Throughout the world, deaf people have developed visual language. The language used by deaf people in the United States is a blend of signs brought from France early in the 19th century. Some signs were already in use in this country. With no formal sign language in existence here at that time, home, local, and French signs blended together to become the American sign language, now considered to be one of the most refined and complete sign systems in the world. Although American Indians used signs for intertribal communication, this does not appear to have influenced the sign system that evolved among deaf persons.
Dr. Mason Cogsewell, was particularly interested in communicating with the deaf, since his own daughter, Alice, was deaf and had been taught on an experimental basis by a youth minister, Dr. Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, a graduate of Yale University.
As a result, Dr. Gallaudet was sent abroad to investigate methods then being used in England. In London, Dr. Gallaudet met Abbe Sicard, who invited him to cross the channel and visit his school, which had been founded in Paris in 1755 by the Abbe de L'Epee.
The Abbe, who is said to be the inventor of the French Sign Language, eventually published a volume describing both his sign system and his method of educating the deaf. After Dr. Gallaudet had spent several months studying educational methods as well as signs, he was ready to return to America. Accompanying him was a young deaf instructor from the French school, Laurent Clerc, who had proven most helpful and who agreed to assist in the new American School.
The first permanent school for the deaf was established in Hartford, Connecticut in 1817. Many hears later, after Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet had seen the establishment of a number of schools for the deaf people across the United States, he envisioned a college. This dream was passed on to his son, Edward Miner Gallaudet, who was responsible for establishing Gallaudet College, the first and only college for deaf students, located in Washington, The charter for the college was signed in 1864 by President Abraham Lincoln.
Finger spelling, the use of hand positions to represent the letters of the alphabet, is considered a vital and historical element of manual communication. The positions of the fingers of the hand do, to some extent, resemble the printed letters of the alphabet. Illustrations of the manual alphabet have been found to exist early in the Christian era. Latin Bibles of the 10th century show drawings of such hand positions and it is known that persons who lived in enforced silence, such as monks of the Middle Ages, used finger spelling as a means of communication. Most European countries used an alphabet that requires the use of two hands. Today, each country that has a manual alphabet uses its own version, which is therefore understood only by users of that particular system.
Signs usually represent ideas and not single words. Many signs are iconic, that is, they use a visual image for signing the idea. Most clearly falling into this category are animals, for example, deer (the antlers), elephant (the trunk), donkey (the ears), and the goat (the beard and horns). Signs are also represented by actions, such as the following: milk, coffee, love, grow.
Other signs are arbitrary and although the originators may have reasons for forming or moving a sign in a particular way these reasons are unknown today. It is interesting to note that many of the older signs have remained as originally created even though the connection to the origin no longer exists. One example of this is the sign toast, represented by placing a fork into the bread in order to hold it over the flame although an attempt was made to change this to represent the use of an electric toaster, deaf signers continued to use the old form.
The sign for the deaf was originally made by pointing to the ear and the month, probably to match the now outdated terms '' deaf and dumb'' or deaf mute.'' Although a change has been made a point to the ear and signing closed, many deaf people continue to use the old sign.
The question is often asked whether sign language is universal. Although signs are used in many countries, each has developed its own system, which has been standardized to some extent within that country. In recent years an international sign language has been developed that crosses national barriers and permits communication between deaf persons of many countries. This language, sometimes called Gestuno, has been found useful for international events, such as conferences and Olympic Games for the Deaf.
Persons knowing the language of signs find they can cross the language barrier more easily using signs with a deaf person then using the spoken language with a hearing person. In educational circles the language of signs has now gained respectability and a number of colleges and universities offer credit courses. Several also accept proficiency in signs to fulfill the foreign language requirement. Sign language is viewed by some as a new art form and is used in performances by the National Theater of the deaf, a professional drama group, as a means of presenting deaf people and their language to hearing the world. Also being introduced is signed interpretation of music, a beautiful and expressive means of portraying the lyrics, emotions and the rhythm of the songs.
Both deaf and hearing people are enjoying new experiences through communication in the language of signs, making it possible for them to live together with better understanding and mutual enrichment. Any family with a hearing impaired child that is learning to sign appreciates our ten-DVD Sign Language course, so that all members of the family can learn to communicate with the child.

Бельковичи ( транслит: Bieĺkavičy, бел: Белькавічы) — деревня в Пуховичском районе Минской области. Входит в состав Новопольского сельсовета. Расположен в 38,5 км к северо-западу от Марьиной Горки, в 31,5 км от Минска, в 12 км от железнодорожной станции Руденск на линии Минск — Осиповичи, у реки Птичь (приток Припяти ).

История
На другом берегу реки Птичи находится деревня Гребень, древняя Гребня. Здесь проходил известный тракт из Минска в Украину, существовал паром или переправа, а позже укреплён мост. На мосту взималась пошлина по документу великого князя Владислава Вазы, изданной в 1633 году. В Минском повете Минского воеводства Великого княжества Литовского.

После Второго раздела Речи Посполитой в 1793 году вошла в состав Российской империи. В конце XVIII века деревня в Игуменском уезде Минской губернии Российской империи, дворянское владение. В 1816 году собственность Осовских. В 1870 году деревня Дудичского волости Игуменского уезда. В 1888 году была открыта школа грамоты, в которой в 1890 году учились 5 мальчиков и 2 девочки.

Во время Первой мировой войны, в феврале—декабре 1918 года была под оккупацией войск Германской империи.

25 марта 1918 года согласно Третьей Уставной грамоте деревня объявлено частью Белорусской Народной Республики. С 1 января 1919 года в соответствии с постановлением I съезда КП(б) Белоруссии вошла в состав Белорусской ССР. В августе 1919—июле 1920 года деревня была под оккупацией Польши.

