Quiet Oasis in a Quiet Part of the World
Sometimes when you travel, you find places that overwhelm you with peace the minute you step into their space. My husband and I found such a place on one of New Zealand’s most northern shores. New Zealand is a sparsely populated country, especially in the far north, where you can drive for miles without seeing another soul.
After a very cold and wet winter on the south island, my husband and I were desperate for some sunshine and beach time. They say the tip of the north island enjoys an endless summer, so we made our way up the coast and booked into the “Endless Summer Lodge.”
Tucked into a beautiful green hillside, this oasis is not only surrounded by the thick, gorgeous green New Zealand’s known for; it also sits directly across from the beach. The windows on the front of the lodge look out across a vast expanse of ocean with nothing but a couple palm trees interrupting the view.
This retreat provides the opportunity to walk along endless stretches of beach, or to lie in the hammocks set up in the front yard while listening to the waves roll in. The owners are extremely kind, and you can enjoy your dinner in the garden behind the lodge each night.
The quiet town of Ahipara sits at the end of ninety-mile beach. You can reach it by car from Auckland taking Highway 1 north. There are a lot of great small towns to stop in on the way, so take your time getting there; and once you do, soak up this little oasis as long as you can!
Red, White and Blue
During our trip to Iceland this January, my husband and I took a drive to the charming red and white Garðskagaviti lighthouse near Keflavik. The lighthouse is the tallest in Iceland and was built in 1944 as a gift from American servicemen grateful for being rescued from a sinking U.S. Coast Guard vessel.
I loved the red and white of the lighthouse against the brilliant blue sky. We were the only ones willing to venture out in the blustery cold to visit the lighthouse so we had it to ourselves. We were so glad we took the time for a visit – definitely worth a trip.
An hour outside of Brasilia, we found ourselves surrounded in tough, scrubby land. A friend at a nearby nature reserve took us on a long hike down the path of a waterfall, which pooled in various places and formed a sort of natural waterslide.
Skip Cancun and Head to Isla Mujeres
If you’re not a fan of huge resorts and big hotels, Isla Mujeres is the perfect getaway from Cancun.
Just catch the ferry to the island located 13km to the northeast of Cancun. The ferry ride in itself is enjoyable, as you float over shallow reefs and turquoise water.
Once on Isla Mujeres, I recommend staying near North Beach with its white sand and abundance of bungalow accommodations. Rent bikes and pedal around the entire island and be sure to make your way to the lighthouse crawling with iguanas.
Summer by the Lake in Switzerland
At the foot of the Jura mountains, with a view of the Alps across its vineyard-ringed lake, is the university-town of Neuchâtel. Its distinctive sandstone architecture led the writer Alexandre Dumas to describe this French-speaking city as ressembling ‘an immense toy-city carved out of butter.’
It felt like a great place to call home during the month I spent there: ten p.m. twilights, breezes off the lake, nursing an espresso (or a glass of the local white wine) in the shade of Renaissance façades.
The University attracts students from all over during its summer language programs; my classmates came from Italy, Poland, the Canary Islands, Canada, and the German-speaking regions of Switzerland.
Hourly trains run to Neuchâtel (‘Neuenburg’ in German) from both Geneva and Zürich–the trip lasts about an hour and a half. Lausanne and Bern are only 40 minutes away by train. And yes, you can set your watch by those trains…

If your dog is cut, there's a possibility the wound could become infected. Cuts are often painful enough, but add an infection to the mix and you've got a dog that is likely uncomfortable and unhappy. Fortunately, there are ways to prevent infection and treat dog cuts when they occur.
Cuts on dogs can be superficial or deep, yet both are at risk for infection. An infection occurs when bacteria enters the wound, typically causing pain, irritation, inflammation and even discharge. The Doctor Dog website states that most wounds that are at least 12 hours old and have not received treatment are likely to become infected. It can be difficult to identify a cut or infection, depending on where the wound is and how much hair your dog has, as the fur can hide the cut. If the cut is infected, it can get worse if left untreated.
If your dog has sustained a cut or wound, you may see it actively bleeding or notice dried blood around the wound. The dog may be sensitive and protective around the area of the cut. If the wound occurred on the foot or leg, the dog might limp. If the cut has become infected, you may notice a cloudy or even green discharge coming from the dog. The infection may also have a foul odour.
Diagnosis of an infection is typically simple. Infections will cause the skin around the wound to look swollen or red. Cuts that are infected usually contain a cloudy discharge around or in the wound, which is often pus. A veterinarian can examine the cut and detect whether or not it is infected. If it is, he can prescribe the appropriate medications to alleviate the infection.
If the cut is superficial, stitches are likely not required. If the cut is deep, the veterinarian may recommend sutures in order for the wound to heal. The hair around the wound should be clipped short to prevent it from entering the cut, which can introduce bacteria, states the Animal Hospitals USA website. The cut should be cleaned with surgical soap and rinsed thoroughly. Hydrogen peroxide is often applied to wounds, then rinsed with water. Antibiotic ointment may be distributed directly to the cut and oral antibiotics will likely be prescribed to treat the infection from the inside out. The veterinarian may place a bandage around the cut to prevent additional bacteria from entering, along with an Elizabethan collar to keep the dog from licking or biting the bandage or wound.
While it is almost impossible to prevent a cut from occurring on your dog, there are ways to keep the wound from becoming infected. Take your canine to the veterinarian immediately for treatment after the dog is injured. The longer the cut goes untreated, the higher its chances are of becoming infected. If you notice a cut and cannot take the dog to the vet right away, attempt to clean and apply hydrogen peroxide to the wound as soon as possible. Try to keep the hair away from the cut and your dog from licking the wound, because that can cause more damage.

