I'd investigated and deployed several different content management systems before discovering Drupal. For me, the best thing about switching to this particular CMS was that you can create templates that use only CSS for layout, rather than tables, and the application itself doesn't fill your CSS layouts with tables either. Drupal has a very active community too.
You should make sure PHP5 is installed and working at this point. You'll also need a database server. MySQL 5 is the most common choice, and so that's what I'll be describing the use of in this article. PostgreSQL 7.3 or later is supported by the Drupal core modules, but not by all of the Drupal community's contributed modules (which can be very useful for extending your site).
Some of the packages in Etch don't have appropriate defaults for a Drupal site, particularly if you are running your website on a virtual server, where memory resources are shared with other people's sites.
Replace new_password in the above with something long and complicated; lots of random letters and numbers. This is not the root password for your system, it's for the primary database administrator, so it should be a different password (even if one person has both these roles).
After this, you can create a MySQL database for Drupal to use, following the install instructions on the Drupal site, or the install documents in the Drupal download tarball. Once that's done, open your web browser and enter the URL of the site you've set up in your Apache 2 configuration.
If everything has been configured correctly, you should see a Drupal page which asks you to enter the details of the MySQL database you've just set up. If that database works, you should next see a default Drupal page. You should now create the first user account straight away, with a good strong password, as this first user is the administrator of your new Drupal site.
Once you've chosen a theme, set your site information (such as site name, slogan and logo) and posted some initial content, there's a further tweak you should make as soon as possible.
On the Drupal navigation menu, by default in the left sidebar, go to Administer >> Site configuration >> Performance. Caching mode will be set to Disabled by default. You need to set this to Normal, otherwise your server could take a severe performance nosedive as soon as your new site starts getting a decent number of hits. This is because with caching disabled, Drupal will serve a fresh, dynamically generated page to every single anonymous viewer that drops by.
You can also set a minimum cache lifetime and enable CSS aggregation on this page, which should also help if site load increases. If you've made all these tweaks and your site still runs into memory exhaustion problems, particularly if it's running on a virtual server with shared hardware, you can lower Apache's MaxClients setting and MySQL's max_connections setting.
After it's been running for a couple of days, you'd then be wise to run MySQL Performance Tuning Primer Script which is a great tool to help you optimise your MySQL server further. Note it needs the bc package to run, which can be installed using "aptitude install bc".
Also, whilst Drupal is designed to only run on Apache it also runs very well on Lighttpd which uses a fraction of the memory of Apache. It takes a little tweaking of config files to get smart urls running because Lighttpd doesn't use .htaccess files, but it's well worth it in the long run.
Drupal 6 is due to reach beta very soon, and whilst it'll take many months for the contrib packages to become compatable with D6 the performance benefits will be worth it. Drupal 6 runs 19.5% faster than Drupal 5.2.
Finally, if your box is just a webserver and doesn't actually need to do fancy stuff with mail then you may want to install nullmailer rather than a big mta such as Postfix, Exim or Sendmail.
There doesn't seem to be a Drupal package in Etch. Or have I missed something?
There is a 5.x version in Testing and Unstable and a 4.5 in Old Stable. But I think it missed the mark for Stable.
Annoying as I would prefer to know that apt updates were handling any patching issues.
It's no big deal to unpack a fresh tarball and run Drupal's own upgrade script though.
I think if there was to be a backported package, it would need to be co-ordinated with the Debian Security Team. There seem to be plenty of actively exploited security problems with PHP, as I can see from my server logs that bots are trawling for non-existent PHP URLs.
The debian drupal management team made available an unofficial stable release of drupal packages vesions 4.7 and 5 for etch. The package is not present in the etch release but we`ve uploaded the packages to backports.org to make your life easier.
You're right. For some reason the drupal packages are not found in the repository. I suggest you check with the mailing list.
To help searchers: drupal6 on debian sid, lenny, and squeeze stores drupal modules in /usr/share/drupal6/sites which is /etc/drupal/6/sites.
You need to manually create an /etc/drupal/6/sites/all/modules directory.

But now we’re about to enter the Nineties, and some things have changed. Younger parents aren’t sure that an unambivalent appreciation of America is the right thing to teach modern children. And as for those who create the popular culture, well-grounded patriotism is no longer the style.
Our spirit is back, but we haven’t reinstitutionalized it. We’ve got to do a better job of getting across that America is freedom – freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of enterprise – and freedom is special and rare. It’s fragile; it needs protection.

