It doesn’t take too long in isolation in the country to start going slightly crazy. Or at least start thinking a little “differently”, shall we say. With the Grenache and Mourvedre now bubbling away in primary fermentation, someone has to hang out here in Sonoma to punch down the grapes, take temp readings and Specific Gravity levels. That would, again, be moi and two terriers. At least, as of a few days ago, I have Wi-Fi. So I’m doing a little better. It’s the dogs that are starting to go stir crazy. Or again, let’s just say, in the words of Apple, they are starting to “Think Different”. Oscar, especially, is starting to resemble some political pundits and commentators. He’s given all the facts, but the conclusions he’s reaching are not what you’d expect or not necessarily what logic would dictate. Our latest misunderstanding is about the many juicy, delicious dead animals that seem to litter Sonoma. Oscar was becoming decidedly “wolfy” when he had a good rotting deer leg or jawbone and I tried to take it away from him. He would growl and clamp down hard. Not a good thing to encourage in a terrier and a habit I wanted to break quickly. A quick google of various dog trainers yielded the common advice that I shouldn’t try to get into a battle with him over his bone finds. Instead, I should work on the “drop it” command, making sure he got a wonderful reward for dropping whatever mass of decaying flesh and bone he was chewing on. Portrait of the artist as a young pup. Oscar de la Hoya. AKA Sir Oscar Doglington-Smyth, Baronet. Luckily Oscar will do most anything for the delicious homemade dog cookies from Three Dog Bakery in Sonoma. So for the past week or so, he’s been richly rewarded with cookies every time he dropped a particularly nasty bit of carrion and let me put it in the garbage without a fuss. Oscar with a baby deer leg. This netted him two cookies. Then, in the last few days, Oscar’s been ranging further away and always coming back with a piece of something dead. He’s always glad to drop it for cookies. Now it’s hit me. He thinks he’s rewarded for finding and bringing dead stuff, not for dropping it. I’ve just discovered he has one particularly delicious carcass that he’s been bringing me a piece at a time to maximize his cookie haul. Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader, indeed! Are you smarter than a Smooth Fox Terrier? Before we discovered the “Cookie Method”, this was how carrion was wrested from Oscar. Note the hands on the throat! The upshot is that, as I work in the vineyards, I’m constantly being presented with carrion that I have to retrieve and put somewhere where it can’t be taken up and re-presented to me for even more cookies. The short term solution has been to hang the bones and body parts from the vineyards. So it looks like we’re all decorated for Halloween here at TTV. It’s just not smelling so nice. Well, call it all part of the terroir.

An act to amend Section 17053.5 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, relating to taxation, to take effect immediately, tax levy. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 1212, as introduced, Anderson. Personal income taxes: renter’s credit. The Personal Income Tax Law authorizes various credits against the taxes imposed by that law, including a credit for qualified renters in the amount of $120 for spouses filing joint returns, heads of household, and surviving spouses if adjusted gross income is $50,000 or less, as currently adjusted to $80,156, and in the amount of $60 for other individuals if adjusted gross income is $25,000 or less, as currently adjusted to $40,078. This bill would increase that credit from $120 to $500 and from $60 to $250 for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2019. This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy. Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO Bill Text The people of the State of California do enact as follows: SECTION 1. Section 17053.5 of the Revenue and Taxation Code is amended to read: 17053.5. (a) (1) For a qualified renter, there shall be allowed a credit against his or her “net tax,” as defined in Section 17039. The amount of the credit shall be as follows: (A) For spouses filing joint returns, heads of household, and surviving spouses, as defined in Section 17046, if adjusted gross income is fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) or less, the credit shall be equal to one hundred twenty dollars ($120) if adjusted gross income is fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) or less. for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2019, and five hundred dollars ($500) for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2019. (B) For other individuals, if adjusted gross income is twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) or less, the credit shall be equal to sixty dollars ($60) if adjusted gross income is twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) or less. for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2019, and two hundred fifty dollars ($250) for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2019. (2) Except as provided in subdivision (b), spouses shall receive but one credit under this section. If the spouses file separate returns, the credit may be taken by either or equally divided between them, except as follows: (A) If one spouse was a resident for the entire taxable year and the other spouse was a nonresident for part or all of the taxable year, the resident spouse shall be allowed one-half the credit allowed to married persons and the nonresident spouse shall be permitted one-half the credit allowed to married persons, prorated as provided in subdivision (e). (B) If both spouses were nonresidents for part of the taxable year, the credit allowed to married persons shall be divided equally between them subject to the proration provided in subdivision (e). (b) For spouses, if each spouse maintained a separate place of residence and resided in this state during the entire taxable year, each spouse will be allowed one-half the full credit allowed to married persons provided in subdivision (a). (c) For purposes of this section, a “qualified renter” means an individual who satisfies both of the following: (1) Was a resident of this state, as defined in Section 17014. (2) Rented and occupied premises in this state which constituted his or her principal place of residence during at least 50 percent of the taxable year. (d) “Qualified renter” does not include any of the following: (1) An individual who for more than 50 percent of the taxable year rented and occupied premises that were exempt from property taxes, except that an individual, otherwise qualified, is deemed a qualified renter if he or she or his or her landlord pays possessory interest taxes, or the owner of those premises makes payments in lieu of property taxes that are substantially equivalent to property taxes paid on properties of comparable market value. (2) An individual whose principal place of residence for more than 50 percent of the taxable year is with another person who claimed that individual as a dependent for income tax purposes. (3) An individual who has been granted or whose spouse has been granted the homeowners’ property tax exemption during the taxable year. This paragraph does not apply to an individual whose spouse has been granted the homeowners’ property tax exemption if each spouse maintained a separate residence for the entire taxable year. (e) An otherwise qualified renter who is a nonresident for any portion of the taxable year shall claim the credits set forth in subdivision (a) at the rate of one-twelfth of those credits for each full month that individual resided within this state during the taxable year. (f) A person claiming the credit provided in this section shall, as part of that claim, and under penalty of perjury, furnish that information as the Franchise Tax Board prescribes on a form supplied by the board. (g) The credit provided in this section shall be claimed on returns in the form as the Franchise Tax Board may from time to time prescribe.

(j) For each taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 1999, the Franchise Tax Board shall recompute the adjusted gross income amounts set forth in subdivision (a). The computation shall be made as follows: (1) The Department of Industrial Relations shall transmit annually to the Franchise Tax Board the percentage change in the California Consumer Price Index for all items from June of the prior calendar year to June of the current year, no later than August 1 of the current calendar year. (2) The Franchise Tax Board shall compute an inflation adjustment factor by adding 100 percent to the portion of the percentage change figure which is furnished pursuant to paragraph (1) and dividing the result by 100. (3) The Franchise Tax Board shall multiply the amount in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (d) (a) for the preceding taxable year by the inflation adjustment factor determined in paragraph (2), and round off the resulting products to the nearest one dollar ($1). (4) In computing the amounts pursuant to this subdivision, the amounts provided in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) shall be twice the amount provided in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (a). SEC. 2. This act provides for a tax levy within the meaning of Article IV of the California Constitution and shall go into immediate effect.

Focus bracketing and HDR landscapes. January 12, 2020 by Leigh Kemp - UK-based "Paintographer" in Focus Bracketing, HDR, Landscape, Leigh Kemp, photography, Photography equipment, Travel | 1 Comment Hi everyone, Lately I’ve been experimenting with focus bracketing and combining with HDR. For quite a while now I’ve been using Skylum Software’s Aurora HDR 2019 with very good results. I set off recently to one of my favourite locations, Bushy Park, to deliberately shoot focus bracketed shots as well as HDR of the same scene. I typically shot 3-4 focus bracketed shots and another three frame HDR at +/- 2EV. I processed the HDR in Aurora to my tastes as usual and used Affinity Photo’s focus merge feature to merge the focus bracket shots as well as the HDR from Aurora. I then edited further in some of my other software including Skylum’s Luminar 4. Here’s few results from my experiments. Tack sharp front to back and HDR. I know that this will surprise regular visitors to my blog who know how much I hate them but I actually took a tripod, specifically for these experiments. Unfortunately it was, as usual too heavy and cumbersome and I returned home, on foot as usual, with quite severe aches and pains in my back and shoulders after carrying it around for about five or six hours so I’m not taking it again but I might have found an interesting alternative, the MeFoto Backpacker Air tripod which weighs only 2 lbs and is ideal for my Micro Four Thirds gear. Quick to setup and at only 10.4 inches in length when collapsed it should also fit neatly in my Vanguard VEO GO34M camera bag. Image: https://www.mefoto.com I bought one of these ingenious Hero Clips so that I could easily hang my camera bag or another weight from the tripod’s weight hook for extra stability. I guess that you could hang just about anything from it. Note it is not safe for rock climbing etc..

About Leigh As I sit here looking at my modern digital cameras I’m reminded of my first camera and, in particular, the first photograph that I ever took. Nowadays we take cameras and camera technology pretty much for granted but when I was a child I can’t remember many photographs. The only time our camera saw the light of day, and it had to be the light of day, as there wasn’t a flash, was on a few family occasions, the usual thing, school sports days, birthdays, etc.. My interest in photography didn’t start until my grandfather “loaned” me his camera to take with me on a week-long school trip, sleeping under canvas, in Snowdonia, North Wales. It was a somewhat battered old twin-lens reflex camera in which one looked downwards in to the viewfinder when taking a photograph. I remember being very excited at being entrusted with the family camera, film wasn’t cheap and I had very little to no idea how to use it. The experience must have made some kind of impression on me as, after all these years, I still remember taking my first photograph. The coach stopped en-route at Blenheim Palace, the ancestral home of Sir Winston Churchill and it became the subject of my first photograph. Although, sadly, like my other photographs from the trip, it has long since disappeared, however, I really don’t need the photograph to remind me as the experience is indelibly etched on my mind. I wonder if this is perhaps where my interest in landscape photography stems from but that’s probably too much of an assumption. As far as I remember I was the only kid on the trip to have a camera, that’s how different things were, nowadays, just about everyone has a camera of some sort built in to their mobile phones. It also taught me to be disciplined to the point of being frugal when taking photographs as the trip was for one week and I only had a 12 exposure black and white film in the camera. Some years later I really got the photography bug and bought my first camera, an Olympus OM-1 35 mm film camera and I went on to own their OM-2 and OM-4ti cameras and a range of lenses. Film was still pretty expensive considering I earned about £20 a week in my first job so I got in to developing and printing my own black and white and, later, colour films to help keep the costs down and make things more affordable. Not only did this experience teach me an awful lot about image-making start to finish, many of the techniques and skills that I learned in my makeshift darkroom, a small room adorned with genuine World War 2 blackout curtains fitted to keep out the light, another hand-me-down from my grandfather, these skills would re-surface and be invaluable some years later when I started working on processing my digital images. I put myself through University as a mature student and I badly needed the money so I had to very reluctantly part with all my photographic equipment, but needs must. After I graduated I bought my first digital camera, a small fixed lens Kodak compact camera, reduced in a sale. It had, by today’s standards, a laughably small maximum image resolution of 640×480 pixels or, to put it another way, a stunning 0.4 Megapixels!. For all of this and further equipped with screw on wide angle and telephoto lens attachments, it proved to be a fabulous little camera which I took all over the place with me. Put simply, digital photography was a revelation, to me, no requirement for film, no real running costs and a lot of image capacity on a small memory card which I found absolutely liberating. A few years before that I had discovered some free graphics editing software on the cover disk of a computer magazine and that started off my real passion for working with graphics and, ultimately, photo processing. So I then had all the tools I required to develop, pun intended and further, my interest in digital photography. Processing is where the magic starts for me, I am totally absorbed in and fascinated by the range of options that digital processing affords me. It encourages me, if, that is, I ever need encouragement, to constantly experiment with new styles, new techniques and is such an important part of my enjoyment and interest in photography. I went on to own several DSLRs but, as I got older I began to find that they were simply too heavy and bulky. I switched over a few years ago to Micro Four Thirds cameras and lenses. My choice of MFT system was heavily influenced by my experiences with my Olympus film cameras, maybe it was, in truth, part based on nostalgia that I decided on their OM-D system. As a landscape/travel photographer I have to carry my gear around all day and the weight and bulk saving is highly significant. I’ve been very impressed with the image quality of my Micro Four Thirds equipment, it has traveled with me extensively, never let me down and I have never had cause to question my decision to go over to that format. So my 50 year photographic adventure has led me from twin-lens reflex and single-lens reflex film cameras to digital cameras, from stumbling around in a dimly-lit darkroom to working with my images on my computer. I’ve heard it said on occasions, including a comment I read some while back by a very famous photographer, that cameras being so much an every-day item now and available in mobile phones etc. devalues photography. I feel quite the opposite, I firmly believe that it empowers everyone with affordable technology to take photographs and enjoy photography and that, in my opinion, is fantastic. Although I’ve very much enjoyed my personal photographic journey I do confess to feeling a slight tinge of regret that the technology wasn’t available when I started out but one can’t put the clock back and I intend to keep on embracing all these great technological advancements, experimenting and enjoying my work.

This spicy roasted cauliflower recipe is just florets tossed with spices and baked in handy bites that are spicy but not too spicy, if you know what we mean. Adapted from Christine Bailey | The Gut Health Diet Plan | Nourish, 2016 There’s spicy roasted cauliflower and then there’s spicy roasted cauliflower. You know, as in a soggy-in-some-spots-and-still-crunchy-in-other-places bland excuse for a side dish versus a perfectly tender and gently spiced specimen of cruciferous loveliness that you just can’t stop noshing. Guess which kind of roasted cauliflower this recipe makes?–Renee Schettler Rossi Spicy Roasted Cauliflower This spicy roasted cauliflower recipe is just florets tossed with spices and baked in handy bites that are spicy but not too spicy, if you know what we mean.

Tons of flavor from all that spice! Sofia Reino This spicy roasted cauliflower was a family pleaser. We all loved it and it disappeared pretty fast. Breaking the cauliflower into small pieces is what took the longest while making this. I think I could have added a bit more of the seasoning. After 20 minutes the cauliflower was fully cooked. I left it in the oven hoping it would crisp but after 45 minutes it still was not crunchy so I turned the oven to broil for 3 minutes, turned them a bit, and then broiled them for 2 more minutes. The end result was a very addictive, healthy little snack. L. Fraser This roasted cauliflower with spices is almost addictive. I kept thinking I was done and I’d go back for more. Make sure you have plenty for everyone. We had a total of 3 people eating it at a barbecue dinner. I would suggest making another batch if you have more people. The cauliflower ended up being very tasty indeed! The flavors came out to be just right and I wouldn’t change a thing. K. Zimmerman Cauliflower isn’t a favorite vegetable of mine so I don’t cook it much but I was curious to see how we would like it roasted and spiced. It was easy to put together and cooked fairly well. The cauliflower soaked up all the spices and olive oil. I had thought the olive oil and spices were too scant before cooking but once it started cooking it was clearly enough. I turned the cauliflower every 15 minutes and I wasn’t able to get it crisp, even with additional 10 minutes of cooking time. Even without getting crispy, the cauliflower was tasty. My husband said it could be addictive and both my sons liked it, including my picky vegetable eater. It served four of us—two kids and two adults—with leftovers. I reheated the leftovers the following night in a 425°F (218°C) oven for 10 minutes and finally got the dark crispy pieces I was originally hoping for. I would definitely make this again but at a higher oven temperature. Irene Seales Cauliflower always rings the no-guilt bell for me, especially as a snack or appetizer or even standing in for buffalo wings or rice. This spicy roasted cauliflower recipe was mild, not punchy like cauliflower buffalo wings. It was good. It’s on the mild end. I could readily recommend this to folks who don’t do spicy food as it’s not too spicy for kids or a timid palate. It’s nearly perfect, and I think with a higher temperature (or added convection) the crispiness factor would be perfect. At 350℉ (177°C), it is difficult to get to the crisp exterior you expect, but it was nicely golden brown, and coated with just enough flavor to make it interesting, yet not oily or messy. I gave it a full hour in the oven, checking it every 15 minutes. I did my prep the night before, washing, trimming the cauliflower, and breaking off into small pieces (saving the core and leaves for use in soup or a stir-fry) and bagging it in the fridge. The next day I ground up fresh cumin, mixing with the spices and oil and gently tossed the cauliflower for a long while to capture every bit of the spice slurry. I used a glass bowl to keep from staining a plastic one with the turmeric or paprika, and when I had tossed the cauliflower, it left a nearly clean bowl with no excess oil. Without overcrowding, it made a single layer on a half-sheet pan lined with parchment. This is easy. It serves 2 easily as a veggie course, or would serve 4 if other tapas were offered although no one would know if you kept the entire bowl to yourself and settled in with a good movie or TV show. Jeanie McCallister This spicy roasted cauliflower recipe was a snap to make. I cut the cauliflower into small chunks. After mixing the wet and dry ingredients I added the cauliflower. Initially I did not think the topping would be enough to coat the cauliflower, but it turned out to be just the right amount. The cauliflower was perfectly coated, leaving just a small residue in the bowl. I roasted the cauliflower for the full 45 minutes, stirring once. They were not as crisp as I would have liked, but still tasty nonetheless. This recipe is a tasty, easy-to-put-together, healthy low carb snack or side dish. Adrienne Lee This spicy roasted cauliflower was easy to make and tasted great. SHOW MORE TESTERS’ REVIEWS Originally published March 18, 2017 Print Recipe Want it? Click it. Print Recipe Want it?

