Black History Month is celebrated in February in the United States in recognition of the achievements made by black Americans and the important role of African Americans in U.S. history.
Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries around the world, including Canada (in February) and the United Kingdom (in October), also devote a month to celebrating black history.
While earning a Ph.D. from Harvard, historian Dr. Carter G. Woodson was disturbed to find that history books largely ignored the black American population. In 1926, Dr. Woodson launched Negro History Week in order to bring national attention to the contributions made by black people throughout American history.
Woodson chose the second week of February for Negro History Week because it marked the birthdays of two men who greatly influenced African American history: Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. This week eventually led to the celebration of Black History Month.
Using the list of 500 Biographies of Famous African Americans have your students create a newspaper or character body book report about a famous African American.

Groundhog Day is observed on February 2 in the United States and Canada.

The Boy Scouts of America was founded by Chicago publisher William Boyce on February 8, 1910. As a scout, children learn how to hike, camp and take care of the land. Scouts study wildlife up close in the great outdoors and learn about nature.
The Boy Scout program is designed to develop youth who have a high degree of self-reliance, initiative, courage, helpfulness, integrity, resourcefulness. This program teaches boys to have respect for the rights of others and to be positive leaders, role models, and citizens.

In recognition of the great contributions that inventors have made to the world, National Inventors Day is celebrated on February 11. This date was chosen because Thomas Edison was born on February 11, 1847.
Thomas Edison was an American inventor, scientist, and businessman and is known as one of the most prolific inventors of all time. Edison invented more than 1,200 items, including the light bulb and phonograph.
As a young boy, Edison was curious and outspoken. He only attended school for three months, as his teachers complained that his mind wandered and referred to him as "addled" (confused, mixed up, empty).
Instead, Edison was taught reading, writing, and arithmetic at home by his mother, who was a former teacher. In his adult years, Edison said, "My mother was the making of me. She was so true, so sure of me; and I felt I had something to live for, someone I must not disappoint."
Thomas Edision said, "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration." What do you think Edison's quote means?
How important is Edison's invention of the light bulb in your every day life?
Thomas Edison had little formal education. Do you think his lack of schooling would prevent him from becoming an important inventor today?
What do you think is the most important invention of all time? Why?
What are the major differences between a scientist and an inventor?
Draw and design a new invention. Write a description about your new invention and why it will be so useful to people today.
Design a newspaper about Thomas Edison that highlights his life as both a young boy growing up and as an inventor. For ideas and lesson plans for a biography newspaper project, please see this page on my website: Biography Book Report Newspaper Projects.

Visit Wikipedia's Thomas Edison page to learn more about this famous inventor.
Below you can watch a short documentary about Thomas Edison.
Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809 in a log cabin near Hodgenville, Kentucky. He moved to Indiana when he was 7 and grew up in a poor family on the American frontier. As a young adult, Lincoln moved to Illinois when he was 21.
Although Abraham Lincoln was mostly self-educated, he became a lawyer, an Illinois state legislator, and a member of the US House of Representatives. He was elected the 16th President of the United States and served from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865.
President Lincoln successfully led his country through the American Civil War, while helping to preserve the Union and ending slavery. He issued his Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and promoted the passage of the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which abolished slavery.
Abraham Lincoln is considered by many to be one of the greatest presidents in American history.
What were President Lincoln's greatest accomplishments?
You have been selected to give President Lincoln a tour of your city. Where would you take President Lincoln?

The Gettysburg Address is a speech that was made by President Abraham Lincoln on November 19, 1863 and it is one of the best-known speeches in United States history. This famous speech occurred during the American Civil War and in this speech, President Lincoln called on the people to ensure the survival of America's representative democracy.
Read your students Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. You can find the Gettysburg Address on this website: Gettysburg Address Text.

Using the wanted poster book report projects on my website, have your students design a Wanted Poster about John Wilkes Booth.
Write a eulogy for President Lincoln.
Susan B. Anthony was born on February 15, 1820 in Massachusetts and she was an important American civil rights leader. She fought for women's right to vote and introduced women's suffrage into the United States.
Women's suffrage is the right of women to vote and to run for office. Woman suffrage in the United States was achieved gradually, at state and local levels, during the 19th Century and early 20th Century.
Susan B. Anthony died on March 13, 1906 and fourteen years after her death, women were given the right vote on August 26, 1920, by the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. This ammendment stated: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex."
The Presidential election of November 1920 was therefore the first occasion in which women in all of the states were allowed to exercise their right of suffrage.
How would you feel if you were a woman in the 1800's and you did not have the right to vote?
Which countries provided women the right to vote prior to the United States?
Below are two websites with timelines that your students could use to help them with their research:
Timeline of Women's Suffrage
International Woman Suffrage Timeline Winning the Vote for Women Around the World
Visit the Susan B Anthony House to learn more information about this women's rights leader.
Susan B. Anthony was honored as the first American woman to be featured on a U.S. coin. The Susan B. Anthony dollar coin is about the size of a U.S. quarter and it was minted for four years: 1979, 1980, 1981, and 1999.
Choose a woman that admire and design a coin that features her. Write an explanation about why you admire this woman.
Presidents' Day is celebrated on the third Monday in February.
Presidents' Day is intended to honor all of the American presidents, but most significantly George Washington, who was born on February 22, and Abraham Lincoln, who was born on February 12.
Students can find a list of the Presidents on Wikipedia's List of Presidents of the United States page.
The United States has not elected a female for President. Choose a woman that you admire (living or dead) and explain why you feel that this woman would make a great President of the United States.
You have been chosen by your school newspaper to interview the current President of the United States. Plan your interview by writing down 10 questions that you would like to ask the President.
William Henry Harrison spent the shortest amount of time in office with 32 days and Franklin D. Roosevelt spent the longest with over twelve years. Research these two American Presidents and create a venn diagram to compare and contrast them.
Which U.S. President do you admire the most? Create a biography report about this President using the character body book report projects found on Unique Teaching Resources.
No matter where in the world the President travels, if he flies in an Air Force jet, the plane is called Air Force One. Describe your trip as a reporter on Air Force One with President. Which President are you traveling with? Which country are you going to and why is the President visiting that country?
Please see the writing prompts for Abraham Lincoln and George Washington that are found on this same page for more ideas for Presidents' Day lesson plans.
George Washington was born on February 22, 1732 in Virginia. He served as the commander of the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War from 1775 to 1783. George Washington was the first President of the United States from 1789 to 1797.
Because of his significant role in the revolution and in the formation of the United States, George Washington is often referred to by Americans as the "Father of Our Country."
What were George Washington greatest accomplishments?
You have been selected to give George Washington a tour of your city. Where would you take President Washington?
What would George Washington like about America in the 21st Century? What wouldn't he like?
Create a newspaper about George Washington that highlights his life and presidency. For ideas and lesson plans for a biography newspaper project, please see this page on my website: Biography Book Report Newspaper Projects.