A lot is happening lately behind the scenes for international hockey, so it seems. The FIH announced the “game changing” Hockey Pro League, starting in 2019 for example. Today marks the birthday for the Hockey Series, a new event replacing the Hockey World League. Always want to know who is playing when in the world of hockey? Take a look at this hockey calendar or click here to add it to your own calendar.
It is not an easy task managing expectations of hockey fans, coaches and players all over the planet. We live in a diverse world and hockey is not experienced the same in western Europe as it is in India or China or South Africa or Canada for example. And therefore expectations are different all over the world. Read Domestic hockey versus international hockey as I described it in an earlier opinion piece from last year here. Or listen to my “rant” :) on the global hockey podcast from 2018-05-31 by The Reverse Stick. Quite a challenge ahead for the FIH, as well as for all national hockey associations.
We know, in the aftershock from London 2012 and the bad report card hockey got from IOC, the people running our game seem to be questioning it all. Often a good exercise and not something to shy away from if you want to remain relevant. However we’re going somewhat overboard these days in my (not so humble) opinion… Small but insightful experiments in the EHL have given us real added value. The HIL from India with a more commercial set-up also added value. But it seems some these days want to completely reinvent the game of hockey. Why? Changing too much, especially all at once, will not add value but alienate the existing fanbase I’m afraid. The very, very strange ideas Hockey Australia is playing around with are not one but several steps too far for me. As is the new format the FIH is so keen to support: Hockey5s… But that’s just me being a rusty old traditionalist… or is it?
We’re delighted to see the expansion in numbers,” added Wyatt. “Hockey 5s has already proved very popular, and the FIH envisages that this exciting format will complement the 11-a-side game.
The title of this piece was “Hockey 5s will grow world game, says FIH“… Needless to say I have my doubts.
But do we really believe potential sports enthusiasts are looking for a completely new sport nobody has heard about, without or hardly any fanbase or active players, teams, clubs, competitions, events around the world?
As many in the world of hockey I still wonder why Hockey 5s is being promoted and endorsed. Most of the big hockey family throughout the entire world I talked to over these last years don’t get it either… But, instead of just bashing the idea, I would like to ask you to help me understand.
I think everybody (or most) get(s) the concept of a “smaller format” needed, next to our traditional 11v11 game. To help promote the game of hockey in countries/regions where it is not easy to get started with the original 11-a-side game, something easier for people at grassroots level to get involved.
But in my opinion we already have such a format with indoor hockey, which does not have to be played indoor but could just be rebranded to Hockey6 or whatever. According to me, there are a lot of advantages to promoting a slightly adapted format of this existing 6-a-side game instead of inventing a totally new format such as Hockey 5s.
So help me/us understand why a choice for Hockey 5s instead of the existing formats is a good idea?
Also I’ve read a statement by the FIH about the new Hockey 5s already being very popular? Could you back this up with data?
I am hugely excited about the game at the moment and the developments that are being put in place to grow hockey around the world.
Specifically on Hockey5s, as you’ll know it was conceived after feedback from the IOC in 2010 regarding the importance of engaging younger people and the benefits of short sided formats to do this at the Youth Olympic Games. Equally important was the emphasis on developing the game globally and not to be too Euro-centric. Out of this feedback the Hockey5s concept was launched and proved a great success at the 2014 Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China. An average of 11 goals were scored per match throughout that competition, with near full capacity for the majority of games plus competitive matches between traditionally uncompetitive nations. Outside of Europe, where you rightly point out that indoor hockey is very strong, Hockey5s has been very well received, with particular enthusiasm in Africa, Asia and Oceania, and international tournaments played in all five continents in countries who have not previously hosted international hockey tournaments, including in Papua New Guinea earlier this year.
The YOG gives us the chance to keep innovating and test this format, and we are continually assessing performance, fan engagement and looking for improvements. There are many National Associations who strongly support Hockey5s, many who support Indoor hockey (particularly in Europe), and many who have other ideas and priorities. These are all influenced by the particular factors in their countries and regions and whilst the points you make about indoor hockey are very valid, they are mainly true of European nations and less relevant in other parts of the world. As you’ll be aware, 5-a-side indoor hockey was tried a few years back, but based on feedback the game was reverted back to 6-a-side, so we are willing to listen and want to keep moving the game forward.
Our role within the FIH is to balance all feedback from our members (the Continental Federations and National Associations), as well as players and our many and varied stakeholders, to grow and develop the game throughout the world.
Well… obviously it’s easy to consider me or my opinions “Euro-centric”. And in some way probably right as well… Europe is my home. On the other hand I do think it makes sense learning from what worked here and other parts of the world to help grow the sport in “new” regions around the world. Remember which country came in 3rd at the latest indoor world cup? Iran ! Not exactly a Euro country, nor one of the usual suspects.
Future innovation should not be (or not so much anyway) in rules or new formats, but rather in other domains such as the way we bring hockey to the fans. We need (more) professional and knowledgeable commentators able to transfer the love for our game to other sports enthusiasts. Bring our game to as many screens as possible instead of geo-blocking live streams. Right holders should bring extra value to our sport, not only money. If they do this, they will have no more need for geo-blocking either. Educate fans, even those who “know” hockey, by using a lot (!!) more statistics, the way lots of American sports do.
We need to be graphically creative to solve the issues with a ball too small and a game too fast for our screens. Show the path of passes played, the reasons why players choose to run a certain direction. Show the build up and passing systems before the goal is scored. The tools to do this exist but we hardly use these.
More camera’s, more angles, more slow-mo’s and definitely more screens (TV, laptop, phone,…) to entertain the fans.
We need a calendar that has room for all components of the game : domestic as well as international hockey. The foundation of domestic hockey (wherever in the world) is essential to enjoy the international game and grow as a whole from within.
Keep the game as simple as possible… “KISS” !
Meanwhile… we would love to hear your thoughts on this!
Another very accurate and inspired analysis, Ernst! I couldn’t agree more. Thank you for sharing your vision with the entire hockey world.

This is the day on which we celebrate the feast of the Epiphany - the arrival of "three wise men from the east" at the place where Mary, Joseph, and Jesus were staying - a converted "barn" because Bethlehem was overrun by people trying to get their tax registration done, and the penalty for failing to do this was more severe than a simple fine.
This is the day, two years ago, when Penny was admitted to the hospital, acutely anemic and dehydrated, because the endometrial cancer which had stealthily returned in all the far-scattered endometrial tissue elsewhere in her abdomen, the cancer killed in 2002 had come back because the cause of it was a cascade of things that we didn't know and couldn't change. The cancer, being useless and self-destructive, had ruptured into her stomach and it would bleed fitfully every few days, and this went on for far too long, and we never understood it.
The rupture had to have happened after her liver biopsy, which was done on December 24th.
She was too weak to stand, we had a stupid, horrible time trying to get her an ambulance to take her to the hospital, on a Friday afternoon.
This was when we decided, damn the expense, she needed to be seen by doctors in the hospital and they had to actually pay attention. This was when we clung hard to the desperate hope that it was not too late, that she would have more than a scant few more months.
And two years ago on January 12th, she died from the cancer, quietly and in her sleep, and I wasn't with her because I had gone to an interview and then shopping for things she needed.
Which is where she wanted me to be, and besides, we did have that last conversation in greater depth, outside time.
I wonder if Mary or Joseph knew that Jesus would be killed, tortured to death.
Did the Magi warn them?
What did they do with the expensive gifts? The frankincense and myrrh that would be given to kings at their birth as a reminder that they would someday die, and the gifts of gold... Perhaps they paid for the trip to Egypt where they would be out of reach of Herod.
Tonight as I was getting ready for sleep I came across this news item.
Major Olmstead was a blogger, and a science fiction fan, and a man who changed and learned a lot. He was fiercely protective of his right to NOT be used as a chess-piece nor as a pawn by any political party; he simply told the truth.

Elon Musk’s contempt toward the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission – as expressed in numerous tweets and in a national TV appearance – is beyond question.
Whether the Tesla CEO violated contempt-of-court charges filed against him by the SEC is for a judge to decide.
Jail time or job loss are highly unlikely at this time, legal experts said – civil contempt remedies are aimed at compliance, not punishment. But there is little court precedent for what’s to come.
“A party may be held in civil contempt only where the plaintiff establishes the decree was clear and unambiguous, and the proof of non compliance is clear and convincing.
Jim Cramer, the hyperactive host of CNBC’s “Mad Money,” marveled that the message from the SEC was “don’t you ever poke our eye again – and he does it!” In a streaming video interview with The Street, Cramer said: “The SEC at a certain point is going to be so antagonized that they’ll call down one of the outside directors and say, ‘Listen, you’re the head’” of the company.
Experts in securities law point out that, in this case, the judge will be guided by civil, not criminal, contempt procedures. Criminal contempt usually ends in punishment. “The point of civil contempt is to ensure compliance and to deter disregarding the order,” said attorney Haveles.
A financial filing in April 2018 revealed that nearly 40 percent of Musk’s stock is pledged as collateral for hundreds of millions of dollars in personal loans from Morgan Stanley and other banks. Musk uses the money to pay for his Bel-Air mansions, his private plane and other extravagances. If the stock drops low enough – some analysts calculate the low $200s, though there’s no way to be sure – Musk would have to pay off loans or pledge new shares.
But the judge could go beyond a fine if she wanted to. She could even order him off Twitter – a devastating sentence for a mogul who has used social media to build a cult following.

