Video Sharing is a type of web service that allows anyone to upload videos and share them with the world. When a video is uploaded, a Video Sharing service stores the video clip on its web servers. The service will then show the uploader a URL with which to share the video with others. Often an embed code is provided to allow the uploader the option of displaying the video directly onto his or her webpage, blog, or social networking profile.
Video Sharing is becoming more and more popular due to the fact that many people do not have a web hosting provider that offers enough bandwidth or storage space. Since the average video size is somewhere between 10 and 15 megabytes, most users cannot afford a hosting plan that can deal with thousands of video views per day. Dedicated servers that can handle high traffic videos can cost several hundreds of dollars per month and require expert knowledge to setup and maintain. Video Sharing popularity has also risen due to the fact that the number of user-generated videos has increased greatly due to the wide use of cellphones with video capability. Previous methods of sharing videos, such as DVD burning, are not practical and can be quite time consuming. Broadband ISPs, such as DSL and Cable, offer internet connections fast enough to upload or view videos taken with cellphones.
Users sign-up for an account and upload files to a Video Sharing service for a variety of reasons. As mentioned previously, the primary reason is to save on web hosting bandwidth fees. Since most Video Sharing is completely free, bandwidth costs are reduced to zero. Secondly, users want to create a common place for their videos. By sharing the URL to their Video Sharing profile, users can share all of their videos at one convenient location. Lastly, Video Sharing is used because it easy to use and does not have a steep learning curve. No previous programming experience is required since a web browser, such as Chrome or Firefox, is used to access the videos.
Video Sharing features depend on the company providing the service. The most common Video Sharing features include: account creation to manage video uploads, a comment system to communicate with other users, playlists to select multiple videos from several accounts, customizable member profile pages, keyword tagging, video editing tools, and live streaming capabilities.
Video Sharing limitations also vary depending on which service is used. The limitations that are commonly enforced include: video length, bandwidth used per video, total storage space taken up, video resolution, and video formats allowed. Most services allow for unlimited bandwidth and storage space, but limit an individual video's length to 15 minutes and the file size to 100 megabytes. The most common video formats are MPEG-4 (.mp4), Audio Video Interleave (.avi), Apple Quicktime (.mov), 3GPP (.3gp), and Flash Video (.flv). Other less common formats are Matroska Multimedia Container (.mpv), WebM (.webm), and Ogg (.ogg).
As of late, Video Sharing has focused on smart phones and tablets, where videos are easily searched for and quickly downloaded and watched. Most of the popular Video Sharing companies have added mobile versions of their websites. Mobile versions offer fewer features so the site loads faster and may also offer less videos due to compatability issues. Mobile apps are available that allow users to upload videos directly from their cellphones.

Holographed note by the legendary piano virtuoso and pedagogue on his imprinted visiting card, Ferté Alais, Seine et Oise, June 4, 1876.
The thirty seven year old pianist writes a note of encouragement for a sick friend and his hope for their improvement from a “grande malade”.
Planté (1839-1934) transcended the 19th Century and into the 20th Century. He was one of the earliest born musicians to record and also lived long enough to have a film made of him at the keyboard. As he saw Frederic Chopin perform in concert and he was one of the great interpreters of his works, it is thought that his performances of his music was authentic. The pianist is considered by the cognoscenti to be the single greatest French born pianist of the 19th Century. Planté played duets with Liszt, who was a close friend and also was friendly with the greats operating in Paris in the mid 19th Century including Berlioz, Gounod, Mendelssohn and Rossini.
Very unusual to see Planté material this early.

Can first loves ever reconcile? The answer is, of course, a resounding yes. Not only does it happen, but it happens more often than you might think. But you already knew that didn’t you?
The real question then, is whether fate and time will dilute the bond that you once had, and permanently close the door on reconciliation. Will the intensity and passion of a first love endure through time?
Do first loves forever stand-out?
Almost everyone knows (directly or indirectly) a story involving first loves getting back together. Usually, one needn’t look beyond the extended family to find a heart-warming (or heart-breaking) story of long-lost reconciliation.
There’s something about a first love that we are never quite able to shake off entirely, leading to the occasional bout of introspective flirting with the past. But what makes first love so special?
There are many stereotypes regarding first loves. From the notion that they tend to be the measure and standard of our future romantic choices, to the idea that they were the person we fell in love with purely and ideologically — without thought for the morrow. The problem with these stereotypes is that they certainly aren’t true for everyone.
According to an article on the difficulty on moving on from a first love by Amelia Hill on the Guardian, what tends to distinguish first loves from “the others” is that they tend to be highly passionate yet distinctly unstable. And time, as we all know, can erase the memory of instability and lead us craving for a dose of that bubbling romance instead.
The over-arching point I wish to make is that yes, first loves will forever remain special, but the strings that tie together the fondness of our memories are both unrealistic and (should reconciliation be attempted) often ultimately destructive.
Not every first love is identical. And there’s every chance you wholeheartedly disagree with me. Perhaps that old flame could be rekindled successfully. You were young and naive, and are now wiser and able to more realistically juggle all aspects of a relationship.
Hereby hangs our problem. That first love now needs to transition into an adult relationship in order to endure. However, in doing so, do we not risk shedding precisely what made it so special way-back-when?
Added to which, our first love must also feel the same way we do, and be willing to risk taking a leap of faith — to surf a wave that already capsized the relationship boat once before. No mean feat!
I’m aware how dreary and stale my reasoning must sound, however, statistics dictate not all is lost (at least superficially).
The sheer number of people who end up reconciling many years later their high-school sweethearts remains staggering (reconciliation occurs most commonly occurs between the ages of 50 and 60!).
At the very least then, we can be optimistic about giving it another shot someday. My subjective take however is that the vast majority of attempted reconciliations are doomed to fail. But, as they say, to each their own. And if it does work out — as it occasionally will — you might just have found your own cross-section of enduring peace.

BOOK REMINDER: Bjorn Dihle's "Never Cry Halibut"
It's bear season so I'm once again packing a gun everywhere I go and seeing bears behind every tree--thankfully, so far they always turn out to be figments of my imagination. Sort of like the bear mentioned in the "Grizzly Country" section of Bjorn Dihle's book, NEVER CRY HALIBUT.
Brown bears bring out no shortage of strangeness in people. For the last six years, I've guided folks and a few film crews who wanted to look at or film brown bears....[One] summer I was offered the chance to become a Hollywood star.
"Hi, sport," a reality television producer said over the phone. "Are you interested in being part of a team that tries to track down the biggest brown bear in the world? Some say it's not even a bear! They say it's, like, fourteen feet tall!"
"Where's this 'bear' supposed to live?" I asked, beginning to shake with excitement. Maybe a brown bear had successfully mated with a tiger, creating a "tigear" or "beager," and I was about to be offered a ticket to the Kamchatka Peninsula.
"On the island of Angoon," the producer said.
"You mean the village of Angoon on Admiralty Island?" I said.
"What? Yeah. The village of Angoon," he said.
"Who gave you this exciting information?" I asked.
My life dream is to be cast as the villain in a James Bond movie, but I was tired of all the nonsense being perpetuated about bears. It's like when Allen Hasselborg, the bear man of Admiralty Island, said about so many people's apparent need to dress up bear stories--the truth is plenty interesting already. Still, a small part of me died when I declined to be on the show.
In the book, Bjorn tells stories not just of his close encounters with bears, some of them frightening enough for me to sleep with a light on all night after reading them, but he also describes some of the strange people he's met deep in bear country. Before I read his book I was, it turns out, considerably naive about the varied reactions people can have to meeting their first brown bear.
One of the funniest parts of the entire book is where Bjorn details his interactions with various TV producers and clients he guides into the wilderness. If you want to know what not to do in the wilderness, this section is a great primer.

