This past week we have been away in Italy for the Salone Del Mobile in Milan.
Salone Del Mobile is a Furniture Fair consisting of over 2000 exhibitors over 200,000 Square Metres.
The 1st ever Salone Del Mobile was held on the 24th of September 1961, After the Second World War Internal demand for furniture became highly saturated for the designers in Italy.
They began to think of ways to increase their Export and become more recognised, a small group of Furniture makers founded the Federlegno Trade Organisation, following this the Italian Federation of Wood and Cork Industries Contacted 13 independant Furniture companies and created the "Italian Furniture FAir Promotion Committee"
The Committee consisted of Michele Barovero, Alessandro Besana, Franco Cassina, Piero Dal Vera, Vittorio Dassi, Angelo De Baggis, Mario Dosi, Aldo Falcioni, Angelo Marelli, Angelo Molteni, Silvano Montina, Mario Roncoroni and Vittorio Villa.
The 1st Salone Del Mobile was held at Pavillions 28 & 34 Old La Campionaria Fair on the 24th of September 1961, It was hugely successful and since that day has continued to have enduring success and global recognition setting a real benchmark for design/ furniture fairs around the world.
This Years 2018 Salone Del Mobile Milan was certainly not going to let us down with designers from around the world attending to showcase their latest work!
Designers like Kartell, Vitra, Campeggi, Muuto, Magis, Fritz Hansen and Light Years to name a few.
With so many fantastic designers in one venue it's no wonder so many flock to attend!
Variety was something that wasn't lacking! here a few of the designs that caught our eye this year.


In ChargePoint, Inc. v. SemaConnect, Inc., the Federal Circuit has affirmed a ruling of patent ineligible subject matter for four patents covering electric vehicle charging technology. The Court's ruling, which affirmed the District of Maryland's grant of a motion to dismiss under 35 U.S.C. § 101, sheds doubt on the vitality of the recent subject matter guidance issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
ChargePoint's patents cover various features of its electric vehicle charging stations. As one example, claim 1 of U.S. Patent No. 8,138,715 recites a control device, a transceiver, and a controller which exchange communications for the purpose of turning on and off an electric supply for charging electric vehicles. Other claims in the case recite additional physical components, including a charge transfer device, a current measuring device, or an electrical receptacle configured to receive a connector from the electric vehicle.
The Court began its analysis by stating that claim 1 of the '715 Patent clearly involves the abstract idea of "communication over a network." Correctly noting that the Alice framework requires a determination of whether claims are "directed to" an abstract idea, the Court then turned to a review of the specification. The Court found that the description of the invention contained in the specification was essentially limited to "network-controlled charging stations." According to the Federal Circuit, "the invention of the patent is nothing more than the abstract idea of communication over a network for interacting with a device, applied to the context of electric vehicle charging stations." The Court concluded that ChargePoint's claims would preclude the use of any network-connected electric vehicle charging station.
Proceeding to the second step of the Alice framework, the Federal Circuit found that the claims did not include "significantly more" than the identified abstract idea. According to the Court, the claims' inventive concept was directed to solving problems in the remote control and deployment of electric vehicle charging stations. Because the Court concluded that the claims solved that problem only through their incorporation of the abstract idea of "network communication," it held that the abstract idea could not save the claims' eligibility.
The Federal Circuit's expansive application of § 101 in ChargePoint portends serious consequences for the USPTO's recent § 101 guidance. In January of 2019, the USPTO announced an overhaul of its application of § 101, in a move which has already seen a fall in patentable subject matter rejections of pending applications. In the first part of its guidance, the USPTO announced three specific categories of abstract ideas: mathematical concepts, certain methods of organizing human activity, and mental processes. According to the USPTO, claims which do not recite one of these ideas will not be rejected under § 101 except in rare circumstances. In the second part of its guidance, the USPTO went further, announcing that claims are not "directed to" an abstract idea under Alice "if the claim as a whole integrates the recited judicial exception into a practical application of that exception." The guidance instructs that a claim should not be rejected where it recites the abstract idea "in a manner that imposes a meaningful limit" on the use of the abstract idea.
The Federal Circuit's holding in ChargePoint may be impossible to reconcile with the USPTO's 2019 § 101 guidance. ChargePoint's claims directed to enabling or disabling charging of a vehicle with an electric power supply do not on their face fit within any of the three categories of abstract ideas announced by the USPTO. Moreover, even accepting the Federal Circuit's identification of an abstract idea, the claims seem to integrate their subject matter into a practical, and rather limited, exception: electric vehicle charging stations. It could likewise be argued that the vehicle charging-specific components in ChargePoint's claims "impose a meaningful limit" on its usage of network communications.
The consequences of the Federal Circuit's recent decisions, however, cannot be ignored. As long as the USPTO continues to follow its recent guidance, the danger exists that the Office will grant patents under an application of § 101 that may not hold up in federal court. Simply put, the USPTO may be creating a new generation of patents whose validity will last only until tested under an Alice framework in federal court. Such a result is particularly unfortunate in view of the public's positive reaction to the clarity and direction provided by the USPTO's recent guidance. Unless the Supreme Court undertakes to clarify the law of subject matter eligibility post-Alice, the Federal Circuit's decisions in ChargePoint and Cleveland Clinic forebode future conflict between the USPTO and courts in this unpredictable area of the law.


