With this app you can launch paper airplanes around the world
The romantic idea and the fun game: just catch an airplane to find out where it comes from and in which corners of the world
There is a game so poetic around that it looks like a Pixar short film. Is called Paper Planes, and exactly what it sounds like: a way to ship paper airplanes around the world. a site to use in its mobile version(in that desktop asks WebGL): a web application that turns your smartphone on a sheet of paper.
To start, just open the homepage and fold the sheet that will appear: before doing so, insert the "stamp" of the location (if there is no localization activated, the service will use the IP to identify the reference area).
Once you have finished folding the sheet, your finger will guide you by following the classic procedure, the airplane will be ready to leave for the world. Need hold the phone and simulate the launch, just as it is done, or done, in reality. At that point, a screen will inform you along with how many others are flying around the world.
Warning: remember not to really launch it, the smartphone, but only to pretend.
Not finished here: for each sheet sent, another can be caught. The mechanism is the same: a screen now appears on the screen to catch a sheet among many, and with the movement you would do in reality you can harness an airplane.
Once taken, you can open it and find out where it comes from. Some did a few laps, others a lot. As of this writing, there are more than 600,000 airplanes in flight, which have rebounded between the United States, Brazil, Thailand, Australia, Singapore, Paris and even Pisa.
Hundreds of thousands of paper airplanes that bounce from one part of the world to another.
A romantic and in its own way relaxing idea, except when trying to take a sheet and discover all the places of origin: it is inevitable to go back in time and feel amazed children reading stamps from faraway places, wondering how they got there from so far.


According to the introduction, this thought-provoking and usable guide written by two experienced and well-regarded Australian practitioners, aims to promote reminiscence as a way of communicating that acknowledges the person as a spiritual being and seeks to engage the person in a more meaningful and personal way.
As can be seen from this initial assertion, this guide is based on a range of contested assumptions not least the nature of spirituality and the role that spiritual understandings play in understanding life, and the value and purpose of reminiscence. The underlying premise is that humanity is innately spiritual and that exploring the narrative of life and our own personal biography is therapeutic, especially for people with dementia.


Therefore, as in the case of the narrow range governor, these requirements are conveniently carried out by a motorised potentiometer suitably controlled by the operator. More recent practice employs the electronic equivalent of the motorised potentiometer (shown in Fig 2.14).
The speed control on the operator's terminal provides an input to two signal comparators C1 and C2, whose other input is equivalent to the demanded speed. If there is no difference between these two speed demands, neither oscillator is activated and the counter retains its existing count, giving the defined demand signal at the output of the digital-to-analogue converter (DAC). If the operator demands a higher terminal speed, the appropriate comparator activates its associated oscillator to increase the count until the DAC output reaches the terminal speed selected by the operator. The effect is that the DAC output is ramped-up until it reaches the terminal speed, the rate of increase being proportional to the oscillator frequency, set by the run-up rate control which is also on the operator's desk. Although typically there is a choice of five runup rates, the 'lower' oscillator is normally fixed to give a single fast rate-of-speed decrease.
The demanded speed is compared with the measured speed in the speed error amplifier, the gain of which is set such that a 10% change in valve position is achieved for about 1% change in turbine speed error. This implies a lower loop gain than the normal 4% droop of the narrow range governor, giving a large stability margin. The speed error amplifier acts through either the stop or governing valve controllers to give precise control of the actual turbine speed to that selected by the operator. Since the turbine-generator remains unsynchronised during run-up, the loading is light and with near normal steam pressures only a small proportion of the full valve opening is necessary to achieve run-up to speed. Often a steam demand limit is applied during run-up and if this limit is exceeded the operator is alerted to a possible fault.


Healthcare is a proper. We owe it to our fellow human beings. We would be some sorry bastards if we simply sat by and watched poor folks die preventable deaths. We owe it to our kids to create a responsible and steady system to guarantee these rights. The one way I see that you would possibly have free medical care is if it is heavily rationed. If you unfortunately get sick or hurt, guess who will find yourself paying in your costly medical bills? For those who can't pay, then your credit score might be shot.
I had gone to donate provides for use for first support and hand washing. I had gone with the intent to supply each instructor with a mini first assist package and each headmaster or headmistress with a big first support package and lots of bars of soap. As an alternative, I found that faculties don't have any water sources and teachers do not know tips on how to treat even a fundamental lower. I handed the cleaning soap over to the headmistresses and headmasters of all five faculties with information on the right way to create a hand washing facility. I learned that it will be greatest for the headmasters/mistresses to maintain all the primary support supplies of their workplaces in order that lecturers don't use them for their very own private need. I realized that hand washing and first support provides can only be used if people know easy methods to use them.
Here Fanon stops. He has shown the way forward: he's the spokesman of those that are combating and he has called for union, that is to say the unity of the African continent against all dissensions and all particularisms. He has gained his end. If he had wished to describe in all its particulars the historical phenomenon of decolonization he must have spoken of us; this is not in any respect his intention.


