce magnum performance, it never caught on in popularity.
Here are its specifications:
- Case length: 1.670”
- Overall length: 2.362”
- Bullet diameter: .257”
- Neck diameter: .305”
- Shoulder diameter: .544”
- Base diameter: .555”
- Rim diameter: .535”
- Primer type: Large rifle
- Maximum pressure: 65,000 psi
As I mentioned earlier, the small size of the case meant that it could not contain enough propellent to achieve true magnum performance. Consequently, the .25 WSSM does not deliver magnum ballistics. However, that’s not to say it doesn’t perform well enough. Just that it is not a magnum. In fact, the ballistics of the .25-06 Remington are superior to those of the .25 WSSM.
|Muzzle||200 Yards||Muzzle||200 Yards|
|.25 WSSM 120gr||2385||1612||2990||2459|
|.25-06 Remington 117gr||2513||1793||3110||2627|
Given the lackluster performance of the .25 WSSM as FN/Winchester attempted to build a following for it in the hunting cartridge market, it isn’t any wonder that the cartridge was less than successful. Add this to the fact that hunters would have to buy a new rifle to shoot it, and it makes one wonder what FN/Winchester was thinking. Especially given that they did not make an effort to design scaled-down youth rifles to try to open up a new market.
Uses for the .25 WSSM
The .25 WSSM is a hunting round. Period. It was and remains to those who still shoot it, an excellent rifle cartridge for medium game like mountain goats, pronghorn antelope, and deer. It was never designed or intended to be a precision shooting rifle. It does not have the long-range performance for it. And with the high cost and very limited availability of ammunition, it is certainly not a plinking rifle.
But .25 WSSM does have a loyal following among some shooters. Those who still shoot it say it has mild recoil and is very effective on deer and antelope. They also say it is a lot of fun to shoot. So, it does have enough going for it to motivate some folks to go to the trouble of finding a rifle and ammunition to hunt with it.
Rifles that Shoot the .25 WSSM
There are currently no rifles manufactured by any firearms manufacturer chambered for .25 WSSM. Winchester only offered their Model 70 chambered for .25 WSSM for two years. Likewise, Browning produced their A-Bolt rifle in .25 WSSM for the same period of time. But production on both ended in 2006. No other manufacturers have ever offered a rifle chambered in it as part of their line.
These days, if you want a rifle chambered in .25 WSSM, you will have to settle for a used one or have one custom-built. Those with experience with the .25 WSSM warn that when buying a used rifle, pay particular attention to the chamber throat as the cartridge is very rough on it. Given that they were only manufactured for two years, there aren’t that many floating around.
Nevertheless, if you want to shoot the cartridge, you will have to take your chances on finding a decent used rifle. Your only other alternative is to have one custom-built. However, given the mediocre ballistics and potential for damage to the rifle, unless you are a devoted collector, it might not be worth the cost of having one built.
.25 WSSM Ammunition Availability
.25 WSSM ammunition is not easy to find on the commercial market. Fortunately for those who like to shoot it, Winchester manufactures a 120 gr cartridge in their Super-X line and an 85 gr load in their Ballistic Silver Tip line. Both generally run around $2.75 per round but are often more expensive because it is hard to find in stock.
HSM (The Hunting Shack, Inc.) also offers a 117 gr hunting load for .25 WSSM at about the same price. If you want a different load or don’t want to spend that much per round, you can always hand load your own.
Either way, finding ammo for a .25 WSSM isn’t like ordering a case of .308 Remington. Even retailers and online ammunition dealers who carry it are frequently sold out of Winchester ammo. HSM is more of a specialty manufacturer, so finding a retailer that carries it can be a challenge. Your best bet would be to go to an online ammo search engine and see what they have listed.

Many calibers of rifle cartridges have come and gone over the decades. Some, like the .45-70 Government and .30-06 Springfield, are classics that not only withstand the test of time but seem to keep on trucking forever. Many stay popular long after the rifles they were designed for are no longer regularly produced but are replaced by newer, more modern versions.
Others, like the .25 WSSM, had such a short lifespan that they were practically stillborn. But that’s one of the great things about the shooting sports, there’s always a manufacturer, whether big or small, who is willing to take a chance on innovation to offer something new. Whether that innovation flies or flops, it keeps the industry fresh and interesting.
Until next time, be safe and happy shooting.

