Kindergarten has been an integral part of the U.S. elementary education system since its inception in 1837. Conceptualized by the educational philosopher, Friedrich Froebel, kindergarten became a locale in which children were recognized for their distinct individual needs and intellectual capacities.
Froebel was able to decisively determine through his exhaustive research that adolescent brain development grew at its greatest momentum up until the age of three. This finding subsequently led to his efforts in developing and retooling the early-childhood educational practices that existed at the time, with an emphasis being placed on the vast array of differing learning styles.
Froebel’s work has resulted in kindergarten classes and kindergarten teachers with targeted lesson plans today incorporating a wide spectrum of play-based activities that are child-centered and foster parent involvement. Through a multitude of activities such as music, games, and picture books, preschoolers are able to engage in activities that are pleasurable to their senses while also discovering how things operate and being able to assign meaning to those things.
In addition to making discoveries about the world around them, kindergarteners will develop their fine motor skills and spend significant amounts interfacing with their peers and learning valuable social skills.
Critically imperative to preschoolers and kindergarten kids is the introduction of cognitive-building tools in the form of books and other reading materials to get them reading - and enjoying reading - from a very young age. The experience gained from the incorporation of the early introduction of the library and reading leads to broader, richer vocabularies, and reinforces the relationship between reading and pleasure early on, which will, in turn, prove to be a boon for a child’s educational success.
It is fundamentally important for parents to be aware of the rapid connections being formed in their child’s brain every day for the first five years of their life. Up to 90% of connective brain developments occur by this young age and these connections form the essential building blocks and foundation for a child’s capacity to learn, experience, and grow on an intellectual level.
Books are an essential component and building block in a child’s intellectual foundation. A multitude of research dictates that children who are read to ultimately go on to become better adept at reading, building more extensive vocabularies, and succeeding in school from an early age. Providing literature-rich environments for children not only serves to help build their vocabularies and foster success in school but also provide extensive opportunities for children to discover their inner creative selves and learn to express their individuality in valuable ways.
Featured below is a collection of titles geared towards kindergarten children that assist in helping them build reading comprehension, identifying main ideas, and determining importance. The titles have been carefully assessed for age-appropriateness, vocabulary, and illustrations, and are some of the most popular books used today by kindergarten educators. Read on below to learn more about these reading essentials that are found in classrooms everywhere.
“Kindergarten Here I Come” is authored by D.J. Steinberg and Mark Chambers and is available in traditional text format as well as a Kindle edition. Geared towards children aged 3 to 5, “Kindergarten Here I Come” features vivid illustrations, bright colors, and an exciting storyline that will appeal to all children getting ready to make the transition to kindergarten.
The story centers around a young boy who is preparing to make the move from preschool to kindergarten. Throughout his excitement, he shares a dialogue with his enthusiastic mother, as they begin to prepare for his first day of kindergarten.
Young children will relate to the main character’s mounting excitement as he hurriedly prepares for school and ensures he has his new backpack, jacket, lunch, and school supplies.
Throughout the story, typical kindergarten milestones are described that serve to provide encouragement and motivation to incoming kindergarteners and the experiences they will face.
A basic staple in every kindergarten room and household with young children, “Kindergarten, Here I Come” is a classic that will resonate will parents and children alike.
The Night Before Kindergarten centers around the first day of kindergarten. Have your children join the other kids as they get ready for their first day by gathering school supplies, getting their backpacks readied and posing for pictures as they say goodbye to mom and dad.
This cheery colorful book illustrates just how fun kindergarten really is and shows your child the multitude of enjoyable experiences that they will be looking forward to as they make their foray into traditional education.
This book also centers around the first day of kindergarten. Miss Bindergarten is working hard to get ready for her upcoming class featuring 26 brand new kindergarteners.
As Miss Bindergarten gets ready for her class, children are shown throughout the story getting ready for their first day with her as their teacher.
Adam Krupp wakes up joyfully excited for his first day, while Brenda Heath brushes her teeth in anticipation. Christopher Beaker searches for his lost sneaker. While Miss Bindergarten finishes decorating her classroom just in the nick of time as students start to file in.
This book is wonderful to showcase the process of getting ready for kindergarten, not only from a child’s perspective but also from the viewpoint of a teacher.
Note: The New York Times Book Review described this book as “Multifaceted and appealing” and can be enjoyed at home and at school.
This adaptation of “The Twelve Days of Christmas” gives parents and children a familiar look at the kindergarten transition. Going through the 2nd of Kindergarten (Christmas) all the way up until the 12th, this familiar wording engages children as they read about the new friends they will make in Kindergarten and the activities they will engage in such as jumping rope, making art, and playing at recess.
The experience of saying goodbye to Mom and Dad is illustrated as kids make their way to their first journeys on the school bus where they are taken to be the school to be met with their awaiting parents again at the end of the day.
This is a fantastic book that delves into the experience of transportation to school and alleviates the fear a child might face at having to say goodbye to their parents for the day by reinforcing the fact that their parents will be there to pick them up at the end of the day.
Authored by Tish Rabe, this vivid children’s book is just one of her many 160 titles for children available today.
Kindergarten Rocks centers on main character Dexter who seemingly already knows all the ins and outs when it comes to kindergarten. Dex proclaims his knowledge is a result of being informed by his big sister Jessie, and he is not scared at all.
However, Dex’s stuffed dog Rufus is scared - only until he finds out that kindergarten actually rocks!
The I Can Read Series featuring Pete the Cat is authored by New York Times bestselling author James Dean. This series helps kids learn reading through phonics and brightly illustrated images that are engaging and fun to look at.
Assessed and approved by many phonics experts, the I Can Read, Pete the Cat series showcases repetitive examples of common words and differing vowels sounds.
Phonics is of particular importance in how they teach children the phonemic relationship between letters and their correlating sounds. A child who has mastered phonics and phonemes will find reading, spelling, and writing easier to master at grade-level and future grade levels.
This series is an excellent way to teach kids to master reading while rocking out to the lovable and enthusiastic Pete the Cat.
As mentioned early on, kindergarten is a distinctive place where children will make discoveries about the world around them, develop their fine motor skills, and spend time interfacing with peers and learning valuable social skills. Within the basic framework of integral kindergarten elements are the incorporation of cognitive building tools in the form of books and reading that serve to teach children myriad concepts.
Books and interactive reading experiences provide children with a wealth of opportunities to develop broader, richer vocabularies, to reinforce the relationship between reading and pleasure early on in life, and to strengthen the foundation for a child’s assured future academic success.
Many parents make the mistake of not completely understanding the fast pace at which their toddler’s brain is making connections every day. The rapid connections formed in a toddler’s brain are occurring constantly for up to the first five years of their lives, with up to 90% of connective brain tissue having been formed by that time.
It is imperative that parents do not underestimate the rapid growth of their child’s brain and take advantage of this singularly unique time in their child’s life to put into practice and reinforce basic reading skills and fine motor skills. The development of these two skills will not only assist children in succeeding at kindergarten but also help them ensure academic success in future grades.
Books also serve to widen a child’s horizons and to broaden their perspectives. Books take children to places they have never before envisioned or imagined, to discovering people, places, and things they never knew existed, and to teaching lessons about life and morality that were previously unfamiliar. Books encompass a wide variety of subject material like the ones listed above and many more that can be used to enrich a child’s viewpoint and expressive qualities.
It should also be noted that children who are exposed to reading and books at a young age develop into people who enjoy books and reading and see it as a pleasurable activity and not one that is cumbersome and boring. Starting reading early on and practicing interactive reading between parent and child is among the best things a parent can do for their child to ensure a lifelong love of reading, academic success, and the growth of strong fine motor skills.

