. Coloring Pages. July 19th , 2016.
So now that Easter is quickly approaching and you have children you are going to want to start looking for some Easter coloring pages for them to enjoy any time off school. You should look for some coloring pages that you can print off and then look for some websites where your kids can color pages while online. You also want to make sure that you stock out on crayons or colored pencils or whatever you’re kids’ favorite coloring utensil happens to be. You will be providing your kids with an activity that they absolutely love and you will be giving them a great opportunity to express themselves and be involved with all the fun that comes with Easter.
Free coloring-page greatly assisting you to inculcate your kids about varying things; their names, colors as well as shades. Many crayon boxes carry color charts that help children to choose the right colors to use on a printable coloring page. Some web sites also contain information, tips and tricks on using the right colors when coloring these pages. In no time, your little one will be able to tell crimson from velvet and all the various blues and greens. So the next time you go looking for a new kids activity for your little one, why not turn on your computer and print a few printable coloring-page for your child. It is really no effort and your child will beam both before and after the fact.
Importance of Alphabet Coloring Pages. Kids actually enjoy learning from an early age, only you should know how to teach them. Such alphabet coloring sheets make studies lot easier and lighter for them. They learn from the very beginning to take the studies like games and build strong base for learning things easily. Lots of children at higher classes cannot handle the pressure of studies because they don’t know the exact process or method of learning because their preschool learning had been very much mechanical and dull. On the contrary preschool teens that are exposed to such easy learning process that makes things interesting and easier for them to study, they develop better learning skills and enjoy learning throughout life. The alphabets in colorful and designed methods help provide information much quicker and easier to the children and enable them to relate or learn things easily.
Why Children’s Coloring Pages are Important ==> Today’s children still love coloring just as much as the Old People used to when they were children. In addition to this fact, it’s now known that coloring is a wondrous pre-reading activity which helps children develop the hand-eye coordination they’ll need for learning how to write. Parents who encourage the use of children’s coloring pages are also encouraging an array of other development skills including decision making, patience, persistence, and creativity. Children’s coloring pages on the Internet offer a greater assortment of subject matter than the books in the stores can, and if your children want printed coloring books you can fire up that printer of yours and create a customized, one of a kind coloring book for your child. It only takes a few minutes to print out several coloring pages, and these lead to hours of entertainment and brain stimulation for your child.
Studies and researches have shown that initial five years of a child are the most critical ones from the point of view of learning. Their capacity to learn new things is at its highest ebb during this period. Children of this age group can be compared to a piece of sponge that is ready to absorb any liquid that it comes across. These are the building years for children and we need to use this period for giving them rock solid foundation that can help them in building their mansion of life upon it in a way that it becomes an example for everyone else to follow. Parents do everything possible and within their reach to give their child a solid foundation. They try to give their child the right kind of environment and facilities so that their talent and abilities bloom in a nice way. Coloring pages can play an important role in letting children grow in the right way. These pages are usually used by parents and teachers to make the child aware of alphabets, animals, monuments, vegetables, fruits, numbers, etc.
Who needs alphabet coloring pages? As already stated that alphabet coloring pages are specially designed for preschool children, however they can also be used for toddlers, kindergarten students, and also for first grade students who are little slow in learning. They have been designed to have good and positive impact on the learning capacities of children. Almost all types of alphabet coloring pages and printable materials feature school compatible Standard Block Print or D’Nealian Modern Block Print handwriting guidelines. Thus you don’t have to worry about the standards of the coloring pages for children. All the color/sans color printed alphabet coloring pages can be used as teaching aid, education display poster, decorate rooms of your children, homemade alphabet boot, coloring book and also theme alphabet coloring book. The alphabets from the printed pages can be cut into basic shapes too to make homemade puzzles for making study of alphabets more interesting.
When you print out free pages for Easter for your kids to color you are introducing them to a fantastic activity. They will learn color coordination as they experiment with how different colors look when paired up with each other. While they will come up with some wacky color combinations in the beginning, eventually they will start determining what colors look more natural when pair with each other. With Easter coloring pages kids are able to be really express their creativity as you can use very bright color combinations and design fun eggs, silly Easter bunnies, and beautiful Easter baskets. Kids will also learn how to better control their hand control while they are coloring. The more and more that they practice the more control that they will get with their hands as they color the more polished that their work will look. Kids will be so proud to here the complements that they will get with their coloring work when they finish no matter what their skill set happens to be. Coloring Easter pages can be a great confidence booster for all children.

The Guardian has pledged to no longer accept advertising from oil and gas companies.
The commitment is part of the organisation’s efforts to tackle climate change and supports its goal to reduce emissions to net zero by 2030.
It said fossil fuel-related investments currently represent less than 1% of its total funds and claims many of the fund managers with whom it works say they have created greener investment funds as a result of that decision.
Anna Bateson, Acting Chief Executive and Hamish Nicklin, Chief Revenue Officer, added in a joint statement: “We have decided that we will no longer accept advertising from fossil fuel extractive companies on any of the Guardian’s websites and apps, not in the Guardian, Observer and Guardian Weekly in print. Our decision is based on the decades-long efforts by many in that industry to prevent meaningful climate action by governments around the world.
“Of course we know some readers would like us to go further, banning ads for any product with a significant carbon footprint, such as cars or holidays. Stopping those ads would be a severe financial blow and might force us to make significant cuts to Guardian and Observer journalism around the world.”
Environmental group Greenpeace UK welcomed the move.
Senior Climate Campaigner Mel Evans said: “This is a watershed moment and the Guardian must be applauded for this bold move to end the legitimacy of fossil fuels. Oil and gas firms now find themselves alongside tobacco companies as businesses that threaten the health and well-being of everyone on this planet.
“Other media outlets, arts and sports organisations must now follow suit and end fossil fuel company advertising and sponsorship.”

