Zooplankton is free swimming microscopic animal. They play an important role as a food for aquatic fauna. We may even consider them as the most numerous animals on earth. They forms a remarkable bioindicator for water pollution. In the present piece of work an attempt has been made to investigate the distribution of Zooplankton in Vena river district Nagpur. Study of Zooplanktons in various seasons has been carried out at a 4 sites of Vena river. Samples were collected in all the month during year 2013. The Zooplankton population is represented by four different groups in winter season viz. Protozoa, Copepoda, Cladocera and Rotifera. In the present investigation during winter season maximum density of Zooplankton is in the month of January. However Zooplanktons minimum density was recorded in the month of October due to the domestic sewage, industrial sewage, concentration of water and rise in temperature.

Exploring Digital Teaching, Learning, and Scholarship [video]
Search News and Announcements
MIDDLEBURY, Vt. - The opportunities and perils of digital technology in higher education provided a thought-provoking two days for this year's Clifford Symposium. The annual event, this year titled "Transforming the Academy in the Digital Era," delved into such varied topics as open source publishing and digital scholarship, privacy issues, and the arts.
In his opening keynote address, John Palfrey, the author of four books about education in the digital age and head of school at Phillips Academy in Andover, advocated for a flexible form of "blended learning."
Palfrey said there are numerous ways to combine digital tools with face-to-face pedagogy, and "when we figure out the sweet spot in the combination of the two, we can do some really interesting work together."
In the "self-blended" model, for example, students use remote online coursework to supplement the traditional curriculum. After taking a conventional algebra class, students would have the option to go online, watch supplemental lessons, and tackle math problems—all in an effort to master the concepts taught in class. Palfrey cited the nonprofit website Khan Academy as a prime example.
Video: Keynote Address by John Palfrey
"You can't get your teacher to go over the Pythagorean Theorem 22 times," Palfrey said, "but you can get Sal Khan to do it 22 times in a five-minute online video." Then, after watching the online lesson as many times as necessary, students do a series of exercises associated with the video. This step, in which students use online tools to gain mastery of a subject, is of enormous importance, said Palfrey.
Palfrey, who served as the director of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University from 2002 to 2008, acknowledged that blended learning is more effective for subjects such as mathematics and computer science, and less so for studying history or languages.
Calling himself "shamelessly optimistic" about the future of the Internet and its role in education, he said, "I really do believe there is enormous opportunity here, but on the other side it's not just a digital utopia." There are dangers for higher education "in the teaching and learning zone, or in scholarship, or in libraries, and it is extremely important that we not underestimate the force of what is happening. This is a moment to be intentional about the choices we are making."
Video: Digital Poster Session
Elsewhere during the symposium, students and faculty browsed through an interactive art and technology exhibit and attended panels on topics such as "new technology and scholarly communication," "digital media and creative arts," and "spatial research and digital methods."
As a sample of the digital scholarship frontier, the symposium offered a "digital poster session" in which faculty members, at tables full of laptops, shared research projects fully presented online.
"Our idea was that a digital poster was a way of sharing work that is not suited to printing on a poster," said symposium organizer Jason Mittell, professor of film and media culture and American studies.
"With a digital poster, the user has the opportunity to navigate through the material herself," said Professor of Geography Anne Knowles, whose work on "Holocaust Geographies" was part of the poster session. "I see the digital as adding new dimensions to what we already love to do."
Work from the digital poster session is available for viewing at http://www.middlebury.edu/clifford/2014/posters.
Named for College Professor of History Emeritus Nicholas R. Clifford, the annual symposium features interdisciplinary topics of broad interest. This year's theme of transforming the academy in the digital age is especially timely for Middlebury, which recently launched a campus-wide digital liberal arts initiative, and in 2014 was awarded a major grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to promote digital scholarship.

The sharing economy is quickly becoming a way of life for many Americans. Ridesharing, coworking and co-living arrangements have proved to be not only acceptable but preferred. Before the revolution of all things shared, we rigidly looked at our travel plans in terms of fixed costs and the number of days we could afford to enjoy ourselves. But all that has changed. Leaders in the sharing economy like Airbnb have made it possible to have your own piece of swanky real estate to call your homestead and still travel the world as much as you want. You don't have to sacrifice living space for travel.
