On November 28, 2017, students of "Tourism" department from Tour-17 group and curator Kuralay Bazarbekovna held an open curatorial hour on the subject "Drug addiction – the disease of the century". Teachers of the department were invited to attend open lesson: Akisheva Erkesh Kasymbekovna, Mussabayeva Asemkul Kananovna, Omarova Aiganym Saparovna, Akhylbekova Bagdatgul Romanovna.
The curatorial hour began with a presentation that contained full information about drugs and their types, harm and consequences.
Comprehensively studying the topic, the students wrote the script and after the presentation part they played the scene "Pain of the Soul". Students tried to show that drug abuse is a serious public health problem that affects almost every community and family in some way, anyone can become a drug abuser. Working on this scene, the students came to the conclusion that while no one knows why one person becomes a drug abuser while another doesn’t, drug abuse does tend to run in families. Drug abuse plays a role in many major social problems and can lead to homelessness, crime, and missed work or problems with keeping a job.
In addition, the students prepared a video interview with students of the 1-4 courses of the Economic Faculty. According to the survey, young people spoke out against drug and called all people for a healthy lifestyle.
By the end of the lesson 2 groups consisting of teachers and students took part in the game "Do You Know?", the game was interesting and exciting. The winners were awarded prizes. Having played the game, the students of Tour-17 group sang a song "Bir uidin balasyndai" with the whole group and gave the speech to the invited teachers. The teachers stressed that open lesson was held at a high level and the goals were achieved. The students thanked the teaching staff for their participation in the open curatorial hour.


Solidarity Budget Draws Even More Money From Reserves In Unprecedented Move
Times are hard for many Singaporeans, as the Covid-19 pandemic sparks both health and wealth fears.
With the spread not seemingly ready to stop soon, emergency measures are imperative to help citizens tide through this period. Along comes the Solidarity Budget, which Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) Heng Swee Keat announced in Parliament today (6 Apr).
Covering various segments of society like workers, firms, and households, the $5.1 billion scheme needs substantial financial backing.
Desperate times call for the country’s reserves once again, after the initial round in the previous budget announcement.
$4 billion more from reserves to fund Solidarity Budget
The Resilience Budget on 26 Mar had already promised various financial protection schemes for Singaporeans, amounting to roughly $55 billion.
Out of that massive sum, $17 billion will come from past reserves, an already whopping number compared to $4.9 billion in 2009.
2009 was the first time Singapore dipped into its reserves, with then-President S.R. Nathan’s approval to tide us through the devastating financial crisis.
But as the situation escalates, the amount seems insufficient, thus necessitating a further $4 billion announced in today’s Solidarity Budget.
That means a total of $21 billion from our reserves will go towards helping Singaporeans cope financially with Covid-19 impacts.
Highest amount withdrawn from national reserves
That’s more than 5 times the amount we drew back in 2009, during what many remember as our worst financial crisis yet.
Singapore emerged from it relatively unscathed, and managed to return the $4 billion to our reserves within 2 years through tax collections.
Whether we can do the same this time around is unclear, and how long it will take to recover is only within everyone’s best guesses.
What’s important for now is that citizens receive all the help they can get to overcome this crisis.
Once we see it through, hopefully everyone will be safe and comfortable enough to resume life per normal, and get Singapore back on her feet.

Affiliated Interests Founder
Aleksandar Rodic is the son of Radisav Rodic, founder of the Kurir tabloid. Aleksandar is a controversial Serbian businessman who owns many companies in the field of media business and/or other.
Aleksandar Rodic has been in the media business since 2009, when he took over the management of Kurir daily paper following his father's arrest.
Under his management, Kurir has maintained close ties with every government to follow with seldom ups and downs. This has subsequently led to the company's growth. In 2014, Aleksandar Rodic spread the business by acquiring Adria Media Group, the largest media group in the Balkans which publishes Elle, National Geographic, Newsweek, Cosmopolitan, Men's Health...
In the November of 2015 Rodic got in the center of attention, when the famous front page of Kurir was published, "Srbijo, izvini". Aleksandar Rodic, author of the article “Srbijo izvini” created a steer in media community and public, when apologizing to the citizens of Serbia for, as he stated, being forced to be a part of propaganda team of Aleksandar Vučić. Following the publishing of the article there was ongoing public dispute between A. Rodic, Zeljko Mitrovic, the owner of Pink TV and Dragan J. Vucicevic, owner and editor of tabloid Informer. This public media conflict lasted for several months, after things got back to normal with no public debate about A. Rodic statements.
In the June of 2017 Kurir daily published the article "Vucic preko EPS finansira privatnu vojsku". Aleksandar Vucic, former Prime minister and now President, was linked to financing the football fans group through public enterprises "Electric Power Industry of Serbia" and "Airport Nikola Tesla Belgrade" in exchange for their favours. This led to another series of public conflict between A. Rodic, D.J. Vucicevic (Informer tabloid) and Zeljko Mitrovic (Pink TV). A series of scandalous front pages followed and special program on Pink. Aleksandar Rodic announced that he is going politics since he has the courage to fight against A. Vucic dictatorship and his censorship of the Serbian media.

