Hi! I'm Ashley Phelps from Palm Coast, Florida. I'm sixteen years old and a sophomore at Flagler Palm Coast High School, or FPCHS for short. I'm originally from Ohio, I moved to Florida about four years ago. And I must say it was a life changing move.
Most of my hobbies and interests lie in the creative field. I love photography, drawing, writing, music, and acting. I've been in plays, taken photography classes, and I plan to pursue a career in journalism after graduating from college. I hope to someday advance to becoming editor-in-chief for a popular magazine. I also would love to travel the world and experience different cultures. Everyone has a story to tell, you just have to be open to listening.
I'm also really interested in politics and current issues facing our world. I think if you want to make a big change, you have to be informed of the issues at hand. It's killing me that I won't be able to vote in the 2008 presidential election, laws are laws. But I still think young people can gain a lot from knowing and learning about what's going on in their own country and others. It's their future that will face the consequences of what we do today and I think the youth of the world has a responsibility to make sure the future is a place we will all want to live in.
Besides that I'm pretty much a normal teenage girl. I love to spend time with my friends and family. You'll almost always see me with a smile on my face. I give thanks everyday for three things, no matter how small they are. In a world filled with so much negativity, it's great to appreciate the positives in your life!
It's kind of hard how to describe how it felt to know that the exchange process was truly a done deal, or when I actually felt it. Maybe it was when I got my visa (finally!) or maybe it was when I got my Rotary cards and pins. Maybe it was when I got my flight schedule and found out the tickets had been issued (no turning back after that). But I really think it was when I attended a Rotary meeting at my sponsor club, the Flagler Beach Rotary Club.
It was the day right after a 07-08 inbound, Laura, from Italy left. The mood at the meeting was fun, and energetic, but somber in a way. To make things more interesting, an 06-07 inbound from Brazil was visiting, and I think it made things all the more emotional. At the meeting, it was announced that Laura had left a letter, a message from herself to the Rotary Club who had hosted her. Meeting them, I could only hope my host club will be that wonderful. They were some of the most kind and warm people I'd ever met.
Laura had wanted the visiting 06-07 inbound from Brazil to present the message. But it was clear that it was difficult for her. By the second line, it was too much. The letter was handed off to another member of the club, who read it aloud to us.
Sitting there surrounded by my fellow 08-09 Outbounds, I couldn't help but feel connected to every word Laura spoke in the letter. She talked of the Rotary meeting, how everything would take place. It gave me chills as the letter was read. She described the proceedings of the club, action for action. This was my first time attending the meeting, and her letter was a play by play. Every person, every word, every motion.
It was obvious how connected the club was to Laura, tears flowed from every eye by the time the letter was done. I could not cry. I didn't want to. Not then. I felt almost as if I was intruding on something very personal. The connection the club had made with their host child, and the connection she had made with them, wasn't something I was part of. It was personal, intimate, and obviously, still very raw.
The meeting concluded only a few minutes after, and I rushed to the car. I didn't know how I felt, I didn't know what to say. And when my parents asked me how the meeting was, all I had for them was tears. They came from a place I had never tapped into, they were the strangest tears I'd ever shed. I couldn't explain to them why I was crying, I wasn't sure myself.
I tried to explain how it felt to see something so amazing. To see how much Laura had grown, from her own eyes and her host club's. I watched their faces swell with pride as they read the letter she'd written in almost perfect English. I watched them nod, smile, frown as she talked about the good things, the bad things, and the funny things that had made her exchange so special. I could feel, within those moments, about 20 hearts breaking, in two different places, thousands of miles away. Nineteen of those hearts belonged to the club. One to Laura. Her heart was breaking.
Just like my heart would about twelve months from then.
I knew right then and there that this experience is and will continue to be everything everyone has said it will be. I know it will be scary at first. Confusing, frustrating. I know there will be good times, amazing times. And I know in the end I will walk away with a life and love so much richer than the one I began with.
I cry every time I think about that meeting, I cry every time I think about leaving, I'm crying now.
Not because I'm sad, or happy, but because I am so amazed by this program. I cry because I know I can only imagine the relationships I will make, the bonds I will forge. I cry because I know it will not be easy. I cry because I want it so bad, it seems unreal. Like a far away dream that can't possibly be real. But it is real. It's so real.
I know we've all said it, but I have to say it any time I get the chance. I thank Rotary SO MUCH for this opportunity to experience something so life altering. I thank them with everything I have, heart and soul, for giving me the chance of a lifetime.
After two months in France, it has been exactly what I expected and nothing like I expected. I myself have been exactly like I expected and nothing like I expected. In many ways France has changed my mind, opened me up to a lot of different ideas about what's important and what is not so important. It has also shown me a new side of myself, not afraid to take risks, or at least, not so afraid that I don't at least attempt to take risks.
Before I came to France I had a lot of silly fears. I was afraid of the dark sometimes, spiders, heights, being alone in social situation, being alone period. But all those fears went out the window when I came to France (well all except the fear of heights, that one is staying for good!). But when shoved into a situation where you have no choice, you either have to learn to adapt and roll with what life has given you or sit there on an island of fear, unwilling to move. For example, my first or second week in France I was laying on my bed watching a movie in French when I saw something move out of the corner of my eye. I thought it was a fly or moth or something because I had had the window open all day. So I simply shooed it away with my hand and kept watching my movie. But then I noticed I hadn't seen it fly away or anything, so I looked back down to get a better look. Crawling on my bed, inches away from my hand was a HUGE spider.
Needless to say, I freaked out. I screamed, jumped off my bed, threw off the covers, danced around wiping my hands all over my body in case it had got on me. And then I just stood there, in the half dark, looking around my room, shaking with fear wondering what I was supposed to do. At home I would've gotten my dad to kill it if he was awake, if not I would've just gotten the can of extra strength Raid and killed it.