Every woman that comes to Oliver-Pyatt Centers is seen as a human being first, unique in their challenges and gifts and unique in their journey to recovery. We know they come to us with their own psychological and medical histories, life circumstances, fears, goals and motivation. No matter where they are, this is where we begin.
Every aspect of our eating disorder treatment, from therapeutic goals to meal planning, family work and aftercare planning is tailored to meet the particular needs of the individual patient and her recovery.
The medical team at Oliver-Pyatt Centers is integrally involved in residential care through daily interaction with patients throughout their stay and communication with the clinical and nutrition teams. Patients are treated by a psychiatrist and a nurse practitioner, receive nursing and medical assessments and lab work when indicated. Additionally, we specialize in the psychiatric and medical management of co-occurring disorders, including mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, PTSD and addiction which affect many of the patients we treat.
Residentially licensed and Joint Commission accredited, we offer the highest level of care outside of a hospital setting.
At Oliver-Pyatt Centers, psychotherapy sessions occur with high frequency and intensity throughout each residential patient’s stay, establishing a relationship of trust, collaboration and hope between the patient and her therapist that will continue through all levels of care. This allows for full exploration of the core issues driving the eating disorder and the building of a roadmap for authentic and long-term recovery. Many treatment centers can provide the structure needed to support normalized eating during treatment, but unless the core issues are addressed the patient is at risk for reverting to the eating disordered behavior once she returns home.
We believe individual psychotherapy is a cornerstone of effective eating disorder treatment.
We are a clinically comprehensive treatment center set in warm and intimate “casas”. Our casas are beautifully and comfortably decorated and are located in safe, suburban neighborhoods. Our multidisciplinary treatment team includes recovery coaches who assist residential patients in all aspects of daily living, providing mentorship, guidance and affirmation. Our primary therapists maintain a manageable caseload that allows for extensive communication with the family and outpatient providers.
We believe this environment encourages our patients to significantly connect to every member of their treatment team and helps them do the difficult work of recovery.
We integrate residential patients into real life through guided outings in the community from the earliest appropriate stage in their recovery process. Together, we experience restaurants, grocery and clothes shopping, leisure activities and specially designed challenges. Meals are prepared by our private chefs and reintroduce a wide variety of tastes, textures and cuisines. Served in a family setting with staff support and encouragement, meals at Oliver-Pyatt Centers emphasize the sociability and warmth of eating with others.
We believe this approach helps approximate real-life living and dining experiences and is a key factor in relapse prevention.
In addition to residential treatment, we offer partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient step-down levels of care to support patients as they build on their progress and work toward increased freedom from the eating disorder. When a patient is ready to fully leave our care, we provide a detailed aftercare plan that addresses her ongoing treatment and recovery needs. We develop the plan based on a thorough assessment of the biopsychosocial environment the patient will face upon her return home, factoring in family dynamics, spirituality and individual life goals. Strategies for academic reintegration are included in the aftercare plans for our patients returning to school.
We believe a gradual progression to independence allows our patients to embody their recovery more fully.

Hello, Whenever I use the built in micrpohone on my Y560P, the mic picks up my voice from the speakers and reproduces it again via the speakers. Then the additional voice reproduction is send out to whomever is chatting with me. This makes it almost impossibe to use when attempting a voice chat via any of the email messenger services.
Cannot turn of the speakers as it then turns off the mic. Have looked at all of the sound settings and I cannot find a method to correct the problem.
OS is Win7 Home Premiun.
If anyone knows how to use the mike without the speakers reproducing the mic input , but still have the speakers reproduce what is sent to me, Iwould appreciate the info.
check Beam Forming, Acoustic Echo Cancellation and Immediate mode.
Hello, Thanks for the reply. I have been using the settings you have suggested. I also have the microphone BOOST set at zero. Have also attempted to use a headset with built in mic boom. The sound from the speakers does cut off when plugging in the headset BUT when talking there is still a reverb effect heard in the headset that mirrors my voice input???

A large censer in the form of an archaic three-legged bronze vessel, ding, carved from a single large piece of rootwood. The round body is supported on three tall legs, with two loop handles extending upwards from the flat rim. Its well-polished smooth surface is carved with rounded, dramatic holes and apertures in addition to its natural fissures and gnarls. The wood is beautifully patinated and bears subtle reddish and yellowish tones in its brown colour. The slightly domed wood cover has a tall finial in the form of a branch of lingzi fungus, made from boxwood (huang yang mu). The stand is carved from a single piece of wood, with three cavities to accommodate the feet of the censer, and is itself supported on three short splayed feet. The interior of the cover is incised with a three-character seal mark in a square, reading Yi Lan Tang (‘Hall of bestowing on orchid’).
According to the mark Yi Lan Tang (‘Hall of bestowing on orchid’), this rootwood censer might have once been in the collection of a literati couple, Mr. Wu Si Lan (1908 – 1964) and Mrs. Qian Yi Lan (1917 – c. 1990), during the early China Republic period.