Red Trolley's GRAND Opening is This Saturday!!!
Come by Red Trolley Cake and Cone on Saturday July 5th for the OFFICIAL grand opening. There'll be fresh squeezed limeade for a quarter, organic hotdogs for a buck, a live band, a jumpy castle for the kids, lots of yummy ice cream and gelato (my favorite this week is chocolate hazelnut gelato) and a good time all around. It'll run from 11 a.m. til 11 p.m., and I'll be there the WHOLE time.
Address is 2637 W. 32nd Ave.
And then I spent two months helping them with the move. We prepared the old house for sale. We sorted through 40 years worth of belongings. We packed some of it. We gave some of it away. We sold a lot of it – in antique and "retro" shops on Broadway, on Craigslist, and finally at our family garage sale. (If there's a way to sell or donate household items, I know about it now.) We made decisions and chose mortgages and I did everything I could do to make this really enormous transition easier for them.
I got my real estate license six months later. And the first specialized designation I received was as a Senior Real Estate Specialist.
My dad served in Europe during World War II. My parents are part of the "Greatest Generation." I really love working with that generation, our "seasoned citizens." They're straightforward. They look you in the eye. Their handshake is their word.
I have made a special effort, as a real estate agent, to learn a lot about the senior market. I know the types of housing available to them. (I'm a big fan of the patio home concept!) I know the programs available to them. And I know the unique challenges they face in transitioning from a home shared with a family to a home that fits their needs in their retirement years.
I'd like to help your parents the way I helped my own!
Yes, Honey Canteloupe Sorbetto. The latest flavor at Red Trolley Cake and Cone. I just tasted it. It's beyond amazing. Tastes like a summer Sunday brunch, only better.
I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For This Awesome Ice Cream!!
So I'm sitting here at my new hangout, which also happens to be Denver's newest (and best) ice cream shop.
It's called Red Trolley Cake and Cone, it's located on 32nd Ave between Clay and Bryant, and (full disclosure), it's owned by my sister and brother-in-law.
I'd say this place is fabulous even if I wasn't related to the owners. The ice cream is homemade, created right here on the premises by one Denver's top pastry chefs. And the flavors!! Oh . . . my . . . gosh. There's the standard vanilla, strawberry and chocolate, of course. (The chocolate gelato is to die for.) But then things get interesting. As I sit here looking at the freezer display, I see ice cream flavors like Cassia Cinnamon, Praline Cookies and Cream, White Chocolate Chip Mint and Bing Cherry Cheesecake, as well as Lemon Meringue Pie Sherbet (with real pieces of pie crust!) In the gelato case, I see twelve different flavors – flavors like Banana Yogurt, Green Apple Sorbetto, Orange Cream, Wildberry Sorbetto, and my personal favorite, Colorado Honey Almond Orange.
There are malts, shakes, sundaes – and root beer floats that taste like they did when we were kids.
There's a reason for that. Did you ever notice that pop (soda, soft drinks, whatever you call them) started tasting different when they stopped sweetening them with real sugar and instead started using high fructose corn syrup? It leaves a weird aftertaste. Not here. Not in anything. Nothing here contains any hydrogenated oils, artificial flavors or colors, or high fructose corn syrup, . It's all real food. Really. In fact, they make the waffle cones right here on the premises for that very reason – they couldn't find a supplier who didn't use the bad stuff, so they put the pastry chef on the job and started making their own.
Let me tell you, you can taste the difference.
So here I am on a Tuesday afternoon, with my sweet little one year old niece Audrey on my lap, working. I plan to be here a lot. You might even find me behind the counter occasionally. And, to insure that I still fit through the doorway on my future visits, I'm availing myself of the greatest invention in the world – the Tiny Trolley. It's a tiny little cone of ice cream, and it only costs a buck. Great for little kids, and for their aunts who want to be able to hang out here regularly without having to buy a new wardrobe.
So come on by and check it out. The address is 2639 W. 32nd Ave. It's the very red building on the north side of the street between Bryant and Clay. Hours are Sunday thru Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Forbes magazine just released their list of the 10 best cities for home sellers in 2008. And guess which market came in at #7? Our very own Denver!
To assess each market, Forbes looked at unsold vacancy rates, construction starts (to see if a lot of new construction would be cropping up and making vacancy rates worse), job creation (to see if buyers would have jobs, so they could buy houses) and Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae's new conforming loan limits (to see if those buyers could get loans without having to pay premium "jumbo" mortgage rates).
Apparently Denver looks good. We have a 3% unsold vacancy rate, which is great news because last year our rate was 23%. A 20% vacancy drop is a very, very good thing. We've also seen a 2% jump in new jobs, and -- best of all -- a 49% cut in construction starts. This makes me happy. Less new homes springing up means less inventory on the market, and more buyers gravitating toward purchasing existing homes.
And, if you'd like anecdotal evidence to back up the good news, I listed a 1970's Littleton townhouse a few weeks ago, and it went under contract within a week.
If you really want to feel better about our market, compare it to some of the riskiest markets. Phoenix, for example. When I lived there in the late '90's, housing prices were skyrocketing. Now they've tanked. There are over 53,000 homes currently on the market there. Fifty three thousand. That's over a five-fold increase over the past three years. Can you imagine competing with 52,999 other homes to sell yours? And the Catch-22 is that the local economy is built heavily on construction jobs. If construction starts decline (which they really need to do, with 53,000 existing homes in current inventory), then construction jobs are lost and buyers fall out of the market. It's tough to win in a scenario like that.
Yep, we've got it pretty good here in Colorful Colorado!
So if you want to sell your house without letting it go at a foreclosure price, it's got to be in better shape than a foreclosure. Buyers might overlook bent screens, dinged woodwork and broken shingles if they think they're getting a great deal. But at market price, they don't like to see that stuff.
My favorite part of this has to do with smells. I'm a freak about this. When I'm with buyers, we usually give nicknames to each house we see. It's easier and more fun to remember a home as "Big Plaid Wallpaper House" than as "You know, the one on Vance Court. Two story, blue trim, 2000 square feet . . ."
And when a house smells, guess what name it gets. "Smelly Cat House." Or "Weird Cologne Trying To Cover Up Smelly Cat House." A bad smell will drive buyers away. So will a weird smell that's clearly an attempt to cover up a bad smell.
If you're selling a house that contains smelly pets, a smoker, weird or aromatic foods, or anything else with an overwhelming olifactory presence, you need to do some work. Get rid of the source of the smell. (Seriously, it's best if Kitty lives elsewhere for a while.) And then clean or get rid of everything that harbors the smell.
I know it's hard to tell what your own house smells like. Ask a neighbor. Ask your realtor.
And take the answer very, very seriously.
I just read a Christian Science Monitor article that said that the slump in the real estate market is forcing many realtors out of the business.
The evidence was mostly anecdotal , with very few actual statistics to back up this theory of mass exodus. The only actual figure I saw was that Oregon Association of Realtors reports an 11% drop in their membership over the past year. Aside from that, it was a lot of talk about "experts" who say that realtors are leaving the business in droves.
It's not particularly surprising, and not a particularly bad thing, as far as I'm concerned.
When the market is hot, everybody decides they want to sell real estate. Well, not everybody, literally, but a lot of people. It looks like easy money, and people want a piece of that. So the rolls of the licensees are clogged with agent "speculators" looking to make a fast buck somehow.
But then the going gets a little rougher. And guess what happens? The Johnny-Come-Lately's bail out. They were never serious about real estate as a career they might have to work at. They wanted the money to be easy.
Quite frankly, I prefer to work in a market that's a little more challenging. It cleans up the industry. The agents who jumped into hot markets looking to make a quick buck are generally not good agents, and they're generally not a lot of fun to work with. Their incompetence contaminates any transaction they touch. A good agent knows how to make a "go" out of any market. And in a rough market I'm a lot more likely to look across the closing table at a strong, capable real estate professional.