But in France there was no dad, and no bug spray. Sure I had my host dad, but it was in the middle of the night and I didn't want to wake them up. And if they have Raid in France (which I have yet to see) I had no idea where to find it in the house. So I was stuck. What was I supposed to do? I stood there on the small throw rug, my island of fear, for five minutes. Just looking around, hoping for something to save me. And that's when I realized, there WAS no one to save me from this. I was going to have to take care of myself, for once in my life.
So I stripped the bed and shook out the sheets, checked under the bed and along the floor. The spider had disappeared. Then I remade the bed and went back to sleep. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Trying to sleep knowing it could be anywhere. I was terrified, I did it anyways.
A couple days later I saw the spider. I wanted to kill it, but I couldn't bring myself to step on it. I was still terrified. I searched the room for something with a flat bottom to smash it with but I saw nothing. Then I saw a three footed bench that my host brother (who's in Indiana right now) used when he was drumming. It was a perfect tool for killing the spider because I could just tilt the stool back on two legs, position the third leg above the spider, and drop it. I did it, biting my lip to keep from squealing. And the spider was smashed and dead. Or at least it seemed to be. I went to bed and answered an email from a friend, and then I got up to go look at my achievement. The spider was ALIVE and moving. I was horrified. I feel a little bad because that spider got all my aggressions from the first couple of weeks in France that night. I stomped on it, until it was in pieces. I destroyed that spider and felt good. I was proud of myself because I had done something I would previously never do, without thinking, just reacting. Because I had to, I had to move off my island of fear and the only way to do that was to face the fear.
No spider has ever lived long in this room in France since.
I think this analogy applies to my whole time in France though. At first you are really afraid of even simple things, like ordering at a restaurant or taking a bus. But these are things that you have to do if you want to live your life, and even though they are difficult, you have to face them. Sure, I sometimes still make mistakes ordering or forget that the bus doesn't stop at a certain place on certain days, but that's life. Even in the US, I was bound to make mistakes sometimes. The difference between the US and here is that in the US I soon forgot my mistake and moved on, but in France I don't forget a single mistake, I learn from them. The better ability to learn from my mistakes is probably the first and one of the greatest gifts France has given me. Of course there are others, the better appreciation of things and people you took for granted back home, the greater knowledge of a world and a type of a life outside of yours. The better ability to be observant, because when you can't talk normally to people you begin to notice their actions, expression, body language, and begin to draw conclusions based on these things.
And of course the most important gift France has given me so far, the great admiration and appreciation for a little language I like to call Franglais (that's Franglish for you English speakers.) Franglais is amazing, and I literally would not be able to get on here without it. Of course when my French develops I won't need Franglais anymore, but right now it is my knight in shining armor and I think I may miss it a little when it's gone. I love you Franglais.
As for France, the country itself is absolutely beautiful, picturesque. Sometimes I just look outside my window and ask myself how I got so lucky to be in such a beautiful place. The scenery is amazing, and somehow, distinctly French, even though you could find small mountains and valleys like this in the US. As for my city, Aurillac, it's small, but equally as beautiful as the country that surrounds it. Walking its streets you can find just about anything. And although it is modernized, its cobblestone and narrow streets leave you with a sense of old worldliness. And in this bustling city and its suburban outskirts, there are these little pockets of beauty too amazing to ignore. For example, one day I had an hour or so to kill by myself, waiting to catch my bus. Since I had been here for about a month and knew my way around the city center pretty well, I decided to take a walk to this church I had been dying to see but had never gotten the chance to. I winded down the streets, using the steeple that rose above the buildings as my guide. When I approached the church I was amazed by not only its beauty but its obvious age, and, how simply the people of the town passed it by, like it was nothing to be too terribly excited about.
I was thrilled, I walked the perimeter of the church, taking in the details. And then there was the garden. You see lots of churches in France have these little gardens behind them, very quiet, serene, and beautiful. But this was the first one I'd ever been in. It was so amazing, I decided immediately that one day, after my year was over, I had to return and show it to someone. I just sat on a bench and sighed. It still to this day is my favorite place in the city, even though I've only been there twice.
But there are many great things to see and places to go in the city, so many that sometimes, walking with friends or family, they come up on me by surprise and I'm blown away by how architecturally beautiful France really truly is. And then there are the cafes that stand on about every corner, Le Milk, being a particular favorite, frequented by my friends and me. The atmosphere is super warm and cozy and you just want to settle down with your coffee or cappuccino and read a nice book, or have a nice talk with friends, both of which I have been lucky enough to do at Le Milk.
Oh and the food, of course, is to die for. Very rich and hearty, especially in these mountains, a lot of meat and potatoes. But the desserts, oh those are the best. The desserts and the pastries are my favorite thing about France. And when asked by a Rotary member, I told him just that, and he laughed but agreed with my choice. Even the French themselves know their desserts are magnificent.
So France is obviously much different from being at home, from school, to friends, and of course family. But I have found that while there are many differences, when you really get down to the heart of a country, which I believe is the people, the differences are hardly noticeable. Sure a few social graces, language obviously, but when you really start to look I think you see that people are just people. There are annoying brothers and sisters, strict moms and dads, boyfriend, girlfriends, best friends, and worst enemies. There is everything and every type of person you would find at home and I am starting to think, probably in the whole world.
I am enjoying my time in France a lot and while sometimes I am homesick (it does happen) I know that this is something that I can never repeat, a moment in my life that will never happen again, and I am going to embrace it for what it is - and unforgettable experience. I can't wait to see what it has in store for me next. Two weeks of vacation is around the corner, and I think we are going to get a little traveling in. Promise to take pictures.

