My son and I started planning our meals for the week on Sundays. After breakfast, we sit down and talk about what we want for dinner that week. He helps me write down the ingredients he remembers and I add the items he forgets.
Then, we go to the grocery store and pick out everything on the list. For him, it's a shopping bonanza! He gets to choose his box of cereal, help me pick out the produce while learning what to look for—I let him softly squeeze tomatoes to see if they're ripe and have showed him how to choose a good pineapple.
That afternoon, we start preparing food for the week. We'll cut up carrots and celery for lunchbox snacks and sometimes we'll bake bran muffins with fruit in them for breakfast on-the-go or after-school snacks. And we always make Sunday dinner together.
Now that we've started this tradition, he gets really excited for Sundays because it's a day of shopping, cooking, and eating! I'm just glad he enjoys helping and I get a chance to teach him little lessons, like how to measure and pick out fruit and veggies. He values his food more now that he gets to participate in the process.
This is a great activity and weekly tradition that you can start doing with your family. My colleague's son is four years old, so he can help with basic things like recalling ingredients in favorite recipes, measuring ingredients, and mixing ingredients by hand, but the older your child is, the more responsibility he or she can take on. For example, an 11-year-old could make the salad while a 15-year-old cooks the main course.
Try this activity this weekend and let us know how it goes in the comments below. Will you use it as an opportunity to teach measuring and math skills, or will you focus on the life skills like picking the right avocado and budgeting for your grocery run? Whatever lessons or skills you teach, this activity is also a bonding experience for your family, so have fun and bon appetit!
Forget the ties, money clips, and grilling tools. Father's Day is about more than cliché gifts for Dad. It's about saying 'thank you' for all that he does for you and the kids, and about creating an experience he'll remember for years. This Father's Day let your kids get Dad a unique gift or take a family outing that speaks to how special he is.
If Dad has or wants to grow a beard or mustache, elevate his look with a beard or mustache wax. It gives the facial hair more control and can soften the beard for better face-to-face cuddles with your child (and you!).
DIY isn't just for moms and kids. When Dad starts dreaming of carpentry and making his own chair or side table, encourage him to do it right with a woodworking class. If he already has basic skills, he can take a specialty class, like wood carving.
Bonus points for classes that are kid-friendly, so both Dad and his daughter and/or son can watch and help with the little things. If your child is a teenager, sign both of them up for a class so they can learn to build together.
Help him learn a new instrument or a new musical style with a music class. Local colleges and music schools offer classes for children and parents, as well as solo classes just for adults.
Register the novice for introduction to guitar or the advanced guitarist for a Beach Boys ensemble and he'll keep the tunes rocking at home. And if guitar isn't his thing, schools may offer classes in piano, harmonica, drumming, songwriting, and more.
If Pops is a social guy who likes having his friends and family hang out together, organize a mocktail party with your kids and invite family friends.
The kids can make the invitations and help you choose a menu with alcohol-free Bloody Marys, piña coladas, punches, and fizzes. Let them pick out napkins, plates, plastic glasses, and swizzle sticks from the party store. Serve cheese and crackers and a few easy-to-make appetizers, turn on Dad's favorite tunes, and celebrate!
For a Father's Day the sports lover will never forget, take the family to the Father's Day baseball game in your nearest city. Many ballparks have Father's Day games with special giveaways for kids. Get a picture near home plate and savor the memories for years to come.
Do you have a unique idea for Father's Day? Share it with us in the comments below.