The market in Denver is not "hot" by any means, but it's not free-falling, either. It's flat. And that hasn't hurt me yet. My business has grown every year since I started, and I don't expect this year to be any different. Sure, I have to work a little harder. But I don't mind that at all. It hones my skills. It helps me to grow as an agent and find more and better ways to serve my clients.
So I'm not going anywhere.
Blogroll, Blogroll, How's the Market?, How's the Market?
A Blog that Writes Itself?
I was reading Realtor magazine last night, and I saw an interesting little piece. Apparently there is a new service available to Realtors. There is a company -- I don't remember the name -- that will, for $399 a year, set up a blog for you. But wait -- there's more! Not only do they do the initial set-up. They also provide content! Yes, using "ghostwriters", they will provide daily posts to the blog -- newsy little real estate tidbits, apparently. The actual blog owner can chime in periodically if he or she so desires. But his or her actual participation is optional.
Okay, so call me crazy. Isn't the whole idea of a blog that the blogger gets to communicate with the readers (and sometimes vice versa)? I thought the point of this exercise is supposed to be that you get to know me, not my hired ghostwriters.
I know I don't post here as often as I'd like. But at least when I do, you can be sure that it's actually me, not some recent college grad from Schenectady working in a cubicle.
A similar pet peeve involves "canned" newsletters that are available to realtors and other professionals. I guess they serve a purpose, keeping agents in touch with their clients while (hopefully) providing useful information. But if I'm going to send a newsletter to my clients (which I hope to do in the near future) I want to write it myself. I couldn't send out some pre-packaged product and try to pass it off as my own, even if I wanted to. For better or for worse, my own voice comes through in my writing. It would take about two sentences for my clients to say "She didn't write this!"
I post my own signs. I negotiate my own deals. And I write my own blog.
Who'd have thought a zoning dispute could be so fascinating?
So there's been a battle over zoning going on in the West Highlands/Sloan's Lake neighborhood in northwest Denver. And it's really quite interesting.
The neighborhood sits just a few miles west of downtown Denver. And it's made up of a very interesting hodge-podge of architectural styles. The first homes were built around the turn of the last century. Many more were built in the 1920's and '30's, as Italian immigrants to Colorado discovered the northwest part of town and made it the "Little Italy" of Denver. The western and southern edges of the neighborhood (especially Sloan's Lake) saw most of their development in the 1940's and '50's.
It's an interesting neighborhood. Like all areas, it's gone through stages. In the latter half of the 20th century, the Highlands saw significant decline as Denver-ites headed for the newly build suburbs west and south of town. But in the 1990's, neighborhoods like the Highlands -- with their quirky architecture and central shopping districts, located just minutes from downtown -- were rediscovered. The "main street" district at 32nd and Lowell was revitalized. Homes were purchased and updated. Tops were popped.
And, inevitably, old houses were scraped away to make room for newer, bigger, fancier homes.
What's unique about the West Highlands is that the homes are small, but many of the lots are big. And many of those lots are zoned R2, which means that two residences can be built on a single lot (as in a duplex or a single family home with a mother-in-law apartment). Which has made the Highlands very attractive to developers who can tear down a single home and build a duplex in its place.
And thus the battle. The people who want to "preserve" the character of the neighborhood proposed that many of the properties zoned R2 be changed to R1. They argued that "Blueprint Denver" (a 20 year growth plan adopted by the city in 2002) had designated the Highlands an "area of stability" and that the low population density and character of the neighborhood needed to be protected by uniformly zoning the area R1. Opponents, including developers (of course), the National Association of Realtors and others, countered that tearing down old, dilapidated housing to build new homes was revitalizing the neighborhood,that that R2 zoning had been in place since 1957 and was obviously central to our "forefathers" intent for the area, and that changing the zoning wouldn't impact scraping at all -- it would only mean that the replacement homes would be single family residences instead of duplexes. Most important, they said, was that the zoning change would affect the property values of the homeowners involved, many of whom owned property attractive to developers because of its R2 zoning. From what I can tell, property owners themselves were divided on the issue. My guess would be that there were slightly more in favor than opposed. I'm also guessing that those opposing the proposal were largely the owners of older, more dilapidated structures, while those supporting it were living in the lovelier, statelier homes on blocks filled with the same.
Honestly, I can see this one both ways. On one hand, I was driving down Grove Street in the Highlands (just east of the area of proposed change), looking at the lovely brick 1920's bungalows all lined up, and thinking what a shame it is that, in a generation, this block could be completely replaced by modern structures.
On the other hand, not all of the Highlands is made up of lovely bungalows. A LOT of these homes were clearly not built to be long-lasting structures. They're small houses that were built by poor people to provide them shelter at the moment. And, 100 years later, it shows. Today, many of those homes are owned by people of limited means. For many of these people, selling to a developer at a good price will allow them to pay medical bills, get out of debt and even to retire, where they otherwise could not.
I sold one of those homes just last fall. It built in the late 1800's -- a very small house sitting on at 6200 square foot lot. And this house was not particularly worthy of "preservation." It was little and run down and not built to last. Because of the lot and the R2 zoning, the house sold in one day for over our asking price. And that financial windfall saved my client from a crushing load of debt brought on by her husband's illness.
Sure, there are a lot of homes in the Highlands I'd like to see spared. But first of all, who am I to dictate that to the owners of those homes? And second, zoning changes wouldn't do much to change it. They may slow it a little, because duplexes are attractive to developers who can sell two homes instead of one. But in the long run, it would just alter the demographic of the neighborhood to large single-family homes.
If there's going to be scraping in the Highlands, I'd really rather see duplexes on those lot than those huge, million-dollar plus single family homes that are springing up in Bonnie Brae and other older neighborhoods. The beauty of the Highlands neighborhood has always been it affordability. It's close to downtown, and yet accessible to people of lesser "means." Granted that has changed somewhat since the rediscovery of the area in the 1990's. And granted that a $400,000 duplex isn't exactly "affordable" to many Denver residents. But it's a lot MORE affordable than the seven figure McMansions that would otherwise be going up.
The initial rezoning proposal apparently went down in flames at the City Council meeting on January 16th. But I'm guessing this is just the first round. Of course, both sides have their web sites, if you'd like to learn more. www.rightzoningnorthwestdenver.com is the "pro-zoning change" site, while www.nodownzoning.com is for opponents of the idea.
Remodeling to Sell? Think Twice . . .
Well, it's out. The annual "Cost vs. Value" report for 2007. It shows how much common remodeling projects cost, and how much they increase the value of a home. Results are divided by region, with some particularly common projects broken down by metro area.
Guess what? In the Mountain Region, not a single remodeling project recouped its cost. In other words, remodel if you want to live in it and enjoy it. But don't remodel to make money if you're ready to sell. It apparently doesn't pay these days.
Some examples: Replacing exterior siding was, nationally, a very popular option. Still didn't pay for itself in most places, but the national average gave it an 88% return on investment. In Denver, only a 69% return.
Adding a deck? Cost will be roughly $10,182. And it'll add just under $8000 to the value of your home. New windows? 75% return.
And then there's the old standard favorite, the kitchen remodel. It'll cost around $20,000, but only add about $15,000 to the value of the home.
Why so little return from remodeling these days? Basically, construction prices are going up and home prices are remaining stagnant. So you're paying for the increasingly expensive commodity, but not seeing a parallel increase on the return side.
Note that this is referring to remodeling jobs, not smaller "facelift" type projects. Painting, new carpet -- projects like that are inexpensive, and tend to give a bigger bang for the buck at closing time. They change the "feel" of a house without the high price tag of a remodel.
So when it comes to projects that help a house to sell, think small and pretty.

