More news: read all about the new AAduino Zero.
News: the crowd sourcing campaign for the AAduino will start soon, sign up at CrowdSupply to be notified! The specs have been beefed with an STM32L0 cpu and the temperature sensor is now an industrial grade TMP102.
Update: you can now order the AAduino PCB from DirtyPCBs.com and get a Commadorable 64 bonus PCB for free.
I have been using Nathan Chantrell’s Tiny328 for quite some time as my swiss army knife ISM radio node. Now I wanted a more slim ISM node as my setup with a Tiny328 on a breadboard is not very “deployable”. I could of course 3D print a case for the Tiny328 but I have limited access to 3D printers and do not feel I have the time to explore that exciting part of the maker world just yet. This leaves me with finding off the shelf project boxes with a compartment for 2x AA batteries and the “radioduino” (and in an acceptable form factor). That search came up disappointingly, and surprisingly, short. I did have a set of standard eBay AA battery holders and looking at the 3x variant it occured to me. I needed to shrink the radio node, and the AAduino was born.
The AAduino is an wireless Arduino clone the size of an AA battery with Keystone battery terminals rotated 180° to act as positive and negative terminals. It is powered by an ATMega328p and is fitted with an RFM69C companion. There is room for two DS18B20 temperature sensors and an indicator LED.
It runs at 8Mhz to allow for greater life span since the CPU can run at a lower voltage. I have fused the 328 to brown out at 1.7V which is a bit out of spec at 8Mhz and slightly below what the RFM69C needs. Running at 4Mhz would be more suitable but I will see how well the node performs when the batteries are draining out.

One of the women's nightmares is undoubtedly the flaccidity of the skin. Generally, the face is the area of the body most affected by flaccidity but you can notice them anywhere if you don't take care of yourself enough.
Royal jelly: Smoothes the skin and increases its elasticity, stimulating the fibroblasts (cells that form the fibers) and conducting more elastin and collagen.
Sangre de Cristo" seaweed: It is one of the best healing and collagen precursors. Provides polysaccharides (sugars) that provide hydration.
Lemon and passion fruit extracts: Contain alpha-hydroxy acids in small quantities, with moisturizing and exfoliating effects.
Silicones (cyclomethicones): Soften the skin.
Vitamin E: Antioxidant and anti-free radicals.
Sun filter: Protects against solar radiation.
*Suitable for both men and women, its effect lasts 24 hours.
Say goodbye to the flaccidity of your complexion.
Apply once or twice a day on the area to be treated and massage until completely absorbed.

It’s been almost a decade since blockchain technology made its debut. Since then, blockchain has evolved more quickly than anyone could have anticipated. It was designed to be a decentralized tool with potentially dozens of applications. Blockchain startups have attracted billions in venture capital and everyone—from banks to supply chains—is exploring blockchain-based projects.
For many, though, a key challenge remains: quantifying success. How can an organization tell when it’s making gains with the technology and justify moving projects forward to the next level? With many companies thinly spreading their resources between different emerging technologies, a mature approach to evaluating your blockchain implementation is crucial.
For many companies, blockchain is a bandwagon technology. It’s new, it’s exciting, and it lends superficial credibility to projects. They adopt blockchain technology for the wrong reasons and inevitably see their projects fail. The more failures the industry sees, the more disillusioned people become.
It’s the same with many technologies, which is why Gartner developed the Hype Cylce for Emerging Technologies, which charts a young technology’s journey from research lab to commercial adoption and beyond. Somewhere along their journey lies the trough of disillusionment, when early adopters find the technology lagging behind expectations. According to Gartner, blockchain technology entered that phase this summer.
To make your blockchain implementation truly transformative, projects should begin with the business objectives and apply blockchain technology when they can capitalize on its key characteristics. A decentralized, immutable trust model keeps all players honest. For example, for financial settlements or supply-chain management, blockchain can be a powerful tool.
Alignment between technology outcomes and business goals is a key factor in blockchain project success. Start with business objectives, which should be specific, measurable, agreed-upon, realistic, and time-based (SMART). Because SMART business goals have measurable objectives, executives can use them to create key performance indicators (KPIs). They can then use these to measure the performance of the blockchain-based business system. For example, a business goal might involve cutting costs and time by limiting an intermediate third party and dealing directly with customers. That could be a candidate for a blockchain implementation because there is clear mapping between blockchain qualities and the business goal. It’s the right tool for the job.
The metrics used will depend on the business vertical and the specific use case. They will also depend on the business stakeholders. For example, finance executives may have different agendas from managers in other lines of business. Aligning these multiple objectives is a key part of the planning phase.
There are few, if any, frameworks for measuring blockchain success in this way. Consider creating a quadrant for each business goal, with X and Y axes representing two related metrics that you can use to plot performance relevant to that goal. Cost per transaction and time per transaction are two examples that might fit a particular business objective. Set dates to evaluate the performance of a blockchain implementation with a clear indication of where you’d like each data point to be. By measuring these indicators, companies can see how well their blockchain-based systems are performing against expectations. If a company measures a legacy system that the blockchain is replacing against the same metrics, it can be a useful tool in quantifying blockchain technology’s benefits compared to previous solutions.
Beyond the immediate value to a particular business application, consider the potential value of the blockchain as a means of capitalizing on your other business resource: data. Companies will generate increasing amounts of data in the next few years, not only from existing business systems, but also from new initiatives such as connected IoT sensors. This data has an immense amount of value for third parties, but it must be sold via secure marketplaces that protect sensitive information and only allow the appropriate data to be transacted.
Blockchain technology will be a useful tool in the development of these marketplaces. It could generate significant new revenue streams for companies as they unlock the unrealized value in everything from connected fleet vehicle tracking systems through to usage data in consumer devices.
Companies must manage this process sensitively and with a deep understanding of data privacy and information flows. Partnering with the right big data analytics company provides a powerful enablement layer for ingesting, processing, and analyzing data.
The important thing here is for companies to see blockchain as a means to an end, rather than as the end in itself. The truly successful blockchain will be invisible, serving merely as efficient infrastructure to power decentralized applications that deliver benefits to all participants.
If you want to know whether your blockchain project has succeeded, don’t look at the blockchain—look at the business benefits it brings.
To learn more about blockchain, and its impact on data marketplaces, read this article.

