Moments and comments and questions and conversations can linger in a child's mind for days and weeks and months and years.
I stopped saying, "Kids should come with an instruction manual" after my son was born, because this child is a living, breathing set of instructions.
He tells me everything he needs. He always has. Sometimes it's buried under a layer or two of something — tired, proud, sad, embarrassed — but always it's close enough to the surface that we can extract it, together, with a little bit of time and talking.
He needed reassurance. That he'd still have a place in his big sister's life and her heart and her calendar. She provided it. I served as witness. All good.
Sometimes his instructions are more subtle.
Help me out, bud. I don't know Lin or Braylin.
Days earlier, we were at lunch with my friend Asra, and the Bears/Patriots game was playing on a TV in the background. Asra told us that her friend is so devoted to the Patriots that she named her daughter Braylin after Tom Brady and … some other player. None of us could think of the other player.
Until Wednesday morning on the ride to school.
Kalahari the water park or Kalahari the desert?
He wanted to talk about the Friday night in August when the kids got their own table with bottomless pitchers of Sprite, and the parents sat a table away talking about boring parent stuff, and the kids had free rein to talk about football and fourth grade and not use napkins.
The horseradish cocktail sauce ("ketchup") was his entree into the conversation, but really he wanted to talk about something that had been on his mind ever since. Something one of his friends said. So we talked about it.
He often revisits stuff days, weeks later. I have no idea it's bubbling under the surface, and then, bam, he brings it up, seemingly out of nowhere.
Moments and comments and questions and conversations linger in this child's mind for days and weeks and months and years. Moments/comments/questions/conversations that may not have even registered with me, at the time, as all that consequential.
My responsibility, as his mom, is to remember, always, that what I say and don't say, do and don't do, ask and don't ask, leaves a possibly permanent mark.
They're a gentle reminder, these out-of-the-blue exchanges, to parent him with thought and intention and tenderness, even in the moments that seem, to me, trivial. Or time-crunched. Or beside the point.
He's listening. He's watching. He's searching for cues and clues to take with him on all his days. He wants me to provide them. He will turn them over and over in his head indefinitely.
It's a lot of pressure. Especially when you're also sort of drowning in laundry, and someone needs a ride to practice, and your neighbors want you to feed their cat, and it's your niece's birthday and you need to send flowers, and you owe 7,000 people emails, and the mortgage was due yesterday.
But it's also a gift. To be trusted with a kid's heart. To be trusted with a kid's questions. To be treated to a kid's stories and memories and real-time narration of life.
And it's a gift that comes with instructions. Mostly they boil down to: Handle with care.
Join the Heidi Stevens' Balancing Act Facebook group, where she hosts live chats every Wednesday at noon. On Oct. 31 she'll talk about Latina Equal Pay Day with Jacqueline Priego, creator of "PinkSlipped," a web series comedy about power, tokenism and immigration.

Pandemic-weary World Welcomes 2021
December 31, 2020 8:07 AM update January 01, 2021 1:00 PM
VOA News
Revelers take part in New Year's Eve celebrations in Kyiv, Ukraine, Dec. 31, 2020.
The world's 7.8 billion people are bidding a hearty farewell to 2020 without the usual fanfare and public gatherings because of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
The start of 2021 in Russia saw most public events canceled. However, in Kaluga, Russia, which is considered the country's New Year's Eve capital, celebrations for tourists were set to continue even though residents wanted to see events canceled. The city is 150 kilometers southwest of Moscow.
Turkey greeted the New Year by starting a four-day lockdown, and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said law enforcement would crack down on illegal hotel parties.
Fireworks explode over a not-too-crowded square with a Christmas tree and skyscrapers during New Year's celebrations in Grozny, Russia, Jan. 1, 2021.
From Brussels to Berlin, celebrations were muted by the pandemic's restrictions.
France put 100,000 extra officers on its streets to enforce a curfew, and Greece said it would enforce its curfew as well.
"No one will be on the streets after 10 p.m. [Athens] will be a dead city to make sure no more restrictions are imposed," said Greece's public order minister, Michalis Chrisohoidis.
In Britain, which is struggling with a more contagious variant of the virus, residents were asked to "see in the new year safely at home." London has been under a strict lockdown that curtailed Christmas celebrations and shopping sprees, and the pyrotechnics over the River Thames were canceled.
World Bids Farewell to Year 2020
Dubai kicked off 2021 with its annual fireworks show near the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa, but some say virus mitigation rules made the event less fun.
"People come to Dubai because it's open, but there are so many rules," Bashir Shehu, 50, who was visiting from Abuja, Nigeria, with his family, told AP. "We pray that next year we can celebrate with some real freedom."
In India, celebrations to ring in 2021 were toned down because of curfews, a ban on beach parties and other travel restrictions. In major cities, hotels and bars were shut down at 11 p.m. local time, and the Associated Press reported that drones were monitoring people's movement in Mumbai, where large gatherings were prohibited.
Japan rang in the new year quietly thanks to rising COVID-19 cases.
Tokyo's governor, Yuriko Koike, had asked people not to attend countdown ceremonies.
"The coronavirus knows no year-end or New Year's holidays," she said.
South Korea, where the government banned gatherings of more than five people, saw a different New Year's Eve as a traditional bell ringing in Seoul was canceled for the first time since 1953. Beaches where South Koreans flock to watch sunrise were closed, with some outlets announcing plans to broadcast it instead. Ski resorts and other tourist spots were closed.
Fireworks explode over the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge as New Year celebrations begin in Sydney, Australia, Dec. 31, 2020. Authorities advised revelers to watch the fireworks on TV as New South Wales and Victoria battle COVID-19 outbreaks.
In Taiwan, officials held a fireworks show near the iconic Taipei 101 tower. A New Year's morning flag-raising ceremony took place in front of the Presidential Office Building, but it was limited to government officials and invited guests.
Taiwan has had seven deaths and fewer than 1,000 infections, according to Johns Hopkins University, which is monitoring the outbreak of the virus that causes COVID-19.
Hong Kong canceled public celebrations for the second year in a row. Last year, it was due to public security concerns. Restaurants closed at 6 p.m. local time, and live performances were canceled. Gatherings were limited to two people, but the AP reported crowds were still present in shopping areas.
The small central Pacific island nations of Tonga, Samoa and Kiribati were first to welcome 2021 due to their location on the international date line, with the bigger regional powers of New Zealand, Australia, Japan and South Korea following.
New Zealand's port city of Auckland rang in the new year with a major laser light show and fireworks display at the iconic Sky Tower, as residents celebrated the island nation's successful response to the coronavirus outbreak that resulted in just 2,162 coronavirus infections and 25 deaths.
In Australia, the million people who normally gather at the Sydney Harbor to watch the world-famous fireworks display over the city's renowned Opera House watched the proceedings from home. New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian announced earlier this week that the public would not be allowed at the harbor due to an outbreak at its Northern Beach suburbs.
Across the Atlantic, the usual shoulder-to shoulder crowds were not allowed in New York's historic Times Square this year because of measures enacted to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. The crowds were instead replaced by police who monitored the area to discourage anyone attempting to enter the area to see the famous "ball drop," that welcomes the beginning of the new year.
In Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, officials have called off the annual New Year's Eve beach party, which normally attracts hundreds of thousands of people with live music and a spectacular fireworks display.

