First, take as many bullets out of the gun as you can. Secondly, check whether you've taken as many bullets out of the gun as you can. Thirdly, if there are any remaining bullets in the gun which you can remove, do so.
Our global gamble with the climate is playing out over too long a timeframe to have the same instant, horrifying drama as Russian roulette, but we are currently aiming a fully loaded carbon cannon at our collective head, and we're still trying to squeeze more bullets into the chambers.
of catastrophe, but we won't actually know which bullet has our name on it until the trigger has been pulled.
So we need to remove as many bullets as we can, as fast as we can.
Firstly, some good news. We have the technology. There are one or two big emitters where we have yet to develop a low carbon alternative, aviation being the most famous example, but for the vast majority of carbon sources we have clean technology ready to replace them.
The success story of our climate mitigation efforts so far has been renewable energy generation. The cost of solar power has fallen by well over 99% over the last few decades, and by 18% this year alone. Onshore wind is the cheapest source of new energy in the UK, and the price set for offshore wind has fallen by around 50% in the last 5 years.
the whole world. But domestically, China is still building coal plants, and Germany is on the brink of completely destroying the ancient forest of Hambach, releasing its stored carbon and wiping out its biodiversity, in order to expand an open-cast mine producing lignite, the dirtiest form of coal.
RWE, the multinational owners of one of the UK's big six utilities, npower, and of the Hambach open-cast mine, is planning to go on extracting lignite throughout the next two decades. Of the ten dirtiest power stations in Europe, six are German lignite plants.
This is the country that led Europe's climate action, home of the energiewende, the EU's biggest economy and biggest power. Germany replacing one of Europe's few remnants of ancient forest with the ugliest form of high-carbon infrastructure to produce the highest-carbon fuel will not help us to persuade developing nations to preserve their forests and avoid high-carbon infrastructure.
Every bullet in the gun we're pointing at ourselves has rich vested interests with expensive lobbyists arguing for it to remain in the chamber. And in many cases organised labour will line up beside them. We must prepare for a just transition, so that workers in unsustainable industries are confident that their prospects will not disappear along with those industries. And we must make our politics more transparent, so that we know who our representatives are really representing. But above all, we must face up to the fact that, even when it's like pulling teeth, the only way to win at Russian roulette is to take the bullets out of the gun.

Did you know that if you own paper savings bonds, you can trade them in for electronic bonds in TreasuryDirect, using a program called SmartExchange?
SmartExchange allows TreasuryDirect account owners to convert their Series E, Series EE, and Series I Bonds to electronic securities in a special Conversion Linked Account within their online account. With a TreasuryDirect account, you enjoy all the benefits of having online 24-hour access to manage your holdings, without having to keep track of paper securities.
If you want to cash (redeem) your savings bonds (and you have them in hand), you don't need a TreasuryDirect account. It's quicker and easier to take the savings bonds to your local financial institution and cash them there.
If the bond owner is deceased, please see our web page "Death of a Savings Bond Owner."
If you're a TreasuryDirect account owner, you can exchange paper savings bonds on which you are the sole owner, a co-owner, or the owner with a beneficiary. As an account owner, you can also convert paper savings bonds purchased as gifts for someone else, or bonds you have obtained through inheritance or other change in ownership.
Why Should You Use SmartExchange?
You can cash your electronic bonds, in full or in part, at any time – 24 hours a day, seven days a week – and deposit the funds to a savings or checking account that you specify. You don't need to go to a financial institution, and there are no restrictions on the number of bonds or the value that can be cashed at any one time once minimum requirements are met.
Online holdings and their current values can be viewed at any time. You don't need to worry about paper securities being accidentally lost or destroyed.
When electronic bonds reach final maturity and are no longer earning interest, they will be paid automatically, and the proceeds deposited to your Zero-Percent C of I in your Primary Account. You can use all or some of the proceeds to purchase new securities or cash the C of I to your bank account, in full or in part.
How Do You Use SmartExchange?
Open a TreasuryDirect account, if you don't already have one. Simply complete our easy, online application to get started.
Once your TreasuryDirect account is set up, login, click "Manage Direct," then select "Establish a Conversion Linked Account" in the Manage My Linked Accounts menu.
After you review the information on the ManageDirect >> Establish a Conversion Account page, click "Create Account" if you wish to create a Conversion Linked Account.
Click "Manage Direct," then select "How to Convert My Paper Bonds" under the "Manage My Conversions" menu for complete instructions.
Interested in more detailed information on SmartExchange? Check our FAQs for answers to your questions about the conversion process.
NOTE: In TreasuryDirect, the number in the "Amount" column represents the amount you paid for a bond, not the bond's face value. For example, if you bought a $100 Series EE savings bond in paper form, you paid $50 for it. If you exchange it for an electronic bond in a TreasuryDirect account, the "Amount" column in TreasuryDirect will show "$50". The number in the "Current Value" column shows what the bond is worth: purchase price plus accrued interest.