It's funny now, but as a kid I didn't think anything of it that my dad's best friend, when he was logging on SE Alaska's vast Prince of Wales Island in the Seventies and Eighties, was called Pitch. All of my dad's stories, when he crossed the strait to be with us out in the wilderness on the weekends, featured things Pitch had said and done that week. Pitch was a giant in my mind.
He was the shovel operator to my dad's scaler/bucker and we kids heard with awe the stories of Pitch picking up tiny coins with his giant grappling tongs. My dad would shake his head in wonder, not only at how smoothly and fluidly Pitch operated the shovel, but also at how it was even possible that he could see the coin to be able to pick it up from his seat back there in the cab.
Pitch operated a "Triple 6," the 666 Koehring on an 866 undercarriage. Because of the three sixes, whenever anything went wrong, as it inevitably would at some point, Pitch and my dad would assert "Satan has it in for us today!" The shovel, a modified excavator, weighed 70 tons and could easily pick up, with Pitch at the controls, an 8 foot in diameter, 40 foot long spruce log.
My dad had such trust in Pitch's precision and situational awareness that he'd buck the logs off with his chainsaw while they were in the clutches of the shovel's grapples. This was impressive because he'd had logs dropped on him by another shovel operator. (By chance he'd fallen into a hole in the ground just before the load dropped on him so he wasn't hurt.) There was no one who could match Pitch's skill--he manipulated the huge machine with its load of heavy logs with complete ease and control. This particular model was considered "slow," but as my dad said, "It was never 'slow' with Pitch at the controls."
Pitch and my dad worked together at Winter Harbor on Prince of Wales and though their crew was small, only five men, they managed to out-log the other much larger crew by a lot. My dad gives the credit to Pitch. He said that once the logs were sorted Pitch had the trucks lined up and could fill and dispatch them so quickly that no other team on the island could keep up. If there was an Olympics for shovel operators, Pitch would have taken Gold home every time.
When I saw Pitch as a kid, I was impressed by how he and my dad complemented each other--they were a lot alike in a lot of ways, but different enough that they could get a kick out of the other guy's perspective. They'd shared a lot of extraordinary life experiences, both being Vietnam vets who became loggers in remote Alaska and who built their own homes themselves. They worked together in Thorne Bay, on Prince of Wales Island, when it was the largest logging camp in the world.
One of my favorite memories of Pitch was when my mom, my sister and me, and two other kids from our bush school, crossed the strait to attend the prom in Thorne Bay. Pitch and his first wife Dale and their three daughters Cheri Dee, Kimery, and Kristi, were kind enough to open their home to us. Before he knew it, this rough and ready logger found his kitchen turned into a beauty salon.
I remember perching carefully on a chair in the living room, trying not to disturb my finery and hairdo, while Pitch entertained us with deliberately hair-raising logging tales. There was a twinkle in his eyes and a rich appreciation for the incongruity of the teens decked out in full prom regalia, the hairspray hanging heavily in the air, politely listening to his stories while my mom finished beautifying the other girls in the next room.
He was good at telling stories. Boom man Tim Lindseth recalls: "Every machine in the sort yard and on the pond had a CB radio and often there would be kind of a topic for the day as chatter, besides the important work stuff. So work stuff could be happening and a story or some ad lib comment going on all through the day.... Pitch made the comment (on the CB) that the Gov. was keeping tabs on who was sitting on a pile of money [through the strips inside $50.00 and $100.00 bills]. To that, every one yakked about this, off and on for an hour and the general consensus was that it must be some sort of tracking device! Pitch chimed in, if you bit the edge off the bill you can pull that strip right out. Now came all of our comments one by one what happens to the strip when the government finds out? Pitch says, he puts it in the cat's food...let 'em track that."
Pitch had a soft spot for cats and kittens. My dad tells the story of how Pitch invented a game that his cat's kittens adored, a little something he called "Cat Darts." He marked out a huge bull's eye on the living room curtains and would toss one of the kittens at the bull's eye. They would stick with their tiny claws to the fabric for a moment or so, then drop down and scamper back, crawling up his leg to have another turn, in the way kids the world over say: "Do it again, Daddy, do it again." He'd tire before the kittens did.
Chris Lewis, who worked as scaler/bucker with Pitch after my dad, told me this funny story about Pitch's soft heart for baby animals: "In the spring every year the area does would bring their fawns into the sort yard and hide them in and around the log decks, etc. Pitch always made sure that at least one skid had logs laid out so the does could hide the fawns against where the skid and the logs intersected and every morning while his shovel was warming up he would check to see if any fawns were hiding along his skids. Well, one morning as I was gassing up and getting my saw ready I noticed Pitch about halfway down a skid looking down at the ground...obviously looking at a fawn, when all of a sudden the little fawn got up and went right between Pitch's legs and tried to start nursing!! Well you can imagine the look on Pitch's face!! I'll never forget it. Of course Pitch just stood there trying to convince the little thing he wasn't its mama. Big tuff logger Pitch. Yeah, I believe he had a very kind heart."
He did have a kind heart. And he liked to share tips that made a person's life or chores easier. My dad was splitting firewood recently and he said, "Pitch taught me to do this better." He said he was chopping wood in the sort yard for the burn barrel one day, driving the ax into the center of a round the way he learned as a kid, when Pitch, who was watching him from the cab of the shovel, said, "There's an easier way to do that." He suggested my dad chop from the outside of the round inward. Sure enough, the tough rounds split far more easily that way and my dad uses the technique to this day.
Wherever Pitch went he was always willing to give of his time and his experience, and many people over many years have reason to be grateful.
After a long illness, lovingly tended by his wife Kathryn, Gerald Pitcher died on April 4, 2018. Pitch was a big guy in the ways that mattered: a man with a big heart, and with an enormous personality, and no one who ever met him will forget him.

Why is my converted video file bigger than the original file?
When you convert a video with Clipchamp Utilities, sometimes the resulting output file can be larger than the input file.
your input video is already compressed efficiently and cannot be compressed further.
your input video is encoded using an efficient video codec already (H.264, VP8,...) and cannot be compressed further.
your input video is encoded with a codec that is more efficient than the output settings you selected. For instance, this can be the case if you convert a video into WMV for Windows/Microsoft Office applications.
you convert an MP4 video to an ASF or FLV video. In these cases the resulting file will be larger than the input video because ASF/WMV and FLV are less efficient video codecs than MP4/H.264.
you selected an output resolution that's bigger than your video's original resolution.
In the customize settings, choose "Keep resolution" or a lower resolution than your original video (e.g. the smallest is 280p).
In the customize settings, select the "Low" quality output setting.
Try a different optimize preset, for instance "Mobile" instead of "Web".
If you don't need a specific format, choose the MP4 format.
In the majority of cases, Clipchamp Utilities is able to significantly reduce your input video's file size, but there are some situations where the video processing technology we use behind the scenes is reaching its limits. We're sorry if your input video is one of the few where this occurs.