Momzcuisine : Did you sprinkle a little too much salt in your soup ?
Did you sprinkle a little too much salt in your soup ?
Did you sprinkle a little too much salt in your soup?
Did you sprinkle a little too much salt in your soup ? Wait, before you throw it away and your thinking of the closest take out food. Here's a quick remedy, peel and slice a raw potato place it in your soup, stew, sauce or whatever else you are cooking.
The potato is known to absorb water from the food, when you add salt to food it turns into water. the potato absorbs the water with the salt thus removing the saltiness and you replace it with new water.
You let the potato boil for up to half an hour and then you remove it.
I have tried this myself and it works.
Nice tip.. i try and not to over salt or even use salt..
This is a great tip. Thank you for sharing.
This is an awesome idea indeed. I will have to try this for sure. Thanks for sharing.
I tend to use less salt because I'm not real big on salty tastes, but the potato trick does work. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, I wish I saw this 2 days ago. I was making beef stew and I was shaking a little salt into it and the lid came off. I was able to scoop most of it out, but this would have helped me immensely. Now I know what to do!
Thank you all for your comments and thanks for stopping by. If you have any questions at all about any recipe, don't hesitate to contact me.
Great tip! I do hate when there is too much salt added. Glad you shared with us.
You are so welcome Shirley.

This is another "will it fit" project, but hopefully won't become still-born at the first hurdle..
..and see if it fits!
but some more detailed measurements are needed before getting Mr. Angry Grinder out to play. There are also a few wiring mods needed as there's a control unit for the box itself, an extra input from the throttle body, another signal from the ECU as well as a speed sensor which on the donor Silvia comes from the speedo head (so that might be fun!).
So is it getting the Silvia turbo lump as well?
OOops! Showing my ignorance. I thought they were all fitted with the Ford CVH engine. Must be a bit of a goer with the Silvia Turbo!
First off, connect up a battery, check for oil and bits hanging off and give it a quick turn over.
My spare rad is toast we'll have a look for an alternative with built in gearbox oil cooler before deciding on this.
on the plus side, it came with a new galvanised lower rail, which I bolted onto a replacement rad surround.
Damper cover missing from RH unit (probably to avoid contact with the battery tray) – suggest battery in boot ayway?

Last edited by scimjim on Mon Mar 04, 2013 8:02 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Have got to agree battery in the boot is the best option, makes so many little jobs so much easier with the thing out of the way, I have taken the battery out of SST 8 so often I've just left it out for now. The Sabres is in the boot which is how come I know it is the best place for it.
I'm no longer a fan of oil coolers in radiators - especially autobox ones after my Landcruiser died as a result of it - well it didn't die it just cost £4k to fix. I think you're going to need a cooler though.
As for space perhaps you can sit the engine a little further forward though - or make up a mount that is pretty solid if it does go between the rails, there isn't a lot of room on the SST Ti around the manual box but most of the Silvia boys reckon they are pretty much the same with the Auto being slightly shorter, I reckon if anything messes you up it will be the bell housing.
I am leaning towards a separate cooler - unless a suitable (new) rad appears for beer money!
Have a plan for the positioning and as the box appears shallower than the manual one...well, it might all sit a bit higher.
With a nice high overdrive 4th it should make for nicer motorway manners as well.

On a wet, cold and rainy Saturday morning, Mkhondo residents and members of the farming community surrounding Mkhondo, were invited to an informative public meeting regarding a subject that is on everyone's lips, land expropriation without compensation.
The DA's (Democratic Alliance) Shadow Deputy Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform, Mr Ken Robertson, addressed the guests and made himself available to answer anyone's questions pertaining to this sensitive subject that is currently creating panic across South Africa.
The event was well-attended by various community members, business owners and farmers and Mr Robertson delivered a very informative speech which enlightened everyone in going forward. The information provided by him also led to various questions asked by the audience.
Some guests wanted to know if a person's property might be safer if you are in possession of a title deed, whilst others wanted to know what the South African Banks are saying, or doing, about expropriation of land without compensation. Surely the Banks will suffer severely if the government manages to proceed with the amendment of section 25 of South Africa's Constitution which will explicitly expropriate land without compensation.
Other concerns raised were what will happen to the reliable food sources in South Africa if farmers stop planting maize for instance as they are not sure whether they will have to hand over their property in the near future. People also mentioned that investors are no longer interested to invest money in South African farms and this creates constant panic among the farming communities.
The overall outcome of the public meeting was somewhat divided. Some people feel that there are valid reasons for concern whilst others are just going on as normal. A visitor even addressed Mr Robertson and informed him that his farm, in close approximately to Mkhondo, has already been invaded.
From the 72 hectares of trees he owns, he now only has about 12 hectares left, as the rest were cut down by the invaders who are planning to set up houses. Mr Robertson answered everyone's questions to the best of his ability but it remains a touchy situation which basically affects everyone.
He encouraged the guests to contact him if they have more questions or need advice on a particular situation pertaining to this subject. Mr Ken Robertson can be contacted on 076 687 2830 or via Cllr. Irene Brussow, on 084 475 2781.

