The Grand Rapids Community College Board of Trustees ratified a five-year faculty contract Monday.
GRCC faculty approved the contract Feb. 15 by faculty, and an agreement on the terms of the merit evaluation system was reached March 13.
“The system requires faculty to do things to be meritorious,” said Fred van Hartesveldt, GRCC Faculty Association president. “It involves some peer review…(in which) other faculty members will be sitting in on their colleagues’ classes.”
He said “this will replace the longevity step system,” in which faculty automatically received raises every year. Under the new system, if faculty members are meritorious, they can receive a raise every two years from hiring year to the 11th year, again on the 14th year, and then every five years until a cap at year 30, a schedule that was established when faculty voted last month.
Also included last month was mention of a two-tier system, in which newly hired faculty will earn less than current faculty.
GRCC President Steven Ender said this will save the college about $4 million over the course of the contract with the step system and cost of living increases no longer included.
“I think that we’ve bargained in good faith and we’ve reaching an agreement that will really benefit this institution and our students,” said GRCC President Steven Ender.
Newly hired faculty will not be affected by the right-to-work law under this contract because it was ratified before the law goes into effect on March 27. The law would keep faculty from being required to pay union fees or join the union as an employment condition.
The contract will begin for the 2013-2014 academic year, during which no salary increases will be given, and the merit raises will begin for the 2014-2015 academic year.

text: Day-by-day journal jottings are usually of interest only to their author, but Page's notes to herself aren't private: they were written for the listening audience of National Public Radio. Casual, brief and commonsensical, her comments best serve the needs of the beginning gardener hungry for facts and plainspoken reassurance, hints for initial success or information on unexpected quirks of nature (e.g., a pie plate filled with water will lure bees to a garden). In particular, Page, a former editor of National Gardening magazine, coaxes novices to take the plunge into vegetable gardening, advising on how to grow prizewinning pumpkins and maintain "woodchuck control" (nasturtiums planted around the garden, or a good dousing of "the family urine" at its edges, are recommended methods). Though well-known flowers (irises, daylilies) are discussed, they are not Page's consuming interest, nor are yuppie fantasies of backyard paradises. On slugs, Page remarks, "Yuk"; endearingly, she admits making mistakes, and consults other experts when in doubt. Hers is an easy book to pick up, put downand pick up again.

"The Virgin of the Rocks" was once displayed in a church in Milan that has since been destroyed.
Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece had been moved due to renovations.
The Italian artist, scientist and engineer died on May 2, 1519. His influence is still being felt today.
Rome and Paris are setting aside recent tensions this Thursday to honour the memory of the Renaissance genius in the town where he spent his final years.
Dario Gambarin used a tractor to furrow lines forming a 27-sq-km representation of da Vinci's face in a field.
Research from the Uffizi gallery in Florence has proved that Renaissance master Leonardo Da Vinci could draw and paint with both hands.
A small but historical workshop is going centuries back in time to make silk.
The price for Da Vinci's portrait of Christ was more than double the previous record.
It's currently on display at Christie's in London before its sale next month in New York.
The last Leonardo de Vinci painting in private hands is going to auction in New York in November
Curators believe that a nude portrait kept for years could be a sketch version of the Mona Lisa.
An Italian art detective claims that Leonardo da Vinci used both a female and a male model to create the face of one of the world’s most famous
The Palazzo Reale in Milan is celebrating the archetypal Renaissance man Leonardo Da Vinci with the largest ever exhibition of his works organised in Italy.
Sections of a Leonardo Da Vinci mural which have been hidden for over 500 years are to go on show at this week’s Milan’s Expo 2015. 'Lost' Leonardo
A long-lost portrait by Leonardo da Vinci has been seized from a Swiss bank vault by Italian police investigating tax and insurance fraud. Talks were
“In 2012, we sent over 90,000 people abroad on traineeships through the Leonardo da Vinci Programme,” says Paul Tzimas from the DG Education and


It hangs on motherboard Gigabyte Z77P-D3] splash screen during BIOS boot sequence.
I saw few people had similar problem with Simucube 1, but haven’t found good solution. It happens also when torque off button is pressed.
Obvious workaround is to switch it on after Windows starts loading.
I guess there are no downsides to this? Is this recommenced solution?
I tried different USB ports, but it didn’t work.
Perhaps some BIOS settings should be changed?
We have investigated this issue. It seems to happen on only some motherboards and is maybe more frequent in some Intel z77 based chipsets from 2012-2015 period.
Can someone confirm that this happens also on some more modern motherboards?
It’s possible this is one of few models that have some outdated USB handling during boot, because some USB game controllers caused about 20 second motherboard splash screen wait (instead of 5 seconds) before OS boot. I finally managed to fix it by switching some USB ports.
Unfortunately with this problem it didn’t work.
But it’s not a big deal to switch the wheelbase on after BIOS boot sequence.
I had another issue with circuit breaker tripping (it’s unfortunately only 10A) when I switch on my power strip with both power supplies plugged in.
I was aware this problem may occur with older electrical installations. So I switch on power strip with only one power supply and the plug in second one.
Edit: I will create another topic to ask which inrush current limiter is recommended for 10A limited circuits or perhaps reply in the existing thread.
In my case switching off the wheelbase doesn’t make boot process continue. I also can’t enter BIOS setup. In such case I can only use PC’s reset button. I just thought it might help.
Again it’s minor issue and if it only happens to rare motherboard models, then I guess it’s not worth spending much time on this.
I had this issue on my system, USB related, if I pulled all the USBs out and rebooted (and I mean ALL) the PC would boot fine, plug them all back in and reconfigure all my Com ports and buttons. This was random and inconsistent.
After I purchased a dedicated USB card with 4 independent controllers… no problem anymore.
Has anyone with this issue tried plugging the SC into a powered USB hub? If that makes it boot then it’s perhaps a power issue.
I have a ASRock z77extreme4, and pc does not boot if the simucube2 motor is powered on BEFORE i boot/reboot the computer.

