Its been a fantastic week. And Im buzzing.
Lots of interest in Frozen Lenses, my Antarctic exhibition that's showing at Societe Food and Wine Bar in conjunction with Carol D'Amici Photography.
And lots and lots of sales 🙂 Thats gonna make any photographer happy 🙂
Last week I had a call from John Donegan, an experienced photo journalist from 702 abc radio.
"Is this Chris Bernasconi?. This is John Donegan from 702 radio. I'd like to do a radio interview with you and Carol D'Amici about your Antarctic exhibition Frozen Lenses. Will that be okay?"
"Ummmm….Yeah" THAT WOULD BE GREAT!!
We met him on Wednesday at Societe Food and Wine Bar. I immediately recognised him. Im not sure where I've seen him, or where I've heard him speak, but I instantly felt at ease in his presence.
He relaxed both of us immediately and within a few minutes our interview was being recorded.
"How was the trip" he asked….Hmmm….well, awe inspiring, life changing, spectacular, breath taking, unbelievable, surreal and sensational.
There really aren't too many words in the English language to describe how I felt whilst I travelled to the Antarctic.
This world at the bottom of our world is awe inspiring. I've come home more of a greenie than I've ever been and am dedicated to protecting this fragile environment.
I hope everyone who views our images will be moved enough to take action to protect this amazing part of our planet.
John asked Carol and I many questions. He made us laugh, and I realised quickly how strong the bond is that Carol and I have developed because of our Antarctic adventure.
We shared a unique journey that not too many people on this planet have had the chance to experience. That has connected us forever. We laughed and recounted all of the wonderful highlights of our trip and answered John's questions with passion and intensity.
All too quickly it was over. A quick photograph by him and then he was gone.
Tomorrow night – Friday 21st June – during "Evenings with Dominic Knight" on 702 DIGITAL radio, between 7pm-10pm, our interview will be aired.
I love everything about 702 radio and feel honoured that our exhibition will be the point of discussion this Friday night.
Our story will also be on the 702 website. 🙂
I will let you know the time of the broadcast tomorrow….so stay tuned.
Thanks John for your professionalism and the chance to tell our story. It was a real pleasure to meet you.
Our exhibition, Frozen Lenses, is open all weekend at Societe Food and Wine Bar. Carol and I will be there most of the weekend. So if you wanna check out our pics, or our maps (you'll love them) or just have a chat about the Antarctic, drop in and say hello.

Under the dark skies: nine dark musical genres
To write this article was not an easy task, because it contains a philosophical paradox: a person always subconsciously strove for what he most fears. The darkness of the night surrounding the Cro-Magnon in his pitiful home, around a hostile world inhabited by dangerous creatures. Dark jungle of forests, the depths of the seas and oceans. An even darker and more frightening cosmos where it is extremely difficult to survive. But the most terrifying – where will he go at the end of his path? This place in the mass consciousness has always been inhabited by terrible monsters and terrible pictures of existence there after. Well, it can't all end like this, right? Should there be anything there? Well, here it is …
Sigmund Freud ultimately reduced all human aspirations to the dualistic principle of the struggle between two basic instincts – sexual attraction and death drive:
If we accept as non-exempt the fact that everything that lives due to internal causes dies, returns to the inorganic, then we can say: the purpose of all life is death, and, conversely, the inanimate was earlier than the living. Continue reading

Even if you've failed to sell your home it doesn't mean you have to throw in the towel. Maybe it's time to take a look at what you can do to reverse that trend. Real estate experts will tell you that making sure your home is attractive and move-in ready is the key to any sale. Additionally, you'll get a larger percentage of your investment back. Here are a few ideas to get you started and breathe some life back into your real estate listing.
Kitchens and Bathrooms Sell Homes
You've probably heard the phrase "kitchens and bathrooms sell homes" repeatedly. As a matter of fact, research has now proven that statement to be true. Additionally, you'll get more than your money back when you sell your home. Just updating the space will help but what can really turn the tide is a renovation that includes things like new kitchen cabinets especially if they're solid and quality products.
A new backsplash, lighting, paint, energy efficient appliances and a granite or quartz countertop will ensure you get top dollar. In the bathroom make sure that fixtures have been updated as well and that the sink, tile and bath have been newly re-caulked and are in good repair.
Curb Appeal Gets Buyers in the Door
There are two things to remember when it comes to curb appeal. First, if they can't see the house for the shrubbery and trees they won't know it's there. Secondly, if they can see the house but it's desperately in need of paint and repair they won't even consider looking.
With the right landscaping and a fresh looking exterior, especially an inviting entryway, you can expect to get a 100% return on your investment. Color is important in plants as is mixing the heights but make sure your shrubbery has been cut back so buyers can see the best architectural elements the house has to offer. Finally, make sure the walkway and home foundation are in good repair.
Clutter Is a Price Killer
Potential buyers need to visualize themselves living in your home. However, they'll have a difficult time doing that if it's filled with knickknacks, memorabilia and clutter. Cleaning out the clutter will cost very little but could be the difference between making a sale and having your home sit on the market. Pack up everything, including most of the clothes in the closet, and store them in a pod or mini storage unit. Most of all, make sure you depersonalize.
Pictures of you and your loved ones make it harder for buyers to see themselves in the space. Take the view of a minimalist and get rid of everything you don't need with the exception of a few plants and books. The biggest advantage is that when it does come time to move you're already packed.
Don't Forget the Little Things
Little things like new lighting fixtures, faucets and paint can make a huge difference in the look and feel of a home. Opt for neutral colors and lots of natural light by replacing traditional curtains with sheers. Remove all wallpaper then repaint. If you have hardwood floors under the old carpet then tear it out. If not you either need to ensure you have it professionally cleaned or have it replaced with laminate, wood-look tile or hardwood. Wood floors are right on trend today and make a home easier to sell. Finally, stage your home so you show off its best features.
When it comes to selling a home, a few changes can make a huge difference. Work with an experienced professional to ensure you home is priced correctly, your marketing it on point, and your sales team is on top of things. At First Team, we represent more buyers and more sellers than any other brokerage in Orange County because we know how to get the job done.