Attention! Actual odds referenced are correct at time of publishing at 1:11 pm June 11, 2018 and are subject to change.
In this section, two teams are expected to dominate and it would be a huge surprise if either Spain or Portugal didn’t make it through to the round of 16. There could be some danger in the Moroccan side and neither of those two favourites will want to lose when they face each other in the opening match but the odds really underline how the bookies expect this to go.
Spain are favourites to win the group at best odds of 5/9 with 10Bet while the Portuguese come along next at a top price of 9/4 with Black Type and SportingBet. Morocco are third favourites at a best of 16/1 with William Hill and BetBright while Iran bring up the rear at 40/1 with Sport Pesa.
We don’t think there will be too many surprises in this group but there could be some value in Portugal to win the section if they can come through a tricky opening tie.
In this section we expect those two teams to progress safely through to the knockouts: Spain and Portugal look to be way ahead of the other nations in terms of quality so the key battle for us comes when those two meet in Sochi on June 15.
The scheduling is crucial here because this is the opening game of the group for Spain and Portugal and if one of those teams loses, they will be playing ‘catch up’ – most probably behind Morocco who should beat Iran on the same day.
For that reason, there could be a lot of interest in the draw between Spain and Portugal and that outcome is on offer at best odds of 63/25 with MarathonBet. The Spanish are favourites for the win at a top price of 22/23 with 188Bet while victory for Portugal is on offer at a best of 79/20 with MarathonBet.
If that match were to go with the favourites, the pressure would really mount on Portugal when they take on Morocco in Moscow on June 20 and that will then become a ‘must win’. The Portuguese are obvious favourites to take all three points in that game at a best of 4/6 with Black Type but pressure can affect any situation and much will depend on their performance against the Spanish.
Spain will also need to guard against complacency when they face the Moroccans but this section all comes down to that Spain v Portugal match at the start of the tournament.
Portugal proved at Euro 2016 that they can match any side but obviously, Cristiano Ronaldo is going to be a key player if they are going to make their mark at the global tournament. We think that CR7 is a good option to win the Golden Ball for the World Cup’s best player at a generous 16/1 with Ladbrokes and we expect him to be at his sparkling best.
Spain come to Russia with a very experienced squad, some of whom have been involved since the country came to prominence by winning Euro 2008. David Silva, Sergio Ramos, Sergio Busquets and Andres Iniesta have all passed the 100 cap mark and Gerard Pique should join them during this World Cup.
Goals need to come through the team however: Spanish sides are known for playing without a direct striker at times and the leading scorer in the squad is Silva with 35 from 121 games.
Many of the Moroccan squad play outside of their own country, including the captain Mehdi Benatia, who was with Bayern Munich before joining Juventus in 2017. Benatia is their best player and one key to success while striker Ayoub El Kaabi has an exceptional record at the start of his international career – scoring 11 goals in his first 10 matches.
Iran aren’t expected to shine at this World Cup but opposing defences will need to watch striker Sardar Azmoun, who plays his football in Russia with Rubin Kazan and has an impressive record of 23 goals from 33 internationals.
A number of groups have two clear favourites but the timing of the fixtures is key to how this section will play out. If Portugal and Spain were playing each other at the end of this phase, chances are that both would come into the match with maximum points and would be almost certain to progress to the next round.
As it is, the Spain v Portugal match kicks off Group B in a tie that neither side will want to lose. Although there is attacking flair in abundance in both camps, this should be tight defensively with neither team wanting to commit too many men forward and with that in mind, we’re tipping the draw in that match at 63/25 with MarathonBet.
Following that game, both of the two favourites should claim maximum points when they play the remaining sides – Morocco and Iran. We’ve mentioned the dangermen in both camps but against Portugal – the reigning 2016 European Champions – and Spain, who won three major trophies in a row from 2008, there is a gulf in class.
That just leaves the question of who wins the group and if all our theories are correct, it would all come down to goal difference. Spain have a number of flair players but as we saw when they won the World Cup in 2010, their success is based on defence first, with the team more likely to score on the counter attack.
Portugal have, in contrast, a greater goal scoring threat, led by Cristiano Ronaldo who has a remarkable record of 81 goals in 150 international matches. For the following tips to succeed, we need the Portuguese to avoid defeat against Spain because this is one section where there could be some decent betting value despite the fact that we have two hot favourites to progress to the knockouts.

Hats are one of those things I think you either love or hate. I like the idea of owning a hat more than actually wearing one but it’s an item that is a must for both summer and winter. Living in Dublin has made hats a permanent fixture in those cooler months and I figure if I have to wear one, it might as well look good! Given that and the years I have spent daydreaming about owning my very own cloche, the day finally arrived!
After dropping enough hints, Mr B surprised me with a Shevlin Millinery voucher for Christmas. Shevlin Millinery is not new to me. As long as I have lived in Dublin I have walked by, or even ventured in and admired the fabulous display of hats like Charlie in the chocolate factory.
I wasn’t going to take this purchase lightly which meant I annoyed every person I know by taking them into the studio and trying on every hat in the store. After making my decision, the day came when I went to Cows Lane Design Studio to meet John Shevlin in person and make this special purchase.
It was so great to meet John and talk all things hats. I have to say there is something rather special about meeting the person that has made the very thing you are buying. If you are in Dublin, I would highly recommended a visit to Cows Lane Design Studio to see his fabulous work in person. If not take a peek here to see all his fabulous hats. John has also been very kind to share some photographs of the hat making process.
Not a surprise at all to me, but when I went to purchase my hat, having thought I had decided on the style and colour, well I changed my mind. Honestly, I could have bought all of the colour combinations there but because this piece is an investment, I tried to think about my wardrobe and what colour and style would give me the most wear. In the end I decided on a wine coloured cloche with a navy blue trim and I couldn’t be happier.
I wore it straight out of the studio and to be honest I’ve never been more delighted to have hat hair! Like most of my luxury items, it’s the story behind the product that makes it luxurious and this for me is a piece I will treasure.
If anyone was looking for me this month there were only two places to find me; the pharmacy and the drugstore. I go from one extreme to another when it comes to my spending and although I often love to save my pennies for that special, more expensive item, this month I felt like lots of little goodies and so hours were spent in drugstores and pharmacies testing everything from eye shadows to, of course, lipsticks!
I thought I would show you what newbies I’m trying this month and it’s been a mixture of keepers and disappointments.
The first thing is hair care. This is one area I never really invest my money. Cheap shampoo and a hair style that requires no product is how I like things. However, a change of hair style means that my regular pick-me-up-haircut is no more. I had no choice but to look at a better way to manage my hair during this gruelling phase. After a bit of research and advice from my hairdresser, off I went and bought new shampoo and my latest obsession, dry shampoo. I usually wash my hair everyday but not any more; I am officially converted to second day hair.
The first product I bought was TRESemmé Cleansing Dry Shampoo. I don’t necessarily want volume which a lot of dry shampoos offer, just clean hair, so I had high hopes for this product and it didn’t disappoint. It does exactly what it says on the tin. I have dark brown hair so thankfully, it leaves no white residue and has a slight fragrance, but nothing that lingers. I am really impressed with this product and will be upgrading to a larger size on my next purchase.
Sticking with dry shampoo and one you have probably heard of is COLAB’s Dry Shampoo thanks to Ruth Crilly (aka A model recommends). I am a huge fan of Ruth’s and couldn’t wait to try this product. I got my hands on the New York fragrance and bought the smaller size which is perfect for your bag if you need to take it out with you. This is another great product and comes a very close second behind the TRESemmé dry shampoo. I feel I actually get a better clean with the TRESemmé product and although the New York fragrance is nice, it’s a bit too much for me. It has to be said though, I am being super picky here and would have both going at the same time.
One of my favourites out of the bunch is TanOrganic Self Tanning Oil. There is such a great story behind TanOrganic and it’s well worth your time reading about Noelle O’ Conner. I am by no means into fake tans but I have tried my hand at gradual tans over the years and discarded all of them. Silly when you think about it as I’m from Australia with Italian blood, so yes I have an olive complexion but it’s important to be sun-smart (I use an SPF everyday) and honestly, I like how I feel when I am tanned all over. I can’t speak highly enough of this product. Besides the obvious positive of the natural ingredients, it ticks all the boxes. No smell, easy to use, no transfer of colour and it’s moisturising. The best way I can sum this up is that when I use it (and I would only need to use it once or twice a week), it feels like my own skin, just better. TanOrganic Self Tanning Oil is everything I have wanted in a tanning product and will be a permanent fixture in my bathroom. For all my Aussie pals, you don’t miss out and can find all the details for TanOrganic in Oz here.
I’ve more to show you but this has turned into a mammoth post so stay tuned for Part II. At the rate I’m going, there could even be a part III!
This week’s #OOTW is an oldie but definitely a goodie.
Before I make the big reveal, a bit of history about this dress. This dress was given to me by my fabulous sister Mrs P. Why she gave it up I have no idea but I bet she is sorry now! My sis is all kinds of fabulous and my shopping partner. Hard to do when we live on opposite sides of the world, but we manage. We have very similar taste, often picking up the same clothes and at times even buying them! Living on opposite sides of the world means there is no chance of wearing them at the same time, the only benefit to our distance. Another reason I like shopping with Mrs P is because she’s honest and it’s her honesty that has helped me be confident in the choices I make, and laugh at the bad ones I’ve made!
When I look at photos of our childhood it is clear why we have such similar taste. We were often dressed in identical clothes or the same clothes but different colours and like any little sis, I remember always wanting what she had. I adored my big sis (often to her annoyance) and that hasn’t changed one bit! I love her ‘hand me downs’ and on my visits home I will often park myself in front of her wardrobe and ask ‘what have you got to give me?’ She always replies ‘nothing’ but like the great big sis that she is, I always walk away with a new wardrobe.
I tell you all this because the dress that is this week’s #OOTW was originally owned by Mrs P. You may have seen it before (Blue and green should be seen) and I’ll be honest I wear this dress a lot! I love everything about it. Blue and white polka dots, loose enough to be a great summer dress and just the right amount of detailing to make it feminine. It’s a perfect length for me, and the neck line and sleeves even out the bit of leg that is shown. I know summer means showing skin but this dress keeps it all very tasteful.
This dress doesn’t get put away when the sun takes a break. It gets a good run all year round and is starting to show its age but I don’t care. Tights, cardigans, bare legs, flats, boots or brogues, you can understand why it’s on repeat.
The fact that this dress was inexpensive and given to me by my big sis is even more reason for me to love it.
Since the recent additions to my wardrobe (see ‘My kind of luxury‘) I’ve had nothing but luxury on the brian. Makeup and more recently skincare falls into that catergory and to tell you the truth I didn’t always see it that way.
The world of skincare can at times be daunting. There are so many products out there which are cleverly marketed and let’s be honest if we acknowledged every little imperfection, fine line, age spot and problems we didn’t even know existed, we would never leave the house! When my skin is not looking the best that is exactly how I feel!
My lovely friend Laura fuelled my interest in makeup. She is one foxy lady and knows her stuff so when I was looking for new products or trusted favourites I would turn to her and to be honest, it’s hard to shut us up! Laura also introduced me to a world (a very big world) of professional make up artists, tutorials and beauty bloggers. People with the expertise and knowledge, people that try, test, demonstrate, review and above all share! I couldn’t believe it.
I’m the type of person who needs to use my senses when I shop and this can be difficult with skin care. Hence the importance of relying on friends who will give honest answers about products they are using and better still it allows you to see these products in action. With that in mind I am in complete heaven with the amount of professional folks out there doing all the hard work for me. There are so many to pick from (and some that I probably haven’t watched yet) but for me Lisa Eldridge, Ruth Crilly and Caroline Hirons have changed my whole attitude to skincare. I am now better informed, better educated on how to address issues with my skin and better stilll I understand which products do what. With all my watching, listening and learning, I have found products that are doing wonders for my skin and I am now not only confident to invest in skincare products but also more than happy to invest the time to take care of my skin.
You will never really know until you try and what works for one may not be great for another but with the abundance of knowledge and information out there I can now say that when that dorky headband goes on to push the hair off my face and I begin what can only be described as a ritual, I relish nothing more than the luxurious feel of my smooth, fresh, clean skin.