Though initial reports said that “Dumb and Dumber To” would begin filming later in the summer, Jeff Daniels recently offered up a status update on the movie’s production. During an interview on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon,” he claimed that the “Dumb and Dumber” sequel will actually begin shooting in September.
“It’ll be the 20th anniversary of the first one next year when it’s released,” he says. “I’ve seen the script. It’s hysterical. We’re middle-aged. We’re not pretending we aren’t. We’re middle-aged and we’re still that stupid.”
During a recent interview with Zap2it, Daniels admitted that he might have to put some extra effort into making sure his “Dumb and Dumber” persona doesn’t slip into “The Newsroom,” and vice versa.
“It’s the perfect time to do it. Imagine the mental gymnastics I’m going to have to perform to pull that off, to go from Will to Harry, then back to Will if there’s a Season 3. It’s an actor’s dream,” he says. “I hope two things. I hope that when people see ‘The Newsroom’ and ‘Dumb and Dumber To,” they don’t see Will in Harry or Harry in Will. Second, I’m terrified that I’ll get into ‘The Newsroom’ and Harry will suddenly appear in the middle of a newscast.”
“The Newsroom” Season 2 premieres on HBO on July 14.

This origami tessellation is derived from my earlier Parallelograms Tessellation. By piecing together two symmetric “halves” of a parallelogram, we end up with a triangle. This relation may be even more pronounced when comparing the back sides of these two designs.
Since this tessellation lacks the vertical shift between molecules that Parallelograms have, it was much easier to collapse, and a clean precrease was possible. Each triangle takes 8×6 grid units. The model shown here is based around a 16×16 grid: actually it should use 16×18 since there are three rows of triangles, but since the lowest two grid units are used for connecting to the next row of molecules, we can skip them when folding the last row.
Based on pre-creasing this particular sheet, I wrote down a few notes on clean precreasing since I think it is an important element of my folding style.

Food is Medicine – A Story You Must Hear or See!
- Posted on: May 15 2017
Did you know that upwards of 70% or more of the risk of autoimmune disease, mental health issues, cancer, and, in fact, most chronic diseases is determined by diet, toxin exposure, and activity level? And, because of this, dramatically changing your diet and your exposure to environmental toxins can create incredible improvements in chronic diseases?
Dr. Terry Wahls is a board-certified internal medicine physician who was diagnosed with progressive multiple sclerosis. The disease left her wheelchair-bound and on her way to dementia and an early death. Although she was being treated by the foremost medical experts and placed on multiple medications, her disease continued to progress. She was told by her doctors to get her affairs in order.
But she didn’t give up.
After determining how to maximize the delivery of nutrients and energy to her brain cells, she was able to not only halt the progression of her disease, but reverse it. She went from being confined to a wheelchair to completing an 18-mile bicycle tour.
Dr. Wahls reversed her disease, not with medications, but by using the power of food. By adding certain foods to her diet and removing others, she was able to get off her medications and live a normal life again. Over the past several years she has achieved similar results with her patients, all while reducing their dependence on prescription medications.
I’ve been fortunate enough to have Dr. Wahls share her work, results, and recommendations on the latest episode of my podcast, The Holistic Plastic Surgery Show. It’s truly an eye-opener. If you or someone you know suffers from chronic autoimmune disease, please check it out and share it with your loved ones. Even if you don’t know someone with autoimmune disease, the information she shares is fascinating and can really change lives.
To watch the show, go to www.dryoun.com/video. If you prefer to listen to the audio podcast, click: www.dryoun.com/audio. Even better, SUBSCRIBE to one or both versions so you never miss the newest advice in health, beauty, and cosmetic treatments!

BEIJING/SHANGHAI, May 6 (Reuters) - Hong Kong shares ended higher on Wednesday, as investors saw China’s yuan fixing offering some relief, amid a resurgence in Sino-U.S. trade tensions.
** At the close of trade, the Hang Seng index was up 268.82 points, or 1.13%, at 24,137.48. The Hang Seng China Enterprises index rose 1.13% to 9,807.76. ** The sub-index of the Hang Seng tracking energy shares rose 2.1%, while the IT sector rose 2.09%, the financial sector ended 0.84% higher and the property sector rose 0.95%.
** China’s central bank set the yuan at a broadly neutral midpoint, analysts said, helping take the focus off the exchange rate, a typically contentious point in Sino-U.S. ties. ** U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration have repeatedly taken aim at China, pinning the blame on it as the source of the pandemic and warned that it would be held to account.
** On Tuesday, he urged China to be transparent about the origins of the novel coronavirus that has killed more than a quarter of a million people worldwide since it started in Chinese city of Wuhan. ** H-shares have priced in fresh trade tensions between Washington and Beijing in previous trading days, and most investors assume no immediate measures will be taken amid ongoing epidemic and economic growth pressures in the United States, said Zhang Gang, analyst with China Central Securities.
** Mainland China investors are also waiting for more stimulus measures to materialize ahead of the annual parliament meeting, which is scheduled for the end of the month, Zhang added. ** China’s main Shanghai Composite index closed up 0.63% at 2,878.14 points on the first trading day since Thursday, erasing earlier losses on new stimulus hopes, while the blue-chip CSI300 index ended up 0.61%.
** As of May 5, China reported two new coronavirus cases and 20 new asymptomatic cases, data from the national health authority showed.
** Business activity in Hong Kong shrank further in April, a private sector survey showed on Wednesday, as the conronavirus pandemic weighed heavily on demand, output and business confidence.
** Around the region, MSCI’s Asia ex-Japan stock index was firmer by 0.63%.
** The yuan was quoted at 7.0947 per U.S. dollar at 0823 GMT, 0.45% weaker than the previous close of 7.0629. (Reporting by Cheng Leng in Beijing, Luoyan Liu and Andrew Galbraith in Shanghai; Editing by Rashmi Aich)