Neighbors said the biggest concern in the neighborhood was once speeding -- but now it's homicide.
"It's just hard to believe in this quiet neighborhood that something like this would happen," said Jo Espejo, another neighbor in the area.
State police said they still aren't exactly sure what happened because their only witnesses may be a 9-year-old and his young siblings. The child told the dispatcher he did not know who had killed Burke and Comer.
"We received a 911 call at the state police post from a child who was upset who had said that last night, he heard some noises in his house -- what he thought was gunshots. He was scared and concerned," said state Trooper Steve Pavey.
Investigators said they spoke with Comer's husband and examined his truck. They said, however, that they had no reason to believe at this time that the slayings were a domestic incident.
Neighbors said they didn?t think there could be any other explanation.
"I really don't feel this was a general act of crime. It doesn't strike me as that. This is not a crime area and it wouldn't make sense to do that," said Ghelardini.
Neighbors said their biggest regret was not being closer to their neighbors.
"I really feel horrible that they didn't know us. I would never want any child to have to sit through that and know what happened," said Ghelardini.
The children are ages 9, 5 and 1 and a half years old. State police said they were taken to Lincoln Trail Hospital to speak with the crisis intervention team.

It’s been a year of talking about a need for better health care and more funding for frontline workers and hospitals. It’s been a year (over a year) where we’ve talked about the lack of access in urban and rural areas. And these areas where there is a severe lack of access need help. There has been a documented gap in regards to accessible health care in rural areas, especially in Michigan. Just as in other rural communities, there is a gap in healthcare workers. There is also a shortage of proper hospitals, with only 71 operational as of now.
The COVID-19 pandemic has displayed a need for improved access and increased availability when it comes to rural areas. That’s why a $2.5 million grant awarded to the Michigan Department of Health could be so critical to helping to close the health care gap in those regions.
Michigan Department of Health Gets Grant to Hire More Healthcare Workers
So, let’s talk more about what this grant award means. The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity has been awarded a $2.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Labor’s H-1B Rural Healthcare Grant Program. The funds will address healthcare worker and staffing shortages in rural areas of Michigan.
Over the next four years, the goal is to hire 430 new healthcare workers to fill staffing shortages across rural Michigan.
Here’s what Michigan Labor and Economics Acting Director Susan Corbin had to say about these new grant awards: “These funds will support the efforts of Michigan Rural Enhanced Access to Careers in Healthcare (MiREACH), which reaches into rural communities to address critical healthcare workforce shortages,” said Corbin. “Ensuring our state’s rural healthcare providers are able to find high-quality talent will improve their ability to provide lifesaving and community-supporting services.”
MiREACH will lead LEO in creating these much-needed employment programs that will work to address these shortages across all the areas with a shortage. Rural areas comprise over 18% of Michigan’s population, and this could really increase health outcomes for those who are struggling. Another thing that could help make a difference is increased access to broadband, which would allow for telehealth to be expanded.
GrantWatch Is Proud to List Healthcare-Related Grants
Health and medical grants can provide critical funding to key projects that improve the health of the communities that nonprofits, agencies, and other eligible organizations serve. That’s why GrantWatch is so proud to list an entire category of Health and Medical grants on our website. There are currently over 1000 grants under this category right now.

There are many way to improve your home theater, and adding sound-absorbing panels is an inexpensive way of doing it. In my case, it's almost a necessity: the hard concrete walls in my basement home theater have a nasty tendency to bounce sound around in unpleasant ways. The effect was made even worse when the carpet was replaced with hard laminate floors.
The walls themselves were mostly bare, painted concrete. The walls needed decoration - artwork, pictures, whatever. Just something to make the place look less sterile.
My home theater also happens to share a space with the kids' playroom.
So what happens when you put all these requirements into blender and pour the frothy goop into a big, chilled mug? Simple, yet effective child-decorated sound absorbing panels.
Step 1: How They Work
The purpose of a sound absorbing panel is obvious: it absorbs sound in a room. When placed in strategic locations along the wall, the effect is dramatic. High frequency "ringing" is killed off, and bass is no longer muddy or boomy. All those sound waves that would have bounced off the walls are instead mostly absorbed by the panels, so that the primary wave from the speakers is what you hear most.
The basic construction of these panels is simple, and certainly nothing new. They are simple artistic canvases with thick wood frames, stuffed with sound-absorbing "eggcrate" foam. The panels are decorated to suit the decor of the room. In my case, decorated with the help of my wife and kids, to add colour and fun to our home theater/rec room/play room.