В начале 1930-х годов создан колхоз.

Во время Великой Отечественной войны, с конца июня 1941 года по 4 июля 1944 года оккупирована нацистской Германией. В районе деревни действовала советская партизанская бригада «Беларусь». В июне 1943 года деревня была сожжена и убиты 6 её жителей.

После войны деревня была восстановлена.

The Rack Endgame: Open Compute Project
September 17, 2014 By Stephen Leave a Comment
On reading my thoughts about the evolution of enterprise storage, culminating in what I called "The Rack Endgame" where a rack of storage, networking, and compute becomes a the basic entity of the datacenter, many pointed out that this looks an awful lot like the Facebook-led Open Compute Project (OCP). This is entirely intentional. But OCP is simply one expression of this new architecture, and perhaps not the best one for the enterprise.
The Open Compute Project has developed a standard for "Endgame" rack infrastructure
Hyperscale Versus Enterprise
Years ago, companies like Facebook, Yahoo, and Google discovered that conventional IT infrastructure just won't cut it for their hyperscale data centers. What makes sense for even a large number of heterogeneous servers is entirely illogical for a massive, homogenous, software-defined cloud. So they set about creating a new kind of infrastructure that matched their needs and pared away the rest.
Hyperscale environments must shift as much intelligence as possible to free-to-use software, ruthlessly eliminating proprietary hardware. This is due to a simple economic fact: Scaling licensed or proprietary hardware costs serious money, while scaling license-free software on commodity hardware is much cheaper. The only way to be competitive in the cloud is to eliminate the IT infrastructure tax.
Another issue with conventional enterprise IT gear is that it was never designed for serious scale. "Scalable" solutions for the business typically use shared-memory clusters and can grow only by a factor of 10 or so. True hyperscale solutions reach thousands of nodes thanks to shared-nothing "sharded" architecture and software-defined integration.
The Open Compute Project Rack
Facebook and the rest of the Internet gang have spent the last decade driving this software-centric architecture, and this culminated last year with the introduction of the Open Compute Project (OCP).
First, they abandoned proprietary hardware (blade servers, storage arrays, and core switches) in favor of simplified alternatives. The mainstream vendors played along, introducing hyperscale servers that often looked like blades but were entirely different, typically with passive backplanes and no management hardware. Thus were born the Dell C5000, HP SL, and IBM iDataPlex. Although the margin on these servers was much lower, the volume of sales more than made up the difference.
But Facebook and friends kept pushing. They began exploring "white-box" servers, with SuperMicro stealing the spotlight if not the sales. The same was happening with networking, as OpenFlow and SDN opening the doors to new vendors, including some no-name alternatives. Storage, too, moved internal, leaving Fusion-io's PCIe cards as the only big-budget name brand in hyperscale storage.
Open Compute was the next logical shift. Facebook and company invited hardware vendors like Intel and AMD to create a new simplified hyperscale server based around the "Group Hug" interconnect. These tiny servers fit in standard racks and used PCIe as their common I/O channel. This project has been moving forward over the last year, with many companies jumping onboard.
OCP OpenVault is a standard storage server
The endgame is a "Disaggregated Rack" where server components are dispersed within a rack, with Intel's 100 GbE silicon photonics (SiPho) serving as the high-speed, low-latency interconnect. This rack would include a simple bulk storage server as "bottom of rack" capacity as well as a flash-based server for "top of rack" performance. This technology isn't ready for production yet, but parts are becoming available and development is proceeding.
OCP Rack Versus Cisco UCS
All this may sound an awful lot like what I believe Cisco is building, but the similarities are somewhat superficial. Cisco UCS is a highly-integrated and tightly-managed enterprise product, while OCP Rack will be much simpler, relying on software for integration. Although there is some crossover between enterprise and hyperscale applications (name-drop Hadoop and Docker at your next business meeting!), this won't go too far.
Read more about Cisco's Trojan Horse
Consider Cisco's new M-Series modular UCS servers. These are said to have been designed for hyperscale workloads but they don't look much like Group Hug. M-Series uses a proprietary ASIC to aggregate servers on cartridges and share I/O resources. Like Group Hug, M-Series uses PCIe as the sole I/O protocol (a major departure for Ethernet-loving Cisco), but UCS is neither open nor really software-defined. M-Series relies on proprietary management for every function and is really designed to fit into an existing UCS environment, not an open cloud.
Cisco's "Cruz" ASIC disaggregates I/O for M-Series cartridges
The same is true of Cisco's Invicta flash appliance. It may look a bit like "Project Dragon", Facebook's Fusion-io-powered all-flash server, but Invicta will be as proprietary and enterprise-ready as anything from EMC and the rest of the enterprise storage old-guard.
In short, UCS is the kind of hyperscale that enterprises want and not at all what a software-driven cloud provider would be interested in. It's very smart of Cisco to focus on enterprise needs rather than madly running off the cloud-shrouded cliff with an OCP clone.
Open Compute Project (OCP) is developing their own "Rack Endgame" solution, disaggregating conventional servers into rack-scale complexes interconnected by PCIe and driven by software. But these don't really fit with the needs of the enterprise datacenter, which is much more interested in support and integration than acquisition costs and openness. They're next-generation cousins rather than twins.

