If you're been joining me this week for my birthday SALE-A-BRATION, welcome to day 5 of our little weeklong event!
I think this is the most consistent I've posted since starting this blog 5 years ago. I need to get better about that. I forget how much I love it sometimes!!!
Today we're talking all about fluency and phonics. First we're focusing on phonics and then we'll get into the fluency portion.
Do you have a specific phonics curriculum you follow in the classroom? Saxon? Horizons??
Or do you just make it up as you go?
I'm asking because I'm genuinely curious.
I've only taught in one district where we were required to follow a phonics curriculum. If I'm being honest, I didn't think it was effective or appropriate. I feel like it's more important to know your kids and their abilities/needs before determining how you are going to approach phonics instruction.
Maybe that's just because I didn't like the curriculum and I was more comfortable doing it "my way". Not that it was the right way, but it was the approach with which I was more familiar.
My kids learned. And they learned a lot.
I differentiated my phonics instruction as needed. My kids were never all on the very same page with the very same skills, so differentiation was a must…as it is with most subjects.
If you read my first Phonics Friday post this summer, you might remember saying that there are two schools of thought when it comes to phonics instruction….some of us think it's valuable, some of us think it's not. I think we could say the same thing about everything we do as educators,right?!
Now let's look at the WHY. Why do I, and many other educators, feel that phonics instruction is important?
In my experience, I have seen that a strong foundation in phonics typically increases a student's accuracy, fluency, and comprehension. All key components in become independent readers. The key to establishing a strong foundation in phonics is giving our kiddos many opportunities to decode words both in and out of context. But seriously…how do we fit that in?!
Direct, explicit instruction happens during our whole and small group time together. It's during these times that I teach my kids specific phonics skills. I introduce these skills and we practice them. They're constantly reinforced. Most of the independent practice they get with phonics skills happens during our literacy stations. They get LOTS of opportunities to independently decode words both in and out of context. This happens through hands-on games and activities, interactive journals, puzzles, and lots of other activities. With constant reinforcement, practice, and repetition, a strong foundation in phonics is inevitable.
The first step in establishing a strong foundation in phonics is alphabet instruction. Our kids need to have a working knowledge of letters and letter sounds and need to know these concepts like the back of their hand. They need to be able to identify letters and link them to sounds with automaticity. This is the first step.
You can read more about this alphabet notebook and see it in action HERE.
If you want to read more about how I teach the alphabet (NO letter of the week!!!!), you can check out a detailed description HERE and then be sure to check out the follow-up post to that HERE.
Then we incorporate short vowel/CVC word skills and concepts into our daily routine every.single.day. Morning work, calendar, whole/small group, shared/interactive writing, literacy tubs, etc. I give my kids opportunities to work with short vowel (manipulate and decode words) all year long. They have lots of independent practice and review during literacy tubs. I create lots of activities to fit their needs and ability levels. Lots of activities that give them opportunities to decode words in and out of context.
First, we start with sorts.
The key to establishing a strong foundation in these skills is consistent and repeated opportunities for practice and reinforcement.
You can see more of these CVC activities in action HERE.
You can read more about these short vowel activities HERE.
When I can tell that the majority of my students have a strong understanding of short vowels and CVC words, I introduce long vowel/CVCe words. Again, this is done through direct, explicit instruction first. Then we move on to independent practice through hands-on activities in literacy tubs. Whole and small group activities also help me to reinforce this concept.
You can read more about some of these long vowel activities HERE.
Blends and digraphs also play an important part in my instruction. We see so many words in context with our guided readers that have these phonics patterns that I want my kids to be familiar with them so that they can practice identifying and decoding those words when they see them. I want my kids to be successful when learning to read and I need to be able to provide them with the tools to become independent readers.
You can see more of my digraph fun in action HERE.
Many of these phonics skills can be difficult to understand at the onset. When I started teaching 13 years ago, I realized I had to think outside the box if I wanted my kids to grasp concepts that were challenging. Since that first year in the classroom, I've created lots of different ways to introduce and explain concepts and skills. Different ways to engage all of my learners….many of these through characters and stories. My kids always LOVE a good story and tend to connect with them and recall them when trying to recall specific skills/concepts.
Now what does it mean when we finally have a strong understanding of these phonics skills? What do our kids actually do with this knowledge?! Well, once they're able to decode words both in and out of context, their reading accuracy, comprehension, and fluency enhances.
I've done lots of things in the classroom to improve my kids fluency over the years, but the best thing I ever implemented was my fluency center. I wanted my fluency materials to reflect the sight words we were studying (Dolch words), so I created a set of leveled fluency cards containing only the sight words from each Dolch list. So, not only were my kids using this center to become fluent readers, but I noticed a significant improvement in their sight word recognition as well. Win, win!
In addition to Readers Theater, my kids keep a fluency folder filled with various fluency passages. These passages give my kids the opportunity to compare their reading time during the span of a week. They love trying to beat their previous time and I love that their fluency improves day to day. They also love their hands-on fluency games I keep in this center, too.
If you want to read more about my fluency center, you can check it out HERE.

