Not Just a "One-Horse Institution:" Following the Students of the North Dakota Agricultural College
With the Students of the North Dakota Agricultural College is a 1913 film produced by the Selig Polyscope Company and was distributed by the General Film Company.
Aside from IMDb's basic details, not much easily accessible information exists about this film. I am curious to learn more, but where to begin? After searching some larger online archives and coming up empty handed, I looked into the college itself.
North Dakota Agricultural College is now North Dakota State University, located in Fargo. NDAC started in 1890 as a land-grant college. The Morrill Act of 1862 gave U.S. states land to develop colleges for educating wider sections of the population in argicultural and mechanical arts. Though many of these universities still operate today, not all highlight their status as a land-grant institution.
NDSU maintains a special collection with artifacts of its own history, so I contacted the people there and asked about the film. While Archives Associate John Hallberg had not heard of it, he did a search within those archives and found some student newspaper (The Spectrum) coverage and a yearbook spread about the event that the film likely documents.
The event was called the "Student Life Special Train." Perhaps like today's chartered busses and limos, trains were booked for special events at the time. In 1911, for example, the Western Governors' Special brought governors from Minnesota, Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Oregon to visit Midwest and east coast states to promote business and other connections.
According to a news story, "Never before in the history of this country has such an enterprise as this been inaugurated." The journey covered 4,000 miles to 21 cities in 20 days. Along with the dignitaries, five train cars featured exhibits showcasing these western states' resources. The train also carried "a barber, tailor, stenographers, [and] typewriters for those of the newspaper men who accompany the train and special stationery for the governors."
The next sentence in that same newspaper story caught my attention: "Motion pictures will be made showing the departure of the special from St. Paul, and the films will be displayed over the prominent American vaudeville circuits." What was the name of that film, who produced it, where was it shown, and what did people think of it? Questions for another post, I suppose.
The Student Life Special Train appears modeled after the Western Governors' Special Train. While the IMDb description claims the film traveled "throughout the great Northwest," it actually traveled throughout North Dakota, visiting more than 30 cities in four days in February 1913. The cars included a dining car, a coach car, an observation car, a sleeper, and two baggage cars. The Great Northern Railway Company provided the equipment.
NDAC students planned and ran every part of the trip. As the student newspaper proclaimed, "This is a train of the students, for more students, by the students." Home economics students prepared the meals in the dining car. The coach car included motion pictures operated by students. The baggage cars featured exhibits such as state geological maps from the Geology Department, fertilizer exhibits from the Chemistry Department, and candy from the Home Economics Department. At various stops, other student groups, including the Cadet Band, Crack Squad, Dramatic Club, College "Y" Quarter, and the orchestra, performed.
Several special guests accompanied students on this trip. A staff correspondent of the London Times and Telegram, Marguerite Curtiss, joined them from London. Lloyd McDowell, who rode on the Western Governors' Special, also came along. A film company representative also came for the trip — in this case a Mr. Buckwalter from Selig.
Despite a snowstorm — it was a North Dakota winter, after all — the trip appeared to be a success, even with a $78.27 deficit.
Much enthusiasm surrounded the trip, not surprisingly in the student newspaper as both the trip and the paper were run by the student council. One story offered exalting language similar to the Western Governors' Special: "The students of the North Dakota Agricultural College are preparing to launch out on an expedition, such as has never before been attempted by an educational institution."
But what was the purpose of all this? According to the student newspaper, it was to raise awareness about the mission and benefits of the college. One newspaper story began, "Few people appreciate the mission of an Agricultural College." In other words, the special train was a publicity campaign for the college "to do away with the notion that the Agricultural College is a one-horse institution."
For me, all of this background helps with answering two general questions: It suggests possible film scenes, and it explains the film's purpose. And, of course, it raises more questions than it answers.

That's fascinating. I wonder if this trip was part of a class (or perhaps several working together) as a project to showcase skills as well? If not, they missed an opportunity there 😉
DocSite
The trip was a college-wide enterprise. It was definitely about showcasing the skills that the college could offer potential students, including homemaking and farming, but also the fine arts. As land-grant institutions, these schools had different missions and purposes than the normal schools, which engaged primarily in teacher training. The land-grant schools in the western states were so much newer than the normal schools, so they had to do something to distinguish themselves.
This post is my "something new"–I hadn't heard of land grant institutions. It makes sense, especially as quickly as things were changing with the invention and growing use of various machines and chemicals that were appearing in farming and other aspects of life. It does seem strange to think back on a time when very very few people went to college and then only for a few select things because going for anything and everything is so widespread today :p
I went to one of each — a land grant and a former teachers' college. They felt very different in purpose and product, and not just based on Carnegie and other national rankings. While few people went to college then, progressivism and education — cultural uplift — played important roles in that era around the 1800s and 1900s.

Welcome to NUXR. We just launched. This is the first blog entry. I am Daniel Travolto CEO & Founder and i will put all my weight in this project to make it succeed. The aim of NUXR is simple and straight forward. To provide business & product reviews globally on all available platforms be they mobile or desktop eventually even as Augmented Reality apps.
Businesses constantly need new way to reach a maximum number of customers. There is always somebody who couldn't find your business because they just used a different search than other customers. We want to make sure that your business is found.
My strategy to make this business work is to recruit a large number of independent sales representatives who will earn a monthly income by adding and editing the NUXR business and product database. Thereby pushing businesses into NUXR who would otherwise go unnoticed. This way the database will always be up to date and sales pros will be happy with the income they earn with relatively low effort on their part.


