Considering homeschooling? Some things to think about first.
Our blog cruise topic for this week is what advice we would give to someone thinking about homeschooling or just starting out. Hmmmm, as a fairly new homeschooler myself, this requires some consideration. I first heard about homeschooling when my oldest son was about 4 years old, and as a certified teacher myself I thought, "that sounds crazy!" It's funny how the Lord can make you reconsider your thoughts! The desire to homeschool was planted in my heart about three years ago, after I became friends with a few people who did it. Spending time with them, and seeing how much time they got to just enjoy their children, sparked a desire in me to do the same.
The first thing I did when I started thinking about this is pray! I have learned throughout my life that following the Lord's leading is the most important thing, and it's what I desire to do most. After that, I broached the idea with my husband. His first answer was "we could never afford for you to stop working." This was a disappointment, but as he manages the money and leads our home, I deferred to him and continued to pray. I knew that if this was what God intended, He would make a way. In the meantime, I spent as much time as possible gathering information about homeschool. The internet is wonderful for this. Look up your state homeschool association first. There you can get info about rules and requirements, as well as local support groups and other homeschool related topics that are pertinent to you.
After that, I started looking up my county regulations as well. These were also readily available on my local school board website. It is important to know the guidelines for homeschooling in your area first, to make sure you would be able to meet them if you started homeschooling. These guidelines can vary from state to state and district to district, so make sure you find out what the guidelines are for your specific area. From there, I started spending time with my homeschooling friends, just asking question after question! They were VERY patient and helped me get a better idea of what homeschooling day to day involved. If you don't know any homeschoolers personally, you may want to look for a homeschool support group in your area and contact them. They are usually very helpful and willing to answer questions as well.
Probably the most time consuming portion of my research was looking for curriculum! Just google "homeschooling curriculum" and you will pull up a bevy of websites ranging from message boards that talk about curriculum, to curriculum product and review sites. I spent hours scouring these boards and sites. I have links to a few of these sites on my sidebar. Check out Homeschool Reviews, the Well Trained Mind, and of course, the TOS website too! I ordered catalogs, compared costs, asked for samples and did everything else I could to get a feel for what was out there and what I would want to work with. Finally, about a year ago, I attended our state homeschool conference with a friend of mine. Even thought I wasn't homeschooling yet, I went to get information. I was able to attend workshops that explained homeschooling more in detail, and get a hands on look at curriculum (which was my favorite part 🙂 ).
Through all of this, I continued to pray and I asked my friends to pray with me. I kept asking the Lord to show me if homeschooling was what He wanted me to do. Two years later, He opened a door, and my husband told me "I want this to happen. Let's do this". It took a while for this dream of mine to come to fruition, but because of the legwork I had put in, I was ready to go when the opportunity arose. We do miss my paycheck, but I wouldn't go back for anything! I would say, if homeschooling is a dream of yours, do all you can to prepare yourself by gathering information, discuss it with your spouse, and above all, pray and wait on God.
As a member of the TOS crew for this year, I was given a free downloadable copy of the 2010 schoolhouse planner! I am participating in a contest to see who can write the best ad to promote the planner (first prize is $100 and there are also Starbucks gift cards up for grabs 🙂 ) , so here goes!
To be honest, I had looked at the planner at the TOS website long before I became a crew member, and it was on my list of "things I'd like to get" but, as you all know, that list can get pretty long, and the budget stretches only so far! 🙂 I decided to skip purchasing a planner at all this year, and just print stuff off of free sites on the internet to use for my planning. I spent HOURS scouring the web, looking for printable pages that would allow me to plan quarterly goals for my kids, make quarterly plans for each subject, find a daily planner that I could use for both my kids, record grades, attendance etc. etc. etc. Seriously, I probably spent about a weeks worth of hours doing this, and of course, I bookmarked all my pages so I could find them again, but didn't organize my favorites clearly enough and ended up spending large amounts of time trying to "locate" the sites on my list! Then, I got the link to this planner, and I realized the convenience of having it all done for me, in one place, ready to go!
So, what does this planner include? Literally everything I could think of (which is a lot 🙂 ) and more! There are monthly articles on a wide-range of homeschooling topics, from involving fathers to teaching manners. It has recipes and lists of educational information (Latin roots, multiplication table, countries and capitals, the Parables of Jesus etc. etc.) . It also includes yearly calendars from 2010-2013, that are also broken down into months with boxes big enough to write on. There are recipes, forms to use for homeschooling, forms to use for household planning, and even printables to use with your kids.
The household planning sheets were something I really hadn't thought about. I am one of those people who likes to write out a weekly menu, but usually it's just scribbled down on whatever scrap of paper is nearby, and then quickly gets lost! In the TOS planner, I found household planning sheets I can actually USE! My favorite is probably the "Week at a glance" page that lists each day of the week and then includes the following categories: Homeschooling, Homekeeping, Menu, and Misc. It's short and sweet and will allow me to make notes about doctor's appointments, big projects in our homeschooling, things I need to do at home, and any big menu items I need to remember. There are also weekly and monthly menu planners, budget pages, emergency info pages, chore charts and lots, lots more.
Another great part of the planner is the printable pages that you can use with your kids. I mentioned chore charts earlier, but there are also journal pages, preschool planning pages, handwriting pages, memory work pages, and bible study pages as well. There is a page that kids can use to keep track of assignments and their due dates that I plan to introduce to my children this year. I want to start giving them monthly projects to work on independently, and I want them to have a way to keep track of things. I think developing independent planning skills will benefit my children in the future, in both college and the work force, and this page is very clear and concise, and something I think my kids will actually fill out 🙂 Forms for reading logs, extracurricular activities and audio/visual forms are included too.
It would take pages and pages of this blog to tell you all that the 2010 homeschool planner includes. Some other things I haven't mentioned so far are, unit study planning pages, unschooling record sheets, address books, transcripts, report cards, and the list goes on and on. The cost of the planner is $39.00, and you can check it out here: http://thehomeschoolmagazine.com/TOSEBookSellSheets/Modules/10Planner/10Planner.htm .
When I first looked at this, I thought it was more of an "extra" than a necessity. I mean, let's face it, in these times, frugality is important. Every penny counts, and you really have to sort through your long (in my case very long 😉 ) list of wants to determine what you really need. However, I have come to realize that being frugal with your time can be just as important as being frugal with your money. We all have so much to juggle. We are moms, wives, teachers, homemakers, friends, church members, community members, and some of us have jobs on top of all that! There are still only 24 hours in a day. The sheer amount of hours this planner will save me from searching the internet, makes it worth it. Remember, the calendar pages go through 2013, and the other pages are undated, so realistically, you could use this planner for YEARS into the future. That in itself makes the cost seem very small. I would highly recommend this planner to anyone who wants to have it all at their fingertips ready to go, so they can spend their time doing other things!


