I have been looking through the examples in Codea - specifically the 'Spritely' example because it uses an info button to display instructions - however, I am having difficulty reading through the various tabs trying to decipher and pick out the relevant code to help me do this. I must not be fully understanding the touch class with regard to this? I have tried examples and I get output that tells me the button has been activated.. (using a sprite as a button - thanks ChrisF!).. also that a single or double tap has occurred and swiping too but I just can't work out how to make the action bring up a window / new screen. I am new to coding in general so sorry in advance if this is a dumb question but is there anyone that could explain this in simple terms to me and help me out please?
Here is something I had from long ago that might give you an idea. There are a lot of different ways to do what you are asking.
this is really what i'm looking for but I feel I dont understand the everything here. Please bare with the noob questions.
Why doesn't it work calling menu() from draw()?
When does the easy, medium and hard functions get called?
trying to learn how to set up buttons but feel i dont really get it.
If you call menu() from draw, that's all you'll be calling 60 times per second. The call to func() allows you to change what function is getting called. Func() starts out as being Menu, so that's what gets executed. While you're in menu, you have the option to call easy, normal, or hard depending on what button you touch. When you make a selection, Func is assigned a function ( easy, normal, or hard ) and that's what gets called in draw. You just keep moving between screens based on what you select.
thx dave for super quick response. I think what was confusing to me was that func could change which function it was in that way.
Ok, so here's another noob follow up question. I used your code and trying to apply it to how think / would like to design the code. Problem is: I dont understand why it doesnt write "click" when state is set to 1 by the touch event. I know the code gets into the if but why doesnt it print "click"?
In FULLSCREEN mode you cant see the output panel where things are printed. Comment this line to see it.
In the section "if state == 1 then" the line of code "text("click" ' w, h)" is wrong. The ' should be a , . It should be text("click", w,h) . Also, when to tap explore, you set state to 1 and print the value 1 every time draw is called, 60 times a second. Each time you tap explore, the word click prints, but is pushed off the top of the print window by all the 1's printing.
Try changing the if statement to this. The problem is you're mixing text and print. If you want print to work, then set state to 0. If you want text to show, then you don't set state to 0 but print will show 60 times a second which is what you don't want to do.
Oh, fantastic! I just had the print there for debug reasons. Maybe i should have said so.
Thinking of what im trying to achieve i think your example will be perfect. Will do some more coding and see how it goes.
Once again, super big thanks!

The first one we defeated Medway Baptist by a score of 17-6 and the second game we defeated Huber Heights Mennonites by a score of 19-13. More to follow! Please stay tuned!
Greetings from St. Mark’s softball team! Our 2012 season has now finally come to an end. Although we came up just shy of splitting our wins and losses, the great start we had in the Tournament not only evened up our win-loss record, but it also guaranteed us a third place trophy finish! We really missed our pitcher Jim Rudd at the end of the season and hope to see him next spring at our first practice. Many thanks once again to our extraordinaire coaching staff comprised of Tracy Hall (manager) and Don Nancarrow (coach and chief statistician) for all their hard work. We hope to see all of our players and fans again in 2013!

What! Art though like the Adder waxen and deaf?
The artwork draws from the ambiguous monologue by Queen Margaret in Shakespeare’s Henry VI (Second Act, Scene III) to disclose the latent nature of an animated object that dances like a spirit or a ghost in a Baroque room. According to the artist, this striking monologue reveals the suppressed meanings and the convulsive secrets of the object of art that personifies the history of art as well as our past and memories in the everlasting layers of wax.
As part of the big ongoing research over jan Kott and its legacy this new parallel theatrical experiment in performative form, is wondering about Which is the past of the art though, that now is venarated? Isnt a work of todays artists to reveal the secrets of the past of an artwork? And how often we, artists, are having compromise with this past.
Did we face it like a conceptual condition, formulating a dialogue with it? Juxtaposing Time as the catalyst of the identity of the history of Art?
The Past and the Poison in Art as an instrument and the way we perceive Poisonous Past of an artwork. If this is injected to a theatrical play of a live art Performance or music piece.
But what really involve artists to deal with the past? How theatre and performance linked to live art, responds to that. How many forms of these practices are still ongoing?

It’s said that you should never meet your heroes, but maybe that truism doesn’t apply to the third youngest Academy Award for Best Actor nominee Timothée Chalamet. When the Call Me By Your Name star showed love to Cleveland rapper Kid Cudi on Twitter, rather than being ignored or receiving a cursory reply, he was bestowed with the honor of being named Cudi’s favorite artist. Understandably, he flipped out a little due to the excitement of having his admiration reciprocated in such a superlative fashion.
After all, as he put it himself in a recent tweet, he’s been a Cudi fan since his freshman year of high school, when Cudi’s debut Man On The Moon debuted at No. 4 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and Chalamet stayed up studying to songs like “My World.” So when Cudi responded to a fan inquiry about his favorite artist by simply tagging Chalamet, the actor’s response was no less excited almost ten years after his late-night study sessions.
Of course, at this, Cudi noticed the prior tweet about Chalamet’s freshman year, prompting his own ecstatic response of “😭 Timmmmmmmm!!!” at which point, Chalamet reached, in his words, “STAN LEVEL 368483.” It was an endearing display of mutual appreciation from a pair of artists separated by mediums and almost a decade in age, but who showed that sometimes, it’s okay to meet your heroes, even if it’s only on Twitter.

Ellen, I have been purchasing the markers from your store, and am eagerly (but patiently :-) awaiting the arrival of my most recent orders (more Sketch markers AND the new glitter pens!). I would LOVE to order some type of container/holder for them. When all arrive, I will have at least 48, so whatever works best for those is what I need. In addition, I am hoping you will be adding two markers from your list of SU "matches" which I was unable to find in your store: RV11 Pink (Pretty in Pink) and Y19 Napoli Yellow (Summer Sun).
Thanks for all your hard work in bringing us the best of the best in new and exciting products! I hope your foot heals quickly and that you're back going at full-speed again soon!
Like Jimmy Carter, I have "lust in my heart" for these markers! Hope you get good news on your ankle so you can be up and running!

View Full Version : Page Ranks updated...?
Seems this morning sees an update for page ranks.
My 'name' domain is down one point to a PR of 5, which is fine because it's seemed to have boosted a number of my other sites.
My two largest stay the same (5), while my two new main sites (Buy Metal and Low Interest Cards) have risen from 4 to 5 each.
Possibly. My weightloss-tips site has gone down to a 4 (well - sometimes it shows a 4) which hopefully means it may push my carbohydrate-counter site up (currently a 5) because of the cross linking on every page. Hasn't happened yet though.
There are some backlink changes too that I've noticed.
Seems the page ranks have gone back to what they were yesterday, now. Maybe I was hitting a different data centre or something?
Dunno. My weightloss tips site is still a 4 but it used to be 5. It's normal for it to fluctuate between old and new values before it settles anyway. Could be you're just seeing the fluctuation.
In that case, I hope the values I saw earlier this morning are the 'new values' (although I'd like to retain a 6 for my home domain).
I'm seeing major changes in the SERPs.
None of my sites changed, but my Backlinks dropped... this month, I will work on that.
For my sites, I'm seeing PR, backlinks update. No SERP update.
Yes, it's only for some sites I've seen. It's still in the process, but it's definitely happening.
there were no serp updates this morning(EST), but now it is night and there are some.