Writer Georges Duroy (George Sanders) is one social-climbing S.O.B. who does most of his climbing over the warm (and cold) bodies of women. He begins with Rachel (Marie Wilson), a hanger-on in the cafes and Folies Bergere crowd, and then moves on to dally with Clotilde de Morelle (Angela Lansbury). Always striving to move upward on the social scale, he ditches her to marry Madeleine Forestier (Ann Dvorak). Now he gets on the fast track. He persuades Madame Walter (Katherine Emery), the wife of his publisher, to fall in love with him, and then compromises Madeleine to frame a divorce, so he can pursue Madame Walter's daughter, Suzanne (Susan Douglas, before somebody decided her later-married name was her most-often used screen name). He moves along so well that ere long he is in legal position to usurp the title of one of France's most noble houses. The moral, at the end, is it is okay to mess with French women, but triffling with French titles is going too far. Written by
Les Adams <firstname.lastname@example.org>
The movie is is faithful to the novel for about 3/4 of its running time. A handsome, amoral rake cuts his way through the vain, naive, foppish,self centered denizens of Parisian society in the 1880s He is not that smart, but he is shrewd enough to get the money and affection he craves. We don't know where his appetites came from. De Maupassant created him primarily to show the appalling psychological weaknesses of French upper class society "Prety Boy", as he is called, wins and wins big.
Well, the morals code of 1947 would not permit this. A scoundrel thriving is as bad was a naked woman on screen in the 1940s. You couldn't show it! Thus, the entire last section of this movie is made to comply with the code, and it plays out a story of how "Pretty Boy"'s primary victim thwarts his schemes and gets even. She gets even Big.
While I am happy to see the rat get his, this ending undermines the main point of the novel. It also doesn't fit the first three quarters. Characters suddenly behave differently than they did previously with no description of how and why they changed.
Still, it is a literate and intelligent movie. Not many of this kind of movie was made then, and even fewer are made today It is well played. George Sanders is the perfect cad. All the female actors do very well. Even since I first saw Ann Dvorak when I was six or seven, I have had a crush on her all these many decades, so it was good to see her.
Well worth the time for intelligent viewers...and those seniors who love Ann Dvorak!!

Mombasa, KENYA: The Kenya Revenue Authority on Tuesday moved to the court of appeal to challenge a decision rendered by the high court allowing an importing company to store 800,000 bags of brown sugar in a private warehouse.
Justice Erick Ogollah on 8th January directed Darasa Investment Limited to store 400,000 tonnes of sugar in J.B Maina warehouse located six kilometres from the Kenya Ports Authority.
But KRA has appealed the decision citing that the court has no power to declare where goods are supposd to be stored.
KRA lawyer Kennedy Ogotto said that it will require over 1500 tractors to transport the sugar from Port to the private warehouse.
Mr.Ogotto further said that the safety of sugar is not guaranteed at the private warehouse.
“My lordship and ladies we have suitable and safe warehouse at Kenya Ports Authority where all importers store goods and it is not clear why the judge disregarded the evidence by KRA,” said Ogotta.
But Darasa Investment Limited lawyer Fred Ngatia said that his client had identified a warehouse J.B Maina under customs control.
He further told the appellant court that his client chose J.B Maina warehouse for security reasons and insisted that KRA will still be in control of the sugar.
KRA has urged the Court not to allow the sugar which is still at sea, to be offloaded at a private warehouse.
Mr. Ogetto said that if the court of appeal allows imported sugar to be stored st s private warehouse, KRA is likely to loose sh. 2.5 billion worth of tax.
Darasa Investiment limited moved to court seeking court to bar KRA from imposing import tax of Ksh.2.5 billion on the sugar they imported from Brazil.
The government had bared tax for the importation of Sugar.
Court will rule on storage of Sugar imported on 1st February 2018.


text: The representation of patient information for use in clinical workstations is a complex problem. Ideally, it should be addressed in a way that allows multiple uses of the data, including simple manual review, sharing and pooling across institutions, and as input to knowledge-based decision support systems. To a great extent, this means coding information with controlled medical vocabularies, but it does not mean that all information must be codable before workstations are feasible. This paper defines some of the choices, both current and future, that are available to address the needs of controlled medical vocabularies for representing data and knowledge in clinical workstations and explores some of the implications of those choices. © 1994.