Long-time civil rights advocate and artist Cyndi Lauper has rallied an impressive list of stars from music and entertainment to help kick off the 2012 True Colors Summer Charity Auction to benefit the True Colors Fund’s work in support of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality. Elton John, Liza Minnelli, Lady Gaga, Anderson Cooper, Jason Mraz, Ricky Martin and many more celebrities have donated incredible experiences for the auction, open now through July 31st at leading online charity auction house CharityBuzz at www.charitybuzz.com/TrueColorsSummer2012.
This is the fourth annual summer online for Lauper’s True Colors Fund and I have to say it’s the best collection of prizes yet. Whether you’re a music lover, television junkie or sports fanatic, there is a prize that might appeal to you. I’m even tempted to bid on a couple of items myself. Which ones, you ask? Well, since you ask… I would kill for a chance to meet silver fox Anderson Cooper. I’ve been a fan of his since his hosting days on ABC’s “The Mole“. Also enticing is watching the Project Runway finale fashion show live and getting my nails did with my girl, Jessica Sutta after grabbing a bite to eat. We can dish and dish ;). Check out all the items below.
Last week, I shared with you Mattel’s Nicki Minaj Barbie doll being auctioned off to raise funds for Project Angel Food. Turns out, there’s also another celebrity-inspired doll on CharityBuzz.com you can bid on. Just like Minaj, this singer has a propensity to don colorful wigs. So much so, this singer is the face of GHD Wig’s holiday ad campaign.
Just like Nicki’s version, this celeb doll is meticulously made with the greatest attention to detail made. The stunning cupcake dress is made with 70 hand-painted mini-cupcakes with a glittered bodice. The fishnet stockings are even adorned with Swarovski crystals. Bidding has started at $1,000 and has the same $15,000 estimated value as Minaj’s. See which singer is the latest to receive a Barbie Doll treatment.
It’s no secret that Nicki Minaj loves herself some Barbie. She’s practically modeled her entire look after the iconic doll. From wearing a huge Barbie bling’d out necklace to naming her breakout mixtape “Barbie’s World“, Minaj is definitely a fan. It’s only natural that a Nicki version of the Mattel toy was made. Sadly, for those wanting to own their own Nicki doll, you’re going to have to shell out a pretty penny.
The doll, smartly named Minajesty Barbie, is a one-off being sold for charity. Starting today til December 19, 2011, you can bid on the doll with proceeds benefiting Project Angel Food. Minajesty Barbie has a starting bid of $1,000 and estimated to be worth $15,000. If you have money to spend and a Nicki fan, this might be up your alley. From the hand-rooted eye lashes, tattoo on the left arm to Nicki’s cotton-candy pink hair, no detail was overlooked. It truly is impeccable. See Nicki Minaj in Barbie form for yourself below.

The Number One Song
So there's this new thing going around Facebook where people post the #1 song from the day they were born. In case you were wondering, the #1 song on October 8, 1963 was Sugar Shack by Jimmy Glimmer & The Fireballs. I'm sort of bummed since I find this song so annoying. Oh well, it was the '60s after all.

The snowy conditions Shetland has experienced this winter may be out of the ordinary for the majority of islanders, but for Captain Gavin Gray from Yell it is nothing unusual.
Captain Gray is operations and marine manager at the De Kastri oil terminal in Khabarovsk Kai, eastern Russia, where the average winter temperature is anything from -20°C to a toe curling (or should that be frost biting) -30°C.
Working a shift system, he spends around half the year there and the other half tending his croft in Aywick.
Commuting around 5,000 miles may seem extreme, but Captain Gray said he is used to working abroad and travelling a lot.
“I’ve worked all over the world China, Nigeria – even Orkney.” He said that his current posting was however probably the furthest and most difficult to get to out of all of his work destinations.
“It’s very remote. The main thing that went on here before oil was lumber and cutting down trees. There’s no nightlife.”
He said that while the area is fairly isolated, he doesn’t find this to be a problem.
He said: “Before I came here they told me, ‘It’s not very great, there’s no people, only three of four thousand’, but I thought, well compared to Yell, that’s huge! I don’t find it that bad; it’s no guttery like home in the winter.”
For much of the year the bay outside the terminal is frozen. However in the summer the weather is warm enough for local children to swim in the sea.
This winter’s trip home is much more like what the captain is used to: “Today it’s around -10°C in Yell, which is unusual. But this would be a fine winter’s day in Russia.”
Captain Gray has worked at the De Kasrti terminal since just after it opened in 2006. The oil terminal is one of the biggest in eastern Russia, but according to Captain Gray it is “braaly peerie” compared to the Sullom Voe terminal.
Nevertheless, the terminal recently received a Terminal of the Year Award at the fourth International Congress of the Oil Terminal 2009 conference, as well as the ExxonMobil Presidents Award, which is the highest award a terminal can recieve within ExxonMobil.
The oil terminal also received a Terminal Safety Award, which Captain Gray was personally responsible for.
He said: “I am delighted in particular for the nationals on site. This award is only made once every three years. Having been on site during this period there is certainly a personal satisfaction in being involved. But I’m just a small cog in the whole process.
“The work involved is very varied, you never know what may arise. You have to be flexible and be able to prioritise.”
However, despite his high pressure job, Captain Gray said his “second job” is no less demanding: “The biggest issue is trying to fit in the crofting end of things.
“My ‘back to back’ for work for the past three years stays in South Africa and within reason we fit our work and time home schedule to suit our own needs. It’s a bit of a joke that he is arranging his holidays depending on when I’m slipping tups or clipping sheep!
“When I walk out the door at work he walks in and takes over. But when I walk out the door at home there is nobody walking in to take over croft! However I have an arrangement with very dependable neighbours.”
Travel time also has to be done in his time “off”, and as it can take around three or four days to get back to Shetland, Captain Gray often spends less time in the isles than he does in Russia.
When he spoke to The Shetland Times last week the captain had been due to make a return trip to Russia but was snowed in at Yell, giving him a bit of extra time at home.

|The famous Miss Holly|
Hello! How was your weekend? Mine was boring. If you know me well, you know that boring is the very best kind of weekend for me. I stayed home, I slept in the best bed ever, and drank the best coffee ever made in the best coffeemaker ever. I know, I know, you're saying 'but Karen, didn't you do anything exciting?'
Nope. Glorious, isn't it?
I wasted most of yesterday looking on line for a chair that matches our kitchen set. We have a chair stretcher that keeps breaking so I thought I'll buy another chair. Well, when your set is 20+ years old the internet does not have an exact match.
So I switched to looking for a chair stretcher part - and found it in Maine. So now I'm waiting for my husband to do the official measurements to make sure we buy the right size (I've discerned the right style) and put the order in. Phew!
|years and years of yarn tags sorted and still kept|
|paintings in progress|
My stay at home weekend was restive and wonderful!
How was your weekend?
Wonderfully boring as well. Your paintings are beautiful. Wow. And the yarn tags make me smile. I tape them into a half-sized three ring notebook and I was just thinking I need to update that notebook. They get tossed into a plastic pocket on the inside of the notebook until I take the time to tape them in and record which project they made. After I am gone, my kids are going to be faced with too many notebooks and scrapbooks.ReplyDelete
P. S. I am loving that cowl.ReplyDelete
I love boring weekends. Yours sounds fabulous. Mine was not as boring but still good.ReplyDelete
Stay at home and doing your own thing weekends are the best! Yours sounds especially enjoyable.ReplyDelete
Miss Holly is such a pretty girl!
That's a lot of yarn tags, and I'm glad you've made room for more! Your painting and that cowl are especially lovely - nice products of a boring weekend!ReplyDelete
My weekend was exciting as I hosted my daughter's bridal shower on Saturday and had two of her bridesmaids staying with me. What fun. Unfortunately it ended with an emergency room visit and subsequent admission for my MIL. Testing needs to be done to find out what is making her so dangerously anemic.ReplyDelete
Sounds like a wonderful weekend! Ours was uneventful too and that was exactly what we needed.ReplyDelete
I almost had an identical weekend - but I went to visit a historic site with a girlfriend, which turned out to be the perfect little outing!ReplyDelete
I am smiling at your yarn tags - I have a little box full of them.
I’m not sure what a chair stretcher is but happy you found a replacement. I have a collection of yarn tags too. Happy MondayReplyDelete
ohd! would Freddy have LOVED LOVED LOVED finding that ball band stash!!!ReplyDelete
I was sorry to hear about Freddy, he was the best dog ever!Delete
Have you considered keeping a journal with your projects? My mom has one and she keeps a tag of the yarn used (and a piece of the yarn), pattern name, any additional notes, and a picture of the finished product.ReplyDelete
I have but I'm terrible at keeping up with it, when Ravelry was invented that solved all of my problems with project notes.Delete
What a lovely weekend you had! Love your painting and the cowl. My weekend was a little on the busy side, but it was all good, so it's ok. I'm ready for a day at home though!ReplyDelete
I love boring weekends! Sounds like yours was perfect.ReplyDelete
That's a lot of yarn labels, I've saved a few over the years but have often wondered whether I should've thrown them out. Sounds like a nice weekend. CxReplyDelete
Your quiet weekend sounds like bliss to me.ReplyDelete
As long as your weekend made you happy~ I spent much of it watching Cubs baseball. I also went to the lousy ABBA concert in the high heat and humidity.Tomorrow is supposed to be a big relief in terms of dew points! Hooray. I can weed a bitReplyDelete
I don't know about boring, the word idyllic springs to ind.ReplyDelete
the last word should read mind...Delete
There's nothing like one's bed for sure. Funny enough, I was able to sleep fine in Oahu on the hotel bed. I'm glad you had a relaxing weekend. I love these sets of watercolor painting you've done.ReplyDelete