Flower Hill: Del Mar’s Food Scene Bulks Up
For a minute it’s been a two-way contest: The older Del Mar Plaza restaurants vs. the new spots at the Del Mar Highlands Town Center. In the more coastal corner you’ve got Pacifica Del Mar, Il Fornaio, Del Mar Rendezvous, Shimbashi Izakaya-the glossy contemporary Flavor Del Mar closed at the Plaza recently.
And inland (technically in Carmel Valley) you’ve got chic anchor tenants like Davanti Enoteca, Mia Francesca, Burlap and Rimel’s Rotisserie.
Now another Del Mar plaza’s entering the ring: Flower Hill Promenade has been undergoing a massive, multi-million dollar renovation. Food bon vivants, you’ve already been to the Via de la Valle plaza for your gourmet chocolates, cheeses and personal-size bundt cakes. (And you know that the Chevy’s Fresh Mex there closed.)
Here’s a quick rundown of the expanding food scene at Flower Hill Promenade.
Eat Here Now:
Venissimo Cheese & Wine Bar
Dallmann Fine Chocolates
Nothing Bundt Cakes
The Wine Connection
Pannikin Coffee & Tea
Taste of Thai
Chipotle (open since November)
Eat Here Soon:
Whole Foods Market: Grand opening Feb. 27, and the conscious grocer will open Trifecta Tavern, a restaurant and bar inside the store that has 30+ craft beers on tap. wholefoodsmarket.com
Burger Lounge: They just introduced game-meat patties and gluten-free buns. And San Diego’s gourmet burger joint will soon grow by one venue. burgerlounge.com (pictured)
Sea & Smoke: From the chef-owner of Urban Solace and Solace and the Moonlight comes this American brasserie. The look of the new restaurant will be mid-century modern (designed by Bells & Whistles of Starlite fame). Follow Matt Gordon’s blog about opening Sea & Smoke, here: seaandsmoke.com (“I’m assuming people who read that are just friends of mine,” the restaurateur said.)
Cucina Enoteca: A sister restaurant to the wildly popular Cucina Urbana and Kensington Grill, this restaurant will open with chef Joe Magnanelli’s plates. ETA: June. cucinaurbana.com
YogurtLand: The franchise that brought you Birthday Cupcake Batter (a yogurt flavor!) is expected here in the spring. yogurt-land.com
Grand Opening Festivities: From Feb. 27- March 3, Flower Hill Promenade will have live entertainment, food samples and 200 tote bags for the first patrons visiting the plaza each day, starting at noon.

Maui is generally expensive, but some low-cost alternatives can be found. Maui, Hawaii , is blessed with abundant natural beauty, a top-notch surfing scene, and seriously tasty food and drinks. The only downside is that if you're not careful, a trip to Maui can get pretty pricey. It helps to have an idea of the typical prices in Maui as well as how to cut costs before you plan your trip. Hawaii is one of the most-expensive areas in the United States, and the cost of food and lodging is notably higher than that of most other states.
Hotel and other lodging prices vary widely, depending on the type of accommodations you opt for. Airfare will likely end up as the biggest expense, as flights to Maui aren't cheap: Try using flight search engine alerts and monitoring prices well in advance to score a cheaper flight. When it comes to transportation costs especially from the airport , taking an Uber is usually the more economical and convenient option. Luckily, all the surfing, swimming and sunbathing means there's plenty of free entertainment to go around.
If cost is a concern, you have plenty of ways to travel on the cheap in Maui. First, note that traveling during the off-season and shoulder season will likely save you hundreds of dollars on flights, lodging and food. Avoid Maui in the high season, which is generally from December to March or mid-April. Instead, plan your visit for late spring, from mid-April through June, or for fall, between September and early December. Renting an Airbnb or condo with a full kitchen also helps save money since dining out with cocktails in Maui are expensive.
Plan to cook meals a few nights during your trip, buy alcohol at the grocery store instead of bars, and pack picnics and snacks rather than eating out all the time. Finally, make a point to take advantage of all the free outdoor entertainment that Maui has to offer: Walking along the island's scenic hiking trails, watching a sunset on the beach, and soaking up all the amazing scenery in Maui won't cost a dime.