Rhea Mae Hubbel and her daughter Jean Copeland shared their 1930’s feed sack collection at the “Christmas in the Country” home tour 2017. Clothing, quilts and fabrics from feed sacks with a variety of prints provided displays at both the Olive Township Museum and the Ottawa Schoolhouse. The collection represented a time when frugal families repurposed sacks into clothing, curtains and quilts and numerous other ways to bring color and fashion to the home. It was a time when economic times called for people to be very resourceful.
“Christmas in the Country” home tour is the first weekend in December every year. The tour includes visiting beautifully decorated homes and the unique museum and historic schoolhouse filled with new exhibits each year.

The Light Possessed focuses on Ava Boldin, who begins her solitary and single-minded journey to become a great artist as a student at the Art Institute of Chicago in the years before World War I. Her life and art dramatically change when she meets and marries Albert Stigmar, a New York photographer and gallery owner nearly twice her age. Though he successfully promotes her work in an art world dominated by men, she is drawn to the desert Southwest where "it was as though a fire had broken out above the horizon in a sky made of paper, and it was consuming the very stuff of darkness." Ultimately she turns her back on the New York art establishment and embraces the landscape and light of New Mexico, where she seeks to nurture the intensity of her artistic vision at Blue Mesa.

These 15 Awesome Animals Were All Discovered In The Last Year
There are an estimated 7.77 million animal species on the planet -- and as of 2011, we'd discovered less than 12 percent of them. That's not to say biologists aren't keeping watchful eyes out for new animals -- here are 15 new animals discovered in the last year:
1. The High-Climbing Pallas' Cat
While researchers were looking to study snow leopards high in the Himalayas, they came across a domestic-sized wildcat. The cat has no local name, but the researchers believe it is a Pallas' cat, related to other small felines found in Central Asia.
The Blotched Boulder Frogs' habitat consists of a field of rocks in Cape Melville, Australia. It lives in the cool, wet depths of the boulders when the seasons are dry and "emerges on the surface rocks to feed and breed in the rain," according to the press release for the discovery expedition.
Unlike most mantises, these flat, broad bugs don't passively lie in wait for prey -- like insectoid wolves, these bark mantises chase down smaller animals. The discovery encompasses 19 new species of closely-related praying mantises, including Liturgusa algorei, named after environmentalist and former vice president Al Gore.
4. The Beautiful Jellyfish With "Ribbon-Like Gonads"
When a swarm of jellyfish appeared in the Gulf of Venice, "it was immediately clear that we were dealing with a previously undescribed species," writes biologist Stefano Piraino about the jellyfish Pelagia benovici. "The white horseshoe-shaped, ribbon-like gonads, the yellow-ochre color of the jellyfish umbrella, the pronounced warts on its surface and the long and delicate, transparent arms were distinctive elements."
5. The Spider That Does Cartwheels
The flic-flac spider gets its name from the cartwheeling flips it uses to evade predators in North African desert dunes. The spider is also the inspiration behind a robot that spins in similar maneuvers over the sand.
6. The Bird That Sings Like A Ventriloquist
The Sierra Madre ground warbler, a bird that lives in the Philippines, is a poor flier. But the bird doesn't have to worry about its song alerting predators. The calls are "extremely high in pitch, and ventriloquial -- it's almost impossible to locate the source of the sound in the forest," states University of Kansas biologist Pete Hosner.
7. The Rare River Dolphin
River dolphins are some of the scarcest cetaceans on the planet, and a new species of dolphin that lives in an isolated section of the Amazon basin is rare among even these. Called the Araguaian boto, this marine mammal is the first new dolphin to be identified since the Yangtze river dolphin was spotted in 1918.
8. The Whistling Owl
Scientists were listening in for other birds when they recorded the distinctive whistles of the Rinjani Scops owl, a small, golden-eyed owl that lives in Indonesia. "I am surprised that the true identity of this bird has remained hidden from the scientific world for so long," writes George Sangster, a researcher at the Swedish Museum of Natural History, in an email to the AP. "The Rihnjani Scops owl is quite common and can be found on various parts of the island. It is also very vocal, so it is hard to miss."
9. The Ugly Duckling Fish
This fish grows from a strange, spindly larva (inset) into a shimmering yellow-spotted golden bass. The spines might confuse predators by making the fish appear like a jellyfish, or give it the illusion of something too big to swallow, according to Science.
10. Another Ugly Fish
Unlike the yellow-spotted golden bass, the cedar sculpin spends its entire life as ugly fish. "The discovery of a new fish is something I never thought would happen in my career because it's very rare in the United States," Michael Young, a U.S. Forest Service fisheries biologist, tells Reuters.
11. The Frog That Dances
12. The Night-Dwelling Island Snake
This newly discovered nightsnake lives only on the island of Clairon, off the coast of Mexico. The dark brown Clarion nightsnake blends in with the black lava rock of its habitat, making it particularly difficult to spot -- one reason it's taken scientists so long to confirm the snake exists.
13. The Skin-Feeding Amphibian
Although these amphibians look like they would be at home burrowing through asteroids, scientists found these animals, called caecilians, living in the forests of French Guiana. The mothers are dedicated parents: once she lays her eggs, the caecilian curls around her brood until the babies hatch, when they'll feed harmlessly on the outer layers of her skin.
14. The Electric Fish From The Congo River
Ichthyologists caught these fish, which can generate weak electric pulses from their tails, swimming in the Congo River. Humans can't feel their tiny shocks, but the Petrocephalus boboto fish send pulses to communicate gender and identity, according to the scientists.
15. The Raccoon-Like Olinguito
The olinguito is a small, omnivorous mammal related to raccoons. For years, scientists had mistaken the olinguito for other animals, even mislabeling their skulls in museums. It wasn't until DNA analysis confirmed a biologist's suspicion that the reddish, raccoon-like critters were a completely new type of mammal.