I think I already have that harness for the black speaker plug.sorry for so many msgs but if you follow those instructions and it does not turn on then check your fuse located under the hood in that fuse box. actually disconnect your battery while you do all this to avoid that issue
But will all my speakers power? The dealer I bought my car from had an aftermarket radio but no deck. Previous owner had the door speakers switched (the top tweeter plug was plugged into the bottom speaker, and the bottom speaker plug was plugged into the top tweeter) does that make sense?
I switched them back to normal. But Before I switched them back, I bought an aftermarket radio and hooked it up with the harness. I only got sound out of the bottom speakers in the front? Do u think since I changed the plugs back to normal now all speakers will work?

"What the educator does in teaching is to make it possible for the students to become themselves."
Socio-emotional learning (SEL) seems to be at the core of effective communication and can contribute to language learning. However, integrating SEL in curriculum design seems a daunting task to most educators – possibly due to its complex nature. This blog post proposes a reflection on challenging ourselves and creating conditions to enable more confident communication in the classroom and, hopefully, in the world.
What is confidence?
For this proposed learning context, we define confidence as a child’s feeling or belief that they can rely on themselves and others, appreciating their emotions, skills, abilities and strengths, while at the same time acknowledging their challenges, impulses and frustrations.
Teachers can aim to promote the development of healthy self-esteem (Nelsen, Lott and Glenn, 2013), embracing respect and responsibility from childhood.
By encouraging confidence in the language classroom, we can provide the space for kids to acknowledge their emotions and feelings, and to learn together how to better manage them in a positive and cooperative manner. In practical terms, confidence in communication may enable children to express themselves when they feel sad, frustrated, and irritated, as well as when they are feeling loved, proud, and curious.
The diversity of skills students bring to the classroom may be an enriching tool for learning. Confidence should be built so that all the children in the school feel they belong in their world and are equipped to communicate in an ever-growing range of situations beyond the classroom. Integrating SEL into the curriculum can shed light on the early development of skills that are often crucial to life in society – being empathetic, having difficult conversations in a constructive manner, being accountable, and communicating effectively in general. Ideally, changing the world involves giving every child their own voice and enabling them to be part of a society we are perhaps only imagining at the moment. By nurturing confident communication skills in the classroom, teachers may empower children to act towards more constructive conversations, collaboration, and a diverse world where the differences are celebrated and brought together.
SEL contributes to a more structured development of autonomy and agency, improving young learners’ self-awareness and self-esteem, thus positively affecting their academic achievement. Andrés (1999) observes the impact of confidence on social interaction, relationships, achievement and growth. Confident communication is not a new concept, yet not always given enough attention in the classroom.
Perhaps the challenge of dealing with the complexity of human emotions and the multitude of combinations of reactions in the classroom contribute to focussing on content curriculum demands for a more linear approach and measurable short-term goals in the classroom. However, the benefits of integrating SEL should be given more attention as SEL may equip young learners to approach content and language learning in a more independent manner, as they develop socio-emotional skills to deal with mistakes, to ask for help, and to solve problems.
The role of the teacher
Children can learn a lot by observing other people’s behaviour and that may be one of the most powerful roles of a teacher: being the person that positively affects learners’ behaviour. In SEL, we can only teach who we are.
The good news is that education does not aim at developing perfect human beings (is that such a thing?), but rather people who take responsibility for their mistakes, acknowledge ‘flawed’ reactions, feel proud of their achievements, and have a healthy confidence in their ability to learn. More importantly, education aims at developing people who feel safe to be who they are. In that sense, teachers are not ‘superheroes’ or flawless human beings either, but confident, socio-emotionally aware beings who support the growth of others.
Some tips to inspire learning through action:
- Allowing room for unpredictable questions in the classroom – children tend to be creative and encouraging their questions may communicate that we do not know everything;
- Treating errors as opportunities for learning, through constructive feedback and opportunities to correct production, or perform again if it is a speaking task;
- Communicating clearly and respectfully in and outside the classroom;
- Celebrating achievements for each learner in class – they are all different, thus will achieve steps at different moments, in different manners. The teacher can plan how to create an atmosphere where they all feel they belong;
- Acknowledging conflict and tension and helping children acknowledge feelings and seek connection and solutions (see Nelsen, Lott and Glenn, 2013);
- Frequently collaborating with other teachers;
- Promoting group work and collaboration among learners;
- Believing they can develop and learn;
- Believing in yourself – sometimes the biggest challenge here.
The importance of collaboration
When kids cooperate and work collaboratively with their peers, they can (in)directly develop their patience, the ability to help others, and achieve collective goals. In language learning, they may develop the skills to take turns, to ask questions, to interrupt, to ask for help, to paraphrase, and to listen actively. The benefits are numerous and the opportunities we give learners to collaborate in class enable the development of socio-emotional skills that will positively affect communication.
Besides this, collaboration may increase their potential: what children can do beyond their zone of proximal development (Vygotsky, 1978) is boosted with support from peers, not only the teacher. Working collaboratively may help learners to take small steps outside their comfort zones and to learn to embrace challenges in a safe environment. This may also increase their sense of belonging as they learn they can achieve more together.
Some ideas for collaboration:
- Encouraging the group to build stories collaboratively and acting them out;
- Developing projects together – depending on the challenges set, learners will explore their world together and build knowledge;
- Setting up activities that are meaningful to the group and reflect their identity: cooperative games, exploring the environment and asking questions;
- Establishing routines that include SEL development. For instance, discussing their strengths, other people’s strengths and how they can be combined together;
- Teaching positive language for children to give feedback on their peers’ work and assess their own.
Overall, teachers need to be dreamers, believers and sufficiently patient. Education is a process, and consistency is important towards achieving a non-linear development of socio-emotional skills. By helping kids face challenges instead of avoiding them, teachers can help them build confidence in their skills to navigate the adversities of their future world. Although the true impact is not easily measurable, what is done in the classroom, through a solid integration of SEL in our curricula, is ultimately what affects the environment the children will build. We are in this together towards a better world!