I won't be found by scowling wrists of time.
The pseudonym of reality will cease to interfere.
With my polystyrene overflowing words.
But like sure cement on bricks, we grip the walls.
Shielded only by the ragged remainders of an innocent child.
But I lost it like the slinking thoughts that come to mind.
Has a twist, a snaking contortion in sweaty hand-covered voices.
But never would I descend for fear of savages.
Miming lost escapism in a rusted metal sea.
One day I fell in love with a dog.
And wonder really if they were the work of Satan.
How I miss the bittersweet death of simplicity.
For the life of me I cannot remember I cannot.
But less the more so.
And sliding fingers on ravaged skin.
So still it was almost necrophilia.
Do you miss the time I forced your chin up to the stars?
We're all going to join the army.
Working its gleeful way under these floors.
To keep our claustrophobia at bay.
I venture where my mother told me to stay away.
And scraping our young knees we chase them fast.
So my nightmares lived in mouse-holes instead.
And I slept soundly in my bed.
Stale gravestones in a translucent reflection.
I watch others' faces behind my commercial mask.
When I walked along the garden wall in bare feet.

The new approach of integrated nematode control has driven to look for other alternatives that consider steadily and sustainable the environment. The aim of the present study was to obtain different ethanolic fracctions from Artemisia cina plant, using artemisinins, and to evaluate the nematicide association capacity effect with infective larvae (L3) and abomasal explant. The artemisinins from A. cina were obtained by thin layer chromatography and were evaluated on unsheathed L3 of Haemonchus contortus. The abomasal technique explants were performed for triplicate and compared as follows: three control with levamisole (7.5 mg/ml), commercial artemisinin (1 mg/ml), and distillate water, and six A. cina fracctions at 1 mg/ml each one: Ac3k, Ac3b, Ac3a, Ac3h, Ac3i and Ac4b. No significant differences between fractions of A. cina and commercial artemisinin (p>0.05) were obtained. These findings led us to conclude that there was no association capacity effect of fractions of A. cina on unsheathed L3 of H. contortus, to the abomasal tissue. It is important to continue with more studies to determine the parasitic phase in which the artemisinin viability is susceptible to be affected.

2021 Yamaha Tracer 9 and 9 GT Revealed
Bike NewsTracerYamaha
By Shalender Kumar Published On Nov 23, 2020
Stepping on its efforts in the sport-touring segment, Yamaha has now revealed the new version of Tracer 9. The 9 and the 9 GT. The 2021 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT comes equipped with an engine upgrade and a host of electronic features that makes this biker a serious contender in the segment dominated by the Kawasaki.
Powering the new version is the bigger 3-cylinder, 890 cc engine that is capable of putting out 115bhp and 93Nm of raw performance. Besides capacity, Yamaha has also made considerable changes to fuel intake and delivery mechanisms of the engine. Accordingly, changes in the gear ratios have also been implemented to align the revised performance with real-world delivery. There is a total of four riding modes to choose from and for further convenience, the upgraded version now features assist and slipper clutch. In addition to changes in the engine which is now Euro-5 compliant, Yamaha has also used a new aluminium frame and swingarm design for improvements in weight reduction and cornering stability respectively.
Among the prominent changes in the electronic system, the 2021 Tracer 9 GT features a 6-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) to keep the rider safe under constantly changing dynamics of racing conditions. The unit collects and sends data to the lift control, braking system, and traction control while providing inputs to changes in the KYB's electronic suspension system used in the bike. Based on the feedback, the various parameters like compression damping and rebound damping of the suspension system can be adjusted for better riding dynamics. Further, the rider has the option to choose from either Sport (A-1) or Comfort (A-2) suspension settings and similarly, there are two settings for the ABS system.
The looks of the upgraded model are defined by a tall aerodynamic fairing and LED headlamp and cornering lamps. The bike features twin 3.5-inch TFT displays, cruise control, heated grips, and an adjustable windscreen, footpegs, and a handlebar. In the international market, the 2021 Tracer 9 GT is priced at $14,899 (equivalent to Rs 11.06 lakh), and compared to the outgoing model, the new version is costlier by $1900 (equivalent to Rs 1.41 lakh). For now, Yamaha has no plans to bring this model to our Indian shores.

We investigated the nature of sensory integration deficits in postural control of young adults with ASD. Postural control was assessed in a fixed environment, and in three environments in which sensory information about body sway from visual, proprioceptive or both channels was inaccurate. Furthermore, two levels of inaccurate information were used within each channel (gain 1 and 1.6). ASD participants showed greater postural sway when information from both channels was inaccurate. In addition, control participants' ellipse area at gain 1.6 was identical to ASD participants' at gain 1, reflecting hyper-reactivity in ASD. Our results provide evidence for hyper-reactivity in posture-related sensory information, which reflects a general, rather than channel-specific sensory integration impairment in ASD.

SmartDock for Xperia P cancelled?
We don't like to be the bearer of bad news, but there is mounting evidence suggesting that the SmartDock destined for the Sony Xperia P has been shelved. The docking station included a HDMI and two USB ports that would have been used to connect an Xperia P to a TV or a keyboard/mouse to the phone.
The listing for the Xperia P SmartDock has disappeared across all Sony Mobile language websites (a UK cache listing remains here). In addition to this, one user over at the Sony Mobile Talk forums reproduced some text with an online chat representative who had said the SmartDock had been cancelled. This would be a shame if true. We have asked Sony Mobile for a comment on this story but have not heard anything back so far. We'll update this post if we have any confirmation one way or the other.


Here's that phrase again: Stop Being Dead. It takes on so many different tones, and purposes. But this idea of it being repeating reminds us of the battle of preaching to your heart. It isn't as easy as just being "born again". Well, theologically, yes, Christ saves you in a moment. He wakes you up to life but in another sense we need to tell our flesh every day to stop being dead. Stop going back to the pig slop. It reminds us of a delinquent writing on a chalk board. Tell your heart to shut up. Stop being dead. You aren't dead, so stop being dead.