Would you like to be featured as a JLM Couture Real Bride?
Lauren and Jason
As fate would have it (or was it Dr. McLean all along?), the bride and groom were seated next to each other in Developmental Psychology in Fall 2009. Sparks flew and Jason spent the semester leaving anonymous love notes on Lauren's desk. Lauren had no idea whom the notes had come from, but they definitely gave her something to look forward to each day in class. She has kept each of these notes to this day.
Eventually, Jason worked up the courage to ask Lauren out. . . but not really on a date. He needed some help making a toga for an Alpha Delta Gamma fraternity party. Being a Latin School grad, Lauren happily obliged - and those four years of Latin convention really paid off!
While Jason was not able to convince Lauren to actually attend the Toga party with him, it was clear to him that night, while she was wrapping him in black silk and golden rope in the dance studio closet, that he had to get to know her better. He invited her to hang out with his friends and fraternity brothers and eventually took her on a real date (to see How to Train Your Dragon) - never pushing her but always present. Lauren dragged her feet for quite a while but, eventually, she succumbed to Jason's charms and the couple officially started dating on October 20th, 2009.
Since 2009, Lauren and Jason have collectively acquired four college degrees, moved to three different states, taken two Caribbean cruises, and loved and lost one pet. After eight years of dating, Jason finally wrote the most important note of them all: "Will you marry me? Check yes or no." When he passed this note to Lauren, she started to tear up and stammered, "I don't have a pen!" The couple's long-awaited engagement began on April 14th, 2017.
After eight long years together, Lauren and Jason finally tied the knot in May of 2018 at Manor House in Mason, Ohio. While their courtship was lengthy, finding the perfect man did not seem to take nearly as long as finding the perfect dress! In her hunt for a dress that would flatter her body and make her feel confident, comfortable, and that would stand the test of time, Lauren tried on 75 dresses by countless designers in three different states. As soon as Lauren put on her first Hayley Paige dress, she knew that this was the designer for her. Hayley's whimsical designs and figure flattering dress shapes oozed romance and drama and made Lauren feel like a Greek Goddess. And what better to complement a Hayley Paige wedding gown than Hayley Paige Occasions bridesmaids dresses?!

In 2012 226 people in the UK lost their lives as a result of house fires, the unfortunate reality of these figures is that all of these deaths could have been prevented. House fires often start as a result of human error and resulting deaths often occur much the same. To prevent you becoming another statistic we have mapped out five essential tips that will prevent fire and ultimately save lives.
Remove your chip pan
cpChip pans cause a fifth of all house fires in the UK each year, so it comes as no surprise that we recommend you remove a chip pan from your kitchen. Even more worrying, it's estimated that 20 people are killed or injured every day in accidental fires that start in kitchens, often these deaths are put down to deep fat frying. Removing a chip pan from your kitchen will not only give you an added level of fire protection but you can now start a new health regime with oven chips!
Install a smoke alarm
This may seem like an obvious suggestion to some, but it's estimated that 80% of homes in Britain are fitted with smoke alarms, although this is a high proportion, 20% of homes in Britain are still vulnerable to fire deaths. When installing a smoke alarm be sure to install it in the correct way and in an area of your home where smoke can be detected easily. In 2010 it was revealed that in nearly half of the cases where death occurred as a result of fire, a smoke alarm was installed. The reason so many deaths occur when smoke alarms are fitted is because of human error, either batteries aren't fitted or smoke alarms aren't tested for faults. Test your alarm, install batteries and position your alarm in a prominent place in your house.
Check your plugs
In recent years there have been more and more reports of house fires as a result of over loading plugs and other household plug causing fires. The cause of overloading plugs is often put down to extension leads that are overloaded, which result in overheating and ultimately house fires. Recently it has emerged that a number of house fires have started from plug-in air fresheners overheating and catching alight. To prevent plug fires, don't overload plugs or extension leads, remove plugs from sockets at night and don't leave air fresheners plugged in for long periods.
Install a sprinkler system
spInstalling fire sprinkler systems into the domestic environment may seem like a drastic step to take when trying to ensure your home is fire resistant. Fire sprinkler systems are the ultimate fire deterrent and will certainly ensure that your home is completely fire resistant. Fire sprinkler systems works by detecting smoke then responding by spraying the required amounts of water on to the fire, thus extinguishing the fire. Although it can be quite an expensive means of fire resistance, sprinkler systems are the most effective way of reducing the potential of fire fatalities.
The careless disposal of cigarettes is the single biggest killer in house fires. Fires as a result of smoking usually occur as a result of users being under the influence of alcohol or lighting up in bed. Smoking related fires represent 36% of house fires across the UK and these fires do kill. When lighting up in the house makes sure you "put it out, right out".

Knoll International was founded in New York in 1938 and ever since it has stood for excellent, innovative design with functional furniture featuring clean lines and the highest quality of materials and workmanship.
The company is regarded as one of the leading producers of furnishings for the office and the home on a global level. Together with his later wife, Florence Knoll, the company's founder Hans Knoll consistently shaped 20th century design. In close collaboration with architects and designers, the couple wrote design history and their work is still setting standards: Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Harry Bertoia, Eero Saarinen, Franco Albini, Isamu Noguchi, George Nakashima, Frank Gehry, Richard Schultz, Warren Platner, Charles Pollock and Richard Sapper are among those who have helped make the company so famous and win many awards. Today, contemporary design greats like David Adjaye, Piero Lissoni and Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby carry on this tradition. Furniture from Knoll can be found in many of the world's museums and collections. Thirty different designs are featured in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York alone.
Knoll has locations worldwide. In Europe, it is represented by showrooms and retailers in all major cities and operates production sites in Foligno and Graffignana, Italy.

After Adam LaRoche missed most of 2011 with a torn labrum, the Washington Nationals reportedly pursued free agent options like Prince Fielder and Albert Pujols for 2012, but in the end stuck with LaRoche in the second year of his $16 million contract. He responded with a bounce-back season, slugging 33 home runs (a career high), driving in 100 and winning a Gold Glove.
The final season line was right in line with his career numbers: He hit .271/.343/.510 and owns a career line of .271/.338/.482. Really, he was just as consistent as ever, just with a few more home runs than normal.
He's a good player -- although his 4.0 WAR was well above his previous best of 1.9 -- but the kind of free agent teams should be leery of giving too many years and too much money. He's entering his age-33 season and if he regresses back to what he did for Arizona in 2010 (.261/.320/.468) he's not helping much. That's OK for one year or maybe two, but once you start going three or four, it gets dicey. He is valuable to the Nationals as the only other left-handed bats in their regular lineup are Bryce Harper and switch-hitting Danny Espinosa. But it's also worth noting that his numbers were helped by a monster September, when he belted 10 home runs and slugged .667. Through August, he was hitting .259/.332/.472. That's a much better bet for his likely production in 2013.
All that said, the best move for the Nationals is to move on. Three reasons:
1. While the free agent market is thin for first basemen, the Nationals have an able replacement in Michael Morse, who is miscast as a left fielder. Morse's production in 2012 isn't great for a first baseman, but is certainly adequate, and the Nationals could upgrade their defense in left.
2. Avoid the risk of overpaying for LaRoche as he enters into a potential decline phase while also getting a draft pick in return (since the Nationals made a qualifying offer to LaRoche).
3. Use the money not given LaRoche to sign an outfielder or starting pitcher. The Nationals could go in on a center fielder like Michael Bourn or Angel Pagan -- which would give the team a leadoff hitter (although Jayson Werth was an excellent out-of-the box option for that spot) -- or a corner guy like Nick Swisher, with Harper remaining in center. Or maybe they spend that money on a starter to replace free agent Edwin Jackson and go with a Tyler Moore/Roger Bernadina platoon in left field.
Remember, the Nationals are probably a good bet to score a few more runs next year, even without LaRoche. Harper is obviously likely to improve, Werth missed time and Wilson Ramos should return to provide more offense at catcher.
Even without signing a free agent outfielder, this lineup looks deep to me:
RF Werth
SS Ian Desmond
CF Harper
1B Morse
LF Moore/Bernadina
2B Espinosa
C Ramos
Signing LaRoche at $12 to $15 million per season limits the Nationals' payroll flexibility and ability to replace Jackson in the rotation. Letting him go shouldn't weaken the lineup and gives you an extra draft pick and more financial flexibility. It's not always easy departing with those who got you to the top, but in this case it makes sense.

