There are times when you won’t just be putting your belongings in storage for a few days, but for a few months or more. If you’re currently looking for long term storage solutions, you also need to think about how you’re going to treat your storage unit. Are you going to put your items in there and not look at them for a few months? Or are you putting items into storage that you’ll still need access to?
If you need to be able to have access to your stored belongings, there are a few things you should know. We’re here to share our long term storage hacks that will help you get the most out of your storage unit. Read on so you can avoid some of the dumb mistakes we’ve made in the past!
If you can, invest in plastic bins to store your items, especially if they’re going to be low to the ground. Mice have a nasty habit of getting into storage units, and they’ll eat plastic bags, cardboard, fabric, you name it. To avoid finding a little critter nest in our stuff when you go to unpack it later, make sure to use plastic, airtight bins whenever possible.
Will you be needed access to your stored items at various times? Then think about this before you shove as much as possible into your storage unit. Plan a layout that allows you to access anything if you need to. For instances, consider including several aisles in your unit so you have access to more things without having to remove or rearrange your stuff.
It’s not a bad idea to have multiple locks for your unit. For companies where you provide your own lock, consider getting a combination lock instead of a regular key lock. These are harder to hack into and will keep your things safe while in storage. And if you’re storing valuables, consider putting a safe or other lockable unit within the storage space so there’s an extra hurdle for would-be robbers.
So, you’ve fit everything into your storage unit. Great. Now what the hell went into each box? If you don’t have a great visual memory, then you’ll need to include labels on each box so eliminate any guesswork and unnecessary unpacking later on.
If you’re storing furniture or cookware, make sure to thoroughly clean it before you store it. This will prevent any mold or mildew growth within your storage unit – and trust us, you don’t want to deal with any of that.
Keep your things safe from bugs, rodents, and moisture by using pallets. Place pallets on the ground first so your belongings are a few inches off the ground. Then, incase water does leak into your unit, at least you’ll have a few inches of clearance before any of your stuff is damaged. Similarly, shelves will not only let you put more into your storage unit, but they’ll keep mice and other critters from gaining access to sensitive objects.
If you are really in it for the long haul, make a master inventory list so you know exactly what is in your storage unit, where it is, when it was put there, and how much of it there is. This is also helpful if you’re cycling things in and out of your storage unit, or allowing family members to keep some of their belongings in there as well. The inventory list gives extra security since you’ll know when something was removed, who took it, and whether you should be tearing your whole unit apart trying to find your mom’s old jewelry (when in fact it’s been in your garage the whole time).
UNITS Moving and Portable Storage offers portable storage in Castro Valley, portable storage in Emeryville, and the entire East Bay Area.

