What can I do to keep them reading?
You now have a child who has leaned the skills of reading and is probably quite successful at passing tests but are they using these skills to bring meaning to their world? Are they using them to investigate and research, and for enjoyment and communication? Bringing reading to their world helps with creativity, opens up their understanding of the current issues, allows them to form opinions and learn new things, and, with wide exposure, teaches them to filter out hearsay and innuendo. It is up to you to encourage a love of investigation.
Reading is an essential life skill and the sooner children get on the path to being independent readers the easier they are going to find school.
So much of what children do in class requires competent reading and comprehension skills. From an early age there is a lot of self directed instruction in classrooms and they need to be able to work in groups and individually, from written and verbal instructions. From very early on they will research internet based information and have to present their findings in writing and verbally.
Reading to them regularly allows them to enjoy the stories in books and novels that are above their reading capability.
Read a chapter a day after dinner.
Read along with them, filling in unknown words, so they get to feel the rhythm of the normal rate of reading.
Take turns in reading aloud – one paragraph, page, sentence or chapter each.
Allow them to read books of all difficulty levels. Don't worry if they choose "easy" books.
Encourage them to take a book to bed to read before "lights out". A bed lamp is a useful reading aid.
Encourage them to do real world reading as often as possible. Read street signs, recipes, ingredient lists on packaged foods, shopping lists, menus – anything and everything.
Talk, discuss, explain, sing – build their vocabulary and general knowledge. It is hard to work out a word if you have never heard it before.
Find some good reading apps.
Have them send emails or text messages to significant people in their life, like grandparents, to tell them what they have been doing.
Use a camera to take photos of events, put it on to a text document and write a caption. Using a program like Microsoft OneNote would allow them to document things that are important to them.
Using reading for enjoyment and to help them add to and decipher their world is its real purpose. They should begin to do this as soon as they are able.
How do I build reading skills?
Reading should be in context and for a purpose as much as possible but short, fun, focussed skill building sessions can be really helpful. Try not to let a skill session go for more than 15 minutes, but do them every day for best effect.
There are about 200 words that make up a large percentage of what we read. Being able to easily recognise each of these words will give them a lot of confidence.
You could use Dolch, Fry, Magic 200 or any other list. It doesn't really matter.
You can use flash cards, games, or an App like our Parrotfish Sight Words App for practice.
Phonics skills should be taught at the same time as Sight Words. This is much harder for parents to get right, a good phonics app (Parrotfish Phonics introduces the sounds in the accepted order) will help. Start with single sounds then as they know some of them use them to build simple 3 letter words such as cat, ham etc then sh, th, wh, qu, ch, then progress to longer blended letters. From here there are the pairs of letters such as oa, ea, ai, ar, er, ..
Blending – when shown a word they say the sounds and join them together to "sound out" the word.
Segmenting – they write or tell you the sounds that make up a word that is said to them.
Write a sentence, read it with them then cut it up. Get them to make the sentence. Ensure they read it to see if it makes sense.
See if they can make other sentences with some, or all, of the words.
Make the sentence and hide one of the words. Have them read the sentence and work out what is missing. Think of any other words that could make sense.
Don't forget real world situations. Look at road signs, shopping lists, signs and labels anything that is written. Learning to read is like learning any other skill, it is made up of sub skills that all need to be learned and practised. The more practice they get the faster they will progress towards mastery and the better they will cope with learning in other subject areas.
What signs to I look for in a developing good reader?
Do they read easy texts smoothly?
If a child's reading is slow and laboured or they take an abnormal amount of time to work out most of the words it is difficult for them to understand what is being read. The book is too hard for them. Find an easier book, they are going to be reading for meaning first and foremost so need to be able to read enough of the text to get some meaning from it.
Do they know most of the words?
If a lot of effort is being put into working out many of the individual words then the book is too hard and they may need to work on their sight words. There should be a certain amount of fluency or meaning is too hard to grasp and that, after all, is the purpose of reading.
Do they use a variety of strategies when they come across unfamiliar words?
Do they understand what they're reading?
Look for the following signs. A normal child won't sit and stare at a book for any length of time without actually reading or engaging with it.
Do they read alone and engage in the reading (ie laughing etc)?
Can they answer a few questions about a piece of text they have read?
Helping your child in their progress to becoming an independent reader is an investment in their future and it can be fun and rewarding for both of you. It is important that they see you read and interact with texts. You are their first and most important role model.
Where do I get the word list?
Get a word list from the child's teacher, download them from the resources section of our web site, www.parrotfish.com.au or do an internet search.
Make 2 copies of each sheet, preferably on card or something that you can't see through. Cut out the words.
Lay all the cards face down. Take turns, turning over a pair of cards, read each one, if they don't match turn them back face down and try again. If the words match, the person who made the match takes the cards. The player with the most cards at the end of the game wins.
Cut each of the words in half horizontally. Have the child match the tops and bottoms of the words together. For initial support use the back boards to build the words on, later move on to building them without the base board.
Cut each of the cards up into 4 parts like a jigsaw. Have the child reassemble the words and glue them onto a piece of paper. For added support match them and glue them on to the whole word.
Print out a couple of sets of letters of the alphabet. Use a font that is similar to what is being taught at school, later pick some different fonts to assist with generalisation and awareness of different letter shapes.
Make the words out of the letter cards. Start with a small set of letters – just the letters in the word, then build up with a few extra letters, then later with a full alphabet.
Look at a word, remember it – build the word out of letters without the cue card, as suggested start with a few letters. When the child gets stuck allow them to look at the word again and again try to remember it and turn it face down again before continuing.
Look at a word, say and memorise it. Tell the child to shut their eyes and remember the word then look at it again.
Hide the word then ask the child to find the word on the base card. Look again at the word card and check to see if it is right.
Make up sentences using the sight words cards. Use some of the blank ones to add the child's own words. Jumble up the sentence and have them rebuild it.
In the early stages you may need to write the sentence so they can match the words to the sentence.
Print out the word list in your selected font.
Pre-test the child prior to commencing on the Parrotfish Sight Words Game App. Check progress each one to 2 weeks.
Provide the list to the child to use as a spelling resource when writing.
Parrotfish sight words app is available in the Amazon, IOS and Android stores.
My Child is not reading well – is there a problem?
I was recently asked what to about an 8 year old child whose reading was not bad enough to warrant remedial help at school yet his mother felt that he wasn't a competent reader.
By 8 many children are capable of reading independently. "The Hobbit" and novels of a similar difficulty would not be outside the interest or capability of many 8 year olds and yet standardised reading tests do not expect children to be able to read at this level.
The problem is that if they can't read well by this age they often falter in increasing their reading skills and they just seem to stop progressing. There is very little targeted reading skill instruction in the primary years so many of these children go on to have difficulty completing work in later years. They can read – sort of – but so much energy and time is expended in reading that they struggle to complete tasks that involve reading.
Go for your gut feeling here. There are lots of tests but if something is worrying you then you are probably right.
Listen to them read a real book, is it smooth or are they taking time to think out more than 20% of the words?
Do they understand what they are reading – ask what the page was about?
Do they read alone or become "wrapped" in a book? If they giggle or share funny bits with you then you know they are understanding it. Not many kids will spend ½ an hour reading quietly if they don't get it!
Check out their sight word and phonics knowledge. There are plenty of resources on the web. You will probably find that they are stronger in one area than the other and have learnt to rely on that skill only. Work on both.
Find out what their strengths are, capitalise on them and use them to build confidence but also work on their weaknesses. Let's try to build those pathways so they can use all the reading / decoding strategies available to them.
This sight words app should be used in conjunction with a systematic decoding program and exposure to lots of literature to teach that meaning and enjoyment is of utmost importance and the real reason we learn to read.
For a child to read fluently they must be able to decode efficiently and have a good body of instantly recognisable sight words. This frees them to spend their energy on comprehending the story.
A good bank of sight words which can be recognised instantly, helps students gain success in reading. It gives them a structure around which to build other skills such as comprehension and decoding, and the confidence to take risks when reading texts.
Most children will never need to be taught to the end of the list of 200+ words, as once they are really reading, many words will be learnt in context.
Don't force competent readers to continue on through the list, and certainly not in one year. It could take some learners 2 to 3 years to get through the list, typically the entire 200+ words should be mastered before the child is 8 years old, however, competent learners will know them all much earlier.
You don't need to wait until the child starts school, you can start introducing a child to sight words in the year before going to school.
The basic sight words make up about half the words that the beginning reader will be exposed to in their reading and writing so being able to recognise them quickly and write them easily is a big step to becoming a confident reader. A child should be able to read the majority of words in a text before they are asked to attempt to read it, so having a bank of words they can recognise allows them to concentrate on meaning.
Where do I find the Sight Words List?
There are lots of different lists of sight words – Dolch, Fry, and Magic 100 are most commonly used in schools. There are about 100 basic words but the lists can go on to up to 350 words.
An internet search will provide lots of lists or see the links at the end of this article for lists to match our Parrotfish Sight Words App.
What are the lists different?
Sometimes these lists will be ordered in years that the child will be learning them and sometimes in order of frequency in the written language. Although many of the words on the lists may differ due to the year that they were developed, the geographical location, empirical data and samples used, it doesn't really matter what list is used. What is important is that the child is learning to use memory skills and developing strategies to memorise these words. These strategies will later be applied to lots of different learning situations – not just reading.
Parents can assist this learning by practising the words with them using games and getting them to read the words from flash cards at increasing speed. See my article on "Ideas for Learning Sight Words".
Our app-Parrotfish sight words has 6 different games that require different reading strategies. This app has been proven to work, is great for practising the words and gives immediate feedback.
The child has to match words in bubbles to the words on the fish by dragging the all matching words on to Peter the puffer fish. For each word correct the fish blows up a little. A second, red toned fish follows, it carries the same word but moves a bit faster. The red fish is a bit tricky, we are building instant recognition.
This is a classic memory game. They tap 2 cards, read and remember where they are to find the matching words. The words are repeated each time they are turned over and again before they leave the screen. Loads of repetition here.
The whale comes on the screen and the word is repeated a couple of times. It then disappears and 5 fish appear each with a different word. The child has to identify the word that was on the whale.
The star says a word. The child has to find the word that Stella says and drag it on to her. They can tap Stella at any time to hear the word again.
The crab holds up cards showing the word shape. The word is written below the cards. The letters that spell the word need to be dragged onto the cards in the correct order to spell out the word. They can tap Clara to hear her repeat the word.
This requires memory and logic. There is a word shown on the egg, it slowly disappears but can be shown again by tapping it. They are to read and remember the word in Edgar's egg then only tap the words that don't match the word in the egg. The egg grows and hatches.
These ideas will help kids spell, identify and remember their sight words – the activities are grouped in order of difficulty.
Being able to spell the words correctly isn't necessary but since these words make up such a large percentage of our written language being able to write them will help with confidence in written tasks.
Rainbow words – Write the words and trace each one in lots of different colours – use pencils, textas, chalk . .
Spaghetti words – write the words then cover them by making the letters out of cooked spaghetti, wait for the spaghetti to cool – no burnt fingers please!
Snap – This is good for revision, you can use all the cards from previous weeks. You need at least 2 copies of each word card. Split the deck among the players. Take turns putting the top card down on a centre pile as they say the word. If the word matches the one previously played anyone can call "SNAP" and place their hand on the pile. They get the pile of words. The person who has most words at the end of the game wins.
Write it how? – use a large piece of paper, write it big, write it tiny, write it sideways . . .
Sand Paper – On the beach, in the dirt, take any opportunity – write the words with a finger, with a stick . . .
There are lots of Apps and computer games that teach sight words. A search on any of the stores will give you plenty to choose from.