Last Day At Lambeau
No Comments on Last Day At Lambeau
And I thought Wisconsin's long, state-wide nightmare was over.
A new documentary called Last Day At Lambeau, which chronicles the Brett Favre "retirement" saga of 2008, is set to be released in Madison next week and is sure to re-trigger some dormant emotions among Packers fans about the Ol' Gunslinger himself. I haven't see the film yet, but as I watched the above clip on the film's website my first reaction was to laugh. Seeing footage of Cheeseheads rallying behind the bearded Mississippian, crying "Bring Brett Back!" as they picketed Lambeau Field, made me realize how silly that whole melodrama was at the time and how foolish it is in retrospect.
Tony Mars, the cofounder of SaveBrett.net, talks in the clip about a petition effort he spearheaded in an attempt to convince Packers brass to keep Favre. "Despite how much press coverage the effort got," he says, "never at any point did the Packers organization acknowledge us in a formal way. And you would think that an organization would want to hear from its fans. That was one of the most disappointing things to me as a Packers fan."
Let me say this: never at any point in my life do I want a professional sports organization – let alone the Packers, a team I adore and own fake stock in – to consult me about business decisions. I have enough self-awareness to know that I know nothing about how to run a successful football team, so to think that these Packers fans expected to be consulted by the team before making a decision about what to do with Favre is preposterous to me.
Listen, I get it. I loved Favre too. There's proof of that on the Internet. I still stand by those words because they represented how I felt at the time. But you know that Super Bowl the Packers won in 2010, and the 15-1 team and league MVP they had in 2011? If the rabid Cheeseheads of '08 got their way, say goodbye to all that. Ted Thompson, Mike McCarthy, and Mike Murphy were smart enough then, in the midst of a tumultuous offseason, to make a very tough but very smart decision.
I don't buy the argument that Thompson & Co. should have let Favre come back after retiring just because of what Favre had done for the organization. Indeed, he did a great many things that I got to witness first-hand, but he retired. He made that decision, not Ted Thompson. The organization decided to move on and invest in its future with Aaron Rodgers, which I'm sure many of the fans who picketed Lambeau and booed Rodgers at training camp are pretty OK with now.
As I haven't seen the full film yet, I won't make any grand judgments about it. As a lover of all things Packers, I'm excited to see an in-depth look at the organization's defining moment. But if it's ninety minutes of pointless pontificating and Packers fans bellyaching in news clips about trading away The Legend, then count me out.
Enough ranting about Brett. Time to watch some Aaron Rodgers highlights.

Who is Liable in a Driverless Car Crash?
Science fiction has been predicting the technology for years, but now it is (almost) here: cars that drive themselves.
Over the past few years, Google has had tremendous success in the initial trials of their automated car (even testing their fleet of driver-less Priuses on public roads). The cars have operated themselves for hundreds of thousands of miles on mountainous roads and in busy city traffic with minimal intervention by humans. The vehicles use a complex system of sensors, like radar and cameras that can "read" traffic signals, that collect information about the car's environment as well as the car itself. Combining this with GPS, Google's trusted mapping system, and wheel encoding for tracking the precise movements of the vehicle, has resulted in a driver-less car with virtually no roadway incidents.
There are a lot of reasons to be excited that your car will one day drive itself: long commutes could be made productive (or fun), traffic will move more efficiently, and there will be fewer accidents (around 90% of crashes are caused by human error). But, before we get too excited about living in the future, there will be a lot of legal precedents to be set, and a lot of tricky issues to be resolved between courts, insurance companies, and the firms that program your ride. Most pressing, perhaps: who is liable when a driver-less car inevitably crashes?
The issue is more delicate than it may seem. A single lawsuit could devastate a smaller technological firm, thus stifling research advancement and scaring smaller startups overseas. However, if consumers are hurt by a new product, they must be fairly compensated. Is there a way to address both of these conflicting issues?
A similar situation was seen in the 1980s when new vaccinations were being introduced in the market. After a series of lawsuits, many vaccine manufacturers went out of business, or withdrew from the industry for fear of legal liability. Recognizing the need for medical advancement, Congress introduced a small tax on vaccines that would set aside funds and enable those injured or negatively affected by vaccines to take action.
The driverless car industry is still new, and an agreement has yet to be reached. A bill has been introduced in Arizona that would cover driver-less cars, but the insurance industry did not seem satisfied that the central question had been answered: who is responsible when your automated car crashes? The day is quickly approaching when we must answer this question.

I recently went on a private cruise through Croatia with Robert Bauval and Graham Hancock organized by Bianca Childs' Bridging Heaven & Earth. In a both beautiful and intimate setting together with an international group of fascinating people. We were able to watch presentations by these two world-famous authors close-up and had numerous opportunities to engage them in long discussion. I cannot think of a better way to experience them than in this way while I made some new and dear friends. Thank you Bianca for putting this together. It was forgettable.

Program with community volunteers promising in reducing health-care use by older adults
6-May-2019 12:05 PM EDT, by McMaster University
Newswise — Hamilton, ON (May 6, 2019) Incorporating community volunteers into the health-care system shows promise in reducing health-care usage by older adults through a shift from hospitals to primary care, according to research from McMaster University.
Results of the Health TAPESTRY (Health Teams Advancing Patient Experience: Strengthening Quality) project were published today in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ).
"We found that older adults who took part in the Health TAPESTRY program changed the way in which they used health-care services," said Lisa Dolovich, lead author and professor in the Department of Family Medicine at McMaster. "Encouragingly, participants had more visits to primary care with fewer emergency department and hospital admissions compared to those not in the program."
Health TAPESTRY is a community-based program anchored in primary care where trained volunteers visit older adults in their home. Volunteers use technology to gather information on their goals, needs, and risks, and a summary is sent to interprofessional primary care teams to plan patient care. The program combines new elements like technology with the current health system to support optimal aging in adults aged 70 years or older.
While results from the randomized controlled trial did not affect the primary goal of the study, which was to help older adults to reach their health goals, there were other positive effects experienced by the intervention group compared to the control group.
For example, there was an increase of 81 minutes of weekly walking time in the intervention group compared with a 120-minute decrease in the control group, and the intervention group reported higher overall levels of physical activity. The volunteers gave primary health-care teams information that the health providers might not have otherwise known.
David Price, co-author, and professor and chair of the Department of Family Medicine, said: "These findings suggest that Health TAPESTRY has the potential to improve the way primary care is delivered in Canada by shifting care of individuals away from hospitals to the community and to a more proactive and preventative team-based model of care."