Matt Hilton Thrills: What a Blast!
I've had a few adrenalin-charged escapades of late - some good, some bad - but all have helped me as a writer. They say that you should write what you know. Well, I can now speak with experience when it comes to firing live rounds and what it feels to be seconds from death, both of which often feature heavily in my writing.
First thing first. Recently I took a trip to Jamaica to celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary (I know I look way too young, but I did marry at the tender age of three years old) and everything was great. Hurricane Irene swept by the island during our stay but left its calling card by way of high winds, pelting rain and a lightning storm to end all storms...just as we were taking off in our airplane. Anyway, we were tearing down the runway when a lightning bolt struck the plane and blew up the left engine. Flames, sparks and smoke gouted across the runway. Doing around eighty miles an hour and losing one engine meant only one thing: the plane swung crazily to the left and was heading off the runway. Then it swung to the right and it felt like we were going to roll over, before the quick thinking pilot hit the brakes to abort take off. We were of course then thrown forward in our seats. Was there a lot of screaming and praying? No. It all happened so quickly that all that went through my mind was "Oh. This is it then?" It was only afterwards when the plane rocked to a standstill and the truth set in that a chorus of surprise set in, followed by shock and the wailing began. The firetrucks turned out to douse the engine and then we were towed back to the gate and all the passengers spilled into the disembarkation lounge. It was only then that I began thinking about how much it would be to charter a boat home. I was determined that I was never going to get back on an airplane in my life, but at the back of my head knew that I just had to. I had to get home, and then had to take another four flights to reach St Louis for Bouchercon World Mystery Convention in a little over a week's time. So, I thought WWJHD? I girded my loins and got back on the replacement plane brought in a day later.
By the time I flew to St Louis I'd put the incident down to experience and told myself that things could have been much worse. Apparently another five seconds later and we'd have been at optimum speed for take off (170 mph) and things would have ended up very differently indeed. The new engine that was required for the plane had a price tag of £15 million pounds, plus the bill for putting up more than 300 passengers in a 5* hotel all inclusive amounted to £158,000 - so maybe I had nothing to complain about.
I got my second major adrenalin buzz while in St Louis. I had the pleasure of accompanying fellow Brit thriller author Zoe Sharp and her husband Andy, and a couple other readers, to the Top Gun shooting range where I had a literal blast shooting some of the guns I feature in the Joe Hunter series. My favourite remains the SIG Sauer P226 but have to admit that shooting a MP5 submachine gun does leave you with a sense of awe. Earlier during the convention I'd had great fun at a shooting range simulator at the hotel where real guns had been attached to gas bottles to simulate 'real fire' sensation, and I really enjoyed that, however when compared to the genuine thing there was something missing. When handling a real gun, with live rounds, there's always that sense of cold fear and absolute respect lurking in your mind. This was brought home to me while shooting the MP5. I was goggled and earphoned-up, and merrily gave rip with burst after burst of ammo at the targets. Then one of the scalding hot spent brass shells dropped inside my right goggle and burned my eyelids, followed seconds later by another that dropped neatly in my left goggle and burned my eyelids on that side too. It served to remind me that BULLETS ARE DANGEROUS. But my little burns also gave me a little ego trip, thinking "Well, that's my warrior stripes earned." It was a superb experience, and one that left me adrenalized but also with a sense of great responsibility. What a blast. A hearty thank you goes to Zoe and Andy for allowing me the opportunity to satisfy my shooting jones.
Plus a second hearty thanks go out to all the Bouchercon gang, and in particular Jon Jordan and Ruth Jordan of Crimespree Magazine, Judy Bobalik and Beth and Jeff Tindall.
N.B Apparently flying is still the safest form of travel and it was a million to one chance that a similar incident should happen to me, and about ten million to one that it should ever happen again. For one hot shell to go inside my goggles was about a million to one. For a second hot shell to go in the opposite side about two million to one. Then again it's about a million to one that I will win decent money on the National Lottery so I've just gone out and bought a ticket.
Glad you ended up safe, and for the most part unscathed. A buddy of mine just joined a gun club and was telling me what an adrenaline rush it is.
Glad to hear you have survived both experiences intact! Just be careful of falling space debris.
People often look at me funny when i tell them i love shooting. Massive rush though, even taking out targets.
I heard/read about both these 'episodes', but reading about the plane lark directly from you, really made me think of you 'n' Den on there. Thank the Lord you survived, and what an experience! (At least I've still got someone to moan to...!).
Don't wanna be a party-pooper, but I don't like guns - seen the damage they do. However, I can see how shooting them in a controlled environment will help authenticate your fiction. I just wish fiction is where guns would stay.
Good to have you back in one piece.
You'll get no argument from me, Col. Guns should be in the realm of fiction only. Like I was trying to point out...they're bloody dangerous even in the confined space of a shooting range.
Paul, I'd literally no option but get back on the horse. Won't lie and say I wasn't worried. I was. Still am. Always hated flying and probably always will.
Hi Barb. I've been watching that funny glow in the sky all week, wondering when its going to come crashing down on me. I wonder what the odds are in that happening.