Visit Wikipedia's George Washington page to learn more information about our first President.
Levi Strauss was born on February 26, 1829 in Bavaria, Germany. He sailed to the United States at the age of 18 with his family.
Along with Jacob Davis, Levis Strauss invented the blue jeans in 1873, and they were used by the California gold miners. These denim pants were originally called waist overalls.
Levis Strauss' invention of the blue jeans has become the most popular clothing product in the world.
Why do you think Levi Strauss' creation is still so popular today?
How often do you wear jeans? Do you like wearing jeans? Why or why not?
What is your favorite brand of jeans? Explain why.
Visit Wikipedia's Levi Strauss page to learn more information about this inventor.
Watch the video below to learn more about Levi Strauss and the invention of blue jeans.
February 29 occurs once every four years and is this called a Leap Year. A leap year contains one extra day in order to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical or seasonal year.
During a Leap Year, February has 29 days instead of the usual 28, so the year lasts 366 days instead of the usual 365. Adding an extra day to the calendar every four years compensates for the fact that a period of 365 days is shorter than a solar year by almost 6 hours.
A person born on February 29 may be called a "leapling" or a "leaper." People born on this day usually celebrate their birthdays on February 28 or March 1. Would you like to be born on February 29? Why or why not?
Write a letter to yourself that you will open up and read on the next leap year, four years from now. Write about your goals and what you would like to be doing four years in the future.
We leap when we are happy. What is something that you are happy about today?
Leap into a study about frogs and the rainforst on Leap Day.
Have a "How Far Can You Leap?" contest with your students and have them graph the results.
You have an extra day this year to do good deeds for other people. Describe your acts of kindness.

Anomalies really isn't your typical game on Steam. If you are looking for a game with a story, a purpose, or immersive gameplay, then stop right here. It's a fairly nice program for generating some random forms of artwork with varying degrees of symmetry and obeying certain rules of motion in space, coupled with some backgrounds to represent the vacuum in space.
+Neat generation of artwork
+Good degrees of freedom
-Not really any explanation of what the different parameters will control
-Could benefit from real-time on-screen display changes with changes to the parameter, instead of needing to respawn each time
-Priced too high (Price is now set down to 0.99 USD)
-No 4K support, trying to pick this option led to program crashing when picking full-screen mode. When picking windowed mode, it sticks at 1080p window.
It's a good program to look at once in a while if you want to generate a funky looking graphical image, and I do like the range of freedom the user has been given.
There are some neat output images and potential wiggling motions to make a cool GIF or video.
But once again it's not your typical game, it's also perhaps priced a bit too high for doing only that.
I had no financial input into looking at this software because I received it for free through Curator Connect. But if I bought this for $4 base, I would be sure to refund it soon after purchase.
For that fact, I cannot really recommend that my friends and readers buy this or do much with it.
I did make a brief video of my looking into this program, you can see basically what it is and decide for yourself. I did have a good time looking at it for a few minutes, but I wouldn't necessarily buy it myself.

Developer response:
Schmidt Workshops [developer] Posted: Dec 18, 2018 @ 1:22pm
I appreciate your detailed response, and thank you for altering your review after the price change.
While I cannot expect you or anyone to like Anomalies, I would like to present one additional piece of information.
The definition of "game" can vary according to context. When I set out, I would have agreed that Anomalies is not a game. I did not actually intend for it to be a game. However, when submitting it to Greenlight, I was forced to choose between "game" and "software." When looking at the sub-categories for software, however, I realized it did not match any of them either.
Software usually serves some purpose other than entertainment. At that point I went looking up the definition of "game."
Almost immedietly I came across this: "activity engaged in for diversion or amusement" in none other than Merriam-Webster https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/game
It is, in fact, the very first definition of the word "game" in that most authoritative lexicon of the English language.
I would agree, however, in warning people that it might not provide what they expect from the average game. For this reason, I call it "The Generative Art Game" and address this issue in the description itself.
I'm not trying to be argumentative, nor am I asking you to change your review in any way. I just want to provide this as an explanation of why I would persist in classifying Anomalies as a game.
YQMaoski Dec 19, 2018 @ 10:28am
@MKSchmidt, thank you for the explanation. It makes a lot of sense. I do like what you have going on here and I think it has potential to be used as a tool in another setting to get some meaningful use out of it by incorporating it into another product that more closely resembles what we would consider a game here on Steam. Though I do see that in that broader definition of the word "game" this would certainly apply. I have further modified my review to no longer say that this is not a game, but rather that it is not a typical game.

Following is a comparison of LCD (LED) TVs and plasma TVs. In 2015, the last remaining plasma manufacturers (Panasonic, LG and Samsung) exited the market. However, thousands of plasma sets are still in use and much loved.
The two display technologies differ greatly. LCDs shine light through color filters, whereas plasma generates the colors by igniting phosphors (see flat panel TV, LCD, LED TV and plasma display).
Plasma sets are much heavier and require a very secure mounting.
Glare from lights, lamps and sunlight are an issue. Plasma TVs reflect light like old CRTs, however, some have more glare than others. The same goes for LCD TVs.
The consensus from showroom sales reps who watched TV day after day was that plasma offered the best and most natural image, especially in sets 50" and up. However, LCD sets are lighter and use considerably less energy. OLED, the latest display technology, has the best of both (see OLED).
Stuck pixels on LCD panels show up as persistent, tiny pinpoints of light, which may be annoying. If found early on, manufacturers have been known to replace the set.
Plasma TVs were subject to image retention and burn-in, which are faint images that remain on screen due to static material displayed for long periods such as channel logos. Image retention was temporary, but burn-in was permanent and occurred when the same content appeared for hours on end, especially in the first days of use. However, newer plasma TVs continuously rotated the image one or two pixels, making them less susceptible to burn-in. Another issue with plasma was a possible buzz at altitudes above 6,500 feet.
LCD uses liquid crystals, color filters and a backlight, whereas plasma uses gas and phosphors (see plasma display). See LCD vs. OLED.