Carlo Ludovico Poccianti was born in Florence, the incredible history and architectural beauty of which would later influence his decision to study architecture. After completing his professional qualification, he set up Archflorence in 1997 together with Francesca Garagnani and Carlo de Pinto, with whom he shares a passion for the art of design and construction.
Carlo Ludovico begins each project with a detailed analysis of his client's instructions and, together with the client, discusses the key issues, time scale and relative costs of the project. He then focuses on the layout itself, and how to structure each space to best advantage.
Carlo Ludovico works with trusted craftspeople, suppliers and firms throughout each project. These collaborations allow him to manage every phase of the project through to its completion.
When in need of fresh ideas, he seeks the wind, be it from the seat of his motorbike or under the sails of his boat.
Francesca Garagnani was born in Bologna, city famous for its colonnades and towers. After a period abroad, during which she acquired a taste for the world of interior design, she moved to Florence to study architecture.
Francesca got to know Carlo Ludovico and, as partners both in work and life, they set up Archflorence, where their professional work ranges from architecture to interior design.
Francesca is always on the look-out for interiors to transform, reorganise and personalise. She takes great care to satisfy her clients' demands and also to reveal the hidden potential of each living space. Francesca is head of the interior design team.
Carlo de Pinto was born in Andria, Puglia and moved to Florence when he finished his schooling. In Florence he studied architecture and completed his professional qualification.
Carlo worked in various different studios, developing his creativity and practical expertise until 1997, when he set up Archflorence together with Carlo Ludovico Poccianti and Francesca Garagnani.
Carlo is in charge of the preliminary and planning stage of architectural projects, as well as cost control and works supervision. His attention to detail is rigorous: he assesses size, access routes and furnishings so that they all make sense and work within the relevant living space.


It can be tempting, especially when you are first starting out, to take on every client that comes your way. However, not every opportunity will benefit your business equally, and sometimes it can be better to walk away. Find out when and how you should say no to new business.
If you aren't confident in your ability to dedicate enough time and effort to a job, it may be better to simply say, 'Yes, but not at this point in time'. Expressing your interest while being honest about your workload will avoid damaging your reputation when it turns out you can't deliver.
If a prospective client has asked you to undertake a task that you don't currently have the skill set for, it might be best to refer them to a peer. In cases like this, it's often better to admit you're out of your depth than to take it on and disappoint.
If a prospective client is unable to properly express their wants and needs, you may be better off not taking the job. If they don't have a clear idea, then chances are neither can you. This can quickly lead to miscommunication and can cause major difficulties in the development and execution phase of the project.
If the client is requesting something you feel uncomfortable doing, or that may be in breach of any laws, it's probably safer to stay away. In these situations, you can usually trust your gut feeling. In any case, you should avoid getting into partnerships with clients who could harm your reputation or integrity.
If a client requests an immense discount, suggests an evasive payment plan or upfront services, it could raise a red flag. Make it clear how much you and your other clients value your business and work. If they can't afford your services, you shouldn't feel obliged to take on their work.
A tactful no can reaffirm your reputation as much as signing a new client. That's why it's important to do it the right way. You don't want to appear harsh or hesitant. Remember to be polite and respectful and clearly explain why you are turning them down. If possible, suggest alternatives or refer them to your peers.

Student Leadership at Central Vermont Career Center
Lindsey Halman
Youth and adults at the Central Vermont Career Center (CVCC) have been working together to build a more connected community, as well as to bring more student voice to decision making and learning. CVCC is located on the same campus as Spaulding High School in Barre, and students come from all over the central Vermont area to take classes in automotive technology, digital media arts, natural resources and sustainability, emergency services, cosmetology, baking and culinary arts, plumbing and heating, and medical professions.
Since students come from several different towns, and attend different programs, many youth and instructors expressed that the community can feel somewhat disconnected, and the Youth and Adults Transforming Schools Together (YATST) team has been working on addressing this concern. The group has also explored the "Four Rs" of 21st century education: relationships, rigor, relevance, and shared responsibility, and how these play out in the experiences of youth and adults at CVCC. The team developed a survey, collected data, and selected three areas in which they want to partner together with the staff at the career center to make positive change: classroom management, empowering youth to have a voice in decision-making, and helping to address students' fears of failure.
Their next meeting will take place in May, when the team will dig deeper into their concerns and hopes, and brainstorm and identify action plans that they would like to explore. Harry Frank, UP Program Director notes the "caring and candid" spirit of the students and staff, and how many of them have said that they want their peers at CVCC to feel cared about and validated. Terrific work, CVCC youth and adult team!