Berkeley's Blockchain Microbond Could Spark A Muni Market Revolution
DebtwireContributor
By Maria Amante
Berkeley, California, the progressive playground, is taking steps to pioneer the first application of blockchain technology in the municipal bond market that could transform the industry.
Effectively, Berkeley wants to crowdsource funding for community improvements. But those contributors wouldn't be making a donation, like with GoFundMe, – they'd ultimately receive their money back, with interest.
Muni bonds are the lifeblood of our communities today. Clean drinking water, roads, bridges, public transportation, and even stadiums are built with funding from the $3.8 trillion municipal bond market. Cities, states, towns, counties all issue debt to finance projects to provide the services we use every day.
Typically, munis are not a direct-to-consumer product. For the average individual investor, they're difficult to understand. Munis are less than half the size of the corporate bond market, but there are 1.5 million different types of muni bonds – 20 times the number of corporate bonds. The lack of standardization makes munis difficult for consumers to research and identify suitable bonds to purchase.
They're often purchased by households and nonprofit organizations. Although individuals may own bonds issued by their community, the average investor doesn't know what projects the proceeds support or how the money is put to work.

How to Buy Bonds: A Primer for New Investors
Trading in the secondary market must be executed by third-party dealers who handle nearly all transactions. That dynamic costs consumers more – retail investors end up overpaying and issuers lose value that could go toward their projects. Pricing inefficiencies costed investors $10 billion in price mark ups between 2005 and 2013.
Blockchain technology, or a distributed digital ledger, will allow for cost-savings and increased disclosure of secondary market trades and ongoing bond administration. It would change the way munis do business and could make them a direct-to-consumer product.
University of California, Berkeley Campus aerial with the city of Berkeley (in the San Francisco Bay ... [+] Area) in the background.
What Berkeley's planning could change that. First, by using blockchain, the bonds could be sold direct to the consumer. It would also lower a major barrier to entry for muni investments – munis are frequently sold in denominations of at least $5,000, and Berkeley is considering "microbonds" with denominations as low as $100 to maximize investor participation. Other cities, including Denver, have already issued "minibonds" – a term synonymous microbonds.
Berkeley's $2-$5 million microbond issuance is intended to finance new fire and garbage trucks for the city. It's operating under the premise that investors will want to make investments in their community and visualize that impact on the community. The message, at face-value, is appealing: make investments in your community and make money.
On a larger scale, it could help support initiatives to address housing, climate change and other infrastructure needs – all the typical uses of muni bonds. It broadens the audience and speaks to the growing desire among investors to make socially conscious investments.
Muni bonds are generally considered a safe investment, but many investors are averse to risk, slow to adapt and resistant to change.
"Governments are still figuring out how to treat this stuff, it's untested and inherently risky because we don't know how exactly it will be regulated," said Julie Hamill, attorney at Harris Bricken. Hamill is the author of a white paper for the Government Finance Officers Association about blockchain technology.
Berkeley is a wealthy, populous city with the resources and an open-minded outlook, unafraid of new ideas or concepts – so it could be better positioned to make these kinds of moves toward blockchain than most.
If Berkeley moves forward with the transaction, it will be the first muni bond issuance using blockchain, and probably not the last.

Surgicogenomics
On the cutting edge of medicine today is a field called surgicogenomics that is emerging from the intersection of genetics and stem cell research and surgical practice.
While the surgeons of history had to rely on their eyes alone, and those of the 20th century saw through the lens of medical imaging, surgeons in the present Genomic Era can look at their patients on the molecular level, examining the genes that provide a complete set of instructions for the creation and functioning of their bodies. Based on this information, surgeons can more accurately determine when and how to operate, avoid potential complications, and predict the outcome of treatment.
Moreover, today's surgeon can draw from recent amazing successes in animal studies demonstrating the use of stem cells in therapeutic transplantation for the purpose of curing a wide range of especially difficult genetic diseases, including heart disease, Parkinson's disease, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. In particular, the use of patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSC), just discovered in 2007, will allow the surgeon to perform transplants without the threat of immune rejection.
The complete map of the human genome was finished in 2003 by a private enterprise headed by Craig Venter in collaboration with the federally and internationally funded Human Genome Project. The precise sequence of the 3.2 billion nucleotide base pairs that make up this human genetic blueprint now guide the hand of today's surgeon and will point the way toward unknown territory—the New World of tomorrow's regenerative and stem cell medicine.

Current Career: General Education Officer, Ministry of Education in Singapore - I am currently working under the Ministry of Education in Singapore as a General Education Officer teaching English Language and English Literature mostly to the Secondary 3 students at the Kranji Secondary School.
Why I think I'm living a great life: I have the opportunity to work and live in another country learning new cultures, tasting different foods, and meeting many amazing people on the way.
How I got here: After graduation, I volunteered at Aston Meadow Elementary Public School (YRDSB) and Faywood Arts Based Curriculum Elementary Public School (TDSB). Through networking, I was invited by a fellow teacher from the TDSB's Welcome Centre to teach overseas at a summer camp in Guangzhou, China. This was my first step towards a career in travelling and teaching overseas.
What I did when I felt unsure/lost about my career direction: During my first week teaching at Kranji Secondary School, I experienced difficulties with classroom management towards the Normal Academic (Applied) level classes. My experience in those classes really made me question my abilities as a teacher and re-evaluate my career goals (to gain teaching experience in Singapore). I spoke with my fellow colleagues: buddy teachers, mentor teacher, induction mentor, and other foreign teachers; and also my family through Skype, and was able to develop my next steps on how to overcome this cultural shock.
Thing that made the biggest difference: The biggest difference I experienced while working as a teacher in Singapore is the staff support at my school. As a foreign teacher you have to overcome culture shock and homesickness; while also jumping in the middle of a school term, taking over classes and teaching a completely different school curriculum. Without the staff support and guidance, it would have been a much more painful learning curve in my life.
How I'm using my degree in my career: As an English and Drama teacher specialized in the Intermediate and Senior division from York University, I am currently teaching English Language and English Literature to mostly Secondary 3 students (age 15); and hopefully will eventually use my Drama teachable towards the school's Drama Club.
What I've learned: Know the age levels you would like to teach and the time you would like to enter the school year (example: Singapore schools begins in January, but I began teaching in March). Understand the culture of the school and find ways to work with the system. Avoid having such high expectations and be more open-minded when encountering difficult situations.