99 South Main Street, Fairport NY 14450
The immediately recognizable little white building with the steeply pitched roof at 99 South Main Street was designated an historic landmark by the Fairport Historic Preservation Commission (FHPC) in January of 2013. It was built in 1934 on land leased to the Pure Oil Company by the owners of the Green Lantern during the Great Depression. It functioned as a gas and service station until 1961, when a change in ownership led to a series of business ventures in the building. Most residents may recall the building as the home of the Slocum-Lauder Insurance Agency for many years. The current owner (as of Sept. 2012) is the village of Fairport's Office of Community and Economic Development (OCED).
The building is an excellent example of the Pure Oil corporate design for gas stations developed by architect Carl August Peterson, first used in 1927. Referred to as "English Cottage", the design features a covered bay window with leaded glass, a canopy over a stylized front door with rounded top. The door has nine-paned oval

window in the upper portion. An additional small window compliments the shape of the front door. Gently curving wrought iron railings, painted brick exterior walls, and brick chimney are additional features of the "English Cottage" design. The roof tiles are painted black, over the original "Pure Oil blue" glazing. The tiles were manufactured by the Lodowici-Celadon, of terra cotta.
The building meets three of the five designation criteria according to the Fairport Preservation Local Law. The prominent location and unique design makes the building stand out on the busy corner of Main and Church Streets. Carl August Peterson, nationally known for his work in this field, and referred to as "the father of modern service station architecture", designed it.
The rounded top front door with canopy has nine-paned oval window in the upper portion.
It also possesses special character of historic or aesthetic interest. The building's design has been considered symbolic of the cultural changes which occurred with the huge growth of the automobile in the early 20th century, and the impact the auto had on the lives of Americans, their means of transporation, their neighborhoods, and streetscapes. At least two structures of this design in other locations are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Jim Unckless, chairman of the OCED's Board of Directors said, "We were pleased to have the Pure Oil building designated as a historic landmark. Our intent in purchasing the building was to preserve its history, and seek proposals for its best use. The building sits on property that functions as a gateway to the Village, and we felt it is a critical piece to future development on the four corners."
The "English Cottage" design features a covered bay window with panels of leaded glass.
For more information on the FHPC and designated landmarks, go to the village preservation page or the village website.
A small window on the right compliments the shape of the front door.
The building features a covered bay window with leaded glass, a canopy supported with wrought iron brackets over a stylized front door with rounded top.
Gently curving wrought iron railings are just one feature of the "English Cottage" design found in many of the Pure Oil Stations across the country.
The "Cottage" style has very high pitched roof lines. The roof tiles are painted black, over the original "Pure Oil blue" glazing.

Q: "BOOST_DIR NOT FOUND" of shark3.0 using boost1.54.0 with cmake under win7 x64 os shark3.0 is a machine learning library which is dependent on the boost library. I want to cmake shark3.0 with cmake-gui into msvc9.0 sln and to generate shark.lib.
In cmake-gui, i configure everything other than "BOOST_DIR" with the right path of boost components. As mentioned in the title, i can not solve it, even with the tip of shark "get-started" help! In the webpage of "get-started", it mentions that I don't have to worry about "BOOST_DIR NOT FOUND", and can CMAKE (that is, "generate" )it successfully. But,unfortunately, I can not!!!!
By the way, the boost1.54.0 in my situation is from here, it is generated by "boost_1_54_0_msvc_9.0_win32.exe".

A: the key point is in the following sentence: "CMake Error at G:/program files/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:644 (file):
  file STRINGS file "D:/library_file/boost_1_54_0/*boost/boost/*version.hpp" ", when i use cmake-gui to configure and generate the sln version of shark!
"D:/library_file/boost_1_54_0/boost/" is the folder where all .hpp header files are included especially "version.hpp". so, if i want to generate sln of shark, i have to put a new file folder "boost" in "D:/library_file/boost_1_54_0/boost/" and copy "version.hpp" into the new "boost" folder. done well!

Vittinge socken i Uppland ingick i Torstuna härad, ingår sedan 1971 i Heby kommun, sedan 2007 i Uppsala län (före 2006-12-31 i Västmanlands län), och motsvarar från 2016 Vittinge distrikt.

Socknens areal är 135,95 kvadratkilometer, varav 132,85 land. År 2000 fanns här 2 371 invånare. Tätorten Morgongåva samt tätorten och kyrkbyn Vittinge med sockenkyrkan Vittinge kyrka ligger i socknen.

Administrativ historik
Vittinge socken omtalas första gången 1314 ('De Hvittinge'). Vittinge kyrkas äldsta delar härrör troligen från omkring 1250.

Vid kommunreformen 1862 övergick socknens ansvar för de kyrkliga frågorna till Vittinge församling och för de borgerliga frågorna till Vittinge landskommun. Landskommunen uppgick 1971 i Heby kommun, som 2007 överfördes från  Västmanlands län till Uppsala län.

1 januari 2016 inrättades distriktet Vittinge, med samma omfattning som församlingen hade 1999/2000.

Socknen har tillhört län, fögderier, tingslag och domsagor enligt vad som beskrivs i artikeln Torstuna härad.  De indelta soldaterna tillhörde Västmanlands regemente, Salbergs kompani och Livregementets grenadjärkår, Östra Västmanlands kompani.

Geografi
Vittinge socken ligger kring Skattmansöån samt sjöarna Tenasjön, Ekholmssjön, Axsjön och Ramsjön. Socknen har dalgångsbygd vid ån och är i övrigt en skogsbygd.

Socknen korsas i öst-västlig riktning av riksväg 72 (Uppsala-Sala). Inom socknen ligger Skattmansö gård samt Upplands högsta punkt.

Fornlämningar
Här finns 17 stenåldersboplatser. Dessa är i regel fångstboplatser från mesolitisk tid. De flesta fornlämningar ligger inom tre gravfält från yngre järnåldern. Det finns sex runstenar, av vilka två saknar innebörd och en saknar runor. I socknens södra del ligger Östlunda fornborg vid Skattmansö gård.

Namnet
Namnet (1344 Hwitunge) kommer från kyrkbyn. Efterleden är inbyggarbeteckningen inge. Förleden är ett ortnamn vit, kanske taget från en nu försvunnen sjö vid kyrkan.

