Children with apraxia or autism spectrum disorders (or both) often have difficulty learning to communicate. Verbal Behavior Analysis (VBA) based on the work of B.F. Skinner, identifies three basic verbal behaviors: Manding, Tacting, and Intraverbals. Manding is requesting a desired item or activity. Tacting is naming items. Intraverbals are the language behaviors we start using at about two, where we interact with parents and older siblings.
Students with disabilities, especially autism spectrum disorders, have difficulty understanding language. Students with autism often develop Echoics, the practice of repeating what they have heard. Students with autism also often become scripters, memorizing things they have heard, especially on television.
Scripters can sometimes become great talkers—it becomes a platform for them to build language. I find that visual prompts are often powerful ways to help students with autism spectrum disorders organize their language in their heads. The recommended method gives an example of scaffolding to build understanding, increase intraverbals and help the student generalize the verbs across environments.
Before you create the cards needed for this game, you need to decide what verbs you will choose to work with. Children who have added manding to their repertoire should be familiar with "want," "get," "can," "need," and "have." Hopefully, parents, teachers, and therapists have helped them build communication skills by demanding that the children use complete phrases with a verb. I, for one, don't see anything wrong with asking for a "please" as well, though I know conformity or politeness are not the purposes of manding (it's communication!) but it can't hurt, while your teaching language, to help them be more socially appropriate by teaching them how to be polite.
Action verbs are a prime target for teaching verbs. They can easily be paired with the action so the child is clearly linking the word to the action. It can be fun! If you play a game and pick a card from the deck for "jump" and jump, you will more likely remember how to use the word "jump." The fancy term is "multi-sensory," but children with autism are very, very sensory.
Pair the words with the pictures and words. Do it. Teach "jump" by showing the picture, modeling the action and then have the child repeat the word (if able) and imitate the motion. Obviously, you want to be sure the child is able to imitate before you do this program.
Evaluate the child's progress by doing discrete trials with the picture cards across fields of two or three. "Touch jump, Johnny!"
When presented with three pictures of actions (jump, run, hop, etc.) Johnny will receptively identify the actions by pointing to the word when asked across a field of three as implemented by the teacher and teaching staff with 80 percent accuracy across four consecutive probes.
When presented with three pictures of actions (jump, run, hop, etc.) Johnny will expressively identify the actions by verbally naming the item when asked across a field of three as implemented by the teacher and teaching staff with 80 percent accuracy across four consecutive probes (vital for students who are echoic—this moves them to initiate the interaction).
Children with low function, especially on the Autism Spectrum, may come to see discrete trials as work and therefore aversive. Games, however, are a different thing! You will want to keep your discrete trials in the background as assessment, to provide data to provide evidence of the student's or students' progress.
Memory: Run two copies of the action verb cards (or create your own). Flip them over, mix them up and play memory, matching the cards. Don't let a student keep the matches unless they can name the action.
Simon Says: This adapts the game to include the participation of higher functioning students. I always start leading Simon Says and only using Simon Says. Kids love it, even though the purpose (to support attention and listening) is not the purpose for our playing. You can expand by having the higher functioning students lead Simon Says—you might even join them and add to the excitement.