Exploring life in Nordic classrooms
Professor Kirsti Klette stands on a chair in a corner of the classroom with her back towards the room. She's in a hurry. Before the lecture starts in a few minutes, she needs to have fastened the small video camera in the upper corner of the room, and connected it to the computer below.
She jumps down from the chair, rushes out of the room, and comes back with her hand full of cords.
This kind of gymnastics is common for her and her team when they are doing field work and collecting data.
"We have collected a huge amount of unique data, and our preliminary analyses of it shows very interesting results," Kirsti says eagerly.
Kirsti radiates. It is clear that she loves what she is doing. She is leading JustEd team 3, as well as several other research networks, with the purpose to collect a huge amount of video recordings from Nordic classrooms, and to investigates the impact of different models of classroom instruction on students' learning by comparing student achievement data with classroom data.
"Primarily, we analyse instructions given by the teacher in classrooms and how autonomously students are working," Kirsti says. One of the main tasks with investigating qualities of classroom teachings is to use the research findings to improve teacher training. The video recordings will be used at the teacher training departments in Helsinki and Oslo.
A second feature will be to collect a set of video cases from the Nordic countries, focused on innovative teaching in Mathematics and the national language from lower secondary classrooms, and make them available (through an on-line virtual video lab) for collaborative research and teachers' professional development.
Several hundreds of hours caught on video
During the lesson she sits quietly in the back corner of the classroom, beside her computer. Two videorecorders and two microphones are rigged up in upper corners of the classroom, recording everything that happens in the room.
"I really believe in this material and the method. I can just sit there and relax while everything is recorded. Later, in our lab, we will do the coding," Kirsti says after the lesson is finished. She has been through this procedure about a hundred times, and she still finds it exciting.
So far, Kirsti and her group has filmed several hundreds of hours of lessons in Norway, Finland and Sweden.
"This winter we were videotaping 16 lessons in mathematics and 16 lessons in mother tongue in the Karlstad region in Sweden. We followed the same design and data collection method as we did for the Helsinki data gathering last year, using portable video labs, illustrative copies of students work and conducting surveys to the students," Kristi says.
After the data has been collected, which includes power point presentations and handouts of any kind, the researchers follows a strict coding manual developed at Stanford. The project demands 15 terabyte and will be stored for 15 years, and will generate a lot of research.
One of the ambitions for this large project is to test and evaluate how different measures and methodological designs (observation protocols; discourse analyses; ethnographic analyses) provide robust lenses for measuring quality, and equity, in classroom learning.
In a current paper in the European Educational Research Journal, Kirsti and JustEd member Marte Blikstad-Balas, discuss the role of coding and observation manuals in classroom studies (Observation manuals as lenses to classroom teaching: Pitfalls and possibilities). In the paper, Kirsti and Marte argue that if used in a reflexive manner, coding manuals can provide a common language and vocabulary when talking about – and researching – classroom teaching and learning.
Yet, a fourth ambition with the work in JustEd team 3, is to identify high quality teaching that supports equity and justice in education.
Comparing Norwegian and Finnish classrooms
Kirsti and her colleague Bjørn Sverre Gulheim, Data Manager at University of Oslo, collected video recordings in secondary schools in the Helsinki region last year, while the old curricula still was in force.
"We have video recordings in Mathematics and Language Art before Finland got their current curricula. If we will conduct more recordings in Finland, we will be able to compare how the two curriculas were applied in the classrooms," Kirsti points out.
During their video recording sessions in Finnish classrooms, Kirsti and Bjørn observed that there are many similarities between Norwegian and Finnish classrooms, and – of course – differences.
"All Finnish teachers have a Master's Degree in their own field, which seems to give them a clear feeling of expertise and pride. This was very evident in our discussions with the teachers, as well as the good relations between teachers and students. Generally, the teachers seemed to be very careful and willing to see the needs of every individual student," Kirsti adds.
Another difference Kirsti observed was that in the Finnish classrooms the students worked more independently when solving assigned tasks, when in Norway the students participate more actively in discussions and commenting on what the teacher says. Another observation was that the Norwegian teachers tend to more often give feedback to the students on how they can improve their work or find other ways of solving the assignments.
"Some of our early observations shows differences such as Finnish students being more restless, especially some boys, compared to students in Norwegian classrooms. We also saw an extended use of mobile devices used for pleasure in the Finnish classrooms, students were listening to music and sending messages."
All these observations, and many other details, are coded and can be used in analyzing e.g. how explicit the teacher explains and teaches, the quality of the discussions and how students are included in discussions, as well as the overall climate in the classroom.
"I have a genuine interest in developing and improving education in our schools," Kirsti says when asked how come she is so engaged in this project. "I know this data will be very useful."

"Meadville Lombard prepares students to engage in—and help others engage in—a changing world."
Kay Montgomery worked for the Unitarian Universalist Association for thirty years until her retirement in the summer of 2013. At the UUA, she was a fundraiser for two years and then, from 1985 through 2013, served as executive vice president. In that role she was chief of staff and worked closely with congregational ministers and lay leaders.
Prior to that, she was active in at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta and in denominational activities: elected district president, inter-district president, and director of the Southeast UU Summer Institute. She was appointed to a variety of denominational committees, including the Ministerial Fellowship Committee.
Kay attended Georgia State University where she was a philosophy major. In 1997, she was given an honorary doctorate by Meadville Lombard. She is the mother of two grown sons and grandmother of six.
"Here's the thing about the Meadville Lombard model of seminary education: it prepares students to minister not only to their eventual congregations but also to their communities and to the world. MLTS prepares students to engage in—and help others engage in—a changing world while not losing sight of the best of our Unitarian Universalist heretical tradition."