Cassaundra Brown is heartbroken because she is missing her twins’ first Christmas. Instead of watching 9 month old Arianna and Dominick delight in the Christmas lights and new toys and pretty bows, she and Warnell Ludington are caught in desperate fight for their babies with DCFS, the child protective services department in Illinois, over what they believe in their hearts is a misdiagnosis.
The crux of the twins’ removal from their parents allegedly lies in an accusation of Shaken Baby Syndrome, a diagnosis which is surrounded by growing skepticism by medical experts, and which does not take into account Arianna’s history of medical complications since her birth. Though the parents have reportedly not been charged with any crime, their children have been seized by the state; and they are only permitted to see them for two hours per week.
Their visit this week was cancelled because the foster parents are out of town for the Christmas holidays.
This foster home is allegedly the twins’ fourth foster home in five months.
Their parents are grieving because they are “missing out on every first,” and just want their babies back.
Their story began when Cassaundra and Army Reserve Sergeant Warnell Ludington, both mental health counselors, met at their job at Northern Illinois Academy, a Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility, and fell in love.
Cassie “always wanted twins,” but her own health history had led her doctors to conclude that she would never bear children. She suffers from terminal Systemic Lupus E and anemia, among other illnesses, and has a family history of bone density issues. When she and Warnell found out that they were expecting twins, they were ecstatic. Cassaundra told us that it was a dream come true.
The twins were born five weeks prematurely on March 14, 2014. Cassaundra later found out that they had been diagnosed with IUGR, Intrauterine Growth Retardation, prompting the doctors to call for a c-section. Dominick is the larger of twins, and was born without incident. He went right away to his mother’s arms.
Arianna was born next and was pulled by her feet out from under her mother’s ribs. According to both her mother and father, she screamed right away, and then was silent. She was quickly given oxygen and taken to the NICU. It would be 12 hours before her mother would see her.
After their births, Dominick was fairly healthy, but his smaller twin sister has experienced a number of issues right from the start. According to their maternal grandmother, Jackie Heard, Dominick has always been “happy as a lark,” while “all Arianna did was scream early on.” Her parents say that she did not like lying on her back or stomach and would scream in pain. Early photographs show that she often cried when she was on her back, even when held in that position.
Both babies were reportedly born with a Vitamin D deficiency and abnormal blood counts, which the parents report they only learned months later when they got the babies’ records.
Records show that both babies received the recommended vaccinations. At birth, Dominick received the standard Vitamin K shot, but Arianna did not, even though they were preemies.
At 2 months of age, they received the DTaP, Polio, Hepatitis B, Hib, and Pneumococcal vaccines all on the same day, May 15.
She also had feeding issues, beginning in her time in the NICU. Communication within the hospital was confusing. The NICU staff said that Arianna could not be given her mother’s milk, because of the medications that Cassaundra took for her illnesses. At the same time, she breastfed Dominick in their room with full approval from the staff. Doctors changed Arianna’s formula four times, and she was diagnosed with GERD, and had difficulty with bowel movements and gas, as well as lots of choking and throwing up.
Cassaundra reports that Arianna often shook her head from side to side, and that she told the doctor that she believed something was wrong with her eyes. Numerous times during Arianna’s first few months, Cassie and Warnell report that she brought concerns to her pediatrician, Dr. Kleinfeld, only to be assured that it was simply normal feeding problems and that it was all OK. The parents report to Health Impact News that they did not believe that everything was fine.
The babies were sick in late June, but it was on July 7 that the family’s world turned upside down.
Warnell cared for the babies while Cassaundra was at work that afternoon. The twins were in the living room, alternating their fussy periods, while Warnell went to the kitchen to prepare a bottle. He reports hearing a “blood-curdling scream” from the living room, and he ran to to Arianna. He says that she spit up, but it was different from usual.
She appeared to have a seizure and then went limp, with shallow breathing. He immediately began CPR but she was unresponsive. He loaded the babies into the car seats for the harried three minute drive to the hospital. He placed Arianna’s seat in the front so that he could maintain two-finger chest compressions during the drive. Twice on the way, he had to slam on the brakes.
In the emergency room at Rush Copley Hospital, she finally became responsive. The doctors ran tests and found that there was bleeding on the brain as well as healing fractures on ribs 6 and 7.
Cassaundra arrived at the hospital to be told that Warnell was accused of Shaken Baby Syndrome, and that Arianna was to be flown by helicopter to Loyola Children’s Hospital.
The family was devastated when both twins were taken into DCFS custody on July 10.
Cassaundra believes that if the doctors had listened to her as they expressed concerns about Arianna’s health, they wouldn’t be in this situation. She felt in her heart that something was wrong, but her concerns were dismissed.
There is a family history of osteopenia, or low bone density, on her side. According to researcher Waney Squire, in his study entitled Shaken Baby Syndrome, prematurity itself predisposes to osteopenia. Though Cassie’s medications were modified after she learned that she was pregnant, she was prescribed some before that time that are contraindicated in pregnancy. Despite Arianna’s screams of pain when she was on her back, no x-rays were ever done until the July 7 admission to the hospital.
Hospital records show no reports of any neck injury in Arianna.
Since DCFS has seized custody of the twins, there has reportedly been no stability. They are currently in the fourth foster home since they were taken from their parents, and none of the homes have been with relatives, despite the federal law that relative placement should receive priority.
What kind of emotional damage is potentially happening to these babies?
Many childcare experts teach that bonding and attachment are crucial components of emotional health. Any time a child is separated from the biological parents, there is trauma caused to the child. How much greater is that trauma when children are shifted from pillar to post, with no continuity of care?
The babies’ grandmother, Jackie, reports that the twins light up when they see their parents, even though it is only for a mere two hours per week. She said that Arianna screams hysterically when her mom and dad start putting their coats on them and putting them in their car seats to leave. Dominick doesn’t react as passionately, but he is still sad. However, she says that the social worker told the family that the babies only cry because they are being taken away from their toys, an observation that doesn’t coincide with reality or scientific research.
Jackie says that she doesn’t get to see them as much as Cassaundra and Warnell, but they still recognize her voice and know who she is. This is consistent with evidence from pre- and perinatal psychology which shows that babies later recognize the voices of those they heard frequently while they were still in the womb. They heard Jackie’s voice often both before and after they were born.
Both she and Warnell lost their jobs as mental health counselors two months after their babies were taken, because of being in the midst of a DCFS case. Warnell, who served in Kuwait during his decade long military career, is currently in a Master’s program in clinical psychology, but the accusations by DCFS have not only taken his beloved children.