AC Grayling: The Good BookBooks and Authors
- watch now
British philosopher and public intellectual AC Grayling is considered the "nice guy" amongst the world's leading "anti-religion" advocates ... less cool and clinical than Richard Dawkins and more polite than Christopher Hitchens. Now, the mild-mannered atheist author has created a secular Bible, distilling the wisdom of the great non-religious traditions as a guide for life.
When it comes to God, Grayling is doggedly opposed. But he doesn't put his book in the same league as Dawkins' "The God Delusion" and Hitchens' "God Is Not Great". It doesn't attack religion and is unfailingly optimistic, for one. But that doesn't mean it won't upset many Christians.
"The Good Book" is a manifesto for rational thought, but mirrors the Bible in both form and language. Grayling explains he has spent several decades on his ambitious project, distilling what he considers "the best that has been thought and said by people who've really experienced life, and thought about it".
His talk at the Sydney Writers Festival 2011 was introduced by Chip Rolley.
AC Grayling is an author, a United Nations human rights activist and professor of philosophy at Birkbeck College, University of London. He has been a regular contributor to many UK newspapers and a frequent and popular contributor to radio and television. Grayling is the author of thirty books including "Thinking of Answers", "Liberty in the Age of Terror", "Descartes", "Toward the Light of Liberty" and "Among The Dead Cities".
Chip Rolley is the Artistic Director of the Sydney Writers' Festival.

Over at Classically Liberal, they raise in interesting question that someone really ought to ask John McCain. As we all know by now, Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol has a 17-year old daughter who is pregnant by her 18-year old boy friend. I don’t see how this has anything to do with Palin’s qualifications for vice president.
But here’s the thing: In McCain’s home state of Arizona, the age of consent is 18, with no “romeo and juliet” exception for people near in age. If Bristol and her boyfriend had sex in Arizona, he would be guilty of a Class 6 felony, punishable by 1 to 2.25 years in prison. I think he would also have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
So the question for McCain is: Should Bristol’s boyfriend be sent to prison? Or is this part of Arizona’s criminal code a stupid idea? Unless I’ve misread the Arizona code, it pretty much has to be one of those, right?
To be fair, these laws are probably not enforced very often when the lovers are this close in age. But most states do enforce the drug laws. In a post at The Art of the Possible the lovely and talented Jennifer raises some issues about these laws that suggests a question for Barack Obama.
Obama has admitted to using both pot and cocaine, and it doesn’t seem to be hurting his chance of election. It certainly doesn’t bother me.
But here’s my question: Since you’ve been a legislator at the state and federal levels for several years without trying to repeal the laws against pot and cocaine, would our country have been better off if you’d been sent to prison when you were a teenager?
Of course, if Obama had been caught and sent to prison (like a lot of other young people) he probably never would have been allowed to rise up in his community and run for office.
As Jennifer points out, the moral principle at work here is very strange: Despite claims to the contrary, it’s okay to do drugs in your youth, and you can still become an important politician, as long as you never got caught.


During the years it took me to write England Adventure, my creative sessions often immersed me in books, websites, films, and photos that brought English culture alive to me even before I was blessed to visit in person. Among my favorite things to study was the British way of speaking—and when I heard it with my own ears in England, I was thrilled!
I tried my best to give my English characters authentic tongues. (An English reader was quite helpful, too, in that department.) Fortunately a lot of people are also intrigued by the differences between British English and American, so I’ve had good sources to point these differences out; I also gleaned from informal posts by Britons on forums, Tripadvisor, and blogs. Anyway, this is a sampling of words and expressions I’ve found use for in my story. Many of these you’re probably already familiar with:
From Gregory Endicott, the wry, yet caring host for the six cousins:
“Don’t go wishing too much or else you’re bound to bring rain down on the whole holiday.” [American equivalent: trip/vacation]
“Your parents are rightly concerned about things like banking accounts when it comes to that.” [This is subtle! American equivalent: bank accounts]
“These girls wanted to see what was on the telly in England,” Mr. Endicott explained when he saw us. “I told them it was all the same rubbish that’s anywhere in America, but you can tell who prevailed.”
“All the way on the pavement, if you please.” [American equivalent: sidewalk]
“I’ll be parking in a car park or two. We shall do lots of walking.” [Either a parking lot or a parking garage]
Mr. Endicott, answering no, he’d prefer a fizzy drink—a soda—also went out …
“It was brilliant.” [wonderful, awesome … I heard this a lot myself in England]
And my two favorites:
“Now, no turning off into sideshows and faffing about.” [dillydallying]
“I hadn’t the foggiest when you wanted to get into it.” [“Idea” is dropped off the end]
From Celia Parker, Mr. Endicott’s feisty sister:
“I don’t see the point in standing out here in the drive, with all the neighbors looking on. Come inside; is that all you’ve got?” [Drive: driveway. In England, I heard people saying “I’ve got” or “you’ve got” all the time instead of plain “I have” or “you have.”]
“I tell you it was never more tempting to order takeaway than tonight.” [They never seem to say “takeout,” which is what I’m used to; it’s always “takeaway.”
“All of you just wash your hands in the loo, not the kitchen, and come back to the dining room.”
And one more … this one is special to me, because it was the first Briticism my ears picked up on once we arrived in London:
“Haven’t had enough of English accents, yeah?” [Chelsea, a teenage friend of the Endicotts’ granddaughter Paris, said this; it replaces the American “huh” or “right?”] As for when I heard it, when we first emerged into Central London from Victoria train station, we were turned around and couldn’t figure out where we were on our map to get to our hotel. A super nice, older man noticed we were lost, so he kindly looked at our map with us and pointed out the way we should take. While he explained the directions, he said something like, “We're on Victoria Street, yeah?” The fact that I heard him say that, a legitimate British man in legitimate London, stuck in my memory far longer than the directions did.
Now how about a fun read on what Britons think is … unusual about Americans? This is from Joy Clarkson's blog, an American who is enrolled at Oxford.
Do you enjoy British expressions? Do you have a favorite?
Oh! And just a housekeeping survey ... do you like this font better than my other? Easier to read, nicer looking, etc.?