Q&A: Hearst Magazines' New President Troy Young On What Print Means to the Company
'Print remains really important to us'
By Sara Jerde
Troy Young was named president of Hearst Magazines today.
Hearst Magazine
Troy Young was named to succeed David Carey as president of Hearst Magazines today. In the more than five years Young worked as president of Hearst Magazines Digital Media, he transformed the digital brand to more closely align with the print product, brought in revenue and a surge in pageviews.
"David built an amazing company," Young said. "The company is extraordinarily well-managed and financially sound and built around the idea of continuous evolution. That's the part that makes this easier."
Here's his plan as Hearst Magazines' new president:
This interview has been edited for clarity and length.
Adweek: I know this is Day 1 for you, but what are your priorities moving forward, both in the longer and short-term?
Troy Young: It is Day One, Sara. I couldn't be more excited … We're a content company. I say that because I sometimes worry that the term 'magazine' can put you in a box. And we're a content company and that's been true for many years. The opportunities for content in the era we're in now [are] vast.
So, I'm really excited, the first opportunity, always, is how do we service consumers better and how do we make our products as good as they can be? How do we do that in video, in digital, in voice and in print? Print remains really important to us and I think we have to, just like every company of our kind, print is a wonderful differentiator and we have to think [about] what role it plays in people's lives as it sits alongside a mobile phone.
Our business is very ad-dependent, and that's OK cause we're really good at serving advertisers, but we have to think about revenue diversification. It's not just like you start with a bunch of subscription offers. You have to think of what the value of a consumer is in a digital-print era. And that's incredibly hard and really exciting and you have to have a really great team to do it, and I think we can.
I really am excited in the area of commerce and in data, and what we found is that our content leads to purchase. And we've built a lot of really interesting systems to get really, really good at that. That also creates a huge amount of data because you understand what people are buying. The retail environment is shifting massively and we need to play a really big role in that shift.
Especially coming from a digital background, what experiences do you uniquely bring to the position?
Well, I'm a media person first and have been my whole life, meaning I have a veracious appetite and interest in consuming media and understanding why consumers need it. The good thing is that our business is shifting in that direction and I understand every aspect of what it takes to build a modern digital and print media company.
I have a lot to learn from my colleagues around how we should be thinking about print, and what an exciting opportunity that is for someone like me. But the nice thing about having 25 years of digital experience is that that part of it isn't a challenge.
This was a big year for media acquisitions and mergers, including Hearst–which acquired Rodale titles in January. What's your perspective on your current roster of titles?
I love the Rodale titles. There's a real service focus and they play to people's passions, whether that's running or cycling and women's health and prevention. I think in a digital age, having brands that serve people's passions and serve people's need to evolve and change and improve their lives is a real advantage and that was the underlying thesis surrounding the Rodale acquisition and I think it's being proven out.
To loyal readers of each of the print titles, what can they expect from you and Hearst Magazines?
We're going to serve them extremely well.