Question and answer
Question (Shona): How do I apply Buddhist philosophy to my life?
If I try to analyse my feelings the way you described, I sometimes get trapped in the psychology and make the emotions stronger. How can I stop doing this?
I can relate to the question because that’s what I was like in the beginning. I learned Buddhist philosophy, trying to apply it to my life, and suddenly it was too hard thinking about it. I realised that when I start thinking about it, even though I’m supposed to objectively use the philosophy, I tend to use my ego a lot instead. “Am I doing this right? Am I thinking this right?” Then I realised that I shouldn’t be thinking about me and creating another “I”, I should just think about the philosophy. It’s like an illusion of an illusion.
The root cause is your ego because you think about “I” all the time.
Often when I lose something in my room, it doesn’t matter how hard I look for it, I never find it. But if I clean up my room, it just appears out of nowhere. So, rather than concentrating on the thing that is annoying me, or the emotion, I make sure all the other aspects of my life are working properly: I’m still spending time with positive people, doing stretching, reading philosophy… That frees up my mental space and the answer to my question presents itself; I don’t have to try to make something happen.
Follow the discipline to do all the philosophy, and check that you are making Spirits your priority, rather than being stuck in nonsense thinking.
Answer (Sean Pig)
From what I gather, the problem is that sometimes you have a feeling or a thought or there’s something to do and you start thinking about it and you’re not sure “Is it right? Is it wrong? Is it good? Is it bad?”
My technique is: do it. Do whatever you think is the right thing to do next and then observe whether it’s right or wrong. Observe: does it cause suffering for others? Does it cause suffering for you now and in the future? Because it’s all just in your head until something happens.
If you do something and someone else makes a face, then you can usually say to yourself “Don’t do that again.” Or if you do it and you’re like “Oh, this is shit” then remember to not do it again next time. Sometimes making mistakes is the best way to learn; you don’t forget them so easily.
So don’t get stuck in your head. Experiment; follow the right feeling. Maybe it will still be wrong, but experiment and observe. If you are wrong, then use that as a teacher to improve.
If you get a problem stuck in your head, you’ll never make anything happen. You’re not sure, so you don’t do anything. Sometimes you do your best and even if it’s wrong, it’s not a problem because you can still learn a lot from that.
Answer (Sean Rat)
When you have a feeling, a bad one or a good one, it’s a good idea to acknowledge it: “That feeling is not me. I’m experiencing that feeling, I’m aware of that feeling, but it’s not me.”
Rather than trying to think “Is it right? Is it wrong? Should I keep doing it? How do I fix it?” distract yourself from it. By giving it more energy, you’re just making it stronger. But if you find another way to occupy yourself – by doing something fun like going surfing – when you come back, the problem probably won’t be there anymore and you’ll have forgotten about it.
So, enjoy life in a good way – not causing suffering to yourself or others – and you will probably forget your problem. A lot of the time, your problems are just a mental game that you have created as a habit.
A lot of people worry and are fearful not because they have things to worry or be fearful about, but because they have felt that way for so long that they think “This feeling is me.” As Sean Rat said, that feeling is not you; you create that feeling.
So, clean out this illusion, don’t let the feeling control you. Create a new you, a new feeling, a “Happy I”, go out and have fun and you will be able to forget your problems.
If you try to do what the others have said but you’re still stuck in the problem, find someone that you can trust and who can provide you with an objective view, and talk about it. They might be able to provide you with a different angle to help you clean it out quickly.
Find someone you know and trust who doesn’t have this kind of problem and share with them. You can always call me and many of the others here. These students offer their open heart; if you feel you are unsure about something, you can go talk to them. It’s not counselling; they won’t charge you! They will just talk to you. Stand up if you are willing to help: Sean Pig, Sean Rat, Red Bull, Giant Dog, and Shona. They have learned for quite a long time, I trust they do have a heart to care for others.

Zooplankton exported from lentic systems provision lotic systems with easily captured, consumed, and assimilated prey items. Previous studies have demonstrated that the community composition of zooplankton exports (CCZE) vary over time, which introduces temporal differences in lotic resource availability (zooplankton prey) in downstream habitats. In the study presented here, we monitored variation in CCZE from a polymictic reservoir outfall in response to physical–chemical and atmospheric conditions bi-hourly over three different 24-h periods. Community composition of zooplankton export varied over the course of the day, and exports were most closely associated with wind directionality. Future studies of temporal variation in CCZE should incorporate wind conditions, especially in shallow systems where holomixis occurs frequently. Polymictic reservoirs are becoming increasingly common as the global pace of small dam construction quickens, making both the identification of factors influencing CCZE and the impact of zooplankton exports on local biodiversity and ecosystem function increasingly important to understand.

Published Jul 26, 2008Ninja Tune undoubtedly has high expectations for Liverpool-born, L.A.-based Pop Levi on his sophomore album. After all, they were so impressed by him that they opened up a new label, Counter Records, solely to release his debut, Return to Form Black Magick Party. In just a year since that release, the label must feel vindicated. The former Ladytron bassist has moved on from the garage glam of his debut, taking on a neo-Prince persona to produce a sexed-up, genre-defying album studded with many a staggering, sure-fire single. The title track uses stutter-stop beats and an irrepressible clap-along refrain to birth a futuristic, glammed-up Wham! hit. Just as impressive is the daftly catchy, vocoder-huffing cross-dresser "Mais Space. And when you think youve got Levi pegged, he slips in a completely straight-faced ballad like "You Dont Gotta Run with a melody that would surely break any proud Bolan-ites heart. Never Never Love may be a tad side A-heavy but be prepared nonetheless for a lovely, warm, gooey feeling in the pit of your stomach, and perhaps your pants.
Did you have an idea of what you wanted the songs to sound like when you started recording them? Definitely, yes. I wanted it all to sound like Japanese toys, like super-modern toys falling in and out of love with each other. Kind of automatic, artificial soul pop. I wanted it to have a marked difference from the first record.
Could you describe what led you down the path towards this Tamagotchi pop/"robots falling in love thing?
I dont think there was one particular moment. In the beginning it was an idea that I couldnt put into words. It was a result of music I was listening to at the time, and also not a result of that. I didnt take a lot of influence from other music directly, necessarily. I was listening to a lot of Missy Elliott and a lot of Timbaland production, and I love it, man. I think sort of the best futuristic production sounds are in R&B, which almost sounds like its got a "common thing attached to it, doesnt it? But I think its rather special. I wanted to take that approach to making sound to make what I would consider a more soulful, amore, black music-oriented record. (Counter)