Our Film programme, taught at Kent's Paris School of Arts and Culture, offers a thorough grounding in postgraduate-level film and is suitable both for graduates in the subject and those new to it. It is the only Film MA offered by a British university in Paris and taught in English.
The MA Film programme is taught by experts in Film and seeks to engage you with the key elements that make up the diverse nature of film and moving images.
You spend the entire year at Kent's Paris School of Arts and Culture where you study at the Columbia Global Center (known as Reid Hall), which is located in a historic corner of Montparnasse in the heart of Paris. This allows you to participate in excursions to prominent cultural locations and make use of research resources that are only available in Paris, such as the French Cinémathèque. You study film within the context of a city that is central both to the development of filmmaking practices and to critical and theoretical approaches to the cinema.
On this 12-month programme, you can choose to begin your studies in September or January and can take a standard (90 ECTS) or an extended (120 ECTS) version of the programme (full-time only). Part-time study is only available for EU/EEA passport holders, and for those who have the right to remain in France for the duration of their degree.
Students interested in taking this MA as a part-time option would take two modules each year (one per term), plus the dissertation in the final year.
The Film MA can also be studied between Canterbury and Paris, with the first term at our Canterbury campus and the spring term at our centre in Paris. You can also study the programme at Canterbury only.

Preventing the Tomahawk Chop
By dskriloff on May 22, 2014 Comments
BY STEVE RUSSELL
President Obama has announced plans to shrink the military to pre-World War II levels. This is staggering given the U.S. role in the world. Our nation will be weakened such that we'll no longer have the capacity for a two-front war, for the first time since 1942.
When President Obama launched operations against Libya in 2011, he spoke of bringing "America's unique capabilities" to the table and justified the launch of Tomahawk missiles to destroy Libyan air defenses as the preferred method to "not deploy US troops on the ground."
That may soon change. In President Obama's 2015 budget request, he plans a 50 percent chop in cruise missiles and their complete termination beginning in 2016. No replacement is scheduled for a decade. Even that may not work out.
Such a dangerous lag between the Tomahawk and its notional replacement exposes the United States to increasing global threats. Think Syria. Think Iran. Think North Korea. And if we want to think only small despots are a threat, think China and Russia.
Every president since George H. W. Bush has relied on the versatility, accuracy, and safety of these missiles and their upgrades to flex U.S. muscle when tyrants, terrorists, or contenders have overstepped the bounds of U.S. interests and international civility. More than 2,000 have been used. They continue to be our instant, tough response should other options preclude us.
It's not difficult to see why. The current generation of Tomahawks takes less than an hour to target and launch. The missile has a range of more than one thousand miles and carries a 1,000 pound-class warhead. It flies at high subsonic speed, and once launched it can be re-targeted in midair or asked to stay in a holding pattern for hours at a time.
Tomahawks also feature anti-jamming technology ensuring their ability to operate within GPS-denied environments. The Tomahawk remains the only missile that can swim, transition to a rocket, and then to a jet before accurately and consistently striking within a few feet of its exact target. It is a marvel of American ingenuity.
Even the president's budget admits the "[Tomahawk] provides a premier attack capability against long range, medium range, and tactical targets on land… The Block IV Tactical Tomahawk preserves Tomahawk's long-range precision-strike capability while significantly increasing responsiveness and flexibility."
Unfortunately, an unfair perception has grown among non-experts that the system is out-of-date. This is false. Like our tanks, planes, rifles and ships, the Tomahawk has consistently been upgraded and improved over time to achieve things it was not imagined to do.
Even so, the Pentagon is pondering a Tomahawk swap with the Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM). Currently, the technology behind the LRASM is largely conceptual. The new missile has yet to meet such basic benchmarks as a successful surface launch that hits its target and completing a flight of more than 300 miles.
Furthermore, the LRASM won't be ready to deploy until 2025 – assuming it's delivered on time. Even then, U.S. warships that currently deploy Tomahawks will need to be retrofitted to accommodate the new missile, a time-consuming and expensive process.
The appeal of the LRASM is that it purportedly offers capabilities that the Tomahawk does not, such as stealth and an ability to hit moving targets. But over two decades, the Tomahawk has proven to be an exceptionally adaptable weapons platform. A study on how to further modernize the Tomahawk concluded last year, and tests on how to best incorporate new technology into the Tomahawk are now getting underway.
We shouldn't scoff at a program proven to be so capable, delivered on-time, and at-cost – rarely the case with large-scale weapons programs. Moreover, the cost of continuing and upgrading this system would be immensely cheaper than leaving us vulnerable and broke when and if the expensive new capability gets developed.
Because of its wartime utility, more than a third of America's Tomahawk supply has been depleted. The current budget proposal further diminishes the stockpile.
This is a huge mistake. America's military must remain at a high level of readiness. In an era of forced austerity, it is madness to abandon such battle-tested and dependable weaponry in favor of conceptual technology promised a decade from now. Congress must prevent the Tomahawk chop)

Policosanol is an exciting recent addition to the list of products used in the ongoing battle against cholesterol. It is a totally natural product, derived primarily from the waxy coating of sugar cane.
Originally popularized in Cuba, policosanol is now approved as a cholesterol lowering treatment in over two dozen countries. Clinical trials have shown this naturally occurring substance to be at least as effective as the best of the current prescription medicines used for this purpose.
The relationship between cholesterol, diet, and health is complex; but it is commonly simplified by looking at the relative amounts of LDL ("bad") cholesterol and HDL ("good") cholesterol in a person's system. Decreasing the former and increasing the latter is, obviously, a desirable goal. The results from a number of clinical trials have shown that policosanol is able to reduce a person's LDL cholesterol by 21 to 29% and increase HDL cholesterol by between 8 and 15%. In addition, policosanol appears to be useful in treating patients suffering from a condition known as intermittent claudication, which is severe leg pain caused by hardened arteries. The clinical evidence suggests that this painful condition is relieved by a "thinning" of the blood in a similar way to aspirin.
Human trials have demonstrated that adverse side-effects, including weight-loss, skin rashes, nervousness, headache, diarrhea, and insomnia, were mild and only of short-term duration.
As the efficacy of policosanol becomes more widely known to physicians and the general public, it is sure to become a major player in the maintenance of good health in Western society.