What Two Beatles Taught Me About Love and Respect
April 1, 2022 /0 Comments/in Blog, Media Placements/by Kevin Guest
April 2 is national "Love Our Children Day" in the United States. And it's a perfect reminder to show love and respect to everyone we encounter from adults to children.
Ringo Starr, one of my lifelong idols, is one of the most gracious celebrities I have ever met.
A few years ago, I was backstage before a Ringo Starr concert with a group of fans waiting to meet the world-famous Beatles drummer.
Other fans were nervous, and the lady next to me was hyperventilating because she was about to meet an idol—one of the Beatles. When Ringo arrived, I was first in line, and he smiled, gave me a big hug, and talked to me while looking directly at me. He focused on me and made me feel loved and respected, like I was important. That is a feeling I will never forget.
Years earlier, I saw Paul McCartney on stage for a pre-concert soundcheck and noticed that Paul approached every band and crew member. He hugged them and asked how they were.
I could tell Paul knew them personally and cared about them. Those acts of love and kindness by two of the world's most famous musicians give a remarkable lesson for us all. In this day when so much is in turmoil, we need to show love and respect for others around us.
Love, Relationships
In All the Right Reasons, I write about what I call The Dorothy Principle. In essence, it puts relationships at the top of the priority list.
People have told me the Dorothy Principle has made an instant impact on their lives. I learned long ago that treating others with the utmost respect and kindness is a key to success and makes life more harmonious for everyone.
To illustrate the Dorothy Principle:
On a pop quiz, a college professor asked: 'What is the name of the woman who cleans this building?' and emphasized that nothing is more important than relationships.
The class was blank but soon learned the cleaning lady's name was Dorothy. So I have dubbed that value the Dorothy Principle and have tried to put relationships first in everything I do.
I apply the same principle as Chairman and CEO at USANA Health Sciences.
I urge all of our Associates domestically and internationally to treat others politely with kindness. Learn their names, acknowledge them as you pass by, and step outside of your own issues to be genuinely respectful to everyone.
I believe those simple patterns of behavior can make us all more civil and lift each other to higher levels of harmony in life.
I shared these thoughts and more in a news release that went out on March 31, 2022.
Designed to help others find keys to successful careers and life, All the Right Reasons reveals 12 principles for living a life in harmony. All proceeds from sales of the bestseller are aimed at feeding two million meals to hungry children. Available on Amazon, each book sold provides 40 meals through The USANA Foundation.

News Worth Noting: Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers Basin Study released; DWR wins climate leadership award; State Water Board approves selenium discharge limits for North SF Bay; Report on use of natural remediation for contaminated groundwater sites
News Worth Noting

Bureau of Reclamation's Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers Basin Study Predicts How Climate Change Will Impact the Sacramento and San Joaquin Delta
From the Bureau of Reclamation:
The Bureau of Reclamation has released the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers Basin Study, which found climate change will cause earlier runoff and refill reservoirs earlier in the year, potentially affecting reservoir operations and water storage.
This study, collaboratively developed by Reclamation, the State of California Department of Water Resources, El Dorado County Water Agency, Stockton East Water District, California Partnership for the San Joaquin Valley and Madera County Resource Management Agency, examines climate change impacts and adaptation actions for the Sacramento River Basin, San Joaquin River Basin and the Tulare Lake Basin.
Water from the Tulare Lake Basin reaches the San Joaquin River Basin only in wetter years. Because of the connection with the Central Valley Project, the upper Trinity River Basin was also included in this study. The basins flow into the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, which is the largest estuary on the west coast of the United States.
"These basins are at the center of discussions about the availability of water in California, not only for agriculture, but for municipal and environmental needs as well," Reclamation Commissioner Estevan López said. "Because of the collaborative efforts put forth in this basin study, we now have more information on how climate change will impact this region and a better understanding of what will be needed to ensure a sustainable water supply for today and for the future."
The study found that warming conditions will cause a median sea level rise of 36 inches, which will increase the difficulty of conveying water through the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Also, temperatures will most likely increase by 1.6 degrees Fahrenheit in the early 21st century to almost 4.8 degrees Fahrenheit by late in the 21st century; precipitation may increase in the areas north of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, with very little change projected in the Tulare Lake Basin, where some of the greatest agricultural demands exist; evapotranspiration is expected to increase with warming temperatures; and snowpack will decline with warming temperatures, particularly in the lower elevations of the mountains surrounding California's Central Valley.
Reclamation, along with its partners and stakeholders, developed management actions to address these findings. The study revealed that conservation, groundwater and surface water augmentation projects and operational improvements may improve the reliability and sustainability of the Central Valley Project and State Water Project systems to meet current and future water needs.
The report also identified potential next steps to resolve current and future imbalances. These next steps were grouped into the following categories, Institutional Flexibility, Municipal and Industrial and Agricultural Water Use Efficiency, River Temperature Management, Forest Health, Groundwater and System Conveyance.
The Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers Basin Study is a part of WaterSMART, the Department of the Interior's sustainable water initiative that uses the best available science to improve water conservation and help water resource managers identify strategies to narrow the gap between supply and demand. The report is available at www.usbr.gov/watersmart/bsp. For more information on the WaterSMART program, visit www.usbr.gov/WaterSMART.