Knitting or Knotless Netting
Last Updated on Fri, 12 Jul 2019 | History of Knitting
Dating the first knitted fabrics presents basic difficulties. Let us discard the undocumented conjectures about the knitted and not sewn robe of Christ mentioned in the Bible, or the reference to Penelope as a knitting woman. The oldest relics of the history of knitting are the socks and other small items of Coptic origin from the first centuries A. D. Nevertheless, D. K. Burnham has established on the basis of technological analysis that the collection of Coptic relics kept in the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto was produced by the knotless netting technique.1 Even earlier, M. Hald, while analysing Danish textile fabrics from the Bronze Age up to the early Middle Ages, established that these were produced by the same technique, although previously they were considered to be knitted items. She describes the knotless netting technique "as a king of sewing based on loops or meshes which can be combined in various way and presents about ten different solutions based on analysis of some kind of relics".2 On the basis of the analysis of a few Coptic relics preserved in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, I am convinced that the theory of D. K. Burnham is correct in this judgment. Nevertheless, all future determinations as to whether a particular sample from the oldest relics has been knitted or produced by knotless netting require individual technological examination. In my investigations only careful registration of these items was possible on the basis of literature or museum research. The oldest knitted items are kept in museums or church treasuries under glass which makes microscopic examination impossible. The present chapter provides information on the oldest knitted relics although after further investigation some of them may prove to be products of knotless netting. (II. 2)
According to some definitions of knitting, one need not place so much importance on the distinction between articles produced by knotless netting and those made with two needles. Knitting is understood to produce a texture composed of elastic rows of stitches made out of a thread of indefinite length by the use of two or more needles, or (more recently) a machine. Knotless netting was made with one needle and the left-hand fingers. In many European languages the name of this technique is in fact connected with the term stitch, e.g. in Spanish —puntos, in Italian — maglia, in German in addition to Strickerei and Wirkerei - hand and machine knitting, the term Maschen is also used. In English, to knit, knitting derives from the very activity,3 similarly as dzianie, dzianka, dzianina (knitting, knitted item, knitwear) in old Polish, wyazanije
- Russian, pleteny, strikowany — Slovak. The term for knitwear is sometimes derived from the most popular product in use, such as French — bonneterie, or Czech puncocharstvi. The technique of knotless netting was differentiated and explained only recently. O. Nordland identified 7-9 methods of twisting and knotting the yarn through in the creation of the fabric. I. Emery, in her compendium on textile techniques, distinguishes not only knitting with needles and crocheting, but also a number of techniques derived from the fundamental stitches in each of these techniques.4
Articles made by knotless netting fulfilled the same purpose as the hosiery of later days: they provided elastic and close- fitting coverings for hands, feet and head, of particular importance in a cold climate. They also protected the feet clothed in sandals only. The difference between knotless netting and knitting is well characterized by the Finnish country proverb: "he who wears knitted mittens has an unskilled wife".5 This differentiation comes from a country where both types of techniques are still in use. Knotless netting was much more time-consuming than knitting and required great nimbleness of the left-hand fingers replacing the instrument. A similar skill was also required in spinning fine yarn on the spindle. The time-consuming technique of knotless netting in the production of gloves, stockings and, less frequently caps, for personal use, is still being used in mountainous regions, particularly in Scandinavia. In Iran, footwear made at home by the knotless netting technique is being used to this day/5 However, this technique is linked with home production for personal use. Whenever the question of economic and technological calculation, the market profitability, is involved, certain qualities of knotless netting-such as greater strength, better compactness, smootheness and durability-are no longer appreciated. The mass demand for elastic garment items displaced knotless netting even from home production. The introduction of two needles instead of one long needle was the first improvement in the field of production of articles consisting of elastic stitches formed from a single thread, much longer in knitting than in knotless netting.
Investigations into the origins of knitting should centre on the analysis of all the excavation material from the territory of the Roman Empire. Despite the queries raised by D. K. Burnham on the origin of some Coptic knitted articles, other relics excavated in Egypt deserve further study. The question remains unclear whether the socks formed part of offerings to the dead or were used as foot coverings.7 Some of the Roman textile relics were recently investigated by J. P. Wild who describes as knitted fabric a fragment found on the territory of present Holland and dated to the end of the second century A. D.8 L. Bellinger considers also as knitted fabric relics from the period prior to the destruction of Dura, therefore, pre-256, kept in the Yale University Art Gallery in USA.9 Similar conclusions were also drawn about the knitted fabrics in English, French and Austrian museums.10 W. Endrei considers as knitted items the fragments of garments found by the Hungarian expedition in Nubia originating from the sixth and seventh centuries A. D. The Coptic linen socks from the sixth-eleventh centuries knitted in stripes with woollen yarn on top from Umelecko-Prumyslove Museum in Prague are knitted, while socks similar in appearance in the Hermitage are a product of knotless netting.11 On the other hand, women's stockings from the second century A. D. found in
Martres-de-Veyre and preserved in Clermont-Ferrand, are sewn from cloth.12 The leggings preserved in Delémont, are dated to somewhere between the seventh and the twelfth centuries.13 The earliest Scandinavian relics have been carefully analysed and judged to be products of knotless netting.14 It has also been established that the knitting technique was unknown in Peru before the Spanish invasion.15 Two ivory needles, each about 28 cm long seem to evidence the familiarity with knitting technique in ancient Gaul; one of them appears to have been broken. They were found in the neighbourhood of Nîmes and are dated to the beginning of the second century A. D. They may have been used for making fine silk tissues.16 This fragmentary data on the relics from the second to the seventh centuries are presented here to show primarily that further technological investigations are necessary to establish whether knitting spread over the territory of the old Roman Empire and later in the Mediterranean world.