Govt asks oil PSUs to come up with monetization plan

The Centre has asked the state-run oil and gas companies to submit their plans within 15 days
NEW DELHI : The ministry of petroleum and natural gas has asked state-run oil and gas companies to come up with new plans for asset monetization after the original plan for monetizing their oil and gas pipelines through infrastructure investment trusts (InvITs) was shelved.
Other options being looked at include monetization of receivables, two officials familiar with the developments said.

"They have been asked to look at the ways (of doing so). They have been asked to look at various avenues," said one of the officials cited above. The government has asked the companies to submit their plans within 15 days, the official added.
According to the initial plan, the oil and gas companies were likely to transfer some of their pipelines to separate InvITs and sell stakes in those pipelines. Recently, the companies conveyed to the ministry that the monetization of pipelines through InvITs would be an expensive way of raising capital, following which the government agreed to shelve the plan.
People in the know said that the companies conveyed that with high credit ratings they can raise capital easily and at a lower cost, which would be beneficial compared to the returns they would have to offer InvIT investors.
"For example, the National Highways Authority of India has got many (road) assets, but it does not have that much credit worthiness, so it (monetization through InvITs) is better for them, but the same might not be applicable in the case of refineries. You (oil and gas companies) can get loans at competitive rates and raise money from the market at quite competitive rates," said another official.
The official said that there is a need to be creative in terms of monetization and raising more capital from different avenues.
On whether the shelving of the pipeline monetization plan would result in lower recovery or raising of capital by the fuel retailers, the officials said that the government is not revising the targets.
The government's ambitious asset monetization plan was announced in last year's Union budget to increase financial resources for the National Infrastructure Pipeline. The total indicative value of the national monetization pipeline for core assets of the central government has been estimated at ₹6 trillion over the four-year period of FY22-25.
In terms of gas pipelines, the assets considered for monetization during FY22-25 include pipelines with an aggregate length of 8,154 km, of which 7,928 km are from the existing operational pipeline assets and the rest from pipelines that are expected to become operational during the period. The total value of natural gas pipeline assets considered for monetization was estimated at ₹24,462 crore, according to NITI Aayog.
A total of 3,930 km of petroleum product and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) pipeline were also identified for monetization during FY22-25, of which 3,196 km are product pipeline assets and 733 km are LPG pipeline assets. Hindustan Petroleum Corp. Ltd's (HPCL) Mangalore-Hassan pipeline (LPG pipeline) was identified for monetization during FY23.
The monetization pipeline has been developed by NITI Aayog in consultation with infrastructure ministries, based on the mandate for asset monetization under the Union budget for FY22.
Queries sent to the ministry of petroleum and natural gas, HPCL, GAIL and Indian Oil remained unanswered till press time.
The push for alternative ways to monetize assets comes at a time the country's financial woes have increased amid the Russia-Ukraine war, and the government is also set to lose about ₹1 trillion with the latest excise duty cut on petrol and diesel.
The disinvestment plans of the government have also encountered hurdles, with the Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd privatization unlikely to take place this fiscal.

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif has reassured the Palestinian people that the Pakistani nation would continue to support them unwaveringly in their struggle for the right to self-determination.
"This is an inalienable right of the Palestinian people that cannot be denied any longer," the Prime Minister said in his message on the 'International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People' observed on November 24.
The Prime Minister said that as the people of Pakistan observed another day of solidarity with their Palestinian brothers, they also expressed deep disappointment with the international community for having failed the just cause of Palestine for yet another year.
"I noted this failure very clearly in my recent address at the Annual General Meeting of the United Nations. At the same Annual General Meeting, the international community adopted a transformational development agenda for the next fifteen years. This agenda talks about people being at the centre. Yet the Palestinian people continue to suffer humiliating and absolutely inhuman treatment at the hands of the occupying power," he added.
The Prime Minister said that there was also a glimmer of hope as President Mahmoud Abbas had hoisted the proud Palestinian flag among the flags of sovereign states at the United Nations on September 30.
"This was, indeed, a great milestone in Palestine's quest for full membership of the United Nations," he added.


It was lit on campus Friday morning.
A student's car caught fire on Friday, Jan. 25 around 10:30 a.m. in parking lot D in front of the 2400 building. The front of a 2008 silver Honda Accord was engulfed in flames until the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department arrived to put it out. The orange blaze and billowing smoke, visible from as far as the portable classrooms, created a scene on a usually sleepy Friday.
The car belonged to Thach, who said it began smoking on her way to school. It was pouring from the hood by the time she arrived on campus. She immediately went to the Campus Safety office. By the time she returned to her car, flames had overtaken the engine and security called the fire department. The firefighters had it extinguished by 10:45 a.m., leaving the Honda charred in the parking lot.
No people or other vehicles were damaged. The fire was big enough to spread to other cars on another day of the week when the parking lot would be full. Since Fridays are the slowest on campus, Thach had a space with no cars nearby.
"You were very lucky there were no cars around,"senior administrative assistant Valerie Ball told Thach. Ball was one in a crowd that had formed by the spectacle. Thach stood on the sidewalk in tears, giving her report to security officer Dirk Stoddard. The cause of the fire is undetermined.


YCS Fort Lee Education Center has complied with the NJ Department of Environmental Protection and completed testing for lead in the drinking water at this school.
The test sample results are proven to be within the safety guidelines for drinking water.
The test results are publicly available at the school in the main office for anyone who would like to see the report.

