BATON ROUGE - A controversial bill that restructures how the East Baton Rouge School System operates is one step closer to becoming law. It passed the Senate already, and Tuesday it passed out of the House Education Committee.
"It's an attempt to try to give more control back to schools and back to communities," said Sen. Bodi White (R-Central), who authored the bill.
White presided over his contentious bill, flanked on both sides by heads of law enforcement who support him in East Baton Rouge Parish.
"I do not see it as adversarial, although some may," said District Attorney Hillar Moore. "I just want a better outcome for our kids."
The bill is pitched as a way to improve educational outcomes in the parish. The sheriff and district attorney said that better educated citizens means less crime.
"There is a direct correlation to crime and a lack of education," said Sheriff Sid Gautreaux.
Not everyone agreed with the bill, that would shift power from the superintendent and give it to principals at their schools. They would be in charge of their own budget, plus daily operations like food service and transportation.
"You're giving them the same equal authority as the superintendent in a school," said Pat Smith (D-Baton Rouge). "Not having anyone over them to determine if they worked within the laws, budgets."
Rep. Alfred Williams said the bill lacks information on how it will improve student achievement or discipline, two problems that plague the current school system.
"I also want you to show me in this bill where discipline is addressed," Williams said. Those are the two most important issues in EBR."
The East Baton Rouge School System attorney called the bill unconstitutional. The bill passed on a vote of 10-6.
The full house will now vote on it. It has already passed the Senate.

Since writing a blog on the connection between suffering of the individual and artistic creativity, I have reflected on writers, artists and composers that I have studied and taken into the classroom in my 50 years as a teacher in the History department at the University at Albany.
Jane Austen was 36 when she published her first novel, “Sense and Sensibility,” in 1811. She had written an early version of the novel in 1795. In fact, she wrote early versions of her first three novels between the age of 20 and 25, and all were published years later, after she rewrote them. In the long hiatus between her early writing and her published novels, Austen began a novel that she never finished, “The Watsons,” which is about the difficulties a genteel young lady experienced as she played the courting game. This was a game whose obstacles Austen knew well; she never married.
Austen’s letters bristle with frustration and anger as she made the difficult transition from eligible female to spinsterhood. She wrote all of her novels after she came out of a lengthy period of emotional hardship. All six of her novels were published between 1811 and 1817.
Austen began a new novel in 1811, “Mansfield Park,” the first to be written in its entirety after she wrote her way out of depression. Religion is a central theme in this novel. The heroine becomes the wife of a country vicar at the end of the novel.
Austen’s letters reveal a more serious attitude toward religion. They suggest uneasiness over the eruptions of anger that come through strikingly in letters that she wrote to her sister, sometimes after attending dances where eligible girls mingled with eligible young men at assembly hall dances. “I do not think I was very much in request,” she said after attending a dance. She described people she had observed after attending another dance: A Mrs. Blount “appeared exactly as she did in September, with the same broad face, diamond bandeau, white shoes, pink husband, and fat neck.” Two sisters at the dance had “bad breath.” A husband was “ugly enough, uglier than his cousin.” Attending another dance, a “stupid party,” she observed a Miss Langley, who was “like any other short girl with a broad nose and wide mouth, fashionable dress, and exposed bosom.” Admiral Stanhope was “a gentlemanlike Man, but then his legs are too short, and his tail too long.” At the end of this letter, Austen wrote that “I cannot anyhow continue to find people agreeable.”
The Austen who wrote six novels that are among the finest in all of English literature reconciled herself to her station in life, that of a spinster who lived with the members of her family. She underwent an emotional sea-change; she experienced what may be seen as a religious conversion, which her letters and novels, particularly “Mansfield Park,” give testimony.
Her last novel, “Persuasion,” published posthumously, is about a heroine who had refused a marriage proposal when she was in her late teens. She withered emotionally after the refusal. She met the same suitor years later; he was now a naval hero and much sought after and pursued by two female characters in the novel, In the end, he and the heroine, Anne Elliot come together in a Cinderella ending. This novel can be seen as an exercise in wish-fulfillment. It was written by a Jane Austen who overcame extreme emotional hardship.
For me there is no more perfect heroine in any novel than Anne Elliot.

In Spatial Data Infrastructure or Cyber Infrastructure, the description of geographic data semantics is intended to support data discovery, reuse and integration. In the vast majority of cases the producers of these data generate descriptions based on particular understandings of what uses the data are good for. This producer-oriented perspective means that the descriptions often do not help to answer the question of whether a data set is of use for a consumer who might want to apply it in a different context. In this paper, we discuss the role geographic information observatories can play in providing an infrastructure for observing the context of data use by consumers. These observations of data pragmatics lead to operational statistical methods that will support better fitness-for-use assessment. Finally, we highlight some of the challenges to building these observatories, and briefly discuss strategies to address those challenges.