In Maori, New Zealand is known as Aotearoa—the land of the long white cloud, an apt name, considering the drizzle and fog hovering overhead for the last few days. But in a redemptive turn, it is at least a long white cloud from which emerge many birds.
The two anchorages we’ve visited, Roberton Island and Orokawa Bay, are lined with rocky, crushed shell beaches, impossibly green grasslands, and magnificent trees that house land and shorebirds of the region.
The tui is the most abundant. Recognized by its sing-song call and feathers—a white tuft below the throat, an entire body of metallic black that shine green, blue, and purple in the sunshine—tuis spend their days searching for nectar and honey, heads buried between flax petals and dusted with pollen, or inflating their profiles and battling with their cousins for ownership of the most vibrant flora.
Slightly more endearing are the New Zealand dotterel and oystercatchers.
Both nest on the beach, and both are endangered by invasive pests like rats, stoats, and summer merrymakers. They’ve developed convergent behaviors to defend themselves, clucking, dive bombing, or even faking a wing injury to distract those who might wander too close to their nest. Strong conservation efforts are underway, by humans who cordon off areas around their nests, and by the birds themselves—there are stories of dotterels tending to the eggs of oystercatchers while oystercatchers are out feeding.
And if that anecdote illustrating the power of love between species isn’t enough to keep us warm beneath the shadow of the long white cloud, I can’t imagine any amount of sunshine will.

Last Canadian Book Challenge Steve Zipp sent me a copy of his book Yellowknife. I never did get around to reading it then but made sure I would for the second Canadian Book Challenge. I'm glad I did.
Yellowknife follows the lives of a collection of quirky characters who find themselves in Yellowknife, NWT at the end of the last century. There are drifters, scientists, politicians, con men, natives, and a bunch of others. There is no central character but all of their stories become entangled throughout the novel. Yellowknife itself is a character, always dangling a golden carrot just out of all their reaches.
I just loved this book. The writing was more than I expected. Smooth and lyrical with great humour. The characters were well developed. I got attached to them as soon as they arrived on the page. In fact, I wondered what happens to each of them after the book ends. Ever read a book like that?
I've never been to the North. It really does seem like a mysterious place to me. Zipp painted a picture of a place of gritty industrialism and endless wilderness. I felt like I was there. So many bizarre incidents happen in the novel. (My favorites were the snowmobile stealing dog and the hockey rink in Russia). But they all fit in well and keep a nice pace. I also enjoyed the sprinkling of magical realism. There is a fine line between myth and reality in Yellowknife.
I highly recommend Yellowknife, whether you're Canadian or not.
Once I realized there wasn't a linear plot, I let go and quite enjoyed it. A most unusual book that I never would have read if Zipp hadn't offered.
Oh..I have this book too! I really need to read it. Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful review Christina! I just added it to my TBR.
I'm a Buckeye in BC (where they call buckeyes horse chestnuts), and I think I'll be putting this on my list of books to check the library for. Thanks for the push!
Who is the author of Yellowknife, please?
Raidergirl- Yeah, I had to figure that out too.
Stephanie- Glad you have it!
Carrie- It has that kind of feel to it.
John- Whose blog is this again? j/k Glad you feel at home there.
Jena- Steve Zipp. Thanks for the visit!
The sprinkling of magical realism sealed the deal - one more for my wishlist! It sounds like something I'd really enjoy.
I do enjoy quirky characters so it's going on my list. I'm really digging the cover too!