New York City is everything you expect it to be: blazing lights, stellar museums, urban parks, grand bridges, buzzy restaurants, and even buzzier nightclubs – all framed by the world’s most iconic skyline. New Yorkers often joke that their city is the centre of the universe and after a visit here, you may be inclined to agree. Here are the best things to do, what to eat and where to stay in New York City.
Without the Empire State Building, would all those famous cinematic love scenes – An Affair to Remember, Sleepless in Seattle – be as memorable? Probably not. Hop on one of the speedy elevators to the top of this Art Deco beauty for stunning 360-degree views – on a clear day, you can see five states: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. However, for the best view of the Empire State Building itself, head 14 streets up to Top of the Rock at 30 Rockefeller Plaza.
Suburbia has its backyards, but New York has Central Park. Spend a day wandering this enormous park, with its sloping lawns, Frisbee games, fragrant gardens, elm-shaded Mall, and beloved Strawberry Fields memorial to John Lennon, and you’ll understand why this isn’t just the geographical heart of Manhattan, but also its emotional one.
If you visit one museum in New York, make it this one. The epic Met traces over 5,000 years of art history, from the Egyptian Temple of Dendur to the Astor Chinese Garden Court to paintings by Van Gogh, Manet, Monet, Picasso, Degas, Warhol, and many (many) more.
The Brooklyn Bridge can claim plenty of superlatives: when it opened in 1883, it was the first steel suspension bridge in the world, and also the longest. These days, it’s one of the most photographed structures in New York – and the best way to do so is by crossing it on foot. For the greatest effect, walk it from the Brooklyn side – the Manhattan skyline glitters and changes with every step you take, framed by the bridge’s signature cables.
The collective refrain after 9/11 was “never forget.” The 9/11 Memorial & Museum is ensuring just that. Built on the footprints of the original Twin Towers, this profound memorial and museum pays tribute to those who lost their lives on 9/11, while also exploring the continued global impact of the tragedy.
Unfolding on four leafy acres in Fort Tyron Park, The Cloisters Museum and Gardens offer a breezy counterpoint to the go-go-go pace of the city. Stroll impeccably reconstructed medieval cloisters, view the Flemish tapestries The Hunt of the Unicorn, and then take in views of the mighty Hudson River.
Travel the world – via the restaurants of Queens. This borough is one of the most diverse urban areas in the world, and in the neighborhood of Astoria, you can feast on everything from traditional Greek and Italian to Vietnamese, Brazilian, Ecuadorian, Balkan, Palestinian, and beyond. Top off dinner at the Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden, an al fresco Czech bar from 1910.
Head to Manhattan’s east side and look up: dangling high above is the Roosevelt Island Tramway, one of the only commuter aerial tramways in North America. It’s also the cheapest view in town – for the price of a subway ride, you can gaze out at the East River, flanked by a forest of skyscrapers.
Never underestimate the allure of nostalgia. Deno’s Wonder Wheel has been twirling in Coney Island, amid the sticky smell of cotton candy and legendary Nathan's hot dogs, since 1920. Bigger and faster attractions have risen up all around it, but it’s this creakily low-tech family-run ferris wheel that makes the memories.
New York has plenty of hotels on offer for pretty much every budget and taste – it's estimated that there are just under 500 hotels in Manhattan alone. The New Yorker, A Wyndham Hotel is definitely worth considering – a storied Manhattan icon that's been at the backdrop of pretty much everything that's ever happened in New York. Inside you'll find lush Art Deco interiors and comfortable rooms that offer unparalleled city views.
If you're after something a bit more trendy and budget-friendly, Moxy Times Square is at the thick of it all. This hotel succesfully combines the urban vibe of subway tiles with earthy blonde wood boards and chic accessories. The rooms are small even by New York standards, however, the hotel is two blocks away from Times Square and within walking distance of the most famous Midtown attractions.
For a completely different take on New York City, head over to Brooklyn's coolest neighbourhood Williamsburg and check in at The Williamsburg Hotel. There's a roof terrace with sweeping views of Manhattan, loft-like rooms with enviable bathrooms and plenty of bars, restaurants, one-of-a-kind boutiques and coffee shops nearby.
New York has some of the finest food in the world, from shabby dollar pizza slice shops to some of the best restaurants in the world. Why not try to sample a bit of both during your visit?
On the street food front, there are several unmissable icons as legendary as the city itself. Start with Katz's Deli and order their famous pastrami sandwich, hit Dominique Ansel's bakery for a cronut (a croissant-doughnut pastry), cross the Brooklyn Bridge and stop at Luke's Lobster for the best lobster roll of your life and head out to Coney Island for Nathan's original hot dogs. Obviously, pizza is a big deal in New York, however you have to know the best places where to eat it. There's Lucali in Brooklyn as well as Totonno's and Grimaldi's in Coney Island while in Manhattan seek out Joe's Pizza or Lombardi's.
On the restaurant front, one of the world's best restaurants Eleven Madison Park offers an unforgettable albeit pricey tasting menu. Fans of Netflix's Ugly Delicious shouldn't miss a visit to one of David Chang's establishments (our favourite is Momofuku noodle bar – his first location) and Balthazar, a long standing culinary institution popular among locals, serves everything from great breakfasts to excellent Parisian-style bistro dinners.
Sip your way through New York’s fragrant wine country at Long Island’s eastern tip, which lies 87 miles east of New York City. Viniculture pioneers launched the first vineyards in the 1970s, and since then, this region has evolved into New York’s mini version of Napa Valley. Sample small-batch wines at family-owned vineyards like Bedell Cellars and Coffee Pot Cellars – and then bring home a bottle or five.
On a Hudson Valley excursion, it’s all about the journey and the destination. Hop aboard the train in Grand Central for the 80-minute ride north, where you’ll be treated to calming views of the Hudson River. Your stop: the arty town of Beacon, which is presided over by Dia:Beacon, one of the largest spaces for contemporary art in the country, built in a former Nabisco factory.
Bright-green hills, shaded paths, a grove of swaying hammocks – and all less than ten minutes away from Manhattan by ferry. The 172-acre Governors Island, which sits in the centre of New York harbor, has become the city’s favorite summer playground. Soak up the sun, go biking and hiking, and check out superb art shows and festivals, including the wildly popular summertime Jazz Age Lawn Party, complete with flapper dresses, moonshine, and Michael Arenella and his Dreamland Orchestra.
New York City is a major US hub, with three international airports: John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport in Queens, and Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey. There are no direct flights to LaGuardia from the UK, however, the tickets with a stopover can sometimes be cheaper than flying direct into JFK or Newark. All three have multiple transport options into the city centre, including subway, train, bus, taxi, and ride-share services. JFK airport taxis offer a flat rate of $50-$70 (£39-£54) for all journeys to Manhattan. If flying into Newark, you can either enjoy the scenic route on the Express Bus or hop on an Amtrak service that'll take you to Penn Station and Madison Square Garden in around 20 minutes.
New York’s yellow cabs, contrary to popular opinion, aren’t that expensive – an average journey in Manhattan will cost you around $10 (£7.80), however, the streets are busy and you might get stuck in traffic for a while. The subway system is a much quicker and cost-efficient way of getting around – a single ride on the subway or the bus will cost you $2.75 (£2.15) and $32 (£24.96) will buy you an unlimited 7-day pass. CityMapper is a very helpful app to get before your trip as it’ll tell you the best and the quickest routes, it also has real-time service updates and is generally extremely dependable.
Check into: The Williamsburg Hotel. Conveniently located next to a subway station (L trains take 15 minutes to Union Square Station that offers connections to pretty much everywhere in Manhattan), this hotel is perfect for collapsing in a comfy bed after a day of sightseeing. It’s effortlessly cool and trendy with leather headboards and mismatched crockery, much like the rest of Williamsburg.
Wander through: Central Park. A true New York icon, you can’t miss out on a stroll down The Mall, surrounded by the lush greenery of Central Park. From Strawberry Fields and the Bethesda Terrace and Fountain to the Bow Bridge and the view of The Plaza hotel from the Gapstow Bridge, Central Park is everything you expect it to be.
Grab lunch from: The Halal Guys. What started out as a New York City hot dog cart, is now one of the best-regarded street food chains in New York. The food is big, greasy and delicious and the hour-long line at their W 53 St & 7 Ave cart is rewarded by a spit-roasted lamb on basmati rice with the creamiest white sauce.
Marvel at the view from: Top of the Rock. There is no better view of New York than from Top of the Rock. Central Park, the Empire State Building, Manhattan’s midtown and the towering skyscrapers of downtown are all in the palm of your hand.
Walk through history at: Empire State Building. Even though the views are much better from Top of the Rock, it’s worth paying the Empire State Building a visit as well. You’ll get a chance to peek at the magnificent Art Deco interiors and walk through the building that has defined the Manhattan skyline since the 1930s.
See the lights at: Times Square. It’s bright, it’s loud, it’s crazy and it’s well worth visiting once. A definite tourist trap, it’s swarming with visitors from everywhere in the world but there’s something undoubtedly magical about standing in the middle of it all and being blinded by the lights.
Dine at: Rosemary’s. Vegetables sourced from Rosemary’s rooftop garden and their farm in Hudson Valley are transformed into a delightful eggplant caponata, sweets beets with bitter greens and buttery salty radishes. All of this is accompanied by silky pasta dishes, crispy skin salmon and pork and a classic bistecca (Florentine steak).
Listen to world-class jazz and drink at: The Village Vanguard. Everyone who’s been anyone in the jazz world has played on the stage of this legendary New York institution. Not much has changed since the 1930’s when the club opened – the tables are tightly packed, the music is loud and the drinks pleasantly boozy.
Have a brunch at: Katz’s Deli. There’s nothing like a juicy pastrami sandwich to soothe the consequences of last night. Prefer a Reuben? This classic here comes with gloriously melted Swiss cheese and unbeatable Russian and sauerkraut combo.
Be moved by: 9/11 Memorial and Museum. A beautiful yet poignant reminder of what happened on the morning of 11 September 2001, the memorial and museum documents the day that changed the course of modern history.
Explore: Lower Manhattan. Financial district’s streets, where sky-high skyscrapers sit next to historic buildings like the Federal Hall, are unlike anywhere else in the world. Walk Wall Street, see the New York Stock Exchange and imagine miles of tunnels loaded with gold bars beneath you at the Federal Reserve. Don’t forget to look down a narrow side street with steam rising from the subway to feel as if you’re in Gotham.
Grab a dollar slice from: Joe’s Pizza. Dollar slices are a big deal in New York – you’ll see many walk-in pizza places on street corners where people of all walks of life line up to grab a hot, saucey slice of cheesy goodness and devour it right there at the counter. Not all dollar slices, however, are created equal. It’s the classic Italian crusts and more than 40-year-old recipes and methods that people keep coming back for at Joe’s.
Walk: The High Line. An exemplary project of repurposing old spaces within a city to create something new and exciting, The High Line has been a big draw in the Meatpacking District since it opened in 2009. Created on a former New York Central Railroad, it’s a green oasis in the city, running from the Whitney Museum of American Art up to Hudson Yards. You can join it at various points along the route and enjoy the serenity high above the hustle and bustle of the streets.
Slurp noodles at: Momofuku noodle bar. If you enjoy a bowl of ramen and the soft, pillowy goodness that is a bao bun, you owe a lot to David Chang – the chef who brought these foods into the mainstream over a decade ago. Stop by Momofuku’s original location and order a bowl of pork ramen and Chang’s signature pork belly buns. Check opening times before going as the noodle bar is closed between lunch and dinner services.
Have an artsy evening at: The Met and The Guggenheim. Two museums, among the world’s best, sit almost side by side in the Upper East Side so it would be almost rude to skip them. The Met is the home to such masterpieces as Washington Crossing the Delaware by Emanuel Leutze and works by Georgia O’Keeffe, Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet while The Guggenheim, apart from being an architectural masterpiece, houses works by Picasso, Warhol and Cézanne.
Feel like a film star at: Bemelmans Bar. Hidden away at The Carlyle below a 24-karat gold leaf-covered ceiling is a bar reminiscent of the Roaring Twenties and the old-school New York glam. Named after the creator of the children’s book Madeline, Ludwig Bemelmans, whose illustrations adorn the walls, the bar’s signature cocktail Old Cuban is a heady mix of rum, Angostura bitters, lime and muddled mint.
Grab a coffee from: Brooklyn Roasting Company. Brooklyn is peppered with hipster coffee shops serving perfectly brewed cups of carefully sourced coffee and this company takes their role as coffee ambassadors very seriously. Pop in for a leisurely Sunday morning brew to set you up for the day.
Wander around: DUMBO. Once a warehouse district, DUMBO’s cobblestone streets are lined with one-of-a-kind boutique stores, high-end restaurants and trendy cafés. You’ll want to stop at the corner of Water & Washington to snap that iconic shot of the Manhattan Bridge framed by the red brick warehouses.
Snack on a lobster roll from: Luke’s Lobster. Have you ever dreamed of a lobster roll so full of sweet lobster meat drenched in lemon butter that the bun can hardly hold it all in? Luke’s Lobster is where to get it from, the Brooklyn Bridge backdrop on the side.
Marvel at Manhattan from: Brooklyn Bridge Lookout. There’s something special about the light in New York and Manhattan’s glistening skyscrapers across the water is one of those iconic New York vistas you’ve just got to see.
Walk across: the Brooklyn Bridge. Probably one of the most famous bridges in the world, the Brooklyn Bridge is not only a top tourist attraction but also an engineering masterpiece. The walk across the East River will take you about half an hour, photo stops included.
Take in: Chinatown, Little Italy and NoLIta. The social history of New York, and that of the United States as well, has very much been reflected in the four waves of immigration since the late 1700s and it’s impossible to visit New York without tracing the history through the city’s neighbourhoods and food – luckily, these are especially distinctive in Manhattan.
Don’t miss out on lunch at: Xi’an Famous Foods. From a family-run stall in a basement of a Queen’s supermarket specialising in Chinese dishes from the city of Xi’an in northwestern China this has exploded into a much-loved chain that New Yorkers can’t get enough of. You’ll have trouble picking between a stewed pork belly meat sandwiched between two crispy slices of flatbread, one of the intensely-flavoured hand-ripped noodle dishes or the classic boiled Chinese dumplings.
See Manhattan from a different perspective aboard: Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises. A boat trip is really a must in New York and Circle Line offers a selection of 1-,2- or 3-hour cruises. The 1.5-hour long Landmarks Cruise is perfect for seeing the best bits – Ellis Island, Liberty Island and Statue of Liberty as well as the Hudson River, the East River bridges and, of course, Manhattan itself.
Dine at: Peter Luger. Celebrate your last night in New York with an all-American classic – steak. First opened in 1887, when Williamsburg was far from the trendy neighbourhood it is today, the restaurant has earned a Michelin star since and serves up the most flavoursome steaks and sides.
Savour your last night in: Williamsburg. Currently New York’s most exciting neighbourhood, Williamsburg has everything you need to enjoy a night out in town. Take your pick between rooftop bars like Westlight and The Ides, trendy wine bar The Counting Room or go all out on sake and oysters at Bar Akariba.
New York CityPASS costs $126 (£98.36) for adults and $104 (£81.18) for children ages 6-17. Each New York CityPASS ticket includes prepaid admission to six New York City attractions, including The Empire State Building, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and 9/11 Memorial & Museum. Find more information on the CityPASS website.