Termites can make special sounds ad vibrations while moving and feeding. Sometimes vibrations in the wood can be heard by householders. In order to check termite activity acoustic emission devices can be used.
These devices can “hear” the noise 80 centimeters along the length and 8 centimeters to the deep and record it. The only problem is that acoustic emission device is huge and is difficult to hold.

In the last couple of weeks, a few users have asked, “What is an OBD-II adapter, and why do I need one?” And we’re glad they did, because we think it’s important everyone know a little more about the history and use of this monumental, game changing device. Don’t you?
Volkswagen kicked things off in 1968 when they introduced an on-board computer system in all fuel-injected type 3 car models. Soon other car manufacturers began to follow suit, including General Motors and Nissan. However diagnostic data from these systems were highly unreliable since each manufacturer had introduced their own set of standards. In an attempt to combat the problem, the OBD-I device was developed in 1987 as well as a proposed set of standards from the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), followed by an OBD-II device in 1994.
In 1991, California passes a law requiring all new vehicles to have basic OBD capabilities and then in 1994, the United States government passes a law that required all 1996 or newer vehicle models to come equipped with a standard diagnostic connector (DLC) to communicate with the Electronic Control Unit (ECU), also known as the cars computer.
What can we learn from these standard OBD-II devices? We’re glad you asked. An OBD-II device grants us access to a vehicle’s insider information, like fuel economy, emission statuses, VIN, and even help detect future problems. This automotive device is key to transforming your vehicle into a sought after connected car, without ever stepping into the dealership.
Previously only mechanics had access to scanning tools required to read and understand diagnostic codes, but rapidly developing technologies like affordable Bluetooth scanners and the Clutch Optimized Driving app, now allow consumers the same capabilities. And if you’re having problems locating the port, it’s typically located behind the dashboard, above the brake pedal.


If you own a Dodge Caravan from 2009 and want to replace the tires, you’re probably wondering what type of tire would be best for your vehicle. Buying the right tires for your car is an important decision, as the tires you choose can affect your car’s performance, fuel efficiency, and safety on the roads. In this article, we’ll discuss the different types of tires available for the Dodge Caravan from 2009, as well as provide some tips for choosing the right tires for your car.
Types of Tires for a Dodge Caravan 2009
The Dodge Caravan 2009 typically uses all-season tires. All-season tires offer good performance in dry and wet conditions, and they also provide good traction in light snow. However, they may not be the best option if you live in an area with heavy snowfall during the winter months. In that case, you may want to consider winter tires, which offer better traction on snow and ice-covered roads.
If you’re looking for a performance tire, you may want to consider high-performance or ultra-high-performance tires. These tires provide better handling and responsiveness, as well as improved traction in both wet and dry conditions. However, they tend to be more expensive and may not last as long as regular all-season tires.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Tires
In addition to selecting the right type of tire for your car, there are several other factors you’ll need to consider when choosing tires for your Dodge Caravan 2009. These include tire size, tread pattern, and speed rating. It’s important to get tires that are the correct size for your vehicle, as the wrong size can affect the car’s performance and may even cause damage to the car.
The tread pattern can also affect the car’s performance, as different tread patterns provide better traction in different conditions. For example, all-season tires typically have a symmetric tread pattern, while off-road tires typically have an asymmetric tread pattern. Lastly, the speed rating of the tire indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can be safely driven.
Tips for Choosing Tires
When choosing tires for your Dodge Caravan 2009, it’s important to do your research. Make sure you know the size, speed rating, and tread pattern that are best for your car. You should also consider factors such as price, brand, and warranty. Additionally, it’s a good idea to read reviews from other customers to get an idea of how the tires perform in real-world conditions. Lastly, make sure you buy your tires from a reputable dealer.
Choosing the right tires for your Dodge Caravan 2009 can be a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. By taking the time to do your research and choose the right type of tire for your car, you can ensure that your car performs at its best and is safe on the roads. With the right tires, your car will be ready for any adventure you take it on.

Do we need biomarkers for the follow-up and shortening of antibiotic treatment duration?
Curr Opin Crit Care. 2018 Aug 16;:
Authors: Dianti M, Luna CM
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Clinical and laboratory parameters are useful tools for the diagnosis, follow-up and evaluation of resolution, and to predict outcomes when measured at different time-points onset and serially during follow-up in patients with hospital-acquired pneumonia and/or ventilator-associated pneumonia (HAP/VAP).
RECENT FINDINGS: Both, the 2017 ERS/ESICM/ESCMID/Asociación Latino Americana de Tórax (EEEAG) and the 2016 IDSA/ATS guidelines (IAG) for the management of HAP/VAP recommend using clinical criteria alone, rather than biomarkers for diagnosis. Several studies were conducted to assess the value of serum biomarker concentration and kinetics for predicting the outcome in HAP/VAP, including C-reactive protein and procalcitonin (PCT). Although the EEEAG do not recommend routinely performing biomarker determinations in addition to bedside clinical assessment in patients receiving antibiotic treatment for VAP or HAP to predict adverse outcomes and clinical response, the IAG recommend that routine bedside clinical assessment should be accompanied by measurements of PCT to guide antimicrobial therapy. Additionally, the 2016 Surviving Sepsis Campaign also suggests that PCT levels can be used to support the shortening of antibiotic therapy.
SUMMARY: Current evidence indicate that there is no recommendation to use biomarkers systematically to guide every decision. However, in some circumstances they might add some relevant information to our everyday practice.