Nothing say's Happy Father's Day like a homemade card! Let's put a spin on it this year and capture Daddy and son(s) foot prints. We can't spoil the surprise, so let's use Dads boot print! The original craft and poem was spotted on Nichole Ann's blog. Pop over and see her beautiful print too!
Print poem on white paper.
Glue onto colored construction paper to create a bright border. Tip: If you only have standard sized construction paper just scale the poem size down and cut it smaller than 8 1/2 x 11.
Now, time to paint! Add paint to paper plates. Using a large sponge brush, paint the bottom of Dads boot with a washable paint and press onto the poem.
Tips: Lighter colors work well, as you're covering the majority of the poem. Also, a construction boot with minimal paint works best — tread is higher so it's easier to see the poem.
Next, using another color, gently press your child's foot into the paint. Stamp over the boot print. Again, use minimal paint so it doesn't get all globby.

Hussain al Nowais is the managing director and chairman at Emirates holdings in Abu Dhabi. He has a lot of experience in different sectors such as the banking sector, construction, real estate and investment among others and has been a global industrialist and non-business strategist. He has become one very experienced and skilled individual and someone to look up to from the experience gathered in the various sectors in business. He has been an inspiration to many and there are many important lessons that people have drawn from him.
For any leader, vision is very important for example a CEO. You must be able to have full knowledge of the business from the inside out when you're a leader. You should know exactly where the company is headed and where they ought to be. It is until then that they'll be able to guide employees and those under them on how things should be handled. The cause of action to be taken and decisions to be made is dictated by the vision. Through this the company and everyone in them gets a sense of direction.
Another great quality is respect. When you respect someone they also respect you in return and therefore respect is one thing that is two-way. Even though your employees are under you and under your command, it is what is good to respect them. This is very important because instead of commanding respect you and your respect and peaceful coexistence is fostered between you and your employees. As they are relating among themselves you will be a good example to them that they will emulate.
Even as you scale up the ladder, one thing that has also been pointed out is learning from people. Even from people who were below as for instance employees, we always learn from those people around us. It is important that you continue learning from people and not to despise anyone even as you scale up the career ladder. Make sure that you apply and put into practice whatever you learn so that it may transform you and seems to be knowledge.

The "hacks and hunter combined", also known as the "chevaux de selle", was an equestrian event at the 1900 Summer Olympics. It is unknown how many riders competed. The top four placers are known, as are about half the remaining riders who competed, including three women (Elvira Guerra, Jane Moulin and Blanche de Marcigny). As an upper limit, 50 men and 1 woman are listed as entrants in the Official Report, but it is almost certain that not all actually competed.

Sources prior to 1996 often did not list this event as Olympic. The IOC website currently has affirmed a total of 95 medal events, after accepting, as it appears, the recommendation of Olympic historian Bill Mallon regarding events that should be considered "Olympic". These additional events include the hacks and hunter combined event. (Mallon and de Wael had included this event in their Olympic lists.)

Background

No equestrian events were held at the first modern Olympics in 1896. Five events, including this one, were featured in 1900. Only the show jumping competition would ever be held again after that; this was the only appearance of the hacks and hunter combined.

Competition format

The contest consisted of performing both on the flat at various gaits as well as executing two low jumps. Competitors were scored for the quality of the execution of the routine.

Moving significant furniture is a tough job that carries dangers for your wellness, dwelling, other furnishings and other folks as properly. Being aware of what to do and how to prepare for moving substantial and/ or heavy furniture by your self is a must if you want to have this job done safely. No matter if you are moving furniture to storage or to your new home, by yourself or with furniture movers, it is a difficult issue to do, specifically if organized by a non-qualified in the field like you. Hence, we will now show the signifies by way of which you can move heavy furnishings with ease by oneself or by hiring movers. Crucial: You are strongly advised to have at least a single buddy (preferably two) to assistance you move actually heavy furnishings pieces. Try to remember that that challenging process is no joke, and the risks of moving heavy furnishings with one particular person are too a lot of to count and even predict. In case you have no close friends to count on at the moment, never hesitate to hire the pros for very best benefits.
Furniture sliders. These intelligent tools to move heavy furnishings will come in differ handy on your moving day. The pieces of tough plastic with a hard rubber surface will let you slide your huge and heavy pieces effortlessly across hardwood floors, ceramic tiles, and even carpets. Just place a slider beneath every single leg or corner of the furnishings piece you're about to move and you are going to be capable to slide the heavy object conveniently and safely with minimum work. In reality, all that furniture sliders do is minimize or just about do away with the friction between your heavy furnishings pieces and the floor, therefore maintaining things a lot easier for you and safer for your house. You can obtain such sliders from your regional property goods retailer or directly from a nearby moving enterprise. If you can not truly afford them, you may perhaps attempt working with Frisbees, pieces of thick cardboard, or sturdy moving blankets.
Use a hand truck to move furniture by wheeling the platform below the piece of furniture you happen to be attempting to move. A hand truck will operate properly for smaller sized bookcases, tables, and dressers. Lean the furnishings against the hand truck and tilt the handle toward you. The furnishings will lean with the hand truck and you'll be able to wheel it around. This is considerably less difficult than pushing it.
Hopefully, by now you will know perfectly properly how to pack your furnishings for moving – how to create an effective furniture moving approach, how to prepare your own furnishings for moving, and how to guard the pieces by means of clever furniture packing tricks that function. If you have rooms with hardwood floors, then understanding how to move heavy furniture devoid of scratching the floor is critical. The issue to remember here is that sliding large and heavyweight pieces of furniture along hardwood floors is not usually advisable due to the fact even sliders might leave marks on the floor.
Be pretty careful with hand trucks. If you try to move a piece of furnishings that is too big it could fall and crush you. Your strength will be keeping the furniture upright. Place your sliders under the corners of the furniture. Lift each and every corner and put a slider underneath so that the smooth edge is towards the floor. This will reduce the friction and make moving significantly less complicated. Moving straps. These lifting straps connect to your shoulders and excel at taking the major weight of the furniture piece off your back and transferring that weight to your a lot stronger muscle groups. In case you have prior practical experience with moving straps and know how to use them, you can rent or acquire them from your local movers.
When moving heavy furniture at dwelling, stairs will surely prove to be the ultimate challenge for you. Oftentimes, the weight of your pieces is not the only thing to worry about – their shapes and sizes come all of a sudden into play as nicely. When some kinds of carpets will let you slide heavy furnishings pieces to some extent, you should not rely on that to complete the activity at hand. Large furnishings with legs such as desks or tables can't be slid on carpet on their own as the legs have a tendency to dig into the fabric and resist any attempts to be pushed or pulled across the floor.
So far, so superior. As soon as your super heavy household items are prepared to be moved, here's the gear you will essentially require to get the job performed. Use a shoulder dolly. These are lifting straps that connect to your shoulders and assistance take the weight off your back. They assistance you use your stronger muscle groups although also providing you added leverage. You can buy a shoulder dolly on line.
Significant: You are strongly advised to have at least a single friend (preferably two) to assistance you move truly heavy furniture pieces. Remember that that difficult process is no joke, and the risks of moving heavy furniture with 1 individual are too several to count and even predict. In case you have no pals to count on at the moment, don't hesitate to employ the pros for finest results.