You are amazing. I have pinned like your whole post! LOL. I can't wait to use some of your phonics activities with my littles this year!
I always enjoy reading your posts. My school uses Saxon phonics. While there are many things I do not enjoy about it, I have to say that most of my students leave first grade reading well. Is this the phonics program? the reading program? our guided reading groups? our sight word practice? I don't know which one is key. I do like your ideas though and will come back to read this again. You've given me some things to think about the next week or so. Thanks for blogging.
My district uses Macmillan McGraw Hill Treasures which has a large phonics component. I do follow the suggested scope and sequence, but I supplement instruction with my own routines and activities and differentiate as needed. Looking forward to checking your producers out- thanks!
I absolutely LOVE reading just about ANYTHING you write! I feel like it's just a mini professional development every single time. And after following you for 5 years now, I'm still learning from you! Thank you for always being so insightful and sharing your passion!!
I just found your post about phonics instruction. Im at a school that uses Saxon Phonics, I strongly feel that phonics is very important , but not in a whole group setting because I have student who are on different levels and get lost in the group lesson. According to Saxon it should last 45 minutes or longer…. How do you feel about doing phonics in small groups?

Kesher Yehudi was founded in 2009 by Tsila Schneider (55), an orthodox mother of 11. A caring person who wanted to make a difference, she began by creating a project where people from secular and orthodox backgrounds learned about Judaism together by phone. After five years, she opened Kesher Yehudi in order to deepen the connections between the two sectors on the perimeters of Israeli Jewry and to allow an opportunity for anyone who was interested to broaden their Jewish knowledge.
Israeli society has erected a concrete wall of alienation and estrangement between sectors; Kesher Yehudi has begun the task of dismantling this wall using as our tools strong bonds of friendship between secular Israelis and their mitzvah keeping counterparts.
Kesher Yehudi has been working intensively for eight years as an answer to the tense atmosphere that has evolved between different streams in our country. A climate of foreignness, snobbery and fear has been created by the media, building on pre-existing stereotypes. Kesher Yehudi allows people from different sectors to get to know each other personally, using close-up encounters in a natural environment, centered around our deepest common connection – Jewish tradition. These encounters lead to the dissolving of stigmas, the breaking of stereotypes and a personal, human association.
With the encouragement and mediation of Kesher Yehudi, over 14,000 people all over Israel have already participated in our personal introductions program and have formed exciting and exhilarating long term friendships. Participants meet at least once a week to discuss a Torah topic that they have chosen to explore together. This journey not only deepens their personal friendship but leads to a wider involvement, a deep care for the people of Israel, and a partnership to overcome difficulties.
An atmosphere of acceptance, tolerance and brotherhood is created by this discussion between participants and influences their personal circles.
In June 2016, Kesher Yehudi was awarded the Jerusalem Unity Prize by Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat for their work in creating unity in Israeli society.

Employee group benefits are a significant part of an employee's total compensation - it's only wise to fully understand what you are investing in.
Today, most organizations work with an employee benefits broker to help navigate through the multitude of benefits products and technical insurance jargon.
Perhaps your broker is a personal friend or your financial advisor who also provides individual investment and/or insurance advice. Or, maybe your broker is an independent employee benefits consulting firm, like ENCOMPASS Benefits, working and advocating for you.
Hopefully you are being well serviced and can easily pass our Broker Checklist test. It's important to evaluate your broker relationship and determine if you are receiving the level of service and support you need and deserve.
Not all brokers are created equal!
Surprisingly, the level of service can really vary from one broker to another. It's hard to know if the service you have grown accustomed to is comparable to what other insurance brokers provide.
How do you know if you are working with the right broker?
We have provided a handy Benefits Broker Checklist to help you through the evaluation process. You deserve more than mediocre service. Learn how a Team of Benefits Specialists working for you can help.
If you don't know your Target Loss Ratio, Experience History or Stop Loss Threshold – then we should talk.
Take the checklist challenge! If your broker doesn't pass the test then give us a call.

White House News Conference: President Trump to make announcement about COVID-19 treatment tonight


George is an entrepreneur turned investor advancing women in venture capital through www.women.vc and connecting the dots in the industry.
Great entrepreneurs are wired in a unique way being able to overcome that biological power that makes humans shy away from uncertainties. By default, our brains are set up to avoid all possible ambiguities, including unpredictable market response, lack of information on competitors, fear of failure and many other uncertainties entrepreneurs face daily.
There are many ways of standing to these challenges. The most universal recipe would be to write down everything what can go wrong, weigh the risks, accept them, and start enjoying uncertainties as a chess game. I have always kept a short and inspiring talk or two handy for entrepreneurs who might've needed a little bit of coaching.
However, lately it seems that the worries of once bright-eyed young people have grown far beyond the risks they are used to taking in the business environment alone. A sharp change in political policies with the new administration had been much talked about, but most didn't expect for them to be implemented so quickly and with such harsh consequences. And the fact that executive orders and decisions of President Donald Trump have been successfully challenged only increases uncertainty: entrepreneurs don't know what to expect next.
In hopes of addressing these fears, I've reached out to my fellow women venture investors to encourage the startup community and support entrepreneurs with practical advice to thrive on in 2017.
Risk management research shows that women tend to consider the bigger picture and wider effects, the rippling of a drop in the water, if you will. Our way of thinking could be of great value; it is our nature to consider the potential impact of every particular factor on the larger whole. So despite the social and political rollercoaster we are all experiencing these days, my colleagues and I believe that entrepreneurs who focus on team efficiency and product market fit will overcome the uncertainties of the time.
Susan Choe was right. Being a part of a startup can feel like being on a boat in the middle of an unpredictable sea. But don't feel rudderless in the water. We who've seen it can help show others the horizon.
Keep your heads high, and hopefully you'll see it too.