Anyway, how is Jack presented in Lord of the Flies?
Jack is probably the main antagonist (besides human nature) in William Golding’s 1957 novel Lord of the Flies, whose plot centers around a group of boys stranded on an island, and their descent into savagery.
Right from his presentation he is presented as something of an antithesis to the book’s main protagonist, Ralph. He insists on being known by his last name in (going off his “kids’ names” remark) what is clearly meant to present him as having a superiority complex, although he soon relents. He is also presented as being markedly different in physique to Ralph, their faces in particular: Ralph had “a mildness about his mouth and eyes that proclaimed no devil”, yet Jack’s face “was ugly, without silliness” (immediately presenting him in a negative light), and his “light blue eyes” were “turning, or ready to turn, to anger”. At this stage, it is also worth noting that the choir is “wearily obedient” and he seems to wield total control over them. He, as “the most obvious leader”, also attempts to seize control undemocratically (“I ought to be leader”), presenting him as a possible dictator at even this early stage. He also shows a strong dislike of Piggy (who is intended to be a symbol of civilization, and is essentially golding’s mouthpiece character). Despite this, the violence (not to be confused with his cruelty towards the weak shown in his actions towards Piggy) that marks him out particularly is only exhibited after his earlier inability to face “the unbearable blood” and the enormity of killing, and when exploring with Ralph and Simon he seems to act like a protagonist in books like The Coral Island (from which he takes his name, the book is also referred to by name on a few occasions - Lord of the Flies was in part a response to it) - “This is proper exploring”.
By chapter 3, Jack is already shown to be succumbing to the allure of savagery, with a “compulsion to track down and kill” “swallowing him up”, and him being reduced to “running, dog-like, on all fours” by this. Golding presents this as “madness”, outright stating it to be such in the narrative (which appears to be not from any character’s perspective). This aspect is furthered by him becoming “the mask” in Chapter 4, which ‘liberates’ him “from shame and self consciousness”, fully confirming his conversion towards a focus on the “brilliant world of hunting exhilaration and tactics” as opposed to “the world of longing and baffled commonsense”. This presentation is furthered by him letting “the bloody fire out” through his desire, showing how his savagery is getting the better of civilization due to the lack of a true authority beyond the symbol of the conch. His violent, dictatorial, side is shown once more in his use of the chant (“Kill the pig! Cut her throat! Spill her blood!”) and him whacking Piggy, breaking one lense in his glasses. A degree of cruelty, but cunning, is shown in his ‘apology’ (a “verbal trick”), and the very fact it’s directed at Ralph shows that he’s already starting to see his leadership as invalid.
This strain is later shown in him disparaging the conch in chapter 6, instead suggesting that the bigguns form a sort of cabal to decide things “We don’t need the conch any more... it’s time some people knew they’ve got to keep quiet and leave deciding things to the rest of us”, and earlier showing that he doesn’t care about the littluns at all (“Sucks to the littluns”), also showing a lack of compassion. Yet, at the same time, his own childishness shows up but a few pages later, his immediate response to Castle Rock being “What a place for a fort”, although the nature of this observation is also an early sign of the warmongering tendencies which would become so major later on.
Jack’s desire to gain control, and hypocritical tendencies in his attempts to do this, come to a head in Chapter 8 in which he tries to take control of the group (“Hands up... whoever wants Ralph not to be chief”) after disparaging Ralph for being “ a coward” in the face of the Beast (which, at this moment, he is presented as believing in, and responded to in the same way), only to fail humiliatingly, his childishness showing once again in his declaration that he isn’t “going to play any longer” and him outright crying in humiliation. This leads to the split and the clear presentation of the difference between his and Ralph’s leadership styles, the savagery of his becoming evident in the spearing of the sow, and desecration of Simon’s eden in order to put the eponymous Lord of the Flies (the pig’s head) in place.
By chapter 9, he has become “decorated and garlanded like an idol”, similar to the cult of personality that many dictators around the time Golding wrote the book had had (and still do have). He also seems to be the catalyst for the descent of all those present at the feast into savagery through forcing them to do the “dance”, leading directly to Simon’s death (although he later maintains (probably knowingly falsely (albeit possibly hidden to himself through some form of doublethink)) that the Simon they killed was in fact a guise of the beast).
Come Chapter 10, he is the Chief, and is hinted to be something of a fascist bully, having one kid beat up for nothing. His desire for control extends to stealing the fire (rather than asking, in part to show that “we’re strong, we hunt”), and ultimately forcing everyone but Ralph and Piggy (who he doesn’t like (since he’s the bad guy and they’re Golding’s mouthpieces mostly, although Piggy’s outsiderness is something else as well) and the littluns (who he simply doesn’t count) to join his tribe, using implied torture. His “full intent” to kill Ralph is presented, he is a “terror” (“but Roger” is implied to be worse), and his tribe are presented as nothing but “painted savages”, in contrast to the nice britishness of Ralph and Piggy (“Is it better...”).
In conclusion, Jack is presented wholly as Ralph's antithesis and is a representative of savagery, dictatorship and anarchy (these are all contradictory ideas, but he still somehow manages to be all 3). However, this said, perhaps the last time he is referred to is meant to be what he really is being presented as, nothing more than “a little boy” (mainly because it appears Golding thinks little boys are, in fact, naturally “terrors” and would regress to being such if left alone for too long).
Choose a novel in which an important theme is explored. Explain how the author develops this theme throughout the novel.
The Lord of the Flies by William Golding is a novel in which the theme of savagery versus civilisation is explored. Some British boys are stranded on an isolated island at the time of an imaginary nuclear war. On the island we see conflict between two main characters, Jack and Ralph, who respectively represent civilisation and savagery. This has an effect on the rest of the boys throughout the novel as they delve further and further into savagery.
The theme of savagery versus civilisation is first introduced to us through the symbol of the conch shell which we associate with Ralph as he is the person who first uses it and becomes the elected leader of the boys. This symbolises authority amongst the boys. At the first assembly Ralph says “I’ll give the conch to the next person to speak…he won’t be interrupted”. This suggests civilisation as Ralph is allowing each boy to have an equal say and opinion. If they have the conch, no matter who they are or what age they are they will be given the chance to speak and will be listened to by the rest of the boys. The boys have created the island to be a democratic place which shows a civilised side to them as they try to mimic the homes they have just left.
Contrasting with the symbol of the conch is the symbol of the beast which comes to be associated with Jack as by the end of the novel he is almost devil worshipping it. The beast begins as a “snake thing” but by the end of the novel it has become “the Lord of the Flies”. The first quote shows us that the beast is clearly evil. Western society considers snakes to be bad omens because it was a snake that led Eve to eat from the tree of knowledge. However at this stage of the novel the beast is quite insubstantial as it is only a “thing”. As the boys fear of the beast grows so to does the beast itself until it has manifested into the devil – the ultimate and most powerful evil. He has a strong status as a Lord although it is over something pretty disgusting – the flies. The boys belief in the beast leads them to behave more like savages as they act out from their fear and they begin to loose hold of the rules, led by Jack, thus demonstrating the theme of savagery.
One of ways Golding shows conflict between savagery and civilisation is when Jack and some of the other boys are killing the first pig. Jack chants “kill the pig, cut her throat, spill the blood”. This suggests savagery as the boys are being violent and aggressive when killing the pig and they don’t care about it. This is particularly clear through Golding’s word choice. Jack talks about cutting the pig’s throat which makes it sound like a savage action and spilling her blood which reinforces the lack of care and feeling shown towards the pug’s carcass. This shows that the boys are no longer feeling guilty about what they have done thus showing them becoming savages.
We can see the conflict between savagery and civilisation developing further when Piggy’s glasses are broken. We are told “Piggy cried out in terror ‘my specs!” This shows us that the boys savage natures are beginning to overule their more civilised sides. At the start of the book Jack would never have dared touch Piggy, but here he actually snaps and goes for Piggy who he despises. We can tell that Piggy is really scared as Golding chooses the words “cried” and “terror” to describe the scene. Piggy sounds like he is hurting and is genuinely terrified about what Jack might do to him and the loss of his sight. Piggy’s glasses have also come to represent intelligence on the island, with them breaking we see that the pathway to savagery is now completely open for the boys. This is the first true piece of violence between the two factions on the island and it will result in nearly all the boys becoming savages.
A final way in which we see the theme of savagery versus civilisation being demonstrated is when Ralph sticks up for Piggy after he is attacked by Jack. Ralph says “that was a dirty trick”. This shows that Ralph is really angry at Jack for what he said and did to Piggy. He is still attempting to impose himself as leader here as he says this in an aggressive and assertive tone. This suggests there is still some glimmers of civilisation on the island at this point as there is still someone with a sense of moral goodness ready to fight for justice.
In conclusion The Lord of the Flies by William Golding is a novel in which the theme of savagery versus civilisation is shown. Ralph represents civilisation as he wants to enforce rules and let everyone have an equal say. Whereas Jack who represents savagery as he rules over the boys and he is not interested in what they have to say. Through the boys actions Golding shows us that we need rules and to consciously impose them to make sure society functions properly.