Both cyclic and acyclic imides as well as hydrazoic acid (HN3) can be alkylated using the Mitsunobu reaction (see Mitsunobu, O. Synthesis 1981, 1). The reaction generally proceeds with complete inversion of stereochemistry at the alcohol reacting center.
Dissolved 0.471 g of alcohol I in 10 mL of dry THF. Stirred at rt. Added 0.459 g of DEAD followed by 0.695 g of Ph3P and 0.390 g of phthalimide. After 16 h, TLC (10:90 EtOAc-hexanes, PMA) shows unreacted starting material at Rf 0.35 and product spot at Rf 0.51. Added an additional 0.088 g of phthalimide, 0.184 g of Ph3P and 0.144 g of DEAD. After 5 h, the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation to give a viscous yellow oil. The product was isolated by flash chromatography on silica gel using 10:90 EtOAc-hexanes as eluant. The product was a clear, pale yellow oil.

On Tour with The Leopard Who Claimed a Wolf (Cry Wolf Book 6) by Sarah Mäkelä
By viviana-mackade on January 15, 2019 • ( Leave a comment )
I'll admit my ignorance, and say this is the first book I want to read where both Leads are were–something. But, maybe for the setting, maybe because I can't understand when is set (there's something strange, almost dissonant, about the how they talk and what they say), but I'm so very curious about the series (different couple each book, except from the couple in this book, whose story starts in book 4). And hey, the first book in the series in free so why not start a new one?
The book is The Leopard Who Claimed a Wolf (Cry Wolf Book 6) by Sarah Mäkelä, out today in the New Adults, Paranormal Genre.
Synopsis.
When a wolf loves a leopard…
He's her protector… Caitlyn Fraser, a wereleopard who has always hated cruel werewolves, is the former prisoner turned mate of Dougal Sterling, Alpha of the Scottish pack. She's courting jeopardy with her determination to attend the funeral of her brother's father, since the Pack blames her for Alistair's death. But still Dougal protects her from his wolves.
Her defender… Short of allies, Dougal struggles to balance loyalty and attention between the Pack and Caitlyn. When the Pack's stability crumbles, he's faced with the return of his older brother, the rightful Alpha, who shirked his duty after their father's death. However, Ewan's challenge will be a battle to the death. Sheltering Caitlyn can only lose Dougal more friends, but he knows she's the mate he's longed for.
But survival takes two… Menace lurks in every corner of the Highlands; Alistair and Ewan's supporters and haters of shapeshifters abound. Caitlyn and Dougal must stick together, pushing back fiercely when they are attacked. Even if that puts them in mortal danger…

The driveway leading up to the Scottish Pack's massive headquarters stretched almost half a mile. I rested my chin on my arms and stared out of the Alpha's window on the second story, overlooking the circular section of the drive. The Pack's castle came complete with its very own dungeon, but at least they weren't keeping me in there anymore. The memory of Alistair's craggy face haunted my dreams each time I closed my eyes. His brutal fists hammered away against my face, ribs, and stomach, until I could no longer sleep.
Tension radiated through my shoulders, and I balled my hands into fists. No, Alistair—Colin's father—was dead. Dougal had protected me, and my brother, from that monster when I didn't have the strength to fight back.
Not that it mattered.
Two days had passed since my brother's sudden departure. Now Colin was on his own with no one to watch his back. How could he leave without saying anything to me? I flexed my fists again, welcoming the anger as it bubbled up in my chest and replaced my sadness.
The heavy weight of a man's hand descended on my back. I twisted around, my knuckles connecting with a solid jaw lined with dark, coarse stubble. A familiar jaw. Shite.
Dougal stumbled back half a step, but then he planted his feet like a tree with strong roots, not budging any further. Sharp power flared outward from him before he squelched it, stretching the muscles in his jaw. A frown tugged at his lips, and the corners of his eyes creased, either in pain or displeasure.
"Dougal! I'm so sorry." The sudden movement of punching him had shot a searing ache through my battered ribs again. The pain stole my breath away, but I tried to force it down. How could I have been so careless? If he'd been anyone else in the Pack, I would've caused World War III.
"Dinnae fash. The punch bloody well hurt, though. I didn't realize you were so strong." Dougal's frown melted away as he pulled me closer and pressed a kiss to my forehead. "Seems like you're recovering your strength." His gaze drifted past me to the long gravel driveway of the estate. "How are you doing, love?"
The emotions I'd been stomping down now bubbled to the surface again. "I cannae believe Colin left me. He left before I even regained consciousness. How could he?"
With anyone else, I wouldn't show weakness, but I rested my forehead against Dougal's chest, needing his touch and savoring his warmth. "I barely had time to talk with him, and when I did, it wasn't a good time to ask how he was doing after the months he'd spent in that bloody research facility—or even to ask where he would go to heal…"
Tears welled in my eyes, but I held them back, refusing to cry. "I gave up so much—my job, my flat, my life—while trying to track him and bring him home. What if my sacrifices were all for naught?"
"Nae, they weren't for naught, love." Dougal kissed the top of my head. "I know you're hurting. You have plenty of reasons to be, but the man who came back wasn't the same one who left for the United States." He lifted my chin, forcing me to see the sincerity in his clear blue eyes. "Whatever those scientists did affected him in ways neither of us will probably ever know. Waiting at the window won't make him return any sooner." He wrapped his arms around me and gently pulled me against his chest again. "Let me draw you a bath. Remember, I'm here if you need to talk."
He was right, even if I didn't want to admit it. Waiting for Colin's return wouldn't help, but what else could I do? "I know, but that doesn't make this any easier for me. He's my younger brother. I feel helpless that I cannae be there for him…again." A heavy ache settled on my heart, and I pulled away hating the awkward emotions crushing me.
Dougal turned away from me and stared out of the window again. His jaw clenched and unclenched, as if he were trying hard to hold in his words. A lot was going on in his life too, and yet he was making a strong effort to support me through my problems. Things had become increasingly strained between him and his Pack since my arrival and Duncan and Alistair's subsequent deaths. He didn't talk about what he faced, and I didn't want to pressure him.
After a few moments of silence, he released a sigh and turned back toward me. "You've done what you could for him, lass." The ghost of a grin spread across his lips. "Do you still want the bath?"