The space at 289 Fifth Avenue (between 1st and 2nd Streets) has undergone a lot of changes over the past five years. Most recently, SP Vino opened and closed and now, according to Brownstoner, the space is slated to become a brick oven pizza joint called "Pete's Pizzeria and Bar."
Now, of course, we really didn't need to link to Brownstoner on this issue because we noticed the sign about a week ago and we walked away scratching our heads. On the one hand, we were happy to see an empty space filled on the avenue. On the other hand, according to the BID's Business Directory, Fifth Avenue is host to at least 20 Italian eateries (between Dean and 18th Streets), many of which have pizza on the menu. I mean, it was just back in July that we welcomed Campo De Fiori!
So, how many pizza places is too many? Will you give this one a try? Which Fifth Avenue pizza joint is your favorite?

Belleville – St. Elizabeth’s Hospital officials are seeking to transform the 138-year-old institution into a new, union-built, 144-bed project regional health center that would be located along Interstate 64 in nearby O’Fallon.
Officials estimate they will invest about $300 million in the project.
The hospital’s current location on the south site of Belleville would continue to be used for specialists, imaging, lab work and primary care, but it would no longer have patient rooms for overnight stays.
Hospital officials brought their plans to the Southwestern Illinois Building & Construction Trades Council at its meeting last week as they began an effort to build community support for the project. It would be located on 114 acres between exits 14 and 16 on the northeast side of I-64, near Green Mount Road and the Hilton Garden Inn.
Charles “Totsie” Bailey, president of the Building Trades Council, said the project deserves labor’s backing.
“We’re going to support it 1,000 percent,” he said. “It’s great for the economy and the whole metro-east area.”
Bailey noted that by building with union workers, the hospital will keep the construction money in the community. “They’re all local people who will benefit,” he said. “That’s a win-win situation, period.”
IMPROVED HOSPITAL CONNECTIONS
The hospital is owned by Hospital Sisters Health System (HSHS), which operates 13 hospitals in Illinois and Wisconsin. One idea of the building project would be to provide better connections to the group’s two other local hospitals, both called St. Joseph’s, one in Highland and the other in Breese.
St. Elizabeth’s President and CEO Maryann Reese said the traditional location used to be at the center of the community, handy to railroads and two-lane highways, but now is out of the way and difficult for many patients to reach. She noted that in the St. Louis region, most of the large medical centers are located in the I-64 corridor, and that’s where the hospital bought the land 2½ years ago. The current location is limited in its potential growth and functions. As one example, she said, it often has poor cell-phone reception.
A UNION-BUILT PROJECT
Reese said the hospital is definitely planning on a union-built project. “We want to make sure it’s on budget, on time, and of lasting quality,” she said.
Jim Burke, vice president of the HSHS Southern Illinois Division, told the Building Trades Council that the medical center has two major hurdles to clear. One is to get a final decision from the hospital system itself to invest the money. The other is to obtain a Certificate of Need from a state committee, the Health Facilities and Services Review Board. Detailed plans will go to that board for consideration next year, he said.
“It is probably the hurdle,” Burke said. “We can still get there, but that thing is beyond our control. Community support – or lack of it – can influence the board one way or the other.”
COMMUNITY SUPPPORT NEEDED
Burke noted that Belleville supporters of the hospital have found it difficult to endorse a move to O’Fallon, but he said the community will be better served by the move.
“It’s tough for a lot of folks, personally and politically,” he said. “But it is not a good idea to have that hospital shrink into a small, community hospital.”
He noted that the Belleville site has several up-to-date medical buildings that would be used for decades to come. “It would not be an abandoned building, like a Ballpark Village hole in the ground,” he said. The remaining clinics could also provide urgent care, which provides office treatment that doesn’t require an emergency room.
O’FALLON ALREADY ON BOARD
O’Fallon has already approved a tax increment financing district of up to $22.5 million for the I-64 site, which could be used to prepare the site for construction by protecting it from potential mine subsidence. The Central School District agreed to the plan after long negotiations.
Reese, a nurse, was made CEO 2 ½ years ago, in part to lead a turnaround effort to stem losses. It was honored last year as one of the top 50 hospitals in the nation for cardiovascular care after a review of 1,000 hospitals. The hospital co-exists in Belleville with a large competitor, Belleville Memorial Hospital, which has announced expansion plans of its own, in this case a 94-bed satellite hospital in nearby Shiloh.