Two new ambulances in Maple Ridge and the Tri-Cities are now on the road to help improve local response times.
In February 2016, eight new ambulances were added to communities throughout the Lower Mainland to improve response times, including two in Langley to help alleviate the pressure in Maple Ridge. At the time, BC Emergency Health Services committed to monitor and evaluate its response times in Maple Ridge and Tri-Cities and add resources if needed. While median response times for the highest acuity calls have declined in Maple Ridge, growing population and increasing demand for ambulances warranted more resources. These two ambulances, announced by Premier Christy Clark in September 2016, have been added as part of the BC Emergency Health Services Action Plan to improve services in the region.
BC Emergency Health Services uses a regional dynamic deployment model, which dispatches ambulances to neighbouring municipalities as required. This is the third ambulance for Maple Ridge and the seventh for the Tri-Cities. All of the ambulances will also serve surrounding communities.

Top 7 Things That You Should Actually See and Do in Dublin
Visiting Dublin and looking for things to see and do?
The capital is a vibrant place to explore and filled with museums and interesting landmarks. However, time is short for most tourists and there's only so many places that you can actually visit. In this article, we take a look at the most interesting places and attractions that you should see and do in Dublin...
1. Uncover Some Irish History at Kilmainham Gaol
Kilmainham Gaol is just a few kilometers from the city center and home to arguably the most interesting guided tour in Dublin. This old prison is spectacular to see but the history behind the jail is emotional to say the least. Lasting for one hour, a guided walking tour takes a look at the infamous revolutionaries and prisoners that once sat between these walls. Many heroic prisoners were also executed here and the guide will explain the importance of Kilmainham and these events for Irish history. Just so you know, Kilmainham is often used as a filming location and even featured in the "Italian Job".
2. Visit the Greenery of Stephens Green and Merrion Square
The green spaces in Dublin are sometimes overlooked but they offer a very different experience in the city. For instance, both Stephens Green and Merrion Square are so quiet that you can feel a million miles from the city and the landscaping is outstanding. But these parks are also dotted with beautiful statues and some of these are dedicated to very famous Irish writers, poets and playwrights. Oscar Wilde in Merrion Square is the most obvious of these landmarks and his statue offers a very intimate encounter in a lush and silent corner of the park on Merrion Square.
3. Spend an Hour in the Little Museum of Dublin
As with any city, Dublin has multiple museums and most of these are worth the visit. However, for something different, the Little Museum of Dublin is filled with some fascinating photos and artifacts from 20th Century Dublin. This includes intimate photos of Bono and U2 and items from JFK's tour of the city. But there's over 5,000 exhibits so while the museum is indeed quite small, it will still take a couple of hours to explore.
4. Make Sure to Step Inside St. Patrick's Cathedral
St Patrick's Cathedral was built way back in 1191 which should be a first reason why you might want to visit this iconic landmark. However, this is also where St.Patrick baptized thousands of converts more than 1,500 years ago. And then there's the magnificent interior and facade outside; the Cathedral is spectacular in every way. For a stroll around the Cathedral with less people, try getting there when it opens at 9am.
5. Enjoy an Irish Breakfast in O'Neills and Leo Burdocks on Werburgh Street
To be honest, most pubs and restaurants know how to make a decent Irish breakfast in Dublin. It's true, this Irish staple is pretty reliable and common wherever you go but for a worthy shout - check out O'Neills Pub on Suffolk Street. As for the fish and chips, Leo Burdock's has been there since 1913 and was serving food during both World Wars. What to get? Fish n' Chips of course but also ask for some "crispy bits". By the way, there are now many Leo Burdock's in town but Werburgh Street is where you will find the original and a "Wall of Fame" that features all the famous people that ate there!
6. Take a Walk Down Memory Lane on Moore Street
It's no secret to the locals that "old Dublin" is fast disappearing. This relates to an era in which the city felt a lot more local and markets were frequented more than the shops. Although most of these markets have disappeared, you can still find a taste of the past in certain places such as Meath Street or Moore Street. The latter is located next to Henry Street in Dublin City Centre and this is where lots of locals sell their fruit and vegetables like they did in the old days. It's worth checking out on a stroll!
7. Enjoy Temple Bar But Make Sure to Mix with the Locals
The pubs in Temple Bar are fantastic and always a hive of activity with rowdy tourists enjoying the traditional live music. The truth is, most locals don't frequent Temple Bar and the higher prices mean you will rarely find any Irish people in this area. Instead, make sure to spend time checking out bars on Georges Street, South William Street and Baggot Street so that you can mix with the locals and find a more authentic experience in general.
Aside from the city center, you might want to check out some local attractions in greater Dublin. The Howth cliff walk is easy to reach and offers stunning views of Dublin Bay, while the Hellfire Club is a haunted house in the Dublin mountains that you can actually reach on foot after a short bus trip out of the city center. Either way, enjoy your time in the city and make sure to check out the above things to do in Dublin!
And that's my top seven things you should see and do in Dublin. Maybe I missed something? Let me know in the comments.

