J.K. Rowling's "The Boy Who Lived" wore glasses and saved the wizarding world while doing so. Throughout seven-book series, your child can follow Harry and his friends Hermione and Ron as they start school, learn magical spells, and defeat the Dark Lord Voldemort.
As each book (and film) progresses, the themes and tones becomes more serious, so you may want to read just the first few with young children. When you feel they are ready for each subsequent book, add them to your bedtime list.
It's difficult to find a more beloved superhero than Superman. This DC Comics creation swooped into comic books and into children's hearts in 1938 and remains popular today. When Superman dons his cape and suit to save his lady-love Lois Lane, he flies without visual aid. However, his alter ego Clark Kent famously wears large, thick-framed glasses that hide his true identity.
Let your child's imagination run wild while he or she pretends to be a superhero or heroine in disguise every time they wear their glasses.
Another superhero tops our list. Marvel Comics added another mutant to its School for Gifted Youngsters in 1968. Cyclops wears a form of glasses to protect those around him. If he looks at anyone or anything without these glasses, a destructive beam could hurt them. That superhuman ability is useful in combat but not much fun at a party.
Scooby-Doo and his gang of detectives would go out of business without Velma. Her intelligence helps the group discover clues, solve crimes, and find enough snacks to satisfy Scooby and Shaggy.
Use Velma and her ever-present glasses to help your children see that glasses mean they can see clues more easily. Create a scavenger hunt or another clue-based activity to let your children try it out for themselves.
If your older child loves dinosaurs, this is the character to emphasize. Michael Crichton's novel Jurassic Park spawned three movies, a lauded soundtrack, and merchandise as far as the eye can see. While the dinosaurs garner most of the attention, Dr. Ian Malcolm is one of the most memorable human characters. Follow his epic adventure to save lives, fight prehistoric creatures, and make glasses a fashion statement.
In Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, readers follow Jean Louise Finch (better known as "Scout"). Her father, Atticus Finch, instills values such as tolerance, kindness, and integrity in his daughter throughout the story. The novel is worth a read, but children may note Atticus' glasses more easily if they watch the Gregory Peck film.
The last adult (and human) on this list comes from the 1980s film Ghostbusters. This film has a few adult-themed moments, so you preview it to see if you would feel comfortable showing it to your children. While there are some items you may have to fast-forward if your child is too young, the playful banter between Egon and his fellow ghost busters makes this film worthwhile.
Arthur the Aardvark wears his trademark glasses with pride. In fact, he wore them so often that his younger sister, D.W., thought he was born with them on his face. The first episode of this long-running series tackles how nervous Arthur was to wear them at first and shows how he came to appreciate them.
These are just a few characters you can use to show your children their heroes wear glasses too. Use them as a jumping-off point to find the character that inspires your child.


Leslie Nielsen has died - sadly - and he must be rated, all things considered - one of Canada's greatest popular figures of the 20th century, along with William Shatner - a world famous comedian, and serious actor - who became globally synonymous with straight-faced hilarity. Nielsen was the captain in my favourite shlock film, The Poseidon Adventure, whose reaction to the terrible capsizing wave later made him ideal in Airplane! - often voted by critics as one of the ten best comedies. He will be missed.
I heard this news on the way home from work and felt saddened by it. Leslie Nielsen could make me laugh without telling a joke, just with a glance. Airplane, Police Squad and Naked Gun. He will be missed.
"I'm not joking and my names not Shirley!"


"Badger Promise will help put a four-year degree within reach for Wisconsin high school students who want to or need to start at a two-year school," said Blank. Blank and Sandeen unveiled the program at UW-Waukesha and UW-Fox Valley today.
The program builds on successful existing partnerships with the two-year UW Colleges and the Wisconsin Technical College System. It targets Wisconsin students who want to transfer to UW–Madison and who are the first in their families to earn a four-year degree.
All first-generation transfers will receive one year of free tuition. Badger Promise students who are eligible for federal Pell Grants will receive two years of free tuition. First-generation students are more likely to enter UW–Madison as transfer students. Although they face unique challenges, they are also high performers with strong potential.
Blank highlighted student Kim Krautkramer, who grew up on a farm near Marathon City and graduated at the top of her high school class. Concerned about college costs, Krautkramer attended UW-Marathon County for her first two years and transferred to UW–Madison. There, she worked nearly 30 hours a week in various jobs just to earn enough to pay for school. After earning her undergraduate degree, she remained in Madison for graduate school. In May, she earned a doctorate in biochemistry while also on her way to a medical degree.
The financial aid package is being provided this semester to 139 new transfer students. The university expects the number of eligible students to remain approximately the same in future years.
Each student will receive whatever award is needed to cover the full amount of their tuition and fees. For the first cohort of Badger Promise students, the average award will total approximately $4,800 in new funding per student. This is on top of any other sources of need-based aid for which a student may qualify.