Image stabilizer A technology used for reducing or even eliminating the effects of camera shake. Gyro sensors inside the lens detect camera shake and pass the data to a microcomputer. Then an image stabilization group of elements controlled by the microcomputer moves inside the lens and compensates camera shake in order to keep the image static on the imaging sensor or film. The technology allows to increase the shutter speed by several stops and shoot handheld in such lighting conditions and at such focal lengths where without image stabilizer you have to use tripod, decrease the shutter speed and/or increase the ISO setting which can lead to blurry and noisy images.

Format Format refers to the shape and size of film or image sensor. 35mm is the common name of the 36x24mm film format or image sensor format. It has an aspect ratio of 3:2, and a diagonal measurement of approximately 43mm. The name originates with the total width of the 135 film which was the primary medium of the format prior to the invention of the full frame digital SLR. Historically the 35mm format was sometimes called small format to distinguish it from the medium and large formats. APS-C is an image sensor format approximately equivalent in size to the film negatives of 25.1x16.7mm with an aspect ratio of 3:2. Medium format is a film format or image sensor format larger than 36x24mm (35mm) but smaller than 4x5in (large format). Angle of view Angle of view describes the angular extent of a given scene that is imaged by a camera. It is used interchangeably with the more general term field of view. As the focal length changes, the angle of view also changes. The shorter the focal length (eg 18mm), the wider the angle of view. Conversely, the longer the focal length (eg 55mm), the smaller the angle of view. A camera's angle of view depends not only on the lens, but also on the sensor. Imaging sensors are sometimes smaller than 35mm film frame, and this causes the lens to have a narrower angle of view than with 35mm film, by a certain factor for each sensor (called the crop factor). This website does not use the angles of view provided by lens manufacturers, but calculates them automatically by the following formula: 114.6 * arctan (21.622 / CF * FL), where: CF – crop-factor of a sensor, FL – focal length of a lens. Mount A lens mount is an interface — mechanical and often also electrical — between a camera body and a lens. A lens mount may be a screw-threaded type, a bayonet-type, or a breech-lock type. Modern camera lens mounts are of the bayonet type, because the bayonet mechanism precisely aligns mechanical and electrical features between lens and body, unlike screw-threaded mounts. Lens mounts of competing manufacturers (Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sony etc.) are always incompatible. In addition to the mechanical and electrical interface variations, the flange focal distance from the lens mount to the film or sensor can also be different. Lens construction Lens construction – a specific arrangement of elements and groups that make up the optical design, including type and size of elements, type of used materials etc. Element - an individual piece of glass which makes up one component of a photographic lens. Photographic lenses are nearly always built up of multiple such elements. Group – a cemented together pieces of glass which form a single unit or an individual piece of glass. The advantage is that there is no glass-air surfaces between cemented together pieces of glass, which reduces reflections. Flange focal distance The flange focal distance (FFD), sometimes called the "flange back", is the distance from the mechanical rear end surface of the lens mount to the focal plane. Focal length The focal length is the factor that determines the size of the image reproduced on the focal plane, picture angle which covers the area of the subject to be photographed, depth of field, etc. Speed The largest opening or stop at which a lens can be used is referred to as the speed of the lens. The larger the maximum aperture is, the faster the lens is considered to be. Lenses that offer a large maximum aperture are commonly referred to as fast lenses, and lenses with smaller maximum aperture are regarded as slow. In low-light situations, having a wider maximum aperture means that you can shoot at a faster shutter speed or work at a lower ISO, or both. Closest focusing distance The minimum distance from the focal plane (film or sensor) to the subject where the lens is still able to focus. Closest working distance The distance from the front edge of the lens to the subject at the maximum magnification. Magnification ratio Determines how large the subject will appear in the final image. For example, a magnification ratio of 1:1 means that the image of the subject formed on the film or sensor will be the same size as the subject in real life. For this reason, a 1:1 ratio is often called "life-size". Electromagnetic diaphragm control system Provides highly accurate diaphragm control and stable auto exposure performance during continuous shooting. Manual diaphragm The diaphragm must be stopped down manually by rotating the detent aperture ring. Preset diaphragm The lens has two rings, one is for pre-setting, while the other is for normal diaphragm adjustment. The first ring must be set at the desired aperture, the second ring then should be fully opened for focusing, and turned back for stop down to the pre-set value. Semi-automatic diaphragm The lens features spring mechanism in the diaphragm, triggered by the shutter release, which stops down the diaphragm to the pre-set value. The spring needs to be reset manually after each exposure to re-open diaphragm to its maximum value. Automatic diaphragm The camera automatically closes the diaphragm down during the shutter operation. On completion of the exposure, the diaphragm re-opens to its maximum value. Number of blades As a general rule, the more blades that are used to create the aperture opening in the lens, the rounder the out-of-focus highlights will be. Some lenses are designed with curved diaphragm blades, so the roundness of the aperture comes not from the number of blades, but from their shape. However, the fewer blades the diaphragm has, the more difficult it is to form a circle, regardless of rounded edges. At maximum aperture, the opening will be circular regardless of the number of blades. Weight Excluding case or pouch, caps and other detachable accessories (lens hood, close-up adapter, tripod adapter etc.). Maximum diameter x Length Excluding case or pouch, caps and other detachable accessories (lens hood, close-up adapter, tripod adapter etc.). For lenses with collapsible design, the length is indicated for the working (retracted) state. Weather sealing A rubber material which is inserted in between each externally exposed part (manual focus and zoom rings, buttons, switch panels etc.) to ensure it is properly sealed against dust and moisture. Lenses that accept front mounted filters typically do not have gaskets behind the filter mount. It is recommended to use a filter for complete weather resistance when desired. Fluorine coating Helps keep lenses clean by reducing the possibility of dust and dirt adhering to the lens and by facilitating cleaning should the need arise. Applied to the outer surface of the front and/or rear lens elements over multi-coatings. Filters Lens filters are accessories that can protect lenses from dirt and damage, enhance colors, minimize glare and reflections, and add creative effects to images. Lens hood A lens hood or lens shade is a device used on the end of a lens to block the sun or other light source in order to prevent glare and lens flare. Flare occurs when stray light strikes the front element of a lens and then bounces around within the lens. This stray light often comes from very bright light sources, such as the sun, bright studio lights, or a bright white background. The geometry of the lens hood can vary from a plain cylindrical or conical section to a more complex shape, sometimes called a petal, tulip, or flower hood. This allows the lens hood to block stray light with the higher portions of the lens hood, while allowing more light into the corners of the image through the lowered portions of the hood. Lens hoods are more prominent in long focus lenses because they have a smaller viewing angle than that of wide-angle lenses. For wide angle lenses, the length of the hood cannot be as long as those for telephoto lenses, as a longer hood would enter the wider field of view of the lens. Lens hoods are often designed to fit onto the matching lens facing either forward, for normal use, or backwards, so that the hood may be stored with the lens without occupying much additional space. In addition, lens hoods can offer some degree of physical protection for the lens due to the hood extending farther than the lens itself. Teleconverters Teleconverters increase the effective focal length of lenses. They also usually maintain the closest focusing distance of lenses, thus increasing the magnification significantly. A lens combined with a teleconverter is normally smaller, lighter and cheaper than a "direct" telephoto lens of the same focal length and speed. Teleconverters are a convenient way of enhancing telephoto capability, but it comes at a cost − reduced maximum aperture. Also, since teleconverters magnify every detail in the image, they logically also magnify residual aberrations of the lens.

For some assignments, you may be asked to use journal articles or other peer-reviewed material. These articles are written by scholars, and each is reviewed by other scholars before it is published to ensure it meets academic standards for the field. Many journals are published online, and most of Nash Library's journal collections are online only. You may find articles by browsing through specific journal titles or by searching through many journals at once using a database. If you are connected to the internet on-campus, you are already logged in to all of Nash Library's online databases and journals. If you are off-campus, you will have to log in using your USAO credentials. Databases for Academic Articles Databases allow you to search within a vast number of publications to find journal articles and other sources, including books, book chapters, conference proceedings, and dissertations. Because these databases are only accessible via subscription, you will find articles and other materials that you could not find using a simple Google search. To see a list of all databases, click on Databases in the light green ribbon at the top of the screen. The following are databases particularly useful for finding articles on music topics: Academic Search Complete A multi-disciplinary database covering many areas of academic study, with more than 7,000 full-text periodicals, including nearly 6,000 peer-reviewed journals.

An overview: Lesbian Rights Aotearoa Admin on March 14, 2019 We encourage visitors to the site to read our ‘about us‘ before reading this post. We are a group of lesbians in NZ who want to create positive pro-lesbian spaces and politics. It’s Pride Month in Wellington and as a part of that Out Wellington Inc. hosts a fair called Out in the Park. We had our place at the fair confirmed in early February so we’ve been planning on attending for some time. We were excited to go along and show that it’s okay to be a lesbian and proud, but instead we’ve been banned because our kaupapa is not “inclusive” enough. Festival directors Drew Hadwen and Karen Harris emailed us seemingly out of the blue rescinding our stall and invoice. They said that because they “welcome all people, groups and organisations who want to join with us to celebrate the amazing diversity and creativity in our LGBTIQ+ community” they can not have our lesbian feminist stall or “presence” at Out Wellington Inc. organised events. We have written to Wellington City Council Mayor Justin Lester asking for a meeting to discuss whether he supports City Council funding going towards events that discriminate against lesbian groups. It’s unclear whether the email and public comments telling us our presence is “not allowed” are supposed to serve as a trespass or warning. We have emailed Out Wellington Inc. to clarify whether we are (or might be) trespassed from Out in the Park for simply showing up. They have yet to reply. We are far from the only lesbian feminists excluded from queer events and politics. Last year, lesbians were excluded from the Dyke March in the name of inclusivity in Canada, Argentinian lesbians put out a communiqué discussing lesbian exclusion from queer politics, and in the UK lesbian feminists continued to be ‘no-platformed’ and vilified for supporting lesbian rights. ⚢⚢⚢ In positive news, we are hosting our own lesbian only event in Wellington next week to look forward to. Apologies for the late notice, that appears to be in vogue. We hope some of the women on our email list will be able to join us! Notes: Our group was honest and transparent in our application. We applied with our names, as The Lesbian Rights Alliance Aotearoa and said we are “a new and growing lesbian group and we are starting to expand our events and social activities in Wellington.” Our application was accepted and our attendance at the event was publicly announced on the Out in the Park Facebook page. Our kaupapa has been publicly available online since 6 June 2018. The Police, Corrections and Young Nats will all have stalls at the event. Like this: Like Loading...

My mission in life is to not merely survive, but to thrive: and do so with passion, compassion, humor, and style. – Maya Angelou Menu Skip to content About Lexa Marriage Think Before You Speak Celebrating 26 Years of Marital Lessons What Really Matters In Relationships Fitness 7 Takeaways From My First Figure Competition Behind The Scenes Fair Trade holiday shopping 9 Comments Saturday, 8 December, 12 Lexa Sigh! Relief! Football season for my 10-year-old officially ended last Sunday. The season finished with my son playing on the offensive line representing the All-Star team for the West Division of our league. His team won against the East 25-6. The next day at the Banquet he won Defensive Lineman of the Year! We’re all smiles! All Star Player 12/2012 I took one week off to do nothing. Well, not quite nothing, but my actions felt like nothing compared to rushing off to practice 6-8 p.m. several nights a week. Today I was supposed to begin my holiday shopping. Well I did. Sorta kinda! I could not resist and bought for myself. Does that count? I attended a International Fair Trade Gift Fair at the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey. The event was hosted by the South Fair Trade Alliance and “builds social economic, social and environmental justice through Fair Trade.” The vendors are socially conscious, warm, friendly persons, who share a common passion of helping others. “Fair trade supports farmers and craftspeople in developing countries who are socially and economically marginalized. These producers lack economic opportunity and often face steep hurdles in finding markets and customers for their goods. Fair trade is much more than just trade. At the core of the fair trade model is a direct, cooperative, and in-depth relationship between buyers and sellers that keeps all of the principles of fair trade at the forefront.” –Fair Trade Federation The best part about the shopping experience at the Fair Trade Fair is that you learn while you shop! An abundance of literature is available at most tables, so if you take your kids with you, the shopping experience will be educational and enlightening. The vendors are socially and environmentally conscious, warm, friendly, knowledgable, and are dedicated to Fair Trade. Of course, I love the endless supply of unique, handmade, and cool merchandise for sale. I love dark chocolate and could not resist buying this treat. Original pieces like this zipper necklace is the reward for patronizing the Fair. I cannot wait to wear this one! Many of the jewelry pieces are made with natural and recycled materials. I was so excited at this vendor that I forgot to ask about these earrings. They are extremely light and rich in color. Ooh la la! Nag Champa oils and an assorted package of some of my favorite incense (Sandlewood, Patchouli, Nag Champa) and two new ones to try (Frankincense and white Rose). For nearly two years, I’ve been hooked on merchandise with the peace symbol, so I had to add this bracelet to my collection. Click here to learn more about the South Jersey Fair Trade.

Government appointee and social worker James Russelle Dumpson was born on April 5, 1909, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Dumpson received his B.A. degree in education from Temple University. He taught elementary school for two years before moving to New York City to work for the Children's Aid S...

Honing is a type of abrasive process typically used to finish the interior of a cylinder. Rather than using an abrasive wheel as in grinding, a hone uses several flat stones arranged around a mandrel that moves in and out of the hole. For vertical or horizontal honing, the tool reciprocates through the hole, while in a single-pass finishing system there may be an indexing table with tools of expanding width that each move through the hole once. Either way, the process is the same. Because honing is a slower process than grinding, heat and pressures are lower. This means that honing provides better size and geometry control. Hones are incredibly accurate and can finish a part to within 0.2 microns (the width of a bacterium). In fact, single-pass hones are so consistent and so accurate that they are usually not gaged. While honing may take longer than some grinding operations, it can also be done unattended. Single-pass hones tipped with diamond or CBN have incredibly long tool life. For answers to your questions or more information on honing machines call Liberty at 847-276-2761 or send us an email sales@libertymachinery.com. Liberty Machinery buys and sells all types of honing machines. We are your trusted source for high quality honing machines and other used equipment. Buy a Honing Machine Sell your Honing Machine View Honing Videos Process Description: How does it work? A honing machine is built to allow the hone to move properly. The hone can be oriented either vertically or horizontally. The hone itself consists of several abrasive stones of various materials attached to a mandrel. For vertical and horizontal hones, these stones are made to expand and contract as they move in and out of the workpiece. For single-pass hones, the part remains fixed. The hone is attached to a reciprocating cylinder that moves the hone in and out of the workpiece. Lubricant must be used. A rotary indexing table can change quickly between hones of different diameters and abrasiveness.