Traveling for work can be grueling; flight delays, back-to-back meetings, and eating on the road can all take their toll. Thankfully, travel does have an upside; visiting new cities, racking up frequent flier miles, and having variety in your day-to-day routine are all great perks. Add to these perks the ability to create an additional revenue stream as an Airbnb host and professionals can see their take-home income soar. Perhaps that's why 78 percent of millennials want the option to lease their units short-term to allow for flexibility and extra income. Here are the top 10 professions that are flocking to Airbnb friendly buildings.
Commercial airline pilots spend an average of 12 to 15 days per month in the air, not including their commute time. If they don't have a family waiting at home, that's a big chunk of cash wasted on an empty pad for half of every month. Since most pilots commute to work from another city, they often end up shelling out even more money on a crash pad. Many pilots are opting to sublet their apartments on sites like Airbnb in order to create an income stream using their empty apartments.
The rise of millennial culture has made flexible work arrangements –that many baby boomers and Gen Xers only dreamed about– an expectation. Many freelance writers, graphic designers, developers and community managers are using the freedom that working independently provides to work from anywhere in the world. They hop from spot to spot, Bali to Buenos Aires, savoring the local culture while still earning a living. These freelancers are often characterized as digital nomads, but many still crave their family connections and keep a flat near their loved ones. As the creators of the shared economy, they don't waste a penny on empty living space. They sublet their apartments on Airbnb while they are away of course!
We've all heard about the shortage of nurses in the United States that has basically made it possible to pick and choose from a variety of positions at very competitive pay rates. The travel nursing sector sprung up as a way to fill the demand for nurses in underserved or remote areas of the country. If you're an R.N. looking for something different in your day-to-day, travel nursing could be the answer. These R.N.s typically spend, on average, 13 weeks away from home. Renting out their apartments during their assignment could prove to be the perfect combination of excitement and extra income.
If sailing the high seas floats your boat, then you'll likely spend months on the ocean cruising to your pick of exotic locales from Playa del Carmen to the Isles of Greece. Cruise ship jobs don't require much prior education or training, so many millennials are turning to these positions as a source of free travel. And, returning to extra cash after a long sea journey is a definite plus.
Today's sales jobs don't typically include long drives throughout the interstates of America selling vacuums door-to-door, but they do require a large amount of travel. Whether you spend a couple of days in New York making a sales pitch to clients or two weeks in Tokyo, if you live in an Airbnb friendly building, you can rent out your apartment and turn a profit while you're out of town.
Being a flight attendant has afforded many generations with the opportunity to travel the world at little to no cost. In the 1950s and 60s, airlines billed the job as a non-stop, glamour-filled adventure. And it is true, they do get to see a lot of the world; parts unknown to the average traveler. Every once in awhile, they even have time to sip a Mai Tai in the hotel bar. However, the pay isn't spectacular and pushing that drink cart is physically demanding work! Flight attendants spend 120 very long days a year up in the air. 21st-century flight attendants are choosing more and more to make their dwellings part of the shared economy. It can provide an additional source of savings or extra cash to invest in an upgraded living space.
Consulting work is an exciting field that many millennials have turned to in order to apply their often diverse skill sets. Projects can be short-term or last years. Many times, consulting work requires frequent travel since clients are not typically based in your home city. Consultants spend almost as much time on the road as flight attendants at 110 days per year, so why not capitalize on all of those amenities in your multi-family apartment building and attract a few short-term renters?
Athletes spend a lot of time away from home chasing their next win. It's a match made in heaven for the thousands of amateur athletes that are truly playing for the love of the game and need some form of backup income to fund their dreams. Amateur coaches and trainers can also reap some monetary rewards for their hard work and dedication.
Whether it's on the campaign trail or in session, politicians spend a lot of time away from the hearth as well. The United States Congress is in session 133 days of the year. That's a long time to leave the nest empty, so having a short-term renter can be ideal for all parties involved. State legislatures are in session for less time, but many state reps and senators are paid a penance. Politicians can serve the public without paying a hefty price tag to do so if they put their homes on the short-term rental market.
Covering breaking news in exotic locales can be a heart-pounding experience. Journalists have to go where the story is, which means they are often away from home for long stretches of time. One of the best things about Airbnb for journalists is that you can list your property as a short-term rental the minute you get called away to your next assignment.