Fighting Tiger - LiberalFunction introduction
"Ah, well, man was made to mourn, Mrs. Doctor, dear. That sounds as if it ought to be in the Bible, but they tell me a person named Burns wrote it. And there is no doubt that we are born to trouble as the sparks fly upward. As for Matilda, I do not know what to think of her. None of our family ever broke their legs before. But whatever she has done she is still my sister, and I feel that it is my duty to go and wait on her, if you can spare me for a few weeks, Mrs. Doctor, dear."
In the run up to Christmas, Pocket Gamer has teamed up with the developers behind some of this year's best games to give you ten award-winning iOS games for free. Come back every day for the next two weeks to get your games.

Today's entry on our advent calendar is the brilliantly bone-filled cranium flinger Skullduggery. You can grab it from the App Store right now by following this link.

Nordcurrent's enormously successful iOS and Android time management simulator, Cooking Fever, is now available on Windows Phone.

If you're yet to check it out, it challenges you to cook a variety of delicious meals from across the globe in 12 different restaurants like the Bakery, Chinese, Seafood, and Mexican.

In total, there are over 100 different meals to cook, and you do so by mixing together a variety of tasty ingredients under an intense time limit before handing them over to your impatient customers.

Cooking Fever currently has over 400 levels to complete, and that list has grown considerably since launch. There have been several updates and each has included a brand new restaurant with its own unique challenges.

You can also upgrade each of your restaurants with new appliances and decorations to attract - and serve - more customers.

The Windows Phone launch follows a very successful 2015 for Cooking Fever, which reached a whopping 70 million downloads across all platforms - as well has remaining securely in the top 50 of the Top Grossing Charts in the US App Store.

If you'd like to see what the fuss is about for yourself, head on over to the App Store [download], Google Play [download], or, for the first time ever, the Microsoft Store [download].

Ateam’s Unison League allows you to team up with friends across the world and take on monsters in real-time battles. The RPG’s highly customisable character design, competitive guild system and colourful 2D graphics have seen it awarded plenty of plaudits from players.

And now aspiring adventurers will have even more content to sink their thumbs into with a brand new update - but this is an update with a difference, as it’s entirely inspired by hit anime Neon Genesis Evangelion.

In an unlikely collaboration Ateam has joined forces with Evangelion Racing, a racing project in which cars and superbikes (with aesthetics inspired by the anime) take to racetracks across Japan to compete. The result is a unique Unison League update based on the popular Evangelion franchise. This is the first time Evangelion Racing characters make an appearance in a mobile game.