Telangana’s K Chandrashekar Rao said there is “no other option but lockdown “.
Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao today said that he has requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi for an extension of the lockdown –which is expected to continue until April – arguing that there is no other option. “We need to save lives, we can save the economy later,” the Telangana Chief Minister said he told the Prime Minister.
Last month, PM Modi had declared a three-week lockdown – the country has eight more days to go. The government is considering modalities of lifting the lockdown – the Prime Minister has asked Chief Ministers for suggestions on the matter.
The Center, though, hasn’t been forthcoming on when the lockdown will be lifted. Indicating that the situation is fluid, Union minister Prakash Javadekar today said: “We are monitoring the world situation every minute. A decision will be taken in the national interest. A decision in this regard will be announced at the right time”
At a press conference today, Mr Rao admitted that the lockdown was taking a huge toll on the economy. “Every day we are losing Rs 625 to Rs 450 crore. Just in April four days should have got Rs 2, 625 crore, but we got only Rs 4 crore, “he said.
But despite the situation,” we have no other option but lockdown for a country like ours, “he said, pointing to the increasing number of COVID – 22 cases.
Over the last hours, the coronavirus cases in the country have jumped by 2019 to cross the 4000 – mark. Another 32 people have died, taking the total to 400
Calling COVID – a “huge global crisis”, the Chief Minister said 32 Nations have declared 2019 per cent lockdown, and 90 have gone for a partial lockdown.
“It was a good decision to do a total lockdown. So we have been able to contain hopefully,” he said, adding that a survey “by Boston Consulting Group, He says there should be lockdown until June 3 “.
That the lockdown might be extended, at least by the country’s largest state, was hinted at by a top official in Uttar Pradesh.
“When we open the lockdown it will be after we have ensured that the state is corona free. If even one corona positive person is left, it will be very difficult to open the lockdown and that is why it may take time, “said Awanish Awasthi, Additional Chief Secretary, Uttar Pradesh.

Jehovah’s Witnesses Exposed!-Part 2
4/20/2008–The Cult of the Jehovah’s Witnesses (JW’s) was officially founded in 1884 & officially adopted the name of JW’s in 1931 by Charles Taze Russell (1852-1916). In 1870, Russell was exposed to the teachings of William Miller, one of the founders of the Second Adventist Movement and acquired an interest in end time prophecies. Russell originally denied the doctrine of Hell, and would go on to reject nearly every other Christian doctrine, as well as add many physically and spiritually dangerous doctrines of his own making. Russell (as we will see) was also a Freemason and Knights Templar and as a result almost certainly a plant, to start yet one more apostate religion to lead millions to hell. He is actually buried under a huge pyramidal shaped tombstone in a Masonic Cemetery in Pittsburgh, PA. This tombstone actually has the Knights Templar symbol prominently displayed near the top. This cult teaches that Jehovah God created Michael the Archangel before the foundation of the world; Michael was His only begotten son & it was this created Michael who was reincarnated into Jesus Christ, via the immaculate conception of Mary.
The JW’s also use a very corrupted Bible. From the forward of their 1950 version New World Translation we read: ‘The Greek text that we have used as a basis of our NW translation is the widely accepted Westcott and Hort text (1881) by reason of its admitted excellence. But we have also taken in to consideration other texts including that prepared by D. Eberhard Nestle and that compiled by the Spanish Jesuit scholar Jose Maria Bover and that by the other Jesuit scholar A. Merk…’

Things I liked: My first air rifle. Since I have no real experience with pellet guns take this for what it's worth... It seems like a nice gun. I've put about 400 pellets various types and weights of pellets through it and I've never missed the 5"x5" targets at 30ft. It's a little loud, and has a bit of spring recoil, but not at all bad. Cocking it is easy. The trigger, as far as I can tell, is actually kinda nice. Dual stage. Soft first stage, hard second stage. Might be nice to have the second stage adjustable somewhat, but not a big deal. I really like the safety on this gun. It makes sense as I find myself engaging it after firing, automatically, without thinking about it.
Things I would have changed: It would be worth an extra $10-20 for a nicely finished stock. A second stage trigger adjustment would also be nice.
What others should know: I'm not sure if I like the 'fiber optic' sights, as I'm older and don't see as well as I used to. I have to take my glasses off (near sighted) to focus on the sights and let the target blur a bit. I'm also not sure of how I'm suppose to dial in the sights as there were no instructions on doing so in the manual that came with the gun. Still when I steady my aim I'm always on target and grouping within 2 inches. (Not bad for a novice with less than 20/40 vision.) I'm NOT a hunter, nor do I have any 'pests' I need to control. However, this rifle will kill small game or varmits, if that's what you need it to do. However, I think for hunting you might want something with a bit more power. This rifle seem more like a target gun than a hunting gun.
Things I liked: It's a good way to test a variety of pellets without having to buy a larger tin.
Things I would have changed: Include a wadcutter and up the total quantity to 500.
What others should know: Some of these pellets fit snuggly into the breach. I don't know if that's a good thing or not (being new to air gunning). It seems to me that if the pellet is too tight in the barrel, that both velocity and accuracy will suffer. I believe the 'heavys' are too heavy for a rifle less than 1000 fps. My Stoeger Arms X5 Air Rifle seems to prefer lighter rounds.
Things I liked: It's ok...nothing special. Decent quality materials.
Things I would have changed: Add a shoulder strap. Add a hard rubber or plastic nose protecter.
What others should know: It's too big overall. My Stoeger Arms X5 Air Rifle seems small compared to the case. Unless you need the camo save yourself some money and buy the Plano Gun Guard 300S Soft Rifle Case, Hunter Green.
Things I liked: Number of targets and weight of paper.
Things I would have changed: Perhaps it's my eyesight, but it's hard to see where the round landed when it hits in the black.