Every cheapo has their reasons for striving towards a thrifty lifestyle, a special thing they splurge their hard-saved yen on. For some of us, that thing is art—large and painful art that goes right onto the skin and lasts a lifetime. I got my first tattoo a few years after leaving Tokyo for London, and once I got caught up in the ink addiction, I knew I had to come back and get a piece or two done. Because what journey to Japan would be complete without taking home a piece of local artwork?
There can be some mystique surrounding irezumi (literally "insert ink"—the native word for tattoos) in Japan, mostly due to the country's long and complicated relationship with the art. In reality, though, getting inked here isn't so hard. If you're thinking about going under the needle while vacationing or living in Japan, read on for some tips learned over the course of three tattoos.
Wait…but aren't tattoos NG in Japan?
Yes…but things are changing…kind of. For centuries Japan has hit down hard on tattoos, historically due to their clash with religious values, as well as their seemingly inextricable link to organized crime and, much later, troublesome Russian sailors. But in the past decade or so there has been a very gradual change in attitude as 'fashion tattoos' have gained popularity with celebs and normal people, while 'yakuza tattoos' have fallen out of style with the new generation of white-collar gang members.
Anti-tattoo policies have been loosening up, but with small businesses leading the charge—not large chain gyms or spas. As Japan gets ready to welcome a huge influx of tourists leading up to the 2020 Olympics, local businesses are slowly realizing they'll have to start accepting foreigners with tattoos, or lose out on a lot of revenue. In March, the Japan Tourism Agency kindly requested onsen and bath house operators to please, please accept tattooed foreigners—but turning away Japanese with tattoos is still okay.
So while things look to be changing over the next few years, be aware that a double standard is being formed, and if you live and work in Japan you might not be on the lucky side of it. Visible tattoos, or even non-visible tattoos that your co-workers find out about, may still cause problems at your current or future workplace depending on the company.
For those happy to buck the status quo and make the jump, Tattoo Spot provides a good list of tattoo-friendly businesses around the country.
The first step to finding the perfect artist is deciding what style of tattoo you want. Japan is the natural place to seek out a wabori (traditional Japanese) design, but there are also plenty of artists who do old school, realistic, anime, geometric, or even good ol' tribal tattoos—if that's what you really, really want. Next, consider where in Japan you'd like to find an artist (the closer to 'home', the better) and, of course, your budget.
If you're looking to get a traditional tebori tattoo, à la Horiyoshi III, be aware that it's a slow process. Tebori means "to carve by hand", and these tattoos are made by pricking the skin with a small comb of bamboo needles that have been dipped in ink. Hand-poked tattoos take much longer than a machine, so larger pieces will require many more sessions. Large tattoos often take years to complete, requiring a visit to the artist every few weeks or months for a session.
Tebori artists have long waiting lists and are less likely to accept inquiries in English. Some also require an introduction from another client. Unless you've got the time, money and connections for it, you might want to stick with something small or give this one a miss.
With all that in mind, get out your keyboard and start cracking. These days the internet is the best place to hunt for lists of studios, check out portfolios, and gather information about pricing and how to get in contact. There are some (incomplete) lists of Japanese artists at places like Tattooers.net, Tattoo Navi and Tattoo Hit, but you're really just better off jumping down the rabbit hole through your favorite search engine. Many artists also curate their work on Facebook and Instagram, so have a look there too.
If you're in Japan and a luddite, there are tattoo magazines like Tattoo Tribal, Tattoo Burst and Tattoo Girls, but they're published infrequently and may be difficult to find.
Many spectacular Japanese artists often do conventions and guest spots around the world. Have a look at the past lineups of major tattoo conventions and see what kind of Japanese artists participate. If you've been tattooed before, you can also ask your local artist or studio if they have any recommendations for artists in Japan, as they may know someone personally from said conventions and guest spots. Having a Japanese artist that travels to your area can be a huge bonus if you want large work that cannot be completed in a few sessions.
Once you've found an artist or studio that feels right, get in contact through their preferred means of communication, which could range from a form on their website to a phone call or a walk-in. But don't just stop by without warning unless their website states they accept walk-ins! If you arrive unannounced, the artist may be in the middle of a session and unable to give you the time of day; it doesn't make a great first impression. Email or call the studio instead.
Have a good idea of what you want—the clearer and more fleshed-out (ahaha), the better. Every artist does things at a different pace, and they may or may not want to hear specific details right from the start. But for the introductory email or call, be sure to give them information like preferred dates and desired size of the tattoo so they can figure out how long they'll need and if they have time.
Contact the artist as early as possible, especially if you'll be travelling from abroad to get inked. If you don't hear back in a week or so, don't be afraid to email again or try to contact them another way. Even digital mail can slip through the cracks!
Ready to get your full-body yakuza tattoo? Plan ahead…the larger tattoo the longer it takes, and the inked area should be almost completely healed between sessions—a process that takes up to two weeks. If you live in Japan it's not an issue to repeatedly visit an artist, but things become more difficult if traveling from abroad. While multiple sessions can be done in a row (ouch!), a tattoo that takes three or more sessions will likely require a 10-day to two-week healing period in between every two sessions. Most sessions run a maximum of four or five hours, so do the math. If coming from abroad, extremely large tattoos (back, chest or leg) will likely take more than one trip to Japan to complete, unless your artist travels and is planning to do a guest spot somewhere near you.
Tattoos are generally charged per hour of actual inking time, but some artists charge extra for time spent sketching designs and drawing up the transfer. They'll be able to estimate how many hours a piece will take, but the actual time may differ in the end. In Tokyo prices generally range between 10,000 yen and 15,000 yen per hour for machine tattooing, but tebori will cost more. Be aware that some artists also have a minimum charge, even for small designs.
For rates, terms and deposit requirements, ask the artist directly, but be polite. A tattoo lasts for a lifetime—this isn't the time to be a cheapo!