Based on the eigenvalues of the ray transformation matrix, a classification of ABCD systems is proposed and some nuclei (i.e., elementary members) in each class are described. In the one-dimensional case, possible nuclei are the magnifier, the lens, and the fractional Fourier transformer. In the two-dimensional case we have-in addition to the obvious concatenations of one-dimensional nuclei-the four combinations of a magnifier or a lens with a rotator or a shearing operator, where the rotator and the shearer are obviously inherently two-dimensional. Any ABCD system belongs to one of the classes described in this paper and is similar (in the sense of matrix similarity of the ray transformation matrices) to the corresponding nucleus. Knowledge of a nucleus may be helpful in finding eigenfunctions of the corresponding class of first-order optical systems: one only has to find eigenfunctions of the nucleus and to determine how these functions propagate through a firstorder optical system.

2. Gratitude: Start a gratitude journal and watch tragedy turn into triumph!
3. Inspiration: Uplift your spirit with music, books, people or messages (Check out Kriss Carr's inspiring wisdom in The Power of Unconditional Acceptance). These Health & The Law of Attraction Cards are awesome daily reminders!
7. Exercise: Walk, jog, tennis, dance. Find "your thing" and make it a daily habit!
8. Nature: Read how Eco-therapy heals.
9. Sleep: According to Harvard Women's Health Watch, sleep deprivation alters immune function, including the activity of the body's killer cells. Keeping up with sleep may also help fight cancer.
10. Pamper: Take time-out and gift yourself with a massage, facial, pedicure or day at the beach!
True healing begins when we detoxify our minds of fear, worry, guilt, stress, blame, shame, grief, anger, etc. Power vs. Force by David R. Hawkins is a fascinating book on how attitudes, thoughts and behaviors are constructive or destructive and how anyone may resolve the most crucial of all human dilemmas through the science of kinesiology and "muscle testing." (Muscle testing is a simple procedure for testing strong/weak responses, such as that of an outstretched arm, in response to questioning).
Bruce Lipton, author, speaker and cellular biologist, discusses why our perceptions and our internal environment play a more critical role than genes in healing.

Q: Protocol associated types and generics My code looks like this:
protocol Remotable {
    init?(dict: Dictionary<String, String>)
}

protocol SearchResultable {
    associatedtype TRS: Remotable
    static func myFunction(remote: TRS)
}

struct MySearchResult<T:SearchResultable, TR: Remotable> {
    typealias TRS = TR
    let items: Array<T>
    let limit: Int

    func testMethod() {
        let dict = [["id": "asd123"],["id":"asd456"]]
        let a = dict.flatMap(TRS.init)
        let b = a[0] //has type TR
        let c = T.myFunction(... //expects an argument of type T.TRS
    }
}

And I cannot get to call myFunction because it expects a T.TRS type of argument. I was expecting that I can call myFunction with the b parameter that is of type TR. Do you have any idea of what am I doing wrong?

A: I also found an answer to my own question. I don't know which one is better, I would be grateful if someone would explain which is better and why.
struct MySearchResult<T:SearchResultable, TR where T.TRS == TR > {
    let items: Array<T>
    let limit: Int

    func testMethod() {
        let dict = [["id": "asd123"],["id":"asd456"]]
        let a = dict.flatMap(TR.init)
        let b = a[0]
        let c = T.myFunction(b)
    }
}

So I just had to tell the compiler that T.TRS is the same as TR.

A: Try to force unwrap a[0] as the function expects an argument of type T.TRS, you are sure that a[0] will conform to protocol Remotable.
let c = a[0] as! T.TRS
T.myFunction(c)

Tech: Global games market to rebound in 2020 after multi-year slow growth
Chester Tay
January 22, 2020 15:00 pm +08
This article first appeared in The Edge Malaysia Weekly, on January 13, 2020 - January 19, 2020.
GROWTH in the global games market is expected to rebound in 2020 after expanding at a slower pace for the second consecutive year in 2019, according to intelligence firm Newzoo.
Newzoo's senior market analyst Tom Wijman said the global games market revenue, which grew 7.3% in 2019 to US$148.8 billion (RM608.6 billion), was expected to expand by 7.9% to US$160.5 billion in 2020.
"The global number of about US$150 billion is still very impressive, that is, bigger than movies and TV. Gaming is truly one of the leading entertainment industries right now," he told a media briefing last November at ON.DXB, a three-day film, game, video and music festival in Dubai, UAE.
The slowdown followed China's nine-month licensing freeze on new games until end-2018, as well as measures to reduce screen time among children thereafter.
Wijman said at the briefing that he was optimistic about the future growth of the gaming industry, especially with the expansion in mobile devices gaming revenue. "This year [2019], we are looking at 46% of the global game market [being] generated by mobile gaming. It is by far the largest segment of the industry and also the fastest growing."
Wijman said mobile gaming grew almost 10% year on year in 2019 and would continue to do so in the coming years.
"What is very interesting is, mobile gaming has been growing without cannibalising any of the market in the PC and console segments.
"When Apple launched its first iPhone in 2007, it did not even support gaming. In fact, Apple had no interest in the gaming industry at all until earlier this year [2019], when they launched Apple Arcade.
"Despite Apple's lack of interest, mobile gaming grew swiftly. In 2012, it was just 18% of the industry. By 2022, some three years from now, it will be almost 50%."
Wijman explained that the significant growth in mobile gaming revenue is attributable not only to new smartphone launches, but also to the evolution of games, which now use more sophisticated technologies.
"We are in a very healthy industry. People now launch smartphones that are fully dedicated to gaming, but that is not the only transition for the industry.
"Games are at the forefront of entertainment. Game enthusiasts are among the most dedicated fan bases in the world. In the past two decades, game companies have turned this fandom into a competitive advantage by evolving into all-round entertainment companies.
"Pokémon, Mario and Tomb Raider all started as video games, and are now among the most recognisable and highest-grossing entertainment franchises in the world," he added.
Wijman said driven by the standard set in mobile gaming, gamers have come to expect continuous updates and content additions to their favourite games.
"Not only does this greatly expand the lifetime of games, it also allows publishers and developers to monetise players long after the initial sale. Games-as-a-Service (GAAS) is now the industry standard on PC, mobile and console. As a side effect, players play a smaller variety of games, thus increasing the value of franchises and IP [intellectual property]," he said.
Wijman added that the latest industry trend will see consumers getting involved in the game development experience.
"It is not just companies that are creating content; with the rise of YouTube and Twitch in streaming content creation, consumers have turned into content providers for the industry itself.
"When we talk about gamers and players, we no longer just talk about people who are in the activity of gaming because people engage in game content in a very different way now. Previously, people used to just play; now they watch, own and do any combination of that," he explained.
From a regional perspective, Wijman said Asia-Pacific remains important for the industry, as 48%, or US$71.5 billion, of all consumer spending on games in 2019 was expected to be from this region.
"Nearly half of global revenue was generated by players in this region, and it also hosts some of the largest gaming companies — Tencent, Sony, Nintendo. The gamers in this market are some of the most enthusiastic and professional as well," he said.
In terms of spending by individual countries, Wijman noted that China and the US are the largest markets. Consumers in China were expected to spend US$36.5 billion in 2019, while those in the US were estimated to spend US$35.5 billion.