Tough time for Santiago Solari, Real Madrid stars playing for their futures as summer rebuild looms
Updated Mar 08, 2019 | 08:36 IST | AFP
While Real Madrid are in the unusual position of focusing solely now on La Liga, Barcelona and Atletico will keep one eye on their own Champions League ties this weekend.

Real Madrid have 12 games left to salvage some pride and perhaps save Santiago Solari his job. Although it is hard to imagine even the very best of run-ins allowing the Argentinian to remain as coach next season. Something close to 12 wins could do it, but even that is unlikely to persuade club president Florentino Perez to overlook a season that was over before the middle of March.
Besides, nothing Madrid have shown in recent weeks suggests they are set for a sprint-finish, still less a run that would make Barcelona nervous, the Catalans 12 points clear following their victory at the Santiago Bernabeu last weekend.
Atletico Madrid, five points in front, are more catchable, particularly if Diego Simeone's side complete the job against Juventus next week and the Champions League - not to mention a final at their own Wanda Metropolitano - becomes the key focus.
"We are sad and hurt," Solari said after the 4-1 defeat to Ajax on Tuesday. "But the season continues. It's true the gap in the league is very big but we have to stand up. Madrid always come back."
Just as finishing third in La Liga last season mattered little once Real were crowned European champions, snatching second after a miserable exit in the last 16 would certainly not make amends. Instead, Solari's beleaguered side face a struggling Real Valladolid on Sunday, looking for a victory to suggest their seven-day crisis will not give way to a three-month collapse.
Eight points should be enough to avoid dropping into a race for the top four, particularly given those closest are Getafe and Alaves, each enjoying remarkable seasons but perhaps unlikely to storm down the home straight.
Which leaves the best part of 11 weeks for Madrid's players to convince the club of their own futures, as well as the future of their coach.
Elder statesmen on trial
Regardless of what happens to Solari, this is the kind of season that prompts a rethink, and perhaps a revamp of the squad in the summer, with a handful of older players particularly under scrutiny.
Gareth Bale, Marcelo, Toni Kroos, Casemiro and Karim Benzema have all under-performed to varying degrees in recent weeks.
"We've all failed to find our best level this season," said Kroos on Tuesday. "I'm the first to admit that." "We could have done so much more," said Nacho.
Conversely, Luka Modric, heavily linked with a move to Italy last summer, may feel it is time for a fresh start while there is little chance of Solari allowing Isco to prove his worth, although the Spaniard's prospects would transform as soon as a new coach came in.
Atletico host Leganes on Saturday before taking a 2-0 lead over Juventus to Turin on Tuesday. Barca are at home to Rayo Vallecano, with a return against Lyon to come on Wednesday, following a goalless opening leg.
Barca were worryingly open in their Copa del Rey defeat of Real last week but much tighter in the league victory on Saturday, when a controlled 1-0 win showed the kind of nous they might well need in Europe.
"We were much better in this match," Ernesto Valverde said. "The other day we won 3-0 but lacked control. This time we dominated the ball and when the chances came, we were ruthless."

Screen and Media Culture
Independent documentary is enjoying a resurgence in post-reform India. But in contemporary cinema and media cultures, where 'independent' operates as an industry genre or critical category, how do we understand the significance of this mode of cultural production? Based on detailed onsite observation of documentary production, circulation practices and the analysis of film texts, this book identifies independence as a 'tactical practice', contesting the normative definitions and functions assigned to culture, cultural production and producers in a neoliberal economic system. Focusing on selected filmmakers, the book establishes how they have reorganised the dominance of industrial media, technology and social relations to develop practices that build upon principles of de-economisation, artisanship and interdependence.