For a fast way to add life and charm to your home's exterior, add window boxes. They are so versatile in both style and ways you can use them. You could plant flowers to compliment your color scheme or use them to decorate for the seasons and holidays, for example. And because there are several different types of window boxes, whether you desire a traditional, modern, or rustic look, you could place them on virtually any home's exterior. They come pre-made, or you could always fabricate one yourself; there are plenty of DIY's out there.
This is another good option to add color and character to your home's exterior. Shelves are versatile as well in usage and style. You could place potted plants, flowers, or other decor items that stand up to the sun and the rain. And think about this idea: in the summer, you could use the shelf for a herb garden. Even better, if you have a kitchen window, place your herb garden there. Imagine having your fresh herbs within arm's reach! Perhaps one of the best things about a shelf versus a window box is the ease in bringing your potted plants indoors during the winter to enjoy them all year round.
Installing shutters can seriously amp up your home's curb appeal. Decorative shutters are a great way to add a layer of color and contrast to your home. And, your shutters can also be functional to control light, ventilation, and provide privacy. They can come in a variety of styles, materials, and colors to compliment your home. Or, if you're into DIY, you could research how to make them yourself; there are some pretty neat shutters made from old barn wood, for example.
Pergolas will add a level of class and beauty to your windows. There is something about them that just makes you want to step back and admire them; they are so striking! You could plant a climbing plant such as honeysuckle, or even hang planters with flowers from the pergola. A trellis could be an additional accessory to add to the pergola's charm.
This may sound like an obvious one, but it is also seriously underrated. Having sparkling clean windows can do so much to beautify your home. The problem is, most people just plain don't like to clean their windows because of the hassle and mess and streaks. It is possible, however, to clean your windows like a professional and enjoy doing it as well. Click here for how to clean your windows like a pro.
Whichever route you choose will be a good one; you will have added equity, and you'll feel proud of your home. You'll have enhanced the curb appeal of your home, and leave lasting impressions on passersby.

The Reno/Sparks chapter of the Recovering From Religion support group will meet on February 4th, 2020 at 7:00P.M. at Reno Hive Coworking. It is located on the second floor of Arlington Towers. Attendees can remain anonymous if they so choose and are not required to tell their story if they do not wish to, but everyone will be welcomed to do so. The primary focus of a Recovering From Religion support group is to provide ongoing and personal support to individuals as they let go of their religious beliefs. This transitional period is an ongoing process that can result in a range of emotions, as well as a ripple effect of consequences throughout an individual's life. As such, the support meetings are safe and anonymous places to express these doubts, fears, and experiences without biased feedback or proselytizing. We are here to help each other through this journey. There is no cost to attend this support group but, if you feel so inclined, donations can be made at www.recoveringfromreligion.org/donate Find out more about the event and group at https://www.meetup.com/rfr-reno-sparks-nv/

They both go to the same chiropractor, so that is the one I decided to go to as well since they were both so happy with the entire staff there. I was able to get in relatively quickly, and I could see why my friends were happy patients there. I had to fill out a medical history form, and by the time I did that and gave them my insurance card, it was time to head back to the examination room.
The chiropractor put me at ease right away. He has a really nice bedside manner, which is a huge plus in my book. He did a physical examination so he could determine exactly where the pain is. He also took some X-rays, and then he was able to share a couple of different treatment plans. I went with the one that he recommended the most, which was adjustments twice a week, a massage once a week, and home exercises on a daily basis. He showed me the exercises in his office, and I followed the treatment plan exactly as it was. That was months ago, and I no longer have any pain!


Hello everyone! How have you all been? Are you finding exciting vintage finds? I am finally ready to return to the "real world." Let me warn you though: about 25% of my brain cells have been deleted and 25% are unaccounted for. While I may be getting slightly more sleep, I still feel off-kilter and crazy. I had a baby girl, Imogene, and she unfortunately has acid reflux pretty bad and it's been a little overwhelming at times. She is two months old now and finally I feel like a sense of balance is slowly being regained.
This last weekend was my son's fourth birthday. I can't believe it! Although, turning four was much easier to take than turning three for whatever reason. A little thing I like to do for him is read these three books. They all have a common theme of celebrating birthdays. So if you need to pick up a present for a vintage-lover, check them out.
Let's start with the most obvious vintage birthday book, Happy Birthday to You by Dr. Seuss. Did you know he pronounced his last name "Soice"? Anyway…yes, this book is still being printed today. But let me tell you, the vintage printing is way more amazing. The colors are so incredibly vibrant in the vintage printing that it is worth it to search an antique store to find one. I found this copy for $3.50 and paid $10.00 for another one. Well worth it.
This book is pretty long, so a toddler might only be able to get through half of it. But at four, Oliver can sit right through it.
My next birthday book is A Very, Very Special Day by Frances Ullmann DeArmand. The illustrations in this book are so mid century.
This book interacts with the reader a little more and keeps them guessing as to what this special day actually is. This year my son kept guessing what day he thought it was!
My last birthday book is Fortunately by Remy Charlip. My son thinks this book is hilarious and giggled all the way through it. One page is fortunate circumstances with colorful illustrations, one page unfortunate circumstances with black and white illustrations.
Don't worry, the ending is fortunate! Do you have any birthday book suggestions? If so, be sure and let us know.

A Safe Return to School
It's not over… 'till its over.
At the end of last Spring, it seemed like we had finally taken a turn for the best, with the COVID-19 vaccination efforts in full blast. With millions of people getting their shots, the promise of a return to normalcy looked more within reach. But then millions of people decided, they didn't want the vaccine and the return to normalcy screeched to a halt once more. Global data trends show that the coronavirus pandemic isn't over. Not yet.
It's vital that parents stay in touch with the school to learn about the health and safety protocols that will be implemented.
After a long time without stepping into classrooms because of the COVID-19 pandemic, both students and parents may feel anxious when faced with a new adjustment process as classes return to school rooms this academic year. However, any apprehension should be tempered with the realization that Froebel Bilingual School has taken all the necessary requirements to provide a safe environment for on site instruction.
As ordered by the local government, COVID vaccinations will be required for all students ages 12 and up. Evidence of vaccination will be collected by the homeroom teachers for verification. Masks will be mandatory for all at school. To learn more about our safety protocols, access our COVID Safety Measures in this web site's home page.

