I meant to post this a loooong time ago, so apologies to myself (mostly) for not doing so. My facial regime has changed quite a bit since I took these photos but I use them.
My skin is sensitive and is combination (oily and dry) Hence after doing a lot of research and looking around, I've come to realize the importance of moisturizing and using products with no alcohol for more sensitive areas of my face (eg above lips, cheeks, around eyes) Alcohol strips skin of too much oil sometimes and even causes pimples/acne to get worse, which I've experienced.
Here's a round up of things I've used/use!
NOTE: It's actually 'theblackmentosbeautybox.blogspot'!
NOTE: It's actually 'theblackmentosbeautybox.blogspot'!
|All in a tub! Yep...I came up with the sign in a moment's notice, and that's a 'blackmentos' you see there!
|Introducing my holy grail tool! A silicone scrubber that comes with the L'oreal face wash...you can easily buy this at Sasa outlets and watsons in Singapore!
|Refreshing in the morning...I don't use this all the time as it's astringent abilities can be a bit much first thing in the morning! I love the smell and thin consistency!
|This was okay but a bad choice in the end...I ignore it a lot due to my preference for other cleansers...this is for normal skin I'd say...it's not that tightening but it's really great...skip the large sizes, the tomato and cucumber one is better!
|Another FAV, that cannot be found in S'pore! I also got this at the pharmacy in Cambodia...it's a fine textured scrub/cleasner, useless against blackheads actually but it smells like apples!
|That's how much I loved it! Sadly it finished a month ago!
|Tiny blue beads that exfoliate very lightly...
|I've never used their foaming cleansers but this scrub is great for 'lighter' days...when my skin isn't as icky feeling...
|Smells nice, a mousy textured paste with little beads...
|Everyone's familiar with her! I love St.Ives scrubs of course! But I'm currently using this on and off...when I don't want to use it on my face, it's my body exfoliator!
|Same, same! A smell amount and a light hand works wonders!
|One of the better Eversoft products I've tried. This scrub is really a 'scrub'...it's a lot like St.Ives scrub for blemishes, same smell and texture...except slightly finer...
|Beads are rougher than they appear! It's like a lighter version of St. Ives scrubs...I like! This is better for sensitive/oily skin...it's not as rough on the skin!
|After seeing so much of it on the internet I decided to get myself the 'Perfect clean in exfoliating'...I love the scent!! So peachy and fresh, the beads are small and good for normal skin days...the scrub is a god!
|Transparent with crushed peach/apricot/walnut seeds as the beads...just like st.ives this ensures a good scrub although not as thorough as st.ives heavy pastey formula.
|Finally, Skin Food's Black sugar scrub! AMAZING! 5 mins, and you have a new face! I believe it retails for about $25 SGD here but it's soooo worth it. Sugary, refreshing and it melts right into the skin!
|Go easy at first, rubbing slowly! Like any sugar/salt scrub, it will melt into your skin, leave it on for a bit and then wash off with cold water...your skin is renewed!
That's all for my run down of scrubs and cleansers! I will update the things I use hopefully in the next few weeks (if I ever get around to it) I typically have several scrubs and cleanser to switch around...I don't try new things very often since I buy back ups of my favorites.
Leave me comments/questions!
Thanks for stopping by!

TAMIU Ranked 34th Among Top 50 Online
Hispanic-Serving Higher Learning Institutions
That's an Impressive Ranking! Who did you Outrank?
Thanks, we're pretty proud too! TAMIU outranked two universities in The Texas A&M University System, including Texas A&M University- Corpus Christi and Texas A&M University-Kingsville, and four other Texas universities, including Our Lady of the Lake University, The University of Texas (UT) at San Antonio, UT-El Paso and UT-Rio Grande Valley.
What Does That Mean to Me?
For Hispanic students, and all students, attending a school that is welcoming of their ethnicity and culture can be critical criteria – for both online and onsite students. It's about finding a home away from home. As an international campus, TAMIU is home to students from over 40 countries every semester.
How Did They Figure This Out?
The site used two criteria, universities with 50% student retention rates, and those with 50% student graduation rates, and compared them against the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities' (HACU) list of 269 Member Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs)…all in order to reveal the best schools for Hispanic students.
How Can Online Students Succeed?
Online students, like onsite students, must make a commitment to their course requirements, demonstrate strong time management skills, and utilize resources available to them to help them perform better.

text: Is packing your trunk generally a nuisance for you? Here are some helpful packing tips that can take the complexity and challenges out of getting all you need in your vehicle: Step One: Organize your belongings into the following groups: Heavy items Awkwardly shaped items (things that aren't square, rectangular, or box-shaped) Medium weight items Lightweight things Malleable items (things you can squish like duffle bags and blankets) Belongings that must be easily accessible Step Two: Unless they can be damaged easily, put your awkwardly shaped things in first. Put them in one area of the trunk because they can't be stacked like square suitcases and you'll need to arrange items around them. Keeping them together means that only one portion of your trunk is underutilized as opposed to multiple areas. Step Three: Heavier items can be added to your trunk next. Back these things tightly and form one flat layer towards the rear of the trunk. Step ... read more

