John McCain's Concession Speech Video - Plus Ron Paul
Since I posted the video and transcript of Obama's acceptance speech, I also wanted to post John McCain's concession speech as well. McCain conceded the presidential race to Barack Obama and stated that the Democrat has achieved a "great thing for himself and for his country."
Personally, I think this was one of McCain's best speeches. Perhaps, if he had spoken from the heart like this all along throughout the campaign, the nation would have embraced him fully, and this speech never would have taken place. Who knows.

Ron Paul On CNN American Morning
And here's Ron Paul. Proving once again that he's the only one in Washington who really has a clue. Undoubtedly, the GOP is kicking itself now for their mistreatment of him during the primaries.
First, they tried to defeat him by paying people to run against him. When that failed, they marginalized him. And when that failed, they made false accusations against him, many times over.
Lastly, came the mistreatment during the Republican National Convention. Whenever Ron Paul delegates approached the microphones to speak, the microphones were cut off and security was called to remove them from the premises. Ron Paul delegates were shut out of the platform talks, as well as every other meaningful discussion.
In my opinion, the GOP got what it deserved for its poisonous deeds. They screwed the pooch big time on this one. A Ron Paul/Barack Obama race would have most likely sealed the deal for Republicans, especially since the economy - Ron Paul's specialty - is what pushed Obama so far ahead of McCain in recent weeks.
Oh, and not to mention that Obama was the second choice for most Ron Paul supporters. Bottom line, the Republican Party had a great and very special opportunity in Ron Paul...but they rejected it. And now, the American people have rejected them.

Barack Obama's Acceptance Speech (Video and Transcript)
In case you haven't had a chance to see it, here's the video of Barack Obama's acceptance speech in Chicago after winning the 2008 presidential election. No doubt, Obama will always "Remember, remember the Fifth of November."
And for those of you who like to read, I've provided a full transcript of Obama's acceptance speech below the video.

Barack Obama Acceptance Speech - Full Transcript
OBAMA: Hello, Chicago.
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.
It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.
We are, and always will be, the United States of America.
It's the answer that led those who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.
It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.
A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Senator McCain.
Senator McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he's fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.
I congratulate him; I congratulate Governor Palin for all that they've achieved. And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.
I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.
And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years - the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation's next first lady, Michelle Obama.
Sasha and Malia, I love you both more than you can imagine. And you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the new White House.
And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother's watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight. I know that my debt to them is beyond measure.
To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you've given me. I am grateful to them.
And to my campaign manager, David Plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best - the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America. To my chief strategist David Axelrod, who's been a partner with me every step of the way. To the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics, you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.
But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you. It belongs to you.
I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn't start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause.
It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep.
It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not perished from the Earth. This is your victory.
And I know you didn't do this just to win an election. And I know you didn't do it for me. You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime - two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.
Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.
There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after the children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage, or pay their doctors' bills, or save enough for their child's college education.
There's new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair. The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you, we as a people will get there.
AUDIENCE: Yes we can! Yes we can! Yes we can!
OBAMA: There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can't solve every problem.
But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it's been done in America for 221 years - block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.
What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.
So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.
Let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers. In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people. Let's resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.
Let's remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House, a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity.
Those are values that we all share. And while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.
As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies but friends. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.
And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president, too.
And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.
To those - to those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security: We support you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright: Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.
That's the true genius of America: that America can change. Our union can be perfected. What we've already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.
This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight's about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.
She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons - because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.
And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America - the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.
At a time when womens' voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.
When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.
AUDIENCE: Yes we can.
OBAMA: When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.
OBAMA: She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that We Shall Overcome. Yes we can.
OBAMA: A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.
And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change.
Yes we can.
OBAMA: America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves - if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment.
This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.
Thank you. God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America.

Black Panthers "Patrolling" Polling Places (Video)
Apparently, Black Panther members (in full uniform) are stationed at some 300 polling places in battleground states. The question is, are they trying to intimidate McCain voters? Judging by this video I just found on YouTube, I'd say it's very possible. What do you think?
The video shows two Black Panther members at a Philadelphia polling place, one of whom is carrying a nightstick, who were reportedly blocking the door. Eventually, the police came and made the one with the nightstick (the one who said, "I'm security." lol) leave the premises.
Black Panthers Outside Polling Places
Now, I'm neither for Obama nor McCain, but I can definitely see how this sort of behavior could scare some people away from voting. But not surprisingly, there's lots of other "funny stuff" happening on this election day as well. In Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, calls from "Democrats For Obama" are being made, informing voters about a fake change of polling location. Gee, how nice.
There are also multiple reports that a Virginia Beach polling location is understaffed, and that people are picking up paper ballots from the floor and casting multiple votes! And in Northern Virginia, it's been reported that "tens of thousands" of military absentee ballots might be missing. Wow, put your life on the line for your country and they'll still misplace your vote.
All this, and a whole slew of voting machines throughout the country that are either malfunctioning, or breaking down entirely. In Richmond, Virginia one precinct had five of its seven voting machines break down. This forced voters, who were frustrated from waiting in the rain, to fill out optical scan ballots instead. Five out of seven, eh? Hmm, sounds like it's time to use another voting machine manufacturer!
Yep, it looks to be another "interesting" presidential election in the Good Ole USA! At this point, I think it's safe to say that the election results will be contested by the losing party if the winner ends up winning by a narrow margin like in 2000.

A Florida man says, his family vacation on a cruise ship took a horrifying turn.
MIAMI -- A Florida man says his family vacation on a cruise ship took a horrifying turn.
The Davis family boarded the Carnival Ecstasy in Miami on Christmas Day.
They said the trip was going well, but on the last night, they say they witnessed what appeared to be blood pouring out of the top of an elevator.
Matt Davis caught the scary ordeal on camera, but we have chosen not to show you the graphic images.
A spokesman with Carnival say an electrician died on the ship.
Davis says another man was inside the elevator and had to run through the blood to get out.
"He ran through the blood that was coming down. I don't know what happened but it was terrifying," he said.
The electrician's cause of death is still under investigation.