Throop University in Pasadena (1893) courtesy of the California State Library.
On November 2, 1891, classes began at Throop University—the school that would become Caltech—in a rented building in downtown Pasadena. Founder Amos Throop was a Universalist preacher and abolitionist politician who made his fortune in lumber and real estate in Chicago before moving to Los Angeles, where he bought orchards and farms, in 1880. His school offered courses in literature, music, art, elocution, stenography, typewriting, and law—with only six faculty. Throop University had trouble recruiting students, so its trustees renamed it Throop Polytechnic Institute in 1893 and reorganized it to train Pasadena's youth, from elementary school through college, for factory work in an industrial society. Although namesake Amos Throop passed away in 1894, over the decades that followed Throop Polytechnic Institute formed alliances with influential scientists—astronomer George Hale, physicist Robert Millikan, and chemist Arthur Noyes—and reinvented itself again as a pioneering science and engineering university, renamed the California Institute of Technology in 1920.
Historian Peter S. Collopy is the University Archivist at the California Institute of Technology.


When our Lord spoke to His disciples about His forthcoming death 'they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him'. They could not fit such an irrevocable happening into the scheme of their hopes and probably thought they had misunderstood Him. Yet later they were to proclaim this event with triumph and joy, in their preaching and in the Lord's Supper.
There are many aspects of Christ's death, but in the present article we shall confine ourselves for the sake of clarity to two: Reconciliation and Propitiation.
Man needs to be reconciled to God. God must be propitiated. The two things must not be confused, for they are quite different. God does not need to be reconciled to man since He loves man. Man is not to be propitiated since God never wronged him. In the death of Christ we find the whole problem solved - man reconciled to God and God propitiated.
Paul uses this word of a wife who has left her husband. For a time she hates him and finds it impossible to live with him, but later she is 'reconciled'. Since the Fall man has hated God. His thoughts, his actions, show that he is opposed to his Maker, Col. 1. 21. Nor has man himself ever made any move that indicates a change of mind. Religious persons may seem to do so but in fact their enmity is still present beneath the surface and appears when God's estimate of their righteousness is declared.
This is the word which offends some modern theologians and has been left out of the New English Bible. If they had found some clearer modern equivalent for it we should not complain, but to translate it 'remedy' is very unsatisfactory. Christ 'is the propitiation for our sins'.
Propitiation presupposes wrath. It is this which men dislike. But God was angry with Adam and drove him out from the garden. 'God is angry . . . every day', Ps. 7. 11. Yet He loved Adam and still loves the world. It is contrary to experience to say that love cannot co-exist with anger.
God's wrath is caused by sin. He sees the order of His universe wrecked by sin. He sees the clear lessons of creation perverted, and therefore 'the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold down the truth in unrighteousness'.
God must be propitiated. He is altogether holy and His holiness has been offended by sin. He can have no dealings with sin. Sin must be punished. 'The wages of sin is death.' The death of Christ provides the essential propitiation. His soul was 'made an offering for sin'. Punishment fell upon His innocent body, for He was wounded, bruised, chastised. 'He is the propitiation for our sins.' 'It pleased the Lord to bruise him.' Not that God took a malicious delight in ill-treating His Son. But He was pleased to do that which would achieve our salvation even though it involved the suffering of 'the just for the unjust'.
It is easy to caricature the doctrine of propitiation. But the simple facts are that sin had to be put away before God could cease to be angry with us, and this has been done by the death of the Lord Jesus.
The propitiation which has been made is for the whole world. Language could not be plainer: 'He is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world', 1 John 2. 2 (r.v.). We can proclaim to all the world that Christ crucified is the basis on which God can be approached. It is not that their sins have been forgiven, but that Christ died for them, so that if they will trust Him they may join the number of those who can say 'Christ died for our sins'.

OSHA Issues Revised COVID-19 Guidance: What it Means and What's Next
February 1, 2021 February 2, 2021 John Ho COVID-19
Almost immediately after taking office, President Biden issued an Executive Order requiring OSHA to publish revised COVID-19 guidance for employers, among other things. This past Friday, OSHA published such revised guidance which can be found here.
The revised guidance contains many suggestions that employers are already familiar with from other sources including prior OSHA guidance, CDC recommendations, and various state executive orders although more comprehensive in certain areas.
The guidance focuses on assisting employers with implementing a workplace COVID-19 prevention program which OSHA states "is the most effective way to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 at work." OSHA continues by stating an effective program should include, among other things:
Assignment of a workplace coordinator;
Conducting a hazard assessment with employee involvement;
Identification of measures that will limit the spread of COVID-19 utilizing a hierarchy of controls;
Accommodation issues for workers at higher risk for severe illness;
Communication and training for employees in a language they understand;
Instructing employees who are infected or potentially infected to stay at home and isolate and quarantine while minimizing the negative impact of quarantine and isolation of employees;
Performing enhanced cleaning and disinfection after people with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 has been in the facility;
Improving ventilation systems;
Ensuring employees are protected from retaliation for reporting COVID-19 concerns and setting up anonymous complaint protocols;
Addressing other applicable OSHA standards such as PPE.
The revised guidance now also states that employers should provide all workers with face coverings (unless their work requires a respirator) and also states that other individuals at the workplace should be required to wear them unless 2 years old or under or such individuals are actively engaged in eating and drinking.
In addition, the revised guidance also states employers should make COVID-19 vaccines available at no cost to eligible employees and to provide information and training on the benefits and safety of vaccinations. It further reminds employers that they should not distinguish between workers who are vaccinated and those who are not complying with protective measures such as wearing face coverings or maintaining social distancing as there is no current evidence that vaccines prevent transmissions of the virus from person-to-person.
Although the revised guidance remains just that – guidance as opposed to having the force of law, it does foreshadow that COVID-19 emergency temporary standards are likely forthcoming and some of the issues such standards might address, e.g., mandating face coverings and making vaccines available to employees. Indeed, President Biden's Executive Order also directed OSHA to consider whether such emergency temporary standards are necessary. Recently, Virginia became the first state to pass permanent COVID-19 workplace safety and health standards and it also seems likely that Virginia's model could be relied on if OSHA determines such emergency temporary standards are necessary at the federal level. A copy of Virginia's law can be accessed here.
If history is any indication, it seems likely that under the current administration OSHA will move from relying on voluntary compliance to stricter regulation and more aggressive enforcement, particularly with COVID-19. It would thus be prudent for employers to carefully review the revised guidance to ensure their prevention program meets OSHA expectations.

