On this episode of "LevinTV," Mark Levin discussed that, until recently, he had never heard of the media requesting that transcripts of conversations between the president of the United States and another head of state be made public.
Also, Levin explained that the push Democrats, and the media, who are trying to frame Trump as a "secret Russian spy," is not only unprecedented, it is absurd.
According to Levin, the notion that a "secret Russian spy" could be elected president while flying completely under the radar, without leaving a single trace of evidence, is illogical.

Is Your Kid Over Caffeinated?
Published October 25, 2018
Reviewed September 2018
Caffeine is not just in in sodas, coffee, tea and energy drinks — more and more "wired" food products, such as gum, jelly beans, sunflower seeds, marshmallows and instant oatmeal are on the market today. Approximately 75 percent of children, adolescents and young adults in the United States consumes caffeine, a compound that stimulates the central nervous system. In small doses, caffeine may help people of all ages feel more alert, awake or energetic. But what if you have more than just a little? In large doses, caffeine may cause irritability, impaired calcium metabolism, anxiety, rapid heart rate, elevated blood pressure and sleep problems. In fact, one study found that kids who consumed the most caffeine slept the fewest hours.
Since caffeine is in common beverages including colas and teas, parents and others may unknowingly offer excessive amounts of caffeine to children. Teens often deliberately consume large amounts.
Some teens find that caffeine helps them perform better in school and on tests. If your teen carries a heavy academic load, caffeine-containing foods and beverages may be tempting to help improve concentration during school and then again at night to stay up late for studying. Unfortunately, this can create a cycle of being unable to sleep because of the effects of caffeine, consuming more caffeine to fight fatigue from lack of sleep and then having trouble falling asleep again.
How Much is Too Much?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has no set guidelines for safe caffeine consumption for children — for adults, the FDA has cited 400 milligrams a day or the equivalent of 4 to 5 cups of coffee as safe. The Canadian government, however, recommends the following daily caffeine limits for children.
- Ages 4 – 6 years: 45 milligrams, about the amount in one can of cola
- Ages 7 – 9 years: 62 milligrams
- Ages 10 to 12 years: 85 milligrams
The American Academy of Pediatrics discourages the use of caffeine and other stimulants by children and adolescents.
Helping your Kids Limit Caffeine
If your kids act jittery or anxious, or if they have trouble sleeping, reducing their caffeine intake is a smart idea. Since coffee, tea and soft drinks contribute more caffeine to the diet than other foods and beverages, limiting these beverages is a good place to start. Steer clear of foods with added caffeine. Children and adolescents should completely avoid these products.
If it's energy your kids are seeking, getting to bed earlier or taking a short nap is more productive than consuming caffeine that offers pep for a short time, but may interfere with sleep later that evening.

The basics of fishing clear water
A few years ago a friend decided to learn how to fish clear water. He hired a guide,to teach him.
The guides advice was, "The best way to learn how to fish deep in clear water is to fish at night, using a black-light and fluorescent line."
"There are two keys to successful deep-water fishing."
Key one: watch for line movement. Key two: sense what is happening to the bait.
At night 6-pound test fluorescent line looks like a rope when viewed with a black-light.
Watch the line while feeling everything that is going on with your hands. A line that goes slack or twitches on the fall may be the only signal of a bite.
A slight variation in the feel or rhythm of the bait can also mean a bite.
Next, and still at night, and still using fluorescent line and a night-light, fishing with spinnerbaits, crankbaits and Texas-rigged worms. He taught him to feel the rhythm of a deep, slow-rolling spinnerbait and a deep running crankbait.
Often baits can be inhaled, then exhaled with the only indication being a momentary interruption of rhythm.
And when fishing on the bottom with plastic, the bite will either be a heavy feel or line movement. Seldom do you actually feel a fish.
The trick is to mentally visualize what the bait is doing and set the hook when something is different.
Try to sense the feeling of "I just hung up on a dish-rag feel."

Italian fresh produce company Battaglio has unveiled a new corporate identity that it says will help to reinvigorate consumer interest in fresh fruit and vegetables while reflecting its desire to keep meeting the growing demand for fresh produce it sees in the market.
The new image, which incorporates a marketing slogan 'Fruit to Live', is said to reflect the company's "enthusiasm, creativity and energy" as it marks four-and-a-half decades of growth in the international fresh produce business.
From its modest origins as a trader on the Turin wholesale market, the company has become one of Italy's leading fresh fruit importers, as well as a key player on the international fresh produce market with its own operations in Argentina.
The arrival of what its head of marketing Stefano Minola refers to as 'Battaglio 4.0', is a significant step in the group's development.
Handling around 160,000 tonnes of fruit from the Southern Hemisphere each year – mainly exotics, especially bananas and pineapples but also citrus, grapes, melons, kiwifruit and pears – the company is now a major service provider to the modern retail trade, which currently accounts for 80 per cent of its annual traded volume. In 2017, it expects to see its overall revenue rise by around 15 per cent to €180m.
The vitality of its business is very much the result of the energy it has put into developing its network of suppliers and customers in recent years, Minola says.
"The company's new image is conveyed by the logo and how it is used, combining the values of enthusiasm, creativity and energy that Battaglio expresses every day through the quality of its products and its services," he explains.
"We're introducing a strong and memorable icon that sums up the history of the brand: a shape reminiscent of a planisphere and, at the same time, the outline of a fruit composed of fruits originating from all over the world in their bright and vibrant colours; and at the centre, Battaglio's initial in the new colour code, the new identity's beating heart."

We tied a knot and took the marriage vows. In each step I'd hold you tight - in the highs and the lows. Your smile, my blush. Is His grace, I trust.
Be there, with me - as my BFF - and we shall sail afar. In this life and more to come, I pray for us, under the shooting star.
My Favourite Friendship Band is a simple design with a simpler message – Friendship is the bond that holds a Marriage and makes it truly beautiful with its "no expectation – no demand" formula. The black gold Mangalsutra is the traditional Indian sacred ("Mangal") cord ("Sutra") that is tied around the neck of the bride by the groom during the wedding rituals. The BFF (Best Friends Forever) lock is what seals the marriage cord for eternity with its un-parallel care and understanding.

