Game of Throne's Sophie Turner often asked to lose weight for roles | HELLO!
Sophie Turner hates being told to lose weight for a role when it has nothing to do with her character. The slim actress, who rose to fame playing Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, is branching out more into movies as the end of the hit fantasy series looms.
The eighth and final series of Game of Thrones will hit screens in 2018, but Sophie has already secured numerous other roles, including the lead in the new X-Men film, Dark Phoenix.
While she didn't mention any specific roles while talking to Porter magazine, Sophie, 21, did hit out at being asked to lose weight for work.
"There are often times when I have done jobs and they've told me that I have to lose weight, even when it has nothing to do with the character." she fumed to the publication.
Sophie, who is dating DNCE frontman Joe Jonas, is in better shape than ever right now as she films her second X-Men flick.
She was first cast as Jean Grey/ Phoenix 2016's X-Men: Apocalypse, and admitted in an interview with SELF magazine last year that her training regime, devised by James Farmer, had left her looking and feeling good.
"Exercise has made me feel more positive about my body, less self-conscious," she explained. "I don't know if I look any different, but I feel stronger, and I can do more, which is such a good feeling. It's so liberating.
"I've really embraced healthy eating. It makes you feel a lot better and more energetic. I'm inspired to get up and out."


For many years our lab has studied moral judgment and decision making. More recently, we've expanded our research to address basic questions concerning the brain's infrastructure for complex thought.
This new research on high-level cognition examines how concepts combine to form ideas, how ideas are represented and manipulated through reasoning, the representation of propositional attitudes (e.g. believing something is true vs. wanting it to be true), and the relationship between linguistic and sensory modes of thinking.
Our research on moral cognition has focused on the respective contributions of "fast" automatic processes (such as emotional "gut reactions") and "slow" controlled processes (such as reasoning and self-control). We have studied and applied this dual-process framework to classic hypothetical dilemmas, real temptations toward dishonesty, beliefs about free will and punishment, belief in God, wishful thinking, cooperation, and most recently to conflict resolution strategies.

How 'Shark Tank's' Barbara Corcoran Stays Positive During Tough Times
Melissa Mitas
Real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran of ABC's reality show Shark Tank has overcome plenty of adversity in her life. Coming from humble beginnings and battling a learning disability through her school years, Corcoran doesn't let anything keep her down or stop her from her goals.
When she does start feeling down or defeated, Corcoran has a few tips to help her snap out of a slump.

No victims, please
The Shark Tank star is known to pick aspiring entrepreneurs who exhibit drive and resilience, with little patience for those with a victim mindset.
"I invest in young businesses, and I would say, out of the 40-some-odd businesses today, I would say one-third are victims," she told Buzzfeed News. "I didn't know it when I bought them, or I wouldn't have bought into the business. But you see they're victims when things go awry."
Corcoran often discovers what a business owner is made of after the cameras stop rolling and the entrepreneur begins to experience bumps in the road.
I couldn't be happier to be back in on all the action! Tune in to the all new #SharkTank episode tonight at 9|8c on @abcnetwork
A post shared by Barbara Corcoran (@barbaracorcoran) on Jan 5, 2020 at 3:09pm PST
"After the limelight of Shark Tank has faded, after their first order didn't come through, or they couldn't deliver on this, they're either going to be one way — be really tough and go straightforward and get help — or they go the other way and start blaming the next guy," she said. "That's victimizing."
Knowing how tumultuous business can be with an unequal bent toward women, Corcoran tends to be tougher on female entrepreneurs. "I'm merciless with them," she said of her female business owners. "I say, look at yourself. Is this something you're going to be proud about? Is this the mother you want your daughter to see? And I'll go so far as saying, you should be ashamed of yourself. I get to the point where I almost make them cry, and then I let up on the gas."
Did you get your @cameo requests in?! I'm back on and taking your unfiltered requests so get 'em in!
A post shared by Barbara Corcoran (@barbaracorcoran) on Jan 19, 2020 at 6:20pm PST
While that may sound harsh to some, Corcoran has a reason for her heavy hand. "You know why? Because it's tough love," she revealed, recalling how her mom would forego sympathy with her kids and try to motivate them to take action when times got tough. "We weren't allowed in our family to cry and be victims. My mother said, 'Okay, what are you going to do about it?' It was always, 'What are you going to do about it?' — an action step."
Lessons from the dance floor
No one can avoid the blues all the time, including someone as tough as Corcoran. "I time myself on feeling sad. I don't allow myself to feel sorry for myself for long," she shared. "I mean, it's a natural inclination when something goes awry that you feel sorry for yourself. Of course, we all do."
The real estate icon knows how to pick herself up when she's feeling down. "I hear myself and say: Stop. And then I say, 'Something good has got to come out of this — what is it?'" Corcoran said. "And I go on a hunt. And you know, there's something good that can come out of everything."
Corcoran recalled the time she donned her dancing shoes for Season 25 of Dancing With The Stars. Unfortunately, her stint was short lived since she was the first to be eliminated. Yet the Shark Tank investor gleaned something valuable from the experience.
"Let me tell you, I felt like Cinderella, and somebody had robbed her pumpkin," she said of being the first to go, then had an epiphany. "Immediately, I was ashamed of myself. But by the time I got back to New York on that midnight flight, I'm like, 'Hey, what's so bad? I'm going home to my beautiful home and my beautiful family, I got to dance with this hunk for six weeks running, and I know how to dance — this is amazing!'"
We can all learn a lot from Corcoran's positive attitude!

Q: How do I access content created by React from a Python scraper script? I am trying to create a simple script with python that will go through my Facebook activity log and delete some content to make my clean up much easier. My previous experience with similar tasks makes it pretty simple to go through the dom and automate interaction.
However, the actual unlike or delete buttons don't appear to be in the HTML source of the downloaded page. I assume because they're created dynamically by React. I just need to know how to interact with these elements.
How do you target a React generated element that isn't in the DOM with a python crawler?