April 25, 2012 — In a whizbang, book-knockdown affair, the Literary Death Match's triumphant return to the Elbo Room — presented by Mission at 10th Magazine — set the stage aflame with literary and comedic mastermindery, as Joe Quirk out-bowled co-finalist Carolyn Cooke by a narrower-than-it-seems score of 15-9 to win the LDM SF, Ep. 44 crown!
But well before the book pins were in place, the night kicked off with short-storyist Kate Milliken (author of If I'd Known You Were Coming, a finalist for the OV Books Short Story Prize) reeled off a litany of cocktails and situations that had the audience entranced, followed by Quirk (author of Exult and It's Not You, It's Biology) who read a heart-racing excerpt from his novel The Ultimate Rush.
The mic was then turned over to our trio of all-star judges, including the fantastic Mimi Lok (executive director/editor of the McSweeney’s Voice of Witness series), Killing My Lobster's Jon Wolanske (who starred in Gmail Tap's April Fool's commercial), and the SF Examiner's brilliant political columnist Melissa Griffin. Lok loved Milliken's story, but couldn't decide if the sweat references were a plus or a minus. While Wolanske was impressed with Joe Quirk's description of Muni farting/belching black smoke.
A difficult deliberation awaited, and after a verbal tussle, it was Quirk who was advanced to the finals.
After a booze-lit intermission, Round 2 kicked off with Alia Volz introducing LitUp Writers producer and Pushcart Prize-nominee Graham Gremore (and star of solo show "Private Parts") leading things off, an incredibly smart, short tale focused on gay sex, followed by the inimitable Carolyn Cooke (author of The Bostons, a PEN/Bingham Award for fiction, and Daughters of the Revolution, a Top Ten Books of 2011 by the SF Chronicle) who read about a husband who loses his legs in an accident.
The mic was again handed to the judges, with Griffin stealing the spotlight while talking about Gremore's evocative description of childhood and how we all had friends like the little girl who smelled faintly of cat urine.
Another deliberation, another impossible choice, but it was Cooke who was advanced on as the night's second finalist.
Then LDM creator Todd Zuniga took center stage with past LDM Matt Herlihy as his assistant. While Herlihy set up books as bowling pins, Zuniga awarded each finalist a volunteer, and handed over three "bowling balls": a packet of Japanese cookies, a shin bowl, and a can of Campbell's tomato soup. After Cooke gutter-balled her cookies on consecutive tries, Quirk shot out to an immediate lead. Then it was the volunteers chance to shine, each launching shin bowls for literary glory. For the final frame, Cooke gutter-balled her tomato soup can, and in need of a strike, she came up with only a smattering of "pins" which meant Quirk was crowned champion, and literary immortality was all his.