Melissa McCarthy is an actress, comedian, and writer from the United States of America, and has been appearing in film and television since the late 1990's. Usually known for both her sharp sense of humor and rotund figure, she starred in the sitcom, Mike and Molly, as the titular character, Molly Flynn. In addition, she's well known for her role as one of the leads in the recent remake of Ghostbusters.
The insanely talented comedic actress is also known for her line of clothing designed by her for plus-sized women. For all she's gained, though, she's also lost a lot. To be precise, she's lost over seventy-five pounds recently, and there's no denying that she's never looked more stunning. Not that she's ever looked anything less than fantastic, mind you, but with all the health risks associated with being bigger, it's nothing short of amazing to see her keep her voluptuous figure whilst at a healthier weight.
In a recent interview with OK! Magazine, McCarthy has spilled the beans on, accrediting her weight loss to a high-protein, low carbohydrate diet; regular exercise; and going to bed at 19:30 every night. According to McCarthy, there were five key factors to her diet, some of which may surprise you.
So, how exactly did the Melissa McCarthy Incredible 75lb Weight Loss work?
There's the usual, of course, of staying hydrated by drinking a tall glass of lemon water every time she felt hungry and eating food that is high in fiber to boost her metabolism. The best part of this is that lemon is a natural antioxidant and cleanser, whilst foods that are high in fiber are generally not known to hold lots of empty calories. In addition, McCarthy got at least half her calorie intake from foods that are high in protein, such as grilled chicken, fresh fish, and organic beef.
Still, there's nothing quite like the final two. For one, she watched her insulin levels, taking care to keep them low. By keeping these low for long periods of the day, her body entered a state known as ketosis. Basically, her body began to break down her fat supplies for energy, enabling her to lose weight much faster. Now, rapid weight loss through ketosis can be quite harmful to your body, so it would be best for you to consult a doctor or dietitian before attempting this form of weight loss.
Finally, McCarthy attributes her weight loss to drinking two cups of green tea to jump-start her metabolism and to consume a completely natural diet supplement known as Garcinia cambogia with every meal. By boosting her metabolism with these organic supplements, she was able to burn excess body fat at a much faster rate.
Now, many of you must be wondering, what exactly is Garcinia cambogia?
It's a tropical fruit also known as a Malabar tamarind, and can commonly be found on the shelves at stores or as an ingredient in other diet products. How it works is that there's a naturally occurring ingredient in the fruit's rind, called hydroxycitric acid, or HCA, which works as both a metabolism booster and an appetite suppressant. In addition, it blocks the enzyme in your body which is used to make fat, thus preventing your body from creating new fat stores. Other benefits of this wonderful fruit include keeping blood sugar and cholesterol levels in check, preventing heart disease and diabetes.
The results speak for themselves. One only has to look at the results of the Melissa McCarthy Incredible 75lb Weight Loss for proof.
Bear in mind that the use of Garcinia cambogia in conjunction with medication taken to lower blood sugar can result in your body's glucose levels dropping dangerously low. It is advised that, if you currently partake in any form of medication that affects your blood sugar levels, you should consult a medical practitioner before beginning usage of Garginia cambogia.
Through this change in lifestyle and the simple addition of this fruit, McCarthy has been able to lose an incredible 75lbs. Well, there's nothing stopping you from doing the same. By simply exercising, switching to a healthier diet, and augmenting your metabolism with naturally occurring ingredients, you can lose just as much weight as she did, and you can get the body you've always dreamed of having, not to mention being able to live a healthier life.


This cake is vanilla bean sour cream cake filled and iced with a vanilla bean Italian meringue buttercream. I tried out a new fondant - McCalls EasyIce White Chocolate fondant - on this cake. I recently took a course with Andrea Sullivan and it is the fondant she uses and it tasted good and looked much easier to work with so I decided to try it out! There is a definite learning curve to working with a different type of fondant but after a few tries, it worked out well I think!
The cake board is covered in a pale pink fondant (although it definitely looks white in the pictures!). The baby carriage on the plaque on top of the cake is made from fondant with the exception of the detailing on the wheels which was painted on with food coloring. The polka dots and bow are also made with fondant.
Congratulations to the mom-to-be! I hope it's a great baby shower.

Methods or Madness? Developing Population Inventory Manuals for British Columbia's Biodiversity (in Proc. Conference Biology & Management of Species and Habitats at Risk) Quayle, James F.
Abstract: In 1992, the Elements Working Group began developing standards for the collection of population inventory data about elements of British Columbia's terrestrial biodiversity. As the result of meetings between an assortment of wildlife biologists, the province's biodiversity was divided into 32 element groupings, and inventory methods and standards were developed around each of these, as well as for 5 additional topics relevant to biodiversity inventory. Manuals in the series are available for free via the Internet, and provide an obvious resource for biologists studying species at risk. In addition, developing methods for such a wide array of species has highlighted some of the general limitations of wildlife inventory, particularly for species that are rare or endangered.