For the past two years Gallery Guichard, located in Chicago at 3521 S. King Drive, has worked with 12 international interns from China attending the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT). These students, on temporary visas, are receiving their master degrees in marketing, finance and public administration. Most plan to return to China after graduation, while others wish to remain in the USA.
The experience they receive not only helps them complete college requirements, but also provides life- changing experiences through the understanding of contemporary fine art and exposure to diverse cultures outside of their own. The interns learn about contemporary art and many aspects of the gallery business like curation, hanging and installing, handling and wrapping, bookkeeping, social marketing and many other roles intended to give them a well rounded experience. They participate in art exhibitions at the gallery as well as art fairs and festivals. With all of the experience they receive, the most valuable is the ability to interact with artists, customers and staff, creating art spaces, understanding the market value of art and how to market art to increase sales.
Each internship program lasts one semester. One student in particular, Charlene Chen, extended her internship because of the experience she received. Her experience helped her make an important career decision, to become a gallery owner when she returns to China, with the hope to create an international gallery exchange with Gallery Guichard.
Her next assignments in the gallery will be marketing exhibitions and featured artwork through social marketing and preparing the gallery for an art exhibit as a vendor at the National Black MBA Association National Conference Sept. 10 -14, 2013 in Houston, Texas. The exhibit will feature more than 40 works of art by Gallery Guichard resident artists.

Barely legible handwritten prescriptions could become a pharmacists' headache of the past in Ontario as the provincial government on Tuesday introduced its first phase of a paperless prescription process.
The system, called ePrescribing, lets doctors forgo handwritten prescriptions, instead sending instructions to pharmacists electronically through a private computer network.
Doctors say patient safety will be enhanced because the prescriptions will be legible and clear.
"Messy handwriting, it's a huge concern," said Dr. Lewis O'Brien, a family physician in Sault Ste. Marie, one of two communities testing the electronic prescription system.
"It's a natural occurrence of people that are too busy and trying to do too much."
Ontario wants to broaden the scope of practice for many health-care professionals as part of a strategy to address the chronic shortage of doctors, proposing new rules that would allow nurse practitioners to set broken bones and give dental hygienists the power to write prescriptions and sell medicine.
Under legislation introduced Monday, dentists would be able to fill prescriptions, pharmacists would be allowed to write refills for prescriptions, and physiotherapists would be given the power to order X-rays and treat injuries.
The proposed changes will make Ontario's health-care system more efficient and more accessible, Premier Dalton McGuinty said.
This article could replace every reference of New Zealand and change it to Canada and it could be published in a Canadian paper. The issues seem to be the same around the world.
Pharmacists' calls for more healthcare responsibility could have dangerous consequences if patients stopped seeing their GP, the head of the Medical Association has warned.
Peter Foley's comments follow the Pharmacy Guild's push for more funding, as part of a review of its district health board contracts, to act as a first point of contact in administering some health care.
Health Minister Tony Ryall said this week the Government was in talks with pharmacists about them playing a bigger role in tending to the sick.
Automated telephone call reminders helped people with high blood pressure to lower their readings compared with people who did not receive the calls, researchers in Montreal found.
In the one-year study to be published in the journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, 223 patients with hypertension were randomly assigned to receive calls from a computer-based system at least once a week with high readings sent to their doctors or receive an educational booklet and usual medical care.
"Forty-six per cent were controlled, achieved the target, versus 28 per cent without the system," senior author Dr. Pavel Hamet, a professor of medicine, physiology and nutrition at the University of Montreal, said Tuesday.
Imagine being able to get your next prescription filled without having to go to a pharmacy. It's not such a bitter pill to swallow if you're in Ontario.
The government has introduced a bill that would allow you to receive your Rx from a special drug dispensing vending machine, making it easier to get your prescriptions renewed.
A labour arbitrator has reversed the firing of a veteran elementary-school janitor who sucker punched his boss, ruling that an experimental arthritis drug the man was taking as part of a clinical trial helped trigger the angry outburst.
It may be the first time in a Canadian legal hearing that pharmaceutical adverse effects have been successfully invoked to justify violent behaviour.
The custodian, Alf Clayfield, had put in 22 years of generally exemplary service with an Ontario school board before the October incident with his manager.
He acted out of character partly because of the medicine's neurological side effects, the arbitrator said in replacing the dismissal with a three-month suspension.
Frank Taylor may be fighting colon cancer, but he still has enough energy to pressure the province to cover the expensive colorectal cancer medication Avastin.
New Brunswick is one of only three Canadian provinces that don't pay for the medication - Prince Edward Island and Manitoba are the others.
That's forced Taylor to borrow about $35,000 from the bank to pay for his costly treatment sessions.
He said he's been drumming up support for the cause since he was diagnosed with colon cancer months ago, and he won't stop until every New Brunswicker is given the same access to the drug as other Canadians.
"We've got to do something about this," he said.
Retailers are shifting their focus to private-label brands as more Canadians search for low-cost shopping alternatives, and the chief executive of Shoppers Drug Mart wants to ensure that the company's popular Life brand and its other private-label products, aren't left in the dust.
Jurgen Schreiber told shareholders at the company's annual meeting Thursday that Canada's largest drug store chain by revenues (TSX:SC) is introducing three to five new private-label items each day, as part of long-term revamp of its private-label products across the entire store.
"There's so many more private-label (items) in the store," the CEO said in an interview after the meeting.
"Last year we had, I think, 1,800 new products coming in on private label."
The province's prescription drug plan is estimated to cost taxpayers about $313 million this year, according to the provincial budget. (CBC)The Saskatchewan government is keeping a wary eye on the manufacturers' drug rebates being paid to pharmacies — an estimated $30 million to $40 million a year.
According to Health Ministry officials, the money — which the makers of generic prescription drugs routinely pay to pharmacy companies — should be going toward reducing the overall drug bill for taxpayers.
There are about 350 pharmacies in the province, so $35-million worth of rebates would work out to an average of $100,000 for each one.
For years, the province has liked generic drugs, because they're cheaper than their brand-name equivalents — and keeping drugs costs under control has been a priority.
Kevin Wilson, the executive director of the Health Ministry's drug plan branch, says the impact of rebates on drug costs is a problem the government is just trying to get a handle on now.
Palestinians struggling to cope with the Israeli blockade of Gaza and the trauma of war are turning to painkillers and tranquillizers at a rate that risks triggering a wave of addiction.
There is also evidence of mounting recreational drug use as Gaza drifts in limbo, with no clear political future.
Gaza residents reported health problems after a 22-day Israeli offensive last January, with most citing psychological problems and stress, according to a survey published by the United Nations Gender Task Force on April 21.
"With increased trauma and stress and limited access to professional psychosocial services, there is a rising problem of self-medication with unsupervised pharmaceutical therapies among the Gaza population," said a summary presented in Jerusalem.
Recession-addled consumers continue to spend more money at Shoppers Drug Mart Corp., despite the fact that it is not a discount retailer.
Chief executive Jurgen Schreiber said Thursday that the number of transactions at the country’s biggest drug retailer is up and that spending on an average basket at the checkout counter is "significantly up," which goes against general recessionary trends.
The biggest change that retailers tend to see during a recession "is that customers do fewer trips -- in general terms, a 5% to 7% reduction," Mr. Schreiber said following the pharmacy giant’s annual general meeting of shareholders. "But I don’t see that in our business."