Summon provides access to millions of sources of all types (books, articles, audio, videos, images, etc.) on nearly any subject. Summon searches many, but not all, Oberlin College Libraries resources; comprehensive research should include subject databases. It searches the full text of some, but not all, Oberlin books, including books that Oberlin only owns in print. If you are looking for a specific book, film, or journal, use OBIS, our catalog. If you are looking for a specific journal article, use the Journal Finder. Summon also includes the collection of the Allen Memorial Art Museum as well as materials from other research centers and open access repositories. ? OBIS provides access to print and digital books, databases, audiovisual materials, journals, and course reserves. It is the best place to look up books, recordings, journals and films by title to determine if you can access an item through Oberlin. To see if Oberlin has access to an individual article, use the journal list. OBIS makes it easier to search by subject heading than Summon does, but it does not index the full-text of any books. In addition to books available at Oberlin through OBIS, patrons also have access to collections from a number of public, university, and college libraries in the state of Ohio through Oberlin College’s partnership with the OhioLink consortium and SearchOhio. ? The Databases A-Z list provides a complete alphabetical list of searchable databases accessible to you through the Oberlin College Libraries. The databases range from those that cover multiple subject areas, e.g. JSTOR or Web of Science, to more narrow research topics, e.g. SOCIndex. They contain both citations and full text for ebooks, peer reviewed journals, newspapers, magazines, data sets, images, music, primary documents, and more. You will want to use them for finding credible and scholarly materials required for your college research. If you are unsure which databases are best for your research topic try using the subject and type filters, consult a subject or course guide, Ask a Librarian or make a research appointment. ? The libraries provide access to course readings by utilizing the Course Reserves service.

Summon provides access to millions of sources of all types (books, articles, audio, videos, images, etc.) on nearly any subject. Summon searches many, but not all, Oberlin College Libraries resources; comprehensive research should include subject databases. It searches the full text of some, but not all, Oberlin books, including books that Oberlin only owns in print. If you are looking for a specific book, film, or journal, use OBIS, our catalog. If you are looking for a specific journal article, use the Journal Finder. Summon also includes the collection of the Allen Memorial Art Museum as well as materials from other research centers and open access repositories. Databases A-Z ? The Databases A-Z list provides a complete alphabetical list of searchable databases accessible to you through the Oberlin College Libraries. The databases range from those that cover multiple subject areas, e.g. JSTOR or Web of Science, to more narrow research topics, e.g. SOCIndex. They contain both citations and full text for ebooks, peer reviewed journals, newspapers, magazines, data sets, images, music, primary documents, and more. You will want to use them for finding credible and scholarly materials required for your college research. If you are unsure which databases are best for your research topic try using the subject and type filters, consult a subject or course guide, Ask a Librarian or make a research appointment. OBIS Catalog ? OBIS provides access to print and digital books, databases, audiovisual materials, journals, and course reserves. It is the best place to look up books, recordings, journals and films by title to determine if you can access an item through Oberlin. To see if Oberlin has access to an individual article, use the journal list. OBIS makes it easier to search by subject heading than Summon does, but it does not index the full-text of any books. In addition to books available at Oberlin through OBIS, patrons also have access to collections from a number of public, university, and college libraries in the state of Ohio through Oberlin College’s partnership with the OhioLink consortium and SearchOhio. Journal Finder ? The Oberlin College Libraries subscribe to many journals, newspapers, and magazines directly, and have access to many more through database platforms from providers including EBSCO, ProQuest, JSTOR, and many others. The Journal Finder lists in one place every print and e-journal available through both paid subscriptions and reputable open access platforms. Use the Journal Finder to track down a journal, to see if it’s available online, or to compare access across databases or subscription services. The Journal Finder will not allow you to search by article title to determine if Oberlin owns an item - you must use the full citation, including journal, magazine, or newspaper title and publication date to determine if Oberlin has access to an article. OhioLINK Catalog ? A virtual statewide library that displays information for items owned by OhioLINK libraries, a consortium of over 100 college, university and research libraries in Ohio. Items described include books, journals and periodicals, audiovisual materials, sound recordings, electronic resources, government documents, archives and manuscripts, maps and music scores. The catalog provides bibliographic descriptions and indicates where copies are located and whether or not copies are available. The OhioLINK Central Catalog allows for delivery of requested items to a member library of your choice. Terrell Main Library is Oberlin’s pickup location for OhioLINK items. OhioLINK's design allows you to transfer a search from our local library catalog, OBIS, to the OhioLINK combined catalog with the touch of a button. Likewise, a search can just as easily transfer from OhioLINK or OBIS to the public library network Search Ohio. WorldCat ? WorldCat contains more than 43 million records describing books and other items owned by libraries around the world. You can search for popular books, music CDs and videos—all of the physical items you're used to getting from libraries. You can also discover digital content, such as downloadable audiobooks. Use InterLibrary Loan to order materials that you locate on Worldcat. Research Guides General Purpose Guides Subject Guides ? Research guides are the gateway to library collections and resources. Created and maintained by Oberlin College & Conservatory reference and subject librarians, Guides by Subject are organized by their relevant subject areas to provide a detailed list of recommended scholarly sources, including: databases; internet and digital resources; and the libraries’ collections of books, journals, magazines, music, art, DVDs, etc. Guides also help you develop search strategies, cite sources and manage bibliographic references, and lead to a librarian who can provide further assistance. Subject guides are displayed alphabetically. Source Type Guides ? Oberlin College librarians have identified the best platforms for finding resources by source type, including newspapers, magazines, dissertations and theses, books, music, primary sources and more. Some guides also provide search tips and techniques. Course Guides ? Course Guides are organized collections of resources created for the research and information needs of students in specific courses. Research strategies and library services are also included.

EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO) and ByWater Solutions have expanded their relationship to ensure libraries adopting the FOLIO Library Services Platform (LSP) will be able to rely on hosting and services support. The agreement secures ByWater's commitment to provide FOLIO implementation and support services backed by EBSCO hosting technology and data services. ByWater Solutions has been recognized for its customer satisfaction in supporting library systems and is currently the largest service provider for the Koha Open Source Library System supporting more than 1,000 Koha libraries. ByWater Solutions co-owner and Chief Executive Officer Brendan Gallagher says the ByWater team will work with EBSCO to provide support for its libraries using FOLIO as their library services platform or looking to add FOLIO microservices or apps to their current systems. "Open source services allow libraries to save money on the technology and focus on service and customer support. By extending our expertise, and leveraging EBSCO's services, we expect to help libraries implement FOLIO and migrate libraries to the FOLIO LSP and provide ongoing support." EBSCO, which has supported FOLIO with funding, developers and project management as well as provided funding for Koha, will provide FOLIO hosting services and advanced software support as well as a compliment of data integration services. EBSCO Vice President of Services Product Management Ron Burns says these agreements give EBSCO the opportunity to create a high level of customer service standards. "As we move to the next phase, where beta sites are actively testing FOLIO, we want to ensure that service providers such as EBSCO and ByWater come together to create technical support structures, migration plans and implementation goals. As FOLIO becomes a reality, service providers are going to create the foundation needed to allow the adoption of open source systems and the expansion of FOLIO into multiple types and sizes of libraries." ByWater and EBSCO will be working together and with the FOLIO community to support the first libraries going live with FOLIO in 2019. Since being announced in June 2016, FOLIO has formed a community and librarians and developers have joined special interest groups that are actively creating an open source LSP that supports traditional resource management functionality that can be extended into emerging areas. FOLIO is being designed to be flexible to allow librarians to select the applications that best align with their workflow needs. The applications are modular and allow multiple vendors or libraries to contribute applications. Extensibility is an essential element allowing FOLIO to integrate with internal and external systems including university enterprise systems, institutional repositories, research management and discovery services. Development supports Linked Open Data to allow libraries to expand their reach and FOLIO provides scalability through multi-tenancy. The service will support all formats natively and is based on a central knowledgebase. More information is available at http://www.folio.org. About EBSCO Information Services EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO) is the leading discovery service provider for libraries worldwide with more than 11,000 discovery customers in over 100 countries.

Our highly ranked, comprehensive support is what sets our company apart from any other vendor in the industry. Partnering with ByWater Solutions for Koha or Folio support not only lowers the cost of implementing and maintaining an ILS, but more importantly empowers libraries by giving them the flexibility and freedom they deserve.

10 questions with Shelbourn Stevens, president of New Hanover Regional Medical Center and Novant Health’s Coastal Market. When officials in New Hanover County agreed to sell the publicly held New Hanover Regional Medical Center to Novant Health in 2020, they forged a dominant entity for healthcare delivery throughout the Cape Fear region. Novant operates the largest hospital in Brunswick County and many other local facilities. Amid all that, the COVID-19 pandemic hit the area, putting more stress on healthcare providers. With that in mind, we thought the timing was perfect to connect with Shelbourn Stevens to discuss healthcare in Brunswick County. Stevens was recently promoted to president of NHRMC and the coastal market, which includes oversight of Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center and Pender Memorial Hospital. For the eight years prior, he was president and chief operating officer of Brunswick Medical Center, the position he held when this email interview was conducted. Stevens, who lives in Supply, provided the following responses to my questions, and his responses have been lightly edited for space and style. 1. Can you tell us a little about yourself, including your hobbies and interests when you’re not at work? I grew up in Danbury, North Carolina, and started my career as a respiratory aide with Novant Health in 1990. While working full time, I received both my bachelor’s degree and an MBA. In 2012 I took over as president and chief operating officer at Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center. Outside of work and the COVID-19 pandemic, I like to travel. I learned to play piano when I was four, and I played every Sunday at the church I grew up in. Today, I still play and find it as my own form of personal therapy. 2. Now that Novant is operating New Hanover Regional Center, how does Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center fit into the picture going forward? New Hanover Regional Medical Center will become Novant Health’s flagship facility for the coastal market, which Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center will remain a part of, and leader of a regionally focused, integrated delivery network in southeastern North Carolina. New Hanover Regional Medical Center will be the local leader of the formative stages of this significant regional expansion strategy, enabling it to be a critical partner with substantial influence and resources as we jointly develop strategic plans. 3. Will Brunswick County residents be more likely or less likely to have to go to Wilmington to receive advanced or specialized medical services vs. remaining in Brunswick County? What specialty areas do you see expanding first in Brunswick County, if any? This partnership will bring a more seamless experience for Brunswick County residents should they need advanced or specialized care. Advanced and specialized care will primarily stay in New Hanover County, and the expanded UNC partnership will bring more access to care for our Brunswick County residents. Regarding the expansion timeline of specialty areas in Brunswick County, we are still working with local leadership and physicians to determine the critical needs of our community. 4. When you look at medical needs and services in Brunswick County, what community health issues concern you the most? What keeps you up at night? I think the one thing that keeps me up at night is making sure every single resident has access to remarkable care whenever they need it. We are a rural county with an older population that might need more specialized care. In some cases, they don’t have the means to travel to get their routine appointments to make sure their health is the best it can be. It’s something I constantly think about, and I am proud that Novant Health is making access to care a priority. 5. One of the controversial issues in Novant’s purchase of NHRMC was the decision to limit the $1.25 billion that moved to the New Hanover Community Endowment to only serve New Hanover County despite NHRMC’s regional footprint. Does this decision have an impact on Novant’s ability or commitment to support community needs and interests in Brunswick County? This partnership decision does not have an impact on our commitment to support Brunswick County’s needs. Residents in Brunswick County should be really excited about this partnership as it combines the best of both worlds with both Novant Health and New Hanover Regional Medical Center, while also expanding the affiliation with UNC Health and UNC School of Medicine. 6. We read about shortages of medical professionals like family doctors and nurses in many parts of the country. What’s the situation in Brunswick County, and in what areas of practices or occupations are we most deficient? Brunswick County is rapidly growing, and we are constantly evaluating the care our community needs most. Today, we see the most need for more providers in primary care, gastroenterology, neurology, behavioral health and pulmonology. 7. You were a hospital executive through this COVID-19 pandemic. How close did we come in Brunswick County to cases overwhelming the system and how did you feel your staff responded to all the challenges? When COVID-19 first started, we were concerned because our hospital serves a population that is high-risk for severe complications from the virus. But because we are part of a larger healthcare organization, we were able to adjust and plan as needed to accommodate for any potential surges we saw in cases to prevent overwhelming the system and our team members. I can’t say enough about our team members. I can’t thank each one of them enough for their selflessness and commitment to taking care of the community in such an uncertain and scary time for many. They have been moving at a sprint’s pace during the COVID-19 marathon and have not let up once in their dedication to our patients and community. 8. What are some of the most important lessons the community needs to learn from the COVID experience using your perspective as both a county resident and a hospital executive? I think the most important lesson the community can learn from the COVID-19 experience is that we really have to be open to listening and trusting our health officials in such a time of uncertainty. At the start, people were masked and listened to all of the guidelines but as time went on, masks started becoming less prevalent. I know people are tired of COVID-19 and no one could have expected us to be here one year later, but by listening to officials about preventive steps, including getting the COVID-19 vaccine, we can get out of this pandemic sooner and safely. 9. Running a hospital in Brunswick County must involve hurricane and disaster response. We’ve had several significant storms in recent years, and experts expect that trend to continue. What lessons have been learned and changes made from recent storms in terms of the hospital’s ability to respond to natural disasters? I think what I’ve learned most from both hurricanes and even COVID-19 is that you always have to be ready with a plan A, plan B and even a plan C. With natural disasters, you can never predict what will happen, so having the contingency plans in place helps the team members at Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center feel prepared to face what comes our way. 10. If you could “correct the record,” what are one or two of the biggest misconceptions you encounter about hospitals and healthcare in 2021 that people get from movies, TV or news media? I know that I’ve heard from some community members that they are afraid to go to clinics or the hospitals because they are worried about COVID-19. This means that people are forgoing important screenings or not coming into the emergency department when they should. Our environmental services teams at the hospitals and clinics are properly trained on how to disinfect rooms and supplies, and they continue to do a remarkable job throughout the pandemic. I encourage everyone to know that the hospitals and clinics are safe and to get care when they need it. Share: PreviousSummer on a Stick NextThe Need for Speed About The Author Dennis Hetzel Dennis Hetzel lives in Holden Beach where his firm, Fresh Angle Communications, provides writing, editing, marketing and government relations consulting. He’s a former reporter, editor, publisher, journalism professor, trade association executive and the author of two novels, “Killing the Curse” and “Season of Lies.” His new novel, “Azalea Bluff,” is set in Brunswick County.