Camping with your truck is a fun activity because you have the flexibility your vehicle provides you with. If you don’t like your camping area, having your truck with you allows you to change it almost instantly. And since you won’t be sleeping on the hard ground, your body won’t hurt in its entirety when you wake up.
Although, the latter is somewhat part of the whole experience because it makes you feel like you’re truly living a lifestyle that is connected to nature. However, if you want to have a fuss-free trip and to avoid any accidents, there are some things that you need to buy before you start this journey.
The first thing you need is a high-quality truck bed tent. Don’t overlook this, as it will be the item you’re going to use the most when traveling. You want it to be waterproof, windproof and to be comfortable at the same time. Truck tents have a different design compared to traditional models.
They are adapted to fit the bed of your pickup truck, and to be safe and effortless to install. You could use a traditional tent, but it will be tough to fit it into your car. Moreover, I don’t recommend sleeping on the bare soil, as nature is filled with animals that could be a threat to your health.
If you like to eat healthy while traveling, then a camping stove is a must. There’s nothing more rewarding than preparing a delicious meal while the only thing that guides you is the blue light of the burner and the moon. Go for a compact model that has plenty of power and that can be quickly refilled.
I would suggest going for a dual burner cooker, especially if you like to prepare your breakfast and your coffee at the same time. Refilling the product is simple, and make sure you buy a can of gas from your local gas store before going to a remote location, so you won’t have to make a trip back when you run out of it.
Speaking of coffee, maybe it’s a good idea to invest in a premium camping espresso maker. It is essential that you make the arrangements for a good start to your day, and a fresh cup of coffee will ensure you have the energy for an entire day. These machines are designed to work without electricity, without making any compromise when it comes to taste.
There are other small things that could make your life easier. Invest in a portable light, in a camping radio to stay in touch with the outside world and also in a good cooler for your beer and a mosquito repellant if you plan to travel in a swampy area.
The preciousness of family moments is immeasurable. And in today’s busy world, we hardly come across such free time to spend with our loved ones. Therefore we tend to capture these moments as pictures and videos, to recall them later. That’s what we do with camcorders. But why should we spend on a camcorder at all, when we already have so many alternatives to it? I mean Smartphones and tablets, can record and capture (along with their fundamental functions), then where is the need to buy a CAMCORDER?
Well, this is something that even I kept contemplating about before my friend gifted me one camcorder. Since it was gifted, I had to use it AND when I used it, I actually realized how useful a camcorder could be even in this age of multiple recording alternatives. Here are a few of the reasons why a camcorder still stands to be the best device out of all the others for capturing those special family moments.
It is obvious that a dedicated recording device like camcorder will produce better quality videos than a Smartphone( which do recording as an additional function). But this is not it. Most camcorders are found to be more precise in capturing videos than a video capable DSLR. DSLR definitely capture best quality pictures and record high-quality videos but when compared to camcorders, they do perform a little wishy-washy.
Since camcorders are entirely dedicated to video recording, they tend to have all the mechanisms required for a good visual delight as well as superior audio with the built-in mikes. Most camcorders come with built-in standard quality stereo recorders to produce quality audio with videos unlike digital camera and Smartphone (that record videos as a secondary function).
Yes they aren’t as handy as a Smartphone or a tablet but when it comes to selecting a good quality recorder which is also very handy, camcorders will always be placed first (and not DSLRs). They are easy to shoot anywhere by anyone (including young movie makers of your home) and also allow easy, fast and smooth sharing.
And the last reason but I don’t call it least that family moments are very valuable and therefore you surely need a dedicated moment capturing gadget for them. You need a camcorder. Get one today and relish togetherness forever!
Okay so after all the hard work that you do all day long, you finally get to rest at night and having a ‘not-so-comfortable’ resting place can ruin your sleep which will directly affect your mood and another day.
We spend around one third of a complete day on the bed. This fact itself signifies the need and importance of having a comfortable mattress. Hence if you are about to buy a new mattress then do read these tips, in order to be able to make a sensible choice.
Know what you need. Do not simply spend on an excessively firm sheet or on a too fluffy one. First determine which mattress is needed and then select the type. Different people have different sleeping behaviors and therefore there is no ‘one mattress for all’. If you suffer from lower back pain or joint pains, then you should not think of a firm mattress. Choose the one you find most comfortable.
When selecting the mattress, do consider your sleeping partner’s taste (if you have one). If you both have the same taste, well and good, else discuss and then choose something that goes in between.
Check everywhere, on different online stores as well as several local stores, and compare well before you invest. Ask questions about differences between the different types they offer. Query the manufacturers if required. When you are finally satisfied with the decision, ONLY THEN purchase it.
As you go on to check mattresses, take at least 10-15 minutes to check each and every mattress. Do not hesitate to lie down and test it. Lie down on your sides for some minutes and then on your back and stomach. Check every possibility.
Ask for test periods if they offer. It will be smart to buy a mattress that offers test periods. This will help you make an even better decision.
Ask about warranty details. Buy mattresses that come with a warranty. Due to a warranty you’ll not only have a secure investment but it will also indicate a sense of reliability on your selection. This implies that the manufacturer is himself confident of his product and hence you can also rely on the quality.
You don’t buy a mattress every month. It is a ‘once in a decade’ kind of shopping. Therefore it is very important that you make a smart choice and the above tips will help you achieve it.
They are way too expensive.
They are difficult to carry.
They are good for professional photography, but for a casual use they seem to sound too much.
These takes us to another option for photography, i.e. point and shoot cameras. Digital point and shoot cameras are perfect for casual photography and can definitely produce precise quality images if shot carefully. Wanna know how? Read the following tips for taking DSLR-quality pictures without a DSLR (i.e. with your point and shoot cameras).
Before you start shooting, determine the scene and set up the white balance which best suits. Choose the setting that gives accurate colors. If you have time, design your custom white balance.
When shooting out in sun, shoot with the sun behind you. This will make sunlight fall on the object/person increasing the lighting and also prevent formation of rainbow in the image. In order to get the best results you still need to get a decent point and shoot camera with a good zoom.
Use the flash wisely. See what amount of it is required and then set the suitable amount. Most people often use either full flash or no flash at all. This usually goes with most of the scenarios, but spoils photos that require moderate amount flash. Flash influences the picture a lot. Hence always determine the proper amount needed.
When taking a portrait, avoid taking wide angles. They make the face and features look wider than they actually are. Stand to the position from where you need to zoom.
This will influence the picture a lot. Trust me; most of the pictures get spoiled due to the improper position of the photographer. Suppose you want to capture something below your height (like a pet’s portrait) then don’t simply stand and try to shoot. Bend down to their level and shoot from a proper distance.
If your camera offers, use this to improve the quality of the photo. Also try to avoid background distractions by zooming in when required.
These are very basic tips and keeping them in mind one can easily picture moments perfectly because you don’t need an expensive DSLR always. For smart people, point and shoot cameras can do enough work.
Baby cribs are necessary furniture for newborns and infants. They keep them safe and avoid falling while they are asleep. But buying a baby crib is an expensive affair. You will hardly find any low-end cribs. And it is fair enough as well because nobody would like to compromise on quality of the furniture and their kid’s safety and comfort.
However before investing in an expensive crib, it is prudent to determine whether it is worth your hard-earned money or not. Here are a few questions to ask and essential factors to determine before spending on cribs.
Is the quality worth the price? Don’t be hesitant to pose this question to the shopkeeper or the manufacturer. And don’t believe them blindly. Nobody will call their product an average. Therefore do your part of research properly. Go online to check the details of the product as online descriptions are very up to the point. Read customer reviews and ask your acquaintances who have bought that specific baby crib.
Don’t hesitate to choose a cheaper one if you find it better in quality and features. Cribs are priced based on not only the quality but depending on the brand, features and several other miscellaneous factors. A costlier crib doesn’t automatically become better than the one with lesser price. However, in most of the cases this happens but it may not be necessary for every case. Hence check and compare all and choose the one that best fits your choice, be it costlier or cheaper than others.
Plan for a long term use. A fancy crib may appear awesome, but then you may use it only for a year or two. But if you buy a multipurpose crib or convertible crib, it will extend the age of usage of the furniture. There are certain convertible cribs that can be turned into baby beds for the time when your kid grows up a little.
Don’t go for an ultra designer one. The basic design is the best investment. Your kid may not like her clothes getting caught in the design or getting scratched if the design is edgy.
Crib is a one-time purchase so be wise and buy the one that you can utilize effectively for as long as possible. It’s nothing to show-off, it must be comfortable and easy to maintain.
Flat irons have become a must have styling accessory in every girl’s styling kit. The elegance of straight hairs is unmatchable and so obvious. But a slight experiment with looks every now and then, indeed adds glamour to the appearance and confidence in you personality.
Did you know that there are more than one innovative ways to use your hair straightener? Yes, a flat iron or straightener not only straightens the hairs, but also allows you to style your hair in a number of creative ways. Check out the list of experiments you can do with your flat iron below.
Bend ends: Straight hair look sleek and elegant. You can add a little more to it by bending the ends of your hair. This looks chic and goes really great with formal looks. This is a great office or presentation hairstyle and adds a professional touch to your personality.
Crispy crimps: Yes, these are back in fashion. The best thing about crimps is that they go with every outfit. Whether you use them with a chic evening gown or a sassy disco mini. They go with them all. To get those perfectly crisp crimps with your straightener, simply motion your hands in zigzag fashion, from side to side, as you slide the iron to the end. Take a thin bunch at a time for crispier look.
Beach babe waves: Another in-style hairstyle, beach-waves, can also be attained using a flat iron. All you do is pull outside your locks with the iron and it will create a wavy appearance. This hairstyle adds volume to your hair, a good way to tackle limp hair.
Pumming : This is an evening gown hairstyle and is quite popular among the divas of these days. This is the hairstyle where your upper hairs remain straight and the bottom end of them is curled to bounce. To achieve this hairstyle, first straighten your hair. Don’t straighten them at the ends, just focus on straightening the upper part properly. After you have completely straightened them, take a thin bunch and roll it around one hand of the iron and slide the device down to the end. The result will be curled ends. Do this on different section of hair and you are set for a perfect dinner evening.
These are basic ones, you can mix and match and use these techniques to convey you remarkable sense of style to the world. It is fun to experiment with looks and a flat iron is a perfect partner for it.
This feature replaces the vacuum bag by directly depositing the dirt in a holding tray via a whirlwind cleansing. Many vacuum cleaners today offer this feature and it’s very a useful addition to look for.
With this feature you’ll be able to adjust the height of the cleaner for handling different kind of messy surfaces. Further advancement in this will let you choose between automatic adjustment and manual adjustments. The automatic one will adjust itself automatically (of course) and the manual one will come with knob and lever. You can choose the one most comfortable to you.
The brush, on one hand is very handy for cleaning up carpets because it brushes off the dirt nicely from the fine fibers, on the other hand it can be harmful and uncomfortable for rough floors and hard rugs. This is where the brush-roll switch helps you. With this you can turn the brush roll on or off as per your cleaning needs.
Another good feature for all those who hate rolling it up after cleaning. An auto-retractable vacuum cleaner rolls up the cord automatically after they are switched off. Though, generally the vacuum cleaners offering this feature do not offer long cords. So be careful if you have big rooms. However for people with big rooms, a cordless vacuum cleaner becomes a better option.
This feature allows you to give an additional length to your cleaner’s handle which can extend it to reach and clean far, unreachable surfaces such as ceilings.
This is an additional tool for those who love their pets but hate their hairs all around. This will help you remove the loose hair on your pet before they fall off here and there.
Radar detectors have become a must have accessory for all the fast and furious drivers, around the world. Since their introduction in 1960, they have come a long way from being a radar signal detector to GPS radar detectors and Lidar detectors at present.
The pain that a speeding ticket causes to the pocket can only be understood by those who have experienced it. It is no less than a tiny heart stroke. For these weak hearted fast motorists, a radar detector indeed becomes a savior.
To understand how a radar detector helps you avoid speeding tickets, you must first know how those tickets are imposed on innocent speed-lovers. Traffic police use a radar gun to detect the speed of vehicles. This gun is simply a radio transmitter and a radio receiver in one unit. The radio transmitter transmits a radio signal (an electromagnetic wave) of a specific frequency. This wave travels through air and bounces back (to the receiver). The receiver then detects this echoed signal and calculates the distance of the object with the receiver. If the object is moving then the pattern of the signal changes which is detected by the receiver. The receiver then is able to calculate how fast the object is moving towards or away from the radar gun. The cops with this information charge a speeding vehicle violating the speed limit.
A radar detector is a radio receiver that is designed to detect the waves transmitted by radar guns. The detector detects the waves and alerts you before the cops could catch you. A driver can easily slow down the vehicle whenever the detector announces a radio wave coming from the radar gun. There are several kinds of electromagnetic waves propagating in the space. A radar detector is, however, an upgraded receiver designed to receive only a certain frequency waves (similar to the frequency of the police radar guns).
The major difference between a low-quality radar detector and a high-quality detector is their speed and accuracy of catching radar gun’s signals. A high-end, reliable detector will detect only the radar gun’s signal and alert you immediately. On the other hand, a detector of low quality may be, way too sensitive or way too less sensitive to alert you before the cops catch you. A low-quality radar detector may also confuse you by announcing the signals from other appliances like garage closers. If you are looking to purchase a good radar detector for highways because of the speed you will have, I really recommend spending some money on a high-end product.
Insist on getting a good quality radar detector. It is indeed the best way to avoid speeding tickets.
Hair says so much about your looks. Hair is an important aspect of grooming. You can style them in so many ways. A little variation to your hairstyle will make you look dramatically different and appealing. In fact, most of the makeovers start with a new hairdo and are usually only about hair. Hence it is important that you choose the right gadgets to groom your crowning glory. I wanted to buy a hair dryer a few days back but was stuck when choosing the right one. Finally, I got this Conair Ionic Turbo Styler and I am so happy with my decision and the smooth and healthy look of my hair.
While you buy from Conair, it offers a vast variety of blow dryers from those with high power to the ones with a medium wattage.