The Union ministry of human resources development (HRD Ministry) has approved 16 proposals from 15 states including Karnataka for setting up Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) under the public private partnership (PPP) model. The Karnataka government had proposed to set up the second IIIT campus at Dharwad and had sent a request to the HRD Ministry.
In her written reply to Lok Sabha, the Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani said today that the government of Karnataka has been requested to forward the memorandum of understanding (MoU) and Memorandum of Association (MoA). The Site Selection Committee (SSC) has approved 61.06 acres of land at Thadasinakoppa village in Dharwad taluk and district for setting up the IIIT campus.
Incidentally, Karnataka is the first state in the country to set up a IIIT campus at Bangalore with industry participation in 1999.
Irani said, "The project of establishing 20 Indian Institute of Information Technology in PPP mode by the government is targetted to reach full capacity in nine years from 2011-12 to 2019-20."
Out of the 20, the Central government has approved establishment of 16 IIITs in PPP mode. The remaining IIITs would be approved as and when the state governments are able to identify land and the industry partners, she said in her written reply.
Besides Karnataka, other states like Gujarat (IIIT Vadodara), Kerala (IIIT Kottayam) have also been approved by the HRD ministry. IIIT Vadodara has started their academic session in 2013-14 with 60 students each in computer science and electronics and Communication at the temporary campus at DA-ICT, Gandhinagar. There is a proposal from Gujarat government for setting up second IIIT in PPP mode at Surat.
It may be noted that, in 2010, the Union Cabinet approved a scheme, based on PPP model, for setting up 20 new IIITs with an outlay of Rs 2,808.71 crore (Rs 2,558.71 crore for non-recurring, Rs 200 crore for recurring expenditure and Rs 50 crore for faculty development expenditure). The capital cost of each IIIT is Rs 128 crore to be contributed in the ratio of 50:35:15 by the Central government, the state government and the industry respectively (57.5:35:7.5 in case of North-Eastern Region). Concerned state governments will provide 50-100 acres of land, free of cost and encumbrances.
Four years ago, the Union government had sanctioned IIIT to Karnataka and asked the State government to find a suitable location for it. Initially, it was proposed to be set up under the Gulbarga University campus, which had provided space on its premises. However, the proposal was put in cold storage. Gulbarga University did not pursue the matter further and Karnataka University seized the opportunity and pressured authorities to establish IIIT in Dharwad, and offered the required land for the purpose. The Cabinet gave its nod to the proposal, and the Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had mentioned it in his first budget in June 2013 that it would be established in Dharwad.
The major objective in establishing the IIITs is to set up a model of education which can produce best-in-class human resources in information technology (IT) and harnessing the multi-dimensional facets of IT in various domains. These institutions are conceived as self-sustaining, research-led institutions, contributing significantly to the global competitiveness of key sectors of the Indian economy and industry, with application of IT in selected domain areas.
According to the IIIT Bill, each IIIT would meet its entire operating expenditure on its own within five years of commencement out of students’ fees, research and other internal accruals. The scheme also provides for a faculty development programme for which a sum of Rs 50 crore has been earmarked.