Lewes, DE – October 8, 2014 – The Delaware Sports Commission is excited to announce it has partnered with three area businesses to serve as the host hotels for the 2014 Slam Dunk to the Beach. The Atlantic Sands Hotel and Conference Center, Hyatt Place Dewey Beach and The Sleep Inn & Suites Rehoboth Beach Area will host the tournament's national field as well as staff and fans during the three-day event, December 27-29, 2014 at Cape Henlopen High School.
Located on the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk, just feet from the white sands of one of the cleanest beaches in America, the Atlantic Sands Hotel is the perfect place for enjoying Rehoboth Beach.
A national slate of high school teams will participate in the return of the renowned Slam Dunk to the Beach tournament. The field is headlined by several schools who annually occupy spots in the national rankings. Sunrise Christian Academy (Wichita, KS), St. Vincent-St. Mary High School (Akron, OH), Our Savior New American School (Centereach, NY), Gonzaga College High School (Washington, D.C.) and Ss. John Neumann-Goretti High School (Philadelphia, PA) will all spend their winter break in the First State. Sixteen teams—representing seven states and the District of Columbia—will be competing in this year's event. The tournament, long a staple of the national high school basketball calendar, is returning for the first time since 2003. For 13 years Slam Dunk to the Beach hosted some of the nation's premier players, including LeBron James ('01), Dwight Howard ('03), Kevin Durant ('03), Carmelo Anthony ('00) and J.J. Redick ('01), all now NBA superstars. The new incarnation of the event is sure to provide a showcase for numerous stars of tomorrow.
Hyatt Place Dewey Beach will bring its combination of style and innovation to the event. It is conveniently located on the Bay just footsteps from the ocean where patrons can enjoy Delaware's most stunning sunsets. This resort hotel features two of Dewey Beach's most popular restaurants, Que Pasa and the Lighthouse in addition to its meeting facilities.
The Sleep Inn & Suites Rehoboth Beach Area, is located in Lewes, just over one mile from the tournament venue, and within 10 miles of several beachside attractions, including Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach, Bethany Beach, the Delaware Seashore State Park and the Cape May-Lewes Ferry. The trio of hotels joins a quartet of other notable businesses that have already signed on to partner with the event. The Delaware Sports Commission announced last week that Grotto Pizza has been named the Official Pizza of Slam Dunk to the Beach, ATI Physical Therapy will be the tournament's Official Sports Medicine Provider, while AAA Mid-Atlantic and Maui Wowi has also joined the team as valued corporate partners. More partnership announcements will be announced as the tournament approaches.
The tournament's full schedule is expected to be announced on Friday, October 16. A limited number of three-day tournament tickets are available for purchase. For more information, or to purchase tickets, visit slamdunktothebeach.com or follow the tournament on Facebook at Slam Dunk to the Beach or via twitter under the handle @SlamDunkToBeach.
The Delaware Sports Commission, a not-for-profit organization, was established to attract large and small sporting events to Delaware to benefit the sports industry and community and to positively impact Delaware's economy. The DSC also assists with the retention and growth of existing sports events. To date, the DSC has partnered with close to forty (40) regional and national events, paving the way for larger-scale future events to be held in Delaware.

First Zoom student-parent-teacher conferences provide opportunities to reflect on learning
Cameron Spurr
Student-parent-teacher conferences took place for the first time over Zoom Feb. 25 and 26, and will continue March 1. Students were given a chance to reflect on their progress in class with both their teachers and parents present.
Nick Zirinis, Staff Writer
The High School conducted the first online student-parent-teacher conferences Feb. 25 and 26, which will continue March 1. Alongside their parents, students discussed with their teachers regarding their performance in class.
Although parent-teacher conferences took place online in October 2020, this has been a new experience for students as they did not attend the previous parent-teacher conferences.
Ysabel Rasetta Moini ('23) said while the online conferences were adequate, she would have preferred in-person conferences.
"It would have been more enjoyable and a bit more meaningful had we actually done them in person," she said. "Because we're talking about something important, like grades."
Rasetta Moini said students were lucky to have conferences over Zoom instead of none at all, but was indeed quite frustrated that they did not take place in person.
"The fact that we weren't really connecting with our teachers was upsetting," she said.

Contrary to what you may believe the customer experience is not all about them, it's a little about you. To connect with your customers you have to let them know a little bit about who you are, your experiences, and your knowledge.
Start now – tell me a little about you. I'd love to know.
Comment below and I'll see you there!


Most people know Whitehall outside of Annapolis – if they know it at all – as a beautiful 18th century home and National Historic Landmark. For me, it has a special meaning and connection as the place where some of my ancestors were enslaved by the Ridout Family. When Michael Winn of St. Margaret's Episcopal Church organized a visit with Mr. Orlando Ridout IV and church members to the property's cemeteries, I jumped at the chance to visit the graves of my family members .
On the other side of the fence, adjacent to the Ridout Family cemetery, is an African American burial ground where many of Whitehall's enslaved are interred. Only one permanent tombstone remains, belonging to Amelia Martin (1878-1899), the daughter of my great-great-grandmother Mary Calvert-Martin, who was also enslaved by the Ridouts. Over time, the name "Calvert" was changed to "Colbert", and the "Col-Mar" and "Colbert" roads near the property refer to our family.
Today we do not know how many others are buried in the African American cemetery. Their markers, likely wooden, deteriorated over time or were removed by owners of the Whitehall property. I hope that one day we will be able to identify the graves of those buried there, perhaps with ground-penetrating radar, and erect a plaque in their honor, so that their lives will not be forgotten.
Of course, this is not a story unique to Whitehall, or to my family — these stories and these places exist all over Maryland. Many are threatened by time or neglect or ignorance of what is there. We must do what we can to save them and tell these stories, because we still have so much to learn about ourselves and our histories.
This entry was posted in Anne Arundel County, Historic Sites, Monuments. Bookmark the permalink.
Bernadette, I remember your excitement in telling me of your travels to this cemetery to visit your relatives. Glad you were able to share this fascinating story with others.
Wonderful story Bernadette. Thank you.
We had a wonderful time! I'll never forget that day!
What an incredibly touching story. Thank you for sharing it.
What a beautiful telling of family history. Thank you for sharing this.
Beautiful, Bernadette. I loved hearing about aspects of your family history during our last MHAA away meeting. We are lucky to have you working on behalf of preservation in Maryland.
Bernadette this is a wonderful story, and I would like to learn more. Will contact you soon.
Bernadette, this was an enlightening story of your family's history! Thank you for sharing this untold story with the world. You have managed to make history into her story. Much Love from your SIL.
Bernadette that story of your family history was interesting!
Hello Bernadette I really enjoyed reading this article. I can understand the passion that you always put into the history of the family. May God continue to bless you on your journey.
Bernadette, What an amazing and important story! And you're right; we should all be recovering and telling those stories all over the state. I hope your dream of finding and identifying your ancestors' remains comes true.
Thank you, Bernadette. The more fully we can tell all sides of the story, the more secure these stories will be in our memory. I am glad we share this special place.
This is a beautiful experience that you shared!!! Thank you for inspiring me.
More than a personal story, this reflects the experience of many thousands of Marylanders, white and black, interred in private burying grounds around the state. Only now, generations later, do we have the means and the will to identify the stories of those who, typically, lacked the property, social position, and wealth to receive stone markers or other forms of enduring recognition. Thank you, Bernadette, for your efforts.
What a fascinating post. Thank you for sharing!
Bernadette, I will be on a tour of Whitehall on July 12 and I will look for your great-great grandfather's tombstone in the Ridout family cemetery.