I've never forgotten a conversation with my mom almost a decade ago. For two weeks, my sister and her husband and Pedro and I attended our mission's "Field Preparation Seminar" while my parents tended to multiple small grandchildren. At the time I believe it was four grandchildren ages four and under for fourteen days!
They did a fabulous job of grandparenting, of course. But I remember my mom lamenting how easy it was to become impatient with the needs and whines of so many little ones. "I thought I had overcome certain attitudes," she said, and with her typical sensitivity was disappointed in herself (though I am quite sure she demonstrated more patience than Mommy usually did, because she is just that wonderful.)
She pointed out that it is relatively easy to remain civil and mature in a relationship of only two adults. Yet kids have a way of causing our sin nature to rise to the surface and show what is still hiding in our hearts. In the years since I have certainly experienced that truth over and over!
Parenting prunes us. And adoption awakens us.
Particularly when adoption involves children from "hard places" (children with histories of early trauma or neglect), it can bring entirely new challenges into the parenting arena. Because of their early experiences, our children from hard places do not respond to the same parenting techniques in the same way as their siblings.
Trying what we know and having it not succeed can be frustrating and discouraging. It can trigger impatience and resentment. And often, it awakens us to the reality of our own inflexibility and selfish hearts.
I appreciated Jamie Ivey's candor in a recent blog interview (emphasis mine):
"Recently someone asked me what has been the biggest adjustment in our family since we brought our kids home from Haiti. It never takes me long to think about this answer because I have thought about it so many times. This doesn't sound like an adjustment, but more of a realization, but my biggest adjustment has been the reality of the ugliness in my heart. The reality of my sinful nature. If parenting brought some of my sin to the surface then adoption yanked them all to the surface."
We have one precious child who processes life through a different lens than all the rest, and he has been my "awakening." He has been my "pruning." There are times when he makes me laugh, and times when he makes me cry. And there are times when he makes my heart squeeze with tenderness.
Because that same lack of "polish" that sometimes leads to awkward social interactions is the one that allows him to bury his head in my shoulder and shed real tears at the kindergarten graduation of his friends. And that same overabundance of energy that makes it impossible for him to sit quietly through devotions or family story time, is the one that places him at my elbow anxiously seeking to help in the kitchen when his siblings are nowhere to be found.
I am a work in progress, and I have far to go. But I am thankful for the tender Gardener who prunes my soul, and the precious children He uses to do so.

I choose watercolour and ink as materials to capture my subjects because these light mediums provide a fairy-tale-like atmosphere to my work. This lightness is balanced by the sharp outlines of figures, inspired by superhero comic and manga books of my childhood.
A bird is a symbol of freedom. The supernatural lets you escape reality. When painting, my subjects work as a stress relief for me, so I can get lost in the magical world I create.
Artists & Illustrators is Britain's most popular magazine for practising artists, while also being equally relevant to professionals, aspiring amateurs or to those who paint purely for pleasure.

More Questions than Answers
2 May 2011
The targeted assassination of Osama Bin Laden in Abbottabad, a tourist resort known for its many retirees and an elite Pakistani military training facility, leaves the world with more geopolitical questions than answers. While the decapitation strike against Bin Laden gives closure to the ten year hunt for the terrorist mastermind, it is only the hunt that has ended. The movement that the man embodied and symbolized goes on; there is no closure for world history, even if it is — especially if it is — just one damn thing after another.
The obvious political questions, essentially rhetorical but intended to make a point, are already being asked in the media: How did Bin Laden live undetected in a sleepy resort city in Pakistan? How could Bin Laden have lived so close to a military training institution without being known to Pakistani military intelligence? Did Pakistan help or hinder the operation? Did the ISI help or hinder the operation? Did someone collect the reward on Bin Laden's head?
There are already lots of questions being asked about Bin Laden's burial at sea. The answer to this ought to be just as obvious as the need for the US military to retain the body in the first place. If the US military had not taken possession of Bin Laden's body, there would be persistent rumors that he had somehow survived and escaped. And if he had been buried in the conventional manner, his grave would have become a focus of resistance and a place of pilgrimage. These questions are easy to answer. There are other questions that will be much more difficult to answer.
● Will the killing of Bin Laden provoke militants to greater efforts, as they seek revenge for Bin Laden through spectacular acts of violence?
● Deprived of their symbol and rallying point, will the militant Jihadists lose interest and disperse? Will the ideology of militant Jihadism come to an end with the end of Bin Laden?
● Will a leader of comparative stature emerge to take the place of Bin Laden? Would another leader be able to command the loyalty and ideologically inspire new generations of militant Jihadism?
● What will become of Ayman al-Zawahiri? He was, after all, the ideological brains behind the operation. Will al-Zawahiri find another leader to mentor, or will he, too, be run to ground and killed on the spot?
● Taliban supremo Mullah Mohamed Omar, like Ayman al-Zawahiri, is still at large. He essentially surrendered his nation-state rather than deliver Osama Bin Laden into the hands of the US. How will he respond to the development? Several commentators are already calling this the moment for the US to strike a deal with the Taliban in Afghanistan. Will Mullah Omar count this as a weakness on the part of the US, or will he, too, see it as an opportunity?
● Will the ideology of militant Jihadism and transnational terrorism ultimately be come to be seen as a mistake, as a dead end (like Nassar's Pan-Arabism), or will it always retain its ability to inspire individuals and groups of individuals to violent action?
● How will the events of the Arab Spring influence the perception of Bin Laden's death? Will the movement of the Arab Spring provide an alternative ideological direction for the frustrated youth of the region?
● Will Bin Laden become a folk hero, or, rather, will he retain his status as a folk hero? Will his reputation increase over time, or will he be forgotten? Will Osama Bin Laden the folk hero be cleansed of his crimes by time, or will his name be forever linked to violence, death, and infamy?
● Will militant Jihadism become a "Lost Cause" to be celebrated in romanticized literature and film? Will someone someday film the Jihadist re-make of Gone with the Wind?
History is an exercise in non-abstraction. Everything is tangled together and impossible to separate. When we read history it is easy to lose track of the other things going on at the same time. But then, as now, many strategic trends were running in parallel. And given the fact that our world only becomes more complex over time rather than less so, there are always more strategic trends in play.
We must remind ourselves of this non-abstract character of contemporary history — for we are, all of us, living contemporary history — so that we do no succumb to the temptation to consider any historical event in isolation. The now-finished hunt for Osama Bin Laden, the War on Terror, the wars in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the open sore of Kashmir, the rising price of oil, the terminal decline of monarchical government, the perennial desire for ethnic self-determination, the spreading of industrialization and the institutions of industrialized society, and a hundred other strategic narratives are all developing simultaneously, and all influencing each other as they develop. All are strands in the rope between the past and the future that is history; there is no central strand, and no strand that runs the entire length of the rope.