"I am proud to distinguish DWR for its outstanding actions and dedication to reduce harmful carbon pollution that leads to climate change," said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. "DWR is leading the way towards a healthy environment, and demonstrates that meeting challenges of a changing climate can be done."
In 2012, the Department adopted the greenhouse gas emissions reduction phase of its Climate Action Plan (CAP), in which DWR commits to reducing its GHG emissions to 50 percent below 1990 levels by 2020 and 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. To achieve these goals, the CAP relies primarily upon using renewable and cleaner energy sources and improving energy efficiency for the State Water Project. As of 2014, DWR's carbon emissions were already approximately 30 percent below 1990 levels.
This year, 17 awards were given to 13 organizations, three partnerships and one individual in the public and private sectors for their leadership in addressing climate change. The 2016 Climate Leadership Award to DWR was for Organizational Leadership. This award recognizes organizations that not only have their own comprehensive greenhouse gas inventories and aggressive emissions reduction goals, but also exemplify extraordinary leadership in their internal response to climate change, and engagement of their peers, partners, and supply chain.
"Over the past 10 years, DWR has developed and implemented a comprehensive approach to addressing climate change," said John Andrew, Assistant Deputy Director, "covering climate science and analysis, mitigation, adaptation, and public outreach. We greatly appreciate that our organizational leadership on this important issue has received this national honor."
As part of US EPA's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the Agency's Center for Corporate Climate Leadership co-sponsors the Climate Leadership Awards with two non-governmental organization partners—the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES), and The Climate Registry (TCR). These organizations seek to highlight leaders in management and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions — both in internal operations and throughout the supply chain — through the awards.
The awards took place today in Seattle, Washington during the Climate Leadership Conference, which is dedicated to professionals addressing global climate change through policy, innovation, and business solutions. The 2015 Climate Leadership Award to DWR was in the "Excellence in Greenhouse Gas Management" category.

State Water Board Approves Selenium Discharge Limits for North San Francisco Bay
From the State Water Resources Control Board:
The State Water Resources Control Board today approved an amendment to the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board's Basin Plan that puts a cap on selenium discharges into North San Francisco Bay.
Selenium is an essential beneficial nutrient in very small quantities, but in higher concentrations it can accumulate in tissues of fish and wildlife, and impair reproduction in sensitive species. Current levels of selenium in the North Bay are not posing a threat to fish and wildlife.
The Basin Plan amendment, in the form of a TMDL, or Total Maximum Daily Load, does not call for a reduction of selenium in the North Bay, but caps the amount of selenium that dischargers, such as oil refineries and wastewater treatment plants, can put into the water body. The selenium TMDL is designed to maintain levels of the mineral in order to protect human health and the environment.
Selenium enters the North Bay from a number of sources, including oil refineries and waste water treatment plants, but the primary source of selenium is the Central Valley watershed, and specifically the San Joaquin River. Selenium occurs naturally in the soils in the San Joaquin River basin, and is leached into the river with farm irrigation drainage.
The Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board already has TMDLs in place to control and reduce the amount of selenium entering the San Joaquin River. Changes in flow regimes on the river may affect the selenium loads in the future. The San Francisco Bay Regional Water Board will continue to monitor North Bay water quality to assure that selenium levels don't threaten fish and wildlife.
Of particular concern in north San Francisco Bay are white sturgeon and Sacramento splittail. Sturgeon are bottom-feeders, eating clams that accumulate selenium.. The TMDL is also protective of green sturgeon, a federal-listed endangered species.
The amendment was adopted on Nov. 18 by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board, and approved today by the State Water Board. The amendment becomes effective upon approval of the Office of Administrative Law and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Lahontan Water Board Approves Report on Use of Natural Remediation for Contaminated Groundwater Sites
The Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Water Board) has approved a report for evaluating and implementing the processes of natural attenuation – a form of natural, non-chemical-based cleanup — for contaminated groundwater sites.
The Monitored Natural Attenuation and Evaluation and Application Report explains how natural attenuation should be properly evaluated, instituted and monitored at cleanup sites throughout the Lahontan Region. Among the recommendations the report explains minimum requirements for determining if monitored natural attenuation is appropriate for certain sites, and achieves cleanup within a reasonable timeframe; and develops a remedial selection process that meets state and federal requirements.
"Having this report, the first of its kind among the state's Regional Water Boards, is an important tool in making sure the use of natural attenuation at cleanup sites throughout our region is properly monitored and conducted," said Amy Horne, Ph.D., chair of the Lahontan Regional Water Board. "With several Department of Defense cleanup sites in our region using monitored attenuation already, and at least another half dozen projects expected to apply for use of it, we need to have clear and concise guidelines for making sure these projects are following the appropriate steps needed to properly complete remediation in a timely manner."
Some of the natural attenuation processes include biodegradation (soil and water break down the pollutant); sorption (contaminants' movements stopped in soil; they are not destroyed); evaporation (constituent may turn from liquid to gas); chemical reaction (naturally-occurring substances may transform pollutants into less harmful forms); and dilution. One or more of these processes may take place at a single cleanup site.
Monitored natural attenuation is considered a passive remediation option due to its dependence on naturally-occurring events, and has been an accepted practice since the 1990s after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Air Force began issuing guidance documents on its use. Other standard forms of cleanup include pump and treatment practices.
Natural attenuation can be an ideal tool for certain cleanup projects, based on site conditions and overall environment. However, this form of remediation is not considered a default remedy. Other viable remedial options, such as standard water treatment and pumping, must be considered along with natural attenuation, and the specific site must be thoroughly evaluated to see if natural attenuation can achieve the desired cleanup goals.
While natural attenuation is dependent on passive techniques — in many instances it is paired with active cleanup protocols (e.g. pumping and treatment) — it is not considered a "do-nothing" approach. Through the Regional Water Board's established reporting and technical requirements, cleanup of sites throughout the Lahontan Region with natural attenuation will be actively monitored. Some of the benefits of using natural attenuation include lower costs and a smaller environmental footprint when it comes to generated waste, surface disturbance and energy use.
The Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board is a California state agency responsible for the preservation and enhancement of the quality of California's water resources in eastern California. For more information about the Lahontan Water Board visit its website.