Viewing system information for a device
The Momentics IDE for BlackBerry provides a rich environment not only for developing and maintaining your apps, but also for examining the details of your running devices.
You can use the Momentics IDE to find answers to these questions:
- Are my processes running?
- What state are they in?
- What resources are being used, and by which processes?
- Which processes or threads are communicating with which other processes or threads?
The System Information perspective
The System Information perspective provides a detailed report on your target's resource allocation and usage, and key metrics such as CPU usage, app layout, and the interaction of different apps.
Key terms
- thread
The minimum unit of execution that can be scheduled to run.
- process
A container for threads, defining the virtual address space that the thread runs in. A process always contains at least one thread. Each process has its own set of virtual addresses, typically ranging from 0 to 4 GB.
Threads in a process share virtual memory space but have their own stacks.This common address space allows threads in the process to access shared code and data easily. It also lets you optimize or group common functionality, while still providing process-level protection from the rest of the system.
- scheduling priority
The order that threads run in when multiple threads are competing for CPU time.
Each thread can have a scheduling priority ranging from 1 to 255 (the highest priority), independent of the scheduling policy. The special idle thread (in the process manager) has priority 0 and is always ready to run. By default, a thread inherits the priority of its parent thread.
You can set a thread's priority using the pthread_setschedparam() function.
- scheduling policy
The policy that determines which thread should run next when two or more threads share priority (that is, the threads are directly competing with each other for the CPU). The following policies are available:
- Round-robin
- First-in, first_out (FIFO)
- Sporadic
You can set a thread's scheduling policy using the pthread_setschedparam() function or you can start a process with a specific priority and policy by using the on command.
- state
The state of the thread. Only one thread can run at a time. If a thread isn't in RUNNING state, it must either be READY or BLOCKED (or in one of the many blocked variants).
- message passing
The fundamental form of communication in BlackBerry 10 OS. The OS relays messages from thread to thread using a send-receive-reply protocol. For example, if a thread calls the MsgSend() function, but the server hasn't yet received the message, the thread is SEND-blocked. A thread waiting for an answer is REPLY-blocked.
- channel
The medium for transmitting messages. Message passing is directed at channels and connections, rather than targeted directly from thread to thread. A thread that wants to receive messages first creates a channel; another thread that wants to send a message to that thread must first make a connection by attaching to that channel.
- signal
An asynchronous event notification that can be sent to your process. Signals may include:
- Simple alarms based on a previously set timer
- A notification of unauthorized access of memory or hardware
- A request for termination
- User-definable notifications
The OS supports the standard POSIX signals (as in UNIX) as well as the POSIX real-time signals. The POSIX signals interface specifies how signals target a particular process, not a specific thread. To ensure that signals go to a thread that can handle specific signals, many apps mask most signals from all but one thread.
You can specify the action associated with a signal by using the sigaction() function and block signals by using the sigprocmask() function. You can send signals by using the raise() function, or you can send them manually using the Target Navigator view. For more information, see Using System Information views.