The General Terms and Conditions of Business shall apply to all current and future business relationships.In the context of the Terms and Conditions of Business, Contractors are natural or legal entities or legal private companies with whom a business relationship exists through the execution of commercial or independent professional activities.On placing their first order after receiving these Terms and Conditions of Business, the Customer thereby recognises these Terms and Conditions as the binding rules governing the business relationship and shall refrain from applying their own conditions of sale. Any deviating, opposing or supplementary General Terms and Conditions of Business shall not, even if they become known, constitute part of this agreement unless their validity is expressly agreed in writing.
Our products are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to make acceptable changes of a technical nature or changes to shape, colour and/or weight. The documents relating to our products do not constitute any form of guarantee relating to their properties; they serve as guidance for the ordering party only. On placing an order for a product, the Customer shall make a binding declaration that they wish to purchase the product ordered. We reserve the right to accept the contractual agreement contained within the order within 2 weeks of receiving it. This acceptance may be declared in writing or by delivering the item. If the Contractor orders the product using electronic means, the obligation to confirm the order in line with Article 312 e of the German Civil Code (BGB) shall be eliminated. The contract shall be concluded subject to the correct and punctual supply of the products by our suppliers. This shall only apply in the event that we are not responsible for non-delivery, particularly in the event of established congruent forwarding transactions with the supplier. The Customer shall be notified of the non-availability of the item immediately and any reimbursement due shall be made without delay.
The product remains our property until all outstanding debts in the current business relationship have been paid in full. The Customer undertakes to notify us immediately of any third party access to the products, such as in the event of their use as an attachment, and of any damage to or loss of the goods. The Customer shall inform us immediately of any change of ownership relating to the goods or a change of address. In the event of a breach of the contract by the Customer, we reserve the right to withdraw from the contract or to demand the return of the goods, particularly in the event of a default of payment or the breach of an afore-mentioned obligation. The Customer is entitled to resell the goods within the context of ordinary business transactions. They shall settle immediately all outstanding debts that they incur through the resale of the goods to a third party to the value of the invoice amount. We shall accept the assignment of this debt. Following acceptance, the Contractor shall be entitled to collect the debt. We reserve the right to collect the debt ourselves where the Customer does not duly fulfil their payment obligations and are in default of payment. In the event that we exercise our rights to retention of title, the Customer shall notify us regarding the recipient of the goods resold and the amount of the debt incurred as a result. Exceptions and objections regarding a claim for return of goods owed to us or the debts incurred by us as a result of this are excluded. To secure the goods subject to retention of title, we shall have the irrevocable right to enter the Customer's goods storage facilities ourselves or arrange for this to be carried out by an authorised representative.
The prices listed are valid where there have been no changes made to the product range. Prices do not include the valid applicable value-added tax. Prices include free delivery within Germany where no other arrangement has been made otherwise. The Customer undertakes to pay the purchase price within 8 days of receiving the goods. On expiration of this period, the Customer shall be deemed to be in default of payment. Any claims made regarding defects or losses shall not affect the due date for payment of the remaining purchase price. A faulty part or faulty goods shall not constitute the right to claim for the delivery in its entirety. The Customer shall be charged interest at 8% above the base rate during the period in which they are in default of payment. We reserve the right to demonstrate and claim for any higher damages incurred as a result of a default of payment. The Customer shall have the right to offset payments only where their counter claims have been established in binding legal terms or have been acknowledged by us. We may revoke any payment targets practiced or arranged at any time by giving an appropriate notice period. We shall also have the right at any time, including after conclusion of the contract, to secure our receivables, including those which are not yet due by calling for sufficient security and to make performance on our part dependent on payments in advance. In particular, this shall apply in the event that doubt arises regarding the Buyer's credit standing, shortfalls, liquidity gaps, etc. and in the event that the original credit volume increases. We have the right to invoice for part deliveries as special transactions. If our payment conditions are not fulfilled or other events arise relating to the Buyer that cast doubt on their credit-worthiness or such circumstances in existence prior to concluding the contract come to our attention after concluding the contract, we may, without affecting our other rights for the duration of the default of payment, make other deliveries relating to the same legal relationship dependent on payments in advance until the outstanding debts have been paid in full and/or, after issuing a reminder with a deadline for payment that has not been adhered to and without necessitating a refusal to accept performance, to cancel the remaining quantities either in full or in part and/or to withdraw from any existing contracts. The Buyer shall not obtain any rights as a result of this action.
The risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods shall be transferred to the Buyer on handover of the item or, for contracts of sale involving the carriage of goods, on delivery of the item to the carrier, haulier or other person entrusted with the task of distributing the item. The handover shall be deemed to have occurred if the Customer is default of acceptance. Delivery times shall be adhered to where possible. In the event that the agreed delivery time is exceeded, no claims for damages may be made due to a negligent breach of contract by the Ordering Party. The delivery date stated is an estimate only. If we are prevented from delivering on time due to unforeseen circumstances or events arising through no fault of our own, e.g. force majeure, disruption to production, to dispatch or transport, the delivery period shall be extended for the duration of this obstruction. Packaging for transport and other packaging in accordance with the German Packaging Regulation (VerpackV) shall not be taken back.
We confirm that the goods that we deliver shall comply with the relevant legal requirements with regard to their composition, quality, packaging, declaration and goods specification. In the event of faulty goods, we shall initially redeem the guarantee by choosing to offer either to rectify the fault or provide a replacement. If this supplementary performance fails, the Customer may choose to lower the payment amount (reduction) or to revoke the contract (withdrawal). However, in the event of a minor breach of contract, particularly in the event of minor faults, the Customer shall not have the right to withdraw. The Customer shall check that scope of the goods is correct immediately on receiving them. Any objections shall be made in writing immediately after they have been determined but within a maximum period of 2 days. The guarantee shall not apply if this period is not adhered to. The goods must be stored and handled correctly until they have been examined. Returns without prior discussion or without our consent cannot be accepted. Any complaints regarding quantity must be made immediately via the supplier, who must confirm them. If, after a failed attempt to provide supplementary performance due to a defect of title or of quality, the Customer withdraws from the contract, they shall not have the right to claim for any damages incurred as a result of this defect. If, after a failed attempt to provide supplementary performance, the Customer chooses to claim for damages, the goods shall remain with the Customer. Damages shall be limited to the difference between the purchase price and the value of the faulty goods. Where we are not the manufacturer of the goods supplied, guarantee claims may only be made against us in line with the scope of the manufacturer's liability to us. In general, the manufacturer's product description shall be deemed the agreement regarding the properties of the goods. Public statements, prices or advertisements by the manufacturer shall not constitute the contractually agreed properties of the goods. The Customer shall not be given any guarantees in legal terms. This does not affect manufacturer guarantees.
In the event of a breach of our obligations due to slight negligence, our liability shall be limited to the average, foreseeable, typical and direct damages relating to the type of goods in question. This also applies in the event of breaches of our obligations due to slight negligence by our legal representatives or auxiliaries. We shall not assume any liability for any breaches of minor contractual obligations through slight negligence. The afore-mentioned liability restrictions shall not affect the Customers rights in terms of product liability. The liability restrictions shall also not apply in the event of physical injury or damage to health for which we are responsible or in the event of loss of the Customer's life. Regardless of the legal basis, the Customer may only lay claims for damages in the event of gross negligence on our part or by our auxiliaries. Customers may only lay claims for damages due to faults within 1 year after delivery of the goods. This shall not apply in the event that we can be accused of fraudulent intent.
The place of fulfilment for all payments is Gevelsberg. The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to all contractual rights, rights outside the contract and non-contractual rights. If the Customer is a trader, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract shall be our place of headquarters. The same applies where the Customer does not have legal status in Germany or their place of domicile or normal residence is not known at the time of taking legal action. Changes to any of the terms of these Terms and Conditions of Business shall only be deemed agreed if these changes are sent to the Customer and the Customer does not disagree with these changes in writing within 2 weeks of their application. In the event that any of the terms of contract with the Customer, including these General Terms and Conditions of Business, should be or become invalid either in full or in part, this shall not affect the validity of the other terms. The term that is invalid either in full or in part shall be replaced by a term that corresponds to the meaning of the invalid term as closely as possible.