Over the years, in addition to being a beloved wife and mother, Joyce worked for a time at Harmony Enterprises, and Stan’s Bakery. She learned to drive a car in her forties, and served as Harmony’s Avon Lady, selling cosmetics door-to-door. In her free time, she enjoyed sewing and crafts.
Joyce is survived by her husband, Mel, 93; her children, Larry Mikkelson, Gary Mikkelson, Sherry Miller and Tami Hoag; and eight grandchildren; fifteen great grandchildren; and five great-great grandchildren.

Very busy place. Great food. Understaffed though.
We came to port Douglas for 8 nights. First 5 we went to other establishments and we realised this place isn’t a foodie area. Everywhere we ate food was below average. I know what your thinking other people give good reviews but I have travelled the world and eaten in 3 Michelin and 2 Michelin star restaurants. But I must say that we went to Sassi and was most impressed. Service was good and food was home style food but spectacular. Booked it for dinner for rest of our stay.
Great food and service, it would be nice if there was chanti by the glass or the small bottles as per the menu. We loved sitting outside and the pasta dishes were amazing. Good authentic Italian restaurant.
Loved the authentic Italian service, the singing waiter and wonderful selection of food. The restaurant has lovely ambience to it, and nice views. Definitely recommended.
All about the taste! Sassi Cucina + Bar delivers the best of Italy’s flavours right in Port Douglas. Either sit outside and dine underneath the stars amongst the bougainvillea or inside at the bar, Sassi has something for everyone. This spot is perfect for drinks with friends over an Italian feast or casual lunches. You’ll find it impossible to go past the delightful flavours of the spaghetti con le vongole (spaghetti with clams) or the costola di manzo (Black angus on the bone, salt and pepper crusted, char grilled, served with anchovy and rosemary butter). With a range of wines to complement each dish, your taste buds will be thanking you for the gift. Best Dish: Fritelli di zucchine- zucchini fritters with mint and mayonnaise.

You’re about to get hitched with the man or woman of your dreams, and now you’re now planning for the greatest day of your life – your wedding. You’re now thinking about all those happy faces, as each family member and friend present in the occasion will shower you, as the newlywed couple, with blessings and pure bliss.
However, after all that wishful thinking about what’s going to happen on your wedding day dies down, reality will sink into view. In truth, planning your wedding day can be an absolute nightmare because of the many things you need to consider. Also, perhaps the most nightmarish thing to think about in planning for your wedding day is the venue. In that regard, you might want to consider an outdoor wedding ceremony, and we’re here to tell you why this can be a good thing for you.
Outdoor weddings are full of green, which might otherwise be absent from having the ceremony inside a church or a judge’s office. If you and your significant other are about to tie the knot outdoors, then you might even want to make the theme in line with the environment. This setting can be a boon for partners that are into wildlife and nature because you’re going to enjoy all the nature surrounding you. It’s going to be even more romantic when you time the “You may now kiss the bride moment” as the sun sets on the horizon. Now that’s a picture worth remembering for decades.
There’s a certain peacefulness, calm, and serenity when you have your wedding ceremony in an outdoor setting. The outdoor venue will create a fantastic ambiance, especially when the weather conditions are great and the sun is setting in the vast horizon. Now, imagine this – as the sun goes down, the lights in the venue will slowly begin to shine, highlighting your partner with the luminosity that would seem like it was the first time you’ve met them in ages. Treasure this moment, because it’s not going to last forever, and this setting can be difficult to achieve if you were to get married in an urban jungle.
One of the most popular questions for wedding planners is, “What happens if it rains?” Outdoor venues, such as the likes of The Willows, will make sure that all visitors, guests, and, most especially, the bride and groom will be safe from the harshness of the weather at all times. If in case there are signs of rain during the day of the event, then you’re going to be assured that there’s going to be a tent right above all of your heads.
Outdoor wedding venues are known to be absolutely beautiful, especially when you take a look at the fantastic scenery. You can even play around with the location to make sure that you take advantage of every bit that the scenery can offer. For example, you may want to order a castle-like background that’ll look absolutely stunning as the sun sets.
If you’re still on the fence about getting married outdoors, then perhaps now is the time to just make that decision and just go with it. If you do, then this will most probably a wedding ceremony worth remembering throughout generations.

Paddy McAloon, of Prefab Sprout fame, discusses his adoration of one of Stevie Wonder’s less immediately accessible masterpieces, The Secret Life of Plants, back in 1997, lovingly borrowed from Mojo (remember that?) via Sproutology. We adore the album too. Dynamite wouldn’t be too strong a word. Paddy and Stevie are the main men.
I’d always liked Stevie Wonder when I was a teenager. I remember hearing Living For The and thinking it sounded majestic, but… The Secret Life Of Plants was the first one I was moved to buy. The title would have probably had a lot to do with it, and I was tickled by the fact that it was a soundtrack, and yet he obviously wouldn’t have been able to see the accompanying film. Have I seen it? As it happens, I haven’t, but I’m sure it fits beautifully.
Round about when I bought it in 1980, I was starting to find my writer’s voice — and there was something in these songs that inspired me. You wouldn’t guess its influence by listening to early Prefab Sprout albums, but there are certain songs that are related to it in my mind. Technique off (Prefab Sprout’s first album) Swoon is a case in point. I remember feeling liberated enough to stretch myself lyrically. On Outside My Window, you can hear echoes of Isn’t She Lovely, but he’s singing to petunias rather than a baby. In fact, if you actually read most of the lyrics, they’re a bit daffy — but of course, it’s Stevie Wonder singing them, and when a voice has such musicality to it, it’s way more than the sum of its parts.
I think the phrase I’m trying to avoid here is ‘concept album’, but there’s no getting away from it when you’re talking about an album like this. The older I get, the more sense it makes to write several songs about the same subject, and the LP taught me that a good title is an important launch pad for any project. It helped legitimise that way of working for me (McAloon has written unrecorded albums about Princess Diana, Michael Jackson and the history of the universe). I just don’t think there’s the space sometimes to deal with the whole of a subject in a single song. And I love all those synth instrumentals like Venus’ Flytrap and Ecclesiastes. It was so impressive that he wasn’t afraid of what people were saying about electronic instruments taking the soul out of music — that’s also what helped make Superstition such an amazing song.
I finally got the chance to tell Stevie what I thought about him when he came into the studio to play on Nightingales in 1988. We had booked the studio next door so we could sort of get him to play on the song, and thankfully we pulled it off. What was he like? An absolute gentleman. It’s a strange position to find yourself explaining to Stevie Wonder what you want him to play on the song, and I had to ask him to play something that was not in the least bit funky. There was no condescension or anything; he just did his bit, which was brilliant, and asked us if it was OK.
A few years ago, this album re-entered my orbit in a big way. My eye problems intensified (McAloon was temporarily blinded by a condition which detached his retinas). Now obviously, there’s a colossal difference between what happened to me and someone like Stevie Wonder who has been blind his whole life, but it was a strange time. I’d just got married and was about to become a father and it seemed that this was something to really get my head around. What did I do? Well, the interesting thing is that you retreat into this interior world, and to a certain degree, your imagination cuts loose. I was listening to the radio a lot and that inspired me to make I Trawl The Megahertz (McAloon’s 2003 tone poem, narrated by the journey of a radio tuning dial).
It seems a little unfair that this was so badly received when it came out, because it’s an incredibly brave album. Some of the little chants you have there could almost be Sun Ra or something. Whenever I see this album in a charity shop, I can’t not buy it. I’ve got three or four copies of it at the moment. I’m continually handing them out to people.
– Pete Paphides, Mojo (July 1997) Last Night A Record Changed My Life.
Big thanks to Sproutology – the go-to online destination for all things Prefab Sprout.
And if you’re a heavy Stevie fan – like us – you’ll enjoy this documentary film from the Hotter Than July era back in 1981.
If Prefab Sprout are more your bag than little Stevie then watch this live performance of them from 1985 in Munich.