SMB ISAO
ISAO BLOG
Addressing the Privacy Concerns of SMBs relating to ISAOs
Much like the concern about the type of information that can be shared under the CISA act with the U.S. Government, many companies and customers have justifiable concerns about the privacy of that information. While even the NSA can be hacked, there are several key provisions of the CISA act and facts about the information that should address these concerns and demonstrate that the value proposition of CISA provided coverages outweighs the potential disclosure of the type of information that would be collected.
The information doesn't have to contain proprietary or corporate information: As stated in our last article, the information required to be provided is about the hack and is usually technical information such as the vector, domain, IP and information about the hack and successful defense and mitigation strategies. So even if the information provided was released, it would not be of any importance to the company, especially if it invokes anonymity. Complaints forms on the US-CERT or Internet Cyber Crime Center or IC3, website ask for technical data although proprietary information can be requested, especially in the case of sensitive or classified information.
Information must be filtered for personal information: The law recognizes that any entity, private, non-federal, federal, state, local etc. that receives cyber threat indicator information must screen that information for any personal information in accordance with Section 103.b.Ei and ii which states that the federal government is required to develop procedures to review cyber information for personal data and to remove it if its contained in any sharing capacity.
Trade Secret or Trademarked Data must be protected: While most companies would be hesitant to share the fact that trademarked or proprietary data has been stolen, there are times when disclosing such a theft would be beneficial and should be considered. If DHS is made aware of the theft, then the agency can take advantage of the government's reach to search for the stolen data, possibly starting an investigation and giving the company evidence to be used in litigation. Without the disclosure, a company would be on its own in trying to track down the data using its own resources. These protections are outlined in Section 105.d.2 of the CISA law.
You can remain anonymous: information provided to DHS offers the reporting entity to remain anonymous if desired. If information is shared through an ISAO, the information is already protected through the ISAO membership and its originator cannot be divulged unless approved. The offer to remain anonymous is provided by DHS on its AIS webpage.
Shared Information Must Be Protected: In Section 104.d.1, the law also requires any entity that shares information to properly store that information and to invoke security controls to prevent access to that information. This means that an ISAO in reception of your information must store it in a protected manner and must ensure that all members use some security measures in storing the data. So any data submitted by the member is protected and secure.
Your data could be used by Law Enforcement in specific cases: The numerous and valuable protections under the CISA act are afforded to businesses that not only share cyber threat data so that they can mitigate cybercrime, but any data that a company finds that indicates that one of three specific threats or offenses could occur:
A specific threat of bodily or economic harm, or the use of a weapon of mass destruction.
An indicator that a threat to a minor including sexual exploitation or a threat to physical safety.
Or an indicator that personal identity fraud, espionage or theft of intellectual property would take place.
What the government is saying here is that, if a company finds evidence that the above threats are possible, it can use the ISAO to transmit that data through the approved Automatic Information Sharing (AIS) system to Federal authorities for their action. Under the law, the member can also send an email to the appropriate address reporting the discovery. However, in this case, the sharing of information between non-entities and not the Federal Government may disallow critical CISA coverages to be invoked as the data was not shared with a Law Enforcement entity with the ability to mitigate the threats. It is recommended that sharing such data through an ISAO is accomplished since those protections would be of great value to any business that inadvertently became involved in one of those crimes through it employees.
The type of data shared does not outweigh the protections afforded under the CISA law. As stated, there is no involuntary requirement to share data that is proprietary or personal in nature. The data required by the US-CERT or IC3 is technical in nature and by law cannot have any personal data. In order to invoke the protections under CISA, it is critical that SMBs share data with DHS either by themselves, or through an ISAO.
While privacy of data is of great concern to businesses, it is crucial to ensure that you are covered by the CISA act at all times. This entails the sharing of data between the members and other non-Federal entities or through an ISAO to DHS ensures that these critical protections remain in place.

According to UN estimates, the world consumes 500 billion plastic bags annually. 50% of the total plastic consumed is single-use or disposable items such as grocery bags, cutlery and straws. According to a study conducted by the Indian Environment Ministry, India generates 25,940 tonnes of plastic waste a day.
With our coastlines and waterbodies choking, bearing the brunt of this assault, it's time to look at the monstrosity that is plastic in our reality today. Despite being aware of the idea of recycling and reusing plastic, a whopping 70% of all plastic consumed is discarded as waste. And this is the start of the problem with plastic waste. Where does it go, once discarded? To oversaturated landfills, into the earth via leaching into ground water, down the drain into our sanitation systems, through waterways and eventually the ocean. A lot is indiscriminately burnt, adding to green gas and carbon emissions entering our atmosphere. These systems are all intrinsically connected back to us. Whether in the form of the water we eventually drink, the seafood we consume, the soil that grows our food, and the air we breathe.
Up to 12 million tonnes of plastic is entering our oceans every year – that's a rubbish truck full every minute. There are 500 times more pieces of microplastic in the sea than there are stars in our galaxy and by 2050 it is estimated there will be more plastic than fish. Mismanaged solid waste is front and centre of many debates and discussions around the environment and the way forward. It is interesting to note our contribution to this as a country.
On the one hand, countries like China are taking drastic steps like banning plastic waste coming in for recycling from the UK. In addition to recycling its own waste, Norway also imports waste from other countries to pump into its waste-to-energy incineration plants. In India, 17 states and union territories now have officially banned the manufacture, sale and use of plastic carry bags. However, ironically, this ban somehow excludes the use of polythene bags, making the entire exercise myopic and counter-productive.
Without looking at how we use plastic in our daily lives, the touchpoints at which single use plastic enters and exits our lives it would be impossible to create the right kind of policies to curb the growing issue of plastic waste management. A measly 9% of the plastic produced over the last 79 years is recycled. It is rather self-evident that given the durability and multi-purpose nature of plastic, reusing and recycling it in a way that can optimise it's lifespan is a logical way to begin combatting this growing menace.
With governments banning the manufacture and sale of single-use plastic, the hope is that citizens are encouraged to examine their relationship with plastic, starting from within their homes. Reusing single use plastic bottles and bags is an easy and effective place to start. Next, examine where it would be good to transition to alternative storage like glass, steel or wood, instead of plastic. Also, look at the largest sources of plastic to enter our homes. Is it the takeout containers for the food you order? Or the groceries that are delivered to your doorstep? A little bit of thought extended to why and how these actions impact the trash one generates might make us aware and curb the extent to which we depend on them.
At a policy level, governments must create and sustain pressure on industries to seriously curtail and rethink the amount of single use plastic they generate, the amount of plastic waste in their production as well, and the ways in which they are willing to reintegrate and recycle plastic back into their systems.
Recycled plastic is a highly malleable source of raw material that can be useful to any industry willing to add it into their manufacturing process. This will significantly reduce the burden currently on our environment and landfills. Further, recycling plastic consumes far less energy than producing new plastic does. This is not only energetically economical, but also means that the energy saved can then be routed into another channel of production. If industries were forced to think about this, and consciously walk the talk, consumers would be forced to comply and follow. After all, there was a time before the push to use plastic from manufacturers the world over tipped the balance and has us hurtling to a point of no return. It is time to revisit other forms of packaging. To look at the impact of the waste we generate at multiple levels. To reimagine what we do with the plastic we generate, consume and thoughtlessly throw away.


