Some of the world's largest automakers are cutting emissions even as the US rolls back regulation
New York (CNN Business)Four of the world's largest carmakers -— Ford, Honda, Volkswagen and BMW — are going forward with plans to make more fuel-efficient vehicles for the US market, despite the Trump adminstration's plans to roll back the rules.
The companies struck a deal with air quality regulators in California, promising to deliver fleets of cars that average 50 miles per gallon by model year 2026, and they vowed to stick to that standard in all 50 states. The Washington Post first reported the news earlier Thursday.The move will essentially put the four automakers on track to comply with tougher emissions rules even as the Trump administration works to roll back policies put in place under President Barack Obama.Regulatory pressures around the world, including in Europe and China, are pushing automakers to produce electric vehicles. Automakers anticipate consumers will start buying more electric vehicles in the future as prices drop.
Automakers, fearing prolonged regulatory uncertainty, tell Trump to cut a deal with California on emissionsAutomakers are spending billions to develop electric vehicles and more fuel-efficient gas vehicles, and many fear regulatory uncertainty will set back their efforts. They were not thrilled by the Trump administration's policy shakeup.Read MoreThe Obama rules would have required automakers to produce vehicles with an average fuel economy of 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025 model year vehicles. Because of differences in the way fuel economy standards are calculated, the government's targets are considerably higher than the EPA numbers customers see on window stickers.A group of 17 leading automakers from around the world wrote to President Donald Trump in June asking him to strike a deal with California, which has led the fight for tougher rules on behalf of itself and 12 other US states.Ford (F), Honda (HMC), VW and BMW said in a joint statement that the deal they struck with the California Air Resources Board this week will be used to "preserve a single 50-state framework for the regulation of greenhouse gas.""A 50-state solution has always been our preferred path forward and we understand that any deal involves compromise," the companies said. "These terms will provide our companies much-needed regulatory certainty by allowing us to meet both federal and state requirements with a single national fleet, avoiding a patchwork of regulations while continuing to ensure meaningful greenhouse gas emissions reductions."

Investors May be About to Bail on This 'Safe' Asset
By Joseph Hogue • October 28, 2015 • Call & Put Option Buys
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note jumped to its highest close in two weeks Friday when a surprise rate cut by China's central bank boosted markets and eased demand for safe haven assets. The People's Bank of China cut its one-year lending and deposit rates by 0.25 percentage points to bolster economic growth.
Fears over a rate hike by the Federal Reserve have subsided lately. Little is expected from today's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting announcement, and investors put the odds of a rate hike in December at 34%.
#-ad_banner-#
Yet, even without an actual increase in the federal funds rate, several other factors are likely to drive interest rates higher through the end of the year. That's bad news for bond investors because bond prices fall as interest rates increase.
With today's trade, you could turn their pain into a 79% gain in less than three months.
Bonds Could Take a Hit Even if the Fed Does Nothing
As the Federal Reserve increases the fed funds rate — the rate banks charge each other on loaned reserves — the rate on all interest products increases. However, that's not the only thing that could cause U.S. bond yields to rise in the near term. China's policy measures, European interest rates and U.S. economic strength could also have an impact.
As I mentioned earlier, lower rates in China caused rates on the U.S. 10-year note to rise last week. But higher rates elsewhere could have the same effect. Let me explain…
While U.S. interest rates were relatively flat this year until recently, rates in Europe have surged. The average rate on the 10-year bond across the euro area has increased 21% since April, and the German bund has jumped more than five-fold during that time. That's important because rock-bottom rates in Europe have been blamed for strong buying of higher-yielding U.S. Treasuries.
With foreign rates increasing, the demand for U.S. bonds will decrease. Therefore, rates will have to move higher and bond prices lower to attract buyers.
U.S. economic strength could also negatively impact bond prices.
It looks increasingly likely we will see a strong holiday season. For instance, Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) is boosting its holiday hiring by 25%. The e-commerce giant said it will bring on 100,000 holiday workers, and that's in addition to the 25,000 full-time staff it recently hired. Plus, it just reported blowout numbers for the third quarter and expects sales to increase between 14% and 25% year over year in the holiday quarter.
On top of that, a labor shortage has been building for the past year, with the four-week average for initial unemployment claims falling to its lowest level since 1973. Retailers like Wal-Mart Stores (NYSE: WMT) have responded by raising wages.
An increase in wages should boost consumer sentiment and spending. This could convince investors that the Fed will raise rates faster than currently anticipated, and in the bond market the expectation of higher rates is often enough to send yields higher and prices lower.
Make 79% as This Not-so-Safe Bond Fund Falls
Against the potential for rising rates this year, investors have sought relative safety in shorter-term bonds like the iShares 7-10 Year Treasury ETF (NYSE: IEF). The fund is up 1.9% since the start of the year, while the longer maturity iShares 20+ Year Treasury ETF (NYSE: TLT) is down 1.3%.
The idea is that rising rates affect shorter-term bonds less and prices will fall more slowly. This thinking has led to false confidence in IEF, and coming losses could turn investor sentiment quickly.
With IEF trading for $108.03, we can buy the IEF Jan 107 Puts for $1.12. That is a put option with a $107 strike price that expires on Jan. 15. Each contract controls 100 shares, costing you $112 per contract.
This trade breaks even at $105.88 ($107 strike price minus $1.12 options premium), which is 2% below the current price.
Shares traded below $105 this summer and for much of 2014 and could retest that level as we approach a possible December rate hike and start getting sales data from the holiday season.
With IEF at $105, the option would be worth at least $2 ($107 strike price minus $105 ETF price) for a 79% return in 80 days. Set a good 'til cancelled (GTC) order at that price to take advantage of any quick increase in rates.
Expectations for a Fed rate hike pushed the yield on the 10-year Treasury note up almost 25% in two months this summer and helped halt the stock market's bull run. Even if the Fed postpones a rate increase through December, several catalysts exist to send bond prices lower. Traders who get positioned now can take advantage of the current false confidence in shorter-term bonds for a quick gain.