Rachel Stroup was at a crossroads in her life. She had graduated from Lynchburg College and moved to Wilmington to live with her mom for the summer. While she had completed her degree in education, she was drawn to EMT work as well, having been part of the Lynchburg Life Saving crew while a student. So during a year working in the phlebotomy department at New Hanover Regional Medical Center, she spent time thinking about what she wanted to be. “I just thought a lot about what would make me happy for the rest of my life,” Stroup recalls. “I love the kids, I love fire and EMS, I love the kids…how am I going to work this out?” That’s when a patient told her that her gifts needed to be used in education and suggested The Roger Bacon Academy. Things happened quickly from there. At the start of the 2010 school year, Stroup found herself as a kindergarten teacher at the Columbus Charter School of The Roger Bacon Academy, where Steve Smith was the headmaster. She felt like she had come home. “I love the Charter school movement as a whole, but especially what The Roger Bacon Academy is doing,” she now explains. “They are providing so much support and individualized attention to the students.” Since 2010, Stroup has risen quickly and successfully in her field. She moved to the Leland school, Charter Day School, in July 2013. She was lead teacher of Kindergarten, won Teacher of the Year, was again lead teacher for Third Grade, and was a mentor teacher. She officially took the position of Assistant Headmaster of Charter Day School (a Title I school) for the 2016-17 school year, where she has loved her work. “I had shared my willingness to help teachers,” Stroup says. “That is essentially why I wanted to come into leadership: to help those teachers and to help the students. It wasn’t putting myself forward as a career move, it was ‘How can I expand from helping my class to the helping the bigger picture?'” But only the sky is the limit for Stroup, and in January 2018 she will move on to an even larger role. She has been named as the Dean of K-3 for the entire Roger Bacon Academy family, a total of four charter schools. Baker Mitchell, the founder of The Roger Bacon Academy, shares that, “Rachel brings a can-do attitude that we value highly. She is committed to excellence in all things, and has demonstrated her ability to make a positive impact.” In her new role, Stroup will continue to hold The Roger Bacon schools across the community to the curriculum standards she believes in, while also recognizing that each school is unique. “What my role is going to be is to make sure we are achieving the missions and the goals of the organization curriculum-wise (making sure I am setting the learning goals for each of the students at each of the schools in our community),” Stroup says. “We will have our overarching mission and goals to make sure The Roger Bacon Academy is consistent, but I will also be looking at each individual school and how we can tailor that to meet those students’ needs in those grade levels.” If it sounds like a lot of work, it is. Charter Day School alone had 965 students enrolled at the beginning of this school year, the largest yet. And the foundation of The Roger Bacon Academy is a focus on each student’s individualized plan. Stroup explains the process by which they keep data on each student and every four weeks teachers and curriculum coordinators meet to go over the students’ progress, making changes and adjustments as needed. Every year, the grade-level curriculum changes based on the students. This means that administrators like Stroup work hard to ensure that students feel successful, that school is a place they like to come, while also being challenged and achieving at grade level. Stroup certainly has her work cut out for her in her new role, but she is excited about the future. “My biggest thing is that there is no such thing as failure, there are only setbacks. And you just keep pushing forward. You have to be willing to learn, you have to have a positive attitude, and you have to be willing to take on challenges.” Her love for Roger Bacon Academy extends to her family, too. Her son, currently 4 years-old, will be starting at Charter Day School next fall and couldn’t be more excited. When asked where he wants to vacation, he asks to go to Charter Day School. As for Stroup, her ultimate decision to be a teacher and school dean when she grows up seems to be the right one.

Also: the Stealth came in two sizes, small and large. You must have a large frame bike. It is the older version of the bike Lightning currently sells under the name Phantom. I had a Stealth for many years and it was a great ride. Very similar to the more famous P38, but a little bit heavier and a lot less expensive.

As a young mom, many many years ago, I used to tell my children when they were in their tremendous twos and they would let go with a high pitched scream when they were unhappy, “Use your words, please.” As an Emeritus Dean of MBA programs, I rejuvenated (never say retired) in December 2012. So when I rejuvenated, I took a poetry course, and another and another. And there I was, telling myself “Use your words, please.” And so I did, and I do. And always for fun! And if other folks enjoy my words, well that’s all the more fun. I live in a highrise, right smack dab in the middle of Boston. I enjoy getting up with the sun, making a hot pot of coffee, sitting with pen in hand and coffee cup nearby, thinking, writing and reading before the city wakes up. In addition to writing, I enjoy traveling (so many amazing places have become my muse), knitting, watching my children as parents, and sharing every day with the love of my life these past 49+ years. I started this blog March 1, 2015. Who says you can’t teach an old dame new tricks??? 🙂 I’ve met so many amazing people and find myself chatting with folks from all over the globe. I joined the board of dVerse, a virtual pub for poets, in May 2016. A wonderful site where poets from literally around the world respond to prompts on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. I’ve had a number of poems published – which is icing on the cake: Cape Cod Muse in Provincetown Magazine, October 1, 2015 issue. 4 poems published at Poetry Breakfast: May 13, May 18 and May 31, 2016. Shadow published on One Sentence Poems, June 24, 2016. Tankas published in the Tanka Society of America’s Journals: Ripples in the Sand, 2016; and Ribbons, Fall 2017. Specs Assunder on One Sentence Poems, September 12, 2018. Farewell Provincetown in Provincetown Magazine, October 4, 2018. In March 2016, I was honored to read some of my poetry at Bermuda’s celebration of UNESCO World Poetry Day…and was invited to return in 2017 and 2018. Yep – I’m lovin’ rejuvenatement! (never say retirement) Lovin’ life — lovin’ sweets — game to try new things like chocolate bacon! And that’s me with the love of my life. We are thankful for every day!

A poster that my colleagues Sapna Prasad, Amy Hurst, Ravi Kuber, and I submitted to the ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS 2012) has been accepted! The poster, called “Participatory Design Workshop on Accessible Apps and Games with Students with Learning Disabilities,” reports on the participatory design workshop we ran in December with Landmark College students, which I previously posted about here and here. Here is the abstract: This paper describes a Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics (STEM) outreach workshop conducted with post-secondary students diagnosed with learning differences including Learning Disabilities (LD), Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorders (AD/HD), and/or Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). In this workshop, students were actively involved in participatory design exercises such as data gathering, identifying accessible design requirements, and evaluating mobile applications and games targeted for diverse users. This hands-on experience broadened students’ understanding of STEM areas, provided them with an opportunity to see themselves as computer scientists, and demonstrated how they might succeed in computing careers, especially in human-centered computing and interface design. Lessons learned from the workshop also offer useful insight on conducting participatory design with this unique population. You can see more information on this project and the workshop at the project website. Check out the paper here.

In a previous post, I mentioned that my colleagues at UMBC and Landmark College and I had an AccessComputing minigrant accepted for funding to run a “Participatory Design Workshop for Accessible Apps and Games” at Landmark, a small 2-year college in Vermont that serves students with learning and cognitive disabilities.In early December, we actually had the opportunity to run the workshop and it was a great success! The purpose of the workshop was to expose Landmark students to some of the basic principles of human-computer interaction, focusing on participatory design and taking into account user needs and characteristics when designing technology. UMBC students led the participatory design sessions on mobile apps and games they were designing as part of a current course project. Throughout the workshop, we noted that the Landmark students were very engaged and enjoyed the design activities very much. They were a group of kids with a technology-orientation (the course they were recruited from was a web design course), and heavily involved in playing video games. The apps we brought were gaming-oriented, if not full-fledged video games, and this aspect seemed to really appeal to the Landmark students. The UMBC students remarked on how much they learned about working with users in small participatory design groups as well. We look forward to maybe doing future versions of this workshop, or other collaborative activities with UMBC and Landmark students. You can find the information on the ongoing collaboration between Landmark and UMBC, as well as specifics about the event and some of the outcomes here (stay tuned for updates!).

My colleagues at UMBC and Landmark College and I recently had an AccessComputing minigrant accepted for funding to run a “Participatory Design Workshop for Accessible Apps and Games” at Landmark! Landmark College is a small 2-year college in Vermont that serves students with learning and cognitive disabilities. AccessComputing is a grant program administered by researchers at the University of Washington who received funding from the NSF to improve universal access to computing careers. Our workshop will take place over one day in the coming months, and will expose Landmark students to some of the basic principles of human-computer interaction. The workshop focuses on participatory design to show Landmark students how HCI takes into account user needs and characteristics when designing technology, even for diverse user populations such as themselves. Students from UMBC will also participate, leading the participatory design sessions to get user feedback on mobile apps and games they are designing as part of a current course project. We are really excited that we were funded and are looking forward to the workshop!

I'am a newer of SCIRun/BioPSE and just know what it is and how to use it. The most interested me is that the software give us a good selection to solve our project quickly, especiall for the bioelectronic problem. Now I want to try to use it in a demo modeling about external defibrillator, however there is a troublesome thing how I can complete the design of external concentric circles electrodes through the software, and import the BioPSE and merge it into an existing Utah Torso Model?

Buffering is a function of an underlying network library. CFNetwork buffers about 1K of data for content sniffing - it wants to provide a correct content type right away, even if it is wrong in HTTP headers. The solution is to dump a bunch of spaces first. - WBR, Alexey Proskuryakov Previous message: [webkit-dev] how to create a test that can perform actions while resources are still loading?

DESTINY BEYOND EARTH: INTERSTELLAR TRAVEL & IMMORTALITY WITH DR. MICHIO KAKU In Conversation with Alexis Madrigal » Buy Tickets | Buy Series Tickets | 415.392.4400 With his stunning debut novel, There There, Tommy Orange asks readers to examine their assumptions about who Native Americans are and how and where they live. The fierce and sorrowful novel grapples with the complex and painful history of a multigenerational Native American family living in Oakland, at once celebrating their rich spiritual heritage and illuminating the profound consequences of systematic discrimination. A recent graduate from the MFA program at the Institute of American Indian Arts, Orange is a member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes.

Is it possible to ovulate without a LH surge? No, it’s not possible to ovulate without a LH surge. That’s because LH is a hormone released by the pituitary gland and plays a fundamental role in the egg’s growth and maturation; a large burst of LH induces the release of a mature egg. Can you get pregnant without positive ovulation test? “It is possible to conceive successfully even if the ovulation test is negative. When this happens, ovulation occurred despite a negative ovulation test result; this is a special type of test failure called a ‘false negative,'” says Dr. Flisser. What happens if you don’t have an LH surge? If you have not ovulated during your testing days, you will not have detected the LH surge. It is probable that ovulation has not occurred. At times, women may experience an anovulatory cycle during which an egg is not released. Unfortunately, the best thing to do is to continue testing. How long does sperm wait for the egg? It takes about 24 hours for a sperm cell to fertilize an egg. When the sperm penetrates the egg, the surface of the egg changes so that no other sperm can enter. At the moment of fertilization, the baby’s genetic makeup is complete, including whether it’s a boy or girl. IT IS INTERESTING: Can babies ears go underwater in bath? What will an ovulation test say if pregnant? If you’re pregnant, you might get a faintly positive ovulation test that’s actually detecting hCG, not LH. This is more likely to be true the further along you are in pregnancy since your levels of hCG in urine will be higher. Can an ovulation test detect early pregnancy? They’re not meant to detect pregnancy and a positive ovulation test does not mean you’re pregnant — that’s what we have home pregnancy tests for! However, you may have heard about some women using their ovulation tests as a pregnancy test. How do I know if I am fertile enough to get pregnant? If your menstrual cycle lasts 28 days and your period arrives like clockwork, it’s likely that you’ll ovulate on day 14. That’s halfway through your cycle. Your fertile window begins on day 10. You’re more likely to get pregnant if you have sex at least every other day between days 10 and 14 of a 28-day cycle. Does high LH mean pregnancy? Will you have LH at all? No, LH surge does not remain elevated once pregnant. In fact, LH levels are really low during pregnancy (< 1.5 IU/L), and thus not active on end organs and tissues. How do you check if I am ovulating? Signs of ovulation to look out for Your basal body temperature falls slightly, then rises again. Your cervical mucus becomes clearer and thinner with a more slippery consistency similar to that of egg whites. Your cervix softens and opens up. You may feel a slight twinge of pain or mild cramps in your lower abdomen. IT IS INTERESTING: Can you use expired baby powder? Categories Motherhood Search for: About the author Hey!

How was your week? I spent most of the time on a super long Chinese webnovel (Guardian by priest) and studying for my Driving Theory exam! Which I passed! Yay! #5OnMyTBR is a bookish meme hosted by E. @ Local Bee Hunter’s Nook (me!) and you can learn more about it here or in the post announcing it. It occurs every Monday when we post about 5 books on our TBR. This week’s prompt is Books about Books! Anyway, I love The Starless Sea and The Binding so Books about Books is my jam! But I don’t know many of them so I also included books about bookclubs, librarians, and non-fiction. I kind of got lazy and instead of my thoughts, as always, I added GR synopsis but I’m doing it later than usual so forgive me. || The Library of the Unwritten by A.J. Hackwith || 💛 queer 💛 hell 💛 tracking down an escapee book character In the first book in a brilliant new fantasy series, books that aren’t finished by their authors reside in the Library of the Unwritten in Hell, and it is up to the Librarian to track down any restless characters who emerge from those unfinished stories. Many years ago, Claire was named Head Librarian of the Unwritten Wing—a neutral space in Hell where all the stories unfinished by their authors reside. Her job consists mainly of repairing and organizing books, but also of keeping an eye on restless stories that risk materializing as characters and escaping the library. When a Hero escapes from his book and goes in search of his author, Claire must track and capture him with the help of former muse and current assistant Brevity and nervous demon courier Leto. But what should have been a simple retrieval goes horrifyingly wrong when the terrifyingly angelic Ramiel attacks them, convinced that they hold the Devil’s Bible. The text of the Devil’s Bible is a powerful weapon in the power struggle between Heaven and Hell, so it falls to the librarians to find a book with the power to reshape the boundaries between Heaven, Hell … and Earth. || Meet Cute Club by Jack Harbon || 💛 m/m 💛 enemies to lovers 💛 bookclub Jordan Collins doesn’t need a man. What he needs is for his favorite author to release another one of her sexy supernatural novels and more people to sign up for the romance book club that he fears is slowly and steadily losing its steam. He also needs for the new employee at his local bookstore to stop making fun of him for reading things meant for “grandmas.” The very last thing he needs is for that same employee, Rex Bailey, to waltz into his living room and ask to join Meet Cute Club. Despite his immediate thoughts—like laughing in his face and telling him to kick rocks—Jordan decides that if he wants this club to continue thriving, he can’t turn away any new members. Not even ones like Rex, who somehow manage to be both frustratingly obnoxious and breathtakingly handsome. As Jordan and Rex team up to bring the club back from the ashes, Jordan soon discovers that Rex might not be the arrogant troll he made himself out to be, and that, like with all things in life, maybe he was wrong to judge a book by its cover. || Unhallowed by Jordan L. Hawk || 💛 m/m 💛 librarians 💛 enemies to lovers Monsters. Murder. Librarians. Librarian Sebastian Rath is the only one who believes his friend Kelly O’Neil disappeared due to foul play. But without any clues or outside assistance, there’s nothing he can do to prove it. When bookbinder Vesper Rune is hired to fill the vacancy left by O’Neil, he receives an ominous letter warning him to leave. After he saves Sebastian from a pair of threatening men, the two decide to join forces and get to the truth about what happened to O’Neil. But Vesper is hiding secrets of his own, ones he doesn’t dare let anyone learn. Secrets that grow ever more dangerous as his desire for Sebastian deepens. Because Kelly O’Neil was murdered. And if Sebastian and Ves don’t act quickly enough, they’ll be the next to die. || Inseparable: Desire Between Women in Literature by Emma Donoghue || 💛 non-fiction 💛 lesbian subtext & text 💛 literary criticism From a writer of astonishing versatility and erudition, the much-admired literary critic, novelist, short-story writer, and scholar (“Dazzling”—The Washington Post; “One of those rare writers who seems to be able to work on any register, any time, any atmosphere, and make it her own” —The Observer), a book that explores the little-known literary tradition of love between women in Western literature, from Chaucer and Shakespeare to Charlotte Brontë, Dickens, Agatha Christie, and many more. Emma Donoghue brings to bear all her knowledge and grasp to examine how desire between women in English literature has been portrayed, from schoolgirls and vampires to runaway wives, from cross-dressing knights to contemporary murder stories. Donoghue looks at the work of those writers who have addressed the “unspeakable subject,” examining whether such desire between women is freakish or omnipresent, holy or evil, heartwarming or ridiculous as she excavates a long-obscured tradition of (inseparable) friendship between women, one that is surprisingly central to our cultural history. Donoghue writes about the half-dozen contrasting girl-girl plots that have been told and retold over the centuries, metamorphosing from generation to generation. What interests the author are the twists and turns of the plots themselves and how these stories have changed—or haven’t—over the centuries, rather than how they reflect their time and society. Donoghue explores the writing of Sade, Diderot, Balzac, Thomas Hardy, H. Rider Haggard, Elizabeth Bowen, and others and the ways in which the woman who desires women has been cast as not quite human, as ghost or vampire. She writes about the ever-present triangle, found in novels and plays from the last three centuries, in which a woman and man compete for the heroine’s love . . . about how—and why—same-sex attraction is surprisingly ubiquitous in crime fiction, from the work of Wilkie Collins and Dorothy L. Sayers to P. D. James. Finally, Donoghue looks at the plotline that has dominated writings about desire between women since the late nineteenth century: how a woman’s life is turned upside down by the realization that she desires another woman, whether she comes to terms with this discovery privately, “comes out of the closet,” or is publicly “outed.” She shows how this narrative pattern has remained popular and how it has taken many forms, in the works of George Moore, Radclyffe Hall, Patricia Highsmith, and Rita Mae Brown, from case-history-style stories and dramas, in and out of the courtroom, to schoolgirl love stories and rebellious picaresques. A revelation of a centuries-old literary tradition—brilliant, amusing, and until now, deliberately overlooked. || How to Read Literature Like a Professor: A Lively and Entertaining Guide to Reading Between the Lines by Thomas C. Foster || 💛 non-fiction 💛 academic 💛 literary criticism While many books can be enjoyed for their basic stories, there are often deeper literary meanings interwoven in these texts. How to Read Literature Like a Professor helps us to discover those hidden truths by looking at literature with the eyes—and the literary codes—of the ultimate professional reader: the college professor. What does it mean when a literary hero travels along a dusty road? When he hands a drink to his companion? When he’s drenched in a sudden rain shower? Ranging from major themes to literary models, narrative devices, and form, Thomas C. Foster provides us with a broad overview of literature—a world where a road leads to a quest, a shared meal may signify a communion, and rain, whether cleansing or destructive, is never just a shower—and shows us how to make our reading experience more enriching, satisfying, and fun. Last thought! What Books about Books have you read?? Again, I read and loved The Starless Sea and The Binding (both for different reasons) but I need MORE!! Preferably gay ones! Do you participate in #5OnMyTBR? Do you have any of those on your TBR? Have you read them maybe? (Make me read them then!!) [icons] Like this: Like Loading...