The ICC Cricket 2019 World Cup is about to hit the roads in less than two weeks. This time the tournament takes place at the home of Cricket, England along with Wales, which in recent times has seen a number of high-scoring matches. The Cricket World Cup itself is no stranger to high-scoring matches with three of tournament's four highest totals coming in the last edition in Australia and New Zealand. History of Cricket World Cup Trophy: Facts and Evolution of Cricket's Prestigious Title From Prudential to ICC (View Pics & Video).
These games have seen batsmen score for fun and score all around the park with many notching up unimaginable scores. From Sir Viv Richards demolishing Sri Lanka in 1987 to Chris Gayle hitting 16 sixes at Canberra, we take a look at 10 of those highest individual scores at the World Cup over the years.
1. Martin Guptill (New Zealand)
The tall New Zealand opener slammed the World Cup's highest-ever individual score in the 2015 edition of the tournament. Facing West Indies in an important quarterfinal fixture, Guptill was lucky to survive in the very first-over when Marlon Samuels dropped a dolly at square leg and the Kiwi opener made him pay with a double century. Guptill's innings of 237 not out from 163 balls included 11 mammoth sixes and 24 boundaries. West Indies could manage only 13 more runs than what Guptill had smashed them for. ICC Cricket World Cup: Here's a Look at Some Records and Stats Ahead of CWC 2019.
2. Chris Gayle (West Indies)
About a month before Guptill's whirlwind, Chris Gayle had become the first player to record a double-century at the World Cup. He smashed 215 against Zimbabwe from 147 balls with the help of 10 fours and 16 maximums. But the Universe Boss was awfully out of form going into this fixture. The West Indies had lost to Ireland prior to this match. He had no century in the last 19 innings and calls for him to retire had filled social media. One such post had also got the approval of WICB President David Cameron. Gayle was also lucky to survive a tough LBW call in the fourth over and he made sure to make most it.
Gayle's first century came in 105 deliveries. His next was in just 33 deliveries with the final 50 runs coming in 12 balls. He was out in the final delivery of the innings but only after adding a world record 372-run partnership with Marlon Samuels.
3. Gary Kirsten (South Africa)
Gary Kirsten registered multiple records on February 16, 1996, when he scored the then highest individual score in World Cup history. But the biggest of them was Kirsten becoming the first South African player to score a century at the World Cup. The Proteas opener scored an unbeaten 188 off 159 deliveries that included four sixes and 13 boundaries. He could have even surpassed the highest ODI score of that time but fell one run short. South Africa won the match by 169 runs. Cricket World Cup History: Winners, Host Nations, Participating Teams and Timeline of All the CWC From 1975 to 2015.
4. Sourav Ganguly (India)
Sourav Ganguly smashed India's all-time highest individual score at the World Cup in 1999. The southpaw hit seven sixes and 17 fours to score 183 off 158 deliveries against Sri Lanka in the 1999 World Cup. Ganguly along with Rahul Dravid put on a then record partnership of 318 runs, with the latter hitting 145 from 129 deliveries. The Lankans folded for 216 runs handing India a big 157-run victory. Ahead of ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, Here's a Look at Blistering Knocks by Inzamam-Ul-Haq, MS Dhoni, Sachin Tendulkar and Others at CWC Over the Years (Watch Videos).
5. Viv Richards (West Indies)
The mighty West Indians were still recovering from their shock defeat to India in the last World Cup final. To add to their woes, the Windies lost to England in their opening match of the 1987 World Cup. They needed a victory to stay alive but were off to a worse start with Carlisle Alonza Best and Richie Richardson out on successive deliveries. In stepped skipper Viv Richards. First, he denied Ratnayeke a hat-trick, then rebuild the innings together with Desmond Haynes before tearing the Lankan bowlers apart. Richards scored his fifty off 62 deliveries and century from 97 before starting his carnage. His next 81 runs came from only 28 balls and it gave a mammoth total of 360 runs to defend. They easily did that winning the match by 191 runs.
6. David Warner (Australia)
The pint-sized power-bomb stormed Afghanistan in Perth to power Australia to its biggest ODI victory. Warner scored 178 from 133 deliveries with 19 fours and five sixes and together with Steve Smith registered the Kangaroo nation's highest-ever second wicket partnership. As hosts of the 2015 World Cup, there was enormous pressure on Australia to win it. But after losing to rivals New Zealand in the previous match, Michael Clarke's men were heavily criticised. Warner's knock not just helped them to a victory but handed Australia a 275-run victory.
7. Kapil Dev (India)
You talk about the 1983 World Cup and you talk about Kapil Dev. India actually had begun the 1983 World Cup with a bang. They defeated the powerhouse West Indies and Zimbabwe in their opening two matches. But lost the plot with consecutive defeats to Australia and West Indies. Then came the must-win fixture against Zimbabwe. India needed a victory, Dev won the toss and elected to bat first. But the decision proved otherwise and India lost their top-five batsman for just 17 on board. Kapil started rebuilding the innings with the lower-order and later launched a scathing attack on the Zimbabwean bowlers. He finished with 175 runs with six sixes and 16 fours as India notched up 266. They eventually won by 31 runs and what a win it proved to be. India went on to lift the World Cup.
8. Virender Sehwag (India)
You are an Indian batsman. You score 175 and lift the World Cup. Kapil Dev had done it in England. 28 years later, someone reminded Virender Sehwag of that magic score. The Dashing Delhi opener made sure he did in the very opening match against Bangladesh and India went on to lift the World Cup for the second time in its history. But the match was much more to Sehwag. India had been knocked out of the group stages in the previous edition in 2007. They had lost to Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. But Sehwag took the first defeat as the main reason for India's ouster and when Bangladesh came calling again four years later, he decided to take revenge.
The right-hander scored 175 from 140 deliveries smashing 14 fours and five sixes. He could even become the first batsman to score a double century but fell short in the 48th over. India made 370 and won by 87 runs. They would later lift the World Cup on home soil after a wait for 28 years.
9. Craig Wishart (Zimbabwe)
Craig Wishart scored just two centuries for Zimbabwe and one of them was a giant score at the 2003 World Cup. The Pool A group started with the match between Zimbabwe and Namibia, with the latter electing to field after winning the toss. It turned out to be a nightmare of a decision as Wishart playing in his home capital started with a bang. Zimbabwe lost two wickets, stitched two-century partnerships and registered 340 runs on the scoreboard. Wishart smashed 50% of those runs to finish with 172 runs not out – having hit 18 fours and 3 sixes during his 151 ball stay. ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Schedule in PDF: Ticket Prices, Dates, Venue Details & Timetable Available for Download Online.
10. Glenn Turner (New Zealand)
Glenn Turner is the first batsman to score 150 runs in an ODI match and also is the first to record a World Cup 150. His innings of 171 not out from 201 deliveries also makes him the only batsman to have faced 200 or more deliveries in One-Day cricket. Turner hit 16 fours and two sixes during his long innings of 171 for New Zealand against East Africa.
Many of these innings turned out to be match winners, few of them breaking various records along the way. The 2019 World Cup is also expected to witness many high-scoring totals with most teams playing revolutionary cricket. Some of these records may no longer be invincible.

Runs large
I have 3 other pairs of shoes by Rollies (two derbys and one pair of ankle boots) and they are all size 7 and fit really well. These boots run about a half size larger and there was no indication of this in the product description. My heels slip in them and they look clownishly large when I have them on! Because I live in the US I won't bother returning these and I'll try to make them work with insoles. It's worth noting that the boots seem well made and light weight. Also, my order took a month and a half to get to me but considering the distance and Covid delays, it wasn't a big deal.
Rated 4 out of 5
Rated 2 on a scale of minus 2 to 2, where minus 2 is Runs Small, 0 is True and 2 is Runs Large