How Can We Be Successful in College?
There's no person on earth who does not want to be successful in life. We see so many people on Instagram and outside the cyber world doing unbelievable things, and we feel like we want to be as successful as those lucky ones. Just like in adulthood, young boys and girls want to be successful in college. So, the question is the following – how do we overcome all the hardships and keep on moving? How can one be successful as a college student?
When in college, most students share the same idea of being successful, which is getting high grades, eating healthy, workout regularly, and being socially active. Today we will find out how to be successful during your college years.
As a college or university student, your institution definitely provides you with an opportunity to attend the gym for free either off or on campus. The gym is a great spot to exercise on a regular basis since there you will be able to attend fitness classes and use equipment. However, you don't always have to get a gym membership. There are some other exercises that you're free to do in your own dorm room at any time you feel comfortable. Make sure to find some recommendations on regular exercises on Pinterest or Google.
This might sound pretty obvious, but you have to study a lot. If you fail to do so, do not expect to get the desired grades. It is important to be an active participant in class, do homework assignments within the deadline, attend office hours, and have regular study sessions at home. When you take part in office hours, you prove that you're trying hard to master the materials and excel in your professor's class. Thus, your tutor will be there to help you with tough assignments or explain some difficult concepts because he or she knows you've done your best to build a solid relationship with them.
Eating healthy is a tough task for those who live on campus. More often than not, college students prefer junk food over healthy food options. Do not hesitate to contact your college nutritionist and get a professional piece of advice when needed. The other excellent option is to find your 'colleagues' who is studying nutrition. Not only such people are passionate about the topic, but creating a detailed nutrition plan for you would become a perfect opportunity for them to excel in class! Just a quick recommendation here – always have some veggies and fruits with you to have a healthy snack on the go.
Attending college, having a part-time job, and somehow keeping up with your extracurricular activities can seem mind-blowing at first. But here are ways that you can handle that with ease. Use your calendar to keep track of work schedule, deadlines, dates bills are due, and other issues you deal with every day. Know the hours when you have the most energy. Deal with the most demanding assignments and tasks at that time.
College might drive you crazy every single day. In order to avoid burnout, make sure to contact a trustworthy essay writing service from time to time when things are getting extremely tough. There's nothing wrong or illegal if you want to have some extra hours of sleep and rest, and decide to delegate some of your urgent tasks to the know-it-all person. All in all, it's your mental and physical well-being that matters most.
After working on college essays and lab reports, getting ready for tests and exams, working out at the gym, and having a coffee date there might seem like very little time to be actively social. But impossible is nothing! A superb way to be socially active with your peers is to participate regularly in on-campus organizations and clubs. The reality is that it will look eye-catching on your CV, as well as provide you with an opportunity to interact with other undergraduates that, in turn, will help you socialize.
Being successful in college can be either difficult or easy. Everything depends on the way you make it. If you ensure to take simple steps towards your goals, you will stay motivated and enthusiastic as you feel a sense of accomplishment.


M&N Plastics in SterlingHeights, MI is a leading supplier of custom functional plastic injection molded products where attention to detail is critical to their continued success.
Three years ago M&N, like so many other companies, switched from traditional Metal Halide High Bays to more cost effective T5 fluorescent fixtures. Degradation of the tubes and constant ballast issues made it necessary for M&N to also use several of the old MH High Bays. M&N now needed both lighting technologies to maintain a satisfactory light level.
M&N replaced their original MH High Bay Fixtures and the newer T5 Fixtures with Lumerica LED High Bay Fixtures. By replacing 90 fixtures with 72 LED fixtures, the energy savings became significant. M&N will be saving over $17,000 annually in energy alone and another $3,000 in maintenance. Total payback will be 1.25 years with first maintenance schedule at 8+ years.
Lumerica's LED Light Fixtures are also completely modular and serviceable to last another life cycle. No need to replace the entire fixture, just replace the necessary part at the end of life cycle.
"We take tremendous pride in our employees and the work they do. We now have state-of-the-art technology to help us continue to build on our reputation. Our facility is now a showpiece.
Reduced lighting electricity consumption by 61% saving $17,200 annually.

Home>TV> Eddie Murphy's Leather "Delirious" Suit Was Destroyed By Keenan Ivory Wayans
Eddie Murphy's Leather "Delirious" Suit Was Destroyed By Keenan Ivory Wayans
By Erika Marie
Eddie shared that the suit helped Keenan create his famous "In Living Color" character.
Fans are still reeling from watching Eddie Murphy revive some of his most famous Saturday Night Live characters on this past weekend's episode. The famous comedian returned to the stage that helped make him a star and brought in the highest number of viewers the series has seen all year. Ahead of his Saturday Night Live performance, Eddie sat down with The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon to chat about his return to comedy, a discussion that prompted an interesting story about Keenan Ivory Wayans.
Fallon asked Eddie about his preparations to return to the stand-up stage in 2020 and the comedian revealed that he doesn't write down his material. Then, Eddie admitted that he no longer has the leather suits that he wore in his stand-up specials Delirious or Raw. He keenly remembers what happened to the red suit he wore in Delirious and its demise courtesy of Keenan.
Eddie said he didn't care about the outfits because he had no idea that they would one day be his signature looks. He doesn't know what happened to the Raw suit, but he said that he and Keenan, a friend he's had since he was 16, were getting ready for a night on the town when Keenan saw the red leather suit in Eddie's closet. "Keenan's like six-four with muscles [and] the suit was bustin' off him," Eddie recalled. "I said, 'I dare you to go out with that suit on! This was back in the day so we went to Studio 54 and all these clubs."
Eddie also shared that Kenan's classic In Living Color character Frenchie was birthed out of that night while wearing that suit. "That started from going to the club one night and he was Frenchie from ten to six in the morning and didn't come out of character...At the end of the night, the suit was destroyed." The actor added that girls would later call looking for Frenchie, but Keenan told him he couldn't talk to these women because he was pretending to be someone else. Keenan actually shared this same story years ago, so watch Eddie and Keenan tell their versions of the Frenchie tale below.