We like to continue doing things that bring pleasure or relaxation or achievement but we don't like to keep on doing things that bring pain! Almost sounds like Paul in Romans 7: some things that I'd like to stop, I find hard to stop! I continue doing them even though I don't like doing them. Or rather, we should say we don't like the outcomes.
The Christian life is no different from any other in this regard: it is meant to be lived continually. The difference is that living christianly is a matter of living convertedly. It's living the new life of a disciple every moment of every day and growing in that ability. There are things we're to continue doing and things we're not to continue doing.
In my recent devotional reading, I discovered at least ten things we are to continue doing and a couple we are warned against continuing.
The first one I discovered was t o continue in the word. Jesus said, "If you continue in my word, then you are truly disciples of mine" (John 8:31). In other words, if we live out the things Jesus said to do, we will verify ourselves as Jesus-followers. A synonym for continue is "abide" or "remain." Important words for John.
Continuing in the word of Jesus means an intentional life-long commitment to the study, meditation, reading and memorization of the word. This is the means to capturing the power of the unfolding universe of truth in Jesus that saves, restores, and transforms the soul increasingly reflecting the character of Christ in brighter and clearer ways.
It's the mark of true, genuine and earnest Jesus-follower.
It's the discovery of the truth that sets us free from slavery to sins.
It's the realization that we are the spiritual descendants of Abraham.
It's the joy of being the children of the Father and no longer the children of wrath (i.e., the devil).
It's the privilege of hearing God's word because we are his children.
Don't let a day pass without the in-take of God's word. And ask God to keep you from the vanity of "egg-head" knowledge. Enjoy learning new things from God, but ask him to prevent you from becoming "puffed up" in your accumulation of knowledge. It's not about you! Ask the Spirit to use the word to do some heart-renovation so that your life radiates with the light and life of Christ and you become a valuable asset to others in your spheres of life.

Zvelo releases 'first free bot detection service'
The new service from the Denver-area detector of malicious data can show percentages of non-human traffic to ads or sites.
Barry Levine on January 24, 2017 at 10:48 am
Zvelo, a Denver-area firm whose services include content categorization and malicious detection data, is today launching what it describes as the first free bot detection service.
A Javascript tag is inserted into an ad or a web page, so that the service can analyze the activity of each visiting browser to determine if the user is non-human (that is, a software bot). The service is also designed to detect "low-quality traffic" (LQT), where people are paid to quickly surf ads or sites.
The detected browser signals include mouse movement, time on page, browser properties, the amount of the web page visible in the browser and other signs. A dashboard displays percentages of Non-Human Traffic (NHT) or LQT:
Those percentages indicate if there's a problem, Zvelo President and CEO Jeff Finn told me. If the advertiser or site wants to take action, he said, his company offers a paid data feed called the Invalid Traffic Dataset, which provides the specific IP addresses of the detected bots or LQT.
In a typical use case, he said, the advertiser that has decided it has a problem would instruct a demand-side platform (DSP) to decline a real-time bid to any of those IP addresses. Because bots frequently change their addresses, the feed is updated every 15 minutes.
Finn said about two-thirds of his company's customers are DSPs, and the remainder are supply-side platforms (SSPs) that are working with publishers to clean up their inventory or create premium sections.
Zvelo conducted a closed beta of the service with selected customers for three months. Finn said the bot detection service's accuracy is "above 90 percent," with non-human traffic generally in the 10 to 40 percent range for most customers and low-quality traffic about 5 to 10 percent.

Flavius Iulius Constantius was born in 317 and was the second of Constantine's three sons and was immediately named Caesar by his father.
Following the death of his father in 337 he instigated a massacre of all male relatives descending from his grandfather Constantius Chlorus, sparing his two brothers and two cousins Gallus and Julian.
In accordance with their fathers will, the three sons divided the empire between them. Constantius ruled the east while the western regions were divided between Constans and Constantine II.
While Constantius was in battle with the Sassanid's, Constantine II was killed while trying to overthrow Constans and as a result Constans became sole ruler of the western half of the empire. This once again changed when Constans was killed in battle in 350, while fighting against Magnentius who had declared himself emperor. As Constantius was still in battle at this stage he decided to elevate his cousin Gallus to the position of Caesar to continue the battle with the Sassanid's so he could take care of matters in the west.
The army led by Magnentius was crushed by Constantius in 351, and Magnentius committed suicide two years later. Gallus was eventually killed by Constantius but he soon realised he would not be able to handle the whole empire and was forced to elevate Julian to the position of Caesar in 355.
In 361, Julian was declared Augustus by his army in Gaul and as Julian and Constantius went to battle, Constantius fell ill with fever and soon died.
Julian became emperor of the entire empire.