The U.S. Army Future Vertical Lift Cross-Functional Team on March 25, 2020 selected the two competitors for the second phase of the Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA) program: the Bell 360 Invictus and the Sikorsky Raider X. As you may already know, FARA is intended to fill the capability gap left by the retirement of the Bell OH-58D Kiowa Warrior with initial fielding of the new helicopter by 2028.
As noted in the official statement, the program is structured into three phases: preliminary design; detailed design, build, and test; and prototype completion assessment and evaluation for entrance into production phase. The first phase saw the preliminary design of five candidates presented by Bell, Sikorsky, Boeing, AVX Aircraft/L3 Harris and Karem Aircraft. The U.S. Army selected Bell's and Sikorsky's proposals after an initial design and risk assessment, granting them contracts for detailed design, build and test of their air vehicle solutions worth respectively $ 700 million and $ 940 million. The two companies will face a final fly-off competition in 2023.
"The Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft is the Army's number one aviation modernization priority and is integral to effectively penetrate and dis-integrate adversaries' Integrated Air Defense Systems. It will enable combatant commanders with greater tactical, operational and strategic capabilities through significantly increased speed, range, endurance, survivability and lethality", said Dr. Bruce D. Jette, Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology.
The Bell 360 Invictus, which we covered in greater detail in a previous article here at The Aviationist, uses a simple design with proven technologies to reduce risk and cost, like its main rotor which is a scaled down version of the articulated five-blade rotor designed for the Bell 525 Relentless, a super-medium-lift twin-engine commercial helicopter for the off-shore market.
One aspect that hit the headlines as soon as the Invictus was unveiled is its streamlined design much comparable to the RAH-66 Comanche. Here's what this Author wrote about this in that occasion:
Another feature that will help the helicopter reach high speeds is its streamlined profile, internal weapon bays, main rotor aerodynamic shroud, retractable landing gear and a ducted tail rotor, which is also slightly canted. This design is highly reminiscent of the Boeing/Sikorsky RAH-66 Comanche, the stealth armed reconnaissance helicopter designed in the 1980s to replace the OH-6 Cayuse and the OH-58 Kiowa and to designate targets for the AH-64 Apache. The program was canceled in 2004 with only two flying prototypes built.
Stealth, however, is not the reason of the design adopted for the Invictus. "Everything we have done has been focused on how do you keep the lowest drag possible on the aircraft, so we don't have to add exotic solutions to the aircraft the meet the requirements to get the speeds that you need for the FARA program", said Flail during the presentation.
The Sikorsky Raider X, on the other hand, features a more complex solution with a coaxial main rotor and a pusher propeller. The Raider X is a scaled-up version of the S-97 Raider, with a side-by-side cockpit to widen the fuselage and increase the payload carried in the internal weapon bays. Speaking about the payload, Lockheed Martin (which acquired Sikorsky in 2015) published a new concept art that shows for the first time the Raider X with its weapon bays open and the turret for the 20 mm cannon in front of the cockpit.
Recently, Bell and Sikorsky were awarded contracts also in the other Future Vertical Lift program, the Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) that will replace the UH-60 Black Hawk. Like for FARA, the two companies submitted two completely different designs, with Bell proposing the V-280 Valor tiltrotor and Sikorsky (in partnership with Boeing) proposing the SB1 coaxial compound helicopter. This time there were no additional competitors, so Bell and Sikorsky received two-years contracts to refine their already flying prototypes and produce conceptual designs, requirements feasibility, and trade studies for a final, ready to combat, aircraft proposal.