Help! Clutter in my drawer!How to store beauty products?
Does finding your favourite eye shadow seem like mission impossible? Too many beauty products and not enough space? There is a clever way to get everything organized. A few simple tips will help you to cut clutter.
It may be hard to find a shadow among 10 similar ones without digging into your drawer. If you can, store all eye shadows and lipsticks in a see-through cabinets or boxes. This way you would be able to see where the product is without opening the container.
First step is to clean your clutter cabinets and drawers. Separate foundations from eye shadows, and pressed powders. Your precious lipsticks also need to have a separate place. You do not polish your nails so the collection of your nail polishes can occupy the bottom drawer or shelf. Now, it is time to prioritize your staff according to the type of the product. Divide each product into 3 categorises. First category will consists of staff that you use most often eg. foundations or lipsticks and allocate them in the top drawer or on the top shelf. Products that you use for special occasions need to be in the middle part. All duplicates go to the very bottom. Brushes should be standing upright so the bristles are not deformed. You can put them inside a jar or a small flower vase.
Organising the storage for your beauty stuff in a bedroom is a good idea on the condition that they are not exposed to the direct sunlight. Bathroom is not a good place for your staff as the humidity and moisture may change products' properties. Most of the make-up products ought to be stored at room temperature, which is around below 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Many woman wrongly think that refrigeration equals preservation. Storing a mascara in your fridge is not going to prolong its shelf life. There are some products; however, that may have a different quality chilled. Your cold eye cream boosts blood circulation and can help to take away any puffiness and minimalize dark circles under eyes. Additionally, if your lipstick has melted a bit you can put it in a fridge for an hour or two so it will distribute evenly.

/**
 * Buffered DMA engine helper class
 *
 * This class implements a simple DMA engine that feeds a FIFO
 * buffer. The size of the buffer, the maximum number of pending
 * requests and the maximum request size are all set when the engine
 * is instantiated.
 *
 * An asynchronous transfer of a block of data
 * (designated by a start address and a size) is started by calling
 * the startFill() method. The DMA engine will aggressively try to
 * keep the internal FIFO full. As soon as there is room in the FIFO
 * for more data and there are free request slots, a new fill
 * will be started.
 *
 * Data in the FIFO can be read back using the get() and tryGet()
 * methods. Both request a block of data from the FIFO. However, get()
 * panics if the block cannot be satisfied, while tryGet() simply
 * returns false. The latter call makes it possible to implement
 * custom buffer underrun handling.
 *
 * A simple use case would be something like this:
 * \code{.cpp}
 *     // Create a DMA engine with a 1KiB buffer. Issue up to 8 concurrent
 *     // uncacheable 64 byte (maximum) requests.
 *     DmaReadFifo *dma = new DmaReadFifo(port, 1024, 64, 8,
 *                                        Request::UNCACHEABLE);
 *
 *     // Start copying 4KiB data from 0xFF000000
 *     dma->startFill(0xFF000000, 0x1000);
 *
 *     // Some time later when there is data in the FIFO.
 *     uint8_t data[8];
 *     dma->get(data, sizeof(data))
 * \endcode
 *
 *
 * The DMA engine allows new blocks to be requested as soon as the
 * last request for a block has been sent (i.e., there is no need to
 * wait for pending requests to complete). This can be queried with
 * the atEndOfBlock() method and more advanced implementations may
 * override the onEndOfBlock() callback.

We are experiiencing problems retrieving Catalog items back in to the SRM system where the web browser is IE8 and the OS Windows 7.0 - A blank screen is returned and the transaction is left hanging.
With earlier releases of IE and Windows we don't have any issues.
Having read some of the notes for later releases of SRM the advice appears to be to add each of these catalogs to the 'Trusted Sites Zones' - Has anyone resolved the problem with changes to the system that does not require us having to add every new web catalog to our Global Trusted Site Zone within our Company?