Farmers in the United States are likely to plant less corn and use less nitrogen fertilizer in their fields for next year’s growing season due to sky-high fertilizer prices and shortages. This trend will be less pronounced in Iowa, where fertile soils justify the extra costs.
“We have a very natural advantage for producing corn,” said Sam Funk, senior economist for the Iowa Farm Bureau. “These nitrogen fertilizers are worth more on highly productive soil in Iowa than in other states.”
A confluence of factors has led agricultural fertilizers to their highest prices in two decades, according to Green Markets, which tracks these price trends.
Global shortages of natural gas, limited fertilizer supplies and other factors had already pushed those prices up this year when Hurricane Ida made landfall in Louisiana in August. The storm halted fertilizer production in storm-affected areas and stalled shipping barges on the Mississippi River.
“You have a lot of different factors that come into play at a certain point in time,” Funk said.
He said farmers were paying up to three times the price for fertilizer they were paying a year ago, and some say it’s worse:
“Some of our farmers who have been able to secure fertilizer availability for the next planting season have reported quoted prices up to six times higher than 2021 prices,” said U.S. Representative Randy Feenstra, a Republican from northwest Iowa, during a congressional hearing last week.
Some farmers may wait to fertilize
So what will farmers do? Some are waiting to fertilize their fields until spring, and some are considering alternatives to corn, Chat Hart, an economics professor at Iowa State University, said Friday on “Iowa Press,” which airs on Iowa PBS.
An alternative is soy, which produces its own nitrogen through a symbiotic relationship with certain bacteria. Bradyrhizobium japonicum can infect the roots of soybeans and, in exchange for plant sugars, the bacteria fix nitrogen.
“Will Iowa Growers Switch More to Soy?” Funk said. “Some, but probably not to a great extent in this state. You have a yield factor that would penalize you for planting soybeans after soybeans.
Corn and soybean yields are improved when planted alternately in fields. Consecutive years of planting soybeans reduce yields, primarily due to increased presence of microscopic roundworms that damage their roots, researchers have found.
Funk said many Iowa farmers will simply be smarter with their fertilizer applications and take an economic hit due to higher costs.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Private-sector employers added jobs for a fifth straight month in June, a report released Wednesday showed, but the gain was much smaller than expected.
Automatic Data Processing, which processes paychecks for one in every six U.S. employees, said private-sector employers added 13,000 jobs to their payrolls in June, following an upwardly revised 57,000 increase in May.
June's gain missed the 61,000 jump economists surveyed by Briefing.com had been expecting.
Increases have averaged 34,000 over the past five months, according to ADP.
Employers in the goods-producing sector cut 17,000 jobs in June, while jobs in the financial services sector, which have declined for three consecutive years, dropped by 10,000 in June.
Construction jobs fell by 35,000 in June. While that's the smallest decrease since July 2008, construction jobs have declined for three years in a row and 2,226,000 jobs have been lost since January 2007.
ADP said the service-providing sector added 30,000 jobs in June, while employers in the manufacturing sector expanded payrolls by 16,000, the fifth straight month of increases.
Small businesses suffered the most cuts in June. Companies with 500 or more workers added 3,000 jobs and medium-sized businesses with between 50 and 449 workers increased payrolls by 11,000. But small businesses, defined as having fewer than 50 employees, saw employment fall by 1,000 during the month.
The ADP report sets the stage for the closely watched jobs report to be released Friday by the government. Economists forecast that employers cut payrolls by 100,000 jobs in June after adding 431,000 jobs in May.

This recipe was in the cookbook that came with Daniel’s grandmother’s food processor, decades ago. Daniel and I bought a used food processor shortly after we began living together 19 years ago, and when his grandmother heard about this, she insisted that we look through her recipes and copy some we’d like to try. Next to this one, she had written, “DANIEL’S FAVORITE!!!!” She was a very enthusiastic person, so Daniel’s first response to hearing about this was that he must have said he kind of liked this cake one time. However, when I made it, he found that he really does like it a lot.
Now it’s his traditional birthday cake that I bake every February. I try to make it the night before so that we can start eating it for birthday breakfast, because it is a coffee cake–it’s not super-duper-sweet, being almost half fruit, so it’s good for breakfast as well as dessert. We’ve also made it in the summer when we find a good price on blueberries.
The original recipe called for white flour only. We’ve tried substituting whole wheat flour for one-third of it, and that makes a healthier cake without any noticeable difference in taste or texture, so that’s how I’ve written the recipe.
I’ve never tried to make it without using the food processor, but I’m sure you could–just chop the nuts finely before you start mixing, and mix the batter in a bowl with a rubber scraper.
To make one 8″ square cake, you will need:
- 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup + 3 Tbsp. butter
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup unbleached white flour
- dash of salt
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh, or frozen and thawed)
Set up food processor with standard blade. Put in nuts, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Cut 3 Tbsp. butter into 3 chunks and place them separately on top of the food. (This helps the butter mix in evenly.) Pulse the food processor just until nuts are chopped. Transfer mixture to a bowl and set aside.
Measure flour into food processor. Cut the remaining 1/2 cup butter into about 8 chunks and place them separately on the flour. Add salt, baking powder, baking soda, and white sugar. Pulse the food processor just until the butter is absorbed.
Add eggs, milk, and vanilla. Run the food processor about 30 seconds. If batter looks unevenly mixed, scrape down the sides and whiz it a few seconds more.
Grease and flour the baking pan. Spread batter in it. Spoon the blueberries on top and then swirl them into the batter. Sprinkle the nut topping on top.
Bake at 350F for 40 minutes.

Any festival is incomplete without desserts. Kids are gonna love this crazy yummzz 🙂
Yes, our 10-year-old loves this cake, too! I routinely make two at once so we’ll all feel we got enough pieces.
Our baby isn’t eating cake yet, so we served her some extra blueberries and some Cheerios while we were eating our cake.
Good idea. I myself love cakes!
Sound wonderful. Hope Daniel had a wonderful birthday and enjoyed his cake. Thanks for sharing on Real Food Fridays.

Oklahoma City's Wes Welker suffered his third Super Bowl defeat Sunday night in the Broncos' 43-8 loss to the Seahawks. Welker's other Super Bowl defeats were with the New England Patriots, in tight games against the New York Giants. This was different, despite Welker's eight catches for 84 yards:
“I felt like we were moving the ball fine. We were still in the game at halftime. Even after they returned the kick (to open the second half), I felt like we were still in the game. I never really felt out of it. It's just frustrating to get this far and lose like this. It's embarrassing.”
“I don't know (if this was Peyton Manning's best chance at another Super Bowl win). He's had his best year in his whole career at the age of 37. I wouldn't say that he's really slowing down. He's going upward instead of downward.”
(The safety) “it's never the way you want to start a game, that's for sure. It's tough, but you have to bounce back from it. We just never really rebounded. It was tough to get going. It always is when you aren't executing the way you need to execute. That's the way it went.”