National policy-makers speak out: are researchers giving them what they need?
Hyder A, Corluka A, Winch P J, El-Shinnawy A, Ghassany H, Malekafzali H, Lim M K, Mfutso-Bengo J, Segura E and Ghaffar A National policy-makers speak out: are researchers giving them what they need? Health Policy and Planning Advance Access published June 14, 2010
The objective of this empirical study was to understand the perspectives and attitudes of policy-makers towards the use and impact of research in the health sector in low- and middle-income countries. The study used data from 83 semi-structured, in-depth interviews conducted with purposively selected policy-makers at the national level in Argentina, Egypt, Iran, Malawi, Oman and Singapore. The interviews were structured around an interview guide developed based on existing literature and in consultation with all six country investigators. Transcripts were processed using a thematic-analysis approach. Policy-makers interviewed for this study were unequivocal in their support for health research and the high value they attribute to it. However, they stated that there were structural and informal barriers to research contributing to policy processes, to the contribution research makes to knowledge generally, and to the use of research in health decision-making specifically. Major findings regarding barriers to evidence-based policy-making included poor communication and dissemination, lack of technical capacity in policy processes, as well as the influence of the political context. Policy-makers had a variable understanding of economic analysis, equity and burden of disease measures, and were vague in terms of their use in national decisions. Policy-maker recommendations regarding strategies for facilitating the uptake of research into policy included improving the technical capacity of policy-makers, better packaging of research results, use of social networks, and establishment of fora and clearinghouse functions to help assist in evidence-based policy-making.

1. First you need to prepare the basis from which we will make a box. Take a thick cardboard and make the workpiece as in the picture. Then bend the parts, forming a box.
2. On the bottom of the crafts fasten the ribbons with glue. If the ribbons are poorly sticked, glue them to super glue. This is to ensure that the gift box closes well.
3. Next we need to paste the gift box with color or wrapping paper. We do not recommend to make a box of colored cardboard at once, because then the place of gluing of the ribbons will be noticeable, but if you glue the colored paper then it hides all such flaws..
That's it! We got this beautiful gift box.
You can also make the box more original and decorate it roses, sequins, rhinestones or bows.

ServiceMax is a leading software company that provides field service software to enterprise businesses. They focus on industries related to the industrial internet of things (ex: renewables, oil & gas, manufacturing & power).
Comprehensive coverage on every relevant search term. MT built out aggressive keyword expansion into core terms and expanded internationally. MT and ServiceMax collaborated on dozens of new keyword areas, and MT translated key campaigns into additional languages for overseas markets. Since one major AQL criterion is the company size, MT focused on search terms that indicated companies at or above a certain number of employed technicians on staff.
These help to increase the quality and relevancy of initial lead submissions. MT worked with ServiceMax to understand the most important company profiles to reach with ads, and then targeted those physical locations with tight radius targeting to ensure ads were appearing in front of the most relevant eyeballs possible.
Integration on a monthly & weekly basis. This allowed MT to see AQL performance on the segment, campaign and ad group level, and pivot front end strategy accordingly. We prioritized campaigns producing efficient cost per AQL or high-technician count leads, while optimizing areas with unprofitable cost per AQL.
"I really like how the team doesn't just look at the quantity of leads, since that's not totally indicative of the trended value, but also looks at AQL's and opportunities. We've been tasked to grow the business significantly in terms of revenue and bookings, and we've relied heavily on search and online advertising to fuel that growth and to fuel it quickly. MT has been incredibly responsive and been able to achieve that growth without sacrificing quality. I feel like they're really an extension of the team."
Metric Theory's lead quality focused strategy led to a 231% increase in leads and 115% increase in AQL pipeline. Over the course of the past year, MT has tripled the size of ServiceMax's PPC footprint through relevant expansion efforts. Because of Kenshoo's U-shaped attribution and Salesforce's lead quality tracking, MT was able to see the effect on quality through every step of the process to ensure that front end efforts were having the desired back end result.


If you have a permanent mobility impairment and cannot safely use public transportation as certified by a qualified medical practitioner, you can apply for a refund of part of the federal excise tax on the gasoline you buy.
SPARC BC has been advocating for the rights of people with mobility limitations since 1969, and has been issuing parking permits for people with disabilities since 1984. Over 100,000 people rely on us. The Parking Permit Program is one way SPARC BC works to create a just and healthy society for all.
Designated parking allows people with disabilities to have access to buildings and services in the community. People who qualify for parking permits either need the extra width of the designated spaces to get in and out of their vehicles when using a wheelchair, crutches, a cane or other mobility aid, or need to park close to a building entrance because their health prevents them from walking very far.
Do you have a permanent physical or cognitive disability that makes it difficult to use the public transit system without assistance? We're here to help with HandyCard discounts and TaxiSaver coupons.
HandyCard can't be used on HandyDART. When you begin your transit trip on HandyDART, you pay the regular HandyDART fare, not a concession fare.
BC Residents Fare – Permanent DisabilityDiscount fares are available for residents of British Columbia who have a permanent disability (this applies to passenger fares only). To receive the discounted fare you must apply for a BC Ferries Disabled Status Identification (DSI) Card, which you will present to the Ticket Agent when you arrive at the terminal.


The TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) Certificate Program at Westchester Community College is an intensive program that prepares new teachers who may have little or no background in teaching ESL. Offered through the college's English Language Institute (ELI) the TESOL program offers 126 hours of training including extensive supervised teaching. It also provides participants with fundamental theoretical knowledge and the opportunity to build a solid base of classroom skills, including hands-on practice teaching, in preparation for employment in the field of TESOL.
First, teaching English to speakers of other languages has been very much in demand not only in the U.S., but also abroad. The same is true locally in Westchester County, where one in four residents was born abroad. The English Language Institute at Westchester Community College provides ESL classes for over 4,000 students per year; it is one of the largest ESL programs in the region, requiring the hiring or rehiring of 65 to 80 adjunct instructors three times per year in advance of each term.
Second, experience has shown that while there are always qualified applicants, there are usually not enough with the right combination of experience and training. Even those with Master's degrees in TESOL, or graduates of certificate programs may have acquired little practical little knowledge or teaching experience of the kind relevant to adult/college ESL at Westchester Community College. One of the key strengths of the TESOL Certificate Program is the integration of extensive, supervised classroom practice utilizing the college's multi-level ESL programs.
Third, the number of people looking for a change of career, or for a second career, has been increasing. Many of these professionals have shown interest in a teaching career, especially in the ESL field, but cannot afford to spend the time or money in a master's program, typically requiring two years of study. However, there are only a few schools in the New York City metro area that offer TESOL certificates, about three in New York City and none in Westchester County.
For these reasons, the TESOL Certificate Program at Westchester Community College was designed to meet the needs of those with some teaching experience but no formal training in TESOL, or of those who have no teaching experience but wish to pursue employment in teaching English as a second language to adults. The program is also suitable for ESL teachers who wish to advance their knowledge of adult TESOL methodology and technology.
The program offers instruction in the following areas: principles of language teaching and learning, English phonology, phonetics, and structure, effective lesson planning in reading, writing, speaking, and grammar at different levels, and in language proficiency assessment.

Q: Merge with ogr2ogr creating multiple feature classes despite consistent -nln flag I have a Python script that creates hundreds of individual shapefiles and in the end, merges them iteratively to one big geodatabase using ogr2ogr.
I want one geodatabase output with a single feature class and all of the polygons from the input shapefiles in that feature class, but that is not what is happening and I cannot figure out why.
This is what I am doing:
# if output.gdb does not exist:
ogr2ogr -nln output -a_srs EPSG:4326 -t_srs EPSG:4326 -f "FileGDB" output.gdb input1.shp

# if output.gdb does exist (i.e. not on the first iteration):
ogr2ogr -nln output -a_srs EPSG:4326 -t_srs EPSG:4326 -update -append -f "FileGDB" output.gdb input2.shp

# And repeat the second command for each inputX.shp (in my case, 109 shapefiles, 66959 total points)

Please note that the names have been changed for readability. The input shapefiles are not numbered like that, so the feature class names in the resulting output.gdb are not a result of the input names.
This is what the output (with the names again changed to be more readable and consistent with the above) looks like when I run ogrinfo on output.gdb [broken up into 2 screenshots]:

When viewing the individual feature classes in Arc, it appears that each represents one of the inputs. What am I doing wrong here? What is with all the feature classes, their names, and why are there only 100 of them as opposed to 109? How can I rectify this to get my desired end result?
UPDATE:
I wanted to check and be sure the field names were consistent throughout. I compared the field names from 2 random input shapefiles, and they were the same (as I would expect for all of them). Then I checked against the output geodatabase and discovered all of my columns from the shapefiles that began with a number were different in the gdb (they all had been changed to have an underscore before them). I found out the gdb's cannot have field names that begin with a number. Could this be why the above commands did not want to merge the shapefiles into the same feature class within the output geodatabase? I will run a test to see.
UPDATE 2:
I ran 2 tests: one merging the 3 shapefiles with some columns beginning with a number, and another merging the 3 shapefiles where those columns had been changed to begin with a letter. The resulting gdb of the latter test had field names that matched the input shapefiles exactly, but both tests resulted in the same issue where the output gdb had 3 feature classes instead of the results being in one single feature class. So that was not the problem.
UPDATE 3:
Tried a bunch of suggestions from this answer, and still same issue. I also tried ogrmerge.py and I can't write to a gdb in update mode. At a loss.

September to be Celebrated as National Americana Month
AMERICANAFEST and Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival highlight celebration
FRANKLIN, Tenn. – The month of September will be celebrated annually as National Americana Month with Franklin, Tennessee, leading the way.
The registrar of National Day Calendar selected Visit Franklin's proposal to declare September as National Americana Month out of more than 30,000 submissions for national recognition in 2016. Communities across the nation are encouraged to join Franklin in celebrating all things Americana.
Americana does not have a single definition. It means different things to different people. To many it is a sound, to some, it is a story while to others Americana describes the feeling or vibe you experience that takes you back to the roots of your culture. In its inaugural year, Franklin will build a pilot branding campaign model to celebrate all things that are quintessentially Americana which communities across the country can tailor to their unique local culture in the future.
The month-long celebration will kick off with the Great Americana BBQ Festival, just a few days ahead of September on Saturday, Aug. 26.
That will be followed by a series of events such as Anthony Scarlati's Portraits of Americana, Fork Fest in Leiper's Fork, and Mantra Artisan Ale's Block Party featuring their Americana brew, which all lead into the Americana Music Association's annual Americana Music Festival and Conference.
AmericanaFest will bring together legendary artists, the next generation of rising stars, fans and industry professionals for six days of music and education with more than 230 live performances in 40 different venues. The month-long celebration will close with Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival. Justin Timberlake will headline the multi-genre music festival that pairs national touring artists with the beautiful setting of Harlinsdale Farm, the local culture of Franklin, Tennessee, and a family-friendly environment.
For more information on the month-long celebrations planned in Franklin for National Americana Month, visit www.VisitFranklin.com/Americana.