.Rejecting His Desire by Dilys J. Carnie #SOR #giveaway

When Rose's past catches up with her will she survive? Jack will stop at nothing to make sure she does.
Rose Eagleton has never let anyone penetrate her tough exterior. She won't allow herself to be hurt again, nor will she let anyone uncover the secrets of her past, which she has successfully hidden for years. But when she meets Jack Calloway he refuses to let her hide behind her shell. She's confused about her feelings for this man who takes every opportunity to be close to her, to touch her, to make her feel. But she knows one thing for sure—she can't let him become important to her.
Jack's motto had always been 'to protect'. An ex-Navy Seal who is now part owner of a security firm, he takes his work seriously. When he installs a security system in Rose's club as a favor to her sister, he finds himself intrigued by the beautiful young woman who fights so hard to keep him at a distance. As he discovers the secrets she's trying so desperately to hide, it becomes clear that her life is in danger. Can he break through her shell and provide her with the protection she needs but refuses to accept?
Content Warning: contains adult language and explicit sex
"Honey girl, you look as if you'd rather be somewhere else."
The familiar voice made Rose's stomach clench and her heart race.
She cleared her throat, turning around. "I was thinking about changing my clothes. I'm not really all that comfortable in this type of attire."
Jack's dark eyes went over her from top to bottom, his perusal slow, until his eyes rested on hers. "That'd be a real pity, Rose, 'cause you look beautiful in that dress."
"Yeah, right." She laughed. "Is that a pick-up line, Jack?"
Even on her best day she thought she just looked 'okay', nothing out of this world, definitely not a beauty like Daisy and Jasmine. Rose thought that the beauty gene must have passed her by, because her two sisters were beautiful while she was merely passable.
The male species were okay, but she'd never found one that made her sigh and swoon. She was used to putting up a front, fighting her battles, but truth be told, she was embarrassed and felt uncomfortable in such close proximity with Jack.
He reached over, slipping his finger around a curl that the hairdresser had tonged into her straight hair, it was left loose while the rest of her hair was piled on top of her head. He twined it around his finger, doing it as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
She reached up, circling his wrist with her fingers, only they were too small, and it made her aware of just how large he was.
He gave her a questioning look. "You gonna try and throw me down the stairs or something?" His mouth twitched as his eyes twinkled with amusement.
She stared hard at him. She didn't like to be touched. "If I have to."
Rose was defiant; she knew for sure that no way in hell would she be able to do that. When he'd allowed her to kick his six and a half feet of muscled body out of her club she'd had to admit surprise. Rose thought a man like him would have been mortified by a female getting one over on him, but he hadn't even lifted a finger to stop her.
He stepped back, and she held her breath when she felt his fingers touch her neck as he let go of her hair. Her insides did that shaking thing which had also happened the last time she saw him. He leaned against the banister and shoved his hands into his trouser pockets.
"So why'd you laugh when I called you pretty?"
"Because I thought it was funny and a terrible pick-up line."
He raised his eyebrows. "You think that was a pick-up line?"
"Wasn't it?" She moved back, or tried to; she was already pushed against the window. He was so close, she had to look up to talk to him. The air seemed limited, and she blew out a breath to cool her very unattractive sweaty upper lip.
"No, it was the truth. You look beautiful."
She tried to be casual by shrugging her shoulders, but she was standing in four-inch heels, and the movement unbalanced her—there was no way that was ever going to end well. She fell forward straight into his arms, her braless breasts squashed into his hard chest.
Immediately her nipples hardened, and she was shocked. She could feel her body enjoying the warmth of Jack Calloway before she realized he had his arms around her with his long fingers laying on the bare skin of her back. Jeezus, was that an electric shock whizzing down her arms to the tips of her toes?
She pushed back, looking up into those black eyes that were half closed. He, on the other hand, seemed perfectly unaffected by what had just happened. Although he wasn't smiling as he had been, the facetiousness had disappeared. She frowned. Had she imagined that sizzle of awareness? No…the soles of her feet felt like a pincushion.
"You are beautiful," he insisted.

My home is on the beautiful island of Anglesey on the west coast of North Wales. Anglesey has been my home since the age of eleven after moving here with my mum and dad and three sisters from Scotland.
I'm the proud mother of two grown children. My daughter Emma is a primary school teacher, and my son Christopher is part of the family business.
I'm a health freak and a vegetarian. Pilates class combined with visiting the gym at least four times a week keeps me fit. I love clothes, makeup, and having my nails and hair done. I'm just a girl's girl.
If I'm not in my office pounding the keys I'm sitting in my favorite chair reading books and discovering new authors on my Kindle.
As a young child I loved to write. I always carried a notebook and pen around with me and wrote about everything. I never thought for one moment I would ever be able to pick up a book with my name on it and say "I wrote that". It was a dream come true when I signed with a publisher for my first book in November 2012. So, dare I say at the young age of fifty I think it's time for me to see if those dreams are everything that I hope they will be.