July | 2015 | Get Mended!
Coming up, coming down… Yeah, as a triathlete, in the water, you do a lot of that but yesterday it took on a more ethereal meaning.
In my quest to become "friends" with water, I took a Learn to Dive class. I'll pretty much do anything water related to toughen myself mentally in preparation of my quest to swim 1.2 miles and taking this class definitely put a few more muscles in my swim confidence.
My instructor, Johnathan Biggs, was about as perfect as an instructor could get. Patient, kind, encouraging, correction without making you feel like a complete loser and quite witty. First was the classroom. You know the do's, don't's, hand signals, safety: all the legal stuff that you need to know before coming down. I learned a great deal, best Groupon I've used.
After class, it was time for show-tell-do. I watched him outfit his Buoyancy Compensator Device -BCD (i.e., the vest that holds the tank and thing you breath in) and I was able to mimic him down to the insertion of the extra weight. Next came the "real deal" getting in the water with the tank on. Umm, yeah, it's definitely different. It's like playing in the pool with someone on your shoulders, although I don't really know what that's like because I've never done that, but I imagine the experiences are similar. So, once I got the breathing into the aspirator down, it was time to come down, and so I went. Now, if you're a swimmer, you've sat on the floor of the shallow end of the pool before and it probably was no big deal. Well, hovering over the floor in the shallow end, palms on the floor with a BCD on your back, aspirator in mouth while wearing a mask that covers your nose is quite the experience. I'm not used to breathing out of my mouth, especially underwater, so that was an adjustment. I felt panicky because I felt my nose was stopped up and it was hard to breathe but it wasn't because I had pure air in my mouth, I had to remember to inhale. I had my GoPro and I got some footage but not sure how much because, you know, I walk around in a dazed and confused state and I forgot to make sure the battery was fully charged but nevertheless, I mastered the underwater mouth breathing w/aspirator. Now, why is it whenever you make a little progress, instructors/teachers always want more? Excited that I had the breathing down, we ventured out of the shallow to the 10ft. Now, diving is an experience in that you can't wear earplugs so this is where it gets good and wet.
Clearing the pressure from one's ears, while wearing a mask over your nose that occasionally may get water in it, while breathing out of your mouth takes a little bit of skill and lots of practice. Took me a minute to master the water release from the mask without completely drowning myself but I was able to give the OK sign and move on to the real Molly.
The BCD is the technical name for my Molly, the air inflater/deflater thing was my ticket to maintain perfect buoyancy. It pumps air in and out of the vest to help you ascend and descend. Once in the 10ft, swimming back and forth without using my legs was a serious challenge, because hey, Triathletes are conditioned to using our legs, sometimes in the water but it's the exact opposite here. Bad thing about my swimming back and forth is that I would run into the wall and become vertical and in scuba diving, you don't want to do that too quick because of the pressure and you could literally pop a lung. Took a few trips but I got the hang of it and was able to circle swim over the 10ft edge.
All total, I spent about 45 minutes to an hour Learning to Dive and I must say, it was one of the most peaceful experiences I think I've ever had. Time seemed to stand still underwater. I could hear and actually control my breathing, whenever I felt myself get anxious. I was listening to my breathing and allowing my body to work. NEVER did that before. I tried listening to my breathing while running, yeah, totally didn't work. Here, I felt serene, happy, calm and very present and aware. My mind felt at rest, all that while submerged underwater, breathing out of my mouth. Go figure.
John said scuba diving changes peoples lives and he's right. There's something to be said about it and for me, it's the ultimate definition of "going with the flow". In scuba diving, less is best and in a world where we are constantly being told we need and want more, it was a welcome change. There were many highs and lows and I happily embraced them all.
Now, regarding my parallelization, I had to Google Molly and after reading up on it, scuba diving is definitely my Tom Ford. The BCD (inflater/delflater) is what helps you achieve Neutral Buoyancy – the state where you are neither floating nor sinking. For me, it was that perfect high people talk about. I've never had a runner's high, probably never will but I did have a moment of euphoria when I crossed the finish line of my first Tri but this feeling was different. It stayed with me, is still with me now and most "drugs" don't last that long. The effects were so lasting, I was able to reduce my rest time while doing my laps in the pool today. So much so, that I was able to lower the times of my 300, 400 and 800yd swim. I didn't do anything different, but I felt better in the water. I felt like the water's friend.
Habits are normally expensive, this one is no exception but as long as I remember the rules, I shouldn't suffer any negative, long-term effects. This experience was good for my mental health, Namaste.
Hold up, I don't pop Molly, I rock Scuba Diving.
But my ears do pop! What ails ya?

Inconsistency, not injury, at root of Tanaka issues
NEW YORK – Masahiro Tanaka's arm health has always been a particularly sensitive issue to the Yankees.
And lately, the organization has been resolute about the condition of their ace right-hander's arm, repeatedly offering that there were no reasons to link his worst MLB string of starts to any physical issues.
"I mean, what sign would you say that he is hurt?'' Yankees manager Joe Girardi before Tanaka's start on Friday night at the Stadium against Oakland. "If a (hitter) goes 0-for-20 are we to assume that he's hurt?''
Tanaka's velocity has actually been higher than normal this season through his first nine starts.
"There's no drop-off in velocity, there's no extra treatment, he hasn't said he couldn't throw a bullpen (session between starts),'' Girardi said of Tanaka's routines and tendencies being normal. "He hasn't said he couldn't take a start (this season).
"And we look for signs, too,'' Girardi said. "You look for signs like, is he getting more treatment? And there's been none of that.''
After last Saturday's dreadful three-inning outing at Tampa Bay, his second straight poor start, Tanaka was instructed to go back to the basics by pitching coach Larry Rothschild, who suggested they simply the right-hander's approach.
"He likes to change some things occasionally,'' Rothschild said after Tanaka gave up six runs on nine hits (including three homers) in three innings in an 8-5 loss to the Rays at Tampa Bay last Saturday. "I think it's easy when things are going well to make some adjustments than when things are going bad.
"In his mind, (we need to) make the game a little easier and not try to complicate it.''
Girardi saw improvement in Tanaka's slider last outing, but the splitter failed to dive and the fastball strayed over the middle again – just as it did in Tanaka's May 14 start, when he gave up eight runs in 1.2 innings at the Stadium against Houston.
"You're not seeing the depth in some of his splits, you're not seeing the break in some of his sliders that he's had in the past,'' Girardi said. And those two pitches are "extremely important (to produce) swings and misses, where at-bats aren't prolonged.''
Though "it's been a struggle'' most of the year for Tanaka to develop consistency with his arsenal, "there's nothing that leads us to believe there's an injury. It's just inconsistency.''
Jacoby Ellsbury was following the normal protocol following a concussion he suffered on Wednesday, when he slammed into the center field wall while making a sensational catch on the game's first pitch against Kansas City.
Girardi said Ellsbury won't be doing much for a few days, and that they'd allow the doctors and head athletic trainer Steve Donohue decide what he can do and when. Ellsbury was placed on the seven-day concussion disabled list and there is no specific timetable for his return to the Yankees' lineup. "Concussions are too hard to predict,'' Girardi said.
Greg Bird (bone bruise, right ankle) ran the bases before Friday's game as he continued to increase his baseball activity. Bird is due to travel to Tampa, Fla., on Sunday to continue his workouts and to play in an extended spring training game before starting a minor-league rehab assignment with Class A Tampa sometime next week.
Aroldis Chapman (left rotator cuff strain) was to be re-examined on Friday and begin a throwing program on Saturday. The flame-throwing lefty has been on the 10-day disabled list retroactive to May 13 and isn't expected to return to his closer's role until mid-June.