People who have pets love the animals like they are a part of the family. They do all that they can to provide protection to the pets. But, every once in a while, pet owners are in need of pet walking services. Although they do not always want to, they have to leave behind their pets when they leave the town. In such situations, people leave their pet cats and dogs in kennels and catteries. Even if they do not leave the pet behind alone at home or in pet houses, it is not always possible to take the pets out for regular walks. There may even be mistakes about their food intakes, and these are the last things pet owners want.
A large number of people are taking up dog walking business in cities to help out the distressed and busy pet owners. For dogs, regular walks are very important. This is a right form of exercise for them and is a good way of keeping the dogs fit. It helps them to get out of the house and get fresh air. Therefore, dog walking is something that the owners do not want their dogs to miss out on. But, it sometimes becomes difficult for the owners to take their dogs out. This maybe because of their work that keeps them away from the house when it is the right time for a walk on a regular basis, or when they are out on tours or vacations.
Providers of dog walking services take the dogs out for daily walks and leave the owners stress free. Dog walking service providers, who pay regular visits to the animals, also make sure that they have the right intake of food and medicines, and have everything that makes them comfortable. As a result, dogs can stay in the homely and familiar environment. Even on a regular basis, dogs get regular walking exercises. Dog lovers now find that dog walking is a very lucrative business.
Cats, as pets, can be very moody and fussy. Especially when it comes to food, cats can get annoyed and upset if there is any kind of mess up. Moreover, cats are needy animals that need the attention and care all the time, which may not always be possible. Cat feeding services are provided by cat sitters. They take care of the exact diet of the animal. They also save the cats from being caged up with other angry and upset cats in the catteries.
A PawsativelyPurrrfect Pet Sitting Service provider makes pet sitting services available in Las Vegas, Henderson etc. at a very cheap cost.

Ahhh. I love yarn shopping. My local yarn store (LYS) is a haven of creativity and community. The owner greets me by name, inquires how my last project turned out, and offers inspiration as she winds my skeins into the soft balls you see here.
The frothy vanilla yarn is a blend of wool and alpaca - barely processed and undyed - that will be a new, huge, blanket-like shawl for me. But first, my man requested a new hat as his old one shrank in the wash. He's patiently waited while I've prioritized other projects. Four years later, I'd say he deserves a new hat - hopefully before Winter's end. It's a superwash wool in "Shire" green. (I can never resist a Tolkein reference!) I deemed the superwash a good investment for my modern man who does his own laundry.

With raw materials rallying on escalating political tensions across the globe and economic growth remaining strong, the bank’s analysts including Jeffrey Currie doubled down on their “overweight” recommendation. They reiterated a view that commodities will yield returns of 10 per cent over the next 12 months, according to an April 12 note.
The Bloomberg Commodity Index is up more than 2.5 per cent this week, the most in two months. Another raw materials gauge, the S&P GSCI Index, has rallied over 5 per cent this week to levels last seen in 2014.
Brent crude, the benchmark for more than half the world’s oil, has risen 7.8 per cent this week to US$72.33 by 11:01 a.m. in London on Friday. U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures are up 8.6 per cent on the week at US$67.38 a barrel in New York as the escalating tensions have taken investor focus away from concern that an American crude boom will undermine OPEC’s output curbs to clear a global glut.
The missiles fired at Saudi Arabia by pro-Iranian Houthi rebels in Yemen and the prospect of U.S. retaliation against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad — whose forces are backed by both Russia and Iran — for a suspected chemical weapons attack raises the risk of supply disruptions, Goldman said.
There’s also increasing concern whether the U.S. will pull out of a deal between Iran and global powers that eased sanctions on the OPEC nation in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program. The appointment of John Bolton as National Security Advisor and Mike Pompeo as Secretary of State, both vocal Iran hawks, has significantly increased the odds of sanctions being reintroduced by President Donald Trump’s administration, Goldman said.
If that happens, European refiners may cut imports from Iran, given their exposure to the U.S., either through assets or product trade flows, according to the bank. “The EU accounts for 25 per cent of Iran’s 2.6 million barrel-a-day crude exports but we believe the key for the global oil market is whether these flows will be curtailed rather than simply redirected to Asia,” the analysts wrote.
In the aluminum market, all parts of the supply chain are rushing to assess the risks of handling metal from Rusal, a company that Goldman said represents 6 per cent of global output. The moves will drive significant disruption in the near term, according to the bank, which flagged upside risks to its end-year forecast of US$1,950 a metric ton.
“We now expect aluminum prices to remain high and volatile through early June when markets will be forced to come to terms with the structure of the sanctions,” the Goldman analysts wrote.
Prices on the London Metal Exchange have jumped more than 13.5 per cent this week to US$2,320 a ton after surging to a six-year high on Thursday. Aluminum’s gains on the LME have outstripped increases in China in the past week, potentially making exports more profitable for the Asian nation’s traders just as their domestic market struggles with bloated stockpiles.