Dynamically extend android apps with Beanshell
George Argyrakis
Android, programming, java, sample, scripting
What is Beanshell?
BeanShell is a small, free, embeddable Java source interpreter with object scripting language features, written in Java. BeanShell dynamically executes standard Java syntax and extends it with common scripting conveniences such as loose types, commands, and method closures like those in Perl and JavaScript.
Scripting features:
- Optionally typed variables.
- Scripted methods with optionally typed arguments and return values
- Scripted objects (method closures)
- Scripted interfaces and event handlers.
- Convenience syntax for working with JavaBean properties, hashtables, and primitive wrapper types.
- Auto-allocation of variables to emulate Java properties files.
- Extensible set of utility and shell-like commands
- Dynamic classpath management including find grained class reloading
- Dynamic command loading and user command path
- Sophisticated namespace and callstack management
- Detailed error reporting
- Scripting extension for applications - Allow your applications to be extended via scripts in an intuitive and simple way.
- Macro Languages - Generate scripts as macros and execute them live in your VM easily.
- Expression evaluator for scientific, financial apps and rules engines - evaluate complex expressions with conditions and loops.
- Remote debugging - Embed a live, remotely accessible shell / command line in your application with just a few lines of code.
- Use BeanShell declaratively to replace properties files and replace startup config files with real scripts that perform complex initialization and setup with the full Java syntax at their disposal.
How to Use it:
The best way to understand the power of beanshell is through an example. Let's create a sample android app that will execute arbitrary code of user's choice.
Gradle Setup:
Create a new app and add the following gradle dependency.
compile 'org.beanshell:bsh:2.0b5'
Activity Layout:
Create a simply layout with one edit text and one button.
The edit text will hold the java code and the button will execute it.
Initialize beanshell
First create a new interpreter that will evaluate our scripts:
Interpreter interpreter = new Interpreter();
Then of the activity we pass any variable we will refer to it directly from script:
interpreter.set("myapp", this); //a reference to activity
interpreter.set("code", findViewById(R.id.editTextCode));
interpreter.set("button", findViewById(R.id.buttonRun));
Optionally we can enable a server at [device ip]:[portnum] to remotely run commands:
interpreter.set("portnum", 1234); // set port
interpreter.eval("setAccessibility(true)"); // turn off access restrictions
interpreter.eval("server(portnum)"); // enable server
Run Code
Finally, on button click listener we will run the code in edittext:
Sample Code
Following are some samples you can try and run inside the app:
// myapp: variable passed to the interpreter
import android.widget.Toast;
Toast.makeText(myapp, "This is a Toast from beanshell", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
// code: variable passed to the interpreter
import android.support.design.widget.Snackbar;
Snackbar.make(code,"This is a Snackbar from beanshell",Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG).show();
// Run on UI thread
code.post(new Runnable() {public void run() {button.setText(\"Changed from code\");} });
If you have enabled server you can connect and run commands either at http://[device ip]:[portnum] or with telnet at [device ip]:[portnum+1]. I recommend using putty with Connection Type =Raw.

choke on it.
it hit me earlier this week, and i remembered again tonight - something i wanted to tell you.
jesus is a mirror. a mirror pulsing with love and acceptance. but a mirror nevertheless.
sometimes i see what's in it and i am so so so happy.
and sometimes i just want to choke on what's there. i don't like what it's telling me. i don't want to look into my own shadow, or fear, or shame.
and yet, every time i do, i find the love and acceptance behind what i started to choke on and reject.
so, jesus is a mirror. my wish for you is that you look all the way in, and then even if you choke on what you see, keep looking.

i've been listening, and thinking ... and i made a huge leap that surprised me.
i think, honestly, that obama wants to move forward into a different america. he wants us to think differently, better. like all the great prophets - washington and jefferson and lincoln, mlk and bobby kennedy, bono and susan b. anthony - these are people who were inviting the people around them to think differently, to be different. to take america up on its dream for itself.
there will always, always, always be backlash against this invitation. fear makes us recoil, and reject.
race is indeed powerful in this country. at some point i think we all had to deal with the reality: barack obama is a person of color. this is the unfortunately messy way in which the subject is being dealt with - like a scab being ripped off. and now we're being faced with a question:
what will we do about ourselves? because this isn't about obama - it's about us.
and ... having said that ...
i don't like it when someone comes up and tells me about me. listen to me first. help me listen to you, about you. i need to know you, know what your experience is, what you care about, what you're afraid of, what you're passionate about. and only then would i dare for a moment to tell you anything about you.
but in politics, it's the candidates' job - and the commentators' job, and the advisors' job, and the writers' job - to tell everybody The Insight, The Answer, including saying to the other guys, This Is Who I Say You Are ... "here is the deal with you, candidate." "here are the differences between you and me on this issue." "your plan won't work because ..."
there's only so much of this i can listen to before i get depressed, angry, apathetic.