MSPnet Blog: "Argument and arguments"
Current education policies interfere with establishing…conditions for successful STEM learning. First, because assessments are inextricably linked to high-stakes consequences, teachers and students are apt to think about tests as the goal of learning — and fear them — rather than embrace opportunities to demonstrate progress and learn from error. Second, performance pay linked to students’ testing success fosters competition among teachers for rewards rather than collaboration to collectively meet students’ needs. Third, supporters of current education policies violate the basic framework for scientific argumentation, setting a bad example. They have failed to take seriously the evidentiary challenges to their policies while refusing to consider that they may be mistaken and change course. It is time to back away from high stakes testing induced fear and competition and instead embrace learning from failure and collaboration.
Do I agree with these points? Well, mostly. David Cohen and Deborah Ball long ago wrote about the “pedagogy of policy” and Philip Jackson and Benson Snyder about the “hidden curriculum” embodied in the structure, and even the architecture, of schooling. There is every likelihood that the shape of policy, and the way that policy is shaped, convey messages about what education is which, when made explicit, would be unappealing and even alarming.
The argumentation which is central to rigorous inquiry is part of the safety valve of science — the gradual self-correction and “learning from mistakes” which means that most of the time, we approximate the way things work more and more closely. At the level of the learner at work on the challenges of the day, this can look like learning from our mistakes, which represent a precious, and ever-flowing resource.
So argumentation of this kind is perhaps the best tool we can offer the next generation, who tend to start by learning to address their little mistakes in classroom or home, but soon enough start to critique our big ones— before they see the fresh material they’ve created themselves, as the experiment of life goes on.
Brian, your posting made me smile--and think. I taught rhetoric and writing for 10 years at the University of Maryland before transitioning into STEM policy and practice. You have highlighted one of the reasons that my transition was more natural than it would otherwise appear. The essentials of argument are defined and detailed in the study of rhetoric--identifying a claim (or hypothesis); assembling evidence, and organizing the evidence in the most compelling way for a particular purpose and audience. "Purpose and Audience" are the two critical lenses for good argument. As we think about what we are teaching about science, science inquiry, and argument it makes a great deal of sense to think carefully about our purposes and our audiences.
I'd love to hear what others think about our primary purposes for teaching science, and our primary audiences. What should our purposes/audiences be beyond the classroom? The other critical element of rhetorical analysis is the credibility of the speaker: who do we have "arguing" toward what purpose to what audience?
What should our purposes/audiences be beyond the classroom?
Nancy, there's so much in your post!
the question I've excerpted as the subject line of this reply seems really important how do we take seriously, for example, the need to help parents and policy people understand the research on learning and teaching that we see is foundational -- how to convey why we find them compelling?
And of course there's the old scary dragon: What is the purpose of education anyway? The beautiful graphic thing you linked seems helpful in revisiting that conversation.