After our whole debacle on Saturday, we were on the ferry heading home and I was still feeling pretty mad. To pass the time, I pulled out my camera and wanted to play with it on the manual settings - just to see if I could get anything good (and learn at the same time). I put your handsome face in the frame and started snapping.
This is what you did for me, and made me forget all about the previous few hours.
Are you the greatest, or what?
Then you humored me while I took more random pictures and we played with the Color Outline feature.
Thank you for cheering me up and for embracing my wanna-be-photographer-ness.
We needed to laugh. And laugh, we did.
Goal for the week is to learn how to use my new awesome Nikon SLR....You have inspired me!
Well, thank you! It has been a lot of fun learning how to use my Nikon :) Once you get comfortable using it - teach yourself how to use it in Manual. There's nothing better! Good luck! Thanks for following!


Do you want to boost revenue for your next launch or promotion?
Have you thought about using Facebook Messenger ads to engage prospects?
Messenger ads provide a personal experience for customers and prospects.
How to Set Up a Facebook Messenger Ad by Tammy Cannon on Social Media Examiner.
Because Messenger ads are high touch, the best way to use them is when there's a short window of time where people can message you. For instance, if you're launching a new product but the cart is closing soon, run a Messenger ad and ask if anyone has questions. Target your ad to people who landed on your sales page when your cart opened but didn't purchase your product.
You could also run a Messenger ad when bonuses are ending for a promotion or the price is going up for a product. Use the ad to urge potential customers to take action because the bonuses are ending or the price is rising.
Suppose you want to create a custom audience of people who watched your webinar but didn't go on to purchase the master class. To create this audience, choose the Customer File option and upload a list of emails from the people who watched the webinar. You can then retarget this audience with a Messenger ad, letting them know that the master class price will be going up in a few days.
You might also want to create a custom audience of people who engaged with videos but didn't opt into the webinar or purchase the master class. You can target both custom audiences with your ads. It's up to you.
Filling out the Message Text field can be beneficial to remind people who have responded to your Messenger ad. Closer to cart closing, you could send another message to them without having to run another ad. The ad image would remind them they've interacted previously. Powerful!
When users click the CTA in a regular news feed ad, they're sent to a landing page to register for a webinar, download a freebie, or even purchase a product. With a Messenger ad, clicking the CTA opens a thread in Messenger, where they can start a conversation with you. This gives you the opportunity to answer their questions, develop a relationship, and potentially generate revenue.
What do you think? Do you see the potential of using Messenger ads for your business? Will you use them for your next product launch or promotion? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Though I generally find myself in the school of thought that "anytime is a good time for giving" and "anytime is right for renewal," I nevertheless find myself over-shopping for gifts at Christmas time and daydreaming about radical New Year's changes that I'll implement when January arrives. Such is life. Despite my best efforts to be completely unique, I often find myself riding the same train as everyone else.
That being said, this is not always a bad thing. Being part of community and culture is also deeply satisfying and fulfills me in many ways. In fact, the older I get, the more I focus on consciously cultivating connection to these things, particularly on a local level.
This past year, my only child turned 11 years old. I myself turned 33. My son is balancing in a delicate limbo between adolescence and childhood, and it's a new ground for me in terms of parenting. In the past decade, I've made major gains in terms of becoming who I am and knowing what I want (hooray for 30s!). I have beautifully refined the life-changing art of Saying No. I have been working hard to continually chill the f*ck out because I have learned over and over again that the alternative is extremely damaging to myself, my health, and my relationships.
When I look at the calendar on my desk and see that the new year is fast approaching, what commitments come to mind for me? Well, I just want to be myself more. Again. Still. This is one of my favorite things to work on. It is a project that demands constant attention and work, and the environment around it is ever-changing to boot. I've found that the ways to best continue forward on this mission are simple, though not necessarily easy: Stay home a lot. Go outside. Say no to things that don't feel good. Spend time only with people who fill my cup. Rest. Relax. Remember what doesn't really matter (so many things). Give fewer f*cks. Learn new things.
It seems that for me, the most efficient process of self-illumination is an alchemical balance between total comfort and learning new things. At home, I feel most like myself. I'm comfortable there, I'm inspired to write and to create and ideas are born in my heart. Yet when I go out and learn something new, something completely foreign, I become more of myself. New petals unfold. And then I can bring these petals home with me, to my incubation space.
My commitment then, is clear. I must be myself more. How does this look in action? It is slow and steady, small movements each day. It is not profound and it is not necessarily wild. It means paying attention to the process, not so much the outcome. It means speaking my truth through words, but also through my actions. I will spend my time on valuable things, like love, inspiration, education, and sleep. I will spend my energy on things that give back; exhaustion is preferable to depletion. I will write, I will sign my son up for baseball, I will put down my phone, I will listen to what he says. I will marvel at the uniqueness of each human life, and I will value—so very much—my own.