What every mother needs to know about raising boys. By Rebecca Abrams
'When I look at my daughter, sometimes I see myself as a child,' says Carol, 46. 'But I look at my son, and think, "Who are you? What are you talking about?" He talks to me about Lego and Xbox, football cards and Transformers. I have no frame of reference for his world, and I don't understand it.'
It's easy to see why boys get a bad press. Male toddlers are noisy and hyperactive. Pre-teen boys are immature, can't concentrate, won't sit still. Teenage boys are so negatively perceived that if you didn't actually know any, you'd think they were all drug addicts and vandals.
According to child-development expert Elizabeth Hartley Brewer, author of Raising And Praising Boys, the root of the problem is not boys themselves, but the way we react to them. 'From earliest childhood, we give boys far more negative feedback than girls, and then tell them off when they live up to the negative image of themselves we've given them. We're not very good at celebrating boys for being boys.'
When my son was little, his favourite outfit was a pair of his sister's cast-off flowery leggings and a turquoise gingham skirt. All efforts to steer him towards more conventional clothing met with fierce resistance. I thought it was fine (he was only three), but not everyone agreed. His sister was old enough to sense something wasn't quite right about him wearing her clothes. His grandparents thought it was downright peculiar. The crunch point came one afternoon when we went to pick his sister up from school and some of the children pointed and whispered. After a bit, one of them piped up: 'Why's your little brother wearing a skirt?' My daughter blushed. My son went very quiet. He never wore the turquoise skirt again.
Boys are not just different from girls, but also in many ways more vulnerable. Boys are born six weeks behind girls developmentally, a gap that widens throughout childhood right up to puberty, by which time they are two years behind. In infancy, boys cry more, take longer to settle, are slower to learn to walk, talk and potty train. They have more difficulty adapting to school. Reading, writing, sitting still all come harder to small boys.
Socially, too, they lag behind girls. Behavioural problems and mental illnesses, from autism to attention deficit disorder, are more common at all ages in boys than girls. In adolescence, boys do less well at school, leave school earlier, and are more likely than girls to die, in road accidents, from substance abuse, in fights and by suicide. The vast majority of young offenders are boys.
Hartley Brewer believes there is a whole host of ways in which we can do more to affirm our sons and make life easier for them. She advises praising boys at every opportunity, especially when they're little; avoiding criticism and unfavourable comparisons; accepting the ways in which they are different from girls, and rewarding them for the many things they are naturally good at.
'Boys are wonderful problem-solvers. They are very good at coming up with innovative solutions. They engage with the world physically, and we need to work with that as a strength, not turn it into a weakness. Boys are very responsive to praise, but it works the other way too: if we make them feel unaccepted and unacceptable, they will quickly start to misbehave and play up.' For many mothers, this means being aware of their own inbuilt bias towards girls and femaleness. Sally, a mother of three sons, aged eight, 12 and 15, grew up with sisters and admits she had a lot of negative preconceptions about boys. 'I didn't really know anything about them,' she says. 'My entire idea of what was normal came from my own experience as a girl.'
Boys need opportunities to be physical, to rough and tumble, to let off steam. Televisions, computers and games consoles may seem to harassed mothers a good way to contain boys' energy and deal with their short attention spans, but experts all agree that letting boys play games for hours is only ever a short-term solution that stokes up long-term problems. Steve Biddulph, author of Raising Boys, stresses the importance of reading and talking to boys, to help them catch up linguistically and develop socially. Mothers, in particular, have a vital role to play in helping their sons develop emotional skills as well as physical ones.
'A mother teaches a boy a great deal about life and love,' says Biddulph. 'She is his "first love", and needs to be tender, respectful and playful, without dominating his world.' Mothers invariably take the lead in this social learning. 'It never occurs to my husband to ask our sons how they're feeling,' says Helena, 41. 'Probably because no one ever asked him. I've always encouraged my boys to talk. But you can't just sit them down and say "talk to me" like you might with a girl. You have to come at it sideways.'
Perhaps the hardest task of all for mothers is knowing how and when to let their sons go. As boys mature, mothers have to let them push us away at times. 'You have to be careful not to intrude on your son's privacy, and not to take it personally when he doesn't want to share everything with you any more,' says Hartley Brewer. 'As they get older, boys need to feel they're in charge of their lives. That means letting them make mistakes and letting them set their own boundaries.'
Charlie Taylor, author of Divas And Dictators, believes physical affection is vitally important for teenage boys, yet very underrated. 'In other cultures, parents are physically affectionate with their sons right into adulthood, and research suggests teenage boys benefit greatly from loving touch. Obviously, they don't want you to be hugging them in front of their mates, but our need for physical affection and reassuring touch doesn't go away.'
Mothers of teenage sons have an especially delicate balance to strike between being available but not intrusive. Psychologist Dr Terri Apter, author of The Confident Child, says: 'Relationships with parents continue to be of great importance to boys during their teenage years. Parents need to keep the channels of communication open by responding with interest rather than dismay. You have to set aside expectations of who your son is and let him tell you who he is.'
How do you teach boys to be men who respect women?
Alarmed by continuous casually sexist attitudes, The Great Initiative is hoping to teach boys how to grow into young men who respect women, and it has enlisted the help of former rapper and father of two daughters, Doc Brown, to help it achieve this aim. Lena Corner explains
How to deal with other people's children
How to encourage authentic self-esteem in children