The week that has just ended was exceptionally rich in events. But no media were able to report it, because they had all deliberately masked certain of their number in order to protect the story that was being woven by their government. London had attempted to provoke a major conflict, but lost to Russia, President Trump and Syria.
he British government and certain of its allies, including US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, have attempted to launch a Cold War against Russia.
Their plan was to fabricate an attack against an ex-double agent in Salisbury and at the same time a chemical attack against the « moderate rebels » in the Ghouta. The conspirators’ intention was to profit from the efforts of Syria to liberate the suburbs of its capital city and the disorganisation of Russia on the occasion of its Presidential election. Had these manipulations worked, the United Kingdom would have pushed the USA to bomb Damascus, including the Presidential palace, and demand that the United Nations General Assembly exclude Russia from the Security Council.
However, the Syrian and Russian Intelligence Services got wind of what was being plotted. They realised that the US agents in the Ghouta who were preparing an attack against the Ghouta were not working for the Pentagon, but for another US agency.
In Damascus, the Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs, Fayçal Miqdad, set up an emergency Press conference for 10 March, in order to alert his fellow citizens. From its own side, Moscow had first of all tried to contact Washington via the diplomatic channels. But aware that the US ambassador, Jon Huntsman Jr, is the director of Caterpillar, the company which had supplied tunneling materials to the jihadists so that they could build their fortifications, Moscow decided to bypass the usual diplomatic channels.
The Syrian army seized two chemical weapons laboratories, the first on 12 March in Aftris, and the second on the following day in Chifonya. Meanwhile, Russian diplomats pushed the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to get involved in the criminal investigation in Salisbury.
In the House of Commons, British Prime Minister Theresa May violently accused Russia of having ordered the attack in Salisbury. According to her, the ex-double agent Sergueï Skripal and his daughter were poisoned by a military nerve gas of a type « developed by Russia » under the name of « Novitchok ». Since the Kremlin considers Russian citizens who have defected as legitimate targets, it is therefore highly likely that they ordered the crime.
« Novitchok » is known by what has been revealed by two Soviet personalities, Lev Fyodorov and Vil Mirzayanov. The scientist Fyodorov published an article in the Russian weekly Top Secret (Совершенно секретно) in July 1992, warning about the extremely dangerous nature of this product, and warning against the use of old Soviet weaponry by the Western powers to destroy the environment in Russia and make it unlivable. In October 1992, he published a second article in the News of Moscow (Московские новости) with a counter-espionage executive, Mirzayanov, denouncing the corruption of certain generals and the traffic of « Novitchok » in which they were involved. However, they did not know to whom they may have sold the product. Mirzayanov was first of all arrested for high treason, then released. Fyodorov died in Russia last August, but Mirzayanov is living in exile in the United States, where he collaborates with the Department of Defense.
Russian ex-counter intelligence officer Vil Mirzayanov defected to the United States. Now 83 years old, he comments on the Skripal affair from Boston.
« Novitchok » was fabricated in a Soviet laboratory in Nurus, in what is now Uzbekistan. During the dissolution of the Soviet Union, it was destroyed by a US team of specialists. Uzbekistan and the United States, by necessity, have therefore possessed and studied samples of this substance. They are both capable of producing it.
British Minister for Foreign Affairs Boris Johnson summoned the Russian ambassador in London, Alexandre Iakovenko. He gave him an ultimatum of 36 hours to check if any « Novitchok » was missing from their stocks. The ambassador replied that none was missing, because Russia had destroyed all of the chemical weapons it had inherited from the Soviet Union, as witnessed by the OPCW, which had drawn up a certified report.
After a telephone discussion with Boris Johnson, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in turn condemned Russia for the attack in Salisbury.
Meanwhile, a debate was under way at the UN Security Council concerning the situation in the Ghouta. The permanent representative for the US, Nikki Haley, declared – « About one year ago, after the sarin gas attack perpetrated in Khan Cheïkhoun by the Syrian régime, the United States warned the Council. We said that faced with the systematic inaction of the international community, states are sometimes obliged to act on their own. The Security Council did not react, and the United States bombed the air base from which al Assad had launched his chemical attack. We are reiterating the same warning today ».
The Russian Intelligence Services handed out documents from the US staff. They showed that the Pentagon was ready to bomb the Presidential palace and the Syrian Ministries, on the model of what it had done during the taking of Baghdad (3 to 12 April 2003).
Commenting the declaration by Nikki Haley, the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, who had always called the attack in Khan Cheïkhoun a « Western manipulation », revealed that the false information which had led the White House into error and triggered the bombing of the Al-Chaayrate air base, had in fact come from a British laboratory which had never revealed how it came to possess its samples.
The Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs published a Press release condemning a possible US military intervention, and announcing that if Russian citizens were harmed in Damascus, Moscow would riposte proportionally, since the Russian President is constitutionally responsible for the security of his fellow citizens.
Bypassing the official diplomatic channels, Russian Chief of Staff General Valeri Guerassimov contacted his US counterpart General Joseph Dunford to inform him of his fear of a false flag chemical attack in Ghouta. Dunford took this information vey seriously, and alerted US Defense Secretary General Jim Mattis, who referred the matter to President Donald Trump. In view of the Russian insistence that this piece of foul play was being prepared without the knowledge of the Pentagon, the White House asked the Director of the CIA, Mike Pompeo, to identify those responsible for the conspiracy.
We do not know the result of this internal enquiry, but President Trump acquired the conviction that his Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, was implicated. The Secretary of State was immediately asked to interrupt his official journey in Africa and return to Washington.
Theresa May wrote to the General Secretary of the United Nations accusing Russia of having ordered the attack in Salisbury, and convened an emergency meeting of the Security Council. Without waiting, she expelled 23 Russian diplomats.
Published one month and a half before the attack in Salisbury, Amy Knight’s book presents what was to become MI5’s thesis. The author herself maintains that she has not the slightest proof of what she is claiming.
At the request of President of the House of Commons Interior Committee Yvette Cooper, British Secretary for the Interior Amber Rudd announced that MI5 (Military Interior Secret Services ) is going to re-open 14 enquiries into deaths which, according to US sources, were ordered by the Kremlin.
By doing do, the British government adopted the theories of Professor Amy Knight. On 22 January 2018, this US Sovietologist published a very strange book – Orders to Kill – the Putin régime and political murder. The author, who is « the » specialist on the ex-KGB, attempts to demonstrate that Vladimir Putin is a serial killer responsible for dozens of political assassinations, from the terrorist attacks in Moscow in 1999 to the attack on the Boston Marathon in 2013, by way of the execution of Alexandre Litvinenko in London in 2006 or that of Boris Nemtsov in Moscow in 2015. However, she admits herself that there is absolutely no proof of her accusations.
The European Liberals then joined the fray. Ex-Prime Minister of Belgium Guy Verhofstadt, who presides their group in the European Parliament, called on the European Union to adopt sanctions against Russia. His counterpart at the head of their British party, Sir Vince Cable, proposed a European boycott of the World Football Cup. And already, Buckingham Palace announced that the royal family has canceled their trip to Russia.
The UK communications regulator, Ofcom, announced that it might ban the channel Russia Today as a retaliatory measure, even though RT has on no occasion violated British law.
The Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs summoned the British ambassador in Moscow to inform him that reciprocal measures would soon be indicated in retaliation for the expulsion of Russian diplomats from London.
President Trump announced on Twitter that he had fired his Secretary of State, with whom he had not yet been in contact. He was replaced by Mike Pompeo, ex-Director of the CIA, who, the night before, had confirmed the authenticity of the Russian information transmitted by General Dunford. On his arrival in Washington, Tillerson obtained confirmation of his dismissal from White House General Secretary General John Kelly.
The ex-CEO of the largest multinational in the world, ExxonMobil, thought he was untouchable. But to his great surprise, Rex Tillerson was brutally dismissed by Donald Trump. The former believed he was serving the Anglo-Saxon world, while the latter considers him to be a traitor to his country.
Ex-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is a product of the Texan middle class. He and his family worked for the US Scouts, of whom he became the National President (2010-12). Culturally close to England, he did not hesitate, when he became President of the mega-multinational Exxon-Mobil (2006-16), not only to wage a politically correct campaign favouring the acceptance of young gays into the Scouts, but also to recruit mercenaries in British Guiana. He is said to be a member of the Pilgrims Society, the most prestigious of Anglo-US clubs, presided by Queen Elizabeth II, a number of whose members were part of the Obama administration.
Like London, he thought that in order to maintain Western colonialism in the Middle East, it was necessary to favour Iranian President Cheikh Rohani against the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Khamenei. He therefore supported the 5+1 agreement.
Like the US deep state, he considered that the swing of North Korea towards the United States should remain secret, and be used to justify a military deployment which would be directed in reality against the People’s Repubic of China. He was therefore in favour of official talks with Pyongyang, but opposed to a meeting between the two heads of state.
While Washington was still in shock, Theresa May spoke once again before the House of Commons to develop her accusation, while all around the world, British diplomats spoke to numerous inter-governmental organisations in order to broadcast the message. Responding to the Prime Minister, Blairist deputy Chris Leslie qualified Russia as a rogue state and demanded its suspension from the UN Security Council. Theresa May agreed to examine the question, but stressed that the outcome could only be decided by the General Assembly in order to avoid the Russian veto.
The North Atlantic Council (NATO) met in Brussels at the request of the United Kingdom. The 29 member states drew a link between the use of chemical weapons in Syria and the attack in Salisbury. They then decided that Russia was « probably » responsible for these two events.
Jens Stoltenberg, the Secretary General of NATO, and permanent representative for the United Kingdom to the North Atlantic Council Sarah MacIntosh. She is the ex-Director of Defence and Intelligence questions to the British Minister for Foreign Affairs, a post that she handed on to Jonathan Allen, current chargé d’affaires at the UNO.
In New York, the permanent representative of Russia, Vasily Nebenzya, proposed to the members of the Security Council that they adopt a declaration attesting to their common will to shed light on the attack in Salisbury and handing over the enquiry to the OPCW in the respect of international procedures. But the United Kingdom refused any text which did not contain the expression that Russia was « probably responsible » for the attack.
During the public debate which followed, UK chargé d’affaire Jonathan Allen represented his country. He is an agent of MI6 who created the British War Propaganda Service and gives active support to the jihadists in Syria. He declared – « Russia has already interfered in the affairs of other countries, Russia has already violated international law in Ukraine, Russia has comtempt for civilian life, as witnessed by the attack on a commercial aircraft over Ukraine by Russian mercenaries, Russia protects the use of chemical weapons by Assad (…) The Russian state is responsible for this attempted murder ». The permanent representative for France, François Delattre, who, by virtue of a derogation by President Sarkozy, was trained at the US State Department, noted that his country had launched an initiative to end the impunity of those who use chemical weapons. He implied that the initiative, originally directed at Syria, could also be turned against Russia.
Russian ambassador Vasily Nebenzya pointed out that the session had been convened at London’s request, but that it is public at Moscow’s request. He observed that the United Kingdom is violating international law by treating this subject at the Security Council while keeping the OPCW out of its enquiry. He noted that if London had been able to identify the « Novotchik », it’s because it has the formula and can therefore make its own. He noted Russia’s desire to collaborate with the OPCW in the respect for international procedures.
The United Kingdom published a common declaration which had been cosigned the night before by France and Germany, as well as Rex Tillerson, who at that moment was still US Secretary of State. The text reiterated British suspicions. It denounced the use of « a neurotoxic agent of military quality, and of a type developed by Russia », and affirmed that it was « highly probable that Russia is responsible for the attack ».
The Washington Post published an op-ed piece by Boris Johnson, while the US Secretary of the Treasury, Steven Mnuchin, established new sanctions against Russia. These are not connected to the current affair, but to allegations of interference in US public life. The decree nonetheless mentions the attack in Salisbury as proof of the underhand methods of Russia.
British Secretary for Defence, the young Gavin Williamson, declared that after the expulsion of its diplomats, Russia should « shut up and go away » (sic). This is the first time since the end of the Second World War that a representative of a permanent member state of the Security Council has employed such a vocabulary in the face of another member of the Council. Sergueï Lavrov commented – « He’s a charming young man. He must want to ensure his place in History, by making shock declarations […] Perhaps he lacks education ».
In the space of four days, the United Kingdom and its allies have laid the premises of a new division of the world, a Cold War.
However, Syria is not Iraq and the UNO is not the G8 (from which Russia has been excluded because of its adhesion to Crimea and its support of Syria). The United States are not going to destroy Damascus, and Russia will not be excluded from the Security Council. After having resigned from the European Union, then having refused to sign the Chinese declaration about the Silk Road, the United Kingdom thought to improve its stature by eliminating a competitor. By this piece of dirty work, it imagined that it would acquire a new dimension and become the « Global Britain » announced by Madame May. But it is destroying its own credibility.
Who is really willing to prevent nuclear war after the Olympics break?