It sounds so good! I think Meet Cute Club also has great potential, but I’ve honestly never read romance before. This is a great list; I love how this meme introduces everyone to new books that on the same topic. LikeLiked by 1 person Reply E. @localbeehuntersnook says: 29 September 2020 at 13:25 Yay!

Her genre of choice is fantasy but everything that catches her attention is welcome. Beside reading, she spends her time on writing, painting, and trying to befriend local cats and bees. She is always tired and anxious but she really tries so forgive her. Her ultimate goal in life is befriending mystical forest beings but writing & translating some books would be cool too.

I caught the travel bug in 2008 when I went overseas for the very first time at the ripe old age of 21. It was to Thailand with my friend, and we spent two glorious weeks travelling around the country, taking in the sights, smells and tastes of Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Phuket. We went to Bali the following year, and my passion for travel grew even stronger. Nusa Lembongan, Bali While Southeast Asia is beautiful and exciting, we knew we wanted to venture to Europe on our next overseas adventure. I’ve always been good at saving money, but my friend, less so. So after talking about going to Italy for over a year, and with my friend’s bank balance struggling to grow, I made the decision to go it alone. A solo traveller was born! Since then, I’ve travelled to 14 countries on my own, and have come to realise that travelling solo is actually my preferred way to travel. Solo travel is so rewarding, but it comes with its challenges. Here are five things I’ve learnt from travelling the world solo . . . 1. I am so much stronger and more capable than I thought This is the big one. While I knew I wasn’t some useless weakling dependent upon others for my very survival, I didn’t realise just how capable and independent I could be when put to the test. Navigating foreign airports and transport systems, communicating without knowledge of the language, making decisions about where to stay/eat/sight-see, being aware of your surroundings and personal items, it all takes a lot of energy, Milford Sound, New Zealand organisation and determination. And, believe it or not, it was all so much easier than I thought. It’s funny how self-reliant I’ve become, even in my day-to-day life at home, preferring to figure things out on my own rather than relying on someone else to swoop in and help. Travelling alone promotes you to a level of independence that even Destiny’s Child would be proud of! 2. I like my own company Being an introvert, this was something that was less realised, and more affirmed. I already knew that I enjoyed spending time on my own and never craved the company of others, but I was still apprehensive about whether I could cope with being completely on my own, in a foreign country, with no familiar faces to keep me company. I was worried I’d get lonely, or that the things I experienced and the sights I saw wouldn’t be as special because I didn’t share them with anyone. Well, I needn’t have been concerned. Being on your own gives you time to really soak in the experiences you have, to reflect on your day, to savour moments that you don’t have to share, that are made just for you. And if you do feel like some company, then there are plenty of apps/social media sites that help you find other travellers in your area, or you can simply strike up a conversation with people at a bar, or join a communal table that many cafes and restaurants have these days (in parts of Europe, communal tables are everywhere. I found this particularly the case in Germany, so pull up a seat and make some new friends!) 3. I have an excellent sense of direction Before I set out on my own, I was the kind of person who happily followed along as my Narrow streets of Rome friends navigated the way through airports, train stations and foreign cities. I actually came to believe that I had a terrible sense of direction because I could never figure out the way back from anywhere. But I didn’t have a terrible sense of direction, I was lazy. I let my friends to all the hard work and I just followed along blindly. I had no idea how we’d gotten to the restaurant/market/beach so I sure as hell couldn’t find my way back! But on my first solo adventure I realised I didn’t suck at navigating, I was actually quite good at it! Scoping out destinations on Google Maps and then roaming around foreign cities like a pro, AND finding my way back again, made me feel like I could handle anything. Sure, I’ve gotten myself lost plenty of times too, but that’s how you find the hidden treasures of a city that are off the well-worn tourist paths! 4. Airports are designed to be easily navigated This one might seem like a bit of a “duh!” but having never flown overseas (or anywhere, for that matter) until I was in my 20’s, one of the biggest causes of my pre-travel anxiety was navigating airports on my own. I mean, they’re huge, they’re crowded, and if I get lost I could potentially miss my flight and my holiday would be ruined. But, funnily enough, I realised that (most) airports are actually pretty darn easy to navigate. Almost like they’re designed that way 😉 Also, if you’re an English speaker, or have a pretty decent grasp on the language, then you’ll be fine, as every sign in (nearly) every airport is written in English as well as the local language, meaning you will have no trouble figuring out where to go. And if you do get lost, airport staff are usually always extremely helpful. (This realisation also applies to train stations!) 5. I’ll (probably) never be happy staying in one place I’m sure that one day, when I’m old and grey, the thought of packing up all my things and putting them in storage so I can gallivant around the world, will be less appealing than it is right now. But, that’s something future me can deal with. Right now, the thought of Look at that happy face! being in the one place for any longer than two years gets me down; it makes me yearn for faraway places that I’m yet to experience and for adventures I’m yet to have. Travelling solo has given me an insight into the person I am when I’m free and happy and curious about the world, and this is in stark contrast to the person I am when I’m at home and at work, where I feel tired and restless and trapped. Travelling gives me new life, new energy and new outlooks on the world, things that I can’t achieve if I stay in one place and continue to live the day-to-day monotony. If you feel the same, if travelling is your passion, your dream, your purpose in life, don’t let anything hold you back – you can do it: solo travel is for everyone!

I’m currently planning a trip with a friend, and I actually feel more anxious than when I plan solo trips.

Both types of travel have their pros and cons though 😊 LikeLiked by 1 person Reply quibblesandscribbles says: 25th Feb 2019 at 1:14 am The one thing holding me back from solo traveling (even if it’s somewhere a few hours away) are my parents. I know I’m an adult and can literally go whenever but in the back of my mind I know they’ll worry. I guess the anxiety has a bit of a part of that too but I feel like once I do it the first time, I’ll love it.

I also worry that if something happens to her and I’m on the other side of the world then there’s nothing I can do. But, we can’t live our lives being held back by others, even our parents. One day we’ll regret not getting out there and experiencing the world. And as much as they worry, our parents want us to be happy, and would hate to be the reason that we didn’t live our lives to the fullest xx LikeLiked by 1 person Reply GetUpGetAway says: 25th Feb 2019 at 5:39 am Ahh, I wish I was as confident as you to travel alone!

I think baby steps are the key to feeling confident enough to travel alone. My first two trips were with a friend, then my first solo trip was with a Contiki tour, so although I was by myself, I was always with people and made some great friends I still have today. Maybe joining a tour is a good way for you to ease into solo travel without feeling completely alone and terrified! Or start off with domestic trips where you’re not far from home to give you a sense of home comfort. I hope you get to experience it one day, there’s a whole world out there waiting for you!

I guess it’s just the fear of having to rely only on yourself, but that’s actually what makes you stronger. It also makes you more open to people, I think, cause every time I go somewhere on my own, I meet lots of new friends. I travel a lot on my own (usually on business), and I’ve got so used to it that now it’s difficult to go somewhere with someone else 🙂 LikeLike Reply loveshetravels says: 3rd Mar 2019 at 9:24 am Lots of people don’t like doing many things on their own, like going to the movies or to a restaurant – anything that’s seen as a social thing I guess. But doing these things builds your confidence and allows you to enjoy the experience for what it is.

The last time I decided to pack everything up and travel overseas indefinitely was in 2016 when I moved to Vietnam to teach English. And since returning home after eight months abroad, there’s been one thing on my mind: when can I do it again?! But of course, leaving everything behind and flying off to an unknown land requires some level of planning and preparation – unless you’re totally comfortable ‘winging it’, which I am not. So, for the past two years I’ve been a ‘proper adult’ – you know, get a real job, find a place to live, etc, etc – and now I’m done! This version of life is not for me! And that’s why in a few months’ time I will once again be leaving my job, packing up and storing my stuff (thanks mum!), and venturing overseas for another indefinite adventure. Teaching English in Hanoi, Vietnam Unlike the majority of my previous adventures, I won’t be doing this one alone. My best friend has decided that she too needs to see the world and we’re going to see it together. And because we want to be able to travel for as long as possible we’re planning to do it as cheaply as possible, but still in relative comfort (so no 16 bed mixed dorms with shared bathrooms, thanks). And what’s the biggest expense, other than airfares? Accommodation! So we’ll be using three awesome platforms (Airbnb*, Workaway, and HouseSit Match) that will allow us to travel and stay in some amazing places for next to nothing, and in some cases, actually nothing! So what does my Best Year Yet look like, you ask? Well, the first few months will be spent picking up as much work (as a substitute teacher) as possible to put as much money into the travel kitty as possible. Then, in April, we’re off! First stop – Athens! There are some really affordable Airbnbs in and around the centre of Athens (we’ve managed to nab one for just $30 a night) that will serve as a handy base for five days exploring this ancient capital. After being a tourist for nearly a week, it’ll be time to move on to our next experience as Workaway volunteers in a cat sanctuary in a regional area south of Athens. If you’re not a cat lover then you probably can’t relate to our excitement about doing this, but bear with me! For two weeks we will be responsible for feeding, cleaning, and snuggling a menagerie of furry critters that have been rescued from the streets, nursed back to full health, and then hopefully adopted by loving new families. Bliss! In our free time we plan to explore as much as we can – my bucket list includes Santorini, Paros, Corfu and Meteora! Santorini, pixabay.com Meteora, pixabay.com After three weeks in Greece, my friend and I will go our separate ways for a month as I go gallivanting across to Italy for my second Workaway experience, this time living with a family in the small town of Galliate, near Milan. This is my dream! Living like a local, experiencing life well away from the tourist trail, in my favourite country – to say I’m excited would be an understatement! My role will simply be to spend time with the family (mum, dad, and three kids), help them with their English (and improve my Italian) and basically provide them with a cultural exchange. I think I can manage that! Milan Cathedral Then, in June I’ll meet back up with my friend and head to . . . we don’t know yet! Maybe Albania? Or Macedonia? Or Croatia? Wherever we want! We’ll keep applying for Workaway positions and see what opportunities arise. Because that’s the point, isn’t it? To seize opportunities, say yes to new experiences, to not have everything so rigidly mapped out that you miss out on the true joy of travelling? I think so. Stay tuned for updates as more of our trip comes together! And remember to follow me on social media for photos and snippets of our adventures!

I travel frequently to Spain to visit my grandparents who moved there and for the longest time that was enough to satisfy me. I was itching to buy a house and settle down in the vicinity of where I grew up. Suddenly, though, I have gotten a travel bug! I was recommend the site work away and have spent hours just scrolling through the various opportunities all over the world and can’t believe I didn’t know about it sooner. It’s so interesting reading about all the different lifestyles that are out there and I hope to be immersed in them sooner rather than later.

Our topic today, dear reader, emanates from the title of an old movie, that dealt with alcoholism as a public issue in the way that we once dealt with all public issues. We made a movie. We no longer make movies, instead we make cartoons. Cartoons about alcoholism would probably not be taken too seriously, so that means that we have to deal with our less pleasant issues from an entirely new visage. Frodo watched as the gallant Braves were shut out for both of the baseball games played with the Orioles from Baltimore. The Braves are never shut out two games in a row. Perhaps such an uncommon occurrence is what started this downward spiral on the weekend now past? Frodo is fearful of such thought since it makes him sound a bit like the late and oft-lamented Andy Rooney. Frodo has previously written of his admiration for all things Grecian, so it is unsurprising that the continual clatter leading up to their most recent election held him spellbound. Since Frodo leans heavily to the left, it was very uncharacteristic for him to root for the right-wingers in this instance. Stability in the financial markets, reflecting well upon the efforts of the current American administration however, add significantly to the likelihood of victory before the Dark Gate. On the other hand, we watch with sheer disdain over the pending transmittals from those who now sit where once those who returned Dred Scott to slavery once sat. With an expectation of equal stupidity, Frodo anticipates the Affordable Care Act to drip through the fingers of justice as if it were but one more hanging chad, or another "Super Pac" filling Romney's mind with visions of sugar plums. This is the worst Court, ever. The Shire has also been invaded by dueling riding lawn mowers on either side of Frodo's residence therein. Appropriate it is, he supposes, that these monstrosities should appear within minutes of each other on this the fortieth anniversary of the movie that introduced "Dueling Banjos" to all the world. Likely it is that this is merely a cyclical presentation of Frodo's opening thought, i.e. movies have been replaced by cartoons, since a great movie like "Deliverance" (which that same year lost "Best Picture" to "The Godfather") is compared to two overweight, middle-aged men, on riding lawnmowers. It certainly gives a more vibrant reference to the dialogue therein, reference Ned Beatty and "Squeal like a pig." Frodo may not be Andy Rooney, but there are times when he feels like Twain.

As only the NYC Press can do, Throneberry, who was prone to an error-filled performance throughout his career, became a crowd favorite because of his miscues. As the anti-hero, who never stopped trying to be good, he became famous as "Marvelous Marv." He also had a brother in MLB, Faye, Throneberry, of course. In June of 1944, a young American fighter pilot was shot down and killed near the small town of Las Ventes, in France. His widow, in Oklahoma, received the obligatory letter from the appropriate sources, informing her of his death, and the promise of additional information. That promise, unfortunately, was not kept. As late as 2005, the widow, who never re-married, communicated with her Congressperson, Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-TX), seeking any additional information about the demise of her husband. The obviously distraught Congressperson communicated by letter and informed the widow that there was no new data regarding the status of her MIA. A relative of the widow found that hard to believe, and picked up the telephone. It took merely a few days to learn that the young pilot lies buried in the American Cemetery in Normandy, and that he has been there for years, after his body was transferred from its original burial site in Las Ventes. It was also learned that the town square in Las Ventes is named for the young hero, who died to help save the town of Las Ventes, France, and the whole damn world for that matter. In Las Ventes, there is a wreath-laying ceremony, every year, going back to the very end of the War, for this young man, the husband of our heroine. She has, at the invitation of the village, visited, and was escorted to both his present burial site as well as the very spot where her late husband crashed. Congressperson Thornberry has written a letter of apology. He and his office have refused to make any public statement, and there has been no further communication with the widow. Congressperson Thornberry, Frodo adds, chairs the House ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE. The widow has stated that she has forgiven Congressperson Thornberry. Frodo has taken great libertyin the past with his disapproval of all things Texan. It should go without saying that there is a sense of outrage which Frodo truly hopes becomes evident to Congressperson Thornberry. It is the incompetence in acts such as this which unite Americans in their dismay toward the Congress of the United States. Frodo, admittedly, is not nearly as gracious as the heroine herein, but he would be satisfied if there is at least one Texan who votes in the upcoming election against "Marvelous Mac" for the single reason that he didn't even try to do a good job.