Q: What's the meaning of the "kid" claim in a JWT token? I generated a JWT and there are some claims which I understand well, but there is a claim called kid in header. Does anyone know what it means?
I generated the token using auth0.com

A: The kid (key ID) claim is an optional header claim, used to specify the key for validating the signature.
It is described here: http://self-issued.info/docs/draft-jones-json-web-token-01.html#ReservedHeaderParameterName

A: kid is an optional header claim which holds a key identifier, particularly useful when you have multiple keys to sign the tokens and you need to look up the right one to verify the signature.
Once a signed JWT is a JWS, consider the definition from the RFC 7515:

4.1.4.  "kid" (Key ID) Header Parameter
The kid (key ID) Header Parameter is a hint indicating which key
was used to secure the JWS.  This parameter allows originators to
explicitly signal a change of key to recipients.  The structure of the
kid value is unspecified.  Its value MUST be a case-sensitive
string.  Use of this Header Parameter is OPTIONAL.
When used with a JWK, the kid value is used to match a JWK kid
parameter value.


In Second Opinion, Bruce Hilton explores the pros and cons of bioethical issues such as physician-assisted suicide, medical procedures in conflict with religious beliefs, artificial life support, and physicians' duties regarding lethal injections. Each chapter sets the stage for discussions of these difficult choices among people of faith. Hilton explains how our faith influences our responses to the controversial applications of medical technology, and his easy-to-grasp style makes this book useful for individuals as well as study groups.

[News] Shots Fired
May 5th, 2016 we have learned more details on the shooting of Ex Police Chief Warwick DeSanta. He is back home and recovering. When asked for a quote on the shooting, he simply said. "She's CRAZY bitch, man"
We were able to get a quote from Chief Green "This was a horrific and unprovoked attack, it seems that Mrs Biafra has been holding a vendetta against Mr DeSanta, to shoot someone six times at close range and show no remorse for the act is that of a true monster."
There will be a trial starting in a couple weeks with the attempted murder charge along with other minor charges, when we reached to to talk to Mrs. Biafra, she had to say "It was all a misunderstanding. I was on my rag and upset, of course my finger locked up on the trigger and really if DeSanta wasn't such a stalking dick, none of this would have happened and I am sure the courts will see it also"
So we will see what the future brings on this case.
On April 22, at Fast Eddies, a very popular diner in Asphyxiation Point, there was shots fired that left a man, former police chief, Warwick DeSanta fighting for his life.
According to witnesses, it seems there was an altercation between the accused, Poe Biafra, wife of Police Chief Biara and the victim, DeSanta, while DeSanta waas having a meal with Police chief Green.
The details of the altercation are not clearly known at this time but it is known that it resulted Mrs. Biafra pulling out a gun and six shots fired.

UNESCO General History of Africa, Vol...
Author B. A. Ogot
Publisher University of California Press
Publication Date April 20, 1999
Volume V of this acclaimed series is now available in an abridged paperback edition. The result of years of work by scholars from all over the world, The UNESCO General History of Africa reflects how the different peoples of Africa view their civilizations and shows the historical relationships between the various parts of the continent. Historical connections with other continents demonstrate Africa's contribution to the development of human civilization. Each volume is lavishly illustrated and contains a comprehensive bibliography.
This fifth volume of the acclaimed series covers the history of the continent from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the close of the eighteenth century in which two themes emerge: first, the continuing internal evolution of the states and cultures of Africa during this period; second, the increasing involvement of Africa in external trade—with major but unforeseen consequences for the whole world.
In North Africa, we see the Ottomans conquer Egypt. South of the Sahara, some of the larger, older states collapse, and new power bases emerge. Traditional religions continue to coexist with both Christianity (suffering setbacks) and Islam (in the ascendancy). Along the coast, particularly of West Africa, Europeans establish a trading network which, with the development of New World plantation agriculture, becomes the focus of the international slave trade. The immediate consequences of this trade for Africa are explored, and it is argued that the long-term global consequences include the foundation of the present world-economy with all its built-in inequalities.

I take on everyone's problems as my own. I'm certainly not going to be able to fix everybody's problems and getting rundown by that inability so I can't help even myself ultimately puts me in a worse place than I was to begin with and means I can't even be a shoulder for friends when they need one.
I'm trying to get to a place where I believe this in my heart and soul and not just on paper.
I'm trying, though. I promise I'm trying.


Khakalaki Farm is dedicated to growing healthy plants, animals, and people as naturally as possible (see methods of farming). Our vision is to learn, practice, and teach sustainable farming and living. We feel this will promote natural diversity and health to all who share this earth. It is our hope that people who realize the environmental and health costs of commercial farming ("agribusiness") will move away from purchasing the most convenient, and cheapest foods when they discover local healthy food sources.
The costs of products from your local small farmer may be higher than the grocery store, because their costs to produce the food are higher: they are not subsidized by the government, nor do they have the buying power of a large organization. By buying locally you are supporting conservation and historical practice. Before trucking was widespread people bought and used what was locally available and in season. Fortunately, technology does allow a larger diversity of food to be locally grown. Some costs of buying non-local food may not be readily seen: the fuel costs to truck in out-of-season and non-local products, land fertility lost by monoculture practices, the loss of heritage breeds of plants and animals, the costs of fuel to import foreign foods and make artificial fertilizer, pollution from commercial confined animal operations (CAFOs), and the personal health consequences of chemical applications (herbicides, antibiotics, hormones, etc) to animals and their foods. We invite you to see how we grow your food; you will not find many commercial operations who offer such transparency. The consumer's satisfaction is important. For a small farmer or business, if customers are not satisfied with the food or products they will not buy it and the farm cannot afford to stay in business.
The farm is located at the site of the former Girl Scout Camp "Cofitachiqui". This site was selected based on natural beauty and diversity, lack of any known chemical use on site or nearby, and suitability for non-traditional farming and living. The land is an example of the transition between sand hills and the piedmont, with a wide variety of plants including kalmia, grandfather's beard, sweet bay, holly, wild ginger, and many wildflowers and mushrooms.