Student Nonprofit Alliance Hurricane Relief - SRU Foundation, Inc.
Over the past two weeks we have watched in disbelief as Hurricanes Harvey and Irma have devastated southeastern Texas and now Florida. Some of us have families and friends who were impacted by these storms. Many of us have visited these communities and know their beauty first hand. All of us have been humbled by the havoc these storms brought to people's daily lives. Most of us have wondered what we can do to help.
There are donations to support hurricane relief efforts. By combining our resources, our campus community will be able to help address the daunting work that lies ahead.
From September 20 to October 12, 2018, individuals can make an online donation at www.srufoundation.org/snahurricane.
Campus organizations can also add to the total by hosting a fundraising event and donating funds raised to the campus-wide relief effort.
Designated amounts by organization will be sent to these organizations for hurricane relief efforts in North Carolina.
The Student Nonprofit Alliance (SNA) is an on-campus organization comprised of SRU students who are preparing for careers in the nonprofit section. As part of our professional training, we have agreed to assist SGA and to coordinate a campus-wide hurricane relief effort.
The Student Nonprofit Alliance invites you to become part of a caring community that supports those who have lost so much. Between September 12 and 23 we are coordinating a campus-wide fundraising campaign to support both the Texas and Florida relief efforts. By combining our resources, our campus community will be able to help address the daunting work ahead in Texas and Florida. When you donate you will be asked to identify which organization (Catholic Charities, Red Cross or Salvation Army) that you want your contribution to support. Half of all funds raised for each charity will then be sent to that relief organization in the Houston area and the other half to the Florida-based organization.

Home›IT World›Preview: Nick Kyrgios brings hot form to Cincinnati | ATP Tour
Preview: Nick Kyrgios brings hot form to Cincinnati | ATP Tour
By James R. Bennett
If there's one thing Nick Kyrgios has never lacked, it's confidence in his game. Even in what he's dubbed his 'darkest moments', when he even questioned his breadwinner, he never lost that self-confidence, the knowledge that when he's on his game, he can hold his own against the sport's elite.
"I could lose five matches in a row and I still believe I have a chance to beat anyone," Canberran, 27, said last week in Montreal, where he beat world number one Daniil Medvedev to the third time in four ATP Head2Heads.
A refocused and reinvigorated Kyrgios finds himself in Medvedev's quarters again at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati, though there are a few hurdles standing in the way of a rematch. The Australian will start with a first meeting with Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina on Tuesday at the Linder Family Tennis Center, and could later face Taylor Fritz or Andrey Rublev if he advances.
Off a subpar 4-9 start to 2022, Davidovich Fokina turned his year into April with a dream run to the first ATP Tour final of his career. He came to the hallowed clay of the Rolex Monte-Carlos Masters, and saw the 22-year-old Andalusian stun Novak Djokovic, David Goffin, Fritz and then top-ranked Grigor Dimitrov by reaching the title match, where he eventually succumbed to defending champion Stefanos Tsitsipas, 6-3, 7-6(3).
Despite a back-to-back loss to Poland's Hubert Hurkacz in the quarter-finals in Montreal, Kyrgios has put himself in a much better position heading into the US Open, where he will now be among the top seeds. Including his run to his first major final at Wimbledon, Kyrgios has won nine straight, including the title match in Washington, and won 15 of 17 matches to lift his Pepperstone ATP ranking to 28th.
Medvedev, Cincinnati's 2019 title roster, will face Rafael Nadal this week for the world No. 1, as Nadal has the opportunity to reclaim the job for the first time since January 2020. he was coming back. wins the title and Medvedev does not reach the quarter-finals. The result will determine the top seed at Flushing Meadows.
First up for Medvedev is Western & Southern Open debutant Botic van de Zandschulp, who has hit a new career high 12 times in 2022, peaking at No. 24 in July. He beat the Dutchman in the 2021 US Open quarter-finals, 6-3, 6-0, 4-6, 7-5, later winning the first major of his career. He again prevailed against van de Zandschulp in the third round of the 2022 Australian Open, 6-4, 6-4, 6-2.
"For sure [I] I want to try and win as many games as possible here to develop that confidence to win games for the US Open," said Medvedev, who enters his 13th week as world No. 1, overtaking Boris Becker in the overall rankings. the temperature. "But we're going to take it game by game. As seen in the draw, I feel like the draw is very, very dense. Sometimes you have someone retiring here and there, someone tired from the season, maybe not in the best shape here. When I watch the draw, I'm like, 'Wow, every game we have, even in the first round, is a tough game.' »
Tuesday's lineup will also feature: Fritz vs Sebastian Baez, Jannik Sinner vs qualifier Thanasi Kokkinakis, Carlos Alcaraz vs joker Mackenzie McDonald and an all-American bout between Tommy Paul and Jenson Brooksby.
Alcaraz is still getting used to its success. Seeded No. 2 last week at the National Bank Open in Montreal, he was ousted in the first round by Paul, 6-7(4), 7-6(7), 6-3, later confident that the pressure, expectations happened to him.
"It was the first time I felt this pressure, and I couldn't handle it," said the 19-year-old Spaniard.
The No. 3 seed in Cincinnati, he says he's "trying to use the pressure in my favor now." He already has ATP Masters 1000 titles this year in Miami and Madrid, and could move from No. 4 to No. 2 in the Pepperstone ATP rankings if he continues to win the title this week.