Whether they have a regular gig requiring predictable travel or a freelance position, Airbnb friendly buildings have become desirable to all types of professionals who travel for work. Multifamily building owners who provide the option for residents to rent their units short-term will continue to attract traveling professionals and others who want to participate in the sharing economy. Pillow's multifamily partners utilize this valuable amenity in their marketing efforts and it's been paying off. Being Airbnb friendly is differentiating them in lead generation efforts and helping their buildings outperform others. The global nature of today's economy is swiftly moving the residential markets into the shared economy, so don't miss out on being amongst the most cutting-edge, multi-family properties.

Todd Terry & ANT LaROCK - Back Around
02 May Critic Jonni 0 Comments
Back Around - Todd Terry & ANT LaROCK |
Yes, you heard right, one of DJ's legends, Todd Terry, will be at Birmingham Pride, in the dance arena! He was the whole reason "Missing" by Everything But The Girl became an international hit in 1995; the song was initially released in 1994 with little-to-no success; a year later it was re-released with Todd Terry's club mix which made it a global sensation, peaking near the top of most worldwide charts. Now he'll be at Birmingham Pride. This song is one of his latest, released under Ministry of Sound YouTube Channel in 2015, it's a collaboration with ANT LaROCK. Watch DJs play this song in the comfort of their own homes whilst smoking and grooving to the beat of this infectious song titled "Back Around" by Todd Terry & ANT LaROCK.
Todd Terry is one iconic DJ who is still bringing out amazing hits to date. It'll sure be interesting what his DJ set brings to the Birmingham Pride's dance arena. He has released a lot of amazing music in the decades he has been DJing, and let's not even think about the awesome remixes he has released. He really is quite the legend in the DJ world and has more than proved his DJ skills. I can't believe he's been confirmed for Birmingham Pride, and I'm sure the dance arena will be packed when he's DJ set is on. This song is in collaboration with ANT LaROCK. In comparison to Todd Terry, he is a very new artist and is on Todd Terry's InHouse Records label - which totally explains the collaboration. He'd definitely one of the up-and-coming DJs around and has already remixed some prolific tracks. As a collaboration, this song is pure fire, and I hope Todd Terry includes this one in his Birmingham Pride DJ set.
Directed by Josh Cohen, this music video showcases various DJs playing this song in their own homes. It's a very relaxed music video, with some of the DJs smoking. I kind of have a thing about people smoking in their own homes, but each to their own, and there's much more pressing concerns in the world.
There are no really big major highlights; it's just interesting to see them do their thing in the comfort of their own home. They all clearly are feeling this track; well, that's if they are playing this track.
Overall, this music video is barely relatable to the song. It doesn't showcase the artists, and it's not that interesting for viewers to watch. It's disappointing since the song is fire, for sure.

Kanye West Interviews Kim Kardashian & Asks About Their Personal Lives
Posted by itstheboombap
Mon, September 2, 2019 at 11:06 PM
It's still surprising to a generation of Kanye West fans that he not only married but has gone on to have four children with Kim Kardashian. The couple is undeniably happy and in love, but back in the day, there was no way of knowing that 'Ye would be tied to the First Family of reality television. Regardless of the public's approval, the pair have accomplished much in the seven years that they've been together, and while Kim has built an entire brand from living her life out loud, Kanye remains private...with the occasional outbursts.
Recently, Kim posed for the cover of Vogue Arabia and was interviewed for the magazine by her husband. He made sure to cover a wide range of topics—from fame to money to their children to education to her business ventures—but 'Ye made sure to ask her about their early lives together. He inquired as to what she thought of him when they first met, and she remembered that it was before he even released his first album and was just known as a producer.
"I was really shy. You thought I was Brandy's assistant, which I wasn't," Kim said. "Ever since you said that, it's everywhere… like 'Kim is Brandy's assistant.' I was her friend and stylist. [laughs]. I thought you were attractive, nice, very charming, really funny, powerful – I was in awe of you, but I was really shy, quiet, and a little nervous, to be honest."
She also admitted that she was heavily addicted to fame when she began to make headlines as a socialite and, well, there was that whole thing with Ray J. "I do agree that fame can be addictive and it took me a long time to recognize how lost you can become when you put too much focus on it," Kim stated. "People often ask me, 'Money or fame?' My focus has always been on success, and with success comes money. I'm at this place now where I am not concerned anymore about fame but if you would have asked me this question 10 years ago, I probably would have said that fame and money were of equal importance. My focus has shifted a lot." You can read more about how she knew he was the one and why she sees the West family living in Wyoming here.