Fall Hanging Basket Ideas
Gardening above the ground with hanging baskets is a great way to kick off the fall season, what I love about hanging baskets is utilizing that extra space besides the addition of beauty and colors. Hanging baskets can do so much to lighten and brighten up an area. Though you may not have sufficient space for a garden or container garden you can still add beauty with the implementation of hanging baskets.
Hanging baskets are sometimes overlooked but these miniature gardens have their advantages and you can grow a variety of plant species with these gardens. I have had the delightful experience of working on many hanging basket projects that brought total ( Beautification) change.
Make this fall a great one by including hanging baskets as a part of your garden design or maybe you may need some ideas on how to spruce up your fall months with the help of these baskets. For more on how to fall garden with hanging baskets continue reading.
7 Ideas for Fall Hanging Baskets
1. Low Maintenance Plants
A low-maintenance hanging garden is a great way to garden, choosing to grow plants such as cactus, bromeliads, ZZ plants, spider plants, photos, etc… are just a few of the many low-maintenance plants that will not only add color but are easy to maintain.
These garden types will get your fall off to a great start, low maintenance plants have so many benefits, and taking care of these plants is a breeze, it is almost like setting it and forgetting it but you will still have to show your plants a little tender loving care.
2. Flowering Plants
The use of flowering plants can spruce up and add flavors to a drab area, there are so many fall flowering plants with which to choose, why I love flowering plants is the mixture of colors that can stand out and get things going.
Flowering plants from a hanging basket will bring that wow, some of my favorite fall flowering plants include pansy, fuchsia, petunia, begonia, mums, sweet alyssum, impatiens, lobelia, lantanas, million bells, portulaca, etc…
Before installing plants get to know the maintenance of that plant or plant species to have success, who knows your hanging baskets or hanging garden may attract pollinators or wildlife such as birds.
3. Flavoring your Fall Season with Herbs
Growing herbs from a hanging basket can give those beautiful aromas, with these types of hanging gardens you get the best of both worlds, growing your herbs with your very own hands and having almost an endless supply to continually flavor your favorite recipes.
Growing herbs from a hanging basket will allow you not to sacrifice garden space, with this type of garden you can save a few dollars on that grocery list. With an endless supply of herbs at your fingertips will flavor your fall season.
Some herbs that can be grown from hanging baskets are basil, rosemary, thyme, chives, sage, oregano, parsley, lavender, coriander, mint, marjoram, dill, etc.. if you haven’t why not consider growing an herb garden with the use of hanging baskets.
Succulent plants have thick fleshy tissues that are engorged with water, some succulents are known to only store water in the stems. These succulent species have very small leaves or no leaves at all. But there are some that store water in their leaves.
Succulents got their names because of the thick fleshy, sap-filled leaves, the leaves of succulents allow them to hold and retain water more than plants that have thinner leaves. Succulents can adapt well to harsh conditions where water is scarce. These garden beauties are colorful and easy to take care of which makes them a must-have for your fall garden.
Succulents are popular garden plants that are used in a range of garden design, these plants can also be grown indoors, there is said to be more than 180 varieties which gives you so much to choose from that will give you a colorful fall. Some names of hanging succulents are lantern flowers, wax plants, calico kitchen, October daphne, monkey’s tail, peanut cactus, rat tail cactus, etc…
Vines are an old popular favorite that still has not lost its flavor, hanging vines are so beautiful especially as the vines cascade down the sides of containers, walls, water features, and hanging baskets.
There are many vine species that can be used, as a former interior plant escape technician vines were one of the plant species I often work with installing them both in and outdoors on garden projects.
Some of the more popular vine species to work with are pothos vine, English ivy, grape, ivy, arrowhead, common ivy, spider plant, philodendron micans, satin pothos, hoya carnosa, spiderwort, etc… hanging vines are some of my favorites and will look great as a part of your fall design.