The purpose of this study was to identify the most critical institutional policies and practices deemed essential for the effective development and governance of systemic, effective developmental education programs in community colleges through the perspective of community college administrators. This study ranked community college leaders' ratings of what policies and practices should be implemented to improve developmental education programs. Expert opinion by the participating developmental education administrators and college presidents were compared and ranked to identify priorities for change. The results could serve as guidelines for the improvement of developmental education programs for student success in community colleges.
This non-experimental, comparative research study was designed to rate the importance of identified key descriptors in three critical components of an effective developmental education program. The components studied were organization and administration, program components and instructional practices. The instrument used to collect data was the survey designed by Hunter R. Boylan for What Works: Research-Based Best Practices in Developmental Education (Boylan, 2002, 107–110). The inventory found in Boylan's book (2002) was modified with author's approval to match the educational purpose and target population of this study. A pilot study was first conducted with West Virginia developmental education practitioners to field test the survey. The target population consisted of two categories of community college administrators in the Metro West Virginia geographic area. The first group was identified as developmental education administrators and the second group was identified as presidents of their respective community colleges. Each participant was given a pre-survey questionnaire which solicited demographic data about job titles, years of experience in higher education administration and a self-rating of interest and knowledge in the field of developmental education before administration of the online survey. After analysis of the data, several conclusions were determined. The most powerful conclusion that was reiterated throughout the results of this study was that the top priority for program improvement in developmental education reached by consensus of both community college presidents and developmental education administrators is in the area of Organization and Administration (Component 1). The next priority was found in the area of Program Components (Component 2). Both community college presidents and developmental education administrators perceived Instructional Practices (Component 3) the least critical category of need. Although there was a significant difference between the ratings of developmental education administrators and college presidents for Component 1and Component 2, the importance of developmental education reorganization and administration has been determined by the results of this study to be an institutional priority for program improvement.

Get Last Bus to Wisdom for 20% off by phone and online during the months of October and November!
Named a Best Book of the Year by the Seattle Times and Kirkus Review
The final novel from a great American storyteller.
Donal Cameron is being raised by his grandmother, the cook at the legendary Double W ranch in Ivan Doig’s beloved Two Medicine Country of the Montana Rockies, a landscape that gives full rein to an eleven-year-old’s imagination. But when Gram has to have surgery for “female trouble” in the summer of 1951, all she can think to do is to ship Donal off to her sister in faraway Manitowoc, Wisconsin. There Donal is in for a rude surprise: Aunt Kate–bossy, opinionated, argumentative, and tyrannical—is nothing like her sister. She henpecks her good-natured husband, Herman the German, and Donal can’t seem to get on her good side either. After one contretemps too many, Kate packs him back to the authorities in Montana on the next Greyhound. But as it turns out, Donal isn’t traveling solo: Herman the German has decided to fly the coop with him. In the immortal American tradition, the pair light out for the territory together, meeting a classic Doigian ensemble of characters and having rollicking misadventures along the way.
Charming, wise, and slyly funny, Last Bus to Wisdom is a last sweet gift from a writer whose books have bestowed untold pleasure on countless readers.
About the Author
Ivan Doig was a third-generation Montanan and the author of fifteen previous books, including the bestselling The Bartender’s Tale and The Whistling Season and the classic memoir This House of Sky. He was a National Book Award finalist and received the Wallace Stegner Award, among many other honors. Doig lived in Seattle with his wife, Carol, for many years until his death.
Praise for Last Bus to Wisdom:
Named a Best Book of the Year by Kirkus Reviews
Named a Best Book of the Summer by the Chicago Tribune, the Miami Herald, and Paste Magazine
“One of Doig’s best novels…enchanting … It’s warming to think that in his final months [he] shared the writing hours with one of his greatest characters: a version of his younger self wound up and set spinning on the long zigzag adventure called life in the American West.” -The New York Times Book Review
“With his final novel Doig aptly crowns a luminous literary legacy…'Last Bus to Wisdom' is a deeply humane coming-of-age tale set in the early 1950s…Forever the master of colorful characters and landscapes reflecting the vastness and vulnerability of the human heart, Doig has left us with a rollicking road trip filled with both.” -Seattle Times
“[T]he true successor to the dean of Western writers, Wallace Stegner…Last Bus to Wisdom is a rambunctious adventure packed with color, vitality and characters worth rooting for… a masterful fusion of picaresque exploits and ripping yarns.” -The San Francisco Chronicle

The analysis; ”How coal mining is trashing tigerland”, conducted by the Geoinformatics Lab at Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (ATREE), Bangalore, India, overlaid maps of 13 coalfields with forest cover, protected area boundaries and the latest government data on presence of tigers, elephants and leopards.
The 13 coalfields include Singrauli, Sohagpur, Sonhat, Tatapani, Hasdeo-Arand, Mandraigarh, Auranga, North Karanpura, West Bokaro, Talcher, Ib Valley, Wardha and Kamptee. These coalfields are in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Jharkhand and Vidarbha.
The analysis revealed that almost all coalfields overlap with endangered species habitat. Of the 1.1 million hectares of forest at risk, over 1,85,000 hectares are inhabited by tigers, over 2,70,000 hectares by leopards and over 55,000 hectares by elephants.
Saying that the blackout in Northern India is not a reason to fast-track coal projects, Ashish Fernandes, coal campaigner with Greenpeace said, “The blackout is a wake-up call for the government to revisit its unsustainable energy policy. We need to diversify our power generation sources as well as our distribution model.”
The report highlighted the massive costs India is facing from the huge expansion in coal mining. The mines will impact eight tiger reserves and corridors, including Tadoba-Andhari, Kanha, Bandhavgarh, Sanjay-Dubri, Kawal, Satkosia, Simlipal and Palamau. These reserves have been identified by the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) as essential for the long-term survival of the species, yet face the threat of coal mining.
Greenpeace warned the analysis is just the tip of the iceberg, as there are approximately 40 coalfields in Central India, many of them in forest areas. “The study focuses on coal mining”s impact on mega fauna, but the loss of forests is also going to hit communities dependent on them. The era of cheap coal is over. Across India, from mine to power plant, communities are questioning coal as a source of electricity and asking for sustainable alternatives,” Fernandes said.