Charging stations for electric vehicles will be strategically placed at key locations in Delaware to enable long trips in the state by next year, through a new collaborative research agreement between the University of Delaware (UD) and the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC).
UD researchers are in the process of determining the most effective locations for charging stations, and they will assist in equipment installation and analyze station usage when the stations become operational. The new infrastructure will support greater use of electric vehicles, which do not release air pollution or carbon dioxide, unlike their gasoline-fueled counterparts.
Two years ago, the federal government announced a national goal of 1 million electric vehicles on the roads by 2015. It also announced help to install charging stations, but the latter effort has been sporadic. For example, in the Mid-Atlantic region, electric chargers are clustered within metropolitan areas, such as Philadelphia and Baltimore, but these are not considered well-located for en-route charging and most are incapable of fast charging.
Electric vehicle drivers in Delaware have access to only a few public charging stations. That does not pose a problem for a driver on a typical day — on average, Americans travel 30 miles per day and can charge at home in the evening — but longer trips require either battery recharging en route or a large and expensive long-distance battery.
Even a ride from Wilmington to Bethany Beach, for example, necessitates a recharge for today's most economical electric cars, which have small batteries and require charging roughly every 70 miles.
The new project will take into account driver convenience, as well as traffic patterns to major destinations, in pinpointing locations for five or six new charging stations. Charging a battery from empty to full charge can take 40 minutes to two hours, depending on the car model, so locations where drivers can spend time dining, shopping or enjoying the outdoors would be carefully considered. For drivers who just need a boost to go an additional 15 miles, the charge may require only 15 to 20 minutes — time to have a cup of coffee or look at a magazine.
The 16-kilowatt stations will charge two to three times as quickly as more common models, and the service will be offered free-of-charge to users through at least 2014. Willett Kempton, professor in UD's College of Earth, Ocean & Environment, and his colleagues will work with public and private location owners on the initial set-up and on a long-term plan, which could include a fee in subsequent years to cover any ongoing costs. The researchers will monitor station usage and track reductions in pollution and carbon dioxide emissions.
Officials said the project will help remove a significant obstacle to the adoption of electric cars: "range anxiety." Potential buyers may hesitate to purchase the vehicles for fear that their battery will run out of charge beyond the range of a charging station. Based on prior studies, these stations at key locations will encourage use of electric vehicles, even if the recharge is not actually needed, they said.
The new stations will not be more than 50 miles apart, which is the battery range for the least expensive electric vehicle models today. The program will encourage purchase of such vehicles, which, at about $22,000, can be about a fifth as expensive as some of the models with the largest batteries and longest ranges.
Additionally, existing incentives can make electric cars appealing, including a federal purchase credit, a reduced carbon footprint and reduced fuel costs as low as $1 per gallon compared to gasoline. Drivers can download smartphone apps such as Recargo to locate charging stations when traveling.
The UD-DNREC project will enable trips within Delaware and nearby cities, making the entire state within an electric car's range. The project also helps fill a regional gap for recharging capabilities between Baltimore and Philadelphia — urban areas where charging stations are more common.
With a budget of $80,000, the entire project costs less than one long-range electric vehicle. Yet the project would serve many hundreds of electric vehicles due to the driving pattern of most Americans, who make long trips only a few days a year.
"Delaware is setting up charging stations in a smart way, which is surprisingly more cost-effective than each electric car buyer getting a big battery," Kempton said.
An expert in alternative energy, Kempton said he was not aware of other states determining charging locations based on this type of systematic travel, charging speed and range limit analysis.
"This project enables people to buy electric vehicles, use them for longer trips and not worry about range," he said.

Abstract : This document presents some results obtained in the field of network calculus, a theory based on the (min,plus) algebra and whose aim is to compute worst-case performance bounds in communication networks. This theory models flows circulating in a network and the service offered by the network elements by cumulative functions and those functions are abstracted by enveloped on which the computations are performed. Several aspects are addressed. A first part is devoted to the clarification and the improvements of the performance bounds computed using this theory: the different types of service curves and the relation between them are clarified; a new operator of packet curves introduced, in order to describe the packet sizes the same way as the flows; and we improve the way of computing worst-case performance bounds, that is classically based on the (min,plus) operators, by introducing linear programs that compute the exact worst-case performances in some cases and improve the bounds in the other cases. The second part presents some examples other application of the results first developed for networks calculus: algorithms of convolution of (min,plus) functions have received a lot of attention by the network calculus community in order to compute bounds efficiently. We show here an example of use for approximating the numerical solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. Another example is to use the concept of arrival curve to supervise a flow. This is done with simple algorithm that can follow the evolution of the behavior of a flow.