Microsoft's (Reluctant) Changes to Xbox One Could Save It
Gaming Today
Published by GameFront.com 9 years ago , last updated 3 years ago
Posted on July 24, 2013, Ross Lincoln Microsoft's (Reluctant) Changes to Xbox One Could Save It
By now, you've heard that Microsoft has relented on the absurd prohibition against Indie developers who lack a major publisher. After a growing number of complaints about the restriction that led more than one high profile indie developer to angrily denounce Xbox One (never mind constantly looking bad compared to Sony, its chief console rival), the company has finally seen reason. Xbox One will be a home for indie developers after all.
But that it had to see reason at all is a problem, and it provokes a serious question. Just what the hell was Microsoft using for guidance as it developed the Xbox One?
It's unlikely we'll ever know for certain, but we can effectively rule out market research or consumer feedback of any kind. From the beginning, Xbox One seems to have been designed to be precisely the opposite of what its potential customers would actually want to purchase.
Today's news is only the latest about-face for Microsoft in a summer filled with PR disasters and intense criticism. As none of you have forgotten, the company previously backed down entirely on Xbox One's onerous DRM and user restrictions. But that only happened after a series of needless humiliations it could have avoided.
First, Adam Orth's painfully obtuse "deal with it" response to complaints about rumors – which later turned out to be true – that the console would be a crummy deal for consumers led to Orth's (almost certainly forced) resignation. Next was Sony's truly entertaining face-slap to Microsoft at E3 2013. Sony announced that PS4 would have no DRM and no restrictions on the ability to freely trade games. This was immediately followed by an absolutely brutal mockery of Xbox One.
If that wasn't bad enough, former President of the Interactive Business Don Mattrick offered a tone-deaf response when asked what people who could not access the Internet, such as overseas military personnel, were supposed to do if they bought an Xbox One. "Fortunately, we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity" Mattrick's glib response went. "It's called Xbox 360." That response prompted The Navy Times to blast Microsoft for committing "a sin" against armed forces members. Mattrick's departure from Microsoft has been presented by all parties as amicable and inevitable, though one can be forgiven for assuming, as I do, that it was related to that serious PR blunder. But whatever the reasons behind it, Xbox One's problems were probably bigger than the Xbox division itself.
Consider that after reversing course on DRM and user restrictions, Microsoft also said it was forced to remove some of Xbox One's more interesting features, among them the ability to access your games from any Xbox One console, and the ability to digitally share your titles. This kind of one step forward, two steps back approach continues today, as it was also confirmed that the dev kit functionality won't be available at launch.
Cynical observers might assume this is petulance on Microsoft's part. That it only deactivated the digital sharing features to spite the people who complained about DRM so loudly it had no choice to listen, that any delay in making Xbox One a self-publishing forum for indie devs is similarly bitter. But that sounds exactly wrong to me. What I think we're seeing isn't the actions of a company locked in its bedroom, listening to Smiths albums at top volume. It suggests that Microsoft, from the beginning, had no idea at all that any of these features, or lack thereof, would present a problem of any kind.
By all appearances, Microsoft is a company whose industry dominance at this point is probably a matter of size and precedent, rather than actual power. (I'll leave it to you to compare this to real world nation-state analogues.) The latest stock report provides particularly brutal evidence of that. The company has for almost a decade chased desperately after its competitors, while at the same time, making particularly odd decisions that seem designed to ensure it will do so forever. Take its decision to kill the highly buzzed-about Courier tablet. That tablet was in development well before Apple unveiled its iPad, and could have positioned the company to dominate in the mobile friendly era. Instead, they're scrambling to sell Surface tablets, and failing.
A company that big tends to have a culture dominated by its past, and by people who are intimately connected to it. And Microsoft has that in abundance. The new head of the Xbox Division, Julie Larson-Green, has been with the company for 20 years. And current CEO Steve Ballmer has been with the company since 1980. These are people with colossal achievements on their resume, but who have really only ever known what Microsoft does, not necessarily what it should do.
Maybe that's why every reversal of Xbox One-related policies has the feeling of a company that is only slowly, and grudgingly, accepting that it cannot yell at its customers until they do what it would like.
We might be annoyed by Microsoft's laughable claim, when confirming the switch on indie developers, that "Our vision is that every person can be a creator. That every Xbox One can be used for development." We know this isn't true, or else this functionality would have been built into the console from the start. But we can, at least, observe that we're seeing, in real time, the company paying attention to its consumers for the first time in over a decade.
Which means we can probably look forward to the announcement of a Kinect-free Xbox One before November, no matter how strongly the company denies it.

xxxHOLiC & Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle. How should I read them?
I'm talking about two series so I wasn't sure where to posts this thread. My bad.
Ok. I been waching the anime for Tsubasa Chronicles. Preetty good but I thought I may read the manga instead.
However I just recently found out that all the characters come from xxxHOLiC.
And there suppsed to be connected. There both one big story right? So I get that I have to rad both but I'm worried that maybe I might spoil something in one manga when it should be read in the other or someshit.
I know that xxxHOLiC came out first but Tsubasa came out only a few months after it and because there one big story and xxxHOLiC lasted longer than it. Is there some special way of reading it? I also asked a friend of mine and he says he switched between the two whenever a scene overlaps with the other.
So i'll makle it simple.
What order should I read em?
I don't think they overlap THAT much. Anyhow, in that case read XXXHolic first, and the Tsubasa. Then you'll always understand when one overlaps with the other.
Haha. ^^ Yeah, its easier than trying to overlap the two.
Reading XXXholic first and Tsubasa actually will confuse and spoil you later on. Probably best to read them side by side.
I too think it would be better to read them together.
If you really care about the story and mysteries then start with Tsubasa (or even Cardcaptor Sakura if you are that interested) then start reading xxxHolic. But do not read them separately.
It's no use reading x first then y after you finished x, because the two mangas literally overlap with eachother several times.
F.E.: You read an xxxHolic chapter where the main character woman talks with 3 young adults, then you read a Tsubasa chapter where 3 young adults talk with the main woman from xxxHolic. So basically you see the same scene, just from different perspectives. But to understand why the woman talks with the 3 you need to read Tsubasa and to understand why the 3 ask help from her you need to read xxxHolic.
Ill try reading side by side. Thanks!
I watched Tsubasa season 1 and 2, then watched xxxHolic. The anime adaptation of xxxHolic was good, it follows the manga but, left out everything about Tsubasa. I read xxxHolic manga first to see the differences, now I am reading Tsubase.
I have read xxxHolic Rei and Tsubasa World Chronicles I am up-to-date with both series.
hmm...I think side by side is best. seems like the most enjoyable. Still deciding though.
yeah both of these manga happen in the same universe but you seem them from the perspective of a different main character.
You can read them side by side.
I'm just finishing Tsubasa: Reservoir c. (205/233) and you need a little bit of Holic in the previous part (ch 180 circa). For the rest, you can go easily without Holic.
Btw: i'm at ch. 57 in Holic and i stopped reading because i was reading 2 volumes of tsubasa and 1 of xxxholic, but this last one really spoilers tsubasa a lot.
Edit: FInished tsubasa. Ok you can easily read it without Holic, but you won't know what Watanuki did in his world (it doesn't seem important).
Thread moved to the xxxHOLiC (Manga) board.

Perry has experience, morals, leadership
The Rev. Jamie Johnson, Stratford
America needs three things in the next president: a strong chief executive, a strong commander-in-chief, and a strong moral leader.
Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry is a strong chief executive. For the last 14 years he has been running a state of 27 million people, the second largest state in the nation, the 12th largest economy in the world. And his record of job growth, business growth, and personal income growth is unparalleled.
Rick Perry was also a captain in the U.S. Air Force, a pilot who flew C-130 tactical airlift in Europe and the Middle East, and the commander-in-chief of the largest state military force in the nation (the Texas National Guard). He will secure our borders, rebuild our military, and renew our leadership in the world.
He is also a strong moral leader, and has defended life, marriage and religious liberty. He has championed every freedom in the Bill of Rights. And he has never forgotten his humble roots: growing up on a dryland cotton farm, in a home without running water, 16 miles from the nearest post office, where he learned the values of faith, duty, and courage.
In this time of economic uncertainty, international terrorist threats, and assaults on our liberties, the next presidential election must be about which candidate offers principled, wise and courageous leadership. After 35 years of service to his country and to his state, Rick Perry is the best prepared person to lead the United States.
— The Rev. Jamie Johnson, Stratford