Councilman Paul Taylor says the argument today wasn’t over if we need the new schools.
“My vote was a ‘no’ vote because I just don’t think we’re doing this in the right way that was responsible for the taxpayers,” Taylor said.
Other businesses in the community have offered to help pay for the new schools. West Tennessee Healthcare has agreed to invest $2.1 million over the next seven years.
The Auxiliary Foundation at the University of Memphis has agreed to give almost $1 million over the next four years. And the Community Redevelopment Agency will give 75% of its TIF growth in the city over the next seven years.
“We have to let the projects speak for themselves,” said Mayor Scott Conger. “No matter what we do, no matter what route we take, there are going to be people that think it’s not the best idea. That’s the beauty of the country we live in, everybody has their opinion.”
With today’s vote, the partnership now moves to the closing date set for March 31 and then groundbreakings can begin.
Additionally, an amendment was added to today’s vote. The city will hire a professional owner representative to oversee the project and give monthly updates to the city council.

The hearings in the House focusing on the industry's plight came as Republican senators proposed a compromise plan to draw $25 billion from loans for ...

Exactly one month after announcing the Edge 40 Pro, Motorola is introducing a more affordable, non-Pro variant called the Motorola Edge 40. It’s available in Europe starting today for €599.99 (£529.99, about $664), €300 less than the €899.99 (about $995) Edge 40 Pro. Motorola’s press release doesn’t mention a US release for the Edge 40, but given that the Edge 40 Pro was announced for the US market just two days ago as the Motorola Edge Plus (2023), it feels like there’s a chance the non-Pro is brother or sister following a similar path.
As you’d expect, the Edge 40 has slightly lowered specs across the board compared to the Pro. The 1080p OLED display is slightly smaller at 6.55in versus 6.67in, and it also has a lower refresh rate of 144Hz compared to 165Hz, but you probably won’t notice that in practice. The Edge 40 is also powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8020 processor rather than the Pro’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and a slightly smaller 4,400mAh battery.
Following the lead of most other smartphone brands, the non-Pro Edge 40 also drops the third telephoto camera from its pricier sibling, and what remains is a lower resolution too. The Edge 40 has a 50-megapixel main camera with optical image stabilization, a 13-megapixel ultrawide with a macro mode and a 120-degree field of view, and a 32-megapixel selfie camera.
Elsewhere, the Edge 40 has retained some nice features. Sure, the fast charging is almost half that of the European Pro model, but it’s still a speedy 68W that offers up to 12 hours of battery life from a 10-minute charge. There’s also an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, up to 15W wireless charging, and dual stereo speakers. Available colors include acrylic blue and vegan leather green or black.
The Motorola Edge 40 can be ordered in Europe from today.

In 2016, Kaylie Hill quit her job to launch a cleaning business in Orange County, California.
In 2022, she booked $150,000 in revenue and surpassed 1 million TikTok followers.
Here are her best tips for launching a cleaning business and generating multiple income streams.
See more stories on Insider’s business page.
Kaylie Hill always knew her business would become successful. It was just a matter of when.
In 2016, Hill started Neat and Clean, a home-cleaning and organizing business based in Orange County, California. Since then, she’s generated a loyal customer base and earned nearly $150,000 in revenue last year from a mix of cleaning clients and social media income, according to documents verified by Insider.
Part of her success stems from her TikTok account, where more than 1 million followers watch her organize client homes, learn cleaning tips, and get advice on launching their own cleaning startup through her digital-training program Tidycademy.
Her business guidance comes at a crucial time for women, who lost more jobs than men during the pandemic. What’s more, they’re moving to gig work in record numbers: Women represent 46% of the independent-contracting workforce as of 2021, a 13% increase from 2017, according to the policy group the American Action Forum.
Additionally, work-when-you-can schedules and the ability to change jobs based on COVID-19 restrictions make gig work appealing for women, according to Axios.
Despite the pandemic closing many businesses, Hill says the cleaning industry has “proven to be pandemic-proof” as her startup has become more profitable each year since its founding.
Here are Hill’s three steps for building a cleaning business, using TikTok to grow your customer base, and teaching a new class of entrepreneurs.
Set the right price based on market research
Hill originally went to school for orthodontics and held other jobs in administration but didn’t want to “sit in a cube all day, writing emails and entering data,” she said. She quit her job, launched Neat and Clean (now called Tidycademy), and promoted the business through paper flyers and free listings on Craigslist. However, she’s since transitioned to TikTok as her primary mode of marketing and brand building.
For entrepreneurs looking to launch their own cleaning business, Hill emphasized the importance of using market research to determine your prices. She charges clients between $40 and $50 per hour and encourages other cleaners …read more