Opera, TechniSat and Verimatrix provide smooth TV browsing for operators
Tuesday, January 7th, 2014
LAS VEGAS — Opera Software, together with TechniSat Digital, a leading consumer-electronics manufacturer, and Verimatrix, a specialist in securing and enhancing revenue for digital TV services, today announced that the latest TechniSat hybrid set-top boxes (STB) will be powered by the Opera Software Development Kit (SDK) and protected by advanced Verimatrix security solutions.
Opera Software and TechniSat have been partnering for years to deliver STBs powered by Opera's web technology. This long-standing collaboration now brings TechniSat hybrid STBs, with a DVB-C tuner subsystem operating in conjunction with over-the-top (OTT) video service support, and offers a friendly interface for browsing web content and video sources on TVs. Opera's SDK brings support for HMTL5-based middleware, as well as the rendering of commercial OTT video content, to TechniSat devices.
DVB and OTT pay-TV services, available via TechniSat STBs, are protected by a hybrid Verimatrix Video Content Authority System (VCAS) security solution, using the award-winning ViewRight ONE security client. The solution provides cardless protection of QAM-based broadcast services and direct support for enhanced HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) secured services through a native HTML5 video tag. The integration of ViewRight with the browser's native HLS stack gives efficient support for commercial OTT video services using the world's dominant video-streaming format. The IP-hybrid STB, which enables seamless blending of broadcast and internet-delivered video, is a natural way to combine the growing range of HLS services with the efficient MPEG hardware support of STBs and other devices.
With the new TechniSat STBs, cable operators gain ready-to-deploy products that support modern web standards and premium and secure OTT services for viewers. This solution can also be customized to match operators' needs, including the integration of further options, such as Opera's HbbTV solutions, portals and services, including the Opera TV Store.
"Top-notch security and a seamless web TV experience are simply must-haves in the TV world today," says Aneesh Rajaram, Senior Vice-President for TV & Devices, Opera Software. "Opera's standards-compliant browser engine and TechniSat's solid platform and performance, together with advanced revenue security from Verimatrix, make the latest TechniSat STBs a perfect choice for operators."
"For operators transitioning to a hybrid network, a standards-based approach provides the most flexible options when planning their technology infrastructure and business models. Our OTT video partner ecosystem, which includes progressive providers like Opera and TechniSat, reflects this approach and guards against proprietary technology lock-in," says Petr Peterka, CTO, Verimatrix. "Verimatrix VCAS is an ideal solution for this integration to meet the security requirements for multi-platform video delivery."
"Operators are increasingly looking to HTML5 as the standard for delivering rich multimedia content over IP/DVB networks, and we remain dedicated to delivering the best to our customers," says Udo Scalla, CEO of TechniSat Digital S.A. "Our most efficient set-top-box architecture is able to run the robust Opera HTML5 browser and ensures a most compelling and optimized STB solution for our OEM and operator customers. We are convinced that Opera and Verimatrix are the right partners to develop a future-proof STB for any market."
The Opera Devices SDK powers the web experience on tens of millions of devices made by over 50 customers, including Sony, Samsung, TiVo, Humax, Arris, Cisco, Amino, TCL, Sharp, Vestel and Altech.

Les Élections municipales de 2014 à Thiers se sont déroulées les 23 et 30 mars 2014. L'élection du nouveau maire de Thiers, Claude Nowotny, est intervenue le samedi , lors de la première réunion du conseil municipal de Thiers suivant le scrutin.

Mode de scrutin
Le mode de scrutin à Thiers est celui des villes de plus de  : la liste arrivée en tête obtient la moitié des 33 sièges du conseil municipal. Le reste est réparti à la proportionnelle entre toutes les listes ayant obtenu au moins 5 % des suffrages exprimés. Un deuxième tour est organisé si aucune liste n'atteint la majorité absolue et au moins 25 % des inscrits au premier tour. Seules les listes ayant obtenu aux moins 10 % des suffrages exprimés peuvent s'y présenter. Les listes ayant obtenu au moins 5 % des suffrages exprimés peuvent fusionner avec une liste présente au second tour.

Ces élections municipales 2014 sont les dernières élections françaises pour lesquelles le vote blanc n'est pas reconnu :

Contexte

Les élections municipales de 2014 à Thiers marquent la candidature du maire sortant qui est élu depuis les élections municipales de 2001. C'est-à-dire que la liste « Fiers de Thiers » menée par Thierry Déglon est majoritaire au conseil municipal depuis cette date.

Tournant de 2001

La gauche perd la ville après  de présence du Parti socialiste au conseil municipal ; parti représenté par Maurice Adevah-Pœuf depuis les élections municipales de 1977. Ce dernier est élu député de la Cinquième circonscription du Puy-de-Dôme (dite de Thiers-Ambert) à quatre reprises. Le premier mandat a lieu entre 1981 et 1986, le deuxième entre 1986 et 1988, le troisième entre 1988 et 1993 et le quatrième entre 1997 et 2002.

C'est en 2001 que la ville connaît un véritable tournant politique. En effet, le maire sortant présent depuis 1977 ne remporte pas les élections municipales de 2001 face à Thierry Déglon.

Reprise de la ville par la gauche

Seule la municipalité reste apolitique entre 2001 et 2014 En effet, la circonscription reste à gauche avec Maurice Adevah-Poeuf puis André Chassaigne entre ces deux dates. Le Canton de Thiers, lui aussi reste coloré à la vague rose, représenté depuis 1998 par Annie Chevaldonné, une ancienne adjointe à M. Adevah-poeuf au conseil municipal.

L'élection municipale de 2014, gagnée par la gauche avec Claude Nowotny marque un retour vers cette idéologie qui reste présente depuis le début du  dans la ville.

Candidats
Quatre candidats se sont présentés pour l'élection. Thierry Déglon s'est présenté en tête de la liste « Fiers de Thiers ». Claude Nowotny s'est présenté en tête de liste « Ensemble pour Thiers », Tahar Bouanane pour la liste « Osez Thiers » et Hervé Torregrosa pour « Bien vivre à Thiers ». La gauche est représentée par ces trois derniers tandis que la représentation de la droite et du Front national reste très discrète. Seule la liste « Fiers de Thiers » semble être apolitique bien qu'une partie de ses membres soient adhérents au parti des Républicains.