On March 7 CESI's members' Commissions on Employment and Social Affairs and on Women's Rights and Gender Equality convened for their first meeting of the year in Brussels. At the centre of the meeting were debates around the European Commission's current consultation on equal pay for equal work and on how to boost CESI's involvement and engagement in the European Semester process.
Chaired by Javier Jordán of CESI's Spanish member CSIF and Kirsten Lühmann, affiliate of CESI's German member dbb, the meeting brought together representatives from CESI's various member organisations in charge of horizontal policies as well as presidents and vice-presidents of CESI's sectoral members' trade councils.
How to optimise engagement in the European Semester?
Jeroen Jutte, longstanding Head of Unit for employment and social aspects of European Semester in the European Commission, attended the meeting as a guest speaker. In a joint debate, CESI members established how CESI can optimise its input in the annual European Semester process.
Closing the gender pay gap via EU measures?
Vitalijus Novikovas from the European Commission's gender equality union updated CESI's members about a consultation on the implementation of article 4 of the EU Directive 2006/54 which requires all Member States to eliminate pay discrimination between workers and employees when the work is equal or of equal value ('equal pay for equal work').
Following a joint debate on the topic, a formal consultation contribution and further engagement by CESI with the European Commission is forthcoming.


U.S. stocks that provide some shelter from the impact of the U.K.'s Brexit decision Friday are now in high demand as the market got badly battered for two days — before managing to rebound by Tuesday. And as the post-Brexit vote rally is now on its second consecutive day, investors are making a list of Brexit-defensive stocks to counter any adverse consequences.
One such stock: Home Depot, the world's largest home improvement retailer, whose stock over the past 12 months has climbed some 13% — and since 2011 has steadily advanced, from $37 a share to as high as $137 in 2016.
True, the stock also reeled from the Brexit surprise, which pulled down the S&P 500-stock index by 5.3%, but shares of Home Depot also rallied quickly by Tuesday, rising 2.29%, to $127.53. A component of the the 30-stock Dow Jones industrial average, Home Depot is truly a big domestic large-cap play on homes and the U.S. housing industry, with its international exposure limited to Canada and Mexico.
The fundamentals driving Home Depot's steady, strong progress is very much in place, according to analysts. "Even after raising the operating margin by 400 basis points over the last four years, Home Depot still has room to increase earnings and profitability," says Chris Graja, equity analyst at Argus Research. So he raised his price target on the stock to $150 a share from $145, after the company posted positive first-quarter results that exceeded most analysts' expectations.
The analyst says it's higher price target reflects a potential total return of more than 15% and a dividend yield of 2%, after Home Depot reported first quarter earnings of $1.44 a share, representing 19% growth, and beating Argus' estimate of $1.32. It also exceeded analysts' consensus projection of $1.35 z share. Graja notes that Home Depot's impressive first-quarter results reflected an improving housing market, robust demand from professional contractors, growth big-ticket home-improvement projects, superior expense control, and favorable weather.
Management, as a result, raised its full-year earnings guidance to $6.27 a share from a range of $6.12-$6.18, which is above the consensus projection of $6.22 a share. So Graja raised his earnings estimate for fiscal 2017, ending Jan. 31, to $6.30 a share from $6.15, and his projection for 2018 to $7 a share from $6.90.
Home Depot generated revenues of $88.5 billion in fiscal 2016 from its 2,274 warehouse-type stores, and S&P Global market Intelligence projects that sales in fiscal 2017 will rise 6.3%, reflecting in part expected new-store openings in the U.S. and overseas, and a 4.9% increase in same-store sales.
"We expect the housing market to strengthen, and for Home Depot to reap rewards from its focus on customer service. And favorable demographic trends, such as the aging of houses and low interest rates, should help support home remodeling efforts over the long term," says Efraim Levy, equity analyst at S&P Global market Intelligence. "We have a strong view of HD's balance sheet and free cash flow generation, and look favorably on a three-year $18 billion buy-back authorization and recent 17% dividend increase," adds Levy.
Just before the market's pullback due to the Brexit vote, Home Depot's stock traded at 21 times S&P's 2017 earnings estimate, at a premium to the S&P 500 — and towards the upper prt of its historical average. So Levy has a hold rating on the stock with a 12-month price target of $134 a share, below other analysts' targets. With the aftermath of the Brexit vote, Levy is expected to possibly update his stock price target.
He figures Home Depot will earn $6.28 a share in fiscal 2017, up from fiscal 2016's $5.46. And the analyst sees operation margins in fiscal 2017 widening from 13.3% in fiscal 2016, driven partly by a rational pricing environment and continued tight expense control.