A pair of speculative developers, a philanthropist and one of Hollywood's biggest tickets were among those closing deals in L.A. County's high-end real estate market in late October and early November.
After selling a $100-million spec house to Tom Gores, developers Gala Asher and Ed Berman may have found their next project. Through a limited liability company, the pair bought a French chateau-inspired home in the 2000 block of Wallingford Drive for $2.9 million less than the asking price.
Sitting on more than five acres, the estate centers on a 22,163-square-foot home with seven bedrooms and 15 bathrooms. Among amenities of note is a 1,500-bottle wine cellar, a climate-controlled tasting room, a sauna and a home theater.
A second-floor terrace overlooks the swimming pool and spa.
Mauricio Umansky of the Agency was the listing agent. Ginger Glass of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage represented the buyers.
A newly remodeled home by architect Doug Burdge sold in the 33000 block of Pacific Coast Highway for $2.2 million less than the asking price of $22 million.
The wood-paneled residence, designed for indoor-outdoor living, features sliding pocket doors, a chef's kitchen and 125 feet of beachfront. A second-floor master suite has a fireplace and an egg-shaped soaking tub.
Also within the grounds is a three-bedroom guesthouse with a media room and a kitchenette. Views take in the ocean and coastline.
Christopher Cortazzo of Coldwell Banker represented both sides of the deal.
In the 10000 block of Levico Way, an arm of Chinese entertainment company Huayi Brothers bought an eight-plus-acre property in a gated community.
Found within a guard-gated community of just four homes, the undeveloped property includes a flat portion of more than two acres. Views from the site take in downtown L.A., Century City and Stone Canyon Reservoir.
The property relisted in January for $19.95 million and was more recently listed at $17.95 million, records show.
Stephen Shapiro of Westside Estate Agency had the listing. Michael Chen of T.N.G. Real Estate Consultant represented the buyer.
Noel Irwin Hentschel, co-founder of inbound travel company AmericanTours International, and her husband, Gordon Hentschel, sold a French Normandy-inspired home to a limited liability company with ties to philanthropist Yvonne Niami.
Sitting on nearly an acre in the 300 block of Copa de Oro Road, the estate is fronted by one of two large motor courts.
Inside, the 10,300 square feet of living space features scaled formal rooms, a wood-paneled library and a gym. The master suite has his and hers bathrooms and dressing rooms, for a total of eight bedrooms and 9.5 bathrooms.
Joe Babajian of Rodeo Realty and Linda May of Hilton & Hyland were the listing agents. Drew Fenton, also of Hilton & Hyland, represented the buyer.
Actor Tobey Maguire of "Spider-Man" film fame paid $30,000 shy of the asking price for a newly built home on North Cliffwood Avenue.
Built in a modern farmhouse style, the residence has oak and polished concrete floors, custom woodwork and marble baths. An elevator runs between each of the home's two floors as well as a basement level with a media room, a gym and a wet bar.
Six bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms include a master suite with a fireplace and two walk-in closets.
Outdoors, there's an infinity-edge swimming pool, various patios and a built-in barbecue.
David Offer of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties was the listing agent. Judy Feder of Hilton & Hyland represented the buyer.

What really grabs a Nat Geo editor's attention? Our Travel Writing Scholarship Judge, Norie Quintos shares her experience at Nat Geo Travel and her tips on how to get noticed.
What came first, your love for travel or your love for writing?
My first trip was a transatlantic flight from New York to Manila when I was six months old on the iconic Pan Am. By the age of two-and-a-half, I’d made that trip three times. It was the start of a love affair with cultures, languages, and travel. The writing came a little later, in first grade.
How did you get started in the travel writing industry?
In college, I was an African Studies major and was editor of the yearbook. My original grand plan was to work as a diplomat in the State Department or the United Nations.
My first job was as a newsletter editor of a trade publication in Washington, D.C., focused on development and aid.
After that, I covered travel as a reporter and editor at the weekly newsmagazine U.S. News and World Report, which led to an editor job at National Geographic Traveler magazine.
You’re currently a Travel Content Consultant and Editor-at-Large at Nat Geo Travel Media. What’s the best part about your job?
I have had a front-row seat to the cataclysmic changes wrought by digital technology. It’s been quite the roller coaster and I’m lucky to have been able to adapt and reinvent myself for a new journalistic landscape.
The old curated gateways of content have given way to everyone doing content, but the differentiator remains quality and editorial rigor.
I bring that experience and expertise to my role as a travel communicator, working with clients to help surface stories, and tell stories better. And my role as an editor-at-large means I still get to contribute stories and ideas to a trusted and iconic brand I have been associated with for a many years.
Find out more about our Travel Writing Scholarship opportunities!
Was there an assignment in your career that was particularly memorable? Either the assignment/story itself, or a trip that taught you something about the craft?
I was on assignment to write the cover story for Nat Geo Traveler about Banff, Alberta. My reporting time was short and I had a long list of things to do and see, and people to talk to.
When I got down to writing, I kept thinking how great it would have been to see the bear. I kept struggling with the piece until it dawned on me that not finding was the central metaphor for the story. It actually made for a better story.
The lesson: In life and in writing, don’t try to force it; let the story unfold.
How has travel writing enabled you to connect with locals and their cultures on your travels?
It gives me a reason to enter worlds and cultures different from mine and to ask a lot of probing questions.
And writing is really an exercise in clarifying the thinking process, so it also forces me to dig deeper and think – not just accept the standard explanations for why things are.
At the superficial end, I’ve been able to try a lot of different foods (most of them tasty, by the way) and at the other end I’ve made some lifelong friends in the remotest corners of the world.
What types of stories interest you the most?
When it comes to stories I read, I’m a generalist; I read all sorts of stories, the travel category is just one of them, and it’s not even the biggest.
I love memoirs and historical nonfiction. Two of my favorite reads are Eric Larson’s In the Garden of Beasts, and Candice Millard’s Destiny of the Republic, both true tales that read like fiction.
As for what I like to write, I’m fascinated by stories of journeys of transformation, where metamorphosis is the subtext of a travel yarn.
What trends do you see developing in travel writing?
The trends have to do with how content is being distributed and how busy people are digesting it.
Shorter, fast-paced, and voiced with attitude. If that’s not the way you write, please don’t force it.
I also see a counter trend of solidly-reported, authoritatively voiced long-form reads.
How can an aspiring travel writers take advantage of these trends?
I say forget the trends—except the one that says every writer needs to be their own marketer—and follow your passions.
However, to make a living, it may be necessary to write for a variety of outlets in a variety of voices.
What’s your advice for travel writers who want to get noticed by publishers?
Unfortunately, toiling in the attic and waiting to be discovered never worked for anyone.
Writers have to market themselves, which often goes against the grain for certain creatives, so it takes special effort.
An online presence is a must. Have a good website and a relevant social media feed. Attend travel conferences both for idea-generation and networking opportunities.
Pitch liberally and write prolifically (but maintain quality).
What are some common mistakes you see aspiring travel writers make?
The biggest mistake I see inexperienced writers make is to organize their piece chronologically and linearly. It’s boring. Break it up. Surprise not just with words but with structure.
Another common mistake: using too many adjectives. Don’t say the view is “beautiful.” Describe its beauty.
You’re now a judge for our Travel Writing Scholarship. What separates good travel writing from great travel writing? What makes a story sing for you?
I’ll be looking for great yarns that go beyond the place into the realm of the universal. In other words, tell me a story that's not just about you in one spot, but all of us, everywhere.
Helen hones her writing skills as she travels through Albania and Montenegro as a winner of the 2017 Travel Writing Scholarship.
Norie Quintos, editor-at-large at Nat Geo Travel and one of our 2018 Travel Writing Scholarship judges gives us a glimpse at what she looks for when editing a piece.
Rejection is never easy. Charukesi Ramadurai shares some tips from her sometimes painful, and always practical, experience.
Thanks for a very practical & straighforward tips on how to develop one’s passion in travel writing.
You make us proud !Norie! I am also from the Philippines and knowing that great writers go beyond their boundaries inspire me to write down my thoughts. I don’t have any professional writing background but I always wanted to share my travel experiences . I hope I can join the league of aspiring travel writers.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.—The barricades are down, the motorcade is gone, the traffic gridlock is over and Air Force One has roared off into the sunset.
President Bush rolled in and out of here Thursday as part of his administration's 60-events-in-60-days Social Security tour, hoping to sell his vision of a transformed national retirement system to a skeptical Kentucky public.
He spoke for less than an hour to a mostly friendly crowd of 2,000 in a performing-arts center, touting his idea of allowing citizens to divert part of their Social Security taxes into new private investment accounts.
Bush is banking heavily on town-hall meetings like this to rescue his top second-term domestic priority. Polls show the public at large is increasingly skeptical of his proposal, but what about people in Louisville after Bush made his spiel in person? The answer appears mixed.
Some people, such as Travis Berkley, said they hadn't focused on Social Security until Bush's visit.
"Social Security isn't an everyday topic at work. We pretend it doesn't even exist," said Berkley, a 23-year-old bank credit manager.
But after sitting in the second row at the town hall and shaking Bush's hand afterward, Berkeley said the event was an eye-opener that made him think.
"He presented one possibility and said other people have brought stuff to the table. I want to hear more," he said. "I want to see it all on paper."
Bush supporters used his visit to educate the uninitiated and rev up interest among the Republican base. The local Republican Party held a public meeting the night before that attracted press attention.
The Spalding Group, a firm that makes campaign materials exclusively for Republicans, took out a full-page ad in The Louisville Courier-Journal the day of Bush's visit. It offered free yard signs and bumper stickers that read "Act Now, Strengthen Social Security, Support President Bush!" to anyone wanting one.
Not to be outdone, Louisville's Democratic Party held its own public Social Security meeting Wednesday night to stoke their base against Bush's plan.
And AARP, the influential lobby for Americans 50 and older, took out a full-page ad in Thursday's Courier-Journal with a mock-up of a Social Security card that read "IF YOU have a problem with the sink, YOU DON'T tear down the entire house." AARP opposes Bush's plan.
On Thursday, local TV stations broke into their regular programming to carry Bush's event live.
On Friday, the Courier-Journal featured several stories on the event, focusing on Bush's message, the local people involved and protests outside.
But for all the attention, few if any Louisville media outlets pointed out that Bush's call for private accounts would do nothing to bring Social Security closer to fiscal solvency.
"Local media tends to be relatively non-critical and simply covers the White House message because they are dazzled by a White House visit," said Larry Sabato, a University of Virginia political scientist who analyzes the media. "It's like having the White House press release handed to all the readers and viewers, with the added credibility of an independent news organization."
The Courier-Journal did publish an article Friday that fact-checked some of Bush's remarks. It noted that the White House couldn't provide calculations to back up the president's claim that a worker who makes $35,000 over a lifetime and puts 4 percent of his or her Social Security payroll tax into a private investment account would receive $250,000 under his plan.
But most coverage was sympathetic. WHAS-TV, Louisville's ABC affiliate, referred viewers Thursday to the station's Web site, where viewers could click one link to the White House Web site's Social Security page, which echoes Bush's live message. Another link goes to a 1998 study by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank that supports Bush's plan.
Robb Jarrell, a career counselor at a Louisville high school, said he watched Bush's event on television with his students and was unconvinced by Bush's argument for private accounts.
"I wasn't impressed. It was really just a pep rally," said Jarrell, 48. "I personally don't like him or trust him."
But Jarrell said he believes Bush probably swayed other Kentuckians because "he does a good job in convincing people and he's personable."
Jon Carlson, a 40-year-old health care worker, watched the meeting and already favored private accounts. He wondered how many Kentuckians were paying attention to Bush, since the University of Louisville Cardinals and the University of Kentucky Wildcats were playing in televised basketball tournaments.
"President Bush picked a bad time. Basketball is No. 1 now," Carlson said.
Though Carlson says he's "100 percent behind" personal accounts, he would have liked to hear Bush talk more about a willingness to compromise.
"Otherwise, it ain't going to get done," he said.
The Bluegrass Poll cited above was taken of 801 randomly selected Kentuckians from February 3-9. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