Born in 1955, GARNET ROGERS began his musical career in high school playing violin, flute and guitar with his older brother, Stan Rogers. Upon finishing school in 1974, he and his brother formed a trio and went on to change the face of folk music in North America with their performances that left audiences breathless, records which to date have sold in the millions, and songs which have been sung and recorded by thousands around the globe.
Upon Stan's untimely death in 1983, Garnet set out on his own, forming, along with his parents, one of the very first independent record labels in North America, long before "Indies" became fashionable. Thus far, Garnet has written and recorded 18 highly acclaimed records to date; received a Juno nomination; and recorded either solo or with Grammy nominated American folk icon Greg Brown, as well as legendary Scottish singer Archie Fisher (recently made a Member of the British Empire at Buckingham Palace).
Garnet also authored and recently published a memoir called Night Drive, a wild, funny, and vulgar telling of his years on the road with his brother. Night Drive has received uniformly rave reviews in North America and Europe, and continues to sell well. Resolutely avoiding the mainstream music industry, Garnet has refused all offers from large record labels, with the exception of a "best-of" compilation done with the highly respected Minneapolis record label Red House Records, the largest independent roots music label in North America. His own record label and publishing company, Snow Goose Records, remains family run.
Over the years Garnet has worked or appeared with artists such as the late Bill Morrissey (a Grammy-nominated writer, singer, and best-selling author), Mary Chapin Carpenter (five time Grammy-winning singer), the late Guy Clark, Shawn Colvin, folk legends Judy Collins and Tom Paxton, acclaimed British producer Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois (fellow Canadian and noted producer for U2), Bluegrass legend Bill Monroe, Harry Connick Jr., and many others.
Venues where Garnet has played include the Kennedy Center for the Arts in Washington DC, Lincoln Center in New York City, and the Victoria Ballroom in Vancouver (as special musical guest in an evening honoring Nelson Mandela). As well, he has played at nearly every major music festival in North America, and hundreds of smaller concert halls and clubs around the continent, from Florida to the Yukon, Newfoundland to San Diego.
Garnet Rogers has been a guest on NPR shows All Things Considered, A Prairie Home Companion, Good Evening with Noah Adams, Fresh Air with Terry Gross; as well, he's appeared on West Virginia's Mountain Stage, CBC's As It Happens, The Vicki Gabereau show, "Q" with Tom Power, Morningside with Peter Gzowski, and Swinging on a Star with Murray Maclaughlan.
Garnet is to be the subject of a documentary in the coming year, intended to touch on the travels and travails that make up the story of his touring life. The documentary is to be directed by Jonathan Silvers, the noted filmmaker whose most recent three-part series, "Dead Reckoning: War, Crime, and Justice from WW2 to the War on Terror," was featured on PBS in spring 2017.
Garnet Rogers continues to write, to record, and to tour all across Canada and the States. He spends his off-time between his home in Nova Scotia and his farm in Ontario, where his wife, Gail Parker-Rogers, breeds and raises thoroughbred horses, several of which are on the US and Canadian Olympic Teams.
****Garnet requests that audience members bring non-perishable donations of food, and items of personal care (shampoo, toothpaste, soap) to help the less fortunate in the community.
Lunch: Tuesday – Friday 11:30 am – 1:30 pm
Evenings: Tuesday – Saturday open at 5:00 pm

As Shutdown Looms, House Agrees on Funding Government Through Feb. 18
December 2, 2021 by NationalWatch
As Shutdown Looms, House Agrees on Funding Government Through Feb. 18 Sen. Mitch McConnell (AP)
Thursday, 02 December 2021 08:27 AM
Lawmakers in the U.S. Congress have reached agreement to fund federal agencies until Feb. 18, House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Rosa DeLauro said on Thursday, as they scramble to avoid a partial government shutdown this weekend.
"Agreement has been reached on a Continuing Resolution," DeLauro said in a statement.
She said the measure would be filed in the House of Representatives, though it was not clear how soon the funding measure would reach the floor of the House.
Congress has until midnight on Friday to pass a measure that would continue funding federal government operations during the pandemic, amid concerns about a new rise in COVID-19 cases and the arrival of the Omicron variant in the United States.
If the House approved the new resolution, it would move on to the Senate before President Joe Biden could sign it into law.