Mom.
I often talk about what my parents sacrificed when I was growing up to focus on my education and physical shape. I always mention my mom, who quit her job and stayed at home after I was born until I was in my mid teens and my brother was in college. But when the time came, she did another extraordinary thing. She rejoined the work force and became a great success. It wasn't as simple as going to work somebody has saved for her. She had to start over. She needed to gain new skills. The world changed dramatically during the period during which she was a stay home mom. While she was caring for her Cerebral Palsy child, technology has taken over, new laws and accounting practices were in place. I can't imagine how much courage it took to do it, to try and keep up, to put yourself out there and pursue a new dream. I don't think I tell her enough how much I've always admired that. Some of it was at team effort. We've shown my mom some basic computer skills. I don't think my brother ever had the patience or time for it, so most of the time it was me. Often you had to explain everything step by step, sometimes more than once and I remember how she would write everything I said - down. I would also help with her English, and we would listen to songs and write out lyrics together. Yes, it was harder at the beginning because a lot of it had to feel like an entirely new world. And some of it required a lot of patience. Initially she would get things as easily as I or my friends did, but I had to remind myself to slow down and do things over. I think this is what families do for each other. They help. They work towards a common goal. Sometimes you learn, other times you teach. For months to come I've seen her attend accounting courses, an update on her outdated college degree. She was determined to make it, to offset her age she needed to be better than anybody else. We live in a tough economy. I hear a lot of people of all ages, often as young as straight out of university complain that they have no jobs, no skills, no concept. What can I tell them? Life is hard. But whenever I hear them looking for excuse for not trying harder, I remind myself that my mom was in her mid 40's when she went back to work. She had all the odds stacked against her. Her competition was most likely half her age and technologically savvy. But she had determination, a drive to succeed. She didn't mind the hard work, because she knew she needed it to move forward. Part of it had to be new and exciting as she felt she was learning and growing. After her kids were grown she needed to find new goals and fullfillment outside of the house. She loved being a mother, no doubt, but she has always been so much more. She deserved to do something for herself, to reach out and make it, to reorientate her life and find new goas. So many parents caring for kids with disabilities don't know what to with themselves after they dedicated themselves and they not needed as much. Getting back to life, to reality if you will has to be challenging. To own it is an entirely different level. I like to think that I take that ambition after my mother. It tough me that if you want to accomplish anything you must not get discouraged. Fight and try. Dream big. The focus, the work ethic and the love for what you do. My mom really loves accounting- reading up on new laws, going through new rules was often her bed time reading. She finds joy in learning new things and making discoveries in the field she's passionate about. It left with a belief that true talent will eventually shine. But you need to take charge over your life. But you need to try and try again. That was the amazing thing- at the age that most people feel like they no longer can compete she got a brand new life- and new ways to feel fulfilled. And with every new job and promotion she was challenged and she challenged her. How can you not be proud? If you look for a story that inspires me-look no further than my mom. I don't tell her enough, quite frankly I'm not sure I ever did

Hi, my name is Karin - I was also born with CP. Reading your blog about your mom made me think about mine.
She never let me get away with being disabled. I had to do things for myself. She would help only if I at least tried to do it myself. That gave me confidance and taught me to be independant. So I salute our moms. And to all moms with CP kids, enable your kids with tough love. We'll thank you for it later in life.
Wow, she's amazing.

If you've ever had a chemistry class, or even just a basic science class, you have likely encountered the periodic table of elements. It is a list of all the atomic elements we know of, sorted by mass and several other properties.
Our bodies contain quite a few of these, such as hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, iron, and many more. Vulcans, of course, would have to add copper.
Figure 1: (a) Our current periodic table of the elements (90 naturally occurring elements and a bunch more short-lived ones produced in the lab, Credit: http://iupac.org. (b) In Star Trek's time we'll know a few more. Credit: Star Fleet Medical Reference Manual.
Have you ever wondered where all these different elements come from? The most-common element is the first one, hydrogen. It and some of the next two, helium and lithium, were produced during the Big Bang, the beginning of the expansion of our Universe. The dense, hot cores of stars produce some of the others via thermonuclear fusion. For example, our Sun has been fusing hydrogen to helium for the last five billion years and will continue to do so for the next five billion years. In a later stage of life our Sun will produce carbon from helium. More massive stars can produce heavier elements during their lifetimes (our Sun is a somewhat below average star). The heaviest element that the most massive star can produce is iron. The reason is that up to iron the fusion reactions produce excess energy (which is why stars shine). To produce elements heavier than iron you have to put energy into the fusion reaction, and nature doesn't work that way unless there are vast amounts of energy in the ambient environment, a rare situation.
Many of us are wearing silver or gold jewelry (the vendors at Star Trek conventions have ever fancier versions of the various delta shields). So where do these heavier elements come from?
Once a massive star has reached the end of its fusion sequence, it explodes in a brilliant supernova. Such an event can be a billion times as bright as our Sun. This explosion releases a lot of extra energy into the locality, which can then be taken in by fusion of heavier elements. Until fairly recently, that's where we thought all the heavier elements were created.
In 1915, Albert Einstein said that if electromagnetic radiation (i.e. light) is generated by moving charges or changing magnetic fields, then gravitational radiation should be generated by moving masses. Sounds pretty logical, right? It took us 100 years to prove him right.
Now, what does that have to do with producing gold and silver? The 2015 detection of gravitational waves was possible by observing two events produced by a pair of black holes and a pair of neutron stars. I'll go more into detail about gravitational waves in the next blog, but for now, I'd like to concentrate on the binary neutron stars. As they orbit each other, their orbits get smaller (which is why they emit energy in the form of the gravitational waves), and eventually they will merge together. As neutron stars merge and explode in what is called a kilonova, their very dense substance suddenly becomes less dense, allowing for fusion reactions of heavy elements to take place in this environment with lots of extra energy. That's yet another way of making elements heavier than iron.
According to Edo Berger from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, the collision of two neutron stars may produce 10 times the mass of our Moon in pure gold (or more, and other cool stuff like silver and platinum). So, if it's gold you want, you know where to go with your starship (wait to approach until after the kilonova, as you do not want to get caught in that sort of cataclysm).
If we redo our table of the elements a bit, we can color-code where all the different elements come from.