MEMPHIS, TN, July 10, 2018 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Marquis Who's Who, the world's premier publisher of biographical profiles, is proud to present Monica Jablonski, Ph.D., with the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award. An accomplished listee, Dr. Jablonski celebrates many years' experience in her professional network, and has been noted for achievements, leadership qualities, and the credentials and successes she has accrued in her field. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Dr. Jablonski is recognized in her industry for her outstanding contributions to science education and research in identifying mechanisms of visually blinding disorders. Her main research interests focus on glaucoma and age related macular degeneration, and her work seeks to find treatments and therapies to help preserve vision in those diseases while also developing delivery systems for drug treatments. Dr. Jablonski currently holds the title of associate dean of postdoctoral affairs in the College of Graduate Health Sciences at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, a position she has held since 2013. She also serves the university as a professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology, and the Department of Ophthalmology. She has served the institute for more than 20 years, holding associate professor and assistant professor appointments prior to being named a full professor. She began her career in the industry as a research instructor at the Cullen Eye Institute at Baylor College of Medicine, where she served from 1994 to 1995.
Alongside her work in education, Dr. Jablonski served the institute as a member of multiple committees; she currently serves as a member of the postdoctoral advisory committee and the vision core grant executive committee. Previously, she acted on the Faculty Recruitment Committee, the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, and the Faculty Budgets and Benefits Committee, among many others. She was also a member of the faculty senate from 2006 to 2013.
Dr. Jablonski was the first person in her family to go to college; her father did not even attend high school. Her initial plan was to get a degree in medical technology, but in her junior year, she took a course in medical technology that she absolutely hated. She wanted to salvage her three years of academic experience while still doing something meaningful. One of her professors put her in touch with someone who was doing research at the Medical College of Wisconsin, and there she developed a passion for research. Dr. Jablonski received a Bachelor of Science, cum laude, from Mount Mary University in 1986, and graduated with a Doctor of Philosophy in physiology from the Medical College of Wisconsin in 1990. She continued her education as a postdoctoral research fellow in retinal cell biology at the Cullen Eye Institute at Baylor College of Medicine from 1990 to 1994. She is also recognized as a diplomate of New England Biolabs Molecular Biology and PCR Course at Smith College.
She attributes her success to her mentors. Her primary mentor was her Ph.D. adviser, Henry Edelhouser. More recently, Dr. Dianna A. Johnson also played a large role in Dr. Jablonski's success as the person who recruited her to work at the University of Tennessee. Dr. Johnson was very supportive in mentoring her and making sure she was on the right path. Dr. Jablonski currently acts as a scientific reviewer for the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, Biomaterials, Molecules, Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs, Annals of Anatomy, Molecular Vision, the Journal of Neuroscience Research and the Journal of Molecular Neuroscience. In the past, she also served as a scientific reviewer of Transplantation, Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Experimental Eye Research, Genes, Brain and Behavior and Current Eye Research. She also currently serves as a member of the editorial board of PLOS ONE and previously acted as a guest member of the editorial board of Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science. She has authored more than 80 book chapters and has developed more than 85 abstracts.
Dr. Jablonski recently developed a novel platform for delivering drugs to the eyes. She has just filed a patent on the device. In recognition of the innovative contribution to medicine, she was the first to be invited to perform her research in the innovation laboratory space at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. In 2018, the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, in affiliation with Memphis Bioworks, will collaborate to research and produce new high-quality medical products.
Dr. Jablonski currently serves as a member of a number of organizations, including the International Complex Trait Consortium, the Center for Integrative and Translational Genomics, the Downtown Memphis Chapter of the Lions Clubs International, the Center of Excellence of Genomics and Bioinformatics at The University of Tennessee Health Science Center, the Tennessee Mouse Genome Consortium, the International Society of Eye Research, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology. She is also a former member of the Association of Women Faculty at The University of Tennessee Health Science Center, the Student Medical Association for Animals in Research and Teaching, and the Wisconsin Association for Biomedical Research and Education.
Dr. Jablonski has received a number of awards in recognition of her professional success, contributions to science education, and outstanding and innovative developments in medicine. The University of Tennessee Health Science Center honored her as Inaugural Innovation Incubator in 2017, and with the Postdoctoral Research Trainee Distinguished Mentor Award in 2012 and Top Research Presentation Award in 1997. She was inducted into the Inaugural class of ARVO fellows in 2009 and, in recognition of her success in the industry, was featured in Cambridge Who's Who Registry of Executives, Professionals and Entrepreneurs. Her research was also on the cover of the journals Genomics in 2004 and Differentiation in 1995. In addition, Dr. Jablonski was also honored as one of a few selected to participate in the Inaugural Memphis Technology Transfer Accelerator (C3) Program at Memphis Research Consortium and Emerge Memphis in 2012. She received many other awards, honors and scholarships in recognition of her excellence in education, academia and research.
Dr. Jablonski was born in Milwaukee, WI, to Arnold Bernard Jablonski and Gertrude Angela (Steil) Jablonski. She is married to Daniel Burkholder and has two children, Drew and Luca. Outside of her career, Dr. Jablonski served her community as officer of the board and board member of the Richland Elementary Education Fund. She also served as a science fair judge with the Lausanne Collegiate School from 2003 to 2008. Additionally, Dr. Jablonski acted as the co-founder and co-chair of the educational programs in the mid-south chapter of the Foundation for Fighting Blindness in 2007.
In recognition of outstanding contributions to her profession and the Marquis Who's Who community, Dr. Jablonski has been featured on the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement website. Please visit www.ltachievers.com for more information about this honor.

A driver had a lucky escape after nearly plummeting down onto the N-340 where it passes through the Taramay tunnel. There was also collision near Urb. Alfamar.
The first accident occurred on Monday, not long after midday when for some unknown reason a smart car hit the crash barrier on the road that goes up over the tunnel on the eastern end. The vehicle was left dangling over a six metre drop.
The driver, a resident of Almuñécar, called the Policía Local, who called out the fire service to get the car back onto the road.
But those involved in another accident, this time yesterday morning and in front of Urbanización Alfamar, were not so lucky.
There was a collision around 10.30h resulting in four people being injured to varying degrees, two of whom were taken to Hospital Santa Ana in Motril.
It is not quite clear what exactly happened but it appears that one car invaded the oncoming lane resulting in the front of one car hitting the other in the side.
It took several hours to clear the wreckage and clean the road surface of leaked oil, which was carried out by the Almuñécar fire service.