In my Protestant life, I held a lot of default positions that I had never given much thought.
One of my main default positions was that the Catholic Church was, at least in some very important ways, wrong.
I had this default because of growing up where I did, and how I did. I didn't even think about it. I didn't even know the reasons I rejected Catholic teaching, I just believed they were wrong based on things people said to me over the years. It was the view I was taught. But I realized, as I found myself restless in my faith, that just because I grew up with something was not enough of a justification for me to assume it as correct.
It was an important step for me to acknowledge the default position I learned, but it was also important not to assume that default position I held was necessarily the right one.
Below are some of my Protestant default positions, and then the questions I started asking to allow myself to be more fair and balanced in determining from what viewpoint I was going to approach my faith.
I believed that if there was Truth out there, my taking an honest and fair evaluation of my default positions would lead me closer to it. Truth need not fear an inquiring and honest heart.
Default 1) The Catholic Church is in error.
What valid justification do I have to not give the Catholic Church a fair and objective examination? Is it possible my lack of knowledge about what the Catholic Church teaches is impacting my opinion of it? What gaps do I have in my own understanding of the development of my Christian faith that has informed this belief?
Questions: Why does the Protestant church have 7 less books than the Catholic Bible? Where in history did that happen? Which books were removed, and for what reason? Did those who made those changes have the authority to do so?
Questions: God gave us an infallible book- wouldn't he have given us a means to interpret it correctly? Is it fair to assume that it isn't important to God if the Truth's of Scripture are known accurately by Christians, or is it? And if it is, who has a claim to interpretive authority that can be backed by the history of the Christian faith as well as the scriptures?
Questions: What do Catholics mean when they use the word prayer in this context? Do they mean the same thing I mean when I use the word 'pray?' Are those in heaven aware of those of us on earth? And if they are aware, why don't I ask those who have gone before me and are now in heaven to pray for me?
Questions: Where is the evidence for sola scriptura in scripture? It is an authority but is there anywhere in Scripture that claims it to be the final and ultimate authority? What did the earliest Christians do before the New Testament was written and before the canon was confirmed? What does the Bible have to say about the role of the Church and Tradition?
Default 6) Worship should be relevant to the culture.
Questions: What role does church history and traditional Christian practices have in the church today? What value could be found in practicing our faith in a manner similar to the earliest Christians? And what have we lost in the name of cultural relevance?
Questions: What did the early Christians attribute to Mary and why? How can I justify the differences in my view of Mary and the view of Mary of the historical church- including certain views held by Luther and Calvin? Is my discomfort with these teachings due to their falsehood or due to the fact that I am too far separated from the beliefs of the historical Christian Church?
I found, in my exploration, that I was so entirely ignorant of Catholic teachings because of these original default positions. But I was also ignorant of the history of our faith and what the earliest Christians professed to be true.
Once I opened myself up to the possibility of a different position than the default I had grown up with, I was both surprised and not surprised. Each and every default I had against the Catholic Church turned out to be a misconception. Something I misunderstood or understood incompletely. And once I opened a small crack in the door to the idea to give that which I thought was so wrong a fair shot, I was overwhelmed with depth and truth. Logic and consistency. The beauty of a combination of the thoughts of many, many Christian souls who had gone before me.
And I found myself on my way to living a life of gratitude and peace within the Catholic Church.

That is the tempo. Are you old enough to know that the title of this post is a Beastie Boys lyric? (Are you old enough to know who the Beastie Boys are?) Of all the tracks from their multiplatinum, 13-song "Licensed to Ill" album, "Slow and Low" is...one of the least popular. Based on Spotify track plays, "Slow and Low" ranks 10th.

Oil and Gold: Expensive Stuff From the Ground
This week's #MakeoverMonday was a re-imagining of a chart that Andy Kriebel did 10 years ago when he first started using Tableau. It was about comparing the rising cost of oil and of gold as commodities. The premise was they were somewhat, but not exactly, linked together in value. By building the chart, we wanted to see how this relationship changed over time, and whether the commodities were truly correlated. Early Returns The first few things that I saw when people started


Byzantine, Texas: On "Islamic reformation"
(Acton Institute) - One of the hot new trends in religious opinion today is to advocate for an "Islamic reformation". This past weekend the Wall Street Journal ran two articles on the subject: "Islam's Improbable Reformer" and "Why Islam Needs a Reformation." Presumably, the assumption is that an Islamic Reformation would bring about the same beneficial changes as the Protestant Reformation.
The reality, though, is that no one calling for an Islamic reformation wants Muslims to become like Calvinists of 16th century Geneva; what they want is for Muslims to be like the Episcopalians of Boston circa 1965. Those calling for reform of Islam want Islam to be like liberal mainline Christianity: all the trappings of the faith without all that pesky doctrine that might stir up trouble.
The problem with this idea—apart from it being tone-deaf and offensive to two world religions—is that it relies on the completely untenable foundation of assuming Islam is similar in relevant ways to Christianity.
The dominance of Christianity in the West has caused it be viewed as the default template for generic "religion." All genuine religions are assumed to be, at their core, much like Christianity: respectful of the intrinsic dignity of all humans, desirous of individual liberty and global peace, compatible with liberal democracy and pluralism, etc.
As per usual, Acton really not getting it. I seriously doubt that Hirsi Ali is thinking of Protestantism when she writes about Islam needing to "reject those aspects of their tradition that prompt some believers to resort to oppression and holy war".


As eyes-on-the-prize, career-driven women, we're all familiar with taking on extra work at the office—but are we creeping into yes-woman territory? According to new research, it's more difficult for women to turn down extra work than men, meaning that we find it harder to bow out of assignments that aren't part of our job description. While this could be attributed personality, the data shows it's actually social norms that are playing a major role.
"Women typically are regarded as nurturers and helpers, so saying 'no' runs against the grain of what might be expected of them," says Katharine O'Brien, a postdoctoral research associate at the Baylor School of Medicine, who conducted three separate studies on gender differences in declining workplace requests.
But the real question is: Is this inclination helping or hurting us? The answer is both. "As might be expected, women who said 'yes' to requests were more valued and regarded as 'team players,'" O' Brien explains. "Women feel a stronger sense of guilt when they say 'no' and feel bad when they do. In addition, they do not want to be denigrated by managers and coworkers. Those are powerful reasons why women are more likely to agree to extra work."
It will come as no surprise that favoring "yes" can have its drawbacks—and not just in your personal life. O'Brien cites an example where a woman who was always the first to take on additional projects overburdened herself and made it so she was unable to complete everything she'd taken on. (Sound familiar?) It ultimately made her miss out on an opportunity to move up.
1. Will saying yes help me be successful in the organization?
2. Will performing the request be something I would enjoy?
3. Will it take time and resources away from my job?
Try them and report back. We're all ears.