International Peace Day
Who's in a better position to define Peace?
"I think The frequent travellers on the road to maiduguri " or
"Those who's eyes have welcomed 2009 and are still keeping its company"
"Those who's ears are friends with gunshots and bomb blast"
"Those who are blamed for their own death and destruction"
"Those who are killed ,lynched, jailed by those sent to protect them "
"Those who are now strangers on their own land,living at the mercy of their fellow men"
"helpers helping for money and petty benifits"
"Those who's photos are sold for the highest bidder and their stories are shared only to secure grants "
indeed,they only knew Peace,and only they can blindly but perfectly sketch the symbol of peace.

Sewing a candy cane dress in June? Why not?! It’s always a good idea to get your Christmas gift sewing projects started early!
And with these free printable sewing patterns, you can sew a half dozen little outfits for your daughter / niece / granddaughter’s 8-inch baby doll without the stress of trying to get it all done before the approaching holiday smacks you right across your pocketbook.
Below are the links to the patterns and tutorial videos that will help you create today’s candy cane dress, which is pictured at the top of this post.
- Free printable PDF sewing pattern for 8 inch baby doll dress, slippers, and diaper
- Free tutorial for making the dress
Yesterday’s pattern post also included the tutorial videos for making the reversible diaper pattern and booties (shoes) to fit 8″ dolls. You can check out that post here:
These patterns were designed to fit the 8-inch Lil’ Cutesies dolls that are produced by JC Toys. Follow that link to purchase one of these dolls, for your future Christmas gift-giving! (I am not affiliated with the JC Toys company, but I have been very impressed with the quality of the Lil’ Cutesies dolls.)
Since all of my patterns and tutorials use the Creative Commons Attribution mark, please show your appreciation for these free patterns and tutorial videos by liking them on Facebook, pinning them on Pinterest, and/or tweeting about them.
If this post looks familiar to you, that’s because it’s a re-post of a series of patterns I did just before Christmas time in 2018, but they are being re-posted as part of my website design renovations.
While website renovations go on, please be patient, but if you do find links that aren’t working, feel free to leave a comment or submit a question to help me locate those flawed links. Thank you!
5 thoughts on “#PDFpattern Wednesday: start #sewing your Christmas gifts early with these free #patterns for 8-inch dolls!”
The link that says it is for the candy cane dress gives the pattern for the snowflake dress.
Okay, thank you for letting me know. I’ll fix that!
I’m sorry. My mistake. I see now it is the same pattern for both dresses. I see the pattern for the sleeve is with the diaper pattern.
My doll is a Circo so she needs sleeves to cover the fabric part.
Thank you for your reply and thank you for the pattern.💜
You know what…? I actually did discover that the link to the snowflake dress tutorial was the wrong tutorial link, so your comment was actually very helpful! I just assumed you were mistaken about which link wasn’t working.
But hey, thank you for taking the time to reply in return. That was very thoughtful of you! And as I said, it led me to fix something else that wasn’t working right. So all’s well!

A full account of his findings, however, is being withheld for the moment. Menzies, 64, and his publicist hope to get a contract for a book, which will divulge the full body of evidence, in the near future.
Uhuh.... a popular book instead of a peer reviewed paper..
Post a Followup