I long ago stopped recognizing American holidays and the traditions that go with them, because no one was forcing me to and I honestly don’t enjoy them. Instead I have created my own traditions, based on the things that I value and enjoy.
I think that’s a really healthy way to look at it; I think people put themselves under too much pressure to CHANGE FOR THE BETTER AND CHANGE NOW! And they end up failing because they start with unrealistic ideas.
So, change is good, but we should do it for ourselves, not because of the time of year, and recognise that these things take time.

Getting a new apartment can be very tiring because maybe you need to move your old furniture or buy the new one and redecorate them into your new rooms. But, redecorating your apartment can be very fun because you can realize your dream in making the most comfortable living for you. In decorating your apartment, it is important to consider whether you want a modern style or a classic style. Both style can be very classy and show up the personality of the people live in. To do with this, you also need to consider your financial capacity related to what kind of furniture and artificial things you need to buy.
If you determine to use the classic style, Bohemian apartment décor is one of the classic decorating styles that you can choose for your apartment. It is very ethnical and classy. Although it is a classic decorating style, bohemian apartment décor can also be very unique and modern. As an adaptation of gypsy people’s living, Bohemian apartment décor brings up your creativity, freedom, wildness and spirit. It can fully express your own style. It also brings modern spiritual style into your life.
To implement the Bohemian apartment décor, you need to consider some aspects. The first aspect is color. In using Bohemian décor, color combination is important in order to express the free spirit into the room. Bohemian style is usually full color and artificial. However, be easy with the color combination. It will irritate your eyes to see over-full color combination in one room.
The second aspect in implementing Bohemian apartment décor is the furniture. Because Boho-style is very ethnical, the art touching in the furniture will be very helpful. The use of unique and unusual furniture made from wood or iron will strengthen the classic feeling of the decoration. The use of mirror and sculpture will also bring the wildness of Bohemian style into the apartment. Never doubt to involve butterfly chairs, iron beds, unusual frames, unique lamps and curtain.
The third aspect of Bohemian apartment décor is the additional things such as indoor hammock, art glass, candle holders, wall arts, handmade pillows, and etc. Indoor hammock can give you a comfortable rest in or out your house. It will also be comfortable to be applied in your library, so you can bring the fresh and relax feeling in your reading activity.
Besides the aspects above, the other important part of Bohemian apartment décor is Bohemian pattern. Pattern combination in the Bohemian style is as important as color combination. People will easily notice the absence of Bohemian style in your apartment simply by looking at the pattern of your rugs or curtain. That is why; the choosing of pattern will determine the success of your effort to bring Bohemian décor in your apartment. The Moroccon pattern can be adapted into your curtain, pillow, bedcover, and wall art.
Because of the freedom and creativity brought in, Bohemian apartment décor will always have informal style in it. You can have a full or semi informal style into your rooms. It will be very fun and stimulate your art sense while decorating your own apartment using this style.