About The Bhagavad Gita
The Bhagavad Gita is the most famous poem in all of Hindu literature and part of the Mahabharata, the ancient Indian epic masterpiece. The Gita (in Sanskrit, "Song of the Lord") consists of a dialogue between Lord Krishna and Prince Arjuna on the morning of a climactic battle. Krishna provides Arjuna with the spiritual means to understand his own nature so that he can take action and prevail. However, the larger canvas painted in the poem is that of the moral universe of Hinduism. As translator Eknath Easwaran, one of the world's premier teachers of meditation and spirituality, notes "The Gita does not present a system of philosophy. It offers something to every seeker after God, of whatever temperament, by whatever path. The reason for this universal appeal is that it is basically practical: it is a handbook for self-realization and a guide to action."

Coroner Rules Rapper Juice WRLD Died From Accidental Drug Overdose
People Reckon This Dog Is Looking For Its Owner Every Night
Stewart Perrie in Community
Last updated 2:12 PM, Friday August 10 2018 GMT+1
'Jurassic Bark' is widely considered one of the most heart-breaking Futurama episodes. It shows Fry and his beloved dog Seymour being the best of friends, until the protagonist gets cryogenically frozen, leaving the pooch to sit and wait for him every day in the same spot until he dies.
Well, that could be happening in the real world.
A dog has been captured rocking up to the Kanjurmarg Station in Mumbai, India every night around 11pm. The animal waits for a train to arrive and then seemingly looks for someone to get off. When the person it's looking for doesn't come, the train departs the station and the dog runs after it.
Train staff say the pooch has been doing this every night at the same time for at least two months, sparking speculation that it's looking for a long-lost owner.
Local Sameer Thorat captured the footage and told the Mumbai Mirror: "I spotted the dog while returning from work.
"The way it waits for the late-night trains and tries to peek inside the ladies coach, it seems it is searching for a particular person who either fed it regularly or left it behind."

The dog has four young pups to feed, but it seems as though this nightly routine has drawn fans from far and wide to feed and care for her.
A cobbler on the platform has also told the newspaper: "The dog has been here for quite some time. But lately many people have been enquiring about it and taking its pictures and videos.
"It is not very active during the day, though on a few occasions, it has tried to chase morning trains."
Videos of the dog have gone viral on social media and people are tagging the transport minister Piyush Goyal to see what he can do. Another campaign has been sparked online to reunite the dog with its former owner or at least try to find the person who used to feed it regularly - as those are the two main theories at the moment.
Savita Mahajan coordinates a volunteer's group for protecting animals and says: "I feed around 160 dogs and cats between Bandra and Jogeshwari every day. My experience tells me the dog at Kanjurmarg is looking for a commuter who used to provide it food regularly but has now stopped."
Hopefully they find the owner because we can't deal with that heart breaking scene happening every night.

A delegation of Taiwanese military officers visited Washington this month and met with officials from several U.S. government agencies in the most extensive contact of its kind in more than two decades.
The 20-member delegation, headed by Taiwanese air force Gen. Lin Yu-bao and comprising mainly mid-level officers holding ranks of major or colonel, met with officials from the State Department, the National Security Council, the intelligence community and the Pentagon during the 10-day stay in the nation's capital, according to participants.
The group also held talks with members of both major political parties on Capitol Hill and stopped in Honolulu to meet officials from the U.S. military's Pacific Command headquarters, known as CINCPAC, before returning to Taipei, the Taiwanese capital.
The delegation's visit was unofficial--it was hosted not by the U.S. government but by two private organizations, the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service and the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Both are based in Washington.
Still, it marked the first time since the U.S. severed ties with Taiwan in favor of China in 1978 that a group of Taiwanese officers has traveled to Washington to discuss substantive policy issues. The only other contact Taiwanese officers have in Washington is a brief, highly restricted annual trip limited to Taipei's annual request for arms.
"On the policy level, the strategic level, it's the very first dialogue of its kind between us," said Andrew Yang, secretary-general of the Chinese Council of Advanced Policy Studies in Taipei and one of two civilians who made the trip. "It's only a trial step, and the [Defense Ministry] here will review the results to see how to proceed, but I think it went well."
Beijing strenuously opposes U.S.-Taiwan military contacts, arguing that they constitute interference in China's internal affairs. The stance reflects Beijing's view that Taiwan is a part of China that must one day be reunited with the mainland.
Because of this sensitivity, the visit of the Taiwanese military officers unfolded quietly, with little publicity. Aside from the participants, few were apparently aware that it had taken place.
"I knew nothing about it," said Kenneth Lieberthal, who coordinated China policy in the Clinton White House.
Clearly aware that the trip constituted a political gamble, American organizers stressed in telephone interviews that their goal was to promote dialogue, not take sides on what is arguably the most emotional single issue in U.S.-China affairs.
"I'm trying to salvage a degree of dialogue in an extraordinarily difficult situation," said Kurt Campbell, CSIS vice president and a key architect of the visit.
He described the program as "an educational exchange on security issues" that he hopes might eventually grow to include nonmilitary participants, such as Foreign Ministry officials.
"The group received briefings from Democrats, Republicans, the executive branch, the legislative branch and those outside government so they could get a much better sense of the cacophony of American life," Campbell said. "These are junior people; it's an educational exchange."
Nancy Bernkopf Tucker, a professor of history at the Georgetown School of Foreign Service, said: "Our objective was to talk with these officers not directly about military subjects but about the range of issues the United States deals with. We didn't even get to China or Taiwan until the second or third day of the program."
Georgetown also offers academic courses to members of China's People's Liberation Army, but a university official said that because of the summer break, none were on campus during the visit by the Taiwanese.
The delegation's visit comes amid signs of a closeness between the United States and Taiwan that has developed since President Bush took office. Those signs include the most forthright presidential statement in decades of America's willingness to defend Taiwan against possible military aggression from China.
Only days after Bush pledged to do "whatever it took to help Taiwan defend herself," his administration offered to sell a hefty package of new weapons to Taipei. At the same time, U.S. relations with Beijing have suffered a series of setbacks.
The political symbolism of the Taiwanese military visit is only sharpened by Bush's toughened stance on military contacts with Beijing. After ordering a case-by-case review of such contacts, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld is said to have personally rejected most meetings between U.S. and People's Liberation Army officers and ordered U.S. defense officials to maintain a discreet distance at conferences where their Chinese counterparts are present.
An educational program offered to Chinese army officers by Harvard University was suspended after an officer defected to the United States in December.
Taiwanese defense officials in Taipei declined to discuss the trip in detail, citing an agreement with the U.S. that bars them from publicly commenting either on military exchanges or on American arms sales. However, speaking privately, one senior officer made no attempt to conceal his sense of expectation that the Washington visit represented part of a larger convergence of U.S. and Taiwanese interests.
He also said increased contact would be important from a purely military operations viewpoint as Taiwan tries to procure increasingly sophisticated weaponry from the United States.
"We are democracies, we are natural allies," the officer said.
Yang indicated that the meetings had several subtle but cautionary messages for anyone in Taiwan's military who might have taken the Bush administration's new warmth as a green light for provocative behavior toward Beijing.
"There was an attempt to discourage any misperceptions regarding U.S. policy," Yang said.
Although Taiwan has in recent years blossomed into one of East Asia's few thriving democracies and a major global supplier of high-tech products, pressure from Beijing has kept it a diplomatic orphan with few official contacts in the West. The island is also denied membership in major international organizations such as the United Nations and the International Monetary Fund.
Campbell, of CSIS, wrote in the Washington Post this year that Taiwan's military had experienced more sustained international isolation than any other such establishment in the world, including Iraq's or North Korea's.
"More dialogue on security issues with both [Taipei and Beijing] makes sense," he said in a telephone interview. "It's in our national interest."
In some respects, the delegation's visit represents the next step in a quiet but gradual increase in U.S. contacts with Taiwan's military over the last several years.
Those contacts were first expanded beyond the annual arms sales meeting by the Clinton administration in 1996, after China tried to intimidate Taiwan by firing missiles into its coastal waters ahead of the island's presidential election that year.
Official-level meetings between U.S. and Taiwanese representatives in the secluded environs of Monterey have reportedly become an exchange of ideas on national aims and possible plans of action.