hatred and hope
the pastor said these things to an african-american church in the politically corrupt city of chicago, about the evils of racism in america.
absolutely. and well he should have.
if the gospel isn't about overturning the tables of the rich who oppress the poor, what was jesus doing?
if the gospel isn't about fighting for the rights of the poor and oppressed, why did jesus say his mission was "to give sight to the blind, give hope to the oppressed, set the prisoner free"? did he mean that only theoretically, or was he much more of a radical than we think?
the gospel has given hope to the oppressed throughout history - the christians in rome, for instance, or the poor in many countries, including latin america, where "liberation theology" became important. it's about the liberation of the poor. that comes from questioning - and challenging - the powers that be.
the gospel's message of god's self-declaration to moses and the israelites - "i am the god who brought you out of egypt, and made you free instead of slaves" - gave african-descended slaves in america hope.
Obama said today that the original sin of america is slavery.
i say, its children are all the forms of racism which still exist.
Obama also said that his pastor made a mistake; as a man who had lived in Jim Crow segregation, and had not experienced anywhere near the change he and his people longed for, the pastor did not see that enough progress had been made in opening america's power to the formerly disenfranchised. the pastor was angry that it wasn't changing. he was stirring his people up, challenging them.
this is what the prophets do throughout the bible.
the pastor quotes the jewish and christian scriptures, which say that if a nation does what is wrong in the sight of the lord, the lord damns that nation.
well, this nation's continued prejudice and fear-based territorial thinking have indeed been damn-worthy. i'm with him. it's what i think jesus wants, as well - set this nation's beautiful dreams free by fighting against every system and decision which keeps us from being fully what we can be - a land in which all men and women are equal.
in this country, today, an african-american man, a descendant of african slaves and european american immigrants, is really really close to being elected as president of the united states. that's amazing. beautiful. it makes me proud of this country and how far we've come.
Obama said today that his former pastor just couldn't see that so much progress had been made, and for that the pastor was wrong.
i agree.
and how many of us have ever worked in a company, or been members of a church, or been part of a family, in which the ceo or parent or pastor said things we didn't agree with - but we saw the greater good in that person? i think that's what's happened here.
if this is what brings Obama down, i am sad that this country cannot see itself more clearly. because we've still got a long way to go. i am proud of us, that we're working so hard. but we're not there yet.
is it wrong to preach hate? yes.
is it wrong to call people to what the prophets all called people to - namely, the "zeal of the lord" for what is right and a passion for challenging what isn't as it should be?
no. it is not wrong.
a far greater wrong is apathy in the face of what isn't right - the apathy of the american christian church, for instance, toward the poor ... the very hypocrisy that turns so many people off about church - the apathy of the christian church toward prejudice and racism and sexism and violence are all SINS.
so, that pastor was pissed off? he was angry with america? hey, america, if you can't handle that there's legitimacy in that, get tougher. as they say, if that's the straw that broke your camel's back, you need a stronger camel.

not much of a messiah
But it was wrapped in plastic and all tied up. And I had said to do it. It was for worship. But still. It was awful.
It was Palm Sunday, the day when Jesus' so-called Triumphal Entry into the center of the world, Jerusalem, signaled the coming of the conquering King, The Messiah, or Chosen One. The Son of David, who would occupy the throne of the great symbolic king of Israel and who would bring the reign of God on earth. God in charge. God making all things right. And, the Son of God, who would cleanse the Temple of all that wasn't purely God's intention in the Jewish Law, and embody Torah's heart. He would reconnect Israel to its roots in God's Law, and all the world would come to Jerusalem for salvation. That was what everyone had been expecting, for a thousand years. The Messiah would bring "righteousness" - that is, everything would be as God wants it to be. And crush Rome.
Jesus didn't ride into town with a chariot and an army. He rode in on a borrowed donkey, or a colt, depending on which Gospel you read. His followers were thrilled; they sang the songs about the Messiah, and sang the Messiah-is-coming song, with the words "Hosannah! The One who comes in the Name of Yahweh is blessed!" ("hosannah" means "save us!"). But it was hardly a triumphant entry of a conquering king. Way to ruin everybody's expectations. Jerk.
Jesus spent the week talking about what he understood God's righteousness really meant: love, and humility, and caring for the poor. He argued with the religious teachers about God's nature and how to live out God's Law, and parried back at the Temple authorities to whom he was a threat. And then Rome crushed him.
What Jesus was talking about isn't spectacular; it's quiet. It's small. It's seen in relationships between people, and serving humbly, and practicing love. Jesus taught his followers that, and they practiced it, and some people - crushed people, crucified people, people who were allowing themselves to be changed and transformed - were infected with what Jesus' God. And so are we. Crushed, crucified, changed, transformed people.
I'm not waiting for the conquering Messiah. Screw that. It just wraps God in plastic.
Jesus was a loving, patient, courageous Messiah. And we are the Messiah, now. We are here to be that vision of God. Of God's righteousness - of what God wants the world to be like. No parades, no armies, no politics, no earthly power. It's better than that.
When that happens, the plastic wrapping on God that we build when we contain God with our expectations comes falling down.

missionary impossible
i am tired of the institutional church. i hope journey ifc never becomes an institutional church. in fact, i'm determined it won't.
how can you keep that from happening? stay real. do constant self-examination, tell the truth to yourself and one another, question everything that smells remotely like the culture, have faith, have no plan except love, and stay humble. follow jesus. everything the church uses, is for loving god and loving people. get rid of stuff. let go of what you don't need and hold tight to what you know god's telling you.
and even then, don't ever be afraid to say to god, We might not know what we're doing at all - feel free to screw things up if it'll keep us on track for you and your kingdom.
yeah, all that scares me. but that's good. those scared parts of me need to die anyway, and be resurrected into courage and obedience.

let's talk about love
anyway, here's part of mike's email:
I remember someone saying that the Eskimos have like a zillion words for "ice" or "snow." Different words conveying different meanings -- for instance, whether the "ice" would be sufficient to bear a man's weight. I got to thinking about "love." Of course, I remember all the sermons about the Greek words for love. But I don't really remember seeing or reading much about OUR words for love. It strikes me that our capacity for taking in the meaning of "love" and thus for God (since God is love), might be limited by conventional wisdom, that is, the very distinctions and meanings that our language allows.
So I thought about creating a taxonomy of our words relating to "love" Something like:
True love
Puppy love
Bad love (per Eric Clapton)
Good lovin' (per Rascals)
Platonic love
Easy love
Unrequited Love
Luv love
Romantic love
Making love
Strange Love
Love your enemies
Love is such sweet sorrow
You can probably think of many, many more. So God is "love" and all of those expressions are the way we use "love" in the stories that are our lives. What are the commonalities? What are the distinctions? How does God fit into those expressions? Transcend them?So, let's try it. comment and list more ways we use the word "love." don't worry that mike and i are riffing on what that says about our capacity to feel and see what god is, at least in part, if god is love. just throw some this way that explore different ways we understand "love" in our culture ...
i thought of:
love is a many-splendored thing
i love chocolate
i love my wife
i love taking naps
love bears all things, hopes all things, endures all things
love stinks
who loves you, baby?
baby love
love you baby
love hurts
love of country
i don't love you anymore
i love my boyfriend/girlfriend so much!