FH PRO Omega 3 contains the fats you need to support optimal reproductive health and fertility. Includes pharmaceutical grade EPA and DHA for maximum purity and quality.
Do you have a fear of dietary fat? If your answer is yes, it wouldn’t be surprising, given that for several decades now we have been told that eating foods that contain fat is bad for our waistlines and our hearts. This fear of dietary fat has given rise to a huge demand for low fat foods, and the aisles of the grocery store are now stocked with reduced-fat and fat-free options of just about every food imaginable. But, unfortunately, our obsession with avoiding all types of dietary fat comes at a cost for fertility. While it is certainly true that too much of the wrong types of fat, namely saturated fats and trans fats, are not good for our overall health, there are certain types of fat that are, in fact, essential to good health and optimal fertility. FH Pro Omega 3 contains the fats you need to support optimal reproductive health and fertility.
FH-Pro Omega 3 for Men and Women contains oil only from small fish, including herring, mackerel, sardines and anchovies, caught in the cold water of Iceland using sustainable fishing practices. The EPA and DHA-rich oil is then processed in a GMP (good manufacturing practices)-compliant facility to remove heavy metals and pesticides, resulting in premium quality fish oil that is pharmaceutical grade and meets or exceeds all official regulations related to environmental contaminants.
I have been trying to concieve for years and have tried different omega-3’s. This one is small and doesn’t leave a bad after taste. I wouldn’t use any other brand, I love it!
one of the better i’ve found, they are pretty small and don’t have a bad aftertaste like most others.