Primitivism, Regionalism, and the Vernacular in Le Corbusier's middle years, 1929-1945
by Supasai Vongkulbhisal
Le Corbusier; Modern Architecture; Modern Vernacular; Primitivism; Regionalism; Vernacular; Architecture; History; architecture
This thesis examines Le Corbusier's middle years from 1929-1945, a period that is not often a subject of architectural historians' interest. This work is largely overshadowed by the two phases that represent the peak moments of Le Corbusier's career which are: the early years from the Maison Dom-ino (1913) to the Villa Savoye (1929) and the later years from the Marseilles block (1946) to the Capitol of Chandigarh (1952-1965). In studying this phase in Le Corbusier's career, it is fascinating that this connecting period reveals how the characteristics of his design progressed and were altered—from a focus on machine beauty to a humanistic approach. Three qualities stood out during the investigation of this mediation, which were; the architect's rational understanding of the three terms—primitivism, regionalism, and the vernacular; the architect's study of these three terms through a self-searching experience; and the gradual emergence of the second-phase of his modern architecture. The concrete realization of this process can be explicitly seen in his urban plans for North Africa and South America and his small-scale domestic projects in France starting from the late-1920s onward. Overall, this thesis attempts to understand the relationship and position of primitivism, regionalism, and the vernacular in modern architectural perceptions through the designs of a leading modernist architect, Le Corbusier and, at the same time, to understand the importance of the study of transitional phases in an individual architect's work.

Q: Ruby: no implicit conversion of fixnum into string Trying to solve one of the problems in Chris Pine's book. Asks users to input their first and last names, then it should display the total number of characters of both.
Here's one of many solutions I've come up with:
puts "First name?"
first_name = gets.chomp

puts "Last name?"
last_name = gets.chomp

total = first_name.length.to_i + last_name.length.to_i

puts 'Did you know you have ' + total + ' characters in your name ' + first_name + last_name + '?'

A: Ruby is pretty strict about the difference between a String and an Integer, it won't convert for you automatically. You have to ask, but you can ask politely:
puts "Did you know you have #{total} characters in your name #{first_name} #{last_name}?"

You can also do the math this way:
puts "Did you know you have #{first_name.length + last_name.length} characters in your name?"

The #{...} interpolation only works inside "double-quoted" strings, but it does convert to a string whatever the result of that little block is. Single quoted ones avoid interpolation, which is sometimes handy.
If you do want to concatenate strings you have to convert manually:
"this" + 2.to_s

A: Length returns an integer (no need to convert to_i) so change your code to this:
total = first_name.length + last_name.length