i don't like it when you go back to work
a man came around the corner. he was 40ish. tall. nice clothes - not a suit, but nice slacks and pressed shirt. shined boots. crisp haircut. he looked determined to leave. i heard a boy call out behind him. the man stopped.
"don't go, daddy!" the boy cried. "i don't like it when you go back to work!"
behind me - i couldn't see the table - i heard the mom say, "but daddy has to go back to work, honey." the boy came around and the dad turned and picked him up. the son looked about four years old. the man held the boy and said, quietly, "daddy has to go back to the office, but i'll see you at home tonight. it won't be long." he held the boy, who had his little arms wrapped around the dad's neck. the son was crying. not sobbing, just sad. "don't go, daddy," he said; "don't go back to work."
i heard the mom say something about going to the park. then a grandmother at the table joined in; she said something about them all going to the park, and getting ice cream. "yeah," the mom said, trying to be cheerful, and at the same time, make this happen, "we're going to have lots of fun. we'll see daddy in just a little while."
then the dad, who was still holding the boy, set the boy down on the floor, and looked at him, and put his arms on the boy's shoulders, and said, "it's okay. daddy has to go back to work. stay with mama and grandma." and then he added, "shake it off."
it wasn't mean; it was just the dad's way of instructing his son about how to deal with this emotion of sadness. "shake it off."
the mother and grandmother and father were all working to achieve a series of objectives for what they felt needed to happen that day. daddy has to go back to work. daddy has a job. daddy has to be at the job, so daddy can keep the job. we need the money daddy makes, in order to live in our house and have our cars and eat at this nice restaurant and live in this nice city. you need to get used to being separated from your parents. it's a useful and necessary skill in order for you to grow up and be successful in your life. mama and daddy need to know you can do this, so they can feel like they're being good parents, and not feel fear that they're doing a bad job. grandma is here; she may judge mama and daddy as being bad parents, or the boy as being spoiled. i dunno what else was on their list of factors that were involved behind their leading this boy toward what they felt needed to happen.
they were using reason. coaxing. instructing. inserting rational thinking and consequences/rewards so that the boy would do what they wanted him to. it makes sense. it's how the world works. the interjection of reason over emotion. it's how things work.
and it struck me as - odd. not uncommon; it's very common. it's what we do. but it was just weird.
the boy's need and feelings were deep, visceral. he didn't want his daddy to go. i have no idea what is going on in that family's dynamic, their relationships, how much daddy works, whether the mama's a good mother, or whether home is an unsafe place when daddy's not there, or if daddy's emotionally distant and the boy misses him and wants to be close to him. i don't know.
but i know that feeling - please, don't go. don't leave me. i miss you. i'm sad when you're not here.
i know the deep, down-in-the-bones-and-balls feeling of loneliness and loss. you do, too, i bet. and i felt for the boy.
i felt for the parents, too, having two children of my own, and remembering my own sadness when we'd have to teach the children, as these parents were doing, about how life works, and how we have to put our emotions in the places where they go, so that we can participate in our culture in the way it works.
the boy relented, and said he'd go with mama and grandma to the park. the dad came back around the corner.
he had a serious look on his face. was he sad? angry? feeling guilty or lost? or just ready to get back to the office or the truck or his next client? i don't know. but he didn't look happy, or even reassured. he passed me with his head down.
i wondered, what would have happened if the dad had taken the afternoon off? it was a tuesday; tuesdays aren't a day to take off; they're days to get things done. but what if? it was a gorgeously sunny day. what if he'd said, Y'know, fuck it - i'm taking my son to the park. or, i'm going to go home with my son, and let's put on our pajamas and pile into bed and watch a dvd and eat popcorn. what if he'd said to his boss, I'm taking the afternoon to do something important, and i'll get to my emails this evening.
would it have been possible for him to do that, and keep his commitments as well? i don't know anything about his story, his work life, his feelings about his productivity - whether it was fear that drove him, or a sense of responsibility. maybe this was an important lesson for this son to learn; maybe the kid was manipulative and bratty and had been insisting on pushing his parents around.
but i can usually tell the difference between someone who is sincerely in pain, and someone who is projecting their pain. and this kid just wanted to be with his daddy.
i know, our culture says to us, when we're sad or lost or confused or tired, "shake it off." i know, that's the "right" thing to do. but i see so many people who've been shaking it off for years, decades - and at some point, the deep loss and sadness and emptiness and longing in their soul can't or won't be ignored anymore, and they just need. they just need. and they can't stuff it down and shake it off anymore. and i hear them say, in all sorts of ways, Daddy, don't go back to work.
sometimes they turn to something beautiful, and find hope and meaning and redemption. sometimes they don't.