HOUSTON - A candidate for Harris County Civil District Court judge believes she is being specifically targeted after a series of campaign sign thefts.
One of incidents was caught on video.
Houston attorney, Michelle Fraga, is one of three candidates in the Republican Primary running for the bench in the 295th Civil District Court.
"I was shocked. I think we expect more from our judicial races," Fraga said.
The video, captured on a security camera at Northstar Auto Group, a car dealership on the North Freeway, shows, from many angles, a man walking up to the large 4-by-8 foot campaign sign, forcibly ripping it down, and leaving with it.
Fraga said she does not recognize the man seen on the video.
"He was delivering food next door," Jimmy Vitela, the dealership's own said.
Vitela, a friend of Fraga's, said he investigated the incident and procured video from a neighboring business which revealed the license plate of the car the man was driving.
The car is registered to woman who lives on the eastside.
That woman's husband pointed to their daughter's boyfriend.
Fraga said Friday she will contact the police.
Texas state law specifically prohibits tampering or unauthorized removal of campaign signs with jail time of to one year and a fine of up to $2,500.

Five Scorchers have been selected for the 15-player Australian ODI squad ahead of the Qantas Tour of India starting on February 24.
Shaun Marsh, Ashton Turner, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Jhye Richardson and Jason Behrendorff have been named in the squad.
Ashton Turner said he is honoured to be selected to represent the country in the ODI squad for the first time.
“As a kid growing up watching one day cricket here live at the WACA and on TV and now to think that I’m a part of the One Day squad travelling to India, well it’s like a dream come true," he said.
"I honestly had tingles going down my spine when I got the call yesterday, so I’m really excited about this opportunity.
"I know all the hard work starts now but I can't wait to get over."
National selector Trevor Hohns said Turner is a quality inclusion in the team.
“I’d like to congratulate Ashton Turner on his selection in the squad. Ashton has been on our radar for some time, given his performances in the shorter formats," Hohns said.
"Ashton is a smart cricketer who reads the game well and provides us with another strong batting option. He’s been in good form over the summer, and he has an opportunity to put his case forward ahead of the World Cup."
D’Arcy Short has been named in the squad as cover for Shaun Marsh who will join the squad following the birth of his second child.
Nathan Coulter-Nile provides another quality bowling option for the team, bringing good energy in the field and can also score runs in high pressure situations.

Pedestrian Safety Workshop: A Focus on Older Adults -- Watching out for us!
Control the ambient lighting in the room.
Lowering the overall lighting in the room will help make the projected image on the screen look much brighter. Dim overhead lights if possible. If the presentation room has windows, lower the blinds to reduce the amount of light in the room.
See http://www.projectorian.com/tipsonbrightness.html for more information.
The overall brightness of a projector is usually dependent on the state of its lamp. If the projector lamp is old and near the end of its life, the amount of light it is able to produce will be severely diminished. If possible, use a projector with a relatively new lamp and strong light output.
See http://www.guidesandtutorials.com/lcd-projector-bulb.html for more information.
If you have done all you can do to lower the ambient light and the projected image is still too dark, you may need to try some other adjustments. Most projectors allow some degree of adjusting the calibration settings. While it is always best to leave these adjustments to the experts, you may find yourself in a desperate situation. The easiest option to look for would be an 'automatic quality adjustment' setting in the projector's menu. This should do a good job getting the projector back to a baseline setting in case it had been adjusted in the past. If you don't have that option, or need to do more adjustments, look for menu settings that control brightness and contrast (or gamma) and adjust them to your liking.

P2Y receptors are a family of purinergic G protein-coupled receptors, stimulated by nucleotides such as ATP, ADP, UTP, UDP and UDP-glucose. To date, 12 P2Y receptors have been cloned in humans: P2Y1, P2Y2, P2Y4, P2Y5, P2Y6, P2Y8, P2Y9 (present in NCBI as GPR23), P2Y10, P2Y11, P2Y12, P2Y13 and P2Y14.
P2Y receptors are present in almost all human tissues where they exert various biological functions based on their G-protein coupling.
The gaps in P2Y receptor numbering is due to that several receptors (P2Y3, P2Y5, P2Y7, P2Y8, P2Y9, P2Y10) were thought to be P2Y receptors when they were cloned, when in fact they are not.
P2Y2 is a potential drug target for treating cystic fibrosis.
P2Y11 is a regulator of immune response, and a common polymorphism carried by almost 20% of North European caucasians give increased risk of myocardial infarction, making P2Y11 an interesting drug target candidate for treatment of myocardial infarction.
P2Y12 is the target of the anti-platelet drug clopidogrel and other thienopyridines.

Join Justin Schwartzenberger for an in-depth discussion in this video Using the exercise files, part of Angular Essential Training.
- [Instructor] I have created a github repo at the URL below that you can use to pull a copy of the project files used in this course. If you have a github account feel free to fork the repo to be able to work on your own version if you like. If not, you can still download a zip of the project code from the repo without needing a github account. To run the project locally you will need a few things installed, beginning with git. You can find git on the official site at the URL below.
If you have not used git before I would recommend checking out the course Up and Running with Git and GitHub by Ray Villalobos at the link below. The project code requires node and NPM to be installed locally. You can visit the official nodejs site at the link below for details on downloading and installation. If you are unfamiliar with NPM and how it works, I recommend you check out the course Up and Running with NPM, the Node Package Manager with Ray Villalobos.
The project code has a README.md file that contains a simple walkthrough for setting up your environment and the commands to run to work on the code, including all the stuff I just mentioned. The project code from the github repository has a branch for each video. Only one NPM install call is needed to get the node modules installed and from there you can simply check out branches to follow along with the project files for each video. If you're viewing this course on a mobile device or set-top device, that's okay.
You can still follow along by watching how I use the files. Finally, I'm going to be using Visual Studio Code during this course, but there's nothing specific to that editor in the material I will cover and you can feel free to use whatever editor you like.

Cheese is food made out of curds of milk. It is produced in a variety of flavors, textures and forms. It consists of vitamins and nutrients than make us healthy when consumed appropriately.
Basically, these are the things that we know about cheese. How it is made, where its ingredients are sourced from and how long it takes to processed is another thing.
Did you know that there is such thing as a Cheese School? How about Cheese Conference? A Cheese Convention? These things just tell us that we have not known our cheese very well.
Over the years, cheese has become a passion, a lifestyle, a livelihood to many cheese artisans and enthusiasts all over the world. One of them is based in the Philippines and I'm proud to say that I have the prividge to speak with the founder of Malagos Cheese Farm House.
In a conversation, I realized that cheese is such a magnificent food. It's hard to explain and grasp what she said but all I can remember is how the owner made me feel while she was conversing to me. She was full of vigor in trying to elaborate to me the matters of cheese. I somehow learned appreciate the nuances of cheese.
I sampled a few of her many cheese products and I have to say they are tasty. Here are a few of them.
Bread to couple the cheese during the sampling.
Malagos Cheese are available at Le Gourmet Rustans Ayala Avenue, Le Gourmet Rustans Shangri-la Mall, Puentispina Artisan Cheese Maker, Puentespina Orchids Warehouse. They are also sold at select international airbuses. How proud can I feel being a Filipino?