But a group of hardline Republican conservatives are threatening to delay Senate consideration in protest against Biden's COVID-19 vaccine mandates, raising the possibility that the government could shut down over the weekend while the Senate moves toward eventual passage.
A partial government shutdown would create a political embarrassment for both parties, but especially for Biden's Democrats, who narrowly control both chambers of Congress.

The Boston Marathon is undoubtedly one of the well-known marathons and serious runners from all over the world dream to take part in this prestigious marathon. It is held yearly and it attracts at least 500,000 spectators and participants each year. Both amateur and professionals run in this most-sought-after event and this year, the first american man to win the Boston Marathon since 1983 crossed the finish line. It was Meb Keflezighi, 38 years old, who finished and won the men's division with a time of 2:08:37 (which is technically a 2-hour "sprint" for most people).
Read more about Meb here.
The Boston Marathon has encountered lots of issues and controversies through the years, unfortunately including the Boston Marathon 2013 bombing, but did you know that women were not allowed to run in this race until 1967? Women were barred from running the famed Boston Marathon for over 70 years!
History tells us that women were generally excluded from participating in sports, and this includes running the Boston Marathon. However, a woman named Kathrine Switzer made the first attempt to run over this barrier and succeeded. Kathrine was a student from Syracuse University and she was only 20-years old when she registered for the Boston Marathon using her initials K.V. Switzer. No one realized that she registered a woman and she was able to officially sign up for the race and was given a race entry number.
During the race, a marathon official (balding guy in the photos) realized that a lone woman was running the Boston Marathon among hordes of men. This official tried to stop Kathrine and physically forced her to run the marathon when he discovered K.V. was a female runner. Other runners including Kathrine's boyfriend helped Kathrine continue running and blocked the official from stopping her. The lone female runner in the 1967 Boston Marathon made headlines around the world and proved that anything can be done in spite of hindrances.
After running the Boston Marathon, Kathrine Switzer engaged in promoting sports participation among girls and women. With the help of other passionate women, the Boston Athletic Association finally was convinced to drop their discrimination against women and allowed them to participate in the race in 1972.
Because of Kathrine's dream and perseverance, the Boston Marathon opened its starting line to women, and by 2011, almost 43% of the Boston Marathon runners were female! Apart from the Boston Marathon, Kathrine Switzer also helped lead the drive to include women's marathon in the Olympic Games which was achieved at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
Kathrine also has a book entitled Running and Walking for Women Over 40 : The Road to Sanity and Vanity by Switzer, Kathrine  which is very inspiring for people over this age. It's never too late to run!
Also check out 26.2 Marathon Stories written by Kathrine Switzer and Roger Robinson, an elite international runner for thirty years (1966-1995)!
Did you know that today in 1992, the National Hockey League Players began their first strike after 75 years in the league?
Shouldn't Professional Athletes be Paid for their Skills and Talent?
We can argue that these players deserve to be paid because of their talent, skill, and dedication. But sometimes, this incentive becomes the motivation for the players' whining.
Throughout the years in sports, teams and even individual athletes threaten not to play unless their demands were met – and these demands usually involves (getting more) money. Labor unions got involved and by forming player associations such as MLB, NBA, NFL, and the NHL, these athletes have been having more 'power' to demand their wants. This results in what we know as either a strike by the players or a 'lockout' by the owners.
The 1992 NHL strike lasted for 10 days and ended with unresolved issues. 2 years later, NHL had a worse lockout which reduced the games from 84 to 48.
Why do Professional Athletes Hold Strikes and Lockouts?
It all usually boils down to money but issues such as playing conditions, benefits and feeling that the owners are unfair are also common reasons for staging these strikes. No matter what the reason may be, these whining and complaining costs lost games, discouraged fans, and even broken relationships between athletes and managers.
Athletes ought to play for the love of the game. They used to, and many still do. But some act like spoiled brats forgetting their fans and teammates and the contract they already signed to ask for new demands and opportunities. Athletes become self-centered and egoistic. They won't ask for more money if they don't think that they deserve to be paid more. In the American Hockey League (AHL), the minimum salary that a player can receive in 2012-2013 is $32,500. However, there is no maximum salary that they can earn.
What makes an Athlete a Winner?