I'm alive!!!! Boy, have my days been filled with photo shoots, blogger events, conferences, youth group obligations, fundraisers and family (not in that order ;D). I have soooooo many posts and pictures to share of all mentioned activities but FIRST I have to share a recent trip to the dapper Mr. Mac for the Mr's new suit! Guys, I'm in LOVE!!!!!! One of my responsibilities in church is being the camp director for all the young women in our congregation/ward. Our huge fundraiser was a carnival and BOY did that take a lot of imagination and hard work.....and I loved every second of it LOL! I'll post more on that later. At said carnival we had a live auction and the most aMAZing things were donated.
One such donation was a full suit from Mr. Mac in American Fork, Utah. Guys, this place is leGIT and the owner just happens to live in our neighborhood. Well, I knew the Mr. was eyeing that particular item but I knew a lot of other men were too. I was attending to other duties while the auction took place but BOY did I know that he got it when I saw his face!!! He was pretty excited albeit a little nervous to tell me lol. The day of his suit fitting I posted a pic on IG of the final four suits we were debating on.
The response was heeeaaaavily weighted to suit number ONE. We really did love number four with it's brilliant blue hue but sooooo many people have wanted it that it's on back order for forever and harder to get. Weeeeelllllll, we went with......
Number ONE!!!!! After he was measured and taken care of we were told our suit would be ready in a matter of days! These guys don't mess around and the finished result was more than we expected. The coat is like butter and the pants fit him like a glove. I demanded a fashion show and after a few minutes of prodding he relented (I think he was excited too but didn't want to appear too eager ha!). Now, let's take a moment while the Mr. changes into his new suit. While we were there at the shop with owner Adam Winn, he told us all about the fine quality of suits he carries. Seriously, this man has you covered if you want an inexpensive but well tailored suit all the way to if you want super high end and can drop a few thou. The extensive materials, the ties, the accessories...I never knew I could have so much fun in a man's SUIT store!!! I was particularly interested in the Happy Socks he has available. Have you guys SEEN these? Am I just behind the times in just now loving them?
I wanted him to buy EvErY single PAIR!!!!! Alas, he said they weren't really his "thing" (flash backs of a scene from Honey I Shrunk the Kids). The pout commenced...maybe only in my head to save myself from the embarrassment a childish tantrum would have caused in the middle of such a nice establishment and we left....without them.
Ladies, when my man walked out with his new suit and fresh haircut I think I may have actually giggled. As in, my crush has just walked into the room and I am immediately RED giggled. He looked sooooooo good I could have eaten him UP! The power of a good suit ; ). He strutted around a little to make me laugh, then struck a pose that not only made me erupt into fits of giggles but also made it impossible NOT to see the sock he was wearing. HE BOUGHT SOME!!!!! When his suit was ready for pick up and I was off doing makeup, he BOUGHT some!!!! He is a keeper and I love him. I will name him Squishy and he will be mine. The next day at church I couldn't stop staring at him and decided right there and then that we would need to take a family pic so that I could remember the moment I fell in love with my sweet hubby all over again. Reasons that come to mind and I never want to forget:
He makes me laugh
He is such a good daddy
He is a God fearing man, at church every Sunday with us
He did something that wasn't his "thing" because he knew it would make me smile
He looks soooooooooo hot in his new suit
He loves me and I love him
You may all commence the awwwwwwwws
And now the oh dears and head shaking LOL!!!
xoxo Jen
(ps you'll notice our youngest is wearing his own crazy socks to match his daddy's. I bought them both a pair of green Christmas socks from the dollar store for crazy sock day. Glad they could be used more than once lol)

In this hectic, two-income world we live in today, many people have started daycare in their home. Daycares, sometimes called childcare facilities, are predominantly women-owned businesses, and the business has allowed spouses to stay with their own children and supplement the household with an income by caring for other children.
A huge mistake made by these daycare owners is assuming that their homeowner's insurance will cover any daycare insurance related claims.
Most states, which license daycare providers, will require some proof of daycare insurance. However, there is normally a size provision and many of these daycare businesses operate just below the size requirement.
When you operate a daycare business, you are exposing yourself to a huge risk. An accident, no matter if it's unintentional, exposes you to great loss. If you are found guilty or negligent, you can be held personally responsible for all legal fees and judgments. Settling this type of judgment can put a huge burden on you, your business, and your family.
Many companies provide daycare also known as childcare insurance. The biggest component is the liability aspect of the coverage. This liability coverage will protect your business even in the event you are found negligent and responsible for damages or loss.
Many childcare insurance policies offer abuse and sexual molestation as optional coverage.
The reality of today's world makes this coverage worth taking a hard look at.
The most important recommendation we can make is that if you operate a daycare in your home or elsewhere, you need to review coverage and risk exposure with a licensed insurance professional.
Do not make the mistake of assuming your homeowner's policy will cover you. Do not expose yourself, the family home, and peace of mind by ignoring the fact that you are running a business which needs its own insurance coverage.
Let us help you protect your business and keep your mind at ease. At CommercialInsurance.Net, we want to find you a great commercial insurance quote for your Daycare. To get a competitive insurance quote it is fast and easy, enter your zip code and click "Get Quote." One of our specialists will contact you soon.

Found this juice to be somewhat similar to Honey Tobacco, but the flavor undertones are indeed different. Very enjoyable, and great for a switch to the taste buds. Highly recommended...

How often have we had an overwhelming feeling of powerlessness and abandonment, of physical and emotional pain, which has driven us to sincerely cry out to God? Have we con-sidered that this is a genuine act of faith and trust which asks where God is in our suffering and an acknowledgement of God's desire to heal us and our invitation to do so.
An invitation is all God wants. The extension of this invitation changes lives in ways we can never imagine. It doesn't involve a pain free existence, but a deeper understanding of what it means to live the paschal mystery of Christ – that is, his life, death, and resurrection. It in-volves a personal commitment to a lifelong process of personal conversion and a universal sharing in the Christ's salvific mission for the world.
The crosses we encounter in our lives are not obstacles as much as they are opportunities for transformation and for healing in ways that go beyond our present difficulties. "Enduring struggle is the price to be paid for becoming everything we are meant to be in the world," says Sr. Joan Chittister, O.S.B.
Pain, toil, sorrow, disease, and death are realities for each of us – part of the human experi-ence. However, they are not proof of God's punishment or absence. Rather, they are signs that lead open hearts to reconciliation and deeper joy than anything this broken world offers. As C.S. Lewis noted, "God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world."
Yet the cross holds an even deeper mystery of God's healing love. It is not one that provides answers so much as it beckons us to faithfully live the questions as we discover more fully who we are meant to be, our relationship with God and with one another.
"There is a vocation for suffering with Christ, and through it the possibility of being involved in his salvation. Christ continues to live and suffer in his members. The suffering experienced through union with the Lord is suffering, and is a fruitful part of the great plan of salvation." Edith Stein (St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross).