There are a number of things to know about Thailand before you visit. Some of these things you may know, some you may not. Thailand is an interesting country. It is large and diverse with a vibrant people and a burgeoning expat population. Thailand is a cheap place to live and visit. Below is a list of 20 things to know about Thailand. Some of which are not always clear before you go.
1. What is a Ferang?
Well if you are of any European decent, that's probably you. You are the Ferang, it is not a bad thing it's just what you are called. Even as an expat your Thai friends could still call you Ferang in conversation. Don't be offended by this at all. Also you should probably know that since you are an outsider anything that goes wrong could be your fault. If a local bumps your scooter, its your fault even if it isn't. Due to you being a foreigner and if you had not been in the country your scooter would not have been where it was when the local bumped into it. Buddhist thinking I guess, but i can appreciate the logic.
2. Do I need a visa to visit Thailand?
If you are in Bangkok unless you love crazy traffic, don't rent a car. We suggest that you find accommodation in the central area of Bangkok, you will have the Subway and Elevated rail systems to use, they are cheap, clean, air-conditioned, and efficient a 1 day pass is a good idea if you plan on getting around town. The 1 day pass will cost you 140 Baht, or less than $4.50, €3.60 or £3.20. There are some rules, no food or drinks on the trains, No Durian, in case you don't know what Durian is, it's a big smelly fruit that some say taste terrible and smells like something dead, others love it, go figure.
Generally if you want to get around Bangkok and are away from the MRT or BTS coverage areas. Or if you are not in Bangkok the most popular ways of getting around in the towns and cities of Thailand is to use a Taxi or Tuk Tuk. A Tuk Tuk is great during the day, being smaller they do get through traffic a little easier, and you get a better view of the buzz around you. Negotiate with a Tuk Tuk driver. I promise you are not getting the best price on the first try. When it comes to Taxis they are air-conditioned, so that's nice. However you are going to get stuck in traffic, insist in the driver using the meter, some will, some won't. Even if you are being given a special offer for the best price. Get him to use the meter, it will probably be cheaper. Use Uber and Grab Taxi apps on your phone too. A short trip in a Tuk Tuk could cost you 150 Baht or about the same as the 1 day pass on the BTS. Taxis may be cheaper, but not always depending on distance travelled.
Busses are also an option, although really cheap. they are big and take a while to get around in traffic, they are also not air-conditioned, unless of course you are using the tour busses that run between cities. These busses are air-conditioned and have TV as well as massage seats. Most of these busses do an over night trip. You get transport and "accommodation" in your cost of your ticket. A trip from Bangkok to Phuket is around 1200 Baht, less than $40. Then you have motorbike taxis, well that's fun. Cheap, Fast, Scary you should do it. Basically you climb on the back of a persons bike and they get you across town as fast as they can. Hold on tight.
Thai people are friendly. Thailand is not known as the Land of Smiles for nothing. As a Buddhist country many of the Thai's you meet will be Buddhist or at least would have a Buddhist upbringing. Don't shout at a Thai, first of all its exceptionally rude, and it will make you look bad not them. Do not touch a Thai on their head, not even patting a kid on their head as you might do in your own country. Don't wear shoes in a Thai house, take them off outside before entering the house. A handshake is not that common. If you greet someone, place your palms together and bow your head slightly, this is called a Wai. If you keep one thing in mind when interacting with Thai's. Their belief system is core to who they are. The closer to the floor a body part is the dirtier it is. Therefore do not touch someone with your foot. The head is the most sacred. That is why you don't touch it. Monks are always held in high regard. Do not touch a Monk. Monks often have their own seating area in stations and airports. The Thai royal family is deeply respected.
Thailand is filled with temples, many of them are hundreds of years old. Go see some of them. There are a few things to remember. Do not wear shorts or sleeveless shirts. Male or female, wear long pants or a long dress, wear a shirt that covers your shoulders. Take your shoes off before entering a temple. Be mindful of the people in the temple. Remember that thing about feet, keep that in mind at a temple.
Ok it's not just Tuk Tuks, but it is not uncommon for a Tuk Tuk driver to approach you and tell you that the temple is not open today for some or other reason. They will of course offer you a "good deal" to take you on a tour of other temples. Politely say no thank you, maybe tell them you are not going to the temple and just keep on walking towards the main entrance. Don't fall for the VIP Tickets that are sold outside of some Muay Thai arena's. There are other scams that some Ferangs fall for. Cheap Tailors and gold scams. Research these scams.
We have found that Agoda.com is one of the best online accommodation sites to find accommodation in South East Asia. Have a look at the link. Even if you are on a budget consider staying in a 4 or 5 start resort, even if it is just for a couple of days. It will probably be a lot cheaper than you think. Look at smaller boutique hotels. No matter what your budget is there are many places to choose from. Do not just stay in one place, I would advise against package holidays. Explore. Do your own thing. You don't want to have every minute of your holiday planned. Lets face it, you are going to a foreign country, don't just eat western food. If you have taken the time and money to travel half way around the world, trying to experience it as if you where still at home would be doing yourself a disservice.