Grades K-1: All About Emotions
By Milagros Montalvo
Teach feelings and friendship now to avoid behavior problems later.
PreK–K, 1–2
Better BFFs
Standard Met: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.K.2
What You Need: Chrysanthemum, by Kevin Henkes; The Recess Queen, by Alexis O'Neill; Enemy Pie, by Derek Munson; chart paper; markers
What to Do: "The most important thing I teach my little ones is how to be a good friend," says Haley O'Connor, a first-grade teacher at Freeman Elementary School in Irving, Texas. O'Connor, who blogs at My Silly Firsties, begins this important lesson at the start of the year by creating an anchor chart with her class.
First, she reads Chrysanthemum, The Recess Queen, and Enemy Pie aloud. (All three books address friendship and bullying.) As she reads, she asks questions like "Is it nice to call friends names?" and "What are ways these characters could be better friends?"
Then, O'Connor writes the essential question of the lesson — "What does a good friend do?" — on a sheet of chart paper. As her students share their ideas, she asks them to explain their reasoning and she lists the strongest answers on the chart. O'Connor makes sure to include the following: "doesn't hit or kick," "plays fairly," "forgives," and "is not a bully." When the chart is complete, she posts it on her wall and encourages kids to refer to it throughout the year.
Color Me Silly
Standards Met: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.K.6; SL.K.5
What You Need: My Many Colored Days, by Dr. Seuss; chart paper; marker; white oil pastels; thick white paper; small brushes; watercolor palettes
What to Do: Teaching kids about emotions — and how to express them — helps to create a productive classroom environment. To begin, read My Many Colored Days, a story that illustrates various emotions by assigning each a color. (For example, sad is purple.) While reading, prompt students to take notice of each color and how it might relate to that emotion.
Then, ask your class to choose four or five emotions from the book, such as angry, silly, sad, and happy. On chart paper, create columns for each emotion. Prompt your students to share what makes them feel each of these emotions. For instance, "I get sad when my friend won't play with me," or "I get angry when I can't have an extra dessert." Record the answers on the chart.
Next, invite your students to explore their emotions through art. Hand out painting supplies and ask what "color" day they are having, using the color relationships in My Many Colored Days as a key (red for happy, pink for silly, rainbow for mixed up, and so on). Ask your students to draw and label their chosen emotion on a sheet of white paper with a white oil pastel. Their drawings can be abstract (think Rothko-esque blocks of color or chaotic, angry swirls) or representational, like the drawings in the book. Then, have students paint over their drawings in the color or colors that match their emotion. The white drawing will appear like magic beneath the watercolor paint!
To extend the activity, ask each student to share why he or she feels happy, scared, silly, or angry. As you share, talk about strategies for managing emotions, such as telling others how you're feeling or by taking a short break, and record these strategies on the chart.
Get a Cue
What You Need: Black markers; one 7-inch square of white paper per student
What to Do: Julie Voigt, a retired art teacher, used portrait drawing to teach facial expressions and help her youngest students learn to recognize emotions. Before the lesson, Voigt, who has taught across the United States and in Hong Kong, had her students draw the outline of their faces on a seven-inch square of paper, focusing on the shape of their head, neck, and ears, while leaving out facial features. She then labeled her students' drawings with their names and made four photocopies of each.
During the next class period, Voigt told students they would learn about four emotions: happy, sad, angry, and scared. She handed them the four copies of their drawings, keeping them stacked face up. Then, she described an emotion, such as happy, and asked her students to turn to one another and make a happy face.
"Act out being happy along with the children, exaggerating your facial features," advises Voigt, who blogs at Art for Small Hands. "Ask questions like 'What shape is a smiling mouth?' 'Do the teeth show?' 'Do the eyes change?' Then, ask the children to take the first copy of their face outline and their marker and draw a happy face." When her students had completed their drawings, she would ask them to put their markers down and wait for the rest of the class to finish.
Voigt repeated this process for the three remaining emotions, asking questions such as "What shape is a sad mouth?" "How do the eyes appear?" or "What shape does a mouth take when it screams?" "What might your eyes look like if you saw a ghost or a monster?"
Once their four drawings are complete, encourage your students to look out for these facial cues when interacting with their classmates.
Inside Your Head
Standard Met: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.K.1.b
What You Need: Chart paper, marker, safety scissors, white paper, colored construction paper, glue sticks, magazines and catalogs
What to Do: The foundation for a great school year begins with a strong sense of classroom community. Set the tone by encouraging your students to learn about one another. Amy Stults, a homeschool teacher from Columbus, Ohio, gets a window into her younger students' worlds by creating collages with her homeschool groups.
To begin, Stults finds an empty wall space and traces silhouettes of each of her students' heads in profile on a piece of white paper. If you have a large class, reproduce one silhouette for each student or pair students and ask them to trace each other's shadows. Cut out the individual silhouettes. Then, use a glue stick to mount the silhouette onto a colored sheet of construction paper. (For larger classes, have students complete these steps, too.)
In class, Stults hands out the individual silhouettes and tells her students they will create a collage depicting their thoughts, emotions, and interests. She then brings out magazines and catalogs, and kids cut out images and words from them to paste within their silhouettes. To complete the project, encourage your students to share what's "in their heads" with the rest of the class.