Students have early childhood experiences with basic force concepts well before they encounter the word force in the science classroom. For example, it doesn't take long for a child to figure out that pushing or pulling on a toy will cause it to move in the direction of the push or pull. From a very early age, children push and pull on the objects they play with. The way the word force is used in everyday language affects students' understanding of force in a science context. When the concept of force is first taught in the elementary curriculum, it is usually introduced as a push or a pull.
This article was specifically written to illustrate how a formative assessment probe, often combined with a FACT, is used in a K–6 classroom. It provides extensive descriptions of how the probe is used, actual examples of student work or transcripts of students talking about their ideas, or illustrative examples of instructional decisions made by elementary teachers. It provides this information specifically for elementary teachers, giving deeper insight into the formative assessment process and complementing the teacher notes.
In addition, a link is provided at the end of the chapter to a website where teachers can download a copy of the probe to use with their students. The chapter also includes a Reflection and Study Guide. These guides include a set of questions designed to help the reader reflect on what they learned after reading the chapter. Even if your state has not adopted the NGSS, the links provided will help you clarify the content in your own standards and provide a lens to focus on what effective teaching and learning in science involves when using the formative assessment probes.
This free sample chapter also includes Table of Contents, Foreword, Introduction, and Index.
I think the author does a pretty good job providing a teaching technique for an elementary teacher. The main issue I have with this specific chapter is that the lesson is designed to help the students deepen their understanding of "push" and "pull." I would contend that "force" is the harder term for most students. I think an inquiry based approach would better suit this topic.
All that being said, I do like the way the author presents the information. It is easy to digest and implement.

Species group: Boas, Anacondas and Pythons
Other common names: Royal Python; Imperial Ball Python
Scientific name: Python regius
The basics:
The exceedingly popular Ball Python is a great choice for those who want a "big snake in a medium package". Although this stoutly-built and powerful constrictor displays all of its larger relatives' behaviors, at an average length of 3-4 feet is much easier to accommodate. Generally calm and easy to handle, Ball Pythons breed readily, and wild caught individuals are no longer a major factor in the US pet trade.
The Ball Python inhabits much of Sub-Saharan Africa, from Senegal east through Mali to Sudan and southeast to the Gulf of Guinea and the Central African Republic; there are possible records from Zaire and Uganda.
Ball Pythons are found in open, often arid habitats such as savannahs, woodlands, overgrown fields, farm borders and village outskirts. They typically shelter in mammal burrows, termite mounds or hollow logs, but will also climb and occupy tree hollows if available.
Appearance / health:
Although small by python standards, this species is stoutly-built. Most average 3-5 feet in length, with rare specimens reaching 6 to nearly 7 feet. Ball pythons are dark brown to nearly black in color and marked with numerous blotches of tan, reddish-brown or yellow-orange. The color of wild specimens varies tremendously among different populations, with the savannahs of Ghana are known for their predominance of beautiful yellow-orange individuals. A mind-boggling array of color morphs have been produced by breeders.
The Ball Python is, when given proper care, a very hardy snake. Pets aged 20-30 are common, and one individual at the Philadelphia Zoo has the distinction of being the longest-lived of any captive snake. Acquired at an undetermined age, it lived in the collection for 48 years! New owners are often dismayed by the Ball Python's habit of fasting for long periods of time, but this seems related to circadian rhythms (an "internal clock" of sorts), and is rarely a serious concern.
Behavior / temperament:
Ball Pythons are often calm in disposition, and usually tolerate gentle handling. They should not be induced to tuck the head within body coils, as this defensive posture indicates a high degree of stress. Like all snakes, they can and will bite, and must be handled with care.
Hatchlings may be housed in 10 gallon aquariums, while adults (depending upon their size) do well in 20-55 gallon tanks or custom built enclosures. The screen top should be secured with clips or locks as this species is amazingly strong, even by snake standards.
Stout, well-anchored branches work well as basking sites, and a hide box should always be available. Newspapers, terrarium liners, or aspen bedding may be used as substrates. Ambient temperature: 80-85 F, with a reduction 77-80 F at night if possible. Basking site: 92 F.
The natural diet is comprised mainly of grassland rodents such as cane and Nile rats, gerbils, jerboas, and zebra mice. Shrews, ground-nesting birds, and lizards are also taken on occasion.
Ball Pythons can be picky feeders at times, but most accept mice or rats. Particularly stubborn individuals may be tempted by gerbils or rat pups.
A wide array of conditions is used to induce breeding, and in some cases Ball Pythons will reproduce without any temperature manipulations at all. Many breeders reduce the ambient temperature to 78 F and the basking temperature to 82 F as autumn arrives. Day length need not be reduced. Males are introduced to females' enclosures at this time. Temperatures are returned to normal in the spring, although in many cases a much shorter cool period will also be effective. When incubated at 86-90 F, the eggs hatch in 50-60 days.

Little Ball of Joy
I don't remember when we got our first ball python, I may have been 12 or so, but I remember thinking they were so interesting. Just a small little ball of snake, perfectly content to stay rolled up. Out of the several breeds of snakes we had over the years, the ball python is the one I would recommend the most. They don't get very large and are one of the more docile breeds. They don't require an extremely large enclosure and simply require a heat source, a water bowl and potentially something to climb on. They're simply a very content animal. Their diet is pretty easy, it mainly consists of small rats or adult mice. Some of our snakes would only eat live rats while other preferred them to be frozen and then thawed. This usually just depends on the snake They're great with kids and though I have been bitten by other breeds, I've never been bitten by a ball python. If you're looking for a good first snake, for yourself or a child I can't recommend a ball python enough! You can't go wrong with them. .

Under cage heating pads rock!
I have always used this for our reptiles, but especially our snakes. We usually kept them in long horizontal cages and so I would attach the heating paid to the underside of the glass cage on one side. Snakes cannot regulate their own temperature, so you need to give them the option to lay on it or get away from it if too hot. I recommend adding a shallow pool of water on the "cool" side of their cage. But, anyways, under-cage heating pads usually just stick on and plug in and are super easy and effective..
From Jordan Paul 735 days ago
Getting over fears? Sort of!
First, let's all keep in mind that I don't like snakes. I don't like them, I don't like them, I don't like them. When I worked at a local animal sanctuary, I found myself bitten by an ill garter snake and nearly un-handed by an iguana. Reptiles, simply put, just aren't my cup of tea. So having Momma in the house? She's not really the most welcome of guests. My sister (a disabled adult that lives with me) is another story. The slick, scaled, and slimy has always fascinated and, a few years ago, she showed up at my house with Momma, a tank, and a bag of frozen mice. I was not pleased. I'm a softie, and Momma currently lives in the sitting room. Now, don't get me wrong. Momma is not a bad animal. She even tolerates my shaky hands trying to touch her on the tail - the only place I'm willing to put my fingers - and the plethora of cats that enjoy watching her through the walls of her tank. She eats frozen pinkie mice which get kept in the freezer, right next to the baggies of cranberries and the loaf of pumpkin bread I baked last fall and never ate. Her tank gets cleaned twice a week, she likes to curl up in bowls of water, and the shedding, while terrifying to look at, has never caused any issues. Would I own another snake again? No. I really, really wouldn't. But, of all the reptiles I've dealt with, Momma's probably been the most level headed. She's - dare I say it? She's almost sweet. I would call her a beginner reptile, mild tempered, and decent enough to have in the house. And not a garter snake, so that's a plus..