Chelsea fc has been given green light to complete the signing of 26-year-old French right-back
Benjamin Pavard might have a change of heart as a lack of game time could force the defender to alter his decision, and Chelsea could exploit the situation. The London giants had hoped to secure France international's signature in the summer as Thomas Tuchel had loved the idea of employing him at Chelsea.
But Todd Boehly was interested in other footballers. Chelsea went on to splash more than £150m to strengthen their back-line. But none of the signings have made an instant impact. Fofana has been on the sidelines, and he will have to wait till the conclusion of the World Cup to don the Chelsea jersey again.
Koulibaly and Cucurella are yet to make their mark, and Graham Potter will be given an opportunity to bolster his defence with adequate transfer kitty. Rudiger, Christensen and Alonso left Chelsea in the summer, and the Blues have not been able to call up their replacements.
Pavard has expressed his disgust several times, and the current situation might suggest the footballer won't extend his stay beyond his current deal.
His versatility makes him one of the most coveted players, and the London giants will be adamant to pull the deal off next summer. Benjamin will enter the last year of his deal next summer, and it might help the London club in their negotiations a bit.


I moved away from the stock market except for my IRA and focus on investment properties that cash flow. My wife and I have always shunned debt which made all the difference.
New Mexico results are up!
I think Cozy puts a hold on funds for 5 days??
Who else still needs to do their taxes?
I loved that show before I could afford cable. Lol would still watch it but haven't run across it.
We hunted Junction this weekend. Heard and saw lots of bird before front blew in Saturday morning and got lucky with one gobbler. Seems I always pick weekend for cold front when turkey hunting.
Check Facebook and get more than one bid. I just had a 100 sq ft of quartz installed on Friday for 5k with 6 sinks.
I drew that tag last year on first try. If you get it you should have a great hunt.
I rented a class A and went to New Mexico two summers ago. I drove while all the teenagers slept lol. It was fun but nothing I would want to do all the time.
If Mccain was alive Trump would have said the same thing. Mccain was a swamp monster.
Check your for city ordinances. Some cities are restricting short term rentals. I've rehabbed a house in Haslet that I wanted to Airbnb but city requires it to be your primary residence.
AOC is wearing a 5k jacket. Let us eat cake.
All dems are crooked backstabbing #@%&^^. You can't figure that out on your own??
Anyone in the roll off business??
The mindset and morality of Democrats is disgusting.
What did I miss this weekend with regards to an Indian?
Only one side was wrong and as usual it's the left.
Anybody interested in 70-72 Ford F250 Ranger with 390?
I don't know truck values but I would think it's hard to find any clean 50 year old vehicle for under 10k?
Who is a QDMA member?
Was a member for about 6 years. They killed the best source for habitat management when they got rid of forum. I dumped them then.
I just put down Lifeproof LVP at our lakehouse. Looks great. Wanted something waterproof since it will be a vrbo. I am also putting down in a rental house.

We seem to be spending plenty of time in the supermarkets while we are staying in La Paz and have heard from friends that we should tip the baggers at the grocery store after we have paid the cashier. Is this correct? How much should we tip?
Please remember that everyone tips differently and you are welcome to tip however you feel comfortable. The baggers at the grocery stores in La Paz do not receive a salary for their work and rely solely on tips from customers. Some people leave the coin change they receive after paying their grocery bill. Others leave a tip based on how many bags they packed. If a lot, 10 pesos. If just a few, 5 pesos or less. It really is what you are comfortable with giving.
We finally found Urban Kitchen on Belizario Dominguez after seeing their ad in the Baja Citizen. It was wonderful and a real treat for us. We had a lovely breakfast and enjoyed sitting out on the sidewalk right in the heart of downtown and people watched. We really recommend the place. The staff is very friendly.
Great new layout of the magazine, by the way.
I haven't seen anything about this recently in The Baja Citizen, so I just wanted to send out a friendly reminder that there is recycling in La Paz. The recycling center that I found is on Nayarit, almost to the waterfront. It is right beside some community gardens. They are open Monday through Saturday, in the morning, and they take paper, cardboard, cans and most plastics. No glass though.
The Baja Citizen ran an article, Recycling at El Mangle by Bruce Bennett, in the January 2016 edition of the magazine. You can find the article on-line at www.bajacitizen.com. Just type in the search – recycling – and the article will come up for you to read.
Hooray! I see there are traffic lights once again on the corner of Abasolo and Colosio. It`s about time. Didn't those go down after Hurricane Odile? Took them long enough to get them back up.


