This post is directed mostly at my Christian brothers and sisters, but much of it holds true for anyone willing to accept it.
One things is a near certainty on Wednesday, November 9. In our seriously divided country, approximately half of the people will see their candidate headed for the White House and half the people will see their candidate giving a concession speech.
Whether your candidate wins or loses, the people to whom you will be talking are still God's dearly beloved. As such, the way we you like to be treated is the best gauge for how you treat them.
Do you like it when people gloat over you? Then don't be a gloating winner. Do you enjoy people being sore and bitter losers? Then don't be one.
We are all still citizens of one country. After this election season, we still have to live together. Following the "Golden Rule" is one of the best ways to live together in peace.
If your candidate does not win, it is not an irredeemable calamity. All governmental structures and elections are temporary. Nations are temporary. Life, itself, is temporary. God is still at work in this world and in your life.
So do not give in to moping, depression or anxiety. Our lives, our souls and our God are all much bigger than this election.
The job of the Christian will not have changed regardless of who becomes president. Further, the circumstances of our Christian work are going to continue to change even if your preferred candidate gets to sit in the oval office for the next four years.
How will you live out your Christian faith if Hillary Clinton is elected? How will you live out your Christian faith if Donald Trump is elected? How will you live out your Christian faith if nobody gets 270 electoral college votes and the House of Representatives chooses Jill Stein or Gary Johnson to serve as president?
Regardless of who wins the election, our earthly assignment continues. We continue to love God and love others so that by any means we might win people over to following Jesus.
So, my friends, rest in peace. If this was helpful, share it.


Will Chlorophyll Capsules Make Underarms Smell Sweet?
A reader has found that taking supplemental chlorophyll eliminates underarm and other body odor.
In the ongoing search for ways to control body odor, people have invented some creative solutions. One of the most unusual is swallowing supplemental chlorophyll every day. Is this a good idea?
Q. I stopped using any kind of underarm deodorant or antiperspirant almost 20 years ago. Instead I started taking Chlorella, which I've heard has the highest proportion of chlorophyll of any food.
Chlorophyll has many properties, and I've found that, over time, it completely eliminates the need for underarm deodorant. I have zero body odor, even if I go a couple of days without a shower.
It's a great way to get a nutrition-rich food and avoid putting chemicals on my skin every day. I just put approximately a quarter teaspoon of Chlorella powder in water every morning, drink it down and I'm good to go. This green algae did the trick for me.
A. There hasn't been much research on whether consuming chlorophyll reduces body odor. The scientific articles we were able to locate dated back to the 1950s. Perhaps others can share their own experience with this natural supplement.
We need to issue just one note of caution. Certain individuals may develop an unpleasant skin condition called "pseudoporphyria" if they consume too much chlorophyll (Rossi et al, Australasian Journal of Dermatology, Feb. 2015). Just eating green vegetables won't trigger this nasty rash, but supplements might.
Chlorophyl is what they use in salt blocks on ranches (I grew up on a ranch in Texas), and used it on cattle to keep them from smelling so the flies would not land on them.
As kids we would break off a bit of it and chew on it. Years later when I had a funny under arm odor I called my mother and said, "Mom what do I do?". She said find chlorophyll, remember that makes you stop smelling. I have recommended that to people who have bad breath as well. I have not used underarm deodorant for over 40 years. You can buy it in capsules, liquid or powder form.
I use organic lemon juice from a bottle which I keep in the fridge. It works amazingly well. After antiperspirant made me smell terrible, I tried MOM, but it wasn't very effective. Then I tried apple cider vinegar, and it was better for a while. I assume the bacteria changes with each new substance. Lemon juice is the most consistently effective. I even use it after shaving without discomfort.
When I was a teenager and my brother was a few years younger he had a terrible body odor and my mother discovered chlorophyll tablets which she started giving to him and it stopped the odor altogether.
I also use chlorella supplements for body odour as have my teenagers – we have found it very effective.
I remember when I was a kid, back in the 1950's, there was a brief fad for canned dog food with chlorophyll (no kidding!). Supposedly it helped prevent "doggie breath." We didn't notice any difference, and this seems to be now forgotten. And you could get chlorophyll toothpaste, too (for humans, not dogs).


As a friend of Paula's, I can say that this little Angel will be extremely loved and spoiled by many friends and family. I know they prayed hard for her, I know they waited patiently for her and are now over the moon to have her and see her beautiful face.
Be on the lookout for photos of her gorgeous little face, I cannot wait to meet her, congratulations again for your huge blessing! We snapped some maternity photos at her baby shower at Long Creek Farms. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did taking them!