My name is Shelly and I am currently in the process of getting licensed as a small family child care. I would really love to find out what the immediate need for childcare is in Wheatland area. I have my own son who is 9 months old so he is included in my ratios. I will be open from 6:30 am - 6 pm and offer extended hours for those who need it. I am open to full time/part time/after schoolers. I will care for ages 6 weeks to 12 years old. Healthy meals and snacks will be provided except formula for infants. I live very conveniently off hwy 65 and within walking distance to all three schools in town. I am very convenient for those parents that travel through the Wheatland area for work. My contract is completed and I am ready for interviews as well. I will gladly e-mail my contract to anyone with interest. Please let me know if you would like more information. As I said above- I am not currently licensed, only going through the process. I am able to care for the children of 1 family while completing this process.

Retired doc still keeps old ties

RETIREMENT DILEMMA Dr. Ben Portnoy ponders the future of his bow ties. (Photo: Aimee McCrory)
Despite his Harvard/Johns Hopkins education, Dr. Ben Portnoy is anything but stuffy. In his waiting room sat a sign, pointing to his portrait. "Would you buy a used car from this guy?" Among the patient "giveaways" were black matchbooks that read "Keep smoking, it's good for business." Inside his own office, pigs – plastic, glass, stuffed, large, small – covered his desk and floor.
Before Ben became my primary-care physician, he, wife Cookie, and their three daughters were my next-door neighbors. Sadly, with his retirement in 2020 came the retirement of his bow tie collection. Gladly, among his many talents, Ben is a storyteller, who now has more time to commit some to paper. In this column, I want to share his thoughts on bow ties, but I wouldn't be able to say it better than Ben himself.
By the way, I showed my ignorance by asking Ben the definition of a four in hand tie as referenced below, suspecting I was setting myself up for some delightfully twisted response. What sartorial ignorance!
For those sartorially ignorant like me, it's just the standard long tie. I had to look up sartorial too. You're on your own on that one. Here's Ben.
Everyone has their own style, I suppose. Most people probably are not aware of their style and simply dress in a way that reflects the current fashion. You do not see many men now wearing bowler hats. It would be odd for a woman to go to a party wearing a hoop skirt, unless, of course, it was a Halloween party. We just deck ourselves out in a way that looks about right. I mostly fall into that category, but there is one exception – bow ties.
Ties are an item of clothing that appear to be going out of fashion. In hospitals, long before Covid struck, it was decreed that ties should not be worn. The fear was that the four in hand tie would dangle freely from the doctor's neck, touch a patient, and become contaminated. Then it would serve as a vehicle to spread infection. So, male doctors quickly shed their ties.
Among men in other professions, I note that ties are also disappearing. On television, it is not odd to see a reporter or talking head with an open collar shirt.
I have always favored bow ties and wore a bow tie daily. Bow ties are a bit sassy I think, and that is what has appealed to me. Over the years, I have bought many bow ties and have been gifted a fair number. I now have about 250 bow ties hanging uselessly in my closet. It is painful that after retiring I no longer wear a different tie each day. Formal events are now rare due to Covid, and, even at those rare formal events, I note that open collars are more in style. Does one wear a bow tie to the opera, to the theater, out to dinner, or to the synagogue? No one says that I shouldn't wear a bow tie to these places, and a tie is generally tolerated, but it feels funny if no other man is similarly dressed.
I am 77 years old now, and, inevitably, at this point in life one thinks about death. Questions like how long I will live, how I will die, and have I done all I want in life come up. But I barely pay attention to these questions. Whatever will happen will inevitably happen. But I do think about my ties. Should I pick out one to be tied around my neck after I am dead? No, that doesn't work either. We Jews are buried in a plain shroud, and traditionally coffins are not open for viewing. So, there's no use for a bow tie in this circumstance.
Oh, the troubles one faces in this life! Decisions are often hard to make, and what to do with my bow ties is certainly one of the most difficult. I will face this with my usual solution . . . procrastinate. The bow ties will remain hanging in my closet, and I will visit them there. Even not tied around my neck, these old friends make me happy.
What? Ben feels funny being the only one in a bow tie? Ben – who shows up for Christmas parties in a red and green yarmulke? At Halloween – the meat cleaver through his head?
As an Internal Medicine and Infectious Disease doctor, something about the bow ties, pigs, and funny matchbooks brought levity to those facing serious health issues. Ben was among the first doctors to treat Houston's earliest AIDS patients.
In 2009, I mentioned to Dr. Portnoy that I noticed I was walking slower and that I couldn't ride a bike anymore. An MRI revealed a brain tumor the size of my fist, a benign meningioma, followed by a 10-hour brain surgery by Dr. David Baskin at Methodist Hospital. Dr. Portnoy's frequent visits to my nervous waiting family in bow tie and jacket were a great comfort, my father said.
"You'll be fine," Dr. Portnoy reassured me before the surgery. He was right.