I am a PhD candidate in Organizational Behavior at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. I study innovative ways to help people thrive at work and beyond by leveraging the psychology of mindsets, organizational communication, and technology.
My dissertation focuses on activity adequacy mindsets – people's mindsets that their level of physical activity is adequate or inadequate, and thus beneficial or harmful to their health. First, I show that people's activity adequacy mindsets predict longevity, regardless of how active people actually are. Second, I examine how common behavior change interventions (e.g., guidelines, wearable fitness trackers, social comparison) can influence these mindsets, sometimes with unintended adverse consequences. Third, I'm conducting a longitudinal field experiment to investigate the cognitive, affective, behavioral and physiological processes through which mindset shape health and wellbeing.
In another line of research, I examine how organizational cultures of diversity and inclusion can enable employees from all social backgrounds to thrive. For example, I have worked on several projects showing that subtle social-psychological interventions to bolster people's sense of belonging at critical time points (e.g., employee onboarding) can have sustained positive effects on their personal and professional thriving. Additionally, I have conducted research to inform diversity and inclusion practices as a PhD Fellow at Google (People Analytics) and RIVA.
My dissertation committee includes Alia Crum, Jeff Pfeffer, Ashley Martin, James Landay, Mike Baiocchi, and Jeff Hancock. I am also a member of the Stanford Mind & Body Lab.

Is this a new convenience food?
I have to confess that the first thing that comes to mind when I think of the word "Vesta" is a kind of dried instant Paella. But having researched the word on Wikipedia, I've found that Vesta, in Roman religion, was the goddess of the hearth, home and family.
If you haven't heard the rumours, I'd better explain that Vesta is apparently the code name of a special project that Amazon is working on to produce a home robot.
Before you say, "what about Alexa?", well Alexa, though certainly robotic and also very helpful, does not move. Vesta, apparently, will move around your home.
Oh no, stairs!
All the so-called home robots I have seen so far either move a little on wheels (and do not like thick pile carpets), or they just swivel their camera eyes to look about, without moving their bodies. And none of the robots, rather like the Daleks, are able to climb stairs (as shown in this famous Punch cartoon).
Vesta, take me to bed!
Will Vesta be able to take me up to bed? I hasten to add that I am not suggesting Vesta will be a sex robot! I'm thinking of the day when I am older and even more feeble, and in need of a little help to get upstairs. Rather than buying a stairlift, I would like a robot friend to assist me (I don't want my wife to put her back out!).
There was a flurry of reports, or rather rumours, about Amazon's project in April this year, but since that time I have seen very little. One site back in April suggested that perhaps Amazon were trying to create something like Rosie from the Jetsons. Perhaps that will come eventually, but I have to say that I am rather concerned that Vesta will just be a slightly mobile version of Alexa, and not much taller than Alexa either.
And then there are the obvious worries about privacy. Will Vesta have eyes, and will her vision be interpreted at Amazon HQ?
Email message from Amazon: Dear Vesta owner, we have noticed that the paint in the small bedroom at the front of your home is in need of refreshing. Did you know that we have an offer on two litre cans of Dulux this month? Just ask Vesta to order you some today and it will be with you before 8pm tomorrow.
Hopefully Vesta will have on-board interpretation software and will only report back to Amazon for software upgrades . . . and to place your inevitable orders for products!
OK Amazon, I volunteer!
Another story in April was that Amazon would be looking for volunteers to "test drive" Vesta . . . well, if they happen to read this little blog, I would be more than happy to give Vesta a spin in my home and will report my findings on here. I'm not holding my breath, and I don't need to be carried upstairs, well not just yet anyway.

Mitch says;
'Chocolate, Coffee and Protein are three things I have a huge appreciation for… I would like to call myself a bit of a connoisseur for all 3, but that's beside the point. Each of these are delicious, enjoyable and in the right doses, a fantastic addition to a healthy diet. Combined, I knew I was on to a winner…'

Toddlers can be mystifying beings. You're cruising through a good morning, and then suddenly, they melt down at what seems like an entirely insignificant event (the loss of a sock would not be unheard of.) What's happening in that toddler brain?
Developmentally, toddlers have some features in common with adolescents. Both are trapped between a desire to stay close and safe where parents are concerned, and a desire for independence and self-sufficiency. This ambivalence plays out behaviorally, which can be confusing and frustrating for parents.
Toddlers are developing distinct personalities and preferences. These preferences might vary from day to day, but are all strongly held–hence, the meltdown when a cherished sock is lost, and NO OTHER SOCK will do. Even suggesting an alternative can put a parent firmly in enemy camp, in the eyes of the toddler. because it underscores to the child that you just don't get it.
Another thing toddlers and adolescents have in common is that their preferences feel like part of their identity. That's why a compromise (i.e. a different sock) can feel so distressing. It's like you're trying to take away a piece of their still-forming identity and replace it with something substandard, something that feels other.
But because they also want to feel safe and loved, when they feel their bond with a parent is threatened, that can create a lot of emotional upheaval. For example, sometimes a toddler will have a tantrum and then be clingy afterwards, seeking reassurance that they haven't sabotaged parental love through their misbehavior. They need to know that the parent will still reliably be there as a touchstone–in attachment terms, as a secure base that the child can leave and return to again and again.
That's why it's important never to shame a toddler (or an adolescent, for that matter.) Even saying, "That's so silly and unimportant, of course you can just wear this other sock," can feel shaming. It's invalidating to the developing self.
Much better to empathize and then hold the limit: "I see this is very upsetting for you, that you really, really wanted the wear the polka dot socks. I'm sorry that we can't do that right now. As soon as the sock is washed, you can have it back." It's not super-important what you say, just that your tone is one of understanding and acceptance. You're allowing the child to have his emotional upheaval without belittling it. This helps a child learn to organize his emotions and to realize, ultimately, that he can be okay without a desired belonging. But he'll only come to that realization through compassionate support, and mostly, it will have to be on his own terms.
Because that's the self-sufficiency/independence part of the toddler make-up. Creating opportunities for your toddler to figure things out through trial and error rather than simply being told is key. One of the cool things about toddlers is the sense of self-discovery, which can invigorate even the most jaded parents, if we let it.