Newly-elected Member of Congress Rashida Tlaib is getting a lot of attention for her divisive language. Last week, she made headlines at an event in her honor, saying she would "impeach the motherf***er," in reference to President Donald Trump.
In this video, she's seen encouraging a couple of young girls to disparage Trump as well. This video was from November, but is another preview of the kind of thing we might see from Tlaib in the future.
Here, Tlaib says she "taught them what impeachment means" and assures them that she can "get rid of Trump" because she's a United States Congress Member. Outside of that making very little sense (one Member of Congress is clearly not able to impeach a President), it seems of little value to disrespect any sitting President in front of children in this way.
While it is important to engage youth in the merits of democracy and civics, there is a way to do so without feeding them partisan talking points they aren't old enough to understand. Tlaib's approach to politics only feeds the fire of incivility and disrespect that is causing so much fury these days. I hope she rethinks this approach.


What Is an Associate's Degree in Marketing?
An associate's degree in Marketing online helps introduce students to the basics of a career in marketing. Associate's programs often supply students with the skills to enact planning and strategy operations and/or to create marketing materials. While programs vary, students typically learn things like how to assist marketing departments with campaigns; project management for marketing departments; and/or financial basics and accounting in the field.
Associate's Marketing degrees are available to those who want a flexible and relatively quick-to-complete program. Online courses make obtaining a college degree flexible and convenient if you are already busy. Each night, you will sign into your online school portal to access assignments, digital readings, chatrooms, video, and other interactive learning material. Here, you can also virtually converse with your online instructor.
How do Qualify for an Associate's Degree in Marketing?
All higher education programs mandate that a student must possess a high school diploma or a GED equivalency. Additionally, prospective students will usually need to submit standardized test scores: either the ACT or the SAT. Beyond these requirements, an associate's degree does not usually demand any other qualifying courses or experience. A degree seeker in marketing should possess the ability to communicate well with a wide range of people, the ability to see the larger picture (while still being able to discern small details and possessing strong editing skills), and the ability to stay calm in fast-paced, front-facing work situations. If you have questions about your qualifications for a specific associate's degree program, don't be afraid to contact the prospective school's guidance counselors, teachers, and/or admissions officials so you can better understand what would be expected of you as a student.
Typically, completing an associate's degree in Marketing online takes about two years. However, many programs can be flexible to a student's schedule and needs, depending if you are currently working full time or raising a family. Most of these flexible associate's degree programs offer night classes or online classes, or even a part-time schedule, meaning a student could potentially earn their degree in as quick as 1.5 years. By the same token, a student could push through the work more slowly, when he or she has more time to focus and prioritize an associate's degree program.
The course load and selection for an online associate's degrees in Marketing can vary depending on certain schools' concentrations and strengths, but there are some classes that every graduate will take. These often include advertising strategy, macro and micro economics, retail tactics, introduction to market research, accounting 101, and introductory business courses. While associate's degrees are normally less specialized, a student can always choose electives that will help guide them toward a specific career.
According to the 2011 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), persons who have earned an associate's degree in their field are much more likely to be employed during this tumultuous economic climate than persons who simply possess a high school diploma. An associate's degree in marketing typically qualifies persons for positions like assistantships in marketing departments, or entry-level marketing support positions. According to BLS, the need for these kinds of workers is projected to grow in the coming decade.

You can tell this is a proper concert hall; as the members of A Winged Victory For The Sullen walk onstage, there is quiet.
No clapping, only the sound of five-hundred people shuffling in their seats. The hall is Milton Court, and this is to be the AWVFTS's second of two sold-out shows there, to coincide with the release of their latest album, Atomos.
If the silence feels awkward at first, when the music begins with soft, breathy swirls of synth it suddenly becomes appropriate. Atomos is a slow and drifting work — a combination of classical and electronic ambience and minimalism. Simple yet beautiful progressions of piano and strings constantly swell and wind upwards, reaching for the stars with an aching melancholy, while icy electronic textures and sub-bass pulses wash in and out, holding the flow. At times reminiscent of Philip Glass — also Low, and Boards Of Canada — the album is reproduced in it's entirety, non-stop, tracks drifting into one another. My head starts to nod. This feel like a paean to the universe, searching and sad. As the lights dim and the final sonic trails subside, I can feel the silence return to the space, but now it is considerably more relaxed.
You can catch the show again on Boiler Room TV here. AWVFTS are back in London for the final show of their European tour on 6 February 2015 at Kings Place.

Lucien Rivard ( - ) est un criminel québécois ayant participé, dans les années 1950, au trafic de l'héroïne sur le sol cubain pour le marché nord-américain à l'aide de la French Connection.

Emprisonné à la prison de Bordeaux (Québec), il s'en échappe peu de temps après. Repris, il est extradé aux États-Unis, où il est de nouveau emprisonné.