No one likes a player who always complains and whines. Surely, being a whiner is not a characteristic of a winner. The character of athletes is seen in what he or she prioritizes. Yes, the discipline, hard work, and sacrifice that athletes give for their sport is priceless, but getting the rewards should not be the focus when playing sports. There are lots of values that can be learned through Sports. Children and Teens look up to their 'sports idols' as an example.
What Values can the Youth Learn through Sports and How?
Above is a link to a blog about what values that the youth can learn through organized sports. It listed discipline, hard work, sacrifice, dealing with success and failures, striving for goals, prioritization, and overcoming adversity. Another value that I think is very important but is usually neglected in the sports world today is "Humility." All the praises and fame that a athletes can receive makes them forget how they should keep their feet on the ground. Unique skills are adored. Displayed brutal talent is admired. Humility is forgotten and sometimes thought to be for the losing ones.
"True humility is intelligent self-respect which keeps us from thinking too highly or too meanly of ourselves.
It is awesome to see how a player can do amazing stunts that others struggle to do, but it is more wonderful to see people go beyond their own comfort to make the life of others more meaningful. Only a humble person can do that. Only humble athletes can play in spite of hard opposition and difficult circumstances that put them down.
Do you feel like whining when things don't go your way?
Do you quit easily when walk out when you get hurt or things seem unfair?
Be a winner, not a whiner!
This post may be a bit late as the less familiar Sochi 2014 Paralympic Games had their closing ceremony almost two weeks ago, but I believe it's not too late to be inspired by these amazing athletes who did not let anything keep them from doing their best.
It is only the 11th Paralympic Winter Games held for athletes with disabilities under the International Paralympic Committee (IPC). The Games featured 72 medal events in five known sports from the Olympics, and is the first Paralympic that held a snowboarding event. Amidst the stark international tension regarding the country's intervention in Crimea, Ukraine the Paralympic Games went on. Canada stayed in top 3 with a total of 16 medals having 7 of them Gold. The host country had 30 Gold medals from 80 medals in total which kept them in first place. Forty-five National Paralympic Committees joined in Sochi 2014 Paralympic winter games with Brazil, Turkey, and Uzbekistan joining for the first time.
Brian McKeever wins his 10th career gold medal.
Brian McKeever, Canada's cross-country skier and biathlete who began skiing at the age of thirteen. He lost his vision at the age of 19 due to Stargardt's disease. He won gold in men's 20km visually impaired cross-country skiing race in Sochi 2014 Paralympic Games.
Oksana Masters is a Ukranian-born Paralympic rower and cross-country skier from the U.S. Nordic Skiing Team. She was born with several radiation-induced birth defects including different leg length, missing shin bones, webbed fingers with no thumb, and six toes on each foot. She was sadly abandoned by her birth parents at a Ukrainian orphanage until 7 years old. Then she was adopted by Gay Masters, a professor who had no children of her own.
Billy Bridges is a Canadian ice sledge hockey player who has spina bifida, a congenital disorder that causes the spinal cord to remain unfused and open, sometimes protruding through the bones. He and the Canadian team won the ice sledge hockey bronze medal in the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Games.
You can read other quotes from the Sochi 2014 Winter Paralympic Games here.
Sometimes, taking the first step is the hardest thing to do. We haven't even started the task yet, but we already are feeling anxious. This usually leads to procrastination and we'll be unproductive. Most people who want to start their healthy lifestyle have lots of reasons for not taking that first step. They may feel intimidated by friends and people in the gym or group class. They might think they would injure themselves. They are not sure on how to exercise properly. But all of these fears are in our minds. We won't finish if we don't get started.
"All personal achievement starts in the mind of the individual.
Your personal achievement starts in your mind.
The first step may be the hardest, but you won't get something done unless you take it. Don't let your fears overwhelm you and keep you from reaching your goals. Fix your mind on your goals and be determined to achieve it.

Tomorrow night, join me in watching a brand new episode of Salvation: "Crimes and Punishment". Loyalties will be tested, rules will be broken, and there might be a slight chance that the world won't blow up! If you thought life was super rough for our main characters, while they were separated, you would be sorely mistaken.
Grace and Darius have a new relationship, but it's not one that any of us wanted. As Vice President, Darius must do whatever it takes to save the world from war and the asteroid. It's pretty hard to be thinking about romantic relationships when you basically have the weight of the world on your shoulders. On top of everything, Darius seems to know that Grace and Harris are hiding something. He will get the truth out of them, eventually. But, how long will Grace last on this emotional roller coaster? I'm not saying she's going to crack, but there's really only so far a person can go with death on their hands. She needs someone to help her!