An early winter thaw and spring rain showers will put your sump pump to the test. Be sure the sump pump is working and the drain pipe is free and clear of debris. Never plug your sump pump into a GFI protected outlet. An undetected trip can terminate power to the pump.
Inspect the trees in your yard for winter damage. Cracked or hanging branches create a safety hazard to humans, pets and homes. Snow, ice and winter winds can damage the shingles on your roof. Do a visual inspection from the ground, then call in a professional roofer for repairs if needed. Check your exterior lighting systems for security and safety purposes. Heavy snow can damage landscape lighting fixtures and wiring.
Be sure all lawn furniture, trampolines and swing sets are secured. Spring storms can bring high winds causing these items to become airborne. Have a severe weather plan in place and a power outage survival kit ready. Tornados often happen at night. A UL approved battery back-up weather radio is always handy when threatening weather develops.
Make sure when grilling out to move the grill away from the house before using it. The intense heat can start a fire or distort siding. Store gasoline and flammable liquids in approved containers in a well ventilated area. Make sure holiday celebrations with fireworks don't create a fire hazard. Never store bagged mulch against the exterior wall of your home or garage. Bagged mulch can spontaneously combust in extreme heat causing a fire.
Schedule an inspection with a certified HVAC professional to ensure your air conditioning system is charged and functioning properly. Adjust the dampers in your ductwork to move the cool conditioned air to the highest level in your home. Cold air falls and this will allow your air conditioning system to run more efficiently. Adjust your ceiling fans to the forward position so that it spins counterclockwise (air flow down) to circulate cool air. Check your furnace filter more frequently in the summer. Opening the windows and doors can add to the airborne dust in your home. Your home will stay much cooler by closing the curtains or window blinds on a sunny day. The air conditioning system will operate more efficiently by maintaining the temperature inside your home.
Be certain to look for leaks on the first use of the garden hose or irrigation systems. An exterior frozen water line may be hard to detect until it's too late.
Have the mail and newspaper delivery stopped while on vacation. Set timers on various lights in your home to go on and off at different times. Leave your window blinds open so the house looks occupied. Have a neighbor check on the house while you're out of town and that it's OK if they park a car in your driveway for visual security. Closing all interior doors while you are gone limits smoke damage in the event of a fire. Turn the water meter off and set the water heater back to vacation mode or a low setting.


A reward of R6 000 is being offered for information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of a man who partnered an accomplice in stabbing a dog to death in Khayelitsha.
The incident, in which the man wielding a knife is seen on video stabbing the dog multiple times, while his accomplice pins it down, happened in full view of residents.
The brief and chilling video clip, in which the accomplice also adds a few parting stabs of his own to dying dog "Benjie", was emailed to the Cape Times by the Cape of Good Hope SPCA in Grassy Park.
SPCA spokesperson Belinda Abraham said the R6 000 reward comprised a R5 000 donation from the SPCA and R1 000 from animal lover Ellen Fedele.
Abraham said people coming forward with information would be assured anonymity and that the SPCA never reveals the names of complainants.
"Extreme violence against animals is becoming an all too common occurrence in South Africa. As a society we have to step up and demand that our courts serve higher sentences against abusers before more animals like Benjie suffer similar or worse fates," she added.
She said an SPCA inspectorate team identified one of the perpetrators and laid animal cruelty charges in terms of the Animals Protection Act No. 71 of 1962 against Sihle Mbambo. He was released on R500 bail.
Anyone with information is requested to approach SAPS Khayelitsha and quote case number 529/05/2018, said the SPCA.

Narrative, Gender, and Masquerade tracks the way the American novel of manners structures itself on representations of a pair of purportedly opposite and opposing women, the fair, innocent girl and the dark, tempting seductress. This opposition increasingly merges into sameness even as the novel in which it appears labors to keep the two characters separate in order to stabilize its textual architecture of thematic and formal binaries. Presenting itself as a text closely related to a social reality, the American novel of manners is structured as a masquerade: purporting to reveal as it conceals, conjuring readerly doubt as to the nature of both mask and reality. There are two main theoretical traditions in the study of masquerade. The first, the anthropologically-inflected cultural and literary historical approach to masks and masquerade, typically is applied to literary texts to explain religious and political historical exigencies as reflected in a given work of literature. The second, the psychoanalically-based theory of femininity as a masquerade, is most often deployed to use the text as a means of explaining the male gaze, desire, and gender performance. My reading of the American novel as gendered rests on dissolving the disciplinary borders between the two, thereby focusing reading on the form of the novel as well as its relation to its cultural, historical, and literary context. The novels I analyze situate women into stereotypical binary roles of the virgin and the seductress. These narratives register a duality between reality and representation that is analogous to the gender masking the novels take as their theme.