A big part of what makes me "me" is my curiosity. I believe in life-long learning. It's what drew me to library school, the idea that I would have the knowledge to pursue *any* crazy curiosity I could come up with if I could find the information, and if a librarian couldn't find the information then… it may not have been documented yet. My latest experiment with curiosity has been Phix's Curiosity Camp. Phix is the way the Greek Sphinx would have been pronounced in the local dialect. I'm still experimenting with what Phix might become. Right now it's a venue for me to post and reflect a little about things that catch my curiosity, primarily on Facebook, a little on twitter, and maybe a few other places.
My background in movement includes dance, yoga, and dabbling across other movement modalities as I have the opportunity to explore them. I am endlessly fascinated by how the human body moves through space and aiding people in moving efficiently, comfortably, and functionally through their day.
the recognition that our brain is not just located in our skulls and our chattering Cartesian monkey mind.
To borrow Carl Sagan's words, "We are the local embodiment of a Cosmos grown to self-awareness." It is a profound experience to take time to explore our understanding of ourselves and our world through movement.
Movement is more than "just" exercise, there is joy in a good run or walk. There is a delicious quality to swimming. My hope is that people experience moving as something that feeds them and feels good (even if it sometimes feels good because you get to stop finally). One of the things I love about the GYROKINESIS® method in particular, that led me to take teacher training, is that the exercises can be modified to fit anyone's ability. The Gyrokinesis exercises can be practiced by people from all walks of life, including accomplished athletes and dancers, college students, baby boomers, senior citizens, and people with disabilities.
This method gently works the entire body, increasing range of motion and creating functional strength. It is an original and unique movement practice which has roots in Yoga, Tai Chi, swimming, gymnastics, and dance and is practiced with a mat and chair, on the floor, and standing. The GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® methods fall under the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®. Both methods were developed by Juliu Horvath, who suffered a series of debilitating injuries during his dance career, and began developing these methods as a way to heal himself and regain his strength and agility.
I am not teaching at this time, but let me know & I can try to help find an instructor if you're interested.
Presently I'm not teaching group classes.

Review: First Bite by Dani Harper
Title: First Bite
Author: Dani Harper
Series: Dark Wolf, Book 1
Genre: Paranormal Romance / Urban Fantasy
Release Date: 15 October 2013
Geneva "Neva" Ross doesn't want to die. But now that she's been turned into a werewolf against her will, she'll do anything to protect her family and friends...even if that means taking her own life.
After witnessing Neva's leap from a high ledge, Travis Williamson — a Changeling with a dark past — uses his powers to save her life. He feels a connection to the strong-willed woman whose eyes flash that familiar Changeling green. While Neva is hospitalized, Travis risks everything to kidnap her, knowing the approaching full moon will put everyone in jeopardy.
Bickering constantly to hide their growing attraction, Travis and Neva run from the authorities...and from Neva's sinister sire, Meredith de la Ronde. Meredith delights in creating new shape-shifters and compelling them to do her dark bidding; now Neva must join Meredith's murderous wolf pack...or die.
This is my first experience with Dani Harper's work, and I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Typically books that are marketed as 'humorous' don't work for me, but I keep trying them hoping that one of them is going to hit the nail on the head. Lucky for me, the humour in First Bite was perfectly balanced and despite a few rough patches, and first-book-syndrome issues, I had a great time reading this book!
Neva, our heroine, is a strong-willed character, she's compassionate and has a strong sense of right and wrong - sometimes to the point of being stubborn. I immensely liked her, simply put. She didn't have any qualms about doing what needed to be done, and went about them smartly, with planning. Also, she didn't just lose all will when Travis showed up; didn't suddenly become helpless and rely on him for everything. I loved that.
Travis, despite his small bit of tortured-backstory, is probably one of the more well-rounded male leads in paranormal these days. That backstory does come back to beat him over the heart more than a few times in the book, but it's not a constant barrage of abuse he heaps on himself. Perhaps he's trying to atone for that history, but he's incredibly kind and simply dogged (pun not intended). Often, when Neva didn't want to trust him, he'd simply follow her until she was too exhausted to do anything but let him help. I liked how he was low-key about solving things, rarely pushy or demanding, but smart and patient.
There's a lot going on in this world. Though Changelings seem to be the only supernatural creature, magic does exist and it plays a large role. It seems nearly anything can be done with magic, and our villain does each one of those things. Meredith is a bit over-the-top, to the point of madly cackling with glee over our heroes misfortune and mistakes. I do think she's meant to be portrayed this way so it didn't bother me too much, but she could have as easily fallen into caricature.
I have to talk about the humour. I said earlier that it doesn't normally work for me in novels - it feels too forced or something. I hate the humor in the Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jones. I was bored and rolling my eyes at the humor in Molly Harper's books about being naked with werewolves. Here, however, was refreshingly different. It felt more subtle, more natural to the characters, less imposed on them. There wasn't a laugh every page, but I found myself grinning, chuckling and even re-reading certain things that made me laugh. It was what kept me reading during the slower beginning.
The pacing issues are my main issue I had while going through this book. It seemed like there were too many wayward plot threads, too much going on. There were some threads that didn't really seem to come together until about two-thirds of the way into the book - and then I was invested in all of them and could not put it down! But until then, I was a little bored with some of the side threads and a lot of the story seemed to have pacing issues. Of course this could be simply because I wanted more Neva and Travis, whom I really enjoyed.
I believe that the next book, Ties That Bind (due July 2014), is going to continue telling Neva and Travis' story so I think the multiple storylines now makes more sense. And with some of the decisions made at the end, I'm definitely looking forward to reading more in the series.