Liam and Jillian are once again forced apart. Jillian has uncovered something very interesting: Joe was not really Joe. I knew there was something fishy about his death! Now, who the hell was this guy and why was he on the ARK? Under an alias no less. Jillian will figure it out, especially with Darius' help. Hopefully, it won't put her in harms way, though. And then, there's Liam. Liam has met a new lady friend and I feel like there may be some trouble in paradise soon. Especially, when we see them making out in the trailer. Come on, dude! Get yourself together. Honestly, all I can do is shake my head in major disappointment. What will happen next?
Salvation: "Crimes and Punishment", is going to be crazy! Tune in to CBS, Monday night at 10/9c (special time for tomorrow only!). Relationships are on the line and so is the survival for humanity. Don't miss a moment of it!
Loyalties are tested when Grace is asked to lie under oath. Also, Darius tasks Liam with a dangerous mission, and a shocking act of violence plunges the nation into chaos.

The FELIX facility in Nijmegen, the Netherlands is based on a suite of free electron lasers (FELs) that generate high-intensity, ultrashort pulses of widely tuneable radiation. The specification of the FELIX FEL radiation is given below in the table. The facility has numerous end-stations covering a wide array of scientific experiments as well a space for user-provided kit to be installed. The FEL light properties can be altered and optimised to match individual experiments and the facility operates in a reliable and professional manner, providing strong hands-on user support. EPSRC supports the use of the facility by UK scientists via a National Research Facility grant and supports new users of the facility via the FLUENCE grant.
Catalysis has been identified as one of the potential areas where new activity on FELIX might flourish. FLUENCE is investigating the potential of, and need for, a UHV Catalysis end-station. FLUENCE would like to identify scientists who might benefit from such a facility.

I decided to change my work routine a couple of weeks ago. I no longer stay up until I can no longer keep my eyelids open. Instead I wake up early to work. So far it seems to be working for me. But I still feel like I need more time. That has been the biggest drawback of not having an office where I can work quietly and efficiently. It's not fair to my son to see his mom tapping away on the her laptop or zipping around the house cutting and printing and packaging. I choose to work only when he is sleeping and when he is on a play date with his cousins. Still, it's just not enough time. This is something I didn't plan for when I left my old job. Am I complaining? No, it's just my reality and somewhat of a good problem.
I often refer to what I do for pay as "hustling". Gotta make that paper booboo although the work I do know doesn't nearly bring home the income I use to make. Don't get it twisted...I'm not rolling in the dough here. So what exactly do I do you ask? Well, I'm photographer for one. I average 2-3 sessions per month which doesn't seem like a lot but when you factor in editing time with the other work I do, it gets overwhelming especially when there's a couple hundred photos to look through in addition to my own personal photography.
I screen print. I design rubber stamps for my personal shop that also houses said screen prints. I scrapbook, still designing for Studio Calico + Paislee Press. I also do other work for Studio Calico including some design and coordinating the digital shop. I started doing product photography for Studio Calico. I do random design jobs locally. Invites, business cards, etc. I'm collaborating with friend on a new shop. Hopefully I'll be able to give some detail on that soon.
I try to blog. I thought I could turn this into a daily type blog full of inspiration and tutorials. Yeah, obvi that's sort of a fail which leads me to this post by Note To Self. ( I stumbled upon this through Pugly Pixel) Great post, especially if you're like me and feel as though you've gotten lost in your blog and the blogging world as a whole. Not going to lie. I get a wee bit jealous when I read various blogs and see how well designed they are and all the constant updates. That's why I don't actually read blogs that often. I hate that feeling. Plus it takes time away from what I should be doing. On the flip side of the jealousy is the motivation and inspiration. I don't want to make this to be a negative thing. I often feel rejuvenated when I read a blog I enjoy.
But what about my own blog and brand? It pisses me off that it's still half done and that I still don't have a permanent logo design. Other projects and work have taken precedence over my own personal projects and work. This is where I'm at a loss. I know I'm trying to do too much. My brand is scattered and lacks focus. This is a huge goal for me in the next year. As much as I would like to get this taken care of now, it's just not possible with the looming holidays and birthdays and everything else in between.