Biographie

Lucien Rivard est né le  dans la paroisse de Sainte-Cécile à Montréal. Il est le fils de Joseph Rivard et Belzémire Demers. Il s'est marié le  à Saint-Maurice-Duvernay à Laval avec Marie Beaupré.

Dans les années 1940, il devient cambrioleur et passeur de drogues, il a fait affaire avec la French Connection, qui lui fournit de l'héroïne, durant toute sa carrière de criminel. Il est d'abord considéré comme un escroc insignifiant (petty crook), mais dans les années 1950, il s'établit à Cuba, exploite un casino, s'engage dans le trafic de l'héroïne (dont il contrôle 75 % de la vente, l'importation et l'exportation en Amérique du Nord ) alimenté par les réseaux de la French Connection. En 1958, il revient à Laval (Québec) et continue ses activités interlopes (drogues, armes, etc.) sous le couvert de l'exploitation de la société « Domaine Idéal ».

En 1965, ses activités le conduisent à la prison de Bordeaux au Québec, dont il s'échappe quatre mois plus tard. La légende dit qu'il a escaladé le mur à l'aide d'un boyau d'arrosage, obtenu sous prétexte d'arroser la patinoire de la prison, alors qu'il fait 10 degrés à l'extérieur, mais il aurait en fait corrompu ses gardiens. Sa cavale dure quatre mois avant qu'il soit repris puis extradé vers les États-Unis. Pendant son absence, il écrit des lettres à diverses personnalités, dont Lester B. Pearson, Premier ministre du Canada, dans lesquelles il déclare : .

Lucien Rivard est mort le  à Laval à l'âge de 87 ans.

Conséquences de l'évasion de Bordeaux

À la suite de l'évasion de Rivard, des soupçons de corruption ont pesé sur le gouvernement canadien. Une enquête a été instituée et Guy Favreau, le ministre de la Justice, a été contraint de démissionner.

L'évasion de Rivard a inspiré la chanson The Gallic Pimpernel. Quant à l'agence de presse La Presse canadienne, elle a décerné à l'intéressé le titre de Canadien de l'année 1965 (Canadian Newsmaker of the Year). En 2006, on annonce le financement de la production du film intitulé Le Piège américain réalisé par Charles Binamé avec l'acteur Rémy Girard dans le rôle de Rivard. Le film sort le . Le scénario est très librement inspiré de la vie de Rivard.

Par ailleurs, en 2008, un livre lui est consacré.

console.log(moment("11-Apr-2017 13:00 UTC+00:00", "D-MMM-YYYY HH:mm:Z").format('x'));
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.18.1/moment.min.js"></script>

It is giving an extra hour.

A: Your string doesn't match the format.  In particular, "13:00 UTC+00:00" does not match "HH:mm:Z".  So the time zone is being ignored entirely. If you are getting UTC+1:00, it's because that's where you are. I get UTC-4:00.
If you remove the : between mm and Z, or alternatively, add one between 00 and UTC, it will work:

console.log(moment("11-Apr-2017 13:00 UTC+00:00", "D-MMM-YYYY HH:mm Z").format('x'));
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.18.1/moment.min.js"></script>

A: Moment counts your timezone, to get the time without timezone offset (that is, without getting 1 hour added to your time) you can use either of the following
moment.utc(new Date(<date>)).format("YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss")

OR
moment(new Date(<date>)).utc().format("YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss")