Time for a new approach for achieving prosperity - Michigan Future Inc.
From our inception more than a quarter century ago Michigan Future’s focus has been on achieving prosperity for all Michigan households. Recreating a Michigan that is one of the most prosperous places on the planet as we were for most of the 20th Century.
In our first-ever state policy agenda we pull together all that we have learned about the policy levers that matter most to achieving that goal. In a set of reports all that share the title A Path to Good-paying Career for all Michiganders we lay out detailed recommendations in how Michigan can best get on a path to prosperity.
But what matters most is not the specifics we lay out in the reports, but rather fundamentally changing what we are trying to accomplish with state economic policy. Starting with a new mission: a rising household income for all. And laying aside, once and for all, the notion that low-tax, so-called business-friendly states are the most prosperous. They aren’t.
What follows are ten shifts in Michigan’ approach to state economic policy that we have learned are required to meet the goal of achieving prosperity for all Michigan households. In some cases these shifts require altering our approach, in others it requires us to understand that the topic is central to economic well being, not something that is unrelated to the economy or something that is nice to do after we are prosperous rather than an essential component of achieving prosperity for all.
Making these shifts will result in a transformation in state economic policy. It will require a different approach to economic policy by both parties. But transformation is required for recreating a high-prosperity Michigan.
Shift: from a state economic policy focused on low unemployment to one that puts rising household income for all as its top priority.
Shift: from an emphasis on being a low-cost state to a state that develops, retains and attracts human capital as its core strategy for economic success.
Shift: from the view that the best social program is a job to the perspective that a good-paying job as part of a broader career path is the best social program.
Shift: from an economic strategy based on low taxes to one that recognizes taxes must be balanced with the need for public investment in lifelong learning, workplace skills, placemaking and shared prosperity.
Shift: from an education policy driven by standardized testing and first-job skill development to an education system that broadly serves residents from birth through college, building in all students 21st century rock-climbing skills: collaboration, communication, content, critical thinking, creativity and confidence.
Shift: from a crumbling 20th century infrastructure to a world-class 21st century infrastructure that includes good roads, clean drinking water, public transit, universal broadband internet access, and protection of our Great Lakes and other natural resources that define Michigan.
Shift: from a stick-based 20th century safety net to a 21st century carrot-based approach that lifts working-age adults into the labor force, helping them earn wages and benefits to pay household bills, pay for their children’s education and save for retirement.
Shift: from intolerance to welcoming all people who will increasingly be needed in a 21st century economy as Michigan’s population rapidly ages.
Shift: from imprisoning too many people and creating roadblocks that prevent them from working after they have served their time, to imprisoning fewer people, shortening sentences and removing barriers to work when they are released.
Shift: from state limitations that prevent cities and regions from controlling their own destinies to giving them the flexibility to develop, finance and implement their own quality of place strategies.

Founded in 2014, IPittytheBull has worked to “educate, advocate, and never discriminate.” Founder John Flores and his team are passionate about reversing the negative stereotypes surrounding pit bulls and other “bully” breeds. “Dog first, breed second” and “Human first, race second” are John’s rallying cries. The mission of iPittytheBull goes beyond dogs, which is why you will find John and his team working not only with animal rescues but also in schools and with the homeless.
Meet Penny Lane. She is the inspiration behind iPittytheBull. After suffering multiple concussions, John Flores couldn’t drive, couldn’t work, and could barely keep his balance. John had been seeing a therapist and one day his therapist suggested he consider getting a dog. Believing he was much too busy for a dog, John resisted. But when his best friend showed him a picture of a six-month-old blue nose pitbull in need of a new home, he let down his guard and relented. John is convinced his therapist’s five words “John, you need a dog” changed his life.
Meet Elvis. Elvis is the face of iPittytheBull and, according to John, the NICEST dog you’ll ever meet. John rescued Elvis hours before he was to be put down after seeing his face on a bulletin board while volunteering at a pet rescue. After conquering ringworm and kennel cough, Elvis finally got to meet Penny Lane, and a new adventure began. Their relationship taught John that, sometimes, the best dog trainer is another dog.
John credits Penny and Elvis with helping him find his true passion, and now his “pack” includes a cranky pot-bellied pig named “Snack Pak,” a Thai “princess” who was rescued from the meat trade, and several other four-legged friends John now calls family.
Since 2014, iPittytheBull has fostered and cared for more than 100 dogs. Now they are ready to do more! iPittytheBull is transforming their garage into an ultimate dog rescue.
The goal: to rescue overlooked, adoptable dogs regardless of any negative labels. They are making great progress toward their goal, but they need our help!
Please consider joining 4Knines in supporting iPittytheBull as they prepare a mini-sanctuary for future rescue dogs and prepare to save more lives! You can help by donating directly to the iPIttytheBully fundraiser or by purchasing an item from their wish list.

I built this boat several years ago from a Sol-Cat catamaran sailboat to test various combinations of solar photovoltaic recharging, batteries and electric trolling motors. The photos were taken on September 4th, 2005 in Palma Sola Bay, Bradenton, Florida.
The boat is 18' long with a 7' beam and draws about 8".
It is powered by an electric trolling motor (not included) and two deep cycle 12 volt batteries (also not included). Battery boxes and the motor mount are included and the boat is ready to use after adding your own trolling motor and batteries.
The boat is equipped with four, 30 watt photovoltaic solar panels mounted on the foredeck. They are wired (with Anchor Marine tinned stranded wire) in parallel (with blocking diodes on each panel), and connected to two batteries that are installed in new heavy duty plastic battery boxes. (Again, batteries not included). The boxes are large enough for large size deep cycle batteries.
The electrical power from the batteries is then run to the back of the boat through 6 gauge stranded copper wire, to the Attwood trolling motor connector.
Two colorful beach chairs are attached to the cross framing which fold down for trailering. The beach chair backs can be folded flat so they can be used for sunbathing or adjusted to suit your comfort while cruising.
The bimini top folds down for trailering or sunny cruising and the entire battery box, seat, bimini top, motor area is covered by a dacron sailcloth sheet for trailering protection.
Not shown is a small sail rig that I had planned on installing on a tabernacle just in front of the battery boxes. I will include this single sail, mast, tabernacle with the boat with some advice on how to install it. The purpose of the sail rig was to allow the boat to be sailed (slowly with the smaller dinghy type mast/sail) when cruising instead of using the electric trolling motor. The aluminum mast is small enough to be carried on board, ready for raising when needed.
I have filled in one of the centerboard slots so that only one centerboard would be used (positioned next to the skipper on the starboard hull) when sailing. I also have the original twin rudders and cross bars to use it as a sailboat, but are not needed when the electric trolling motor is being used.
This boat is perfect for lakes, ponds and any other area where the waters are fairly calm and especially where gas powered boats are not allowed such as reservoirs. It should not be used in open water where there is a strong current, wind or wave action due to the bimini top and low freeboard. It would make a great fishing or exploring boat and could also be equipped with a small gas outboard if needed (but this defeats the purpose of the quiet aspects of electric cruising). The boat moves along quite well with an electric trolling motor as shown in the photos.
The solar panels help to recharge the batteries while you are cruising but are not capable of directly powering the trolling motor. They are perfect for recharging the batteries between weekly cruises, depending on how much power you have drained from the batteries (and available sunlight). A standard battery charger could be used to recharge the batteries if needed. The solar panels and large battery bank could also be used to power your 12 volt needs at a camping site.
We have been using a MotorGuide 12 volt, 52 pound thrust electric trolling motor on this boat with great success. Since there is space for two 12 volt batteries, you can use either a 12 volt or 24 volt motor (the solar panels would need to be reformated for 24 volt).