Scalability on multiple GPUs
Scalability of DOBFS, BFS, and PR. {Strong, weak edge, weak vertex} scaling use rmat graphs with {224, 219, 219 × |GPUs|} vertices and edge factor {32, 256 × |GPUs|, 256} respectively. DOBFS runs have idempotence disabled, though results with idempotence enabled have similar runtimes.
While providing both weak-vertex and -edge scaling, DOBFS doesn't have good strong scaling, because its computation and communication are both roughly on the order of O(|Vi|). This effect is more obvious on P100, as computation is faster but inter-GPU bandwidth stays mostly the same. BFS and PR achieve almost linear weak and strong scaling from 1 to 8 GPUs.

Synthesizing theories of reading and rhetoric
Reading Ken Goodman's On Reading I felt like I was in a dialogue with the author, sometimes an argument. And this, I think, proves the main thrust of his theory—that the act of reading is the act of making sense. It is not often that I am so actively aware that I am thinking as I read but there was so much in Goodman's work with which I agreed and then, so much with which I disagreed that his notion of reading as "transacting" with a text was obvious. There is also a clear-cut division between where I agree with Goodman and where I disagree. Where I agree, his statements already line up with what I already think about reading and those points had the added bonus of being buttressed by Goodman's own observations of child readers. Where I disagree, I again use my own knowledge and Goodman fails to provide evidence to refute what I know. Once again, his theory is proven in my own reading of his book.
What I want to do with this journal entry is try to bring together Goodman's theory of reading, Killingsworth's theory of appeals in rhetoric, and my own thinking about plain language writing.
Goodman says readers construct their own meaning using their own values, understandings and experiences and I think Killingsworth and plain language writers would agree. Killingsworth argues that writers appeal to values shared by both the writer and the audience and take into consideration their audience's experiences and understanding of the world as they craft their appeals. Plain language writers do likewise but take the added step of researching their audiences to be able to take their values, experiences and understandings into account as they write. Plain language writers often use knowledge already possessed by the target audience as a jumping off point from which new information can be introduced. Likewise, Killingsworth says that good writers do the same through the crafting of appeals.
Goodman argues that reading is the counterpart to listening. Again, I think Killingsworth would agree, as he makes no distinction between the written appeal and the oral appeal. The same rules apply. Plain language writers would also agree since we advocate for the use of everyday speech in written communication and for familiar sentence structure. Plain language writers have long advocated for a conversational tone in writing.
However, Goodman repeatedly states that written language is learned the same way that oral language is learned. I can sort of see where he is going with this. His examples from real teachers in real classrooms show that children of all ages appear to be competent, independent readers and writers who use written language to gain meaning or to express meaning. But their classrooms are set up in a particular way and their teachers behave in a particular way. I would like to know what happens to these children after they leave school. Are they all as literate as they need to be, as Goodman is fond of saying? Or do they fall in line with the rest of the American population of which a good portion is not as literate as they need to be?
I don't want to dwell on how it is people learn to read because my focus is on communicating with people regardless of their literacy level. So my second quarrel with Goodman is his assertion that societies and individuals become as literate as they need to be. After reading his entire book, I found no evidence to back up this statement. Various literacy surveys (a new one is being announced at PLAIN 2013) show that many people are NOT as literate as they need to be. If everyone were naturally as literate as they needed to be, my work would be unnecessary. But people are compelled to go to court yet fail to do so; people need to take medications yet fail to read dosage instructions correctly; people throw important letters in the trash because they can't understand them or don't realize their importance. So no, Mr. Goodman, people everywhere are NOT literate more or less in proportion to their need and opportunity to be literate. This point is important because literacy is one of the things a writer must take into account when writing to a target audience. They must write with that literacy level in mind in order to appeal to the audience. If a writer does not take literacy into account when writing, they may as well be writing nonsense. For Goodman, himself says, "the ability to make sense of what we read is always limited by how much we already know about what we are reading." It goes back to why familiar words and sentence structure are important in writing; they help the reader to predict what is coming next.
Further, if societies were as literate as they need to be, why would Henry Milner feel the need to write Civic Literacy: How Informed Citizens Make Democracy Work. Obviously Milner feels there is room for improvement. In fact, he says so. His research shows that it is literacy that increases civic participation, not knowledge the system of government. "Within formal schooling, the acquisition of sophisticated reading comprehension skill is suggested to have more lasting impact on civic literacy than the content of civic literacy courses." In other words, it is people's ability to read and understand what they are reading that determines whether they are more likely to participate in society as citizens. And, Milner goes on to say, the more citizens participate in society, the better society becomes and meeting the needs of the citizens. But this takes work. Sweden, Milner argues, has a higher proportion of civic literacy than does Canada or the United States because it actively promotes literacy among its adults. So, contrary to societies and individuals being as literate as they need to be, as Goodman says, societies would do well to actively promote literacy as a lifelong learning endeavour.
Gramsci, too, would argue that societies and individuals are not as literate as they need to be for he instructed publisher specifically on how to write periodicals for "the common reader." It is clear that Gramsci believed that there was a way to communicate complex ideas to non-specialized audiences that would improve their understanding. He did not assume that these non-specialized audiences, the common reader, would naturally come to understand such notions if they needed to.
I do think that I agree more than disagree with Ken Goodman. Further, I think his theory lines up quite nicely with Killingsworth's theory of appeals and my experience as a plain language writer. Here are the points on which, I think, we all agree:
- reading is more about meaning than it is about words and letters
- readers actively search for meaning in a text through a process of prediction, confirmation, disconfirmation, and correction
- familiar words, familiar sentence structure, and familiar contexts facilitate reading
- readers use what they already know (their schema) to make meaning of text
- reading is the written language counterpart of listening
- readers remember what they understand, NOT what they read
- reading is a deliberate act, people choose to read and they choose not to read
Each of these bullets focus on the reader—what the reader does, what the reader knows. Is it any wonder that Killingsworth and plain language writers focus on the audience? Reading is entirely dependent on the reader! If the reader is the one making sense of the text, then it makes sense to frame one's writing based on what the reader wants or needs to know rather than on what the author wants to say.