Are you at a standstill when you think about your career prospects? Maybe you're hoping to kick things off in a new field, or maybe you're happy where you are but you're hungry to expand your breadth of knowledge and bring some new energy and qualifications to your current position.
Regardless of which scenario applies to you, we can all agree that dedicating time and money to an undergraduate or post-graduate degree program is a pretty big commitment — especially if you're just looking to take a few steps forward.
Certificate programs were designed to help people just like you further your education at a pace that fits with the personal and financial commitments you're willing to make.
Whether you're seeking advancement in the field of business, healthcare or education, there are a number of certificate programs to consider. We outlined six of them below.
With the influx of technology in healthcare settings, the amount of patient data made available to nurses is constantly increasing. But with this increase comes a new assortment of responsibilities. The ability to effectively sort, retrieve and manage patient data has the potential to dramatically impact patient outcomes.
Informatics — or the science of processing and storing data — is becoming an in-demand requirement for nurses both newly graduated and experienced. Whether you're just completing nursing school, or you've been working in the field for years, a nursing informatics certificate can be your golden ticket to make sure you're earmarked for promotion.
This fully online program can help you earn your certificate in a matter of just six courses. Learn more about the nursing informatics certificate program here.
Earlier we discussed the importance of technology integration for nurses, but its significance doesn't stop there. The influx of technology in our medical facilities impacts healthcare workers as a whole. Properly functioning systems — and personnel who are qualified in operating them — can greatly influence the quality of overall healthcare in our country.
A healthcare informatics certificate program will focus on the application of computers to generate, validate, secure and integrate healthcare data so it can be effectively used to support the decision-making activities of clinical and administrative professionals. This certificate program will teach you about the foundations of health informatics, system design and software development, healthcare data analytics and important medical systems vocabulary.
Offered in a distance learning format, this certificate program can be completed in less than a year. You can learn more about what a certificate in healthcare informatics can do for you by visiting the program information page.
Are you highly organized, detail-oriented and able to adapt to a number of different environments? As a project manager, you can find yourself working just about anywhere with a variety of different industries, including healthcare, IT, construction, human resources, graphic design and everything in between.
Earning a master certificate in project management can be a great opportunity for you, no matter what field your undergraduate degree is in. You can learn about project initiation and planning, effective communication, leadership theories and strategic decision making models that increase effectiveness in major projects of all kinds.
Offered in a fully online format, this graduate-level certificate can be completed in as few as two semesters. You can learn more about the master certificate in project management here.
Schools in the U.S. have long been lagging behind other countries in computer science education. As a result, the White House and other organizations are calling for a nationwide increase in the amount of computer science courses being taught to our young students.
Certificate programs in computer science education exist to bridge that gap. Programs like this one are designed to prepare educators with courses on computer science principles, computational thinking, programming and more.
This fully online program can be completed in less than two years. Learn more by visiting the computer science education certificate page.
Across the country, healthcare professionals in rural areas are facing many new challenges and concerns. Today's healthcare leaders need a new range of knowledge and skills to meet these challenges and provide the quality healthcare that rural communities must have.
A certificate in healthcare administration provides current information and skills in leadership, finance, managing change, and other key areas. The courses focus on cases that can be transferred back to your facilities, staff and patients. The programs emphasize teamwork, critical thinking and communication, networking, and personal interactions with our experienced faculty.
This 100 percent online program is designed for healthcare professionals at all levels who serve rural communities, and recognize the need to manage the emerging challenges and changes in the healthcare system. Learn more about what this graduate certificate program has to offer by visiting the healthcare administration information page.
The demographic of the country's K-12 student population has seen a rapid shift. Alongside the changing faces of our young students come a number of needs that may be new to even the most seasoned K-12 teachers.
A certificate in culturally responsive pedagogy is designed for educators who are interested in developing strategies that will enhance their instruction while improving the academic achievement of students from varying backgrounds. The program's courses cover everything from demographic trends and achievement disparities to practical, hands-on pedagogy for fostering an equitable and inclusive classroom.
A fully online program, candidates who enroll in one course per semester can earn a certificate within one year. Learn more about what this graduate certificate program has to offer by visiting the culturally responsive practice information page.
Can a college certificate take your career to the next level?
Career advancement is still an option for those not ready to commit to an entire graduate degree. College certificate programs were designed for people just like you!
If you're interested in learning more about what certificate options could help you take the next step in your career, head over to The College of St. Scholastica's information page where you can read about 14 distinct certificate programs.