The Birmingham Times
As an avid student of race and culture with a passion for telling stories, Majella Chube Hamilton wakes up and goes to sleep with a love for history. That’s why her work as executive director of the Ballard House Project Inc. is so important.
“We research, document, preserve, and share the information we uncover regarding the African American experience in Birmingham,” said Hamilton. “We host oral-history sessions, community conversations, and temporary exhibits, and we’re [also] working on permanent exhibits.”
The Ballard House Project Inc., part of the downtown Birmingham Civil Rights District, is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to disseminating the history of the African American experience among children and adults within the community, across the state, and beyond.
The building, named after renowned Birmingham physician Edward H. Ballard, MD, was constructed in the first half of the 20th century as a medical office and residence for the doctor’s family; it is one of the few surviving live-work structures in the Magic City.
The Ballard home served as a meeting place for African American organizations barred from gathering in other areas of the city and hosted noted physicians, including Dodson Curry, MD, Herschell Hamilton, MD, and Ross Gardner, MD.
Hamilton and her team focus on and feature not only specifics about what happened in the Ballard House but also the innovative contributions, educators, business owners, and women who lived together and created amazing networks throughout Birmingham.
“We have some resources we’ve gathered that are part of our exhibits, some of which are from the early 1900s,” Hamilton said. “We have information we’ve been sharing about the African American experience in Birmingham, … what was going on here and what we think is important for the community to know.”
The Ballard House Project, which received its nonprofit status in 2010, began with community conversations, collective-memory sessions, and oral history.
“We have been working for more than 10 years to gather the shared experiences of [Birmingham’s] African American community. We started having community conversations and gatherings of individuals to learn about their shared experiences and also individual oral histories,” said Hamilton, who has long been interested in learning the back story of a particular initiative or why things are the way they are.
“I recognized early on that there were aspects of this community that had been marginalized, had been ignored, and we weren’t talking about it,” she said. “People talk about their culture and their families and their extended families and their neighborhoods, usually within their own circles. I felt through all of my community activism that some aspects were not being discussed and engaged.
“It’s important to uncover and discover rich, historical information not to dwell on the past but to connect what happened yesterday with what is currently happening in our community today,” Hamilton said.
“In order to move forward, we feel that we’ve got to reach back and find out about what happened in the past so we can empower each other,” she continued. “I’d like to see children, adults, all of us be empowered by this information. … I’d also like to make sure that this is the history of not just Birmingham’s African American communities but all of Birmingham’s communities, which are part of the history of this nation. It is universally important.”
Hamilton, who is in her early 50s, spent most of her childhood in Franklin, La., a small town outside of New Orleans. When she was 12 years old, her family moved to Gary, Ind.
“My childhood was culturally rich,” she said. “My parents were dedicated to the community in which they lived, and they worked all of their lives to uplift the small community we lived in. I have one brother and two sisters, and we all learned the importance of hard work, giving back to our communities, and using the opportunities we received in ways that would be beneficial for others.”
Both of Hamilton’s parents, O’Neal and Merion, were educators and community activists.
“They were Civil Rights activists in the sense that they broke down barriers in their community, as well as worked to unify their community,” she said. “[In Franklin], there is a street named after my dad and … a library named after my mom. In that community, my mother was the first African American librarian … and my dad was one of the first African American principals.”
When the family moved to Indiana, Hamilton’s parents were retired. They moved so her father could help his brother, who was a family physician, with his medical practice.
Hamilton finished high school in Gary and went on to Howard University in Washington, D.C., where she majored in public relations.
“I did several internships in that career and decided I wanted to stop after three years in school for a period of time to work in D.C.,” she said. “I started an internship and really liked it, so I was like, ‘Hey, this is great. I want to do this.’ I decided to really get my feet wet and see if I really liked what I was doing. I worked for close to year and then I decided to finish my studies at DePaul University in Chicago, [Ill.]”
Hamilton earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications with an emphasis on public relations and journalism. While living in Chicago, she worked in several different fields and was engaged to be married to her college sweetheart, Herschell, who she met at Howard. The Hamiltons, who have been married since the early 1990s, have two children, Jillian and Herschell O’Neal, called Neal. Jillian is a Howard University graduate currently pursuing a PhD in psychology at the University of Oregon, and Neal is a student at Howard.
The Magic City
Hamilton accepted a position with Macy’s and took part in the company’s executive training program, which is how she ultimately landed in Birmingham. After living in Atlanta, Ga., she and her husband relocated to the Magic City, where Hamilton moved into a corporate position with the locally based Parisian department store chain (now known as Belk).
“Eventually, I became the public information director for the city of Birmingham and worked for Mayor Richard Arrington and his administration for a little more than five years,” she said. “In that role, I created and opened the Office of Public Information to inform, engage, and be responsive to the questions and needs residents had about their city.”
From there, Hamilton started her own strategic communications business.
“I did project management and worked on a number of different special projects, including editing magazines and conducting special-event initiatives,” she said. “[I also videotaped] projects, managing and coordinating … many that dealt with community, culture, and history.”
Hamilton put her business to the side for a time to work for Southern Living magazine, covering areas such as interior design and architecture. What she enjoyed most, however, was doing features that enabled her to chronicle the stories of prominent African Americans in society.
“I did stories on people like Children’s Defense Fund founder Marian Wright Edelman and the quilters of Gee’s Bend,” she said. “I also did a story on Haley Farms, the farm outside Knoxville, Tenn., that [“Roots” author] Alex Haley purchased prior to his death.”
During her magazine stint, Hamilton was also able to cover the African American experience: “I saw a gap was there,” she said. “[There were so many] individuals and aspects of our community that had contributed so much but not very many people knew about them, so that was an opportunity I loved.”
After leaving Southern Living, Hamilton returned to being a businessowner, establishing Enclave Communication Strategies, where she created strategic plans for projects in the community. She spent her free time on efforts designed to raise awareness about history, art, and culture, and along with her husband and others started working on the Ballard House Project.
“Quietly and methodically, we started to pull back the layers on the Ballard House and began stripping things away and restoring what was here,” said Hamilton, who is currently enrolled in a PhD program in history with an emphasis on race and culture at Howard University.
“We realized how important this aspect of history in the community is to the entire history of the area, so we started making plans to do what we’re doing now—telling those stories and highlighting the voices and experiences of the African American community in Birmingham.”
This summer, the Ballard House Project started hosting a new series, entitled “Talking Circles: The Impact of Jim Crow Then and Now.”
“We cover every facet of the impact of Jim Crow, [including] culture, health, education, business, housing, voting, traumatic violence, and everything as it relates to race and the laws, customs, and ordinances [under] Jim Crow in Birmingham,” said Hamilton.
“We didn’t know exactly how we were going to focus on it, but it was a wonderful opportunity because we focus on dialogic engagement. Through dialogue [among those attending the Talking Circle], we were able to determine the specific topics or facets of community impact we wanted to focus on. We’re inviting different individuals and community leaders who have some expertise on the different topics … to lead this initiative.”
So far, there have been three Talking Circles at the Ballard House and other locations. They are held on the second and fourth Saturday of each month; starting in October, they will be held on the second and third Saturday of each month. Among the myriad topics discussed are genealogy, migration, and the African diaspora. At the next event, scheduled for October 12, Greg Townsend of the Jefferson County Department of Health will discuss the impact of Jim Crow on health and health care in the African American community.
Currently, the Ballard House Project is conducting a $1 million capital campaign to raise funds to restore the building.
“We want to fully restore the building,” Hamilton said. “[We’ve been making improvements] little by little throughout the years as needed, but we know full restoration of this building is critical. We also have already started on the development of a master community garden, which … will be in the lot next door. This plan also includes infrastructure for permanent exhibits, … [both] interior and exterior.”
In addition to the special events and Talking Circles series, the organization hosts community conversations and collaborates with other groups.
“We’ve hosted community conversations, … most of which are in different parts of the city, as well as sometimes here at the Ballard House and at several [local] libraries,” Hamilton said. “We’ve also hosted temporary exhibits, whether here or somewhere else, including one at the Taste of 4th Avenue Jazz Festival, where we’ve hosted exhibits [that enable] people to come learn more about their history.”
The Ballard House also does presentations at schools for students and adults.
“We want this to be a community initiative. That’s our focus,” Hamilton said. “We’re doing more than just unveiling what happened. This is a collaborative process with members of the community.”