There will be no shortage of excitement at Taronga Zoo these school holidays following some major breeding successes recently.
Orange is the new black in the François' Langur exhibit after one of the world's rarest monkeys, a bright orange male tiny infant was born in April.
The infant has been named Didi, meaning little brother in Chinese, which represents his Southeast Asian heritage.
Like all young François Langurs, Didi was born with distinctive bright orange hair, a stark contrast to his parents' black colouring. It is believed the colour distinction makes it easier for adults to identify and look after infants.
An adorable Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat joey emerged from its mother's pouch at Taronga last week after eight months.
The female joey, born in October last year, has been named Mila which is 'five' in the language of the Kaurna people of South Australia, where these wombats can be found. Mila is the fifth joey from mum Korra; her father is Noojee, and she has one older sister at Taronga Zoo Sydney named Nulai.
Mila and her mother Korra can be seen throughout the day by keen-eyed guests in the Wombat Dens located in the Backyard to Bush precinct.
To add to the conservation achievements at the Zoo, one of Taronga's brand new Koala Joeys has started to emerge from the pouch over the past week.
First time mum Wattle, will be home for the Joey until it is about one year old.
The joey can be seen in the Australian Fauna precinct in Taronga, popping it's little head out every now and then. Another Koala joey is soon to emerge as well.
The newest kids on the block at Taronga are in our Backyard to Bush farm area. They are adorable Goat Kids named Sooty and Milo, kids to mum Bess and dad Zodiac.
Visit the kids at 2pm to see the farm show, which will involve animal feeds and talks on sustainable farming.
The Zoo is open every day of the holidays, from 9.30am–4.30pm, and is a great place to relax and unwind with family.
Visit taronga.org.au/taronga-zoo for tickets and information.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The Michigan State Track & Field team traveled as an entire team down to Louisville, Ky. to participate in the ACC/B1G Challenge. The event stretched from April 14-15 at the Louisville Cardinal Park with all events besides the hammer throw taking place on Saturday, April 15.
This invitational was the first scored meet of the outdoor season for the Spartans and the women finished fourth with 100 points, while the men also tabbed fourth on a score of 98 points. Six teams in total were at the challenge, Michigan State, Indiana and Purdue represented the Big Ten, while the host Louisville, Pittsburgh and Notre Dame will represent the ACC.
"Like any sporting event there are some things that you are pretty excited about and there are some things you need to sort out in a hurry," said Director of Cross Country and Track & Field Walt Drenth. "I would say we saw some really good signs from a number of people in important places and I would say we got a good amount of the results we wanted today."
Junior Max Knoblock broke the school record in the men's javelin with a throw of 65.16-meters. The previous school record was set by Scott Beals in 2007 when he posted a throw of 63.40-meters.
"The performance of the day definitely has to go to the javelin throwers," said Drenth. "Both Jade and Max were phenomenal today. They threw well over the standard to make the first round. In terms of what typically is done those two both scored personal bests. They really both just did a super job."
In the women's distance events, redshirt freshman Karrigan Smith got the day started with a second place finish in the 3,000-meter steeplechase on a time of 10:45.51. MSU kept the momentum going in the 1,500-meter run taking second, third and fourth. Senior Alexis Wiersma took second with a time of 4:26.03, redshirt sophomore Erin McDonald took third on a personal-best time of 4:26.49 and redshirt sophomore Kennedy Beazley took third. Rounding out the distance events, Jenny Rogers and Allison Lunau took third and fourth, respectively in the 5,000-meter run.
Sophomore Dillon McClintock took first-place in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:07.15. Redshirt freshman Carlyn Arteaga also nabbed some points in the 800-meter with a sixth place finish on a time of 2:11.04, a personal-best.
Sophomore Taylor Hopp took fourth with a time of 11.64 in the 100-meter dash surpassing her personal-best by almost an entire second as it was 12.24. Sophomore Maya Roberts earned three points for MSU in the 100-meter hurdles with a sixth-place finish on a personal-best time of 13.95. In the 400-meter hurdles Taylor Mullins finished fourth with a time of 1:00.74.
For the women in field events, junior Jade Madison led the way with a first-place finish and personal-best throw of 45.79 in the javelin. Redshirt senior Hannah Sailar took second clearing 4.20-meters, which the first-place finisher also jumped but a scratch at 4.10-meters for Sailar gave her the second place finish. Sophomore Asya Reynolds took eighth with her second jump being her furthest at 5.92-meters. Redshirt freshman Andrea Pangori tied her personal-best jump of 1.64-meters in the high jump to earn a fourth-place finish.
In the men's distance events, senior Max Benoit took second in the 3,000-meter steeplechase with a time of 9:00.99. Similar to the women, the men had a pair of top-place finishers in the 1,500-meter run. Sophomore Justine Kiprotich took first and ran a personal-best time of 3:44.01 to tab 10 points for the Spartans, while redshirt senior Sherod Hardt added five more points with a fourth-place finish on a time of 3:47.16. In the 800-meter run Brandon Wallace took fourth finishing with a time of 1:53.81.
Sophomore Will Agodu tied his career-best time of 14.10 in the men's 110-meter hurdles all while earning a second-place finish. Freshman Sam Binkowski also earned a point for the Spartans with an eighth-place finish and personal-best time of 14.96. Rounding out the hurdle events, senior David Washington took third in the 400-meter hurdles on a time of 52.24.
In the sprints, freshman Savalas Morgan garnered a first-place finish in the 100-meter run on a personal-best time of 10.49. Savalas was also the only Spartan to tab points in the 200-meter dash taking fourth with a time of 21.29.
For the men's field events, redshirt junior Tim Ehrhardt and junior Noah Gary took second and third in the pole vault. Ehrhardt cleared 5.31-meters while Gary cleared the 5.21-meter mark. Freshman Jonathan Edwards finished fifth in the men's long jump with a furthest jump of 7.09-meters.
"It was really windy and some of these events are hard to run faster in when dealing with the elements," said Drenth. "To run fast today in these conditions only looks up for what we can start to do when the weather gets better. It's still early in the season and we have had a lot of qualifying times and a lot of top marks and we will have some people in some good spots heading into the Big Ten Championships."
The next time the Spartans are in action the team will split up and go to two different locations. A group will travel to the Jesse Owens meet in Columbus, Ohio on April 21-22, while another group will travel to the Virginia Challenge in Charlottesville, Va., also on April 21-22.


Sanofi and MannKind announce Afrezza, the only inhaled insulin, now available in the U.S.
Sanofi and MannKind Corporation have announced that Afrezza (insulin human) Inhalation Powder, the only inhaled insulin, is now available by prescription in U.S. retail pharmacies nationwide. Afrezza is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to control high blood sugar in adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
"Many people living with diabetes are not able to control their blood sugar on their current medications and may benefit from using insulin. Now they have another option to administer insulin that is not an injection," said Dr. Janet McGill, M.D., Professor of Medicine at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Afrezza clinical trial investigator. "This delivery option may help change the dialogue between health care professionals and people living with diabetes about initiating or intensifying insulin therapy."
Afrezza is a drug-device combination product that consists of a dry formulation of human insulin delivered from a small and portable inhaler to help patients achieve blood sugar control. Afrezza is rapidly absorbed and has a short duration of action. It is administered at the beginning of a meal.
Afrezza can help control high blood sugar as part of a diabetes management plan that may include diet, exercise and other diabetes medications. Afrezza should not be used in patients with chronic lung disease such as asthma or COPD. Afrezza cannot be used to treat diabetic ketoacidosis. Afrezza is not recommended in patients who smoke or who have recently stopped smoking.
"Afrezza is an important addition to Sanofi's growing diabetes portfolio of integrated, personalized offerings, and it is one that highlights our dedication to bringing innovative therapies to people with this disease," said Pierre Chancel, Senior Vice President Diabetes Division, Sanofi. "There is a recognized need for an insulin that doesn't require an injection, and our organization is committed to making this new treatment option available to patients."
"We are extremely proud to see the many years of work that went into developing Afrezza culminate in the day when it is now available to help people manage their diabetes," stated Alfred Mann, Executive Chairman, MannKind Corporation.