The defendant denied having had anything to drink, but when the officer asked if he would agree to take a field sobriety test, the defendant stated, "just arrest me," explaining that they were not fair. The officer had the defendant perform the test, and at the conclusion of the tests the officer placed the defendant under arrest for DUI. The officer administered a blood-alcohol test on the defendant, and it indicated that he had alcohol in his system.
In a pre-trial motion to suppress, the defendant asked the court to suppress the evidence obtained by the police during the traffic stop based on the fact that the police officer did not have a sufficient reason to initiate the traffic stop. The court agreed, explaining that a police officer must have probable cause to believe that a motorist committed a traffic violation in order to pull that motorist over. Here, the court explained that the defendant's act of quickly accelerating did not result in probable cause to stop him for a traffic violation. The court explained that the officer had no basis for concluding that the defendant was speeding, or that he put any pedestrian in danger.

Should Authors Go Exclusive With Amazon in 2017?
March 5, 2017 March 5, 2017 Rachel Rueben
Image via Wikimedia Commons
Several years ago, Amazon's KDP introduced their Select program which allowed authors who published through them to give away books for free on their site if they signed a 90 day exclusivity agreement. Thinking 90 days wasn't much of a commitment, many authors agreed to it. Fast forward to 2017, where Amazon is selling over 30 million books and nearly one million of those books are free on any given day flooding the market. The numbers alone have authors questioning whether going exclusive with Amazon is even worth it anymore?
Your Goals Matter
No matter what the latest marketing tricks are at the moment they mean very little if you haven't a clear definition of where you want to go. It's vital that you ask yourself before you sign any long term contract, why am I doing this? Do I wish to…
Get more reviews
Build up an email list
Sign with a traditional publisher and go hybrid
Become an influencer in a chosen field
Build a publishing company
Republish a back catalog of work
Build a career as an author
As you can see there are a myriad of reasons why people self-publish and many of them don't require you signing an exclusivity contract. For example, if you want to sign with a traditional publisher then it might not be wise to lock your work up for any period of time. If interested, a publisher may insist you take down the book and you can't do that if you're only 10 days into your 90 day exclusivity agreement.
Why Ask For An Exclusive?
It's not uncommon for retailers like Amazon, to ask for exclusives, most retailers do. It gives them the competitive edge because they offer something their competition doesn't. However the manufacturer or vendor (in this case you), usually gets something in return like favorable product placement in exchange for the temporary inconvenience and loss of profit. Yet with Amazon, there is no such negotiation and instead of favorable product placement, books that are put into the Select program are put on a special list away from the paid books when they go free. This is the reverse of favorable product placement since the paid books are the default page that shoppers are sent to. It's great for Amazon, who gets exclusive content but bad for indie authors who get relegated to a nebulous tab.
The Psychology Behind it
Lots of authors believe that exclusives are done because retailers and publishers are greedy and though that's debatable, retailers actually do it because it works. It's been proven that products which are available on a limited basis create a scarcity mentality in the minds of shoppers. It triggers the buy impulse when customers believe this opportunity may never come by again. Exclusives also make customers feel a sense of appreciation because the retailer is offering them this valuable product making them feel part of a privileged group.
Yeah, But Why Free?
In retail the competition is fierce, these days customers are much savvier and do their research before making purchases. If they find a product at an online retailer at a cheaper price, that's called showrooming and it forces brick and mortar stores to match that price or even beat it. This is how Amazon kills the competition after all, what's cheaper than free? Even other book retailers like Barnes & Noble can't compete with this and have begun positioning their business away from books.
Exclusivity Vs Expanded Distribution
Believe it or not, many startup companies claim exclusivity as the secret ingredient to their success. However, it's not the only ingredient, exclusivity should be part of a deeper marketing strategy. Authors should be leveraging this exclusive period to collect reviews or email addresses for their lists. Don't just sit on your duff during this period, there is still work to do —plan the next move. Ultimately that should mean branching out to other retailers like Kobo, Apple and Barnes & Noble.
Authors Remaining Exclusive: A Thought
There are experts who used to advise indie authors to remain in the KDP Select program permanently. They proposed that indies use one book as a loss leader and forgo immediate profits for long term ones. They suggest that authors use their free book to collect email addresses and sell the next book. However this may not be a good idea today because several indie authors now report their downloads dropping after the second or third time around in Select. So going exclusive with Amazon will work but only for so long. Today, we have no choice but to make our books available everywhere you possibly can because the old tricks don't work anymore. Another thing we indie authors have to consider is the inevitable fact that sometime in the future another company will knock Amazon off its perch and wouldn't it be nice if all our eggs weren't in one basket?