Sometimes children learn from people and influences that are outside the box or under the radar. Sometimes children learn clear benefits that never come without a light being shone by teachers on the shadows of places they never would have looked. And sometimes they learn, as stated in the old Chinese book, I Ching that "obstacles are part of life just as boulders are part of a river. The river does not complain there are boulders in its path. It looks forward to the friction and loves the drama of the interaction".
The Learning Skills Academy's web site, www.lsa-dcs.org, has a wealth of information about the school, its programs and its commitment to children with special needs. The school was started by Bill Carpenter, Rye resident and parent, in 1985. (See quote in caption under photo at right).
The Academy is also a member of the New Hampshire Private Special Education Association, the Learning Disabilities of America and the Coalition of Essential Schools. It is a non-profit organization, approved by New Hampshire and Massachusetts as a private school with diploma granting privileges. High school students can earn a diploma upon meeting state graduation requirements. The Learning Skills Academy is approved for 26 students and currently has 21 in grades 4 through 12 with a staff of 15 handling teaching and professional services.
Students come from many towns in New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Maine, and some travel as long as 1 1/2 hours by bus. They are referred in several ways, usually starting with a phone call from a school district or parent. Sometimes local school districts cannot provide the services needed and they will request placement. Individual families may come and visit. And, if they feel it is an appropriate placement for their child, may apply for admission. All tests and evaluations will be reviewed, and everyone involved will come to a collective decision on whether or not the school can meet the needs of the child.
Each student learns how to live with his particular learning style, and LSA offers programs and designs classes to help students be successful. The students are bright with average to above average intelligence. They may have difficulties with reading, writing or math and have Language-Based Learning Disabilities or Nonverbal Learning Disabilities. All classes use Language-based instruction, and students learn basic skills with one-to-one instruction in the Language Lab and spend as much time there as required.
Two days each month students attend Adventurelore and experience activities such as ocean kayaking, mountain biking, rock climbing, orienteering, a ropes course, etc. This adventure education is a real-life application of higher-order thinking skills. Students learn to work as a team, develop confidence, overcome fear and bring these skills back to the school.
Communications are an integral part of the school. They are enforced with three teacher meetings held each week to make sure everybody is on the same page. With individual and group instruction (no group larger than ten, with most at six) educational plans and programs are reviewed and may be tweaked to meet the individual needs of each student. It is important for the students to experience success on a daily basis while meeting high standards. The staff teaches new ways to study and identifies the best ways to learn within each students individual learning style.
At the Learning Skills Academy parents are encouraged to be involved in the school. Classes sometimes take place in the nearby woods and at the beach. Depending on student interest, the school offers special activities such as a runners club, yoga club, etc. It has after-school programs in Math, Test Preparation, Study Skills, etc., for its own students as well as other students who attend schools in the area. It has a Tutorial Center for students aged 5-21. The Academy offers a summer program for the month of July.
The school building is located at the intersection of Washington Road and Route 1 just behind the businesses on the Washington Road side. As you walk in the front door you have an immediate welcoming feeling. The corridors are well lighted and show off children's school papers that are hung on the walls. Classrooms are neat and clean and well decorated with more student work. The Gym room has bright painted walls with one side a rock climbing wall. Everybody climbs the wall. The school has two community dinners each year. The Gym is transformed three times a year for school dances, one a semi-formal.
Teachers and students are busy working the lesson plans of the day. There are smiles on their faces. You can tell they are happy. They look and act as though they belong. There is a kinship, a community, an LSA community.