Q: Sending and receiving data over USB port I'd like to send/receive data over a USB port to a device (from my vista pc). Is there a free/cheap library out there that can do this, and how involved would this project be (not taking into account what's being sent or received) ?

A: You don't specify what's going on here. Does the device already exist? Is it already a USB device?
If you already have a USB device, then the manufacturer should be able to help.
If you are building the device, then you might want to look at something like a USB to serial adapter (which generally require no special drivers at all) or something from FTDI - they make a number of easy-to-use USB chips that generally don't need, or come with appropriate drivers under windows. I've worked with their chips on a couple of occasions and they've never given me any trouble.

A: libusb-win32 maybe?

A: This article in Code project may be a good start for you. At first you need to build your device. You can either use a micro-controller with a USB port or you can use a serial-to-USB chipset (like the already suggested FTDI).
You should avoid writing your own USB library-driver. The article in the CodeProject uses the HDI driver, which is already present in your device. It uses a PIC micro-controller, but my personal favourite is AVR. With AVR you have the following options:

*

*AVR-USB: Implements USB stack in firmware. Drivers, examples for all platforms. Any AVR micro can be used. You may need to build the hardware yourself.

*Atmel's USB family. These are microcontrollers with USB port. Drivers and ready to buy kits are available. Other manufacturers (like Microchip's PIC family) have similar solutions.

A: Without knowing anything else about your situation, and assuming you are in control of the device's USB protocol and drivers, I would recommend using WinUSB.
It is a lot better than libusb-win32 because it is a native part of Windows and it supports asynchronous communication.  Also, libusb-win32 only supports the libusb-0.1 API, which is really old.