Ochsner Health System, Jefferson Parish and the Louisiana Workforce Commission (LWC) recently announced plans to expand Ochsner's Medical Assistant (MA) Training Program in Jefferson Parish. The program, which will host its first session in January 2018, is tuition-free and open to Jefferson Parish residents ages 18-21* through funding provided by the LWC. January 2018 session enrollment is now open.
Launched in New Orleans in 2013, the six-month MA Training Program, beginning January 29, 2018, features accelerated classroom, clinical and on-the-job training and addresses both the need for Certified MAs and to build additional career pathways. The program includes certification training for students in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), Phlebotomy and EKG.
All interested applicants are required to attend one of two informational sessions open to the public on Monday, December 11, 2017.
Applications for the MA Training Program are due Friday, December 15, 2017 in the Jefferson American Job Center in Metairie (1801 Airline Drive, Ste. F) or Gretna (1900 Lafayette Street) by 4:00 p.m. The Jefferson American Job Center will recruit applicants for clinical MA training, located in the Shrewsbury Community in East Jefferson.
To be eligible to apply, the applicant must have a high school diploma or equivalency, successful completion of drug screen and criminal background check and ability to commit to the six-month program. After successfully completing the program and hiring requirements, 100 percent of graduates will have the opportunity to interview for positions and 75 percent or more will be hired as a full-time MA at one of Ochsner's Health Centers in the Southeast Louisiana area.
Currently, Ochsner employs more than 700 MAs, all playing an increasingly important role in healthcare delivery. These professionals are typically the first and last to see a patient, taking vitals and relaying patients' concerns to the physician before circling back at the end of the appointment to take questions and schedule follow-ups.
Since its inception, more than 100 individuals have completed the MA Training Program, with 94 percent currently employed at Ochsner today. All Ochsner MAs also receive additional MA training after they are hired to further develop their skills and increase their scope of practice.
To apply for Ochsner's MA Training Program, please visit one of Jefferson Community Action Partnership's Community Centers (1900 Lafayette St., Gretna, La. 70053 or 1801 Airline Drive, Suite F, Metairie, La. 70001) Monday-Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. For additional information or questions on Ochsner's MA Training Program, please email workforce@ochsner.org or call LWC at 985-783-5090 or 985-331-3795.
*All Jefferson Parish residents interested in applying for the MA Training Program must be ages 18-21 and meet CSBG- 2017 Low Income Guidelines in order to qualify.

Go to Val-mundi Homepage
Val-mundi Cheat Sheet and super big spoilers for meta content
Val-mundi is a collaborative list of stuff we like disguised as a work of fiction, but you don't wanna hear all that. You just wanna catch up quick or just need some notes to refresh yourself? Well, let's break kayfabe a bit more than usual and you can look at this page, but that's our secret, yo.
- Awsm Chimera (Ryan)
Narrative Structure of the setting
There are six major stories of Val-mundi, each taking place in a different time and place on the planet. These major stories are generally self-contained plots that occasionally have nods to past events or foreshadowing events to come.
Generation Sunshine: The first major story begins in 1499 as an event in the country of Aelayeron known as "The Gathering of Roses" is set to take place. This was written as a good starting point for those familiar with general fantasy (as seen in stuff like "The Forgotten Realms" or "The Lord of the Rings") and the more... stylized elements of Val-mundi being slowly woven into the setting after the story's initial opening. This also sets up a big ton of lore for stuff like "what happened to the 'gods' that used to be everywhere?"
Moonlight Mile: This is the tale of a little rainy land named Luunyohn (which most foreigners state as being Lanataria) in which the biggest five houses wage war for control over the nation. If you like samurai movies and Earth, Wind & Fire, this one's for you.
Starlight Regalia: In the mighty land of Landesterne, civil unrest is brewing and our protagonists have a grudge against those who bring the law to the lawless. If you've ever read a comic book, you can probably guess where a good bit of inspiration comes from for these characters.
Rainfall Riders: Running across the expansive archipelago known as the Brise Kouture are over five thousand participants in the 1919 World-Runner Grand Prix. This has magic cowboys and I hope that's enough for you to go, "yeah, that sounds pretty rad."
General Terms & Concepts
Humans - Most, if not all humanoids (the general term for a "person," y'know?).
Lillin (Lill-in) - Homo Sapiens.
Xoti (Sho-tee) - Elves as a race, but more specifically Dark-skinned Elves.
Xotili (Sho-till-ee) - Half/Light-skinned Elves, specifically.
Kafue (Cough-wee) - Goblinoids.
Skaal'kin (Ss-call-kin) - Dragonborn.
Zwanan (Zuh-won-nan) - Dwarves.
Siorvann (Sore-vonn) - Orcs.
Siorvill (Sore-vill) - Half-Orcs.
Yixiai (Jee-shy) - People who're "half angel" or whatever like Aasimar in The Forgotten Realms.
Men of Metal - Fantasy Robots.
Dechaune (Day-shawn) - People who're "half demons" or whatever like Tieflings in The Forgotten Realms.
Men of Silver
Sapient Machines from the Prehistoric Age of Technology, the Men of Silver were responsible for Humanity being pushed towards extinction and unleashing weapons of mass destruction that persisted in historical legends as "The Ten Days of Fire." Men of Silver are regarded as myth with modern humans of Val-mundi, most of whom being unaware of the beings at all. (The term "Man of Silver" merely refers to any of the Sapient Machinery from the PAT, as Men of Silver came in a variety of makes and models from all sorts of manufacturers)
Magic and "Gods"
Magic is a substance and is basically energy like the soul. Living beings, through their own willpower, pull that power from a variety of sources and shape it to form spells.
For example: Magic Man A believes he "pulls magic from the world around him" or some other pretentious crap to produce a "Level 3 Fireball." Magic Man B believes "magic is an extension of the soul" and produces a "2nd Grade Orb of Burning." This ultimately leads to two separate instances of what's essentially the same spell because both parties are basically shaping the same amount of magic to produce a similar fiery effect. (Use this as an excuse to add whatever flavor to your spells you'd like) This knowledge isn't widely known, if known by anyone at all in the setting, and is primarily used for the meta level of writing. "Gods" are various cultures subconsciously performing magic and producing physical manifestations of that magic. Deities are basically "living spells" and have a variety of abilities, strengths and weaknesses based on their most-persisted lore.
For example: A god of a culture who believes him to be eventually killed by a spear of oak would be especially damaged if hit with a spear of oak, but that doesn't mean he's invincible from all other stuff, he's just got a thing that'll hit him extra hard.
"What's up with name's like 'Zzin'gen Hinn Darrean' or 'Luuhfe Onnlimited?'"
As people from all walks of life, we love a lot of things and thought it'd be a fun way to name certain aspects of the setting, but we are also quite afraid of big corporations who want to destroy us for pointing people towards their stuff we like. (I mean, heck, the naming convention itself comes from "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure")

Communication issue between Service Desk Primary and Secondary Servers caused by MS Patch and Hosts file config.
When using Service Desk in a primary/secondary environment, there may be problems encountered in communication between the two servers when running Windows	2008 R2 and using a hosts file.
The observation is that before application of patch KB 2688338, the hosts file will be read from top to bottom, but with the patch in place, the hosts file	will be read from bottom to top, causing access to "server1" to be attempted via the loopback address, causing the disruption in communication between	certain devices, such as the primary and secondary server.
The suggestion is to either change the order of the entries in the hosts file, or remove the reference to the loopback address, with verification of system	and site requirements.