Province of Lucca
VISITITALY HOLIDAY TUSCANY PROVINCE OF LUCCA
PROVINCE OF LUCCA TOURISM: BEST OF PROVINCE OF LUCCA
PROVINCIA DI LUCCA: THE JEWEL OF TUSCANY
written by Emilio Aronica
The Provincia di Lucca in Tuscany is a province centred around the capital city Lucca. It is an area of great beauty, from the medieval capital city to the surrounding countryside which is typically Tuscan.
Visitors to Lucca itself can enjoy the peace of a city where little traffic is allowed within the walls which enclose the historic centre, with the top of the walls themselves being a popular route for cycling and relaxing evening walks.
The city is sometimes referred to as Pisa without the crowds, and while there is no leaning tower, there is the Torre Guinigi whose 230 steps will reward with a great view of the town viewed in the shade of the giant oaks which grow on the top. Also worth a climb is the Torre del Ore or Clock Tower, which is slightly higher and a little less visited by tour parties. The Piazza San Michele, in the centre is built on the site of the ancient Roman forum and is surrounded by 13th century buildings of great architectural interest.
Elsewhere in the Lucca province, the Versilia coastline has several good beach resorts with Viareggio the best known and easily reachable by train, while the interior Garfagna is a beautiful piece of countryside with tree-clad rolling hills, olive groves and vineyards. A notable sight near Borgo e Mazzano is the 11th century Ponte della Maddelena which spans the river Serchio, with a high central arch which seemingly defies gravity, and makes for a scenic place to stop and enjoy the countryside.

Traditional Potters of India
Marilyn P. Beaudry
Rita P. Wright
An examination of traditional pottery methods and practices in light of an exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. in 1987.
A collection of the small votive figures and utilitarian pots made by Jhithru
"We stood on a hillside surveying th landscape for just he "right spot." M. Palaniappan preferred the low, more level area near the base of the hill, while Jhithru Ram favored the more sloping crest. Three others of us stood by observing as they spoke animatedly in Hindi. The day, a steamy one in early June, marked the beginning of a research project that was to last some two months. It included two village potters from India who had come to the Smithsonian Institution as participants in the Aditi Exhibition, and three archaeologists with interests in ancient pottery. The project involved the study of the production techniques used by traditional Indian potters and their ability to adapt to new materials and to produce their ceramics in a new environment. Today, we were deleting the site for the kilns in which they eventually would fire their ceramics."