burlap bird banner for a baby shower that I am attending this coming weekend.
My friend asked me if I could whip up a few cute crafts.
I had a few in my mind and also had all supplies on hand.
also had some key embellishments.
I then hot glued the burlap squares to the twine.
Thanks for popping over today to see what I have been up to today!
This was a very simple diy burlap bird banner for a baby shower.
In fact, why not even a wedding?
This is so adorable. I bet they will love this at the baby shower.
How darling Debbie!!! I love this!!!!
I'm saving this idea for a shower. How cute and personal.
Aww…this is sooo cute! Love love love!
So cute! Wish I knew someone having a baby!
Those are cute. Love the little beads.
How adorable. I hope the mommy-to-be gets to take your sweet banner home and hang it in the baby's room! You are one creative gal!!!!
sweetest bunting ever! Love the beads.
Sooo cute. You are very creative.
This is so cute, Debbie ~ it would look adorable in a nursery.
Oh they are going to love your banner….perfect for a baby shower!!!!…So pretty Debbie!
I really love the combination of the brown/rustic-ish burlap with the blue. It's a favorite color combo anyway, but for a baby, it's especially nice because it has that country/modern feel that those young moms love.
I really do like the sharpe projects, btw. Cheap, easy, and cute.
Adorable, great idea to use a sharpie and paint! Thanks, saving this idea!

Jascha Heifetz – violin
Chicago Symphony Orchestra (1-3)
Boston Symphony Orchestra (4-6)
RCA Victor Symphony Orchestra (7-10)
Walter Hendl – conductor (1-3, 7-10)
Charles Munch – conductor (4-6)
This Heifetz recording of this Prokofiev concerto is one of the finest performances and recordings of anything ever done, and in this splendid new digital reincarnation critical sonic details come through with added clarity, e.g., the pp bass drum notes. Heifetz and Munch attain the Haydnesque almost robot-like andante assai accompaniment in the slow movement contrasting vividly with the melting sweetness of the violin line. Most importantly, in all of these re-mastered Heifetz recordings the violin tone is greatly enriched to the benefit of Heifetz's reputation. Surprisingly, for an artist who recorded as much as he did, microphones were not kind to Heifetz's tone. On many commercially released recordings, Heifetz sounds astringent, gritty, sour, even false; but here we hear what he really sounded like and the real beauty and complexity of his tone is made clear on recording at last for those of us who could never hear him play live up close.
Rozhdestvensky and Perlman do a beautiful job with this work also, warmer, sweeter, more rhapsodic, a smoother surface throughout. Timings on the first and second movement are 12% longer. Some will like the performance better although the recording quality, while excellent for CD, cannot compare with the SACD.
In the Sibelius Concerto Heifetz is competing with himself; his 1935 recording with Beecham remains a monument, a standard not yet surpassed; however, that primitive recording distorts the overall orchestral sound as well as leaving many details inaudible. Real connoisseurs will need both recordings to truly appreciate Heifetz' accomplishment. Wisely not attempting to better Heifetz, other violinists move in other directions. Mutter and Previn give us hair-tearing, tear-jerking, foot-stomping gypsy passion. Eidus goes them even one further; his first two movements are gut-wrenching, heart-rending, but he actually can't manage the rapid leaps and double-stops in the finale. Kavakos gives us the "original" 1903 version, as much like the familiar 1905 version as Mussorgsky's original Boris is like the Rimsky-Korsakov version. When you think you've heard everything in this concerto, then listen to the earlier version, hear Sibelius' creative mind in action, and thus deepen your understanding of the artistic decisions he eventually made in comparison with his original inspirations. Kraggerud and Engeset give a very capable, very individual reading on a surround sound DVD-Audio. Another worthy version I have enjoyed is by Tossy Spivakovsky and Tauno Hannikainen on Everest, and classic account by Julian Sitkovetsky (father of Dimitri) also deserves mention.
In the notes to the Perlman recording, the annotator says that the Violin Concerto is "... generally regarded as Glazunov's most brilliant and effective composition." That may have been a true statement in 1989, however no one who has heard a good recording of the Fifth Symphony (Polyansky, or Fedoseyev) or the First Symphony (Järvi) could possibly agree with it. It is interesting that some passages clearly inspired Prokofiev in his Second Violin Concerto. Although sensationally popular in Russia, Glazunov is only now becoming known in the West. The Violin Concerto has been familiar for a long time, but we have many treasures yet to discover, and when that has occurred, the Violin Concerto will probably move down a few notches in the list.
In the Glazunov Concerto the "RCA Victor Symphony Orchestra" would likely be either the 20th Century Fox or MGM Studio orchestra, or maybe members of both, first-rate musician friends of Heifetz's, come just down the street from the studios to the hall. In spite of the exceptional recording quality, Heifetz' emotionality here leaves me relatively unaffected; it seems artificial, calculated; but, be that as it may, Heifetz' performance of the cadenza is a stunning musical achievement you won't want to miss hearing. Perlman gives us authentic emotion and drama. Fischer, on a Pentatone surround sound SACD, gives us a clear, straightforward but sensitive reading without sentimentality and makes the dramatic structure of the work more evident. Overall, I prefer both Perlman and Fischer to Heifetz in this concerto.
However, the recording of the accompaniments in all cases is clearly superior on the RCA to the others, even to the newer surround sound recordings. You will hear new details in the orchestral parts. With these rich detailed recordings it is easy enough to generate convincing rear channel information from a quality surround sound processor. --- Paul Shoemaker, musicweb-international.com

Beniger's (1987) overview of the theoretical perspectives that characterised mass communication research from the Thirties by the 1980s illustrates the prominence of theoretical approaches (starting from uses and gratifications to audience decoding to framing) that stretch effectively past notions of 1-to-many dissemination of messages, simultaneously received, and equally interpreted, by large, heterogeneous and largely passive audiences, that came to (mis)characterize the field in many circles. Thus, it will appear that mass communication has at all times prolonged past the restrictions inherent in the mass society paradigm.