The society was founded in 1716. Like many early gardeners' associations, it may have grown out of an earlier body. It used a variety of names over the years. It is often recorded as the Dunfermline Gardeners' Society or, more formally, the Ancient Society of Gardeners in and about Dunfermline.
The Gardeners were not numbered among Dunfermline's incorporations and trades guilds. Hence their status was at first sight lesser. In partial compensation, their rules were more flexible. That the society could not be an incorporation in law does not appear to have bothered the founders unduly as their 'bond of union' follows almost exactly the form of an incorporation's seal of cause and they refer to themselves throughout as both a fraternity and an incorporation. The senior officers were at first a Deacon and a number of masters, also just like incorporations. Later, the most senior position was titled 'Chancellor', which is believed to reflect the growing influence of non-operative members.
The society was popular from the outset. From the first local 'gentry' enlisted in some numbers, although they paid different rates than practicing gardeners. This essentially gave the society a cachet or social position that was unavailable to the town's incorporations, which were restricted solely to craftsmen. Other professionals - lawyers, military men, ministers and doctors - also joined the Gardeners. In a history published at the society's centenary a complete membership list was printed. It emphasised the titled and professional men, who were headed by a duke, a marquis, 6 earls, 7 lords, 8 knights and hundreds of professionals (soldiers, ministers, advocates) and other landowners or lairds. The list appeared regularly, with additions, during the society's second century. Interestingly, upper class interest was at its greatest during the first fifty years of the society; few notable additions were made to the first published list. By the end of the eighteenth century such illustrious company had faded away except for a leavening of Dunfermline based professionals.
The Society was able to invest surplus cash in land. It purchased a substantial plot just outside the then boundaries of the burgh of Dunfermline in the first half of the eighteenth century. Business minutes record in detail expenditure relating to the administration of the property and the subsequent revenue that the society earned from it. Although at first some of the land was let in the short term, providing rental income, the society's sustained wealth was secured by selling feus on the land. Each feu provided both a once and only lump sum in cash and a continuing feu duty, which was still being levied into the 1990s.
At the end of the eighteenth century, the rules of society were emended to enhance its role in providing sickness, funeral and widows' benefits; to some extent the original gardening objectives were neglected. However, for many years a horticultural fund was maintained with a programme of exhibitions and prizes. In the nineteenth century this was reformulated as a separate 'Horticultural Section' with separate membership terms and dues - a small annual fee to cover administration of the events and prizes.
By 1828 the society had feued fifty individual plots on its land. They received in return annual sums ranging from 17/6 (87.5p) to £9.17.6 (£9.875), around £80 in total. Other income was realized from interest on investments and rentals from land that still remained in their own hands. The feuars could build on their feus and sell them if they wished and with the agreement of the society. Any new purchaser also owed feu duty to the society and sometimes 'entry money', a one-off charge. This steady income influenced the development of the society.
In 1832 the reforming zeal of a new secretary transformed the society once more. Sickness benefit and charitable donations were abolished, as was the quarterly subscription that had mostly sustained these payments. Instead, the society concentrated on providing annuities or pensions to members over the age of 65: the society's land wealth and admission rates served to cover outgoings.
The minute books and ledgers of the Society are held at Dunfermline Local Studies Library. They are remarkably complete. They can be used to follow the development of the society as a whole, both its changing role and its membership. They provide an insight into the development of a part of Dunfermline that was still open land when the society purchased it but which was fully developed when the society celebrated its 200th anniversary in 1916 by marching the boundaries of their property. And they throw light on the social history of families and individuals in Dunfermline.
To single out just one member, Peter Donald was 38 when he joined the Society on 10 June 1864. Consequently, he paid high entry money - £4.16.3 (£4.81). Entry was charged at different scales for the first and subsequent sons or sons-in-law of members. Neutrals, those with no connection to the Society at all, paid even more. Entry money was also age dependant, reflecting the likely risk that older entrants would be on the society's outgoings. Tables indicating charges were published to keep members informed. Despite his age at entry, Peter Donald was able to benefit from his membership for many years. He was admitted as an annuitant (pensioner) of the Society on 31 October 1891 aged 65. At that time he was resident in New York. He died there on 9 April 1915 (aged 89). During this time his benefit totalled more than £150 - a good return on his investment.
Later members were not so fortunate. After the First World War and during the rest of the twentieth century inflation began to outstrip the growth in the sum that the society could distribute. By the 1980s, it was costing more to administer the Society's business than was paid out in annuities - £133.85 against £125. The remaining members expressed an interest in closing the society, which was first voiced at the annual general meeting of 1983. The next year the Clerk (a local solicitor) reported the opinion of the Registrar of Friendly Societies in Edinburgh that as 'the society owned the superiority of large subjects' there was 'no way of winding up'. As the value of annuities was further eroded, the society appears to have withered and died.

For most Africans, a mobile phone is their only computing device. Africa has a population of approximately 1 billion, 30 million computers and 264 million mobile phones. The continent has experineced the greatest mobile phone growth in the world. Mobile web is also on the rise and recent statistics show that 45% internet users in Kenya access the Internet via mobile phone.
Realising this, JKUAT Endeavour Program – a platform for sharing knowledge, experiences and skills in Kenyan Universities, organized and conducted a mobile application development course, JKUAT/MIT Africa Information Technology Initiative Extension (JKUAT/MIT AITI-x) 2009. The course is a collaborative effort of the JKUAT Endeavour, Department of Computing – JKUAT, MIT AITI and Google Inc.
The course was held at the University from 15th September 2009 and ended on 7th November 2009. Participants were taught java programming, developing SMS, J2ME, and Google Android applications.
The course ended with a mobile application development competition where participants demonstrated how they could use the knowledge they had acquired in an enterprising way. Judging of the students projects was done on 7th November 2009, JKUAT/MIT AITI-x Open Day. The team of judges was drawn from Google Inc – Kenya Office, African Pixel, Dotsavvy Africa Ltd., Verviant Consulting and JKUAT.
The first position was a tie of the College Finder and Mobichuo SMS applications. The applications were to help high school leavers to find college/university courses they would qualify for using SMS. College finder was developed by Ngugi N. Benjamin, Buyu Walter, Sang Bernard, Nabie S. Daniel and Antony Nzomo. Mobichuo was developed by Senteu Ole Nchoe, Joy Kendi and Fred Kithizi.
The third postion was taken by the Sibasi Droid, an Android application that enables users to find places and friends that are located near their current position. Once the user logs in to the application, it picks their current location using GPS. The application then lists places (ATMs, restuarants) and friends that are currently located near the user which can be mapped onto google maps in the map view option. The application was developed by Amos Wachanga and David Mburu.
All the winners were awarded prizes by Google and prize money by the JKUAT Endeavour Team. All the participants received Google noteboooks and Google pens.
The JKUAT Endeavour team would like to express their gratitude to the Institute of Computer Science Science and Information Technolgy (ICSIT), the ICT Department, and the Research Consultancy and Training section for their support.