Babysitting Statistics
Have you ever wondered about some of the statistics associated with babysitting? Many of them are exactly what you'd expect, while others are rather counter-intuitive.
In this article, I'll outline some interesting babysitting statistics that I've come across in my research that might give you some food for thought!
Our graphs, statistics, and infographics are free to use providing you link back to this page as the source. This allows people to always see the latest stats when we update them.
There are Hardly Any Male Babysitters
According to Pricenomics only 2.9% of babysitters are male.
The disparity between how many men versus women are babysitters was greater than any other job I could find. A whopping 97.1% of all babysitters are female.
There could be several different societal reasons for this. Women are generally seen as the more nurturing and loving of the sexes. And babysitting isn't something that would be classified as a traditionally "masculine" job. So there could be a lot of stigma surrounding being a male babysitter. Men who babysit could face jokes and even insults or judgment from family and friends.
Many people also carry on the incorrect belief that male childcare providers are more likely to physically or sexually assault children in their care. On why this simply isn't true, check out my article Is it Safe to Hire a Male Babysitter? which goes in-depth on the topic.
Are you a male and thinking about becoming a babysitter? Read this article first Can Men Babysit? to learn why there aren't many male babysitters, you can actually use this to your advantage.
Leaving Your Kids With A Babysitter Is Actually Pretty Safe
Only 4.2% of criminal offences against children under age 6 were committed by babysitters (source)
While male babysitters especially face a stigma, there's a general idea some people have that babysitters, in general, are unsafe. In my opinion, this is probably perpetuated by decades of movies and television shows which portray babysitters in a bad light.
Start your babysitting business today!
If you watch any kind of entertainment with babysitters in it, they're usually portrayed as being incompetent and letting the kids they're watching get completely out of control. It's quite a popular comedy trope, and most shows have at least one episode where the kids are essentially jumping on the couch and eating ice cream while the babysitter is pulling their hair out. In other forms of media like horror movies, babysitters may be portrayed as the villain that treats kids poorly or steals from the family.
While a small minority of babysitters are bad apples, in general, these ideas about babysitters couldn't be further from the truth. Most babysitters are responsible, mature people who enjoy caring for kids or just need a part-time job. If you hire a babysitter that has completed a babysitting course as well as First Aid or CPR, it's very unlikely you'll have any kind of problem.
In fact, one study found that only 4.2% of all criminal offenses against children under age 6 were committed by babysitters. That's less than the percentage that either family members or strangers account for.
The Average Hourly Rate For A Babysitter in the US is $17.73
Average babysitter hourly rates in the US (source)
Bad news for parents who are looking for a cheap date night! One of the latest 2020 studies found that parents in the United States pay $17.73 per hour to have a babysitter watch a single child, that's more than double the federal minimum wage.
For two kids, parents can expect to pay $20.30 per hour. And $21.49 for three kids!
The same study found that 79% of parents said that childcare was one of their families biggest expenses.
And 28% of parents said they will spend between $30k and $75k this year on childcare!
Babysitting is already a very fulfilling job if you care about kids. Check out my article Why Become a Babysitter? (11 Reasons Why it's a Fulfilling Job) to learn more. But now you can also add great pay to that list!
Educated Babysitters Earn More
It makes sense that babysitters with more education or training earn more. But now we have a study to actually back that up (Source).
66% of parents interviewed said they would pay more for a babysitter that has safety training.
33% of parents will pay more for a babysitter with state-level child care certification.
And 41% said they'd pay more for a babysitter with an early education degree.
Honestly, I'm surprised those percentages aren't even higher! It's hard to put a price on the peace of mind that parents can get from knowing that their babysitter has lots of training and education.
Top Things That Parents Hate Babysitters Doing The Most
Top things that parents hate their babysitters doing (source)
Top of the list for things that parents hate babysitters doing the most, all seem to revolve around the use of electronics.
14% of parents said excessive texting was their biggest pet peeve. For 11% it was social media. And 10% hated when babysitters watch television while they're working.
So I guess the moral of the story is to keep the television off and your phone in your pocket if you want parents to be happy!
More Than Half of Babysitters Are Unpaid
Perhaps bad news for the babysitting job market. 51% of babysitters are unpaid!
I guess it makes sense since the same study also showed that only about 18% of all babysitters aren't relatives or friends. More people than you'd imagine probably opt to leave their kids with grandparents or other relatives, rather than paying for a sitter (Source).
69% of Parents Say Good Babysitters Are Hard to Find
This one should be good news if you fancy yourself as a good babysitter. Most parents report having trouble finding a babysitter they approve of (Source).
If you think you're a great babysitter and you're not constantly booked, maybe you're just not advertising your services widely enough!
Need help with finding more babysitting work? check out my article How To Promote Your Babysitting Business (8 Free Techniques) for some ideas.
Although in Canada the story seems to be a bit different. Two-thirds of parents there say they don't have difficulty finding child care arrangements. (Source)
Childcare Is Most Common When Both Parents Work Outside The Home
71% of households where both partners work will pay for childcare for a preschool child (Source).
As kids get older, that number drops a bit to 49% for school-aged children (kids between ages of 5 and 14.)
Most parents (86%) who use child care arrangements do so on a regular basis. So if you're a babysitter, you should really be aiming to get recurring jobs where you work the same time and place every week, if possible.
Younger Babysitters Might Be More Prepared Than You Think
I think there's a common misconception that younger and less experienced babysitters are probably less safe to leave your kids with.
But a study from Penn State University on the emergency preparedness of 11 to 13-year-old babysitters shows that most of them are actually pretty prepared for dealing with tough situations (Source).
About half of the kids in that age range who are babysitters were trained in CPR and most had First Aid training. About 10% of them had even called 911 at some point!
Based on this study, I feel a bit safer with the idea of leaving my kids with a babysitter of that age. The biggest drawback the study pointed out for 11 to 13-year-old babysitters was a lack of attentiveness. So if you do hire younger babysitters, you probably just want to make sure your own children are old enough that a lack of attention won't cause any serious harm.
How young is too young to start babysitting? Check out my article What Age Can You Start Babysitting? (Laws & Maturity Requirements) for details!
Parents Want More Government Help With Childcare
More than two-thirds of Americans think that either the government or the businesses they work for should be doing more to help fund childcare for parents who work. However Congress in the US still pretty much fails to address this issue. And childcare funding in America tends to lag behind what's available in other developed countries like Canada, the UK, and Australia (Source).
The Word "Babysitter" Became A Thing In The 1930s
The word "babysitter" first showed up in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1937 (Source).
Even though terms like babysitter and babysitting only came into existence in the 1930s, it's actually one of the world's oldest professions. We just previously used other words like nanny, nurse, or childrearing to refer to the services that babysitters provide instead.
Another fun fact. The words house-sitter and pet-sitter are derived from the word babysitter.
Most American Day Care Centers Are Rated "Fair" or "Poor"
A survey by the National Institute of Child Health Development found that most daycare organizations in the United States were rated fair or poor. Only about 10% of these organizations were found to provide high-quality care. While experts recommend daycares should have one caregiver for every 3 infants between 6 months and 18 months, only a third of daycares actually met that standard (Source).
That could be good news for babysitters! If parents are getting fed up with the quality of care that their daycare provides, they might turn to sitters to provide the one-on-one attention they feel their child deserves.
Sometimes it's interesting to look into the studies and surveys that involve babysitting. In some cases, these statistics might just further back up what we thought we already knew. While other times, they might point out something completely counter-intuitive than what society normally believes about some aspect of babysitting.
What statistic from this list did you find the most surprising or interesting?