The construction for two new synthetic turf fields at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln was completed September 15, 2008. The new fields located directly east of Mabel Lee Hall (and north of Teachers College Hall) are on the site of the softball diamond that was the former home of the Husker softball team prior to their relocation to Bowlin Stadium at Haymarket Park. Nemaha Construction, Inc. of Lincoln, Nebraska is the construction contractor and the project/site management is being overseen by UNL Facilities Management & Planning. UNL Campus Recreation manages programming and scheduling of the new fields. The fields are used for intramural sports and sport club activities such as flag football, soccer, rugby, and ultimate, plus open recreational play. The west dugout and press box provide restrooms and an athletic training area for the Mabel Lee fields. The turf fields have an estimated twelve-year life span before needing to be re-surfaced.
Funding for the field construction was financed through three sources: PepsiCo, Inc. via the UNL Pouring Rights Contract ($1 million); UNL Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs ($400,000); and UNL Campus Recreation via UPFF student fees($335,000).
UNL Campus Recreation services over 24,000 memberships annually to students, faculty, and staff. Over 645,000 annual visits are logged at the Campus Rec Center and the Activities Building on East Campus which serve as the campus' exercise, fitness, and recreational sport facilities. The department also manages 140 acres of outside/green recreation space and administers the Intramural Sports, Fitness & Wellness, Sport Clubs, Rec & Leisure Classes, Outdoor Adventures, Aquatics, Injury Prevention, Massage Therapy, and Youth Activities programs.

'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' has officially been picked up by NBC!
‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ fans rejoice! The series has officially been picked up by NBC!
UPDATE: Brooklyn Nine-Nine has officially found a new home at NBC!
It looks like all that fan rallying in defense of saving Brooklyn Nine-Nine paid off!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, NBC has officially picked up the beloved comedy for a 13-episode sixth season!
News of the revival comes hot off the heels of Fox announcing that they’d decided to axe the program on Thursday (May 10).
Though fans were hopeful the series would find a new home, things started looking dim earlier today when we learned that both Netflix and Hulu had passed on the show.
That being said, we’re incredibly excited to hear that NBC isn’t making the same mistake!
We’re excited to see where the series goes from here with its new network!
Brooklyn Nine-Nine won’t be finding its second wind via two of the web’s biggest online streaming platforms.
Fans of Fox’s popular cop comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine were stunned yesterday when the network announced it was pulling the plug on the series after five seasons.
It wasn’t long before those very same fans took to Twitter to express their distaste over the matter while simultaneously launching a campaign in the hopes that another network might save the series.
Though the series might still find a new life in the hands of online streaming giants, it’s now looking like the beloved show won’t be finding a new home at Netflix or Hulu.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix has officially passed on picking up Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
Meanwhile, TV Line reports that a source at Hulu revealed to the outlet on Friday (May 11) evening that Hulu has officially decided to pass on the show.
As sad as it is to hear that Hulu won’t be stepping in to save Brooklyn Nine-Nine like they did with fellow Fox comedy The Mindy Project, that doesn’t mean fans should lose hope.
Though no one has stepped up to save the series yet, rumor has it that there are still a few other network that could be interested in saving it.
One such network is none other than TBS.
Though it might seem like an unlikely home for the show, it would actually make sense for the cable network to take a chance on it.
Currently, TBS is home to off-network repeats of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Additionally, network president Kevin Reilly played a role in developing the series during its inception.
While it’s a long shot, we’re still hoping that the fan campaigning will be enough to entice a network to swoop in and take a chance on the recently cancelled comedy!

OMAHA, NE, April 14, 2015 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Legal experts agree that, if you openly flout Christian teachings, you have no right to sue a religious school for firing you – in most instances.
That analysis comes after a sexually active homosexual lost his teaching contract at a Catholic school. Matt Eledge, 28 and an English teacher and speech team coach at Omaha’s Skutt Catholic High School, had an offer to renew his contract rescinded when it was learned he planned to “marry” another man.
Despite claims of discrimination based on sexual orientation, a lawsuit would be unsuccessful experts told CruxNow.com.
The City of Omaha passed a 2012 ordinance creating workplace anti-bias protection for homosexual and transgender employees. However, Omaha Human Rights and Relations Division Human Relations representative Renee Biglow says there is a religious exemption for schools and other faith-based entities.
Eledge is not granted special rights due to his sexual preference by any local, state, or federal law, according to University of Nebraska College of Law Professor of Employment Discrimination Law Steven Willborn.
A bill before the Nebraska state legislature, LB 586, would also confer legal privileges upon homosexuals and transgender people – but it, too, has a religious exception.
Eledge has not indicated thus far that he would pursue legal action, saying he’s only focused on teaching his students through the end of the year. He did say he’s received some offers to teach at other schools next year.
“So, maybe it’s a blessing in disguise,” said Eledge.
His friend and Skutt Assistant Speech Coach Kacie Skutt said the school had told Eledge he could return to teaching next year if he ended his homosexual relationship.
She is among those alleging discrimination on the part of the school.
That's not true, said Omaha Archdiocese Chancellor Tim McNeil. There have been single, pregnant teachers, and others who have divorced and remarried outside the Catholic Church, who have lost their jobs for violating Church teaching.
Willborn said it would require a backlash of public opinion for Skutt to reverse its decision to uphold Church teaching.
Catholic students and alumni from a West Des Moines, Iowa, school protested last week when the school declined to offer a full-time teaching contract to an openly-homosexual substitute teacher who was planning to “marry” another man.
Catholic students also protested last year when a vice principal in a homosexual “marriage” was fired in Seattle.
Catholics and others have also protested in Cincinnati and San Francisco when diocesan leaders have taken steps to strengthen Catholic identity in Catholic schools by clearly defining the expectation that faculty uphold Church teaching.

When I was stuck in a job that was no longer fulfilling and a relationship that was going nowhere, my health and well-being suffered. I lived for the weekends, which I usually spent catching up on sleep or spending my hard-earned money shopping.
Fast forward to NOW. I enjoy complete and total time/money freedom, the way nature intended! I can go jump in a lake midweek when there are no crowds--or climb a mountain, or have coffee with a friend, because my schedule is MINE to do with what I want! Every single day feels like “Friday” used to.
And it was EASY…not HARD, like everyone says it’s supposed to be. I followed my heart, my soul, my intuitive guidance and found a way to teach what I’m learning, to give back from a place of being authentically FULL.
Here’s the cool part: I don’t NEED to do anything! We don’t NEED to lead any webinars, although we WANT to because they’re fun. I’m already an internationally bestselling author with a reality TV show on the way, so I don’t need to be any more successful. I already feel successful! I am simply walking my talk, sharing what I’m learning, and allowing others to do the same, by giving them direct intimate access to the higher wisdom of my guides.
It feels good to give! It always, always comes back to me tenfold, although that’s not why I do it. If more people gave of themselves freely, we’d enjoy a peace-filled world. Isn’t that the goal? If more people truly understood that we are all connected, one Spirit expressing itself through different creative souls, we’d probably all live a life of meaning and service.