Ten Effective Strategies on How to Build a Family Tree
Google Limitations on Genealogy Searches
The Death of Google News Archive
We often get asked what happened to the Google News Archive. Unfortunately, Google announced in May 2011 that it would stop its historic newspaper archive project. This is sad news as the Google News Archive was an important source of information for genealogists wanting to trace their ancestors and for anyone wanting to look up historical information. The project had already scanned roughly 2,000 historic newspapers from around the world. Some of the scanned newspapers were particularly valuable because they were from less developed countries that lacked traditional genealogical records.
Fortunately, the Google News Archive is not going away, at least not for the moment. According to a Google spokesperson "users can continue to search digitized newspapers at news.google.com/archivesearch, but we don't plan to introduce any further features or functionality to the Google News Archives and we are no longer accepting new microfilm or digital files for processing".
The Genealogy Search Engine is now capable of searching the entire Google News Archive. It is the only ancestral search engine on the internet that has this capablility.
What Killed Google News Archive?
It appears that two things lead to Google's decision to cease work on their News Archive: complaints from large newspaper publishers and Apple's iPad drawing too many publishers to the Apple platform.
The irony of newspaper publishers exerting pressure to shut down a newspaper archive is just too rich given that newspaper readership has been steadily falling over the last several years (see Why Are Newspapers Dying?) and the copyright had expired for many of the old newspapers.
When the British Museum announced plans in 2010 to digitize its historic newspaper collection, the Murdoch news organization complained bitterly about the project and tried to get it shut down. Clearly others had also complained to Google through lawsuits and other means about the company's attempt to organize the world's information through historic newspaper archives and other approaches. The weight of these complaints must have been felt by Google.
Apple's attempt to ring fence newspaper publishers on their platform has also clearly alarmed Google. The sad reality for genealogists is that there is simply more money to be made from selling current news that trying to sell access to historic archived newspapers.

Specifically, his speech will examine how coatings manufacturers can leverage the latest advancements in functional coatings and explore possibilities for multi-purpose coatings that layer more than one functionality into a single formulation. "Strategic innovation is the key to success in today's business climate," maintains Dave White. "The ECS is an ideal platform to meet with raw material, packaging or equipment suppliers and attend technical presentations and panel discussions on the latest trends, technologies and services in the coatings industry."

A: if you had application on your emulator, you must use
react-native start if you use native code or use npm start if you use Expo on you device. And run your app on your device and do reload, so your packge server can connect to your emulator.

A: Run "adb devices" in cmd.  If you see "emulator-5554   offline", just do as this answer.

I've made several new 4th of July decorations this year, and they have a little bit more of that rustic look to them, and I am LOVING it. Most of my older decorations are brighter reds, whites and blues. For this project, I started out by painting each of the fireworks. Then I cut the paper for the fronts of them. Using wood glue I adhered the paper, then used a sanding block to distress the edges and get the paper just right.
Then, using the handle end of my sponge paint brush, I curled some wire, I decided to go with a coppery brown color that looks rustic, and I glued it into the holes in the tops.
Finally I got some twine and tied it around the three of them. I love the finishing touch it gives. I think ribbon/twine makes everything better!
This will be the perfect addition to go on my shelf this year, with all of the other fun decorations.
Have you started thinking about 4th of July decorations yet?
If you like this project, you may also like this Star Slat Board.
Love the red, white and blue projects!
What a cute and festive idea! We would love for you to share at our first Super Summer Saturday party here: http://www.thechirpingmoms.com/2013/06/super-summer-saturday-party.html!

1 killed, 5 wounded Tuesday in Chicago
CHICAGO - One person was killed and five others wounded Tuesday in Chicago, including two men who were shot — one of them fatally — within the same hour in separate shootings on the West Side.
Authorities were called about 2:30 p.m. for shootings in Lawndale and West Garfield Park, according to a Chicago Fire Department official.

What Do You Want in Your Obituary?
Our local newspaper now charges for obituaries. Some obituaries are short and to the point, while others take up several columns. It got me thinking about what I would want in my obituary. What about you? Obituaries and tombstones are so important to genealogists. We LOVE to find connections and important facts through these important research tools.
So what would we put into our own obituary to acknowledge the needs our fellow genealogist?
Would I want a whole article written about me like a local pioneer Seibold Reents who died in 1929? He was a prominent member of the rural community and "fewer enjoyed a wider acquaintance or was more highly esteemed than he".
If I wanted to include as much as would be helpful to a genealogist, what would I include?
as many family members as will fit, with residences (of course!)?
Or, would you decide to write a simple obituary with a notation: please see full genealogy and give your website address! This may be the way of the future!