Mal Lee and Roger Broadie
The young and their digitally connected families globally have highlighted over the last twenty-five plus years five conditions critical to the young’s natural sustained learning with the digital (Lee and Broadie, in press) (Twining et.al, 2017).
Not the schools.
Those conditions are:
- Ready access to personal, preferably mobile technologies
- 24/7/365 digital connectivity
- Empowerment and trust
- Largely unfettered use of the digital
- Self-directed learning, collaborating when desired.
All five of the conditions are closely linked.
Vital also are parents who believe the digital is very important to their children’s education and life chances, a learning environment, a culture that facilitates and supports those conditions and a digital mindset that shapes the expectations and the use and learning with the digital.
If you pause for a moment and reflect you’ll appreciate those five conditions have also allowed you and the 3.65 billion plus ** others digitally connected to sustain your natural lifelong learning with the digital – at no expense to government.
The five conditions
With the advantage of historical reflection (Lee and Broadie, in press) and a contemporary study by Twining and his team (Twining, et.al, 2017), the five conditions, plus the importance attached by the parents and the supportive learning environment have been evident since the launch of the Web in 1993. While in the next twenty-five years society moved from an analogue to a digital world, the percentage of the young using the technology skyrocketed, the age of the users plummeted and the digital mindset strengthened the five critical remained as important as ever.
In retrospect, they go a long way towards explaining why more than half the world’s young are digitally connected, using the digital in every facet of their lives and learning and are able stay abreast of exponentially evolving technology – with no support from government or most of the world’s schools.
Ready access to the personal, preferably mobile technologies
Without the gear the young can’t use it in their learning.
Without their own kit, they can’t normalise its 24/7/365 use.
History underscores the importance of the young having ready, 24/7/365 use of ‘their own’ relatively current digital technologies. They need to configure it as desired, to ready it for their immediate use, to select the software and peripherals that fit their learning style, to continually upgrade its functionality and to appreciate the ownership of the kit affirms the trust and responsibility accorded them.
From the early 2000’s – but particularly since the advent of the iPhone in 2007 – the young have shown a strong preference for mobile technologies that allow them to learn anywhere, just in time, in context, when wanted.
The App Revolution allowed the young of all ages to personalise their mobile tool kit, and to use that desired. Where previously the functionality was built into the device from the mid 2000s and the shift to smartphones increasingly software solutions replaced much of the old in-built, allowing each of us to choose the apps we wanted.
Compare the apps on your mobiles with your partners and the kids and you’ll quickly appreciate the extent to which all of us have personalised, indeed individualised, our digital tool kit.
In 2016, a study revealed 42% of Danish children under seven owned their own tablet, and 91% had ready usage (Johansen, et.al, 2016). Comparable figures will be found in all developed nations. They point to a young that will forever on expect to have and use their own mobile technologies 24/7/365.
The same young will expect, as they do now, to use a device, an app or to connect to network the moment desired. They, like you and me, believe they have the right to do so, and will moreover expect the connection to be fast and reliable. It has been the norm for young of the world for near on twenty years, a norm that has been strengthened by the increasingly sophisticated and convergent technology. The young, again like us, will expect to immediately take a video of the whale breeching off the beach, to check the details on Wikipedia, and to edit the video and add a voiceover before posting to YouTube.
Moreover, they will expect to be able to video conference with friends free of charge about the happening, and to show it to the family on a large HD screen.
Without that connectivity, most of the learning can’t happen.
Empowered and trusted
Without the empowerment of, the trust in and the possession of the personal technology the young can’t normalise the use of the digital.
Nor can families or schools.
This has been evident globally – outside the school walls – since the advent of the Web twenty-five years ago when the first families empowered and trusted their children to use the digital astutely.
Since then millions upon millions globally have opted – seemingly naturally – to do the same.
While over the period the technology has become increasingly sophisticated, powerful and all pervasive, and changed all manner of practices the digitally connected families of the world have continued to empower and trust their children’s use and learning with the digital. The young have grasped the opportunity, fundamentally changing the nature of youth (Lee and Broadie, in press), exploring new worlds and pursuing their interests and passions, all comfortable using the latest technologies, with many becoming highly competent in their area/s of interest (Ito, et al 2013) (Twining et al, 2017).
Very early in the piece (Tapscott, 1998) the parents recognised that for the first time in history the young knew more about a domain of learning than their elders, and that there was much to be gained by supporting the children’s learning and the young assisting the family grow its learning.
Largely unfettered use
From the outset in the early 90’s the parents opted – of their own volition – not only to empower and trust their children but also gave them the freedom to use the digital largely unfettered.
It is appreciated that in the 90s there was a mystic around the online and that many of the parents had little understanding of computing but over time as their understanding grew and they came to appreciate they had to better ready their children for the digital and networked world and more closely monitor the use they still allowed even the very young considerable freedom – albeit within the bounds agreed by the family, and unwittingly by the networked society.
While little is written, it is intriguing to note how millions upon millions of young people globally for twenty plus years have observed the universal operational mores and etiquette.
While the degree of freedom varied with the developmental stages and the responsibility shown the young of the world have for many years had the freedom to go directly to the learning of the world online, and by-pass the traditional gatekeepers.
They have moreover had from the outset the freedom to use the digital to create what they like and to communicate with whom they wished – more and more free of any toll – everywhere except in the school (Twining, et.al 2017).
From the early 2000’s the young globally have embraced the emerging mobile technology making it very much their own, central to their lives and learning, doing largely as they wish, particularly from the upper primary years upwards.
It bears remembering that in 2009 around 25% of the world’s young were digitally connected, by 2016 the percentage had risen to around 50% and is on track to reach 70% by 2022 (Ericsson, 2016).
That connectedness coupled with the freedom accorded has and will continue to change lives regardless of any desires by those in authority.
Self-directed learning, collaborating when desired
The learning culture, the trust, empowerment, freedom and the technology all combine to allow the young to direct their learning with the digital lifelong.
It places them in charge of learning what they believe is apt, when and where, and with the support of whom.
They – and not some external party – decide when they need to improve their capability and how they will do so.
Tellingly history shows the young naturally taking control of their use of and learning with the digital from their initial use of the technology. If you’ve not already done so observe watch a two or three year using an iPad and you’ll soon find they want to take charge, to explore, to discover, to use if they want their thumbs rather than their index finger, disliking being told what to do, except when stuck.
Whether this is a natural trait time and research will tell.
Educationally from the outset of the young have acquired a core life skill they will use and enhance for the rest of life.
In placing the responsibility on the individual and supporting their efforts the families have grown the vital ability to naturally sustain the learning with the digital, that in a continually evolving world needs to be lifelong.
That core skill soon sees the young individualising their capability with the digital, and while many of the capabilities will be common, others, as with all of us will be distinct.
While taking charge the young are very ready to call upon others, particularly in the family or peer group the moment the need arises.
The school scenario
Few schools globally would in 2018 countenance these conditions in the student’s learning with the digital.
Reflect on your own.
Most schools still ban the in-class use of the young’s suite of mobile technologies. France for example in 2017 chose to ban smartphones in all its schools.
Digitally connectivity in virtually all schools is tightly controlled, with the teachers deciding when and if it permitted. Few would likely tolerate the idea of children instantly going online to find the information.
The school and its ICT experts know what is best. The children, the parents, and often most staff have no say, and are expected to comply with the school’s instructions.
The student use of the digital is tightly controlled and structured, very firmly based on distrust, with every student operation, often keystroke monitored.
Globally schools, at the behest of government, the curriculum authorities and the network managers, decide how – and how not – the children will learn with the digital, with no recognition given the out of school attainment or consideration given to the young learning how to take charge of their sustained lifelong learning with the digital.
Twining and his colleagues in the UK concluded
Schools seldom replicated how children’s digital practices develop outside school, especially with regard to providing opportunities for sustained and increasing participation with others who shared similar interests. Instead, children’s ICT use in schools tended to be short term and discrete (Twining, et.al, 2017. P.vii).
Not only don’t most schools support the five critical conditions but they don’t nurture in the young the ability and responsibility for naturally sustaining their learning with the digital lifelong. They are geared to a past world of constancy
Ask yourself what chance has my school, or that of my children, of meeting the five conditions critical to the natural sustained learning with the digital, that the young can draw upon and grow throughout life.
We suspect the answer will be none.
The next question is a huge one – what if anything is the school going to do?
The current very strong global trend is to do nothing.
And let the young will continue to develop their learning with the digital outside the school walls, continuing to deal the school out of the play.