Over time, many women begin to notice their breasts changing due to pregnancy, weight loss, breastfeeding, and the natural aging process. Others may feel their breasts are asymmetrical, underdeveloped, or too small and desire a bigger, perkier, and more balanced chest. Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammaplasty, uses implants to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breasts for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
When Should You Consider Breast Augmentation?
You may feel that your breasts look uneven or do not complement your figure. Breast augmentation can correct breast asymmetry and achieve breasts that fit with the rest of your body to create a more balanced appearance.
As your breasts fluctuate with time and life changes, they can become smaller, flatter, and deflated. Breast augmentation can restore volume to your breasts for a more voluptuous appearance.
If you are feeling unsatisfied with the appearance of your breasts and wish to make a change, our team can help you address all of your needs. No concern is too big or too small for us.
Saline implants are made of an outer silicone shell filled with sterile saline (saltwater) solution.
Silicone implants are made of an outer silicone shell filled with a cohesive silicone gel.
Implant placement can affect the overall positioning of your breasts. Dr. Hadeed usually performs submuscular breast augmentation surgery, where the implants are placed beneath the pectoral muscles. This helps create a more natural breast shape.
However, more active women, particularly those who routinely use their chest muscles, may prefer a subglandular placement above the muscles to avoid implant distortion during muscle contraction.
Breast augmentation can be combined with other surgical procedures like breast lift surgery or a Mommy Makeover for even more enhancement.
After your surgery, you will be asked to wear a special compression bra to support your breasts and maintain their new shape. Swelling and bruising should resolve after a few weeks. You will need to avoid any heavy lifting for several weeks. You should be able to return to work two weeks following your procedure unless otherwise instructed.
Breast augmentation results can be seen immediately after surgery. However, it may take several months for the swelling to subside completely and for the implants to settle. Most women feel more self-confident after complete recovery from the procedure.
Scars will depend on the type of incision used during your breast augmentation procedure. Should any visible scarring occur, it can be easily hidden by clothing and will fade over time.
The cost of your breast augmentation will be based on implant type, the incisions used, and other factors. Dr. Hadeed will work with you to determine a surgical plan that best meets your individual needs while creating the results you desire.
Ideal candidates should be in good health and have realistic expectations. Women with volume loss, undeveloped or asymmetrical breasts, or naturally small breasts can opt for this procedure. Patients will be asked to stop smoking and drinking for a few weeks before and after their surgery.
How long does breast augmentation usually take?
The length of breast augmentation surgery can vary depending on the amount of correction needed. Typically, the procedure will take around an hour to complete.
Are there any risks or side effects involved with breast augmentation?


Microsoft has released KB3125574 which is a convenience update of critical updates from 2011 (SP1) to April 2016.

Nice tutorial, a couple of notes though.
1. On my first attempt the Unmount-WIM command failed, probably because I had Windows Explorer open and pointed at one of the working directories, leading to me having to rename the directories for a second attempt.
3. You might want to suggest that the file C:\7DVD\sources\ei.cfg be deleted before creating the ISO in order to create an all-editions install image.
Thanks for your comments Kurt, it is only by getting feedback that I can get a chance to improve the above list.
Did you have etfsboot.com, OSCDIMG.EXE, and ISO Creator for 64-bit.cmd all together in the same folder - (C:\7ISO)?
Kurt_Aust wrote: 3. You might want to suggest that the file C:\7DVD\sources\ei.cfg be deleted before creating the ISO in order to create an all-editions install image.
I never gave this a thought as it is not an issue for me, however, I have amended the above procedure to include this option.
Looking at it, you could make it easier for the end user (and hence less likely for them to make mistakes) by putting more into the batch files.
This reworking only requires that WAIK be installed, the source image be extracted to \7SP1 and all downloads saved to \7RVM (being the batch file & the 3 4 updates), no other directories needed (and the directories can be on any drive, although it should have at least 20GB free space).

Is there not a tool like nLite, to allow slipstreaming of this into the media, then make an iso?

Why you say that? I don't recall ever having problems with any of those 3 ??
It turns out that the guide as written only works for Win 7 Ultimate and hence cannot be used to create an All-in-One updated install DVD.
The rewritten batch files above (post 5) fix this issue and allow more flexibility as well as improved ease of use.
%Drive%:\7RVM\imagex.exe /export %Drive%:\7SP2-64\sources\install.wim 1 %Drive%:\7SP2-96\sources\install.wim "Windows 7 HOMEBASIC x64"

Here is a log file of my results using your .cmd file.
I'll assume that you haven't installed WAIK and have gotten oscdimg.exe another way.
Also is your source an original Microsoft disk or an OEM remaster? (I used a Digital River download for my tests).
Kurt_Aust wrote: I'll assume that you haven't installed WAIK and have gotten oscdimg.exe another way.
Everything is working perfectly. Just created a new DVD with Convenience Rollup and added KB3161608 to fix the Windows Update bug. Thanks very much for a time saver script. You might want to add KB3161608 to your script, so Windows update works right away. Thanks again.
Hi Kurt_Aust, I've not been online for quite some time but I really appreciate all your effort to make this better for everybody. When I get the chance, I will endeavour to incorporate your suggestions into the first post, unless you would rather do an updated post yourself?
Should KB3161608 (update fix) be installed before or after KB3125574 or doesn't it really matter?

So deleting ei.cfg means nothing in this case as not all the versions are updated ?

Is there no way to fool the system that WAIK is installed by just using the files downloaded via "GetWaikTools" ?
=[FEAR]=JIGSAW wrote: So deleting ei.cfg means nothing in this case as not all the versions are updated ?
Partly correct, each image has to updated separately and then merged back into the WIM file, deleting ei.cfg still would allow installing all versions but only Win7 Ult would be updated to April 2016.

In theory you only need oscdimg.exe (& imagex.exe for multi-arch) via GetWaikTools, but I haven't tested this.
The really annoying part is that I'd just about finished writing and testing a refined version of this topic, so do I wait for a fix or just publish as is with a broken Windows Update?
You should wait and see what type of fix MS will provide.

The deaths of 14 Sri Lankan soldiers in two separate attacks on Sunday and Tuesday have significantly raised tensions between the Colombo government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). The killings come amid rising violence in the North and East of the island involving the LTTE, the armed forces and various paramilitary outfits aligned to the military.
The first attack on Sunday took place at Kondavil near the northern Jaffna town. Six soldiers died when two claymore mines detonated next to a tractor on which they were travelling. Another soldier later died of his injuries. The government and military immediately blamed the LTTE for the incident, which the US State Department also condemned as a breach of the ceasefire.
Seven more soldiers were killed yesterday in another attack using a claymore mine at Irupalai, north of Jaffna town. According to the military, the troops were returning to their base on a tractor after a routine foot patrol. A government statement accused the LTTE of being "engaged in a stealth war against Sri Lankan security forces using the cover of the ceasefire agreement".
The LTTE denied any involvement in the attacks. Spokesman Daya Master declared yesterday: "We are not going to break the ceasefire agreement" Whether or not the LTTE was directly responsible, the killings have heightened the danger of a return to war.