10 Anime Sequels That Failed to Capture the Magic of the Original
Every year it brings out hundreds of new anime series, which include both completely original properties as well as sequels and follow-ups to established properties. The anime industry has a cyclical nature that benefits from evergreen franchises that are always popular.
RELATED: 10 Anime Sequels That Managed to Capture the Magic of the Original
Instead of turning a single series into hundreds, or even thousands, of episodes long, a popular approach is to develop a sequel series that returns to the same universe, albeit with a new perspective. Some anime properties don't find their voices until the sequels, but it's even more common for the opposite to be true and a satisfying series becomes a sequel that falls short of expectations.
10/10 A promising story goes wildly off course
Tokyo Ghoul Root A
9/10 The next generation of Ninja Warriors is too stuck in the past
8/10 A new version of Mecha warfare becomes clumsy and reductive
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny
7/10 Redundant sequels dilute a perfect brand of anime
FLCL: Progressive/Alternative
6/10 Mecha Policework sparks an unoriginal sequel
Super Dimensional Fortress Macross II: Lovers Again
5/10 A DigiDestined Homecoming is hollow and uneventful
Digimon Adventure Tri
4/10 Fun Harem Hijinks are starting to run out of steam
Tenchi Muyo: Ryo Ohki
3/10 A return to mystical cyberpunk storytelling recycles the same crises
Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex
2/10 Mobile Suit High School students run out of gas in this mecha mess
Full Metal Panic! Invisible victory
See also 10 Best Isekai Anime That Embraced Its Clichés
Tokyo Ghoul hits the ground running and makes its mark as a wicked slasher/horror hybrid that focuses on Ken Kaneki's loosening grip on his humanity. Tokyo Ghoul lovingly adapts Sui Ishida's manga, but the anime deliberately forges its own path with the sequel series, Tokyo Ghoul Root A.
Root A's exploration of Kaneki's character feels aimless and lacks the impact of the original series. It's an even more frustrating experience for those familiar with the manga's direction. Tokyo Ghoul:re trying to pick up the pieces and go back to the source material, but it's too little too late.
Boruto: Naruto Next Generations is Narutoits sequel series, and it adopts the popular formula that follows the children of the characters from the original anime. The problem with Boruto is that it follows the beats of its predecessor so closely that it often feels pointless.
Boruto takes too long to find a unique voice, and by then many people have already abandoned the adventures of their youth. Boruto has close to 300 installments with still no end in sight. This sequel anime was born out of a controversial place, but Boruto has clearly proven that it's not going anywhere and that audiences are willing to stick with it.
Mobile Suit Gundam has established a rich mecha universe that spans multiple timelines. Modern Gundam the anime may struggle to feel as important as the original series, but there's a certain charm to it Mobile suit Gundam SEED who won over audiences through their resilient mobile suit pilots.
RELATED: 10 Anime Sequels More Lighthearted Than The Original
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny works as SEEDthe sequel and takes place two years later. Fate covers many of the same plot points but focuses on a less interesting group of characters. Fate feels like a messy, homogenized series that tries too hard to please the fans and becomes too bland in the process. Fate nullifies all the benevolence which SEED builds.
The original FLCL is lightning in a bottle of entertainment that is a bewildering mix of mecha madness, serious slice of life storytelling and an overwhelming alien apocalypse. FLCL achieves everything it needs to in six episodes, and it's one of the best combinations of music and visual storytelling.
FLCLits pristine reputation has not stopped two sequels, FLCL: Progressive and FLCL: Alternativefrom production and there are also two further sequel series on the way. Progressive and Option are not without charm, but they appear as less effective retreads of the original series. More music from The Pillows is never a bad thing, but these FLCL sequels feel free.
Macross is one of the biggest mecha properties in the medium, but it's also a franchise that has faced growing pains during its attempts at evolution. The biggest problem that Macross II faces is that it was originally designed to be an entire series, and it feels like a very compromised vision that has been rushed together.
On their own, Macross II isn't a terrible anime OVA and meditation on mecha technology, but it's just unnecessary as a sequel to the original Macross. Macross II repeats the same ideas, and it's a sequel that requires more than just satisfying action sequences and decent animation to justify its existence.
New Digimon content continues to keep audiences entertained. However, it is the original Digimon Adventure to whom the fans have the most reverence. Digimon Adventure Tri celebrates the series' 15th anniversary and returns to the anime's original characters, albeit now as teenagers.
RELATED: Top 10 Anime Sequels Better Than Legend Of Korra
This can be an upsetting and nostalgic experience, but Digimon Adventure Tri appears strangely inconsequential. Originally released as six feature films, Digimon Adventure Tri was later divided into 26 episodes. This extended version feels even more laborious and wasteful with its priorities. It is not Digimon Adventure Tri redemption that fans were hoping to see with this edit.
The growing Tenchi the universe continues to circle around the same idea, that beleaguered everyone, Tenchi Masaki, is suddenly the object of affection for Ryouko, a space pirate, but also a whole group of alien women. Tenchi Muyo: Ryo Ohki is an OVA series that fails to offer many original ideas to the series.
Ryo Ohki covers the same territory as Tenchi learns more about his peculiar heritage and the unusual women who are now a part of his life. Out of everyone Tenchi material, Ryo Ohki is one of the most available.
There are two satisfactory Ghost in the shell films that set up the dangers of this technology-driven cyberpunk society, but the anime series Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex continues to flesh out these ideas. Coming in with a little more than 50 episodes, Detached complex is a lengthy expansion of the original films, but still covers many of the same ideas.
Detached complex has diminishing returns between the film sequel, Solid State Societyand its OVA sequel, Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045. All of these feel like they're chasing the top of the original film.
Full Metal Panic! Invisible victory is technically the fourth proper series in the franchise, but it's also the least original offering in this subversive mecha universe. Invisible victory again part of life mixes school life with devastating mecha warfare against ruthless terrorists, which isn't boring but wears thin unlike the previous Full Metal Panic! series.
Kaname and Sousuke, while entertaining, fail to command the necessary authority here. Invisible victory may work as a stand-alone original property, but it does not effectively build on the foundation of the franchise.
The popularity of Akira Toriyama Dragon Ball franchise has never been bigger, but the release of the sequel series, Dragon Ball Superhas seemingly de-canonized the franchise's previous sequel, Dragon Ball GT. Dragon Ball GT has faced an uphill battle since it was an original anime series that has minimal involvement from Toriyama.
There are some big ideas to come out of Dragon Ball GT, such as Super Saiyan 4, as well as the return of several popular villains. However, the sequel series begins with an emphasis on light-hearted adventure rather than intense action. This attempt to recreate the energy of the original Dragon Ball left many Dragon Ball Z fans are unhappy.

Canyonlands National Park – Utah – i am uniquely and wonderfully made.