Edwin Moses, Hershall Walker, Secretariat, and Muhammad Ali are four random names that deserve consideration, although another objective observer may omit all of Frodo's suggestions for various reasons. One of the reasons just might deal with the issue of national service. "I ain't got nothin' against them Cong" were the words formulated by he once known as Cassius Clay after adopting the Islamic Faith and the name, Muhammad Ali. The words were mouthed once it became clear that the United States Government was going to prosecute him for failure to enter military service. Ali's barristers argued that his newly-adopted religious consciousness prevented him from taking arms. Ali's action resulted in both the administrative loss of his title as "Heavyweight Champion of the World," and his subsequent imprisonment. Once his punishment was served, Ali returned to the ring and won back the championship title. He truly became, as a result of his actions, the most famous man in the world. It was Ali, standing alone, who lit the Olympic Torch in order to open the 1996 Summer Games, in Atlanta. Frodo waxes on the transition from athletics to conscience because of the price that Ali paid for his beliefs. At the time, even Frodo believed that he deserved to be stripped of his title, and punished for failing to bear arms in service to the nation that gave him, in spite of massive countercurrents, the path to greatness. Now, Frodo feels otherwise. Ali was targeted for racial and religious reasons. His perceived arrogance was a major frustration for the Luddite elements of his time. This Frodo truly believes. For how else can one explain the fact that Willard Mitt Romney failed to bear arms in service to his country and received no penalty or prosecution for his religious consciousness? Romney, as most know, received "deferrals" in order to serve as a "missionary." Perhaps this was Romney's way of saying that he "didn't have anything against them Cong," either? There is no doubt that Muhammad Ali was a greater athlete than Willard Mitt, as there is certainly an absence of argument to the fact that he is a better citizen and champion of his beliefs. Just ask the Romney off-spring, who serve no one. The apple, it seems, does not fall far from the tree. Posted by loveysdaddyga at 11:23 AM EDT Share This Post Post Comment | Permalink Saturday, June 2, 2012 In My Midnight Confessions Mood: irritated Topic: "Land Ho"(8) Richard Land is a corpulent, flatulent, obsequious, sorry-ass excuse for anything beyond the definition of what was once affectionately referred to as a "turd blossom." Frodo is not alone in his revulsion for the "ethics chief" of the Southern Baptist Convention, especially after Land was caught in the act of plagiarism. Richard Land accused the President of the United States, and other black leaders, of shamefully exploiting the death of Trayvon Martin for purely political gain. Now, Frodo does not decry anyone's opinion, even when subjectively incorrect, as long as it adds to the judicial discourse between people who respect one another. In the case of Mr. Land however, it is clear that he may have to refer back to the spelling lesson offered by Aretha Franklin in order to project any level of respectful dialogue. Mr. Land's opinion and attack on the President it seems, was copied word-for-word from an editorial in the WASHINGTON TIMES. An editorial in which Mr. Land was not a contributor. This overweight, obnoxious, belligerent, cowardly piece of crap did not have the courage, much less the moral compass to formulate his own words. To the credit of the "Board of Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission," of which he is Chairman, Land was reprimanded and his radio show was canceled. Now he should be fired. And that is the opinion of one Hobbit who is worried about anyone losing a job, except for a liar. Wouldn't it be great if David Gregory had the balls to bring the toad onto "Meet the Press," and offer him some grape juice? Posted by loveysdaddyga at 8:57 PM EDT Share This Post Post Comment | Permalink Thursday, May 24, 2012 You Lay Your Bets And You Take Your Chances Mood: blue Topic: "Pulitzer Means Squat"(8) Frodo sat down with Mr. Charles Ferguson, Editor of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, and discussed the impact of political endorsements by a major metropolitan newspaper. Since this was the theme of Frodo's Master's Thesis, he was hoping to discover that Ferguson was a hack, on somebody's payroll, and that Frodo would win a Pulitzer Prize for his investigative effort therein. Frodo learned that Ferguson was a Neiman Fellow, and an Honors Graduate of Harvard University. He was also a good guy, a brilliant journalist, and somebody who loved the City of Orleans just as much as the Hobbit. Frodo thought of Mr. Ferguson this day. It was announced yesterday that the New Orleans Times-Picayune would only be hard-copy published three times each week. The City is now the only, but perhaps merely the first, major metropolitan market in all of Middle Earth to be without a daily newspaper. Surely, the powers that be are strenuous in their argument that on-line publishing will be constant, and that the flow of information will be instantaneous, but that does not satisfy the Hobbit at all. The New Orleans Times Picayune won a Pulitzer Prize for its 2006 reporting of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Without power, water, or public services nearly the entire staff stayed at their desks, answered questions, and sought answers. They were notified, after the fact, yesterday, that nearly all of them will either lose their jobs, or have their work-hours significantly reduced. The New Orleans States-Item, the afternoon daily newspaper, was acquired by the Times-Picayune several years ago. The States-Item was the only major metropolitan newspaper to endorse George McGovern for the Presidency in his race against Richard Nixon. Now a Pulitzer Prize winning newspaper, and the subordinate segment which first saw the devil in that drawing room are changed, if not something totally different. Frodo is well-known, and oft-quoted, for his proclamation that "Change is Good." He wonders however, in this case, if he isn't witness to the creation of merely another 24-hour cable news network. Could there be another whole group of attractive talking-heads out there, eager to make a name for themselves by seeing which can yell the loudest, or speak over the conversation most often, to further separate the citizen from any level of interest in the community in which they all live? Perhaps that gentleman at the table in the back of the bar, sipping a glass of single-malt, is thinking about that graduate student he once met, wondering whatever happened to him. Ferguson probably hopes that the Hobbit went on to become a personal care physician, in Taiwan.

A single lifetime, even though devoted entirely to the sky, would not be enough for the investigation of so vast a subject. . .And so this knowledge will be unfolded only through long successive ages. There will come a time when our descendants will be amazed that we did not know things that are so plain to them. . .Many discoveries are reserved for ages still to come, when memory of us will have been effaced. Out universe is a sorry little affair unless it has in it something for every age to investigate. . .Nature does not reveal her mysteries once and for all."--From the first century, Book 7 of 'Natural Questions' authored by he known as Seneca. The United Federation of Planets it was which Frodo accepted as that beyond his time, which would go where no man has gone before. Surely, it would be a governmental body, lead by its best and its brightest soldiers and scientists, who would unite in the conquest of the 400 billion stars that comprise the Milky Way. To his great embarrassment, the Hobbit made an assumption too big to fail. Armstrong and Cernan were among those who testified before the Congress of the United States (certainly a come-down from the United Federation of Planets) in order to maintain the status quo of NASA and the superiority of Middle Earth in Space. In the end, it was the resources of a South African named Musk who, though chagrined by his heroes and their opposition to his private enterprise that won the day, and set a non-governmental business to the forefront of the cosmos. It is as we have become. The incentive for exploration can no longer simply be in the search for truth, it requires that there be investors, who seek a return, and that all effort be driven by their motive. Perhaps Columbus, appearing before the crowned heads felt much the same way, knowing that he would have to return with something of value, as well as an opening to the future of all mankind. Still, it will be oh so strange to see the surface of Mars, and the logo of Lockheed where our flag might have been. Engage.

In the interim, he has another visit to another cemetery on the agenda, and it isn't that far away. The British Cemetery at Ocracoke, North Carolina, is 2,290 square feet of British territory on American soil. HMS Bedfordshire, a fishing trawler converted to an escort ship for convoy duty, was sunk by the German U-558 on May 11, 1942, and the entire crew was lost. Three days later, bodies began to wash ashore at Ocracoke. More than 400 ships were lost to German U-Boats during those dreadful days in the first six months of 1942. Returning the crew of the Bedfordshire to their own Shire was not possible. The crew was buried in a corner of the Ocracoke cemetery, and the land was later deeded to the Commonwealth War Grave Commission. Technically, the crew was buried on home ground. The grounds are maintained by the US Coast Guard, and the "Union Jack" flies, proudly, over her sons. Twice, British and Americans fought on the soil in which these men now rest. A lot to think about for the Hobbit.

The passing of Donna Summer was perhaps noted in a truly bizarre manner by a lady walking on the beach, who happened to stop and pick up a few colorful stones and place them in her pants pocket. Suddenly, she was on fire. Frodo is certainly familiar with hot pants, and he is not so old that he fails to recall the sheer joy involved in the downing of a pair of pants. Especially, hot pants. Geologists have examined the stones and determined that one was laced with phosphorous, and that the resulting friction with another stone in the pants pocket of the unfortunate surfside stroller lit the rock as if it were, and it certainly was, a match. Fortunately, her husband was nearby and the pants removal was ably performed within the ideological confines of even the Southern Baptist Convention. The bad news is that the lady suffered third-degree burns and is confined to a hospital for at least a week. Frodo is of two minds. In the first case Frodo notes that no scientist or medical practitioner has stepped forward to note that anything like this has ever happened before. Military officials have also flatly denied that the rock could've been artificially created at their facility. The possibility exists therefore that this lady could truly be, well, hot. It could also be the case that this is just one more episode in the on-going Republicant "War on Women." Posted by loveysdaddyga at 10:31 PM EDT Share This Post Post Comment | Permalink Sunday, May 13, 2012 Rainy Days And Mondays Always Get Me Down Mood: crushed out Topic: "Mick's Day"(8) Fifteen years ago, on this very day, Mother's Day, Mick, the Wonder Dog, was among a legion of puppies introduced onto this small, blue planet. Several weeks later only two of the Australian Shepherd-Border Collie mix remained under the direct supervision of their mother. His sibling was nearly all white, with black splotches, while Mick, the Wonder Dog, was just the opposite. It is likely that the dwindling number of playmates was weighing heavily on his mind. Possible it is that he was concerned about ever being adopted into a world of his own making. Perhaps that is why he took note of Frodo's visit to the garage that had always been his home, and why he scampered to the Hobbit and promptly sat down on his foot, as if he were saying "Where the Hell have you been and why did it take so long, but no matter, let's go for a ride in your motorcar." So it began. Today, again on Mother's Day, Mick, the Wonder Dog, begins every day with the same fervor and sense of purpose that guided him toward that worn-out sneaker upon the foot of a Hobbit a near lifetime ago. Their adventures together have been chronicled far and wide, and near strangers frequently ask of him whenever the Hobbit is found in transit, alone. Frodo explains that a second stage cancer, the pulling of eleven teeth, and the recent demise of his lifelong playmate, Princess Fiona, have weakened the endurance of his noble companion. Usually, Frodo adds that it is now time for the post-breakfast nap, the pre-luncheon nap, the pre-dinner nap, or the post-dinner nap. Truth it is that Frodo speaks, for his companion is unable to tarry long on paths well-travelled in days gone by. Strength is preserved to serve the toothless smile, and the familiar nose-to-the-crotch of a Hobbit, his favorite game. Mick, the Wonder Dog, has developed a fondness for a handfull of dry Cheerios in the early morning. Samwise mixes an egg into his dinner every afternoon. Properly tuned with more recommended culinary input, the Wonder Dog has good appetite, evacuates healthily, and occasionally leaps a few steps toward the Hobbit as if to say let's go for another ride in that motorcar. Frodo relishes these days and small matters of routine. It is when it is rainy, and perhaps a bit cool, however, when the Hobbit is struck by moments of melancholy. Such days are preferred by the Wonder Dog, since hot weather is something endured by one with a heavy coat. Doctor Porsches, the wealthy veterinarian, counseled Frodo that Mick, the Wonder Dog, for the first time in his life, has become the Alpha. He has recommended that Frodo add to the menagerie of the Shire only when he is sure that such an addition would not add to the emotional baggage carried by one whose psychological status is partially responsible for his strong heart, and his continuing struggle for normalcy. Frodo agrees. So Frodo goes on walks alone most days, but he doesn't stop talking to his old friend. Rainy days are just days for thinking about such things. Posted by loveysdaddyga at 12:19 PM EDT Share This Post Post Comment | View Comments (1) | Permalink Friday, May 11, 2012 I've Forgotten What I Started Fighting For Mood: on fire Topic: "ERA" Bilbo was very fond of reminding Frodo that "What goes around, comes around." When the Equal Rights Amendment failed, by the slimmest of margins, to win acceptance by the requisite number of States, Bilbo soothed the torn emotions of the Hobbit with those favored words. Frodo thought that was bullshit. How, he wondered, could there be any question that a responsible adult could experience life in Middle Earth with anything other than rights equal to any of their fellow citizens? How, indeed? Bilbo answered that certain things are understood, and that the absence of something written is not a big problem. Frodo thought that was bullshit, too. More than 40 years have passed, and now the "leader" of one of the two most significant of political parties in all the Shire wants to see a "Constitutional Amendment" to ban equal rights in marriage. Presumably, Bilbo's rejoinder to Frodo reflects a movement of 180 degrees, as opposed to a complete turnaround of equal justice or 360 degrees, under the law. Despite the wisdom of our President, it will be many, many years before Bilbo's error is rectified, and an Amendment is passed, insuring that all Americans have equal rights.

Many new soapmakers seem to get confused when it comes to defining saponification time and cure time when making handmade soap. The two terms are not interchangeable. Both are important to learn. Saponification Saponification is the chemical reaction that occurs when we mix oils with a lye solution. This process usually takes about 24-48 hours to occur. During saponification the sodium hydroxide and oils are binding, doing their love dance and turning into salts of the fatty acids. Glycerin is also produced and if you superfatted (which we do), you’ll have unsaponfied oil as well. Heat quickens saponification. If your soap goes through gel phase or if you force gel phase by adding heat, your soap finishes saponification faster. Soap that has a high water amount, soap that is high in olive oil and other slow-saponifying oils and soap that is made with cooler temperatures might take longer to saponify. You know that it is safe to use if you zap test it and it no longer zaps you. The Zap Test for Soap The zap test is when you stick a bar of soap to your tongue. If it zaps you like a 9-volt battery, your soap is still not saponfied. If it doesn’t, it is probably done with the process. Again, saponification takes about 24-48 hours. If you have a zappy soap after 72 hours, let it set a week and retest. Occasionally, you might get a soap that takes longer to saponify. You probably didn’t stir in the right direction (always stir counter-clockwise). Just kidding. Ignore that last line. Can You Test Soap with pH Testing Strips? Yes, but I don’t. I just don’t find them accurate. And they are a pain. You have to dissolve some soap either by dropping water on the bar or dissolving soap in a bit of warm water. And since the soap is then diluted, I don’t think it is that accurate. I know that many soap makers use test strips and that is fine. I personally don’t recommend them and I don’t use them myself. If you’re interested, purchase some. They aren’t that expensive. I stick to licking soap. Although, these days I don’t test at all. I can tell when a soap comes out good or when there might be issues. If I think there might be issues due to too much caustic (crumbly soap) I might check it several days after making it. You don’t have to zap test every batch of soap. I use it to troubleshoot. After saponification your soap is safe to use. You can technically use a bar of soap 24-48 hours after making it. But should you? This is where the cure time comes in. Curing Your Handcrafted Soap The cure time is all about water evaporation. During the cure time water dissolves from your soap creating a harder and longer-lasting bar in your shower. Curing = drying. If you were to step into your shower with a brand new bar of soap it would dissolve pretty quickly. It is very important not to sell fresh soap. Customers might get frustrated with a soap that dissolves quickly. The typical cure time is 4-6 weeks. Soaps high in olive oil will take closer to six weeks to cure. This is a good starting point, but it is flexible. If you water discount, you won’t need the full cure time. Sometimes if I need a soap fast, I’ll discount the water quite a bit, using 1.5 – 2 times the lye amount. How Do You Know When Your Soap is Done Curing? There isn’t really a hard and fast rule and that is why most soap makers advocate for a minimum cure of 4 weeks. One thing you can do is try weighing a bar of soap right after you make it. Weigh it daily. When it stops losing weight, it is probably done curing. Although… I feel like soap becomes milder after it has cured. I read somewhere that 95% of saponification takes place in the first 48 hours but the other 5% takes place during the cure time. So I personally cure soap with a water discount at least 3 weeks before I use it. I feel like it gets milder. If you are a new soap maker, make it a point to cure soap at least 4 weeks. The more you make and the more experienced you become, you can modify the cure time for your recipe and process.