Kelly Ward Doubles Up on UT Arlington Online Nursing Degrees
UTA graduate, Kelly Ward, with her husband, Michael.
Talk about a good problem to have.
Kelly Ward's nursing career advanced to a point where she had to play catch up. She did just that by consecutively earning an RN to BSN and a Master of Science in Nursing in Nursing Administration online from the University of Texas at Arlington.
"The progression in my career was unbalanced with my formal education training," Ward said. "I became a director for the emergency department at the facility where I was working. I needed to go back to school because an associate degree didn't meet the requirement of the job description.
"I knew that to progress any more, I just had to bite the bullet and go all the way through and get my master's degree. I hope to continue my growth as a nursing leader to impact those that I serve."
Ward is Senior Administrative Director of Nursing at Memorial Hermann Health System in the Houston area. She has been in that position since December 2015 after serving as Administrative Director of Nursing since 2012.
"My master's program prepared me to obtain an additional certification as a board certified nursing executive (NEA-BC) and I also received a graduate certificate as a nursing educator," she said.
One of Ward's friends, Kaitlin Dingee, recommended the UT Arlington online program.
"She got the same master's degree I did, and now she is a nurse practitioner," Ward said. "She gave me all of her hand-me-down books. She was the first person who really encouraged me and told me I could do it. That was probably the first time I heard of the program. I hear about it all of the time now. I know a lot of people who are in it, and I have referred a lot of my friends to it."
Ward got plenty of encouragement as she earned back-to-back online degrees, beginning in 2011 and culminating in 2016.
"My entire family was really supportive," she said. "My husband, Michael, would have me go to school all of the time, if he could. He understood that investing in my education would ultimately result in more earning potential. My husband never went to college and liked watching me progress. I helped him see that it's never too late. He is currently considering his own educational opportunities."
Caregiver From the Start
At a very early age, Ward knew she wanted to provide care and comfort for others.
"I grew up taking care of other people because I had a sister who had special needs," she said. "So, it was really just second nature for me. I always knew that I wanted to be a nurse.
"My mom always wanted to be a nurse, so that was a direction I always knew I was going to go in. She wasn't able to become a nurse because her devotion of caring for my sister prevented her from being able to fulfill that dream. I learned patience, compassion and selflessness from her. Caring was just in her nature. It just seemed natural to me, too."
Ward earned an associate degree in nursing from Galveston College in 2001 while working as an emergency medical technician. She started her nursing career as an emergency room registered nurse at St. Joseph Medical Center in Houston, where she worked for four years. She then worked for HCA Hospital in various roles for three years before moving on to Memorial Hermann Health System in 2007.
"In both programs, I was able to apply what I was learning to my job," she said. "At the end of the BSN, I was just baffled by how much content was in the courses that I didn't know because I had been a nurse for a long time."
Ward was able to get both of her online degrees from UT Arlington while working full-time and helping raise four kids — a son, Blake (6) and three daughters, Kinsey (9), Taylor (17) and Chelsie (18).
She said her schedule was fairly stable throughout the process.
"I don't know if it's fortunate or unfortunate, but I was working five days a week," Ward said. "Really, it was like going back to nursing school the first time. My whole weekend was dedicated to schoolwork. For me, online education was the only option I had, since I had a Monday-through-Friday job with young children. Really, I couldn't have asked for an easier way to go back to school. It really was great."
Ward said the biggest hurdle she faced was the non-nursing courses in the program.
"Already being a professional, the nursing courses reinforced much of what I had already learned on the job, the academic courses on the other hand really made me dig deep," she explained. "Those were the most difficult for me. They were really hard because I wasn't an expert in math or English. It had been over ten years since I had taken an academic course. Although they were tough, once I got through my basics, my confidence level soared."
The MSN course Ward ended up enjoying the most was Nursing and Healthcare Policy, which she had to stop and start again.
"The very first time I took it, it was structured a little bit differently and there was an assignment due within three days of the course starting," she said. "I missed it. And this course was very strict. You couldn't turn anything in late. So, the second time I took it, I knew it was going to be really challenging but knew what to expect. It turned out to be one of my favorite courses. I also really enjoyed the leadership courses in the master's program."
Ward said the biggest key to returning to school is taking the initiative.
"You just have to start somewhere," she said. "We give ourselves all kind of excuses, like we're going to wait until our kids are older or we have an easier work schedule, or something happens in our life to make it easier. But, nothing ever makes it easier. I had a few bumps in the road along my path including the death of my mother. Life happens and you have to prepare yourself to keep up with it. School is intimidating at first because you don't know what to expect — especially for people who have been out of college for several years. But it's definitely worth it."
Additionally, Ward was happy she could set an example for her kids.
"I'm glad they got to see me going to school," she said. "I have teenagers, and one of them [Chelsie] wants to do exactly what I do. She talks to me all of the time about how to get there. She's a senior this year. She's going to be starting college. I'm glad they experienced that busyness I had when I was in school because they understand it was very important."

What's the difference from the Face DNA Test Pro Package and the Basic Package?
The Basic Package for face comparing is very effective as well. It's a bit more affordable and still offers same day results. The Basic Package works well if you don't know specific facial features of one of the participants. Maybe you've come across photos of a family member online or through online ancestry testing. In these cases, depending on the picture quality, you may not have clear details on the persons eye color, dimples, blood types or other hereditary features.
Take a look at the difference below!