ROCK HILL, S.C. — March 4, 2019 — SDL Atlas is pleased to introduce RemoteAccess, Remote Instrument Monitoring Application, a new system for monitoring and tracking the progress of instruments from outside of the lab.
Through the RemoteAccess, operators can now track the real-time testing progress of instruments anytime, anywhere, on the go. No longer confined to laboratories during long tests, the App allows operators to view remaining testing time against the end of a test, giving them a good grasp of the testing status with a glance of the RemoteAccess App.
Additionally, pop-up messages will notify operators 5 minutes in advance of the end of the tests with optional notification sound and/or vibration alerts.
The RemoteAccess App is currently available for download for both the iOS and Android Platforms and compatible with three SDL Atlas Instruments, the Martindale Abrasion and Pilling Tester, the RotaPill and the newly redesigned Launder-Ometer, which will be available in June. More instruments will be added to RemoteAccess over time.

The tenth anniversary of the founding of the European Economic Community, better known as the Common Market, is to be marked by a meeting of officials of the six member countries on March 25 in Rome, where the treaty creating the organization was signed in 1957. The gathering, suggested by the Italian government early in January, will be purely ceremonial, but it is altogether likely that the representatives of Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands will not let slip the opportunity to discuss questions facing the Common Market at the opening of its second decade.
Among those questions is the renewal of Great Britain's efforts to gain entry to the group. Prime Minister Harold Wilson announced Nov. 10, 1966, that it was his nation's “clear intent and determination” to become a member of the E.E.C., and in January and the first part of February he journeyed to the capitals of the six countries to take soundings. French President de Gaulle, who vetoed Britain's first application in 1963, remains cool to British entry notwithstanding Wilson's stated willingness to accept the provisions of the Treaty of Rome and all subsequent Community decisions.

From all the terms that you hear as a YouTuber, the one that probably still catches your attention the fastest is these 3 letters – RPM. Referring to revenue per 1,000 views, RPM is the dollar figure used to express how much a channel earned on average per 1,000 views after YouTube’s cut and any revenue splits are calculated. The revenue you earn is related to how many advertisements are placed on your videos and what type of ad it is.
The longer you are with the network, the more successful you will be. YouTube books higher-paying ad-campaigns based on the history of your channel with a Network. The more history you have, the more likely YouTube’s algorithm will match better campaigns to your content.
Differentiate yourself. Create the same kind of content on one channel. If you cover gaming, stick to gaming videos. If you do vlogs, do not start posting music videos. Ad campaigns target specific categories of content, and if you mix unrelated video categories, you will not get targeted ad campaigns.
Build a loyal and engaged audience that watches everything you post. The more watch time your videos get (not just more views), the more you will make because YouTube will recommend your video in the “Suggestions” column of related videos in the right sidebar when watching other videos!
Advertisers pay more for views from certain countries. Audiences are worth more if they watch your videos from these countries: USA, Canada, UK, Australia, Japan, Germany. Note: If you are Spanish, don’t stop creating Spanish-focused content, but try to engage an English speaking audience as well.
So there you have it, four ways you can help grow your RPM and better reach your goals as a YouTube Creator!