Our funds center around the emerging science of health and happiness. No areas of science are more central to that theme than bioscience and neuroscience.
With the initiation of Joyance Partners, our fund focused on delightful moments, we have added deep domain expertise in these areas and evaluated literally thousands of brand new startups developing dramatic deep science solutions related to bio or neuro.
We've learned a lot about these areas of science over the past year. The most powerful insight was this: With the direction science is going, neuro and bio are no longer discreet areas of science. In fact, they increasingly overlap.
This is most pronounced in the microbiome, one of the startling and potentially revolutionary new arenas of scientific discovery. The actions of the microbiome show clear connections between changes in body biology and in brain action and vice versa. Alter the biome, and mood, emotion, and memory capacity shift. Shift brain behaviors in certain key ways, and the biome causes entire biological systems to shift. The microbiome seems to point toward the long-sought connection between our minds and our meat.
Thus, for 2019, we have decided to bring bio and neuro together into a single super focus area for our funds. We are calling this "life sciences," simply, to keep our awareness as broad as possible. But, under the hood, we have a rather thorough taxonomy for our focus.
This week, I will look into the more medical and care centric aspects of our Life Sciences investment focus. Next week, I will turn to the softer science elements we will be paying attention to this year.
These areas, we feel, hold promise for transforming diagnosis, disease management (or even its delay and moderation) and personalizing care.
We also see ways neuro and bio sciences can directly impact individual lives over the next few years. More on those areas of focus next week.

For some, being a freelancer is their dream job. Other think that having a regular job means more stability and room for growth. The truth is somewhere in-between, as both kinds of jobs have their ups and downs. But with freelancing gaining more popularity in recent years, it's become apparent that it's not as constraining as many have made out to be.
You not only choose if you accept a project or not, but you also choose when and where you work. You can freely say no to a project if you think it doesn't suit you for whatever reason, but you may also want to work in pajamas – and you can completely do that, without having someone from management screaming at you. Being a freelancer is all about choice, something that having a regular job doesn't really allow for, or at least not as much.
There's both a positive and a negative side to this. You fully reap the rewards for your hard-earned work, as the project has been yours to do since the beginning. It hasn't been assigned by someone in management that in the end will receive a bonus for delivering while you're paid only your standard salary. The negative side is that sometimes you have to wrestle with clients. Some of them genuinely want to pay you but can't, maybe because of budgetary constraints, but sometimes you'll have clients that will try to con you out of your hard-earned money.
This means no more business meetings in the morning with people that don't really understand your work. When working freelance you'll get to fully create the business plans that in the end you'll be proposing to clients, or in contrast, you don't have to ask permission to change something in the project because that decision falls unto you. It might get more stressful, especially if you have to make a complex and detailed plan, or if the client is picky, but overall you have much more control over how a project will be done.
Unless you enjoy the perks of a corporate job, you'll have more fun and feel more passionate when you're doing the thing that makes you happy, as well make a living out of it. Freelancing is all about choice, yes, but in the end it means you've chosen a field that brings you joy, which can't really be said about most corporate jobs. You'll be doing your thing your way, and for many people that's a much larger positive than any other positive from any other type of job.
You might not get a cushy office or be part of a team, but when freelancing you'll be making your own mark on the world individually. That's usually much more thrilling and personal, and it's a type of liberation that only a freelancer knows. Most, if not all, freelancers wouldn't never go back to a regular job – for a reason.