Remodeling a kitchen is one of the most expensive projects you will probably ever do for your home, but it is also the investment that will pay off most by increasing real estate value. It is important to work with a licensed and experienced consultant who can help you select the best kitchen design in Fall River for your home. Whether you want to gut it all out and do a brand new kitchen design, or if you just want to update old cupboards with top quality Fall River kitchen cabinets and new countertops, it pays to have a plan.
Paul's Quality Kitchens provides clients with a conveniently located Fall River showroom that you can browse for examples of the cabinets, cupboards and specialty options that we can provide. Our team will work with you to create the kitchen space of your dreams and help you to maximize the return on your investment. With so many styles, designs and colors to choose from, it can be overwhelming to find the best materials for your new kitchen. That's why our team works closely with each client on a case-by-case basis to select the best options available.
Why Remodel the Kitchen?
There are probably lots of areas within your home that you want to upgrade, so why should you start with the kitchen? According to real estate studies, the average cost of a completely brand new kitchen – appliances and all – will cost $60,000. However, other studies reveal that as much as 70 percent of that investment will translate directly to the value of your home. So a $60,000 kitchen design in Fall River could yield as much as $42,000 in increased value when you put your home on the local real estate market. In addition, homes that have a brand new kitchen design in a classic or traditional style that complements the existing design of the home, will also sell faster than other homes in the same neighborhood that have not been upgraded.
Timeless Designs for Fall River Kitchen Cabinets
One of the best ways to ensure that the design you choose from our Fall River showroom for your home is able to stand up to the test of time is to pick neutral colors. Natural wood in lighter colors and white cabinets are often the best choices that you can make for a classic kitchen style. Avoid fads and trends, as they truly come and go in just a few years. Add in accessories and other accent pieces that will help bring the design together and help you to express your own style, but the basic materials should be simple and traditional.
Some tips to remember when picking a brand new kitchen design include:
- use a lot of white and light colors in cabinets, flooring, counters and backsplash
- customize your kitchen design in Fall River with drawer pulls, door knobs and other types of hardware that can be easily switched out to change the look in the future
- consider open cabinets or glass fronts on upper shelves to show off colorful bakeware
- add color with paint on the walls, choosing colors that can be easily painted over
Choose Quality Flooring Materials
When you visit our Fall River showroom, make sure to discuss the flooring that you will use to complete your design and coordinate with your new Fall River kitchen cabinets. Hardwood flooring has come a long way in recent years. It used to be a no-no to put wood flooring in kitchens and bathrooms, but today's modern materials are designed to go just about anywhere in your home. Invest in beautiful flooring and have it professionally installed for best results. Solid hardwood flooring can be refinished, as needed, up to a dozen times in its 100-year expected lifespan.
Hardwood sells, too. One study revealed that 80 percent of prospective buyers stated that they would be more likely to purchase a home with hardwood floors than any other type of material. Even if you have no plans on selling in the near future, it's good to know that the choices you make today could positively impact the selling price of your home in the future. Hardwood is great for open floorplans, which are really popular right now, but they are also eco-friendly, long-lasting, durable and easy to care for on a regular basis.

With over 25 years of experience working with residential and commercial clients in the South Coast area, Paul's Quality Kitchens can help you get the brand new kitchen design of your dreams.

So far a few goodies have been uploaded. Nothing I'm dying to have but I really love the Heathered Pig Pink Scuba. I'm sticking to my new rule of only buying things in special prints so I'm eagerly waiting for the Waterwall print to show up.
** Update! did some of my Christmas shopping online instead of going to the malls and I knocked my mom and sister off my list. I wish there were more companies like lululemon that offers free overnight shipping.
Did you get anything today?
Cool Racerback Black Roses Print. It looks like it only goes up to size 10. Love this print but didn't love the polyester in this. It just doesn't have the cotton feel that luon is known for. I ended up getting the Live Simply in Black Roses Print on upload last week and got a really great distribution of roses so you can see little individual roses instead of the blobby patches or bad logo placements. I'm really happy with that one and glad I finally found the black roses item I'm happy with.
Scuba Hoodie Heathered Pig Pink/Very Violet I love this one, it's adorable. Black Roses Print would look great under this.
Sparkled Scuba Hoodie Heathered Casis, love the twinkles in the picture.

Is Stress A Killer?By Byron Pulsifer, � 2007
Is stress your Monday morning diet? For literally tens of thousands of individuals, Monday morning is filled with tasks seemingly accumulated throughout the weekend.
Why? You left work on Friday looking forward to a break from the stressors of the week. You planned to relax and enjoy your time away from work. So, why is stress seemingly compounded over the weekend and not the reverse?
For far too many of us, we don't leave our work behind. It goes everywhere with us. It goes shopping, in the garden, for a walk through the park, or as we sit on the porch on a balmy summer evening.
All of these active to do lists keep building in our systems to the extent that they increase our stress levels. These stressors, or to do tasks are what we carry forward to Monday morning so that we awake with stress levels greater than we started the weekend.
Everyone knows that stress over time can be deadly - it could eventually kill you. So, how do we reduce these stressors come Friday evening?
Some of us know that there is no easy way to forget what follows us from work. It's banal to think that you can just flip a mental switch and it's all turned off until you return to work. Instead of trying to forget about work related issues, try something like this nifty simple experiment to shelve some of your stress.
Take a few pieces of paper with pen in hand, and write down everything that's on your mind relative to what you need to do for work. Make the list as long as you need. Don't forget anything.
Once you're finished with your to do list, turn it over, and place it in a drawer or your briefcase. Walk away picturing this list secure and locked away - release the to do list from your mind knowing that you can return to it Monday morning with nothing forgotten.
Now, schedule a relaxing event for your mind to dwell on - it could be reading that novel that you've wanted to read for some time, it could be that activity you've promised to do with your children, or it could be engrossing yourself in your favourite hobby be it gardening, ham radio, jogging, tennis, bowling, model building, stamp collecting, or whatever gives you pleasure.
The idea, of course, is to reduce the stress caused from unfinished work tasks - you know you're not going to do them because you are not at work. This is your time to recharge your nervous system by releasing these tasks to their secure and locked location.
The physical act of releasing these to do lists should free your mind from building levels of stress associated with unfinished tasks from work.
Don't let stressors build stress - you are in control - take charge and enjoy your recharge time.

Quick Launch in Windows 7
Right-click on the taskbar and then click on Lock the taskbar to uncheck (unlock) it.
Then click on Toolbars and then on New Tool Bar in the menu that pops up.
Copy the following
%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
Paste the above into the Folder: dialog box near the bottom of the Toolbar - Choose a folder window and then click on the Select Folder button.
You can get rid of the 'Quick Launch' text by clicking on Show Title to uncheck it.
For those who don't want to read down through all the many comments, there is a solution to the problem with the Quick Launch disappearing on re-starting your system. If you have the language bar on your task bar, there is a conflict and the Quick Launch suffers for it. Moving the Language Bar off of the Task Bar solves the problem.
Thanks for reading and I will be updating this page again once I've had a chance to use the final release of Windows 7.