Cocaine addiction is a serious issue that may cause short-term & long-term ad verse, even irreversible effects on the body. The Effects of Crack Cocaine Addiction can be felt by everyone, not only the user, but also the people around them.
While the large majority of short-term effects don't appear all that bad (who would not need more energy & mental clarity, with a job that requires long hours) but, due to the nature of the drug, these short-term effects only last as long as the high itself – they wear off quickly, making the user need to continue using repeatedly which can lead to addiction.
As you can see, the short term & long term effects may cause permanent, irreversible, & deadly consequences on the body, making it imperative that those suffering from cocaine addictions get help immediately. The Effects of Cocaine Addiction Withdrawal can be even more extreme than the addiction itself, which means medical supervision may be necessary to make the change positive for you or for the you love to detox safely.
Enrolling in a Cocaine Addiction Treatment & Rehabilitation Program could mean the difference between having a life worth living & feeling powerless to a drug, or even worse – life or death.


Davidsen, Conny. "Oil Sands". The Canadian Encyclopedia, 03 February 2018, Historica Canada. https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/oil-sands. Accessed 20 April 2019.
The Canadian oil sands (or tar sands) are a large area of petroleum extraction from bitumen, located primarily along the Athabasca River with its centre of activity close to Fort McMurray in Alberta, approximately 400 km northeast of the provincial capital, Edmonton. Increased global energy demand, high petroleum dependency and geopolitical conflict in key oil producing regions has driven the exploration of unconventional oil sources since the 1970s which, paired with advances in the field of petroleum engineering, has continued to make bitumen extraction economically profitable at a time of rising oil prices. Oil sands are called "unconventional" oil because the extraction process is more difficult than extracting from liquid ("conventional") oil reserves, causing higher costs of production and increased environmental concerns.