EOTD/FOTD: MAC Pink Bronze Pigment - Cherry Colors - Cosmetics Heaven!
I usually wake up really soon when I have to go to work. And even sooner to go to school ;_;. So in such mornings I prefer simple make up, with already known applications.
This time I used a sample of a shadow I got from a fellow (Kuki*) from the ars forum.
The pigments apply nicely. While I was applying it, I had the slight feeling that they have the foil finish. I'm not sure, but I liked it.

Wrestling fans were quick to form an internet lynch mob to criticize Brie Bella because Liv Morgan suffered a concussion. Jim Cornette offered defense.
When Liv Morgan suffered a concussion at the hands of Brie Bella on Monday Night Raw recently, “smart” wrestling fans formed an internet lynch mob to criticize the Total Bellas star.
Many fans claimed that this incident and other recent mistakes means Brie Bella shouldn’t be in the ring. Her husband, WWE star Daniel Bryan, defended his wife from cyberbullying.
“Almost every wrestler has hurt someone” Bryan claimed.
On Monday, Bryan got indirect back-up to that statement by legendary wrestling manager Jim Cornette.
“Oh good god,” Cornette exclaimed.
“It was a “f*cking potato. It was a timing thing both girls were involved in and it’s sh*t that happens, because this ain’t ballet,” Cornette said.
As his fans know, Jim Cornette is about as old school as they come. So old school, in fact, that he watches very little current wrestling product – including anything involving Brie Bella or her twin sister Nikki. He has no reason or inclination to defend modern wrestling, which he often spends more time criticizing.
He just calls them like he sees them. Which is exactly what makes his defense of Brie Bella so insightful.
“I saw that incident, which is the sum total of Brie Bella that I’ve seen… to be perfectly honest. I don’t know if she’s good, bad or indifferent. But since everybody was tweeting that and up in arms about it…” Cornette said.
“The point is, the rhythm… it got off and the foot met the face…” he added.
Cornette drove home the point that accidents are par for the course in professional wrestling, echoing Bryan and other wrestlers who have defended Brie Bella.
“But sh*t happens. It wasn’t that big a f*cking deal,” Cornette reiterated.
The legendary manager of the Midnight Express – considered by many to be one of the greatest tag teams of the 1980s and all time – then put into context just how “standard” wrestling accidents are.
“Let’s put it this way. There were guys in the territory days that worked like that or a little bit more reckless as a nightly standard. To me, I couldn’t see what the big deal about this was,” Cornette said.
“Most potatoes happen when people get excited and start doing things too fast… not catching eye contact with their opponent so that they know something’s coming, or you don’t really know which direction they were coming from,” he said.
“The Von Erichs were like that!” referring to the famous Texas wrestling family that achieved great fame in the 80s and 90s (Kerry Von Erich’s daughter Lacey is a professional wrestler today).
“It wasn’t going to kill you, but you didn’t know where it was coming from so you didn’t have time to get ready,” Cornette explained.

Quite recently my Q10 started playing up, and people have not been able to hear me on calls.
I thought maybe the mic is broken, but I can still record audio clips using voice-note recorder or via Whatsapp etc.
I'm a bit confused now about whether the Q10 has 2 microphones, or whether it's a different issue... any advice about what to do would be great.
I tried cleaning the mic port but this hasn't helped.

I have wondered why there has been so much interest from USA readers for my posting about the Claremont Bowling Club. The Club is an ordinary lawn bowling club the like of which is found in every town and city across Australia. My blog site statistics do not indicate which part of the USA my readers come from, so more research was required.
The name Claremont derives from the French for clear mountain, and was introduced into England by refugee French Hugenots in the early 18th century. The concept of clear mountain works here in Hobart because our town of Claremont sits comfortably at the feet of Mount Wellington.
There a city named Claremont in Sullivan County, New Hampshire, USA. It was named after Claremont, also known historically as ‘Clermont’, an 18th-century Palladian mansion of Thomas Pelham-Holles, Earl of Clare less than a mile south of the centre of Esher in Surrey, England. This New Hampshire city is located between the Ascutney State Park and the Hawks Mountain area to the west and Mount Sunapee to the east. Presumably offering clear mountains.
Our Claremont in the City of Glenorchy within the Greater Hobart Area is very different than the Californian town with the same name.
In America, the Gold Rush of 1849 opened up California so I suspect the name Claremont was probably given by someone remembering their English heritage when the town was created in the 1880s, or by someone who had travelled west from the New Hampshire town of the same name. I understand that the peaks of Mount Baldy, Mount San Antonio, Timber Mountain and others in the distance overlook the Californian city.
So now I have either or both California readers on the west coast of USA and New Hampshire readers on the east coast of the USA. Will the real reader/s stand up!
This entry was posted in Derwent River, Hobart, Mount Wellington, Tasmania, Walking and tagged America, Ascutney State Park, California, City of Glenorchy, Claremont, Claremont Bowling Club, Clermont, Earl of Clare, French, Gold Rush, Greater Hobart Area, Hawks Mountain, Hugenots, LosAngeles, Mount Baldy, Mount San Antonio, Mount Sunapee, New Hampshire, Palladian, Sullivan County, Surrey, The City of Trees and PhDs, Thomas Pelham-Holles, Timber Mountain, USA on January 2, 2015 by Tasmanian traveller.