This past weekend, my oldest daughter and I kicked off the summer season, by crafting this super fun DIY Shape Projecting Lantern. When placed in the dark, the glow of the battery operated lights casts the moon and star shapes all over the surrounding surfaces, ceiling and walls. This DIY lantern craft was so simple to make, and all of the kids are absolutely LOVING the finished product. My toddlers are completely mesmerized. This was a total craft WIN!
Hi friends, how have you been? SUMMER. It's finally here. I can't even tell you how excited I am! I feel like a kid again. For real. So, as I told you all a few months back, we've ditched the electronics (almost entirely!) with the older kids. They have very limited access to the Internet for school, and not much else. Can I just tell you, the difference, is nothing short of amazing. Amazing, folks. They're reading again; for fun! They're going to the library to learn (real solid facts and all of the supporting information. Bye-bye Wikipedia!) They're creating and crafting. They're actually talking; they're not absorbed in screen time or social media. It's glorious. I'm never turning back. This is the way that childhood was intended to be. There's plenty of time for screens when they're all grown up. For now, they just need some uninterrupted time to be kids.
The agenda this summer is pretty simple. Sunshine, aquarium and zoo visits, museum visits, a camping trip close to home, hiking, pool time, water park visits, backyard fun, crafting and creating, reading and picnics. Lot's of picnics. Simple, good old fashioned, fun. Friends, despite our lack of grandiose plans, I have a feeling that this summer is gonna' be one for the books. Bring on the fun!
Ready to kick off the summer fun with your family? Read on for the full supply list and our simple tutorial, to make your own DIY Shape Projecting Lantern craft with the kids this summer.
Next, I made a quick stop at the craft store, and we were set.
Using aluminum foil and scissors, cut a large circle of foil (large enough to cover the bottom of your jar.
Turn your jar over (bottom side up). Using a paint brush and white school glue, cover the underside surface of your foil (the dull side) with glue.
Next, press the foil to the bottom of the jar.
Now, place the jar bottom side down. Set to the side.
Cut several long strips of aluminum foil (about 2"H x 12"L.) We used 10 strips to cover the pictured jar.
Using a paint brush and white school glue, cover the underside surface (the dull side) of your star punched foil strips. Press / affix your foil to your jar (working your way from the bottom up.
Repeat step 7 to affix each of the star punched foil strips to your jar, until the entire surface is covered (up to the mouth of the jar.) Set your completed foil covered jar to the side. Allow adequate time for the glue to dry.
Next, using a ball point pen, trace the inside circle of your jar ring lid (the removable sealing metal center). Cut your foil to size. Use your star punch to punch 2-3 star shapes. Use the tips of your scissors to gently cut 1-2 crescent moon shapes.
Using a paint brush and white school glue, affix your foil center to the lid ring for your jar (refer to images below) so that the light can shine through the top of the lid and project the shapes onto the ceiling / walls. Note: this punched foil piece will replace the sealing metal center.
Set the lid to the side. Allow adequate time for drying.
Place your Energizer® Ultimate Lithium™ batteries into the battery pack for your battery operated light strand. Place the battery pack / battery operated light strand inside your completed DIY Shape Projecting Lantern, secure the ring top / lid in place.
Wait for night fall, and enjoy the beautiful light/shape projections of moons and stars dancing on all of the surfaces, walls and ceiling! So pretty!
online, or by downloading the Walgreens App. Earn points every time you shop, and turn your points into dollars off your future purchases at Walgreens. It's that simple.
Power your summer fun with Energizer® Ultimate Lithium™ batteries from Walgreens. Friends, get out there and make some spectacular memories with your kids this season. Let's all make this summer, one for the books!
What will YOU make and power with Energizer® Ultimate Lithium™ batteries this summer? I'd love it if you'd share in a comment below!
Happy crafting and happy summer!
I'm looking forward to trying this with my twin daughters. Thank you for posting such a awesome craft.

Martin W. Kellogg (July 2, 1905 – December 26, 1989) was an American portrait painter.

Biography
He was born in Hartford, Connecticut at his family home, which had been passed down through many generations. In his final years, he lived in Nashville. As a young man he had lived in the Boston area where he attended the Boston Art School, and was in the Class of 1929 at Amherst College. He painted a portrait of Stephanie Zimbalist (the sister of Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.) when she was a young woman, but would not sell it to her parents as he didn't want the picture "out there". He was also in the habit of making his subjects cover any "imperfections" they might have with their clothing, because he adamantly refused to simply paint them out.

Some of his best-known portraits include:
John Hill, who was president of Aetna insurance in Hartford in the 1960s
Frank L Boyden, headmaster of Deerfield Academy (MA) (1902–1968)
Wallace W. Robbins, Minister of the First Unitarian Church in Worcester, MA from 1956 to 1975
G. Keith Funston, President of Trinity College
Benjamin L. Holland, President of the Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance Company.

He also painted several Governors of Tennessee, including Winfield Dunn, Frank G. Clement and James Nance McCord, which may be seen at the Tennessee State Museum.

In addition to painting, he had a passion for English setters, which he bred, raised, trained and showed in championship field trial competitions.

I liked the self portraits, it looked like a fun project.
I couldn't work out though, the set up that they showed in the street had a join between the white background and the white base which would have shown in the photos, yet all the photos appear to have had a roll of white as a backdrop with no visible join?
neonwilderness, weltweit, Pickman's model and 5 others like this.
I was one of six photographers working on this project, so this is about 20% of the photos taken. There are only three black faces in my set (two young men and a baby), but I do remember seeing more in some of the other work. I don't remember thinking it was particularly disproportionate for the area at that time.
Thanks for sharing these, they are wonderful.