Its a bank holiday here in Ireland today so an extended weekend, can't complain about that! My little vintage fabric phase continues as I finished some bunting complete with vintage buttons. I plan to list on etsy this week, my little etsy shops are feeling a bit neglected so I have to fill them up with some new makes.
I am still trying to source fabrics for my quilt top project. I've set up a folder on pinterest to try and organise it. I set up a pinterest account recently www.pinterest.com/lollipopsday . There is so many incredible pictures on there, you could get lost for hours!
I had a stand at the Duckett's Grove Country Fair yesterday and it was a great day. The sun was shining and there was plenty for everyone to see and do and eat! The last fair I did (excluding pop-up shops) was the Christmas Fair there in December so I was a little rusty.I've managed to reduce my carrying of ten different boxes down to a more manageable three, made setting up so much easier. I was lucky enough to get a place along the wall so I made a washing line for my bunting.
Marvel comic fabrics were very popular, must let hubby and small boy pick fabric more often!! Thank you to everyone who stopped by or said hello, it was much appreciated. My daughter helped for the day and earned her pocket money. Her first job!
You are right about Pinterest! I can spend hours looking at photos and checking out links.
Your display looks very enticing. I'm glad I stopped by from Blogging Buddies.
Hello Sandy, thank you and welcome!
You have created gorgeous Vintage Bunting! Love the fabrics and detail.
Hello Liga, thank you! I am falling in love with lace!
I'll pop over to Pinterest to follow you...I'm totally addicted!
Thank you! I never quite manage less is more, ha ha. Looking forward to seeing your chair (note not to show it any boy in this house in case they get ideas).

There are a lot of people that recommend using MacPorts for installing a custom Ruby version, but there are a lot of issues with this approach too. If you did manage installing the Ruby version of choice, you might run into issues using TextMate or other tools, that depend on the default OS X Ruby (I think that I had ALL the problems one could have, but this might be an exaggeration).
The next problem arises if you want to use different versions of Ruby or even different implementations/runtimes (EVIL666) like JRuby, MacRuby or Rubinius.
There are some simple approaches to fix this mess. MacPorts and JRuby provide different binaries to run like ruby18, ruby19 or jgem, but this is error prone and confusing. I was always installing Gems to the wrong Ruby environment and there were always conflicts with scripts and tools looking for the actual Ruby binary.
Since this did not work out quite well I started to wire the path tightly in the .profile file to include just the right Ruby and Rubygems binary. This had the drawback that I had to close terminals for every switch. So I started writing bash scripts manipulating the path directly, which worked well, but was unconvenient.
Most of the Ruby versions are not stable. Ruby 1.9 is under development, JRuby has frequent compatibility and performance releases and MacRuby is kind of an an “Alpha”.
Some weeks ago I stumbled over RVM, which can be installed as a Gem to the standard preinstalled OS X Ruby. RVM provides some neat features and does exactly what I want. It provides a simple interface to manage Ruby distributions and does some clever stuff organizing local Gems.
If you have problems installing Ruby versions you should check the “troubleshooting guide”:http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/troubleshooting/ of RVM.
I ran into some problems with an old version of readline installed via macports, which could be resolved with the help of the guide.
Awesome exposition on why you wanted to use RVM!

Robert Adam was born in early 1896 in Littleton, West Lavington, Wiltshire. He was the youngest boy of nine children born to gamekeeper Alexander Adam and his wife, Agnes, nee Christie.
His parents were Scottish; his father was born in Kincardineshire and his mother in Aberdeenshire.
The children’s birthplaces suggest that the family was moving around the country a lot, no doubt with Alexander’s work as a gamekeeper. In 1887 they were in Sussex, in 1888 in Fifeshire, 1890 Yorkshire, 1892 Kincardineshire, 1894 Surrey, 1896 and 1899 Wiltshire, 1901 and 1904 Berkshire. They were still in Berkshire at Lambourn Woodlands for the 1911 census when Alexander’s two oldest sons were listed as gamekeeper’s assistants. Gamekeeping must have been fairly lucrative; Alexander died on 30 September 1913, at Westminster Hospital, leaving £1387 10s 1d in his will.
We know Robert arrived in the village sometime after the 1911 census and was living in Datchet when he enlisted but until recently, we did not know his occupation. We had wondered if there was a possibility he had become a gamekeeper like his father and was breeding and protecting game – and deterring poachers – on the Ditton Park estate for the Montagus of Beaulieu. In February 2019, we were contacted by Robert’s nephew, Michael Fred Christie Adam, who told us that his father, James, and Robert, worked as chauffeurs in Datchet for the Carson family of paint manufacturers at White House.
Robert and his four brothers all enlisted. Alexander Adam (b1886) served as Private 20228, Royal Berkshire Regiment and later as Private 595690, Labour Corps. John ‘Jack’ Christie Adam served as Leading Air Mechanic, F5878, Royal Naval Air Service. William Christie Adam (b1889) served as F5903 Royal Naval Air Service. And James (b1893) served with the British Red Cross and later in the Royal Air Force.
Robert enlisted in Windsor. He trained with the 2nd Battalion of the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry as Private 22167, then transferred to the 15th Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regiment as Private 30128.
The 2nd OBLI was mobilised in February 1916 and sent to France in June 1916. The men then transferred to the 15th Royal Warwickshires at the beginning of September 1916, as part of the 13th Brigade, 5th Division. Robert was in 19 Platoon D Company.
Robert was killed on Sunday 3 September 1916 when the battalion attacked Falfemont Farm during the Battle of the Somme. The battalion suffered 231 casualties that day.
The attack on the farm was part of the Battle of Guillemont, 3-6 September 1916. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission website includes information about this battle: “Throughout late July and August 1916, Guillemont defied repeated British attacks. These bloody encounters led only to partial and temporary occupations of shattered ruins as determined German counter-attacks and continuous artillery fire forced later withdrawals.
“Another major attack was planned for late August, though heavy rain delayed the operations until 3 September. Preliminary bombardments began on Saturday 2 September and, at 8.50am on Sunday morning, 5th Division [Robert’s division] advanced towards the protective strongpoint of Falfemont Farm to the south-east of the village.
“The main assault on Guillemont itself was made by 20th (Light) Division, two battalions of which crept forward before zero hour and took the Germans by surprise. At noon the main line, including a brigade of the 16th (Irish) Division, advanced and after much difficult fighting (especially near the quarry and station) Guillemont was secured and progress made several hundred yards eastwards.
Robert’s mother received the sad news of her son’s death in a letter from his platoon sergeant, written on 9 September, which Robert’s nephew has kindly shared with us.
Robert’s great, great nephew, Matt Spring, wrote on the Great War Forum that he recalled his grandmother showing him a newspaper cutting which quoted this letter to the family. Some sources on the website forum claimed that the barrage fell short, shelling British troops rather than the German positions.
The letter from the platoon sergeant was followed with official notification sent on 25 September 1916, confirming that Robert had been killed in action.
Mrs Adam received a letter in April the following year, 1917, from the War Office issuing the sum of eight shillings and six pence ‘being the amount that is due on the settlement of the accounts of the late Private Robert Adam to his brother James. The above amount is issued to you in accordance with the written request of the deceased’s brother James.’ This was sent to Mrs Adam at Staff House, Lambourn.
And again in December 1919, another formal letter from the War Office announced the payment of three pounds being the amount due to the estate of the late Private Robert Adam on account of War Gratuity, to be distributed in equal shares between his mother, sisters and brothers.
Robert has no known grave and is remembered on the Thiepval Memorial, the memorial to the missing of the Somme. He is also commemorated on the Datchet and Lambourn War Memorials.
The Lambourn Memorial was dedicated on Sunday 19 December 1920 at 3pm. Michael Adam kindly sent us a copy of the service sheet.
Robert was awarded the British War and Victory medals. His family received the following notification of this in April 1921.