Katō Shrine is located in Kumamoto Castle which is where the local daimyō (territorial ruler) Lord Katō Kiyomasa is enshrined. Formerly named the Nishikiyama Shrine and built in 1871, the shrine was reconstructed in 1877 after it was burned during the Satsuma Rebellion, the shrine was moved around a few times before finding it's permanent spot in Kumamoto Castle in 1962. Along with Katō Kiyomasa, Ōki Kaneyoshi and Kin Kan (retainers of Katō) are also enshrined.
The Shrine hosts many festivals, including a Spring Festival in April, a Summer Festival and a festival for Katō Kiyomasa in July, and monthly ceremonies. There are a few memorials, including the Taiko Bridge (gifted from Korea), a washbasin that belonged to Ōki Kaneyoshi, a flag holding stone from Nagoya (connected to the invasion of Korea), small shrines for Sarutahiko-kami, Sugawara Michizane, Ookuninushi-kami and Ebisu-kami. It is often said the best place to enjoy the shrine is from one of the higher buildings of Kumamoto Castle. As a staple on our Southern Japan tours and grand tours, Kato Shrine is an excellent spot for families and samurai aficionado's alike to enjoy!

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP)  The state attorney general”s office is investigating whether Mylan Pharmaceuticals unfairly limited competition for its emergency allergy treatment EpiPen, which has been criticized for steep price increases.
A preliminary review showed the company “may have inserted potentially anticompetitive terms” into sales contracts with many school systems, Democratic Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said Tuesday.
Subpoenas for company information were issued last week.
EpiPens are used in emergencies to treat severe allergic reactions to insect bites and foods including nuts that can lead to anaphylactic shock. They are auto-injectors, or spring-loaded syringes that provide single doses of the drug epinephrine, and can be administered by patients themselves or by untrained people.
The price has grown to $608 for a two-pack, up more than 500 percent since 2007. The drugmaker has announced it will launch a generic version that will cost $300 in the next several weeks.
Canonsburg, Pennsylvania-based Mylan N.V. said Tuesday that more than 700,000 free EpiPens have been distributed to 65,000 schools and it has dropped a previous purchase restriction for schools that wanted more at discounts.
Meanwhile, a New York legislator introduced a bill to authorize pharmacists to dispense little-known and cheaper generic epinephrine auto-injectors under a brand-specific prescription without having to get a new prescription from the doctor.
“Mylan has spent billions of dollars making EpiPen a household name synonymous with epinephrine, but there are lesser-known products such as generic Adrenaclick, which can be purchased for approximately $140 for a two-pack,” said Senate Health Committee Chairman Kemp Hannon, a Long Island Republican.
He noted that the essential difference is that the Adrenaclicks injector, by Horsham, Pennsylvania-based Amedra Pharmaceuticals, has two caps instead of one.
McCaskill is the top Democrat on the Senate Special Committee on Aging. She and the committee”s Republican chairwoman, Maine U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, have written Mylan asking for a briefing on the price increases.

Steve has one word to describe the impact bipolar has had on his family: “disruptive”.
Two of his sisters have been diagnosed as having bipolar. His younger brother had it. And his paternal grandfather, ‘cashiered and dismissed from the Indian Army in the 1900s’, almost certainly had it too.
We know that bipolar is hereditary – that it has a genetic base. If one of your parents has bipolar disorder, then you have a 15-25% chance of having bipolar disorder yourself too. But Steve has a better understanding than most of what that means in reality.
Bipolar is a serious illness that is notoriously difficult to diagnose. In fact, it takes almost 11 years on average to receive a correct diagnosis. During this time those affected will receive an incorrect diagnosis on average four times. That means years of confusion, frustration and uncertainty. And whilst progress has been made, the main treatment for bipolar – Lithium – has not really been improved in decades. We still are not much further along in our ability to manage the effects bipolar has on an individual.
Of course, for those unable to manage their condition, the impact can be extremely dangerous. Family relationships and friendships can be damaged. Problems between partners are common.
“My mother was an enormous source of strength to all her children. She spent a huge amount of time and energy helping Rosie in particular. When Mike became ill, she was already over 80. She was clearly very distressed by the changes she saw in him (she lived in Mike’s town by then) but when he was most ill he often slept at her house.
But most alarmingly, the condition can be deadly too. 1 in 4 of those with bipolar disorder type 1 have a reported history of attempting suicide.
All of Steve’s family history highlights the dire need for change. It screams of a condition in desperate need of greater research. To improve diagnosis. To transform treatments. But also to enhance and challenge our understanding of the condition and how it develops.
Given his family’s history, Steve’s one wish for research is that it be able to help “find appropriate treatment sooner.” It should be a simple request, but one that seems sadly so far off when it comes to bipolar disorder.
More funding in mental health research will help. As will a more interdisciplinary approach – matching biological research with the societal and psychological – to really view the condition from a 360-degree perspective. As Steve’s family shows, the condition cannot be studied from one viewpoint. The life course you take can be as impactful on your condition as the genes you inherited. The two exist side by side.
When it comes to bipolar disorder there are so many unanswered questions. So we took the most popular ones – as decided by google – and answered them one by one.