National Ombudsmen
Lambeth Council criticised for "very poor service" on housing repair
Three Lambeth Council tenants experienced significant delays and inconvenience because of delay in putting right serious disrepair in their homes.
Three Lambeth Council tenants experienced significant delays and inconvenience because of delay in putting right serious disrepair in their homes, finds Local Government Ombudsman, Dr Jane Martin. In her report, issued today, she says the tenants have received a very poor service since they raised their concerns, and added. "Even when some delay was unavoidable, there have been problems with the Council's communication with all three tenants."
Three tenants complained about the Council's failure to put right serious disrepair in their homes – such as ceiling and other leaks, and windows needing repair – within a reasonable period, together with poor service and communication. This has caused them stress, inconvenience and frustration.
The Ombudsman said: "The Council has a duty to keep the structure and exterior of its homes in repair. Although the Council has shown a willingness to carry out repairs and to carry out additional work which it has no obligation to do, the work required has not been completed within a reasonable time period. I consider that the Council has taken too long to resolve the issues raised in this case and that this delay was maladministration and service failure which has caused injustice to the complainants."
The Council recognises that there have been shortcomings in all three cases and has taken a number of measures with the aim of improving its service in the future. Nevertheless, in the Ombudsman's view, the steps taken to date do not satisfactorily remedy the injustice suffered by all three tenants.
The Ombudsman said the Council should apologise and pay compensation of £1,000 each to two tenants, and £500 to the third, as well as completing the outstanding works.

Russian Senator Says Mueller Report Gives Trump 'Full Hand of Trump Cards' and His Chance of Re-election Is Now 'Much Stronger'
By Jason Lemon On 3/25/19 at 9:30 AM EDT
World Donald Trump International Affairs 2020 Election Russia investigation
Politicians in Moscow have reacted to the U.S. attorney general's summary of special counsel Robert Mueller's key findings, with one leading Russian senator suggesting the probe's conclusion will only bolster support for President Donald Trump.
"The outcome of the Mueller report has now dealt Trump's team a full hand of trump cards," said Senator Konstantin Kosachev, who heads the Federation Council's Foreign Affairs Committee, Russia's Tass news agency reported. The council is the upper house of parliament.
"His chances for re-election starting from yesterday seem to be much stronger," Kosachev continued. "The opponents of the incumbent president wanted the best, but you know the rest. Essentially, not a single politician has managed to build a bright future based on lies."

Kosachev also voiced optimism that the conclusion of Mueller's investigation would bode well for improving relations between Moscow and Washington. He pointed to the tough stance the Trump administration has taken toward Russia and suggested that talks about revamping historic nuclear agreements could now move forward.
On Sunday, Attorney General William Barr released a four-page summary letter detailing the key findings and conclusions of Mueller's probe. "The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities," Barr quoted the special counsel's final report as saying in the letter, which was addressed to congressional leaders.
However, the Mueller report did not conclude whether or not Trump obstructed justice by interfering in the special counsel's probe into Russia's efforts to influence the 2016 election.
"We believe the accusations that continue to be made against Russia in terms of interference in the U.S. electoral processes are unfounded, because even the brief information that is listed in the summary [of the Muller report] has no basis," said Dmitry Peskov, Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesperson, according to The Moscow Times. "It's hard to find a black cat in a dark room, especially if it's not there."
Other Russian politicians were more harsh in their criticism of Mueller's investigation.
"From the very start it, was biased, artificial, provocative, conspiratorial, designed to fuel hatred towards the Trump campaign," Russian Senator Alexei Pushkov said, according to the Times. "Its second goal was to demonize Russia and prevent any U.S. moves towards better relations with Moscow."

Senator Frants Klintsevich said, "There was not one piece of evidence—only two years of lies and provocations. On this 'foundation,' the investigation could only have fallen to pieces, which is what happened."
Despite Mueller's conclusions regarding Trump and collusion, Democratic and Republican leaders appear united in their criticism of Russia's efforts to interfere in U.S. elections.
"Russia's ongoing efforts to interfere with our democracy are dangerous and disturbing, and I welcome the special counsel's contributions to our efforts to understand better Russia's activities in this regard," Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said following the release of Barr's letter, NBC News reported.
"I look forward to the continuing work of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on the threats posed to our democratic institutions by foreign interference," he added.