Have only just stumbled across this Blog, you made me giddy, all of you, just reading about what you do. Not able to do too much at the moment in the garden but give me a couple of months after all my operations and treatment stops and I will be into it again...
hahahaha I can relate !
yes Clive we go to Bunnings a lot usually I do on the way home from work ! Col spends his days in the shed too - once we got the house to live in stage - he works on all sorts of projects - built cubby house for the grand kids, green houses white house sprinkler system *( all automated,) , solar powered the kids caravan , kids solar cars , he is working on an automated system for a friends chook farm ( like 40,000 chooks not the few we have ) autmatic water tank level indication you can read off the computer ( how much water how much rain needed to fill tank daily water use etc ) fenced 5 acres, built yards and shade cover for the cattle ( all 2 of them automatic water troughs , slashes regularly , welded garden arches , trellises for squash and passionfuit and grape vines , in the middle of more raised garden beds , auquaponics set ups using solar panels, automated chook duck and guinea fowl feeders , Occassionally I am allowed to ride the mower but mostly I have learnt to plant and weed and keep out of his shed ! Col still has shelves o finish and indoor garden o finish in the house so nothing urgent and I know it will be done,,, yesterday we went to visit friends so now he is designing their solar panel system for them ! Engineers never retire ! And we both volunteer for local events - going to a funeral Tuesday then part of the catering team, part of a dinner on Friday nights group that raises funds for local community groups , we manage usually a garden visit one a weekend for the 5 dfferent groups we belong to , and of course a couple of days of the week we have the grandkids ... not bad for 2. 5 years here - house fencing gardens fruit trees etc. !
My Dad used to say that Clive! It's a good way to be, he had 23 years of fruitful retirement some of which including making things in his workshop, handicapping for the sailing club (pre-computer), playing in a band and doing voluntary work along with his food garden.
Apart from gardening and all that entails I spend a lot of time in my workshop. I originally made a learning/activity tower for my 18 month old granddaughter that was such a hit I now sell on Gumtree. Plus I make boxes and anything out of wood. The GV to Andy's has now got me thinking about having a go at distilling. I'm starting my own website. A few reno projects. Oh and I go to Bunnings a lot.
gosh Clive wish i was like that - tried retirement for a few weeks but nearly went insane - now back working casual and even today no work been outside since 5 30am working 7 30 come in for breakfast - out again til 9 30 then too hot til 3 pm then out til 6 or so - what do you fill the middle of the day up with -theres a limit to the housework, computer , crafts bill payment etc you can do ? anyway usually do them after evening meal or reading ! Bogi fruit club historical society , craft group etc meetings are in the evenings , bed about 10 30 pm
Now that I'm retired I wonder how I ever had time to go to work.
I used to suffer from industrial blindness a lot.
Wake up in the morning and can't see yourself going to work.
no Elaine i don will try the library for that too !
Mary-Ann do you have a copy of the Seed Saver's Handbook? It explains the distances you need to have between similar species which readily cross-pollinate.
I work so i can indulge a little in my passion for unusual plants ! Last year it was squash marrow pumpkin and gourds for food and hippeastrums for colour - but that didnt work for the food ones as they kept cross pollinating ! so this year its beans , and heliconias.. few more days work and I can send for some heliconias from El Arish

What Does America Needs Fatima Do?
America Needs Fatima's goal is to win the heart and soul of America for Mary by spreading Our Lady's Fatima message and promoting devotion to Her Immaculate Heart. America urgently needs the prophetic messages of Our Lady at Fatima. Above all, America needs a clear direction, a great purpose, and the means to achieve it. The admonitions, requests, and warnings of Mary Most Holy can rightly be called a heaven-sent survival manual.
The essence of Our Lady's message is to open our eyes to the gravity of today's moral corruption, to explain it in light of God's plans, and to outline how to prevent the chastisement. Our Lady is thus teaching us about our epoch and our future.
To fulfill this desire in spreading our Lady's message, America Needs Fatima (ANF) has organized pro-life rallies, anti-blasphemy protests, the distribution of millions of fliers nationwide, a home visitation program enthroning statues of Our Lady of Fatima, and the promotion of books and devotional items. All seek to draw people closer to God and His Blessed Mother. Please feel free to browse through this section of the American TFP's website and perhaps you might feel inclined to become a Fatima proclaimer.

As the loose-bowelled Pigeon of Time swoops low over the unsuspecting Tourist of Destiny, and the flatulent Skunk of Fate wanders into the Air-Conditioning System of Eternity (anyone else a ISIHAC fan?), I notice that I can at last see the end of the renovation in my distant line of sight, and that means I have to get my act together to start describing and promoting what we're offering at Grillou to the world.
And that's not as simple as it could be. Because the world of guest accommodation seems to be rigidly divided into this or that: self-catering or serviced, gîte or chambre d'hôte. You book a gîte: you arrive on a Saturday, hand over your security deposit, get your keys, make up your beds, do your thing for a week; then a week later you clean up, hand back the keys and go home, possibly having seen nothing of your hosts, who may not even live on site. You book a chambre d'hôte: you spend time as a part of your hosts' household - you talk with them, get to know them, you may eat with them, effectively share their lifestyle for a night or several ... but although you may be invited to share their living area your own space is usually limited to a bedroom and bathroom.
In France, as indeed in England when we lived there, the entire culture of domestic scale tourism revolves around this distinction. I'm supposed to choose which side of the line I fall on and which particular mould I fit, following which it will be decreed what I offer (or not), how I describe what I offer, what I advertise as, how I legally frame and register my business, how I select my tax régime and what expenses I'm permitted to deduct. And therein lies my problem. I don't do labels, I don't do moulds, and I don't do either-or. And so neither I, nor Grillou, will ever sit happily in a one-of-two-sizes-fits-all system.
We've been here before, in our restaurant days. "Are you a vegetarian restaurant?". "Er - no". "But you don't serve meat or fish ...". "Er - no". "So you must be a vegetarian restaurant then ...". "Er - no". (Okay, I wasn't quite as obtuse as that, but you get my drift). And here in France, where things are as they are just because they are, I suspect it's going to be pretty hard to break the mould. It is, after all, no accident that one of the favourite expressions here is "c'est comme ça" (that's how it is), accompanied of course by the famous shrug of the shoulders.
So when you're offering a chambre d'hôte that actually isn't a chambre but a whole tiny house, with its own hallway and a proper salon and a bedroom with a mezzanine, along with a huge two level gîte-apartment where you can arrive any day you like, stay for three days or fourteen, take breakfast or not, and where your bed will be made up for your arrival and your accommodation cleaned every other day ... well, it's pretty hard here to find yourself a meaningful tag. And that's without throwing into the pot the fact that each unit is designed, in spite of its size, for one couple without children (or four adults, if both are booked together) - and that in itself is going to be challenging to many French people, who are happy to cram as many people/kids/dogs as they can find into the tiniest space when on holiday and seem never to travel without at least two blow up beds for just that eventuality ... not to mention the fact that dinner will indeed be an option two or three times a week, but not every day; smoking will never be an option; and we don't take dogs (or cats, or hamsters, or ferrets).
Oh dear. I think I've just pretty much written myself off.