Interview with Art Fawcett | Keikari.com Interview with Art Fawcett | On classic men's style, elegance and the beautiful life.
‘I’m 63 and a hat maker. High school, 2 yr. college, 4 yr apprenticeship in Masonry. I have one son who is interested only in as much as I am so involved. My parents have passed but my siblings are very proud of my work and reputation. In the late 1980s I bought my first “old car,” a 1932 Buick and joined a touring auto club. As part of this experience, my then wife and I started researching the clothing of the era so that we could dress the part while driving ala, 1932 clothing in a 1932 auto. Things progressed quickly and in very short amount of time she had opened a vintage clothing shop in our home, then a store, then a bigger store, then our own building, it goes on and on. By the time we retired in 2005 we had built one of the largest and most respected clothing stores in California.
When in the vintage business, one is confronted with a decision fairly quickly as to the direction. There is always today’s “fad” or there classic lines and fabrics that are timeless. In the 1990s the Japanese buyers were paying up to $1K for a Hawaiian shirt so dealers scoured the earth to find them, only to discover the fad was over and they had inventory that was worth 1/3 of what they invested (at best). We decided early on that we must not chase the fad, but rather set the tone through classic lines and fabrics. Some things are timeless.
As part of that business, even though I was a full time Masonry Contractor in the San Francisco area, I started learning how to clean, reblock and enlarge old hats, making them either saleable for the store or rentable for the films (we were involved with over 150 films) by taking the old ones apart and trying to reverse engineer them. Learning materials are basically non-existent, so trial and error is the only way in most cases. Although there was a hat maker in San Francisco, he was extremely protective of knowledge and downright unfriendly to anyone he saw as a potential threat. In that process, I started collecting the equipment to make the job work, I still collect equipment, along with buying up all of the vintage ribbon I could find so that after years of collecting I had the appropriate ribbon (era) for the approx. year of the hat I was renovating. Trying to use a modern ribbon on a 60 yr old hat just didn’t look right to me and I assume it wouldn’t look right to everyone else.
My style is mostly vintage/classic. My favorite era for men’s clothing is the 1930’s with the hourglass tailoring, so I favor that look. Being thin, I’m able to find much of what I like. After retiring from the Construction and vintage world in 2005, I sold most of my clothing and moved to the mountains of Southern Oregon so my wardrobe is beginning to take shape again now that I have moved back into town. I have no favorite RTW designers but often like Lauren classics and Zegna designs. I am a builder, so I help with charities that build homes for the underprivileged in my area. I am learning to cook and really enjoy that also.
After retiring in 2005 we bought land and moved north. Once the initial building phase was done (we bought raw land, no roads, power, conveniences) I realized I still needed to earn the some monthly income because I was too young for Govt. pensions so we added a hat workshop to the buildings. I had been a member of The Fedora Lounge almost since its inception so I came to look at its members as “extended family”. When trying to decide how to make my hobby, hatting, a business, I decided to make only ten of any one design so that I never got bored, made up one design to show out of scraps I had in boxes in the shop, and posted it online in the Fedora Lounge. I honestly had no idea if there was a market for what I did and for my style of hat making, so when the first design sold out (all 10) in 36 hours I was stunned to say the least. I had my answer, I needed to get busy developing it from hobby to business in a hurry. After 7 yrs now, I finally feel that I have a handle on the industry and am about as prepared for the future as anyone can be. In the process, I believe I have become the most copied hatter in the industry via the color stripes my works are known for.
I make classic lines and styles, but with a twist. I always want people to notice the materials used in the hats I make (beaver, beaver blends) but what I hope for is what I call the “double take”. Have you ever noticed something or someone as you walked by them and realized something was different, but not flashy, so you had to look again? That is the “double take”. I try to make my work stand out but in a subtle way most of the time. I’m known for my “color stripe” in the knot of the ribbon, very thin, quite contrasting yet quite subtle. The angles of the bow tips, the shades of ribbon, the texture of the felt, the innovation of the ribbon design, all are trademarks of my work. I have been blessed with a client base that realizes I am an artist at heart and allow me the freedom to quite often design and innovate on hats commissioned by them. I have a client in Paris who loves to be the first in the world to own new designs, so often when I have an idea that I don’t know whether will work or not, it will be worked out and sent to this client to be introduced to the world. That gives me the freedom I need to explore and at the same time offers a certain pride of ownership for my clients. How could life be better? If I had to describe my work in one sentence I can do it in two words: Quiet elegance.
As a Bespoke hatter, it can only work one way. Once a decision is made to commission a hat, I send a package with a conformer and felt samples to my client. The client uses the conformer, tightens everything up, and sends it back to me. That way I have not only the client’s size, but head shape as well. Once the material colors and dimensions are discussed and agreed upon, often using pictures of the client to determine the best proportions for them, the hat is built to their head shape. I often also make what is called a “band block” of my client’s head shape and keep it in storage, so the second time the client orders from me, all that is needed is consent and details.
If you count western hatters, there are many more than a dozen true hatmakers in America. Why should one choose VS? Quality, pure and simple, and attention to details that make a difference. My grandmother always used to say “God is in the details,” but it took me until adulthood to understand that it’s the little things, like spending the extra time and money to get it right on the fit, to the extra expense to get the finest leather for sweatbands even though most wouldn’t know. Getting it right means taking the extra steps even and especially when nobody is looking.
Inspiration comes from everywhere. A few years ago I was asked to build a hat that would honor my client’s “Native American” heritage and it had me stumped for quite some time, until I realized the term didn’t only apply to the US and looked south. What I came up with was a ribbon design that assimilated the Mayan and Incan culture of pyramids and made the hat with tails at a 45 degree angle, resembling the step pyramids of Mexico and south. My client was so excited he named the hat “Pyramid of the Moon” and that began what I call my “Native“ phase in which I fold ribbons of different colors to form designs.
Last year I was in Los Angeles and was invited to a play in downtown LA. It was at a theatre that was part of a complex, and after the play my friend and I sat for a glass of wine and to talk when suddenly water sprang from seemingly everywhere, coming from a water feature built into the concrete and shooting it in the air at different pressures creating not only city light reflections through the walls of water, but doing it at different heights. It was marvelous and I immediately started seeing a hat in my mind’s eye that would later become a one of a kind hat, owned by my friend, we named the “Chandler” after the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in LA.
My favorite designer of all time is actually an automobile designer named Alexis De Sahknoffsky. He designed the Auburn, Cord (I think), countless designs using the streamline as a basis. He designed streamlined trains, boat tail cars, simply ahead of his time. If you study my hats you will see a lower, sleeker, longer feel to them than others. Style is the creation of a positive image rooted in the idea that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
There are basic rules for fitting hats to face shapes that are covered in many places on the internet, so please start there. Once a basic specification (brim width, etc.) is determined from what you read, then start building hats a little taller or the brim wider than recommended to get a feel for it. You can always crease (bash) the hat lower or cut the brim shorter, but you will at least start with many options. The right specs will come about much like picking a tie for your suit. Once you put the suit on the bed and start putting neckties on it to see the effect, the right one always appears.
Please understand that I grew up wearing hats, so it seems and feels natural to me under all conditions. The expression goes, “wear the hat, don’t let it wear you”, but what that means is “be brave and confident“ and that is what people will see, the confidence, not the hat. As a small man in stature, I grew up always being the smallest in the crowd and developed a sense of dread when in crowds or especially walking into restaurants. I felt that everyone was looking at me and it was very intimidating. In my early 20s I experienced some success in my career and was respected as such but couldn’t get past that fear walking into the diner, so I made up my mind to first hold my head up, throw my shoulders back and straight, and tell myself just before going in that “I OWN this place”. The first few times I did so, it felt very awkward but funny enough, after only a few times I was receiving more respectful greetings from those employed to do so, getting better table placements and friendlier-than-expected service. Why? I think because my attitude told them that I expected that kind of treatment and respect, so that’s what I received. Please bear in mind, though, I did not make demands, was not loud in any way, I simply assumed and expected good service and almost every time received just that.
That’s certainly one of the goals Keikari’s interview series has, to dig deeper and get a grasp of the thoughts and philosophy behind those featured. Art OWNS his hats.
I’m a proud owner of two of Art’s hats and they are quality works of, well, art. He has been very patient with my requests and the end results come out looking amazing! After reading this interview, I have a greater appreciation of his philosophy of style which I try to follow myself: simple, sleek lines with an extra little touch that catches people’s attention. I just wish I was aware when he was around in the Bay Area so that I could’ve enjoyed the shop he used to have.