Background: Fractures of the hip are the cause of hospitalization in the geriatric population. In many cases, hip fractures are a sentinel event signaling a systemic decline in the patient's health. Methods: A retrospective review of the cases of 88 patients aged 75 years or older with proximal femoral fracture was performed. Fracture types, surgical procedures, walking ability before the injury and at discharge, and waiting time from injury to surgery were obtained. Results: No significant difference was observed in walking ability before injury among patients with femoral neck fracture treated with bipolar hip arthroplasty (BHA) or open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and those with trochanteric fracture. The degree of deterioration of walking ability was 0.6 in patients treated with BHA, 1.2 in those with neck fracture treated with ORIF, and 1.1 in those with trochanteric fracture. Deterioration was significantly less severe in patients who received BHA, compared with those who received ORIF. Conclusions: Among the patients aged 75 years or older with femoral neck fracture, those who received BHA had a shorter time interval to the start of walking with parallel assist bars or with walking aids, and also had a higher rate of regaining walking ability.

OKLAHOMA CITY (August 9, 2018) – The National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) today released Strengthening Reading Instruction through Better Preparation of Elementary and Special Education Teachers, a report that examines all 50 states' and the District of Columbia's teacher certification requirements to ensure teacher candidates are prepared in the science of reading. Oklahoma was one of only eleven states that require both elementary and special education teacher candidates to demonstrate sufficient knowledge of the science of reading as part of the standard certification process. The science of reading refers to a body of research on brain organization and development that offers insights into how children build reading skills. It's worth noting that Oklahoma expects the same demonstration of knowledge for early childhood certification as well. "This recognition is evidence of Oklahoma's commitment to provide well-trained educators who have proven competency in the science of reading and who have the ability to foster strong literacy skills in our youth," said Joy Hofmeister, State Superintendent of Public Instruction. "Literacy opens the door to learning and is the foundation for a successful education. By investing in teacher quality, we're not only ensuring effective reading instruction, but comprehension in all subject areas." View more information and download the NCTQ report.

'Entire generations of family come together' to enjoy La Salette's 500,000 lights
Kathryn Gallerani
Standard-Times
ATTLEBORO — With the throw of a switch at 5 p.m. every night of the Christmas Festival of Lights, more than 500,000 lights shine bright for visitors eager to see the displays.
This year the National Shrine of Our Lady of La Salette celebrates its 70th year of its annual Christmas Festival of Lights.
For Alexis Alves of Bristol, Rhode Island, going to see the lights at the National Shrine of Our Lady of La Salette is all about family, Christmas and happiness during the holidays.
"I've been coming to see the lights since I was a kid, so it's just a family thing doing we've been doing for years," she said. "Now that I have a daughter, I'm just passing it on."
The Festival at 947 Park St. in Attleboro opened on Thanksgiving and will continue every night from 5 to 9 p.m. through Sunday, Jan. 1. Entry is free although donations are accepted.
The Rev. Flavio Gillio, M.S., has been the shrine director for seven years since his superior asked him to engage in the ministry of Our Lady of La Salette in Attleboro. He said visitors attend the Christmas Festival of Lights for different reasons, from religious reasons to enjoyment of leisure time.
"It's one of the few events of this dimension," he said. "This is the biggest religious display in all New England with more than 500,000 lights all around the property. It's one of the few events where you could actually see I think entire generations of family come together, from their children and great grandchildren and then the parents and grandparents to enjoy the lights or for religious reasons as a pilgrimage for the season of Advent."
It's estimated the Roman Catholic community has about 500,000 visitors during the five to seven weeks of the festival with a new theme each year.
Trains, Christmas lights, rides:How Edaville's new owner is getting 'back to its roots'
Well-organized teams
This year the theme is "Jesus Christ – The Living Light." He said the hope is that by offering visitors this experience, they will be reminded of the true meaning of Christmas.
A team of people work on the Festival of Lights, the team ministry of the Shrine chooses the theme and a team of four people finalize the whole display because a lot of the lights are taken down at the end of the Christmas season (having started to put the lights up in September).
Most of the lights are on trees and can be seen from almost everywhere on the property.
Is Taunton the 'best' Christmas city?This list says yes — and here's why
All the missionaries at the Shrine get involved with the Masses, the confessions and the blessing of the gift shop, he said, so it's quite an operation that requires the ability to work together and the and the same time dependently because then every team has a specific task.
"We have about 180 volunteers who need also to be coordinated because otherwise we would not be able to offer what we are offering to the people," he said. "We have volunteers in the gift shop, the International Creche Museum and in the booths. It's quite an operation that involves close to 200 people."
He said it's probably the largest creche museum in New England, with more than 2,000 pieces from all over the world, and was started by one of the Shrine's founders, the Rev. Manuel Pereira, M.S. Many of the pieces are donated, and the number grows each year.
It has been renovated for this season with a new look thanks to volunteer work by an interior designer and digital artist and the Rev. Bernard Baris, M.S. from the La Salette Shrine.
Historic preservation:A historic New Bedford Carriage House has been renovated. Here's what it looks like now.
Volunteers find special meaning
Sister Monica Htun has been volunteering at the festival for five years starting in the gift shop as well as in the church. For the resident of Burma, the La Salette Shrine is where her heart is, so it's special to be able to volunteer as a La Salette sister for as long as her mission continues.
"I'm happy and I have a lot of inspiration from this Shrine," she said. "A lot of people are so supportive, my priest brothers and my sisters are very supportive, so I've become more confidant and happy."
Coming from a Buddhist country and moving to a country where there are more Catholics, Htun said her family used to have some lights and would eat together for Christmas so the LaSalette light displays are an inspiration.