I'm curled up on a soft bed in a wooden hut, and through a fug of jetlag and a soundtrack of bleating goats and insistent birdsong, I'm trying to make sense of the view. I'm in the first few minutes of a two-week writing residency at The Wellstone Center in the Redwoods, and I can't quite believe I'm here.
"Here" is Soquel, California. Around 15 minutes from the centre of Santa Cruz, the residence sits atop a hill overlooking a valley of Californian oak, dotted with shallow-rooted eucalyptus trees poking out through a blanket of perfect white fog. The sun is beaming down into the strip of ocean on the horizon. The air is crisp and impossibly clean. This will be my home for two long, strange, incredible weeks.
Let me tell you about the place.
The view of the main house from my little cabin. That's where I go to find electricity, running water and internet - as well as other humans.
Outside there's a stunning pool and hot tub overlooking herb and vegetable gardens, and winding paths gorgeously littered with fallen pumpkins and squash.
I stayed in the Library House, a wooden cabin a little way from the main house. It has no water or electricity, just shelves of books with thoughtful and colourful notes attached - the poetry section, the travel section, American classics, an entire shelf of Hemingway.
The trees provide some shade from the sun streaming in through the windows in the morning, and the birds act as an alarm clock gentle enough to sleep through. The Library House has a wraparound deck, a lovely place to sit and drink coffee, write or do yoga. It looks particulalrly beautiful at night by candlelight. Just ignore the spiders. They're numerous, but they don't want any trouble.
The other writers stayed in the Pool House (pictured in the video at the end of this post), a little cottage with its own kitchen and bathroom, and there are also some lovely rooms inside the house.
Everyone has to work an hour a day while on a residency, and my job was to milk the goats.
Let me repeat that: I got to MILK the FREAKIN' GOATS.
Their names were Doris and Butterfingers, I totally adored them both, and between them they produce a bucket of milk a day. My expectations of my goat-milking abilities were low; it was suggested I may take the full two weeks to be able to do it without supervision. But I had an excellent teacher in Dave, the nomadic intern from Chicago who was helping out at the Center for a week, and got the hang of it by day two.
After milking the goats, my day revolved around coffee, writing, making lunch with produce plucked from the garden, writing some more, and then whatever evening activity was planned. This was usually just a communal dinner and chatting until bedtime, but on Tuesday nights they host an open mic night where resident writers and people from town read their writing and give each other feedback. It was wonderful to hear other people's work, and I got some truly invaluable insight on mine that changed the entire structure of my book.
Writer and publisher Steve Kettmann runs Wellstone with Sarah Ringler. They were living in Berlin and moved to California after seeing the house and having the kind of "life tapping you on the shoulder" moment that compels you to move countries and start a writers residency. They now have two children, a dog called Sally, goats, chickens and a steady stream of writers in their lives.
Steve gives amazing writing feedback, and Sarah runs wonderful yoga classes on Saturdays. And now I'm home I really, really miss Sarah's amazing bread.
I was in residence with Karen Smyte and Ann Hillesland. Just a few days in and I felt like I'd known them for ages. Ann was writing a novel set in California (check out her stuff here) and Karen was writing a novel from the perspective of a women's rowing coach (check out hers here). I can barely think of a topic we didn't cover in our daily chats. They gave great feedback and I already miss our evenings drinking red wine under the stars.
Dinners are communal and a great way to get out of your head after a day's writing. Over the course of a week, everyone takes it in turns to cook. For breakfast and lunches you're on your own, and there are regular trips to town to pick up groceries at Trader Joe's or Safeway. However, the garden is incredibly fruitful – I loved the cherry tomatoes, kale and herbs – and the chickens lay eggs and the goats produce buckets of milk. A pot of coffee is always brewing in the morning, and we wandered in and out of the kitchen taking slices of Sarah's wonderful fresh bread. Writing is hungry work.
When you read about writing residencies, the main thing that comes across is "GUYS, I GOT SO MUCH WORK DONE!" I was slightly nervous, especially in my first few days of jetlagged idiocy, that I wouldn't live up to it.
But guys, I got so much work done. I'm talking around 40 pages. And they're good.
When I arrived, the book I'm working on - a non-fiction book about death festivals around the world - was a mass of notes and chapters that needed ripping apart and research and research and research. Now I have the first few chapters under my belt. This residency was totally transformative.
But what are you going to do, work the ENTIRE TIME? With the freakin' REDWOODS DOWN THE ROAD? Hell no. I'd left the center exactly three times in almost two weeks (twice to get groceries, once to go to Mill Valley to interview a transhumanist who plans to eradicate death) when Karen invited me to go hiking with her in the Redwoods.
It's surprisingly tempting to stay in the creative bubble that is the Wellstone Center, and even more surprising what a shock it is to be back in a city. I'm glad I had the stepping-stone of a hike in the woods and a few fun-filled hours talking and thinking about something other than my book to ease me back into the outside world.
If I've made it sound amazing, incredible, wonderful, awesome, enter hyperbolic adjective here, it was. But instead of sending me good-natured hate mail like my friends, just apply. Wellstone runs residencies for writers and journalists, and also emerging writer residencies if you're still starting out. If you're a writer at any stage, you can apply for a residency at Wellstone and I strongly encourage you to do so. Steve and Sarah have created something very special here.


Inspired by French muralist Nelio, the site-specific Bronx Tracks was created by artist Diana Perea to run alongside the courthouse center at Morris Avenue, and the less trafficked blocks running to Elton Avenue. The large-scale, and colorful installation was designed to create a more pedestrian-friendly experience, and was installed by a team of young DreamYard artists along with volunteers. Entitled Bronx Tracks, the mural is present by WHEDco and The DreamYard Project, in partnership with the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), and will be on view to July, 2017. The mural is located at Railroad Park and East 161st Street in the South Bronx.

New Report says Uber and Lyft's Growth Is Slowing in Most Major U.S. Cities
Some 13 to 15 million Americans will actively use ride-sharing services by the end of this year and that's close to the ceiling of the total U.S. market that Uber and Lyft, the two largest U.S. ride-sharing companies, can capture.
That's according to a report from 7Park Data, an NYC-based data intelligence company, which found that 20 to 25 percent of U.S. smartphone users have the Uber app installed and about three percent of them use it every week to order rides. The average ride is less than 15 miles. Ridership between Uber and Lyft has fallen about nine percent from the second quarter 2015 to the second quarter 2016, though.
While installs on only 20 to 25 percent of devices sounds like Uber has a lot of room to grow, a lot is likely an overstatement. Uber's largest markets are major U.S. cities where ride-sharing is more useful than using personal vehicles or public transportation. The rest of the U.S. market lives in areas where most people own their own vehicles and the hurdles for ride-sharing are higher. "While the ride-sharing industry is expected to continue growing, the rate of growth is expected to slow," the report states. "Uber, particularly, may be close to saturating at least its major U.S. markets, especially given lower fares and increased competition."
The report's data was drawn from panels that cover more than 50 million mobile devices across more than 75 countries. 7 Park analyzed anonymous mobile app usage statistics, device and network data and receipt data from millions of active U.S. and global consumers that use Uber and Lyft, including those of their competitors. It focused on active activity per user, or users who regularly use the Uber app each month rather than having it installed without ordering any rides.
The data doesn't segregate travelers living in one U.S. city and using Uber and Lyft in another. If, for example, a traveler lives in a suburb of Kansas City, Missouri where they don't use ride-sharing but travel to New York City for business or leisure where they do — that's not considered in the report. While Uber and Lyft may be close to saturating their largest U.S. markets with residents, they both have potential to gain market share among travelers.
Byrne Hobart, an analyst for 7 Park, said the data show that rental car companies have been impacted in the largest U.S. ride-sharing markets that are some of the most visited U.S. destinations. "Uber and Lyft really need to go after commuters to increase their market shares and that's exactly what they've been doing this year," said Hobart. "But it's still too early to know how that push has played out and if they've had success."
THE UBER-LYFT U.S. RIVALRY
In 2014 there was a significant spending gap with new users between Uber and Lyft but now that's converged a bit, said Hobart. "At this time we don't really know what the lifetime value of an Uber user is…Uber's expected revenue per user is higher for a year after a new user starts they start than right after they start," said Hobart.
During the past two years the average cost of an Uber or Lyft ride has gradually gone down as both companies are spending more per user this year than they were in 2014. "When we look at first-time users from 2014, they would typically spend a bit more than new users would spend right now in 2016," said Hobart. "In 2014 a new Uber user would typically spend about $70 in their first month and then spend more than that per month in their first year. But now the average Uber user spends about $55 during their first month which is pretty similar to what the average Lyft user spends." [MORE]