World leaders have commented on British Prime Minister Tony Blair winning a historic third term in office.
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi: "This extraordinary result gives you a deserved place in history and rewards your political direction and that of your government. You are an example for all of us, for what you have done in these past eight years and also, I am sure, for what you will continue to do in the future."
German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder: "I wish you from the bottom of my heart success, good fortune and personal happiness for both those tasks [Britain's leadership in the G8 and European Union]. You can count on my support."
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso: "I look forward to working together to address the crucial challenges ahead of us, especially during the British presidency of the EU in the second half of this year. Our close cooperation is indispensable to the success of the European Union."
French President Jacques Chira: "I am delighted we can develop the Franco-British relationship in the service of our great nations and the European Union, in the spirit of trust that continues to drive us."
Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern: "I look forward to a continuation of the close personal friendship and working relationship that the prime minister and I have established particularly in our common efforts to advance the Northern Ireland peace process."
Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen: "I have great respect for Tony Blair, who, if anyone, has shown that he is a man who dares stand his ground."
Israel Foreign Ministry statement: "Tony Blair is a staunch friend of Israel and we look forward to working closely on the Middle East peace process and strengthening our bilateral relationship with the UK."
Australian Prime Minister John Howard: "He had to fight very strong opposition [on Iraq] within his own ranks and the steadfastness and commitment he displayed on that issue certainly impressed me and I believe many others who shared his convictions and my convictions on the issue of Iraq."
Bandar al-Aiban, head of Foreign Affairs Committee, Saudi Arabia's consultative Shura Council: "It has been evident that the war on Iraq was not popular, not just in our region but also in the countries which waged the war. That's evident in what we've seen in elections in Spain and Britain, and also in Italy.
"No doubt it has been a very controversial issue. Now the question is can people get together to help Iraq rebuild, and solve the major problem of the region - the Palestinian question."
South Africa Deputy Foreign Minister Aziz Pahad: "Clearly a historic victory by the Labour Party has taken place, but clearly they have lost close to 100 seats ... obviously the Iraq situation has had some impact and they will have to begin to understand that the will of the people is determined by such issues."

Post-operative sleep is one of the major aspects for rehabilitation and recovery after a surgical intervention. Sleep problems after surgery are common and are mainly triggered by the body's stress response to the trauma of surgery. This places high demands on the pre and post-operative care of children and adolescents. Our study examines the association between sleep and pain in young patients (11-19 years) during post-operative care.
240 patients, aged 11 to 19 years, were included in this analysis of prospectively collected data. Children and adolescents filled out a questionnaire designed to survey pain and pain-related problems in postoperative paediatric patients. The pain was assessed using the 6-face Faces Pain Scala revised (0-2-4-6-8-10), the sleep related aspect by dichotomous items (yes/no) or polytomous items (never to always).
Postoperative sleep was associated with pain. Patients who were tired on the first postoperative day had significant more rest pain [median (IQR): 2 (0-4) vs. 0 (0-2); p = .003] and pain during movement in bed [4 (2-6) vs. 2 (2-4); p = .006].
Problems to fall asleep the previous day because of pain were associated with patient's well-being. Patients who had problems to fall asleep felt weaker (p < .001), more depressed (p = .003) and less well (p < .001) compared to patients without pain related problem to fall asleep.
Awakening because of pain and the patient's feeling showed a similar pattern. Patients who were more likely to wake up because of pain during night felt weaker (p < .001, more depressed (p = .021) and less well (p < .001).
Postoperative pain had a significant negative impact on sleep quality and therefore on recovery after surgery. Showing the association between sleep quality and pain could be useful to offer a more individual pain therapy. Improving sleep quality by an optimized postoperative care is an important target to guarantee an optimal recovery.

You’ve spent some time thinking about letting your hair grow longer, right? And now that you’ve decided (great!), the process of letting it grow will take time too.
Realistically, give yourself four months to a year, depending on desired length and texture of your hair. If you are transitioning from chemically processed hair, it may take a bit longer. But don’t fret! Anything worth doing is worth doing right so, be patient. And prepare!
To prepare, think from the inside out. How healthy is your diet? What you put into your body, determines your hair growth cycle. The best way to stimulate hair follicles is by eating foods that are rich in vitamins, minerals and protein, foods that fuel a natural healthy environment for hair growth. You may want to have an annual check up and ask your doctor what supplements would be beneficial for growing your hair.
Start with a trim. Visit a professional salon to get your tresses prepared. A trim cuts away any dead hair or breakage that could sabotage your process before you even get started. Having a trim only when needed will help keep your natural hair healthy and strong as you go through the process.
Invest in good products. Having the right shampoo, conditioner, styling tools and moisturizer are important to your natural hair growth. Depending on your hair texture and type, know how often you should shampoo impurities such as oil and build up from your hair and scalp. A good deep conditioner and moisturizer protect and improve your hair conditions.
Note: Khamit Kinks offers a line of hair care products that are concentrated and great for maintenance of your new growth.
Massaging your scalp 3-4 minutes regularly with hair oil before shampooing can help increase blood flow.
Experiment with two or three natural styles while your hair is growing. For instance, at the beginning of the week you might try braids or a twist, and by the end of the week you might feel like an up-do or a twist. You have a variety of styling options!
Avoid heat and over styling. Protect your hair with hats that are lined with silk and sleep on silk pillowcases. Wrap your hair with a silk scarf at night. Lovely!
A little oil on your ends keeps your tresses tame and moisturized. Since a blow dryer tends to cause more damage when setting and drying, an investment in a hooded dryer is well worth it especially when using a deep conditioner.
Note: Know your hair type. At Khamit Kinks we offer hair care consultations. We can speak directly to your hair care needs and help you maintain your healthy growth.
With these suggestions and working with your hair care professional, your hair will be healthier and longer within no time! We would love to watch your process. Tag us, or share your experience with us via social media.
Above all the process should be fun and create a life long process to a healthy you.

It's been some time... but I haven't fallen off the face of the planet, or even down the side of the Europa Hotel... well, I did do that, but I had two ropes to stop me turning into mush at the bottom! The worst moment was right there, between the E and the U of Europa, between the roof and the drop. The "Does-my-bum-look-big-in-this-well-good-cos-I-need-all-the-padding-I-can-get" moment. The "eu" of Greek words usually means "good". Strange how you can be in the middle of goodness, and totally focussed on something else, not feeling anything resembling good! [Note to self: cheesy sermon illustration.] I bet EuRopa means Good Rope in Greek. No? Would be poetic, but unlikely, don't you think? A glance at wikipedia suggests "wide-eyed" is the etymology. That works too.
What I WILL take time to say is Thanks. I've been amazed by the generosity of those of you who sponsored my abseil for Habitat for Humanity NI. Let's be honest. I never thought I'd get anywhere near the target of £1235; but already we're at £800.
Now I believe it really might be possible to aim for the "house" (i.e. the average cost to HFH of building a house for/with a poor family in the developing world.) Your generosity increases my faith. Question is, what should I do to raise the other £400? Suggestions anyone?
How about we sponsor you to include words in your next sermon. £5 for a straightforward word; £10 for a more unusual one.
And £20 to include an object in a look-what-I've-got-in-my-bag children's address!
There's bound to be a PWA (or should I say PW now?) who are dying for an excuse to host a coffee morning lol. Actually might be good some morning at a parents and toddlers group or something. My goodness, living in the country is having it's toll on me!
You could maybe arrange an end of school/start of summer bash for kids with games and crafts etc and charge a little entrance fee?
Sorry, I'm never good at fund raisers. Love Alan's idea though! I'm up for it!
I was thinking, perhaps you'd help me run a flower festival, Ruth... RUTH, come back! I'm only joking, honest!
Alan, I love this idea... Do you think I'd get heresy-trialled for that?
Re your etymology... You'd be wide eyed too if you were about to have a liaison with Zeus disguised as a bull!!!
Hmm... Not sure I want to think about that... The view from the Europa was quite an eyeful though.