If you posit that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is here to stay, then what? One possibility for advocates of consumer-driven health reform is to embrace the health care reform law. Like, really embrace it. To the max.
Obamacare for All.
Look, we need real reform to stem health care inflation and efficiently and sustainably modernize America’s social safety net along market-friendly principles. In a recent blog post, Avik Roy outlines a fairly simple and straightforward way of doing this.
1. Deregulate the state exchanges, while capping subsidies.
2. Slowly shift Medicare patients into the exchanges.
3. Let more people buy insurance on their own rather than through their employer.
4. Move Medicaid patients into the exchanges.
The result would be a more coherent system where more Americans would be buying health insurance on their own from private insurers competing hard for their business. More Americans would be acting as involved consumers. “Under an Obamacare-ified Medicare system,” Roy writes, “upper-income seniors would no longer be eligible for the program, saving trillions of dollars. And growth in Medicare and Medicaid spending would be defined by a sustainable growth rate, rather than a blank check.”
It’s a system that would look a lot like Switzerland’s. And that’s a good thing. Roy:
The Swiss enjoy a unique combination of universal coverage and free-market health care that the U.S. could come to resemble. The Swiss use a premium-support model that is similar in many ways to the various Paul Ryan proposals for Medicare, and also to the Obamacare exchanges.
There are no government-run “public options” in Switzerland—everyone buys private-sector insurance in a regulated market. But the Swiss make sure everyone gets coverage by offering low-income citizens a subsidy, on a sliding scale, to buy coverage. The system works reasonably well, and the Swiss government spends less than 3% of GDP on health care, compared to nearly 8% for the United States.
Economist Regina Herzlinger also describes how the Swiss system works:
There are no government health insurance programs. Instead, the Swiss choose from about 85 private heath insurers. Rather than being stuffed into the degrading Medicaid program, the Swiss poor shop for health insurance like everyone else, using funds transferred to them by the government. The sick are not discriminated against either — they pay the same prices as everyone else in their demographic category. Like the US, Switzerland is a confederation of states that, as in the US, oversee the insurance system. Enforcement by the tax authorities has produced 99 percent enrollment.
This consumer-driven, universal coverage system provides excellent health care for the sick, tops the world in consumer satisfaction, and costs 40 percent less, as a percentage of GDP, than the system in the US. The Swiss could spend even less by choosing cheaper, high deductible health insurance policies, but they have opted against doing so. Swiss consumers reward insurers that offer the best value for the money. These competitive pressures cause Swiss insurers to spend only about 5 percent on general and administrative expenses, as compared to 12-15 percent in the US. And unlike Medicare, the private Swiss firms must function without incurring massive unfunded liabilities. Competition has also pushed Swiss providers to be more efficient than those in the US. Yet they remain well-compensated.
We can also learn from the mistakes made by the Swiss. For example, they pay providers for fragmented care, rather than for integrated treatments for diseases or disabilities. The Swiss sustain an inefficient hospital sector, and they aren’t transparent about the cost and quality of providers.
Under this system, there would be still be constant battles over regulations and benefits and subsidies. But bottom-up, market forces would be more involved in rationalizing the sector, particularly for poorer Americans and older Americans. The transformation would also would makes it less likely the US ever moves to a truly nationalized, government-run health care system since Medicare would morph into a de facto premium support system. And politically, it would automatically give Republicans a broad health care agenda beyond “repeal and replace with something or other.” Roy presents an intriguing plan worthy of more debate and study.Published in