In the month of May at the high-school we move into exam mode. Some classes are cancelled when the entire grade takes an exam but usually only some of my students will be absent (different pupils each time, depending on the subject they are majoring in). The school yard is half empty during breaks and the general atmosphere is one of a year drawing to a close.
Both students and I really need some fun and variety at this point.
As soon as I saw Jamie Keddie’s lesson, Lessonstream, on “How To Books” I knew this could be easily adapted for my students. The topic seemed just right for adolescents!
As some of you know from previous posts the word “easily” was not an apt description as I ended up copying the PDF file to PowerPoint picture by picture, but it was worth it!
I created a simple laminated, re-usable worksheet. I didn’t want the activity to be too difficult and I didn’t want to make photocopies. I planned that the students would fill in the missing answers on a piece of scrap paper.
The translations of the book titles were supplied, in a different order from that on the slideshow. The students were expected to match the Hebrew translation to the English title, copy the title onto the scrap paper and then write down one piece of advice that might appear in each book.
I realized I was in trouble by the time the first pair had completed the task. Two more pairs of students completed it (ending the day) before the new version “appeared”.
If it had been a photocopied worksheet the pupils would have copied the titles but in this format they simply wrote numbers. When they saw the word “school” they immediately matched it to “How to be an outstanding elementary school teacher” without reading the whole title or writing it all out. So, it became a writing activity since they only worked on the advice column.
That’s not a bad thing but certainly not utilizing a resource to its maximum potential.
This time, it wasn’t a laminated worksheet. I realized I had been thinking “old tech” . It’s a WORD document which the students have to keep open in another window.
Now the students took it for granted that they had to type EVERYTHING in and they had to really look at the information in order to match everything up.
The students still enjoyed it! They thought some of the titles were really funny and liked discussing what advice to give.
I had filled in “ Bring a Towel” as advice for the book “ How to Survive the End of the World” but not ONE student had seen the movie “A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy!!!
Here is the WORD document.
I “CLOUDED” my site too!
David Dodgson suggested making a WORD CLOUD  of one's blog.
Sandy Millin's CLOUD I decided to follow suit!
30 goals project I'm participating in!
have been devoted to books all the family can enjoy.
Finally – “The Kitchen” picture!
After every lecture I get repeated requests for copies of this picture-activity.
It is finally available in digital format!
As always, two versions, the red one is easier.
My deaf students are extremely efficient texters (what an amazing invention the cell phone is for them!). Yet I know some of my students text while driving! “I can text without looking” they say! True, but what about the reply?
When I saw this ad I knew I had to use it!
Here are two versions I prepared, the “red” one is a bit easier and uses some Hebrew.
As I mentioned in my previous post, I find pictures to be a useful tool for improving reading comprehension skills at all ages – you just need to use appropriate pictures.
One of the most important skills that pupils must acquire is answering questions with answers that are relevant to the type of question asked. In order to have the pupils actually focus on understanding the questions we must separate the questions from the texts which are difficult for them. There are a number of ways to do this. Using pictures is one of my favorites.
One of things I do with high-school students is ask “Bagrut Type” (matriculation exam format) questions about an interesting picture. For example, take the question “Where could you find such a picture?” Many pupils tend to respond in a concrete manner; “I can’t find such a picture”. Yet they must relate to the fact that if its an ad, it would probably be found in a magazine or newspaper, etc.
Pictures are also useful for practicing questions using common tricky phrases such as “the woman looks pleased”. Pupils tend to think that the word “look” only has one meaning and confuse “pleased” with “please”.
Here is one example I use. In future posts I will add more. I’m afraid I do not know who drew this picture (I found it ,slightly torn,amng postcards left to me by another teacher) and will gladly give full credit if anyone does know!