Noisiest nights @ stans since all seater days?
West Ham league cup semi.
What have those games got in common?
Yes I know Watford won on pens but we won 1.0 on the night!
Annie, now I am begging you, please change your poster name.. it makes me gag!
It’s the old day equivalent of Arlene fosters crutch piece!
I think you're missing the point of the thread, DES, amazingly enough. :-) Raucous, partisan noise does, I agree - but the whole thread's about the generic 'clap clap' stuff that the Palace fans do. Never mind.
Palace have always been the embarrassing club down there, bit like Coventry up here.
I’ve been there Tam! It’s 1000% times better than silence!
Brentford was just a few days after we'd won the Auto Windscreen Shield at Wembley. I think the Brentford players admitted (it could have been Martin Grainger of all people) that they were intimidated. That night was a good example of a proper intimidating atmosphere, not the 'ra-ra-ra' generic nonsense that a lot of fans come out with now. I think we've still got it, too.
Does anyone remember the Area Semi final against Cambridge in the Leyland Daf under Macari?
Think the gate was around ten thousand but it was the loudest it had been for a few years, won 3-1 I think Dublin might have scored for them.
I think Brentford game was when big Kev done his cruciate in, wasnt it!
Thank you. The worst support in the league.
What their "ultras" do isn't about the team. It isn't about what's happening on the pitch. It's all about them. It's a performance of support, not the real thing.
HA HA didnt realise that expression still in use Fanny Batter, very PC!!
Same I've always said its embarrassing.
Fair Play to any fans making noise / having a go but the all in black trying to look hard copying the foreign Ultra's I find cringe worthy. And even more so that the Journo's have a W*ank fest over them!
now all we get @ Stans is KRO ad nauseum!
Its sad really, Ive seen two or three attempts to get singing going again, on railway and on front of Tilton, all died stone dead!

There are two parts to this opinion piece. The first considers the very important role of exposure to nature in a child’s development. The second describes the need for effective standards in vision screening.
Nature deficiency is not a disease, but it’s a real problem. Regardless of the professional paradigm you adhere to for a living, the consequences of inactivity and a detachment from the many lessons nature teaches us has a profound impact upon how children develop and what they can achieve as a consequence.
It seems intuitive that the more children are exposed to electronic media, the less they are inclined to spend time interacting with the physical world or seek the outdoors. We can all attest to this through our own experiences and knowledge of the children and clients we deal with. Between automation, centralized food processing, digital media, and limited availability of outdoor education and experience, we are raising a generation of sedentary children who are virtually disconnected from and unaware of the natural world.
This last statement is significant for three important reasons, all of which are relevant to the discussion of childhood academic and behavioural concerns. The lack of DSM classification notwithstanding, practitioners must recognize that full and complete child development requires nourishment through an environment and experiences that produced this current model of human. This includes the full gamut from healthy food from natural sources, to open spaces for running and obstacles for climbing, and a vast laboratory for making messes, dropping things, and most certainly breaking things. The nervous system learns to integrate sensory, motor, and cognitive functions only by experiencing physical experiences that provide multimodal interactions with the physical world – there is no virtual reality alternative.
Firstly, a sedentary lifestyle is clearly not a good health indicator, and a poorly maintained engine will simply not perform as well in the classroom. Poor diets and sleep habits contribute to irritability, poor tolerance of sustained tasks. Growing vegetables and turning them into culinary delights not only teaches children respect for the land and how to eat well, they learn important visuomotor skills that prepare little hands for the finer motor control required for writing.
What is most important with respect to reading, learning, and vision, is that children have a diminishing/diminished exposure to the physical world, and this prevents full development of spatial awareness, locomotor control and integration, and balance. These elements are critical for development of fine motor control and visual targeting. We are, in effect, over-loading our children visually on the one hand, then removing their chance of developing strong vision on the other. This is why locomotor, spatial awareness, and balance training are critical to learning therapies – and why most text-based learning therapies are of limited value.
In the Children and Nature Network report “Children’s Nature Deficit: What We Know – and Don’t Know”, the authors report a number of observations regarding children’s health, knowledge of nature, and relative exposure to the outdoors. The main findings and the full report can be found HERE.
For more information, read the pdf or go to http://www.childrenandnature.org/research/.
While not all elements of the comprehensive examination are practical for on-site assessments of large groups, detailed assessment of refractive error, nervous function, and ocular motilities can be obtained in a relatively brief time and should be considered compulsory. When problems arise, gathering of more detailed information is warranted on an individual basis. Refraction with cycloplegia (‘dilated’ or ‘drop’ examination) for borderline cases is an effective means of increasing reliability of referrals and reducing costs overall. Use of more recent autorefractor technology combined with cycloplegia in school screening is a powerful tool in accomplishing this.
In order to ensure all children are properly assessed for potential significant VIL, all should be assessed periodically following the guidelines in the table below, beginning shortly before Grade 1. In Alberta, these services are available to all parents, but accessibility is a problem so that a mere 15-20% of children are ever checked.
Table 2: Recommended Elements in Assessing Visual Readiness for Early Elementary.
Visual Health: Eyes, visual nervous system.
Refraction: Retinoscopy or Autorefraction, cycloplegia recommended for borderline or clinically significant cases.
Visual Acuity: At near distance, observing strain.
Pursuit movements and fixation as indicators of visual developmental status.
Saccadic behaviour for potential impediments to rapid automated sequential targeted movements required for reading.
Comprehensive assessment programs, as compared to current screening methods, are prudent fiscally and with respect to health and education outcomes. Still, tightening school and health budgets encroach upon school nursing and monitoring programs, and more effort is now spent on making vision screening faster and more efficient. But this comes at the price of increased numbers of false negatives and higher costs for intervention for academic, behavioural, and health concerns resulting from unchecked VIL over the child’s lifetime. Abbreviated screening protocols then, such as simple sight tests administered by untrained personnel, may well represent false economy while providing little to no benefit to those who need the help most.

Agreed on school finance... that should have been top priority. Disgusting what did make top-billing.
I'm not big on big high school football... tons of money and attention spent there and it has no educational value. I agree that after-school activities are important but funneling so much into something only few can play is wrong.
My foster-daughter is in JROTC. Great program.
Me and my girlfriends were just discussing this over lunch yesterday. We will pay for this shortfall one way or another. Cut funding in schools...increase your crime rate and future inmates. In the end...we will spend more on housing these students in our state prisons. That ain't right!