My name is breadlover, and this is my den. I'm pretty new to this incarnation of the forums, but as "BlazingSong" I used to be pretty active in the Clan Rp, Off-Topic RP, and Off-Topic discussions sections of the old discussion board around its peak popularity. After I read the Original saga, the first Warriors book I bought was BlueStar's Prophecy (I think? May have been the FireStar special edition...).
I am/was a college student at one certain university usually associated with golden domes and football, but I have been forced to withdraw from the university until the fall 2018 because of mental health and my inability to meet academic requirements as a result. I don't know why, but when that happened I thought to turn here, The community always seemed really supportive, and the average age here is similar to mine. You'll probably find me active in OTRP and OTD, but I'll always be here to talk about anything you or I want.
There are some guidelines I hope you'll follow here.
I am an adult, and althoguht the forums have certain guidelines, I'll prolly be posting about mature stuff relevant to where i am in my life on here. Please keep that in mind and realize that I welcome talk like that. Double-posting and excessive quoting are frowned upon because I want to keep the space neat. Hate/aggression due to political views, sexuality, gender identity, race, etc are just plain not allowed.
I'm a sophomore in college, hoping to return in the fall semester as a classics major. I'm not really religious, I identify as a woman, and I'm straight/bi-curious, I'm not super involved in extracurriculars, but I'm a part of my school's Chorale, which is an esteemed choir that performs several times a year on campus and has two tours this year. One is on the east coast and the other is in Ireland. Unfortunately due to my withdrawing from school I cannot attend either. My chorale buddies are my best friends, and their nickname for me, Breadna, is what inspired my Warriors-eque username on here.
I'm always down to talk about life or whatever is specifically on your mind Feel free to ask my advice an various topics. I may even open up an advice/support thread later.
I love music. I'm learning the Ukulele, and I've been singing for years.
My favorite TV shows are Game of Thrones, Sense8, Rick and Morty, The Office, and Community.
I love memes. I adore edgy memes. I do not like targeted offensive memes.
I really like board/card games. I really wanna play D&D sometime, but I haven't yet.
Hey so I'll be posting some of my characters here soon, but I'm in this really cool rp about 1980s hogwarts rn and we need one more person to grab the last main role! If youre active and enjoy writing, come claim that spot!
hey breadlover, wanna get yheasty?

Q: cell value change not getting captured in vba macro I want to capture when value changes in the cell A2
I tried the below code but it is not working
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("H5")) Is Nothing Then Macro
End Sub

I have a breakpoint inside the macro but its not coming till there
I also tried the below, but no luck
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    MsgBox (Target.Column)
End Sub

A: Worksheet_Change takes a single parameter Target of type Range.  To check if you have changed the range you are interested in you can compare the target to that range, in your case:
If Target = Range("A2") Then
    'Do something
End If

This lets you compare a Range object with another Range object with minimal fuss.
And also put it in the correct sheet.... :P

A: I found out the reason
I placed the macro in wrong place i.e in a different module
For the Private Sub Worksheet_Change to work,
we need to place it in the sheet which needs that detection
I followed the below steps

*

*We need to go to Excel VBA editor by pressing ALT + F11

*Double click on sheet which contains our target cell e.g. Sheet1

*Add the below code to the sheet

The Towson University volleyball team picked up two wins over the weekend. The Tigers will enter the CAA Tournament with the No.3 seed.
The Towson University volleyball team closed out the regular season over the weekend, picking up two more wins at home.
Towson earned up a 3-2 win over UNC Wilmington on Friday before ending the season with a 3-1 victory Saturday evening over Elon. With its two victories over the weekend, the Tigers finished the season on a four-game win streak. TUVB is now 27-4 overall this season and 13-3 in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA).
Towson was led by senior hitter Victoria Williams, who was named Monday as CAA Offensive Player of the Week. She had 39 kills, eight digs, three blocks and two assists in the two matches over the weekend.
With its' strong finish, Towson earned the No. 3 seed in this weekend's CAA tournament at the College of Charleston.
The Tigers will face No. 6 James Madison this Friday at 7 p.m. with the winner facing No. 2 seed Hofstra on Saturday.
The Towson women's basketball team held a late lead but couldn't quite finish, falling at Penn State 71-64 in the opening round of the Preseason WNIT. Last season the Nittany Lions were Big 10 champions.
The loss spoiled a career day for junior guard Dominique Johnson, who led Towson with 32 points. Johnson's 32 points are tied for 11th most in single-game history at Towson and marked the second time in her career she scored 30 or more points in a game.
Towson will now host the WNIT consolation bracket at SECU Arena this weekend.
The action starts Friday (Nov. 21) with St. Francis Brooklyn taking on North Dakota at 4 p.m., followed by Towson meeting Rider at 6:30 p.m.
The action will then continue on Saturday (Nov. 22), with the losers of Friday's contests facing off at 4 p.m. before the winners take the court at 6:30 p.m.
The men's basketball team suffered an 82-54 defeat to Alabama in the team's season opener. Sophomore John Davis led the Tigers with a double-double of 10 points and 12 rebounds.
The women's cross country team finished 23rd in a 29 team field at the NCAA Mid-Athletic Regionals meet on Friday. Ashley Simmons was the team's top finisher, finishing 66th out of 200 runners.
The football team fell 37-14 to William & Mary in the Tigers' home finale. Darius Victor recorded his eighth 100-yard rushing performance of the season. Towson closes out the 2014 season next Saturday at Rhode Island.