In a partnership with Campus Refuse and Recycling (now Cal Zero Waste, the Graduate Assembly Environmental Sustainability Committee, the UC Berkeley Grounds Services, and additional funding from The Green Initiative Fund (TGIF), the Recycling Bin Redesign project began at UC Berkeley in Spring of 2009. The goal of this project was increase the number of recycling bins on campus while also increasing the number of students who recycle and reduce cross-contamination within recycling. Furthermore, the redesigned bins will incorporate a compost waste stream while also improving upon the ergonomics of current waste receptacles on campus to reduce the number of work related injuries within the PP-CS. The installation of 75 new bins was estimated to result in a landfill diversion rate of 136,500 lbs per year, a savings of 9964.5 kgCO2 per year.
Since Fall of 2009, I worked with two other UC Berkeley undergraduate students to work on the overall look and feel of the redesigned bins. During this process, we have had to seek approval upon designs from administrative heads on campus such as the Campus Landscape Architect.
As of Summer 2012, the prototypes were finalized and ordered. And finally, as of Spring 2013, the new recycle bins have been manufactured and are now in place across the UC Berkeley campus! Check out some of the amazing photos below! Since then, the bins have been featured in many news articles including the Daily Californian and the UC Berkeley News Center.

The cucumber is one of the top five most popular garden vegetables, probably because it is adaptable and very easy to grow. Cucumbers require significant water – when grown in very high temperatures or with inadequate water, they can become increasingly bitter. Many of the newer varieties we carry, though, have no bitterness even under stress. They grow best in full sun, prefer a light, fertile, well drained soil, and long, deep waterings rather than frequent sprinklings. Cucumbers also adapt well to vertical growing … help the young cucumber plants find the structure by placing their tendrils around the support. Cucumbers also do very well in containers if kept properly moist. They also do well in greenhouses and cold frames.
There are three rules for harvesting cucumbers – pick, pick, pick. If mature fruit is left on the vine, the plant figures it has finished production and will stop setting fruit. To harvest, cut the cuke from the plant rather than twisting it. Refrigerate as soon as possible.
Cucumber Armenian: 65 days. This cucumber is more closely related to muskmelon. Even those that don’t like cucumbers love this variety!
Cucumber Homemade Pickles: 55 days. Unarguably the best cucumber available for pickles. Also great for salads. 4′ compact vines. Excellent disease resistance.
Cucumber Lemon: 65 days. This adorable cucumber looks like a lemon, eats like an apple! Sweet and crisp, mild flavor. Slicer or pickler.
Cucumber Baby Persian: 48 days. Snack size, seedless, thin skinned, non-bitter, for the greenhouse or garden. High yielding, & starts early. Delicious eaten in the garden, packed into a lunch box, or added to salad, these crunchy mini-cucumbers are quite tasty!
Cucumber Spacemaster: 62 days. A very compact, bushy plant that won’t take over your entire garden. Very small, 2′ – 3′ vines won’t take up the whole garden and is great for containers.
Cucumber Straight Eight: 63 days. This very vigorous and productive slicing cucumber introduced in 1935, is excellent for salads and pickles. Older variety, still around because of great performance. All – America Selections Winner.

Debt and Deficit: Where We are Now
Deficit Significantly Improved in Recent Years
In January 2009, President Obama took office in the midst of the deepest economic downturn since the Great Depression. That month, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projected that President Obama was inheriting a deficit that would be well over $1 trillion for fiscal year 2009, a year that was already one-third over at that point. That year's deficit turned out to be $1.4 trillion.
Even though the recession turned out to be deeper than we knew at the time, the deficit has steadily declined since then. It is projected at $455 billion this year, according to the most recent estimates, the smallest level since 2007.
The deficit has improved even more when measured as a share of the economy. In these terms, the deficit has fallen from 9.8 percent of the economy in 2009 to an estimated 2.6 percent this year. This is a sustainable level for the economy.
National Debt Has Stabilized but Action Needed Soon
After growing in the recession and its aftermath, the national debt has now stabilized. Debt held by the public this year is estimated at 75.3 percent of GDP. Under the President's proposed budget, it would drop to 74.6 percent by 2018 and remain at that level through 2025.
While the actual debt burden has stabilized, the debt is continuing to climb in nominal dollars and a temporary suspension of the debt limit expired earlier this year. The Treasury Department is now using so-called "extraordinary measures" to avoid default and continue financing government activities – something it has had to routinely to turn to in recent years as the country reached the debt limit. Treasury's ability to manage this way is expected to run out sometime later this year or early next year. Before that point, Congress will need to raise or suspend the debt ceiling in order to avoid the United States defaulting on its obligations.
The need to act results from the need to finance activities Congress has already authorized. While some oppose raising the debt ceiling as an increase in the limit on the nation's credit card, in fact opposing an increase in the debt limit is more analogous to using a credit card and refusing to pay the bill when it arrives.
Holding Debt Limit Hostage Hurts Economy and Budget
We have approached the debt limit several times in recent years. In those cases, brinksmanship by the majority has caused economic troubles as investors responded to uncertainty and the possibility that the United States might default on its obligations. The result has increased Treasury's borrowing costs, thus generating higher debt.
Proponents of holding the debt limit – and thus the economy – hostage have argued that they are doing so in order to reduce future borrowing by obtaining policy concessions and/or budgetary reforms.
However, efforts to attach budgetary reforms to an increase in the debt limit can be counterproductive. In 2011, as part of debt limit legislation, Congress created the current sequester process to force an agreement to reduce future deficits. No agreement was reached and we are now stuck with a process and budget cuts that are weakening our economy and possibly our national defense.

What is Chemistry?
Chemistry is the study of matter and its properties. It is how and why substances combine or separate to form other substances and how the substances interact with energy. Chemistry is a subdiscipline of science that deals with the study of matter and the substances that constitute it. The Subject primarily focuses on ions, atoms, molecules which in turn forms elements and compounds. Chemical species interact with each other and often form chemical bonds. You will get to know the interactions between matter and energy in Chemistry.