Ever since the publication of "The Power Of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale, the whole area of positive thinking is one of the first things that many people think of when it comes to most questions related to how to change your life.
This makes sense as the nature and quality of your thoughts does have a significant bearing on your experience and interpretation of life.
This site is focused on two basic skills, learning how to think and learning how to not think.
Learning the art of positive thinking and developing the power of positive thinking falls very much into the category of learning how to think.
As we have discussed in other articles, the bulk of what we do think is repetitive and goes un-noticed and "under the radar" in our unconscious minds.
Arguably one of the first things we can do to assist the quality of our recurrent thoughts is to pay very close attention to our "self talk" those repetitive thought patterns, the inner narrative, the "voices in our head".
There are two ways of achieving this, firstly by paying close attention to those things that we resist and secondly by developing a daily mindfulness practise developing a daily mindfulness practise that enables us to gain conscious awareness and visibility of our thoughts and states as they arise and specifically to consciously observe our resistance as it arises.
The most important aspect of our conscious mind is the faculty of choice and the setting of an intention to change the habits of our thoughts.
This is the start point for developing the power of positive thinking.
99.9% of our thoughts are habit-driven and in order to be able to benefit from the power of positive thinking we need to be able to change those thought-habits.
We do have the conscious choice over what we choose to think about, we have the capacity to set an intention to seek help and employ proven tools, techniques and processes to change our thoughts and thus to benefit from the power of positive thinking.
It is a complete mistake to believe that the power of positive thinking - or the "law of attraction" for that matter - will give you complete control of your life and destiny and that you can have or become just about anything you want.
"The powers of the mind in the subconscious areas are considerable and can make a significant difference to how you interpret and respond to what happens to you, to the things that you attract, and to your overall quality of life experience.
But, and this is a very big "but", these subconscious powers do NOT create everything that happens to you.
In the bigger picture scheme of things these powers of the mind are actually very limited.
The real powers of the mind lie elsewhere..."
As with all the insights and practises we are discussing and sharing here on this site, balance in both perspective and practise is essential.
So from a developmental perspective it is very important that we understand how our minds function and that we do all that we can to ensure that our minds are working for us and not against us.
In this context I am a big advocate for all proven tools and processes (such as those featured on this site) that can further that end, and I encourage everyone to become acquainted with them and to gain a reasonable degree of mastery over their subconscious minds and thus to be able to benefit the power of positive thinking.
But let us also hold in mind the other side of the equation - the realm beyond our re-programmed subconscious minds - that we can only access by learning how to stop thinking.
Rushing into action you fail.
By letting things take their course."
So what are the basics of the power of positive thinking?
(1) Know what you want - develop clarity about an objective that really lights your fire - something that you really want to pursue "as if your life depended on it".
If you are not passionate about your objective, if you can't feel in the core of your being then don't bother because if your life-force/survival instinct is not aroused you won't stick with it.
(2) Feel it now - if you don't have the feeling of your goal having already been achieved, you will not be giving off the energy of a successful outcome.
People are extremely sensitive to the energy or vibe that you give off - largely unconsciously - and it attracts or repels them into support, blocking or indifference.
(3) Maintain an attitude of positive expectation - a significant component of the power of your positive thinking lies in the belief that you will achieve your goal or objective.
We invariably rise to the limits of our own expectations in life.
Gratitude releases you from your attachment and "stuckness" to negative feelings, and it automatically generates a positive energy within you.
An advanced refinement to this is to be thankful for that which you have not yet received. Sounds counter intuitive I know, but it is very powerful for engendering a deeply positive energy.
(5) Drop the "how's this gonna happen" and trust that it will all come together.
This is often the hardest bit. You need to find something bigger or beyond yourself to trust in. It could be destiny, life, higher self, God, fate or in fact anything that helps you feel that you can let go and, let's just say it as, "trust the process".
The importance and power of this is that it stops you thinking and gets you "out of your own way" as you align yourself with the far greater consciousness that is already at work in the situation.
(6) Act on inner prompts and intuitions as they arise. This involves you in NOT thinking analytically and in NOT drawing up action lists, instead, you check-in regularly with yourself and seeing if you feel an inner prompting to do something.
Counter intuitive as this may sound, don't have detailed written lists and goals, and don't drive yourself.
When you do, just do it. Don't think about it or worry about the outcome. Just do it as soon as possible and to the best of your ability.
(7) Always "go the extra mile" - add as much value as you can in your interactions with people. Exceed their expectations.
Doing this weakens your own ego-centricity and generates a higher energy within you - and this in turn helps create the conditions within you to receive the manifestation of your objective.
(8) Accept the gestation period. This may be brief but frequently is longer. It could take months and often years for your goals to come to fruition. Remember that whether you like it or not life works in cycles and that does involve waiting.
(9) Hang on in there.
Persistence coupled with consistence is everything.
You will almost certainly experience hold ups, road blocks and seemingly insurmountable obstacles. That is the nature of life. It is designed to sort out the truly committed from the waverers.
The attrition factor is what wears so many people down and causes them to "throw in the towel". Be prepared for this and accept it.
The degree to which you can develop acceptance of this, proceed mindfully, and act as you feel inwardly prompted to do so, is the degree to which you will learn and benefit from the deeper purpose that lies behind what you think is your goal.
That acceptance is the hidden key to real mastery of the power of positive thinking.

Q: MouseWheel event on NumericUpDown I just find a way to resize form (winforms) based on font size of form.
For that I make routine in form's MouseWheel event handler:
Private Sub myfrm_MouseWheel(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseWheel

     If controlpressed Then
        fs = Me.Font.Size
        If e.Delta < 0 Then
            If fs < 16 Then fs += 1
        Else
            If fs > 8 Then fs -= 1
        End If
        Me.Font = New Font("Arial", fs, FontStyle.Regular, GraphicsUnit.Point)
    End If

That resizes my form with MouseWheel if control key is pressed, similar like browsers behave.
This is wery good in cases when user don't see good and have high monitor resolution.
But problem is with NumericUpDown control. They catch mousewheel event from form and resizing don't happen like with textboxes. I set "increment" property to 0 but that don't helps.
Is here any way to tell NumericUpDown control that they don't catch mousewheel events at way that I don't need to do some special code in mousewheel handler for every NumericUpDown control on the form?
EDIT: Based on Cody Gray's brief tutorial I give finished code for apply "zoom" functionality for winforms.
At startup form's _Load event handler:
Application.AddMessageFilter(New MouseWheelMessageFilter())

Class:
Public Class MouseWheelMessageFilter
Implements IMessageFilter
Public Function PreFilterMessage(ByRef m As Message) As Boolean Implements IMessageFilter.PreFilterMessage
    Const WM_MOUSEWHEEL As Integer = &H20A
    If m.Msg = WM_MOUSEWHEEL And My.Computer.Keyboard.CtrlKeyDown Then
        If Form.ActiveForm IsNot Nothing Then
            Try 'this solves too fast wheeling
                Dim delta As Integer = m.WParam.ToInt32() >> 16
                Dim fs As Single = Form.ActiveForm.Font.Size
                If delta < 0 Then
                    If fs < 16 Then fs += CSng(0.25)
                Else
                    If fs > 8 Then fs -= CSng(0.25)
                End If
                Form.ActiveForm.Font = New Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", fs!, FontStyle.Regular, GraphicsUnit.Point)
            Catch
            End Try
        End If
        Return True
    End If
    Return False
End Function
End Class

That will work for all forms in project.
Unexpectedly nice and useful!
Note, for full zooming efect when resize textboxes and so it is needed to open form.Designer file and delete ".font" property for each control. Then font will be inherited from form.

A: You have a much bigger problem, it isn't just NUD that grabs the MouseWheel event.  The way the Windows message gets handled is unusual and unintuitive to many users:

*

*Windows sends the WM_MOUSEWHEEL message to the control that has the focus, regardless of where the mouse cursor is located.  This stumps many users, and programmers alike, they are used to the way wheeling works on a browser or a program like Word, programs that don't use any controls.  Programs where it doesn't matter where the mouse is located, wheeling always scrolls the page.