An injured humpback whale has a local conservationist concerned.
Peter Hamilton, of Lifeforce Ocean Friends, said he first spotted the juvenile swimming alone on July 8, in the Georgia Strait, about a mile off Cape Lazo, near Comox.
Hamilton was unsure of the cause of the injury.
"It could have been a prop, or it could have been an entanglement, but there was no reports of anyone untangling a humpback," he said. "The cut itself looked like it could have been done by a boat prop, but there were other marks that looked like they could have been rope burns.
Hamilton said he saw the whale again two days later, this time swimming with another whale.
In May, photos surfaced online of an injured humpback in Howe Sound. That injury was suspected to have been caused by a boat propeller.
New regulations imposed this week stipulate boats must remain 200 metres from all killer whales in B.C. The regulated distance from humpbacks remains 100 metres.

Nirvana Live: 1987-1989
Posted: January 2, 2013 in Bleach and the Sub Pop Era 1987-1990, Incesticide
Tail end of last year we started looking at a chart showing the first appearances of Nirvana songs in concert as detailed at the Nirvana Live Guide — shall we continue?
Naturally it's worth disregarding the tranche of new songs in March — anything they played was by definition a new performance given it was Nirvana's first show. What's most noticeable really is how many of the songs emerging in 1987 and the first month of 1988 were simply discarded; Hairspray Queen, Aero Zeppelin (these two until 1992), Beeswax (until 1991), Downer, If You Must, Pen Cap Chew, Annorexorcist, Vendetagainst, Erectum/Raunchola — most of an album is thrown away by the end of January 1988. The speed with which new songs were appearing would be impressive were it not for the fact that the band wasn't exactly overworked at the time so there was plenty of time to come up with new songs. The issue was perhaps one related to the nature of the songs being created — Nirvana's 1987 identity lay in relatively complex new wave songs, with extremely long-winded lyrics, hardly conducive to fast preparation. To be fair, Kurt Cobain was honest in saying that he was hardly a constant or prolific writer, he relied on catching the moments of inspiration and getting them noted down, recorded, before they burnt out. 1987 still relied on three year old songs refreshed and reprised from their Fecal Matter form to flesh out the setlist. On the other hand, wow, almost every month Nirvana perform (and for which a set-list is available) there's a new song featured. The band were moving at speed.
Of course, particularly in the early years, we're looking at a record with gaps — a particularly low percentage of set-lists from 1987-1988 are present, even in 1989 only just over 50%. Given Mr. Moustache and Sifting were present in vestigial form back at the June 1988 recording sessions for the first Sub Pop single, it's likely they made it onstage for the first time during the seven-eight shows seen between that recording session and the next full set-list on October 30. Likewise it seems unlikely that the apparent appearance of Blandest in July 1989 was the first or only time the song received an airing before its abandonment:
What's also interesting is the 'late' arrival of a handful of the tracks from Bleach. A good portion of Bleach was written long before the album session, however, there was significant rewriting of Blew, Sifting and Mr. Moustache after their first appearance and as late as mid-December (evidenced by the footage captured on the With the Lights Out DVD.) Meanwhile, the fact Negative Creep and Scoff don't make any showing of any sort until April-May 1989, though partially a consequence of the long gap in the record, also suggests that those two songs specifically were last minute hurried additions to Bleach; the brevity of their lyrics likewise.
The nearly uniform month by month drip of new songs is quite remarkable in 1989, December is the first month in which the band play that year (even if only a smattering of shows) in which they don't chuck either a fresh original, or a rarity into the mix. It says a lot about their desire to keep the experience of playing entertaining that they vary their shows so much. It made sense in 1987 through early 1989 when the band were repeatedly replaying Washington State venues (take a look back at the maps on this blog) — they'd be seeing the same audiences quite regularly — yet, from mid-1989 they were setting off on their travels, the audiences were brand new to Nirvana's performances, the knowledge and trade of Nirvana rarities was minimal, the only people who would know it was a new song, or an abandoned track, were the band. I feel that it was for the band's own pleasure that they made these efforts to vary their performances.