Will the Public Ever See the Full Mueller Report?
Trump Campaign Fundraising Off Mueller Report


Abstract/Résumé: This paper illustrates register-based language internal variation, using data from subject omission in English abbreviated styles, focussing mainly on diaries. This register-specific pattern might be seen as some kind of 'extragrammatical' culturally-determined stylistic convention associated with this particular register, but a survey of the relevant data shows that the omission of the subject in diary styles is subject to the core syntactic constraints that have been identified in formal syntax. The observed restrictions on subject omission do not follow from a functional account according to which recoverable subjects can be omitted: while recoverability plays a role, precise syntactic constraints govern the positions in which recoverable subjects can be omitted. The empirical generalisation ges is that subjects can be omitted in root clauses. Moreover, apart from fronted adjuncts no other constituent can precede the non-overt subject. The generalisation applies both to English and to French. The paper develops an account for subject omission which, in addition to standard assumptions about phrase structure, makes use of (i) the Phase based theory of ellipsis, (ii) the hypothesis of the articulated subject field. It is shown that other instantiations of subject omission such as that found, for instance, in note style journalese are governed by the same principles. It is shown that subject ellipsis in second conjuncts, a phenomenon independent of register variation, is subject to the same restrictions as subject omission in the diary style and can be accounted for using the hypotheses developed here.

The Rundown for Feb. 25, 2019
Bob Sarber	Current Events	 February 25, 2019 4 Minutes
TRUMP EXTENDS TARIFF DEADLINE… President Trump announced yesterday that he is extending a deadline to escalate tariffs on Chinese imports. The president claimed on Twitter that the delay is the result of "productive talks" on some of the difficult issues dividing the U.S. and China. Trump plans to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping at his Florida resort to finalize an agreement if negotiations progress.
DEMS DEMAND RELEASE OF MUELLER REPORT… Democrats continue to press their demand for the full release of special counsel Robert Mueller's report on the Trump administration and Russian election interference. During an appearance on ABC's "This Week," California Congressman Adam Schiff vowed to use subpoena power and Congressional hearings to gather all the information if the report wasn't released. Meanwhile, Connecticut Congressman Jim Himes appeared on "Meet the Press" and called for the release of the report. Attorney General William P. Barr has expressed a reluctance to release accusations that didn't accompany charges.
JUDGE RULES MEN-ONLY DRAFT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL… A federal judge in Houston ruled yesterday that a military draft that applies only to men is unconstitutional. Judge Gray H. Miller of Federal District Court in the Southern District of Texas said that excluding women is no longer justified because they can now serve in combat roles just as men do. A draft hasn't existed in the U.S. for more than 40 years, but all American men to register when they turn 18 in case a draft is reinstated.
CARGO PLANE CRASH KILLS ALL THREE ABOARD… Officials yesterday announced the deaths of all three people aboard an Amazon Prime Air cargo plane that crashed into a bay outside Houston on Saturday.

WRONGLY IMPRISONED CALIFORNIA MAN SETTLES… A 71-year-old California man who was wrongfully convicted for killing an ex-girlfriend and her 4-year-old son in 1978 has reached a $21 million settlement with the city of Simi Valley. Craig Coley was sentenced to life in prison without parole and spent 39 years behind bars. He was pardoned in 2017 by California's then-governor, Jerry Brown, based on exculpatory DNA evidence found by investigators.
ACADEMY AWARDS… "Green Book," a film inspired by the true story of African-American classical and jazz pianist Don Shirley's tour of the segregated South with his white chauffeur, won Best Picture at last night's 91st Academy Awards. The film also earned a Best Actor in a Supporting Role Oscar Mahershala Ali. "Bohemian Rhapsody" took home four awards, while Marvel's "Black Panther" won three. Regina King won Best Actress in a Supporting Role for "If Beale Street Could Talk." "Roma" took the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film. "Free Solo" was honored as Best Documentary Feature.

Q: XSLT: Parent stylesheet imports child stylesheet, but child cannot see parent's variable I have a parent stylesheet defined as such:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
    <xsl:import href="external/webcommon/WebappTransform.xsl" />
    <xsl:variable name="webAppFinalName">rf</xsl:variable>
</xsl:stylesheet>`

The imported stylesheet WebappTransform.xsl contains some inline CSS includes within certain templates:
@import url("/{$webAppFinalName}/external/webcommon/css/print.css");

The transformation occurs within a Java servlet filter and I cannot see the output HTML exactly, however it is clear from the final results that the variable has not been correctly inserted.
If I manually insert the variable and try with the full XSL then all is well.
Could someone please explain what's wrong here? Consulting a number of online resources suggests this approach should work.
Sincere thanks.

A: According to http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#import any "xsl:import element is only allowed as a top-level element. The xsl:import element children must precede all other element children of an xsl:stylesheet element" so your snippet with xsl:variable preceding xsl:import has the wrong order, I would expect the XSLT processor to raise an error message.

A: This:
@import url("/{$webAppFinalName}/external/webcommon/css/print.css");

is just a plain string. No variable substitution will take place here during the transformation.
Try this instead:
<xsl:value-of select="concat('@import url("/', $webAppFinalName,
                     '/external/webcommon/css/print.css");')"/>