Gimme S'more - A School Superintendent's thoughts on education, community, parenting, and more.
What can make a hippopotamus smile? What can make him walk more than a mile? It's not a party with paper hats or a case of candy that makes him fat, THAT’S NOT WHAT HIPPOS DO! Nooooo. They, ooze through the gooze without any shoes, they wade through the water till' their lips turn blue, that’s what hippos do!
Just in case you were wondering what makes a hippo smile, right?
Before you jump to the conclusion that I have lost my mind, let me explain. For some, the introductory lines of this blog will ring familiar. They are the lyrics to one of many songs that will echo through acres of forests, hillsides, and riverbanks during the months of June, July and August. These songs will be sung by a passionate army of young children who, along with their mentors and idols, will be participating in a ritual cherished by the inner child in so many of us--SLEEPAWAY CAMP!
It’s February, which means families across the country are securing their spots at one of over 8,400 U.S. sleepaway camps and over 5,600 certified day camps. Have you reserved your spot yet? If not, let me explain why I think you should.
As a parent of three and a former camper, camp counselor, and camp director, I cannot impress upon parents enough the meaningful impact summer camp can have on children. In my parent education classes, I often refer to sleepaway camp as the single most important and impactful experience a parent can provide their child. For most children, sleepaway camp develops the skills and mindsets parents so earnestly want to impart upon their children and does so in ways that we parents are sometimes unable to do. So why am I such a passionate advocate for sleepaway camp?
It’s easy for a parent to forget that our number one responsibility is to prepare our children to LEAVE US. It’s counterintuitive, really. We spend so much of our lives connecting with these little beings that grow up so quickly. We offer them all we have. In them, we place our hopes, dreams, and aspirations. Only to have them roll their eyes when we perse our lips for a kiss as they leave the car and say, “Gross, mom. My friends will see. Ugh!” As our kids grow older they need us less. And they should. If you want to measure your success as a parent (and I don’t necessarily recommend that you do), consider how well you are preparing your children to leave you.
Sleepaway camp is the single most important resource that I have found that helps prepare our children for healthy individuation. Individuation is a psychological term (coined by Carl Jung) that describes the process of self-actualization. In basic terms, a child’s individuation begins when he/she starts to see him/herself as separate from the parent. As much as we might not feel comfortable with the idea of our child separating more from us, it is an essential part of the process of a child becoming a healthy adult. At sleepaway camp, our children are given the opportunity to see themselves through a lens separate from their parents. The very nature of spending several days and nights without parents in a safe and controlled environment allows children to expand their view of themselves in relationship to the world around them. Their identities away from us are allowed space to grow.
Of all of the gifts sleepaway camp provides us parents, it’s personal responsibility and independence that are often the most gratifying. After years as a camp counselor and director, the response I most often heard from parents after their children returned from camp was appreciation that their child was helping out more around the house. Parents would comment that they didn’t have to ask their child to take their dishes to the sink, rinse them off, and put them in the dishwasher...it just happened! Parents were shocked to find their child had actually made their bed in the morning.
At most sleepaway camps (and if this is NOT the case for your child’s camp, I would encourage you to find another one), personal responsibility is the cornerstone of daily life. Daily chore charts that require every camper to participate include jobs like: wait the tables in the dining hall, wash dishes, deliver mail, vacuum, collect and empty garbage, etc. At many camps, the kids are responsible for cleaning their own bathrooms. YES, even toilets. My favorite job to be assigned was “super spatula.” This job entails scraping all of the food off of the plates at mealtime onto one main plate and then transferring the “ORT” (or leftover food morsels) to the “ort bucket,” the contents of which would be fed to the pigs at the camp’s farm.
Our children can be forgiven for thinking that the world they live in is universal. After all, many of our children haven’t had the opportunity to see much of the world during their young years. Sleepaway camp, particularly those that attempt to attract children and staff from different cities, regions, and backgrounds, provide our children with new and unique experiences and the opportunity to navigate and negotiate social situations that involve people who are different from them and the friends they interact with every day. Often, many sleepaway camps will hire staff from one of several international staffing agencies, thus diversifying the experience even more. Camp program staff design clinics, courses, and experiences that are likely to be novel for the campers, thus expanding a camper’s view on what he/she might enjoy or be good at. I have had the good fortune of observing scores of campers find new hobbies, interest, and passions from just one experience at camp. I know campers who have become chefs from having participated in outdoor cooking classes or children who have become veterinarians as a result of attending horse/ranch camp.
With peers: Ask any adult who has spent time as a camper or staff at a summer camp and they will most likely have close friends today that they met at camp, as well as an army of others that may not be as close, but whose sleepaway camp bond keeps them connected for a lifetime. Children learn not only how to build and maintain relationships with peers, but they also learn the VALUE of deep, supportive friendships. Especially as kids get older, I find that they appreciate having a world outside of school where friends “accept them for who they are.” At camp, children are able to let go of so much more of the pressures of “fitting in” and “measuring up” because they are in a new space. Not to mention, most sleepaway camps provide a technology-free environment for children to cultivate friendship the old-fashioned way--through conversation and shared experience--NOT through social media.
With non-parent adults: In an age when the pressures and distractions our children face are only increasing, one of the best defenses against childhood and teen depression, anxiety, and self-harm is a supportive adult outside the family that your child knows they can turn to. In school settings we ensure that each child has at least one adult on campus they know they can talk to, and a camp experience widens the net of available confidantes for our children. As our kids individuate, their bonds with other adults become more important. They will value and look up to role models they trust, and those trusted adults become part of the village that helps raise our children. As a “retired” counselor, I can’t tell you how many now-grown campers still reach out to me for support, advice, or just a friendly and non-judgmental ear. It is a privilege for me to me held in that esteem, but also a helpful relationship for them as they navigate their way through young adulthood. I know the counselors whom I most respected held that role for me and my life is better for it.
With YOU: Before you worry that sending your child off to meet and bond with other adults will diminish your own relationship, fear not. Consider that a child whose parents trust them enough to 1) send them to camp and 2) encourage them to seek mentorship outside the parental relationship feels valued and supported, and will actually respect you more for that freedom. I find that as children grow up, the parents with whom they feel closest are the ones who have learned to loosen the strings appropriately. We want the best for our kids, and helping them grow a network of close adults who can provide advice and support is one of the greatest gifts we can give them. Believe me, they will not forget about you – they will love you for the experience!
When I was a child, my friends and I were free to ride our bikes to the far ends of the earth (or at least that what it felt like) to discover our own adventures. We explored the outdoors with a lightness and whimsy that is often frowned upon today. Even though our neighborhoods are much safer than they have ever been, providing the freedom for children to explore the great outdoors feels too risky a venture for most parents. And even if we did provide that freedom, the draw of technology or the scheduling of numerous sports and activities has our children indoors and/or booked most of the time.
Sleepaway camp is a ticket outdoors without the worry of putting children’s safety at risk.
You don’t need me to remind you of the myriad of benefits being outdoors has on our health and wellbeing. There’s plenty of great research out there to tell you that being outdoors can do wonders to your body, mind, and spirit. However, maybe we all need to be reminded that our children need it, too. Desperately. And if you are like me and live in the middle of massive suburbia with all of its pressure, stress, noise, and competing interests, then we share an even greater need to get out in the great outdoors. Sleepaway camp provides this necessary connection to the natural world for our children.
Below is a graphic published by the American Camp Association that highlights some of the benefits campers, parents, and staff experience from camp.
I imagine that all this sleepaway camp talk has got you wondering a few things. Let me take a stab at answering the most likely questions you may have.
I am also a big supporter of day camps. In fact my own children attend several day camps in our area and love them. There are so many great options with specific sports, music, art or hobby foci. There are also more globally focused camps that try to address the teaching of innovation, adventure, or making skills. Day camps are a gradual entre to sleepaway camp, too. All that said, there is some developmental growth and experience that only sleepaway camp can provide. In my book, including at least one week of sleepaway camp in the summer plans, along with a smattering of day camps and family time is a great recipe for summer growth and respite.
How do I know my child is ready for sleepaway camp?
Begin with day camp experiences at least one year before signing up for sleepaway camp.
If possible, select a sleepaway camp that is near to your home when your child is younger. For those in the Bay Area, there are many options in the Santa Cruz Mountains and surrounding areas.
A one-week session is usually the perfect starting point for a new sleepaway camper.
Start talking about sleepaway camp early. My children hear about my sleepaway camp experiences all the time. Last summer we visited my former sleepaway camp in preparation for one of my children to begin this summer. He has been talking about starting ever since we visited.
Attend a family camp at your favorite sleepaway facility. Most camps properties provide family camp options during the off season. These are great opportunities to acclimate your children to sleepaway camp.
What are indicators of quality?
I’m going likely disappoint a lot of people by not recommending any specific camp. It’s not my job to presuppose a family’s needs and values; I also don’t want to leave any quality program out of my recommendations. That said, there are some great resources out there to help you identify a great camp for your child.
First get recommendations from people you trust. There is no better indicator of quality than the recommendation of friends, neighbors, and colleagues. Second, you want to make sure that the camp you choose is accredited. Accreditation ensures that camps have the proper facility maintenance, staff training and support, safety plans and measures, and philosophical approach. The American Camp Association is the largest accreditation organizations in the U.S., but there are others. To ensure that the camp is a right fit, you can also read online reviews and take a visit. Camps welcome parent visitors to their facilities to discover more; take them up on that welcome.
Sending your child to camp, especially the first time, with a friend is a great way to ease the anxiety that they--or more likely, you--have about being away from home for an extended period. Homesickness is real for many kids, even the most well adjusted and outgoing. Attending with a friend can help create just enough comfort, allowing kids, especially the younger ones, to adjust quickly to being away from home. Often, after the first experience with a friend, the childhood fears dissipate greatly. While attending with a friend is a great strategy, I do recommend providing at least occasional camp options that don’t always include the same group of kids your children hang out with at school or in sports/scouts/church, etc. Having an experience that challenges children to get out of their comfort zones is valuable; attending sleepaway camp with a team and coach they are always with is great, but there is growth in providing experiences with children and staff with whom a camper is unfamiliar.
What if I can’t afford camp?
Many camps offer financial aid and scholarships, as well as discounts. If you are interested in sending your child to sleepaway camp, but worry about the cost, contact the camp you’re interested in attending and ask about financial assistance. Another strategy for managing costs is to get your child excited about sleepaway camp and use earning money toward camp as an incentive or a substitute for expensive gifts at birthday and holiday times. Having a birthday party? Instead of receiving a dozen toys as gifts that will get broken and lost within two weeks, ask folks to donate to your child’s sleepaway camp fund. Many faith-based organizations and local community groups also sponsor summer camp experiences that are low or no cost. If you have the will to send your child to sleepaway camp, there are ways to make it happen.
All this talk about camp makes me nostalgic for my camp days. Nature hikes, horseback rides, all-camp capture the flag, campouts under the stars, the sounds of a dozen hammers pounding leather, S’mores and camp songs by the campfire as fireflies light up the night sky. I’m not sure what can make a hippopotamus smile, but I am sure there’s nothing like belting the song out at the top of my lungs with new and lifelong friends.
If my words have piqued your interest, you might want to sign your child up soon. Spots often fill up in January and February for the summer at most of the best sleepaway camps. Give your camp a call today and feel free to let me know how it goes once the summer wraps up.
What can make a hippopotamus smile? What can make him walk more than a mile? It’s not a tune on the old violin, or listenin’ to the whistlin’ wind. THAT’S NOT WHAT HIPPO'S DO! Noooo. They, ooze through the gooze with batting shoes, they wade through the water till' their lips turn blue, that's what hippos do! Yes, THAT’S what hippos do!