Befriending service issues festive appeal
John, who has been with his befriender for two years, will be 94 on Christmas Eve
By a Piper Reporter
Published: 11:36 Wednesday 21 December 2016
A local charity is urging people in the Deeside area to help support older people who may alone this Christmas.
Kincardine and Deeside Befriending works to combat loneliness and isolation in the elderly community.
According to Age Scotland, 54,000 older Scots will spend Christmas on their own.
New figures also show that nearly 65.000 Scots aged 60 or over feel lonelier during the Christmas period, while 200,000 regularly go three or four days without speaking to anyone.
Kincardine and Deeside Befriending's Deeside co-ordinator Lisa Wass said: "We aim to reduce loneliness and social isolation by matching an older person on a one-to-one basis with a volunteer befriender.
"During 2016, Kincardine and Deeside Befriending supported over 100 older people providing weekly or fortnightly visits to offer much-needed companionship and social stimulation."
John (pictured) has been matched with his befriender Judy for two years. He lives alone in a caravan and is unable to go out due to poor health and frailty. He will be 94 on Christmas Eve but has no family to celebrate the occasion.
John relies solely on the goodwill of his neighbour and his befriender who visits once a week to take him out.
Judy said: "It's heartbreaking to know that so many older people will spend the Christmas period alone. I will be popping in to see John and hope to take him out for his birthday on Christmas Eve."
Anyone who enjoys the company of older people and has a couple of hours to spare every week or fortnight should get in touch with the charity.
Volunteers are particularly needed in the Banchory, Aboyne and Ballater areas.
For further information contact Lisa Wass on 01330 823368 or 07816958839.