Babysitting Age: When Can You Start? (Laws & Maturity Requirements)


Alas, Easter Sunday has come and gone, and our homes are riddled with crumbs, green paper grass, remnants of candy wrappers and plastic egg carcasses. They're also riddled with crushed hopes and dreams here in Miami, as many of us head back to school or work after Spring Break. It's also just Monday, so that in itself is terrible. But I'm here to bring you some fun ideas that are sure to cheer you and your tot up if you're in a sour mood. Today, I bring you this post in hopes that I'm not too late, and that you still haven't picked up those eggs and tossed them in the trash! I love a good upcycle, so this post is dedicated to putting those eggs to good use well beyond your egg hunts. As a preschool teacher, I'm also a stickler for developmental activities, especially the kinds that are age appropriate, and that's just what I'm bringing you in this post! These activities are great for babies 9 months all the way up to 2 years, and I'll break down just why and how under each. So let's get cracking (pun intended)!
No soup in sight! (Clearly, I've got puns for days right now.) For this, you'll need a tall, round canister, like a Pringles container. Baby can have fun dropping eggs in and pouring them out. You can encourage them to practice rolling the canister and eggs around as well. This is great for the 9-12 month stage, when baby should be showing an interest in rolling wheeled toys or 12-18 months when baby is practicing placing small objects into small containers!
So this one is just fun and great for baby's fine motor skills. If you follow me on Instagram, you've heard me talk about egg-shaped art supplies being the most developmentally appropriate for kids under 3. We use egg-shaped sidewalk chalk and crayons, and they're super easy for my little guy to grip at 16 months. So stamping the Easter eggs themselves in some Tempera paint is a simple and fun activity for any little Van Gogh!
We did it! Ready for my celebratory high-five, Mama!
All you need here is the eggs themselves. Open them up and have baby practice stacking the halves on top of each other. That's it! This is another good fine motor activity for kids to practice pincer grasping the pieces, and also good for 18-24 month olds who should be working on stacking 6-7 stackable objects. Baby can also practice differentiating "on" and "in" with a bin and some direction from you, which is a great 12-18 month skill. It's funny how the simplest activities have the most endless possibilities!
Just look at those little fingers working so hard.
Another activity with just the eggs, though you can easily enhance it with visuals like flash cards or construction paper. Separate your egg halves again, scramble them up and have your child find the matching parts. You can modify this activity for younger babes by showing them only one color at a time and having them choose the matching end from a smaller selection of two or three colors. This is a great activity to start practicing even with a 1 year old, just to introduce the colors into baby's vocabulary. You can expect correct matches to start happening around 18-24 months. If you have different sized eggs on hand, you can also practice size words and sorting those! Letting baby try to put the two parts together is also great for fine motor skills.
Most any baby loves the sounds and sensations of ripping paper. Put that to good use and give your kiddo some old tissue paper or some of those junk flyers we all get in the mail if you're not a germaphobe to rip up. Have your little one practice stuffing the ripped paper, or any of that grassy basket filling laying around into the eggs. More fine motor skills at work, and great for 12-18 month olds practicing placing small items into small containers.
Use your kiddo's natural love of all things noise to your advantage. This is the most complex activity, if you can even call it that. In addition to your egg, you'll need two plastic spoons, washi or duct tape and some small beans or rice. If you don't want a mess on your hands, you can fill the eggs with rice or beans yourself, or have older babies help by letting them scoop the filling from some rectangular Tupperware, or even a shoebox. Once your eggs are filled, place your spoons inward facing on opposite sides of your egg, like they're giving it a little spoon hug, and hold them in place with your tape. Now your little one can shake, shake, shake and groove to their heart's content!
We tried all of these activities at home (even though I totally forgot my camera for half of them) and they were a hit, so I hope they will be in your house with your tots, too! So hop to it (had to do one more), hope you all had a wonderful Easter full of love, and have fun!


After the first week of July, all the programs of Performing Life started again. Beside the normal programs of Performing Life, there were again nice extra activities for the Participants! This month started with 10 (!!) great volunteers from different countries and with different talents. With so many people, we could do a lot in terms of updating our website, preparing Escarlet's Campaign, visiting families, etc. It was a very successful and cheerfull month! Francy, a Colombian theater/dance teacher spent a week with us. She gave a workshop, helped in the Circus and School Support Program, and she also helped apply makeup and paint the faces of the children for the Cochabamba show in late July, where a large crowd gathered to see the children perform! Clara, our Spanish Volunteer, organized together with Adaly and other volunteers a Circus Olympics day where the children were given various exercises with which they could win nice prices (circus products)!