Journey is in These Lists
In addition to the similar games listed above, which have been linked to this game specifically in the database, you may find games with a similar theme to Journey in the following lists:
Video games are known for high-octane, adrenaline-fuelled entertainment, but there are many that address the player’s emotions as much as their dexterity. Often overlooked by younger or more competitive players, these experiences can provide a helpful variety in the diet of games your family enjoys.
The games selected below create emotionally rich spaces in which to explore scenarios with feelings rather than facts. In some games this is achieved with beautiful or soothing interactive visuals; others create charged relationships and settings that invite players to take a role in processing these emotions.
These games offer ways to consciously step outside the day's stresses and pressures to create space for self-care. This may be to distract yourself with calming unpressured tasks or to visit a world that is tranquil and relaxing or maybe just spend time reflecting on your emotions in a safe space.
PlayStation Now is a subscription service that provides hundreds of PS2, PS3 and PS4 games to play on demand. The games are streamed to your PS4, or Windows PC like a Netflix film but with interactions. Because of this you need a fast internet connection of about 5Mbps. Additionally, PlayStation Now also lets you download some PlayStation 4 games to play locally on your system without streaming.
PlayStation Now costs £8.99/month
is the other subscription service and is required for most online games. It also offers discounted and a two free games each month. It also grants discounts on games, add-ons and pre-orders. PlayStation Plus also enables you to backup your progress to the cloud.
PlayStation Plus costs £6.99/month
With PlayStation Plus you can also share your games in more ways with friends and family:
Screen Share – Let's someone in another place watch your game on their PlayStation. PlayStation Plus is not required for either party
Pass the Controller – Let's someone in another place take turns on a game you own, without owning the game themselves. PlayStation Plus is required for the host, but not for the guest
Playing Together – Let's you play local co-op or split screen games with someone in another place who has a PlayStation. PlayStation Plus is required for both players
In this list, provided by the LTN
(Love Thy Nerd) editors, we bring together video games that have the potential to offer more than entertainment. It starts with 12 with a challenge us to be a good neighbour, and follows with others added over time. LTN exists to be the love of Jesus to nerds and nerd culture, you can read more about them on their website
"What if video games have more to offer than just an exciting diversion into a digital battlefield, fantasy war, or alien invasion? While these types of games are certainly the loudest and most financially successful, there are a growing number of games asking important questions about life, the human condition, and even God."
"Our list is not 'Christian' games, but rather a list of games that pose important spiritual questions to those who play them. These are games that provide us with the opportunity to consider what a truly 'spiritual' life looks like by encouraging us to have empathy for the suffering, love for our neighbours and our enemies, and an imagination vivid enough to contemplate a better world."Journey's
understated yet deep mythology, lack of guidance and mysterious ways it brings players together will have players thinking about the course of their own lives. Dropsy
is, on the surface, a silly point-and-click adventure game about a creepy but misunderstood clown, dig deeper and you’ll see this a game that challenges players to love everyone, even their enemies. Kentucky Route Zero
is at its core, about rediscovery, of adventure-game mechanics and modernist aesthetics, of a more spiritual outlook on the physical world.Gris
is a platformer about the stages of grief that highlights the indelible impact of our most sacred relationships. That Dragon, Cancer
is a game where Ryan and Amy Green share their grief and their hope by drawing us not only into their lives but into the common grace of the Christian faith. Myst
, one of the best selling titles of all time, is a puzzle game about the beauty and mystery of creation. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
is a game about the spiritual impact our most precious relationships have on us. Wandersong
is a game about transforming the world with music. Heroism isn’t measured in bulk or recognition but in the melodic tones of compassion and kindness. The Last Guardian
confronts us with our own self-centeredness and challenges us to give rather than merely take.Pyre
is a game about mercy that deconstructs player’s perceptions of winning and losing, encouraging them to see and meet the needs of those who are oppressed. My Child Lebensborn
is a game that challenges players to care for a child born into a fascist regime--this is a game about the power of empathy. Celeste
strikes at the centre of what it means to be a person in all of our messy humanity a wonderful reminder that even when we fall, we are lifted up again through redemptive love, forgiveness, and grace—both for ourselves and for one another.
While a significant portion of video games focus on combat and competition, these titles offer a less aggressive way to progress and win. None of these games enable or require the player to cause harm to another living thing -- even Mario's merciless campaign to stomp on every Goomba he meets bars him from this list. Or then there's catching and selling fish in Animal Crossing that rule that one out.
Many of them are aimed at children and families, but you'll be surprised how many explore deeper, more mature themes in their narratives, or require just as much skill as a fast-paced first-person shooter. This means there's plenty of offer for parents who might lack the reflexes (or interest) to survive a round of Fortnite.
We've focused on the games you might not expect to be played non-violently here, but you can find the full list at Non-Violent Games Of the Day
curated by James Batchelor.
The games in this list have been the subject of a series of articles I have written about video games and faith. Firstly, from 2013-2015 for ThirdWay
magazine, and more recently for Youth and Children's Work
These are two publications for Christian audiences, that have invited me to shed light on what a range of video games might mean for those communities. I aim to make connections with faith, the bible and the experience of these video games. This is one way to interpret them which of course invites further and possibly counter interpretations from other perspectives.