Rosalía Gives Flamenco Style a Reggaeton Makeover in Her New Video
By Rachel Hahn
Photo: Courtesy of SME / Columbia Records
When you think of flamenco style, chances are you imagine something that approximates the dancing woman emoji: a pixelated reference to the traditional Andalusian dress comprised of cascading ruffles in a bold cherry red that highly skilled flamenco dancers have worn for almost two centuries. Over the past few years, though, young Spanish crossover artist Rosalía has brought flamenco firmly into the future with her fresh, R&B-infused take on the genre. She's overlaid her almost operatic vocals, a result of a decade's worth of training in the art of flamenco, over Justified-era Justin Timberlake melodies and Arthur Russell samples. She's also put her own spin on the art form's style signatures, too. Her music video for "Malamente," which was likely the first song you heard by the artist, transformed that iconic red gown into a red velour tracksuit.
Now, though, the artist brings her attention to another deeply rooted Spanish language genre: reggaeton. Her new video "Con Altura," a collaboration with Spanish producer El Guicho and Colombian singer J Balvin, is an homage to the classic reggaeton that the 25-year-old star listened to when she was younger. And while she's stretching her sonic touchstones a bit, her style remains as red hot as ever: in the course of the visual, which turns a flight into a full-out party on a plane, Rosalía wears everything from bejeweled chunky sandals to a flame-shaped corset. Take a closer look at her high altitude, high impact looks below.

Whether it is putting on make-up in the cab on your way to work or figuring an appropriate outfit for a client meeting when you've been procrastinating doing laundry for two weeks, the struggle is real. Us millennials have never had it easy, after all we've been spoilt for choice and find it hard to maintain a reasonably sane persona on social media. Here are a few memes that are a true reflection of our daily life and the difficult sartorial choices it compells us to make *le sigh*.

Utilization of mulberry leaves treated with seed powder of cowpea, Vigna unguiculata (L) for feeding the fifth instar larvae of silkworm, Bombyx mori (L) (Race: PM x CSR2)
Vitthalrao B khyade
The present attempt was to screen the changes in the cocoon parameters; silk filament parameters and activities of biochemical reactions catalyzed by the midgut enzymes fifth instar larvae of silkworm fed with mulberry leaves treated with aqueous solution of seed powder of Cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata). The cowpea seed powder was dissolved in distilled water and diluted to 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10% concentrations. Fresh mulberry leaves were dipped in each concentration of aqueous solution of cowpea seed powder for half an hour. 1000 ml solution was used for 100 grams of mulberry leaves. Treated mulberry leaves were drained off completely and then used for feeding. The mulberry leaves were fed five times per day at the rate of 100 grams per 100 larvae for each time. Untreated group of larvae were feed with untreated mulberry leaves. Water treated group of larvae were feed with water treated mulberry leaves. The experimental groups of larvae were feed with feed separately with 2.5 percent cowpea treated; 5.00 percent cowpea treated; 7.5 percent cowpea treated and 10.00 percent cowpea treated mulberry leaves. Treating the mulberry leaves with various concentrations of aqueous solutions of cowpea seed powder and feeding to the fifth instar larvae of multivoltine cross breed race of silkworm, Bombyx mori (L) was found reflected into significant improvement in the weight of cocoon (31.862 Percentages); cocoon shell weight (52.336 percentages); pupal weight (26.336 percentages) and shell ratio. There was significant improvement in the silk filament length (00.323 percentages); silk filament weight (21.317 percentages) and denier scale of silk filament. Midgut enzymes (Protease, Amylase, Trehalase, Sucrase and Urease) were found influenced through treating mulberry leaves with cowpea seed powder and feeding to the fifth instar larvae of multivoltine cross breed race of silkworm, Bombyx mori (L) (Race: PM x CSR2). The contents of cowpea seeds may be associated with improvement in the growth and development through increased pattern of protein turn over and overall metabolism.

A digital textbook is a digital book or e-book intended to serve as the text for a class. Digital textbooks may also be known as e-textbooks or e-texts. Digital textbooks are a major component of technology-based education reform. They may serve as the texts for a traditional face-to-face class, an online course or degree, or massive open online courses (MOOCs). As with physical textbooks, digital textbooks can be either rented for a term or purchased for lifetime access. While accessible, digital textbooks can be downloaded, printed, or accessed online via a compatible device. To access content online, users must often use a 3rd party hosting provider or "digital bookshelf" through which digital textbooks can be served.

Implementation
There are many potential advantages to digital textbooks. They may offer lower costs, make it easier to monitor student progress, and are easier and cheaper to update when needed. Open source e-textbooks may offer the opportunity to create free, modifiable textbooks for basic subjects, or give individual teachers the opportunity to create e-texts for their own classrooms. They may offer better access to quality texts in the developing world. For this reason, many schools and colleges around the world have made the implementation of digital textbooks a central component of education policy. For example, in South Korea, reading materials in all public schools will be digitized by 2015. In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission aims for every student to be able to access e-texts by 2017.

However, the transition to e-textbooks is costly, complex and controversial. Students express a strong preference for printed materials in many surveys and across cultures. Many interconnected factors, from device access, to digital literacy, to teaching methods affect the implementation of digital textbooks in the classroom. Issues of overall value, book quality, privacy, and intellectual property have yet to be resolved. An early 2009 study by Cleantech Group LLC also found that the emissions used to create an eBook were equivalent to 22.5 physical books, representing a significant improvement in environmental sustainability. As of 2021, the largest supplier of digital textbooks is VitalSource, with over 1 million titles in its catalog.

Devices
Because digital textbooks must be accessed through an electronic device, such as a laptop or e-reader, schools and colleges must determine how to provide access to all students. Many school districts are now offering "one-to-one" technology programs, in which a tablet or laptop is issued to each student. This ensures that all of the devices meet the same requirements (such as memory or software) and that all the devices can be networked, monitored and upgraded together. However, the one-to-one model also imposes significant costs on school districts, and brings up issues of privacy and personal use.