Everything comes in its own time: a wordly wisdom that Marcus Henriksson and Sebastian Mullaert aka Minilogue take for granted. Since their foundation in the year 1997 they emerged to one of the most respected and hard to pigeonhole electronic music acts world-wide. And that not only because in each of their artistic expressions you can feel their effortless passion for what they do - whether live or magnetized on a medium. Also because they do not stick to any stylistic niche to mark their territory. House, techno, ambient, trance, and lately jazz are equal parts in their creations. The most effective bunched proof for their musical universalism was marked in 2008 with the release of their debut album „Animals““ on Cocoon. Since then a string of Ep’s on labels like Mule, Wagon Repair, Traum Schallplatten, and their own imprint Minilogue continued their story in sound in which everything is made out of the present moment. Also the jazz infused album „Bring Out The Imps“ that they recorded under the alias IMPS with two jazz musicians and a heartfelt collaboration album with the Japanese producer Kuniyuki entered their discography. And between all their work they constantly performed their intense improvised live shows all around the globe. Privatly they formed themself a life far beyond the big city lights, out in the Swedish woods in the north of Malmö. Here they live a life where the inner gets the outer and where their way of creating is far away from Zeitgeist zones in which musical trends pass by like seasons. In the past five years they met every now and then when it felt like hooking up in the studio, jammed on their equipment without a clear goal in mind and recorded each unique moment that was guided by the experience of the single day of life that marked their souls when they came together. In past months they went through the archives of their creative comments on our time, that been born in moments where time was not on the agenda. In that time just music called the tune and as a result of this pure form of conversation between two souls their second album „Blomma“ emerged. The title of the album isn’t just a name. The Swedish word „blomma“ represents two meanings in one: to bloom and the flower. The flower and the blooming are deeply tied to each other - as for Minilogue the process of making music and the temporary result of the process is one too, the album title matches perfectly with their aim of beeing aimless. Out of this attitude towards making music again a heterogeneous longplayer arose that does not work like a regulary formatted club music album. It comes in two parts that both have two faces within themself which are constantly shifting: dance oriented rhythm parts and airy layered ambient atmospheres – always intensely tuneful, musical, and shapely. All eight tracks underpin the wisdom that says that in the moment of deep creativity you disappear. Because no ego can be heard and all grooves, melodies, field-recordings, samples, and chords work like a single colour of a musical painting that is full of versatile electric elements und unnatural sounds. Sounds that only evolve if those who create them are far away from knowing that they create. A state of mind that Minilogue bound on a double album that is just there to let the music speak. That is why again you can’t see their faces on the cover. Instead pictures of the nature that surrounds them in their everyday life stimulate the fancy of the listener while his ears get lost in a gentle amalgamation of rhythm and sound that conveys the impression that it just flew through the bodies of both while their extremities instantly used each instrument around – from the computer to the synth, from percussions to piano. Nothing you can hear on the album is edited or post produced – it all sounds exactly like it was when the atoms of these two individuals danced together. The result is a record with no real beginning or end. An album that tells unconscious an epic story about the path it took to make it. With each atmospheric turn it blooms like an unreal sound fairytale which leaves much space for the listeners individual imagination. You can dance to it, you can ease, you can loose your feeling towards time and space. Whatever happens – in one moment suddenly Minilogue are very close, even if they are not present.

By my count - and it’s a moving target so by the time I hit ‘publish’ on this post the number will probably already be off again - there are at least 44 folks who are apparently or overtly considering a presidential run on the Democratic ticket in 2020. There may be more lanes than there were in 2016, but there are a lot of folks trying occupy each of them, and the lanes this time don’t break nearly as sharply and cleanly as they did, with Bernie owning the progressive lane (which Martin O’Malley tried and failed to compete for) and Hillary owning the Democratic establishment lane.
And Michael Avenatti (the bombastic attorney who represented Stormy Daniels in her lawsuits against President Trump) and Deval Patrick (the former Massachusetts governor), both of whom floated the idea, have both announced their decisions not to run.
This is going to be a chaotic 23 months.

From the Valdai Hills to the Caspian Sea, the great Volga weaves through the heart of central Russia, connecting powerful cities like St Petersburg and Moscow with the vast and remote landscapes of the Russian west. The river has had a profound influence on Russia’s culture, customs, traditions and folklore, and is often referred to as Volga-Matushka or Mother Volga – thanks to its life-giving properties.
While it’s virtually impossible to conceive of the scale of the Volga without experiencing it first-hand, we’re here to help you uncover the highlights of this proud waterway - from Moscow’s inimitable Red Square to the rich history of Yaroslavl. Join us as we hear from William Young, Sales Development Manager at Emerald Waterways, about the extraordinary experiences that await on the Volga – from walking across Moscow’s inimitable Red Square, to uncovering the rich history of Yaroslavl.
Occupying the elegant imperialist buildings of St Petersburg’s Palace Embankment, the Hermitage is a vast art gallery and museum, rivalling the Louvre in its volume of notable works and artefacts. Founded by Empress Catherine the Great in the 18th century, the Hermitage now contains the largest collection of paintings in the world, including a vast array of works gifted by Prussian merchant Johann Ernst Gotzkowsky.
With free time to explore St Petersburg on our Imperial Charms of Russia itinerary, we’d encourage you to experience more of Russia’s second-city, including its fabled ballet heritage. St Petersburg became Russia’s ballet capital in the 18th century, with the formation of the Mariinsky Ballet, one of the world’s leading ballet companies. Peter the Great was the first Tsar to introduce ballet into Russian culture, and his work was continued by Empress Anna, who employed several French dance masters to help popularise ballet. Today, the Mariinsky Theatre remains one of Russia’s foremost ballet centres, regularly staging masterpieces of Russian ballet and opera. Whether you stay for a show or simply enjoy the architecture, the Mariinsky is a must on your visit to St Petersburg.
Innumerable villages, rich in folklore, history and traditions, litter the passage of the Volga as it sweeps southward towards the Caspian. One of the most captivating of these is Mandrogi, a heritage village littered with colourful wooden ‘izba’ houses, where local people continue to follow a simple and traditional way of life.
St Petersburg is a triumph of Russian Imperialism, its wide boulevards, countless bridges and domineering palaces and cathedrals offering a feast of architectural grandeur. On your immersive tour of the city, you’ll bypass such sights as Peterhof Palace, Saint Isaacs’s Cathedral, Peter and Paul Fortress and Catherine Palace. One of the most spectacular sights is the Church of the Savior on Blood, whose romantic-nationalism architecture differs from the neoclassical mainstays of the city. Built during the reign of Alexander III, the church features colourful and ornate onion domes, which represent candles in the Russian Orthodox faith, as well as some 7,500 square metres of mosaics – more than any other church in the world.
During your Volga river journey, you’ll have the opportunity to sample the very best in Russian gastronomy, from a warming bowl of borsch to the seafood delicacy of shuba. Russian food has a distinct culinary identity, with its origins in hearty peasant fare that offers great nourishment in the country’s extreme climate.
Standing on the banks of the Moskva River for nigh on 900 years, Moscow is the financial and political heart of Russia, and a wonderful showcase that introduces the country’s imperial and Soviet heritage. At the heart of this influential metropolis is the inimitable Red Square, a vast plaza bounded by some of Russia’s most iconic structures, from St Basil’s Cathedral, with its colourful onion domes, to the commanding Kremlin, an ancient fortified complex which serves as the official residence of the Russian President.
At the height of the Cold War, Russia and other global powers engaged in the fabled Space Race, with the Soviet Union pioneering a new era of cosmonautics. The regime’s historic space programme is documented in Moscow’s Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics, a vast museum dedicated to space exploration.
Making port in the typical Russian village of Goritsy gives you chance to uncover the fascinating heritage of Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery, a 14th-century Russian Orthodox monastery once revered as one of the strongest fortresses in northern Russia. The site was founded by St Cyril in 1397 on the banks of Lake Siverskoye, and boasts the incredible Assumption Cathedral, which itself houses a fascinating array of ancient artefacts. In the 16th century, the monastery became the principal seat of Ivan the Terrible, who is said to have found spiritual enlightenment within its walls, and who, it’s believed, had planned to take monastic vows in the cathedral.
Some 175 miles from Moscow lies the ancient city of Yaroslavl, founded by Kiev Prince Yaroslavl the Wise on the right bank of the Volga in the 11th century. Much of this historic city is a World Heritage Site, with its storied heritage and imposing architecture making for a truly immersive sightseeing tour. Marvel at the colourful frescoes of Church of Ilya the Prophet, wander the cobblestones of the 12th Saviour-Transfiguration Monastery, and stand beneath the historic domes, towers and spires of St John the Baptist Church, whose architecture is considered among the most impressive of Yaroslavl’s beautiful Tolchkovo Sloboda district.