Silicon Valley - Season 1
Let's be honest: it took Silicon Valley a few episodes to find its footing. No matter how much acclaim the show was greeted with at the onset, no matter the bona fides that Mike Judge brings to the show, I'd be lying if I didn't say that I spent the first couple of episodes wondering if the show was worth sticking with. Sure, the idea of Mike Judge returning to the tech world that he spoofed so well in Office Space sounded like a great idea, but in the early going, Silicon Valley felt a bit weak. But as the show went on and the characters started to come to life, things got better and better. Kumail Nanijani and Martin Starr's rapport and banter started to get funnier and funnier as they stopped being just "the Indian" and "the weird guy" and became something richer. Thomas Middleditch started to be more than just a bundle of tics as Richard, our ostensible lead, found a bit more personality and started to drive the show a little more. And TJ Miller, funny from the onset, started to stand out less and integrate better into the show as a whole. Silicon Valley still isn't flawless; the characters need a little more time to come to life, and the show's plotting sometimes feels a bit forced in. And, like many others, I'm curious to see how the show copes with the loss of the late Christopher Evan Welch, who stole almost every scene he was in. But by the end of the season, I was laughing more and more often and enjoying the show more with each successive episode as it found a voice beyond simply "tech stuff is funny". I'll definitely be back for season 2, and I'm eager to see if the show can keep up the upward trend it's on right now.

Bitcoin Mining Isn't As Energy-Consumptive As Researchers Claim
Earlier this week, a study published by Dutch researcher Alex de Vries concluded that Bitcoin mining uses almost as much electricity as the entire Republic of Ireland — but should we really be concerned?
'Picked out of Thin Air'
Bitcoin mining is undoubtedly an energy-intensive process, as anyone who's ever mined the most valuable cryptocurrency by market capitalization from home knows — but it might not be as concerning as many experts would lead you to believe.
Jonathan Koomey, a Standford lecturer who correctly illustrated how concerns over the early internet's energy usage were dramatically unfounded, thinks researchers like de Vries are getting it wrong. Koomey told NBC News:
For two decades, people have been eager to overestimate electricity use by computing. My concern is that we simply don't have adequate data to come to the strong conclusions that he's coming to.
De Vries' conclusions in question estimate that the Bitcoin network consumes "at least 2.55 gigawatts of electricity currently, and potentially 7.67 gigawatts in the future." Furthermore, the researcher claims:
Economic models tell us that Bitcoin's electricity consumption will gravitate toward the latter number. A look at Bitcoin miner production estimates suggests that this number could already be reached in 2018.
However, according to experts such as Koomey, de Vries' and others' underlying assumptions are problematic — particularly in regards to the manner in which they calculate the value of energy and the price paid for said energy. Explained Koomey:
The worry is that those are two numbers that are picked out of the air. There may be some basis for them, but it's a very unreliable way to do these kinds of calculations, and nobody who does this for a living would do it like that. It's odd that someone would.
Bitcoin mining is a notoriously private enterprise, with a lot of current and future mining operations taking place in remote areas. As such, it's not exactly cut and dry how much miners pay for energy, especially considering many operations are set up specifically to reduce said costs — such as mining in caves, energy-rich areas, or low-cost countries.
De Vries research also neglects to consider how miners often use special mining equipment crafted specifically to maximize efficiency. Christian Catalini, an assistant professor at MIT's Sloan School of Management who researches cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, told NBC News:
The only people with good data on this are the miners, so you do need that data to understand the electricity consumption. The main challenge is that this gear is scattered across the globe and faces different prices.
Koomey added:
The equipment they're using is customized to their use. This is not the standard servers that are being sold. These are machines that are assembled using other components. That makes it more difficult. It's a custom design and those kind of servers are not tracked as well.
We should try to get the numbers right […]
So, what are the correct numbers? According to Jan Čapek, CEO and co-founder of Braiins Systems and operator of massive Bitcoin mining pool Slush Pool, his company uses a lot less energy than critics imply — and turns a pretty penny in the process.
Notes Čapek, the total cost, at current difficulty, to mine one bitcoin comes to less than $ 1937 using recent HW @ 5c/kWh, which is far less energy consumed than most naysayers would like you to believe.
Let's have some numbers for todays panel in NYC. I have updated the "1 BTC mining cost estimates and total network power gists" with current difficulty. It comes to less than USD 1937 for 1 BTC using some recent HW @ 5c/kWh https://t.co/ykBj4wNPgq
— Jan Čapek (@janbraiins) May 18, 2018
It's worth noting that even de Vries himself admits the flaws in his research's design. The researcher stated:
We've seen a lot of back-of-the-envelope calculations, but we need more scientific discussion on where this network is headed. Right now, the information available is pretty poor quality overall, so I'm hoping that people will use this paper as a foundation for more research.
Do you think the energy costs associated with global Bitcoin mining are overblown? Be sure to let us know in the comments below!