An alternative to one-to-one is to ask students to use their own electronic devices in class. This is called Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) or, sometimes, Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT). BYOD allows students to choose their preferred device for studying. Compared to one-to-one, it decreases the technology and maintenance costs for institutions. But not all students' devices may be compatible with the digital textbooks required for a class, and the devices may not be able to network with each other. A BYOD approach may also count out students who cannot afford a computer, e-reader or smartphone.

Interactivity
A major selling point of digital textbooks is that they offer the opportunity for students to access multimedia content, such as embedded videos, interactive presentations and hyperlinks. Tests and other assessments can be included in the textbook, classmates can work together, and student progress can be tracked. Touchscreen technology offers students the chance to participate in projects, research or experiments. This may offer a different or better learning experience than printed textbooks. Digitization also promises to offer improved access to textbooks for students with disabilities.  For example, high-contrast displays, or text-to-speech programs can help visually impaired students use the same textbooks their classmates use. The creation of interactive and customizable content is an important part of digital textbook development. Interactive digital content is costly to produce, however, and research on learning outcomes is still in the preliminary stages.

Open vs. closed
The concepts of open access and open source support the idea of open textbooks, digital textbooks that are free (gratis) and easy to distribute, modify and update (libre). Schools, teachers or professors may design their own open textbooks by gathering open access scholarly articles or other open access resources into one text or one curriculum. Open textbooks offer affordable access, especially to basic and common information, and pose a challenge to traditional models of textbook publishing. Modifiable or community edited textbooks may also be difficult to establish as credible or scholarly sources.

Other models for digital textbook publishing are more traditional. Textbook publishers may offer digital textbooks or digital curriculums that are standardized across classrooms, easier to update, and compliant with national standards, teaching methods or goals. This approach also offers pitfalls. License or renewal fees for digital textbooks may impose unexpected costs for institutions. For example, in 2013, the LA Unified School District announced that it would face an additional $60 million to license the curriculum for its one-to-one iPad program.

Outcomes
Though many governments and school districts are making large investments in digital textbooks, adoption is slow. According to data from Bowker Market Research, in the spring semester of 2013, only 3% of college students used a digital textbook as their primary course material. In multiple studies, strong majorities of college students, teens, and children continue to express a preference for printed books.  Furthermore, there is conflicting information about how digital textbooks affect learning, cognition and retention. However, students are growing more exposed to digital textbooks, and early research suggests that student performance is about the same whether students work from digital or printed texts.

Western () was one of the multi-member constituencies of the Althing, the national legislature of Iceland. The constituency was established in 1959 following the nationwide extension of proportional representation for elections to the Althing. It was abolished in 2003 when the constituency was merged into the Northwestern constituency following the re-organisation of constituencies across Iceland. Western was conterminous with the Western region.

Culinary Dreams Can Come True for Women - With Your Help!
Thanks to generous donations from people like you, Les Dames d'Escoffier Atlanta awarded more than $75,000 in scholarships to local women in support of their culinary education and awarded more than $30,000 to fund numerous sustainable food and hunger initiatives in our community this year.
We were able to help young women like Eboni Hughes, pictured above, a recent high school graduate from Salem High School in Conyers, GA. As a senior in high school Eboni maintained a 3.5 GPA while holding down 2 jobs and below are excerpts from her winning essay.
"Your career is what you get paid for, your calling is what you're made for. Ever since I was a little girl I can remember sitting in the kitchen with my mother on the holidays while she made her specialty, lasagna. While other children were watching Cartoon Network and Disney Channel, I was watching Emeril Lagasse and Bobby Fly on Food Network. Food has always been a big part of my life and my culture... As I got older, I became drowned and overwhelmed by the taste of food and I became overweight. By my sophomore year I was almost 200 pounds and food consumed my life. I then pushed myself to make a change for my health and I lost 20 pounds and felt the best I had my entire life. I took control of my life and food no longer took control of me... After I overcame being overweight, I gained my confidence back and my hope. I figured out my goal and the plan for my life, I wanted to cook healthy food that tasted good and appealed to children. My goal is to save the youth of America from obesity and show them that food is not our enemy but our savior... I am one child of three of a single mother and I watched her struggle and work hard to get food on the table and clothes on our back. We never went a day without a meal on the table but I know that she wondered where the next one would come from. I see how hard she worked and it motivated me to be the best I can be. Financial aid will help me pursue my dreams and take the burden and stress off my mother... Investing in me is worth it and I will not let you down."
Won't you help us to help more people like Eboni? Please consider making a donation today to LDEI Atlanta's Circle of Giving. Donations are deductible to the fullest extent of the law and can be made today by clicking here.
Any amount is welcome and bigger donations can be paid on a monthly basis. Gifts can also be given In Honor of or In Memory of someone special. Donations at the Gourmand level or above will be recognized on the LDEI Atlanta website.
Please add Les Dames d'Escoffier Atlanta to your end of the year giving to help make the culinary dreams of other women, like Eboni, come true.
Below is a recap from Crystal Leach, LDEI grant recipient, of her experience at the Annual Conference of the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP).
I have to admit, I had pretty high expectations heading into my first IACP conference – I'd heard from many of my coworkers and mentors that this was going to be "such a great experience". Each time I mentioned that I was attending this years' conference, I was assured that I would "love it – you'll learn so much and make so many contacts". As the conference approached, I was beginning to worry- could any meeting really live up to all of that hype? Well, I'm happy to report that it did –as I reflect on all I experienced and learned that jam-packed weekend in DC, I must admit my colleagues were right – it was a truly incredible experience.
One of the things that most impressed me about the conference sessions was the applicability of the topics and content. My notes are filled with helpful insights and pragmatic tips that I can put into practice immediately. A few of my favorites include Scott Peacock's advice on capturing food histories ("Let them fill the space – don't talk, even if it is uncomfortable…"), Monica Bhide's detailed checklist for self-publishing a cookbook, and tips for taking professional-looking food photographs with my iPhone.
As someone relatively new to the culinary world, still working on charting my course, I find it easy to get consumed with the practical aspects of building my career. Given that tendency, perhaps what I appreciated most about this conference was that it provided insight and learning on multiple levels – from very practical tips and tools for everyday use to larger, more thought-provoking topics. This was a weekend that spoke to both my head and my heart.
One of the most stimulating experiences of the conference was Friday's Optional Tour of the Union Kitchen Food Incubator. We spent the morning touring the facility, meeting with the development team who conceived of and built the incubator and interacting directly with the food entreprenuers who are using this unique facility. This was an in-depth, up-close and personal look at what it takes to start a new food business and how to build a community that supports this type of grass-roots economic growth. The sign that greets you as you walk in the lobby represents the spirit and ethic of this unique community…Create. Contribute. Prosper.
In Saturday's session on "Leveraging Your Voice and Brand for Social Good" I was reminded that "it's possible to make both meaning and money". The discussion by Food Network and Share Our Strength staff members provided insight, encouragement and contacts I can apply to my current efforts at the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia. And, finally, on a personal level, it was a truly uplifting experience to witness Jacques Pepin Skype into the conference to celebrate his 80th birthday with the crowd, only 2 days after having a minor stroke.
I am grateful for the LDEI grant funding that supported my attendance at the 2015 IACP Conference. As predicted – I did love it, I learned a great deal and I made many valuable contacts. I'm confident I will be able to leverage all of these experiences in the coming months and years.