ASHLEY Jones has slammed MTV for sharing a “disgusting” post about her late brother Deandre.
Ashley Siren/InstagramAshley Jones has slammed MTV for sharing a ‘disgusting’ post about her late brother Deandre[/caption]
Reddit / TwitterThe network paid tribute to Deandre almost a month after his death[/caption]
The reality star’s older brother was found at a train station outside of San Francisco on December 17, according to the local coroner’s office.
While Ashley shared a heartbreaking message about his death at the time, MTV only acknowledged the tragedy on Monday.
They shared a photo of Deandre on Twitter and wrote: “Our thoughts are with Ashley and her family at this difficult time.”
Ashley furiously replied on Twitter: “DELETE THIS S**T ! Wtf.”
Her husband Bar Smith also slammed MTV on his Instagram Story.
He wrote: “The fact that y’all waited three weeks to post my dead brother and posted mfs the minute after they got shot at and some more s**t.
“F**k yall and whoever runs this weak a** social media. Teen mom take that s**t down and f**k right off.”
The couple’s fans slammed MTV on Reddit, with one writing: “I agree with them. Totally disgusting on MTVs behalf.”
Another added: “It’s in very poor taste and definitely looks like it’s just to grab more views. I’d be pissed too.”
The cause of Deandre’s death is not yet known.
The investigation into his death is ongoing, and medical examiners are awaiting the results of the toxicology report, said officials.
Ashley’s mother Tea broke the devastating news on social media.
She on Instagram: “I’m outdone and broken to the core. My firstborn child Deandre has passed away. My soul has been ripped from my body. Please keep us in prayer.”
Ashley wrote soon after: “I appreciate all the kind words you all have been sending me. This is something I never could have prepared for.”
In August, a different tragedy struck Ashley’s family when Bar was arrested.
She explained that Bar got into a car accident, and he needed to go to the police station to grab his personal belongings.
She said: “When he got there to get the property released, they realized he had a warrant. Bar ended up getting arrested.”
On September 22, the U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that Bar had been released from jail after he was arrested for being a “fugitive.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TOXIC ALGAE PERSISTS, BUT NO “OFFICIAL” MEASUREMENT OF DEAD ZONE THIS YEAR
A broken boat forced cancellation of an annual measurement of the Gulf Coast Dead Zone for the first time in nearly three decades, despite early estimates that the oxygen starved area is growing.
Early estimates put the dead zone, an area of depleted oxygen that forces sea life to swim away or suffocate and die, even larger than last year.
Since 1985, Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium has conducted an annual measurement of the size of the Dead Zone, an area of hypoxia that forms each year in the Gulf of Mexico as a result of nitrogen and phosphorus pollution flowing down the Mississippi River.
This year, NOAA stipulated that LUMCON must use a NOAA research boat as a condition of funding the expedition. The boat broke down and on July 29, NOAA announced the cancellation for the first time in 27 years, despite issuing a dire projection of its size earlier in the summer.
This malfunction and subsequent cancellation comes only a year after the EPA’s Gulf Hypoxia Task Force admitted it was nowhere near its 2015 goal of reducing the Dead Zone to less than 2,000 square miles. Instead, early estimates indicated the 2016 Dead Zone would have been even bigger than last year at approximately 6,824 square miles.
A 2009 report from the Office of Inspector General found that Arkansas adds about 7% of the total nitrogen and 10% of the total phosphorus to the Gulf of Mexico. Many Arkansans experience negative impacts from excessive nutrients in our waterways leading to foul smelling drinking water and recreational areas being closed due to public health concerns from high algae levels. The effects of nitrogen and phosphorus pollution are being felt across the nation this summer, most recently with the ecological disaster in the Everglades. Similar pollution has been responsible for contamination of Des Moines and Toledo drinking water supplies, the annual closure of beaches across the nation, countless human illnesses, and even the deaths of dogs that swim in it.
The pollution causing the Dead Zone comes from various sources, from urban run-off to the discharges from sewage treatment plants and industrial facilities. However, agriculture has been identified as the largest source of Dead Zone-causing pollution in Mississippi River states all the way down to the Gulf. Still, there are virtually no standards that the agriculture industry must meet to address these problems. The 2014 Arkansas Water Plan Update recommends the State require nutrient management plans statewide for the application of poultry litter and animal manure. Nutrient management plans help landowners and operators achieve maximum soil fertility while protecting state waters. Currently such plans are required only in the “Nutrient Surplus Area” which was designated by the Arkansas General Assembly and consists of watersheds on the western and northern borders of the State. Similar to many recommendations in the Arkansas Water Plan, requiring nutrient management plans statewide will require state agency and legislative action.
“We all depend on clean water,” said Anna Weeks, Environmental Policy Associate, Arkansas Public Policy Panel. “We need to hold lawmakers and industry accountable, and insist on basic soil and water conservation practices on all farms, to make sure we aren’t destroying some of Arkansas’ most precious natural resources, and damaging the Gulf of Mexico in the process.”
The Arkansas Public Policy Panel and members of the Mississippi River Collaborative continue to push the EPA and states to set pollution limits for nitrogen and phosphorus necessary to restore clean water in the Gulf of Mexico and throughout the Mississippi River Basin.
The Arkansas Public Policy Panel is a statewide organization dedicated to achieving social and economic justice by organizing citizen groups around the state, educating and supporting them to be more effective and powerful, and linking them with one another in coalitions and networks. The Panel seeks to bring balance to the public policy process in Arkansas.
The Mississippi River Collaborative is a partnership of environmental organizations and legal centers from states bordering the Mississippi River as well as regional and national groups working on issues affecting the Mississippi River and its tributaries. www.msrivercollab.org