Samsung refuses to accept its new flagships, the Galaxy S9 and S9+ may not sell better than the previous models and announced its promotion centers in South Korea were visited by more than 1.6 million people in just five days.
Obviously, the reason these people came to Samsung's promotion studios is to test out the new Galaxy S9/S9+. As a matter fact, visitors were offered the chance to create their own emojis, one of the main features that Samsung marketed since the Galaxy S9's announcement.
Samsung has Galaxy Studios across Barcelona, Spain, where consumers can come and take the new Galaxy S9 and S9+ for a spin. The South Korean company has already kicked off pre-orders for its flagship smartphones, which will be released on March 16 in major markets and gradually expand to other regions.
Industry watchers claim Galaxy S9 pre-orders in South Korea fall short of Samsung' expectations, but we'll probably have access to a more accurate assessment in the coming months.
I know company will use any data available to them to convince people to buy their products and other stuff. But still this stunt seems kinda desperate move from Samsung.
Like I said before. I will never listen to anything that come out of the company's mouth wether it's Apple or Samsung. Better off let the consumers speak themself. Samsung did really shoot themself in the foot this year by trying to be like the boring company for not changing the design. Beautiful phone but who wanna buy something that already look the same as last year. Camera got better in low light but over all I like the Pixel2 camera better imo. Well Note 9 better be different Sammy boy. LG, Sony, Nokia hurry bring something out will ya. It's your chance.
That's ridiculous. It is neither economical nor smart for a company to drastically change the design of their product every year. No company with a good brand identity does that. Get real.
Had a hands-on of the S9 & S9+ models yesterday. First impression is that it just looks like an S8/S8+ if not for the huge product material display with the S9/S9+ name on it. Not many changes to the interface compared to an S8. But one thing I noticed was how lightweight the phone is, to the point that it feels like cheap plastic instead of glass and metal. It just doesn't feel like a premium phone despite the price tag. The camera feels promising, but comparatively its only slightly better than the already-great cameras from S8/S8+ and my Note 8. The Slow-mo effect can also be easily overlooked. Price-wise, its at least $200 more expensive than the S8/S8+. At this point I don't think there's much for anyone with an S8/S8+ to hop on the S9 bandwagon. All I can say is, wait for the Note 9 instead.
Yea, comparing photos on phone display is th best way to do it, you got a point, its a slight upgrade.
Lightweight? The phones are heavier than their predecessors which weren't lightweight to begin with. I have to disagree with you on that one.
No. It's less than a credit card wider & two hundredths of an inch thicker. Those are negligible increases. Don't feed into the ignorance.
If you look relatively, S9 is 6.25% thicker than the S8. And try to be nice, no one owes you nothing.
And I would call negligible considering the overall size. Also, I like how you conveniently left out the fact that it's less than 1% wider. Besides, I was being nice & while your double negative betrays you, I already realize no one owes me anything. I don't see what that has to do with anything though.
"Don't feed into the ignorance." This is the nicest sentence ever written, yeah for sure. I am allowed to put my perspective, ain't I? You're the one who took it negatively.
I never said it was "the nicest sentence ever written". I said I was being nice which, from my perspective, I was. You're allowed to say whatever you want. That should be obvious. This is the internet. Welcome.
How does the glass and metal on it feel like cheap plastic when it's the same type of GG5 and metal frame used on all smartphones, INCLUDING the S8 that you just said they felt the same while holding. What you didn't know is that the S9 is even heavier than the S8. You lost all the credibility in your comment by this sentence alone. Then comes the camera, reviewers have had the phone for a week now and a small number of them did a brief camera reviews because it's still running on pre-production software, yet you were able to give us a conclusion about the camera after trying a store demo unit?
He needs to do some homework before he speaks. Lighter than the s8, thats funny because it is heavier, lol.
pre-production and retail unit won't differ by huge margins. heck i doubt it will be any different. at this point, flagship cameras are all great, some have cons and pros on their own, no camera is "the best" on all aspects.
Where at? I haven't been to my local Best Buy yet. Being a Note user, as far as S models go, I just look at what's new on that & look forward to what will be bigger & better on the Note that comes out in the fall. Interesting that you say it feels lighter than its predecessor.
"...one thing I noticed was how lightweight the phone is, to the point that it feels like cheap plastic instead of glass and metal." Not sure what kind of demo you had but at Best Buy the S9+ felt heavier than the S8+ & both the S8 & S9 feel light to me. Not cheap, just light.
Yeah, they visited, then they realized that the S9 is grossly overpriced and brings nothing new worthy of the new price. Then they left.
It costs the exact same as the S8. If it costs more in your country, blame your government for increasing customs duty/your currency depreciating in value.
I tested an s9+ at a mall yesterday. It was ok, but really felt boring. The camera was spectacular, they even had dummy objects that move fast for you to test the slow motion camera. The phone is really solid but I just wasn't impressed overall. If you're wanting to find a wow factor in a phone,this isn't it and the price tag is ridiculous.
To a point I agree, it's not a huge update for people with a s8/s8+. A lot of upgrades will be come from people with phones older then the s8 and s8+, so for them it will be a big update.
Emoji stuff on Samsung is a bit questionable. Works with Apple since they have majority of children playing on social media, but don't know about Samsung.
The only thing don't like about S9/S9 plus armoji other than both phones are better than S8 and S8 plus especially Samsung made it more wider and easy to hold unlike tall S8 plus.