The Comox Valley International Student Program offers a variety of opportunities for international students to study English during the Canadian summer (July and August). International students will enjoy the wonderful west coast lifestyle and surroundings on Vancouver Island in a fun but focused learning environment. Individual students and student groups from twelve (12) to eighteen (18) years old are eligible. A minimum of three (3) weeks of study is required and a maximum of eight (8) weeks of study are available every summer. Every day of the summer program has a trip into the community or school based activity capitalizing on the instructional practice of learning English through meaningful events.
Why Attend the Comox Valley Summer Program?
My name is YOK. I am from Thailand. When I came to Comox Valley on July program that make me know here is a good place for me to start practicing my English. This is because all the teachers in the school and also my new friends make me feel welcome and comfortable to stay.
The activity that I enjoyed the most was whale watching, I didn't realize why I like it but you should try 🙂 I hope you're going to have a great time here. Because of time in July I have now enrolled for High School here in September. Very exciting!
This summer I joined the Comox Valley summer program for two months. There were so many exciting activities but my favourite was staying on Hornby Island and seeing the natural beauty. My favourite pass time was strolling along the ocean and playing on the beach with my friends. I want to come back next summer and event stay for a full school year!
English lesson and activities are very nice and a lots of fun! I participated with great expectation at first. But unfortunately my ability of English is not enough, it is regrettable that I was not able enjoy 100%. I wanted to understand the lessons and to talk all of them.
Now, I can decide that I study English much more after go back to Japan and I'll came back to beautiful place Comox to participate again. I'm thankful to everything that I experienced here. I'll change!!
I'm Celina and I'm from Germany. Although I've been staying here for only three weeks, I already feel at home. I am really satisfied being placed at my host family. My host sister is lovely! I am looking forward to hopefully deepening the relationship to my family and making good friends with my host sister. But even the other Canadians I've met so far turned out to be equally open and friendly! I am excited of meeting new people during upcoming school year.
The Comox Valley is such a beautiful area to live in. I am fascinated by always seeing the impressive mountains. And I love the beaches. I especially like the pine and fir trees partly covering the sand and nearly reaching the sea. I have never seen that before. It's amazing! In general the nature surrounding the Comox Valley is incredible. I particularly liked our trip to Hornby Island as I like doing outdoor activities.
My favourite experience was the Kayaking tour and the wonderful views of the island's coast. While staying on Hornby for four days I also got closer to two other girls participating in the program.


Today is a vacation day. The husband and I decided to take the day off and have a little fun.
We we hopped in the car and headed south. Who knows where we'll end up? But it beats the cold temperatures in Pennsylvania.
So, I'm not writing. But, I'm getting plenty of ideas.
Happy weekend all. Take some time and enjoy the ride and the company.
Have fun, Michele! I'm actually off today, too (I don't work on Fridays). Hubby and I have some errands to run then are going out for a nice dinner.
Wishing you lots of inspiration, relaxation and fun!
Thanks, Mae. Hoping you do the same.
Thanks, Staci. It's nice to get away.
Enjoy the trip. And take time to observe people, places, and situations. Good fodder for stories.
Thanks, Joan. We are having a great time. I'm getting some good ideas too.
nothing better than a road trip! i can just imagine the sights and ideas! enjoy!!
Thanks, Barb. There is plenty to see.

Orient your map, and keep it oriented. This means, first, have a map/chart of where you are paddling, and you have to have a compass. You also have to know how to orient a map, fortunately I have already taught you that. Though I realize the video I made for this is orienting a map standing, and you have to make some changes doing it sitting in a kayak. I'll have to make a new video. Keeping it oriented means that once you understand which way the map should be facing, you have to keep track of the world around you, and find the world around you on the map in front of you. This is the art of navigation.


Music defines our culture. As Americans, we listen to music while we drive our cars, are at work, doing housework, studying, etc. We have songs for special occasions: Christmas, Hanukah, birthdays, weddings, parties, etc. We have taken songs from the various cultures that make us diverse: Arabic, German, Mexican, Native American, etc. We have many genres: country, hip-hop, rap, pop, blues, jazz, rock, heavy metal, etc. And although we may think of music as simple and easy, looking at all this makes one realize how diverse and complex our music truly is. Two things that contribute to this diversity are theme and symbolism.
"I love you, please say you love me too," she sings. "I love you / I will be your light, shining through your eyes." Still yet, we have "Crazy in Love" by Beyonce' and Jay-Z, hip-hop artists. "Your love's got me looking so crazy right now," they sing/rap. "Looking so crazy in love." Despite the musical differences between all these artists, all three songs/genres were able to give light to the theme of love. And even though the theme may be the same, the music and words were not. So even though two songs may have a theme that is similar, themes in music add diversity.