There are many things people in Chula Vista can carry out to keep their home in as good of shape as possible, but mold is one thing that is a little tougher to prevent. Chula Vista, CA residents need to understand that contrary to other forms of bacteria, mold grows very well in places that are very moist. Quite a few make the big mistake of believing that as long as their carpets do not come into contact with any type of water that they are safe from the effects of mold, but sadly this is not the case at all. Many folks think that simply banning drinks from their home will do the trick which also is not the case. Just because there isn't any water spilled does not mean anything as there are plenty of other circumstances that can quite easily lead to mold development as well without you even knowing it. If for any reason you suspect mold in your Chula Vista home then having a mold inspection done by 123 Mold Testing is a must. If you live in Chula Vista, California and need mold testing done, which includes black mold testing, then simply call us at 888-412-0410 to get a mold testing quote today.
Despite what you may have been told, even something as simple as a leaky bathroom tap or a shower head can be enough for mold to start growing as indicated by 123 Mold Testing. Mold can quite easily spawn in these areas because the water will tend to collect and stay in one place that makes it a perfect environment for bacteria and mold. At some point, the wet spot coupled with humidity in the room will create mold, and it will eventually emit a horrendous odor. Compared to a leaking sink or tap, leaking pipes can become an even bigger issue simply because these leaks are virtually undetectable until a major problem arises. To make sure that this doesn't happen to you, a qualified mold inspection is a must. Even if people don't suspect that they have mold development in their home, it would still be a wise idea to have a mold inspection carried out at the very least once per year.
The main reason that black mold testing is recommended is simply because they will already have the right equipment in place to correctly locate any mold that may be present in your home. Trying to do mold testing on your own without this kind of specialized equipment will most likely mean waiting until the issue has grown to become very big before its found. To make things a whole lot worse is the fact that by the time you smell the mold you will already be afflicted by its effects. If you're curious about having mold inspection done then undoubtedly you would wish to know about the mold testing cost as well. For residents of Chula Vista, CA that need a mold inspection done you will be happy to know that most businesses in the area will charge less than $500 depending on precisely what services you will require.
If you are ready to have mold inspection done in your home then the best thing you can do for yourself is to call 123 Mold Testing at 888-412-0410 in order to have your Chula Vista, CA testing done on an annual basis. If you make the choice to have your mold testing done then your mold can be killed before it starts to affect your health. The mold testing services provided by this business are some of the lowest in the area which means that you will not have to spend a lot of cash either.
In Chula Vista, California, black mold presents a critical health risk. To make things a whole lot worse is the truth that without a complete mold inspection it can be very difficult to find. Although everyone in Chula Vista will react differently, one of the most conventional signs of an invasion is an allergic reaction. If your household contains small kids, seniors, infants or anyone with a prior history of breathing issues like asthma then you must know that these individuals will have a lower tolerance for exposure to black mold. And even though not all strands of mold will be black mold, they all are considered to be allergens and can pose a serious health risk to those that come into contact with them. Unfortunately, mold problems can easily be misdiagnosed. While one who lives in Chula Vista, CA might assume that their doctor would be able to detect black mold poisoning, that is not often the case. If your health care doctor in Chula Vista does not know that you have been exposed to it, then finding the root of your problem is almost impossible. People who have been subjected to black mold can experience many about 25 different symptoms. Its very easy to mistake many of the symptoms of black mold exposure for other problems like the common cold or the flu. If you're hoping that the signs or symptoms of black mold will vanish, then you will be shocked to find out that they don't. This is a stark contrast to the cold or flu which goes away after a while. Many people find that these signs or symptoms actually get worse instead. The best move to make for anyone subjected to this type of mold is to let your doctor know immediately and request that blood work be done also. The mold specialist company, 123 Mold Testing can also do black mold testing, and they can be reached by phone at 888-412-0410. We in addition provide service to mold testing Columbus, OH among other areas and states all around the country.
Mold testing is so imperative because, as stated by mold inspection company, 123 Mold Testing, mold can be found in both exterior and inside settings. Through a number of air quality testing studies done in the state, it has been found that to some degree everyone has mold. The only difference is the amount and type of mold that is found. Scientists agree there are nearly 100,000 different molds. One hundred and fifty of these are frequently found throughout the state. Although certain mold spores are toxigenic (poisonous through inhalation), pathogenic (agents of disease) or carcinogenic (cancer causing), all molds can trigger allergic responses. The most conventional symptoms of mold poisoning are: throat irritation, bacterial infections, lung irritation, sore burning eyes, panic attacks, depression, breathing problems, skin irritation, lethargy, memory loss, allergies, nausea and regular headaches as well. Of the many different types of mold, one of the most harmful is Stachybotrys, aka, "black mold." Black mold can be especially dangerous to individuals with breathing problems to mold. For individuals in this situation the effects of exposure can be a whole lot worse. These effects range from nervous system problems, immune issues, skin issues and gastrointestinal issues as well. If these symptoms are left unrestrained, then the situation can turn out to be fatal. If you've got good friends or family members in other regions such as Toledo mold inspection, make them aware that we present solutions all through the United States.
No matter how old a person is everyone is susceptible to severe mold poisoning. Mold can be found in new structures as well as older structures all across the country. If you have never had any mold testing performed then It is completely possible to go years enduring the brutal effects of mold poisoning and never even know it. To make things a whole lot worse is the fact that one person may only experience just one or two symptoms while another person may experience all of them. A lot of people confuse the lack of symptoms for a lack of mold which isn't the case at all. Get in touch with 123 Mold Testing today at 888-412-0410 to inquire about scheduling a mold test and what the mold testing cost is.