The general rule is to not drink tap water in Thailand. I wouldn't try to test that rule. Beer is relatively cheap and available in most stores, including 7-Eleven. Some of the local Brewers also produce bottled water. So if you are in a Restaurant and ask for a Chang, you may be asked if you want a Chang Beer. Ice is produces commercially from purified water. Also you can drink beer practically anywhere. Even in the back of a Tuk Tuk while driving through town. No beer in Temples of course, or government offices etc. Spirits like Vodka Rum etc are available of course. At Full Moon and Half Moon parties you can buy buckets of Vodka cocktails. Be Brave.
You have to try the street food, it's all over the place. Cheap and Tasty. There are a few golden rules here. Thailand is a hot country, compared to Europe its warm even in winter. Eat where the locals eat, if a food stand is busy and has constant local customers you are good to go. Locals will not eat poor food. If there are constant high volumes of people eating at a stand it also means that the food is going to be fresh and would not have sat around for too long. There are many western food options around too. Your mileage will vary and you may find it expensive. There are also many Indian, Chinese and other regional foods available.
Many Thai's can speak at least some english. So getting around and ordering food is not that challenging. However if you make use of the Agoda App, and other travel apps the often have the address details and possibly directions to your Hotel in Thai. This make it easy for your Taxi or Tuk Tuk driver. There are also some basic words that you can learn to help you get by. The locals will also appreciate it.
One thing you will notice is that you don't see knives and forks. Also you may not see chop sticks unless you are in Yaowarat Road or any other Chinese food establishment. So what do you do with the spoon and fork? You eat off of the spoon, the fork is there to get food onto your spoon. It's not serious though. You will not be laughed at. But if you want to eat like a pro, eat off of the spoon.
People have written entire blog posts on 7-Eleven in Thailand. Simply put you will see lots of them. They are everywhere, sometimes 2 or 3 within a few hundred meters of each other. You will find Beer, water, food, medicine, and almost anything else. There are probably generations of backpackers who have survived on 7-Eleven and street food alone. A favourite is the Ham and Cheese Toasted Sandwich.
Once you are on the Islands, how do you get around to other islands? You could probably fly between some islands but you see less. You can make use of the longtail boats, and ferries. Generally they are quite cheap. There is also a more expensive fast boat option, high-powered speed boats that get you between islands faster than the slower Ferry or Longtail options.
The most obvious place north of Bangkok is Chiang Mai, filled with expats and Digital Nomads. Chiang Mai is a beautiful old city. The Old City was built inside the city walls and moat. Some of this is still visible. There are plenty of coffee shops and restaurants here, check out the Markets. Check out the smaller towns and sites like waterfalls, if you have the time. Also check out Pai and Chiang Rai. Don't miss the north.
There are shopping options all over, from small local markets to the massive malls in Bangkok. However if you are a shop-a-holic you could spend days in Bangkok. From MBK, Siam Paragon, Central Embassy, Central World and Terminal 21 to just name a few. The malls range from cheap to luxury brands, original and a few knockoffs. Food halls a plenty. Seriously if shopping is your thing, or if you want to stock up and clothing before you leave, or when you arrive. Bangkok Shopping is probably going to be a little crazy but you should probably try at least one mall.
There are many places to rent a scooter in the south of Thailand, Phuket, Phi Phi, Krabi etc. Firstly be careful. Most places don't worry too much about if you can ride or not, or have a license. However if you do not have a valid bike license in your own country and a valid International Drivers License you could get into a lot of trouble if you are in an accident. You may also run into problems with your travel insurance. You will see 3 people on a scooter with no helmets. Wear your helmet. The local Police will pull you over for not wearing a helmet, or not its hard to say.
Thailand has some incredible tailors. Do some research first, chat to staff at the hotel you are staying at. If you would like a custom tailored dress or suit there are a number of reputable tailors to choose from. The work is done quickly and for a good price. I wouldn't suggest asking a Tuk Tuk driver. There have been more than a few scams where they will take you on a long ride take you to a tailor that pays them a finder's fee. However, rather than getting a good suit you get one that is poorly made, I have heard of seams being glued together.
Finally the best advise I can give on visiting Thailand or any other country for that matter is do what the locals do, experience the country as much as possible as a local. Do not get a package deal where you spend 7 nights in an island resort and then but never leave the resort other than to go to a tourist trap surrounded by 50 of your own countrymen. Why fly for 10 hours to do that? Furthermore when you travel you will discover all sorts of things, not just about the country you are visiting, and possibly about your own country, and who you are, or want to be. Therefore traveling is as much about discovering a new place as it is about yourself. So go Explore the Gap. Get out there.