This post has been edited for content.
Have you been wondering why Bob Cox hasn’t posted on OlbermannWatch lately?
He appears to be busy with other things.
Earlier this month, Associated Press announced that a select group of bloggers would receive access to the Scooter Libby trial. Cox’s group, the Media Bloggers Association, trumpeted it as a victory for bloggers across the nation.
Cox is apparently focusing at least a portion of his non-OlbermannWatch efforts at creating a blogging "elite."
A group called the Media Bloggers Association, led by veteran blogger Robert Cox, is pushing for greater professionalization among blogmasters through training about legal and ethical obligations.
In time, Cox suggests, bloggers might be less likely to succumb to the pleasing fiction that they can work at the same time as political operatives, Web entrepreneurs and independent commentators without compromising something of value.
In the context of this discussion on ethics, it may be useful for someone to write the author of the article a letter to refresh his memory about Bob Cox's work on OlbermannWatch. The reporter, Edward Wasserman, is Knight professor of journalism ethics at Washington and Lee University. His email address is edward-wasserman@hotmail.com.
But back to the point. If you are training a professional “elite” of bloggers to cover major news stories, aren’t you going against the egalitarianism that makes blogging such a powerful medium for the transfer of information?
That doesn't make sense for an organization whose ostensible purpose is to promote blogging.
It may suggest that Bob has other ambitions.
His style would certainly would be consistent with that found in any college marketing textbook.
For anyone who is interested, the process of self-promotion on the internet is so simple that absolutely anyone can do it.
* Make your mark on the internet by adhering to a particular party line.
* Attack a randomly selected person.
* Don’t think of anything new. Realize there's already a script in place. Become the instrument of those in power.
* Repeat one line of thought persistently enough to make people think you are either insane or privy to some unique insight (why else would you keep on repeating such drivel) and an audience will gather.
Is that media party line a mirror image of the party line of the most powerful political group in the nation? What a coincidence! All the better!
The Bush administration has irretrievably fallen from grace. Coincidently, Bob has moved on to greener, more lucrative pastures.

In order to gauge our progress toward sustainability, we must establish a clear picture of the present environmental footprint and climatic impact of the University of Copenhagen. We must identify where we are successful and where challenges still present themselves. A clear picture of consumption and impact creates the foundation for adequate comparison with other universities - both nationally and internationally – for example within the IARU context. As a part of the University of Copenhagen’s sustainability effort, green accounts are continuously developed with improved quality of data and new estimations. This involves working with indicators which reflect different aspects of sustainability.
The first green accounts published by the University of Copenhagen covered the year 2007. UCPH releases a new report about the green accounts each year to measure our progress.
In 2017, the annual report appears for the first time in English, and includes a resume of the university's activities focusing on sustainability initiatives in both the activities of teaching and research and with respect to progress in reducing our environmental footprint.

Prevalence of and predictive factors for sustained disease-modifying antirheumatic drug-free remission in rheumatoid arthritis: results from two large early arthritis cohorts.
van der Woude D1, Young A, Jayakumar K, Mertens BJ, Toes RE, van der Heijde D, Huizinga TW, van der Helm-van Mil AH.
Remission has become an attainable goal of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment, especially since the advent of biologic antirheumatic therapy. Because little is known about patients who achieve disease remission with conventional treatment, we used 2 large independent inception cohorts to study the prevalence of and predictive factors for disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD)-free sustained remission after treatment with conventional therapy.
Remission of disease was assessed in 454 patients from the Leiden Early Arthritis Clinic (EAC) and in 895 patients from the British Early Rheumatoid Arthritis Study (ERAS) who fulfilled the American College of Rheumatology 1987 revised criteria for the classification of RA and were treated with conventional therapy. Sustained DMARD-free remission was defined as fulfilling the following criteria for at least 1 year: 1) no current DMARD use, 2) no swollen joints, and 3) classification as DMARD-free remission by the patient's rheumatologist. Predictive factors were identified by Cox regression analysis.
Sustained DMARD-free remission was achieved by 68 of 454 patients (15.0%) in the Leiden EAC and by 84 of 895 patients (9.4%) in the ERAS. Six factors were associated with sustained DMARD-free remission in both cohorts: acute onset, short symptom duration before inclusion, not smoking, little radiographic damage at baseline, absence of IgM rheumatoid factor (IgM-RF), and absence of HLA shared epitope alleles. In the ERAS, low disease activity at baseline was also predictive of remission. Multivariate analyses revealed symptom duration and the absence of autoantibodies (anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide 2 and IgM-RF) as independent predictors.
Sustained DMARD-free remission in RA patients treated with conventional therapy is not uncommon. Symptom duration at presentation and the absence of autoantibodies are associated with sustained DMARD-free remission.

To help alleviate the potentially large amount of network trafficthat such updates can generate, route updates can employ two possible types ofpackets: full dump and smaller incremental packets. Each of these broadcastsshould fit into a standard-size of network protocol data unit (NPDU), therebydecreasing the amount of traffic generated. The mobile nodes maintain anadditional table where they store the data sent in the incremental routinginformation packets. New route broadcasts contain the address of thedestination, the number of hops to reach the destination, the sequence numberof the information received regarding the destination, as well as a newsequence number unique to the broadcast. The route labeled with the most recentsequence number is always used. In the event that two updates have the samesequence number, the route with the smaller metric is used in order to optimize(shorten) the path. Mobiles also keep track of the settling time of routes, orthe weighted average time that routes to a destination will fluctuate beforethe route with the best metric is received. By delaying the broadcast of arouting update by the length of the settling time, mobiles can reduce networktraffic and optimize routes by eliminating those broadcasts that would occur ifa better route was discovered in the very near future.

Successful people are adept at juggling their responsibilities and getting stuff done. They value organizational skills and are highly-skilled multi-taskers. As such, every successful person’s phone will be full of helpful organizational apps which they use to plan out their day and tackle their extensive workload. The most popular apps include platforms such as Evernote, Mint, and Slack, which allow people to track their daily progress and communicate effectively with their business network.
A successful man sees their connections as their most valuable resources and will dedicate a significant amount of time cultivating them. This doesn’t mean using social media time-wasters such as Twitter or useless dating apps like Tinder. Rather, successful people see professional platforms such as LinkedIn as their own social media, which they use to cultivate a network of like-minded, ambitious, and successful people. When it comes to love and romance, they’re more likely to use elite dating apps such as Inner Circle.
Successful people are famously more open to risk-taking and aren’t afraid to chase after a big potentially big payout. That’s why you’re likely to find a range of betting apps on any successful person’s smartphone, as the thrill of the wager is always appealing to those who desire success. There are countless apps to choose from, but it’s best to make an informed choice by consulting websites which review the best apps such as Oddschecker, which will tell you which betting platforms offer the best shot at success.
Successful people are open-minded and curious. Rather than being cocky and thinking they know it all, a truly successful person is always eager to learn. That’s why every successful person is guaranteed to have a range of educational apps on their phone. These will likely range from language learning apps such as DuoLingo, all the way to apps which teach hard skills like coding, as the popular Encode app does.
Success in life goes far beyond a person’s career aspirations. Success is how you dress, where you spend your leisure time, who you socialize with, and what hobbies you have. Open any truly successful person’s smartphone and you’ll immediately see a range of lifestyle apps that they consult to help them live their best lives. These might include style apps such as the GQ App, cultural guides such as Culture Trip, and etiquette guides such as those found on the Tatler App.
Downloading these apps won’t make you an overnight millionaire, but they will help you form the habits you need to become successful. Get started now and see how quickly you notice a change in your lifestyle.