Relation between Chemistry and Other Branches of Science
Science is a systematic study of the natural universe, its structure, and everything it includes. Due to the vastness of natural Universe Science has been divided into various disciplines that cover certain aspects of the Universe. Primary Subcategories of science under which these disciplines can be grouped are as follows
Formal Sciences: It involves the study of language disciplines concerning formal systems. Scientific disciplines that come under this category are logic and mathematics. It can be treated as “Language of Science”.
Natural Sciences: It is the study of natural phenomena through experiments and observations. Biology, Physics, Chemistry come under this category.
Social Sciences: Includes the study of human societies and relationships between humans that dwell in these societies. Scientific disciplines that fall under this category are psychology, sociology, and economics.
When it comes to the relationship between major branches of sciences, chemistry lies close to all of these. Chemistry is a central science that has its roots in several other disciplines of science.
Branches of Chemistry
Primary Branches of Chemistry are physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and biochemistry, etc. In addition to these, there will be several specialized fields of chemistry that deal with cross-disciplinary matters. Few other disciplines include medicinal chemistry, neurochemistry, nuclear chemistry, materials chemistry, polymer chemistry, environmental chemistry, and thermochemistry.
Chemistry Examples in our Day to Day Lives
Chemistry reactions take place constantly around us. The human body undergoes thousands of chemical reactions every day. All the body’s actions right from the digestion of food to the movement of muscles. Some other examples in day to day lives of humans are as follows
- Photosynthesis allows plants to convert water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide into glucose, and oxygen is a chemical reaction. It is the Process on which the Food Chain is built.
- Soaps and Chemicals we use in hygiene process is a chemical process called Emulsification.
- Sunscreen Lotions which we use to protect the human body from harmful UV-A and UV-B radiation is based on Chemistry.

Recent bus driver shortages interrupting our local public-school systems and rising gas prices bring an issue to the surface that those of us in Transportation Resources work hard to untangle. Why is a large segment of the population in our region not utilizing alternative modes of transportation?
When the bus driver shortage threatened to shut down Guilford County public schools, it was troubling to watch parents thrown into chaos, as were most of the student riders who were high school-aged young adults. Parents went on the news worried about their grown kids hopping on the city bus and shuttling across their hometown streets to get to school. Social media chatter was hot on the topic, and neighborhoods went on various message platforms talking about the havoc that was sure to come.
But students rode the city bus, and havoc never came. Various local news outlets reported that Guilford County School (GCS) and Greensboro Transit Authority (GTA) officials felt that everything went smoothly. Kevin Elwood with GTA issued this statement, “We recognize that there are perceptions out there about the safety of using public transportation, especially with children, but we emphasize the fact that we have professional drivers [and] we have cameras on the buses that record all the activities …” (wfmynews2).
Fast forward to May 2022, and gas prices reached record highs. It is no surprise that Americans are susceptible to the cost of oil. When it comes to getting around, the United States is a worldwide outlier. Decades of car-centric land-use decisions have created a landscape where owning a motor vehicle is almost required. As a result, “Americans currently consume roughly 20% of the world’s oil despite having less than 5% of the population” (The Philadelphia Inquirer, LLC).
With the idea that public transit is an easy, safe, and affordable option, we should rethink how to utilize alternative forms of transportation, especially in the Triad region, where an excellent system is already in place. Narrowing down our vast region to focus on Winston-Salem, High Point, Burlington, and Greensboro, there is already a seamless bus system working. Within each city, the agencies work together to offer standardized payment methods and service delivery and identify areas where partner consistency is beneficial to our riders. An excellent example is that each agency promotes biking as an option and has equipped their vehicles with the same standardized bike racks.
Unique to our region, Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation (PART) connects member counties and cities so citizens can easily commute throughout our region utilizing public transportation. PART also offers a Vanpool service designed to help people in the Triad share their ride to work. It works through a lease that is split among the group members. The more people, the lower the cost. They offer 7 to 15 passenger vans to groups of 3 or more people on a month-to-month lease.
As an added option to encourage alternate means of mobility, PART manages 17strategically placed Park & Ride lots throughout our member counties. These offer free day parking to those sharing rides, accessing bus systems, vanpooling, or utilizing other modes of transportation. In addition, some of these Park & Ride lots offer electric vehicle charging stations for commuters.
And we can’t have this conversation without mentioning our fragile planet. Most citizens now see the sustainability of our natural environment as necessary. And the Triad can beam with environmentalist pride that our communities have positioned us with a comprehensive and valuable public transportation system. Now, all we need to do is utilize it! Expand it and enhance it! There is no better time than now to make our move!

Beginning with their summer workouts at North Park, Coach Tom Moul had a feeling that this year’s boys’ cross country team could compete with the top WPIAL contenders. Having just captured the WPIAL Class AAA Section 4 championship with an 8-0 record, it appears they are on a good path to reach that goal.
Additionally, senior Christian Fitch won gold for his individual performance.
“I talked to the boys a lot over the past week or so about having to really focus, especially on the kids running for Indiana, our main competitor, because they were the state runner-up last year,” says Coach Tom Moul. “They are a really good team and only lost one runner to graduation. I was a little nervous for them going into the race, but to see the guys set a goal, and then make it happen, was really rewarding. I’m very proud of them.”
Over the course of the season, Coach Moul says he has seen a lot of improvement in the boys’ team, especially from juniors Shane Funk and Ryan Kenyon, and sophomore Jack Lorence.
PIAA and WPIAL medalist Christian, who just gave a verbal commitment to Temple University and was offered full academic and athletic scholarships to run cross country and track, was so far ahead of the pack that no one was remotely close to him at the finish line.
The next step for the runners is the Tristate Track Coaches Association Championship to be held Oct. 17 at California University of Pennsylvania. The course is the same one used for the upcoming October 24 WPIAL Class AAA Championship and gives athletes a good chance to experience the route prior to WPIALs.