The second trait of my favorite fandoms is that many of the characters and/or storylines and/or lyrics encourage you to get out of your comfort zone in some form or fashion, grow, and engage more with the world while staying true to the things that make you quirky and awesome. The most obvious depictions of this would be the novel version of The Neverending Story (which influenced my bibliophilic childhood in ways I still struggle to understand and articulate) and Daria’s character arc in the later seasons. The Big Bang Theory appears to be taking this tactic with each of the characters one by one, which many in the fandom seem to detest. I actually think that’s been the key theme of the series from the first scene of the pilot, but that’s another post for another day.
In short, my favorite fandoms (which one could see as an echo of my soul in an odd way) all include the eccentrically talented-yet-underrated trying to stay true to themselves while engaging with the real world and/or helping others broaden their horizons in some way. This issue of balance plagues everyone of intellect/talent who wants to use those skills to better the world and themselves. Most gifted people want to be the change they seek in the world, but are terrified of losing themselves in the process.
There are a lot of ways I could use metaphors to discuss this dichotomy in each of us, but for a lot of personal reasons, Peter and Nez (or more accurately the constructions I’ve built in my head over 25 years and have given those names) encapsulate this struggle for me right now as I seek a new balance point between personal integrity and changing the world.
Of course, I’d probably be using some other contrasting pair of fannish icons if it weren’t for Melissa—sorry, I can only think of her by her fandom name, Anissa. Though if it weren’t for Anissa, you wouldn’t be seeing this post (or this tumblr) at all. Until a month ago, I thought I had outgrown fandom, or at least the interactive bits of it. I was still consuming, but I’d left the conversation. I was too mature and busy for such silly things. I’d probably be off working on my IRB for a planned research project this fall, not reconnecting with old friends and sharing bittersweet giggles once again.
This picture’s from the summer of 2001, the height of my “second wave” of Monkees fandom. These were my three best friends and fanfic collaborators from that era, the Frodis Femmes. Somewhere between 2002 and 2003, life and just plain maturity drifted us away from Monkee Fandom in varying degrees. We stayed connected on the mailing list, livejournal, and later facebook as we got lives, got hitched, and chased our personal, professional, and creative dreams.
And then Anissa, a high school drama teacher, died last month.
For no adequately explained reason.
On the off chance there’s a Deity, the first pointed question I ask will be about a childhood playmate of mine, who died at the age of 7 from a terminal heart defect. (I was 4, the first time I saw a dead body was her viewing).
My second question will be about Anissa.
Up until a month ago, I would have said that my personality most resembles Nez. While there are substantial differences, there are parallels. We’re both Redneck Geeks. I’ve got a quirky sense of humor, am focused (perhaps obsessed) with remolding my corner of my profession in the ways I think will best serve it, am a natural leader, can and do bend most obstacles to my will, and perhaps do not suffer fools as gladly as I might or should.
But there was a time—from about 1996 to about a year after that photo of the 4 of us was taken in 2001, that it was a different story. I was still a spiritual Seeker. I was more open, less walled. I was silly more often than I was snarky. I was certainly a hell of a lot more compassionate.
I think some of y’all can see where I’m going with this metaphor.
I’ve had a lot of losses in my life. But this is only the second time a friend so close to my age died—the first time I was of an age to fully comprehend what happened. Anissa made an incalculable impact in my (and Cin’s and Mich’s) life, and the lives of the students who packed her funeral. For the last 10 years, I had been busy building a career. Anissa had been busy changing lives.
The first thing I felt was shock when I saw Peter’s post on my wall. the second was profound gratitude. And then awe that someone could feel and openly share compassion like that for someone they’d met just a few times, at just a few concert meet-and-greets.
And then I just felt ashamed.
The only way I have ever been able to make sense from the strange juxtaposition of appallingly bad luck and good fortune that has marked my life is by turning bad to good at any possible opportunity. The way I’m doing it now is to continue to go about my goals, but with a bit more wisdom, compassion, and humor. I’m trying to be present more, and when the time is right to open up, to be fearlessly vulnerable in the service of myself and others. I’m taking more time to be contemplative, or to just Be.
And yet, I will always be a natural leader and teacher. My calling is not to help folks heal through my talents (noble calling though that is)—it’s to help them GROW and LEARN. This is why my own relationship with fandom, while necessary to keep me giggling and less serious, can be fraught at times. I see people use fandom to hide from the world and/or change and it Drives. Me. Mad. Yes children, at times fist-through-wall mad.
I think a lot of this irritation is really fear talking. I’ve felt the siren song of fandom. I used it to escape from the world once, and that safe coccoon first saved, then nearly smothered me. Upon emerging I vowed I would never go there again. Ever since I was 13 or so, every time I get a little “too” into something, I got scared I would re-embrace the addiction, and turn back into that mopey tween who spent 3 years hiding from the world in books and music and TV. That fear is a big source of my occasional lack of empathy, and one of my less lovely traits.
To become the human being, educator, and writer I need to be, I need to get over my fear of vulnerability, take a giant step if you will, and take things to the next level. Part of that, for me, is embracing the geeksquee (as nostalgia chick would say) and occasionally exploring it analytically, which is what this Tumblr will do for me. I hope you enjoy the journey, take something away from it, and engage me in the comments. Agree, disagree, call my ideas stupid, it’s all good. I’d just love for this site to become a forum for a conversation on all of these Big Issues. But at the end of the day, no flaming please. After all, It’s just fandom.

Investors balked at extending the market�s recent rally Friday despite an improved outlook from Intel Corp.
Stocks closed mostly lower, as losses among health care stocks offset small gains in technology companies. The Dow Jones industrial average lost about 36 points, breaking an eight-day winning streak.
Trading was quiet, as it has been all week, as summer vacations kept many traders out of the market. With fewer participants, the market lost some of its recent momentum that had sent the major indexes up about 5 percent in less than two weeks.
Stocks managed to carve out their sixth weekly advance in seven weeks, but the gains were minimal.
Wall Street turned cautious this week as investors worried that the market�s rally, now closing in on six months, may have run its course.