In 2018, NASA will launch into orbit a small satellite designed and built by a team of Brown undergraduates over the past six years.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — After a six-year journey to prepare for a space adventure, a team of Brown students is now just one year away from seeing an out-of-this-world dream become a reality.
Since 2011, the student-led Brown Space Engineering group has been busy designing, building and testing a small satellite — a CubeSat — they hoped to someday put into orbit. In 2014, NASA agreed to provide space on a rocket for the 4-inch cube, and now the team has been given its launch window. In the second quarter of 2018, the Brown satellite, dubbed EQUiSat, will fly aboard a resupply mission bound for the International Space Station, where ISS astronauts will deploy it into orbit 250 miles above the Earth.
The satellite’s mission is largely educational, says Hunter M. Ray, a junior engineering student and EQUiSat project manager. The idea is for EQUiSat to be a visible ambassador for space and space technology, showing people that the final frontier is within their reach. High-powered LED beacons will flash brightly enough to be seen with the naked eye from the ground as the satellite streaks across the night sky. A transmitter will relay telemetry and other data on amateur radio frequencies. And opportunities to see and hear EQUiSat will be combined with public outreach programs including space science curriculum modules for elementary, middle and high school students.
A rendering of EQUiSat in its final form.
The launch is part of NASA’s CubeSat Launch Initiative, which aims to give universities, nonprofits and other organizations an affordable pathway to space. The program also offers young engineers and developers a chance to get hands-on experience with space technology.
The EQUiSat team was formed in 2011 by a handful of students taking an aerospace engineering class taught by Rick Fleeter, an adjunct professor of engineering who founded a private satellite company before coming to Brown. The team’s ranks have since swelled to over 40 members. Many are engineering concentrators, but the group also includes students from physics, computer science and environmental science, as well as industrial design students from RISD and a high school student from the Met High School in Providence. Last year, the group changed its name from the Brown CubeSat team to Brown Space Engineering in the hope of expanding its focus and drawing more students. While Fleeter continues to oversee the group, the project is fully owned by the students.
Ray, who had long been interested in aerospace technology, joined the team as a first-year student and started working on the solar array. He said he was drawn to the idea of working on something that would eventually go to space, but he admits to being a little overwhelmed by the complexity of the project.
To keep the project on track, the team has had to deal with the inevitable departure of students when they graduate. It’s a challenge, but one they’ve been able to handle pretty well so far, says Ryan Izant, a senior who is the electronics lead for the project. When he started, Izant says he had a weekly phone call with is predecessor on the project to help get him up to speed.
The Brown School of Engineering, NASA Rhode Island Space Grant and a host of private sponsors have provided funding for raw materials, equipment and travel.
The EQUiSat team has plenty of ground to cover over the next few months. They’ll be tweaking the design of the satellite’s major systems and carefully assembling the final product. They’ll also undertake a series of NASA-mandated tests to make sure EQUiSat can survive a trip into orbit and function properly in the vacuum of space. EQUiSat’s LED beacons are its principal payload. Making them visible from Earth (they’ll be as bright as the North star) requires quite a bit of electrical current — more current than traditional lithium ion batteries could supply. So the team has turned to a newer battery technology.
There’s a catch, however. This will be the first time anyone has flown these batteries in space. So the team will have to do extensive safety and reliability tests before launch. Once in orbit, NASA will likely be quite interested in how the batteries perform, Ray says, as the agency investigates this battery type for use in future space suits and rovers.
Another of the team’s priorities is to demonstrate that building an operational satellite need not be egregiously expensive. Despite their diminutive size, CubeSats can come with hefty price tags. Nearly all the components necessary to build one can be purchased off the shelf, but going that route can cost anywhere from $30,000 to upwards of $100,000. The EQUiSat team wanted to see if they could develop their own custom-made parts for a lot less money.
The team milled the satellite’s aluminum chassis themselves. To charge their experimental batteries, they built their own solar array using scrap pieces of gallium arsenide cells, carefully arranged to maximize their ability to gather light. The resulting arrays provide plenty of power, but cost 35 times less than an off-the-shelf solar panel.
All told, the team says EQUiSat could be reproduced for as little as $5,000, helping to demonstrate the increasing affordability of space technology.
Over the next few months, EQUiSat will undergo a series of critical tests to make sure it’s mission-ready. Vibration tests will confirm that a rocket ride won’t shake the satellite’s vital components to pieces. After that comes a series of thermal tests. When exposed to direct sunlight in the vacuum of space, EQUiSat will see temperatures as high as 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Out of the sun, it will be negative 250. The team will need to make sure all systems are able to function in these extremes.
If all systems are go, EQUiSat will be packed in pods with other CubeSats, loaded aboard a rocket operated by SpaceX or another of NASA’s contractors, and flown to the International Space Station. ISS astronauts will load the satellites onto the station’s robotic, and a spring-loaded ejection system will scatter the collection of cubes into space.
The first order of business after deployment will be getting the satellite in the proper orientation relative to Earth. In order for the beacons to be seen, they’ll need to be pointed downward. Two pairs of perpendicular magnets called hysteresis rods will help dampen any spinning that might be generated by the deployment process. Another magnet will then align the craft with Earth’s magnetic field, keeping the beacons pointed in the right direction.
Once the craft is properly oriented, it will be ready to start flashing its beacons. They’re programmed to flash three times in quick succession every minute when the satellite is in the dark. People on the ground will have between nine and 18 sighting opportunities during a nighttime pass. People will be able to track viewing opportunities online, while amateur radio operators will be able receive detailed telemetry and status information.
As the launch window draws near and the goal of putting a satellite in space get closer to reality, Ray says he thinks a lot about the magnitude of what the team has accomplished.

Effective methods to promote safety are those that employ case by case, decision-making strategies that tailor interventions to the youth with problematic sexual behavior, child victims, family members, and circumstances. Many youth can be treated effectively in outpatient, community-based programs while a smaller group will need a more structured, secure setting during treatment.
Youth with problematic sexual behavior (PSB) can successfully respond to interventions that address the behavior problem and promote healthy development. Recidivism rates are quite low, demonstrating that with appropriate and effective interventions, most youth can learn to make better choices and be contributing members of society.
1) Is the sexual behavior a problem? Is it illegal?
2) What are the best ways to respond?
3) What are the characteristics of effective interventions and safety plans for this youth and family?
4) Is a more restrictive environment needed currently to ensure safety and meet the intervention needs of the youth?
5) What public policies promote the safety of our communities?
A multidisciplinary team approach facilitates communication and enhances the response. Easily accessible, evidence-based information is needed to guide decision-making and facilitate positive outcomes.