NYPD Officer Found Not Guilty in Fatal Shooting of Mentally Ill Woman
February 15, 2018 • by Staff Writer
A New York Police Department sergeant has been found not guilty in the fatal shooting of a bat-wielding mentally ill woman, a judge ruled Thursday morning.
Bronx Supreme Court Justice Robert Neary said he found Sgt. Hugh Barry not guilty of all charges — including murder — in the Oct. 2016 shooting of 66-year-old Deborah Danner, reports the New York Post.
Photo: NYPD/Facebook
"Clearly this case involved a terrible tragedy and emotions on both sites are elevated," Neary said, before declaring that Barry was found not guilty of second-degree murder, first and second degree manslaughter, and criminally negligent homicide.
Barry testified during the two-week proceeding that he shot the schizophrenic woman twice because he feared for his life.
"I just see the bat swinging, and that's when I fired,'' the 32-year-old said from the stand Tuesday. "I'm looking at this bat that can crack me in the head and kill me."
Defense lawyer Andrew Quinn argued Wednesday that Barry was imminently threatened when Danner took a step in his direction holding the bat.
A nine-year veteran of the 43rd Precinct, Barry could have faced up to life in prison if he had been convicted on the murder charge.
"There is no victory here today," Patrolmen's Benevolent Association President Patrick J. Lynch said in a statement, "only relief that justice has been served and a good man who was doing a difficult and dangerous job has been exonerated."

Women students from different halls of Dhaka University (DU) organised a protest rally and a human chain yesterday (Thursday) morning in the wake of the agitation held at female dorms last night, demanding a safe campus for the university's students. Waving banners reading "We want safe campus", they marched through the campus yesterday morning, chanting slogans against the imprisonment of university students and seeking their unconditional release.
Again, another group demonstrated at the base of Raju Sculpture, holding the banner of 'General Students', and demanded an end to unrest on campus. They said they wanted no agitation. Students claimed this group is being led by the ruling party's students' front, the Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), activists of which attacked DU students earlier this week and beat them up.
Students of DU's Sociology department yesterday sought the immediate and unconditional release of Moshiur Rahman, a departmental student allegedly picked up by BCL activists on June 30. Later, he was discovered in Keraniganj police station.
In another incident, Mariam Mannan Farah, first year Honours student of the Political Science department at Tejgaon College, who had participated in the ongoing quota reform movement, shared her ordeal at a press briefing in front of DU's Rokeya Hall yesterday. She narrated physical assault, verbal abuse and mental torture, allegedly by activists agitating against the quota reform movement as well as policemen.
her while she was in an auto-rickshaw near the Shaheed Minar. "They used abusive words against me. They even entered the auto-rickshaw and touched me. Afterwards, they took me to Shahbagh police station. I thought I would be safe there, but it was no different. Just after I reached there, the police brought out a knife from my bag. They called me a prostitute and tried to make me confess to being an addict," she said. She, however, said she did not know whether the boys belonged to the BCL.
In Rajshahi, the authorities of Rajshahi Medical Hospital released Tariqul Islam around 4pm yesterday so that he can "undergo better treatment" at a private medical college there. A relative of Tariqul confirmed this to The Independent.
Tarikul Islam Tarek, an RU student and a leader of the quota reform movement, was earlier admitted to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital with serious injuries. In photos and footage in the media, BCL activist Abdullah Al Mamun was seen pounding his back and legs with a hammer.
A section of the RU teachers condemned his release, terming it "inhuman" and "a shame for Bangladesh". The hospital authorities forced him to leave the hospital instead of giving him proper treatment there, they alleged at a press conference at 5.30pm at the Rabindra Arts faculty.
The constables deployed for Tariqul—Nazmul and Habilder Hasinur—declined to talk to the media, merely saying there was pressure from the higher authorities. Shahadat Hossain, officer-in-charge of Motihar police station said, "Tariqul is free from police custody." However, he denied pressure on the deployed policemen.
University proctor Prof. Dr Luthfor Rahman said, "We are investigating the matter." Fourteen teachers from different RU departments said at the press conference that the government is supposed to find a solution to the anarchic situation in the employment sector, dubbing the arrest and harassment of teachers and guardians "heinous".