I have question about saponification though. I have had lye heavy soaps for couple of times. In the past, I never had lye heavy soaps. So, I’m pretty sure its not because of the recipe or measurement because I’ve been using the same lye calculator and equipment. However, I do change lye concentration from 33% to 30% though. I do notice, that the freshly made soap in the mold is a little cooler than usual. I was wondering, is it because the soap did not sufficiently saponify? Is there suggestion to make sure the soap fully saponified? Currently, I’m mixing lye and oil at between 40-50 celcius. Should I soap at higher temperature? I read your post and will try to stir counter-clockwise. hopefully that’ll help. Lynn March 30, 2020 at 2:49 am - Reply Hi, Can you please tell me, if lye is added to oils, stirred just once, will it become soap? Partially, completely or not at all. Dave April 1, 2020 at 1:07 pm - Reply Hi Lynn, Since nobody else has answered, I’ll venture a reply. Since saponification is a reaction between the lye and oils, it will saponify only in the places where the lye has contacted the oils. It is really necessary to fully blend the lye and oils.

Abdul Rashid September 26, 2019 at 6:15 am - Reply Hi Amanda Indeed, I loved your post as well as interesting and useful comments on it. Soap making is a chemical process but at the same time it’s an art. It needs skill, experience and interest. As I am work in a large scale soap manufacturing business, I may share some interesting facts. – Logically, saponification (reaction of soap making) and evaporation (process of soap drying) never ends. – Rate/speed of saponification and evaporation is higher at the start of reaction and at a higher temperature and it gradually slows down, depending on completion of reaction and dropped temperature. – Keep the soap little bit alkaline otherwise it may develop bad odor. – Phenolphthalein indicator or bite test may be used assess alkalinity. Think safety first before any activity/experiment. Yeysebell Rogers October 16, 2021 at 1:30 pm - Reply How do you keep the soap alkaline?

Even after making soap for over 6 years, I still love reading about the process. Thanks! Elaine Adams February 3, 2018 at 3:51 am - Reply Hi Amanda, Im new at the soap game, Is there a reason why my trace happens quicker than the all the information I have read, and is there a way to slow down this process, or am I doing something wrong. Many thanks Elaine soapathome December 27, 2018 at 4:18 pm - Reply What temperature are you soaping at? Monique Johnson August 9, 2017 at 9:09 am - Reply Hi Amanda! I am new to the soap making deal and would like to know after saponification do u remove the soap and let cure cover or uncovered? ~ Monique soapathome December 27, 2018 at 4:19 pm - Reply Once you can unmold it, it should be cut and put somewhere cool and dry, preferably with good air circulation. pedro August 1, 2017 at 7:53 pm - Reply Great post! I just made a palm & olive oil soap and for the first time I added 1,5% of sodium lactate, hoping for a firmer soap bar. And I was surprised to discover that it seems ready right after unmolding. I use ph stripes, but this one I had to zap test as well, because I wouldn’t believe it was ready. I’ll cure it anyway because I too fell it gets milder and I want it to fully dry before using it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Gilbert April 11, 2017 at 3:34 pm - Reply I love your blogs, especially the high temperature hot process soap article. However, when you said you don’t trust pH strips with soap because you have to dilute the soap, as a scientist I have to disagree on something with you. When you put soap into water I wouldn’t really think of it as diluting it (hold on a second I know you usually think of adding water as diluting but…) I would think of it as making a soap solution in distilled water. You can effectively take a pH reading with this. In order for you to shift the pH one unit (9 to a 8) you would have to dilute the soap solution ten fold, but why would you do that in reality. A drop on the soaps surface would make a really concentrated soap solution and if anything you could argue the contrary that it may be OVER compensating for the soaps pH. For our purposes I say go right ahead and use the pH strips as a gauge for soap! Amanda April 11, 2017 at 6:42 pm - Reply Great comment, Gilbert! Gives me food for thought for sure. Amanda Morag Tohamy February 10, 2017 at 2:27 am - Reply Hi Amanda, Thank you for all that useful information 🙂 What does mild soap mean? English isn’t my first language and I’m having a hard time understanding what soapers mean when they say that a soap is mild or milder. What does a milder soap feel like (as opposed to a less mild soap)? Thank you, Morag pedro August 1, 2017 at 7:49 pm - Reply Milder means softer to your skin. A milder soap leaves you with a good sensation after using on your hands, you feel that they are hidrated, or something like that. A “less mild” soap will leave a dry skin sensation Dave Nelson December 14, 2018 at 3:42 pm - Reply Hi Morag, I’m not Amanda, but maybe I can answer your question. A mild soap would be less harsh, less drying. It would feel softer on your skin, not so strong. Hope that helps. –Dave Buppa February 1, 2017 at 7:17 am - Reply How we get rid of smell (oily smell). I use coconut, palm and olive oil) Lil September 28, 2016 at 12:38 pm - Reply Great read. My question is, while the soap is curing should it be covered? I have it on a wire rack, and covered it with a paper box and a towel. Kathy May 17, 2016 at 9:19 pm - Reply Hi Amanda, So how long does Castile Soap (100% Olive Oil) need to adequately cure & how would you know when it is done? There seems to be very conflicting answers. I know the longer the better, but does 4 months versus 14 months really make that much of a difference? And if so, what exactly is the difference? I know the bar will last longer, but how much longer…. Janie May 30, 2016 at 12:31 pm - Reply It depends on the amount of water used. Full water will take a long time (14 months is not unreasonable), but a steep water discount can be much less. Weighing the fresh soap and then weighing periodically to see when the weight stabilizes is the best way to tell with Castile. Kevin Riner May 9, 2016 at 10:15 am - Reply This is a great article. Thanks! Amanda Gail May 11, 2016 at 9:06 am - Reply You’re welcome! Thanks for reading! 🙂 Chandice May 8, 2016 at 7:10 pm - Reply Thanks Amanda for the information! :-D. Very helpful for me since I’m new to soaping :-D. Love all your articles! Sarah Janes May 8, 2016 at 3:59 am - Reply Hi Amanda, Great post but on this occasion I have to disagree with you on one point. I think you are mistaking, as most people do, curing for drying. Curing is what happens as the soap saponifies and the ph changes happen during this phase. If your soap has fully gelled it is then also now cured but will still require the drying time to evaporate the water left in the bar that was used as the solvent for the lye. It is possible to both cure and dry at the same time however , if your soap has not been gelled. Amanda Gail May 8, 2016 at 7:48 am - Reply Hi Sarah! Thanks for your comment. I don’t believe that fully gelled soap is now cured. Fully gelled soap is saponified, but still needs to go through the cure process to allow for water evaporation.

Humans don’t sleep in winter. Maybe we grew smarter to rule over nature. Or maybe we grew smaller and forgot the song of the hearth with her allegrettos and her adagios. Somehow we can still feel the soporific tension to oblivion though. That silent invitation to leave the excitement of the full sun and repair to rest and recover. Mist is back in my Milan. It’s curious. When I left 5 years ago the mist wasn’t reaching the center anymore. Back to those times I felt my city becoming every day less Milan, like her soul was beginning to fade, left unprotected by the soft cover of her most romantic morning cloak. Too much light may hurt. Maybe it was me. How many times we project ourself into the world to feel more safe. We want things to be in our mind grasp to avoid seeing how big the universe is and how small we are. But now my mist is back. The earth is bringing leaves and mist on a skin like a Giant blanket for her to get ready for winter. Maybe we’re not that small after all. Maybe the sky so high just frighten us with his infinite womb and the earth so heavy bend our desire to infinity to the ground. But in the mist we don’t see any of it. We’re with ourselves and we can see better inside our heart without the interference of the world. We can summon or strengths and then we can get out ready to accept the expansion of the huge landscape of possibilities that our world give to us. Maybe we don’t sleep but we can recover and rest as well making our own songs. So let the mist be. lp (Coaching times are the best and the beast, divouring all my time to feed his childrens. I only hope his breed will grow strong and will help me in the future in exchange. In the meanwhile I will juice up every free moment I have to reply to you and if you like to comment and share It will be like a moment of wonderful recharging mist to me 😉 ) 45.494197 9.206315 Related Published by Luca Povoleri De Las Heras "Communication is Beauty and Beauty will save the world."

It’s that time of the year again, International Women’s Day is coming up! It’s not just that one Feminist Fight Day when feminism is super important, but it’s an annual constant reminder of everything which still needs to be done in order to achieve equality of all genders and all people. It’s still a long way until we can finally say that women and gender diverse people are equal to men in all contexts. This year’s theme for International Women’s Day is #ChooseToChallenge. My dear friend Anna Sterntaler (also check out Anna Sterntaler on Pinterest) and I have recently been brainstorming for wordings which somehow fit this year’s theme so that I could transfer these wordings into letterings. by luloveshandmade Leave a Comment Everything Else, Handlettering & Illustration Pro Choice // Weg mit Paragraf 219a! January 24, 2021 German version further below! // Deutsche Version weiter unten! . Englisch Version: Pro Choice – Against the Violation of Reproductive Rights So it’s 2021 and we are still fighting against the violation of reproductive rights! Politics must be kept out of people’s uteruses! We need universal, safe, legal and free access to abortion as a basic human right and as basic health care! It also has to be part of emergency supply in times of a pandemic! Abolish Section 219a of the German Criminal Code The doctor Kristina Hänel has been legally convicted of section 219a of the German criminal code, which prohibits advertising for abortion. She provided information on her website about the way in which she performs abortions in her medical practice. She is now no longer allowed to provide information about abortions on her website and is now taking the matter to the Constitutional Court. Even if Hänel can no longer provide information on her website, all people who do not perform abortions can continue to do so. So now we must all work together to put factual information on the Internet. We cannot leave the sovereignty of information to the fundamentalists. by luloveshandmade 1 Comment Handlettering & Illustration Luloveshandmade Shop Update – New Products with my Letterings and Illustrations via Spreadshirt October 19, 2020 [Werbung für meinen eigenen Shop bei Spreadshirt / Advertisement for my own shop at Spreadshirt] Hey everyone, time for a new Luloveshandmade shop update!

And spoiler: beware of a super long blogpost with a bit of text and plenty of photos from Dinopark Germendorf! Do you remember my portrait photo series of the temporary dinosaur park in Berlin that I took about two years ago? My friend Anni and I had tons of fun back then and enjoyed the company of some huge artificial dinosaurs for one day and we were even allowed to climb on top of them. Past weekend, it was finally time for a new jurassic adventure and I was so excited! Northwest of Berlin, there is an awesome park which is a mixture of an amusement park, a dinosaur park and a small zoo. It is called Freizeitpark Germendorf and it’s perfect for a day trip from Berlin, even when you don’t have a car and want to go by public transport. From my Kiez in Prenzlauer Berg it takes about 1 1/2 hours to get there. By car, it’s way less. My dear friend Anna and I went to the park past Sunday and took a ton of photos and had so so much fun walking around the life size dinosaurs! . by luloveshandmade Leave a Comment Next Page » Hello & Welcome I'm Lu, I'm 34 years old and I live in wonderful Berlin.

The majority of EU countries should be technically ready for COVID-19 certificates by the first week of June ahead of their official launch expected by the end of that month, an EU official told EURACTIV. The green digital certificates were proposed last month by the European Commission as a way to facilitate safe free movement inside the EU during the COVID-19 pandemic. The document, which may be in digital or paper format, will attest that a person has been vaccinated against coronavirus, have a recent negative test result or have recovered from the disease. While the EU lawmakers are starting the inter-institutional negotiations to seal the final legal text of the measures, simultaneously the technical side of the certificates is being developed. This was confirmed by an EU official on Friday who, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that the technical side is “marching in parallel” with the negotiation talks between the European Parliament and the EU ministers, as time is short. The goal is to have the certification system up and running before the summer, as the whole operation is mostly conceived to save the holiday season and the struggling European tourism sector. The system has to be ready when the legislation will be published to avoid delays, the EU official stressed, adding that it is expected to be operational and legally valid all over Europe by 26 June. Member states have been divided into three groups based on their preparedness to start system testing. A first group of 20 countries including France, Italy, Spain and Germany will start technical checks to interconnect the systems from the second week of May, while another group of less ready member states will start their testing later in May. The third, last, group should start around the middle of June. “We check everything, we check that the system is validated changing the keys, we check the whole setup, and then we declare that the connection works. So that’s why they are divided into groups” explained the EU official. The budget for this initiative reaches around about €40-45 million, almost a third of the cost spent on the system itself. On Thursday (29 April) European lawmakers adopted their negotiating position on the European Commission’s proposal for the digital green certificates, paving the way for what is likely to be a tough inter-institutional negotiation with the Council representing the 27 member states. While the EU is working on the legal basis of the initiative, simultaneously the technical side of the certificates is being developed.

A good film about Alfred Kinsey could perform a positive function in the current political scramble to second-guess and roll back personal liberties. The sex surveys that entomologist-turned-bedroomologist Kinsey conducted in the mid-20th century shattered conventional wisdom about sexual behaviors, sold like hotcakes and demonstrated that many more people engage in behaviors deemed "deviant" than their public faces admit. From masturbation to incest, from premarital sex to homosexuality, Kinsey's work offers the comforting, potentially revolutionary suggestion that none of us is as weird as we feared – or, perhaps, that we're all quite weird together. Unfortunately, director Bill Condon isn't the right warrior for this fight. Best known for 1998's overly acclaimed art house mini-hit Gods and Monsters (and perhaps less so for 1995's Candyman II: Farewell to the Flesh), Condon here subjects Kinsey to the Milos Forman treatment, wringing out of the sex surveyor's life story a choppy, episodic biopic that's small on soul and big on platitudes. In the process, Condon unwittingly unfurls a puritanical flag of his own – a flag that takes overwrought acting as its stars and trite storytelling as its stripes. As Condon tells it, Kinsey's quest for sexual healing springs in part from the repressive attitudes broadcast by his curmudgeonly father, Alfred Sr. (John Lithgow, in a painfully broad turn). They're attitudes Kinsey spends a lifetime trying to unlearn and overcome. As an adult, Kinsey (Liam Neeson) becomes a successful Indiana University biology professor (he's a wasp specialist) and marries the supportive Clara McMillen (Laura Linney). Happiness arrives soon after the two overcome the sexual problems posed by Kinsey's overlarge member. (Really.) The professor's popularity and openness with his students – along with his contempt for the anti-sex, health-and-hygiene lectures of fellow faculty member Thurman Rice (a particularly unconvincing Tim Curry) – transform him into the student body's de facto sexual counselor. Before long, Kinsey begins teaching his own sexual-education curriculum, which in turn inspires his now-famous, far-reaching sexual surveys. In this quest, he finds an able assistant in student Clyde Martin (Peter Sarsgaard) – who also awakens the good doctor to his homosexual side. Kinsey's surveys spawn a bustling organization that initially thrives, but later caves in to infighting and sexual intrigue – just as the country's changing political climate responds harshly to Kinsey's work in the early 1950s. It boggles the mind that a film about sex can manage to feel this boring. Blame Condon for Kinsey's dreary pacing: It's a predictable collection of vignettes, lacking both narrative depth and meaningful character development (the same flaw that neutered Jim Carrey's joyous performance as Andy Kaufman in Forman's 1999 misfire, Man on the Moon). Despite a couple of genital close-ups and a few good laughs (the latter generally supplied by Linney), Condon's by-the-books storytelling steeps viewers in a carelessly conservative approach to film art. Gallingly, Kinsey even goes out with the reactionary moral suggestion that "too much" sexual liberation eventually (inevitably?) undermines love. Too much liberation, indeed. Looks like we're still in the market for a good movie about Alfred Kinsey. Tags The Gist Film We welcome readers to submit letters regarding articles and content in Orlando Weekly.