Q: How to impersonate user but still maintain the admin privileges I have a service which runs as a local system.
In the service I need to perform some actions (call NetworkIsolationSetAppContainerConfig - trying to solve the isolation exemption issue in Windows 8-10) in the context of all the logged in users.
So I iterate over the users with WTSEnumerateSessions and tried 2 approaches:

*

*Impersonate - WTSQueryUserToken to get the user token, DuplicateTokenEx to duplicate it and SetThreadToken to use it.

*Different process - I created a different process which calls NetworkIsolationSetAppContainerConfig and in my service I use WTSQueryUserToken, DuplicateTokenEx, CreateEnvironmentBlock and CreateProcessAsUserW to run this process in the context of the users.
Both methods failed with lack of permissions (error number 5 - access denied) on Windows 10.
However when I run my Visual Studio in administrator mode and try to run this function all works fine.
What can I do? How can I run the function in the context of a user but maintain the service admin rights?
Thanks

Home>Millbury and Sutton Lock in Solar Energy Prices Lower than Traditional Energy Sources
Millbury and Sutton Lock in Solar Energy Prices Lower than Traditional Energy Sources
Sept. 30 deadline for Millbury and Sutton residents, businesses to participate in solar program
Sep 18, 2012 –
Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) CEO Alicia Barton McDevitt today announced Millbury and Sutton residents and businesses qualify for lower solar energy rates than rates for traditional sources of energy under the Solarize Massachusetts Program (Solarize Mass).
As a result of Solarize Mass, the average Millbury and Sutton participant who enters into a contract to buy solar electricity will now pay an average of 5.5 cents per kilowatt hour. This rate is lower than the average statewide price of 15 cents per kilowatt hour for traditional energy sources, which are a mix of coal-fired, nuclear or natural gas generation.
Residents and businesses have until September 30 to participate in the bulk purchasing program, which would secure further price reductions as more participants sign up.
"I hope Millbury and Sutton's renewable energy leadership will inspire residents in these communities and beyond to take advantage of this program that not only cuts energy costs, but creates local jobs," said MassCEC CEO and Executive Director Alicia Barton McDevitt.
Under the leadership of Governor Deval Patrick, Massachusetts set a goal of achieving 250 megawatts of solar by 2017. As a result of the Solarize Mass program and other incentives, the state is more than halfway to its goal – with 143 megawatts of solar installed to date, the equivalent of powering 22,618 homes for a year.
To date, a number of residents and businesses in Millbury and Sutton have banded together to participate in the program, contracting 8 solar systems for a total capacity of 66.7 kilowatts (kW).
Solarize Mass, which is available in 17 Massachusetts communities including Millbury and Sutton, offers five tiers of discounted pricing based on the total solar capacity contracted under the program. As more residents and businesses contract for solar, the price for solar energy drops. Solarize Mass is administered by MassCEC and the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER).
"This is a bright day for Millbury and Sutton residents and businesses," said DOER Commissioner Mark Sylvia. "Solarize Mass and the 103 Green Communities are helping spread solar power across the 340 of 351 communities that now have at least one state-supported solar electricity project."
The average Massachusetts household uses 667 kilowatt hours per month, equivalent to an average $100 monthly bill for traditional energy sources. By installing a solar electric system under the Solarize program, Millbury and Sutton homeowners entered into contracts to purchase solar would pay $37, with the price dropping if more people sign up for the program before the deadline.
A committee of Millbury and Sutton volunteers and municipal officials selected a partnership between Hopedale-based Second Generation Energy.
About Solarize Mass
Solarize Mass, which is a partnership between the MassCEC and DOER's Green Communities Division, encourages the adoption of small scale solar projects. The program is available to 17 Massachusetts Green Communities, which were designated by DOER after those communities committed to reducing municipal energy use by 20 percent. The communities are Acton, Arlington, Boston, Hopkinton, Melrose, Mendon, Millbury, Montague, Newburyport, Palmer, Pittsfield, Lenox, Shirley, Sutton, Wayland, Sudbury and Lincoln.

Q: To bold one line with Perl regex I have
1. Lorem
He he he

% not sure spelling
2. Lorem
ipsun

I want to have
\textbf{1. Lorem}
He he he

% not sure spelling
\textbf{2. Lorem}
ipsun

My pseudocode attempt
perl -000pe 's/\n\n\d./; s/\n\d.\n\\textbf\{ /g; s/$/\}/'

which is based on my two previous questions about regex here.
I try to match the thing which starts with a number.
Replace the beginning of the match and the end of the match.
The code gives me
Backslash found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "s/\n\n\d./; s/\"
Backslash found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "n\"
Backslash found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "n\"
Backslash found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "textbf\"
Backslash found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "$/\"
    (Missing operator before \?)
syntax error at -e line 1, near "s/\n\n\d./; s/\"
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.

How can you bold the given text?

A: Try this:
$ perl -ple '$_ = "\\textbf{$_}" if /^\d/' cat2
\textbf{1. Lorem}
He he he

\textbf{2. Lorem}
ipsun

A: Since the -000 makes each "paragraph" into a "line", you can use the classic regular expression anchors (^ and $) to match the beginning and end of each "line". So, in your case, all you need is:
$ perl -000pe 's/^(.+)\n/\\textbf{$1}\n/;' file
\textbf{1. Lorem}
He he he

\textbf{2. Lorem }
ipsun

Note that the \ needs to be escaped (\\), that's because \ is a special character used to escape others so you also need to use it to escape itself.

If you can have comments as the first line of a paragraph, then this approach fails and you need to bold all lines that start with a number:
perl -pe 's/^\d\..+/\\textbf{$&}/' file

A: I used the -0777 option which loads the whole file into memory at once. Then, you can replace newlines:
perl -0777 -pe 's/\n(\d\..*)/\n\\textbf{$1}/g'

A reporter with NBC news didn't realise he was on live TV when he did something pretty gross, with the video quickly blowing up online.
An NBC News reporter stationed in eastern Syria was caught on live camera Friday doing some cringe-worthy, last-minute grooming for his stand-up — by twice spitting into his palm and slicking back his hair.
Anchor Ali Velshi in MSNBC's studio was reporting on the defeat of ISIS caliphate and ongoing hostilities in the region when he introduced reporter Matt Bradley in the field.
"Matt, what's the situation for you," Velshi asked as a silent Bradley appeared unscreen, clearly unaware that he was on live TV, spitting into one hand and then the other to groom his hair.
"Ask me why my hair is green," posted Beto'sBackside. "A little dab il do ya," added Jane, referring to the slogan for Brylcream, an old-school men's hair product.