Q: TabControl to take the size of one of its items I have a TabControl that has four tabs:
<TabControl>
    <TabItem><TextBox/></TabItem>
    <TabItem><UserControl/></TabItem>
    <TabItem><Label/></TabItem>
    <TabItem><Image/></TabItem>
</TabControl>

each of the items are standard WPF controls but the second one, which is a custom UserControl, can have an arbitrary size.
Textbox binds to some property but can be empty or can have a long text. Same with Label.
The Image instead has always the biggest size.
The TabControl is defined in a Window that changes size depending on the size of the tab.
Currently the behaviour is such that every time I switch from one tab to the following, the window changes size.
I am puzzled on which is the best way to obtain the following:

*

*The TabControl sets its size according to the UserControl size

*The TextBox will fit in the TabItem panel but if it desired size is bigger than the second panel's size then it will show the vertical scroll bar

*Once the form is loaded and the tab displayed, changing from one tab to the next will not resize the Window.

Any ideas on how this can be achieved without having to write custom controls?

A: You should be able to achieve this using a couple ElementName bindings and a ScrollViewer:
<TabControl Name="tabControl" Height="{Binding ElementName=userControl, Path=Height}">
    <TabItem Header="ONE">
        <ScrollViewer Height="{Binding ElementName=tabControl,Path=Height}">
            <TextBox Height="400" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
        </ScrollViewer>
     </TabItem>
     <TabItem Header="TWO"><UserControl Name="userControl" Height="200" Width="400" /></TabItem>
     <TabItem Header="THREE"><Label/></TabItem>
     <TabItem Header="FOUR"><Image/></TabItem>
</TabControl>

Croatian Scientists Portal is a project of National and University Library under auspices of the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports of the Republic of Croatia and in cooperation with the University of Zagreb. In the project participate Ministry of Science, Education and Sports, Croatian Heritage Foundation, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia.
Croatian scientific diaspora is large but unfortunately, so far never systematically monitored and without an overall insight into this enormous and for Croatia certainly, a very significant potential.
The project was initiated over a decade ago but only now gained the attention which it deserves. Croatian scientists, that is, scientists of Croatian origin, are eminent members of numerous academic communities all over the world. Many of them have achieved remarkable results and gained outstanding recognition and are prepared to share their knowledge and expertise. Some of them have been for years in individual contacts with scientists in Croatia while contacts on institutional level are rather scarce, although and despite the fact that in some countries there are societies of former students (Almae Matris). However, most of them are members of universities and institutions all over the world. Therefore, only systematic collection of data about each and every scientist, regardless of the way and means of getting information, whether through scientific literature, diplomatic offices, various societies, individual contacts and other forms of acquiring information, may create a solid foundation for a network of Croatian scientists from mother country and abroad.
Internet is a means of connecting the world on the whole. Scientific cooperation was always based on communication between national scientific and research environments and the development of communication potentials today enables this communication more than ever before. But, huge number of data, its distribution, various formats for their storage and its datedness, make their search and use more difficult. Also, it is very difficult to present interdisciplinary projects. The need for more transparent data display requires adequate organization of data in order to be user friendly.
Therefore, initiating this project is of strategic importance for national interest because it relates to scientists as the most representative part of society and their activities should be systematically built into scientific, economic, cultural, communication and other activities in our society.
In the same way the project is important for the National and University Library and its dual function. From the national function point, it is important and essential for the Library in developing its national collection Croatica, while through its university function, the Library acts as a mediator in communication of scientific and research environments and their correlation to the world as a whole.
By its structure, Portal integrates human, communication, computer and information resources. In doing so, it was necessary, on one side, to make an effort to prevent the abuse of data on Croatian Scientists Portal and, on the other, to find the best way of promoting its appropriate use.
- to provide information by multi-language data display (Croatian and English).
Project is designed as a long-term engagement, and its full operationalization is expected in the period of three years.
The data and information structure has been taken without intervention of the portal authors.

Queen Elizabeth II: Monarch in orange for Queen's Baton Relay – 'looks good in orange'
Queen Elizabeth II wore an orange coat to celebrate the Queen's Baton Relay on Thursday with Prince Edward. The Queen's Baton Relay is for the 2022 Commonwealth Games, due to take place in Birmingham next summer. The Queen also wore a matching hat with beautiful orange and white floral detailing.
She appeared to be wearing a circular brooch in the shape of a flower, along with some pearl necklaces and pearl earrings.
Twitter user Aine McCarthy wrote: "Enjoying the orange Your Majesty!"
Another royal fan, Chris Harrison, agreed, saying: "The Queen looks good in orange."
The Twitter account @Annie_bear1872 added: "Wearing Orange and looking staunch… God save our glorious Queen."