In the wake of Chicago’s decision to drop all charges against Jussie Smollett for filing a false police report, people with connections to the Obamas are coming under increased scrutiny. It was found that Tina Tchen, Michelle Obama’s former aide, and Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx made an effort to help Jussie Smollett while the public thought it was still a real hate crime and not a hoax.
Because Foxx pushed to have Smollett’s case removed from Chicago and elevated to the FBI, she later recused herself before Smollett was arrested because she was too close to the case. Tina Tchen, upon urgings by the Smollett family, asked Foxx to help the actor’s case.
Now the Chicago Police Union is calling Foxx’s conduct during the investigation “highly suspicious.” They have also called the federal government to investigate her conduct on the case.
Investigators have text message exchanges between Foxx, Tchen, and a relative of the shamed actor.
Although the Smollett relative has not been named, it has been shown that his sisters see to have close ties with the former aide, Tchen.
Tchen and Smollett’s sister, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, were captured in a photograph attending an event at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas.
It has also been noted that both of Smollett’s sisters worked for the Obama campaign in 2008 and 2012. Smollett-Bell also held meetings with Tchen while she was working with the Obamas in the White House.
Smollett himself also has a photograph with the Obamas. He also once danced on stage with Michelle Obama, in a video that had gone viral from an event last year. However, this was all before Smollett created a hoax to stage a hate crime committed against himself.
As the facts come out, it appears that the Smollett family first contacted Tchen and asked her to help them with the case. Tchen then texted State’s Attorney Foxx asking her to get the case elevated to the FBI. Foxx tried to comply with the former White House aide’s wishes, and contacted Superintendent Eddie T. Johnson and ask him to let the FBI take on the case. But Superintendent Johnson refused to let that happened.
Foxx then reported back to Tchen that she had tried to do it. At the time Smollett was still considered a victim of a hate crime. However, Tchen told Foxx that the family had “concerns” over how the case was being handled, so Foxx, assuming that Smollett was a victim, said she would try to “convince” Johnson to hand the case over to the FBI so the federal government’s resources could be used instead.
In the wake of Smollett having all the charges dropped against him, many people in Chicago, including the mayor and law enforcement officers, are outraged. They believe Smollett should not have gotten off “scot-free.” They want Smollett to be prosecuted for the crimes he seems to have committed.
What do you think about all these connections in the Smollett case? Are you interested to know more about what is really going on?

NDIS & THC > What is the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) was launched in Sydney’s North Shore region in July 2016 and is a new way of funding people with a disability. People with a permanent disability are allocated funds to cover the ‘necessary and reasonable’ supports they need to live their lives.
This means that YOU decide who, when, how and what your support looks like.
As a registered NDIS provider, The Housing Connection is excited about the choice and control the NDIS offers. Our approach has always been to start with the goals and dreams of each individual we support and to do everything we can to ‘make it happen’.
See our Handy Links section for links and more information.
If you are eligible for the NDIS, you will receive funding on an annual basis to buy the services, supports and equipment that are included in your NDIS Plan.
You can choose any service provider to deliver those supports.
support to participate in the community, to achieve your goals and to improve daily living skills.

A Tasmanian man who illegally put Aboriginal relics up for sale on Gumtree acted "recklessly", a judge has said, noting the state's disgraceful past attitude towards indigenous people.
Jake Raymond Cleaver, 37, was on Thursday slapped with an $850 fine for trying to sell more than 30 stone artefacts online in July last year.
Cleaver pleaded guilty to three charges over the sale of the relics, obtained from his now-deceased grandfather some years ago.
The ad was seen by a member of the state's Aboriginal community, who tipped off authorities.
A Department of Primary Industries, Parks Water and Environment officer posed as a buyer and offered $300 to $400 for the stones over several online conversations.
Cleaver, who the court heard doesn't identify as Aboriginal, was told the sale was probably not "entirely legal" but proceeded anyway.
The officer found the relics laid out on a coffee table at Cleaver's house.
It is against the law in Tasmania to have indigenous relics and not inform proper authorities.
In delivering his sentence, Magistrate Reg Marron said the state historically had a "disgraceful" attitude toward Aboriginal people and every little bit of remaining indigenous history should be safeguarded.
Mr Marron said Cleaver acted recklessly, but acknowledged his remorse and the fact the stones had been recovered.
"(You were) aware of what you had and failed to follow up on information that there may be an issue in ... selling the items," Mr Marron said in Hobart Magistrates Court.
Cleaver had conceded he could have made further inquiries about whether the items could be sold, his lawyer said.
The majority of the stones have been confirmed as authentic relics.
Cleaver's lawyer said her client meant "no disrespect" to the Aboriginal community and was grateful the relics would now be returned to their rightful owners.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP/WIBW) — Kansas legislators approved Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly's plan for increasing public school funding in hopes of satisfying a court mandate.
"The Kansas Legislature took an important step today towards addressing the needs of our students, supporting our teachers and fully funding our schools," Kelly said in a written statement. "I’m proud this reasonable, commonsense plan was embraced with bipartisan support today. Kansans want their leaders to work together to move our state forward."
The bill ties Kelly's proposal to increase spending on public schools by roughly $90 million to several education policy changes favored by GOP lawmakers, including a requirement for a new one-page online performance report on each public school.
John Robb, an attorney representing the schools, says the bill still is not adequate.
"The math just doesn't do it," he told the Associated Press.
The court gave the state’s attorneys until April 15 to file a written report on lawmakers’ response.
But Ward, other Democrats and Republicans who support the bill see passing Kelly’s proposal as preferable, given an implied threat with each Supreme Court ruling that it could shut down schools if it finds that funding remains insufficient under the state constitution. Legislators are scheduled to start their annual spring break Saturday and return May 1 to wrap up business for the year. Oral arguments in the case are set for May 9.
Some Republicans, particularly conservatives, question whether the state will be able to sustain Kelly’s proposed new spending without a future tax increase. GOP leaders also pushed a tax relief bill designed to prevent individuals and businesses from paying more in state income taxes because of changes in federal tax laws at the end of 2017, which the governor vetoed.
"We will have to raise taxes. We will not be able to lower food sales tax. We will have to keep the bank of KDOT open. We will not be able to make our KPERS payments,” said Rep. Ron Ryckman, R-House Speaker.
But most Senate Republicans lined up behind Kelly’s plan last month after the school districts suing the state initially supported it, then withdrew their endorsement and called for higher spending after the 2019-2020 school year. House GOP leaders wanted to earmark much of the new money to programs for at-risk students but relented Wednesday when it became clear senators would not budge in negotiations.
“I think it’s the best we can do right now,” said Rep. Jim Karleskint, a moderate Kansas City-area Republican and former school superintendent.