Yes if you’ve ever thought of growing veggies but just don’t have the space then this alternative will work wonders for you and growing veggies from these baskets are easy to maintain. This fall month is filled with surprises as you bring a new fresh twist to the way you garden.
Some vegetables that can be grown are cherry tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, sweet potato, lettuce, radishes, spring onions, chard, cucumbers, peas, etc.. there is just something about growing your very own edible foods. This method of growing veggies is a winner.
7. Growing Fruits in Hanging Baskets
We should call these edible baskets because fruits can be grown from hanging baskets as well helping you to reap a bountiful harvest. Growing fruits is a great way to grow healthy.
You owe it to yourself so why not give this method of growing fruits a try you will be happy with the results, some fruits that are popular to grow in this way are strawberries, citrus, blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries.

The economic impact of our community colleges
The system contributes over $1 billion annually to the state’s economy
Adding annually to the pool of highly educated and skilled labor is among the most important benefits higher education institutions provide. New Hampshire’s ability to retain and attract businesses that will keep the state’s economy strong is dependent upon the state’s capacity to generate a skilled workforce. The most significant role of the Community College System of New Hampshire is in preparing state residents with the education and training they need to be successful in the economy.
New Hampshire’s community colleges provide education and training to more than 27,000 students annually. Ninety-three percent are New Hampshire residents. Sixty percent are of “traditional” college age (18 to 24 years old), while 40 percent are adults 25 and older.
CCSNH directly and indirectly impacts the state’s economy through its contribution to developing a skilled workforce aligned with New Hampshire’s employer needs, and also through employment and expenditures, producing an overall economic impact of over $1 billion annually.
The most important component of CCSNH’s $1 billion economic impact is the provision of affordable and accessible education that provides pathways to well-paying employment for residents across the state. New Hampshire residents with an associate degree earn on average 27 percent more annually than residents with a high school terminal degree.
A skilled workforce pipeline is also very important to states such as New Hampshire, which compete on the basis of a skilled workforce for high-paying employers. CCSNH’s contribution to a more skilled population results in a $964 million economic impact annually.
In addition to the economic impact that results from strengthening New Hampshire’s skilled workforce, CCSNH adds $77 million annually to the economy from employment and employee expenditures and institutional expenditures on goods and services in New Hampshire.
And there are the non-quantifiable impacts that include contributions by community college students, faculty and staff through community service, internships, service learning, the provision of professional expertise and other activities that support community organizations and businesses in the state.
CCSNH is preparing New Hampshire’s future workforce while working to keep education affordable. Continued state support to the community colleges to address affordability is critical.
In the last budget cycle, state funding was directed to lowering tuition and increasing affordability of educational pathways. This has resulted in increased enrollment of students at our colleges in programs aligned with employer needs. The result is an increased pool of skilled workers who possess critical thinking skills and are adaptable to new and evolving technologies in high-demand fields.
In addition to lowering tuition in 2014, the community colleges froze tuition in four of the last nine years. And with educational partners including the University System of New Hampshire, CCSNH is strengthening access to transfer pathways so students can start at a community college and transfer seamlessly and cost-effectively to complete a four-year degree, including through new dual-admission programs with UNH.
CCSNH’s work to strengthen New Hampshire’s workforce and its impact of $1 billion annually to the state’s economy are critical elements in New Hampshire’s economic future and quality of life.
Ross Gittell is an economist and chancellor of the Community College System of New Hampshire. Jeremy Hitchcock is CEO and a co-founder of Dyn Inc. and a CCSNH board member.