Diesel came to AAE from the USFS in New Mexico after participation in a wild horse gentling program at the Monty Roberts International Learning Center. Diesel is a cute and curious guy. He halters and leads with a very slow, gentle approach. He tries hard, but he continues to have trust and confidence issues with humans, but it seems we are finally turning the corner.
Diesel was part of a group gathered off the Jarita Mesa Wild Horse Territory in the El Rito Ranger District of the Carson National Forest. After branding day in El Rito NM on June 30, 2016, the gathered horses were available for adoption in El Rito for 21 days, (7/1/2016 to 7/21/2016). They were then moved to Bloomfield, NM and were available for adoption there for 28 days, (7/22/2016 to 8/18/2016), where several were adopted. A small group (5) was transported to Flag is Up Farms in Solvang CA, where they went through a wild horse gentling program with students participating at the Monty Roberts International Learning Center. They were available for adoption for 75 days, (8/19/2016 to 11/1/2016) and two more were adopted. After November 1, 2016, the USFS decided a good faith effort had been made (three strikes), and the horses were offered for sale ($25) without limitation. Diesel and his two buddies, Scout and Diego, came to AAE in November 2016 in lieu of posting to Craigslist for $25 as requested by the USFS.
Diesel returned to Monty Roberts International Learning Center in 2017 for participation in another student program. Sadly, shortly after arrival, Diesel was lame in the hind end; however, the issue could not be pinpointed. Upon return to AAE, Diesel was put on stall rest prior and subsequently diagnosed with Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM). He was treated; however, he still displays residual neurologic deficits, and he should only be adopted into a companion home only and not be ridden.
Diesel will need a patient and committed partner to further his trust and confidence. He is current with vaccines, deworming, and hoof and dental care. He has a microchip in place.


Agni Tripathi was born in Calcutta, to parents who work for the state Government. Agni's early years were full of frequent relocations, as a consequence of which he ended up going to thirteen different schools. His travels presented him with an opportunity to experience India in its truly diverse form. His interactions with colorful people from the different walks of life encouraged him to begin writing from a very young age. The Line Reader, a collection of short stories, is the first book of this promising young author.
A youngster decides to play a prank on his friends, pretending to be able to read the lines on their palms. But, what he sees on his own palm shocks him. Do the lines truly foretell what is in store for one?


Thank you for sharing your personal stories. They are a source of encouragement and hope. In good times and bad, it is good to know we have a redeemer, provider, enabler, comforter and an amazing God whom we can call Father! 🙂 May you continue to be blessed!
I haven't read your blog in so long and didn't realize the burden you were carrying! We are praying now for your father and for you as well. It is difficult to watch our parents age. So glad you were able to be with him during these challenging times.
Good to know you are back Jescel and your father is better.Always praying for you guys.Silvia M.

9 Indian Film Personalities Who Made It to the Guinness World Records
December 22, 2017 Prabuddha 0 Comments Bollywood Actor, Bollywood Actress
The Indian film industry is the largest in the world. It has been entertaining audiences since over 100 years. No wonder, given the sheer volume of work involved in filmmaking, many Indian film personalities have found a place in the Guinness World Records. While some have made it for the salary they command, others have been honoured for their creative contribution.
Here are nine such men and women from the Indian film fraternity who have been officially recognised by the Guinness World Records committee for their achievements.
1. Sameer
One of the most popular songwriters for Hindi films, Sameer has written an incredible 3,524 songs in his career. He was officially recognised by the Guinness authorities as the most prolific songwriter in Bollywood. Sameer is often distinguished for using a vocabulary which singers and listeners can easily understand. The words of his songs are common and from everyday use. Sameer wrote all the songs for some of the biggest Bollywood blockbusters, like Aashiqui (1990), Deewana (1992), and Kuch Kuch Hota Hain (1999).
2. Kumar Sanu
Image: BeAnInspirer
He became a household name in the nineties after the release of Aashiqui in 1990. Some of his most popular songs were composed by the music director duo Nadeem-Shravan. Kumar Sanu entered the Guinness World Records in 1993 after he recorded 28 songs on a single day. He sang for the legendary RD Burman in 1942: A Love Story (1994). A year later, he sang 'Tujhe Dekha To Ye Jana Sanam' with Lata Mangeshkar for Jatin-Lalit in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. More than two decades later, the song is still as popular as it was back then.

3. P Jairaj

Remember Zeenat Aman's martial arts teacher in Don? That was actor P Jairaj whom the Guinness committee has recognised to have had the longest acting career in Bollywood. The actor made his film debut in the silent era with Star King Youth (1929) and played the lead role for more than two decades. He shifted to character roles in the later part of his career. P Jairaj was honoured with Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1980 for his contribution to Indian cinema. He also directed three films Pratima (1945), Saagar (1951), and Mohar (1959).