Purple girl... This drawing was inspired by the great artist DoubleMaximus (http://doublemaximus.newgrounds.com/), she's a huge inspiration and I wanted to see if I could make something in her style. While drawing Wrath, I realized something, I realized exactly how hard Maximus must work in order to color and create every single one of her drawings, and now she inspires me even more!

Thanks guys. Poor_Man assuming your barrel is 1in7". According to DocGKR from Tactical Forums, the lowest velocity for 75 gr Hornady and 77 gr Nosler still fragment decently is 2100 fps. From a 14.5" barrel, a Mk262 MV is about 2500+, you are probably good for 100+yds before the bullet velocity hit below 2100 fps. I don't know about factory grade and surplus rounds, since my research was concentrated on 75gr handload. I say stick with the Hornady 75gr 223 TAP or BlackHills and try not to engage BG over 150yds.

PepsiCo’s Frito-Lay division, which makes Cheetos, accused World Peas Brand’s Peatos of trademark infringement. PepsiCo alleges that Peatos’ name and paw-print logo are “confusingly similar” to Cheetos and that Peato’s slogan, “tigers live longer than cheetahs,” unfairly denigrates the Cheetos brand.
The lawsuit claims the brand misleads consumers with its front-of-pack design, and now the suit is driving many industry leaders to question what are the most effective ways to deploy clean label marketing strategies.
Front-of-pack “clean labels” have become one of the most important ways for brands to demonstrate their whole food characteristics. But it’s also becoming a source of legal tension.
The legal saga between Snyder’s-Lance, the maker of Pretzel Crisps, and PepsiCo’s Frito-Lay, maker of Rold Gold’s Pretzel Thins, seems to be only beginning.– and the ongoing court proceedings are already serving as a cautionary tale to emerging food and beverage brands.
From patent restrictions and investor complaints to false labeling claims, these are the cases creating — or aiming to clean up — messy food dealings.
Food fights are breaking out in court. HaloTop, Mars Inc, KerryGold and Chobani all found themselves in legal battles spanning trademark infringements to reports of assault over the past month. Here’s what we know so far about the cases, why they were filed, and what they could mean for the companies involved.
Amplify Snack Brands, the company behind SkinnyPop Popcorn, and snack giant Snyder’s-Lance began a legal battle over the word “skinny” last week. Amplify filed a federal trademark infringement and unfair competition lawsuit against Snyder’s over the company’s plans to start selling its newly acquired popcorn brand, Metcalfe’s Skinny, in the U.S.
Earlier this month, State Senator Bob Wieckowski, a Democrat, introduced California SB 504, a bill that would require warning labels on all food containing synthetic dyes, including those sold in restaurants. It’s an issue that may cause food manufacturers to reconsider their use of synthetic colors not just in California, but nationwide.
At a time when a federal district court in California has been nicknamed “The Food Court” because of the number of consumer actions it has addressed, it’s become apparent that building a brand is about more than just growing sales, it’s about protecting those sales in the face of potential legal action.
Recent articles published by The Guardian and the Associated Press reported that members of the American Egg Board, a government-backed lobbying group, engaged in a long-running campaign intended to debilitate sales and distribution growth of Hampton Creek’s Just Mayo, a product that is formulated without eggs.

Fox News 'troubled' by Geraldo Rivera's tweets about sexual harassment
Fox News has distanced itself from Geraldo Rivera’s controversial tweets about sexual harassment Wednesday, in which the correspondent-at-large defended ousted Today anchor Matt Lauer and said that “News is a flirty business.”
The network said in a statement to EW, “Geraldo’s tweets do not reflect the views of Fox News or its management. We were troubled by his comments and are addressing them with him.”
Rivera, 74, currently serves as a roaming correspondent for Fox News Channel and first joined the network in 2001. On Wednesday afternoon, he weighed in on Lauer’s firing from NBC after a sexual misconduct review.
“Sad about @MLauer great guy, highly skilled & empathetic w guests & a real gentleman to my family & me,” Rivera tweeted. “News is a flirty business & it seems like current epidemic of #SexHarassmentAllegations may be criminalizing courtship & conflating it w predation.”
He added, “#SexHarassment should be confined to situations where superior imposes himself on subordinate who feels unable to complain because of power of perp or feared consequences to victim’s employment. Shouldn’t be used to get even w bad bosses or hated ex’s.”
Rivera’s tweets drew widespread criticism online. See some reactions below.


I would like to share with significant others or spouses of survivors , we are 68 and the arrest was 6/11/2011.
The Food and Drug Administration is strengthening its warnings about painkillers like ibuprofen, saying they do raise the risk of heart attack or stroke. People should think carefully about taking these drugs, both over-the-counter versions and prescription pills, the FDA says. It's asking manufacturers to change the labels. The FDA spokesperson, Eric Pahon, is now saying that these painkillers do cause increased risk of heart attack and stroke. The painkillers include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDS, including ibuprofen, sold under brand names like Advil or Motrin; naproxen (Aleve), as well as prescription arthritis drugs known as COX-2 inhibitors, such as Celebrex. Tylenol, known generically as acetaminophen, is not an NSAID.
The unknown man they are referring to in this article is me, This man is my superhero
Hi I'm a 40 year old female, I had an unexplained cardiac arrest last July. I was very lucky that I had collapsed at home unconscious and went into cardiac arrest on arrival at hospital. It took 50 mins for they to get me back, I went through the usual ICU I had trachy and was kept unconscious for two weeks, my kidneys failed and I spent a good while on dialysis. I amazingly survived but am left with horrendous memory loss with a very sparse memory of my life previously.
I am sad to say I've struggled with life since, memory loss is hard, and I find going out and motivation, I need such a huge kick up the backside to not be scared of life as I know life will never be the same, but it can be different. Thanks for taking time to read this, I guess it just helps to get it out there!!
The Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation applauds the European Patient Safety Foundation, the European Resuscitation Council, the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation, the World Federation of Societies of Anesthesiologists, and the World Health Organization for urging schools worldwide to teach students CPR. The statement follows:
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a leading cause of death in the U.S., affecting about 326,200 people of all ages outside hospitals every day. Dave Goldberg, CEO of Survey Monkey and husband of Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook COO, was one of its recent victims.
During this week alone, about 6,250 unsuspecting victims will suffer SCA, most of them (70 percent) at home. Their hearts will unexpectedly stop beating and blood will no longer flow to the brain and throughout the body. They will collapse, stop breathing normally, and may appear to be having seizures. In essence, they will be dead -- and they will stay this way unless bystanders act immediately to restore their heartbeats with CPR and defibrillation.
Today EMS1 posted an article about 10 steps to organizing a cardiac arrest survivor celebration.
Celebrating cardiac arrest survival in your agency and community is a wonderful opportunity to allow cardiac arrest survivors and their families to meet and thank their EMS and hospital caregivers. Celebrations also provide an opportunity for survivors to meet other survivors, promote awareness of sudden cardiac arrest in the community, and create a venue to celebrate successes in EMS.
The best survivor celebrations focus on the survivors first and foremost, and the rescuers, both professional and bystander, second. At Spokane AMR, our celebrations have included families, hospital personnel, EMS personnel, 911 dispatchers, police officers, firefighters and bystanders.
My son had an SCA last July (16 years old). I just received his genetic testing results which was positive for Long QT Syndrome. If anybody can give me information I would appreciate it.
Call it being at the right place at the right time but I am fortunate to have saved two SCA victims in the past year. The most recent occurred just over 2 weeks ago. Here is a link to the story http://patch.com/california/cupertino/area-exec-saves-heart-attack-victi...
The most important thing is that both individuals lived. That said I am trying to understand are the odds of this happening? From what I understand it is rare to save one persons life with CPR...but two in one year?
If anyone has some data that can shed some light on this, I would appreciate it.
On April 11, a bystander and two police officers saved the life of a man who had been walking in South Park (Pittsburgh, PA) when he suddenly collapsed in cardiac arrest. On April 22, Pittsburgh police officers and paramedics saved the life of a fellow officer who suffered cardiac arrest in the West End station.
Why did they survive sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), when so few victims do?
The answer is simple: Bystanders started CPR and used defibrillators immediately.
Unfortunately, SCA is a common occurrence in Pittsburgh and across the nation. In fact, it affects about 1,000 people of all ages each day in the U.S.
While on average, only 10 percent of victims survive, when people at the scene of the emergency intervene quickly by giving CPR and using automated external defibrillators (AEDs), survival rates increase to 40 percent.
Help raise awareness about SCA and the importance of knowing how to save a life.