Spring is finally here and JCPenney spring fashion finds are in full bloom. I have teamed up with the iconic department store to ring in this new season with a refreshed wardrobe of bright colors and pretty prints.
There are so many new arrivals with great styles at great values, making it easy to discover items to love. They also have all the apparel and accessories must-haves for the new Spring season — and right in time for Easter.
Speaking of Easter, my paternal Great Grandmother Frances would buy all of my Easter dresses from JCPenney in my youth. It was an annual tradition for the two of us, and I loved shopping with her at her favorite department store. My maternal Grandmother Mary would take me and my youngest Aunt Lisa to the store for all of our back to school clothes. It was at JCPenney that I discovered what a 6x slim was. LOL! Yes, I used to be pretty skinny.
As you can see, Spring for me is pretty synonymous with JCP. And this JCPenney spring fashion look embodies the season with perfection. How season appropriate is this look? The brightly colored top pairs so well with the white flared cropped jeans. The shoes are from JCPenney as well. They are cute and comfortable too — top priorities for all my footwear.
Get this entire look (except the handbag and my Petey) #AllAtJCP. But hurry as they will sell out quickly, so get them before they're gone.
*This post was sponsored by JCPenney. All opinions are my own.
I love the entire look. It's springy and refreshing. I never would've picked the blouse for me, but it looks great with the white capris. Nice.
I love this outfit! Refreshing Spring look!
Love the entire look. I checked out the JCP site for different colors of the blouse. I think this one is trendy and stylish. Nice look.
Thank you for writing this blog! When I saw the beautiful top you had on I wanted to know where I could see more. I actually like your entire look. I was pleasantly surprised this is JC Penny. It looks like I will be shopping online or in-store soon.
I was in JC Penney at Aventura Mall over spring break and picked up the perfect yellow dress for Bird. They had a great selection and the sales were right on time! I wish there were one closer to me in Charlotte because they used to be my go to when I needed a dress in Tallahassee.
Great outfit! I love the fit of the blouse! I think this will look great on me. I am looking to brighten up my wardrobe. I'll have to check out J.C. Penney again real soon.
I have found a few nice casual outfits from JC Penney but nothing as fun as the outfit that you have on fir summer. I am really going to take my time to search through the racks or better yet take you with shopping the next time.
Love the entire outfit. So springy……the top is definitely my style and colors. I checked online and the shoes are also available in denim. Penney's here I come! Thanks for sharing this look. Please share more!
Love the spring look. Great colors and gives the impression that fun is the goal. Didn't know JC Penney offered such apparel. Will definitely check them out.
I love this look on you. JCP has a lot of great clothes.
I am feeling the entire look. JCP hit the mark with the top! I will definitely look for it on my next trip. It will be a great way to increase my JCP rewards.
Love this look on you NikkiFree! I've always loved Penney's (yes! I'm on a nickname basis with them I shop so much there!) Thanks for sharing this on your blog. I love it!


Cosplay, fantasy and photographing it has become huge over the last decade or so. At comic cons around the world, people show up as their favourite video game, TV and movie characters. And every year they just get better and better, closer the originals that inspire their creation. In the last few years, developments in technology and electronics have allowed some to take it up to the next level.
This particular suit of "Sovereign" armour from Melissa Ng at Lumecluster is a perfect example. Combining 3D design, 3D printing, electronics, and a lot of skill and ingenuity it took 518 hours to create. And that doesn't include the time that the 3D printer was making parts.

e weather may be going towards fall but it's not that easy for families to transition from holiday mood to weekday mood. Particularly not when you have children - suddenly you're supposed to go from lazily hanging around the house with your friends to a structured and rigid routine.
It may be nice to get back to school and see all those friends again, but settling into a proper routine is a whole other story.
Luckily, there are a few way to make the whole ordeal a bit easier for families. Start by making use of the handy tips below, and you might actually find yourself with energized and awake school children around the breakfast table.
What a lot of parents do wrong is that they don't understand just how important it is to start early. When school is due to start in half a week, it's already a bit late to ease them into going to bed earlier and waking up at the crack of dawn - they need to do this gradually.
By spending the last half of your holiday month on saying goodnight a little bit earlier than the day before, they'll hardly notice that their routines are shifting. By the time they have to wake up for school for real, they'll be much more rested than if they slept until 10 the day before.
Starting gradually is the key to easing your kids into a steady school routine so don't skimp on this one.
Every parent knows just how dreadful it can be to make kids go to bed. Some may be easier to convince than others, but they all have their tantrums - and you don't want to deal with this the night before school starts.
By emphasising a calm bedtime routine, you need to follow through with this for yourself as well. Make sure that the lights are dimmed and that the mood is quiet before you're off to bed. Start to do this as soon as dinner is over and you might find that they're quite sleepy by the time you tell them to go to bed.
Another way to motivate them to get into their routine is to make them a bit excited about going back to school. Most children look forward to seeing their classmates and teachers again so this shouldn't be too hard to do; just shop for some fun school stationery, get them a new backpack for the school year, and talk about the interesting subjects they're going to have.
They will only be excited about school for a few more years, in any way, so you might as well take advantage of this in order to make them settle into their weekday routine.