The gambling industry has its eyes set on Florida — and it has the capital to handsomely compensate lobbyists, influencers and public relations experts who push for it as an economic driver. And certainly, the gambling giants have shown how generously they can fund the campaigns of politicians who keep finding ways of proposing more and bigger venues.
Amendment 3 would put a real damper on their wily ways.
A Yes vote on Amendment 3 would take the power to expand gambling in Florida away from politicians and put it where it belongs — the people. It would enshrine in the Florida Constitution that the state cannot expand gambling without the approval of voters.
If this citizen-driven amendment weren’t good for us — if it weren’t a restraint and check on the gambling industry and its complicit lot — why would they be campaigning so hard against Floridians having a voice on the issue?
The latest tactic of the gambling lobby comes by way of ads that tell you a Yes vote would be an anti-schools vote.
Schools have both state and local budgets that fund them.
As for the size of the state’s tax dollar pot, there’s already plenty of gambling in Florida that generates revenue — including the state lottery, which funds education, although not at the levels originally promised. Because everything politicians promise — like jobs and growth — has hiccups and exceptions, and legislatures and administrations change things.
If you want to help better fund schools in Miami-Dade, for example, vote to give teacher pay raises on referendum #362.
But don’t fall for the line that gambling funds education. Gambling funds crime and corruption; you can’t hire enough law enforcement to keep up.
Miami dodged a bullet on two fronts after a Las Vegas mogul and the Malaysian company Genting descended on the town, hired the best political operators as “consultants” — and immediately got the city and county mayors on board with opening destination mega casinos in downtown. Genting handed out contracts and junket trips to Malaysia to show off their casinos to people connected to city government, like players at the Beacon Council and the Chamber of Commerce.
Everyone was ready to cut themselves a slice of the pie — and ready to turn our beautiful arts districts into casino gambling dens.
But the overwhelming backlash from better-thinking heads prevailed and both former Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado and Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez had to back off.
But for quite a while, the Genting mega casino was all set up to go on the waterfront, as the former president of the Beacon Council, Frank Nero, will remind you. He lost his job largely because he blew the whistle on the underhanded fast-tracking and stood publicly in opposition.
And, believe me, when gambling giants set up shop, they generate such revenue that they own the towns where they operate. Every time I wrote about this issue back then, I got emails from business people in Bimini, where Genting operates, telling me just that. They run that island.
We certainly don’t need them running Florida.
This amendment doesn’t end the threat.
But at least, voters take control with the final word.

Both as a part of Math Month and as an HEAV blogger, I was delighted to have an opportunity to interview Carlita Boyles, fellow Virginia Homeschool mom (about to graduate her youngest!) and creator of Math on the Level - the curriculum that has had the biggest impact on how we think about math instruction around here!
The curriculum includes a book for each branch, complete with teaching strategies and practice exercises. Also included is a complete record-keeping system and other support resources. You can get a peek inside the curriculum here.
What I'm most looking forward to sharing with you here, however, is what I learned about Carlita and the work she did developing Math on the Level. This interview was informative, but it was also especially encouraging to hear the long-view perspective of an almost-veteran homeschool mom!
1. Tell us a little about yourself as a home educator. What ages are your children currently? When did you begin homeschooling? What are some of the things that drew you to choose homeschooling for your family?
I began officially homeschooling in 1998, when my oldest was almost 5 and my youngest just a few months old. I can’t remember when I first learned about homeschooling, but even before I was married, I planned to homeschool my future children for the first few years, to “give them a good foundation.” Having been a teacher for many years, I did not want my little ones in the public school environment when they started out – but I had no intention of homeschooling past 3rd, or possibly 6th grade.
Once I started having children, I stopped working for the public school system and began enjoying motherhood. I think homeschooling actually begins at birth, and I loved reading to my little ones, playing with them, and helping them discover their world.
When we began homeschooling kindergarten under a Christian school’s homeschool umbrella program, I had my first real exposure to older homeschooled children. The more we were around the tweens and teens, the more astounded I was at their politeness, their kindness to my little ones, and their ease of conversing with adults.
My last teaching experience had been in an excellent public school 6th grade class, and I loved my students, but these homeschooled students had attitudes that were so respectful, and they were such delightful young people that I kept thinking, “I want my children to grow up like these children!” Through the years I have discovered many more benefits of homeschooling, and my reasons for homeschooling all the way through high school have deepened and expanded, but initially, I just wanted children who were as nice as those older homeschooled kids!
God is good, and He allowed me to have children who are every bit as nice as those were (from a very biased mom’s perspective). I have homeschooled all three of my children from preschool through high school. My oldest is 23 and after college graduation went straight into a full-time job that she enjoys. My second daughter is 21 and was married last summer to a wonderful young man. She has one more semester of college and is majoring in Accounting. My son is 18 and in his last semester of high school, so I’m just about done with the journey of homeschooling. I am so thankful for my incredible, supportive husband and for the privilege of being a homeschooling mom.
2. Did you begin homeschooling with a developmental math philosophy as in Math on the Level, or did you begin with more traditional textbooks (or some other approach)?
Actually, I thought homeschooling was just bringing school home. As a matter of fact, on the first day of school, I tried to get my poor sweet little girls, aged 3 and 4, to call me “Mrs. Boyles” because we were in school! They were so confused. I dropped that right away, but for a while, I still tried to use traditional textbook approaches.
I found, though, that I was able to teach much more effectively if I just taught what they were ready to learn. I was greatly influenced by a variety of educators, including Ruth Beechick, Charlotte Mason, and the Bluedorns.
One of my girls was very advanced in reading and writing, and the other was very advanced in math, so I wanted to provide opportunities for both of them to learn as much as they could in their areas of strength. I had a strong background in different teaching approaches from my Special Education background, but now I started to read a lot about different homeschool teaching approaches. After experimenting a bit, I found that since my girls were so different in their skills and their learning styles, I needed to be rather eclectic in my approach instead of trying to force them both into the same mold.
I also discovered that whereas in public school I had to do a lot of work to bring cooking and sewing and “real-life” experiences into the classroom, at home it was easy to teach academic skills while we were going through our day. My teaching approach moved more and more into unit studies, lots of reading aloud and discussions, and using as many opportunities as I could find to teach through the context of daily life. I used textbooks more as resources than for normal instruction.
Although I loved using unit studies, I found it frustrating that most of them included all subject areas except math. It seemed to me that math ought to be taught in context, so I started looking for ways to teach math in the unit studies.
3. What lead you to develop Math on the Level as a curriculum? Did you originally plan to market it to other homeschoolers?
I was a part of a homeschool umbrella group, and since I have a background in Special Education, I was sometimes called on to work with other families or do presentations at our group meetings. Math was consistently an area of frustration for homeschooling moms.
I tried to encourage them to let go of grade level expectations when they weren’t appropriate (when the child needed to go faster or slower, for example), but most were afraid to move away from the math books. After one presentation, a group of moms came up to me and asked if I would be willing to write a math curriculum because they wanted to teach like I taught, but they were afraid to leave the structure of a textbook for fear they would miss something. My husband and I discussed it and prayed about it, and decided to give it a try.
He is an electrical engineer, and very quickly took over the graphics, design, and editing of the curriculum. We found that our skills blended really well. Even then, if I had known how much work it would be to write Math on the Level, I’m not sure I would have had the courage to start it. God gave us what we needed as we needed it, and looking back, I’m constantly in awe of how He guided and provided.
I also don’t think it occurred to me that we would eventually have to market the curriculum. In the back of my mind, I knew we were writing it to share with others, but I was so focused on getting it written that I didn’t really think past that. Marketing has been a stretch for me, but I’ve had some amazing experiences and gotten to know so many wonderful people!
4. Once students have finished working through Math on the Level, what do you consider an appropriate next step in math study?
We get this question a lot, and it’s very difficult because Math on the Level is such an individualized approach to math. We have some people who use Math on the Level because their children are struggling and they want to slow things down and put more emphasis on real-life. We have others who use it because their children are advanced in math and want to be able to go quickly through the concepts without being hindered with unnecessary busywork. Still others want their children to learn math in context, so that it makes sense and they know how to use what they learn when they encounter math in life.
We have unschoolers using Math on the Level and Classical Educators using Math on the Level and everything in between. When we look at algebra, then, the next step really depends on the interests, strengths and learning style of each student.
5. Tell us some about the brand new 5-A-Day Online Program! How did you decide to create that product? Tell us a bit about the development process. What advantages does this offer to families?
We are so excited about the new 5-A-Day Online service! One feature of Math on the Level has always been our daily 5-A-Day review that allows every concept learned to be reviewed, but reviewed at the child’s pace so that concepts they find easy are reviewed less frequently and newer or more difficult concepts are reviewed more often. Our Scheduling Spreadsheets allow parents to easily modify the review schedule of each concept and see what problems are to be reviewed each day. Up until now, however, the parent had to copy problems from the back of the Teaching Guide onto the child’s 5-A-Day paper.
Almost from its introduction, we have had feedback that parents would prefer some other way of producing the 5-A-Day papers, but that required development skills that neither John nor I had. John developed a spreadsheet that automates and greatly simplifies the scheduling of 5-A-Days, but it was too big a job for a spreadsheet to create the actual 5-A-Day papers. Therefore, John developed a software requirements specification for an online service which would do just that.
It took some time before we were able to free up funds and locate someone that we trusted to work with us. Last year, God provided both the funds and an amazing young man with exactly the right skills to develop our 5-A-Day Online program.
So now we finally have a great new option! The new 5-A-Day Online service allows parents to print the 5-A-Day papers by entering concepts to be reviewed onto a chart on the 5-A-Day Quick Print page. We also modified the spreadsheet, so the child’s “Today’s 5-A-Days” can be imported by a single operation. From there, parents can also generate practice worksheets if they want to have more problems available when teaching a new concept. We worked hard to make it complete and easy to use.
Another exciting aspect of the 5-A-Day Online is that parents can use this even with children who are using a different math curriculum. For students who are learning well with a textbook approach but who are overwhelmed with the daily practice, or for parents who want to take advantage of learning over time (which research is showing to be more effective), the 5-A-Day Online allows parents to create daily 5-A-Day review papers to be used instead of the daily assignments in other math books. The 5-A-Day Online service is available for $5 per month or $35 per year for the entire family.