Timpuy Buffet Restaurant
Carretera Hiram Bingham S/N-Km 7.5 , Machu Picchu, Peru
Timpuy Buffet Restaurant Machu Picchu Reviews
A restaurant at the entrance of Machu Picchu - Tinkuy Buffet Restaurant Dec 12, 2008
Daily lunch buffet for guests of the Lodge and visitors to Machu Picchu. It offers a variety of international and Peruvian dishes.
They have a nice selection of appetizers, salads, main courses and desserts.
The appetizers include the famous cebiche, grilled peppers, salmon mousse, etc.
You can find different fresh salads, including the solterito, a regional salad that has lima beans, corn and cheese.
There are different main courses, like pasta, fish, beef and also pork, which is very tender. As side you can find rice, veggies and mashed apples.
Also you will find different sauces and gravies for your dish. One of the sauces is made with passion fruit which gives the veggies a delicious taste.
The desserts are delicious too, so save some space for them. You can find fresh fruit, rice pudding, brownies, passion fruit cheesecake, mango mousse and other cakes.
The buffet includes all the soft drinks you can have and also hot beverages, like coffee, coca tea or other teas.
The atmosphere is nice. But since it’s a buffet, it can be a bit noisy with a lot of people walking. Therefore there are musicians who play from time to time to entertain the people.
The staff is helpful and they are always looking if you need anything else. Not even after 30sec you finish your meal, a waiter may come to pick up the dishes and change your fork and knife :)

Extreme makeover: Tom Cruise rubs bird-droppings into his face in attempt to stay looking young
Some celebrities opt for a bit of Botox or even a chemical peel in an attempt to keep their youthful looks.
But not Tom Cruise, who instead swears that a smearing of bird-droppings on his face is all he needs to stay young.
According to Now magazine, the Rock of Ages star, 49, has told friends that his skin has never looked better thanks to the expensive spa treatment.
Looking good! Tom, seen here at an event in New York last week, swears by a bird dropping treatment on his face to keep him looking young
It involves mixing poo from a nightingale with rice bran and water which is then applied as a face mask.
And a source told the magazine: 'Tom doesn’t go in for Botox or surgery but he does pay close attention to all the new natural treatments.
'He recently started experimenting with the nightingale poo facial after it was recommended by a Hollywood pal and the results have been fantastic.'
It seems to be working! Tom, who turns 50 next Monday, looks exactly the same as he did eight years ago
Tom, who is married to 33-year-old actress Katie Holmes with whom he has a daughter, Suri, aged six, doesn't believe i plastic surgery and said this is a better alternative.
The source added: 'Tom doesn’t see splashing out on the facials as him being vain or weird. In fact, he points out there are much wackier fads out there.'
Other celebrities believed to be fans of the poo treatment include David and Victoria Beckham, who used to be good friends with Cruise and Holmes.
New York beautician Shizuka Bernstein said: 'The nightingale poo acts as an exfoliant that brings out the dirt and adds shine.'
Poo fans: David and Victoria Beckham are also believed to use the unusual treatment

Simultaneously surprising and not surprising: Derek Jeter has announced that 2014 will be his last season.
Surprising because it’s going to be hard to imagine baseball without Derek Jeter’s presence. His injuries last season aside, the New York Yankees shortstop has been baseball’s constant for nearly 20 years. Not surprising because he turns 40 in June and that’s a couple of years beyond even the greatest, longest-lived and most durable shortstops in the game. He sounds like he’ll be ready for the upcoming season, but there cannot be too much more gas left in the tank.
As it stands entering his final year, Jeter has five World Series rings, five gold gloves and 3,316 hits and a career line of .312/.381/.446. He punched his first-ballot ticket to the Hall of Fame years ago. Now he’s playing for the right to go out healthy, on his own terms and, if things break right for the Yankees, a winner.
Prepare for six months of “Let’s win one more for the Captain.” And a lot of retirement gifts.
Here is Jeter’s announcement, as posted on his Facebook page:

An Italian court has jailed three members of a Nigerian crime gang in Palermo, Sicily, sentencing them to at least a decade in prison each for crimes including attempted murder.
Prosecutors said the trio brought to Palermo the practices of the “Black Axe” cult, which Nigerian police said carried out ritual murders, mutilation and rape in the early 1990s.
In Sicily, they used mafia techniques in carrying out attempted murder, armed robbery, bodily harm, extortion and drug-dealing, and answered to Italy’s most storied mafia organisation, the Cosa Nostra, as if they were its subjects, prosecutors said.
The court’s verdict, reached on Wednesday and made available on Friday, handed down sentences of 12 years and four months to the gang’s boss and just over 10 years each to two others.
The group is believed to have attacked two people with bottles and axes late one night in January 2014 in Palermo’s Ballaro street market, where police later found the victims with gashed foreheads.
The Black Axe was among several secret societies that took hold in Nigerian universities in the 1990s, allegedly attacking people on campus with guns and knives, raping women who refused to pay protection money and engaging in blood-drinking rituals.

Canada Goose‘s mission is clear: to keep the planet cold and its inhabitants warm. Since launching its sustainability impact strategy in late 2020, the Canadian-based luxury brand has implemented a series of company-wide changes to combat its environmental impact, ranging from a fur free pledge to a comprehensive 10-year campaign in conjunction with PBI (Polar Bears International) to protect and conserve the species.
However, the outerwear brand’s newest collection, the HUMANATURE capsule, is a bit more tangible for those looking for a high-end winter parka. Designed with the luxury performance ethos that Canada Goose is known for, the collection represents a new era of commitment to sustainable practices.
Notably, the HUMANATURE capsule sports a unique beige-white color (officially titled griege), a byproduct of the collection’s rejection of dyed fabrics. By eliminating the dyeing process, production is less dependent on chemicals and water. The capsule also offers premium comfort despite its recycled nature, with organic and responsibly sourced heavyweight cashmere. That’s not to say the offerings skimp in the insulation department; recycled nylon and superior construction mean that each piece is designed for superior warmth even in cold and frigid conditions.
Composed of the iconic Standard Expedition Parka – one of Canada Goose’s elite performance styles, field tested and approved in temperatures of -22°F and below – plus four new down jackets and overcoats like the Rhya, the HUMANATURE collection starts at $495.
You can shop the entire line of HUMANATURE jackets from Canada Goose at the link below and find out more about what the company is doing to support sustainable practices. here.

One French company bought Sierra and Blizzard, now another is taking an interest in Interplay.
Publicly traded French game company Titus Interactive has made a $10 million investment in Interplay by purchasing 2.5 million shares of the company's stock. Titus has further secured an option to buy out Universal Studios' stake in Interplay, which, if it goes through, would leave Titus holding 34% of Interplay stock.
Furthermore, as part of the purchase agreement between Titus and Interplay, Interplay will issue up to 2.5 million additional shares of stock to Titus.
"These two transactions improved our financial position and should alleviate cash flow and short-term debt issues," said Interplay CEO Brian Fargo. "If you combine these events, with the momentum built through the sales of Baldur's Gate and our anticipated release, including Descent 3, Giants and Kingpin among others, we believe we are on track to see significant improvement in 1999."
"The strategic investment was done in anticipation of our two companies exploring broader opportunities, including possible business combinations," Fargo continued. "We have agreed to negotiate these opportunities exclusively over the next ninety days. The first deal we anticipate would allow Interplay to distribute Titus' PC software products in North America."


Increasingly, mobile technologies are used to gather diary data in basic research and clinical studies. This article considers issues relevant to the integration of electronic diary (ED) methods in clinical assessment. EDs can be used to gather rich information regarding clients' day-to-day experiences, aiding diagnosis, treatment planning, treatment implementation, and treatment evaluation. The authors review the benefits of using diary methods in addition to retrospective assessments, and they review studies assessing whether EDs yield higher quality data than conventional, less expensive paper-pencil diaries. Practical considerations--including what platforms can be used to implement EDs, what features they should have, and considerations in designing diary protocols for sampling different types of clinical phenomena--are described. The authors briefly illustrate with examples some ways in which ED data could be summarized for clinical use. Finally, the authors consider barriers to clinical adoption of EDs. EDs are likely to become increasingly popular tools in routine clinical assessment as clinicians become more familiar with the logic of diary designs; as software packages evolve to meet the needs of clinicians; and as mobile technologies become ubiquitous, robust, and inexpensive.