FDA Issues warning letter to JFD Enterprises Inc.
Source: www.fda.gov
CMS#76554
RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
Mr. Santos A. Sanchez, Owner
JFD Enterprises Inc. t/a Antonio's Bakery
Dear Mr. Sanchez:
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) conducted an inspection of your bakery, located at 6210 Eastern Avenue, Baltimore, Maryland on July 15-17,21 and August 4, 2009. During the inspection, FDA investigators documented serious violations of the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) regulations for foods, Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 110 (21 CFR 110). These violations cause the food products produced in your facility to be adulterated within the meaning of Section 402(a)(4) [21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(4)] of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), in that they have been prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby they may have become contaminated with filth or rendered injurious to health. Additionally, our review of other evidence collected during the inspection has determined that your products are misbranded within the meaning of section 403 of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 343]. Regulations implementing the food labeling requirements of the Act are found in 21 CFR Part 101. You can find the Act and the FDA regulations through links in FDA's homepage at www.fda.gov.
Violations of Current Good Manufacturing Practice Regulations
1. As required by 21 CFR 110.35(c), no pests shall be allowed in any area of a food plant. Effective measures must be taken to exclude pests from the processing areas and to protect against the contamination of food on the premises by pests. However, our investigators observed the following evidence of a lack of pest control during the inspection:
a. Live cockroaches were observed crawling throughout the facility including:
i. On the rolling racks used to transport uncooked bread dough from the proofer to the oven; and,
ii.. In the front area of your facility where the finished bread, buns and rolls are packaged and stored.
b. Live insects were found in opened containers of raw ingredients used in the manufacture and processing of bread, buns and rolls including:
i. In a large opened bag of poppy seeds;
ii. In a bin of sesame seeds;
iii. In a container of dough conditioning material; and,
iv. In a container of shortening.
c. Dead insects were observed throughout the facility including:
i. A dead cockroach inside of a mixing bowl;
ii. A dead cockroach underneath the 3-compartment sink in the cleaning room;
iii. 20 small dead insects in cornmeal that had spilled onto the floor in the oven room.
d. A live mouse was observed in a mouse trap in the oven room.
e. Open doors and unscreened open windows offering easy entry to pests into your bakery. Further, as required by 21 CFR 110.20(b)(7), you must provide adequate screening or other protection against pests.
2. As required by 21 CFR 110.20(b)(1), you must provide sufficient space for such placement of equipment and storage of materials as is necessary for the maintenance of sanitary operations and the production of safe food. However, our investigators observed the following during the inspection:
a. Unused manufacturing equipment and supplies stored throughout the facility, including in the food processing area and the oven room;
b. The floor area between the oven and adjacent wall contained trash and debris; and,
c. The storage of uncovered trash cans directly underneath equipment used in the manufacturing and processing of raw dough.
3. As required by 21 CFR 110.80(a)(7), you must hold all liquid or dry raw materials and other ingredients received and stored in bulk form in a manner that protects against contamination.
However, our investigators observed the following during the inspection:
a. An opened bag of flour was stored on a table in the processing room. This bag was stored directly on top of unopened bags of flour;
b. An open pan containing a white powder was stored underneath a table in the processing room;
c. An uncovered bowl of whipped cream was stored on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator; and,
d. An opened and uncovered stick of butter was stored directly on a shelf in the refrigerator.
4. As required by 21 CFR 110.80(b)(1), you must maintain all equipment, utensils, and finished food containers in an acceptable condition through appropriate cleaning and sanitizing, as necessary. However, our investigators observed the following during the inspection:
a. An accumulation of dirt and other debris on the top of the compressor; and,
b. An accumulation of dried dough residue and flour on the underside of the spiral mixer used by the firm.
In addition, as required by 21 CFR 110.35(d), you must clean all food-contact surfaces, including utensils and food-contact surfaces of equipment, as frequently as necessary to protect against the contamination of food. However, our investigators observed the following during the inspection:
a. An accumulation of dried dough and flour on the metal scoop used to measure out raw ingredients;
b. An accumulation of dried dough and flour on the inside of the plastic bin used to mix dough; and,
c. An accumulation of old dough residue on the interior of the divider and on the interior of the metal compartments in the compressor.
5. As required by 21 CFR 110.40(a), all equipment and utensils must be so designed and of such material and workmanship as to be adequately cleanable, and shall be properly maintained. The design, construction, and use of equipment and utensils must preclude the adulteration of food with any contaminants. However, our investigators observed the following during the inspection:
a. The wooden workbench used to roll out dough was observed to have cracks, gouges and holes. Moreover, several of the cracks and holes contained old dough and other unidentified debris.
Labeling Violations
1. Your bakery products sold to individual customers are misbranded within the meaning of section 403(w)(1) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 343(w)(1)] in that their labels fail to declare all major food allergens present in the products.
Section 201(qq) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 321(qq)] defines as "major food allergens" milk, egg, fish, Crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, wheat, peanuts, and soybeans, as well as any food ingredient containing proteins derived from one of these foods, with the exception of highly refined oils. A food is misbranded if it is not a raw agricultural commodity and it is, or it contains an ingredient that bears or contains, a major food allergen, unless either:
• The word "Contains," followed by the name of the food source from which the major food allergen is derived, is printed immediately after or adjacent to the list of ingredients [section 403(w)(1)(A) of the Act; 21 U.S.C. § 343(w)(1)(A)], or
• The common or usual name of the major food allergen in the list of ingredients is followed in parentheses by the name of the food source from which the major food allergen is derived, except that the name of the food source is not required when either the common or usual name of the ingredient uses the name of the food source or the name of the food source appears elsewhere in the ingredient list (unless the name of the food source that appears elsewhere in the ingredient list appears as part of the name of an ingredient that is not a major food allergen) [section 403(w)(1)(8) of the Act; 21 U.S.C. § 343(w)(1)(8)].
Specifically, your dough is made with the raw material "high gluten flour," which is a wheat based flour, but your dough-based products fail to declare the presence of the major food allergen "wheat" on the label.