Her Majesty also appeared to be wearing black gloves and her signature Launer London handbag, which costs around £1,550.
Prince Edward looked very dapper in a navy blue suit and matching blue tie, as he walked behind his mother for the Queen's Baton Relay.
The Queen wore this orange dress-coat outfit a few years ago when visiting the Royal Academy of Arts in London in March 2018.
More often seen in delicate pastel shades, the Queen brightened up the October weather today with her chosen ensemble.
The vibrant coat dress and matching statement hat was embellished with orange and white blooms.
The Queen stole the show with this elegant bold orange coat and matching hat, accessorising with the Nizam of Hyderabad Rose brooch.
Her Majesty also wore her favourite pair of elegant Gucci loafers, which cost £540.
The Queen spent two months at her Scottish estate Balmoral during the summer and returned to Windsor Castle last weekend.
The presence of Prince Edward at the Queen's side today is particularly poignant in the wake of Prince Philip's death.
The late Duke of Edinburgh was appointed President of the Commonwealth Games Federation in 1955.
As President, he opened the games six times.
Prince Edward has already taken over the Duke of Edinburgh Awards, which was launched by Prince Philip in the 1950s.
The Queen included a personal message inside the baton, to be passed on across the several nations participating in the tournament.

Are you ready for the Tour de France?
13 June 2009 by Claudine Hemingway 366
By Claudine Hemingway
It is less than a month away, to that great holiday that is known as the Tour de France. Well maybe it is just a holiday in my house. It only happens once a year and is said to be the largest and most difficult sporting event in the world. What other sporting event can you stand on the side of the road and see some of the fittest athletes' race by you so close you can touch them, and do this for free. Twenty one days of grueling and amazing stages that run all over France and then ends on the Champs Elysees. But this is much more than a bike race and watching guys ride around on their bikes and a lot of people don't really understand it, or my fascination with it. I have to admit that I first watched it years ago quite by accident. We happened to turn it on one early morning when Lance Armstrong was riding for his 5th win and I was glued to the television. And the rest is history as they say. Most of my friends and family don't really understand, they think it is pretty boring. But once they give in and watch they see that one of the best parts is watching the amazing French countryside being seen from a helicopter. From the highest peaks of the French Alps to the flat and very fast final stage running into Paris or the fields of sunflowers that are bending and stretching to the sun in the south of France there is never a dull moment and you don't want to miss a minute of it. So with my love of the Tour, cooking and all things French last year I decided to take on a little project. I decided to cook my way through the Tour de France, cooking a special meal that would coincide with each stage and the area or town that they are in. I decided this only a few weeks before the start of the Tour, after all how hard would it be to find specific specialties of each region and department of France. Well, it's not so easy and I soon found out. I wanted to be as specific and as accurate as I could be. Although Salad Nicoise or Escargot is now served all over France I wanted to get back to the basics on where these things came from and the how and the why as well. For instance Stage #1 in the 2008 Tour de France was in the Brittany region and started in the town of Brest and ended in Plumelec. Because they are so close to the Atlantic coast seafood is big there and more specifically Coquilles Saint-Jacques a la Bretonne also known as Scallops can be found all over as well as the buckwheat crepes with both savory and sweet fillings. Although it was a lot of work last year I had a great time and learned a lot and made some really great discoveries and some fantastic recipes that I have made over and over again. So for 2009 I thought I would really give myself some ample time and really do the research. At the end of October each year the route for the next Tour de France is unveiled. Each year it switches from clockwise to counter-clockwise on its route around the country and the route is a closely guarded secret until that October afternoon, but some of it starts to leak out. So on an October morning in 2008 I watched and waited for the big map to be unveiled. And then there it was in all its glory, the bright yellow map of France with the route laid out, but somehow it strangely looks like a bear standing on its hind legs, look at it and tell me you don't see it. Closer in with only a month to go the full map is revealed with the towns that all make up each of the days that fill in and all become a part of this amazing mobile event. And now the real work begins, I pour over my many, many and I mean many French cookbooks and travel guides to find out all I can on each individual starting and ending town of each stage and start to get ideas for each menu. So I hope you check back and "ride" along with me as we tour the countryside and eat our way through the amazing place that is France, but all from my kitchen in Portland, Oregon — You can read more about the 2008 Tour de French Cuisine and all my other adventures on my blog.