12th judicial district colorado Poll of the Day
The Colorado is a state located in the western part of the U.S. state of Colorado. The Colorado is a mountainous plateau region that is bordered by the Continental Divide and lies to the north of a wide expanse of the Rocky Mountains. The state is divided into two regions, the North and South. The state is the least densely populated in the United States and the most mountainous, with approximately 4.4 million people living in the entire state.
The Colorado is a state on the East Coast, about 30 miles north of the border with Wyoming and the most southern state in the contiguous United States, along with its neighbor to the east, Utah. The state is located at the confluence of the Columbia River and the Mississippi River. Originally inhabited by the Sioux Indians, the area was first settled by Americans in the late 1800s.
I don't know if anyone really has a favorite color, but the color of Colorado's capital city, Denver, is red.
Denver has a reputation (at least in the media) for being a somewhat conservative city; but it's really more about the river, the mountains, and the people. The name of the city is derived from the river that runs through it.
Colorado is actually the name of a different town in the United States. That town is now named after the river.
In Colorado, the 12th and final judicial district is named after the river that runs through it. The district is home to seven counties. It's also home to the University of Colorado. There are three counties in the district, all of which have a large number of state parks within their borders including the state capital, Denver. In addition, there are two national forests and a national recreation area.
To be honest, I wasn't sure if they were going for the river or the river name, but I thought I'd mention them anyway.
I think the name has a lot to do with the fact that all of the rivers in the entire state have the same color. For example, the Colorado River is blue, the Rio Grande is pink, and the Little Colorado River is red. In reality, each of these rivers are named for their respective county, but the color of the name indicates the county they're named for.
The colorado river is not the only river named for a county. The state's rivers also have names that take the form of the color of the county they're named for, such as the Colorado River, which is named for the county of Colorado. The state's rivers are also named for the state's color, such as the Colorado River, the Rio Grande, and the Little Colorado River.
Colorado is a state in the Rocky Mountains in the Rocky Mountains region of Colorado. As the colors of the state rivers change from state to state, the color of the state rivers in the Rocky Mountains can be confusing. It can be confusing if you look all over the state. The Rocky Mountains have no colors, and the color of the Rocky Mountains can be confusing if you look all over the state.

9 The true light(A) that gives light to everyone(B) was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him,(C) the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.(D) 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed(E) in his name,(F) he gave the right to become children of God(G)— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.(H)
14 The Word became flesh(I) and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory,(J) the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace(K) and truth.(L)
15 (John testified(M) concerning him. He cried out, saying, "This is the one I spoke about when I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.'")(N) 16 Out of his fullness(O) we have all received grace(P) in place of grace already given. 17 For the law was given through Moses;(Q) grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.(R) 18 No one has ever seen God,(S) but the one and only Son, who is himself God and[a](T) is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.

Stepping stone education programs
As a not-for-profit society, Ilitaqsiniq relies solely on project-based funding to offer its many programs and initiatives. Ilitaqsiniq has developed a strong reputation for work that considers the unique social, cultural and linguistic context of Nunavut. They work for and in service to Nunavummiut. Ilitaqsiniq works to apply the principles of adult learning, community development and capacity building in the following four areas: Non-formal, culture-based learning programs; Intergenerational or family literacy initiatives, Workplace-based initiatives; and Community-based research. Through our projects, our community-based research and non-formal embedded literacy programs, Ilitaqsiniq has developed a reputation for holistic, high-quality, innovative work in adult learning in support of families, communities and for individual participation in both the cash and land-based economies.
Ilitaqsiniq creates innovative models of non-formal, culture-based learning programs embedded with literacy, language and other work and life skills. Cultural content, known in Nunavut as Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit, is the foundation for all Ilitaqsiniq programs and is carried out by Elder instructors. Our programs include teaching both traditional and contemporary cultural content and knowledge in specific skill set areas. This is made possible by teaming up Elder instructors with younger Nunavummiut who are content specialists (fashion designers, chefs, guides and mechanics.)

Ilitaqsiniq has captured the outcomes of embedded literacy programs through comprehensive community-based research. The outcomes of these non-formal culture-based learning programs consistently have results of over 85 per cent of the program participants going on to either join the workforce or enrolling in formalized training or post-secondary education. When you consider that the majority of participants when applying to the programs are out of school or out of work, this outcome is a huge success and is an example of the impact the programs make on participants' lives and within the community. Ilitaqsiniq celebrates the achievements of all participants. To name a few: Aqpa Aulatjut and Tara Green have gone on to receive their Bachelor of Education and are currently teaching in their home communities. Victoria Kakuqtinniq became the owner and operator of Victoria's Arctic Fashion. Lukisha Tatty is currently pursuing her culinary arts diploma at Holland College in Prince Edward Island.
Ilitaqsiniq has developed a model of learning for Nunavummiut that engages participants, meets their needs, inspires them to continue learning, builds their confidence and supports them to connect to their language, culture and identity. Often called the 'Miqqut model of learning,' after one of Ilitaqsiniq's more prominent programs, which also won the Arctic Inspiration Prize in 2012, it is a style of teaching and learning that re-engages learners who may not have had a positive learning or schooling experience in their past and supports them to take the risk to try again. Results of our research show that embedding literacy into non-formal programs simultaneously addresses wellness, community engagement, language/literacy development, and cultural transmission in a holistic way.

Some of the many elements of Ilitaqsiniq programs that contribute to the level of success participants experience include:
having Elder instructors as the leaders of the program to enrich Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit and the connection to language, culture and identity;
embedding literacy into cultural content and skill development, which gives participants the tools and transferrable skills to engage in modern Inuit society;
providing services to the community through program training initiatives;
building confidence, well-being and supporting mental health through literacy activities and essential skill development;
allowing participants to take risks in learning by using non-formal program approaches to remove the fear of failure; and
allowing participants to pursue their own learning journey.
Ilitaqsiniq sees itself as an integral part to the overall spectrum of education in Nunavut. There are individuals in the communities who cannot meet the demands or requirements to enter basic college programs, complete high school or enter the workforce due to literacy barriers. Ilitaqsiniq programs are stepping stone programs because they help to support participants to build their confidence and increase their literacy, language and essential skills to take on the challenges of completing high school, enrolling in post-secondary education or pursuing employment opportunities.