Day 9:Cruise from Vancouver
Day 10:Cruise the Inside Passage
Alaska's Inside Passage is a protected network of waterways that wind through glacier-cut fjords and lush temperate rain forests along the rugged coast of Southeast Alaska. Arguably one of the greatest cruising routes in the world, the Inside Passage stretches through stunning landscapes, from Misty Fjords National Monument to famed Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve.
Sailing the Inside Passage offers opportunities to spot some of Alaska's most iconic wildlife, with humpback whales and orca plying the bountiful waters alongside the ships, bald eagles soaring overhead and brown bears lumbering on the shoreline.
Numerous ports along the way recount Alaska's colorful history. In Sitka, an onion-domed church marks Russia's onetime foothold in the Americas; Ketchikan provides a glimpse of the Native Alaskan experience, with historic totem poles and native-arts galleries; and the legendary town center of Skagway bustles as it did at the turn of the 19th century, when it served as the rowdy Wild West gateway to the Klondike Gold Rush.
Day 11:Juneau
Juneau, Alaska may well be the most remote, most beautiful and strangest state capital in the United States. Surrounded by water, forest and mountain sights, visitors seeking things to do in Juneau indoors and outdoors can hike a glacier, eat fresh-caught fish on a seaside patio and tour a grand capitol building all in one day.
The city itself is pleasant, but the real highlight of a visit to Juneau is tracking down some wildlife. You can hike up Mount Roberts to chance upon wild deer and bald eagles. Most sightseeing and whale-watching tours head north to Auke Bay—bring a good pair of binoculars to get the best view of these majestic and surprisingly graceful creatures. If you prefer land mammals, catch a floatplane to a nearby wildlife reserve such as Chichagof or Admiralty Island to spy some bears lolling around.
The sleepy, misty city of around 32,000—mostly fishermen and small-business owners—has a frontier town vibe, but welcomes more than a million visitors each summer to its natural attractions, cementing Juneau as Alaska's number-one tourist destination
Day 12:Skagway
At the height of the Klondike Gold Rush, the port town of Skagway served as the primary gateway to the legendary gold fields, and quickly grew into Alaska's largest settlement. It was then a raucous frontier hub packed with trading posts, saloons and guesthouses. As the gold rush faded into the 1900s, so did Skagway—but today it has been reinvigorated as a gateway for a new kind of visitor: those looking to explore Alaska's colorful history, pristine wildlife and unrivaled natural beauty.
At every turn, you'll find yourself immersed in gold rush lore, from the infamous Red Onion Saloon that still keeps a pistol that Wyatt Earp left behind en route to the Klondike, to the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad, a classic narrow-gauge railway that traverses rugged mountains and passes cascading waterfalls and towering glaciers as it connects Skagway to Whitehorse deep in the Yukon. Much of the town has been preserved as part of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park, where rangers offer free walking tours around the historic district. Here you'll also find a vibrant local community, home to a rich collection of local galleries, curio shops and restaurants serving seafood plucked fresh from nearby water
Day 13:Glacier Bay
Frosted crags descend into mossy forests and a 457-meter-deep (1,500-foot-deep) fjord at this World Heritage Site, which is also one of the planet's largest biosphere reserves. Stone, ice and water continue to collide, sculpting a dramatic landscape that is the crown jewel of southeastern Alaska's natural wonders.
The area's first European explorer missed it all—but with good reason. When Captain George Vancouver sailed here in 1794, a vast shield of ice, more than 1,200 meters (3,937 feet) thick, dominated the area. In one of the fastest retreats on record, the glaciers shrank back 105 kilometers (65 miles) by 1916. The formerly glacier-squashed land is rebounding now, rising 30 millimeters (1.18 inches) each year. Visitors can observe this rebirth: A spruce-hemlock rain forest has sprouted near the mouth of Glacier Bay. Farther north, the more recently exposed land shows sharper edges and thinner vegetation. Still, it's enough to encourage the return of wildlife, from bald eagles to bears, moose and humpback whales.
While the national park is open year round, most travelers prefer the warmth of late May to early September. Even in summer, be prepared for any weather—especially rain! Pack a hat, gloves, wool or fleece layers, a warm coat and waterproof gear if you want to admire the landscape from the open deck of your ship.
Day 14:Ketchikan
Day 16:Arrive Vancouver, fly to UK
Upon dis-embarkation, transfer to airport for your overnight flight to the UK. Private transfer from cruise terminal to Vancouver Airport included.

Q: How to get the look and feel of ios 6 on a device having ios 7 using xcode 5.1..? How to get the look and feel of ios 6 on a device having ios 7 using xcode 5.1..?
I have an app which is currently have the look and feel of ios 6 and does not have flat UI supported.
I was using xcode 4.6 and was deploying the app on ios 7 so the look and feel was of ios 6.
But now since I have moved to XCODE 5.1 the app when deployed on ios 7 gives the look and feel of ios 7.
Is there any way I can still make it look like the ios 6 UI.?
Any help is appreciated.

A: For the look and feel of ios6 on ios7 devices, you need to add and use the images of ios6 resources.
Images for button background, Table background, etc. for each component which is used in your app.
We don't get ios6 resources in ios7 device by default.


BMW M2 Boot Space, Size, Seats | What Car?
The M2 Competition is much more practical than many of its sports car rivals. The fact you get two rear seats immediately makes it easier to live with than Porsche's two-seat 718 Cayman, although anyone over six-foot tall will struggle for head room in the back. Leg room also disappears rapidly should you have a pair of tall people sitting in the front.
You get decently sized door pockets up front, a cubbyhole under the central armrest and a glovebox that's a good size. Making the M2 even more practical is its sizable 390-litre boot – that's officially 10 litres more space than you get in a VW Golf and enough for a six carry-on suitcases. The boot opening is a little narrow, though, so in reality the M2 Competition isn't as practical as a similarly powerful hatchback, such as the Audi RS3.