Sharing a blog by teacher Stephen Singer.
Allow me to introduce Stephen Singer or, rather, his writing. Regrettably, I do not know Stephen personally — one of his blogs was circulated on an educational list I'm on.
The blog is titled Why I Teach and is ostensibly about starting a school year (it first appeared last September), but it speaks volumes about what good teachers do and why they do it. I am impressed with Stephen's eloquence and his ability to capture a picture that we could all stand to see several times. It makes especially good reading in the midst of rough times for our nation and our teachers.
"Every year it's the same nightmare. I'm in front of a class of middle school students who aren't paying any attention to me. It's like I'm invisible. And then I wake up.
"Every teacher probably has a similar dream the night before they start classes. It's a dream of impotence and redundancy. Kind of like the businessmen and their political puppets claim we, teachers, are every day.
"But the reality is much different. Kids come bouncing into my room, bristling with energy, half concealed hopes and fears.
"Before they come in, I'm full of doubt: Can I still do this for another year? Will I be able to accommodate all the extra services for every special education student in my mainstreamed classroom? Do I have enough desks, pencils, paper? Have I planned enough for the first week? Will I be able to keep students interested, entertained, disciplined, engaged, working, inspired?
"But the second the kids enter the classroom — literally the exact second — all my doubts disappear. I have more than two dozen children to see to at any given moment — and their needs outweigh mine.
"It isn't until about halfway through the day that I even have an instant to myself to stop, breathe and reflect. After my first bathroom break in more than three hours, then grabbing my lunch and collapsing into a seat — the first time I'm off my feet with no anxious little faces looking up to me — I think back on my day and realize: I absolutely love this. No, really.
"My feet hurt, my temples throb from making a hundred tiny decisions every 40 minutes, my body feels like it's already been through a war. But there is no place in the world I would rather be.
"Look what I've already accomplished today! I took about 50 anxious human beings and made them feel like it was going to be okay. I made 50 faces smile, sigh and relax. I modeled how we can interact and still respect each other.
"And in return I heard: 'This is the best class!' 'I don't like to read or write but I'm really looking forward to doing your homework!' How can you hear such things and not come away energized and new? This is what I was meant to do.
"Some folks will tell you teaching is about numbers and data. Increase these test scores. Cut costs by this much. These people are fools. Teaching has nothing to do with any of that. It's about the children. Being there for them. Being an active part of eternity.

A: You could achieve that by using a custom widget as a child of the DropdownMenuItem, where the custom widget would need to be stateful so it can handle it's own state to show a check mark or something. And it should have it's own onTap method, so the DropdownMenuItem onTap won't trigger and select the option, dismissing the dropdown. You will also need to have an option to finalize the selection.
But I reccommend you to look another approach for this case for a better usability, like a dialog where you can select multiple options: Is there an equivalent widget in flutter to the "select multiple" element in HTML

A: You can use the following package
https://pub.dev/packages/multiselect
it has a dropdown based implementation instead of Dialog to show options.
PS: I needed this feature in a recent project and had to create my own widget. this is my implementation.


The two of us became friends when we were just 5 years old and we have always had a strong connection to THON. Coming from large Penn State families, we were exposed to THON's amazing mission early on in life by attending THON Weekend at the BJC with our parents, regularly donating to canners, and hosting canning trips for older siblings.
As we entered 6th grade together, we encountered our first personal experience with pediatric cancer. Early into the year, we lost one of our beloved classmates to Sarcoma, a very rare and severe form of cancer in both children and adults. Experiencing a death of someone your own age at this stage in life can be confusing and traumatic. It affected us greatly along with many of our classmates, and would inspire us to try to make a difference for other young children affected by cancer.
As sophomores in high school we came across the opportunity to host a Mini-THON, which is a modified version of the 46 hour dance marathon. When we saw this, we knew how important it was to bring THON's mission to our own community. We gained approval and support from school administrators to hold a 12 hour Mini-THON involving the entire Great Valley School District. From this Mini-THON we raised over $25,000 for the Four Diamonds Fund!
Since this time, we have been greatly involved in THON at Penn State. From participating in THON committees, holding THON related positions in our sororities, and fundraising for our own organizations. However, this year we have made the decision to become an Independent Dancer Couple outside of these organizations and work together again to reach our goal to raise awareness and funds to beat pediatric cancer!
We would like to thank each of you for all of your support. As an Independent Dancer Couple the closer we are towards reaching our goal the more chances we have for being selected in the lottery to dance on the floor during THON Weekend 2019. Dancing in THON has always been a dream of ours. However, no matter the outcome of the lottery system, we are excited and honored to do everything we can in the effort to end pediatric cancer.
Join us in our commitment to turn childhood dreams into reality by supporting THONTM. Together, Allison and Dustin, are taking action by uniting with 16,500 student volunteers and over 25,000 alumni supporters in the fight against childhood cancer. Our year-long efforts culminate in a 46-hour, no-sitting, no-sleeping dance marathon each February to celebrate our survivors, remember those we've lost, and take a stand--all in hopes of one day dancing in celebration of a cure.
Allison and Dustin have been working tirelessly all year with the hopes of being selected to dance in THON 2019. Independent Dancer Couples are dedicated individuals who set up their own fundraisers throughout the year, and with the support of friends and family, will obtain tickets in a lottery system in the hopes of earning a spot as dancers in the Penn State Dance Marathon. With your contribution, you will bring Allison and Dustin one step closer to being able to take a stand against childhood cancer during THON Weekend 2019.