U.S. Embargo Against Cuba
On Jan. 10 and April 11, The Times published a letter and an Opinion piece calling for the end of the U.S. trade embargo of Cuba. There are neither moral, humanitarian nor business reasons for lifting the U.S. trade embargo of Cuba. The current embargo is supported by the 1.5-million-member Cuban exile community and the Cuban Democratic Coalition, the umbrella organization of the principal opposition groups struggling for freedom and democracy within Cuba. The recently enacted Cuban Democracy Act, sponsored by Rep. Robert Torricelli (D-N.J.), tightens the embargo.
It is a double standard to call for a lifting of the U.S. trade embargo of Cuba while demanding stringent sanctions against Haiti and South Africa. No government has a worse record of human rights abuses than the Castro regime. It is impossible to understand how anyone can voice any support for a regime which has caused 10% of its population to go into exile, executed or condemned to labor camps tens of thousands of its citizens and continues to persecute, physically abuse and jail human beings for wanting to exercise their most basic rights.
Cuba’s economic problems have not been caused so much by the embargo, but by Castro’s mismanagement. For the last 34 years Castro has had plenty of economic assistance. The Communist bloc, Western Europe and Canada have had commercial relations and provided aid to the island.
Fidel Castro remains in power for two reasons. First, the international community has not acted against this violent dictatorship, but has quietly supported it through trade, investments and economic aid. Secondly, the people and security apparatus that surround and protect Castro are kept loyal by their unlimited access to goods and power which the dictator avails to them. If the embargo is lifted, the misery and suffering of the Cuban people will not be reduced. Any American products obtained by the cash-starved regime will be used as always to continue buying the loyalty of members of the power elite.
The embargo is working. Lifting it will only buy Castro time.

Injuries to the ulnar collateral ligament complex in the thumb are common and require prompt attention. Early diagnosis is essential and must differentiate a partial ligament sprain from a complete disruption. Accurate diagnosis requires a precise examination and roentgenographic evaluation. Provocative maneuvers and stress radiographs may be necessary to delineate the extent of injury. Partial injuries are treated effectively by thumb spica immobilization. Complete ruptures require operative intervention and anatomic repair. To optimize outcome, the operative procedure requires meticulous technique and should result in minimal morbidity. Late ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction is more complicated and inferior to early surgical repair.

LG Nexus 5X and Huawei Nexus 6 (2015) to be put up for pre-order on Oct 13
We’ve learned from previous reports that Google will be lifting the lid on two new Nexus devices on the 29th of September. These include the Nexus 5X made by LG and the Nexus 6 (2015) made by Huawei. Now that we know when the search giant is planning to officially unveil the two devices, the question is, when will they be available for pre-order? According to a new report, they will be put up for pre-order on October.
Pre-order on the 13th of October
The new rumour comes to us courtesy of TalkAndroid. According to the report, the LG Nexus 5X smartphone and the Huawei Nexus 6 (2015) phablet will be available for pre-order on the 13th of October, which is two weeks after the device’s official announcement.
To recap, the LG Nexus 5X smartphone’s rumoured specs include a 5.2-inch screen with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels (Quad HD). Under the hood is expected to be a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 64-bit hexa-core processor with four ARM Cortex-A53, two ARM Cortex-A57 cores, and an Adreno 418 GPU, coupled with 3 GB of RAM. In the camera department, the device is said to come with a 13-megapixel with OIS and 5-megapixel camera combo.
As for the Huawei Nexus 6 (2015), it is said to come with a 5.5-inch or a 5.7-inch screen with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels (Quad HD). Under the hood is expected to be a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 64-bit octa-core processor with four cores clocked at 2 GHz, four cores clocked at 1.5 GHz, and an Adreno 430 GPU, coupled with 3 GB of RAM. There are reports that claim that the Google and Huawei are planning to swap the Snapdragon 810 for the Snapdragon 820, but we’re not sure if this is accurate since the later will not be available until the first quarter of 2016. Moving forward, other rumoured specs include 64 GB of internal storage and a 3,500 mAh battery to keep the device going for a long time.
Both device are expected to run Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) out of the box. Like every other Nexus device, no custom UI like Samsung’s TouchWiz or HTC’s Sense will be slapped on top of Android. Both are also expected to come with a fingerprint scanner found on the back of the devices. If ever the two make their official debut on the 29th of September, this is the first time Google unveils two Nexus smartphones at the same in one year.
Of course, since this is anything but official, take this with a pinch of salt.

Night of the Creeps Digital Ink
My second installment of what I call my “Creepy Inky” collection is from the cult classic, Night of the Creeps. When I was younger, I would watch this movie quite bit, as I thought the creature effects and puppetry used were fantastic. It’s a sci-fi horror that will always have a place in my heart.