Yes! There are so many new online friends I’ll be looking forward to meeting this year!
We have used MOTL in the past but got away from it in favor of some less “mom intensive” math curricula, BUT we are going back to MOTL because it is so much more family-friendly and enjoyable for the kids. The new online 5 a days look like they may help me out a lot! Thanks for the chance to win!
Jeni, I totally understand about the “mom intensive” aspect. Yes, I do think that the new online option is a great resource. I’ll be hopping on Facebook Live later this week to give everyone a sneak peek into how that works. Also, I’ve got another post in the pipeline about how I’ve used other things in combination with MOTL. Either could be a more streamlined, workable solution!

In 2018, I was diagnosed with a BRCA1 genetic mutation. In short, that means I have a significantly increased risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. My grandmother died of ovarian cancer at 43, so the diagnosis wasn't entirely surprising.
I've decided to go the preventative surgery route - a double mastectomy and reconstruction, as well as double ovarian and fallopian tube removal. As you might have guessed, this route comes with a heavy price tag.
With that in mind, I set out to find the right insurance plan to cover those costs in 2019, settling on a high-premium Gold plan. Here's what I discovered when open enrollment started.
When my husband and I moved back to Indiana last year, I had to sign up for health insurance through the marketplace. As I looked through the different plans, I noticed that the Gold-level plans had a much lower deductible and out-of-pocket max than the Bronze plans.
That's usually how health insurance plans work. You can either pay a low premium every month and have less of your expenses covered, or pay a high premium and have more covered. The Gold-level plans had a monthly premium of $1,000, while the Bronze plans had a $650 premium.
After doing the math, I realized I would save $3,000 if I went with a Gold plan. I decided that if I still wanted to get surgery in January, that was my best option. I ran the numbers over with my financial planner and he agreed.
When open enrollment for the Healthcare Marketplace became available in November, I immediately started signing up. That's when I discovered that the plans had changed - the Gold options had almost the same out-of-pocket max as the Bronze ones, give or take $50.
I was so confused. I called the Marketplace's customer service line and spoke to a representative who confirmed what I was seeing. She was just as baffled as I was. "That's so weird," she said. "Usually, the out-of-pocket max is lower on those Gold plans."
After re-doing the math, I realized I would spend $4,246 more if I went with the Gold plan. Plus, if I chose the right Bronze plan, I could have an HSA to pay for my expenses. That means I'd save even more with the Bronze plan by deducting those expenses on my taxes, approximately $1,500.
If I had gone with the Gold plan automatically, I'd be overpaying by almost $6,000 for the same coverage. I'm so glad I went through the plans carefully, even though I was so certain about what I wanted.
Choosing a health insurance plan isn't something you can do on autopilot. Premiums, out-of-pocket amounts and deductibles can change every year, so picking the same plan without checking is a dangerous game.
If your health needs have stayed the same, it's still a good idea to consider each available plan. Do the math yourself to see what makes sense. If you're like me, keeping an HSA-eligible plan might be more advantageous than having slightly better coverage.

A judge “was wrong” to rule that a woman had been unfairly dismissed by her employers because of her disability.
The woman suffered with fibromyalgia and had an ovarian tumour. She worked for the company from May 2011 until she was dismissed in April 2012.
She took the case to court, claiming she had been discriminated against because of her disability.
She said she had endured a campaign of abuse and degrading treatment from her employers during her time at the company.
The woman listed numerous medical ailments from which she had suffered from as far back as 2008, and the many symptoms that went with them.
The company denied the alleged campaign of abuse had taken place, and said that the dismissal had nothing to do with any disability, but was necessary because of poor performance.
The judge accepted that the woman’s listed medical conditions and symptoms amounted to disability, and ruled in her favour.
The company took the case to the Employment Appeal Tribunal, which overturned the decision.
It ruled that the judge had failed to specify which medical condition meant the woman was disabled within the Equality Act 2010.
The woman’s medical history from before she joined the company should not have been considered, and she needed to have provided actual medical evidence to validate her claims.
The ruling of unfair dismissal because of disability discrimination was overturned.
Please contact John Carter if you would like more information about the issues raised in this article or any other aspect of employment law.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) wants to ensure that the 2014 fee schedules for Medicare Part B are known to all physicians.
Offices looking for assistance can search for fee schedules by state and type of service at www.ngsmedicare.com. Search tools are available by individual code or entire file, but many find the individual code search easier to navigate.
Current legislation expires on March 31, 2014, so another update will be forthcoming.