Niffy's owner contacted us after a broken bond between him and his brother caused them to attack each other and sustaining injuries. They were kept separate but it was very difficult to manage. Each will be bonded with a neutered female as rabbits must not live on their own. Niffy is neutered, micro chipped and fully vaccinated. A few words on Niffy: He shows a lot of interest in humans, for example when I am in the garage cleaning/feeding etc, he will always run over to see what I'm doing. He is a bold rabbit, torments our cat who is frightened of his own shadow. He has never shown aggression towards us including my 5 year old daughter. He is quite a little character and I always say he looks like he could be a secret agent, he looks like he's plotting something all the time. His nickname is 'the slipper' because of his low profile . Originally called Miffy, but this has changed to Niffy as that was the way my daughter pronounced it and it just stuck. Likes hiding in boxes and anywhere that is difficult for a human to catch him. Likes playing with a ball. Used to people being around him and other pets, but not being picked up and he will try to escape.
Housing requirement is a 'minimum' sized 6x2x2ft hutch with a minimum 'attached' 8x4ft run and freedom to a secure garden/alternative area for stimulation. Existing rabbit needs to be vaccinated against RHD1/Myx and RHD2 imore information available upon request.

Really new to trading, im trying to train my eye to the rsi indicator, so i use two horizontal lines at the 40 and 60 measurements to help put reference to the response in price action. I will attach a pic to show what im trying to explain. Anyways, i would really appreciate if someone can show/tell me how to make this a permanent fixture in my rsi, along with my default overbought/oversold lines. I have a lot of charts i look at, and its just one less thing i would have to convert every time i change time intervals or instruments in my charts.
if this isn't the appropiate section to ask, then could somone tell me where or whom to ask to get this setting to a default on my platform.
Unfortunately, drawing tools would not be able to be saved to a chart template.
What I would suggest doing is making a duplicate RSI indicator and modifying this duplicate to add your additional 40 and 60 lines.
Do note that the first letter of the color (Blue) must be capitalized and the name of the line (Line1) is wrapped in quotation marks.


I attended the wrap party for "I Heart Huckabees" last week, and most of the cast was there - including Mark! It was quite a night!
It was alot of fun, and I got lots of pictures with the cast, but I won't post them since I'm in them too....a little shy!!
But I was able to congratulate Mark on the new baby, and boy....Mark is adorable in person!!!
That's cool. Thanks for sharing and welcome.
Hey thanks for posting that. How cool you got to go! I don't suppose you found out what the movie is about - beyond what's already been posted that is? Hoffman was up here (SF) a few months ago and if I didn't have to work that day I would of tried to ask him at the film festival.
We were wondering if they had wrapped yet. I guessed they had finsihed before Labor Day given everyone's filming schedule. I take the party was the 4th or was that just an obligatory date on the pic?
Thanks GingerGrant. You must have had a great tiem.
Hello! Ginger Grant, that is so great. And thanks for the picture!
I am so excited about this movie! Especially because my two favorite actors are in it Mark and Jude Law.
Do you have any pictures with Jude?
I don't really know what the movie is about other than what I've read, and if I did, I wouldn't want to say. They like to keep these things a surprise.
The party was on the 4th...and it was a blast!
Jude wasn't there - he had finished filming some time ago, as did Naomi, so neither of them attended.
Those in attendance were: David O. Russell (director), Dustin Hofman, Mark Wahlberg, Talia Shire, Jason Schwartzman, Lily Tomlin, Kevin Dunn, Nora Dunn, and most of the crew.
There may have been other "celebs" there that I may have missed. Oh, and Robert Evans, a producer (Chinatown, etc) was there too.
Not to be rude, but who are you, that you were invited to something like that? Do you work in show biz? I can't imagine them just letting anybody show up. Was it by invitation only? Just curious.
I was an invited guest - invited by someone who worked on the film. No, not just anybody can show up.
Any news on when this film will be released??? Thanks.
Hey wow are you ever lucky to have had the chance to attend an event like that! That's soo cool. I am really looking forward to watching the movie in theaters (hopefuly real soon), because it has such a great cast. Especially my favorite actress, Lily Tomlin. Which brings me to asking a small favor (if it isn't too much trouble)...I was wondering if you have any photos of Lily Tomlin? because I am such a devoted fan of her's I'd really love a copy of the any. If not, that's okay. Thanks in advance. I really appreciate it.
The only pictures I have are of me with Lily, so I'm afraid I can't share them with you. If I had any of her alone, I would be more than happy to send you them. Sorry!

David Ernest Malloy is an American country music and pop songwriter, record producer and A&R executive with 41 number one hits. He had received multiple Grammy nominations, as writer and/or producer, and has worked with many artists and projects including USA for Africa, Tim McGraw, Dancing with the Stars Julianne Hough, Eddie Rabbitt, Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Kenny Rogers, Mindy McCready, Badfinger, and Tanya Tucker. Malloy received Grammy nominations for writing the songs "Driving My Life Away" and "One Voice". He received the BMI Burton Award for "Suspicions", a song he wrote with Rabbitt.

Early life

Music was a major part of Malloy's life from an early age. His father, Jim Malloy, is a Grammy Award-winning recording engineer. When Malloy was young, his father worked in recording studios around Los Angeles, but the family moved to Nashville when David was 13. Malloy took his first guitar lesson at 15 and immediately knew that he wanted to write and produce music for a living.