How to treat your lady to a date she will never forget?
Bring her to Canyonlands National Park.
Earlier in the day, my husband and I attempted to see the Fisher Towers but due to risks involving the type of car we drove, we instantly decided to head out to Canyonlands National Park instead. The two parks in Moab, Utah are only an hour away from each other.
The beauty of the West at Moab, Utah.
Canyonlands National Park is the largest national park in Utah. The park is divided into four districts: the Canyonlands Rivers, the Needles, The Maze, and the Island in the Sky.
Canyonlands National Park, not to be confused with the Grand Canyon, is the largest national park in Utah. It is divided into four districts: the Canyonlands Rivers, the Needles, The Maze, and the Island in the Sky. The last three districts are not connected to each other and requires a considerable time to get from one district to another. We opted to autotour the Island in the Sky district in the northern part of the park, and because Island in the Sky is a mesa on sandstone cliffs over 1,000 feet above the surrounding terrain, quite literally an Island in the Sky, its dips provide a magnificent views of the canyons especially the canyons that were carved by the Colorado and Green Rivers. We are not entirely the fittest and the most athletic people in the planet, so the scenic drive around the park's district is just about our perfect choice with vistas and lookout points located on the rims of the mesa.
Our first stop is at the park's Visitors Center where we gathered some provisions like my headlamp and a map, and also had our water bottles refilled. Just across the visitors center was our first good overview of the real Canyonlands.

Our next stop is at the Shafer Canyon Overlook. The most striking feature of this point is its vantage point looking down the tiny road on the Shafer Canyon floor. Shafer Canyon Road is a haven for adventurers with off-road vehicles.

Show her a window to another world.
Mesa Arch is an easy walk from the parking lot, and because it was winter, we didn't have to fight with the crowd except for a handful. The arch is one of the most recognizable and most frequently photographed part of Island in the Sky district. It may have been one of my Microsoft's random desktop photo background. Haha. However, no matter how many times you have glanced at photos of the arch, there is truly nothing to compare upon seeing the work of nature in person. The arch is roughly 50 feet long and 15 feet high, which is nothing compared to the other arches found in Utah. However, looking out from the pothole of the arch is a breathtaking view of a deep canyon.

We could not really see the Green River from this lookout but we were told that this is the best spot to watch the sunset. As a matter of fact, there was a professional photographer with us hoping to get his shots as well. The reflection of the sun definitely made the sandstone cliffs glow into a beautiful fiery orange, and when the sun was starting to set, the details of the snow-dusted rims of the canyons below slowly began to show. The sight was glorious and it invoked a multiple array of emotions. I was ecstatic, and excited, and melancholic at the same time. I suppose that is what sunsets do to some people like me. It makes us feel something we would try to fathom but would only come as close as a sense of being alive.

The night sky at Canyonlands National Park is so pristine that it was designated as a Gold-Tier International Dark Sky Park in 2015, and it is one of the four national parks in southern Utah with the International Dark Sky Park designation. The other three national parks are Hovenweep National Monument which was awarded an International Dark Sky Park in 2014, Natural Bridges National Monument which was designated the world's first International Dark Sky Park in 2007, and the Arches National Park.
It was 17 degrees cold and my husband boiled water for our cup noodles to warm us up. There was nobody else around us that night and all we could hear was our breaths and occasional noise to adjust the car's heater. We would walk out of the car to look up for Milky Way just overhead and listened to ourselves in full amazement. It was unforgettable. I still talk about that experience every so often.

And give her the stars and watch her smile and tear up all at once, even if it is 17 degrees cold. Watch her eyes grow big in awe staring at the night sky carpeted with bright stars. Watch those same eyes disappear as she grins watching those stars fall ablaze. Watch her as she stares at the Milky Way overhead. Watch her overwhelm. Watch her as she shows you a glimpse of her soul.
And realize that your car's front tire was flat all this time and you are two are alone in Utah's largest national park with the nearest help about 50 miles away.
Watch her laugh in amusement.
And laugh with her too.
It wasn't a dream. It was a date Jon's lady will never forget.

I like the way the sunset highlights that guys beard.
Haha. I think he likes that better.
The Canyonland looks like deep finger prints made on earth!
Yes that could have been true! Large hand prints indeed! Scary!
The views are magnificent! What a truly beautiful world we live in!
Pingback: Monument Valley – Utah – i am uniquely and wonderfully made.
Deeply impressive area, account and photos. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Mr. Suyash. Canyonlands Park is one of those parks I highly recommend visiting. We visited Grand Canyon after Canyonlands and although Grand Canyon is also beautiful, my husband and I agree that we enjoyed Canyonlands better.

Chairman of Tokyo Metropolitan Medical Association Declares During Surge, Time for Ivermectin is Now
Source: Trial Site News
The chairman of the Tokyo Metropolitan Medical Association recently led an emergency press conference on August 13, declaring the urgent status of the pandemic as Japan is now in its worst surge of the COVID-19 pandemic since the onset of the crisis. Most recently, a record number of new cases were reported at 20,140 on August 14. Deaths aren't as high as successive waves of the pandemic from February 2021 to the end of May, but nerves are frayed with record numbers of infections. Haruo Ozaki shared that 18,000 new infections are reported daily, indicating "it will be ranked high in the world". However, he acknowledged the death count has eased as compared to previous surges.
Greenlight for Ivermectin
In Dr. Ozaki's recent speech, he declared that ivermectin has demonstrated significant benefits in reducing infections and deaths where the regimen is prophylactically administered for another indication. The head of the Metropolitan Medical Association declared that while clinical trials were important, it was time to greenlight doctors to prescribe ivermectin in association with giving the patient informed consent.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Medical Association was established back in 1947, and since then, the association has evolved with the growth of this megacity of 14 million.
Much like what was successfully accomplished in Uttar Pradesh, India, parts of Bangladesh, and places like Argentina and Mexico, Chairman Ozaki calls for the immediate use of ivermectin as cases surge here.

Hiring a person with a disability is not charity. It makes good business sense. That was the powerful message reiterated at the Regional Conference on CSR for Skilling of Divyangjan, organised by Sarthak Educational Trust in Mumbai.
The two-day event that was aimed at discussing and planning areas of action and best practices for ensuring employment opportunities for the disabled saw a good mix of government representatives, companies, professionals, administrators, and others in the field of disability.
The significance of the event was underlined by the presence of Shakuntala Gamlin, Secretary of the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment. While praising the Maharashtra government's efforts to make skill development a partnership project with the corporates, Gamlin emphasised that with RPWD 2016 in place, there was a need to put early intervention mechanisms in place.
"We have to use the resources we have in place like ASHA community workers to ensure that disabilities are spotted at an early stage so the appropriate interventions can take place", said Gamlin.
Gamlin pointed out that while planning skilling programs, efforts should be taken to make sure they are based on the functional requirements of corporates. More attention needs to be given to improving literacy levels of India's disabled population as well.
Much focus was directed on the next steps forward, which was to skill people with disabilities in small cities and rural areas. Sarthak Educational Trust has 13 skill-building centres across India and its founder Dr Jitendra Aggarwal urged the companies present to direct their attention to this neglected corner of India.
It was encouraging to see the presence of heavyweights like Mahanagar Gas Limited and Mahindra Financial, which sent a large team to the event. A short film by Siddharth Kak on why employing the disabled is an asset was screened before the conference, which helped set the mood. Companies like Lemon Tree and Costa Coffee talked about how having disabled employees on the workforce has helped scale up productivity levels. Some employers said that a diverse staff has helped them understand customers' needs better.
Kak, who has made many films on disability, urged the media to actively break the myths and stereotypes around disability.
On the second day of the event was a Sashaktikaran - Job Fair for the disabled, held at Sion, where corporates had the opportunity to meet with potential employees. The take away message from the entire event was the only disability is a bad attitude, and how with the right skills ad training, people with disabilities are as good as anyone else.