Just Water
Just water, please! That is what we say when we decline other beverages to quench our thirst. We think of water as something plain and tasteless, but humble as she may seem, water is anything but simple and her transparent purity conceals an invisible world.
Formless, water takes the shape of your glass as you swallow her, but she can also be the tsunami that swallows you. Colorless or colorful, simple or complex, silent or musical, beneficial or lethal, creative or destructive, seemingly common and ubiquitous yet also precious and rare, she is eternally the same, yet ever changing.
This great illusionist magnifies things as you hold your glass, bends the light, creates rainbows, disappears down your throat and reappears in your breath on a cold winter morning as a bit of vapour that draws wild gardens on your window.
Water binds herself to countless things: sometimes she carries beneficial minerals and sometimes she hides heavy metals or other contaminants that can sicken and kill us. Raging, unruly, chaotic, unpredictable and terrifying, water can also gently caress your face as a tear, a drop of sweat, or a raindrop.
Water engulfs you protectively in your mother's womb as she blends herself with you and with all that lives. Hidden inside you, transformed or transforming, she takes on the shape of your face as well as that of countless other life forms. She is a paradox that escapes your grasp, yet stays with you quite willingly to work her magic inside you.
Seemingly restless and in constant motion, she travels in the deepest recesses of space riding on the icy tail of a comet, or hiding deep in the heart of an asteroid, then lies perfectly still on the ground at your feet, quietly reflecting the universe and inviting you to do the same.
She may appear as young and guileless as a little girl playing in rainwater puddles, but that too is just one of her disguises because this old thing is not only more ancient than life on earth, older than our sun and moon, she also plays more roles than we ever imagined.
Can we ever know her true nature, or will she remain an ever-changing mystery filled with concealed surprises? Water is a multi-facetted entity that has countless aspects, countless masks. Is there a wise old sorceress smiling knowingly behind that mask, or is that just another one of her many faces?

Any business requirements money, beit human or financial. A start-up will also need customers, which is extremely crucial in the sense that the success of the company to some extend is dependent on the number of clients you are able to attract. This means that the first factor you need to be concentrating on finding out what kind of businesses you are to target. To be able to decide on customers you need to know your niche market. What type Penske home depot truck Rental service do want to provide? Do you just want to lease out trucks? Or do you want to transportation goods in big quantity for possible clients? Asking these questions will help you come to narrow choice as to what precisely you want to provide.If you decide to use a moving company, research for a number of estimates to get the very best cost. If it appears like it may be too great to be true, then you know it most likely is. Be sure to ask for referrals and references from friends and family members members before you hire a moving business.On finding about the costs concerned in moving truck businesses, you will see costs various with the day of week for the exact same distance and goods. Sundays are a small more costly since numerous people wish to dispatch on the weekend. Keep in mind that when you are using the services of a moving truck rather than a packers and movers, the business does not deliver a helper to load the truck. You will probably have to ask a buddy to assist you with this, as drivers do not like loading and unloading - that is not a part and parcel of their occupation, although some might help you right here and there.Rent a moving truck for at minimum two times. If you only rent a truck for one day, you might run into problems and end up having to function around the clock. Leasing a truck for two days enables you to consider breaks and accommodate any delays with out stress.The vendor of the house you buy might have pay as you go the home taxes or in the case of a condominium the month-to-month upkeep fees beyond the day established for closing the sale. If so you will have to reimburse them on a professional rated basis.For instance, I can rent a truck to haul my items to my new place. Or I can pay the Local shifting business to move it for me. Sometimes if you do it your self it can be much less costly but if you do not plan right it can turn out to be pricey. You might as nicely have a nearby shifting business do it for you. For one, it will conserve your back again with all the lifting you will have to do. If your back is like mine you can raise for about two hrs and then contact it a day.Have you at any time attempted to complete a move with a pet or much more than 1? If you have, then you know just how difficult it can be. While some smaller animals are simple to move, other people, such as dogs and cats can be ornery and contentious. It requires time, preparing, and business to successfully move these animals most of the time, and it can truly make a lot of work for the owners. Thankfully, there are a couple of moving options open to you that can decrease the problems related with moving animals significantly.Another element to think about is general convenience First, shifting containers will be dropped off correct in front of your house. Plus, when you are carried out loading, the moving container company will come and choose it up for you. In fact, they will even drop it off at your new place. This is certainly not a service that you would get when you rent a truck.Sometimes the more experienced movers can get the occupation carried out a great deal quicker. The quantity of time it will consider you to do it your self will most likely end up becoming much more costly then employing a moving company. Don't hurt your back again, spend thats why you spend the mover to do?Once the house is packed, take treatment of last minute shifting products like cleaning, shopping for your new house necessities, and maintaining up with working day-to-working day chores. Have every member of your family stroll through every space of the house a few hrs before the moving truck comes, and then once more following the movers are finished. As soon as the house is emptied, it is time to head off to your destination and settle into your new home.Learn to think outdoors of the box. The solutions are everywhere! Begin to inquire yourself, "how can I purchase this less expensive?" and if you really want it, discover a way to get what you want in a different way. It all is dependent on your perception!Once there, they unloaded every thing for me while I was able to invest time with my mom. Before leaving, they produced sure that I was satisfied with every thing and told me to contact them back if I noticed any problems in the next few times. This was one of the simplest moves I've at any time produced and I sure am glad that I hired a moving company.While you might not be in a position to alleviate all of the head aches associated with relocation, you can transfer intelligent. The first stage is to make a "moving checklist". This checklist will ensure that you have taken care of all the necessities so that no stone if still left unturned throughout a potentially tension filled time.


text: HANDBAGS don't come more luxurious than those by ** Zagliani**, a label that has become synonymous with stylish shapes, vibrant colours and, most importantly, exotic leather. A firm favourite with the fashion pack, the label - founded in the Thirties by Bruna Zagliani in Milan - has been updated over the last few seasons by ex-dermatologist Mauro Orietti Carella who, using his medical knowledge of skin rejuvenation techniques, has relaunched the bags with a new formula. Specialising mostly in crocodile and python leather, Carella uses high resin and silicone injections to the handbags to ensure the surface is smooth, shiny and protected from the elements. This season, after a first year of sell-outs in totes, oversized bags and the clutch - this season's most important trend - Zagliani's spring/summer 2008 collection, now in at Matches, has the metallic staples that the label is known for as well as some new rainbow brights to celebrate the colour palette of the new season.