- Denise Watson is backing the NSPCC's 'Parents in Sport Week', running from 1 to 7 October
- Children's charity campaigning to get more parents to take an active role in their kids sports clubs
The NSPCC's Child Protection in Sport Unit (CPSU) is calling on parents across Northern Ireland to take a more active role in youth sports clubs to ensure their children are safe and enjoying what they are doing.
'Parents in Sport Week' is an annual campaign led by CPSU to encourage parents and sports clubs to work together to ensure children are properly protected and reach their full potential. It is also an opportunity for sports clubs to reach out to parents who may be less engaged and get them on board.
Parents play a pivotal role in encouraging and supporting their child's participation, success and enjoyment when playing sport. The CPSU is also calling on them to check that all the safeguarding requirements of the youth sports club are being met in full.
Presenter Denise Watson said: "As a mum of two children who are heavily involved in sport, I know how important it is to support them. I'm there at the side-lines cheering them on and giving them encouragement all the way but it's vital to know they are safe. It is of paramount importance that sports clubs and parents work together to encourage children to take part and enjoy the activities, as well as ensuring they can thrive in a safe environment. That's why I'm backing the NSPCC's Parents in Sport Week"
Paul Stephenson, senior consultant at CPSU, explained: "We know parents play a critical role in youth sport. In fact, without parental support and involvement – from washing kits to the taxi of mum and dad – it's likely that youth sport would cease to exist.
"We also know that without parents' involvement in their child's sport, children are less likely to achieve and sustain a lifelong interest in sport and adopt a healthy lifestyle.
"Parents in Sport Week is important because it encourages parents to make sure they are positively influencing their child's involvement and wellbeing in sport and recognise their role in keeping them safe. It also encourages clubs to ensure they are engaging with parents."
This Parents in Sport Week, parents are being asked to:
- Ensure that sports clubs provide the information they need so they can make informed choices about the clubs or activities they send their child to.
- Look at their behaviour to make sure they are a positive influence. Advice is available on the CPSU website to support parents in this.
To lend their support, sports clubs can:
- Make sure they tell parents what they can do if they have a concern, such as calling the NSPCC helpline (0808 800 5000).
- Be open with parents about what their child needs from them in relation to their behaviour.
- Use our resources to engage with parents, help them to support their child and raise awareness of the impact positive parental involvement can have on youth sport.

My ultimate concierge and I just arrived back in Rancho Mirage after spending a week in Dubai; it was our second trip in eight years.
My husband's days fill up with meetings, as a past President of The International Real Estate Federation, otherwise known as FIABCI. The main headquarters is housed in Paris, France.
My days were filled with girlfriends and learning about the city of Dubai. As a world traveler, Dubai is the first city I have visited whose logo and brand are based on happiness.
How Dubai is Changing the Happiness Game
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai, is working towards fulfilling his vision of transforming Dubai into the world's smartest (infrastructure technology) and happiest city on Earth. The government believes that the key to growth and prosperity of every city is… happiness.
Dubai is a 'smart city,' the use of technology infrastructure in every form is used to develop a fully integrated, sustainable and happy community. Cities are not designed by their geography but by the people who live in them.
"Our vision is to deliver world-class smart (tech) services and infrastructure to create sustained citizen, resident, and visitor happiness," says Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the third Ruler of Dubai's leading family.
My Reflections
I had plenty of time to think about the Sheikh's reasoning. Our flight was 17 hours long with no stops. I also thought about how the city I live in makes me feel. I am happy!
In my beautiful Chicago, the infrastructure, the parks, the museums, the walkways, the lakefront, the marinas, the city lights, and our condo in the middle of the city provide me with total happiness. The city planners meet my emotional needs.
Dubai's vision of a technological smart city will make life in Chicago even happier if the city planners grasp its importance.
In Dubai, each bus stop's little house is air-conditioned for its citizens, and there are no traffic jams because roads and neighborhoods are near shopping centers, so people are not lonely. Medicine and education are very high tech, and its citizens pay no taxes of any kind.
Therefore, when a citizen of Dubai leaves his home for work or play, Dubai meets his or her needs through its planning of smart cities.
What is Internal Happiness?
Happiness is above all, an attitude. Without a doubt, negative forces enter all of our lives. Therefore, we have to create our personal Shangri-La.
I believe Mohamed and I live our lives creating our personal Shangri-La. We were dinner partners one evening, and we immediately connected. I probably could have been his grandmother! But age had no bearing on our connection. Happiness did.
Our discussion was all over the map, and no matter what we touched on, I felt genuinely happy. He did too. Hopefully, he will bring his family to Chicago, and we will show them our city. He has traveled to the USA. He loves New York and LA and was planning on visiting Chicago, but his wife got pregnant with their third child and was due when they were scheduled to travel to Chicago. We laughed.
All About Attitude!
Mohamed and I are faced with life's problems just like you are. Hardships and disappointments interfere with our joy, our happiness. It is natural.
Where you and Mohamed and I may differ is how we handle the hardship or disappointment.
Here is a little vignette.
Our house in California has not sold. A few weeks ago I finally buried St. Joseph under my favorite Olive tree that represents God. I am betting on St Joseph. It is my attitude. Yesterday we received an email from our realtor that someone wants to see the house. I turned to my husband and said, "I know it is because I buried St. Joseph." And, suddenly, I was happy. It is my attitude.
Any person can change their attitude with discipline…if they want to.
I have had this attitude since I was a young girl growing up in Kankakee by the Sea. I taught myself how to be happy because I guess I did not like feeling unhappy. Makes sense. So, I would dig my heels in and figure out the root of my dilemma, and I immediately began to feel happy because I was determined not to be unhappy.
How to be Happy
Happiness is your choice.
Happiness is your attitude.
Knowing why you are unhappy and taking action is how you will own your happiness.
Darlings, you have the tools to be happy because you have had years to figure out who you are, what you need, what you like, what you don't like, what your failings tend to be, the company you enjoy and the company you don't. You know your skills, and quite frankly, you do know what makes you happy.
My God, you are a walking encyclopedia of knowledge of the 'you in you.' So get off your bum and ease yourself into a mindset of happiness. Working at it will make you the happiest.
Just ask Mohamed and me. We know…
How do you own your happiness? Please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below or on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Is a yeast that is found most commonly in the mouth, digestive system and genital tract. We all have Candida but it is when it is abundant and begins to take over our bacterial balance that it begins to cause a problem. It otherwise more commonly known as thrush. Candida thrives on sugar and yeast in the body. So foods that contain this are best avoided for a period of time whilst the person uses a good quality friendly bacteria to re-gain good bacteria balance in the body once again.
When you are able to see Candida in the body it will show as white – cream patches on the skin, in the mouth, penis or vagina. It can also be present in the gut which is hard to see but you will not feel 100% if you have it high amounts.
Candida can occur in babies all the way up to the elderly.
Candida can also affect the immune system and many people report of feeling generally unwell when they have it in high amounts.