These chocolate mocha vegan muffins are insanely chocolatey, no one will ever guess they're oil-free and vegan!
The other day, I found myself craving chocolate & espresso… so it seemed like a good day to make chocolate mocha muffins, a delicious treat that just so happens to be vegan. YUM.
I originally came up with this recipe way back in 2010 when I first gave up dairy and eggs. I was learning how to bake vegan treats and these ended up being on repeat! The coffee helps amplify the chocolate flavor and these almost taste like a brownie bite!
There are plenty of flour options to try with these muffins. My personal favorite is 1/4 cup garbanzo bean flour and 3/4 cup whole wheat flour. It still has a light and fluffy texture but it has a lot more protein and fiber.
If you don't have chickpea flour, you can make these with 100% whole wheat flour or all purpose flour. You can also do a blend of those two if you like. All purpose flour will produce lighter, more tender muffins. But if you want to keep these really healthy, go for whole wheat.
I like using mini chocolate chips in this recipe because it's easier to get a little bit of chocolate into every mini muffin. If you can't find mini chips, feel free to use regular.
I highly recommend baking these as mini muffins rather than larger muffins. It's easier to get them done on the inside while still getting a moist and tender texture. Larger muffins tend to dry out.
Then gently fold in the applesauce, coffee, and vanilla. You want to mix it until you don't see streaks of flour anymore, but be careful not to overmix. Once everything is combined, you simply drop rounded tablespoons of batter into a mini muffin pan.
It should make about 18 mini muffins. These are perfect for snacking! They taste like dessert but they're healthy enough for a quick breakfast on the go!
Spray a mini muffin pan with non-stick spray.
Combine the flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips.
Gently fold in the applesauce, coffee, and vanilla. Mix until just combined and there are no large streaks of dry flour. Be careful not to overmix.
Bake for 10-11 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. (You'll have to dodge chocolate chips to do a toothpick test!) Be sure not to overbake or the muffins will be dry.
Let cool for 2 minutes then remove from the muffin tin and let cool on a wire rack.
Note: Store these muffins in an airtight container. Be sure not to overbake.
Make sure your coffee is cooled before mixing into the batter, or it will melt the chocolate chips!
If you use whole wheat flour and chickpea flour, each of these little treats will have a decent amount of fiber. And let me tell you, vegan or not, these can knock out a chocolate craving like nobody's business!
Freezer tip: You can store these muffins in the freezer to make them last longer! To thaw, simply microwave for 10 seconds and enjoy! It makes the chocolate chips nice and melty.
This recipe was originally posted in December 2010. Updated March 2019.
These look like great little chocolate morsels that only take a few minutes to make. Very cool.
I actually got a free sample of this bar somewhere… where I dont know… and tried it on the weekend, I actually REALLY enjoyed it!
Just ate one of the ones you posted me, delicious!!!!
i made this batter and added a flax egg+vinegar, then turned it into waffles for mothers day. topped with bananas, strawberries, and a chocolate 'pudding'/sauce (banana, cocoa, vanilla, stevia, soy yogurt and almond milk in food processor). The result: an amazing, decadent mothers day breakfast that my mom said (and i quote) were "sooooo goood!!! best breakfast ever!" at least 10 times. and its only 10:30 am.
That's so awesome!!! I'm glad it turned out well 🙂 I've made those muffins for a few brunches and they're always a hit!!! I hope you had a great day with your mom!
I am going to try these soon. Loved the recipe with chickpea flour.. looks so delish!!
Yay! I hope you like them, Swati!
I love finding a a vegan recipe that looks good and actually has all ingredients that I can eat. These look really good and I can actually make them!


Oh Wonder: "It's okay that you feel lonely, because everyone does"
Unexpected pop stars Oh Wonder are back with 'Ultralife', and things are about to kick off all over again.
Oh Wonder started life with just two people. Coming from two opposing musical worlds, Josephine Vander Gucht and Anthony West set about recording and releasing music together from their home studio, not expecting anyone to hear it or pay them much attention. Twelve months later, their thirteen singles made up a vast majority of their self-titled debut and the band set out to play their first and last four shows as a live band. Or so they thought.
What followed was a year of touring that saw the duo play shows in 26 countries and ended up with a sold out homecoming at London's Roundhouse and one last trip around North America. In two years, Oh Wonder had grown beyond two people. After that, they returned home, made scrambled eggs on toast with avocado, chili flakes and lime, and wrote a new album.
"Broadly speaking, I guess this one was a lot more personal," starts Josephine. "We had a lot more personal experiences to draw from," continues Anthony. "We'd been on the road for two years, experiencing highs and lows. We were part of a community with fans, and our band and our crew and then had to also deal with the loneliness of being away from family and friends."
There was also the "constant questioning and self-doubt that comes from just, being a human," to contend with. "It's a general, world-wide tendency to over question everything. You feel so alone, and then you just want space. You can feel empowered and free and amazing, then the next day you're so miserable and depressed. Touring exacerbates that 100%. You're playing to 3000 people in a room who scream your name, but you feel so miserable sometimes because this isn't a conversation and I'm just performing. I don't know any of you, not really. That's really odd. Then you have shows where you feel like you're speaking and connecting with all these people." 'Ultralife' looks to reinforce the conversation. To enhance the connection.
"pull" text="Music captures a snapshot or a moment.
As conflicting as the journey was, Oh Wonder found strength and drive in other people. It's those connections that breath life into their second record. Writing towards a body of work for the first time means it's also the first time they've been sat on music they can't instantly release. "The number of times I've just wanted to send a Dropbox link to a fan saying 'Here you go, just have it,' because that's what you make music for, you make it for people."
Wanting to capture the instant excitement of playing live, there was no complicated plans or the chance for overthinking. "The main thing is not to feel any pressure, 'cos I think we would have written a totally different album if we felt the pressure of an audience. We would have overthought things and probably not have released this record for another year." Instead, the sunburst reaction was key. "Music captures a snapshot or a moment. Then you have to pass it on, give it to someone else and make another one." The day the band finished the record, they started rehearsals for the live show.
It's little gestures that define 'Ultralife'. It's "about finding someone or something that makes you feel ultra, meaning an extraordinary, exciting or uncommon way of living. It's about finding something that pulls out the best of you and pulls out the tiny moments. It's not a massive thing. Amidst all the craziness, and the banality of living, you can find little moments that hype you up and pull you up. It's about finding what those are or who gives you that."
'Ultralife' opens with the claustrophobic 'Solo' - "a metaphor for being at a house party surrounded by all these self-absorbed people, and just needing to get out and breathe" - and ends with the stark curtain drop of 'Waste', an ode to missing home and missing friends. It's because the band realised that "people need people". "That need to be on your own and nourish yourself, that's awesome, but you can't be a one-man band. You have to rely on people. It's important; we work in a pack as humans."
"Self-development is with other people and yourself," adds Anthony.
"Those songs are the bookends, and the album is trying to explore where to find that or how to find that," explains Josephine. "But it's okay that you feel lonely, because everyone does."
"You've got the potential to feel amazing, and you'll feel both. It's inevitable you'll feel horrible and amazing so welcome both of them."
"And acknowledge they're both real."
Adding colour to the landscape, the shadowy plunge of 'My Friends' was 'written in floods of tears. It came from a really sad place but we channelled it into something that hopefully helps other people," and 'Lifetimes', all glitter and grins, is "just a great way to disguise a song about climate change as a big pop song. We're very aware that whatever voice you have, no matter how big or how small, you should try and use it for good. Say something. Contribute something to the world." The album is made up of little gestures, but it knows how world-altering they can be.
"pull" text="If you lose your fear and throw yourself in at the deep end, it can be really liberating. Or it can be really awkward.
The most outlandish track on the album, 'High On Humans', all robot voices and heart-swelling interaction, came from a bizarre but affirming journey Josephine had across London. From knee-jerk interrupting a conversation between two girls - "What do you mean you don't like Sriracha?" - that led to a twenty-minute conversation about food, to comforting a man who was panicking after knocking his front teeth out that spiralled into a tube-wide sharing of injuries, the evening didn't go any deeper than the surface, but that didn't stop it feeling real. "I was so hyped. In London, you just don't talk to strangers, and anyone that tries to start a conversation on the tube is a weirdo. This was lovely because everyone got involved." 'Do you have the time? Do you hate your life?" sings the track. "The potential for conversation between those two extremes is endless and infinite." "You can have amazing interactions if you're brave enough to ask," reasons Anthony. "If you lose your fear and throw yourself in at the deep end, it can be really liberating. Or it can be really awkward. It just takes everyone to be a bit more open."
'Ultralife' dances with escape and twirls in an outfit laden with dreams but there's a grit under the surface. The big moments shimmer like an oasis, but they're forged from the personal and the physical. "Human connection is talking and touching other people, that's what it should be," offers Anthony. "In tiny, tiny ways, chatting to a stranger on a train can brighten up your day," adds Josephine. "One of my favourite songs of all time, Polly Paulusma's 'She Moves In Secret Ways', basically says you can plan everything to your last day's end, but not all the little things that happened by accident. And that's totally this band. You can have an overarching plan to make music, but it's all the happy little accidents that happen in the interim that make it amazing."
"It's ever-changing," explains Anthony. We never started with a plan; I don't like making plans. It's great to have goals and stuff you want to get out of things but with a plan comes expectations. The way I see this band, everything is a bonus. It's just a big wave, and we're seeing how long we can ride it for."
Taken from the July issue of Dork, out now. Oh Wonder's album 'Ultralife' is out 14th July.