For Digital Electronics courses requiring a comprehensive approach to Digital concepts with an emphasis on PLD programming and the integration of the latest Quartus II software. This text presents a step-by-step, practical approach to an enhanced and easy understanding of digital circuitry fundamentals with coverage of CPLD's, VHDL and Altera's Quartus II software. Coverage begins with the basic logic gates used to perform arithmetic operations, and proceeds up through sequential logic and memory circuits used to interface to modern PCs. The author combines extensive teaching experience with practical examples in order to bring entry level students up to speed in this emerging field.
This Second Edition continues to use programmable logic as the primary vehicle for teaching digital design principles, and maintains its cutting-edge status by updating to Altera's newest Quartus II software, the most current method of digital design implementation. This Windows-based software allows users to design, test, and program CPLD designs in text-based (VHDL) and graphic (schematic entry) formats. The Second Edition introduces CPLDs earlier in the teaching sequence, laying a solid foundation for more advanced principles without neglecting underlying digital fundamentals such as Boolean algebra, logic minimization, and combinational and sequential circuits. VHDL and Quartus II applications are provided throughout.
This ninth edition of Digital Electronics: A Practical Approach with VHDL provides the fundamentals of digital circuitry to students in engineering and technology curricula. The digital circuits are introduced using fixed-function 7400 ICs and evolve into FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) programmed with VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language). (Note: Those schools not wishing to develop logic using VHDL and FPGAs can completely skip those sections of the textbook without affecting the continuity of the remainder of the text, which describes logic design and implementation using 7400-series ICs.) Coverage begins with the basic logic gates used to perform arithmetic operations and proceeds through sequential logic and memory circuits used to interface to modern PCs. Professor Kleitz uses his vast experience of teaching electronics online and in class from his best-selling textbooks to know what it takes for an entry-level student to be brought up to speed in this emerging field. It was important to design this new textbook to present practical examples, be easy to read, and provide all of the information necessary for motivated students to teach themselves this new subject matter. This makes it ideal for learning in an online environment as well as from conventional inclass lectures. Digital electronic ICs (integrated circuits) and FPGAs are the "brains" behind common microprocessor-based systems such as those found in automobiles, personal computers, and automated factory control systems. The most exciting recent development in this field is that students now have the choice to design, simulate, and implement their circuits using a programming language called VHDL instead of wiring individual gates and devices to achieve the required function. Each topic area in this text consistently follows a very specific sequence of steps, making the transition from problem definition, to practical example, to logic IC implementation, to VHDL and FPGA implementation. To accomplish this, the text first introduces the theory of operation of the digital logic and then implements the design in integrated circuit form (see Figure P–1). Once the fixed-function IC logic is thoroughly explained, the next step is to implement the design as a graphic design file and then to implement it using the VHDL hardware descriptive language, all within the free version of the Altera Quartus® II development software. Several examples are used to bolster the student's understanding of the subject before moving on to system-level design and troubleshooting applications of the logic. This step-by-step method has proven over the years to be the most effective method to build the fundamental understanding of digital electronics before proceeding to implement the logic design in VHDL. The Altera Quartus® II software is a free download that allows students to either graphically design their circuit by drawing the logic (using logic gates or 7400 macrofunctions) or use VHDL to define their logic. The design can then be simulated on a PC before using the same software to download the logic to an FPGA on one of the commercially available FPGA programmer boards, such as the Altera DE2 illustrated in this text. The first eight editions were developed from an accumulation of 28 years of class notes. Teaching online from the eighth edition for the past 3 years has given me the opportunity to review several suggestions from my students and other faculty regarding such things as improving a circuit diagram, clarifying an explanation, and redesigning an application to make it easier to duplicate in lab. More than 140 schools have adopted the eighth edition. To write the ninth edition, I have taken advantage of the comments from these schools as well as my own experience and market research to develop an even more practical and easier-to-learn-from textbook. In addition to rewriting several of the examples and applications based on my classroom and online teaching experience, I have added the following material: • Greatly expanded coverage of programmable logic devices • Steps involved in converting from 7400-series ICs to FPGAs • Beginning- and intermediate-level VHDL programming taught by example (Note: VHDL and FPGA coverage is optional, and its omission will not affect the remainder of the text.) • New basic and intermediate-level problem sets • New MultiSIM® examples and problems to help facilitate online learning and experimentation • Real-world and "green" applications • Several new and revised annotated figures • WWW references throughout Chapter Organization Basically, the text can be divided into two halves: Chapters 1 to 8 cover basic digital logic and combinational logic, and Chapters 9 to 18 cover sequential logic and digital systems. Chapters 1 and 2 provide the procedures for converting between the various number systems and introduce the student to the electronic signals and switches used in digital circuitry. Chapter 3 covers the basic logic gates and introduces the student to timing analysis and troubleshooting techniques. Chapter 4 explains how to implement designs using FPGAs. Chapter 5 shows how several of the basic gates can be connected together to form combinational logic. Boolean algebra, De Morgan's theorem, VHDL programming, and Karnaugh mapping are used to reduce the logic to its simplest form. Chapters 6, 7, and 8 discuss combinational logic used to provide more advanced functions, such as parity checking, arithmetic operations, and code converting. The second half of this book begins with a discussion of the operating characteristics and specifications of the TTL and CMOS logic families (Chapter 9). Chapter 10 introduces flip-flops and the concept of sequential timing analysis. Chapter 11 makes the reader aware of the practical limitations of digital ICs and some common circuits that are used in later chapters to facilitate the use of medium-scale ICs. Chapters 12 and 13 expose the student to the operation and use of several common medium-scale ICs and their VHDL equivalents used to implement counter and shift register systems. Chapter 14 deals with oscillator and timing circuits built with digital ICs and with the 555 timer IC. Chapter 15 teaches the theory behind analog and digital conversion schemes and the practical implementation of ADC and DAC IC converters. Chapter 16 covers semiconductor, magnetic, and optical memory as they apply to PCs and microprocessor systems. Chapter 17 introduces microprocessor hardware and software to form a bridge between digital electronics and a follow-up course in microprocessors. Chapter 18 provides a working knowledge of one of today's most popular microcontrollers, the 8051. The book concludes with several appendices used to supplement the chapter material. Prerequisites Although not mandatory, it is helpful if students using this text have an understanding of, or are concurrently enrolled in, a basic electricity course. Otherwise, all of the fundamental concepts of basic electricity required to complete this text are presented in Appendix F. Margin Annotations Icons Several annotations are given in the page margins throughout the text. These are intended to highlight particular points that were made on the page. They can be used as the catalyst to develop a rapport between the instructor and the students and to initiate online team discussions among the students. Four different icons are used to distinguish between the annotations. Common Misconception: These annotations point out areas of digital electronics that have typically been stumbling blocks for students and need careful attention. Pointing out these potential problem areas helps students avoid making related mistakes. Team Discussion: These annotations are questions that tend to initiate a discussion about a particular topic. The instructor can use them as a means to develop cooperative learning by encouraging student interaction. Helpful Hint: These annotations offer suggestions for circuit analysis and highlight critical topics presented in that area of the text. Students use these tips to gain insights regarding important concepts. Inside Your PC: These annotations are used to illustrate practical applications of the theory in that section as it is applied inside a modern PC. This will help the student to understand many of the terms used to describe the features that define the capability of a PC. Basic Problem Sets A key part of learning any technical subject matter is for the student to have practice solving problems of varying difficulty. The problems at the end of each chapter are grouped together by section number. Within each section are several basic problems designed to get the student to solve a problem using the fundamental information presented in the chapter. In addition to the basic problems, there are three other problem types: D (Design): Problems designated with the letter D ask the student to modify an existing circuit or to design an original circuit to perform a specific task. This type of exercise stimulates creative thinking and instills a feeling of accomplishment on successful completion of a circuit design. T (Troubleshooting): Problems designated with the letter T present the student with a malfunctioning circuit to be diagnosed or ask for a procedure to follow to test for proper circuit operation. This develops the student's analytical skills and prepares him or her for troubleshooting tasks that would typically be faced on the job. C (Challenging): Problems designated with the letter C are the most challenging to solve. They require a thorough understanding of the material covered and go a step beyond by requiring the student to develop some of his or her own strategies to solve a problem that is different from the examples presented in the chapter. This also expands the student's analytical skills and develops critical thinking techniques. MultiSIM® (National Instruments) is a software simulation tool that is used to reinforce the theory presented in each chapter. It provides an accurate simulation of digital and analog circuit operations along with a simulation of instruments used by technicians to measure IC, component, and circuit characteristics. With the purchase of this software, you have the ability to build and test most of the circuits presented in this text. This provides a great avenue for in-class as well as online experimentation. Several MultiSIM® examples and problems are included within each chapter (see Figure P–3). The textbook companion website provides all of the circuit files and instructions needed to solve each circuit. There are three types of problems: (1) circuit interaction problems require the student to change input values and take measurements at the outputs to verify circuit operation, (2) design problems require the student to design, or modify, a circuit to perform a particular task, and (3) troubleshooting problems require the student to find and fix the fault that exists in the circuit that is given.
Rapid Prototyping of Digital Systems: Quartus II Edition provides an exciting and challenging laboratory component for undergraduate digital logic and computer design courses using FPGAs and CAD tools for simulation and hardware implementation. The more advanced topics and exercises also make this text useful for upper level courses in digital logic, programmable logic, and embedded systems. This new version of the widely used Rapid Prototyping of Digital Systems, Second Edition, now uses Altera's new Quartus II CAD tool and includes laboratory projects for Altera's UP 2 and the new UP 3 FPGA board. Rapid Prototyping of Digital Systems: Quartus II Edition includes four tutorials on the Altera Quartus II and NIOS II tool environment, an overview of programmable logic, and IP cores with several easy-to-use input and output functions. These features were developed to help students get started quickly. Early design examples use schematic capture and IP cores developed for the Altera UP FPGA boards. VHDL is used for more complex designs after a short introduction to VHDL-based synthesis. New to this edition is an overview of System-on-a-Programmable Chip (SOPC) technology and SOPC design examples for the UP3 using Altera's new NIOS II Processor hardware and C software development tools.
The perfect introduction to digital concepts, applications, and design, Digital Design with CPLD Applications uses a logical organization of topics, clear explanations, and current examples to present key information in a way that is easy to grasp. Unique in its approach, this book covers combinational and sequential logic circuits using CPLDs while still covering circuit design at the gate level using TTL/CMOS devices. The book begins by introducing combinational logic, including detailed explanations for implementing circuits in Altera Quartus II software and CPLDs. The material continues to be presented at the gate level, preparing readers to successfully navigate more complicated areas like functional circuits. Using formal problem-solving concepts, combinational design is then covered, which includes a large combinational design that includes the building and simulation of each component, marking a valuable departure from traditional books in the field which do not cover large-scale design at a combinational level. Additional coverage includes sequential circuits with an emphasis on relevant and useful circuits, and microprocessor and memory concepts.
This text offers a comprehensive treatment of VHDL and its applications to the design and simulation of real, industry-standard circuits. It focuses on the use of VHDL rather than solely on the language, showing why and how certain types of circuits are inferred from the language constructs and how any of the four simulation categories can be implemented. It makes a rigorous distinction between VHDL for synthesis and VHDL for simulation. The VHDL codes in all design examples are complete, and circuit diagrams, physical synthesis in FPGAs, simulation results, and explanatory comments are included with the designs. The text reviews fundamental concepts of digital electronics and design and includes a series of appendixes that offer tutorials on important design tools including ISE, Quartus II, and ModelSim, as well as descriptions of programmable logic devices in which the designs are implemented, the DE2 development board, standard VHDL packages, and other features. All four VHDL editions (1987, 1993, 2002, and 2008) are covered.This expanded second edition is the first textbook on VHDL to include a detailed analysis of circuit simulation with VHDL testbenches in all four categories (nonautomated, fully automated, functional, and timing simulations), accompanied by complete practical examples. Chapters 1--9 have been updated, with new design examples and new details on such topics as data types and code statements. Chapter 10 is entirely new and deals exclusively with simulation. Chapters 11--17 are also entirely new, presenting extended and advanced designs with theoretical and practical coverage of serial data communications circuits, video circuits, and other topics. There are many more illustrations, and the exercises have been updated and their number more than doubled.
Fundamentals of Digital Logic with VHDL Design teaches the basic design techniques for logic circuits. It emphasizes the synthesis of circuits and explains how circuits are implemented in real chips. Fundamental concepts are illustrated by using small examples, which are easy to understand. Then, a modular approach is used to show how larger circuits are designed. The book emphasizes CAD through the use of Altera's Quartus II CAD software, a state-of-the-art digital circuit design package. This software produces automatic mapping of designs written in VHDL into Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLDs).
This lab manual, written around software and hardware developments of the past ten years, focuses on the fundamentals of digital electronics and use of Max+Plus II software by Altera Corporation. Lab sequences start with digital gates and logic control circuits, progress to MSI devices, latches and flip-flops, and cover clock dependent circuits, and the LPM_MACRO functions available in the software.