The holidays are all about celebrating with loved ones, but unsustainable shopping habits can easily transform the most wonderful time of the year into the most wasteful.
According to a 2017 CIBC online poll, Atlantic Canadians are the country’s top gift buyers. Adults who were randomly selected for the poll said they would be spending about an average of $900 per person in the 2017 holiday season.
But, with gift giving comes a hidden cost: more landfill waste.
Joanna Bull, volunteer co-ordinator at the Ecology Action Centre, says many gifts bought from stores or online come wrapped in packaging that is usually non-recyclable. These materials end up in landfills.
Bull says people can decrease waste by changing their shopping habits. This includes shopping for local crafts, instead of online, and gifting used books.
“A lot of these things are actually our cultural traditions that have been replaced by, sort of, our consumerist society,” says Bull.
Rachael Delano, programs administrator at Kind Krafts, suggests making gifts.
Kind Krafts, a non-profit organization based in Halifax, holds free workshops that teach participants how to make crafts from repurposed or sustainable materials, like donated wool for mittens and biodegradable hemp for bracelets. The crafts are usually donated back to the organization, which, in turn, sells them and donates the proceeds for a cause.
Instead of using non-recyclable wrapping paper and ribbons, Delano suggests using old newspaper and holding it in place with biodegradable twine.
“It relieves a financial burden, because you can use free copies of newspapers instead of buying wrapping paper,” says Delano.
Wrapping the present with a scarf.
The choices you make when you receive gifts can also reduce waste. If a gift replaces an old item, recycle the item instead of throwing it away.
If the item is made of plastic, it may not get recycled in Canada. According to Environment and Climate Change Canada, less than 11 per cent of plastics are recycled in the country.
“It’s really disheartening to find that a lot of that stuff is ending up in the landfill anyway,” says Bull.
Delano says people should repurpose items they don’t need.
“It’s staying in your life in a different way or staying in someone else’s life,” she says.
Old items can also be used to make something new, like turning an old vinyl record into a record bowl. The bowl can be used as a pen holder or a planter.
Electronic Products Recycling Association has drop-off locations in HRM for electronics such as TVs, DVD players, computers and cell phones.

On Saturday September 15th 2012, thousands of people around the world will take part in a global event: “World Wide Views on Biodiversity”. The project will engage ordinary citizens in as many countries as possible in the process of policymaking and awareness raising to sustain a living and healthy planet. At least a hundred citizens in each participating country will attend day-long meetings to learn about biodiversity issues, make up their minds about them, and express their views. The meetings will start at dawn in the Pacific and continue until dusk in the Americas. All meetings will have the same agenda and use the same approach in order to make results comparable and useful for policymakers gathering the following month in India to discuss future policy measures for preserving biological diversity.
The results of WWViews meetings will be presented to the delegates of the Convention on Biological Diversity at the COP 11 one month later in Hyderabad, India. Experts, NGOs, industries and politicians have a say in these international negotiations. The meeting aims to make the voices of citizens heard.

Robert Lindner’s 1944 classic Rebel Without a Cause follows the successful analysis and hypnosis of a criminal psychopath, Harold. In full transcriptions of their forty-six sessions, Lindner takes his patient into the depths and recesses of his childhood memories. Plumbing the free-associative monologues for clues to unlock the causes of Harold’s criminal behavior, Lindner portrays a man cut off from himself and unable to attach himself to others.
Lindner reveals to Harold long-hidden incidents from his infancy and childhood that served to propel him toward a troubled and chaotic adulthood, full of armed robbery, break-ins and random sexual encounters. With care and diligence, patient and analyst begin to excavate events from Harold’s childhood and reconstruct them as a foundation for analysis.
Heralded as a classic upon its publication, Rebel Without a Cause is the tale of a masterful analysis that is still relevant today, against the complex issues of sanity, rehabilitation, and crime that resonate in our legal system.

When the Ann Arbor, MI-based startup Larky launched its mobile app and website in April, its mission was to aggregate the many discounts offered by alumni associations, stores like Costco, organizations like AAA and AARP, and other groups looking to add value to their memberships.
The problem, says co-founder Andrew Bank, was that Larky’s research found that 175 million people were members of at least three organizations offering member discounts, but 72 percent didn’t know what their discounts were or how to get them. Merchants also weren’t asking customers if they qualify for a discount at the point of sale.
Larky’s app gives users a consolidated view of all their memberships and, using GPS coordinates, sends a push notification to users’ phones when they’re near a member discount. The app functions as a mobile wallet for discount cards, and Bank says it’s “silly simple” to sign up—users indicate which organizations they belong to on a checklist. No membership numbers are required, he adds. According to Blank, the average Larky user has seven memberships and can save up to $1,000 per year using Larky.
On Wednesday, Larky announced a new partnership with the health insurance giant Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan in an effort to increase BCBSM members’ participation in the Healthy Blue Xtras program, which offers discounts from Michigan merchants centered around a healthy lifestyle. Bank and his wife have been BCBSM members for about 10 years, he says, and yet they had no idea the program existed. Once they discovered it, Bank says he contacted Blue Cross to offer Larky’s services, and the two entities teamed up for a yearlong project to promote Larky’s services and get members signed up to Healthy Blue Xtras.
So far, Bank says Larky has “not quite 50,000” users, though he expects to see that number rise, thanks to the new partnership with BCBS, which has 4 million total members—500,000 of whom have opted in to receive e-mails about Healthy Blue Xtras.
As Larky continues its efforts to spread the word about its services, it has received praise from Good Housekeeping and Lifehacker. Bank says the company, which raised a $400,000 seed round from North Coast Technology Investors and the First Step Fund in the spring, is still in fundraising mode and expects to close a $2 million round in the next 60 days from investors in the Midwest, New York, and Silicon Valley.
Though Larky’s app—available on iOS and coming soon for Android—is free for users, membership organizations pay to be included. So far, Bank says, the feedback from them has been good. After all, he points out, what’s the point of offering member discounts as a value-add if nobody is using them?

Toyota said its total historical sales of vehicles powered by electricity and gasoline reached 5 million units through March 31.
Toyota Motor kept its title as the most valuable car brand in 2015 despite recent airbag recalls denting its worth, according to a study.
BMW remained No. 2, according to the BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands study released today by market researcher Millward Brown. Mercedes-Benz was third.
Toyota’s brand value fell 2 percent to $28.9 billion, according to the study.
Honda was the only other top 10 brand to have its value drop besides Toyota, as it also suffered from the effects of airbag recall issues. Its brand value fell 5 percent to $13.3 billion.
Toyota and Honda are among automakers forced to recalls millions of vehicles, mainly in the U.S., fitted with airbag inflators supplied by Takata that can erupt with too much force, spraying shrapnel inside the car.
Toyota has been No. 1 in eight of the 10 years the study has been carried out.
Second-ranked BMW’s value increased 2 percent to $26.4 billion. BMW received a boost from its innovative i8 plug-in hybrid sports car and i3 battery-powered hatchback. Mercedes’s brand value rose 1 percent to $21.8 billion.
Audi was the fastest-rising car brand, overtaking parent Volkswagen for the No. 7 spot. Audi’s brand value increased 43 percent to $10.1 billion compared to 2014, according to the study.
Ford Motor’s value increased at the second-fastest clip by 11 percent.
Land Rover overtook Chevrolet for the No. 9 spot by appealing to customers’ demand for SUVs while surpassing expectations with the luxury driving experience it offers, Walshe said. “Land Rover is not worried about being worth the premium price it charges, because that is what makes the brand desirable,” Walshe said.
Land Rover is also doing particularly well in China where it now has production, Walshe said. “Land Rover’s success in China is a big step, because up until now, the brand has mainly been about quality in the UK,” he said.
Toyota’s Lexus brand overtook Hyundai to rank No. 10 thanks to its association with luxury and reliability, Walshe said. “While Lexus is oriented towards the U.S., the brand is about absolute quality and complete differentiation, leadership and being very well managed,” Walshe said.
The top 10 car brands collectively have grown more slowly by 3 percent to $143.6 billion, a levelling off from 2014's 17 percent increase, as it becomes more difficult for carmakers to differentiate themselves. “Because of the high quality and technology involved required to raise brand value, it is harder to be differentiated,” Walshe said.
Apple passed Google to become the world’s valuable brand in the overall rankings. Apple’s brand value rose 67 percent to $247 billion. Google, last year’s leader, saw its brand value rise 9 percent to $173.7 billion.

A "data file" (as we use the term) is a computer file that contains assorted types of information. A data file is not something like a graphic image or an audio stream; data files almost always contain some text.
To put this in technical terms, by "data files" we mean ASCII flat files, though we can also convert EBCDIC, raw binary data, many databases, even Excel spreadsheets and Word documents.
To convert the data file... it is read and interpreted, then a new output file is created. The conversion process can edit and replace certain items of data, remove others, make calculations, move things around, and so on.
People request our services when they have a file that is wrong format for their requirements. As data file conversion specialists, we can help you.
Until the day arrives when every program can understand every other program, there will be a need for data file conversion.