greater if people consume more of the item when they have a larger quantity on hand.
I'm going to have to define a new pricing metric.
In particular, it's a new margin metric, and I'm going to do that now.
I know you all know what margins are, but what are these things?
What is this word sitting out front, consumption adjusted, what does it mean?
take into account a very common human behavior.
we just consume more of it.
you just naturally want to eat another cookie.
you scoop a little more out of it.
And you think, well does that really happen in the real world?
Actually it happens all the time.
the more you have on hand, the more you are likely to consume.
versus another size of the same product that we are selling.
So, to fix your intuition on this, let's think about an exciting product category.
Let's do paper towels, okay.
And let's assume that we are selling 2 sizes of paper towels.
One is a 4-pack, and another is an 8-pack.
And on these paper towels, we are making margins, okay.
$2 dollars on the 8-size pack.
Now, where am I getting these numbers?
Well, I'm sort of getting them out of the air, but they're a nice baseline.
raised the price of the 8-pack very high, then people would just buy 2 4-packs.
So, this is a very nice baseline to be thinking about.
if you want to think about this in unit margins, that's fine.
That would be $1 divided by 4, and that is 0.25 per unit.
that's going to be equivalent, it's $0.25 per unit.
the same amount of money per unit on either one of these 2 sizes.
But, is that really true?
your consumption goes up by 20%, okay?
pull 3 paper towels instead of 2 paper towels per se, all right?
So, that can easily happen a lot in these kind of markets.
Well, we take that into account through consumption-adjusted margins.
And the way we calculate these, and we can think about these as unit margins.
So CA, that's consumption-adjusted unit margins.
we know that the margin on the 4-pack is equal to $0.25 per unit.
taking into account this 20% consumption expansion we know occurs?
you multiply that by 1 + 0.2.
Where's that 0.2 coming from?
It's coming from that 20% expansion.
you can check my math, you'll get a $0.30 margin per unit on that.
Now, what do you do with that number?
we'll see some things in the Heinz case that we can do with that number.
promote the 8-pack, and still make as much money as you were on a 4-pack?
to be a little bit more aggressive in our marketing and promotion on that.
So, the way we would do that, you can think about this as a break-even analysis.
make just as much money as we're making on the 4-pack?
Well, let's call that margin x.
And I know that 1.2x and 2 is coming from that 20% expansion again.
Whatever that number is, that has to equal 0.25.
Of course, that x is going to be lower than 0.25, right?
still make that money on the consumption expansion.
If you do this mathematics, you're going to get about $0.21.
I'm rounding a little bit.
That's not precisely correct, but it's pretty close to correct.
And that's the per unit margin.
I can charge $0.21 per unit, and what does that equal?
be making just as much money as if I sold 2 4-packs.


Our goal is to get students so excited about math that they want to stay after class, and continue doing math at home.
Educational games can make a lasting difference in a child's later education.
– Early exposure to mathematical thinking and problem solving helps children learn the school curriculum and easily attain the required skills.
– Many children think of math as boring and dry, and they start developing math anxiety as early as first grade.
– We want to capture children's interest now while they do not have any preconceptions about the subject.
Math games workshops are an hour long class during which we introduce the most exciting and engaging educational toys and games.
We believe that learning through play captivates children's attention like nothing else.
Children can forget what they learn through mindless drilling exercises, but the concepts they learn through games stay with them for life. Our workshops foster children's natural curiosity by exposing them to a wide range of puzzles, construction sets, mosaics and geometric games.
Our classes are a fun introduction to the world of math.
– improving number sense: from counting objects to doing simple arithmetic, we help students develop a strong number sense.
– developing logical thinking: kids love solving puzzles and we want to nurture their natural curiosity.
– introduction to spatial reasoning: construction sets and mosaics are a perfect tool to inspire 2D and 3D thinking.
– working as a team: we encourage students to work together, and help them develop the social skills needed for solving complex problems.