The Vionic Relief Full Length Orthotic can accommodate custom orthotics or replace the factory made insoles that come with new pairs of shoes. This arch support orthotic is designed with Vionic's Tri-Planar Motion Control technology to not only improve foot functionality, but also help realign lower limbs, encourage proper posture, and reduce excessive pronation . The nylon topcloth incorporates EcoFresh to help combat bacteria that causes bad foot odor. The orthotic is made with EVA material for added cushioning, plus, pads at the heel and forefoot areas provide shock absorption to minimize impact on hard surfaces. The Vionic Relief Length Orthotic is APMA approved and will help reduce foot fatigue, arch pain, heel pain, back pain, knee pain and discomfort caused by plantar fasciitis.
I use these and they have made my feet happy. Other brands were only so so.
I got a pair for my husband and he didn't like them and went back to the previous kind.
They are less expensive than SuperFeet which is a plus, so if you're willing to try them, do it.
I have pretty bad plantar fasciitis and have been looking for inserts to help make walking easier. These inserts made my feet hurt worse than the original inserts that came in my shoes. The arch support hit in the wrong place (and yes, I did size them to my shoe and started out wearing them for short periods to break them in) and there wasn't much cushion at all in the heel. Do not recommend.
I already have some of these and I bought several more so I can have them in all my shoes. I used to have to move them from shoe to shoe!
I simply couldn't live without these. I used to have terrible foot pain until i found them.
these insoles are as comfortable as their flip flops that I have been buying...now I can have the same great support in all my shoes!