University students are happy to have their mental health issues shared with their parents, poll finds
swati joshi
It comes amid growing calls for better information sharing between universities and students' next of kin
Students would be happy to have their mental health issues flagged with their parents by university, a survey has found.
Four in five (81 per cent) undergraduates said that their university could share information with their next of kin, according to a poll of over 14,000 students.
The annual Student Academic Experience Survey, conducted by the Higher Education Policy Institute (Hepi) and the sector group Advance HE, also found that students are increasingly anxious.
Two thirds (66 per cent) of undergraduates said their university could contact their parents about their mental health under "extreme circumstances" and another 15 per cent said they could under any circumstances.
It comes amid growing calls for better information sharing between universities and students' next of kin, in the wake of a string of suicides where parents have felt they had been left in the dark about their child's wellbeing.
Nick Hillman, director of Hepi, said he is "constantly" told that "students are adults, they don't want their parents interfering in their life, parents are the last people you would want to tell if you had a challenge".
But the survey results prove that such arguments – previously used by the student unions and mental health charities – are not correct, he said.
"Those opinions are out of date, mental health is something people are much less embarrassed about it," he said. "Parents are also much more involved in their children's higher education than they used to be."
Among 20 to 24-year-olds, 37 per cent experience low anxiety, according to data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), compared to 16 per cent of university students.
The proportion of students with low anxiety has been steadily decreasing, and is now five per cent lower than it was in 2016, the survey found.
Undergraduates were also less satisfied with life, found life less worthwhile and experienced less happiness than their peers, the data showed.
James Murray, whose son became the tenth Bristol University student to take his own life in the past three years, has campaigned for a change to data protection rules prevent further deaths at universities.
His son Ben, 19, died last May and it was only after his death the family discovered Ben had been falling behind in his studies, missing lectures and had been put in a "withdrawal process" by the university who were considering his "fitness to study".
Universities say that under data protection laws, they are unable to share confidential information about students – who are over the age of 18 so legally regarded as adults – without their express permission.
But Mr Murray has called for the rules to be relaxed so parents can be told if students are struggling. Damian Hinds, the education secretary, has previously urged vice-Chancellors to "get better at reaching out to family members" if a student is struggling, adding that this would be a "big step" towards improving pastoral care.
Clare Marchant, the chief executive of the universities admissions service has already signalled that she is open to the possibility of adding a section to the Ucas application form where students opt in to having certain information about their wellbeing shared with their next of kin.

Generac to add over 400 jobs at Wisconsin plants
Strong sales growth, helped in part by Hurricane Irene and other natural disasters, is leading generator manufacturer Generac Holdings Inc. to add over 400 new jobs at its factories in Waukesha and other Wisconsin communities.
Generac announced Monday it will add 300 to 400 jobs in Waukesha, Whitewater and Eagle, along with 50 to 60 jobs at its recently acquired Magnum Products LLC subsidiary in Berlin. Magnum makes portable light towers, portable generators and pumps used at construction sites.
Waukesha-based Generac, which now has 1,500 to 1,600 employees, plans to hire most of the new workers within 90 days, said company spokeswoman Heather Shannon Gaedtke. All of the new employees will be hired within the next year, she said.
Generac won't release pay data, but all of the jobs pay family-supporting wages and salaries, Gaedtke said.
The new positions range from entry-level to management, and include engineers, designers and technicians, a company statement said.
All of Generac's manufacturing facilities are in Wisconsin. Less than 2% of its workforce was union members as of Dec. 31, according to the company's annual report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The company isn't receiving any public financing assistance in connection with the expansion, which is fueled by increased demand for its products, said Art Aiello, a company media relations specialist.
Generac on Nov. 1 reported that its third-quarter profit increased nearly 63%, to $37.4 million, or 55 cents a share, compared with $23 million, or 34 cents a share, for the same period last year.
Sales jumped 49% to $239.3 million, compared with $160.7 million during the year-earlier period.
Generac saw record shipments of its home generators during the third quarter after major power outages occurred in the Midwest and along the East Coast, President and Chief Executive Officer Aaron Jagdfeld said in last week's earnings announcement. Home generators accounted for more than two-thirds of the company's third quarter revenue.
"Our sustained efforts over the past three years to build a leading position in the market for portable generators resulted in a sharp increase in sales due to the increased demand for these products in the third quarter," Jagdfeld said, in a statement. "We also saw increased demand for our home standby generators in the quarter and we expect that demand will grow over the next several quarters as homeowners look to protect themselves from future power outages."
The company expects its home generator sales in the fourth quarter to increase by over 30%, Jagdfeld said.
Job fair planned
Generac is holding a job fair from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday at its Waukesha headquarters, S45-W29290 Highway 59.