I’m very grateful to Phil Gyford for creating this playlist on Spotify: Facing the other way: the story of 4AD. It’s given me a chance to remember some music I’d forgotten, and one or two haircuts I’d rather not think about at all.
It began with the Cocteau Twins, while I was still at school. A 6th form friend called Phil invited me round his house, played some ’Twins at me, and I begged to borrow his tapes. He generously agreed, and I buried myself in the early Cocteaus back catalogue, greedily copying tape-to-tape on my crappy Sanyo boom box. I think it was a Sanyo. Anyway.
From the Cocteaus I moved on, first I think to The The and to Throwing Muses. I can remember buying Hunkpapa on cassette, and I think I was still at school… (checks: yes - it came out in January 1989). I can also remember playing Hunkpapa to friends while driving my mum’s car. They didn’t like it much.
Then the Pixies released Surfer Rosa and everything went nuts. Pixes were huge, everyone was into them after Doolittle came out. We sang “Gigantic” and “Debaser” in the SU bar, drinking our cheap cider and bottles of Newcastle Brown. Ugh.
I was a student with no money for anything except music, so obviously I didn’t bother with haircuts. My hair grew a ridiculous long fringe which flopped over the top of my glasses. I looked like a right flannel.
Eventually I had to get a haircut because I had to get a job. As 4AD continued to release more stuff, I now had disposable income to buy it with. Pale Saints, Lush, The Breeders, This Mortal Coil, Belly, Ultra Vivid Scene. So many happy hours in my tiny crappy bedroom in my scuzzy crappy shared house, with my headphones on and those albums going right through me.
A few happy hours in live venues, too, seeing some of those bands play live. Throwing Muses live were incredible - Kristin Hersh moving her head from side to side, while keeping her eyes fixed straight ahead. Hypnotic, bewitching, unforgettable. Even now, more years later than I care to try counting.
Phil’s playlist is 37 hours long. Take a week off work, and let it go through you.

Are you already familiar with what is ctm?If no then continue reading and find why our skin needs this.CTM is c=cleansing,t=toning,and m=moisturizing. If we give 10 minutes in morning and 10 minutes at night to our skin its enough for a healthy skin.So lets checkout what cleansing actually means.
Skin is nothing without CTM routine.
Cleansing the face is the most important part that we must do in the morning,that should not be ignored at all.Cleansing not only removes the dead skin but also clears the oil that has been accumulated overnight on the skin. Cleansing helps to manage the ph (pouvoir hydrogene) of the skin.The ph level of skin is from 4.5 to 5.5.
Cleansing is the key for a beautiful skin,no matter what your skin type is cleansing is must for all skin types.Cleansing releases sebum from our skin and makes it look fresh and healthy.
3.2 Drops of lemon juice, Mix all the ingredients together,massage it well and then wash it off.
So the next step is toning. After every treatment toner is used.Toner basically closes the pores of our skin and prevent it from pollution. Toner creates one layer to the skin. And the most important thing we use skin freshener for dry skin and astringent (Toner) for oily skin.
Many of you may be thinking why is it so?
Then the answer is skin freshener is a non-drying formula for dry skin. Most of the skin freshener is hydrating one and it suits dry skin. But its not same to the acne prone or oily skin because oily skin releases much amount of oil on the skin,hence to lock that oil toner is used.
Soak mint leaves in hot water until all the extract gets into the water, then after that, we can use that water as a toner.
Moisturizing is the basic need for all skin types.Use moisturizer as soon as we take bath.Moisturize the face atleast 2 times in a day. Moisturizing our face before applying the makeup is must as it save our skin from harmful chemicals. Moisturizing is the protection of our skin.Now a days we get spf in moisturizer so its a double coat on our skin.
Moisturizer has two types,first is oil base moisturizer and the second one is water base/oil free moisturizer.
Water base moisturizer is used for oily skin which is also known as oil free moisturizer.
Mix all these ingredients and refrigerate it.
Hope you guys find it helpful.Do follow the CTM routine for best skin.

In 1958 Edgard Varese’s ‘Poème électronique’ premiered at Expo 58, also known as the Brussels World’s Fair, the first major World Fair after World War 2.
The premiere took place in the extraordinary Philips Pavillion, a cluster of nine hyperbolic paraboloids designed by the office of Le Corbusier and managed by Xenakis. But perhaps even more extraordinary is the nature of the Expo itself, especially in the late 19th and first half of the 20th C.
What is a world fair, a world exposition (or Expo for short)? It is an exhibition designed to educate, share innovation, promote progress and enable understanding between nations and cultures. World Expos have always had at their heart a central aim to help humanity make sense of change and navigate difficult times.
Almost every statistic about an Expo is mind-boggling in some way. Expos have been taking place around the world for 160 years at a rate of one approximately every 5 years with the exception of the 2nd world war period. Most of us know something of the very first Expo – The Great Exhibition, which took place in Hyde Park, London in 1851. Joseph Paxton’s 990,000 square foot architectural masterpiece, later called the Crystal Palace, was built to display examples of technology developed in the industrial revolution. Six million people visited. The money raised paid not only for the exhibition itself but there was enough left to fund cultural and educational institutions including the Geological Museum, the Museum of Science and Natural History, the V&A and the Imperial College of Science.
By 1958 (the year of Poème électronique) the Expo had developed into a decidedly space-agey affair. Brussels 1958 was dedicated to ‘Progress and Mankind’. It was a turning point in the history of Expos; it marked an 18 year absence from World Fairs following WW2 and whilst still showcasing national prestige, it questioned the unconditional celebration of technology and placed humanity – not technology – at the heart of the event. According to the Expo Museum, a staggering fifty-one million people attended. At the heart of the 500 acre site was the Atomium, an iconic ‘seminal totem’ which symbolised the democratic will for peace, faith in progress and an optimistic vision of a better life for mankind.
Brussels 58 was perhaps the most ‘improbable postwar event that actually took place’ The July 1957 edition of the UNESCO Courier  offers a fascinating and generous preview of the whole event. There is also a surprisingly good quality home video of the Fair on YouTube in which I experience a little frisson of excitement at 2 minutes 24 – the Philips Pavillion! There it is!
Cable cars and futuristic architecture rubbed shoulders with surprisingly ‘classical’ looking statues and paintings. The Dutch pavilion displayed part of a ship. There were tropical gardens and numerous models of landscapes, sometime whole countries. The USSR sent the famous corps de ballet from Moscow and built a Parthenon around a statue of Lenin. The United States sent theatre companies and orchestras. France sent the Comédie-Francaise and I’m pleased to see from the Courier that the ‘leading London symphony orchestras’ were also present. The film shows what appear to be impeccably behaved crowds of smartly dressed people. In truth, the dominant ‘theme’ appears to be one of ‘anything goes’ …but I think that’s the point of the early World Fairs. They inspired flights of futuristic fancy. They were absurd. They got people buzzing, speculating on the future.
And it is in this innovative, bold and fantastic context that we can see the true value of experimentation, one of the most significant byproducts of the World Fairs. A perfect setting for Le Corbusier, Xenakis and Varese to create an electronic poem…..next blog post!

A Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) encompasses both the academic and social-emotional-behavioral demands of learning.
Seattle Public Schools has made a shift in practice to emphasize integration of both academics and behavior as critical to student success. MTSS emphasizes the system of support, rather than interventions.
MTSS is a key part of the SPS Formula for Success to support all learners and ensure equitable access to a robust, high quality education. MTSS provides a structure to address individual needs to maximize learning potential.
This year, we will bolster and strengthen the systems and structures developed over the last two years to ensure every student has equitable access to high-quality instruction and support.
We now have the structures in place (MTSS Teams, Homeroom, interim benchmark assessments etc.) for schools to monitor student data, make decisions about supports for students, and share instructional practices that are are working.
Support for implementing MTSS in schools will be provided through a tiered structure and aligned to each school's goals and needs.

According to certified mental health counselor Francoise Mathieu, “compassion fatigue is characterized by deep emotional and physical exhaustion and by a shift in a caregiver’s sense of hope and optimism about the future and the value of their work.” This can occur when staff are working with families who have been deeply traumatized and are constantly in crisis. If not properly addressed, compassion fatigue can affect an individual’s personal and professional life.
April was a challenging month, to say the least. It seemed as if every day we were dealing with a crisis and the problems families were sharing were taking a toll on the staff. Within a two week period we had an infant on life support, a parent brutally attacked, a parent with suicidal symptoms, a parent with a life-threatening disease, and a family begging for our help in keeping Child Protective Services from taking their children.
We know that working with children experiencing homelessness entails making a commitment to help beyond the classroom and beyond what would be expected of a typical child development center. And, at the same time, we must make a commitment to take care of ourselves, knowing that without doing so we run the risk of burn-out and vicarious trauma (negative emotional or psychological effects of the experience of helping people impacted by trauma).
The culture of Children Today is grounded in empathy, not just for the children and families we care for, but for each other. Staff are encouraged to look to each other for support, to share their feelings, and to ask for help when they are overwhelmed or overwrought. Knowing that it’s okay to step away from a situation that is particularly troubling and that someone else will be there to take over for a while provides tremendous relief. Fortunately for us, working with children can be such a joy that they themselves contribute so much to the satisfaction we get out of helping others.
All that being said, the only way to truly protect your health, your relationships, and your clients, is to make a commitment to implement self-care strategies into your life. They can be simple things like exercising, or delegating, or learning to say no more often. The important thing is to pay attention to your own needs and make time for yourself.
Today, I’ll pick up my son from daycare and I’ll take him to the park to play dinosaurs before it gets dark. This will be the one thing I do today to nourish my spirit so that I can be fully present tomorrow.

So back in October of 2013 my husband had an amazing job offer in Lloydminster and we were going to move there permanently. Problem though was that the city was and is booming and we couldn't find a place to rent let alone a house to buy. We looked and looked but couldn't find what we wanted in a forever home and then we came across a builder there that was building on a lot across the street from a state of the art school being built at the same time. The school was the answer to all my worries about what was lacking for my girls education in Lloydminster, it has an observatory! What school has an observatory!?! We got a floor plan that we loved and our super awesome builder let us finish the house the way I wanted to even though it was a spec house. What was even better was that my husband felt guilty for moving us all to a different city and so he let me have total design control and I stayed UNDER budget thank you very much (neither of which will likely happen again).
My biggest difficulty designing this house was that it had to appeal to the Lloydminster market just in case I would have to sell it (which now I have to do). So I asked my friends on Facebook wether or not I should finish the kitchen with a French bistro or modern theme and French bistro won by a landslide!
Here are my pics from our Monday drive to see the house for the first time after completion.
My girls want to live in this house forever for the chandelier alone. Strangest thing, the glass didn't come with the cabinets, they were purchased later.
Moen Vestige series faucet in chrome was my cost effective alternative to a bridged faucet.
Prettiest 'earrings' for the kitchen I found at Home Depot.
These are the the tiles that I have been swooning over for months and found in Home Depot for 1/4 the cost of any tile place in Edmonton. I had to drive around the city with two toddlers collecting batches of it, fun times.
A double shower so to recap the days events. This faucet was for claw foot tub that I never got, but I settled this panel design (faucet from Home Hardware).
Marble hexagon mosaic tiles for the shower floor that my builder didn't understand until completion.
For those of you who remember my Beauty Junkie boutique days, I am keeping those Venetian mirrors for my girls. (Ikea, no longer available).
Lastly this is the man cave washroom. Modern and similar to our current house.

So you’ve got a team of developers working on projects that run on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and they all need programmatic access to various AWS resources.
How do you grant AWS access to these developers? Well, if you know AWS then you will know they need AWS access credentials. This gives them the ability to access the resources they require and it’s fairly easy to set up.
But what happens when your developers are accessing multiple different AWS accounts and have different access levels or roles in each of those accounts? You can start issuing AWS credentials for each developer under each account and for each role but that is quickly going to turn into a massive management headache that you know you don’t have time for.
So what can you do? Well OneLogin has a nifty new command line tool that solves all of these issues for you. We call it OneLogin AWS CLI Assume Role.
The OneLogin AWS CLI tool saves both AWS administration time and improves developer productivity by letting you manage user access via your OneLogin portal and issuing temporary AWS credentials via a simple command line interface.
Better yet, it means that you will never have to manually issue multiple AWS credentials for your developers ever again.
Here’s what it looks like for a developer that needs to login to AWS to access an app. Notice how they can specify their AWS app, region, and role, along with their OneLogin instance — all from the command line interface.
It also automatically supports Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) by conveniently prompting for a token if one is required. This is incredibly important because AWS developer accounts are privileged and should be protected with MFA.
You setup an AWS Multi Account app in your OneLogin account. Note that you still need to use the Multi Account app even if you only have one AWS account.
You issue a set of Authentication Only level OneLogin API credentials and issue these to all your developers.
Your developers download the OneLogin AWS CLI binary from our Github repository and configure it with the API credentials you provided.
Each developer executes the binary from the command line and is prompted for their OneLogin username, password, and MFA token if you have that enabled.
Once the developer is authenticated, they are prompted with a list of available AWS accounts and roles that they can access. They select one and are magically presented with the appropriate AWS credentials.
If you’re feeling the pain of managing access to multiple accounts, with multiple roles for multiple people then this new CLI tool will change your life. Give it a try now!

Routinely, success has a lot to do with your resourcefulness in how you respond to what is fated in life.
Don’t believe in fate? After reviewing many of the circumstances in your life that you can’t control, you may reconsider.
Due to long-term observation of the circumstances in many people’s lives, along with simultaneous predictive analysis, I believe I’m in a position to offer an educated viewpoint on the topic of fate.
My long-term findings show that the general inclination of your future is fated, along with many of the core particulars. The overall framework of life circumstances involving money, love life, family, partnerships, career, and much more is fated in life.
What’s that you say? People can choose a much better life if they want? Only to a point, no matter how many inspirational books they read. But what they can do is respond as constructively as possible to that which they can’t change. There’s nothing limiting about embracing the notion of personal fate.
Considering all the various ways people “choose” to behave, when you identify distinct patterns in the comprehensive charts time and time again symbolizing that “chosen” behavior, you realize it’s not choice, but fate.
Please note: my philosophy is that you should always assertively work toward your goals and that fate usually necessitates that you do so. Consider personal fate and free will partners. However, fate (rewarding or challenging) does show up at your doorstep without warning, at times.
Understanding which situation you’re in—just leaving, about to encounter, or currently encountering problems—allows you to take appropriate action. Dialing in to the specifics and timing of your personal fate allows you to minimize your overall risk and maximize the rewards, no matter what is fated in your life.