Alan Jackson Pays Tribute to Merle Haggard on New Album 'Where Have You Gone'
By Addie Moore | May 14, 2021
Alan Jackson's first studio album in six years, Where Have You Gone, arrived on May 14. It stays true to the stories of family, faith and fun that Jackson's long upheld as key elements of "real school" country music.
To really show us how it's done, Jackson paid tribute to one of his musical heroes, Merle Haggard, with a cover of "That's The Way Love Goes."
Johnny Rodriguez scored a No. 1 in 1973 with the Lefty Frizzell and Sanger D. Shafer co-write. A decade later, The Hag took it back to the top of Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart.
At this point in his life and Hall of Fame career, Jackson's name and voice don't seem out of place next to those of Rodriguez, Frizzell and Haggard, which might just be the most telling takeaway from the whole album.
Jackson wrote 15 of the new album's 21 songs, with outside cuts by rising star Hailey Whitters and Jackson's go-to producer since 1990's Here in the Real World, Keith Stegall.
Six of the 21 recordings made the rounds online before the album release date . The most recent of these, "I Can Be That Something," is a tale of broken hearts and dingy bars that's yet another Jackson original that would've suited the catalog of George Jones.
Three new songs accompanied April 2's album release news: a title track bemoaning the lack of country music on country radio, the sentimental "Things That Matter" and another timeless drinking song, "Way Down in My Whiskey."

As Jackson fans have come to expect from the singer of "Drive (For Daddy Gene)" and "Home," three noteworthy songs reflect his family life. "Where Her Heart Has Always Been" was written for the funeral of Jackson's mother and includes an old recording of her reading the Bible. "You'll Always Be My Baby" and "I Do" were written with the weddings of Jackson's three daughters (the stars of the before-mentioned "Drive's" music video) in mind.
Jackson climbed to the top of country music as part of Nashville's Class of '89. He's since charted 66 singles, 35 of which reached No. 1.

"Where Have You Gone" Lyrics (Written by Alan Jackson)
It's been way too long since you slipped away
I just can't forget, I can't pretend it's ok
No other one could ever replace you
So I'll keep on believing and dreaming of you
Soft steel guitar oh how I've missed you
Words from the heart let me hear you again
Sounds from the soul, fiddle I need you
Sweet country music where have you gone?
Sweet country music please come back home
The songs from your memory I cling to today
I won't let them leave me, I won't let them fade
I don't care what th?y do, you're still the one
I'll b? here in Nashville 'til you return
The airwaves are waiting ,please come back home