Hello, I'm Cam. Please include all the details about your issue so I can accurately advise you. I cannot see your vehicle so please be detailed.
IS this on both sides or just one?
Are you testing with the system set to max witht he recirc on?
both sides (drivers and passengers) outside temp 88 and high humidity (Atlanta GA). I have an 07 Yukon XL so I know what feels RIGHT. Yes, tested at various settings, as I stated in description, recirc feels cooler (not cold but closer to normal) and somewhat drier than without "recirc" on.
I can get a canister from Autozone, correct? I doubt it has a dye in it, or does it? IF not, how would I go about injecting dye?
As for AC Pressure(s), I can use the "borrow a tool" program at Autozone to check the pressures, I think. Is it a process you can explain or is there a utube clip that shows it? What pressures are considered "good"?
Sorry for delay in reply... had a chance to take vehicle to a mechanic for a free analyis. His opinion is that since it doesn't have a cabin filter, that the coil may need to be cleaned with an aerosol coil cleaner, which can't hurt. Your thoughts?
As for the freon level, despite the mechanic's opinion that the freon level is probably fine, (he didn't put gauges on it to test pressures), I think that the freon might be low. It takes too long to get cold (at the vent). He tried to sell me on the truck being black and the interior being black leather and that was why it was taking longer, but honestly the air is not as cold as my 07 Yukon XL and it takes considerably longer to cool the cabin, again which is smaller than the huge cabin of the Yukon XL.
I plan to try to borrow a set AC pressure gauges from Autozone and get a canister of freon in case it is low, as I suspect it is.
Added freon with no issue.. Didn't realize the ports were different sizes. Duh... Anyway we'll see how much of a difference it makes for now. If no difference, then we'll try cleaning the coil under/bnehind the glove compartment.
Just as a last question, it seems like this truck produces alot more condensation drainage than any other vehicle. Does that give you some idea about what else might be wrong?

My fridge is packed. And not in a good way. It’s stuffed with neglected containers of meals past, with foods that need to be chopped and cooked and canned…with feta in brine for another couple of weeks, with jars of salsas and jams and pickles that we cracked open just to make sure they had turned out okay.
I needed to do some cleaning out. And part of the clean out resulted in this version of macaroni and cheese.
I recently posted pictures from our pepper harvest over on my little gardening site. (That site, incidentally, tends to consist more of pictures of what we're growing than it does any useful gardening information. Probably because Bill is the gardener, but I am the blogger/photographer.)
Anyway, in case any of you saw the peppers - lots and lots of long, twisty cayennes, mostly - and in case any of you were wondering what we were planning to do with all the peppers, I'm going to tell you.

Russia will introduce a temporary ban on the export of grain crops to the EAEU countries and the export of white and cane sugar to any third countries. The corresponding decision was approved on Thursday by the subcommittee on customs-tariff and non-tariff regulation, protective measures in foreign trade of the government commission for economic development and integration, TASS reports with reference to the message of the Ministry of Economic Development.
Both measures will be in effect until August 31, 2022. Grain restrictions will affect wheat and meslin, rye, barley and corn. Export of sugar to the EAEU countries will be possible on the basis of permits issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, the agency notes.
“The decisions are aimed at ensuring the country’s food security and will help protect the domestic market in the current conditions. At the same time, there are still opportunities for cooperation with the EAEU countries,” the press service quotes a representative of the ministry as saying.
Restrictions on grain, according to the Ministry of Economic Development, will affect wheat and meslin, rye, barley and corn. At the same time, an exception will be provided for supplies under export licenses issued by the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
“According to the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia, at present, the grain supply in Russia exceeds 150%. At the same time, a temporary ban on exports will prevent the overflow of agricultural products, given that the EAEU countries have already made the necessary volumes of purchases this season in duty-free mode,” the message says.
The export of sugar will be banned with the proviso that deliveries to the EAEU countries will be possible on the basis of permits issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, the press service of the Ministry of Economic Development clarified.
In addition, during the meeting of the customs subcommission, it was decided to prepare proposals for consideration at the EEC site on the temporary zeroing of duties on a number of goods, including potatoes, onions, garlic, cabbage, carrots, cocoa and fruit purees, the press release notes. It was also decided to add a number of goods for children to this list, in particular, ready-made food products intended for young children and the basis for the production of breast milk substitutes. Ready-made proposals will be submitted to the EEC meeting on March 17.
In turn, the Ministry of Agriculture emphasized that today Russia is fully meeting its needs for basic food products. At the same time, the Russian Federation needs protection from the influence of negative factors in the context of instability in the global market, outstripping growth in demand and world food prices, the press service of the ministry reported.
“It is worth noting that since the beginning of the 2021/2022 season, the needs of the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union in Russian grain have been more than doubled. Together, the measures being developed and already being implemented by the government will ensure flexible regulation of the domestic market, eliminate the possibility of a shortage and an abrupt increase in prices raw materials and socially significant products,” the Ministry of Agriculture noted.