Are you transitioning to TI-Nspire™ CX graphing calculators from TI-84 Plus family models in your classroom? The TI-Nspire CX graphing calculator is a powerful tool with many features, yet it is easy to perform familiar operations like calculating and graphing. Here are some suggestions to get you started.
Look at the TI-Nspire™ CX graphing calculator: it has a color backlit screen and a keypad whose layout is different from that of a TI-84 Plus model. Locate these important keys arranged around and near the Touchpad: Home/ON (with its house icon), menu, esc, Scratchpad (looks like a "moving" calculator), and the blue ctrl key. The Touchpad acts like a "swiper" pad similar to the touch screen on a tablet or laptop. You can swipe in any direction, press the edges for up, down, left and right arrows, or "click" in the center.
The blue ctrl key acts together with other keys. Look around for the blue icons above those keys. You don't need to hold the ctrl key down, just press it once, then press the other key you want to use (similar to how the 2nd key works on TI-84 Plus models.). For example, ctrl then divide gives the fraction template, and ctrl then click (center of Touchpad) is for the "grabber hand" used for grabbing and moving objects on the Graphing or Geometry pages.
The TI-Nspire CX calculator is "menu driven" which means that most commands are found by pressing the menu key. The menus will be different for each application found on the calculator because there are different commands needed for calculating, graphing, statistics, geometry, etc.
The center of the keypad has numerical keys and operation keys, as well as the very important enter key. Notice that trigonometry functions are all found in one key, trig. The bottom section of the keypad has alphabetical keys and access for symbols on the buttons marked π and ?!.
The Scratchpad is where you can perform calculations and create graphs quickly that you don't intend to save. Rather than open a TI-Nspire document, you can simply use the Scratchpad.
Turn on the TI-Nspire CX calculator and press the Scratchpad key. A calculator screen appears, ready to perform calculations just like TI-84 Plus models. Try these, using ctrl as needed for the templates and the edges of the Touchpad for the arrows.
Notice that the fraction result will be displayed in exact form if possible; to convert to the approximate decimal value, press ctrl then enter. And you can make use of the previous answer and previous entry History by up arrow to the desired expression and pressing enter, just like on TI-84 Plus calculators.
For trigonometry functions, press trig and arrows to move around the palette, then press enter to select the function. Angles are in radian mode by default; this can be changed in the Home Screen Settings menu or overridden with the degree° symbol found on the pi π key.
The TI-Nspire CX graphing calculator can verify if mathematical statements are true or false, which is great for checking your work. Use the equals key = alone and with ctrl for these. If you mistype anything, arrow to edit and press the del key.
You can Clear Scratchpad by pressing doc and choosing that option from the bottom of the menu if desired. If you'd like to save the work you had been doing on the Scratchpad, choose Save to Document. I do this when a class is ending and we are in the middle of some work that we'd like to continue with the next day.
Press the Scratchpad key again, and a Graph screen appears (the Scratchpad key toggles between these two environments). To enter a function, press tab to bring up the entry line quickly, or press menu and select Graph Entry/Edit. Instead of Y= that you are used to seeing on TI-84 Plus family graphing calculators, the TI-Nspire CX model uses function notation f1(x)=. I like the opportunity to introduce function notation with my students if they haven't yet encountered it. Several items that are found on TI-84 Plus buttons are in TI-Nspire CX menu options: Window/Zoom, Trace, and Analyze Graph. To edit a function definition that was previously entered, display the entry line and press the up arrow to return to f1(x).
If the labels for the functions are in the way, move them: find the cursor arrow by swiping in a circular motion on the Touchpad. Swipe over to the label, and the cursor changes to an open hand. Press ctrl then click (center of Touchpad) to activate the "grabber hand" and swipe to move the label to a new location. Press enter or esc when done. You can also use del to remove the label altogether.
One of the most powerful features of the TI-Nspire CX graphing calculator is the ability to manipulate a function with Grab. Move the cursor to one of your functions and it will turn into either a four-way arrow (for translate shifts), a circular arrow (for rotate turns), or a two-way slant arrow (for dilate stretches). Experiment by grabbing different parts of functions and seeing what happens. Press ctrl then esc to Undo and return to the prior graph if desired.
Sometimes you want to study the relationships between several different mathematical representations. A TI-Nspire document is the perfect place to do so.
The TI-Nspire CX graphing calculator is like a computer because it can save and use multi-page documents. Press Home/ON and view the Home Screen. Press 2 to access My Documents and see what documents are on your calculator. There may be an "Examples" folder with a file called "Getting Started." Arrow to that file and press enter to open it. If the file isn't preloaded, you can access it here.
Within a document, press ctrl and the right arrow side of the Touchpad to move to the next page. Explore the many features of TI-Nspire CX graphing calculator shown in the "Getting Started" document. While in a document, you can go to the Scratchpad at any time for a quick calculation or graph. To leave a document, simply press Home/ON or use the cursor to click the close box in the upper right corner of the screen.
Be sure to test them out yourself and adapt them to meet your class objectives.
Often I'd like to create my own document for my students. This is easy to do from the TI-Nspire CX software (although it is also possible from the graphing calculator). I start by inserting a Notes page with a title or instructions for the students. Then I insert other pages for students to work through. Pages can be grouped into different problems, which is helpful because within a problem, all pages are dynamically linked and you can access all the functions, lists and variables you have used on any of the pages. Insert a new problem when you are ready.
For example, I can enter lists of forearm length and height on page 1.2, graph a scatterplot and line of best fit on page 1.3, and calculate to make predictions with the linear equation on page 1.4. The linked multiple representations enable students to make powerful mathematical connections and build understanding.
I find that having a short paper handout for my students to accompany the TI-Nspire CX document is helpful for them to record their mathematical thinking, observations and results. I can capture TI-Nspire CX screens from the software to use on the handout if desired. The ready-made activities on the Texas Instruments website include a Word file so you can edit it if you like.
These tips should get you started on your transition, but there is much more to explore about the TI-Nspire CX graphing calculator. Check out the on-demand Teachers Teaching with Technology™ professional development webinars and product tutorials.