What we do
Residing in the Lovely Ickenham
Ickenham is a part of the London area of Hillingdon in Greater London. The main postcode in the area is UB10. This region has areas that actually date back to the Roman times from recent archeological findings. There are buildings here, that date back to the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries, and have recently been restored to their former glory. Ickenham is a village and has grown over the years, especially since the railway line between Harrow and Uxbridge, opened in the 1960's and 1970's. This made it easy to access London, so a large amount of residential areas were built due to the easy commuter links to the city. It has been gradually developed and has become an attractive location to live. Ickenham is a lovely village and surrounded by lovely landscape. It has some stunning buildings with a long historical past. The village is well set up and has some beautiful manor houses. There is a lot of historical landmarks located here, including the most significant - the Pump, a donation to the village and stands near to the village pond between Long Lane and Swakeleys Road.

Herrmann appointed Clayton County Attorney
On March 26 the Clayton County Board of Supervisors appointed Assistant Clayton County Attorney Zach Herrmann to fill the vacancy left by Alan Heavens, who was sworn in as a District Court judge in mid-March. He has served as Assistant County Attorney for the past three years.
Herrmann's grandparents and parents are from Clayton County. Zach grew up in southern Iowa, where his parents had moved, until he was 10 years old. The family then moved to North Carolina, where he met his wife, Jillian, years later. Jillian is a founding member of Elkader's Art in the Park festival. The couple has a three year-old daughter, Emmajean, and they have resided on the family farm near Big Springs since they moved back to Iowa in 2013.
"I used to come back to the farm to visit my grandparents when I was younger," Zach said. Jillian and I came back here about 10 years ago for a visit, and she fell in love with the place."

The Finance Ministry is proposing some tough measures to get the country's budget back on track, as the latest forecasts show that the last three years of NDP 11 will suffer a cumulative deficit of P11.1 billion, while the fiscal reserves government has previously relied on for support may not be able to help.
The proposals, as contained in the draft mid-term review of the NDP 11 circulated yesterday, are due to go before Cabinet before being laid out before parliamentarians next year.
The revised forecasts in the draft indicate that the cumulative deficits in the six years of NDP 11, which ends in March 2023, will amount to P18.8 billion.
While the previous deficits were funded mostly by government drawing down on its reserves and borrowing domestically, the Finance Ministry says this may no longer be possible looking at the forecasts.
The reserves are held in the Government Investment Account (GIA), which the central bank manages together with the Pula Fund, the country's sovereign wealth fund.
The situation, fiscal authorities say, will come down to increasing revenues and lowering expenditure. To achieve this, some of the proposals in the mid-term draft include increasing various taxes, reducing tax exemptions, rationalising the civil service and tightening public finance management, including the crackdown on corruption.
"We have to squeeze out all types of waste including in the management of projects," new finance minister, Thapelo Matsheka told a conference on the draft yesterday.
"We have to reduce the size of government and allow the private sector to deliver these projects. This is one thing on the agenda."
The draft goes into detail on the proposed tax increases.
"Botswana firms and individuals are under-taxed relative to the value of the public service and benefits they receive," the draft plan reads.
"Botswana has one of the lowest rates of VAT in the world and this may not be sustainable.
"Taxes on land and property are also low by international standards and yet these present an easily-taxable asset class that would mainly raise revenue from those that can afford to pay more.
"The tax base can be extended through more effective taxation of informal or cash based activities, improving the efficiency of revenue collection, consideration of new taxes, increasing tax rates or reducing exemptions."
The tax proposals will rile many businesses and individuals, particularly as the draft plan also indicates that part of the budgetary pressure came from the civil service raises granted before the elections.
According to the
While critics of the new administration say the increases were made with the elections in mind, finance ministry officials in the draft describe the adjustment as a 'necessary gesture' adding that "wages and salaries had been stagnant for some time and such increases are expected to enhance domestic demand".
Other factors pushing deficits up include lower mineral revenues due to the commitment government has made to co-finance major projects at Jwaneng and Orapa. Speaking yesterday at the conference, Finance Ministry deputy secretary for macroeconomic policy, Kelapile Ndubano said there were few alternatives to restoring fiscal stability.
"We need new sources of revenue and if it means increasing our tax rates, let it be so. Even in terms of the ranges, we are the lowest in the income tax and VAT.
"There's scope for us to look at that but advice will be welcome," he said.
Other sources of pressure in the rest of NDP 11 come from higher grants and subventions to local authorities, parastatals and students.
The net effect is that the development budget in the rest of NDP 11 will be restrained to accommodate the higher spending and lower revenues. According to the draft, the development budget under NDP 11 has been cut from P101.4 billion to a forecast P81.9 billion or by 19%.
A finance ministry document produced last month also proposed a moratorium on new parastatals, refraining from building new offices, privatising parastatals, and freezing recruitment from 2020-2021.
"The fiscus has been dented. We have to ensure sustainability of the economy and restore our fiscal buffers," Ndubano said.
The latest forecasts and proposals will be a tough sell for President Mokgweetsi Masisi's administration, which is under pressure to deliver electoral promises, despite the darker economic climate.
It is expected that Masisi will ride out the current and next fiscal years' deficits through the GIA and higher domestic borrowing, before gradually considering the tougher measures being proposed by finance ministry experts