Alberta's first commercial oil sands operation started in 1967. The exploration of oil sands significantly increased Canada's total oil reserves from approximately five billion barrels to an estimated 173 billion, meaning Canada has the third largest oil reserve in the world, with 97 per cent of the oil in the form of oil sands. The sands cover about 140,000 km2 (about 20 per cent of the province of Alberta, and roughly the size of the state of Florida). About 66 per cent of them have already been leased to companies for oil sands extraction (93,000 km2 as of January 2013). In 2012, oil sands extraction contributed an estimated $91 billion to Canada's gross domestic product, and over 475,000 jobs (three per cent of the nation's total) may have benefited to some extent. Over half of Canada's oil production currently comes from the oil sands (about 1.8 million out of 3.2 million barrels per day). Growth trajectories vary, but production may double in volume between 2010 and 2030 to 6.7 million barrels per day, with all growth coming from the oil sands.
Oil sands extraction occurs through two major approaches: surface mining and deep drilling called in situ. Surface mining first strips the area of the so-called overburden (i.e., vegetation, soil and earth layers above the bitumen), and creates large open-pit mines from which the bitumen is removed with shovels and trucks to be physically and chemically processed. Based on current technologies and their economic costs, oil sands operators use surface mining for areas where the bitumen is up to 70-100 m below the surface. For areas where the bitumen layer is deeper, in situ drilling is used. As the Latin term for "on site" suggests, this type of drilling leaves the vegetation and soil layers above the bitumen largely intact and instead pressure-pumps the bitumen to the surface after heating it underground. The technologies that made this method possible — steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) and cyclic steam stimulation (CSS) — marked the beginning of large-scale commercial in situ drilling, which significantly changed the dimensions of Canadian oil sands extraction from the early 2000s on.
Environmental impacts and concerns from oil sands extraction are multifold and affect the region as well as the planet. They include high carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions; regional air pollution; introducing toxic materials in the soil, water and air; loss of ecological habitat and biodiversity; water pollution; forest destruction; toxicity and seepage from tailings ponds; ecological restoration prospects after mining impacts; and high input of energy and water in general. Surface mining in particular has come under public scrutiny for its visible ecological impacts on the natural landscape. Over 715 km2 of boreal forest have already been destroyed or affected by oil sands mining and an additional 4,700 km2 have been licensed for surface mining (an area roughly 78 times the size of New York City's Manhattan Island). To produce one barrel of oil from surface mining, up to two tonnes of tar sands must be moved depending on the location, two to five barrels of water used and an estimated 35 kg of carbon dioxide are emitted. In situ drilling leaves the vegetation cover of the immediate extraction area intact, but it widens the geographic reach of oil sands extraction significantly into areas where the bitumen layers are too deep to be viable for surface mining. It has high environmental costs, too: every barrel of oil produced by steam-assisted gravity drilling causes an estimated 55 kg of carbon emissions and burns 28 m3 of natural gas. Over 88,000 km2 have been licensed for in situ drilling as of January 2013.
Related controversy arises from oil pipelines, such as the Keystone Pipeline system (Canada-US Gulf Coast) or Northern Gateway Pipeline (Alberta-British Columbia). These debates address concerns over potential immediate environmental impacts along the pipeline (e.g., possible spills, construction and maintenance), as well as the underlying long-term decision for or against oil sands commercialization and its related infrastructural commitment, economic trajectory and environmental implications.
Fort McMurray is the local economic hub of the oil sands operations. The region is associated with high regional employment and revenue, as well as with socio-economic disparities and social impacts. These impacts include high cost of living; transient community; "gold rush" effects; unbalanced demographic structure (i.e., the population is primarily male, and young); high dependencies of the local economy on volatile energy markets; and uncertainty of future budgets regarding social programs, infrastructure and environmental clean-ups. Located along the Athabasca River, Fort McMurray is upstream from the oil sands operations, while Fort McKay and Fort Chipewyan, two Aboriginal communities, are facing higher environmental impacts further downstream.
Bitumen deposits, oil sands and tar sands all refer to the same material. As controversy grew over their commercial extraction, political connotations emerged and "oil sands" became preferred by proponents of oil sands extraction because it emphasizes the final market product, while "tar sands" was used by its critics because it emphasizes the difficult extraction process and environmental problems of thick bitumen.
The environmental and social impacts of the Canadian oil sands have led to widespread debate and critiques over the scope of their future development. There are ongoing discussions about environmental regulations and ecological monitoring practices, decision-making and approval processes, distribution of economic benefits between Canadian taxpayers and foreign investors, as well as socio-economic benefits for the region. Canada and Alberta's carbon and energy strategies have also been called into question, as have the energy input and emission levels for the oil sands. For many, the subject underlying all of these debates is the global rise of energy consumption and demand, which has opened debates on ecological modernization and an energy transition to shift society away from petroleum dependency.