Ever since I was little I’ve always been creative and artistic. Originally I took an interest in illustration, but after starting the MacEwan Design Studies program I discovered a love for Motion Graphics, Photography, and Advertising. I am always eager to learn more about design and to have a career that showcases my creativity and skills, which is something I've always been passionate about. Outside of design, I love spending time with my cheer team practicing our routine, learning new things at work, and spending time with my family.

If your idea of being tech-savvy is playing snake on your Nokia flip-phone, you may be a little behind on the trends. But don't worry-Mike Ablauf, category manager for Leed's, New Kensington, Pa., offered the following tip: "Stay up on the latest trends and rely on your supplier to assist you in understanding their latest mobile tech offering. Mobile technology products are purchased for their function, so if you're behind on the trends, you're missing the opportunity. Also, ask your supplier of choice for their best items and then sample them. Electronics and mobile tech items should be interacted with to best understand the product and where you can present them to your customers. You have to feel comfortable with the items and their quality before you can be comfortable presenting them." If you haven't heard about Google Glass, it's kind of a big deal. Slated for a Q4 2013 consumer release, the eye-mounted mobile-computing platform is causing quite a stir, and not just for the ethical questions it's raising about privacy or its promise to make it even easier for us to take and share pictures of our cats. If Glass catches on (and judging by the success of Android, Google's last big mobile venture, there's a good chance it will) it could reshape the way we use computers, just as smartphones and tablets did before it. What does this have to do with the promotional products industry? A lot, actually. We just now figured out how to use the Netflix app on our iPads, and already the next camp-outside-the-Best-Buy device is on its way—if you don't keep up with the trends, your tech promotions could fall flatter than a Windows Vista joke at a Bill Gates meet-and-greet. Want to take advantage of the huge demand for computer accessories but not sure where to start? Get plugged into the tech market with the four sales tips below. 1. Go Mobile The Pew Internet & American Life Project's 2012 data shows that 58 percent of American adults still own desktop computers, making traditional computer accessories like mouse pads, wrist rests and keyboard brushes still viable as promotional items. But to focus on those products at the expense of the growing mobile market would be to limit your potential sales. "The market is strongly trending toward mobile connectivity. Recent research has shown that a quarter of U.S. laptop owners now own tablets, and half own smartphones," said Sandeep Mehta, president of 365 Wholesale, Deer Park, N.Y. "According to Pew Research, the rate of ownership of e-readers and tablets actually doubled just over the 2012 holiday season. 29 percent of adults now own one of these devices." Mike Ablauf, category manager for New Kensington, Pennsylvania-based Leed's, recommended a broader approach to tech promotions, one that accounts for the steady uptick in mobile device ownership. "I would change what you think of as 'computer accessories' to include anything compatible with tablets or smartphones," he advised. "I would think of bags that fit these products, as well as pens with stylus tips, as solutions for these types of promotions and probably more relevant in today's tech environment."

8. Thank a client for the order—"I appreciate the confidence you've placed in me." "I will take good care of your business." "Thank you for affording me the opportunity to be of service." There. That wasn't so tough, was it? Every order and every client is precious. Never assume they know it. Tell them. 9. Don't prospect from the cell phone—Let me be clear (pun intended): When you call on a prospect, do so from a good connection with minimal background noise. If you call someone from your car, you might as well start off your pitch by shouting, "Hi, this is Bill. You're not important enough for me to call from a land line or a quiet place...." 10. Leave your job at the office—Do me a favor. Google the phrase, "End of the day." There was a time before email and cell phones that the sales day ended, business was over, and your personal life began. The weekend was yours to share with your family. You'd watch your child's game without talking on the phone from the sideline. Sales etiquette includes a separation of business and personal. Be present to your family. How do you wish to be remembered by your kids? Go be that person. I had a professor at the University of Alabama named John Bickley. Dr. B taught his male students manners and insisted that we stand when a woman approached the table at the dinner parties he'd throw. To this day, I hear his ghost whisper to me and keep me in line. Good personal etiquette is rare, but it does not go unnoticed. The same can be said for good sales etiquette. The right kind of woman will appreciate being honored by a man who stands when she enters the room. The right kind of customer will reward a courteous sales rep with business and loyalty. « Previous 1 2 3 4 AllNext » 0 Comments View Comments Categories: Distributor News E Bill Farquharson Author's page Bill Farquharson is a sales trainer for the graphic arts.

Huntington Beach, CA Great customer service over the phone. Brian extremely helpful in answering my questions and helping me get the right persons for my Mom's house cleaning. She was very happy with the work done. Lisa K Darrell K. Henderson, NV Thank you maid4you! Brian is the owner operator and he's very easy to talk to. I used them several times before writing a review and my experience has always been great. I'm sure all his staff is exceptional, but Jose really does the best job I've ever seen! He returned my brothers discusting shower and bath tub back to beautiful and sparkling again! Not to mention the stove top and every detail in the kitchen... Hope R. Huntington Beach, CA Really great people. Brian really stays on top of his business. I've always been happy with the way my place turns out, I never have any issues with scheduling and I just get a real feeling I can trust everyone who enters my place. I know they've been around forever, and that counts for a lot. Highly recommended! Danny T. Long Beach, CA There is nothing like returning from a weekend getaway and walking into a perfectly clean home without lifting a finger.

The owner Brian is very reachable and can always accommodate my last minute request. They continuously do an outstanding job cleaning my home and at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended. Brandon V. Santa Ana, CA I've been using Maid For You for seven or eight years - they are always on time, do a great job, and it's really nice having a central office to help with scheduling, particularly if my regular cleaner is sick or can't come for some reason, there's always someone else to fill-in. Highly recommended. Carolyn L. Orange, CA The owner is very kind. They came quickly when I needed help and did a wonderful job cleaning!! Everything is clean, fresh, and my carpet is fluffy and soft again. Thank you!! Jennifer D. Fountain Valley, CA Got this service to surprise my wife. The staff was very professional. Maria, came out and arrived on time and was very detailed in her work. She was courteous and respectful with our things. Brian at the office was very clear and focused on how much time I would need. Brian also followed up to make sure things went well. I will be using them again and HIGHLY recommend their service! Luis O. Santa Ana, CA I read previous YELP reviews and decided to try them. I left a voice mail for Brian and he called be back promptly. He was professional and pleasant. I explained that my house was empty, I was going to lease it and I needed an entire 2,000 sq.ft. house cleaned. I was able to choose a day that was convenient for me. Liz and Michael arrived during the window of time given to me by Brian. They did a fantastic job. They worked like bees. My house was dirty. Brian said it should take between 3-4 hours. The cleaning was competed in just under 4. I don't feel I paid for any time that someone was "lollygagging". No "surprises" with this company. I was completely satisfied with the entire experience. Cynthia B. Bend, OR Great experience! She was on time, did an awesome job cleaning for both my Mom's house and then mine! I highly recommend this company! Laurie T. Newport Beach, CA I contacted Maid 4 You and was able to schedule a cleaning the very next day.

I highly recommend Brian and Maid 4 You. Marc D. Newport Beach, CA I recently used their services and couldn't be happier! Their customer service and their professionalism exceeded my expectations. Their staff were on time and did a wonderful job. In fact, I was so impressed that the girls found loose change in their cleaning process and made it a point to hand me what they found. I highly recommend Maid 4 You and have already given their number to three friends. Jeremy L. Newport Beach, CA Micheal and Lic did good job today , my house is very clean and fresh now . Thank you so much Kate N. Newport Beach, CA Maid 4 You is the third cleaning company I've used since moving to Newport Beach and the only one I'm hiring for regular cleaning.

Thanks Brian for working with me & I look forward to Andrea cleaning on a regular basis. SK H. Newport Beach, CA I have gone through many cleaning services and this has by far been the best.

I can totally respect that as my husband thinks the same exact way with his employees! Anyways great company. Great service each and every time with a phenomenal price. You guys are awesome! Sandy S. Westminister, CA Sandra did very good job at my house today. She is a very hard and responsible worker. Thank Maid4you for providing very good service and I will recommend Maid4you for all my friends. An P. Garden Grove, CA Emalia was just terrific!! She cleaned everything so thoroughly, had a great attitude, and was super sweet with my two dogs. She was also super understanding- I was only 2 weeks post-partem, so I was napping whenever I could while the baby slept in her crib in the next room. She would try to let me sleep as much as she could as she cleaned the house (which generally speaking is not a quiet task). She also did some of our laundry and everything I asked her to do she was eager to help with. I wish I could tip her more- she made my post-baby blues so much better by making sure I had a clean home! Vanessa S. Irvine, CA Did a great job and cleaning my house for a reasonable rate. I have a 600 square-foot one-bedroom apartment and they did it for $65. Everybody else was twice as much. It only took them two hours. They sent one person which was enough David T. Huntington Beach, CA I have never had my shower doors this shiny and clear before! This morning I had my first cleaning done with a young woman named Helsey, and she was great! I had to run errands and work out with the kids, and when I came back a few hours later, the house was spic and span! I'll be scheduling with her again! Audrey M. Aliso Viejo, CA I have never had a cleaning service come to my home before but I am so happy that I did. I called the morning of and spoke to Brian. Two hours later, there were two ladies at my door! I couldnt believe it since I called under such short notice. I had my two bathrooms and kitchen cleaned and they look amazing. One of the ladies finished early and came back upstairs and started cleaning of my bedrooms as well which was great. My bathrooms have never been cleaner and I will definitely be using this company again! Taylor K. Costa Mesa, CA Sandra did an amazing job She is one of those people that actually enjoys their job and takes pride in their work. We were moving out of our old apartment and she finished the job in 4 hours. I would recommend her to anyone in the future and will have her come once a month to my new place. Thanks Kenny R. Murrieta, CA Top notch operation. I think they've been in business over 20 years. Every time I call they send out amazing people. I highly recommend this company. Sandy L. San Clemente, CA I was referred to Maid 4 You Orange County by a local realtor. I wanted to get the home that I'd just sold professionally cleaned at the close of escrow. Brian listened to my needs, sent two people out and they did a stellar job. I'm certain that the new owner recognized that the house was truly "move in ready" when he took possession. I'd use them again in a heartbeat. Ron L. Orange, CA I am always pleased with the cleaning that Carlos and Yolanda do on my house every month. They are always friendly and smiling and easy to work with. Brian is always very accommodating when I need to switch my cleaning schedule around...which I need to do a lot. I would definitely recommend Maid 4 You because of the good service that I have received from Brian, Yolanda and Carlos over last few years. Susanna V. Irvine, CA I really enjoyed my experience with Maid 4 You. They have great customer service via phone and happy to answer any questions you may have regarding your cleaning. I recently had Jose clean my apartment and he did a great job. Jose has a friendly and easy going personality. I would highly recommend and use him for any cleaning services. Maryum A. Tustin, CA We've always been pleased with the professionalism of Brian's company. Any last minute requests or preferences can be communicated directly to Brian and he makes sure your cleaners know what needs to get done. The house is always in tip top shape after their cleaning. Couldn't be happier. Mimi K. Irvine, CA I chose this company due to their positive yelp reviews. They were wonderful. Prompt service, clean house, now a happy customer. Thank you! Jerry Z.

To be clear, I’ve neither owner nor use one of these, so I can’t vouch for the quality of the product nor for its practical effectiveness. However, I admire the clever thinking that went into the design: the transparency lets you see at a glance how bad the clog is (or if your wedding ring really went down there), and the knob lets you clear it without dismantling the trap. At least in theory. In practice, of course, accumulated grime (or algae, if your trap is regularly exposed to light) might eventually obscure the interior of the pipe, and the rotating paddle mechanism might break down or get fouled with hair. Be interesting to see if this thing is still around in five years, and if so, how the early installations are holding up.

Addition, Elementary Math, Fractions, Math, Math Instruction, Math Professional Development, Operations with Fractions, Uncategorized Fractions… Fact vs Fiction September 7, 2021 September 7, 2021 Kahflyers Fact: Fractions is a topic that is controversial with people when it comes to math. Fiction: Fractions are scary! Fact: You CAN teach fractions with meaning. Fiction: If I have to draw a picture of the fraction, that means I’m not good at math. Fact: Making fractions conceptual, using manipulatives, and changing how we (the teachers) talk about fractions can have a HUGE IMPACT on student understanding in our fraction standards. When I first started teaching back in 2005, I personally, did not have a conceptual understanding of fractions. To be honest, it wasn’t until about 2010 ( I was 27 years old) and I attended a professional development in Columbus, Ohio that I started to really comprehend what a fraction truly was. I was never taught that a fraction is part of a whole. I was taught rules and procedures. That’s it. When Kristin was moved from 3rd grade to 4th grade and became a teammate across the hall, we were both on a journey to understand our standards better. We wanted to know more of the WHY not just the HOW when it came to mathematics. When I changed HOW I taught my students, not only did their learning soar, but mine did as well. One of the first things I changed was the vocabulary I was using. Most students would come to me as a 4th grader and know that the top number in a fraction was called the “numerator” and the bottom number was called the “denominator”. A lot of teachers would be happy with that, but when my students couldn’t tell me what “numerator” and “denominator” meant, I knew I had to rectify that. Kristin and I came together and said, “What do we need students to know when it comes to meaning of fractions?” Here’s what we came up with. I have had so many students come into 4th grade and struggle with adding fractions with like denominators that I take it back to how our primary friends do one to one correspondence with addition. In kindergarten we ask our students to count like this. 1 bear + 1 bear + 1 bear = 3 bears or 2 rings + 3 rings = 5 rings The numbers tell us our quantity, the bear and ring says what we are counting or our value. number = quantity = adjective object = value = noun Let’s give it a go with fractions. 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 = 3/2 Why? Why is it not 3/6? Let’s dive in… When we rewrite this same problem in unit form, 1 half + 1 half + 1 half, it allows the students to see that we are adding halves. Halves is the object in which we are adding. They can see that 1 half + 1 half + 1 half = 3 halves. We are adding 1 + 1 + 1 to get 3 and we are adding halves. Almost the exact situation happened on the 2nd day of school this year. Take a look at the picture below from when we added our second half for the school year. A student gave the answer of 1/2 + 1/2 = 2/4. I got out manipulatives and we added 1 block + 1 block to equal 2 blocks. I got out fraction tiles and built 1 half + 2 half. The class was able to see that we didn’t have fourths. It wasn’t 4 parts that equaled 1 whole, but 2 halves. We built our way to writing it out below. The same thing can be used if we are adding bigger values and different units … 3/4 + 3/4= ? 3 fourths + 3 fourths = 6 fourths = 6/4 Some of you might be wondering… What about when we add fractions with unlike denominators? That my friends is for another blog post. 🙂 Feel free to download the Fraction Vocab below to use in your classroom to help with fractions in your classroom.

Published by Kahflyers I am a proud undergraduate and graduate student from the University of Dayton, GO FLYERS! I worked as a full-time classroom teacher for 17 years, in several different elementary grade levels, and special education. In the early 2000's I had the opportunity to attend seminars and conferences on different ways to approach teaching math in the classroom. As I will share in future posts, using the information I gained in these trainings, my students' understanding of math showed drastic results. This success helped guide me to my current position as a math consultant. As a mom of three, very busy children, I also understand the parent side of helping with homework. It is my goal to have posts to support parents as well. View all posts by Kahflyers