Music career
Malloy's first major success as a songwriter/producer came in a collaborative effort with country music artists and songwriters Eddie Rabbitt and Even Stevens.  Together they produced 16 number one hits.  The success Malloy experienced with Rabbitt laid the groundwork for production and songwriting work with artists like Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Tanya Tucker, Badfinger and Billy Burnette in the 1980s.

Recent work
Malloy worked in the A&R department of Columbia/Epic Records and then ran the Nashville division of Elektra Records, and was a producer at Elektra in Los Angeles. Malloy produced the Mercury Records debut of Dancing with the Stars' Julianne Hough. The CD entered the country charts at number 1 and at number 3 on the overall Hot 100 chart. He also enjoyed chart success with Tim McGraw's version of "Suspicions" (written with Rabbitt). Other recent projects include co-producing a beach-themed concept album, Edge of the Blue, with songwriter/producer Tim Johnson.

Teen Hoot and Nashville Hootenanny
Malloy is the creator of the new artist online platform Teen Hoot. The Nashville Hootenanny and a similar group for younger artists called Teen Hoot, are social media communities that offer quarterly world-wide streaming video broadcasts of young musicians. Teen Hoot videos are viewed over 50,000 times a month in over 150 countries. Artists who have appeared on the shows have gone on to perform on the Disney Channel, American Idol, America's Got Talent, The X-Factor USA, The Voice US and The Voice UK.

Detroit Diesel Corporation Joins Wayne County and Redford Township in Sponsoring New Splash Pad at Capitol Park
Ceremony marks official grand opening of new local attraction
DETROIT, Michigan – A collaborative project between Wayne County, Redford Township and Detroit Diesel Corporation (DDC) to install an aquatic play area in the Township came to fruition earlier today with the grand opening of the "Splash Pad at Capitol Park." Located across from the Redford Township Community Center at the corners of Hemingway and Capitol Streets, the Splash Pad comprises 3,000 sq. ft. and features 12 urban-themed water elements. It is a zero-depth aquatic play area where children can enjoy stimulating and interactive experiences in a safe environment.
"DDC is the largest employer in Redford Township and we strive to be both good neighbors and good corporate citizens in the community," said Carsten J. Reinhardt, President and Chief Executive Officer of Detroit Diesel. "Earlier this year, we approached Redford Township officials with the suggestion that we work jointly on a project to benefit the youth in our community. Wayne County also expressed interest in joining with us and the idea for a splash pad was born."
Splash pads are becoming popular in many local communities as they combine innovative design, play value and durability with safety, affordability and low-cost operation. With elements ranging from gentle mists to dynamic interactive play, splash pads offer entertainment for everyone. And the zero-depth surface, with no accumulation of water, eliminates the risk of drowning.
This aquatic play area was constructed by Engan-Tooley-Doyle and Associates of Okemos, Michigan, and took approximately 60 days to complete. In addition to the Splash Pad itself, the area also incorporates brick pavers, retaining walls and custom landscaping, as well as benches and picnic tables. The work was complete through the cooperative efforts of the following Redford Township Departments: Building, Community Development, Parks and Water,
"From start to finish, this Splash Pad project has truly been a cooperative effort," said Phil Cavanagh, Wayne County Commissioner. "Beginning with the joint funding from Detroit Diesel, Redford Township and Wayne County; to the design and development of the play area; to the hard work of all involved in its final implementation, it is the combined efforts of all involved that have made the Splash Pad in Redford Township a reality."
Detroit Diesel Corporation is a leading manufacturer of on-highway heavy- duty diesel engines for the commercial truck market. The company offers a complete line of engines from 170 to 515 horsepower for the on-highway and vocational markets. Through its corporate headquarters in Detroit, Michigan, Detroit Diesel is engaged in the design, manufacture, sale and service of these products, in addition to supporting alternative and hybrid engine strategies for the commercial truck marketplace. Detroit Diesel is a subsidiary of DaimlerChrysler and part of the Freightliner group of companies.

Q: what does tr, er, fe, an, pn,etc. mean in console? I'm doing a project by React with firestore, when I figure it out how to deal with data, I keep seeing these kind of words on console.
What do these words mean?