Chipmaker Atmel explores strategic options, including possible sale – reports
US chipmaker Atmel is reportedly exploring a number of strategic options, including a possible sale, as larger semiconductor players look to ramp up their IoT offerings.
Reuters reports the company is working with an investment bank on a sale process, although there is no guarantees it will pursue the option.
Companies similar to Atmel have proved attractive acquisition targets to larger players in the sector looking to enhance their capabilities around IoT, to allow devices, cars and watches to interact.
Atmel manufactures processors and other hardware targeting the 'wearables' space, including smart watches and fitness bands, and has a market capitalisation of approximately $4 billion.
The speculation around Atmel follows recent large scale deals across the semiconductor industry, including Avago Technologies deal to acquire Broadcom for $37 billion, and Intel's $17 billion deal to acquire Altera.
It is thought Atmel may also attract interest from larger semiconductor companies that want to sell analogue components, including sensors or power management capabilities.
The company first began to explore options after its long-term CEO Steve Laub said he would retire at the end of August, and its shares rose by 7.2 per cent amidst rumours of a possible sale.
According to Reuters data, deals in semiconductor M&A has reached approximately $80 billion since the start of the year.

Oil Now Surrounds World Heritage Site, Inaccessible Island. Thousands of Endangered Penguins, Seabirds at Risk

Inaccessible Island, a World Heritage Site
ABOARD PRINCE ALBERT II: I spoke today with Katrine Herrion, a project officer of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) stationed at Tristan da Cunha.
Katrine was camped on Inaccessible Island last weekend and reports that as of Sunday, oil completely surrounded the island. She and her team observed nearly 100 oiled penguins just before they departed. Clearly many more are being impacted.
Trevor Glass, Director of the Tristan da Cunha Department of Conservation was planning to return to Tristan da Cunha from Nightingale Island with around 750 penguins for rehabilitation. This represents a small percentage of the number of birds estimated to be impacted at this point, conservatively estimated at more than 10,000.
Because penguins cannot fly, it is impossible for them to avoid the oil when entering and exiting the water. Oil impacts the waterproof properties of their feathers and makes them vulnerable to hypothermia by reducing their feather's insulation abilities. Oil can seriously impact the birds' eyes and other tissues and can poison them if they ingest the oil while attempting to clean their feathers. A number of oiled seals have also been observed on Nightingale Island. Read more

March 21, 2011: The Prince Albert II finds itself in the middle of a rescue mission as its expedition team comes to the rescue of a cargo ship that has run aground at one of the most remote islands in the world, Nightingale Island, part of the Tristan da Cunha island group, an area that is home to the second largest population of seabirds in the world, including half of the world's endangered Northern Rockhopper penguin population. When the ship breaks up and begins spilling its 300,000 gallons of heavy marine oil, it becomes clear that this may rank as one of the most serious environmental disasters of its kind.

Pennybridge needs a major overhaul - Frew
The deteriorating roads and footpaths in Ballymena's Pennbybridge Industrial Estate have become an embarrassment says North Antrim MLA Paul Frew.
Thursday, 9th June 2016, 10:43 am
Updated Friday, 10th June 2016, 11:27 am
The DUP representative was speaking after meeting with business people who trade from the estate which dates back to the early 1970s.
Over the years, Pennybridge has developed into one of the largest dedicated industrial and commercial areas in Northern Ireland and is vitally important to the economy of Ballymena and district.
Mr. Frew said he had been troubled to hear that business people were depairing over the estate's enivironment.
He explained: "Ballymena is in transition and we are in the throes of losing two major employers in the town.
"Yet government agencies have allowed our major industrial estate to fall into disrepair. Business people tell me it is embarrassing when they bring company representatives from other countries over to view their premises in order to secure contracts.
"The whole area needs to be brought up to an acceptable standard. Pennybridge has a high occupancy rate we need to ensure that continues. We need roads resurfaced and footpaths cleaned. Some buildings are looking very shabby - even some that are owned by Government agencies.
"What incentive is there for private business to improve their buildings when they have been slapped with a large increase in rates but the government building next door is rusting and rotting away? Some businesses have invested lately in their buildings and the land around them and where there are derelict sites or buildings they should be covered up somehow.
"A lot of investment is going into the town centre - that brings it's own pressure but we cannot ignore the plight of our other important and strategic sites because future employment depends on it."