© UNCDF 2019 John Rae
Vanuatu has joined countries and organizations from around the world in supporting a call to action to policymakers, regulators and remittance service providers to improve migrants' access for sending and receiving remittances, and to reduce transfer costs during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
It has been estimated that the pandemic will cause a 20% decline in the amount of remittances sent by migrants back home to low- and middle-income countries. This is due to loss of wages and employment by migrants alongside restrictions placed on remittances providers during lockdown.
The goal of the call to action, Remittances in Crisis – How to Keep Them Flowing, is, therefore, to remove the obstacles that migrants and their families face when sending and receiving money. Many families rely on remittances to finance basic needs such as housing, education, food and medical care.
Reduced remittances have a knock-on effect on local economies. The Director General of the Ministry of Finance and Economic Management, Mr. Letlet August, mentioned; "In Vanuatu, we are acutely aware that a reduction in remittances can have major ripple effects across our local communities and economies and can result in a decrease in productive investment, consumption spending and access to education and health services. Lockdowns, travel bans and physical distancing measures in response to the crisis have disproportionately affected the migrant workers, who have found themselves stranded unable to return to their place of work or their communities of origin."
In Vanuatu, there has already been a considerable effort to drive down the cost and increase the ease of sending remittances over the past few years. The National Bank of Vanuatu has undergone a digital transformation and developed features aimed at helping seasonal workers to send money home. At the end of 2019 Vodafone Vanuatu launched a mobile money wallet offering cheaper domestic remittances. These digital transformation and mobile money projects were supported by the Pacific Financial Inclusion Programme, a jointly administered programme from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF).
Spearheaded by the Government of Switzerland and the Government of the United Kingdom, the call to action is also supported by the global knowledge partnership on migration and development KNOMAD, UNCDF and UNDP, the World Bank, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the International Association of Money Transfer Networks (IAMTN), and the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC).

Every Thursday I'm dedicating to drawing... with every second Thursday being a Tangling day. That is, drawing stylized patterns and lines... random and creative.
I'm usually one for sketching out a few ideas, then sketching a final idea, roughing out an outline, inking it in then erasing the rough pencil.
For Tangled Thursdays, there is no sketching out ideas... its ink straight onto paper - without planning!
Its a good technique to do to loosen up the drawing arm and to teach the brain to let go of "perfection" in drawing and to just draw lots of lines, swirls, circles, spots and dashes.
September in the Studio is Fairyland month... so yesterday I had the class draw a scene with whatever they imagined. Its not Tangling exactly in the way its normally done but it has tangled areas!
I started off with the fairy, added the ground, a tree, then the owl, tree 'bark' and a hole (where I couldn't resist adding another owl hiding), the fungi on the tree, the mushrooms then the rest in a jumbled order.
I finished mine off this morning... just added a few dragonflies, dandilions, fluffing up the caterpillar and adding/altering a few other things, then lastly, I changed the fairy's wand into a dandilion puff.
As you can see, I had a few moments of 'bugga, I didn't want that line there' so added a bit of excessive shading! They are not mistakes but just variations in the drawing.
If you find parts of your linework not behaving to your satisfaction, don't throw it away and start again... just turn it into something else or leave it and focus on an area of the picture you do like.
The next day, you will see the picture with fresh eyes and be able to adjust or ignore what you've done.
Overall, its a fantastic thing to do, drawing without planning. Have a go yourself and don't forget... practise practise practise!!!

Weekend Winner: Jay Cutler, Safety Last
Barry Petchesky
All the furor over Jay Cutler spending the second half on the bench is proof positive that the battle for player safety is an uphill one, and won't be solved with posters and PSAs.
It began almost immediately after Cutler, who had been seen favoring his knee, and was completely ineffective, was benched for Todd Collins. Fans, who will call in sick tomorrow from work with a fever of 99.2, made Cutler the new Bartman. Media members who have never played football in their lives, solemnly proclaimed that you can't stay out of the game if you're still able to stand. And players, other professional football players, accused Cutler of "giving up" and not "gutting it out."
Let's be clear here: we're not debating Jay Cutler's toughness. What really matters is that his sitting out was considered almost universally a measure of his toughness, and that perceived lack of toughness is a bad thing.
At that moment, when Todd Collins lined up behind center, we didn't know a thing about Cutler's condition. Not a damn thing. (Parenthetically, sideline reporters are the most useless convention in sports. Normally they give us pointless fluff we don't need, and the one time the world wants to know what's going on on the sidelines, they were nowhere to be found.) Perhaps the lower leg was hanging on by a sinew. Perhaps the kneecap had shattered into bonedust. Perhaps he had an owie and needed a Band-Aid. We didn't know. All we knew is that his health, his safety, his comfort in the remaining 50 years of his life should have taken a backseat to him gritting it out and getting back on that field.
Toughness is a positive, right? We want our players to play through pain, for winning to be the only thing that matters. We do. And that's fine, even if we want that at their physical expense; football is human cockfighting. But no more pretending we give a toss about the combatants, when we — even other players, especially other players — heap criticism on them for eschewing a shot at glory for their own selfish needs like "wanting to be able to walk when they're 60."
Weekend Winner: The New Human Cockfighting
DeSean Jackson has memory loss. Dunta Robinson sustained a head injury of his own. Zack Follett got
This is why the concussion awareness the league is attempting to build is good, but insufficient. The culture of the game coming before the player is too entrenched: a warrior mentality that makes players who know they just got knocked dizzy try to hide it from their training staff. Yes, they know that going back in the game might have huge repercussions down the line. But they know that if they sit out, they will have to face their disapproving teammates in the locker room. Read about how Cutler's eyes welled with tears when told about his contemporaries' criticisms, and ask which means more to them in that moment.

Nassarius crebricostatus is een slakkensoort uit de familie van de Nassariidae. De wetenschappelijke naam van de soort is voor het eerst geldig gepubliceerd in 1911 door Schepman.

Nassariidae


Whatever recipe you go with, there are a few mistakes I made that I want to share with you.
I thought I was slicing them thinly but apparently not thin enough. As you'll see in a minute, if they're not WAFER thin, you won't be able to roll your puff pastry. Use a mandolin and save yourself a lot of grief.
Rolling out the puff pastry and cutting it into strips was very straight forward.
Second issue….and this is purely my opinion, but using just approcot preserves or marmalade, as the filling, didn't provide enough sweetness or flavor. Next time, I'm going to use a mixture of brown sugar, all spice and a little nutmeg. This will also help keep the puff pastry moist.
Ok, so here's where using a mandolin comes into play.
If they're not thin enough, they won't roll. Common sense…..but apparently I wasn't thinking.
Third and final thoughts on this recipe….the temp was fine (suggested 375) but I soon discovered my pretty little roses were burning. I highly recommend baking them on the lowest rack.
So a few tips, from me to you, to make these just a little tastier!!
Definitely check out this site for the perfect instructions.