ArtStarts in Schools is pleased to announce that we have distributed $229,049.48 to schools across the province to bring artists into their classrooms. Artists in the Classroom grants funded 69 projects including 9 large scale projects of up to $10,000. This is the second of two intakes for the 2017-18 school year. To see the grant recipients from the first intake, click here.
The projects span British Columbia from Fernie to Terrace to Gold River for students from kindergarten to grade 12. Artistic disciplines range from opera to carving to spoken word. The 69 projects competed in a merit-based assessment of artistic quality, student engagement, curricular connections and project scope. Each project is unique; you can see a full listing of these projects below.
The students will look into the history behind carving and what it means to their cultural identity, learn and demonstrate how to draw basic native shapes and designs without the use of stencils or tracing techniques and how to safely handle and act around tools used for carving. The final layer in this multi-step project is for each student to transfer an image that they have designed, with relation to their culture, and carve it into a piece of either red or yellow cedar. Another exciting opportunity unique to this year is the building of this community's Bighouse. One of the locals in charge of organizing the carving for the Bighouse said, "it is planned that when we build the carving shed, it will possess lots of space for students to view or even contribute! The carvers have said they look forward to seeing students around while they work on the posts and beams." Seeing carving happen in the school is one thing, but seeing it happen and have a purpose in the community will give the students a sense of wonder and future purpose. Together this will serve as a wonderful means of cross-curricular connections.
With a focus on process and inquiry-based learning, students will use innovative littleBits technology and diverse materials to explore some of the big ideas in two of the New Media Gallery's upcoming exhibits. Students will develop an understanding of how artists create their own projects, then learn to incorporate technology into their own projects in creative and imaginative ways.
Throughout the process, students will be encouraged to develop critical thinking and creative problem solving skills. The focus is to introduce students to significant contemporary art, creative thinking and ideas connected with core curricular themes and then challenge them to develop their own creative projects using various levels of technology and materials while developing an understanding of the invention cycle and how to build and prototype through creative process and play.
Mine is an inter-disciplinary project that combines dance and sewing with story-telling and live music to explore consumption, globalization, materialism, identity, gender and queer expression, manufactured value, fast-fashion, history, culture and memory, using clothing as the common thread. It provides students with an opportunity to develop critical thinking skills as they investigate our relationship to clothing and allows them to communicate their ideas creatively through the exploration of applied and fine arts.
Through experiental learning, collaborative poetry and mixed media play, students will discover the many gifts of their local river. Beginning with a "wonder walk" to the Kaslo river students will take photos and collect natural elements to bring back to the classroom and create a wall of ideas. By inspiring curiosity and wonder through direct observation and experience, students will be encouraged to share ideas and investigate how rivers are essential to our community and our lives. The class will then be guided through a series of writing prompts using analogy and poetry techniques to collectively tell the story of their river. The culminating project will be to create a personal visual story on a wooden panel using collage and painting techniques, words, and natural elements (collected on their river walks). This work will be showcased in the school for all to see as a gallery exhibit.
Artists in the Classroom grants offer up to $3,500 for small scale projects and grants of up to $10,000 for large scale projects. Artists, teachers, principals and PAC representatives in British Columbia are eligible to apply. The next deadline to apply is May 25, 2018, for projects taking place in the 2018-19 school year.

Grand Rapids Area Man is Kent County's Newest Lottery Millionaire After Winning $9.3 Million Lotto Jackpot!
Posted on August 17, 1999	by Michigan Lottery
LANSING, August 17, 1999 — A Grand Rapids area man said he had to look at his winning Michigan Lotto ticket over and over again before he actually believed he had matched all six winning numbers, making him the sole winner of a $9.3 million Lotto jackpot!
The lucky man was the only Michigan Lottery player to match all six numbers in the August 14 drawing: 7, 16, 18, 30, 38 and 40.
"I checked the numbers on my ticket against those listed in the Grand Rapids Press," the winner said. "I just kept looking at the paper again and again. I wanted to make sure I wasn't seeing things that weren't there! I haven't told anyone, except my wife, that I won."
The Grand Rapids area resident, who requested anonymity, said he has been playing Michigan Lottery games for the past 15 years, and his favorites are Michigan Lotto and The Big Game. He purchased the winning Michigan Lotto ticket at Party House Party Store, 6572 S. Division, in Grand Rapids. He said he selected his winning Lotto numbers because "they hadn't been drawn in awhile."
The lucky man selected the lump-sum cash option payment for his winnings. He came to Lottery headquarters in Lansing to collect his one-time prize payment of $9,353,180, the present cash value of that day's announced $18 million jackpot, before taxes.
Prior to turning the winning ticket in, the winner kept it on a dresser in his house to ensure its safety. He said he doesn't have any definite plans for his winnings yet.
"The money will still be here tomorrow," he said. "This is all still sinking in — I need a little time to think about it. Money can't buy you happiness, but it certainly can give you more freedom!"
The faithful Lotto player offered the following words of wisdom to other Lottery hopefuls: "If you don't think it can happen to you — well, it can!"
The winner became the 26th Kent County resident in Michigan Lottery history to win a Lotto jackpot prize. The largest to date was an anonymous Wyoming resident who collected $21.1 million in the July 14, 1990 Lotto drawing!
Michigan Lotto drawings are conducted every Wednesday and Saturday. The expected jackpot for Wednesday's (August 18) drawing is $2 million.