Included is an original plotline set to unfold over two weeks, with regular updates featuring new content to unlock. You’ll also be able to equip a ton of new cosmetic items, including those modeled on Evangelion characters Shinji, Rei and Asuka – as well as the formidable mechas Unit 01 and 02.

There are lots of brand new attack animations to see in action, and a racy log-in bonus – Rei Ayanami in a speed queen outfit.This latest addition will be welcome news if you’re a fan of JRPGs, anime – or just want to dress up as a mecha for an afternoon.

For fear of harms that preach in our behoof..
ConclusionThe gangster is the sixth game in the New Orleans Gangster series, the fifth Gangster game to be released for iOS and Android will be added to Windows. The game is set in New Orleans.

Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone is working on a new game set in the same universe, but the developer is putting that project on hold to continue creating new content for Stardew Valley, namely in the shape of a new complimentary content update.

Writing in a blog post, Barone shared that he always finds himself returning to Stardew Valley, even after moving on to the next game. Barone won’t be going it alone, however. Although Barone parted ways with publisher Chucklefish Games, he will be assembling a new team to help manage the workload. Barone is currently handling self-publishing duties for Stardew Valley on all platforms with the exception of Switch and mobile.

After 13 years in service, Nintendo is set to shut down its loyalty programme Club Nintendo in Europe and the US, and will replace it with a new one later this year.

If you forgot, Club Nintendo is the service where you register games and consoles to earn stars, which you can use to buy exclusive goodies like, erm, keyrings and notepads.

From April 1st, Nintendo will no longer include those red product registration cards with its packaged games. And from April 20th, you'll no longer be able to get stars by registering eShop games.

And then on September 30th, the programme will shut down altogether and your stars balance will expire so if you want a Luigi bathrobe or a Pikmin 3 ringtone you should probably go get them.

Actually, there are some pretty cool items on there right now including a dashing Mario Kart 8 t-shirt and a replica Game & Watch unit. Nintendo also says that it will add more items in the coming months.

When the new programme launches, early adopters will be able to download Flipnote Studio 3D for free.

Pharmacy and property misappropriation in Uzhgorod resulted in lost millions (OPINION)
This is the conclusion our contributor Yaroslav Kozich came to having analyzed the advertisement of the Municipal Economy Department of Uzhgorod City Council, published in the newspaper "Uzhgorod", № 25 (718) dd. July 6, 2013.
According to it,
- The pharmacy in area of 133.9 sq. m. at Drugetiv street, 71 was sold for 231,396 UAH (213 USD per 1 sq. m.);
- The pharmacy in area of 259 sq.m. at 8 Bereznya street, 30 was sold for 455,466 UAH (213 USD per 1 sq. m.);
- The pharmacy in area of 120,8 sq.m. at Svoboda Avenue, 18 was sold for 272,372 UAH (278 USD per 1 sq. m.).
Given the fact that commercial facilities in this part of Uzhgorod are offered for at least 1,000 USD per square meter, and properties on Liberty Avenue - for at least 2,000 USD, we can assume that the cost of Uzhgorod pharmacies was understated by almost 3,650,000 UAH, the author says.

Morgan Reese is the Playboy Cybergirl of the Month for July 2011. Morgan had a blast during her Cyber Girl of the Month shoot. “It was like a party and I loved it,” she says. “It’s freaking amazing to have guys out there looking at my pictures… and wanting to see more of me!” Life off-set is “pretty normal” for Morgan with school and work keeping her busy but she notices her life changing in ways she didn’t expect. “I guess I’m kind of modest,” Morgan says, “but there are people at school who know about me posing for Playboy. I’ve got to say—I like the attention and I think the best part is knowing that I was able to do something like this for myself. It feels good!”

For the composition of this formula, we selected scientifically and clinically tested ingredients that have proven their effect on health in general and skin in particular.
It’s a high-quality formula, as could be expected from Loïs Lee, we did not make any concessions in terms of dosage nor ingredients.
We consciously chose effective quantities, instead of adding certain ingredients for marketing purposes. For example, a daily dose contains 40 mg of patented rice ceramides. This is the required quantity proven to restore the moisture balance of the skin and to protect against signs of aging. Hyaluronic acid is also a popular ingredient that is often used in supplements. Unfortunately, not always in the proven minimum quantity of 120 mg, so then it actually has more to with marketing purpose than with actual skin improvement. We on the other hand, have incorporated 140 mg in our No Collagen Collagen Booster!