*Next unusual thing that happens is that the message bubbles, if the control that has the focus doesn't handle the message then it is passed to its parent.  If the parent doesn't handle it then it gets passed to the parent's parent.  Etcetera.  Which is why your form's MouseWheel event fires, even though the form never has the focus.  Message bubbling is pretty unusual on Windows and thus in Winforms.  But not unusual in browsers or a GUI class library like WPF.
So this explains why NUD eats the message, it has a use for wheeling.  You haven't yet run into the other ones, your program will also misbehave when you put any control on your form that derives from ScrollableControl, like NumericUpDown, Panel, UserControl, SplitContainer, PropertyGrid or ToolStrip.  Or when a control that naturally has a use for scrolling, like TreeView, ListView, TrackBar, RichTextBox, a multi-line TextBox.
This is quite fixable in Winforms, at the risk of breaking the expected behavior of all those other controls, you can intercept the WM_MOUSEWHEEL message before it reaches the control with the focus and pass it to your form instead.  You do so by implementing IMessageFilter in your form.  You'll find sample code in my answer here.

UPDATE: beware of new behavior in Windows 10, it now has the "Scroll inactive windows when I hover over them" option and it is turned on by default.  Which causes the mouse wheel messages to be sent to the control that's being hovered instead of the one that has the focus.  Few users are going to turn that off, it makes using the mouse wheel a lot more intuitive.

A: Your problem is similar to the one that this guy is having, namely that you have a child control (the NumericUpDown control) on your form that is stealing event notifications because it is currently focus. Thus, the parent (your Form) is not getting those event notifications because the child control is handling them and not forwarding them on to its parent. If that didn't make complete sense to you, I strongly recommend reading my answer to his question until you feel like you understand what exactly is happening here. It's important to understand that all Windows programming is event-driven, that event notifications are delivered to the focused window/control, and that only one window/control can have the focus at a time.
The solution to your problem is also the same as the one I proposed to the other guy. You need to move your handling of the MouseWheel event notification up to a higher level in order to ensure that it is not "stolen" and handled by the currently focused control.
You have things quite a bit easier than him, though, because you're using WinForms instead of raw C++. WinForms wraps all of the messy Win32 stuff up nicely in an object-oriented API. What you're looking for is called a message filter, and is implemented in WinForms in terms of the IMessageFilter interface. You add a message filter by calling the Application.AddMessageFilter function and specifying your message filtering class (which implements the IMessageFilter interface). In your message filtering class, you will implement the IMessageFilter.PreFilterMessage function, which is the function that decides whether the message should be passed on to the specific control to which it is destined. What you'll do is check to see if the message is WM_MOUSEWHEEL, and if it is, handle it yourself instead of letting it get passed on. That will prevent all child controls (not just NumericUpDown controls) from handling MouseWheel events and ensure a consistent behavior for this event throughout your application.
A wee bit o' sample code:
Public Class MouseWheelMessageFilter : Implements IMessageFilter
    Public Function PreFilterMessage(ByRef m As Message) As Boolean
      ' Filter out WM_MOUSEWHEEL messages, which raise the MouseWheel event,
      ' whenever the Ctrl key is pressed. Otherwise, let them through.
      Const WM_MOUSEWHEEL As Integer = &H20A
      If m.Msg = WM_MOUSEWHEEL && My.Computer.Keyboard.CtrlKeyDown Then
         ' Process the message here.
         If Form.ActiveForm IsNot Nothing Then
            ' TODO: Insert your code here to adjust the size of the active form.
            ' As shown above in the If statement, you can retrieve the form that
            ' is currently active using the static Form.ActiveForm property.
            ' ...
         End If
         Return True  ' swallow this particular message
      End If
      Return False    ' but let all other messages through
   End Function
End Class

You will also need to ensure that you add the call to Application.AddMessageFilter to your app's Main function, before you display the first form:
Application.AddMessageFilter(New MouseWheelMessageFilter())

(Yes, there are also other hacky solutions that involve modifying the way that your NumericUpDown controls handle the MouseWheel event. But, as I implied above, such approaches will affect only the NumericUpDown controls, not other controls that might also handle this event and thereby prevent it from bubbling up to your parent form. I think installing a message filter is by far the cleanest solution.)

A: The best solution i found for this is a little project in codeproject.com. There is also an explaination how to do it.
Extended NumbericUpDown Control
I cant think of a global solution, since you cannot cancel the mouseevent in early stages (you would be unable to click a button, since you canceled the event). And only disable the mouseWheel part of the mouse event seems also to be nearly impossible.

G protein interacting protein 1 (Gip1) binds and sequesters heterotrimeric G proteins in the cytosolic pool, thus regulating G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signalling for eukaryotic chemotaxis. Here, we report the underlying structural basis of Gip1 function. The crystal structure reveals that the region of Gip1 that binds to the G protein has a cylinder-like fold with a central hydrophobic cavity composed of six α-helices. Mutagenesis and biochemical analyses indicate that the hydrophobic cavity and the hydrogen bond network at the entrance of the cavity are essential for complex formation with the geranylgeranyl modification on the Gγ subunit. Mutations of the cavity impair G protein sequestration and translocation to the membrane from the cytosol upon receptor stimulation, leading to defects in chemotaxis at higher chemoattractant concentrations. These results demonstrate that the Gip1-dependent regulation of G protein shuttling ensures wide-range gradient sensing in eukaryotic chemotaxis.
Heterotrimeric G proteins are important in G protein-coupled receptor signaling, which plays many roles in the detection of various environmental stimuli, including hormones, neurotransmitters, light, smells, and chemical signals. G protein functions are regulated by interactions with Gip1, a protein that sequesters G proteins to block signaling processes. Many studies have attempted to understand the mechanism for this interaction between G proteins and Gip1; none have provided a clear explanation, until now.
In a new study published in Nature Communications, a research team, led by experts from Osaka University, investigated the structure of Gip1 to better understand how Gip1 sequesters G proteins in the cytosol, away from their primary location at the cell membrane. They found that Gip1 contains a hydrophobic (water-fearing) space, with a unique molecular bonding arrangement that allows interactions with G proteins.
"We found that the Gip1 hydrophobic cavity, as well as the hydrogen bond network at its entrance, are critical in the ability of Gip1 to mask the membrane-binding region of heterotrimeric G proteins," says corresponding author Masahiro Ueda. "Experimentally modifying either of these aspects greatly impacted the abilities of Gip1 to bind G proteins and release those proteins when needed."
In the study, the hydrophobic cavity was shown to involve six alpha helices, which is an unusual structural composition for this type of cavity. Because of this unique structure, although Gip1 is similar to other proteins that bind hydrophobic groups, it solely binds to heterotrimeric G proteins.
"Our analyses revealed unique aspects of solubilization of lipophilic G proteins as a regulatory mechanism during eukaryotic chemotaxis, which we used as a model system," says lead author Takero Miyagawa. "Because heterotrimeric G proteins are involved in many different signal transduction processes, our findings are important to both basic science advancements and potential drug development."
In addition to providing a better understanding of the mechanism for Gip1 interaction with G proteins, the researchers showed how this interaction might be disrupted, which may be important in understanding diseases caused by defects in signal transduction.
A schematic showing Gip1 sequestration of G proteins in the cytosol.
G proteins typically attach to the surface of the plasma membrane by anchoring their hydrophobic lipid-attached region into the membrane. However, Gip1 interacts with and masks this lipid-attached region of G proteins, so that G proteins are sequestered in the cytosol. Upon receiving signals from GPCR proteins, the size of the Gip1 binding cavity is reduced, which allows release of G proteins.