While millions of Americans receive vaccinations each year, a vocal segment of the population is opposed to all immunizations--some even refusing to get mandated vaccinations for their children. In The Vaccine Controversy, Dr. Kurt Link--a specialist in internal medicine--explores that paradox and provides a history of vaccine development, including such possible future vaccines as those being developed in the hope of immunizing against HIV. A strong supporter of vaccination programs, Link explains the immune system and how it works, as well as outlining the various types of vaccines (including the efficacy and potential toxicity of each). Appendices spell out current medical recommendations for vaccines, describe the legal issues involved in decisions to vaccinate or not, and explain the workings of clinical trials where work is done to determine if a vaccine is effective or not, or has any remarkable side effects.
Our hunter-gatherer prehistoric ancestors had hard lives and suffered many injuries, and probably had occasional sporadic illnesses, but they were not subject to infectious plagues and epidemics.
Infectious disease began to appear with the shift to an agrarian society, which included close contact with domestic and other animals. Transmission of infectious agents from animals to man began soon after and continues to this day.
The rise of towns, with its crowding of people together has made possible the transmission of infections from human to human. When the number of cases passes a critical threshold, like kindling erupts into a blaze, an epidemic erupts in the community. If the infection is highly contagious, and if there is travel in and out of the affected community, the epidemic may spread to become a worldwide pandemic. When a disease persists in a population for a long time, the disease is said to be endemic.
The “common source” epidemic is not transmitted from person to person but arises from a common source such as contaminated water.
The number of persons infected and the duration of the epidemic depends on several factors, including the ease of transmission, the incubation period and the proportion of susceptible and immune persons. When the number of immune survivers increases sufficiently, the chain of transmission is broken, and the epidemic stops, even though there are still many susceptible persons. This concept goes by the unfortunate name of herd immunity. The goal of vaccination has been just that: to immunize enough of the population so that transmission can not take place. A new goal is disease eradication, achieved only in the case of smallpox.
The attempt to prevent disease by immunization has a long history. The first well-documented attempts were in seventeenth-century China.

Google Domain sites will be hosted on Google’s own DNS servers – which the company says guarantees a quick response time -- and users will be able to buy and sell their domains without being charged extra for private registration. They’ll also be able to create up to 100 email addresses and 100 customized subdomains.
The company says users who purchase or transfer a domain to Google Domains can create their websites through one of their partnering website builders -- Shopify, Squarespace, Weebly and Wix.
Through Domains, the tech giant is taking aim at GoDaddy, which filed for an initial public offering earlier this month, and other domain-name registration companies.
The move also extends Google's push to serve small businesses. About 55 percent of small businesses still don’t have their own website, which hurts their growth and job growth, according to a study cited by Google.
Earlier this month, Google released its My Business dashboard to help small businesses manage their web presence more easily across Google’s products from a centralized dashboard.