In the future, there could be a faster way of getting to and from the city of Manila and Rizal. Called the Pasig River Expressway (PAREX), the proposed elevated toll road will be built to follow the 25-kilometer Pasig River which will result in reduced travel time for motorists bound for Rizal/Manila.
The elevated expressway will span a total of 19.365-km and will have a total of six lanes. The proposed expressway project is intended to start from Radial Road 10 in Manila and will end at a connection to the South East Metro Manila Expressway located at Circumferential Road 6 (C-6). In addition, the road project will also utilize a 2.7-km portion of the Skyway Stage 3 from Nagtahan to Plaza Azul.
Once the road project is finished, PAREX will be made up of three segments. Segment 1 will cover R-10 to Plaza Azul which is around 5.74-km. Then from Plaza Azul, the planned expressway will link up with San Juran River via the Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3 – which will span about 2.7-km. Segment 2, on the other hand, will measure 7.325-km and will see the expressway connect from the San Juan River all the way to C5 Intersection. Finally, Segment 3 will bridge C-5 Intersection with C-6 Intersection and span about 6.3-km.
How much will this project cost? According to the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB), the elevated expressway will cost PhP 95.413 billion to build. The TRB also estimated that it will take around 3 years for the project to be completed.
As to who will be on point for the proposed expressway, the Pasig River Expressway will be a joint project agreement between the Philippine National Construction Corporation (PNCC) and the San Miguel Holdings Corporation (SMHC).
When will construction begin? Well, the members of the TRB board has already approved of it 'in principle'. However, the building of the project has yet to officially start. Once completed, it will greatly benefit motorists that need to travel between Rizal and Manila, or anywhere else in Luzon for that matter given how PAREX is intended to connect to other expressway projects such as Skyway Stage 3.
The interesting bit is that since they will be building on top of a river, the government shouldn't have problems (theoretically) when securing rights of way.


Social media keeps Duran Duran fans hooked
The '80s band still attracts thousands of online fans with their robust online presence.
By Suzi Parker / June 20, 2012
Duran Duran is still keeping fans enthralled.
After more than 30 years in the music business, the 1980s pin-up boys have long graduated from the covers of Tiger Beat and Bop. But the British band still has the golden touch in connecting with their millions of fans through vast channels of social media, contests, and the much desired meet-and-greet.
Take today, for example. It's bassist John Taylor's birthday, and he posted a handwritten birthday message for one lucky Duranie to win. Earlier this month, keyboardist Nick Rhodes sent a video birthday message along with a playlist of some of his favorite songs.
Duran Duran fans spend hard
Tonight, Duran Duran makes a special appearance in New York City at a private show with DJ Steve Aoki. The band gave away tickets to the event, billed as a mystery gig, to fan community members. (Yes, Duran Duran still has a rabid fan club.)
Maya Garcia, a Duranie since 1982, received two tickets to the show. She paid for airfare from Chicago to the Big Apple on short notice in order to attend. It's super special for her because it's John's birthday - although Nick is her favorite.
"I am expecting a bit more interaction with the band than during a normal show, since the crowd will be comprised of mostly Duran Duran fans, most of whom are fan club members, the 'hardcore' contingent," she says. "I expect to hear rarities or tracks never performed live before. And I also hope to see the band members sing 'Happy Birthday' to John Taylor. That should be both entertaining and amusing to watch."
It's no surprise that Duran Duran has intensely engaged 21st century technology. The band was one of the first to shoot glossy music videos in the 1980s. Lead singer Simon Le Bon running through the jungle in "Hungry Like The Wolf" has become an iconic image of the decade. In 1997, Duran Duran touted that it was the first band to sell a single on the Internet.
The band's social media goddess, Katy Krassner, manages the popular Duran Duran website and various streams of social media, including Pinterest, the most recent Duranie addiction.
"I've been working with Duran Duran for over a decade, and the evolution of their social communities has truly been amazing," Krassner says.
Krassner snaps candid pictures of the band at rehearsals and tweets them to nearly 70,000 Twitter followers and 860,000 Facebook fans. She sends reminders about upcoming media appearances and interacts with fans about the band. She also creates content across media platforms.
Now is a busy time for Krassner. That's because Duran Duran is releasing its first live DVD and CD, "A Diamond in the Mind," in nearly a decade in July. They are also preparing for more dates on their current world tour and will headline a major concert on the opening night of the Olympic Games in London.
Krassner is currently overseeing a Facebook giveaway that asks fans to change their profile pictures to one of three featuring the Diamond project. Daily winners receive a CD and a shout-out on the band's Facebook page. In a move reminiscent of the '80s when Duranies waited breathlessly for MTV world premiere videos, the band will debut the live concert on Facebook on July 8. For $4.99, fans can watch the concert online, and then participate in a live Q&A session with the band after they play a show in Istanbul.
So much interaction has reignited Duranies who have never stopped loving their teen idols.
"The band's fans have been so supportive, and have literally followed them off magazine pages onto the Internet," Krassner says.