I am working on the client side. and do not have control at the server side.My application is running on altera stratixIII fpga. with LAN 91c111smsc phy/mac IC. My application is based on Nios-II: NicheStack TCP/IP using MicroC-OSII. my sopc builder has configured for Standard NIOS II processor. uses external SRAM for data processing. client is connected to the server via a cross cable of approx 2 meters. auto negotiation sets the speed at 100 mbps. my communication is TCP/IP and my application requires data exchanges at different time intervals.I need to send data with different msg IDs. and for every msg ID, packet size is fixed. for ex: for time update 10 bytes of data has to be sent as per the protocol. I have to send Time update to server every second. system clock driver period is 1 ms. i am using ostimeget() function. If i send only time update message and disable any other data exchange, i am able to see in ethereal, that time update is going every second(as expected). but when i initiate other data exchanges. time update gets delayed upto 5 sec. i have seen previous posts also. i checked tcp acknowledgment which takes 2 ms to 200 ms to come in my case. so i doubt this myt not be the problem.as it gets delayed for upto 5 sec. in one TCP message entire 10 bytes get sent. i want to know: 1. what is causing this delay. Why time update is not being dumped on the physical layer every second when other data processing and exchange is initiated in the simplesocketserver application. 2. and also In nios II nichestack, does that time update data get lost because of overwriting in the OS tx buffer?? 3. how does nichestack decides the number of data bytes in one tcp packet?? sometimes i am sending 10 bytes sometimes 5 messages altogether consisting 60 bytes.. if i have not conveyed the query properly plz let me know. i have been struggling with this problem for last 1 week. any help will be greatly appreciated.
On a TCP socket the IP stack can decide to wait and regroup data together before sending the packet. Each stack can have different strategies on how to do that and it seems that in your case the Interniche stacks waits a bit too much for you. I can think of two solutions:[list][*]Set the TCP_NODELAY flag on the socket to tell the stack you don't want it to wait and just to send the packet as soon as you call the send() function[*]Use a UDP socket instead of TCP, which could be more adapted to your situation IMHO. TCP is interesting when you have a continuous stream and don't want any data loss. For a time update message you don't really need the loss detection and retransmission system offered by TCP. It would just make the other end receive the message too late. As you are sending one every second it seems it would be better to either receive the packet immediately, or never receive it if it is lost. There will be a new one one second afterwards anyway.[/list]
You didn't specify if time update and data messages share the same tcp connection, but I guess they do.Then, everything is routed to the same tcp stream and, from my experience, there's no reason for the dealy. The data throughput is also very low, so sw/hw performance is not an issue. I don't know your code, but I think you have a couple of send() calls in the functions related to data transfer and time update; then, probably you have sort of conflict between them, such as a shared data buffer which gets corrupted. Are you using a blocking or non-blocking socket?
yes, i have the same TCP connection for time update and data messages, which is in non blocking mode.in my main code, after entering in while loop 1. timeupdate send call is made every second. and 2. incoming server queries are handled and depending on the query send call is made.

Acidity Regulator Market is Growing at Significant Rate, 2025
A sample of this report is available upon request @ https://www.futuremarketinsights.com/reports/sample/rep-gb-329
Based on types, acidity regulators can be broadly classified into acetic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, maleic acid and phosphoric acid. These food additives exhibit preservative, anti-microbial and pH stabilizing properties that increase the shelf life of the food products. The acidity regulator market has gained considerable momentum over the past decade owing to the growth in demand for end-user applications such as beverages and processed food. There has been an increased demand for processed food and health-conscious products among the new age consumers which has positively affected the demand for food acidity regulators.The end-user segment for beverages (non alcoholic and soft drinks) constituted the largest share for acidity regulators demand followed by sauces, dressings and condiments. Processed food is expected to exhibit the third largest demand for acidity regulators globally. By product types, citric acid enjoys the largest demand, closely followed by phosphoric acid. These acids are preferred over the others in the beverage applications due to their properties, which explain their high demand.
The growing consumer acceptance for processed food and ready-to-drink beverages has also favorably affected the demand for acidity regulators. Rising disposable income levels and time constraints faced by the global population has also increased their preference for packaged food. Moreover, in the fast-paced lifestyles, ready-to-eat and ready–to-cook foods find preference among the young consumers as it saves precious time. Acidity regulators are used in frozen foods, canned foods as well as dried foods.
The acidity regulator market has witnessed a number of innovations and improvisations among manufacturers in recent years and this is expected to bode well for the industry in the coming years. Traditionally, most of the acids were extracted by the process of natural fermentation. However, many manufacturers turned to various modern extraction techniques such as methanol carbonylation, acetaldehyde oxidation and oxidative fermentation which provide higher yield of acids, to cope with the increasing demand.
To view TOC of this report is available upon request @ https://www.futuremarketinsights.com/toc/rep-gb-329
Asia Pacific accounted for the highest demand for acidity regulators in 2014, and China generated the highest demand, followed by India. China also accounted for a huge number of manufacturers, providing tough competition for the Western companies. Asia Pacific is also expected to the fastest growing region in terms of acidity regulator demand. North America accounted for the second largest market for acidity regulators in the same year, followed by Europe.

Apple posted 13 per cent year-on-year growth in revenue at USD 88.3 billion in the said quarter and profit of USD 3.89 per share.
New Delhi/New York: iPhone maker Apple notched up a double-digit growth in its revenue from India in the quarter to December 2017, its all-time quarterly record to date.
Apple has been expanding its presence in the hyper- competitive Indian smartphone market, even though its products are priced at a premium.
Apple posted 13 per cent year-on-year growth in revenue at USD 88.3 billion in the said quarter and profit of USD 3.89 per share. International sales accounted for 65 per cent of the quarter's revenue.
"Our results were terrific all around the world with double digit revenue growth in all our geographic segments, an all-time quarterly record in the vast majority of markets we track, including the US...as well as Mainland China... and India," Apple chief financial officer Luca Maestri said on an investor call.
The comments come a day after the Indian government raised the customs duty on imported smartphones to 20 per cent as part in Budget 2018-19.
The move -- aimed at encouraging local manufacturing and domestic value-addition may impact Apple as it imports its devices, expect iPhone SE that is assembled in India.
According to research firm Counterpoint, the premium smartphone segment in India witnessed over 20 per cent growth in 2017 over the previous year with Apple maintaining its leadership position with 38 per cent market share during 2017.
The iPhone X was the top premium model, ahead of OnePlus 5T and Samsung's Note 8 in the segment, as per Counterpoint.
"Our growth was broad-based and a key driver was iPhone, which generated its highest revenue ever...revenue for our newly launched iPhone was the highest of any lineup in our history, driving total Apple revenue above our guidance range," Apple CEO Tim Cook said.
During the quarter, Apple said it had sold 77.3 million iPhones, the highest number ever for a 13-week quarter.
"We established all-time iPhone revenue record in nearly every market we track with double-digit growth in all of our geographic segments," Maestri pointed out.
The sales of Apple's Mac range were at "all-time records" in Latin America, in India, Turkey and Central and Eastern Europe. iPad sales, too, grew "strong double-digits" in emerging markets, including Latin America, the Middle East, Central and Eastern Europe and India besides the developed markets, it added.