Despite previous reports claiming Apple's iPhone X 'notch' isn't for everyone, Oppo has unveiled its latest smartphones – the R15 and R15 Plus – featuring the distinctive design element.
Chinese-based consumers are now able to pre-order the new R15/R15+ from the company's website.
Disclosed to its Chinese website, the R15 will feature a 19:9 aspect ratio, 6.28 inch display, minimal bezels, and a very iPhone X inspired 'notch'.
Oppo is marketing the device as especially great for media consumption, courtesy of a notable 90% screen to body ratio.
The Chinese-based company is also hinting enhanced AI integration. Snapdragon's 670 processor is also rumoured to be incorporated.
Australian pricing and availability is yet to be confirmed, however the video below may provide more of a sneak peek.
The new Oppo R15 & R15+ is scheduled to be officially announced in China later this week.


This is a bug that has been fixed in the latest build (the file monitor was not properly closed when the sync job was stopped). Can you install https://acrosync.com/win32/acrosync_installer_win64_1.7_609.exe and confirm the fix?
PhotoBackup only uploads files in the Camera Roll folder. These are normally pictures and videos taken by your phone. The files you gave as examples are not in the Camera Roll. They are in Saved Pictures or Screenshots.
Not sure what is the right choice in this case. I would prefer fixing the files with incorrect timestamps so they can be synced. Otherwise there is a danger of missing files if there is only a warning.
The --delete option would be too dangerous for average users. If you know how to do it, you can build your own version of rsync from the source code with the --delete option enabled by default.
You can remove the registry value HKCU\Software\Acrosync\AcrosyncClient\License and then Acrosync should show the activation dialog again. If you installed Acrosync for all users then remove HKLM\Software\Acrosync\AcrosyncClient\License.

What You Should Know About the Global Climate Strikes
According to an article in CNN, People all over the world are expected to walk out of their schools and workplaces today to demand action to address the global climate crisis.
Inspired and notably lead by a 16-year old Swedish activist named Greta Thurberg, young people are in open revolt regarding the state of the planet. Students and older generations are rising from their desks today to disrupt "business as usual" in order to put the heat on their nation's leaders. The high participation and worldwide reach of the movement are impressive, with large protests in Australia, the Philippines, Kenya, Germany and Britain already taking place before the sun even rose in the United States.
Who is Greta Thurberg?
Thurberg gained worldwide attention in August of 2018 when, at age 15, she took time off school to demonstrate outside the Swedish parliament to advocate for stronger climate action. When other students began similar demonstrations in their own communities, a movement called Fridays for Future started with strikes taking place every week somewhere in the world. Today, a multi-city protest involving over one million students is taking place.
Children are using powerful tools like social media and the internet to create and organize these protests. Greenhouse gas emissions are continuing to increase while daily news reports show their effects, including intensifying storms, rising sea levels and unusually extreme levels of heat and droughts. Not a single country who signed the Paris Agreement, a landmark climate accord that was designed four years ago, is on track towards their goals of reducing carbon emissions and reversing the degradation of the planet. President Trump even pulled out of the agreement. The children of today are not sitting idly while they watch their futures burn.
It is not new for young people to protest. The Vietnam War, Apartheid, and many more movements against injustice have been championed by the world's youth. However, according to the New York Times, this is different.
This is a new generational revolt, though. It's not against injustice in a particular country, nor against a war. This is about the future on a hotter planet. Young people worry about the cataclysmic impact of climate change on their future, coloring where they will live, how they will grow their food, and how they will cope with recurrent droughts and floods. The internet allows them to mobilize. They often know more about the issue than their parents do.

Two Guys On Your Head
October 4, 2016 by efs429
By Joan Neuberger
Every Friday, KUT producer Rebecca McInroy hosts "Two Guys On Your Head," a podcast with UT Austin psychologists, Dr. Art Markman and Dr. Bob Duke. The conversations cover everything from procrastination, to why you feel younger than you actually are, to why breaking up is hard to do. Thinking in Public caught up with Art Markman to talk about the podcast and its impact on his own research and teaching.
How did the idea for Two Guys On Your Head come about?
Bob and I did a Views and Brews at the Cactus Café. [Views and Brews is a public conversation between UT Austin faculty and the community. They've done sessions on Jazz and the Spiritual Journey through the music of John Coltrane, Drugs and the Olympics, Texas Politics, the History of Radio, Women in the Jazz Conversation, Texas high school football, and the life of Tennessee Williams].
The conversation focused on effective thinking. After we did it, Rebecca McInroy, the producer of Views & Brews as well as 2GoYH, invited us to do another Views and Brews. When we came to the second event, she asked us if we were interested in doing a show for the station. Her pitch was to "think of Car Talk, but for the mind."
We were intrigued by Rebecca's proposal, so we went into the station and taped a 1-hour pilot (which, thankfully nobody but the station staff heard). After the pilot, we settled on the 7-and-a-half minute format we use for the show and they decided to run the show for a month. About midway through the month, they asked for a few more episodes, and they never told us to stop, so we keep going.
Do you get feedback from listeners? If so, do people respond the way you expect?
We do get feedback from listeners via email, Twitter, and Facebook. There are times when people interpret something we said differently than we intended. Sometimes, a listener wants a more nuanced view of the science than we can provide in the segment. We often respond to comments view email or social media. Recently, we started a Talkback segment that is only available on the podcast in which we respond in more detail to listener feedback.
Does this program have an impact on your own research and/or teaching? In other words are there scholarly benefits of public scholarship?
I think that doing public outreach makes us better communicators about our work in general, so it definitely improves our teaching. In particular, it forces us to think about how the research we discuss is related to particular topics of the day. So, we have become more adept at thinking about both the theoretical and practical aspects of the work. In addition, every once in a while someone asks a question that does not have a ready answer from the existing literature. Those questions become the source of potential research questions in the future.
Anything else you'd like to add?
Our experience has been that the broader public is really hungry for interesting insights from research. Of course, many people are just interested in their own psychology, but I think there is a fascination for many of the topics studied at the university. I think most people who try to do public outreach about their work find that there is an audience for it out there.