There are many reasons, stages of life and circumstances that can leave us feeling isolated and lonely (and of course at the moment this is intensified with the virus lockdown). Being unable to be in the same place as loved ones. Not understanding the modern world. Barriers of mobility or impairments. Social anxiety and other mental health issues.
Video games are one way that we can reconnect with each other, without needing to be in the same place. Finding games to play online with grandparents and carers is not only a good way to keep in touch but a lot of fun.
The games on this page are part of the PLAY&TALK Weekend
, which has launched in time for National Loneliness Awareness Week, aims to reduce feelings of isolation by getting people to talk with friends or family safely online. Backed by over 30 companies in the games industry, the Play&Talk weekend hopes to initiate 10,000 extra conversations across the UK through the power of games.
Co-operative: Some of the games are good ways to connect and play co-operatively online (like Feather, Overcooked 2, Ibb and Obb, Skylanders Children of Light).
Competitive: With some practice there are easy and fun online competitive games (like Tricky Towers, Videoball)
Asynchronous: Other games are a way to connect and play without being online at the same time (like Horizon Chase Turbo, Worms, Words With Friends, Wargroove, Animal Crossing).
Community: Then there are games that connect you with a wider player community in a gentle non-invasive way (like The First Tree, Journey, Lost Words, The Endless Forrest).
All the games have been select to be easy to play for new gamers and many of them have been used in a broad range of cultural settings, being incorporated into Cathedral services, arts festivals, well-being retreats and educational contexts.
One of the most exciting aspects of modern video games is playing with other people online. It's a big step from playing something like Mario Kart
with family and friends in the same room to going online to play with people you don't know.
The games in this list offer small steps to go from local play to online play. Some games, like Roblox
are designed for young players with lots of special safety settings. Other games, like Sky
, are designed to lead players into co-operating with each other with in-game purchases you give away, and interactions that start limited and expand as you gain experience. Then there are co-operative games like Ibb and Obb
where you work together and communicate with gestures on the screen.
You can use Family Settings and Parental Controls on your system to limit how your child interacts with other players online. As well as finding the right games to get them started, it's also important that you play with them and keep game screens in shared family spaces so you can see what they are doing.
Video games create spaces for us to go and play. These spaces are sometimes an escape from the real world. Equally, games can help us revel and celebrate the real world.
Inspired by an article
written by Keith Stuart about autumnal games, this is a list of games that are played while the leaves are falling.
These games offer, rather than escapism, unique ways to appreciate the season we are living in. They are an exercise in the present moment, where we find writ large, the joys of harvesting apples, warm fires, crisp walks and the breathing in before the long dark of winter.
The spaces and places that video games create are often designed with a particular interaction or way to progress through them. However, because games are open to the player, how you play, the direction you move and what you do in the game is up to you.
This means that you can often put video games to unusual uses. Photography is one aspect of this as Paul Buttle recently highlight on Twitter
. All modern video game consoles enable you to capture an image of the screen. At a rudimentary level this allows you to take pictures of your adventures. Beyond this, many games offer a Photo mode that allows you to freeze the action and take control of the camera -- even letting you control effects, depth of field and shutter speed in some cases.
This means you can take really beautiful and engaging pictures in the games you play. Some families have tasked their expert players with capturing a certain type of photograph as they play:
Portraiture - capture images of the people you meet.
Photojournalism - create a photo diary of the events of the game to be annotated later.
Fashion - document the different outfits and wardrobe styles your character chooses.
Sports - capture sporting moments, including not only players, but the crowd and coaches.
Still Life - capture the inanimate, mundane and overlooked elements that make the game world what it is.
Architectural - find ways to photograph the buildings in various states of build, decay and renewal.
Some examples of these projects include:

An anthropologist details excavations in Sudan expose Nubian culture and the change Egyptian. In a middle class tomb east of the a River in that which was Nubia, a lady provides a view of two met cultures met, a new pharaonic dynasty along with mingled arose. She was buried within the Nubian type — put into a flexed position on her part, although her grave was Egyptian and sleeping on the bed.
From a tomb in Tombos
The Nubian girl is, based on a teacher of archaeology, a perfect example of “social entanglement,” the procedure through which colonizing forces and changeover time and local people affect each other.
In a document published in American Anthropologist, individual discover change and social identity within the historic town of Tombos in what’s northern Sudan.
“you receive this really exciting knotted tradition mixing different facets in truly various ways, but additionally there appears to be lots of personal choice. It isn’t only a matter of both countries mash-up after which you receive this new hybrid thing that is constant.
Earlier fieldwork in the website was backed by Geographic Society, private donations etc. Their excavations are focused in plots from the Third Intermediate Period as well as the New Kingdom.
They ready to determine natural associations by testing craniofacial characteristics and mixing between Egyptians and Nubians at Tombos. It have already been able to patch together an interval of moving social identities that resulted in the Nubian cure of Egypt as well as the Dynasty of Egypt by examining articles of the plots, funeral practices and skeletons. The change was complete the Nubians offered themselves as culturally authentic Silk compared to rulers they overthrew.
The plots of Tombos demonstrate that as opposed to the Egyptians just imposing their will about the Nubians, that will be called “the previous design,” social entanglement was an infinitely more powerful force shaping both countries. Intermarriage and cultural pluralism in northeastern Nubia gave rise to the growth of the Nubian pharaohs as well as a new personality.
The settlers originating from Egypt who become residents with time, as well as the area people, are operating the flight of the world around bigger procedures of these emerging pharaohs northeastern Egypt or, afterwards. That covers perfectly using the local population. It isn’t simply Egypt imprinting Nubia with their lifestyle; the neighborhood individuals making it feasible for the Nubians to ultimately rule Egypt and are truly affecting issues.”