Fianna Fáil’s transport spokesperson Robert Troy says that the Minister for Transport Shane Ross appears to be more interested “in projects close to his heart” as it is claimed that cost overruns at the national children's hospital could require the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport to find savings of €30 million in its capital budget this year.
His comments come as it has emerged that a payment of €27 million earmarked for the Dublin to Derry A5 road upgrade jointly funded by the Irish and British governments will be delayed due to cost overruns at the hospital.
Mr Troy said that the collapse of the Northern Ireland Assembly had also had an impact on the A5 project - “we can thank Sinn Féin for that”.
He said that Mr Ross should be doing everything in his power to ensure the construction of the A5 road “which has been promised since 2007”.
“I don’t believe the rationale of the department. I am concerned we will see more cuts. There shouldn’t have been over runs in the national children’s hospital, that’s because of poor management.
Mr Troy said he was very concerned that there was going to be more reduced expenditure by the Department of Transport.
“Ross should be engaging with his UK counterparts and with civil servants in Northern Ireland.”
Last year the Government had announced it would spend an extra €286m on roads and other transport infrastructure in 2019.
The total capital budget for projects in the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport for 2019 is €1.61 billion.
The savings are part of the €100 million needed to deal with the spiralling costs at the national children’s hospital.
It is on a list of savings that Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe will bring to Cabinet as part of the Government’s efforts to shave €100m from the 2019 capital budget.

Ordinarily I am not at all bothered by the Pratt's quest to annoy everyone on the face of the planet, I've never chatted up some friends about the "lady of the night" clothing line & I was even on her side for the first season post Heidi - Lauren friendship, mainly because I think Lauren Conrad's whiney. (Yeah I watched The Hills, I was like 16 when it came out, coolest thing ever, whatever.) However, Given that i do love to watch beauty queens answer questions about global disparity, i happened to catch her first live performance ever on the Miss Universe Pageant!
Needless to say, it was completely mortifying and i was embarrassed for her. Again i didn't put much thought into it, I wasn't passionately outraged in regards to her inability to dance or even lip-sync properly.
(You can watch the performance HERE if you need proof that it was excruciating. )
The next day i was absorbing me some Anderson Cooper man candy & came across his take on the abomination of dance. I won't lie, i laughed about it but i still felt kind of sorry for her. I mean I'd agree with anything Anderson Cooper said, he could have reported that Heidi Montag was giving birth to the new Messiah and I'd send her a gift basket. I just felt bad because she obviously hates herself so severely, she feels the need to act out this painstakingly pathetic show in order to validate herself as a person.
(You can watch him talking HERE, I'll give you awhile to listen, put it on pause, stare at him... whatever you need to do)
Then i saw a part of an interveiw she did for The Aftershow on MTV with show host Jessi Cruickshank, in The Bahamas the day after Heidi's performance, with the "Pop Princess" herself and hubby Spencer Pratt. The following dialogue took place somewhere between delusion and low self-esteem:
Jessi Cruickshank : " So [now that the performance is over] who are the people that you feel like you're now on par with?"
Heidi Pratt: "Michael Jackson"
Spencer Pratt: "I mean, I was saying she's a modern day, 2010 Michael Jackson"
JC: "2010 Michael Jackson is dead Spencer"
SP: No, but I'm saying, here it is. It's living. Like the Holy Spirit. Like Michael Jackson's in heaven. The Holy Spirit now has extra Michael Jackson juice. So boom. For all we know, Heidi is possessed with some of that Michael JAckson divine spirit. You feel me?"
JC: "Do you think Heidi's going to be bigger than Michael Jackson?"
SP: "Oh, way bigger."
OH MY GOD.
THAT IS SO INCREDIBLY DISRESPECTFUL, EGOISTIC & DISGUSTING
HE HAS GOT TO EITHER BE:
1. On heavy drugs.
2. On heavy drugs.
There are no other explanations.
Can you imagine Michael Jackson's children having to hear that some attention hungry hussy, lip-synching at the intermission of a beauty pageant is channelling your dead fathers "fame juice"?

WW1 anniversary: Peace vigils
Monday, 4 August, is the 100th anniversary of the start of World War One, "the war to end all wars".
Peace Movement Aotearoa, in association with Quakers, is coordinating nation-wide candle-lit vigils on 4 August, in conjunction with pacifist and peace groups in other parts of the world who will be holding vigils to mark the anniversary and to highlight our mutual belief that conflict must be resolved peacefully rather than by war.
The three themes for the vigils in Aotearoa New Zealand are remembrance, ending war, and promoting peace. The vigils are at 6pm on Monday, 4 August, at local war memorials or other suitable locations, and will all have the same messages based on the three themes above.
The details for each vigil will be added to the World War One web page at http://www.converge.org.nz/pma/ww1.htm as soon as they are confirmed
If you are interested in helping to organise the vigil in your area, or have ideas for messages on banners and placards, please contact Peace Movement Aotearoa email firstname.lastname@example.org or tel 04 382 8129 as soon as possible. Thank you.

KUCHING: All auto and motorcycle workshops are allowed to operate during the movement control order (MCO) period.
State Disaster Management Committee (SDMC) deputy chairman Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said, however, they were only allowed to operate twice a week on every Tuesday and Thursday from 7am to 7pm.
“All workshops involved in spare parts, tyres and batteries are allowed to operate,” he told a press conference on the daily update on Covid-19 yesterday.
Beside workshops, shops providing hardwares, agricultural supplies and selling spare parts for industrial and agricultural machinery are also allowed to operate during the same period.
Abdul Karim added effective today until the MCO period, all Sarawakians returning from overseas, Malaya, Sabah and Labuan would undergo quarantine at a designated quarantine centre once they arrived.
He said as of April 5, a total of 181 Sarawakians had been placed at the quarantine centres as Person Under Surveillance (PUS).
“For Kuching, about 87 people are quarantined at Hock Lee, while in Miri there are 68 at Mega Hotel and 26 at Somerset Hotel,” he revealed.

i know there are some people out there who will appreciate something that’s not batfam and i had this pattern from the old commission that just needed a few little changes :) it’s up for orders for the next three weeks! ♥
this will also be removed from our store tomorrow~
“I think this woman is wrong about something on the Internet. Clearly my best course of action is to threaten her with rape.”
That’s crazy talk, right? So why does it happen all the time?
Honest question, dudes.
That women are harassed online is not news. That women in comics and the broader fandom cultures are harassed online is not news. That these women are routinely transmitted anonymous messages describing graphic sexual violence perpetrated upon them for transgressions as grave as not liking a thing… that is actually news to me, and it’s probably news to a lot of you guys reading this.