The recipes I've devised require minimal time and effort, can be made ahead of time and are scrumptious and special.
Fig and almond log
A sophisticated, utterly moreish addition to the cheese board which partners particularly well with blue cheese.
I do love this combination of dried fruits and almonds, moistened with Cointreau, so for me it's a tempting nibble at any time of the day and it's not too sweet. A slice or two, just a little snack is perfect with that mid-morning coffee.
You can happily make the log several weeks in advance and store it covered in the fridge. Please don't forget about it and leave it languishing at the back of the fridge when the big day finally arrives.
MAKES 36 to 40 SLICES
400g dried figs, stalks removed
100g dried pitted dates
100g New Zealand dried apricots
80g crystallised ginger
2 Tbsp lemon juice
3 Tbsp Cointreau or other citrus-based liqueur or orange juice
120g ground almonds
Cut the figs, dates and dried apricots in half and place in a microwave proof bowl, add crystallised ginger. Sprinkle with lemon juice and Cointreau, toss the fruits in the liquid, cover and microwave on 50% power for two minutes. This adds flavour and softens the dried fruit, making it easier for the food processor to chop.
Cool and tip into a food processor and using the pulse button, coarsely chop the fruit. Add the ground almonds and mix thoroughly until well combined.
Place mixture on a work surface lightly sprinkled with icing sugar and using your hands knead all together to form two logs approximately 20cm long. Wrap each very loosely in foil, this is important, as it allows the logs to dry slightly and firm up. I find 3-4 days is long enough for this to happen.
Store in the fridge. Once the rolls are firm they can be tightly wrapped in foil and stored in the fridge for up to 2 months.
To serve
Cut into slices approximately 1cm thick and place on a cheeseboard.
Fig and prosciutto wraps
This is several simple recipes rolled into one. Each can be served separately and quite differently.
The figs can be served just as they are as part of a cheeseboard. Lift the figs from the syrup, drain but leave enough spicy liquid clinging to them so they glisten when added to the cheese platter. Or pack the figs with a little of the syrup into a pretty lidded glass jar, wrap in clear cellophane and tie with a ribbon.
This is a tempting treat to make as a gift. Accompany with a wedge of blue cheese and some cracker biscuits.
And finally the grainy, luscious figs can be wrapped in pink, salty prosciutto and served as a nibble with pre-dinner drinks - a superbly indulgent bite, especially good with a good bottle of bubbles.
375ml bottle ginger beer
3 Tbsp raw sugar
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground ginger
300g dried figs (about 16), stalks removed
30g crystallised ginger, finely chopped
Two 70g packets prosciutto (approximately 28 paper-thin slices of prosciutto)
In a medium-sized saucepan combine the ginger beer, raw sugar, cinnamon and ground ginger and bring to the boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Add the figs and crystallised ginger, gently simmer, lid off, for 10-15 minutes until the liquid is a little syrupy. Cool and store covered in the fridge. The figs will keep for several weeks.
When ready to assemble the wraps (up to six hours before serving) separate the slices of prosciutto and fold each slice lengthways then cut each folded slice in half crossways.
Lift the figs from the syrup and remove any excess syrup. Cut each fig in half and place on a folded slice of prosciutto, then roll or fold the prosciutto around the fig to make a small parcel. Arrange on a serving platter, cover and refrigerate until needed.

Political Panel: Snowplows, Seniors, Insurance and Ferguson
With the deficit on the rise, the province is looking at some interesting ways of raising money and cutting expenses, including introducing highway tolls, reducing snowplowing and road salt, and increasing the co-payment ceiling low-income seniors pay when filling prescriptions. But the week wasn't entirely focused on finance. Michel Leger and his insurance working group recommend boosting the cap on soft-tissue injuries, and Michael Ferguson is the new Auditor General. Our political panel - Michael Camp, Lisa Keenan and Luc Desjardins - discusses it all.