Boston Children's Museum recently partnered with Science City at Union Station in Kansas City, Missouri to plan and design multisensory STEAM learning experiences for young children.
Science City, Kansas City's Science Center, is a leading science destination featuring over 200 interactive exhibits. Science City was seeking a partner with extensive early childhood learning expertise to help expand early childhood learning opportunities in Kansas City. Science City approached Boston Children's Museum to develop early childhood spaces based on the Museum's experience, history, and reputation for excellence.
The Museum is working with Science City to create three areas meant to spark curiosity and creativity, and help children develop a sense of agency that will foster independent and self-directed learning. The Children's Zone will serve children birth to three years old and their adult caregivers, and will draw on Boston Children's Museum iconic PlaySpace exhibit. The second area, Messy Arts, will be a flexible STEAM space that can be used for toddlers on weekdays, and for school age children on weekends and vacations. All Aboard! will use Union Station as the backdrop for imaginary play and STEAM experiences. Interactives in All Aboard! will echo the importance of Kansas City as a transportation north-south, east-west nexus. All exhibits are planned for a 2019 opening.
Boston Children's Museum is able to draw on extensive applied knowledge and understanding of childhood development to assist Science City in developing cutting edge experiences for their youngest visitors.
Boston Children's Museum's worldwide recognition attracts considerable attention and requests for partnerships. In recent years, the Museum has created exhibits for Worcester Historical Society and the Houghton Mifflin Harcourt corporate headquarters. The Museum has also consulted on projects in China and Korea.

Module 7 Blog Topic: Apart from campaign outcomes, what, if anything, can a public relations practitioner learn from the evaluation of a campaign?
Planning – Central management function. Determine objectives and strategies.
Assessment of campaign's budget – Was too much spent? Are the costs justifiable?
Assessment of all areas used in the campaign – Were all efforts involved effective?
Assessment of objectives – Were all goals and objectives met?
There are many measurement techniques used in PR campaigns that are used from a variety of sources. Wilcox et al. (2013, p.128) states "sophisticated techniques are used, including computerised news clip analysis, survey sampling, quasi-experimental designs in which the audience is divided into groups that see different aspects of a public relations campaign, and attempts to correlate efforts directly with sales." Macnamara (2002) explains the PR practitioner will also learn from these methods that the overall value of a campaign can be measured, and most importantly, the evaluation stage is the only stage which can determine the ultimate accountability measure; Return on Investment (ROI). The definition of ROI (Entrepreneur Encyclopaedia 2014) is the most common profitability ratio with many ways to be measured. A ROI has been increasingly used by PR practitioners to demonstrate campaign results to decision-makers and other stakeholders (Curtis 2013).
With all the above mentioned evaluation techniques and information available, a PR practitioner can gain a significant range of knowledge, as well as gain a well-informed perspective for future events/campaigns.
Module 6 Blog Topic: Using your blog as an example, explain how you have used presentation to reflect professionalism. Justify your post in the context of public relations.
The ever-growing ways to present information in different language styles makes it very difficult to get a target audience to interpret what is actually intended. Emails, advertising, SMS, Facebook status updates, Tweets, the list goes on… all can be shortened or abbreviated informal messages. In contrast, formal educational sources such as textbooks, scholarly journal articles and so forth can be academically written to the point that they end up simply creating confusion for many readers. A definition of a blog (Macmillan 2014) is a web site of posts that can be both informally and formally written to express an individual's opinion, interests and personal beliefs in a conversation style.
In my previous blog I act in the context of a PR practitioner for a flying fox charity discussing the Hendra virus (WordPress 2014). I easily could've included in the presentation pictures of infected dying animals to gain sympathy from the reader, or added in my elected charity's logo in order to promote it, or even add an attractive graphic to make my personal blog look more professional… but in my opinion that would've been unethical from a PR standpoint and taken the reader away from the blog's serious key message and title, Hendra virus: more research needed.
The presentation of my previous blog reflects PR professionalism by leaving out distracting graphics/fonts, and instead ethically focuses on the clear brief message, not only the potential benefits that could be gained by my charity. The blog is free of spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, is just over 300 words long which met my assessment criteria and is in a conversational style which intends to prevent the reader from getting bored. Furthermore my arguments/opinions are justified with references, PR ethical reasoning as well as a section available to discuss further points of view and comments about my blog.


One of the most common strategies of risk management is through the imposition of insurance requirements on third-party contractual relationships, such as with tenants, vendors, suppliers and contractors. Although the practice of risk transfer is widely used, it can be difficult for the Risk Manager to know what is the right level of protection for a given risk, or to even be able to foresee all the potential risk events that could present a threat.
In a recent white paper from the Institute of Faculty and Actuaries, defining what is an actual operational risk to the organization was described as an area of considerable difficulty. It is no wonder many Risk Managers do not have a well-defined classification system and make guesstimates. It is a question we are routinely asked in our own interaction with clients. See what other Risk Managers are doing: Download examples of actual risk classifications.
In the insurance world, risk classification is used primarily to determine what the cost of insurance should be when there is not sufficient information to estimate the price for a given situation. In order to derive a price, events that are expected to have the same costs are grouped together. A price is calculated for the group with the assumption that it is applicable to all members of that group. In this way, insurance risk classifications are created.
Although not actuaries, Risk Managers can apply basic risk assessment procedures to build their own classification system. A good start is to inventory your organization's exposure to third-party risk through identification of potential pitfalls that could negatively impact the enterprise. Spell out what those third parties are actually doing and how they are doing it. Clearly a locksmith doesn't have the same exposure as that of a crane operator, but some activities are more nuanced, or subtle.
For example, technology continues to pervade enterprise businesses in myriad ways, much of it outsourced with close, often interconnected ties binding both supplier and client. Different kinds of insurance coverages are being imposed on these classifications apart from the usual CGL, Auto and WC. As underwriters continue to subdivide cyber and E&O risks it might be useful to study those categorizations when formulating your own classification system.
Unfortunately, there is little specific reference material available to assist the Risk Manager in the challenge of risk classification. Everyone seems to brew their own. And of course, events outside the bounds of conventional risk assessment - those dreaded Black Swans - are always a threat that is impossible to quantify. Uncertainty is, after all, the essential foundation for the entire insurance industry.
Nevertheless, combining risk assessment due diligence with risk management best-practices, such as verification and enforcement of contractual insurance coverage requirements, the assignation of being an Additional Insured and undertaking proper tenant/vendor pre-qualification will go a long way to ensure that your risk classification system, although never perfect, has at least been formulated and considered procedures are now in place.