M-BRANE: the basic membrane that is unbreakable and almost infinite elastic (stretchable). The M-Brane surface is in (constant) wave movement, thus oscillating. The M-Brane is considered a flat surface (2D) with two sides (an inside and an outside), but in an initial spherical (3D) shape. The rational for using a sphere is that it has no end when we look to the dynamics of it's surface. So the energy stored (1) is always conserved, but also (2) is dynamically redistributed over the surface.
The membrane represents Wu Chi, as a non-dual non-being substance or "pure energy". From our human view the total value seems zero, but this initial membrane is in a dynamic unbalanced equilibrium. The symmetry is reached in synthetic sense by the totality of outside and inside waves, be them restructured (coupled) or be them free (not coupled).
However by resturcturing in holons (local multi-layered spaces) the membrane doesn't stay a sphere, but it becomes a complex layered system with zones of single membrane ( like "empty" spaces in the universe) and zones with very compactified local holons (stars, planets, objects, humans, etc.).
SPACETIME: Spacetime is the Einsteinium expression of the M-Brane in a dynamic sense (movements in time). Where in GR spacetime is not a realworld event, in my approach it is. It's in every fundamental particle, multi-multi layered in every atom, in every molecule, in every cell.
As in GR spacetime 'ripples' or oscillates (waves like a table napkin moves in the wind or like the sea surface). In our concept spacetime is very dynamic. It is in CONSTANT movement. When on certain spots holons are created the local stretchability changes or deforms.
The 2D surface can - under certain conditions - restructure itself in local 3D topological spaces (called a holon). This is the creation of local Existence (Space), and it's related Time (of existence).
So a local Space-Time is created. But such a local space-time (frame/structure) is not absolute, but relative. It's in continuous motion. And it can decay.
Holons are similar to Einsteins frame of reference.
All sub-holons (sub-sets) created on or between membrane layers of that specific holon (as specific frame of reference) will respect the general motion of that holon, and will be tuned to the rules of that specific holon.
RESTRUCTURED SPACETIME: Restructured spacetime is the local coupling of parts of the M-Brane.
PELASTRATION: One of the ways parts of the M-Brane can interact. Pelastration is a coupling mechanism. The mechanism consists in the penetration of one part of the M-Brane by another part on the M-Brane. A pelastration creates a new discrete (or local) area where the penetrating part (active) is covered by the receptive (passive) part. The new multi-layered locality is called: a holon.
HOLON: A holon is a local discrete area where a least two layers of the M-Brane are coupled by a penetration. A holon is a sub-set of the M-Brane. A holon has non-commutative layers. A holon contains a part of each of the parent M-brane part or contains parent-holons. (Other names used on this website for a holon: a pellon, an island, a monopole, a cigar). Examples of holons: a fundamental particle, an atom, a molecule, a gene, DNA, a cell, the liver, a human, the sun, ... .
You can download a pdf-file showing how holons are created.
The 'traditional' holon approach does not know our double-layering or multi-layering structure and does not explain how holons might be created.
HOLON OSCILLATION: Holon oscillation is the totality of all oscillations inside a holon and eventually added by embedded outside holons, sub-holons, surface-contact with other holons, or by parent holons .
HOLON INTERACTION. Holons can interact in several ways. They can (1) pelastrate, (2) embed (infiltrate), (3) twin, (4) knot, (5) surface contact. By holon interactions there is transfer of energy, which provokes/cause new oscillations (effect) in other holons or inside a holon.
FRICTION: Friction is the kinetic dynamics that happens (1) inside holon between the inside ST layers, (2) between the outside ST-layers of contacting holons.
HOLON NETWORK: A network of holons is a group of holons which have on (at least) one level inter-connection which bind them dynamically and give a joint reaction of movement provoked by outside holons.
DIMENSIONS: Dimensions are the results of connections between holons and their perception (relative positioning) by observing participants.
OBSERVING PARTICIPANT: An observing participant is a complex holon structure that contains at least one sensoring sub-holon system which allows him to be aware of changes in other holons or of at least position changes of other holons.
PERCEPTION: Perception is the awareness of the observing participants of other resonant holons.
AWARENESS: Awareness is the possibility to capture resonant oscillations of other holons by direct contact of the holons involved, by intermediary holons, by embedded holons, or indirect by membrane oscillations of parent holons.
OSCILLATION MIRRORING: Oscillation mirroring is the surface interaction between two spacetime layers by which the oscillation-pattern of one layer is in surface contact with the other layer as a mirrored pattern.
INTER-HOLON KNOTS: Inter-holon knots are local pelastrations provoked by excitations in a spacetime layer of a holon by (1) another spacetime layer inside the holon, (2) by an outside holon or (3) oscillations of a spacetime layer of a parent holons. (i.e. knowledge knots).
MASS: a property given to local areas with a high number of membrane layers. The more layers a locality has the more density is reached, and such zone has less stretchability.
MEMBRANE CAUSALITY: The membrane being also a "conductor" of oscillations will inter-connect all holons, all sub-holons and the total system. Local holons can cause changes in other - very distant - other holons which seems to have no causal relationship to the observer/participant. (cfr. Jung's synchronicity, ESP, remote viewing, etc.). A post on superstringtheory.com.
MEMBRANE DUALITY: The membrane or spacetime can create on both sides (INside and OUTside) holons. To the inside observer the outside holons can not be observed but their gravitational effects can be measured by the deformations of spacetime. This explains dark matter or dark energy. In each holon - having several layers of membrane coupled internally - this duality is present. On this page with photo's you can see on photo's 8 and 9 how holons at the other side are invisible to us but provoke deformational effects on the (gravitational) brane.
VACUUM: In essence our concept does not need vacuum or ether to explain the creation of everything. Once the layer is in oscillation it can create locally holons. Everything is created by combinations of the basic holons. Kinetic energy becomes TD, EM, Weak and Strong Force. Local interaction create locally moves in the holon which influence also the other parts in the total system. It's a giant feed-back or push-pull system that is self-organizing.
TUNITY: Tunity is a combination of TUNE and UNITY.
Unity, the whole, together making a Whole.
So Tunity stands for universal vibrations by which we can communicate with each other and with Nature, and by which we are aware of being part of a larger Unity.
LIFE: Holons are multilayered. So locally, in a holon, local energies of the Membrane are converted in entangled or compressed surfaces. In such topological multilayered space these local energies are slowed down in their freedom of action. That's how yin energy is "fixed" by yang energy, making a joined structure (a union). In that union is energy is like cooled down, condensed, restrained (limited to move, jailed, caged). However the interactions between the layers - caused by the dynamics of the Mother membrane or parent holons - creates a secondary effect: friction (thermodynamic effects) and EM-effects (type of local dynamo).
ON THE BRANE: Topological holons are part of the membrane. Thus they are on the brane. Holons are created when two separate peaks on the membrane couple. Since holons are continuous with the membrane the holons are interconnected with the membrane and with all other holons.
In next first animated image is shown the creation of topological holons by membrane actions. The more layers a holon has, the more "mass" it will have.
In the second animated image - where the membrane is made invisible - is illustrated how holons - like viritual particles and fundamental particles leading to atoms and molecules (all holons) will pop-up from "no-thing". However they are caused by the actions of the membrane.