The Blue Jackets have recalled center Derek MacKenzie on an emergency basis from minor-league Syracuse this morning. This should be seen as a sign that center Derick Brassard is out tonight against the San Jose Sharks.
Brassard was slashed late in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over Washington by Caps winger Mike Knuble. He returned to play in that game, and X-rays on Monday were negative. But his right hand remains swollen and weakened, sources say.
The Blue Jackets have lots of options at center. Brassard was playing on the No. 2 line, but R.J. Umberger could slot into that position with Nikita Filatov on his left and Jake Voracek on his right. Or Umberger could move up to the No. 1 line, with Antoine Vermette dropping back between Raffi Torres and Voracek.
Dispatch reporter Tom Reed will provide a full report from the morning skate.

Outsource Your Customer Calls to Save Yourself Time and Trouble
Are you sick of being on the phone for hours every day? Have customer calls become so numerous that you're having trouble getting things done? If even your employees are getting bogged down under the weight of non-stop customer calls, it's time to take action. Of course, you can't refuse to answer calls from your customers. This would be a very bad move, especially if you want to keep your positive public image. However, you can outsource your customer calls to professional call center services. This is the best way to make sure your customers get great service.
Not Every Business Owner Is A Born Customer Service Professional
Let's face it. Not every business owner is also a born customer service representative. There are plenty of things that you may have the knack for. But spending several hours on the phone every day may not be one of them. You have plenty of other tasks that demand your immediate attention. You can't run your business from a cell phone, so why should you spend your entire day talking on one? The best solution to avoid this unfruitful waste of time is to hand over all of your customer calls to a paid professional who can handle this task.
If You Don't Want To Lose Customers, You'll Need To Keep Them Happy
It's a truism that if you don't want to lose your customers' good will and patronage, you'll need to do everything in your power to keep them happy. But does this mean that you have to spend hours on the phone each day, guiding your customers through the buying process or answering a million questions? After all, you do have an official business site that is designed to answer most, if not all, of your customer's questions. Why should you have to spend additional hours of your own time holding their hand through each detail of their transactions on your site?
Outsource Customer Calls To Give Yourself The Freedom You Need
It all comes down to being able to multitask. You may be an expert at handling several things at once. But how many times have you been interrupted in the course of your activities by a customer call that refuses to end? You're professional enough to be patient and conciliating to a valued customer. But how many of these calls do you have to take before you lose your patience? This is a question that you never need to find out the answer to. It's much easier and safer to outsource this duty.
A Customer Service Representative Knows How To Handle Customer Calls
Instead of handling the calls all by yourself, give the job to someone who is paid to take calls and, for this reason, more than happy to receive them all through the day. This puts money in their pocket and gives you the time you need to catch your breath and get started on the thousand other tasks that demand your time and attention on a daily basis. It's a situation in which everyone: the customer, the customer service rep, your employees, and yourself will benefit from. The sooner you make this change, the better it will be for your business.

National & World Ag News Headlines
Germany Confirms Nine More ASF Cases in Wild Boar
USAgNet - 09/24/2020
Another nine cases of African swine fever (ASF) have been confirmed in wild boars in the eastern German state of Brandenburg, Germany's federal agriculture ministry said on Wednesday.
The new discoveries bring the total number of confirmed cases to 29 since the first on Sept. 10, all in wild animals, and all in the Brandenburg area. No farm animals were involved.
Germany's Friedrich-Loeffler scientific institute has confirmed the latest animals had ASF, the ministry said. The Brandenburg regional government has decided to build a fixed fence to prevent wild boar crossing into Germany from Poland, German federal agriculture minister Julia Kloeckner said, a decision that the federal government had welcomed.
China and a series of other buyers banned imports of German pork this month after the first case was confirmed. Last year China was the main non-EU export market for German pork.
The disease is not dangerous to humans but is fatal to pigs, and a massive outbreak currently ongoing in China, the world's biggest pork producer, has led to hundreds of millions of animals being culled.
Germany had feared a spread of the disease after wild boar in Poland were confirmed only about 10 kilometres from Germany in past months. Several hundred kilometres of temporary cattle fences had been set up along Germany's border with Poland.
A permanent border fence could make a contribution to preventing the further spread of ASF but there would still be unfenced areas along roads and towns, Kloeckner said.

I'm 61 and planning on retiring in 4 or 5 years. My question is about superannuation as I'd like some advice of how much I can put into my super and is a self-managed fund a good idea at my age?
Hi Fred
You need to get professional advice from Financial Advisor. To setup a SMSF you need to have a certain amount in the fund for it to be worth while.
Hi Fred,
There are annual caps on what you can put into super. The concessional limit is typically for contributions made by your employer or via salary sacrifice, this limit is currently $25.000 pa.
There's another limit called the non-concessional limit which is for after tax money you might have in a bank account for example, this is currently $100,000 pa.
You really need to be careful of contributions made in previous years as it's really easy to slip up here.
An SMSF could be great at your age, I have many clients with them of varying ages. There's lots to consider regarding SMSF, super balance is one of them.
You really do need professional personal financial advice in there's areas. There's no substitute to taking through your unique situation with an adviser.
I'm happy to help if you want to reach out. Phone or Skype would work great given the distance between us.
Let me know if I can help.
Hi Fred,
You can contribute up to $25,000 per year through your employer and up to $100,000 from your own funds. You can contribute a maximum total of $300,000 of personal funds in any three year period.
In my opinion, I think that the time frame is possibly too short to warrant a self managed super fund. As all investments require time to mature and smooth out returns you would run the risk of having negative total returns if you needed to withdraw money at age 65.
You really should speak with a trusted financial planner who can consider your full financial position, your earning capacity and your life and financial goals before presenting the most suitable options available.
Best of luck