Mo Salah was easily the best player in the Premier League last season and after a slow start to the new campaign, the Egyptian is finally getting back his groove.
And all this success has certainly won the forward numerous fans along with a number of awards.
But the latest appreciation directed towards Mo Salah has instantly become the subject of debate on social media.
Sculptor Mai Abdel recently created a bust of Mo Salah to celebrate the forward's success and fame. But in all honesty, that statue is a bit bizarre.
The statue has made the sculptor and Mo Salah laughing stocks on social media with many comparing it to that in-famous Cristiano Ronaldo bust.
But Mai Abdel has now revealed that Mo Salah himself got in touch with him and had some really nice things to say about him.
"International and our hero Captain, our player Mohamed Salah personally contacted me just now and encouraged me to continue.
Mo Salah is often referred to a man with a heart of gold and the Liverpool man is quite easily the most famous personality in Egypt.

Q: Function with args in parent scope is being binded but not being called in angular directive I'm trying to call a function that is in the parent scope of a directive but it is not being called.
We want to pass the parameter 'arg' that is being modified to the parent scope and do some logic to it like 'arg = arg + 1', but this function is not being called.
   function MyCtrl($scope) {
        $scope.arg = 0

        $scope.myFunction = function(arg) {

           //do some logic like '+ 1'
           arg++;

           $scope.arg = arg;
        }
    }

    myApp.directive('directive', function () {

    return {
        restrict: 'E',
        scope: {
            arg: '=arg',
            fun: '&'
        },

        template: '<input ng-model="arg"/>',

        link: function (scope) {
            scope.$watch('arg', function (arg) {
                scope.fun(arg);
            });
        }
    };
});

Here is a little fiddle with a basic use case. http://jsfiddle.net/HB7LU/2677/

A: The $scope function isn't being called because you are parsing it wrong.
To parse a function you need to assign it like so:
<directive arg="arg" fun="myFunction()"></directive>
If you want to pass arguments to it, you need to be just a little more careful. First you need to describe the arguments in advance like so:
<directive arg="arg" fun="myFunction(arg)"></directive>
and when you're calling the function inside the directive you apply it like so:
scope.fun({arg: arg});
I created a jsFiddle that solves your issue: jsFiddle
Please note that your own fiddle had a recursive call in it: everytime you increase arg you also trigger the $watch and so it went into a loop. I changed that a bit (since I know you made it just to show your example.
If you want to learn a bit more about the & parsing in directives, check out this video which I highly recommend: egghead.io isolate scope &

Opinion Social Media Former NPA member shares miserable experience as rebel
Former NPA member shares miserable experience as rebel
by Nathan Singson on 1:21 PM in Opinion, Social Media
Feeling the pain of the parents who lost their children to left-leaning youth groups, a former member of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People's Army (CPP-NPA) shared her tragic experience in the hands of the group, tagged as a terrorist organization, to a lawyer and radio-television host.
"May" (not her real name), 28, recounted her ordeal to lawyer Bruce Villafuerte Rivera, and requested that her story be told to the public "so she could at least save one daughter from being lost".
In a Facebook post, Rivera said: "She told me, her life is only for his son. If her story would save just one daughter from being lost, then it served the purpose".
Rivera said May approached her on Facebook through common friends after she saw last week's Senate hearing on missing minors, where mothers sought help from the government in getting back their children believed to be recruited by left-leaning youth groups.
Read his full post below:
"THE LOST CHILD
May (not her real name), 28 years old recently surrendered to the military after 14 years in the CPP/NPA. The reason for her surrender: she wants a future for her 10 year old son.
It started so innocently. May was fourteen when she met Junior when she was a high school student in PUP (sa mga hindi gets. Not the real name of her school. Walang high school ang PUP. Hello.) She was an honor student and she was in a hurry to make her mark in this world. It was the GMA era and corruption charges have began to surface. There was a Valentine Day bombing in 2005 but it did not stop May from watching a movie. She met Junior (not his real name) in SM Centerpoint and the guy was interesting to her. He was 22 and as a 14 year old nerd, it was an exciting thought.
May ended up initially dating Junior after a month of text message exchanges. However, Junior was also busy as a member of a leftist partylist who won a seat in Congress in the 2004 election. He was assigned to youth membership. May wanted to be part of Junior's world so she also became a youth member of the group. May was one of the students who heavily protested against GMA when she made the "I am sorry!" statement. She was also becoming a regular protestor every time a journalist was killed and there were a lot that time more particularly, Marlene Esperat.
Slowly, May began to be serious in her advocacy and began doing so-called "immersion trips" to Leyte, Mindora and Mindanao. Coming from a broken family, her dad abandoned them and her mom found work as a nurse in KSA when May was 12 years old. As such, she was a good daughter and was given virtually little supervision by her aunt who became her guardian. Her aunt did not see anything wrong because she saw that May was doing things with a legitimate partylist and she made her trips when it was summer.
However, May did not finish her high school because she did not return to Manila when she took the immersion visit to Davao del Norte. She found out she was pregnant and Junior was the father. She found out that Junior is married so he convinced her to go underground and be rebels so she can be his cadre, partner and wife.
She gave birth to a baby boy in May 2009. Three months after, she was still in the rebel camps when she learned that Junior went abroad. In fact, Junior went to a European country to work there. In 2015, May would discover that Junior was never married and was married for the first time to an Austrian. May has become the "wife" of numerous NPA cadres but they would eventually leave, surrender or get killed.
So she found a way to surrender just last year. She learned her mother died of a drug overdose after May disappeared and her younger brother recently died in a drug-related violence. Her aunt refuses to talk to her because of the way she left them and her so-called "revolutionary friends" deny their connections and the party stood firm in their insistence that she was never a member.
She saw the hearing in the Senate and she reached out to me through a common friend to tell her story. Then, my Facebook was reported and telling her story would not be that much effective if told in this minor account. I anticipated to post this.
An hour ago, she private message me. She told me her life is only for his son. If her story would save just one daughter from being lost then it served the purpose. She saw the pain in the mothers who their children get lost in an ideology and taken from them because she is now a mother but this time, she has the power to decide for him. Something, her mom never got to do. And she knows it killed her.
Nobody will know her. I am making this story fiction to protect what is left of her life.
Luis Tarus, one of the founders of CPP/ NPA in our country famously said:
"I know now from experience, that the nationalism of the Communists is indeed opportunism, and that they use it for their own ends. Any nationalist who makes an ally of the Communist is going for a ride on a tiger.""