An 18-month-old male came to clinic with a fever for 2 days to 101° F. He had a runny nose, mild cough and had been pulling his left ear and complaining of pain. He attended an in-home child care placement where two other children had similar symptoms. The pertinent physical exam showed a mildly ill child with normal vital signs and growth problems. HEENT examination demonstrated copious clear rhinorrhea, normal pharynx and a left tympanic membrane that was red, bulging, with no light reflex and no mobility with insufflation. His right ear was grey with a splayed light reflex and normal insufflation.
The diagnosis of acute otitis media was made and antibiotics were prescribed. During the visit, the child had been offered his mother's smartphone to play games with. She commented that "he always needs to play with my phone" and that "I often can't even make a call because he's playing with it." The physician took this opportunity to try to educate the mother about electronic media use, but she remained skeptical. The child began tantruming as they were leaving the office, because the mother took the phone from him to answer a call.
– Edward R. Murrow, Television Pioneer, 1958 Television and electronic media viewing are almost ubiquitous in the current United States culture. About 90% of parents say their < 2 year old children watch some form of electronic media with an average of 1-2 hours/day of television and 14% of 6-23 months old watch 2 or more hours/day. Children under age 6 years watch about 2 hours of electronic media a day and children 8-18 years watch about 6 hours/day. Parents are often not aware of the amount of time a child may be exposed to electronic media. A 2009 study of in-home and center based child care found that in-home child care had more electronic media viewing (~3 hours/day) than center-based care (~1 hour/day) for preschool children. While televisions and in-car DVD players are specific for particular places, parents often are not aware of the other electronic media exposure dismissing the amount of time children may spend with Apple® iPads and smartphones. These can be significant particularly with the use of wireless Internet connectivity.
Negative effects shown in studies of television and electronic media have included poor attention, language development, social skills, memory, reading comprehension, obesity, sleep problems and aggression/violence.
In the late fall of 2011, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) reasserted its recommendations discouraging media use for all children under 2 years of age. The AAP also recommended that children play with their parents in unstructured, unplugged environments and that families should read with their children to "foster their child's cognitive and language development." If parents do use electronic media, the AAP recommends parents review the content before the child sees it, watching the media with the child and being aware of what adult content is often inadvertently being viewed by having media on in a room where a child is playing. Additionally, the AAP recommends no televisions in a child's bedroom. The AAP also recommends limiting 1-2 hours/day of quality electronic media for older children.
There is data that supports that educational media has beneficial effects or at least is similar to non-media activities in not having negative effects. Most of this data is for older children though.
A 2011 study of 4 year olds found that a fast-paced television cartoon had detrimental effects on short term executive functioning, when compared to educational television and drawing activities. Educational television and electronic media is positively linked with academic achievement and in cognitive skills such as visual spatial skills and problem-solving skills. Other data supports improved school readiness, language and social skills. But how knowledge from electronic media is transferred to other venues is not fully understood. Data like the study above also does not show an advantage of electronic media over other instructional forms.
Development probably plays a large role in how the electronic media consumption influences a particular child. One study found that "…the association between early television viewing and subsequent attentional problems is specific to noneducational viewing and to viewing before age 3." Media use in older children and teens has also been found to be beneficial. A study found that the television show "Mythbusters" (an educational television program depicting scientists attempting to scientifically prove or disprove a particular myth) accurately depicts science and engineering culture and therefore can show students what having a career in science, technology, engineering and mathematics may hold for them.
As with many things in life, everything in moderation. Just like too much or too little water causes flooding or drought, or too much or too little sun can cause skin cancer or Vitamin D deficiency, electronic media use should be moderated, and monitored by parents to help their children.

Since I purchased this car used in 2012 with 26000 miles on it, I have had poltergeist like issues, since day one of owning it, the DIC [Drivier Information Center] has told me that my door has been ajar at 100 kph on the highway when it was clearly closed, ice possible in 35 C weather, but my most disturbing issue is, the passanger seat air bag being engaged and disengaged randomly when no one was sitting in the seat. After a few trips to the dealership and hours of countless research, I appear to be the only person in north america with a haunted passanger seat, the worst part is Richard (the ghost, I named him) sometimes will make the airbag service light pop up, causing me to briefly lose my mind, resulting in a downwards haymaker to the seat, which seems to cure the problem for a few weeks, I've had the seat belt replaced, seat sensors, wiring, also the entire SRS system checked but Richard contiues to plague me, maybe he is the spirit of the previous owner... I'll never know.