FICTION/The Spare Room By Helen Garner Canongate, 195pp. £12.99:HELEN GARNER ONCE lighted on this sentence from Thackeray's Vanity Fair:"In a carriage sat a discontented woman in a green mantle"; she dislikes the knowingness of the omniscient narrator. So, it is not surprising The Spare Roomis written as a personal record; first-person narrated and, perhaps because she is also a journalist, her subject is current and disputatious. She is a veteran and a survivor of genre-bending commotion, and this new, compact novel after a 15-year gap shows she is still up for treading the boundaries between fiction and opinion pieces. And while her focus is always on lived experience, her prose moves easily between life-changing decisions and the daily imperative of domestic tasks.
The novel reads as a polemic against rogue treatments for terminal cancer radiated with glimpses of social comedy - as in a discussion on whether the coffee for the coffee enemas should be organic. All those years ago Wyndham Lewis called for "fanatical scrupulosity"; the kind of fidelity to life that can be reproduced in fiction and this is what we get in The Spare Room. The shape and pace of the narrative imitates the sharp time and task boundaries of the novel.
The book itself is a little beauty, nice to hold with beautiful end-papers and a silk marker to hold your place.
The novel opens with Helen, a writer in her mid-60s (also the author's name) freshening up her spare room prior to the arrival of an old friend. Nicola has been invited to stay for three weeks because she signed up for a course of ghastly, expensive, rogue treatments for cancer at Melbourne's Theodore Institute.
Nicola is old stock Australian, hippyish, her gracious manner mixed with a touch of hauteur. She is in denial about the seriousness of her condition and insists the massive vitamin C injections, "ozone saunas", "cupping" and a compound of ground apricot stones will simply blast away her cancer. Days and nights are spent in a round of clinic-ferrying and sheet-washing - at least twice a night. Helen tries to hold her tongue as the treatments exacerbate Nicola's pain and cause loss of bodily function.
A most appealing feature of this novel is the elegance and taut style of the narrative voice as she gives expression to large and small questions - friendship, death, tolerance, truthfulness, and the work of the day. The authentic, down-under voice sustains the work through thoughtful and dialogue sequences.
Nicola's character is less realised than Helen's, whose self-image is severely tested - "I was supposed to be good in a crisis". We feel her gut-taut patience at Nicola's delusions about her "dozens of darling old school friends . . . (who'll) take me into their homes with all their hearts" - and wash her clean after sweats and oozings.

Begin envisioning what you want your post-divorce life to embody and start taking steps today to ensure that every day you get closer to having this life that you crave. Your life won’t suddenly become perfect tomorrow! I am not talking about waking up tomorrow and radically changing everything.
Pushing someone into attending counseling who does not feel that it will be effective will not make your marital issues any better.
If you had a loving nurturing relationship with your child, and you know you are putting their best interest first, and they are raging at you, it can be emotionally draining.

If your exchanges aren’t peaceful then it’s time to begin to transform them into the calm and respectful experience that you and your children deserve. I’m not just talking about the way you interact with your ex or children during the exchange, I am talking about the way you approach the entire exchange.
If you are a child of divorce, chances are good that your parents didn’t always model positive or healthy relationship behaviors in front of you.

“On Wednesday Pope Benedict XVI has erected an Apostolic Exarchate for the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church in the United States and appointed Father Thomas Naickamparampil as its first bishop. The pope also appointed him Apostolic Visitator for the Syro-Malankara Catholics in Canada and Europe.
The erection of the exarchate and appointments were publicized in Washington, July 14, by Msgr. Jean-François Lantheaume, Chargé d’Affaires, at the apostolic nunciature in the United States.
Father Naickamparampil is a priest of the Major Archiepiscopal Eparchy of Trivandrum, India.
This post from Catholic Answers Forum was pretty interesting and I thought it was worth sharing. The Syro-Malankara Church is Catholic and is found in India. It has eight different dioceses there called eparchies, and half a million followers. I had no idea that this branch of Catholicism even existed until I read this, and I find it extremely interesting. I didn’t know that there were Catholics in India, but I guess you learn something new every day don’t you. It is good to see that they are branching out and being accepted in the US, where they have a respectable 10,000 followers.

Earlier this week, I voted against Tory plans for tax credit cuts that will see families across Scotland. Although a Liberal Democrat motion which would have scrapped these dangerous plans altogether did not pass, another motion calling for the government to think again and introduce new protections was successful.
The response from Tories – in the House of Lords and in government – was hysterical. We were warned of a constitutional crisis. The reason for these shrill claims was that by convention, Lords do not vote down financial measures included in government manifestos or the Finance Bill.
But despite the protests of the Prime Minister and others, that is not what happened here. The Tories were attempting to force these cuts through using what is called a statutory instrument (so-called ‘secondary legislation’).
Legislation of this type cannot be amended and is subject to less scrutiny in parliament. The suspicion is that the only reason these major changes were put forward in secondary legislation is to keep the cuts as quiet as possible and give reluctant Tory MPs less opportunity to oppose them in the House of Commons.
The House of Lords has every right to vote down secondary legislation. Government defeats in the second chamber happen frequently on legislation of this sort. That is what happened on Monday.
We were not voting against Budget measures. We were not voting against something that was included at the heart of the Tory manifesto. We were voting against cuts that will hit 3 million families across the UK. These cuts were also specifically ruled out by David Cameron during the election campaign.
Holding government to account when Ministers take bad decisions is the primary role of any legislative body. I make no apologies for standing up for those who are set to lose out as a result of the damaging Tory plans.
This was the right decision, taken for the right reasons. I want to see reform of the House of Lords and an elected second chamber, but while the current system is in place, Lib Dems will use it to protect people on low and middle incomes whenever we can.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer has said that he will look again that these plans. That is welcome. But unless he comes back with new proposals that offer substantive protections for the poorest in our society then Lib Dems in the House of Lords will reject his plans again.