WiFi to Go: Mobile Hotspot
A mobile hotspot is a portable Wi-Fi device that allows you to carry a portable internet source with you wherever you go. With a mobile hotspot, you will have wireless internet access in your car, at home or anywhere else, for up to 10 devices at a time. It does not need to be plugged into a data port and you do not need a wireless or internet subscription to use it.
What kind of mobile hotspots are included in TLL Wi-Fi to Go?
Wi-Fi to Go is a pilot project of the Olathe Public Library to provide free mobile internet access in our community. The library collection has several hotspots which provide internet access to smartphones, tablets and other wireless-enabled devices through a cellular network. A hotspot can support up to 10 devices at a time and provide unlimited internet service. Service is dependent on the availability of the network where the hotspot is being used.
Where can I check out a mobile hotspot?
Mobile hotspots may only be checked out, returned and renewed at the Downtown Olathe library, 201 E. Park St.
How do I get started?
You will need to become a member of the Tool Lending Library (TLL). In order to become a member of the TLL, you will need to visit the Downtown library in person and meet the following requirements:
How do I check out a mobile hotspot from the tool library?
Once your application is approved, you may select a mobile hotspot in the collection. Ask at the Information desk and staff will retrieve and check it out for you.
How long can I check out the tools or a piece of equipment?
Mobile hotspots will check out for a period of seven (7) days.
How many mobile hotspots or tools can I check out at one time?
Only one (1) mobile hotspot per member of the TLL, and up to five (5) items from the TLL may be borrowed at a time.
Can I place a hold if the item I want is currently checked out?
Yes, a hold may be placed for the mobile hotspots if they are all checked out.
Can I renew?
You may renew a mobile hotspot up to two times if there are no holds. You must renew in person at the Downtown library.
How do I return the mobile hotspots?
Mobile hotspots should be returned in person to the Downtown library during days and times when the library is open. Bring your items to the Information desk, where staff will inspect the hotspot and its accessories for condition and missing parts.
Do I need to charge the mobile hotspot before I return it?
Yes, please! Please fully charge the mobile hotspot before you return it. Borrowed mobile hotspots must be returned in good condition.
What if I have the mobile hotspot past the due date?
You are responsible for each day that the mobile hotspot is kept past the due date. Fines accrue each day the TLL is open and are based on the cost of the item:
|Cost of the Mobile Hotspot
|$100.00 and higher
|Daily Overdue Fine
|Maximum Overdue Fine
If a mobile hotspot is not returned within seven (7) days of the due date, the maximum overdue fine will be removed from your account and a bill for the replacement cost of the item will be added. You must return the mobile hotspot with all components (hotspot device, power adapter, cord and case) for the library to consider the item checked in and returned.
What happens if the mobile hotspot is lost or damaged?
You will be charged for the mobile hotspot and/or any accessory not returned or returned damaged. Replacement costs:
|Mobile Hotspot Unit:
|Power Adapter/Cord:
|Total Replacement Cost:
What information about my internet usage, if any, is tracked by the library or the service provider?
Your internet usage is not tracked by the Library or the service provider.
Is the mobile hotspot secure?
Hotspots are unsecured, wireless networks and any information being sent or received over the network could potentially be intercepted by another wireless user. Mobile hotspot borrowers are cautioned against transmitting their credit card information, passwords and other sensitive, personal information while using any wireless network, and do so at their own risk.
Is the mobile hotspot filtered?
The mobile hotspots are not equipped with any Internet-filtering capabilities. Borrowers are entirely responsible for any content accessed through a mobile hotspot. Mobile hotspot borrowers are responsible for protecting children from inappropriate content. Mobile hotspot users should refrain from online activity that violates federal, state, or local laws.
How much data can I use?
The mobile hotspots are on unlimited data plans managed by the Library.
What do I do if I successfully connected, however, I have slow-to-no internet access?
The mobile hotspots gain internet access through Sprint cell towers. If the mobile hotspot has no signal from Sprint, it will not be able to give you internet access. Check the front of the mobile hotspot and look for signal bars. If no bars are found, the device has no signal. Turn the device off and back on to try and gain internet access. If signal bars do not appear, you may be out of Sprint's network coverage.
How long does the battery last?
The device's battery life will vary.
How do I disconnect a personal device from the mobile hotspot?
The mobile hotspot does not have the ability to forget or disconnect devices from itself. You must manually go into the Wi-Fi settings on your device and "forget" the mobile hotspot in order to disconnect.
Can I use the mobile hotspot outside the U.S.?
No, the mobile hotspots only work in the U.S.

Friends of The CALL in Boone & Newton Counties,
I'm excited to share with you some big news! In the New Year, there will be some exciting transitions and changes to our area! I have accepted a new job and will be stepping down as County Coordinator for Boone & Newton Counties. My new job will be at Grandma's House, the Children's Advocacy Center in our area. Many of you are familiar with our children's advocacy partners. We work very closely with several of these groups. I will begin working for them in January to allow time for transitions here.
Throughout the last several years, God has led my family on a journey through foster care and adoption ministry and it's been a rocky road for sure! I've been able to work hand in hand with Grandma's House to serve children who were placed in our home. I've seen children thrive and flourish thanks to their services. Now, I will get to work with those children on a daily basis! God is placing me in a different calling for this season of my life! I'm excited to see what this new partnership will look like for my family and for this ministry.
We have a transition team in place working through these changes with us at The CALL, but I'm not going anywhere. I plan to remain involved with The CALL, but it will be in a different capacity. I will definitely stay on as a trainer. My heart has always been to share with others my passion for fostering and adopting. My love for this ministry is strong. I was with the original team that brought The CALL to Boone County. I worked with the team that added Newton County with us earlier this year. My desire to raise awareness for children in foster care has not changed. My family has been greatly impacted by The CALL and all of their support over the last few years as we served as foster and adoptive parents. We are so thankful to you, our community, for your support. We truly have been blessed by all of your love, prayers, and faithfulness in supporting us on this journey together.
We are excited to announce to you that Jamie Phillips will be stepping in as the new County Coordinator for The CALL in Boone & Newton Counties! Jamie has filled many critical roles within our counties and has been an integral part of our success. We have the highest confidence in Jamie and look forward to her leadership of Boone & Newton Counties.
Thank you for being patient with us and for your prayers for myself, my family, and The CALL's staff and volunteers throughout this time of transition. We are excited to see what God has in store for us as we continue to grow and change! We always say it takes a village to do this ministry and I'm excited to be on a new journey as our village is extended in a new direction!
God Bless you all and thank you for your prayers and continued support!