text: The delightful story of an unconventional family of kids who learn the ups and downs of working together. Merra, Locky, Roozle, Finn, and little Jory love their ramble shamble house. It's a lot of work taking care of the garden, the chickens, and themselves, but they all pitch in to make it easier--even Jory, who looks after the mud puddles. When they come across a picture of a proper house in a book, they start wondering if their own home is good enough. So they get to work propering up the garden, the chickens, and even the mud puddles. But the results aren't exactly what they expected, and when their now-proper household's youngest member goes missing, they realize that their ramble shamble home might be just right for their family, after all.

SINGAPORE : In view of the rainy season, the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) has advised private home owners in hilly areas to maintain their retaining walls.
The authority is encouraging home owners to engage professional engineers to inspect retaining walls as they can pose a potential hazard if they are not maintained.
This is especially during the rainy season where excessive water can build up in the soil behind the retaining walls.
The added pressure may cause weak walls to give way.
If not properly maintained, BCA will serve a Dangerous Building Order on the building and property owner. The Order will require the owner to appoint a professional engineer to recommend rectification works to remove the danger and make the slope and earth retaining structure safe.
Owners who fail to comply can face a maximum fine of S$100,000 or jail of 12 months or both, and a maximum fine of S$2,500 per day for continued offence after conviction.

We all want to give our families a magical Christmas experience, but due to lack of money may you are going to cutting down on quality. Still there are some ideas, which can make your Christmas more enjoyable than ever without spending a lot of money.
1. Make a budget for Christmas in advance
Set an amount, based on your savings for Christmas. Separate the money on Christmas festivities, gifts, catering or whatever else you think important. However, stick to your budget so that you understand what you can afford and what not.
2. Talk about the costs and gifts to your family
Sit down together and discuss about your budget and gifts. Share what you can afford for each member. This sharing is very important in the large families. Suggest everyone for choosing gifts thoughtfully rather than looking at prices.
3. Cut out all unnecessary items
There are a lot of items that are not necessary at Christmas time. Buy an artificial tree instead of a real tree because a real tree costs money every year, but an artificial tree is an one-off cost. So buy an artificial Christmas tree (and preferably from sales offers) and look after it for next years.
Save your money by not including the finite resources in your Christmas celebration such as Ribbons, bows, fancy tape, sticker etc. Lighten your home, but don’t spend any big amounts in lighting outside of your home.
4. Take advantage of sales offers for Christmas
Keep your eyes regularly on sales offers, particularly closer to Christmas, end of summer or sales after thanks giving etc. Moreover, take advantage of post-Christmas sales for your next Christmas and keep them somewhere safe and use when Christmas comes again.
5. Make Christmas gifts on your own.
Make your printable gifts by you own. Use your skills where you are best such as knitting, sewing, decoupage, crocheting, woodwork etc. Make handmade gifts from inexpensive and recycled items.
6. Make Christmas decorations on your own
There are many clever Christmas decorations that you can make from your available home items such as make your Christmas ornaments from dough or make a small Christmas penguin ornaments.
7. Store your Christmas decoration well
Look after your Christmas decoration. It means that there is no need to change decoration every year. Just keep brittle decorations carefully and place all decorations in a store including your artificial tree.
8. Start saving straight after Christmas for next year
Put some money into a savings account each month for next Christmas and stick to do it. Your savings will give you a lump sum to spend on December rather than scraping together money. Plan well so that your savings cover food, decorations, gifts and anything else you may buy at Christmas.
There are still a lot of things you can do to celebrate Christmas without spending a big amount of money. Make a nice meal, but not an expensive one. Enjoy Christmas with your family together. Focus on fun and creativity rather than feeling guilty about not having much money for Christmas. Share your Christmas experience here with us.