Judd Gregg: For a president, words matter
By Judd Gregg, opinion contributor — 02/05/18 06:00 AM EST
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself" — President Franklin D. Roosevelt
"The buck stops here" — President Truman
"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" — President Kennedy
"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall" — President Reagan
"I can hear you, the rest of the world can hear you and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon" — President George W. Bush
These are some of the phrases that defined the presidents who spoke them.
Those words gave the American people a hope and faith that their leader, the president of the United States, had the purpose, resolve and understanding to guide the nation through difficult and challenging times.
It is essential to the success of a president that he is able to lift our spirit — and that he enthusiastically conveys the message of optimism that is at the core of our culture.
In order to accomplish this, his defining words must not only resonate when they are said. They must also carry a consistent and lasting resolve.
Our people need to be able to believe and rely on the purpose behind those words.
It is said that President Trump Donald John TrumpCNN's Camerota clashes with Trump's immigration head over president's tweet LA Times editorial board labels Trump 'Bigot-in-Chief' Trump complains of 'fake polls' after surveys show him trailing multiple Democratic candidates MORE does not assimilate the information that affects his decisions through reading, but rather through audio and visual sources. If that is true, he is probably much closer to the manner of learning of the millennial generation than his own baby boomer generation.
One of the side effects of this manner of acquiring knowledge is that language is less attended. The arrangement of words is not as strong an influence. The use of language can become less effective and acute.
But it is still the case that, even in this "time of the tweet," the effective use of language defines purpose, attracts support and generates confidence.
More important is the need for there to be faith in the words a president speaks.
Even if some portion of Americans do not like or agree with a president — and that will always be the case, no matter who holds the office — he needs to be seen as having integrity behind his defining words.
In order to be accepted as a leader of purpose, both by those who support him and those who do not, a president must maintain the strength of his words by applying their themes consistently.
The president cannot be seen as taking his own definitional words casually. If he does, he will have no definition.
A president without definition, and the purpose that comes with it, will not be accepted as a capable leader of the nation.
Trump has given two well thought-out and directional speeches in the last two weeks.
One was at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he tried to reset his international image and agenda. The other was his State of the Union address last week, where he effectively set forth his causes and tried to reset his image as a uniter rather then a divider.
Yet even in these two well-prepared speeches, the language did not give a feeling of soaring purpose.
The president's excessive reliance on his tweets seems to have stolen from him the ability to use words to raise up his audience. This may change; he may arrive at a cadence that connects more personally with the nation's need.
Certainly, both speeches represented a new and welcome stride in that direction.
However, a concern remains. It resonates in the back of the head of everyone who listened to these two speeches; it is that he will not hold the positions or ideas set forth.
He will change his views, adjust his principles and move in a different direction with some future tweet or brief response to a shouted question from a reporter.
The words that define strong presidents cannot be inconsistent. But consistency does not seem to have found this president yet.
He may not believe it — in fact, it is obvious that he does not believe it — but time is running out for him to set a definition of purpose to his presidency.
If he is not going to waste this incredible opportunity to unite our nation, then he must continue what he has started with these two speeches.
He should use language the way it was supposed to be used. He should say what he believes in a manner that brings forth hope and gives direction to our nation.
He must stick with those themes of inclusion and strength he outlined in these two speeches.
His presidency needs this. More importantly, so does the nation.
Judd Gregg (R) is a former governor and three-term senator from New Hampshire who served as chairman and ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, and as ranking member of the Senate Appropriations Foreign Operations subcommittee.

Researching the uses of nanotechnology in medicine is challenging — but so is explaining how it works in basic terms in less than three minutes.
But, Nusaiba Baker has succeeded at both, winning first place in the Ph.D. category at the final round of Georgia Tech's 2018 Three Minute Thesis competition. Her presentation was titled, "Oral Delivery of DNA-enzyme Nanoparticles Ameliorates Inflammation in a Murine Model of Ulcerative Colitis."
Baker, a doctoral student in Biomedical Engineering, competed against several other Ph.D. students and three master's students in the final round of the competition on Nov. 7.

Upgrading to Snow Leopard or later requirements.
by: a brody Version 6 | 6501 Views | Last Modified: Jun 21, 2014
If you want Snow Leopard or later you need an Intel Mac.
If Apple menu -> About This Mac says PowerPC G4 or G5, you can't upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6 or later, and
you can't sync with iOS 6 or later. Upgrading to 10.5.8 from 10.5 is possible, and is explained on:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2275
If Apple menu -> About This Mac says Intel CoreSolo or CoreDuo you can only upgrade as far as 10.6.8.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2455 explains how.
You do not need Leopard to get to Snow Leopard.
If Apple menu -> About This Mac says Intel Core2Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon, you can upgrade to at least 10.7, but have to be careful about compatibility with Rosetta, as this tip explains:
Upgrading to 10.7 and above, don't forget Rosetta!
You do not need Snow Leopard to get to Lion on an empty hard drive if you have the USB Flash drive of Lion (10.7).
You do need 10.6.8 or later to install 10.8 or later.
For more limitations of Lion, see this tip:
10.5.8 is the most current operating system if you have a PowerPC G4 867 Mhz (G4 800 Mhz dual processor can't natively support 10.5 or later)
or 1 Ghz or faster, or PowerPC G5. 10.5 does not support Classic, but does support dual booting into Mac OS 9.
10.5 is the minimum for Intel Macs to support Boot Camp, the Windows virtualization engine.
No G5 is an Intel, and no Intel is a G5.