6.12.13 "Pray for an Open Door!"
And pray that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ….let your conversations be full of grace and seasoned with salt. I am so touched as I read these words tonight. For the last couple of years there have been 3 non-Christian friends that I have prayed for pretty regularly. Prayed that they would come to know Christ, and that I might be involved in that in some way. I spoke last month about some progress with one of them (Leo), and last night God answered another prayer.
So last night at dinner, my guarded Sarah, started sharing with me the pain of her childhood, and how all of that baggage manifests itself in her life now. She referenced being overcome with worry especially as it relates to those that she loves the most. At one point in the conversation she asked me, "how do you survive every day..loving your children so much, and being apart from them, and not knowing if they will be safe? If they will be taken from you?" I had been waiting a very long time for her to ask me a question like this. I very prayerfully answered, that my only peace is in knowing that God loves my children more than I do. That his plans are greater than mine, even if in my mind…his plans could devastate me. I told her that there was a time in my life where I realized that no matter how much I wanted to believe I was in control…the circumstances in my life convinced me otherwise.
For the first time, she was open to having this conversation. After I shared this with her, she told me about an experience she had several years ago, where both her niece and her sister were miraculously healed from illnesses that were diagnosed as fatal. She was crying when she told me the story of how some members of her family and a Baptist preacher had come together in a prayer circle to pray over them. I told her I believed there was enormous power in a group of people coming together in prayer. She told me that she actually felt it (the power) and was convinced that it was the reason that both her niece and sister were made well.
So how does all of this fit together with today's reading? Paul begins by telling us to devote ourselves in prayer, that God will open a door, and that we would be prepared to gracefully share the gospel with an outsider in a way that was full of love and seasoned with salt.
As I think about Sarah, I realize that God has been beckoning her for many years. The profound experience she had with the healings made the soil of her heart fertile. The pain in her life currently has sent her searching. God put the two of us together for dinner….and something beautiful happens.
I feel so honored that God shows me that I belong to him by allowing me to share his love with others. I also realize how important it is to pray for those who are far from God. Sometimes it takes a long time, but it is beyond exciting when the prayers start to be answered.
Thank you Father that even in my brokenness, you find me worthy to share your beautiful heart. I pray that you continue to draw Sarah to yourself, and that we as a church have the courage and heart to grow your Kingdom. I love you!!


All of you Gossip Girl fans should be excited for this one. Tinsley Mortimer, the Virginia born socialite who lived a very Blair Waldorf life up until recently, is writing a book called Southern Charm that chronicles a "small town Southern belle who leaves Charleston, South Carolina for New York with visions of skyscrapers and yellow cabs dancing in her head," reports WWD.
If you followed the Manhattan socialite gossip scene a few years ago (and you better believe I did), you know that Miss Mortimer was a pretty big deal. After marrying her high school sweetheart Topper Mortimer, Tinz settled into a life of champagne bubbles, Patrick McMullan photographs and borrowed couture outfits aplenty.
But after their divorce and a disastrous TV show (I'm looking at you, High Society), it's pretty much safe to say that Tins fell from grace. She's still on the scene every so often with her hot boyfriend Brian Mazza, but she's definitely distanced herself from the illustrious 10021 zip code.
This is good news for us, because I have no doubt the book will be chock full of thinly veiled digs and drama.Tinz famously feuded with fellow socialite and the girl who made Whitney Port's "life" hell on The City,Olivia Palermo, and chances are this "IT girl" war will make up a hefty portion of the novel.
The book is due out in May — which means I will be reading it on the beach with mimosa in hand.


Sunday, Dec. 15 - 12:30 p.m.
Toy drive by the Greek American Association from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. Sunday at Casa Bella Clubhouse, 6015 Anello Drive, Melbourne. Bring an unwrapped toy or gift certificate for a teen or preteen. Free brunch for those who donate.

Jim Scarantino — lawyer, pundit, investigator, political gadfly and now an opera singer — announced Wednesday that he's leaving his job as top dog at the New Mexico Watchdog website.
Scarantino informed his readers that he's off for a year of travel — including visiting World War I battlefields in Europe, where his grandfather fought as a 16-year old Sicilian solider.
He's also going to spend some time on the opera stage. "I am singing with Opera Southwest in its October performances of Rossini's 'The Italian Girl in Algiers' and hopefully next March in 'La Traviata,' " he wrote.
"I auditioned for the small men's chorus," Scarantino told me in a phone conversation Wednesday. "There's 12 men who play sailors, pirates, eunuchs. ... I've never done anything like this before."
He'll also be visiting Cuba. Scarantino, of course, isn't the only New Mexican to go there in recent months. "I'm going to check up on what Bill Richardson did while he was there," he joked.
The Watchdog website is a creature of the Rio Grande Foundation, a conservative "free-market" think tank.
Under Scarantino, Watchdog was relentless in raking the muck in the offices of Richardson and Lt. Gov. Diane Denish.
He's the one who first reported Denish had spent federal funds on hiring public relations staff and for Christmas cards. (Denish cried foul, saying the cards were paid for with campaign funds. A few days later, her campaign paid the expense — about $800 — of her public information officer writing news releases promoting activities related to 2004 presidential candidate John Kerry.)
Some days it seemed as if Watchdog was a one-man opposition-research team for the Republicans, who frequently trumpeted Scarantino's work.
Scarantino, though, says he's actually a registered Democrat. "Back in 2004, when I was backing John Kerry and saying that (Vice President Dick) Cheney should be impeached, liberals loved me," Scarantino said. "I was 'open-minded and fair.' But when Obama was elected and I started criticizing him, they said I was a crazy right-winger."
Taking the helm of the New Mexico Watchdog is Rob Nikolewski, who currently runs a news blog called Capitol Report New Mexico. It's also owned and published by the Rio Grande Foundation. Nikolewski, who works out of the press room in the Roundhouse, is a three-time Emmy Award winner for his work as a television sports reporter.
FactCheck.org strikes again: They must love New Mexico over at FactCheck.org, the nonpartisan website, funded by the Annenburg Public Policy Center, that analyzes political ads from around the country.
FactCheck in recent months has scolded both Republican Susana Martinez and Democrat Diane Denish for various attack ads. In the latest exciting episode, an article by Joshua Goldman and Melissa Siegel published Wednesday, they come down on Martinez's ad that says Denish helped the Mesa de Sol Development — which hired Denish's husband as a lobbyist — get hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax breaks.
"But Martinez, a district attorney, uses circumstantial evidence to make her case in an ad that falsely accuses Denish of 'hiding a scandal,' " FactCheck says. "The evidence cited by the Martinez campaign fails to prove that Denish misused her office to help the developer get a tax break or that the tax break was connected to her husband's lobbying job or her campaign contributions."