Wednesday Morning Roundup
by Stephen Becker 9 Jun 2010
Today in the roundup: arts giving (surprise) is down, there's new music in Forth Worth and old music in Dallas, and another theater announces its next season.
YOU COULD HAVE GUESSED THIS: American arts and culture institutions received 2.4 percent less in gifts in 2009 than they did in 2008, according to Bloomberg, which sites a report by the Giving USA Foundation. If you're a glass-half-full kinda person, at least you can say that that's a smaller drop than the 6.4 percent decrease from 2007 to 2008! Overall, $12.3 billion was donated to the arts last year. If this trend is going to turn around as the economy rebounds, a new argument for arts philanthropy will have to be made says The Art Newspaper.
MUSIC BITS: Fort Worth's The Orbans have posted a video for "Like a Liar," the lead track off their debut album, When We Were Wild. (DC9 at Night) … Mario Tarradell takes you back 20 years, to when Richard Marx was king of the airwaves, ahead of his appearance with the DSO (Richard's, not Mario's). (dallasnews.com)
THEATER BITS: Richard Kline, of Three's Company fame, says theater is really his first love. He plays the Wizard in the touring production of Wicked that's currently camped out at the Music Hall at Fair Park. (dfw.com) … Denton's Sundown Collaborative Theatre has announced its 2010-11 season. The season kicks off in August with a new piece called Collaborative Moments on Love.

Government response to Gowers - but where's the money coming from?
Unknown Wednesday, February 21, 2007 - copyright, criminal enforcement, Gowers Review, trading standards
The IPKat learns from ComputerWeekly.com that the Government has responded super-swiftly to the Gowers Review. Malcolm Wicks, the Trade and Industry Minister has announced that, from 6 April, s.107A of the CDPA, which empowers local Trading Standards Officers to enforce criminal sanctions for certain types of copyright infringement, will come into force with £5million of funding. According to Mr Wicks:
"From 6 April there will be an additional 4,500 pairs of Trading Standards eyes watching counterfeiters and pirates. This may mean more surprise raids at markets and boot sales, more intelligence, more prosecutions and more criminals locked up. IP criminals should know that the UK is not a safe place".
The IPKat says he's glad he's not a Trading Standards officer. That's only £1,111.11 per extra officer. Either the extra officers are prepared to work for proverbial peanuts, or funding is being redirected from elsewhere.