There is a nice responsive tabs plugin which is jQuery based aptly called Responsive-Tabs, it handles changing the layout from a tabbed content structure to an accordion layout at a set media query size. The accordion layout is better suited for smaller mobile/tablet sizes.
ACF Pro comes with an addon called the Repeater field which allows a user to perpetually add additional rows of data of custom fields to a page or post (or custom post type) in WordPress.
This can be an ideal client solution for adding repetitive data without having to enter code or risk user error on inadvertently messing up the html structure of such a tab/accordion layout in the WordPress post editor.
This tutorial uses ACF Repeater and Responsive Tabs to produce an easy to use front end solution.
Download and install ACF Pro, then create a new custom field group called Tabbed Content with a field label called Tabs (tabs as the field name), this is the repeater field – this will then have 2 sub-fields called tab_link and tab_content.
Also in the location area you can target which post/page that you want the Tabbed Content custom fields to appear in.
But in this instance I am outputting this as a shortcode, but you can also do it as template, it's easy for the end user to reposition the content anywhere on the page.
The html base structure is simple with an unordered list followed by corresponding divs.
In the code I am running 2 while loops as the html has to close the list items before starting the div content elements. There are 2 increment variables which take care of the href and id linking of the linked tabbed content.
For positioning on the page or post you then would just add the shortcode [tab_content] in this instance.
Download the Responsive Tabs plugin and extract jquery.responsiveTabs.min.js and file in your /js theme folder also get the CSS files and file in your css folder, the plugin comes with 2 of them, I have put the 2 CSS files together into 1 and slightly adjusted them to remove demo styling and give a more neutral initial style, you will need to customize this further for your design.
Also adding some dashicon icons for the open/close symbols. Copy of the CSS is in the snippets.
Then also create a jQuery init file tabs-init.js and also save in your js folder.
The init file is using the id #responsive-tabs which is the id used in the html structure, use what you like and for more parameters check out the options here.
Now enqueue these 2 script files and CSS in your functions.php file and you are ready to add in some responsive tabbed content.
CSS for responsive tabs, this has been merged into 1 file, original distribution of the plugin has 2 files.
don't work … i tried many ways ..
thank you very much for your work you saved my life i was tired shortcode !
No worries, glad it worked out!
Hi it's works great thabks alot!
how can i add a transition effect between tab to tab?
Mine is not reading the CSS. There is a bunch of styles for "r-tabs" and such but when you view the inspector none of those class or ID names are being applied.
I take it all back, Firefox was claiming all the assets were being loaded but Chrome corrected them. I think I see my issue. Sorry to bother 😀 Thanks for the tutorial.
How do I even get the code on my html page? Do I just type in [tab_content] in my body? Its showing up as text only.
The functions is now outputting the tabs from the shortcode for me..
Hi there is this possible to achieve I created a flexible content then I inserted this tabs in repeater however when displaying 2 layouts / repeaters (1 vertical and horizontal tabs). It doesn't work can you help please on how to achieve two tabs in one page? Thanks in advance!
It's works fine in the backend wp-admin. But I can't achieve the snippet code to show tabs in the template.
I did everything step-by-step, and the fields are showing in the dashboard Homepage, but nothing is showing on my live page. What code do I need to put in my homepage template to make it display?

Home Features Ariana Grande's First Nationwide Tour Stops in Florida
Ariana Grande's First Nationwide Tour Stops in Florida
Performances in Orlando and Miami
March 26 and 28
Boca Raton native Ariana Grande's transformation from teen queen into pop goddess was completed last year, as the star wrapped up her commitments with the Nickelodeon network and pursued pop music full-time. Her album My Everything went to #1 on the charts and landed her a Grammy Award nomination. Now, she is on her first headlining nationwide tour, The Honeymoon Tour, and she will be making two stops in Florida. The first will be on Thursday, March 26 at 7:30 p.m. at the Amway Center in Orlando, and the second will be at AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami on Saturday, March 28 at 7:30 p.m. Rixton and Cashmere Cat will open for Ariana Grande for both Florida appearances.
Ariana Grande first became well-known to nationwide audiences in 2010 when she was cast as Cat Valentine on the Nickelodeon sitcom Victorious. The series ran for 60 episodes and spawned a spin-off, Sam & Cat, in which Grande also starred. She released her first solo music album, Yours Truly, in 2013. It sold over 500,000 copies and earned her a top ten pop single, "The Way," with Mac Miller. In 2014 she released her sophomore album, My Everything. The lead single, "Problem," featuring Iggy Azalea, went quintuple-platinum in the U.S. Three more top ten singles followed: "Break Free" (featuring Zedd), "Bang Bang" (with Jessie J and Nicki Minaj), and "Love Me Harder" (featuring The Weeknd). In between recording and acting, Grande is also an LGBT activist and ally, and has a very close relationship with her gay older brother, former Big Brother contestant Frankie Grande.
Tickets are available right now for both Florida performances, starting at $52 per person. Tickets and VIP packages can be bought by going to Ariana Grande's tour website at arianagrande.com/tour. Tickets may also be bought directly from the box offices of the venues in question, which are open right up until the hour of the performance. Amway Center's box office is at 400 W. Church Street in Orlando; call (407) 440-7000 to speak to a ticket agent. The AmericanAirlines Arena's ticket office is located at 601 Biscayne Boulevard in Miami; call (786) 777-1000 to speak to a ticket agent.

Photos: Get a Look at the Revamped California Adventure (Without Trekking to Anaheim)
By Sam Brodey
It's been nearly five years in the making, but Disney has finally finished remodeling, rebranding and just plain fixing Disneyland's troubled neighbor, California Adventure. The Golden State-themed park opened next door to Disneyland in 2001 to major fanfare, but thanks to poor word-of-mouth and the fact that most attractions replicated real stuff -- i.e. Hollywood -- located 45 minutes away, attendance suffered. It became an afterthought, mostly a place for exasperated adults to get a much-needed alcoholic drink after a few hours at Disneyland (Mickey-tinis, anyone?).
Today's grand re-opening, complete with Mickey and friends (including Walt Disney Co. CEO Bob Iger) is the culmination of a $1.1 billion effort by the Mouse to enhance the overall experience and "timelessness" of the park. Park guests are now greeted by Buena Vista Street, a romanticized vision of 1920s Los Angeles, complete with street cars and a theater that serves as a restaurant and bar.
The place has been revamped across the board, but the centerpiece of the transformation is "Cars Land," a brand-new area modeled after Radiator Springs, the town in which Pixar's successful Cars films are set. A press release from Disney describes the 12-acre theme area as "one of the largest and most elaborate attractions created for a Disney theme park."
Pixar's known for its magic touch, so maybe the Cars-driven remake of the park can bring it back to life. If you don't have the time or fortitude to make the pilgrimage down there, check out these shots of the spiffy new additions.