Renee Olstead on Recording her New Album and Giving Back
The 23-year-old actress opens up about the end of The Secret Life of the American Teenager and her upcoming world tour.
By Sierra Tishgart
Renee Olstead sure is busy. She's co-stared on a hit ABC Family series that's had a four-year run. She's recorded five studio albums, and has a new one dropping in December. And on top of all that, she's working towards an undergraduate degree and devoting extensive time to supporting two charities (proof of her commitment: she's written op-eds for The Huffington Post). The busy performer somehow found time in her schedule to swing by our offices, and we caught up with her about wrapping up Secret Life and pursuing other passions.
What can we expect from your new album?
"My first single, 'She's Got Your Name,' just came out. I wrote it with my boyfriend, who I met when I signed to Warner Brothers, and he's now my musical director. I love the Amy Winehouse sixties girl group sound—and The Ronettes and The Crystals, so that's what we've been working on. It's supposed to come out in the middle of December."
What inspired the single?
"My boyfriend had written some music, and he said I should write lyrics to it. This was the first song that we wrote together. I was driving in my car and I was listening to the radio, and there was this interview about a woman who only dates married men. I realized I'd never heard song lyrics from this perspective of being in love with someone who's taken. I pulled the car over. All of the good songs come out in five minutes, and I wrote it on my iPhone."
You also have a movie coming out, The Midnight Game. What's it about?
"I'm excited. It's my first scary movie. It's a bunch of kids trapped inside of a house, and they accept a dare."
Were you spooked while filming it?
"You know, I really was! I was afraid of the house—it was supposedly haunted. It was built in the early-mid 1800s, and it was super remote. There were woods all the way around it. There were definitely times when we'd be upstairs and there would be a hallway that didn't have a light on, and I'd walk fast."
You're working on the last season of Secret Life of the American Teenager. Do you have any idea how the show will end?
"We've had a couple false alarms with Ricky and Amy getting married. I'm not sure what's going to happen, or who is going to end up together. Our producers may decide—instead of kind of going along with what originally was planned—to make some crazy stuff happen."
What causes are important to you?
"I love animals. I'm getting ready to do a campaign with PETA. I went vegetarian when I was twelve, and I went vegan about a year and a half ago. I actually did a pilot for a show and there was this character that had a line: 'I don't eat anything with a face.' I made the connection between life and what's on my plate. Ever since then, I haven't been able to eat meat."
"The other cause that I really care about is human trafficking. There are two organizations that I'm working with: Somaly Mam and Not For Sale. It's easy to not realize that this happens because it's not something you see a lot in America. It's an epidemic. I write for The Huffington Post, too, and I did a piece on Somaly Mam."
You're also earning an undergraduate degree in psychology. How do you make time for that?
"There's a school in L.A. called Mount St. Mary's, which is a fantastic private women's college, and they have classes on weekends. From eight in the morning to six at night on weekends I go to class. It's a little tough, but I love psychology and learning about people. I'm a huge fan of iTunes U. I'm looking at grad schools right now, and also auditioning and planning a tour."
What do you have planned for your tour?
"I will be starting a world tour on Nov 15. It's through the Philippines, Thailand, Canada, Chile and all sorts of places!"

The New Orleans Business Alliance (NOLABA) is pleased to announce three new additions to its leadership team – a Chief Financial Officer, Vice President of External Affairs and Policy, and Vice President of Marketing and Communications.
Norman Barnum IV joins the team as CFO, bringing recent experience from the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program at Delgado Community College and the Ogontz Avenue Revitalization Corporation in Philadelphia. In 2017 as director of Evaluation and Business Support, Barnum managed all aspects of data analytics and metrics related to the 10,000 Small Businesses Program, providing proof of impact for the Goldman Sachs Foundation. Previously from 2006-14, Barnum served as CFO at OARC, a community economic development corporation with eight subsidiaries (including a charter school and a restaurant) stimulating sustainable economic development in the Northwest section of the city. Barnum secured $20 million for expansion of the charter school subsidiary and consolidated an operating budget of more than $16 million annually. His work earned him a nomination for CFO of the Year for Nonprofits from the Drexel School of Business in 2009. He founded Barnum Group, LLC in 2015, a financial and management consulting firm focused on real estate development, tax planning, operational assessments and strategic planning.
Nolan Marshall III joins NOLABA as Vice President of External Affairs and Policy, responsible for representing the organization and the business community with public partners and elected officials at the local, state, and federal level. In his role, Marshall will advocate for legislation and policy favorable to New Orleans' economic competitiveness. Marshall served as Director of Public Affairs and Policy at the Downtown Development District from 2013-16 before serving as President and Executive Director at Uptown Dallas, Inc., the public improvement district in Dallas' historic Uptown neighborhood. Marshall was Secretary and Treasurer of the New Orleans BioDistrict from 2008-12, involved in master planning and marketing for the medical district. Former Mayor Mitch Landrieu appointed Marshall to the City Planning Commission in 2013, and he served as Chair in 2016. He earned 40 Under 40 honors from Gambit Weekly in 2011 for his work as Associate Director of Common Good, a group of organizations with a common goal of helping New Orleans solve problems post-Hurricane Katrina, and Principal of Good Citizen Consulting, a firm specializing in community relations, organizational development and political consulting.
Morgan Stewart joins the staff as Vice of President of Marketing and Communications after spending more than 25 years in various high-level communications and marketing roles. He brings to NOLABA experience in successful economic development organizations as well as leadership roles in two Fortune 200 corporations. Stewart was communications director for Virginia Gov. George Allen's Secretariat of Commerce and Trade, managing public relations and marketing efforts for the Governor's record-breaking economic development initiatives that secured $16 billion in new business investments and expansions, creating 300,000 jobs in four years. Stewart also managed media relations for the Virginia Economic Development Partnership, Virginia Port Authority and 12 other government agencies. He then managed media relations for Circuit City Stores, Inc., handling national and local media in more than 150 media markets. In 2000, Stewart returned home to New Orleans to spend the next 13 years in communications and external affairs at Entergy. Stewart began his Entergy career handling national media relations, crisis communication and the marketing communications for the corporation's $30 million Low Income Customer Service Initiative. He then managed the Entergy New Orleans marketing communications department in the Katrina aftermath. From 2010 to 2013, he served as manager of External Affairs, managing key external low income and environmental initiatives, while creating the groundbreaking School Zone initiative. Most recently, as principal of Stewart Communications he provided marketing and communications services to companies such as PosiGen Solar Solutions, Another Broken Egg Cafe, Crescent City Cyber Security and Sigora Solar in Virginia.


DENVER – In a letter from Public Policy Director Denise Maes, the ACLU of Colorado strongly urged Governor Hickenlooper to sign HB 17-1313, a bill passed by more than three-fourths of the Colorado legislature to rein in civil asset forfeiture and ensure that property seizures in Colorado abide by due process protections in Colorado law.
Civil asset forfeiture is a controversial practice in which law enforcement can seize – and then keep or sell – any property, including cash, vehicles, and even homes, that they allege is involved in a crime.
In 2002, the Colorado legislature strengthened Colorado's civil forfeiture law, but police departments have increasingly avoided the requirements of that law by teaming up with federal agencies and seizing property under much less stringent federal law. In 2014 alone, $13.5 million in assets were seized in Colorado under federal law. HB 17-1313 closes that loophole by providing a clear incentive for property with a net worth of $50,000 or less to be seized under state law, not federal law.
"Opponents argue that HB 1313 will make crime fighting more difficult because if there are less forfeiture actions under federal law, local law enforcement agencies will get less money and, therefore, not be able to fight crime. This position is untenable and frankly, I'm surprised this argument is asserted with such vigor," Maes wrote in the ACLU letter, which was sent by email to Governor Hickenlooper yesterday evening.
HB 17-1313 also increases transparency into police forfeiture activities. Departments will be required to detail to the public when they use civil asset forfeiture and list what was taken and what ultimately happened to the property. Law enforcement will also have to report if the person from whom the property was taken was ever charged with or convicted of a crime.