Sexual health is an important part of a person's physical and mental health. Sexual health leads to the healthy sexual life without any sexual dysfunctions, and preventive measures to avoid sexually transmitted infections. The adult population largely suffers from one or more sexual disorders such as dyspareunia, erectile dysfunctions, hypoactive sexual desire disorder, premature (early) ejaculation, and others. According to National Center for Biotechnology Information 2016, sexual dysfunction is highly prevalent, and affects around 43% of women and 31% of men, globally. Currently, various treatment options such as medication, mechanical aids, sexual therapies, and others are available for treating such sexual dysfunctions and to improve sexual health of the person.
Increasing incidence and prevalence of sexual disorders is a major factor augmenting growth of the market. Some of the major factors which cause sexual dysfunction are aging population, stressful and unhealthy lifestyle, and other psychological parameters. According to a study published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information in April 2016, hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) is present in around 8.9% and 12.3% women in the age group of 18 - 44 years and 45 - 64 years, respectively.
Moreover, robust product development activities by major key players is engaged in the introduction of innovative and highly effective drug treatment for improving sexual health.

Thus, increasing approvals by regulatory authorities are expected to drive the growth of the sexual health market.

Can anyone stop Novak Djokovic in 2016?
Dec 23, 2015 | Australian Open, Novak Djokovic
One man stood head and shoulders above the rest of the ATP in 2015, completely dominating the tour and breaking several records along the way. That man was Serbian world number 1 Novak Djokovic, with what was statistically the best season of his career and one of the best seasons in tennis history.
Starting 2015 in Qatar, Djokovic didn't have everything all his own way and was knocked out at the Quarter Final stage by Ivo Karlovic. That seemed to fire him up and he proceeded to reach the final of all 15 tournaments he played for the rest of the season. These included all four Grand Slam events, to make Djokovic only the third man in history to achieve this feat. His eleven titles for the season included a record breaking six Masters 1000 events, three Grand Slams and the end of season ATP Tour Finals.
On top of all the trophies, he also amassed a record amount of prize money in a calendar year ($21,646,145) and won 31 matches against top ten players. The only other defeats he suffered after the one to Karlovic were against Federer (3 times), Murray and Wawrinka. The man wasn't quite unbeatable but was as near to it as anyone is going to get in the near future.
The question coming into 2016 is, can anyone stop him from having an even better season?
The Serb will again start his campaign in Qatar at the start of January, where he will hope to have a better tournament than last year, before starting the defence of his Australian Open crown from the 18th.
The Australian Open is a tournament he has won five times, including four of the last five years, with at least a Quarter Final place every year since 2008. That is a great record which shows just how at home he feels at the opening Grand Slam of the year, with many already predicting he'll take the title home with him again this time around.
When looking at players to knock him off his perch, you obviously have to look at Federer and Murray but the Swiss star is getting on a bit in age and the Brit has a distinct psychological disadvantage against the Serb. Maybe someone new will emerge as a challenger for Djokovic but all signs point to another dominating year for the current best in the world, with him still determined to win all four Grand Slam titles in the same year.
